NOTE 9    LOAN PAYABLE

On April 27, 2020, the Company received $155,226 of cash proceeds pursuant to an unsecured loan (the "PPP" Loan) provided in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act and applicable regulations ("CARES Act").

Under the terms of the CARES Act, as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020, the Company is eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP, including, but not limited to, payroll costs (as defined under the PPP) and mortgage interest, rent or utility costs (collectively, "Qualifying Expenses") incurred during the 24 weeks subsequent to funding, and on the maintenance of employee and compensation levels, as defined, following the funding of the PPP Loan. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the PPP Loan for Qualifying Expenses. However, no assurance is provided that KULR will be able to obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part. Any amounts not forgiven incur interest at 1.0% per annum and monthly repayments of principal and interest are deferred until the Small Business Administration decides on forgiveness. While the Company's PPP Loan currently has a two-year maturity, the amended law will permit the Company to request a five-year maturity, subject to the approval of the counterparty. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized interest expense of $387 and $659 respectively in connection with the PPP Loan. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company's accrued interest related to the PPP Loan was $659 and $0, respectively.
