JANEL CORP

We file income tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state and local tax jurisdictions. During March 2021, we were informed by the Internal Revenue Service that our income tax return for the 2018 tax year was under examination. The timing of the resolution of tax audits is highly uncertain, as are the amounts, if any, that may ultimately be paid upon such resolution. The Company remains subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations for 2016 and subsequent years. The Company remains subject to state tax examination for 2016 and subsequent years in the applicable states.

The worldwide outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020, has impacted and may continue to impact our business operations, including employees, customers, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow for an extended period of time. Federal and state governments have implemented measures in an effort to contain the virus, including social distancing, travel restrictions, border closures, limitations on public gatherings, work from home, supply chain logistical changes, and closure of nonessential businesses, which measures adversely impacted our business operations in the fiscal year 2020 and may continue to do so in 2021. Although there are effective vaccines for COVID-19 that have been approved for use, we are unable to predict how widely utilized the vaccines will be, whether they will be effective in preventing the spread of COVID-19 (including its variant strains), and when or if normal economic activity and business operations will resume. As such, the full magnitude that the pandemic will have on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity, and future results of operations remains uncertain. Management is actively monitoring the impact of the global situation on its financial condition, liquidity, operations, industry, and workforce.
