The Company recognizes revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. The majority of the Company’sCompany's revenues are recognized over time as the customer receives control as the Company performs work under a contract. However, a portion of the Company’sCompany's revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time per the terms of a contract.

O. Subsequent Events
On November 5, 2021, the Company experienced a criminal network cyber attack that led to a disruption of its domestic operations, including manufacturing, engineering, administration, and sales operations. As of November 15, 2021 the Company had substantially restored its operations. The Company engaged third party experts, including a cybersecurity firm, to perform a fulsome forensic investigation of the attack; among other things, the cybersecurity firm assessed whether any confidential or sensitive data had been compromised. Based on the results of the investigation to date, the Company does not believe any confidential or sensitive data has been downloaded, stolen from the Company's systems, or otherwise exfiltrated. The Company will continue to evaluate the incident and determine the appropriate actions to take, if any, in light of what is discovered. The investigation is on-going. The Company has insurance coverage against recovery costs and business interruption resulting from cyber-attacks. However, the Company may have incurred, and may incur in the future, expenses and losses related to this attack that are not covered by insurance. The total amount of such expenses or losses cannot be estimated at this time; however, it is likely that the costs related to this event will exhaust the Company's existing insurance coverage related to cyber attacks. While the Company will seek to obtain insurance for losses related to any similar future events, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be available to the Company.

Any future developmentdevelopments and effects will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, includingincluding: the scope and duration of the pandemic; further adverse revenue and net income effects; disruptions to our operations; closure of project sites; ability of suppliers to support our operations; the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements; employee impacts from illness, school closures and other community response measures; and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

As previously discussed (See
Note O, Subsequent Events), on November 5, 2021, the Company experienced a criminal network cyber attack that led to a disruption of its domestic operations, including manufacturing, engineering, administration, and sales operations. As of November 15, 2021, the Company had substantially restored its operations. While the Company has insurance coverage against recovery costs and business interruption resulting from cyber-attacks, the Company may have incurred, and may incur in the future, expenses and losses related to this attack that are not covered by insurance. The total amount of such expenses or losses cannot be estimated at this time; however, it is likely that the costs related to this event will exhaust the Company's existing insurance coverage related to cyber attacks. While the Company will seek to obtain insurance for losses related to any similar future events, there can be no assurance that such insurance will be available to the Company.
In addition, the Company’sCompany's ability to predict future demand for its products continues to be limited given its role as subcontractor or supplier to dealers for subcontractors. Demand for the Company’sCompany's products is also dependent upon the number of laboratory construction projects planned and/or current progress in projects already under construction. The Company’sCompany's earnings are also impacted by fluctuations in prevailing pricing for projects in the laboratory construction marketplace and increased costs of raw materials, including stainless steel, wood, and epoxy resin, and whether the Company is able to increase product prices to customers in amounts that correspond to such increases without materially and adversely affecting sales. Additionally, since prices are normally quoted on a firm basis in the industry, the Company bears the burden of possible increases in labor and material costs between the quotation of an order and delivery of a product.
Looking forward, the Company is optimistic about our opportunities for growth within our existing end-marketsend-markets. As the economy continues to re-open, the Company anticipates that project awards will accelerate and we are committedthe pace of construction will increase. The Company has been focused on restoring and expanding manufacturing capacity that had been previously reduced due to investingCOVID-19. The Company has also been implementing surcharges on new orders with the goal of aligning revenue to offset the broad based price increases for materials including steel, aluminum, hard woods, and resin products that has impacted the Company's financial performance for the first half of the fiscal year. The Company expects improved financial performance in the second half of this fiscal year and modernizing, our capabilities to succeed.into fiscal year 2023.
