Leases Under the Smart Windows Division
The Smart Windows division operating segment leases and subleases various office and laboratory spaces under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through fiscal 2027, certain of which contain renewal provisions. These renewal provisions are not reasonably certain to be exercised and therefore are not factored into the determination of lease payments. The Smart Windows division operating segment has no lease agreements that are classified as finance leases.
In March 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Hudson 11601 Wilshire, LLC, to lease 3,500 square feet of office space located in Los Angeles, California. The lease term is 39 months and expires on June 30, 2024. In April 2024, the Company entered into the first amendment for the Hudson lease to revise the payment schedule for the remaining lease term expiring on June 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Company entered into the second amendment in June 2024 to extend the lease term. The second amended lease expires in September 2027. The Company recorded a right-of-use asset of approximately $0.6 million and lease liabilities of approximately $0.6 million related to the first and second amended lease agreements.
Leases Under the Fiber Optics Group
The Fiber Optics group leases various offices, storage spaces, and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. These leases have expiration dates through fiscal 2026. Certain leases include renewal options; however, these renewal options are not considered reasonably certain to be exercised and are therefore excluded from the calculation of lease payments. The Fiber Optics group does not have any lease agreements classified as finance leases.
In August 2024, the Company entered into a month-to-month lease agreement with PWR LLC to sublease a portion of it's Burnham Lease located at 12627 S 182nd Pl, Gilbert, Arizona. The sublease agreement is set on a rolling 30-day renewal basis, allowing either party to terminate the agreement with a 30-day notice. The Company recorded $7,900 in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease practical expedient in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, the Company has chosen not to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, lease payments for these short-term leases are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
