NOTE 10 — PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM AND EMPLOYMENT SUPPORT SCHEME

In April and May of 2020, the Company applied for and received aggregate loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $204,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (”PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. Under the CARES Act, loan forgiveness is available as long as the Company used the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintained its payroll levels during the eight-week period beginning on the date of the PPP loan approval.  

The Company used all of the PPP loan proceeds for qualifying expenses in accordance with terms of the CARES Act and intends to apply for forgiveness of the loan to the extent applicable, although there can be no assurance that such forgiveness will occur. Any unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s PPP loan has accrued approximately $1,350 in unpaid interest.

The Hong Kong government implemented a similar program called the Employment Support Scheme (“ESS”). It provided grants to companies who retained their employees during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Company’s Hong Kong subsidiary applied for and was granted approximately $28,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2020 and $83,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2020. The ESS subsidy is presented as other income in the consolidated statements of operations.
