NOTE 8 – LEASES

We lease office space in Scottsdale, AZ and Atlanta, GA under contracts we classify as operating leases. None of our leases are financing leases. The Scottsdale lease was extended through 2029 and does not include a renewal option. This extension resulted in an increase to our right of use assets on the consolidated balance sheet by $738,459 during the year ended March 31, 2024. We terminated our lease agreement in Marietta, GA during the year ended March 31, 2024 and decreased our right of use asset and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet by $38,185.

Consolidated lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2025 was $656,674 including $653,420 of operating lease expense and $3,255 of other lease associated expenses such as association dues, taxes, utilities, and other month to month rentals. Consolidated lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2024 was $663,826 including $642,105 of operating lease expense and $21,722 of other lease associated expenses such as association dues, taxes, utilities, and other month to month rentals. Consolidated lease expense for the year ended March 31, 2023 was $881,171 including $861,777 of operating lease expense and $19,394 of other lease associated expenses such as association dues, taxes, utilities, and other month to month rentals.

The weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases were 3.1 years and 10.0%, respectively, at March 31, 2025 and were 4.0 years and 10.0%, respectively, at 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.
