Authid Inc. current report, 07 May 2020

Business Context and Reporting Period

This Form 8-K is filed by Ipsidy Inc. (not Authid Inc.) on May 7, 2020, with the report date of May 12, 2020. The filing addresses two primary events: the issuance of a press release regarding financial results for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020, and the receipt of funding under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

Key Financial Metrics and Obligations

  • PPP Funding: The Company received total proceeds of $485,760 from a PPP Term Note dated May 6, 2020, with Bank of America, N.A.
  • Interest Rate: Interest accrues at 1.00% per annum.
  • Use of Proceeds: Funds are designated primarily for payroll costs, with non-payroll costs (mortgage interest, rent, utilities) capped at 25% of total proceeds.
  • Repayment Terms: Principal and interest payments are deferred for six months from the funding date. Any unforgiven balance converts to an amortizing term loan with a maturity date of May 7, 2022.
  • Quarterly Results: Specific revenue, profit, cash flow, or margin figures for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, are not provided in the text of this filing; they are referenced only in the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1).

Material Changes and New Obligations

The material change reported is the creation of a direct financial obligation via the PPP Note. This represents a new liability on the balance sheet, subject to potential forgiveness if the Company meets specific usage criteria regarding payroll and covered expenses during the eight-week period following disbursement.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

  • Forgiveness Contingency: The obligation to repay the $485,760 principal is contingent upon the Company's application for and approval of loan forgiveness by the SBA. Forgiveness is calculated based on eligible costs incurred within eight weeks of disbursement.
  • Regulatory Compliance: The terms of the loan are subject to regulations issued by the SBA under the CARES Act.
  • Management Commentary: The filing notes that the information regarding quarterly results is furnished but not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the actual financial performance metrics (revenue, net income) by reviewing the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1, as this 8-K text does not contain specific numbers.
  • Confirm the Company's eligibility for loan forgiveness based on the proportion of funds used for payroll versus non-payroll expenses.
  • Monitor the status of the loan forgiveness application to determine if the $485,760 will remain a liability or be extinguished.
  • Note the discrepancy between the requested company name (Authid Inc.) and the registrant name in the filing (Ipsidy Inc.).
