NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Obligation Under Operating Lease

Through December 1, 2021, the Company leases approximately 1,700 square feet for its principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida at a monthly rental of approximately $3,500, which expired in November 2018. VoiceInterop executed a new 3-year lease with its current landlord on December 1, 2018 for the same office space. The lease provided one month free as a concession. The monthly rent is $3,630 and provides for annual increases of base rent of 4% until the expiration date. The lease expires on November 30, 2021. Upon the deconsolidation, the Company subleases the office space from VoiceInterop at approximately $1,400 per month.

On December 1, 2021, the Company signed a one year lease approximately 2,000 square feet for our principal offices in Boca Raton, Florida. The monthly rent is $2,200. The lease expires on November 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2021, no customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company's total outstanding accounts receivable.

Major Supplier and Sole Manufacturing Source

During 2014, the Company developed a proprietary interoperable communications solution. The Company relies on no major supplier for its products and services. The Company has contracted with a single local manufacturing facility to provide completed circuit boards used in the assembly of its IP gateway devices. Interruption to the manufacturing source presents additional risk to the Company. The Company believes that other commercial facilities exist at competitive rates to match the resources and capabilities of its existing manufacturing source.
