ISNS fading. Anyone taking a shot? Dividend yield over 8% now. That big dividend doesn't look sustainable given the poor results last quarter. But maybe yesterday's news is a signal that revenues/earnings have improved significantly? ISNS will at least report a large 1-time gain with their Q1 report in a couple weeks. Over $900K from PPP loan forgiveness. From the 10K-
Under the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"), the United States Small Business Administration ("SBA") approved the Company's application to receive a loan in the amount of $923,700 (the "PPP Loan"). The PPP was established under the congressionally approved Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and is administered by the SBA. The PPP Loan to the Company was made through BMO Harris Bank N.A. (the "Lender"). On April 21, 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved the PPP Loan, and the Company signed the promissory note (the "Note") evidencing the PPP Loan, which is dated as of April 17, 2020. The Lender distributed the $923,700 of proceeds of the PPP Loan to the Company on April 22, 2020.
The term of the PPP loan was 24 months after the date of the Note (the "Maturity Date"). The annual interest rate on the PPP Loan was 1.00%. No payments of principal or interest were due during the six months beginning on the date of the Note (the "Deferred Period"). The Company's obligations under the Note were not secured by a security interest in the Company's assets. The Note required the Lender's consent if the Company wanted to reorganize, merge, consolidate, or otherwise change its ownership or structure. The Note contained customary events of default by the Company relating to, among other things, payment defaults and the breach of representations and warranties or other provisions of the Note. Upon a default by the Company under the Note, the Lender could accelerate the Company's obligations under the Note and pursue its rights against the Company under applicable law, including by filing suit and obtaining a judgment against the Company.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans made under the PPP after 24 weeks if the recipients use the PPP loan proceeds for eligible purposes, including payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs and meet other requirements regarding, among other things, the maintenance of employment and compensation levels. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not recognized any forgiveness of this PPP Loan. On February 2, 2021, the Company was notified by the Lender that the Lender had received payment in full of the PPP Loan from the United States government, and the Company's PPP Loan had been forgiven. The Company will recognize the amount of the loan forgiven as other non-operating income in the first quarter of 2021.
