NOTE 18. EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDITS

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded refunds as a result of Employee Retention Credits (ERC), which are refundable tax credits against certain employment taxes initially made available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES” Act). In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy, the ERC payments have been recognized as Other Income as the Company determined that all relevant criteria for recognition had been met. The ERC represents a one-time benefit and does not constitute recurring operational revenue.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $534,912 in employee retention credits and $81,887 related interest within other income and interest income, respectively, in our consolidated statement of operations. This consists of refund claims filed on amended Forms 941-X for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, and the first two quarters of 2021. As of March 31, 2025, we accrued for $394,581 and $60,429 in employee retention credits and related interest, respectively, which were received in April 2025. The total of $455,010 was recorded as Other Receivables on our condensed consolidated balance sheet (See Note 19).
