Cares Act – Paycheck Protection Program (PPP Note)

 

On May 01, 2020, the Company received proceeds of Fifty-Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two ($50,632) from the Promissory Note (“PPP Note”) under the Paycheck Protection Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”). The funding of the PPP Note is conditioned upon approval of the Company’s application by the Small Business Administration (SBA) and Bank of America (“Bank”) and receiving confirmation from the SBA that the Bank may proceed with the PPP Note. Suppose the SBA does not confirm the PPP Note’s forgiveness, or only partly confirms forgiveness of the PPP Note, or the Company fails to apply for PPP Note forgiveness. In that case, the Company will be obligated to repay the Bank the total outstanding balance remaining due under the PPP Note, including principal and interest (the “PPP Note Balance”). In such case, Bank will establish the terms for repayment of the PPP Note Balance in a separate letter to be provided to the Company, which letter will set forth the PPP Note Balance, the amount of each monthly payment, the interest rate (not above a fixed rate of one percent (1.00%) per annum), the term of the PPP Note, and the maturity date of two (2) years from the funding date of the PPP Note. No principal or interest payments will be due before the Deferment Period, which is ten months from the end of the covered period. The PPP Note was not forgiven. The Company started paying off the PPP Note in August 2022. The outstanding balance of the PPP loan, including accrued interest at 1.00%, is approximately $2,389 as of March 31, 2025.

 

SBA Loan

 

On May 22, 2020, the Company received $144,900. The installment payments will include both principal and interest of $707 per month and begin twelve (12) months from the date of the promissory note. The principal and interest balance will be payable thirty (30) years from the date of the promissory note. Interest will accrue at 3.75% per annum and only on funds advanced from May 22, 2020, the advance date, in the amount of $144,900. The outstanding balance of the SBA loan, including accrued interest, is $112,057 as of March 31, 2025.

 

AJB Note

 

On January 27, 2022, the Company signed a promissory note (‘AJB Note’) with AJB Capital Investments, LLC (‘AJB Capital’), a Delaware limited liability company, for the principal amount of $550,000 with a maturity date of July 27, 2022, and a coupon of 10%. As part of the AJB Note, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement, where AJB Capital will receive equity equal to US $155,000 of the Company’s common stock. The Company issued 2,214,286 common stock valued at $71,521 upon issuance of the Note (the “Shares”) and 1,000,000 3-year cash warrants (‘Warrants’) priced at $0.30. The Warrants and the Shares, collectively known as the ‘Incentive Fee,’ are issued upon execution of the agreement. The Company paid off the loan in February 2023.

 

On December 27, 2023, the Company redeemed the Warrants on the following terms:

 

  i) The Company shall pay $100,000 to the Purchaser concurrently with its execution and delivery of this letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”);

 

  ii) The Company shall pay $100,000 to the Purchaser on or before January 26, 2024 (the “Second Repayment”); and

 

the Company issued to the Purchaser 5,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Shares”) on December 27, 2023 (the “Share Issuance”).

 

Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL)

 

The Small Business Administration offers the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program. The CARES Act modified the program to offer an emergency grant of up to $10,000 per business, which is forgivable, similar to the PPP Loan. The Company doesn’t have to repay the grant. On May 14, 2020, the Company received $4,000 in EIDL grants. The Company has recorded it as other income since the EIDL grant is forgivable.
