In addition, the Company has assets recorded as capital leased assets purchased through capitalized lease obligations. The Company capitalizes leasehold improvements which will revert back to the lessor of the property at the expiration or termination of the lease, and depreciates these improvements over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the assets' estimated useful lives.
