NOTE 8—LEASES
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, and research and development facilities. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 8 months to 110 months, some of which include options to extend for up to 10 years.
On April 2, 2024, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated party, as purchaser, to sell the Company’s 1213 Elko Drive property in Sunnyvale, California (the “Sunnyvale Property”) for $11.9 million in cash. On May 21, 2024 the purchase price was revised to $11.7 million. On June 6, 2024, the Company completed the sale and leaseback transaction for a purchase price, net of closing and other expenses payable by the Company, of $11.2 million in cash. Concurrent with the sale, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) to lease all of the Sunnyvale Property that it occupied from the purchaser for an initial term of ten years from the closing of the sale of the Sunnyvale Property. The Company has the option to renew the term of the Lease for two additional five-year periods. Pursuant to the Lease, the Company is responsible for base rent initially at a rate of approximately $90,768 per month and the monthly operational expenses, such as maintenance, insurance, property taxes and utilities. The rental rate will increase three percent (3%) per year beginning on the first anniversary of the closing. The transaction was accounted for as a sale and leaseback and operating lease accounting classification. The Company recorded a gain of $5.7 million which was recorded in the gain from sale of assets in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the quarter ended June 30, 2024. In connection with the transaction, the Company presented the net book value of the real property of $5.6 million as assets held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024.

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.
