Leases Leases
In January 2017, the Company entered into a lease for approximately 2,500 square feet of office space in Westport, Connecticut, (the “Westport Lease”), which was subsequently extended and increased to approximately 4,000 square feet. In June 2023, the Westport Lease was terminated.
In July 2023, the Company signed a 5.5-year lease for approximately 2,700 square feet of office space in Shelton, Connecticut, (the “Shelton Lease”). The Company has a one-time option to cancel the Shelton Lease after 36 months if it provides written notice before the end of month 30. A payment of approximately $47,000 would be due at the end of month 36 if the Company exercises this option. This option is not reasonably certain to occur.
Rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $63,000 and $120,000, respectively. Cash paid for operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $49,000 and $192,000, respectively, all of which pertained to the Shelton Lease. Cash paid for the Westport Lease will commence in 2024.
