2. Properties.
In
June 2015, we were accepted into the “New Venture Incubator Program,” which was established by The University of Texas at
San Antonio (“UTSA”) to foster research by assisting technology-based businesses and entrepreneurs. Pursuant to the terms
of a license agreement, UTSA grants us a license for the temporary use of approximately 1,250 square feet of laboratory and office space
in room SRL 1.424 inside the Science Research Laboratories on UTSA’s campus. In exchange, we pay a licensing fee of $3,081 per
month. The license agreement has a one-year term that we can extend by requesting a term extension from UTSA. Since 2016, UTSA has granted
each of our annual requests for a license extension.
We
rent additional corporate office space located at Venture Point (formerly WorkHub Elite Business Center) pursuant to a membership agreement
that is renewable in September 2024. Currently, we rent several office suites for a monthly fee of approximately $7,000 per month. We
do not own any real property.
PPLS
leases a premises in San Antonio, Texas, used in connection with operation of the CAP-accredited, CLIA-certified clinical pathology laboratory.
The rent is currently $10,143.83 per month, and the term of the lease expires in October 2024. We are in negotiations to extend the lease
for 6 years at a rate similar to the current rent.
Management
believes that the combination of our rented and licensed office and laboratory spaces are adequate to meet our current needs and expected
level of operations.
