Note 5. Leases, Commitments, and Contingencies

Leases

In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At lease inception, the Company determines whether an arrangement is an operating or capital lease. For operating leases, the Company recognizes rent expense, inclusive of rent escalation, on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company classifies leases at the lease commencement date as operating or finance leases and records a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with an initial lease term of greater than 12 months. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet pursuant to the practical expedient available under ASC 842, but payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Finance and operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term using the discount rate implicit in the lease. If the rate implicit is not readily determinable, the Company utilizes an estimate of its incremental borrowing rate based upon the available information at the lease commencement date. Operating lease assets are further adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In October 2024, the Company amended its lease for office space to extend the lease term for one additional year. The lease agreement (as amended) has a term that extends through October 31, 2025 with no option to renew. Operating lease expenses were $6,656 and $6,839 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating lease expenses were $13,313 and $13,394 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash paid for the office lease was $13,313 and $13,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Future annual lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases as of June 30, 2025 were as follows:

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown, because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that future expenditures will be made and such expenditures can be reasonably estimated.

Indemnification

In accordance with the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, the Company indemnifies its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while they are serving in such capacity. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors. There have been no claims to date, and the Company has a directors and officers liability insurance policy that may enable it to recover a portion of any amounts paid for future claims.
