Note 11  Leases

 

The Company has operating leases for its office and office equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of less than three 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. The Company does not have any leases that have not yet commenced as of December 31, 2024.

 

The components of the Company’s lease cost were as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
