COMMITTMENTS
Building Lease
 
The Company leases a combined production and office facility located in Mundelein, Illinois.  The facility is approximately 44,000 square feet.  The Company extended the lease until March 2013 and the required monthly rental payments increased to $21,000, exclusive of property taxes.   The Company also is responsible for payment of all property taxes.  Insurance and maintenance are billed when due.  If we were to lose this lease or not be able to extend our lease due to the specific requirements of our Company, the outcome to our operations could be substantial.
 
The Company recognizes escalating lease expense on a straight line basis in accordance with current accounting standards.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company recognized rent expense of $63,000 and $80,700. The future minimum annual rental payments and sub-lease income for the years ended December 31 under the lease terms are as follows:
