Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Note 11 – Leases

The Company has operating leases for its office, manufacturing and warehouse space, and office equipment. The Company has a finance lease for office equipment, furniture, and fixtures. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than one year to five years, which include the option to extend a lease when the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. 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 receives sublease income. Sublease income is recognized as a reduction to operating lease costs as the sublease is outside of the Company’s normal business operations. This is consistent with the Company’s recognition of sublease income prior to the adoption of FASB ASC Topic 842.

In June 2021, the Company executed a lease for its new corporate headquarters in Miami, Florida. The Company is leasing approximately 12,000 square feet of office space for an eight year term, which commenced on March 1, 2022. The space replaced the Company’s previous corporate headquarters in Miami, Florida when the existing lease terminated at the end of February 2022. Annual base rent payments are $58.00 per square foot and are subject to a 3% annual escalation. Based on the terms of the lease agreement, the Company paid a security deposit of approximately $117,000, which is included in other assets on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2022 and as of September 30, 2021. The Company does not have any leases that have not yet commenced as of March 31, 2022.

The components of the Company’s lease cost were as follows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021:
