NOTE 9—COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

 

In October 2013, we signed a lease for new office space for our corporate headquarters, and moved into the new location in the first quarter of 2014. The lease had a term of 38 months and a rental cost of approximately $5,412 per month, increasing 3% annually after the first fourteen months. In addition, our share of building operating costs were estimated to be $2,101 per month. In April 2014, we amended the lease to add additional space which increased our rent to $8,286 per month beginning August 1, 2014 plus estimated monthly operating costs of $3,154 and extended the lease term through July, 2017. We have a renewal option for an additional 3 year term. The original lease included a tenant improvement allowance of $72,160 and the amended lease included an additional tenant improvement allowance of $38,320. The allowances were used to construct our office build-out and have been capitalized as leasehold improvements and construction-in-process as of December 31, 2014. The capitalized costs are being amortized over the amended lease term through July 2017.

 

In November 2013, we signed a lease for our satellite development office in Burlingame, CA. The lease has a two-year term, and rental costs of approximately $4,169 per month. We have a renewal option to extend the lease for two additional years.

 

Rent expense related to our facilities and equipment for the period January 1, 2013 to June 16, 2013 and the period June 17, 2013 to December 31, 2013 was $22,338 and $27,256, respectively, and was $128,322 for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Legal Proceedings—As of December 31, 2014, we were not involved in, but may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims and governmental investigations in the normal course of business. Legal fees and other costs associated with such actions are expensed as incurred. We assess, in conjunction with our legal counsel, the need to record a liability for litigation and contingencies. Litigation accruals are recorded when and if it is determined that a loss related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosure. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2014, there was no litigation or contingency with at least a reasonable possibility of a material loss. No losses have been recorded during the period from January 1, 2013 to June 16, 2013 and the period from June 17, 2013 to December 31, 2013 and the year ended December 31, 2014 with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.
