Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842, which requires an entity to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach. As a result, the comparative financial information has not been updated and the required disclosures prior to the date of adoption have not been updated and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods.

On April 12, 2019, the Company acquired four office and warehouse leases in American Fork, Utah related to the operation of Verb Direct with an aggregate lease payment of $31,000 per month. Each lease expires in December 2023. In addition, the Company acquired an office equipment lease with a lease payment of $5,111 per month that will expire in September 2021. As a result, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of and lease liabilities for operating lease of $1,282,000 and $1,288,000, respectively. The lessor of the office and warehouse area is JMCC Properties, which is an entity owned and controlled by the former shareholders and certain current officers of Verb Direct.

In February 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement with respect to the Company’s corporate headquarters (the “Original Lease”). In March 2019, the Company elected to exercise its right to extend the term of the Original Lease by an addition 24 months, for a total of 89 months (the “Extension”). In July 2019, the Company amended the Original Lease (the “Amended Lease”; and, together with the Original Lease and the Extension, the “Lease”). On August 1, 2019, the Company took possession of the office space upon completion of certain leasehold improvements. The leased office is located at 2210 Newport Boulevard, Suite 200, Newport Beach, California 92663, on the Balboa Peninsula. The Lease is for approximately 6,700 square feet of new construction space, comprised of approximately 4,880 square feet (the “Initial Premises”) and approximately 1,850 square feet (the “Must-Take Space”). The Lease commenced in August 2019 with respect to the Initial Premises and the Company anticipates that it will take control of the Must-Take Space in January 2020; thus, the Company believes that the total term of the Lease will be for 94 months. The average monthly base rent for the first 12 months of the Lease is approximately $13,000 after rent abatement. For the next 82 months of the Lease, the average monthly base rent will be approximately $39,000. As part of the agreement, the landlord provided leasehold incentive of $572,000 for the construction of the leasehold improvements. Pursuant to ASC 842, the lease incentive of $572,000 was recorded as a part of leasehold improvements and a reduction to the right of use assets. As a result, the Company recorded operating lease right-of-use assets of and lease liabilities for operating lease of $1,856,000 and $2,428,000, respectively.

The adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets of and lease liabilities for operating lease in the aggregate of $3,139,000 and $3,716,000, respectively. There was no cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.
