Leases
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheet unless it is reasonably certain we will renew the lease. All leases with an initial term greater than 12 months, whether classified as operating or finance, are recorded to our condensed consolidated balance sheet based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, determined at lease commencement. Determination of the present value of lease payments requires discount rate. We use the implicit rate in the lease agreement when available. Most of our leases do not provide an implicit interest rate: therefore, we use a weighted average borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date.
Our lease portfolio primarily consists of operating leases for certain, facilities, office spaces and equipment. Our leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 5 years and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. The operating lease asset also includes any upfront lease payments made and excludes lease incentives and initial direct cost incurred. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

In 2014, the Company entered into a five year non-cancelable operating lease for an office in Denver, Colorado. In January 2019, the Company amended its operating lease for the Denver, Colorado office relocating to a smaller office suite and reducing the lease expense for the remainder of the term. The total rent expense incurred under the lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $74 thousand and $175 thousand, respectively. In February of 2018, the Company began to sublease a portion of the office space to a subsidiary of TMG for $5 thousand a month through December 2018 and $2 thousand a month beginning January 2019 (see Note 13, Related Party Transactions for further discussion).
In December 2018, the Company entered into a one year lease for equipment used at our liquefaction plant in George West, Texas. The lease called for monthly payments of $13 thousand through December 31, 2019.
In January 2019, the Company extended its lease for one year for yard space from an unrelated party in Fort Lupton, Colorado. The lease called for monthly payments of $2 thousand through December 31, 2019. The Company subleased the yard space to a subsidiary of TMG during 2018 (see Note 13, Related Party Transactions for further discussion).
The Company leases certain buildings and facilities, including office space in Bellevue, Washington; Houston, Texas; and certain equipment under non-cancellable operating leases expiring at various dates through 2022. M&I Brazil leases offices and facilities in three cities in Brazil that are under operating lease agreements. The leases expire at various dates through January 2022. The assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments based on Brazil’s General Market Price Index rate. Brazil also has multiple short-term equipment leases which are less than twelve months and have no cancellation penalties, therefore they are not recorded in the balance sheet.
