Royalty

On February 15, 2006, the Company agreed to provide the rights to Ashisuto to sell the products in the Japanese market. Per the agreement, the contract period is automatically extended by 5 years up to 20 years. Total royalty amounts received for the three-months period were not significant. Total royalty amounts received for the nine-months period ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $183,000 and $268,000, respectively.

Operating Leases

The Company leases its office under non-cancelable operating leases that expire on dates through December 2020. The lease is automatically extended upon agreement of both parties. Future minimum rental payments under the non-cancelable operating leases for September 30, 2018 are as follows:

Litigation

The Company is pending litigation against Financial News Corporation (“the defendant”), a Korea-based financial newspaper company. The Company and the defendant originally agreed upon an arrangement on February 2014 for the Company to provide services and receive payments upon completion of each stage of the contract. Per management, the defendant arbitrarily requested changes in terms of the agreement and delayed payments. The Company, as a plaintiff, is claiming damages. The management does not believe the case will have material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2018.
