8. Leases

The Company has operating leases for facilities and finance leases for office equipment. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. Right of Use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company's lease term is deemed to include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. ROU assets also include any advance lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. As most of the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments on a collateralized basis. Finance lease agreements generally include an interest rate that is used to determine the present value of future lease payments. Operating fixed lease expense and finance lease depreciation expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company's lease cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 included the following components:

As part of the acquisition of Smarteq on April 30, 2021, the Company assumed an office lease and two automotive leases. The office in Kista, Sweden has 4,080 square feet used for engineering, sales, and administration with a lease term ending July 31, 2023. On the acquisition date, the Company recorded $0.2 million for each of the ROU assets and the lease liabilities. In October 2022, the office lease was extended for 36 months ending July 31, 2026 and the Company recorded a $0.2 million adjustment for each of the ROU assets and the lease liabilities.

 

As a cost saving initiative, the Company separated all 14 employees from its Beijing office in November 2021 and closed this office in the first quarter of 2022. In April 2022, the Company entered into a two-year office lease ending April 30, 2024 for 350 square feet of office space and recognized a present value of the right of use asset of $0.1 for this new office lease. Four former employees in Beijing were engaged through a third-party employment agency and will provide sales and technical support from this new smaller office.

 

On October 16, 2020, the Wang Zhuang Village Committee issued a notice informing PCTEL Tianjin that the Chinese Party Central Committee and the State Council were accelerating the layout optimization and transformation of the industrial park in which the leased premises is located, and accordingly leases and lease extensions for all premises in the industrial park were suspended. As a result of the uncertainty regarding the Tianjin Lease renewal, the Company accelerated its plan to transition all manufacturing in Tianjin to contract manufacturers. In November 2021, the Company entered into a two-year lease ending December 31, 2023 for 1,694 square feet of office space in Tianjin, China for a small team of employees associated with sourcing, quality, and local customer support and recognized a present value of the right of use asset of $0.1 million for this new office lease. The Company completed the transition of antenna manufacturing from its Tianjin, China facility to contract manufacturers during the first quarter of 2022 and, in April 2022, vacated the manufacturing facility and moved to the new leased facility in Tianjin, China.
