Note 17 – Paycheck Protection Plan loans and Economic Injury Disaster Loans

Paycheck protection plan loans

In 2020, the Company and WCI each received loans in the amount of $76,500 and $383,342, respectively, from the Bank of Southern California and the Republic Bank of Arizona (collectively, the “PPP Loans”). The PPP Loans were forgiven in November 2020, except for $10,000 of WCI’s loan that was not eligible for forgiveness at the time due to receipt of a $10,000 Economic Injury Disaster Loan Advance (“EIDL Advance”). However, on December 27, 2020, Section 1110(e)(6) of the CARES Act was repealed by Section 333 of the Economic Aid Act. As a result, the SBA automatically remitted a reconciliation payment to WCI’s PPP lender, the Republic Bank of Arizona, for the previously deducted EIDL Advance amount, plus interest through the remittance date. On March 16, 2021, The Republic Bank of Arizona notified WCI of receipt of the reconciliation payment and full forgiveness of the EIDL Advance. The $10,000 forgiveness is reflected as other income in the year ended December 31, 2021, in the condensed consolidated income statements.

On February 17, 2021, Mentor received a second PPP Loan in the amount of $76,593 (“Second PPP Loan”) pursuant to Division N, Title III, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “Economic Aid Act”) as further set forth at Section 311 et. seq. of the Economic Aid Act. The Second PPP Loan was forgiven effective October 26, 2021.

The Company records PPP Loans as a liability in accordance with FASB ASC 470, “Debt” and records accrued interest through the effective date of forgiveness on the PPP Loans. Total gain on extinguishment of the PPP Loans and accrued interest is reported in other income and expense in the consolidated income statement.
