NOTE 13 — LEASE

The Company’s leasing activities primarily consist of operating leases for offices. The Company adopted ASC 842 effective January 1, 2018. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet. The Company has applied practical expedient to not recognize short-term leases with lease terms of one year or less on the balance sheet.

As of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company recorded right-of-use assets of approximately $0.2 million and $0.5 million and lease liabilities of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, for operating leases as a lessee. Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows:
