NOTE 7 - CARES ACT

On April 20, 2020, the Company received a PPP loan in the amount of $2,929,000, as provided pursuant to the CARES Act and administered by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The PPP loan, which was unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA, was designed to create economic stimulus by providing additional operating capital to small businesses in the U.S., such as P&F. To facilitate the PPP loan, the Company entered into a Promissory Note dated April 17, 2020, with BNB Bank as the lender (the “Lender”).

Under the terms of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), as amended by the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act of 2020 (the “Flexibility Act”), the Company was eligible to apply for and receive forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP loan. Such forgiveness was determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of the loan proceeds for certain permissible purposes as set forth in the PPP loan, 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 compensation levels, as defined, following the funding of the PPP loan. In February 2021, in accordance with the Flexibility Act, the Company filed an application for forgiveness with the Lender, who approved this submission and subsequently submitted the Company’s application to the SBA.  On June 9, 2021, the Company was advised that the SBA had approved the Company’s PPP loan forgiveness application and as such, the PPP loan and interest were forgiven in their entirety and recorded as Other income on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

The CARES Act provides an employee retention credit (“ERC”) that is a refundable tax credit against certain employer taxes. On December 27, 2020, Congress enacted the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020, (“Tax Relief Act”), which amended and extended ERC availability under Section 2301 of the CARES Act. Before the enactment of the Tax Relief Act, businesses who were provided SBA PPP Loans under the CARES Act were ineligible for the ERC. Following enactment of the Tax Relief Act, such businesses became retroactively eligible for the ERC.

Under the CARES Act, a company needed a more than 50% decline in gross receipts in 2020, compared to the same quarter in 2019, in order to use the gross receipts test to be eligible for the ERC. The Company determined it did not qualify for the ERC for 2020 as it did not satisfy the gross receipts test for any quarter in 2020.

The Tax Relief Act provided for changes in the ERC for 2020 and provided an additional credit for all quarters of 2021. The Tax Relief Act revised the gross receipts test, using two scenarios to qualify: 1) a company that has had a more than 20% decline in gross receipts in 2021, compared to the same quarter in 2019, or 2) a company can elect to use the gross receipts from the immediately preceding quarter, and compare these prior quarter gross receipts to the same quarter in 2019, rather than the current quarter.

The Company evaluated its eligibility for the ERC and determined that it met all the criteria to claim a refundable tax credit against the employer share of Social Security taxes equal to seventy percent (70%) of the qualified wages that the Company paid to employees for the three-month periods ended June 30 and September 30, 2021.  The Company adopted ASU 2010-10 to which Topic 832 gives guidance to account for transactions with a government by analogizing to a grant accounting model, which the Company’s policy is the International Accounting Standard 20 model. As a result, the Company recorded $2,028,000 as a receivable in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and a like amount in Other income for the ERC.
