LEASES

We have entered into various non-cancellable operating and finance lease agreements for certain of our offices, manufacturing, technology, sales support and service centers, equipment, and vehicles. We determine if an arrangement is a lease, or contains a lease, at inception and record the leases in our financial statements upon lease commencement, which is the date when the underlying asset is made available for use by the lessor. Our lease terms may include one or more options to extend the lease terms, for periods from one year to 20 years, when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. As of March 28, 2020, one option to extend the lease was recognized as a right-of-use ("ROU") asset, and a lease liability. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, and non-lease components are accounted for separately and not included in our leased assets and corresponding liabilities. We have elected not to present short-term leases on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as these leases have a lease term of 12 months or less at lease inception.

Operating leases are included in operating ROU assets, current operating lease liabilities and non current operating lease liabilities, and finance leases are in included in property, plant and equipment, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. As of March 28, 2020, our finance leases are not material.

Pursuant to ASC No. 840, Leases ("ASC 840"), for lessee's involvement in asset construction, the Company was considered to be the owner of the Building (as defined in Note 9 below) during the construction phase due to its involvement in the asset construction. As a result of the Company's continued involvement during the lease term, the Company did not fulfill the criteria to apply sale-leaseback accounting under ASC 840. Therefore, at completion of construction, the Building remained on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet, and the corresponding financing obligation was reclassified to long-term liability. As of September 28, 2019, we recorded a financing obligation related to the Building of $15.0 million (see Note 9 below). The financing obligation is not reflected in the table above.
