Under the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the subsequent extension of the CARES Act, the Company was eligible for a refundable employee retention credit subject to certain criteria. Since there are no generally accepted accounting principles 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. The Company 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 will be received.

The Company recognized a $650 employee retention credit as other income on its consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. In January 2025, the Company received $365 for the remaining employee retention credit balance including the $323 applied to an employee retention credit receivable and $42 of interest earned.
