Non-cancellable Operating Leases

 

Optex Systems Holdings leases its office and manufacturing facilities for the Optex Systems, Inc., Richardson address and the Applied Optics Center Dallas address, as well as certain office equipment under non-cancellable operating leases.

 

The leased facility under Optex Systems Inc. at 1420 Presidential Drive, Richardson, Texas consists of 49,100 square feet of space. The previous lease expired March 31, 2021 and the monthly base rent was $24.6 thousand through March 31, 2021. On January 11, 2021 the Company executed a sixth amendment extending the terms of its Optex Systems, Richardson location lease for eighty-six (86) months, commencing on April 1, 2021 and ending on May 31, 2028. The initial base rent is set at $25.3 thousand and escalates 3% each year thereafter on April 1, each year. The initial term included 2 months of rent abatement for April and May 2021. The monthly rent includes approximately $11.6 thousand for additional Common Area Maintenance (CAM) fees and taxes, to be adjusted annually based on actual expenses incurred by the landlord.

 

The leased facility under the Applied Optics Center at 9839 and 9827 Chartwell Drive, Dallas, Texas, consists of 44,867 square feet of space at the premises. The current lease term will expire on October 31, 2021. The monthly base rent is $21.9 thousand through October 31, 2021. Our obligations to make payments under the lease are secured by a $125,000 standby letter of credit. On January 11, 2021 the Company executed a first amendment extending the terms of its current Applied Optics Center, Dallas location lease for eighty-six (86) months, commencing on November 1, 2021 and ending on December 31, 2028. The initial base rent is set at $23.6 thousand as of January 1, 2022 and escalates 2.75% each year thereafter on January 1, each year. The initial term includes 2 months of rent abatement for November and December of 2021. The amendment provides for a five-year renewal option at the end of the lease term at the greater of the then “prevailing rental rate” or the then current base rent rate. The monthly rent includes approximately $7.8 thousand for additional CAM, to be adjusted annually based on actual expenses incurred by the landlord.

 

 

The Company has one non-cancellable office equipment lease with a commencement date of October 1, 2018 and a term of 39 months. The lease cost for the equipment is $1.5 thousand per month from October 1, 2018 through December 31, 2021.

 

Optex Systems Holdings adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 842 “Leases” as of the fiscal year beginning on September 30, 2019. Optex Systems Holdings has two significant operating facilities leases and one equipment lease which extends beyond twelve months and fall under the guidance of ASC Topic 842. Adoption of ASC Topic 842 resulted in the balance sheet recognition of a right-of-use asset of $1.8 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $1.9 million as of September 30, 2019, which represented the present value of future lease payments for the term of the equipment lease and both segment facility leases and which assumed the exercise of a five-year renewal option at the Applied Optics Center as of November 1, 2021. Execution of the new lease amendments for the Dallas and Richardson facilities on January 11, 2021 resulted in the balance sheet recognition of a right-of-use asset of $3.7 million and corresponding operating lease liabilities of approximately $3.7 million during the nine months ended June 27, 2021.

 

As of June 27, 2021, the remaining minimum lease and estimated CAM payments under the non-cancelable office and facility space leases are as follows:
