On May 20, 2022, the Company entered into a new lease arrangement for a 62-month term for new office space located in Charlotte, NC.  The Company recognized the operating lease right-of-use asset and operating lease liabilities at the lease commencement date on August 1, 2022.  The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is not readily determinable and the Company does not have a public credit rating and carries no debt.  As such, several factors were considered in the determination of the Company’s incremental borrowing rate used in determining the present value of lease payments.  The Company’s examined credit ratings for similar companies, assumed equivalency between the Canadian and U.S. markets for collateralized debt and used rates near the 62-month period. This resulted in an incremental borrowing rate of 7.55%. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, which is accomplished by increasing the amortization of the right-of-use asset as interest expense on the lease liability declines over the lease term.
