Incorporated (“Winco”), Bexil Corporation (“Bexil”), Tuxis Corporation (“Tuxis”), and their affiliates (collectively with the Company, the “Affiliates”).

Pursuant to an arrangement between a professional employer organization (“PEO”) and the Affiliates, the PEO provides payroll, benefits, compliance, and related services for employees of the Affiliates in accordance with applicable rules and regulations under the IRC and, in connection therewith, Midas Management Corporation (“MMC”), a subsidiary of Winco, acts as a conduit payer of compensation and benefits to the Affiliates’ employees including those who are concurrently employed by the Company and its Affiliates. The aggregate compensation and benefits accrued and paid by the Company to MMC for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $2,258,024 and $2,239,483, respectively. Rent expense of concurrently used office space and overhead expenses for various concurrently used administrative and support functions incurred by the Affiliates are allocated at cost among them. The Affiliates participate in a 401(k) retirement savings plan for substantially all qualified employees. A matching expense based upon a percentage of contributions to the plan by eligible employees is incurred and allocated among the Affiliates. The matching expense is accrued and funded on a current basis and may not exceed the amount permitted as a deductible expense under the IRC. The aggregate rent and overhead accrued and paid by the Company to Winco for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $58,584 and $73,823, respectively. The Company had reimbursements payable to MMC and Winco for compensation and benefits and rent and overhead of $33,981 and $18,906 as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company currently reimburses monthly automobile expenses of $1,000 per month to its President, Mark C. Winmill. To the extent that the monthly payment under the Company’s automobile lease exceeds the current monthly reimbursement amount, Mr. Winmill voluntarily reimburses the Company for the excess amount. In this regard, Mr. Winmill has reimbursed the Company $2,248 and $2,254 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company leases office space and storage to certain Affiliates under rental agreements. The terms of occupancy are month to month and automatically renew unless terminated by either party on ten days’ written notice. The Company earned rental income of $13,369 and $9,204 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On May 19, 2020, MMC (the “Borrower”) entered into a Paycheck Protection Program Term Note (“PPP Note”) with Customers Bank on behalf of itself and the Affiliates under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “Program”) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the “SBA”). The Borrower received total proceeds of $486,602. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Affiliates used the proceeds from the PPP Note primarily for payroll and other eligible costs. Interest accrues on the PPP Note at the rate per annum of 1.00%. In March 2021, the Borrower applied to Customers Bank for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP Note in an amount equal to the sum of payroll and other eligible costs incurred during the Covered Period, as defined therein. On October 8, 2021, the Borrower’s application was denied. On November 4, 2021, the Borrower filed an appeal petition with the SBA’s Office of Hearings and Appeals (“OHA”) in response to the denial of the Borrower’s application for forgiveness of the amount due on the PPP Note. The Borrower's timely filing of an appeal within the 30 calendar day period after receipt of the SBA’s decision extended the loan deferment period. On January 25, 2022, OHA dismissed the appeal without prejudice and remanded the PPP Note forgiveness application back to the SBA for further loan review. The loan deferment period has been extended while the forgiveness application is pending. No assurance can be provided that the review will be successful or that PPP Note will be forgiven in whole or in part. If the PPP Note is not forgiven, in part or wholly, the Company expects to repay interest proportionate to its share of the PPP Note. If the PPP Note is in part or wholly, forgiven and legal release is received, the Company expects to record a gain in an amount proportionate to its share of forgiven payroll costs and other eligible expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2021, there was no material impact to the Company’s operations or cash flows due to the PPP Note and there were no transfers of principal between the Company and MMC for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
