Leases

 

Our facilities consist of approximately 20,000 rented square feet in Stanton, California. The Stanton facility is currently being used for small quantity assembly and testing using components that are produced by various suppliers as well as for general offices, engineering and warehousing. The rent for the Stanton facility is $10,000 per month. The facility is not sufficient for our near term anticipated needs and the Company is actively looking for a new facility. The Company arrangements for the Stanton facility are on a month per month rent.

 

Joint Venture

 

On January 27, 2017, the Company entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with a Chinese company to manufacture, market and distribute certain mobile power products based on Aura’s patented technology solely for the Peoples Republic of China territories. The JV is owned 49% by the Company and 51% by the Chinese company. The Company has contributed $250,000 and a license to specific technology and the Chinese company is required to contribute $9,750,000. In addition, the Chinese company will invest $2,000,000 in Aura at $0.20 per share for a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock. Additionally, the Chinese company will purchase a minimum of $1,250,000 of product supported by letters of credit for distribution until the joint venture factory is built, equipped, and staffed. In order to assure proper training of joint venture personnel, Aura has also committed to supply instructional personnel for six months at no cost other than reimbursement for travel, room and board. The agreement was subject to the approval of the Chinese Government which was received in April, 2017.
