Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company has operating leases for office space in several states. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis. Generally, the leases have initial terms ranging from one to five years. Renewal options are typically not recognized as part of the right of use assets and lease liabilities as it is not reasonably certain at the lease commencement date that the Company will exercise these options to extend the leases. Leases with an initial term of twelve-months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets and are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company leases its corporate office from an entity controlled by the Company’s CEO. In addition, some of the entities acquired lease their offices from their former owners, who now hold a minority interest in those entities.

During January 2025, the Company entered into a new lease for office space in Orlando, FL. The Orlando lease requires monthly payments of $5,170. The Orlando lease is initially for a five-year term, with no written option for renewal.

Lease costs expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $280,851 and $210,108, respectively, and are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time the Company is involved in litigation, claims, and other proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Such litigation and other proceedings may include, but are not limited to, actions relating to employment law and misclassification, intellectual property, commercial or contractual claims, brokerage or real estate disputes, or other consumer protection statutes, ordinary-course brokerage disputes like the failure to disclose property defects, commission disputes, and vicarious liability based upon conduct of individuals or entities outside of the Company’s control, including agents and third-party contractor agents. Litigation and other disputes are inherently unpredictable and subject to substantial uncertainties and unfavorable resolutions could occur.

The occurrence of an unfavorable outcome in any specific period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for that period or future periods. Other than as described above, we are not presently a party to any material pending or threatened legal proceedings.

The Company believes that the above claims are without merit, and it will vigorously defend against such claims. Moreover, these claims, in the aggregate, would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, business, or results of operations, should the Company’s defense not be successful in whole or in part. Except as stated herein, there is no other action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of our executive officers, threatened against or affecting our Company or our officers or directors in their capacities as such.
