  (A)

On April 17, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of $1,218,000 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. The loans and accrued interest are forgivable after the earlier of (i) 24 weeks after the loan disbursement date and (ii) December 31, 2020 as long as the borrower uses the loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll, benefits, rent and utilities, and maintains its payroll levels.

 

The unforgiven portion of the PPP loan is payable over two years at an interest rate of 1%, with a deferral of payments for the first six months. The Company intends to use the proceeds for purposes consistent with the PPP. While the Company currently believes that its use of the loan proceeds will meet the conditions for forgiveness of the loan, we cannot assure you that we will not take actions that could cause the Company to be ineligible for forgiveness of the loan, in whole or in part. As for the potential loan forgiveness, once the PPP loan is, in part or wholly, forgiven and a legal release is received, the liability would be reduced by the amount forgiven and a gain on extinguishment would be recorded. The terms of the PPP loan provide for customary events of default including, among other things, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, and insolvency events. The Company was in compliance with the terms of the PPP loan as of December 31, 2020.

 

On January 4, 2020 the entire note and accrued interest was forgiven and will be accounted as a gain in fiscal 2021.

     
  (B)

On May 15, 2020, the Company executed an unsecured loan with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the amount of $150,000. The loan is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and payable over 30 years at an interest rate of 3.75% per annum. Installment payments, including principal and interest, will begin on May 15, 2021.

 

As part of the loan, the Company also received an advance of $10,000 from the SBA. While the SBA refers to this program as an advance, it was written into law as a grant. This means that the amount given through this program does not need to be repaid. As a result, the Company accounted this $10,000 as part of “Other Income” in the accompanying Statement of Operations.

     
  (C) As a result of the acquisition of Solofire in September 2020, the Company assumed Solofire’s PPP loan of $90,000 it obtained in May 2020 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) (see discussion “a”). The Company is currently in the process of applying for the forgiveness of the PPP loan.
     
  (D) On September 4, 2020, Verb Acquisition issued a note payable to the owners of SoloFire, in the amount of $1,885,000, as adjusted, as part of the consideration related to the acquisition of SoloFire. The note bears interest at a rate of 0.14% per annum, and was paid in full on October 1, 2020.
