Leases

        We conduct retail operations under operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2034. Some of the leases contain escalation clauses, as well as renewal options, and provide for contingent rent based upon sales plus certain tax and maintenance costs. The Company also has a capital lease for a warehouse/manufacturing facility located in the UK, expiring in 2045.

        Future minimum rental payments (excluding real estate tax and maintenance costs) for retail locations and other operating leases that have initial or non-cancelable lease terms as well as the aformentioned capital lease are as follows for the fiscal year ending September 30:
