(15) Leases

We have operating leases for certain equipment, office space and vehicles. We determine whether an arrangement is a lease at its inception if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases with an initial term of twelve months or less are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. Lease expense for operating leases with original terms of more than twelve months was $357,000 and $289,000 for the three-month periods ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively, and $1.1 million and $953,000 for the nine-month periods ended July 3, 2021 and June 27, 2020, respectively.

Most of our leases include options to extend or terminate the leases which are exercised at our sole discretion. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate to borrow on a collateralized basis, as of the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
