Operating Lease
OPERATING LEASE	NOTE 6 – OPERATING LEASE Effective May 31, 2020, we entered into a lease with a related party for a 29,220 square foot building in Madison Heights, Michigan. The occupancy and rent commencement date was October 1, 2020. The lease has an initial term of seven years with a renewal option at the end of the initial term for an additional 3-year term, and a second renewal option thereafter for an additional 5-year term. The renewal term is not included in the calculation of the operating lease liability. As the sole tenant, we are responsible for all taxes, ordinary maintenance, snow removal and other ordinary operating expenses. Rent is $6.50 per square foot, increasing by $0.25 per year. During the first three years we had the right to buy up to a 49% interest in Magic Research LLC for a price equal to 49% of the contributions received from other members. This right has now expired as we did not exercise the option. See Note 8, Stockholders’ Equity, for a description of warrants issued to the owners of Magic Research LLC in connection with this lease. The fair value of these warrants totaling $311,718 were recorded as initial direct costs of obtaining the lease and are included in right-of-use assets on the accompanying balance sheet. See Note 7 , Related Party Transactions, for information about roles in management and economic participation by our CEO and several other directors in the landlord. In February 2023, we reached an agreement with the landlord of our Michigan facility to accept $66,000 worth of our common stock at a price of $1.25 per share as partial payment of rent for the six-month period from October 2022 through March 2023. During that period, we paid cash of $8,056 per month, effectively a cash rent reduction of $10,983 per month. In May 2023, we reached a further agreement with the landlord under which we pay cash each month to cover the cost of the mortgage and the lease for the lighting fixtures, but that will allow us to pay the balance of the rent by issuing shares of our stock valued at $0.75 per share. We have the option to continue to use stock to pay a portion of the rent through 2024. See Note 10 Subsequent Events for information about a subsequent lease amendment. For operating leases, we calculated ROU assets and lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining lease payments as of the date of adoption using the IBR as of that date. The ROU Asset was $675,988 at September 30, 2024 and $845,563 at December 31, 2023. The operating lease liability was $589,344 at September 30, 2024 and $722,419 at December 31, 2023.
