While the assessments resulted in no material impacts to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended June 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020, the Company believes the full impact of the pandemic remains uncertain and will continue to assess if ongoing developments related to the pandemic may cause future material impacts to its consolidated financial statements.</span></div>
