Note 3 – LEASES

As of March 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) using the modified retrospective method of adoption. We elected to use the transition option that allows us to initially apply the new lease standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment (if any) to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. Comparable periods continue to be presented under the guidance of the previous standard, ASC 840. ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for operating leases. For lessors, the new accounting model remains largely the same, although some changes have been made to align it with the new lessee model and the new revenue recognition guidance, ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Our adoption of ASC 842 did not result in any adjustments to retained earnings.

We have both lessee and lessor arrangements. Our leases are evaluated at inception or at any subsequent modification. Depending on the terms, leases are classified as either operating or finance leases if we are the lessee, or as operating, sales-type or direct financing leases if we are the lessor, as appropriate under ASC 842. Our lessee arrangement includes a rental agreement where we have the exclusive use of dedicated office space in San Diego, California, and qualifies as an operating lease. Our lessor arrangements include three rental agreements for warehouse and office space in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and each qualifies as an operating lease under ASC 842.

In accordance with ASC 842, we have made an accounting policy election to not apply the new standard to lessee arrangements with a term of one year or less and no purchase option that is reasonably certain of exercise. We will continue to account for these short-term arrangements by recognizing payments and expenses as incurred, without recording a lease liability and right-of-use asset.

We have also made an accounting policy election for both our lessee and lessor arrangements to combine lease and non-lease components. This election is applied to all of our lease arrangements as our non-lease components are not material and do not result in significant timing differences in the recognition of rental expenses or income.

In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients upon adoption which permits the Company to not reassess under the new standard the Company’s prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.

Operating Leases – Lessee

We recognize a lease liability, reported in other liabilities on the condensed balance sheets, for each lease based on the present value of remaining minimum fixed rental payments (which includes payments under any renewal option that we are reasonably certain to exercise), using a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term. We also recognize a right-of-use asset, reported in other assets on the condensed balance sheets, for each lease, valued at the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid or accrued rent balances existing at the time of initial recognition. The lease liability and right-of-use asset are reduced over the term of the lease as payments are made and the assets are used.

Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses on our condensed statements of earnings. Variable and short-term rental payments are recognized as costs and expenses as they are incurred. Future minimum rental payments under operating leases with initial terms greater than one year as of November 30, 2019, are as follows:

Year ending February 28 (29),
2020	$	3,200
2021		13,200
2022		13,700
2023		14,200
2024		8,400
Total future minimum rental payments		52,700
Present value discount		(4,800	)
Total operating lease liability	$	47,900

The following table provides further information about our operating leases as of and for the nine months ended November 30, 2019:

Current lease liability	$	13,400
Long-term lease liability	$	34,500
Right-of-use asset	$	47,900

Fixed lease cost	$	9,400
Operating cash flows – operating lease	$	9,400
Remaining lease term (months)		46
Discount rate		4.60	%

Operating lease expense was $13,900 for nine months ended November 30, 2018 and was recognized in accordance with ASC 840.

Operating Leases – Lessor

We recognize fixed rental income on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as revenue on our condensed statements of earnings. Variable rental payments are recognized as revenue in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur.

Future minimum payments receivable under operating leases with terms greater than one year are estimated as follows:

Year ending February 28 (29),
2020	$	373,600
2021		1,509,300
2022		1,539,800
2023		1,570,800
2024		1,575,500
Thereafter		10,859,200
Total	$	17,428,200

The cost of the leased space was approximately $10,809,700 and $10,359,900 as of November 30, 2019 and February 28, 2019, respectively. The accumulated depreciation associated with the leased assets was $1,751,100 and $1,233,400 as of November 30, 2019 and February 28, 2019, respectively. Both the leased assets and accumulated depreciation are included in property, plant and equipment-net on the condensed balance sheets.
