NOTE 4 — OPERATING LEASES
We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date for new and existing leases in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has moved to a virtual office model and does not have a physical office space. Membership agreements and daily space rentals are leveraged by the Company when groups need to meet in person with the costs expensed as incurred. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $28,000 and $30,000, respectively, related to such space rentals.
Alpharetta Office Lease
The Company entered into a lease for office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, on March 1, 2020. The lease expired on March 31, 2023. At inception, the Company recorded a right-of use asset of $540,000, and related current and long-term operating lease obligation in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of January 31, 2024, operating lease right-of use assets totaled $32,000, and the associated lease liability of $35,000 was included in current liabilities. The Company used a discount rate of 6.5% to determine the lease liability. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had lease operating costs of approximately $0 and $32,000, respectively. The Company paid cash of approximately $0 and $36,000 for the lease in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023, respectively.
On October 1, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with a third-party to sublease its office space in Alpharetta, Georgia, (the “Sublease Agreement”). The sublease term is for 18 months which coincides with the Company’s underlying lease (see below). The Company received $292,000 from the sublessee over the term of the sublease. The sublease did not relieve the Company of its original obligation under the lease, and therefore the Company did not adjust the operating lease right-of-use asset and related liability. The Company incurred an amount of fees and expenses to enter into the Sublease Agreement that were recorded as “acquisition-related costs” for fiscal 2021. As of January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded $0 and $33,000, respectively, as other income related to the sublease.
