Note 8 - The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan

On May 8, 2020, the Company obtained a loan in the amount of $250,832 (the “PPP loan”) from Bank of America (the “Lender”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economics Security Act (the “CARES Act”) that was signed into law in March 2020. In accordance with the PPP, the Company was permitted to use the PPP loan proceeds to fund designated expenses, including certain payroll costs, rent, utilities, and other permitted expenses. The PPP loan was evidenced by a promissory note, dated effective May 1, 2020, issued by the Company to the Lender. The PPP loan was unsecured with a 2-year term, matures on May 7, 2022, and bore interest at a rate of 1.00% per annum. The Company submitted an application with the SBA for forgiveness in January 2021. Payments under this note have been deferred by the bank until the forgiveness status of the loan is ascertained. During the first half of 2021, the Company received documentation from the Small Business Administration stating that this loan had been forgiven in full. As a result, the Company recorded a $251,000 gain on forgiveness of this loan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
