The Company leases office facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, The Valley, Anguilla, British West Indies and Netanya, Israel. These office facilities are leased under operating lease agreements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company signed a five year lease for a facility in Vancouver, Canada, commencing April 1, 2019 and ending March 2024. This facility comprises approximately 1,459 square feet.

The Netanya, Israel operating lease expired on July 14, 2017 but unless 3 month’s notice is given it automatically renews for a future 12 months until notice is given. During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the lease was extended for a further 12 months. This facility comprises approximately 190 square metres. The renewal of this lease is uncertain, hence the Company has accounted for this lease as a short-term lease.

The Anguillan operating lease expired on April 1, 2011 but unless 3 month’s notice is given it automatically renews for a further 3 months.
