NOTE 6 — DEBT

As of December 31, 2021, the Company had no debt outstanding.

On April 15, 2020, the Company entered into a loan agreement in the amount of $1,302,000 with Liberty Capital Bank (“Lender”) pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP Loan”) of the CARES Act, which is administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”). The loan had a maturity of two years and bore an interest rate of 1.0% per annum. In the second quarter of 2021, the SBA approved the Company’s PPP Loan forgiveness application and paid to the Lender the full amount of the PPP Loan and accrued interest thereon on the Company’s behalf, releasing AudioEye from any obligations. In connection with the full forgiveness of the outstanding principal and interest on our PPP Loan, we recorded a $1,316,000 gain on loan forgiveness in the twelve months ended December 31, 2021.
