The Company applied a 2.5% discount rate to determine a fair value of $728,500 for the Aggieland Seller Note as of April 27, 2020 and the resulting $21,500 discount will be amortized as interest expense over the 14 month period until the note matures. Including the remaining unamortized discount, the recorded value of the Aggieland Seller Note as of June 28, 2020 was $731,497. As a result of the significant negative economic impacts and uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Wild Animal Georgia and Wild Animal Missouri each applied for Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans. On April 14, 2020 and April 16, 2020, the Company received two unsecured PPP loans totaling $188,087. Including accrued interest, the principal outstanding on the Companys PPP loans was $188,479 as of June 28, 2020. The PPP was established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020, and is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (the SBA). The term of the PPP loans is two years, with an interest rate of 1.0% per annum. All payments are deferred for the first six month term of the PPP loans, with accrued interest being added to the principal during the payment deferral period. After the initial six-month deferral period, monthly principal and interest payments will be due until maturity for any portion of the PPP loans not forgiven. Under the terms of the CARES Act, some or all of the PPP loan proceeds are eligible to be forgiven. The amount of the loans eligible to be forgiven are based on the use of the proceeds for payroll costs, mortgage interest, rent or utility costs, and the maintenance of employee and compensation levels, subject to limitations and ongoing rulemaking by the SBA. While not assured, the Company anticipates a substantial portion of its PPP loan proceeds will be used for costs that are eligible for forgiveness, based on the current SBA guidelines.
