Leases

 

The Company has four leases for certain assets including office space and land classified as operating leases with original terms ranging from 3 to 20 years.  The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the agreement based on the terms and conditions in the contract.  The operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized as the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date.  As most of the leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses an estimate of its secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments.  The incremental borrowing rate is determined by management aided by inquiries of a third party.

 

Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.  The Company made an accounting policy election that payments under agreements with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included on the condensed consolidated balance sheet but will be recognized when paid in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The operating lease ROU assets are reflected in other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The current operating lease liabilities and non-current lease liabilities are included in other current liabilities and deferred credits and other non-current liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The expense components of the Company’s operating leases are included under operations and maintenance expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income and were less than $50,000 for each period presented.
