NOTE 8 - LEASES

We have entered into office space lease agreements, which qualify as operating leases under ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. Under such leases, the lessors receive annual minimum (base) rent. The leases have original terms (excluding extension options) ranging from one year to eight years. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

We record base rent expense under the straight-line method over the term of the lease. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income, rent expense is included in operating expenses under general and administrative expenses. The components of the rent expense are as follows for the periods presented below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Operating lease cost	$	446	$	531
Sublease income	(4)		(5)
Net rent expense	$	442	$	526

For purposes of calculating the operating lease assets and lease liabilities, extension options are not included in the lease term unless it is reasonably certain we will exercise the option, or the lessor has the sole ability to exercise the option. The weighted average discount rate of our operating leases is 10% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The weighted average remaining lease term is five years as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
