Note 16 — Right-of-Use Assets and Liabilities

The Company has signed lease agreements, with the largest being for its office and manufacturing facility in the West Henrietta, New York area under an operating lease that commenced October 3, 2015 and was set to expire on

October 3, 2020. This lease has an original five-year term with an option by the Company to renew for two additional three-year terms at pre-agreed to lease rates. On June 25, 2020, the Company exercised the first of two renewal terms, extending our current lease term to January 31, 2024. Operating lease costs under the operating leases totaled $630,085, $559,975 and $572,767 for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. The leases generally also include real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges in the annual rental payments. Short-term leases are leases having a term of twelve (12) months or less. The Company recognizes short-term leases on an as incurred basis and does not record a related lease asset or liability for such leases.

As none of our leases provide an implicit interest rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine our discount rate at lease inception based upon the information available at commencement in determining the present value of lease payments. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average discount rate was 4.5% and the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.1 years.

Future lease payments under operating leases as of December 31, 2021 were as follows:

2022	$	559,916
2023		546,916
2024		45,576
Total Future Lease Payments		1,152,408
Less: Imputed Interest		(35,386)
Total Lease Liability Balance	$	1,117,022
