8.         Leases

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company implemented this standard effective January 1, 2019. Upon implementation of the new guidance, the Company recognized a liability and right-of-use asset of $91,637 as of January 1, 2019 for its one operating lease.  To calculate the liability and right of use asset, the Company utilized a 4.0% incremental borrowing rate to discount the future rent payments and remaining lease term on the date of adoption of 1.75 years.

 

The Company leases its facilities from a port authority for approximately $5,500 per month expiring in September 2020, with annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index. 

 

The original lease was effective October 1, 2014 and contained a three-year renewal option and a provision for an annual increase of 2% per year, plus Leasehold Tax of 12.84%.  On September 5, 2017, the Company exercised the three-year option. The first year of this option was not subject to the 2% increase. The current lease does not contain the option to extend the lease.  However, the Company believes that a new lease agreement will be signed prior to the expiration of the current lease.   At December 31, 2019, the remaining lease term is nine months.

 

 

As of December 31, 2019, total future lease payments are as follows:
