NOTE 11 – LEASES

The Company has operating leases for certain properties for its offices and showrooms and for copiers. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method as of the period of adoption. The Company elected the package of practical expedients upon transition where the Company did not reassess the lease classification and initial direct costs for leases that existed prior to adoption. Additionally, the Company did not reassess contracts entered into prior to adoption to determine whether the arrangement was or contained a lease. At January 1, 2019, the Company did not have any leases that had not yet commenced. The Company also elected the practical expedient to not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less.

The Company determines if an arrangement contains a lease and the lease term at contract inception based on the terms of each arrangement. The Company’s operating leases contain options to extend and early termination options. The Company will evaluate the terms on a lease-by-lease basis and include options to extend or early termination options when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise the option. For arrangements that are identified as leases and are over twelve months the Company records a ROU asset and a lease liability representing the present value of future lease payments. Under ASC 842, the present value of future lease payments must be discounted by using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if not readily determinable, its incremental borrowing rate. The Company used an average cost of debt of 6.76% as the discount rate for the leases as it is representative of the interest rate that would be charged to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a fully collateralized basis.

The Company evaluates its ROU assets for impairment in accordance with ASC 360. No impairment of ROU assets existed as of December 31, 2019.

The operating lease assets and liabilities recorded on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 are summarized as follows:
