Operating Lease Agreements

 

In July 2016, the Company renewed its lease with an unrelated third party for its headquarters office. The renewal was effective September 1, 2016 and expanded the office space being occupied. The lease expires in September 2022 and lease payments increase by 3% annually. In February 2017 and January 2018, the Company signed amendments to expand further the leased office space. The Company's Israeli subsidiary entered into a two-year lease for office space starting in September 2018. The lease includes an option to extend with prior notice and with terms to be negotiated.

 

On March 19, 2019, the Company's Israeli subsidiary signed a 10-year lease for a manufacturing facility, effective April 1, 2019, for approximately 5,800 square feet. The landlord has provided a four-month grace period rent free from April to July 2019, after which the 10-year lease will begin. The monthly rental payment starts at approximately $5,300 and will be subject to periodic escalations at amounts specified in the lease plus the consumer price index. In addition, the Company is responsible for maintenance fees covering its portion of the expenses of common areas. After 2, 4, 6 and 8 years, and with 180 days prior notice, the Company has the right to terminate the lease at its sole discretion without penalty.

 

The Company currently does not have any lease with a term under 12 months.

Manufacturing Agreement

 

In 2010, the Company entered into a three-year contract manufacturing agreement with an unrelated third party for the production and manufacture of the Company's main product in accordance with the Company's product specifications. The agreement renews for successive years unless either party notifies the other party in writing, at least 60 days prior to the anniversary date of this agreement that it will not renew the agreement. The Company or the manufacturer has the option to terminate the agreement with 90 days written notice.

 

Purchases from this manufacturer totaled approximately $5,786,000 and $4,185,000 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, approximately $1,104,000 and $1,041,000, respectively, was due to this manufacturer, which is presented in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

 

Legal contingencies

 

The Company is party to certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business. The Company assesses, in conjunction with its legal counsel, the need to record a liability for litigation and related contingencies.

 

In November 2015, the Company learned that the Department of Justice (the "Department") had commenced an investigation of the billing to Medicare by a physician who had treated patients with the Company's SRT-100. The Company has received two Civil Investigative Demands from the Department seeking documents and written responses in connection with that investigation. The Company has fully cooperated with the investigation. The Department has advised the Company that it was considering expanding the investigation to determine whether the Company had any involvement in the physician's use of certain reimbursement codes. The Company disputes that it has engaged in any wrongdoing with respect to such reimbursement claims; among other things, the Company does not submit claims for reimbursement or provide coding or billing advice to physicians. To the Company's knowledge, the Department has made no determination as to whether the Company engaged in any wrongdoing, or whether to pursue any legal action against the Company. Should the Department decide to pursue legal action, the Company believes it has strong and meritorious defenses and will vigorously defend itself. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the cost associated with this matter.
