We lease approximately 32,106 square feet in our Bothell, Washington headquarters. The term of our lease continues until July 31, 2021 with two options to extend the term of the lease, each of which is for an additional period of five years, with the first extension term commencing, if at all, on August 1, 2021, and the second extension term commencing, if at all, immediately following the expiration of the first extension term. In accordance with the amended lease agreement, our monthly base rent is approximately $63,000 at December 31, 2019, with scheduled annual increases each August and again in October for the most recent amendment. We are also required to pay an amount equal to the Company’s proportionate share of certain taxes and operating expenses.

The term of our lease continues until December 31, 2021 with two options to extend the terms of the lease, each of which is for an additional period of three years, with the first extension term commencing, if at all, on December 1, 2021, and the second extension term commencing, if at all, December 1, 2024.

The term of our lease continues until November 30, 2020 with one option to extend the term of the lease, for an additional sixty months, with the extension term commencing, if at all, on November 12, 2020. These extension options are not accounted for under ASC Topic 842, “Leases” because we are not reasonably certain we will enter into the renewal options in their current terms and the current term is less than 12 months. With adequate notice prior to expiration of the option notice period, we have the right to purchase the premises for a purchase price that is mutually acceptable to landlord and tenant as agreed to by the parties on or before the expiration of the option notice period. In the event that the parties are unable to mutually agree on the option purchase price then each party shall obtain, at its sole cost and expense, an appraisal of the premises and the option purchase price will be the average of the two appraisals. For the avoidance of doubt, tenant’s right to elect to purchase the premises for the option purchase price shall terminate upon the expiration of the option notice period, but tenant shall not be obligated to close on the purchase of the premises prior to the expiration of the initial term. In accordance with the lease agreement, the monthly base rent is approximately $15,000 at December 31, 2019, with scheduled annual increases if the term is extended. Operating leases recorded on our consolidated balance sheet are primarily related to our Bothell, Washington headquarters space lease and our Albuquerque, New Mexico, SAVSU, space lease. We have not included extension options in our ROU assets or lease liabilities as we are not reasonably certain we will enter into the renewal options in their current terms. Our Detroit, Michigan and Menlo Park, California lease are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as the term expires in one year or less. Our financing lease is related to research equipment. We used a weighted average discount rate of 6.5%, our market collateralized borrowing rate, and 8.1%, the weighted average implied interest on our leases, to determine our operating and financing lease liabilities, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of our operating and financing leases are 1.8 years and 1.2 years, respectively. We initially recognized $1.3 million in operating lease right of use assets and initially recognized $1.8 million in operating lease liabilities. Through the SAVSU acquisition we acquired $232,000 in operating lease right of use assets and acquired $232,000 in operating lease liabilities. The operating lease costs recognized in the year ended December 31, 2019 were $663,000, which consist of $612,000 in operating lease costs and $51,000 in short-term lease costs, we did not have any variable lease costs.
