EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT
EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT	NOTE 10 – EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDIT Pursuant to the CARES Act, the Company is eligible for an employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. Since there is no US GAAP guidance for for-profit business entities that receive government assistance that is not in the form of a loan, an income tax credit or revenue from a contract with a customer, we determined the appropriate accounting treatment by analogy to other guidance. We accounted for the employee retention credit by analogy to International Accounting Standards (IAS) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Under an IAS 20 analogy, a business entity would recognize the employee retention credit on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant (i.e., tax credit) is intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance (i.e., it is probable) that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant (i.e., tax credit) will be received. We have accounted for the $1.7 million and $1.4 million employee retention credits in the first and third quarters of 2021, respectively, as other income on the statement of operations and as a receivable on the balance sheet. As of July 1, 2023, we have received a full refund for the third quarter and a partial refund for the first quarter employee retention credits. The remaining unpaid employee retention credit of $0.5 million is accounted for as a receivable on the balance sheet.
