5. LEASES

The Company leases 9,600 square feet of office space in Hong Kong and 4,900 square feet of office space in Rolling Hills Estates, California for its corporate staff.  In June 2020, the Company extended the Rolling Hills Estates office lease for an additional five years with a term now expiring in September 2030.  Effective July 1, 2020, the Company modified the terms of its largest Hong Kong office lease resulting in 10% monthly lease cost savings and a lease extension through June 2023. The modification will also result in an $831,000 increase in operating lease liability. To help further develop the market for its products in North America, the Company leases 2,400, 1,600 and 2,000 square feet of retail space in Monterey Park, California; Richmond, British Columbia; and Metuchen, New Jersey, respectively. The Monterey Park, Richmond and Metuchen locations have terms expiring in August 2020, February 2021, and November 2022, respectively.

The Company leases eight branch offices throughout China, and additional office space in Peru, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, India, and the Cayman Islands. The Company also leases a multi-purpose facility and factory in Zhongshan, China. The Company contracts with third parties for fulfillment and distribution operations in all of its international markets. None of the Company’s third party logistics contracts contain a lease as the Company does not have the right to access the warehouses or move its inventories at will.

The components of lease cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating leases liabilities was $421,000 and $577,000 for the three months ended  June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $900,000 and $1.1 million for the six months ended  June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate related to operating leases as of June 30, 2020 were as follows:

Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)	6.1
Weighted-average discount rate	4.5	%

As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, or the rate of each of its subsidiaries if available, based on the information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments.

The annual scheduled lease payments of our operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

Remainder of 2020	$	816
2021		743
2022		477
2023		224
2024		193
Thereafter		1,186
Total lease payments	$	3,639
Less: imputed interest		(429	)
Present value of lease liabilities	$	3,210

For all asset classes, the Company elected not to recognize assets or liabilities at the acquisition date for leases that, at the acquisition date, have a remaining lease term of 12 months or less. Additionally, for all asset classes, the Company choose not to separate nonlease components from lease components and instead account for the combined lease and nonlease components associated with that lease component as a single lease component.
