According to the Americares consolidated audit of June 30, 2021 (Note 9, Loan Payable, Line of Credit and Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP') Loan) [$s in thousands, as noted]: "In fiscal year 2020, the Department of Treasury implemented the Small Business Administration's ('SBA') Paycheck Protection Program ('PPP'), which provides potentially forgivable loans to nonprofits with 500 or fewer employees and meeting certain other eligibility requirements. The SBA will forgive loans if employees are maintained on the payroll for 8 to 24 weeks after the loan originates and the loan proceeds received are used for payroll, rent, mortgage, interest or utilities. In April 2020, the [Americares] Foundation and the [Americares Free] Clinics applied for PPP loans and approval was granted. The Foundation received loan proceeds of $3,642 [thousand] and the Clinics received loan proceeds of $415 [thousand] in May 2020. The Foundation opted to account for PPP loan monies received as a refundable advance until the conditions for recognition as revenue have been satisfied. In May 2021, the Clinics received notice of forgiveness from the SBA and the $415 [thousand] forgiveness of debt is included in contributions and private grants, without donor restrictions, in the accompanying [audited] consolidated statement of activities. The Foundation balance is included in deferred revenue on the accompanying [audited] consolidated statement of financial position as of June 30, 2021.
