The
Company leases its facilities and certain automobiles under operating leases which expire on various dates through 2028. The Company
determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception and whether it is a finance or operating leases. Right of Use (“ROU”)
assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the obligation
to make lease payments from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease
based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. When readily determinable, the Company uses the implicit rate in determining
the present value of lease payments. The ROU asset also includes any fixed lease payments, including in-substance fixed lease payments
and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease term
is determined at lease commencement and includes any non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying
asset, together with any options to extend that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.
On
January 24, 2022, the Company entered into leasing agreements for 3,521 square feet of office space commencing upon the completion of
tenant improvements by May 1, 2022 (“Commencement Date”).
Under the terms of the leases, the Company is required to pay $3,668 for the first twelve months of the lease and increasing by approximately
3% every 12 months thereafter until the expiration of the lease. The lease is for a period of five years from the Commencement Date and
the Company was required to make a security deposit of $3,668. The Company does not have an option to extend the lease. The Company cannot
sublease any of the office space under the lease agreement.
On
March 15, 2024, the Company entered into leasing agreements for a scrap yard located in Cleveland, Ohio. Under
the terms of the lease, the Company is required to pay $17,000 from March 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025; $23,000 from March 1, 2025 to
February 28, 2026; $23,000 from March 1, 2026 to February 28, 2027; $23,000 from March 1, 2027 to February 28, 2028; and increasing by
the greater of 3% and the CPI every 12 months thereafter until the expiration of the lease. The lease is for a period of five years,
includes two options to extend for five years each, and the Company was required to make a security deposit of $17,000.
In
May 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to the lease agreement that modified the rent payment schedule and added site clean-up
and waste management obligations. Under the amended terms, rent was $23,000 for May 2025, $17,000 per month from June 1, 2025
through December 31, 2025, $18,500 per month from January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026, and $20,000 per month from January 1, 2027
through February 28, 2028. The Company remains responsible for payment of property taxes related to the premises.
All other material terms of the lease remain unchanged.
We
believe that our facilities are adequate for our current needs and that, if required, we will be able to expand our current space or
locate suitable new office space and obtain a suitable replacement for our executive and administrative headquarters.
