Leases Leases
The Company leases retail stores, warehouse facilities, and office space. These assets and properties are generally leased under noncancelable agreements that expire at various future dates with many agreements containing renewal options for additional periods. The agreements, which have been classified as either operating or finance leases, generally provide for minimum rent and, in some cases, percentage rent, and require the Company to pay all insurance, taxes, and other maintenance costs. As a result, the Company recognizes assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms greater than 12 months. The amounts recognized reflect the present value of remaining lease payments for all leases. The discount rate
used is an estimate of the Company’s blended incremental borrowing rate based on information available associated with each subsidiary’s debt outstanding at lease commencement. In considering the lease asset value, the Company considers fixed and variable payment terms, prepayments and options to extend, terminate or purchase. Renewal, termination, or purchase options affect the lease term used for determining lease asset value only if the option is reasonably certain to be exercised.
The following table details the Company's right of use assets and lease liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and September 30, 2023 (in $000's):
