Leases
 
We lease approximately
32,106
square feet in our Bothell, Washington headquarters. The term of our lease continues until
July 31, 2021
with
two
options to extend the term of the lease, each of which is for an additional period of
five
years, with the
first
extension term commencing, if at all, on
August 1, 2021,
and the
second
extension term commencing, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the
first
extension term. In accordance with the amended lease agreement, our monthly base rent is approximately
$63,000
at
December 31, 2019,
with scheduled annual increases each
August
and again in
October
for the most recent amendment. We are also required to pay an amount equal to the Company’s proportionate share of certain taxes and operating expenses.

We lease approximately
106,998
square feet in our Detroit, Michigan location. The term of our lease continues until
November 30, 2020
with
one
option to extend the term of the lease, for an additional
sixty
months, with the extension term commencing, if at all, on
November 12, 2020.
These extension options are
not
accounted for under ASC Topic
842,
“Leases” because we are
not
reasonably certain we will enter into the renewal options in their current terms and the current term is less than
12
months. With adequate notice prior to expiration of the option notice period, we have the right to purchase the premises for a purchase price that is mutually acceptable to landlord and tenant as agreed to by the parties on or before the expiration of the option notice period. In the event that the parties are unable to mutually agree on the option purchase price then each party shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an appraisal of the premises and the option purchase price will be the average of the
two
appraisals. For the avoidance of doubt, tenant’s right to elect to purchase the premises for the option purchase price shall terminate upon the expiration of the option notice period, but tenant shall
not
be obligated to close on the purchase of the premises prior to the expiration of the initial term. In accordance with the lease agreement, the monthly base rent is approximately
$15,000
at
December 31, 2019,
with scheduled annual increases if the term is extended.
 
Operating leases recorded on our consolidated balance sheet are primarily related to our Bothell, Washington headquarters space lease and our Albuquerque, New Mexico, SAVSU, space lease. We have
not
included extension options in our ROU assets or lease liabilities as we are
not
reasonably certain we will enter into the renewal options in their current terms. Our Detroit, Michigan and Menlo Park, California lease are
not
recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as the term expires in
one
year or less.
 
Our financing lease is related to research equipment.
 
We used a weighted average discount rate of
6.5%,
our market collateralized borrowing rate, and
8.1%,
the weighted average implied interest on our leases, to determine our operating and financing lease liabilities, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of our operating and financing leases are
1.8
years and
1.2
years, respectively. We initially recognized
$1.3
million in operating lease right of use assets and initially recognized
$1.8
million in operating lease liabilities. Through the SAVSU acquisition we acquired
$232,000
in operating lease right of use assets and acquired
$232,000

December 31, 2019
were
$663,000,
which consist of
$612,000
in operating lease costs and
$51,000
in short-term lease costs, we did
not
have any variable lease costs. The operating lease cash paid in the year ended
December 31, 2019
