NOTE 13 - OPERATING LEASE RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

 

On April 14, 2021, the Company entered into a five-year lease which began on June 1, 2021, for approximately 8,100 square feet of office and warehouse space in Carlsbad, California, expiring May 31, 2026. Initial lease payments of $13,148 begin on June 1, 2021, and increase by approximately 2.4% annually thereafter. The interest rate used to determine the present value is our incremental borrowing rate, estimated to be 7.5%, as the interest rate implicit in most of our leases is not readily determinable. During the year ended December 31, 2021, upon adoption of ASC Topic 842, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $702,888 for this lease. On February 22, 2023, with an effective date of March 1, 2023, the Company entered into a Sublease for a Single Subleasee Agreement (the “Sublease”) with the landlord and a third party for the office and warehouse in Carlsbad California. Pursuant to the Sublease agreement, the third party will be responsible for all of the Company’s lease obligations through May 31, 2026, the lease termination date. The Company and the subleasee have agreed to work together regarding any existing Company inventory in the facility.

 

In adopting Topic 842, the Company has elected the ‘package of practical expedients’, which permit it not to reassess under the new standard its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs. The Company did not elect the use-of-hindsight or the practical expedient pertaining to land easements; the latter is not applicable to the Company. In addition, the Company elected not to apply ASC Topic 842 to arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less.
