Operating Leases

On October 15, 2019, the Company entered into a short-term lease agreement that is between $2,800 - $2,900 per month and ended on October 31, 2020. The lease has been renewed for another twelve months under the same general terms and conditions. The lease was subsequently canceled to accommodate additional space, and a new lease was executed February 26, 2021, effective for a 12 month term beginning March 1, 2021. The lease requires monthly base rent payments of $6,000 and the issuance of 16,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The value of the common stock of $49,600 is amortized to rent expense on a monthly basis over the lease term. As of March 31, 2021, the stock has not yet been issued (see Notes 4 and 9). The stock was subsequently issued after March 31, 2021. The Company also leases an office space for approximately $1,800 per month on a short-term (month to month) basis through a related party that terminates at any time. Rent expense under office leases, including CAM charges, was $25,396 and $14,147 for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
