“believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “may,” “could” and similar expressions, which forward-looking statements reflect management’s best judgment based on factors currently known. however, these statements involve risks and uncertainties, including: (i) risks and uncertainties related to the continued impact of the sars-cov-2 coronavirus/covid-19 global pandemic (or variants of the sars-cov-2 coronavirus, including the delta variant), including the severity and duration of the pandemic and the delivery, acceptance and effectiveness of vaccines, which could lead to a decrease in demand for the company’s products and services, and which has disrupted, and could lead to further disruptions in, the company’s supply chain, adversely impacting the operations and financial condition of the company and its customers; actions that have been taken and that may be taken by the company, its customers, suppliers and counterparties in response to the pandemic, including the implementation of alternative work arrangements for employees, which may delay the timing of some orders and expected deliveries and which may impact the company’s ability to mitigate inefficiencies, delays and additional costs in the company’s product development, sales, marketing and customer service efforts; the legal, regulatory and administrative developments that have occurred and may continue to occur at the federal, state and local levels and in foreign jurisdictions in response to the pandemic, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and business limitations and shutdowns; potential disruptions, breaches, or other incidents affecting the proper operation, availability or security of the company’s or its partners’ information systems; potential declines in revenues due to declining customer demand and deteriorating macroeconomic conditions; increased expenses related to labor, raw materials, freight or other expenditures; the impact of the covid-19 pandemic on the company’s liquidity, as well as risks associated with disruptions in the financial markets and the business of financial institutions as a result of the covid-19 pandemic which could impact the company from a financial perspective; the pace of recovery in our markets when the covid-19 pandemic subsides, which could affect demand for our products; and (ii) the other risks detailed in the company’s annual report on form 10-k for the year ended december 31, 2020 and the company’s quarterly report on form 10-q for the quarter ended march 31, 2021. these risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements included in this press release. to provide additional transparency, we have disclosed in the table below non-gaap operating income (loss), which has been reconciled to operating income (loss), and non-gaap net income (loss) and non-gaap earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, which have been reconciled to net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, in each case as reported based on generally accepted accounting principles in the united states (“u.s. gaap”). these non-gaap financial measures exclude certain items which management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operating performance of the business. we believe this information is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of our ongoing operations. additionally, these measures are used by management in our ongoing planning and annual budgeting processes. the presentation of non-gaap operating income (loss), non-gaap net income (loss) and non-gaap earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, when combined with the u.s. gaap presentation of operating income (loss), net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, is beneficial to the overall understanding of ongoing operating performance of the company. these non-gaap financial measures are not prepared in accordance with, or an alternative for, u.s. gaap and therefore should not be considered in isolation or as a substitution for analysis of our results as reported under u.s. gaap. additionally, our calculation of non-gaap operating income (loss), non-gaap net income (loss) and non-gaap earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted, may not be comparable to similar measures calculated by other companies. condensed consolidated balance sheets (unaudited) (in thousands) june 30, december 31, 2021 2020 assets current assets
