NOTE 17 – LEASES

 

We have entered into various operating lease agreements for certain offices, manufacturing and warehouse facilities, and land. Operating leases led to recognition of right-of-use assets, and current and noncurrent portion of lease liabilities. These right-of-use assets also include any lease payments made, and initial direct costs incurred at lease commencement and exclude lease incentives. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements that require payments for both lease and non-lease components and have elected to account for these as a single lease component. Certain leases provide for annual increases to lease payments based on an index or rate. 

 

The table below presents information regarding our lease assets and liabilities.
