COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	NOTE 10: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES An arbitration proceeding was brought against the Company before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. by a broker seeking to be paid approximately $1 million as compensation for two financing transactions that occurred in 2018, a warrant conversion and a private placement brokered by another broker. The broker’s claims are based on a placement agent agreement for a private placement it brokered in 2017, under which it alleges it is entitled to compensation for the 2018 transactions. The Company believes it has defenses to all of the allegations and intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter. As discussed in Footnotes #6 and #7, on March 26, 2020 the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to design, engineer, build and eventually install modular cleanrooms in a manufacturing facility in Houston, Texas, which the Company expects to lease with a commencement date in the fourth quarter of 2020. The total fees for this project to be substantially completed by December 31, 2020 are estimated to be $6.5 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has recorded $4.6 million of construction in progress costs associated with the building of the cleanrooms and the manufacturing facility.
