Note 5. Leases

The Company has real property operating leases for office and manufacturing space. Operating leases for the Company’s personal property consist of leases for office equipment, vehicles, forklifts and storage tanks for bulk gases. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (ROU) asset and a lease liability for operating leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments. Lease expense for the Company’s operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including renewal periods that are considered reasonably certain. The Company has not elected to recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less.

The Company has finance leases for equipment used throughout its office and manufacturing facilities. The Company recognizes an ROU asset and a lease liability for finance leases based on the net present value of future minimum lease payments.

Lease expense for the Company’s finance leases is comprised of the amortization of the ROU asset and interest expense recognized based on the effective interest method.

Variable lease expense is related to certain of the Company’s real property leases and personal property leases, and it generally consists of property tax and insurance components that are for the benefit of the lessor (real property leases) and variable overage fees (personal property leases) that are remitted as part of the Company’s lease payments.
