NOTE 6. Leases (cont.)

 

The following table provides summary information regarding the number of operational beds associated with a property leased by the Company and subleased to third-party operators:

 

   2025   2024

   2025   2024 
Number of facilities leased and subleased to third-parties   1    1

Right of use assets and operating lease liabilities are disclosed as separate line items in the consolidated balance sheets and are valued based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments at lease commencement. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the adoption date in determining the present value of future payments. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s operating lease obligation is for one skilled nursing facility. The lease expires on March 1, 2028 and has two five-year renewal options. The lease is a triple net lease, which requires the Company to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements. The Company subleases the building as part of the Indiana master lease. Based on the sublease with the Company’s tenant, the tenant is required to pay real and personal property taxes, insurance expenses and all capital improvements.

 

The components of lease expense and other lease information are as follows (dollars in thousands):

 

   2025   2024 
   Years ended December 31, 
   2025   2024 
Operating lease cost  $397   $637 

 

   2025   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.
