NOTE 7 – LEASES

We adopted ASU 2016-02 and all subsequent amendments, collectively codified in ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“Topic 842”), on November 1, 2019. The guidance requires modified retrospective adoption, either at the beginning of the earliest period presented or at the beginning of the period of adoption. We elected to apply the guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption and recorded, as of November 1, 2019, right-of-use (ROU) leased assets of $6.5 million. In conjuction with this, we recorded lease liabilities, which had been discounted at our incremental borrowing rates, of $6.5 million.

The guidance allows a number of elections and practical expedients, of which we elected the following:

Election not to recognize short-term leases on the balance sheet.

Practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components in a contract.

Practical expedient “package” for transitioning to the new guidance:

Not reassessing whether any expired or existing contracts are, or contain, leases.

Not reassessing lease classification for any existing or expired leases.

Not reassessing initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Our involvement in lease arrangements has typically been as a lessee. We determine if an agreement is or contains a lease on the date of the lease agreement or commitment, if earlier. Our evaluation considers whether the arrangement includes an identified asset and whether it affords us the right to control the asset. Our having the right to control the identified asset is determined by whether we are entitled to substantially all of its economic benefits and can direct its use.

We recognize leases on our consolidated balance sheet when a lessor makes an asset underlying a lease having a term in excess of twelve months available for our use. The present value of lease payments over the term of the lease, which is determined using our incremental borrowing rate for collateralized loans at the commencement date of the lease, provides the basis for the initial measurement of ROU assets and their related lease liabilities. Variable lease payments, other than those that are dependent on an index or on a rate, are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and their related lease liabilities. Lease terms will include extension periods if the lease agreement includes an option to extend the lease that we are reasonably certain to exercise.

ROU assets underlying our leases include the land and facilities of some of our operating facilities, other real property, and machinery and equipment. As of February 2, 2020, we had ROU assets under operating leases of $7.0 million, included in “Other Assets”, and $1.9 and $4.4 million of lease liabilities in Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, and recognized operating lease and short-term lease costs of $1.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, in the three-month period then ended; variable lease costs incurred were not material. The following tables present lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of February 2, 2020.
