7 - Gain on Sale of Property - On August 12, 2022, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “PSA”) with Frontenac Properties LLC (the “Purchaser”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the PSA, to sell its facility in Naperville, Illinois, in which the Company’s headquarters and warehouse space are located, to the Purchaser.  On September 27, 2022, the Company’s sale of the facility to the Purchaser was completed for a selling price of $5,350,000 in cash, less customary closing costs. The net gain on the transaction was $4,738,394.  A portion of the net proceeds was invested in U.S. Treasury bills and is included in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2022.

 

Concurrently with the completion of the sale of the Naperville facility, the Company and the Purchaser entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company leased the office and warehouse portion of the Naperville facility from the Purchaser until December 31, 2022 and the office portion until June 30, 2023.  The monthly rent payable by the Company under the lease was $12,500 for the period from the closing until December 31, 2022 and was $8,500 for the period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023.  For the period from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023 the lease was extended on a month to month basis at $8,500 per month. The Company adopted the practical expedient for short-term leases under ASC 842 which allows for leases of 12 months or less to be expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term without reporting on the balance sheet.
