Note 11 — Leases

 

The Company has entered into operating leases for office space. The leases have remaining terms ranging from three months to 1.8 years and expire at various dates through July 2027. The leases do not contain residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

 

During the year ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into new or amended leases relating to four properties. In connection with these leases, the Company recognized additional right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of $528. The Company also modified the lease on one property it occupies in Lowell, Massachusetts to reduce the remaining lease term. As a result of the modification, the Company recognized an $86 reduction in the related ROU asset and operating lease liability. There were no leases that had not yet commenced as of September 30, 2025 that will create significant additional rights and obligations for the Company.

 

In March 2025, the Company vacated a leased 19,436 square foot office in Irvine, California, having a remaining lease term of 2.4 years and in April 2025 the lease was terminated. As a result of the termination of the lease, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $725 to reduce the carrying value of this asset group to its estimated fair value. The resulting impairment loss is included in “Impairment of long-lived assets” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

The following lease costs are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss:

Total lease cost  $588   $564 

 

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities for the years ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $549 and $563, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term was 1.3 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 15.6%.

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.
