Finance Leases

 

In November 2003, Avalon entered into a long-term agreement with Squaw Creek Country Club to lease and operate its golf course and related facilities. The lease has an initial term of ten (10) years with four (4) consecutive ten (10) year renewal term options unilaterally exercisable by Avalon. Under the lease, Avalon is obligated to pay $15,000 in annual rent and make leasehold improvements of $150,000 per year. Amounts expended by Avalon for leasehold improvements during a given year in excess of $150,000 will be carried forward and applied to future leasehold improvement obligations. Based upon the amount of leasehold improvements already made, Avalon expects to exercise all its remaining renewal options. At March 31, 2026 there were approximately 27.6 years remaining on the golf course and related facilities finance lease. At December 31, 2025 there were approximately 27.8 years remaining on the golf course and related facilities finance lease. The net asset value of finance leases, excluding leasehold improvements was $1.6 million at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

 

In addition, the Company also entered into lease agreements for a vehicle, golf course maintenance and restaurant equipment which were determined to be finance leases. At March 31, 2026, the vehicle, golf course maintenance and restaurant equipment have remaining lease terms ranging from less than 1 year to 5.0 years. The weighted average remaining lease term on the vehicles and equipment leases was approximately 3.6 years and 3.8 years at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
