During the first quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a five-year financing lease for three satellite hubs for its HTS network. As of December 31, 2019, the gross costs and accumulated depreciation associated with this lease are included in revenue generating assets and amounted to $3,068 and $846, respectively. Property and equipment under financing leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments.

The property and equipment held under this financing lease are amortized on a straight‑line basis over the seven-year estimated useful life of the asset, since the lease meets the bargain purchase option criteria. Amortization of assets held under financing leases is included within depreciation expense. Depreciation expense for these capital assets was $439 and $407 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Financing lease expense from continuing operations was $624 and $580 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The financing lease expense includes $14 and $18 of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The future minimum lease payments under this financing lease as of December 31, 2019 are:

2020	$	624

The Company enters into leases with certain customers primarily of the TracPhone mini-VSAT systems. These leases are classified as sales-type leases as title of the equipment transfers to the customer at the end of the lease term. The Company records the leases at a price typically equivalent to normal selling price and in excess of the cost or carrying amount. Upon delivery, the Company records the net present value of all payments under these leases as revenue, and the related costs of the product are charged to cost of sales. Interest income is recognized throughout the lease term (typically three to five years) using an implicit interest rate. The sales-type leases do not have unguaranteed residual assets.

The current portion of the net investment in these leases was $3,961 as of December 31, 2019 and the non-current portion of the net investment in these leases was $6,341 as of December 31, 2019. The current portion of the net investment in the leases is included in accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the non-current portion of the net investment in these leases is included in other non-current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from sales-type leases was $699 during the year ended December 31, 2019.

The future undiscounted cash flows from these leases as of December 31, 2019 are:

2020	$	4,264
2021	3,285
2022	2,171
2023	1,435
2024	562
Total undiscounted cash flows	$	11,717
Present value of lease payments	$	10,302
Difference between undiscounted cash flows and discounted cash flows	$	1,415
