NOTE 14 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS

 

The Company’s right-of-use assets represent arrangements related primarily to office facilities used in the ordinary business operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. In April 2018, a commercial bank issued an irrevocable standby letter of credit on behalf of the Company to the landlord for $1,075,000 to lease office space. The standby letter of credit is valid for a seven-year term and was amended in December 2025 to extend to March 31, 2033. The Company leases office space in Beverly Hills, California pursuant to a lease agreement, as amended, with an original commencement date of April 5, 2018, which was extended for an additional 86-month term commencing December 1, 2025 and expiring January 31, 2033, with one five-year renewal option but the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the option at lease commencement. For purposes of measuring the right-of-use asset and lease liability under ASC 842, the Company applied an incremental borrowing rate of 8.50%. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. In determining that rate, the company considers prevailing economic conditions at the commencement date, as well as factors such as company-specific credit risk, term of the lease and options, and the effect of collateralization based on the nature and quality of the underlying asset. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s net operating lease right-of-use assets amounted to $4,581,907 and $4,722,366, respectively. The Company had variable lease payments of approximately $2,624 and $38,277 during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which consisted primarily of common area maintenance charges and administrative fees.
