Lease
The Company leases its facility in Spicewood, Texas under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring on May 31, 2014. Rent expense incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $9,887 and $9,219, respectively. On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a lease for 14,782 square feet of office and laboratory space located at 4120 Freidrich Lane, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78744. The triple net lease has a term of 48 months and the Company expects the commencement date of the lease to be approximately June 1, 2014. The annual base rent in the first year of the lease is $154,324 and increases by $3,548 in each succeeding year of the lease. In addition, the Company will be required to pay its proportionate share of operating costs for the building. The Company has a one-time option to terminate the lease on May 31, 2017 with a termination payment of approximately $99,000 if it elects to exercise this option. Upon entering the lease agreement, the Company paid $52,726 to the landlord, inclusive of the first month’s rent and operating costs of $16,886 and a security deposit of $35,840 that is to be repaid, provided the Company is not in default on any of its obligation under the lease, one-half after eighteen months and the remainder at the end of the lease term.
The annual base rent commitments under the lease, assuming no early termination, are as follows:
Inventory
The Company’s contract manufacturer, as pre-approved by the Company, purchases component inventory to utilize in future production of the Company’s products. If the Company were to cease utilizing this contract manufacturer, the Company would be required to purchase the inventory acquired on its behalf and not used in the production of its products at the acquisition cost of the inventory plus a storage fee. At March 31, 2014, the Company’s contract manufacturer held component inventory of $50,578, inclusive of the storage fee, under this arrangement. The Company has recorded this component inventory as inventory in its balance sheet with a corresponding liability recorded in accrued expenses. |
