OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY | NOTE 12 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY
On March 15, 2022, the Company entered to an Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement with a landlord, whereby the landlord consented to the assignment of an office lease, as amended, from the original tenant to the Company. The lease term began on March 15, 2022 and expired on November 30, 2024, provided the Company has the option to extend the lease for an additional five years. On June 3, 2024 the Company extended the lease for an additional 24 months through November 30, 2026. Effective December 1, 2024, the monthly base rent shall be $3,665 per month through November 30, 2025, $3,775 from December 1, 2025 through November 30, 2026, $3,887 from December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2027, and $4,004 from December 1, 2027 through November 30, 2028.
In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the Company had elected the ‘package of practical expedients’ which permitted it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less. Upon signing of the Assumption of Lease and Consent Agreement on March 15, 2022 and the new lease effective December 1, 2024, the Company analyzed the leases and determined it is required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheet, at fair value. In connection with June 3, 2024 Lease, in December 2024, the Company increased its right of use assets and lease liabilities by $81,974 and removed all remaining right of use assets and lease liabilities associated with the March 2022 lease, which amounted to $90,710.
For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, in connection with its operating leases, the Company recorded rent expense of $11,406 and $9,264, respectively, which is included in operating expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
The significant assumption used to determine the present value of the lease liability in December 2024 was a discount rate of 9% which was based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.
On March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, ROU Assets is summarized as follows:
On March 31, 2025, future minimum base lease payments due under a non-cancelable operating lease are as follows:
