Leases

 

ASC 842, “Leases”, requires that a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from operating leases. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. The Company adopted ASC 842, January 1, 2020, using the effective date method and elected certain practical expedients allowing the Company not to reassess:

 

  · whether expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease;
     
  · lease classification for expired or existing leases; and
     
  · whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842.

 

The Company also made the accounting policy decision not to recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

 

The Company leases eleven medical facilities and one vehicle as operating leases as of June 30, 2026. The Company recorded operating lease expenses of $90,608 and $115,447 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $187,108 and $234,518 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Lease expense includes all rent payments for all leased facilities, including those subject to the Company’s short-term lease election under ASC 842. Under this election, leases with terms of 12 months or less are not recorded as right-of-use assets or lease liabilities, but the related rent expense is included in total lease expense.

 

Only leases that result in recognized right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are included in the future minimum lease payments table below. Short-term leases accounted for under the 12-month election are excluded from the future commitments disclosure.
