Commitments:

Leases

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets (“ROU assets”) and operating lease liabilities when it obtains the right to control an asset under a leasing arrangement with an initial term greater than twelve months. The Company adopted the short-term accounting election for leases with a duration of less than one year. The Company leases its facilities and certain IT and office equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. All of the Company's leasing arrangements are classified as operating leases with remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 4 years, and one facility lease has a renewal option for two years. Renewal options have been excluded from the determination of the lease term as they are not reasonably certain of exercise. On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into an addendum with FR National Life, LLC for the Carlsbad, California facility for five years which began on October 1, 2019. Included in cash flows provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, there was amortization of right-of-use assets of $261 and $242, respectively.

Operating lease costs were $108 and $331, and $112 and $336 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $113 and $344 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the incremental borrowing rate was 9.76% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.4 years. The following table summarizes the Company’s operating lease maturities as of September 30, 2021:
