Office Lease

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company entered into an office lease agreement with Green Court, LLC, a Michigan limited liability company, for approximately 3,657 rentable square feet of space, for the initial monthly rent of $5,986, which commenced on January 1, 2015 for an initial term of 60 months. On October 10, 2017 this lease was amended increasing the rentable square feet of space to 3,950 and the monthly rent to $7,798.

On March 15, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease, adding approximately 3,248 rentable square feet, increasing the initial monthly rent to $15,452 effective May 2021, and extending the term of the lease to December 31, 2025.

On December 1, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease, decreasing the total rentable square feet to 6,513, decreasing the initial monthly rent to $15,278 effective March 2025 (after three months of no rent) and extending the term of the lease to March 31, 2029.

The Company records the lease asset and lease liability at the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease typically does not provide an implicit rate; therefore, the Company uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the time of lease commencement to discount the present value of lease payments. The Company’s discount rate for operating leases at June 30, 2025 was 10%. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term to the extent that collection is considered probable. As a result, the Company has been recognizing rents as they become payable based on the adoption of ASC Topic 842. The weighted-average remaining lease term is 3.67 years.

As of June 30, 2025, the maturities of operating lease liabilities are as follows:
		Operating
		Lease
2025			91,670
2026 and beyond			579,966
Total		$	671,637
Less: amount representing interest			(114,145	)
Present value of future minimum lease payments			557,492
Less: current obligations under leases			(128,219	)
Long-term lease obligations		$	429,274

For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred rent expenses of $89,127 and $109,608, respectively.
