( 2 ) Leases Operating Leases In June 2015, the Company amended its original office lease 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 had 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 did not have a residual value guarantee. The Company was 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 were considered to be variable lease payments and were 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 for it's corporate headquarters located in Livingston, New Jersey and instead signed a new seven ( 7 ) year lease in a new facility located in Roseland, New Jersey (the “Roseland Facility”), which commenced of January 8, 2020. Under the Roseland Facility lease, rent payments commenced on April 1, 2020 and the monthly lease payments escalate annually on January 1 of each year, and range from $9,275 to $10,898 per month over the lease term. The Company is also required to pay a fixed electric charge equal to $2.00 per square foot which is paid in equal monthly installments over the lease term or $11,130 annually. These fixed monthly payments have been included in the measurement of the operating lease liability and related operating lease right-of-use asset as the Company has elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all leases. The Company is also 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, which are accounted for as variable lease expenses. As of March 31, 2021, total operating lease right-of-use assets were $579,990 and total operating lease liabilities were $612,016, of which $73,596 and $538,421 were classified as current and non-current, respectively.
