Operating Leases

The Company has one real estate lease expiring in February 2026. CPS also has a few other leases for equipment which are minor in nature and are generally short-term in duration. None of these equipment leases have been capitalized as the Company elected an accounting policy for short-term leases, which allows lessees to avoid recognizing right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with terms of 12 months or fewer.

The real estate lease expiring in 2026 (the “Norton facility lease”) is included as a right-of-use lease asset and corresponding lease liability (current and noncurrent portions) on the balance sheet. This asset and liability was recognized on March 30, 2024 based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at commencement date. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Norton facility lease comprises approximately 38 thousand square feet. The lease is triple net lease wherein the Company is responsible for payment of all real estate taxes, operating costs and utilities. The Company also has an option to renew the lease starting in March 2026 through February 2032. The Company is not reasonably certain these extensions will be exercised at this time, and therefore are not included in the lease asset or liability.  Annual rental payments range from $152 thousand to $165 thousand through maturity.
