NOTE 6 - LEASES

The Company has entered into operating leases primarily for real estate. These leases have terms which range from 4 year to 6 years, and often include one or more options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 1 year to month-to-month, and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. These operating leases are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Other assets” on the Company’s March 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and represent the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The Company’s obligation to make lease payments are included in “Accrued liabilities” and “Other non-current liabilities” on the Company’s March 31, 2019 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Based on the present value of the lease payments for the remaining lease term of the Company’s existing leases, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $225,300 and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $246,100 on January 1, 2019. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of March 31, 2019, total right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities were approximately $168,200 and $180,500, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $65,600 in operating lease costs for right-of-use assets. 

Because the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company has certain contracts for real estate which may contain lease and non-lease components which it has elected to treat as a single lease component.

The Company has an additional operating lease for real estate of $420,400 which has not commenced as of March 31, 2019, and as such, has not been recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. This operating lease is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2019 with a lease terms of 7 years and 4 months.
