As Lessee

The Company has elected not to record operating right-of-use assets or operating lease liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet for leases having a minimum term of 12 months or less.  Such leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Variable lease payments are excluded from the measurement of operating right-of-use assets and operating liabilities and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.  As of September 30, 2021, the Company has two operating right-of use assets related to leased facilities in Austin, Texas and Melbourne, Florida.   

Maturities of the operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

As Lessor

The Company leases equipment to customers primarily for minimum terms of six months or less.  The majority of the Company’s rental revenue is generated from its marine-based wireless seismic data acquisition system.        

All of the Company’s leasing arrangements as lessor are classified as operating leases except for one sales-type lease.  See Note 7 for more information on the Company’s sales-type lease.

The Company regularly evaluates the collectability of its lease receivables on a lease by lease basis.  The evaluation primarily consists of reviewing past due account balances and other factors such as the credit quality of the customer, historical trends of the customer and current economic conditions.  The Company suspends revenue recognition when the collectability of amounts due are no longer probable and concurrently records a direct write-off of the lease receivable to rental revenue to limit rental revenue recognized to the cash collections received.  As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s trade accounts receivables included lease receivables of $7.5 million.

Rental revenue for fiscal years 2021 and 2020 was $19.0 million and $53.7 million, respectively.  

At September 30, 2021, future minimum lease obligations due from the Company’s leasing customers on operating leases (all in fiscal year 2022) were $0.8 million.
