NOTE 7 – LEASES

 

The Company leases space under operating leases for administrative, manufacturing and laboratory facilities in Cleveland, Ohio. The Company also leases office space in New York, New York, which the Company sublets. The lease for the office space in New York, New York will terminate in September of 2025, which is the end of the lease term. The Company also leases certain office equipment under operating leases, which have a non-cancelable lease term of less than one year and the Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude these short-term leases from the Company’s right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

 

During 2024, the Company signed a lease for 16,566 square feet of office space at 6700 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the lease term began on January 1, 2025 with an initial term through December 30, 2030. Annual lease payments during the term of the lease are approximately $0.3 million. The total lease payments over the duration of the lease term are approximately $1.5 million. The additional space at the 6700 Euclid Avenue facility will allow the Company to convert office space at the 6555 Carnegie Avenue facility into additional manufacturing space to increase ZEVASKYN™ manufacturing capacity. The impact of this lease agreement was to increase the Company’s operating right-of-use lease assets and operating lease liabilities by $1.0 million on January 1, 2025.

 

The Company has entered into two sublease agreements with unrelated third parties to occupy the Company’s administrative offices in New York. The sublease agreements terminate in September of 2025 at the same time the Company’s lease terminates. The Company expects to receive $0.1 million in future sublease income through September 2025 from the two subleases noted above.
