NOTE 18 – LEASES

 

The Company is party to contracts where we lease property from others under contracts classified as operating leases. The Company primarily leases office and operating facilities, vehicles, and office equipment. The weighted average remaining term of our operating leases was approximately 2.91 years at June 30, 2025, and 3.30 years at September 30, 2024. The weighted average discount rate used to measure lease liabilities was approximately 6.56% at June 30, 2025, and 6.54% at September 30, 2024. The Company used the rate implicit in the lease, where known, or its incremental borrowing rate as the rate used to discount the future lease payments.

 

The Company has elected not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

 

The Company’s corporate segment leased approximately 100 square feet of office space in Brooklyn, NY on a month-to-month lease at a rent of $600 per month. Short-term rent expense was $5,400 for the nine months ended June 30, 2025, and 2024. The Company terminated this lease on June 30, 2025.
