We sublease a small number of our leased locations to certain of our licensees for operation as BHF network stores. The terms of these leases generally match those of the lease we have with the lessor. In addition, we sublease space in certain closed store and warehouse locations that are still under lease. Minimum future lease payments due to us under these subleases are as follows:
Fiscal 2026 |  | $ | 810 |
Fiscal 2027 |  |  | 245 |
Fiscal 2028 |  |  | - |
Fiscal 2029 |  |  | - |
Fiscal 2030 |  |  | - |
Thereafter |  |  | - |
Total minimum future rental income |  | $ | 1,055 |
Lease Commitments At November 29, 2025, we had commitments for three leases of real property which are expected to commence during fiscal 2026. Together, these leases call for total annual rents averaging approximately $1,105 per year for an initial term of ten years. All three leases have two five-year renewal options. Guarantees As part of the strategy for our store program, we have guaranteed certain lease obligations of licensee operators. The remaining term under these lease guarantees extends for six years. We were contingently liable under licensee lease obligation guarantees in the amount of $4,148 and $5,131 at November 29, 2025 and November 30, 2024, respectively. In the event of default by an independent dealer under the guaranteed lease, we believe that the risk of loss is mitigated through a combination of options that include, but are not limited to, arranging for a replacement dealer, liquidating the collateral, and pursuing payment under the personal guarantees of the independent dealer. The proceeds of the above options are estimated to cover the maximum amount of our future payments under the guarantee obligations, net of reserves. The fair value of lease guarantees (an estimate of the cost to the Company to perform on these guarantees) at November 29, 2025 and November 30, 2024, were not material.
