OPERATING LAND LEASES

OPERATING LAND LEASES

NOTE 7. OPERATING LAND LEASES

The Company is the lessee under operating land leases for certain of its properties. FASB ASC Topic 842, Leases, requires a lessee to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from leases, whether qualifying as an operating or finance lease. As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities totaled $1.8 million, which balances are reflected within other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities, respectively, on the consolidated balance sheets. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the lease payments utilizing discount rates estimated to be equal to that which the Company would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term, for an amount equal to the lease payments, in a similar economic environment.

The Company’s operating land leases do not include variable lease payments and generally provide renewal options, at the Company’s election, to extend the terms of the respective leases. Renewal option periods are included in the calculation of the right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that the Company, as lessee, will exercise the option to extend the lease.

Amortization of right-of-use assets for operating land leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is included within real estate expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization totaled less than $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, with no such expense recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2021.
