Douglas Reynolds, President, commented on the announcement. “The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant effect on the three months ended June 30, 2020. However, many of our customers have continued with projects and we are receiving new bid opportunities. Also, our employee count at June 30, 2020 was higher compared to March 31, 2020.” Reynolds continued, “While we are seeing positive signs, we could see a significant impact in the fourth quarter of fiscal year if there is a worsening of the pandemic.”
