Leases
Note 5 – Leases
The Company leases office space in Goleta, California (two locations) and Tokyo, Japan under operating lease agreements. Lease terms range from 24 to 72 months, with certain leases containing options to extend. In addition to fixed lease payments, the Company incurs variable charges for its proportionate share of common area maintenance and building operating expenses under its domestic leases, which are recognized as incurred. One lease is denominated in Japanese yen; the related lease liability is remeasured at the current exchange rate at each reporting date with resulting gains or losses recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Note 4 – Leases
The Company leases office space in Goleta, California (two locations) and Tokyo, Japan under operating lease agreements. Lease terms range from 24 to 72 months, with certain leases containing options to extend.
 
 
In addition
to fixed lease payments, the Company incurs variable charges for its proportionate share of common area maintenance and building operating expenses under its domestic leases, which are recognized as incurred. One lease is denominated in Japanese yen; the related lease liability is remeasured at the current exchange rate at each reporting date with resulting gains or losses recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Aero Camino Office (82 Aero Camino)
- The lease commenced January 15, 2024 with a
72-month
term (including a
36-month
extension that was considered reasonably certain at inception) expiring December 31, 2029.
2025 Lease Modifications
During 2025, the Company exercised renewal options on two of its operating leases:
Hollister Office (6950 Hollister Avenue) -
The original lease commenced August 1, 2023 with a
36-month
initial term expiring July 31, 2026. The renewal option for an additional
36-month
period was not considered reasonably certain of exercise as of December 31, 2024. In 2025, the Company elected to exercise the renewal, extending the lease through July 31, 2029. The Company accounted for this as an operating lease modification effective November 1, 2025.
Japan Office (H1O Shibakoen, Tokyo) -
The original lease commenced March 1, 2024 with a
24-month
initial term expiring February 28, 2026. The renewal option was not considered reasonably certain of exercise as of December 31, 2024. In 2025, the Company elected to renew for an additional
24-month
period through February 29, 2028. The Company accounted for this as an operating lease modification effective November 1, 2025.
At the modification date, the Company remeasured the lease liabilities for the Hollister and Japan leases using the remaining lease payments discounted at the incremental borrowing rate of 9.94%. The modifications resulted in a combined increase to the
right-of-use
assets and operating lease liabilities of $216,358.
