LeasesThe Company leases office space and research and development space in Sacramento, California and Sarnia, Ontario under non-cancelable lease agreements and leases various office equipment, and warehouse space. Certain leases were extended during the period ended September 30, 2023. The lease modifications were not accounted for as a separate contract and we remeasured our lease liabilities and ROU assets on the modification date. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms of one to nine years.

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.
