The Company determined the above office space leases and related extensions are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. Therefore, the Company recognized operating lease liabilities with corresponding Right-Of-Use ("ROU") assets based on the present value of the minimum rental payments of such leases.
As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the lease liability is calculated at lease commencement as the present value of unpaid lease payments using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term and is determined using a portfolio approach based on information available at the commencement date of the lease. As of July 31, 2026, the ROU asset was $20,197 and operating lease liabilities were $20,702. The operating lease liabilities consist of a current portion of $20,702 and a non-current portion of $0. The weighted average remaining lease term was 0.33 years and the weighted average discount rate was 4.14%.
Remaining lease term as of July 31, 2026:
Lease Not Yet Commenced
In April 2024, the Company entered into a lease agreement for an industrial facility located in Katy, Texas, intended to house a hydrogen processing plant. Under the lease, the landlord was obligated to construct the facility at the landlord's cost, and the lease term was to commence only upon completion of that construction and delivery of the premises to the Company.
As of July 31, 2026, the landlord’s construction had not been completed, the lease had not commenced, and the Company had not taken possession of the facility. Accordingly, no right-of-use asset or lease liability has been recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as of July 31, 2026. Through July 31, 2026, no base rent, additional rent, real property taxes, security deposit or other amounts had been paid or had become payable by the Company under the lease.
On September 15, 2026, the Company and the landlord entered into a Lease Termination and Mutual Release Agreement terminating the lease in its entirety prior to commencement. See Note 10 – Subsequent Events.
