Operating Lease [Abstract]  
Operating Lease
9.Operating Lease

 

During 2022, the Company entered into a non-cancelable operating lease that includes two property locations, one which is being used as the Company’s office and the other as its lab for research and development and the production of inventory. The lease had a commencement date of June 1, 2022, and expires on May 31, 2025, after which the term will continue on a month-to-month basis.

 

On July 3, 2023, the Company amended the terms of the previously entered lease agreement to lease additional office space from the lessor. Rent increased from $10,773 to $13,477 per month commencing July 1, 2023, through May 31, 2025. The lease amendment required a remeasurement of the lease liability which resulted in an increase of $47,986 to the lease liability and an equal increase in the right-of-use asset as of July 1, 2023. The Company used a discount rate of 11.50% upon the remeasurement of the lease liability on July 1, 2023, compared to an original discount rate of 8% on lease commencement, as its incremental cost of borrowing due to the amendment.

 

The Company recognized a total lease cost related to its non-cancelable operating lease of $119,222 and $103,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The lease cost has been allocated as follows based on the square footage of each property location.
