Note 11 Leases

 

The Company has operating leases for its office, manufacturing and warehouse space, and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than two years to less than six years. Certain of our lease agreements include variable lease payments for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and insurance or based on usage for certain equipment leases. For one of our office space leases, the Company entered into a sublease, for which it received sublease income. Sublease income was recognized as a reduction to operating lease costs as the sublease is outside of the Company’s normal business operations. This lease, and the related sublease, terminated on October 31, 2023 and will not be renewed. The Company does not have any leases that have not yet commenced as of June 30, 2024.
