RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET

NOTE 8 - RIGHT-OF-USE ASSET

 

Effective from January 1, 2020, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, Leases, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing transactions. The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified fixed asset explicitly or implicitly for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed if we obtain the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the underlying asset. Some of our leases include both lease and non-lease components which are accounted for as a single lease component as the Company has elected the practical expedient. Some of the operating lease agreements include variable lease costs, primarily taxes, insurance, common area maintenance or increases in rental costs related to inflation. Substantially all of our equipment leases and some of our real estate leases have terms of less than one year and, as such, are accounted for as short-term leases as we have elected the practical expedient.

Right-of-use asset under operating leasing arrangements classified under leasehold land as of May 31, 2026 and 2025 amounted to approximately $1.0 million and approximately $1.0 million, respectively. The amortization of the right-of-use asset is approximately $0.07 million and $0.06 million as of May 31, 2026 and 2025 respectively.

 

Operating leases are included in the right-of-use lease assets, other current liabilities and long-term lease liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use asset and lease liability are recognized at each lease’s commencement date based on the present values of its lease payments over its respective lease term. When a borrowing rate is not explicitly available for a lease, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on information available at the lease’s commencement date to determine the present value of its lease payments. Operating lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

The Company adopts 2.0383% as the weighted average incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The weighted average remaining life of the lease was 15 years.

 

The table below presents the right-of-use assets and lease liability recorded on the balance sheets.

The Company excludes short-term leases (those with lease terms of less than one year at inception) from the measurement of lease liabilities or right-of-use assets. The following tables summarize the short term lease expense for the financial years.
