Medical Office Lease – West Hollywood, California

 

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to lease a medical office in West Hollywood, California. The lease commenced on April 1, 2022. The lease has a 60-month term, and the Company has an option to extend the term for one 5-year renewal period at the prevailing market rate that the landlord is then obtaining from tenants for comparable space in the building. The lease has a base monthly rent of $8,336 per month for the first 12 months, with the base monthly rent increasing by 4% on the first anniversary of the lease commencement date and every 12 months thereafter. In addition to the base monthly rent, commencing on the first anniversary of the lease commencement date, the Company will pay its share of certain direct operating and tax expenses incurred by the landlord in maintaining the building.

 

This lease was accounted for under ASC 842, Leases, which resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset (“ROU asset”) and liability of $431,000 at inception. The ROU asset is recorded as a component of non-current assets and the liability a component of current and non-current liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company discounted the future lease payments of this lease using the prevailing collateralized lending rate which would be extended to the Company based on its credit profile relative to the period of inception, and the duration of the lease from inception. The interest rate used in calculating the fair value listed above was 7.8%
