NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Operating Lease

The Company leases office space in Centennial, Colorado under a noncancelable operating lease agreement. The Company leases and occupies approximately 27,900 square feet of office space. The original term of the lease was set to expire in December 2024, however, in November 2023, the Company elected to extend the lease through June 2025. In recognition of the ROU asset and the related lease liability as of September 30, 2024, any further options to extend the lease term have not been included as the Company was not reasonably certain to exercise any such option.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 0.8 years and 1.5 years, respectively, and the discount rate used was 7.0% as of each respective date.

Legal Proceedings

In the normal course of business, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings. The Company will accrue a liability for legal proceedings when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Purchase Commitments

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had approximately $467,000 in outstanding firm purchase commitments to acquire inventory and research and development parts from suppliers for the Company's ongoing operations.
