OPERATING LEASES

NOTE 12 – OPERATING LEASES

The Company leases offices space under non-cancelable operating leases, with lease terms ranging between 14 months to 36 months. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Rent expense associated with the Company’s continuing operations for the years ended July 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 was $616,113, $537,262 and $515,010, respectively.

Effective August 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard using a modified retrospective transition method, which allows the Company not to recast comparative periods presented in its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Company to not reassess whether any existing contracts contain a lease, to not reassess historical lease classification as operating or finance leases, and to not reassess initial direct costs. The Company has not elected the practical expedient to use hindsight to determine the lease term for its leases at transition. The Company combines the lease and non-lease components in determining the ROU assets and related lease obligation. Adoption of this standard resulted in the recording of operating lease ROU assets and corresponding operating lease liabilities as disclosed below. ROU assets and related lease obligations are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term.
