DNA X, Inc. Leases Disclosure
NOTE 6—Leases
All of the Company’s leases are for office space. The Company entered into a sublease for a right of use asset in September 2021 that had sublease income that was significantly less than the head lease payments. On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement with the landlord to cancel the head lease for $260 in consideration paid by the Company to the landlord. On August 31, 2022, the Company derecognized the remaining lease liability and ROU asset. This resulted in a $730 gain on the termination of the lease. The sublease was terminated when the head lease was terminated.

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.
