9. NOTES PAYABLE

On April 19, 2019, the Company entered into an unsecured Promissory Note Payable with Charles O’Banon (“O’Banon”), a customer, in the amount of $32,205. The note is in settlement of tax penalties and interest he incurred, that were proximately caused by the Company’s actions. The monthly principal and interest payments are $623, with a balloon payment of $14,048 in April 2022. The note is being repaid over 36 months and bears an interest rate of 6%. The Company has instituted abatement efforts on O’Banon’s behalf, with the taxing authority, however the abatement was denied. The outstanding balance on December 31, 2020 and 2019, was $23,534 and $29,401 respectively.

On August 31, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with John DuPriest (DuPriest), a former officer of Forta, in settlement pursuant to employment termination. The parties entered into an unsecured promissory note to DuPriest in the amount of $52,000.00, bearing interest of 5%, payable over 26 months beginning with January 15, 2021 through February 15, 2023.

On May 8, 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan in the amount of $283,345. Additionally, on May 15, 2020, Forta received a PPP loan in the amount of $377,700. PPP loans bear a fixed interest rate of 1% over a two-year term, are guaranteed by the federal government, and do not require collateral.

The loans may be forgiven, in part or whole, if the proceeds are used to retain and pay employees and for other qualifying expenditures. The Company expects that the full proceeds of the PPP loans will be eligible for forgiveness, which would result in an increase in capital of $661,045. Forta submitted its forgiveness application to the SBA in December of 2020, and Company is awaiting the SBA’s follow-up on its application for forgiveness.
