OTHER MATTERS

During the audit, it was noted that the Company did not include its Small Business Administration (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan received during the period of availability within the Other Assistance Received section of the submitted report. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Management of the Company omitted its PPP loan from the Other Assistance Received section of the submitted report because the PPP loan was not utilized as a source of reimbursement for claimed expenditures on the submitted report. Effect: This does not have an effect on the PRF Program as expenses claimed for reimbursement under the PRF Program were not reimbursed through the PPP loan. Recommendation: We recommend the Company consult the HRSA user guide prior to the completion and submission of future reports for the PRF Program. Views of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Action: The Company agrees with the finding identified. The Company?s response to the finding is described in the accompanying management?s corrective action plan.
