COVID-19 Update:
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the global economy, the Company has continued to take active steps to protect the health and safety of its employees, stakeholders and business. The Company continues to employ proactive measures such as providing for work from home, eliminating travel and closely following the guidelines issued by the applicable health and regulatory authorities. Given the economic effects of COVID-19, the Company has been undertaking reductions in its expenses by reducing staffing, streamlining operations and lowering its marketing and sales expenses, resulting in lower overall operating costs for the Company. During the third quarter, the Company also experienced a reduction of demand for small business loans partially as a result of the loan and subsidy programs introduced by the Canadian Federal Government for small businesses, as well as due to uncertainty in the future of the Canadian economy as a result of the impact of COVID-19.
