According to the Trout Unlimited (TU) audit of March 31, 2020 (Note 12, Subsequent Events): "In preparing these [audited] financial statements, TU has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through October 30, 2020, the date the financial statements were issued. "On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a global pandemic. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen which may negatively impact TU's operations. The overall potential impact is unknown at this time. "On April 21, 2020, TU entered into a two-year promissory note agreement in the amount of $3,337,300 with a 1% fixed interest rate under the Paycheck Protection Program. The promissory note calls for monthly principal and interest payments amortized over the term of the promissory note, unless otherwise forgiven. Under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act), the promissory note may be forgiven by the Small Business Administration in whole or in part." |
According to the Trout Unlimited (TU) audit of March 31, 2020 (Note 1 re: Risks and uncertainties): "TU invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rates, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the accompanying [audited] financial statements." |
