The Company leases its office and production facilities,
and the land which are located at 3101 S US-1, Fort Pierce, Florida from Visconti Holdings, LLC. Visconti Holdings, LLC is a single member
LLC that holds the ownership of the property, and its sole member is Joseph C Visconti, our CEO . We entered into the lease on January
1, 2020, and as amended January 1, 2021, the lease has a term of five years. The current base rent payment is $31,500 per month
including property taxes and the lease required a $25,000 security deposit. The base rent will increase five percent (5%) on the
anniversary of each annual term. We have engaged in several building improvement projects during the last year.
Forza currently shares our corporate headquarters.
While we believe these headquarters are adequate for
our current operations and needs, we do believe that the capacity at the facility will not be sufficient to support both our full scale
production and Forza’s full scale production. Forza is currently designing a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant to be built in
McDowell County, North Carolina as its future boat manufacturing facility. The initial phase of our new factory will be 50,000 square
feet, that will have a capacity of 550 units annually. The site has been cleared and the rough grading is approximately 80% complete.
In August of
2022, Forza signed a six-month lease for a duplex, to be used by its employees to minimize travel expense as it started construction on
its new manufacturing facility, for $2,200 per month, on a property in Black Mountain, North Carolina.
In October of 2022, we signed a two-year lease agreement,
on a 8,800 square foot warehouse facility in Old Fort, North Carolina to begin building our prototype engines. The monthly base rent will
be $7,517 the first year, including taxes and common area maintenance, the lease required a $7,517 security deposit. The bases rent will
increase three (3%) on the anniversary of the annual term.
