NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Leases

 

We lease approximately 12,775 square feet of office space in San Diego, California, at a monthly rent of $23,115, pursuant to a lease that expires in October 2019. In addition to monthly rent, the lease includes payment for certain common area costs. Our facility is covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe it to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense for this office space was $69,344 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

Our Korea-based subsidiary, FTI, leases approximately 10,000 square feet of office space in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $8,000. The lease expires on September 1, 2019. Beginning on June 12, 2015, FTI leased additional office space consisting of approximately 2,682 square feet, also located in Seoul, Korea, at a monthly rent of approximately $2,700, and the lease expires on September 1, 2019. In addition to monthly rent, the lease provides for periodic cost of living increases in the base rent and payment for certain common area costs. These facilities are covered by an appropriate level of insurance and we believe them to be suitable for our use and adequate for our present needs. Rent expense related to these leases was approximately $32,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

 

We lease one corporate housing facility primarily for our employees who travel, under a non-cancelable operating lease that expired September 4, 2018 and was extended to September 4, 2019. Rent expense related to this lease was $2,561 and $2,527 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Litigation

 

We are from time to time involved in certain legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe that the outcome of these matters will have any material adverse effect on the Company.

 

Change of Control Agreements

 

On September 21, 2009, we entered into Change of Control Agreements with OC Kim, our President, and Yun J. (David) Lee, our Chief Operating Officer. Each Change of Control Agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the officer in case of a change of control of the Company. The term includes the acquisition of Common Stock of the Company resulting in one person or company owning more than 50% of the outstanding shares, a significant change in the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company during any 12-month period, a reorganization, merger, consolidation or similar transaction resulting in the transfer of ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Company's outstanding Common Stock, or a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or sale of substantially all of the Company's assets.

 

The Change of Control Agreement with Mr. Kim calls for a payment of $5 million upon a change of control, and the agreement with Mr. Lee calls for a payment of $2 million upon a change of control. 

 

The Board of Directors has approved extension of the Change of Control Agreements with Mr. Kim and Mr. Lee through September 30, 2021.
