8.    LEASES

 

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. The Company leases certain office equipment under finance leases. We also lease equipment related to our horse racing operations under operating leases. For lease accounting purposes, we do not separate lease and nonlease components, nor do we record operating or finance lease assets and liabilities for short term leases.

 

As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. We recognize expense for operating leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any restrictive covenants.

  

Lease costs related to operating leases were $28,228 and $26,785 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The total lease expenses for leases with a term of twelve months or less for which the Company elected not to recognize a lease asset or liability was $448,231 and $457,454 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. 

 

Lease costs included in depreciation and amortization related to our finance leases were $36,182 and $33,332 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest expense related to our finance leases was immaterial.
