LEASE LIABILITIES AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

LEASE LIABILITIES AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

NOTE 4 — LEASE LIABILITIES AND RIGHT OF USE ASSETS

We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at inception. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.

Finance Leases

The Company has finance leases to purchase computer equipment. The amortization expense of the leased equipment is included in depreciation expense. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s outstanding finance lease obligations totaled $85,000 and $102,000, respectively. The effective interest rate of the finance leases is estimated at 6.0% based on the implicit rate in the lease agreements.

The following summarizes the assets acquired under finance leases, included in property and equipment, net of disposals:

Assets acquired under finance leases, net	$	85	$	100

Operating Leases

Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. Since our lease arrangements do not provide an implicit rate, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate for the expected remaining lease term at commencement date in determining the present value of future lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company has operating leases for office space in Tucson, Arizona, Marietta, Georgia, Miami Beach, Florida, and New York, New York. The lease for the principal office located in Tucson consists of approximately 5,200 square feet and ends in October 2022. The lease for the Marietta office, which consists of approximately 6,700 square feet, commenced in June 2019 and expires in August 2024. The lease for the Miami Beach office, which consists of approximately 2,739 square feet, commenced in October 2021 and will expire in May 2024.

The Company entered into a lease agreement for new office space in New York, New York, consisting of approximately 5,000 square feet. The new lease commenced in January 2022 and will expire in December 2026. Upon commencement of the new lease, we recorded a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability of $876,000.

In addition, the Company entered into membership agreements to occupy shared office space in Austin, Texas, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington. The membership agreements do not qualify as a lease under ASC 842, therefore the Company expenses membership fees as they are incurred. See Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details on our shared office arrangements.

The Company made operating lease payments in the amount of $132,000 and $65,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
