NOTE 9 – LEASE COMMITMENT TO RELATED PARTY

The lease commitment provides for the following minimum annual rental commitments:

Year ending  
December 31, 2013 (Through September 30, 2013) $364,500

 

The Company presently occupies approximately 23,000 square feet of an office building located at 23251 Mulholland Drive, Woodland Hills, California, under a master lease expiring March 31, 2013. Erwin Cheldin, the Company's former president and a current director and principal stockholder, is the owner of the building. The lease provides for an annual gross rent of $486,000 and is effective from April 1, 2012, through March 31, 2013. In addition, the lease provides for three 6-month extension options at the same terms and conditions for each extension period. The Company also leases storage space from Erwin Cheldin. Depending on usage, storage space rental is estimated to be approximately $15,000 annually. On March 7, 2013, the Company exercised its right to extend the lease for an additional six months through September 30, 2013. The Company believes that at the inception of the lease agreement and at each subsequent extension, the terms of the lease were at least as favorable to the Company as could have been obtained from non-affiliated third parties. The Company utilizes for its own operations 100% of the space it leases. The total rent expense under this lease agreement and the previous master lease agreement which expired March 31, 2012 was $712,248 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The total rent expense under the master lease agreement which expired March 31, 2012 was $1,066,990 for the years ended December 31, 2011, and 2010.
