COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Company may be involved in lawsuits, claims or legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues a contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that there are no claims against the Company for which the outcome is expected to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

The lease is entirely for the benefit of the Company and, although the legal obligation is with the Parent, the substance of

financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company paid the Parent an average monthly fee of $42 to share the facilities. In addition, the Company is responsible for variable utilities and common expenses for the facility incurred by the landlord.
