OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

NOTE 4 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at the present value of the future lease payments at the lease commencement date. The interest rate used to determine the present value is the incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 6%, as the interest rate implicit in most of the Company’s leases are not readily determinable. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $18,403 and $10,398, respectively, as operating lease expense, which is included in rent expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company leases 823 square feet of office space located at 14497 North Dale Mabry Highway, Suite 209-N, Tampa, Florida 33618. During the year ended December 31, 2019 and through June 30, 2020 the Company paid $1,252 per month to lease the office space. The Company entered into an amended lease agreement commencing on July 1, 2020 through July 31, 2023 with base month rents of $1,475 from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021, $1,519 from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, $1,564 from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 and $1,611 from July 1, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Under the terms of the lease there may be additional fees charged above the base monthly rental fee.

In adopting Topic 842, the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. As permitted under the new guidance, the Company has made an accounting policy election not to apply the recognition provisions of the new guidance to short term leases (leases with a lease term of twelve months or less that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise); instead, the Company will recognize the lease payments for short term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On January 1, 2019, upon adoption of Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $22,575. On July 1, 2020, upon renewal of the lease, the Company recorded a right-of-use asset and lease liability of $48,957.
