Litigation
In September 2012, the Company initiated litigation against a former client (the “Defendant”) for failure to pay the Company’s invoices for services rendered under its Master License and Services Agreement. The complaint was filed in Superior Court of California, San Diego County. The litigation seeks to recover $67,795 in services and interest penalties. As of June 30, 2013, negotiations to settle the litigation with the Defendant have ceased, and the Company is seeking to obtain a judgment against the Defendant.
Operating Lease and Lease Exit Obligation
The Company has a lease agreement for 6,730 square feet, as amended, for its office facilities in Chandler Arizona through December 2015. Monthly rental payments, excluding common area maintenance charges, are $11,557 in 2013, $11,958 in 2014 and $12,357 in 2015.
The minimum lease payments required over the next five years is shown below.
The Company had a lease agreement for its office facilities in San Diego, California through September 2012. Upon signing a lease agreement for the facility in Chandler, the Company determined it no longer needed the San Diego facility. The property was vacated in November 2011 and returned to the owner. As of June 30, 2013, the Company has a Lease Exit Obligation which consists of unpaid rent totaling $24,615 for the period December 2011 through September 2012. The Company expects no further charges in relation to this lease exit obligation, aside from actual common area maintenance charges reconciled against the estimate.
Rent expense for both the San Diego, California, and Chandler, Arizona facilities (including related common area maintenance charges and lease abandonment charges) was $43,874 and $43,329, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Rent expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $86,669 and 92,617, respectively.
