The Company has operating leases for offices and warehouses. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 8 years, some of which include options to extend.

 

The Company’s lease expense for the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 was entirely comprised of operating leases and amounted to $381,075 and $331,875, respectively. The Company’s right of use (“ROU”) asset amortization for the years ended May 31, 2024 and 2023 was $391,125 and $353,797, respectively.
