Operating Leases

The Company leases its corporate space in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At September 30, 2018, the Company had the following minimum commitments for payment of rentals which at inception had a non-cancellable term of more than one year:

	Amount
2018	$	30,968
2019		188,850
2020		193,338
2021		64,940
Total	$	478,096

Rent expense for operating leases was $84,261 and $38,266 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $41,063 and $13,189 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In connection with the corporate lease, the Company is no longer required to maintain a $50,000 standby letter of credit, which expired on July 31, 2018.

In September 2017, the Company entered into a non-cancelable operating lease agreement for building space to accommodate expansion in research and development and general corporate office needs. The new lease commenced, and the Company moved to the facility in May 2018, in conjunction with the termination of the existing lease. The new lease contains provisions for future rent increases and leasehold improvement allowances. Rent expense is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The net difference of rent expense versus the actual cash paid is recorded as deferred rent. Additionally, the leasehold improvement allowances are deferred and recorded as a reduction of rental expense over the lease term using the straight-line method. Deferred rent is reflected in accrued expenses in the unaudited condensed financial statements. The new lease agreement extends through April 2021 and provides for monthly rent, real estate taxes and operating expenses.

Clinical Research Study

In May 2017, the Company entered into an agreement with a clinical research organization to conduct a clinical research study. The Company made payments of $300,000 in June 2017 and $50,000 in November 2017, January 2018, April 2018 and July 2018 and is obligated to make future payments of $50,000 and $50,000 in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Additional payments will be due as certain milestones are met. The maximum amount of these additional payments is estimated to be approximately $2,040,000 over the course of the agreement.
