NOTE 5: LEASES

 

We lease facilities in Irvine, California and Mexicali, Mexico.

 

As of August 31, 2025, we had approximately 22,000 square feet of floor space at its corporate headquarters at 17571 Von Karman Avenue in Irvine, California. This facility includes administration, research and development, certain manufacturing, shipping and inventory storage. The lease for its headquarters expires in August 2026. We have the option to extend the lease for an additional five-year term. We made a security deposit of approximately $22,000.

 

In November 2016, Biomerica de Mexico, our Mexican subsidiary entered into a 10-year lease for approximately 8,100 square feet of manufacturing space. It has one 10-year option to renew at the end of the initial lease period. Biomerica de Mexico also leases a smaller unit on a month-to-month basis for use in our manufacturing process.

 

In addition, BioEurope GmbH leases a small office in Lindau, Germany on a month-to-month basis, as headquarters for BioEurope GmbH, our Germany subsidiary.

 

For purposes of determining straight-line rent expense, the lease term is calculated from the date we first takes possession of the facility, including any periods of free rent and any renewal options periods that we are reasonably certain of exercising Our office and equipment leases generally have contractually specified minimum rent and annual rent increases are included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and related lease liabilities. Additionally, under these lease arrangements, we may be required to pay directly, or reimburse the lessors, for some maintenance and operating costs. Such amounts are generally variable and therefore not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and related lease liabilities but are instead recognized as variable lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) when they are incurred.
