Operating Leases

 

The Company leases facilities under long-term operating lease agreements through May 2021. Rent expense was $99,994 and $100,914 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

The future minimum rental payments to be made under long-term operating leases are as follows:

 

Year ending December 31,: 2017   $ 95,405  
  2018     103,512

  2020     109,816  
  2021     55,719  
Total minimum rent payments     $ 471,069  

 

The above minimum lease payments reflect the base rent under the lease agreements. However, these base rents can be adjusted each year to reflect the Company’s proportionate share of increases in the building’s operating costs and the Company’s proportionate share of real estate tax increases on the leased property.
