GENERAL EXPLANATORY STATEMENT REGARDING THE COVID-19 IMPACT ON THE ORGANIZATION The COVID-19 pandemic, whose effects first became known in January 2020, has caused economic interruptions through mandated and voluntary closings of businesses and organizations throughout the United States. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Organization's operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and its impact on the Organizations donors, employees, and vendors, all of which at present cannot be determined. Accordingly, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Organization's financial position and changes in net assets and cash flows is uncertain and the accompanying consolidated financial statements include no adjustments relating to the effects of this pandemic. To mitigate the devastating economic effects of the Pandemic, AFHU participated in the Small Business Administrations Paycheck Protection Program and received a forgivable loan in the amount of $1,035,000. The PPP Loan matures on April 18, 2022 and bears an interest rate of 1% per annum. AFHU obtained full forgiveness for the loan in December 2020 as it used the proceeds for permissible purposes, such as for payroll and occupancy costs. The loan is reported as a loan payable on the current year Form 990, but will be re-classed to a government grant on the succeeding years Form 990.
