NOTE 11 – OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE (“ROU”) ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

In October 2019, the Company entered into an 18-month lease agreement for the lease of office and warehouse space under a non-cancelable operating lease through May 31, 2021. From the lease commencement date of December 1, 2019 until November 30, 2020, monthly rent shall be $4,444 and from December 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021, monthly rent shall be $4,577 per month.

In adopting ASC Topic 842, Leases (Topic 842) on January 1, 2019, the Company had elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permitted it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs (see Note 2). In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 month or less. Since the terms of the Company’s operating lease for its office space prior to October 2019 was 12 months or less on the date of adoption, pursuant to ASC 842, the Company determined that the lease met the definition of a short-term lease and the Company did not recognize the right-of use asset and lease liability arising from this lease. Upon renewal of the lease in October 2019, the Company analyzed the new lease and determined it is required to record a lease liability and a right of use asset on its consolidated balance sheet, at fair value.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, in connection with its operating leases, the Company recorded rent expense of $26,537 and $26,168, respectively, which includes rent on a short-term lease for a corporate apartment and is expensed during the period and included in operating expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The significant assumption used to determine the present value of the lease liability in October 2019 was a discount rate of 12% which was based on the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate.

On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, right-of-use asset (“ROU”) is summarized as follows:

On March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, operating lease liabilities related to the ROU assets are summarized as follows:

On March 31, 2021, future minimum base lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:
