NOTE 5: LEASES
We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. Our lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases for pawn store locations and corporate offices with lease terms ranging from five to ten years and finance leases for vehicles with lease terms ranging from two to five years.
The table below presents balances of our lease assets and liabilities and their balance sheet locations for both operating and financing leases:
