)  Leases
 
Operating Leases
 
In
June 2015,
the Company amended its original office lease of approximately
6,851
square feet for its headquarters in Livingston, New Jersey. Under the amendment, the Company leased an additional
774
square feet of rentable area of the building and extended the term of the lease through
January 31, 2020 
at a monthly cost of
$12,522.
The Company has an option to further extend the term of the lease, however, this option was
not
included in the determination of the lease’s right-of-use asset or lease liability. Per the terms of the lease agreement, the Company does
not
have a residual value guarantee. The Company will also be required to pay its proportionate share of certain operating costs and property taxes applicable to the leased premises in excess of new base year amounts. These costs are considered to be variable lease payments and are
not
included in the determination of the lease’s right-of-use asset or lease liability. 
 
In
August 2019,
the Company made the decision to
not
renew the existing office lease and instead signed a
seven
(
7
) year lease in a new facility (the “Roseland Facility”). The new facility is located in Roseland, New Jersey,  the monthly lease payment is 
$9,275
commencing
April 1,
2020.The
Company is also responsible for electric charge equal to
$2.00
per square foot which is equal to
$11,130
annually, which shall be paid in equal monthly installments of
$927.50.
 The Company will also be required to pay its proportionate share of certain operating costs and property taxes applicable to the leased premises in excess of new base year amounts.
 
The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing its right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities:
 
 
As the Company’s leases do
not
provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the lease payments. The Company has utilized its incremental borrowing rate based on the long-term borrowing costs of comparable companies in the Medical Device industry.
 
Since the Company elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single combined lease component, all contract consideration was allocated to the combined lease component.
 
The expected lease terms include non-cancellable lease periods. Renewal option periods are
not
included in the determination of the lease terms as they were
not
reasonably certain to be exercised.
  
The components of lease expense as of
September 30, 2019
