LEASES
(16) LEASES

Arrangements that are determined to be leases with a term greater than one year are accounted for by the recognition of right-of-use assets that represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities that represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Non-lease components within lease agreements are accounted for separately.

Right-of-use assets and obligations are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term, utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company is currently the lessee under seven operating leases and eleven finance leases. These leases contain rent holidays and customary escalations of lease payments for the type of facilities being leased. The Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term, including cancelable option periods which the Company fully expects to exercise. Certain leases require the payment of property taxes, insurance and/or maintenance costs in addition to the rent payments.

The Company leases the following facilities under operating leases:

Delaware – 4,000 square feet of retail space in a multi-use building under a five-year lease that expires in April 2027 that the Company has developed into a cannabis dispensary which is subleased to its cannabis-licensed client.
Delaware – a 100,000 square foot warehouse, of which the Company developed 60,000 square feet into a cultivation facility that is being subleased to its cannabis-licensed client. The lease expires in March 2030, with an option to extend the term for three additional years.
Delaware – a 12,000 square foot premises, which the Company developed into a cannabis production facility with offices and which it subleases to its cannabis-licensed client. The lease expires in January 2026 and contains an option to negotiate an extension at the end of the lease.
Massachusetts – 10,000 square feet of office space, which the Company utilizes as its corporate offices under a lease with a related party expiring in 2028 with an option to extend the term for an additional five-year period.
Massachusetts - a 2,700 square foot dispensary, which lease the Company assumed under a lease that expires in 2026, with options to extend the term for three additional five-year periods through 2041.
Massachusetts - an approximately 33,800 square foot building which houses both a dispensary and a cultivation facility, which lease expires in October 2038.
Maryland – a 2,700 square foot two-unit apartment under a lease that expires in July 2023.
The Company leases machinery and office equipment under finance leases that expire from July 2023 through January 2028, with such terms being a major part of the economic useful life of the leased property.
The components of lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

At March 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease terms for operating leases and finance leases were 10.2 years and 3.3 years, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities was between 7.5% and 13.5% for all leases.

Future minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2023 under all non-cancelable leases having an initial or remaining term of more than one year were (in thousands):

In November 2021, the Company entered into lease agreements for six retail properties, each with square footage between 4,000 and 6,000 square feet, in the state of Ohio (each an “Ohio Lease” and collectively the “Ohio Leases”). Each Ohio Lease had an initial lease period of eleven months, with a minimum rent of $31.00 per square foot, which increased 3.0% annually. Should the Company be awarded one or more cannabis licenses by the state of Ohio prior to the end of the initial lease period, it could extend the term of one or more of the Ohio Leases to ten years (with two additional five-year options to extend) upon the payment of $50,000 for the extended Ohio Lease, which the Company is building out into a medical use dispensary.

In February 2022, the Company was notified that it was awarded a cannabis dispensary license from the state of Ohio. The Company is awaiting the final verification process to be completed by the state. In April 2022, the Company extended the term of one of the Ohio Leases to February 2023 (the "Extended Ohio Lease"), and the remaining five Ohio Leases were terminated. The Company intends to enter into a ten-year lease on the Extended Ohio Lease property, which will become effective upon the completion of the final verification process by the state. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the lease term of the Extended Ohio Lease was less than one year, and the Company was not required to record a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on its balance sheet. Accordingly, the future lease payments of the Extended Ohio Lease are excluded from the table of future minimum lease payments shown above.
