The Company enters into leases with certain customers primarily for the TracPhone VSAT systems. These leases are classified as sales-type leases because title to 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 product 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.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected to apply the practical expedient provided to lessors to combine the lease and non-lease component of a contract where the revenue recognition pattern is the same and where the lease component, when accounted for separately, would be considered an operating lease. The practical expedient also allows a lessor to account for the combined lease and non-lease components under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when the non-lease component is the predominant element of the combined component.

The current portion of the net investment in these leases was $3,654 as of December 31, 2023 and the non-current portion of the net investment in these leases was $3,617 as of December 31, 2023. 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 $644 and $764 during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The future undiscounted cash flows from these leases as of December 31, 2023 are:

2024	$	4,065
2025	2,087
2026	1,113
2027	593
2028	166
Total undiscounted cash flows	$	8,024
Present value of lease payments	$	7,271
Difference between undiscounted cash flows and discounted cash flows	$	753

In 2021, the Company began entering into three-year leases for its TracPhone VSAT systems, in which ownership of the hardware does not transfer to the lessee by the end of the lease term. As a result, and in light of other factors indicated in ASC 842, these leases are classified as operating leases.

As of December 31, 2023, the gross costs and accumulated depreciation associated with these operating leases are included in revenue generating assets and amounted to $1,880 and $892, respectively. They are depreciated on a straight-line basis over a five-year estimated useful life. Depreciation expense for these assets was $376 and $360 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Lease revenue recognized was $553 and $537 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in service sales in the statements of operations.

As of December 31, 2023, minimum future lease payments to be received on the operating leases are as follows:

2024	343
2025	25
Total	$	368
