Operating Leases

NOTE 6 - OPERATING LEASES

We lease equipment and office space under long-term operating lease agreements. The future minimum lease payments on leases (with initial or remaining non-cancelable terms in excess of one year) as of December 30, 2017 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

Years Ending	Amount
December 29, 2018	$	1,602
December 28, 2019		554
December 26, 2020		96
December 25, 2021		96
December 31, 2022 and after		64
Total minimum lease payments	$	2,412

Rent expense was $2.3 million for the year ended December 30, 2017 and $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. Certain of our lease agreements may include items such as abated lease payments, capital improvement funding, step rent provisions and escalation clauses that affect the lease payment schedule and do not qualify as contingent rentals. These items have been included in the minimum lease payment amount on a straight-line basis over the minimum lease term. Any lease payments that are dependent on a factor related to the future use of the property have been excluded from the minimum lease payment amount and are recognized as incurred.
