Note 10 - Leases

Operating Leases. In August 2020, the Company entered into a new lease in Abu Dhabi for land upon which the Company intends to build a facility. The initial annual payments were approximately 1.2 million U.A.E. Dirhams (approximately $0.8 million at July 31, 2023), inclusive of rent, escalation clauses, and other common charges contained in the agreement. Rent payments previously deferred until August 2022 have commenced, and the lease expires in August 2050.

In March and December 2022, the Company served Notices of Termination to its lessor for the Company's lease of land and buildings in Fujairah in the U.A.E. The Company served the Notices of Termination in connection with the Company's intended relocation to a different facility in Abu Dhabi. The Company vacated portions of the leased space in December 2022 and expects to vacate the remaining space in 2023. The first Notice of Termination required that the Company pay an additional amount equal to three months' rent after that termination to enable the lessor to prepare the assets for lease by another party. As a result of the termination, the Company has recognized adjustments to the amounts recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of July 31, 2023. The termination resulted in decreases of $0.3 million, $4.0 million and $3.6 million to operating lease liability short-term, operating lease liability long-term and operating lease right-of-use asset, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2023. The termination also resulted in a decrease in rent expense of $1.1 million in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended January 31, 2023.

Finance Leases. The Company has several significant operating lease agreements, with lease terms of one to thirty years, which consist of real estate, vehicles and office equipment leases. These leases do not require any contingent rental payments, impose any financial restrictions or contain any residual value guarantees. Certain of the Company’s leases include renewal options and escalation clauses; renewal options have not been included in the calculation of the lease liabilities and right-of-use ("ROU") assets as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise the options. The Company does not have any arrangements where it acts as a lessor, other than one sub-lease arrangement.

At July 31, 2023, the Company had total operating lease liabilities of $8.1 million and operating ROU assets of $7.4 million, which are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. At July 31, 2023, the Company also had total finance lease liabilities of $0.2 million included in current maturities of long-term debt, and total finance ROU assets of $0.5 million which were included in property plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation in the consolidated balance sheets.
