+Added: An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount.
+Added: The impairment loss, if recognized, would be based on the excess of the carrying value of the impaired asset over its respective fair value.
+Added: No impairment losses have been recorded for the years ended August 31, 2022 and 2021.
+Added: At the inception of a contractual arrangement, the Company determines whether the contract contains a lease by assessing whether there is an identified asset and whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of the identified asset in exchange for consideration over a period of time.
+Added: If both criteria are met, the Company records the associated lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset upon commencement of the lease using the implicit rate or a discount rate based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease.
+Added: The Company additionally evaluates leases at their inception to determine if they are to be accounted for as an operating lease or a finance lease.
+Added: A lease is accounted for as a finance lease if it meets one of the following five criteria:
+Added: the lease has a purchase option that is reasonably certain of being exercised, the present value of the future cash flows is substantially all of the fair market value of the underlying asset, the lease term is for a significant portion of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset, the title to the underlying asset transfers at the end of the lease term, or if the underlying asset is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative uses to the lessor at the end of the term.
+Added: Leases that do not meet the finance lease criteria are accounted for as an operating lease.
+Added: Operating lease assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.
+Added: Operating lease liabilities with a term greater than one year and their corresponding right-of-use assets are recognized on the balance sheet at the commencement date of the lease based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term.
+Added: Certain adjustments to the right-of-use asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received.
+Added: As the Company's leases do not typically provide an implicit rate, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate, determined as the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.
+Added: Lease cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are recognized as operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
