NOTE 5 — LEASES

 

We have finance and operating leases for our corporate office and certain office and computer equipment.  Our leases have remaining lease terms of 10, 5 years, and 3 months.

 

At contract inception, we evaluate whether an arrangement is or contains a lease for which we are the lessee (that is, arrangements which provide us with the right to control a physical asset for a period of time).  Operating leases are accounted for on the balance sheets with ROU assets being recognized in “Operating lease right-of-use assets” and lease liabilities recognized in “Operating lease liability – current” and “Operating lease liability, net of current portion.” Finance leases are accounted for on the balance sheets recognized in “Property and equipment, net” and lease liabilities recognized in “Finance lease liability – current” and “Finance lease liability, net of current portion.”

 

Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  With respect to finance leases, amortization of the ROU asset is presented separately from interest expense related to the finance lease liability.

 

We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts where we are the lessee.  Additionally, for arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less, we do not recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with variable lease payments recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.  ROU assets are measured for impairment when a triggering event occurs.
