Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

Litigations, Claims, and Assessments

From time to time, the Company is involved in various disputes, claims, liens and litigation matters arising out of the normal course of business which could result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the Company had no outstanding claims or litigation and had no liabilities recorded for loss contingencies.

Operating Lease

On August 21, 2019, the Company entered into a lease for a 10,000 square foot facility consisting of lab and office space. The lease requires monthly payments of $16,667 and expires on November 30, 2025. The Company has arranged for a $100,000 letter of credit in favor of the landlord in lieu of a security deposit, which was included as restricted cash on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

The assets and liabilities from operating leases are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rates or implicit rates, when readily determinable. Short-term leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate that can readily be determined. Therefore, the Company uses a discount rate based on its estimated incremental commercial borrowing rate,

The following table presents information about the amount and timing of liabilities arising from the Company’s operating and finance leases as of March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Maturity of Lease Liabilities	Operating Lease Liabilities
2022	$	150,000

Short-term portion		177,453

The Right of Use Asset at March 31, 2022 of $654,471 is being amortized over the lease term – with $177,453 classified as a short-term asset and $477,018 classified as a long term asset.
