9. LEASE

The Company follows ASC 842 for lease accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease exemption and generally accounts for lease and non-lease components separately.

Under ASC 842, the Company recognizes right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent the right to use the underlying leased assets over the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the present value of future minimum lease payments. Because most leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement to measure lease liabilities. Future minimum lease payments primarily include fixed base rent obligations.

The Company recognized lease liabilities, with corresponding ROU assets, based on the present value of unpaid lease payments for existing operating leases longer than twelve months. The ROU assets were adjusted per ASC 842 transition guidance for existing lease-related balances of accrued and prepaid rent, unamortized lease incentives provided by lessors, and restructuring liabilities. Operating lease cost is recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments for common area maintenance, property taxes and other operating expenses are recognized as expense in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

The Company has no finance leases. The Company’s leases primarily include various office and laboratory spaces, copy machine, and vehicles under various operating lease arrangements. The Company’s operating leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately five years.
