Operating Leases

 

New Jersey Laboratory Lease

 

On October 23, 2020, we completed the acquisition of CPM, which included a 4,000 square foot CLIA accredited laboratory located in Old Bridge, New Jersey, which was owned by CPM (which is now known as ProPhase Diagnostics NJ, Inc.). The lease was renewed in February 2023, for an additional 36 months until February 2026. The monthly base is $5,500 per month. The lease renewal resulted in the recognition of an additional right-of-use asset and operating lease liability of $170,000, respectively in Fiscal 2023.

 

As a result of the deconsolidation of PDX (see Note 14), the operating lease liability and right-of-use asset associated with the New Jersey operating lease was derecognized on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2026.

 

New York Second Floor Lease

 

On December 8, 2020, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “NY Second Floor Lease”) with BRG Office L.L.C. and Unit 2 Associates L.L.C. (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which the Company leases certain premises located on the second floor (the “Second Floor Leased Premises”) of 711 Stewart Avenue, Garden City, New York (the “Building”). The Second Floor Leased Premises serve as the Company’s second location and corporate headquarters, offering a wide range of laboratory testing services for diagnosis, screening and evaluation of diseases, including COVID-19 and Respiratory Pathogen Panel Molecular tests.

 

On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the NY Second Floor Lease (the “Second Floor Lease Amendment”). The Second Floor Lease Amendment amends the NY Second Floor Lease to provide that any uncured default by the Company or any of its affiliate under the NY First Floor Lease (defined below) will constitute a default by the Company under the NY Second Floor Lease.

 

On March 1, 2025, the Company entered into a Surrender Agreement with the Landlord, pursuant to which the Company agreed to surrender the Second Floor Leased Premises on or before May 30, 2025 (the “Surrender Date”). Under the agreement, the Company will remain responsible for rent and other charges through the Surrender Date and will pay the Landlord a settlement amount of approximately $740,000 in seven equal monthly installments from June 1, 2025 through December 1, 2025. Upon timely performance of the Company’s obligations under the Surrender Agreement, the NY Second Floor Lease will be deemed terminated as of the Surrender Date, and the Company will have no further obligations thereunder, other than as set forth in the Surrender Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company has made all required payments under the Surrender Agreement. As of the date of this report, the Company has made all required payments under the Surrender Agreement.

 

New York First Floor Lease

 

On June 10, 2022, the Company entered into a second Lease Agreement (the “NY First Floor Lease”) with Landlord, pursuant to which the Company leases approximately 4,516 sq. feet located on the first floor (the “NY First Floor Leased Premises”) of the Building.

Finance Leases

 

On April 19, 2023, the Company entered into a master lease agreement for laboratory equipment (the “First Equipment Lease”) with a vendor. The First Equipment Lease has a 5-year term and is recognized as a finance lease under ASC 842. The present value of the minimum future obligations of $1.5 million at inception was calculated based on an interest rate of 8.0%, which was recognized in finance lease liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

On July 21, 2023, the Company entered into a master lease agreement for a laboratory equipment (the “Second Equipment Lease”) with a vendor. The Second Equipment Lease has a 4-year term and is recognized as a finance lease under ASC 842.
