| LEASES | 8. LEASES Operating Lease Liability In June 2018, the Company executed an agreement for office space in the Borough of Florham Park, Morris County, New Jersey to be used as its headquarters (HQ Lease). The HQ Lease commenced upon completion of certain improvements in October 2018. On December 30, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended Agreement of Lease of the HQ Lease (Amended HQ Lease), with CAMPUS 100 LLC (the “Landlord”). Under the Amended HQ Lease, which was accounted for as a modification of the initial lease, the Company will continue to lease 3,983 square feet of rentable area on the second floor of a building located at 100 Campus Drive in Florham Park, New Jersey, commencing on March 1, 2023 until April 30, 2029. On May 6, 2024, the Company entered into a Second Amendment of Lease of the HQ Lease (Second Amended HQ Lease), with CAMPUS 100 LLC (the “Landlord”) expanding the amount of leased space in the building to include 7,829 square feet on the first floor. Under the Second Amended HQ Lease, which was accounted for as a modification of the initial lease and went into effect upon the landlord’s delivery of the expanded space in March 2026, the Company will continue to lease 3,983 square feet of rentable area on the second floor of a building in addition to the expanded space on the first floor, located at 100 Campus Drive in Florham Park, New Jersey, commencing March 2026 until April 2032. Under the terms of the Second Amendment of Lease, the Company’s previously paid security deposit of $23,566 remains unchanged, and the aggregate rent due over the term is approximately $2.7 million, which will be reduced to approximately $2.2 million after certain rent abatements. The Company is also required to pay its proportionate share of certain operating expenses and real estate taxes applicable to the leased premises. After rent abatements, the rent is approximately $35,300 per month for the first year and then escalates thereafter by 2% per year for the duration of the term. The Company has not entered into any leases with related parties. Discount Rate The Company has determined an appropriate interest rate to be used in evaluating the present value of the Amended Lease liability considering factors such as the Company’s credit rating, borrowing terms offered by the U.S. Small Business Administration, amount of lease payments, quality of collateral and alignment of the borrowing term and lease term. The Company considers 10% per annum as reasonable to use as the incremental borrowing rate for the purpose of calculating the liability under the Amended Lease. Maturity Analysis of Short-Term and Operating Leases The following table approximates the dollar maturity of the Company’s undiscounted payments for its short-term leases and operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2026:
