7. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating lease

In March 2014, the Company entered into a non-cancelable thirty-eight month lease agreement for offices in Campbell, California which commenced June 1, 2014 with escalating rent payments ranging from approximately $9,200 to $9,800 per month and one option to extend the lease term for an additional three years. Included in the lease agreement was a full rent abatement period of two months. Rent expense is recognized on a straight line basis. The future minimum payments related to this lease are as follows:

Years ending December 31:
2017		39,192
Total	$	39,192

Rent expense was $27,152 in each of the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 and $54,303 in each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

In July 2017, the Company vacated its offices in Campbell, California and signed a six-month lease for office space in Cupertino, California which requires lease payments of $1,767 per month.

Guaranteed payments

The Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain patent assets under which a $2,000,000 guaranteed payment was due on December 1, 2015. In October 2015, the Company and the other party amended the terms of the original patent purchase agreement, with the amendment providing that the Company make a $550,000 payment on January 31, 2016 and a $1,650,000 payment on July 1, 2016. The total amount of $2,200,000 remains outstanding and accrues interest at 10% per annum, and is expected to be repaid from net monetization revenues generated by INVT SPE under the PRIP (see Note 3).

Nasdaq Listing

Previously, on November 21, 2016 and on April 7, 2017, the Company received notice from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and Rule 5550(b)(1), respectively.

The Company subsequently submitted a notice of appeal to Nasdaq appealing its determination that the Company no longer complied with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, which appeal was heard before a hearings panel (the “Panel”) on June 1, 2017.

On May 23, 2017, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq further advised the Company that the Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

On June 5, 2017, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Panel has determined to delist the shares of the Company from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading in the Company’s shares effective at the open of business on June 7, 2017. The Company submitted a request to the Office of Appeals and Review on June 20, 2017, requesting that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”) review the Panel’s decision. On July 28, 2017, the Company updated the Council regarding the third party independent valuation that was undertaken to establish the value of INVT SPE and the resulting positive impact on the Company’s stockholders’ equity, which the Company believes enables it to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
