Leases

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

11. Leases

Related to the adoption of Topic 842, and for leases executed subsequent to the adoption of Topic 842 our policy elections are as follows:


Separation of lease and non-lease components		We elected this expedient to account for lease and non-lease components as a single component for our entire population of operating lease assets.
Short-term policy		We have elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all applicable classes of underlying assets. Short-term disclosures include only those leases with a term greater than one month and 12 months or less, and expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less, that do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that we are reasonably certain to exercise, are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Maturities of lease liabilities were as follows as of December 31, 2019:



	Operating Leases
2020	$	286,807

Less: imputed interest		1,152,720
Present value of lease liabilities	$	2,851,513

As of December 31, 2019, the total lease payments include $2,127,446 related to options to extend lease terms that are reasonably certain of being exercised, and exclude approximately $105,000 of legally binding minimum lease payments for leases signed but not yet commenced and $9,514 of future sublease income.

As previously disclosed in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and under the previous lease accounting, maturities of lease liabilities were as follows as of December 31, 2018:



	Operating Leases
2019	$	294,191
2020		296,579
2021		294,941
2022		295,290
2023		290,980
Thereafter		2,478,397
Total minimum lease payments	$	3,950,378

As of December 31, 2018, maturities of lease liabilities have not been reduced by minimum sublease income of $11,790 due in the future under our subleases. As of December 31, 2018, we had $90,484 of legally binding minimum lease payments related to leases that have not yet commenced.

We have six sale and leaseback transactions, which do not qualify for sale leaseback accounting due to fixed price renewal options prohibiting sale accounting. These transactions are accounted for under the financing method. Under the financing method, the assets remain on the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds from the transactions are recorded as a financing liability. A portion of lease payments are applied as payments of deemed principal and imputed interest. The deemed landlord financing liability was $2,390 as of December 31, 2018, with the current portion of the liability included in accrued liabilities, and the remaining portion included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
