Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Execution of Lease Agreement for New Facility:
On July 1, 2005, JMAR Technologies, Inc. executed a Standard Industrial Net Lease ("Lease") with Collins-Tech R.B, a California limited partnership ("Landlord"), covering the lease of a 23,080 facility in Rancho Bernardo, California (San Diego County). JMAR intends to relocate its corporate office, Research Division (laser and X-ray products) and Sensor Products Group (BioSentry sensors) into this new facility in November, 2005. JMAR currently leases three facilities in San Diego County as follows: 4,856 square feet for its corporate offices in Carlsbad, California (extended expiration in November, 2005), 9,280 square feet for its Research Division in San Diego, California (expiring April 30, 2005) and 2,200 square feet for its Sensor Products Group located in Escondido, California (currently rented on a month-to-month basis). JMAR believes that co-locating its Research Division and Sensor Products Group with the corporate offices will enhance the efficiencies of its operations and improve interaction among these groups.
The Lease provides for a commencement date of November 1, 2005 with a term of seven years. The monthly rent (exclusive of JMAR’s share of the operating costs, maintenance and repairs, real property taxes, insurance costs and utilities applicable to the facility), increases over the seven year term from $26,542 per month for the first year to $33,102 per month for the seventh year of the Lease. JMAR is required to provide a security deposit of $30,605 in cash and a letter of credit in the amount of $128,645 which reduces in amount by $50,000 at the end of the second Lease year and $25,000 per year thereafter if JMAR is not in default under the Lease. This reduction in the amount of the letter of credit will also be suspended in any year in which JMAR has been charged with a late payment more than twice.
The Lease also provides for a tenant improvement allowance of $496,200 for the costs associated with tenant improvements to be made to the facility prior to JMAR’s occupation of the facility (which includes up to $150,000 for sprinkler retro-fitting). As of the date of this Report, JMAR estimates that additional tenant improvement costs and other expenses of the relocation will be approximately $250,000 in excess of the Landlord’s tenant improvement allowance, but JMAR may not have identified all of the costs associated with the relocation to the new facility or the consolidation of the three operations and the current cost estimates may change.
