Operating Leases

24. Operating Leases

At September 30, 2018, we were obligated under operating leases covering office and warehouse space and transportation equipment expiring at various dates. Future minimum lease payments required under our operating leases at September 30, 2018 were approximately as follows:

Fiscal period ending September 30,
2019	$	1,951
2020		1,357
2021		485
2022		117
Total	$	3,910

Rent expense under all operating leases was $1,603 and $1,642 for the periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Some of our operating leases contain provisions for future rent increases, rent-free periods or periods in which rent payments are reduced. The total amount of rental payments due over the lease term is being charged to rent expense on the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The difference between rent expense recorded and the amount paid is credited or charged to deferred rent obligation, which is included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
