As
a result of the outbreak of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its recent global expansion
to a large number of countries, it has led to the viral outbreak being classified as
a pandemic by the World Health Organization since March 11, 2020. Sanitary measures have
been taken in Mexico to limit the spread of this virus, which include among others, social
isolation and the closure of educational centers (schools and universities), commercial
establishments and non-essential businesses. There is strong uncertainty about how this
virus will evolve in Mexico, the time needed for precautionary and/or containment measures
to take effect, and the outcome it will have on the national economy; therefore the economic
impacts and consequences for the Company's operations are uncertain and will depend
to a large extent on the evolution and spread of the pandemic in the coming months, as
well as the reaction and adaptation capacity of all the economic agents impacted. |

The
Company's operations have not been interrupted as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic as its product lines include hygiene and cleaning
solutions, which qualify as an essential activity in Mexico. The supply chain has not been affected either, as the Company maintains
sufficient inventory levels to supply sales for the subsequent 13 weeks, and its foreign suppliers restarted normal activities
on March 1st of 2020. Net sales in 2020 from week one to sixteen increased with respect to the same period of the previous year.
The Company's gross margin has been negatively affected by promotions aimed at gaining market share and the appreciation
of the U.S. dollar compared to the Mexican peso's impact on inventory costs as it purchases most of its products in U.S.
dollars. In order to mitigate this risk, the Company enters into forward contracts to fix the exchange rate for future purchases
in dollars, which has allowed it to partially reduce the exchange rate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, management
is working on plans to increase the introduce products with higher profit margins and therefore reduce the negative effects that
impact its profit margin. The Company maintains sufficient liquidity to meet its contractual obligations as a result of available
sources of financing, in addition its customer's payment terms are maintained between 14 and 28 days, while its payment terms
to its suppliers are 120 days. |
