PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

NOTE 18 – PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the PPP was established under the CARES Act and administered by the SBA. Companies who met the eligibility requirements set forth by the PPP could qualify for PPP loans. If the loan proceeds are fully utilized to pay qualified expenses, the full principal amount of the PPP loan, along with any accrued interest, may qualify for loan forgiveness, subject to potential reduction based on the level of full-time employees maintained by the organization.

 

In April 2020, the Company received a loan of $1,958,600 under the PPP provided by CIBC. The loan bears interest at 1.0%, with principal and interest payments deferred for the first six months of the loan.  After that, the loan and interest would be paid back over a period of 18 months, if the loan is not forgiven under the terms of the PPP.  

 

When it applied for the loan, the Company believed it would qualify to have the loan forgiven under the terms of PPP, and therefore considered the loan to be substantively a conditional government grant.  The Company has performed initial calculations for PPP loan forgiveness, and expects that the PPP loan will be forgiven in full because 1) the Company has, prior to June 30, 2020, utilized all of the proceeds for payroll and other qualified expenses and 2) the Company believes it will continue to comply with other terms and conditions necessary for forgiveness.

 

As such, the Company has decided that the PPP loan should be accounted for as a government grant.  As US GAAP does not contain guidance on the accounting for government grants, the Company is following the guidance in International Accounting Standards, or IAS, 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Under the provisions of IAS 20, “a forgivable loan from government is treated as a government grant when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will meet the terms for forgiveness of the loan.” As discussed above, the Company believes there is reasonable assurance it will meet the terms of forgiveness.  Under IAS 20, government grants are recognized in income as required activities are undertaken.  As the Company believes that it completed the required activities by utilizing PPP proceeds for payroll and other qualified expenditures prior to June 30, 2020, it has recognized PPP grant income for the full amount of the PPP loan, $1,958,600, and no liability for the PPP loan is reflected in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020.  

 

The Company plans to submit the PPP loan forgiveness application in the near term.  Although the Company believes it is probable that the PPP loan will be forgiven, the Company’s actions and information must be evaluated by the lender and SBA before forgiveness is formally granted.
