9. LEASES

The Company leases an approximately 28,000 square foot facility located in Rancho Cordova, California for its corporate offices and in-house manufacturing. The lease was renewed in the first quarter of 2019 and is accounted for as an operating lease. The lease expires in May 2024.

Operating Leases

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we use the Company’s cost of capital based on existing debt instruments. Our material leases typically contain rent escalations over the lease term. We recognize expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The following summarizes the Company’s operating leases:
