As discussed in Note 5, the Company has leased its Fort Pierce, Florida facilities from a company owned by its CEO.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company received a monthly fee of $46,670 and $6,800, respectively, to provide management services and facility utilization to Forza. This income for the Company, and expense for Forza, has been eliminated in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August of 2022, Forza signed a six-month lease for a duplex on a property in Black Mountain, NC, to be used by its traveling employees during the construction of its new manufacturing facility, for $2,500 per month. After the initial term of the lease, it was extended on a month-to-month basis. In August of 2023, the then president of Forza, James Leffew, purchased the property, and Forza executed a new lease agreement with Mr. Leffew on the same month-to-month terms. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the lease expense was $7,500 and $7,500, respectively.
