Leases NOTE 6 – LEASES

In accordance with ASC Topic 842, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases that extend more than twelve months from the date of the balance sheet. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent our right

to use an underlying asset for the lease term, while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of a lease based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Because the rate implicit in each individual lease is not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments.

In 2022, the Company entered into operating leases for two office locations, including one in April 2022 and one in November 2022 upon the acquisition of SUNation. These leases have remaining lease terms of 10 to 13 years. One lease includes a 3% rent adjustment on each anniversary of the lease and the other includes a fixed annual rent adjustment of $6,840. As of December 31, 2022, total ROU assets and operating lease liabilities were $4,166,838 and $4,182,103, respectively. There were no operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2021. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $212,000 and $0 in lease expense, respectively.
