Leases

The Company leases its offices, manufacturing, and warehouse facility in San Diego County under a non-cancelable operating lease. Our corporate headquarters are in a leased space comprising approximately 29,342 square feet in Escondido, California under a lease that was renewed in August 2018 and expires in August 2024.  The Company also leases a 3,208 square foot facility in Salt Lake City, Utah that houses our Ion software development team.
