As a result of the initial 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. 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 twelve months of these PPP loans, with accrued interest being added to the principal during the payment deferral period. After the initial twelve-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 PPP 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. The Company applied for forgiveness of the full amount of both the Wild Animal Georgia and Wild Animal Missouri PPP loans in March 2021. Effective March 29, 2021, the SBA approved the Forgiveness Application for Wild Animal Georgia, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt totaling $125,371 in the three months ended April 4, 2021. The Companys Forgiveness Application for the full amount of its Wild Animal Safari Missouri PPP loan remains pending as of the date of this report. Including accrued interest, the principal outstanding on the Wild Animal Missouri PPP loan was $64,526 as of April 4, 2021. The Company will continue to account for its outstanding PPP loan under their defined terms until such time as forgiveness is granted by the SBA. Interest expense of $84,207 and $17,191 for the three months ended April 4, 2021 and March 29, 2020, respectively, includes $1,978 and $560, respectively, of debt closing costs amortization in each period.
