NOTE 7.     LEASES

 

Operating Leases

 

The Company leases its facilities in Clearwater, Florida and Sofia, Bulgaria under non-cancelable operating lease agreements. During May 2023, the Company entered into a Single Tenant Industrial Building Lease (the “Lease”), on property it previously owned in Clearwater, Florida. The Lease has an initial term of ten (10) years commencing from the closing (the “Initial Term”), and a renewal term of five (5) years, exercisable at the Company’s option. The annual fixed rent is $619,500 for the first year of the Initial Term, and is subject to a 4% escalation every year thereafter through the Initial Term. Rent will be reset to the current market rate should the Company exercise the renewal option. The Lease provides for a 3% management fee on rent payments throughout the Initial Term and optional renewal term. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into a five-year extension of its Sofia, Bulgaria facility. These operating leases have terms expiring through May 2033.

About Leases Disclosures

Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.

Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
