Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings:

 

As of September 30, 2023, the Company was not aware of any material claims or actions pending or threatened against us. From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, it is not possible to predict legal outcomes and their impact on the future development of claims. Any such development will be affected by future court decisions and interpretations. Because of these uncertainties, additional liabilities may arise for amounts in excess of the Company’s current reserves.

 

Operating Lease Commitments:

 

In July 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in St. Petersburg, FL. The lease had a term of 12 months and was not renewed upon expiration. Total minimum rent over the 12-month term was approximately $17,000. Due to the short-term nature of the lease, the Company recognized lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, with any variable lease payments recognized in the period in which the obligation for the payment occurred. Rent expense related to the St. Petersburg office was zero and approximately $10,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

 

In April 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office space in Itasca, IL. The lease has a term of 44 months beginning on May 1, 2022. Total minimum rent over the term of the lease is expected to be approximately $77,000. The Company has accounted for the lease under ASC 842, Leases. The annual discount rate used for the Itasca office was 8%. As of September 30, 2023, the right of use asset and lease liability are approximately $44,000, each, and held in “Other assets” and “Other liabilities” on the balance sheet, respectively. Rent expense related to the Itasca office was approximately $16,000 and $8,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.
