Loan 5) Entities negatively impacted by the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic were eligible to apply for loans sponsored by the United States Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Economic Injury Disaster Loan (“EIDL Loan”) program. On July 15, 2020, the Company received cash proceeds of $40,400 under this program. In addition, in July 2020, the Company received $6,000 from the SBA as a COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (the “EIDL Advance”). The proceeds can be used to fund payroll, healthcare benefits, rent and other qualifying expenses, and the loan is not subject to a loan forgiveness provision. The standard EIDL Loan repayment terms include interest accruing at 3.75% per annum effective July 15, 2020; the payment schedule contains a one-year deferral period on initial principal and interest payments; the loan term is thirty years; and there is no prepayment penalty or fees. The Company pledged all assets of the Company as collateral for the loan. As of December 31, 2021, the amounts outstanding totaled $40,400, and was classified as part of notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, the Company entered into a security agreement with the SBA in which this promissory note is collateralized by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. In addition, the Company’s CEO, Edward Aizman, provided his personal guaranty of the EIDL Loan and pledged certain of his personal assets in conjunction with his guaranty. On January 6, 2021, the SBA announced a one-year extension of the deferral period for loans that commenced in 2020 delaying payments of principal and interest to July 2022. Pursuant to an SBA Procedural Notice in December 2020, the EIDL Advance was forgiven. The Company has recognized the entire EIDL Advance amount of $6,000 as grant income, which is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In February 2022, the Company agreed to the first and second modifications of the EIDL Loan. The EIDL was modified to include additional borrowings of $269,200, which were received in full in February 2022. Periodic monthly payments have increased to $1,556 in the first modification, and reduced to $1,506 in the second modification. Additionally, the Company entered into an amended security agreement with the SBA in which this promissory note, and the modifications, is collateralized by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company. The balance of the EIDL loan balance at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is $193,202 and $309,500, respectively. The Company is in default under the EIDL Loan and the EIDL Loan has been referred by the SBA to the U.S. Treasury Offset Program. The Company is currently in the process of addressing the charged-off status of the EIDL Loan with the SBA and simultaneously submitting an application to the SBA’s Hardship Accommodation Program (“HAP”), whereby the Company hopes to receive some relief while arranging for, and keeping current, reduced payments thereon.
