Recent Developments
In fiscal 2021 to date, management has expanded on the services and options the Company provides for its customers. A new website for the Extremit-Ease product was created and is operational (www.extremitease.com). Management is also working on new Business to Customer (B to C) channels to provide Retail customers better opportunity to purchase our products. The Company also expanded its facilities in January, moving into approximately 18,000 square feet of office and warehouse space. This move brought the Company back under a single roof. This has already proven to be very beneficial to our operations. In fiscal 2020, AMERX's Extremit-Ease Compression Garment line expanded with the introduction of a Tan version of the garment and matching liner. The Amerx Wound Care line was boosted by the introduction of Retention Tape to its' line up. The Company also expanded the Helix 3 Collagen line with new sizes, made available for certain customers.

Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business
The financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic started showing their impact on our Company in March of 2020. Due to the timing of these events, the full effect of COVID-19 on our business cannot yet be fully quantified. We have felt the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in our operations, as management continues to dedicate time and effort researching, discussing and implementing policies and procedures necessary to navigate through the ever changing landscape the COVID-19 pandemic has and continues to provide. As an essential business, management was tasked with remaining open, while keeping our employees safe, and providing our customers, who were still able to actively provide healthcare services, with the products they need.
Updating the effects of COVID-19 on our business, currently the effects of the
pandemic on our business were most severely seen in
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Other forms of advertising used by the Company include professional journal advertisements, distributor catalogs, website and mailing campaigns. These forms of advertising are expensed when incurred.
Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are recognized for the expected tax consequences in future
years for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their
financial reporting amounts, based upon enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates
applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect
taxable income. The Company accounts for income taxes under Topic 740 - Income
Tax in the Accounting Standards Codification. A valuation allowance is used to
reduce deferred tax assets to the net amount expected to be recovered in future
periods. The estimates for deferred tax assets and the corresponding valuation
allowance require us to exercise complex judgments. We periodically review and
adjust those estimates based upon the most current information available. The
Company had a valuation allowance of
