COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy began to take effect and adversely affected the Company’s operations at the end of the third quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2020. At that time, the Company took appropriate action and put plans in place to diminish the adverse effects of COVID-19 on its operations, enabling the Company to continue to operate with minor or temporary disruptions to its operations. The Company took immediate action pertaining to COVID-19 preparedness by implementing the US Center for Disease Control’s guidelines for employers in order to protect the Company’s employees’ health and safety, with actions such as implementing work from home, social distancing in the workplace, requiring self-quarantine for any employee showing symptoms, wearing face coverings, and training employees on maintaining a healthy work environment. The Company experienced supply chain disruptions which had an impact on its operations causing delayed delivery of some products to its customers, and production inefficiencies. SBI’s facility was shut down temporarily due to state mandates, however, the impact on operations was minimal, and the Company was able to retain its employees without furloughs or layoffs, in part, due to the Company’s receipt of two loans under the Federal Government’s Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”).

 

The Company received $563,800 and $433,800 in PPP loans in April 2020 and March 2021, respectively. The first loan was forgiven in June 2021 except for $32,700 which was repaid by the Company and the second loan was forgiven in full in December 2021. The Company elected to account for its PPP Loans in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), Topic 470 Debt, with interest, if any, accrued in accordance with the interest method under ASC 835-30, Imputation of Interest. Initially, the Company recognized the entire loan amounts as liabilities on its balance sheets and remained as liabilities until either the Company was legally released from its obligations or paid the lender. Once the loans were forgiven, the amounts forgiven were recorded in the Company’s statement of operations as “Other Income.”

 

Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2019-12, “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes”, which is designed to simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. ASU No. 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this standard as of July 1, 2021 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and is evaluating any that may impact its financial statements.  The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
