NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Operating Rental Leases

 

As of May 1, 2017, our corporate headquarters are located at 2990 Redhill Unit A, Costa Mesa, CA. On March 10, 2017, the Company signed a lease agreement for a 18,200-square foot CTU Industrial Building. Lease term is seven years and two months beginning July 1, 2017. In October of 2018 we signed a sublease agreement with our facility in Italy with an indefinite term that may be terminated by either party with a 60-day notice for 1,000 Euro per month. Due to the short termination clause, we are treating this as a month-to-month lease. Future minimum lease payments for the years ending December 31, and 2023 are:

 

Year  Lease Payment 
2023   191,903 
Imputed Interest   (5,467)
Net Lease Liability  $186,436 

 

Our lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $349,610 and $346,454 respectively.

 

ASB ASU 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted the above ASU as of January 1, 2019. The right of use asset and lease liability have been recorded at the present value of the future minimum lease payments, utilizing a 5% average borrowing rate and the company is utilizing the transition relief and “running off” on current leases.
