Note 11 – Employee Retention Credit

 

During 2022, the Company conducted an analysis as to whether it was entitled to employee retention credits (“ERC”) under the CARES Act as amended by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 and the American Plan Act of 2021. Based on the analysis, the Company determined that it was entitled to an ERC of approximately $1.5 million related to payroll paid in the first and third quarters of 2021 under the applicable Internal Revenue Service regulations related to ERCs.

 

As ERCs are not within the scope of ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company has chosen to account for the ERCs by analogizing to the International Standard IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. In accordance with IAS 20, an entity recognizes government grants only when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to them and the grants will be received. Accordingly, the Company recognized a non-current receivable of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2022 and other income of $1.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company received the ERC credit in July 2023.
