As a result of the pandemic, management evaluated the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the financial services industry and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have had a negative effect on the Company's operations, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements and, accordingly, these financial statements do not include ant adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
