Leases [Abstract]

LEASES

The Company periodically enters into operating lease contracts for office space and equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements constitute a lease. In accordance with the transition guidance of ASC 842, such arrangements are included in our balance sheet as of January 1, 2019.

Right of use assets, which we refer to as “ROU assets,” represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities were recognized at the transition date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term, with the office space ROU asset adjusted for deferred rent liability.

The Company has two operating leases: an office space lease with a remaining lease term of 51 months and a copier lease with a remaining lease term of 16 months as of March 31, 2020. In accordance with the transition guidance of ASC 842, such arrangements are included in our balance sheet as of January 1, 2019. All other leases are short-term leases for which out of practical expediency the Company has elected to not recognize lease assets and lease liabilities.

In March 2017, and as amended in March 2018, the Company executed a new office lease effective April 1, 2019 for office space located at 1200 Summit Ave., Suite 414, Fort Worth, TX 76102. On July 1, 2019, the Company amended the office lease agreement which became effective on August 22, 2019 upon completion by the landlord of certain leasehold improvements. Under the terms of the amended lease agreement, the Company leased an additional 1,682 rentable square feet of office space which brought the total square footage leased to 5,877. The amended lease agreement extends the original term of the lease for a period of 36 months through June 30, 2024. The monthly base rental payments under the amended lease agreement are as follows:

From	Through	Monthly Base Rental
August 22, 2020	June 30, 2020	$	12,243.75
July 1, 2020	June 30, 2021	$	12,488.63
July 1, 2021	June 30, 2022	$	12,488.63
July 1, 2022	June 30, 2023	$	12,733.50
July 1, 2023	June 30, 2024	$	12,978.38

As the implicit rate in the leases is not determinable, the discount rate applied to determine the present value of lease payments is the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 6.25%. The office space lease agreement contains no renewal terms, so no lease liability is recorded beyond the termination date. The copier lease can be automatically renewed but no lease liability is recorded beyond the initial termination date as exercising this option is not reasonably certain.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company has recorded lease assets of $556,533 and a related lease liability of $570,582 as of March 31, 2020. Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities as of March 31, 2020 was $37,354 . The present value of our operating lease liabilities is shown below.
