LEASES

NOTE 2: LEASES

We lease land, buildings, and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases. The Company leases office, indoor manufacturing, warehouse, and operating space in Houston, Texas and leases storage space in Mobile, Alabama to house its 3,400 metric ton and 3,500 metric ton carousel systems. We classify our leases related to certain office furniture and computer equipment as financing leases. The Company elects to apply the short-term lease exception; therefore, the Company will not record an ROU asset or corresponding lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less that are not reasonably certain of being renewed and instead will recognize a single lease cost allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. The Company elects to apply the practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components and instead account for both as a single lease component for all asset classes.

Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term on a monthly, annual or longer basis. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised.

The Company elects to not capitalize any lease in which the estimated value of the underlying asset at the commencement date is less than the Company’s capitalization threshold. A lease would need to qualify for the low value exception based on various criteria.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company does not have any subleases.
