Operating Leases

The Company has operating leases for real estate in the United States and South Africa and does not have any finance leases.

 

In 2019, the Company had entered into a real estate lease for office space in Andover, Massachusetts.  In August 2021, the lease was amended to include additional space and extend the term of the existing space by one year. The new lease expiration date is February 29, 2028.  The base rent is approximately $0.02 million per month. 

 

The Company leases office and warehouse space in South Africa that expires in December 2024. The base rent is approximately $0.07 million per month.

 

The Company leases warehouse and manufacturing space in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The lease expires on July 31, 2025. The base rent is approximately $0.01 million per month.  In November 2021, the Company entered into a lease which commenced in August 2022.  The lease expires on July 31, 2027.  The base rent is approximately $0.02 million per month.  The Company sub-leases the former Fort Wayne facility which commenced in August 2022.  The amount received from the sub-lease is immaterial.

 

The Company also leases office space in Las Vegas, Nevada, which expires on January 31, 2027.  The base rent is less than $0.01 million per month. 

 

Certain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew and extend lease terms and options to terminate leases early.
