8. Leases

 

The Company’s real estate lease for the use of office space was subleased during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Lease assets and liabilities are recognized upon commencement of the lease based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company’s current lease is a long-term operating lease with a remaining fixed payment term of 1.75 years.
