Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On May 6, 2020 Puradyn Filter Technologies Incorporated (the Company) obtained an unsecured $188,542.00 loan (the PPP Loan) through Bank of America N.A. under the Paycheck Protection Program (the PPP) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) which is administered by the United States Small Business Administration. In accordance with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Company will use proceeds from the PPP Loan primarily for payroll costs.
The PPP Loan is scheduled to mature two years from the date of issuance (the Maturity Date) and has a 1% interest rate. Commencing on the date which is two years following the date of the loan and continuing on the same day of each following month, the Company must pay principal and interest payments which will fully amortize all principal and interest (including accrued interest prior to the initial payment date) by the Maturity Date. The promissory note evidencing the PPP Loan contains customary events of default relating to, among other things, payment defaults and provisions of the promissory note.
Under the terms of the CARES Act, PPP Loan recipients can apply for and be granted forgiveness for all or a portion of loans granted under the PPP. Such forgiveness will be determined, subject to limitations, based on the use of loan proceeds for payroll costs and mortgage interest, rent and utility costs. No assurance is provided that the Company will apply for and obtain forgiveness of the PPP Loan in whole or in part.
The Company will be relying on the Securities and Exchange Commissions (the SEC) Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (the Order) to delay the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 (the First Quarter 2020 10-Q) due to the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on its business and operations. In particular, Covid-19 pandemic has caused continuing disruptions in the ability of the Companys limited staff to complete the work required to prepare the financial statements and other disclosure required to be contained in the First Quarter 2020 10-Q. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company expects to file the First Quarter 2020 10-Q no later than June 29, 2020 (which is 45 days from the First Quarter 2020 10-Q original filing deadline of May 15, 2020).
In light of the continuing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Companys business and operations, the Company will be including the following Risk Factor in its First Quarter 2020 10-Q which updates the Risk Factor included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as filed with the SEC on April 15, 2020, as may be updated to reflect subsequent events impacting the Company:
WE EXPECT THE IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON OUR COMPANY TO MATERIALLY IMPACT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS IN 2020.
We have been materially and adversely impacted by the disruptions in our business as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Our company is located in Palm Beach County, Florida which is subject to a stay at home order. While effective May 11, 2020 Palm Beach County effectuated phase one of the countrys reopening plan, we continue limited operations as a non-consumer facing company that can fulfill orders and shipments with a minimal staff that can maintain social distancing, and our production and shipments remain at approximately 1 day per week.

·
As described elsewhere herein, we are materially dependent on revenues from a limited number of customers. Even before the “stay at home” order was issued, we were experiencing a significant decline in orders from our customers because of disruptions in our customers businesses as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, as a result of our historic concentration on sales to customers in the oil and gas industry, the decline in oil prices has had a materially adverse impact our sales beginning with the first quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2020 we experienced a slowdown from customers inquiries from other industries and we expect that trend to continue until such time as the full impact of the virus is known, travel restrictions are lifted and corporate capital expenditures are normalized;
·
We also expect delays in our supply chain, including delivery of raw materials and component products as companies throughout the country are affected by local quarantines and disruptions.
While the foregoing are some of the immediate impacts we are witnessing, this list is not exhaustive and we are unable to predict the overall impact on our company at this time. Our loss of revenues will materially impact our liquidity, and we do not know if we have sufficient access to working capital from historic sources to continue as a going concern. Our senior management will continue to monitor our situation on a daily basis. However, we expect that these factors and others we have yet to experience will materially adversely impact our company, its business and operations for the foreseeable future.
