NOTE 8 – PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM LOAN

On May 5, 2020 the Company entered into a promissory note (“PPP Loan”) in the amount of $223,075 from Bank of America, N.A. under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), which was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration. The term of the promissory note is two years and the annual interest rate is 1.0%, which shall be deferred for the first six months of the term of the loan. Pursuant to the terms of the CARES Act, the proceeds of each PPP Loan may be used for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs.

The promissory note evidencing each PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, or provisions of the promissory note. The occurrence of an event of default may result in a claim for the immediate repayment of all amounts outstanding under such PPP Loan, collection of all amounts owing from the respective Borrower, filing suit and obtaining judgment against the respective Borrower.

Under the terms of the CARES Act, each Borrower can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of the PPP Loan. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds in accordance with the terms of the CARES Act, as described above, during the 8-week period after loan origination and the maintenance or achievement of certain employee levels. No assurance is provided that any Borrower will obtain forgiveness under any relevant PPP Loan in whole or in part.

On March 1, 2021, the Company applied for and was granted full forgiveness of the PPP Loan it entered into on May 5, 2020 in the amount of $223,075.

On February 25, 2021 the Company entered into a second promissory note (“Second PPP Loan”) in the amount of $264,472 from Bank of America, N.A. under the Paycheck Protection Program. The terms of the Second PPP Loan are similar to the PPP Loan the Company entered into on May 5, 2020. On October 22, 2021, the Company was granted full forgiveness of the Second PPP Loan., resulting in a total gain of $487,547 included in other income of the Company’s Results of Operations for 2021.
