ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S

DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF

OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis contains

forward-looking statements about future revenues, operating

results, plans and expectations. Forward-looking statements are

based on a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently

subject to significant risks and uncertainties and our results

could differ materially from the results anticipated by our

forward-looking statements as a result of many known or unknown

factors, including, but not limited to, those factors discussed in

Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors. Also, please read the

“Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking

Statements” set forth at the beginning of this Annual Report

on Form 10-K.

In

addition, the following discussion should be read in conjunction

with Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K as well as our

consolidated financial statements and the related Notes contained

elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview

We are

a medical technology company focused on developing and

commercializing transformative technologies to improve clinical

outcomes and reduce healthcare expenditures in the surgical and

chronic wound and skin care markets. Our portfolio of products and

services will allow us to deliver comprehensive wound and skin care

solutions for patients in all care settings, including acute

(hospitals and long-term acute care hospitals

(“LTACHs”)) and post-acute (wound care clinics,

physician offices, skilled nursing facilities (“SNFs”),

home health, hospice, and retail). Each of our products, services,

and technologies contributes to our overall goal of achieving

better clinical outcomes at a lower overall cost for patients

regardless of where they receive care. We strive to be one of the

most innovative and comprehensive providers of effective wound and

skin care products and technologies and are continually seeking to

expand our offerings for patients requiring wound and skin care

treatments across the entire continuum of care in the United

States.

We

currently market seven products across chronic and surgical wound

care applications and have multiple products in our pipeline. We

license our products from research and development partners Applied

Nutritionals, LLC (“AN”) (through a sublicense with CGI

Cellerate RX, LLC (“CGI Cellerate RX”), an affiliate of

The Catalyst Group, Inc. (“Catalyst”)) and Rochal

Industries, LLC (“Rochal”) and have the right to

exclusively distribute certain products under development by Cook

Biotech Inc. (“Cook Biotech”). In 2021, we intend to

begin marketing three biologic products for surgical and wound care

applications pursuant to our marketing and distribution agreement

with Cook Biotech.

In June

2020, we formed a subsidiary, United Wound and Skin Solutions LLC

(“UWSS”), to hold certain investments and operations in

wound and skin care virtual consult services. We anticipate that

our various service offerings will allow clinicians/physicians

utilizing our technologies to collect and analyze large amounts of

data on patient conditions and outcomes that will improve treatment

protocols and ultimately lead to more evidence-based formulary to

improve patient outcomes. We intend to launch our initial virtual

consult service offerings in 2021. Through a combination of our

UWSS services and our Sanara products, we believe we will be able

to offer patient care solutions at every step in the continuum of

wound and skin care from diagnosis through healing.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Beginning

in March 2020, many states issued orders suspending elective

surgeries in order to free-up hospital resources to treat COVID-19

patients. This resulted in a reduction in demand for our surgical

products beginning in the second half of March 2020. Additionally,

most states limited access to SNFs to only resident caregivers,

which impeded our ability to provide education and product training

to the clinicians who use our products in these facilities. These

restrictions resulted in an overall decline in sales for the second

quarter of 2020. During the third and fourth quarters of 2020, we

saw a strong rebound in product sales as restrictions on elective

surgeries eased in our primary markets in Texas, Florida, and the

southeastern United States.

As a

result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we significantly reduced costs in

areas such as payroll, consulting, business travel, and other

discretionary spending. The duration of the pandemic is uncertain;

however, management believes that elective surgical procedures will

continue to be performed with the exception of certain geographic

COVID-19 hotspots. We will continue to closely monitor the COVID-19

pandemic in order to ensure the safety of our people and our

ability to serve our customers and patients.

Cellerate Acquisition

Effective

August 28, 2018, we consummated definitive agreements that

continued operations to market our principal product, CellerateRX,

through a 50% ownership interest in a newly formed entity,

Cellerate, LLC (“Cellerate”), which began operations on

September 1, 2018. The remaining 50% ownership interest was held by

an affiliate of Catalyst, which acquired the exclusive license to

CellerateRX products. Cellerate conducted operations with an

exclusive sublicense from the Catalyst affiliate to distribute

CellerateRX products in the United States, Canada and Mexico (which

sublicense was subsequently amended to include worldwide

distribution rights). In connection with the formation of

Cellerate, we issued a convertible promissory note to an affiliate

of Catalyst in the original principal amount of $1.5 million, which

was convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion

price of $9.00 per share.

On

March 15, 2019, we acquired Catalyst’s 50% interest in

Cellerate in exchange for the issuance of 1,136,815 shares of our

newly created Series F Convertible Preferred Stock (the

“Cellerate Acquisition”). Each share of Series F

Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible at the option of the

holder, at any time, into two shares of common stock. Additionally,

each holder of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock was entitled to

vote on all matters submitted for a vote of our shareholders with

votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such

holder’s shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock could

then be converted. Following the closing of the Cellerate

Acquisition, Mr. Ronald T. Nixon, Founder and Managing Partner of

Catalyst, was elected to our board of directors, effective March

15, 2019.

46

The

Cellerate Acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger and

recapitalization because, immediately following the completion of

the transaction, Catalyst could obtain effective control of the

Company upon conversion of its convertible preferred stock and

convertible promissory note, both of which could occur at

Catalyst’s option. Additionally, Cellerate’s officers

and senior executive positions continued on as management of the

combined entity after consummation of the Cellerate Acquisition.

For accounting purposes, Cellerate was deemed to be the acquirer in

the transaction and, consequently, the Cellerate Acquisition was

treated as a recapitalization of Sanara MedTech. As part of the

reverse merger and recapitalization, the net liabilities existing

in the Company as of the date of the Cellerate Acquisition totaling

approximately $1,666,537, which included $508,973 of cash, were

converted to equity as part of the Cellerate Acquisition. No

step-up in basis or intangible assets or goodwill was recorded in

this transaction.

The

Company’s financials for the twelve months ended December 31,

2019 do not include revenues and expenses related to the

predecessor for the period January 1, 2019 through March 15, 2019.

During this period, the predecessor’s revenues were

approximately $34,000 and expenses were approximately

$348,000.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective

May 10, 2019, we effected a reverse stock split of the issued and

outstanding shares of our common stock at a ratio of one share for

every 100 shares. All share and per share information in this

discussion and analysis has been adjusted to reflect the reverse

stock split.

Components of Results of Operations

Sources of Revenues

Our

revenue is derived primarily from sales of our surgical wound care

products to hospitals and other acute care facilities, and sales of

our chronic wound care products to customers across the post-acute

continuum of care. Our revenue is driven by direct orders shipped

by us to our customers, and to a lesser extent, direct sales to

customers through delivery at the time of procedure by one of our

sales representatives. We generally recognize revenue when our

product is received by the customer.

Revenue

streams from product sales and royalties are summarized below for

the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. All revenue was

generated in the United States.

Year Ended December 31,

We

recognize royalty revenue from a development and licensing

agreement with BioStructures, LLC. We record revenue each calendar

quarter as earned per the terms of the agreement which stipulates

that we will receive quarterly royalty payments of at least

$50,250. Under the terms of the development and license agreement,

royalties of 2.0% are recognized on sales of products containing

our patented resorbable bone hemostasis. The minimum annual royalty

due to our Company is $201,000 per year throughout the life of the

patent which expires in 2023. These royalties are payable in

quarterly installments of $50,250. To date, royalties related to

this development and licensing agreement have not exceeded the

annual minimum of $201,000 ($50,250 per quarter).

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of

goods sold consists of the acquisition costs from the manufacturers

of our licensed products, raw material costs for certain components

sourced directly by our Company, and all royalties related due as a

result of the sale of our products. Our gross profit represents

total revenue less the cost of goods sold, and gross margin is

gross profit expressed as a percentage of total

revenue.

Operating Expenses

Selling,

general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”)

consist primarily of salaries, sales commissions, benefits,

bonuses, and stock-based compensation. SG&A also includes

outside legal counsel, audit fees, insurance premiums, rent, and

other corporate expenses. We expense all SG&A expenses as

incurred. We expect our SG&A expenses to increase in absolute

dollars and decrease as a percent of revenue as we grow our

commercial organization.

47

Other Income (Expense)

Other

income (expense) is primarily comprised of interest income,

interest expense and other non-operating activities. Interest

expense during 2020 consisted primarily of interest expense

associated with our unsecured promissory note under the Paycheck

Protection Program (the “PPP”) pursuant to the

Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, and for 2019,

consisted primarily of interest on amounts due on our revolving

line of credit that matured in June 2020. Interest income consists

of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents.

Results of Operations

Revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2020,

we generated revenues of $15,586,976 compared to revenues of

$11,766,763 for the year ended December 31, 2019, a 32% increase

from the prior year. The higher

revenues in 2020 were primarily

due to increased sales of surgical wound care products as we

continued the execution of our strategy to expand our sales force

and independent distribution network in both new and existing U.S.

markets.

Beginning

in March 2020, many states issued orders suspending elective

surgeries in order to free-up hospital resources to treat COVID-19

patients. This resulted in a reduction in demand for our surgical

products beginning in the second half of March 2020. Additionally,

most states limited access to SNFs to only resident caregivers,

which impeded our ability to provide education and product training

to the clinicians who use our products in these facilities. These

restrictions resulted in an overall decline in sales for the second

quarter of 2020.

During

the third and fourth quarters of 2020, we saw a strong rebound in

product sales as restrictions on elective surgeries eased in our

primary markets in Texas, Florida, and the southeastern United

States. Fourth quarter revenues of $4,789,138 were up 43%

compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, and represented a record

high sales quarter for the Company.

Cost of goods sold.

Cost of goods sold for the year ended December 31, 2020 was

$1,616,625, compared to costs of goods sold of $1,209,300 for the

year ended December 31, 2019. The increase over prior year was

primarily due to higher sales volume.

Selling, generalandadministrativeexpenses(“SG&A”).

SG&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were

$18,683,594 compared to SG&A expenses of $13,067,569 for the

year ended December 31, 2019. The higher SG&A expenses in 2020

were primarily due to increased payroll costs resulting from sales

force expansion and operational support, higher sales commission

expense as a result of higher product sales, and higher costs

related to the expansion of our comprehensive wound and skin care

strategy.

The

higher SG&A expenses are consistent with our strategy of

building out a larger sales force and independent distribution

network and the expansion of our comprehensive wound and skin care

strategy. New sales representatives generally take six to twelve

months to begin generating significant revenue. We expect SG&A

expenses to decline as a percentage of revenue in the next two

years as revenue generated by new sales representatives begins to

offset the cost of the sales force expansion.

Interest

expense.

Interest expense was $11,528 for the year ended December 31, 2020,

as compared to $105,919 for the year ended December 31, 2019. The

lower interest expense was primarily due to declines in draws on

our revolving line of credit that matured in June 2020 and the

conversion of an interest-bearing promissory note to common stock

in early 2020.

Net income / loss. For the year ended

December 31, 2020, we had a net loss of $4,445,145, compared to net

loss of $2,835,778 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Our fourth

quarter net loss of $266,453 was favorably impacted by the

recognition of $586,174 of Other income related to the forgiveness

of our PPP Loan, and a $342,930 reduction of SG&A due to the

capitalization of certain SG&A costs as internal use software.

The net loss in 2020 was due to higher SG&A costs described

above, which have been driven by our strategy to expand our

geographic coverage through significant investments in sales force

expansion, operational support and the expansion of our

comprehensive wound and skin care strategy.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash on

hand at December 31, 2020 was $455,366, compared to $6,611,928 at

December 31, 2019. Historically, we have financed our operations

primarily from the sale of equity securities. During 2019 and 2020,

our principal sources of liquidity have been cash generated from

operations, utilization of our bank line of credit that matured in

June 2020, cash provided by an unsecured promissory note in the

principal amount of $583,000 (“the PPP Loan”) to

Cadence Bank, N.A. (“Cadence”) pursuant to the PPP, and

$10,000,000 in proceeds received from a private placement of our

common stock in October 2019.

48

On

February 12, 2021, we closed an underwritten public offering of

1,265,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of

$25.00 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $31,625,000, before

deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated

offering expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds from the

offering to expand our salesforce and for further development of

its products, services and technologies pipeline, clinical studies

and general corporate purposes, including working capital (see

Note 13 to the consolidated

financial statements contained elsewhere in this Annual Report on

Form 10-K for more information on this offering). Based on our

current plan of operations, including acquisitions, we believe our

cash on hand, when combined with expected cash flows from

operations and amounts available under our revolving credit

facility, will be sufficient to fund our growth strategy and to

meet our anticipated operating expenses and capital expenditures

for at least the next twelve months.

On

January 15, 2021, we entered into a new loan agreement with Cadence

(the “Loan Agreement”), providing for a $2.5 million

revolving line of credit. The revolving line of credit matures on

January 13, 2023, and is secured by substantially all of our

assets. Any amounts outstanding will bear interest of 0.75% plus

the “Prime Rate” designated in the “Money

Rates” section of the Wall Street Journal. Proceeds from the

line of credit are to be used to provide additional working capital

in support of current assets and for other general corporate

purposes and may not be used for acquisitions.

The

line of credit contains customary representations and warranties

and requires us to maintain compliance with certain financial

covenants, including, among others, a minimum liquidity of

$1,000,000 as of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, a minimum

Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Loan Agreement) of $1,000,000

and, beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, a

minimum Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Loan Agreement)

of 1.5 to 1.0. The Loan Agreement also contains customary events of

default. If such an event of default occurs, Cadence would be

entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of

amounts due under the Loan Agreement. We generally may (and must,

under certain circumstances) prepay all or a portion of the

principal outstanding on the revolving line of credit prior to its

contractual maturity. As of March 30, 2021, no amounts were owed

under the Loan Agreement.

As a

result of the COVID-19 pandemic, beginning in March 2020, we

significantly reduced costs in areas such as payroll, consulting,

business travel, and other discretionary spending. We are

continuing to monitor our cash flow and plan to make additional

expenditure adjustments as necessary. In November 2020, we were

informed that the full amount of the PPP Loan was forgiven. The

forgiveness of the loan was recognized as Other income at that

time. If appropriate, we may pursue additional financing including

issuing additional stock and incurring additional debt to support

our strategic initiatives. If we are unable to obtain additional

funding for operations at any time in the future, we may not be

able to continue expanding the business as currently planned which

would require us to modify various aspects of our

operations.

On

November 9, 2020, our subsidiary, UWSS, entered into agreements to

purchase shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the

“Series A Stock”) of Precision Healing Inc.

(“Precision Healing”) for an aggregate purchase price

of $600,000. The Series A Stock is convertible into 150,000 shares

of common stock of Precision Healing and has a senior liquidity

preference relative to the common shareholders. As stipulated in

the agreements with Precision Healing, UWSS invested an additional

$600,000 in February 2021 for 150,000 additional shares of Series A

Stock. The additional shares of Series A Stock will convert into

shares of common stock of Precision Healing at a ratio based on the

date Precision Healing delivers a development milestone related to

a wound diagnostic tool currently under development.

On July

7, 2019, we executed a license agreement with Rochal whereby we

acquired an exclusive world-wide license to market, sell and

further develop antimicrobial products for the prevention and

treatment of microbes on the human body utilizing certain Rochal

patents and pending patent applications (the “BIAKŌS

License Agreement”). Under the terms of the BIAKŌS

License Agreement, we agreed to pay Rochal $750,000 upon the

completion of a capital raise, on or before December 31, 2022, of

at least $10,000,000 through the sale of our common stock or

assets. At our option, the $750,000 payment may be paid in any

combination of cash and our common stock. In March 2021, we issued

20,834 shares of our common stock to Rochal as full payment of the

$750,000 which became due upon the Company’s completion of a

capital raise in February 2021.

For the

year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in operating activities

was $4,034,518 compared to $2,167,401 used in operating activities

for the year ended December 31, 2019. The higher use of cash in

2020 was primarily due to our investment in sales force expansion,

corporate infrastructure, and start-up costs related to telehealth

services including the development of electronic imagery and data

sharing technology to support virtual consultation and

diagnostics.

For the

year ended December 31, 2020, net cash used in investing activities

was $2,744,374 compared to $1,197,097 used in investing activities

during the year ended December 31, 2019. The cash used in investing

activities during 2020 was primarily due to our entry into a

product license agreement with Rochal in May 2020, which included

an initial cash payment of $600,000, along with a $500,000

milestone payment made to Rochal during the first quarter of 2020

as a result of FDA clearance of BIAKŌS Antimicrobial Wound

Gel. During the third quarter of 2020, a $500,000 long-term

investment was made to purchase a minority interest in DirectDerm.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, a $600,000 long-term investment

was made in Precision Healing.

For the

year ended December 31, 2020, net cash provided by financing

activities was $622,330 as compared to $9,800,005 provided by

financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2019. The cash

provided by financing activities in 2020 was primarily related to

funds received from the PPP Loan. Cash provided by financing

activities for the year ended December 31, 2019 was due to proceeds

received from a $10,000,000 private placement of our common stock

in October 2019.

Material Transactions with Related Parties

CellerateRx Sublicense Agreement

We have

an exclusive, world-wide sublicense to distribute CellerateRX

products into the wound care and surgical markets from an affiliate

of Catalyst, CGI Cellerate RX, which licenses the rights to

CellerateRX from AN. Sales of CellerateRX have comprised the

majority of our sales during 2018, 2019 and 2020. On January 26,

2021, we amended the term of the sublicense agreement to extend the

term to May 17, 2050, with automatic one-year renewals so long as

annual net sales of CellerateRX exceed $1,000,000. We pay royalties

based on our annual net sales of CellerateRX consisting of 3% of

all collected net sales each year up to $12,000,000, 4% of all

collected net sales each year that exceed $12,000,000 up to

$20,000,000, and 5% of all collected net sales each year that

exceed $20,000,000. Minimum royalties of $400,000 per year are

payable for the first five years of the sublicense agreement, which

was entered on August 27, 2018. For the years ended December 31,

2020 and 2019, royalties due under the terms of this agreement

totaled $479,809 and $400,000, respectively.

Ronald

T. Nixon, our Executive Chairman, is the founder and managing

partner of Catalyst. Mr. Nixon and Catalyst, collectively with

their affiliates, including CGI Cellerate RX, beneficially owned

3,481,406 shares of our common stock as of December 31,

2020.

Convertible Notes Payable

In

connection with the Cellerate Acquisition, we issued a 30-month

convertible promissory note to CGI Cellerate RX, an affiliate of

Catalyst, in the principal amount of $1,500,000, bearing interest

at a 5% annual interest rate, compounded quarterly. Interest on the

promissory note was payable quarterly but could have been deferred

at our election to the maturity of the promissory note. Outstanding

principal and interest were convertible at CGI Cellerate RX’s

option into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of

$9.00 per share.

On

February 7, 2020, CGI Cellerate RX converted its $1,500,000

promissory note, including accrued interest of $111,911, into

179,101 shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2020, there

were no related party promissory notes or accrued interest

outstanding.

Payables

We had

outstanding payables to related parties totaling $223,589 at

December 31, 2020, and $68,668 at December 31, 2019.

Manufacturing and Technical Services Agreements

On

September 9, 2020, we executed a manufacturing agreement with

Rochal. Under the terms of the manufacturing agreement, Rochal

agreed to manufacture, package, and label products we licensed from

Rochal. The manufacturing agreement includes customary terms and

conditions. The term of the agreement is for a period of five years

unless extended by the mutual consent of the parties. For the year

ended December 31, 2020, we incurred $285,155 of inventory

manufacturing costs with Rochal.

On

September 9, 2020, we executed a technical services agreement with

Rochal. Under the terms of the technical services agreement, Rochal

will provide its expertise and services on technical service

projects identified by us for wound care, skin care and surgical

site care applications. The technical services agreement includes

customary terms and conditions for our industry. For the year ended

December 31, 2020, we incurred $364,881 of costs for Rochal

technical services. We may terminate this agreement at any

time.

Ronald

T. Nixon, our Executive Chairman, is also a director of Rochal, and

indirectly a significant shareholder of Rochal, and through the

potential exercise of warrants a majority shareholder of Rochal.

Ann Beal Salamone, a director, is a significant shareholder, the

former president and current Chairman of the Board of

Rochal.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Inflation

and changing prices have not had a material impact on our

historical results of operations. We do not currently anticipate

that inflation and changing prices will have a material impact on

our future results of operations.

50

Critical Accounting Policies

Our

discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of

operations are based on our consolidated financial statements,

which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles

generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these

consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and

judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities,

and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and on

various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under

the circumstances. The results of these assumptions form the basis

for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and

liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Under

different assumptions or conditions, actual results may differ from

these estimates. We have identified certain significant accounting

policies which involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity

in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts

reported in our consolidated financial statements, as summarized

below.

Revenue Recognition

We

recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards

Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts

with Customers, which we adopted on January 1, 2018 using the

modified retrospective method. Revenues are recognized when control

of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customer in

an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled

to receive in exchange for transferring those goods or services.

Revenue is recognized based on the following five step

model:

-

Identification of the contract with a customer

-

Identification of the performance obligations in the

contract

-

Determination of the transaction price

-

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations

in the contract

-

Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance

obligation

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived

assets, including certain identifiable intangibles held and to be

used by our Company, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or

changes in circumstances, including the COVID-19 pandemic, indicate

that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. We

continuously evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets

based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation

value of such long-lived assets and provide for impairment if such

undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying

amount of the long-lived assets. If impairment exists, an

adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a

loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and

fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market

values, undiscounted cash flows or internal and external

appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at

the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. No

impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2020

and 2019.

Investment in Equity Securities

Our

investments consist of non-marketable equity securities in

privately held companies without readily determinable fair values,

and are reported at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus

changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly

transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same

issuer. We have reviewed the carrying value of our investments and

have determined there was no impairment or observable price changes

as of December 31, 2020.

Inventories

Inventories

are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost

computed on a first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist of

finished goods and related packaging components. We recorded

inventory obsolescence expense of $318,076 for the year ended

December 31, 2020 and $120,442 for the year ended December 31,

2019. The allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory had a

balance of $276,603 at December 31, 2020, and $43,650 at December

31, 2019. We considered the impact of COVID-19 on our recorded

value of inventory and determined no adjustment was necessary as of

December 31, 2020.

Use of Estimates

The

preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally

accepted accounting principles requires management to make

estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the

financial statements and accompanying notes. The extent to which

the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our

business, financial condition, and results of operations is highly

uncertain and subject to change. We considered the potential impact

of the COVID-19 pandemic on our estimates and assumptions and

determined there was not a material impact on our estimates and

assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements

as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020; however, actual

results could differ from those estimates and there may be changes

to our estimates in future periods.

Filing HTML rendered to line-structured narrative text by the shipped reducer (datafeeds.edgar_fulltext.visible_text, keep_table_headers=True): scripts and inline-XBRL headers are dropped, and table content is reduced to its short label cells — numeric table data is not rendered and is therefore not counted. The same rendering is used for every year, so a year-over-year comparison is like for like.

The text is our rendering of the filing, not a facsimile: original pagination, typography and tables are not reproduced, and the numbers live in the financial statements (FA).

The outline locates item HEADINGS in this document. Only Items 1A and 7 have certified boundaries elsewhere in the terminal (the redline and the narrative-overlap number); every span here runs from one heading found to the next heading found.

How the outline was chosen. It is the longest chain of item headings that runs forward through both the document and the standard item order: 21 headings are on that chain and 15 further heading-shaped lines are not — the table-of-contents echo of every item, cross-references and exhibit-list mentions. Each entry's length is measured from its heading to the next heading on the chain.
