Additionally, the leasing entity is entitled to reimbursement of all taxes, assessments, and any other expenses that arise from ownership. Each of the parties to the lease has agreed to review the terms of the lease every three years at the request of the other party.  Rent expense under the lease was approximately $97,000 and $98,000 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  The rent expense is included in our statement of operations as a selling and administrative expense.
