Sep. 30, 2020

The Company currently occupies two leased properties, both of which serve as administrative office space. The Company determined that both leases are operating leases based on the lease classification test performed at lease commencement.

The annual base rent for the Company's office located in Rockville, Maryland is $161,671, subject to annual 2.5% increases over the term of the lease. The applicable lease provided for a rent abatement for a period of 12 months following the Company's date of occupancy. The lease has an initial term of 10 years from the date the Company makes its first annual fixed rent payment, which occurred in January 2020. The Company has the option to extend the lease two times, each for a period of five years, and may terminate the lease as of the sixth anniversary of the first annual fixed rent payment, upon the payment of a termination fee. As of the lease commencement date, it was not reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the renewal periods or early terminate the lease and therefore the end date of the lease for accounting purposes is January 31, 2030. The Company entered into a sublease for additional administrative office space in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania in May 2020 (the "Chesterbrook Lease"). The annual base rent under the Chesterbrook Lease is $280,185. The lease expires in November 2021. The weighted average remaining term of the operating leases at September 30, 2020 was 7.7 years.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to the leased property is as follows:
