SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Credit Risk—Represents the unguaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program which were retained by the Company and the government guaranteed portions of such loans that have not yet been fully funded or sold.

SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Loan-Backed Notes—Represents the unguaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program which were transferred to a trust and are held as collateral in connection with a securitization transaction. The proceeds received from the transfer are reflected as loan-backed notes payable (Note 6). These loans are subject to credit risk.

SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Paycheck Protection Program—Enacted in March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) implemented the Paycheck Protection Program, a new SBA 7(a) loan program that provides small businesses with uncollateralized and unguaranteed loans at an interest rate of 1.00%. The loans will be fully forgiven, subject to certain limitations, when used by the borrower for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities. For those loans that are forgiven, the SBA will remit 100% of the remaining outstanding principal plus accrued interest to us. For those loans whose borrowers do not meet the criteria required for forgiveness, repayment obligations commence after the applicable deferment period in equal installments over the remaining term to maturity. A substantial portion of the loans that we originated under the Paycheck Protection Program have a two-year term and originally had a deferment period of six months; however, as a result of amendments to the Paycheck Protection Program, these loans now are deferred for up to 16 months. All loans approved by the SBA after June 5, 2020 have a five-year term and deferment period of 16 months. The loans are fully guaranteed by the SBA provided that originating lenders follow the requirements set forth in the Paycheck Protection Program. Accordingly, there is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal and interest. Neither the government nor lenders charged borrowers any fees in connection with the Paycheck Protection Program loans; however, the SBA paid lenders a fee upon funding loans under the Paycheck Protection Program.

As a SBA 7(a) licensee, we are an authorized lender under the Paycheck Protection Program and have originated $16,016,000 of loans under the program as of September 30, 2020. We expect a significant portion of these loans will be forgiven and repaid, either in part or in full, by the SBA, including both principal and accrued interest.

SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Subject to Secured Borrowings—Represents the government guaranteed portions of loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program which were sold with the proceeds received from the sale reflected as secured borrowings—government guaranteed loans. There is no credit risk associated with these loans since the SBA has guaranteed payment of the principal.

SBA 7(a) Loans Receivable, Held for Sale— Represents the government guaranteed portion of loans held for sale at the end of the period or that had been sold but in respect of which proceeds had not been received as of the end of the period.

Enacted in March 2020, Section 1112 of the CARES Act (“Section 1112”) provided for subsidy loan payments on all loans originated under the SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program in ‘regular’ servicing, which subsidies were not required to be repaid by the borrowers. The subsidy payments were paid by the SBA and reflected the initial six months of payments, including scheduled principal and interest payments, for any new loan originated from the implementation of the CARES Act through September 27, 2020. The overwhelming majority of borrowers under our SBA 7(a) Small Business Loan Program qualified for relief under Section 1112. The relief ended for most of our borrowers effective September 30, 2020.
