Our lease expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 2021 was $260,262 and $254,708 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. Severance Benefits Mr. Mahdi will receive a severance benefit consisting of a single lump sum cash payment equal the salary that Mr. Mahdi would have been entitled to receive through the remainder or the Employment Period or One (1) year, whichever is greater. | NOTE 10 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The company has received an invoice from Oberon Securities for $291,767 which is in dispute. The company believes it has defenses to the claim for compensation and plans to assert appropriate counterclaims and actions as permitted by law. No liability has been recorded for this claim as the Company believes there is a greater than not probability that our Company will prevail in defending against the claim.
