Leases [Abstract]  
Leases Leases
    Our leases principally consist of operating leases related to our corporate office, field offices, and our research, manufacturing, and storage facilities. Effective December 19, 2023, we entered into a master finance lease agreement for motor vehicles.
At inception, we determine if an arrangement constitutes a lease and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease. Some of our lease agreements contain lease components (e.g. minimum rent payments) and non-lease components (e.g. maintenance, labor charges, etc.). We account for each component separately based on the estimated standalone price of each component.
Operating Leases
Operating leases are included in Right-of-use assets - operating leases, Operating lease obligations, current portion and Operating lease obligations, net of current portion, on the consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term and using an incremental borrowing rate consistent with the lease terms or implicit rates, when readily determinable. For those leases where it is reasonably certain at the commencement date that we will exercise the option to extend the lease, then the lease term will include the lease extension term. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of 12 months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet.
On March 31, 2023, we entered into two lease agreements for two adjacent buildings, located in North Billerica, Massachusetts, containing approximately 26,412 square feet of manufacturing, storage and office space to serve as our headquarters and manufacturing facilities. The lease agreements provide for initial lease terms of five (5) years with two successive options to renew for additional terms of five (5) years. Both leases commenced on January 1, 2024 and require payment of the base rent, real estate taxes, common maintenance expenses and aggregate deposits of $38,200. Our costs for initial improvements required to the leased premises is estimated to range between $1,125,000 and $1,175,000. As of March 31,
2025 we have expended $1,117,116 on the required improvements at our North Billerica facility.The estimated straight-line monthly rent expense for the initial term of the lease is approximately $26,962 per month. In accordance with ASC 842-20-30-1, we recorded the lease liability and right-of-use asset using the discount rate for the lease upon the lease commencement date, January 1, 2024.
On January 1, 2024 we extended the lease for our 2,800 square foot Valley Stream, NY service center for an additional three (3) years through December 31, 2026, with an option to renew for an additional term of three (3) years. The straight-line base monthly rent for the extension is $4,560 per month. On February 1, 2024 we entered into a lease agreement for 2,063 square feet of office and storage space in East Syracuse, New York for an initial lease term of three (3) years, expiring on January 31, 2027, with an option for an additional lease term of two (2) years. The straight-line base monthly rent for the initial lease term is $1,891 per month. On June 17, 2024, we extended our lease for our 1,751 square foot Hayward, CA service center for an additional three (3) years through July 31, 2027. The straight-line monthly rent for the extension is $3,662 per month. On January 15, 2025 we entered into a lease agreement for 2,969 square feet of office and storage space in Easton, MA for an initial term of five (5) years, expiring on January 31, 2030, with an option for an additional lease term of five (5) years. The straight-line base monthly rent for the initial lease term is $2,324 per month. On April 30, 2025 we extended the term of our Windsor, CT service facility for an additional two (2) years through March 31, 2027, effective April 1, 2025, for 2,000 square feet of office and storage space, with an option for an additional lease term of two (2) years. The straight-line base monthly rent for the initial lease term is $1,850 per month.
The lease on our former headquarters located in Waltham, Massachusetts which consisted of approximately 43,000 square feet of manufacturing, storage and office space, expired on April 30, 2024. The base monthly rent in 2024 was $44,254.
