Legal Matters

 

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of business. As of the date of filing of this report, there were no pending or threatened lawsuits.

 

Operating Lease

 

As of March 31, 2023, we had no material operating leases requiring us to recognize an operating lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset.

 

Effective February 1, 2022, the Company entered into an operating lease agreement with a term of 12 months. The lease agreement required a $500 security deposit and monthly lease payments of $500.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized total rental expense of $1,860 and $4,000, respectively.

 

Consulting Agreements

 

As further discussed in Note 9, we entered into an Independent Contractor Agreement with Rich Berliner, our Chief Executive Officer, for payment of monthly compensation of $20,000. The agreement has an initial term of six months, subject to automatic renewal for six months unless terminated by the Company or Mr. Berliner.

 

We have a written consulting agreement, dated May 31, 2013 and amended effective November 1, 2016, with William E. Beifuss, Jr., our President and Acting Chief Financial Officer, for the payment of monthly compensation of $10,000 per month. The agreement may be cancelled by either party with 30 days’ notice.
