Lease Arrangements


The Company leases several facilities for office, warehouse, and retail space. Currently lease commitments are as follows:


A lease which commenced February 2019 for 1,400 square feet of office space located at 1718 Industrial Road, Las Vegas, NV 89102 initially for a term of eighteen months, for the initial amount of $1,785 per month. In February 2020, this lease was extended to August 31, 2022, with the monthly amount increasing to $1,866.70 until September 2021, after which it will be subject to annual increases of 3%.


A lease which commenced January 2018 for 1,000 square feet of storefront plus 5,900 square feet of warehouse space located at 1800 Industrial Road, Suites 102, 160, and 180, Las Vegas, NV 89102 initially for a term of five years for the base amount of $7,500 per month, with annual increases of 3%. In February 2020, this lease was extended to February 28, 2030 and the monthly payment amount was increased by $600.


A lease which commenced February 2019 for 2,504 square feet of office space located at 1800 Industrial Road, Suite 100, Las Vegas, NV 89102 for the initial amount of $3,210 per month, with annual increases of 4%. In February 2020, this lease was extended to February 28, 2030, and the lease was modified to include annual increases of 3%.


A lease which commenced January 2016 for 22,000 square feet of warehouse space located at 203 E. Mayflower Avenue, North Las Vegas, NV 89030 for an initial term of five years and an initial amount of $11,000 per month, increasing to $29,000 per month.


In connection with the Company’s planned Colorado operations, on April 17, 2015, pursuant to an Industrial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”), CLS Labs Colorado leased 14,392 square feet of warehouse and office space (the “Leased Real Property”) in a building in Denver, Colorado where certain intended activities, including growing, extraction, conversion, assembly and packaging of cannabis and other plant materials, are permitted by and in compliance with state, city and local laws, rules, ordinances and regulations. The Lease had an initial term of seventy-two (72) months and provided CLS Labs Colorado with two options to extend the term of the lease by up to an aggregate of ten (10) additional years.  In August 2017, as a result of the Company’s decision to suspend its proposed operations in Colorado, CLS Labs Colorado asked its landlord to be relieved from its obligations under the Lease, but the parties have not yet reached an agreement on how to proceed.


In August 2017, the Company’s Colorado subsidiary received a demand letter from its Colorado landlord requesting the forfeiture of the $50,000 security deposit, $10,000 in expenses, $15,699 in remaining rent due under the lease agreement and $30,000 to buy out the remaining amounts due under the lease.  These expenses, which are a liability of the Company’s Colorado subsidiary, have been accrued on the balance sheet as of August 31, 2020.


Contingent Liability


At the time of closing of the Acquisition Agreement, Alternative Solutions owed certain amounts to a consultant known as 4Front Advisors, which amount was in dispute. In August 2019, the Company made a payment to this company to settle this dispute and the Oasis Note was reduced accordingly.
