The Company noted that while the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic has created additional risk and uncertainty around future plans and activities, the event has had limited disruption to most of the Company’s ongoing operations as of the current date. The Company did note the simulation products business has experienced potential procurement and delivery delays due to travel restrictions and general market uncertainty.

Revenues decreased in the fourth quarter by $0.6 million compared to the same period last year due to lower revenues in the Training and Simulation business unit of $0.7 million and higher revenues of $0.1 million in the Learning Networks business unit. Expenses, net of government assistance and other funding for the quarter were down $1.3 million from that of the same quarter in the previous year.
