7. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Operating Leases

 

Hayward Lease

 

In  January 2017, the Company entered into a five-year lease (the "Existing Lease") for approximately 15,700 square feet for its principal operating facility located in Hayward, California. The lease commenced during  July 2017. In  May 2019, the Company entered into Lease Amendment 1 (the "Lease Amendment") in relation to the Existing Lease and added the lease of new premises of approximately 13,300 square feet and 21,300 square feet, (“Expansion Premises 1” and “Expansion Premises 2,” respectively). Additionally, the term of the Existing Lease was extended to  October 2029 to be coterminous with Expansion Premises 1 and Expansion Premises 2. The Company evaluated the lease amendment under the provisions of ASC 842. It concluded that the Lease Amendment would be accounted for as a single contract with the Existing Lease because the additional lease payments due to the Lease Amendment was not commensurate with the right-of-use ("ROU") asset granted to the Company. Though the Lease Amendment was accounted for as a single contract, the Existing Premises, Expansion Premises 1 (occupied in  November 2019) and Expansion Premises 2 (occupied in  May 2020) are accounted for as separate lease components. Accordingly, the Company measured and allocated consideration to each lease component as of the modification date.

 

Miami Lease

 

In  November 2024, the Company entered into a 65-month lease for approximately 2,000 square feet for its corporate headquarters located in Miami, Florida, which commenced on  November 8, 2024. The lease contains one five-year extension option, however, as of the lease commencement date, the Company has determined that it is not reasonably certain to exercise the option to extend the lease and has not included the extension period in the lease term. The monthly lease payment is approximately $0.02 million with annual escalation of approximately 3%. Variable lease costs are comprised primarily of the Company's proportionate share of operating expenses, property taxes, and insurance. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities on our balance sheet are based on the net present value of the remaining lease payments over the remaining lease term. As the lease did not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 8% was based on the term of the lease, the economic environment of the lease, and reflects the rate the Company would have had to pay to borrow on a secured basis. The Company recorded a ROU asset and lease liability upon lease commencement in the amount of $0.8 million.
