Paycheck Protection Program
The CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020. Among the provisions contained in the CARES Act was the creation of the PPP that provides for SBA loans for qualified small businesses. PPP loan proceeds are available to be used to pay for payroll costs, including salaries, commissions, and similar compensation, group health care benefits, and paid leaves; rent; utilities; and interest on certain other outstanding debt. On May 18, 2020, the Lender funded the PPP Loan to the Company in the amount of $366,000. In accordance with the loan forgiveness requirements of the CARES Act, the Company used the proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs, rent and utilities. On February 23, 2021, the Lender notified the Company that the entire PPP Loan amount of $366,000 had been forgiven. See Note 2.
