Note 11. Operating Lease Commitments

The Company entered into an operating lease arrangement that commenced on October 1, 2025 with unrelated parties for office space located in Wayne, PA. The lease expires on September 30, 2028, and the Company has the option of extending the lease for two additional one-year terms. The Company did not include options to extend its lease terms as part of its right-of-use asset and lease liabilities. The lease is subject to additional variable charges, including common area maintenance and property insurance. Given the variable nature of such costs, they are recognized as expense as incurred. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

The Company has recorded right-of-use assets of $0.6 million and lease liabilities of $0.6 million for its operating lease on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025.

The following are the components of lease cost recognized within general and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025:

About Leases Disclosures

Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.

Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
