The Company is party to several operating leases, the majority of which are related to office, warehouse and manufacturing space. The related operating lease assets and obligations are reflected within right-of-use assets, net, current operating lease obligations and long-term operating lease obligations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease expense for these leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with variable lease payments recognized in the period those payments are incurred.

The lease costs for these operating leases reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, as well as the right-of-use assets, net obtained during these periods in exchange for operating lease liabilities, are as follows:


Year Ended September 30,	2022		2021
Lease costs within cost of sales	$	905	$	795
Lease costs within operating expenses		1,406		1,542
Right-of-use assets, net obtained in exchange for operating lease liabilities		3,068		1,073

In addition, the Company periodically enters into other short-term operating leases, generally with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are not recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the related lease expense is immaterial for fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020.

The Company often has options to renew lease terms, with the exercise of lease renewal options generally at the Company’s sole discretion. In addition, certain lease arrangements may be terminated prior to their original expiration date at our discretion. We evaluate renewal and termination options at the lease commencement date to determine if we are reasonably certain to exercise the option on the basis of economic factors. The discount rate implicit within our leases is generally not determinable and, therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the basis for its discount rate. The weighted average remaining lease term for our operating leases and the weighted average discount rate used to measure our operating leases were as follows:


As of September 30,	2022			2021
Weighted average remaining lease term		3.9 yrs.			3.6 yrs.
Average discount rate		3.5	%		3.2	%
