NOTE 6 - OPERATING LEASE COMMITMENTS

We have commitments under non-cancelable operating leases and other agreements, primarily for factory and office space, with initial or remaining terms of one year or more as follows:

For the years ending December 31:

    Operating
Leases
(in thousands)    
2015 (remaining)   $317
2016   432
2017   492
2018   472
2019   482
Thereafter   655
Total   $2,850
     

 

Of the $2,850,000, $120,000 has been accrued as restructure liability related to abandoned lease space.

During the second quarter of 2015, we amended our lease agreement for the Redmond, Washington headquarters facility. The amended lease moves our headquarters to a nearby building, extends the term through April 2021, lowers the square footage to approximately 20,460, provides lease inducement incentives and lowers the rental rate.  The new lease commitment of approximately $1.7 million will be paid over the term of the lease and is expected to save us approximately $1.5 million of cash compared to our previous lease agreement.  As a result of this lease amendment, the remaining balance of the restructure liability will be incorporated into our deferred rent liability in July, 2015.

During the second quarter of 2015, we renewed our lease agreement for our Shanghai, China facility, effective June 15, 2015, extending the term through December 31, 2015.

During the first quarter of 2014, we renewed our lease agreement for our Munich, Germany facility effective February 1, 2015, extending the term through January 2018 and lowering the square footage to approximately 4,306 square feet.  Effective June 1, 2014, the landlord was able to lease the excess space abandoned as part of Q2 2013 restructure actions to another tenant and the lease was revised to end May 31, 2017.
