Note 4. Leases

The Company has two significant operating leases, one for its headquarters offices in Fairfax, Virginia (the "Fairfax Lease") and one for additional office space in Annapolis, Maryland. The leases both commenced in 2021 and had original lease terms ranging from 37 to 67 months, and rental rates escalate by approximately 2.5% annually under both leases. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. In February 2024, the Company gave notice of exercise of a termination option of the Fairfax Lease effective November 30, 2024 for a fee equivalent to two months rent, in accordance with lease terms. Under lease modification standards, the Company reassessed the Fairfax Lease, resulting in the derecognition of the related lease asset of $165,721 and lease liabilities of $172,140 on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and a gain on lease termination of $6,419 as presented on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of  June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company does not have any sales-type or direct financing leases.

Each of the Company’s operating lease assets represent its right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the related lease liability represents its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date, subject to reassessment upon the material modification of a lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Since the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement dates or lease modification dates in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company’s lease agreements include rental payments escalating annually for inflation at a fixed rate. These payments are included in the initial measurement of the operating lease liabilities and operating lease assets. The Company does not have any rental payments which are based on a change in an index or a rate that can be considered variable lease payments, which would be expensed as incurred.

The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictions or covenants.

The Company does not sublease any real estate to third parties.

As of June 30, 2024, our remaining operating lease had a weighted average remaining lease term of 4 months and a weighted average discount rate of 4.5%. Future lease payments under operating leases as of June 30, 2024, were as follows:

Remainder of 2024	$	40,057
Total lease payments		40,057
Less: discount		(447	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	39,610

The total expense incurred related to its operating leases was $37,106 and $38,053 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $75,825 and $76,106 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
