9. Leases

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC 842, Leases. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as both a right-of-use asset and lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset result in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. For finance leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in front-loaded expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

The Company renewed its office operating lease on February 1, 2023, for 24 months. The Company entered into a two-year operating lease for its corporate office space for a total lease payment of $41,625, and as a result a liability and right-of-use asset of $38,701 was recognized on the lease inception date, February 1, 2023. To calculate the liability and right of use asset, the Company utilized a 7.0% incremental borrowing rate to discount the future rent payments of approximately $1,734 per month over the two-year lease term.
