Leases Leases
We determine if a contract contains a lease at inception. We have entered into operating leases totaling approximately 154,528 square feet of office and classroom space in Phoenix, San Diego, New York City, Denver, Austin, Tampa and New Brunswick Province in Canada. These leases expire at various dates through April 2031, the majority contain annual base rent escalation clauses. Most of these leases include options to terminate for a fee or extend for additional five-year periods. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company does not have any financing leases.

As of JulyÌý31, 2021, our longer term operating leases are located in Tampa, Austin and Phoenix and set to expire in ten, eight, and seven years, respectively. These leases make up 94% of the total future minimum lease payments.
Operating lease assets are right of use assets ("ROU assets"), which represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Operating lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating leases are included in "Operating lease right of use assets, net", "Operating lease obligations, current portion" and "Operating lease obligations, less current portion" in the consolidated balance sheet at JulyÌý31, 2021 and AprilÌý30, 2021. These assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term. When the lease does not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate of 12% to determine the present value of the lease payments.
Lease incentives are deducted from the right of use assets. Incentives such as tenant improvement allowances are amortized as leasehold-improvements, separately, over the life of the lease term. For the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, the amortization expense for these tenant improvement allowances was $150,387 and $0, respectively.
Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the three months ended JulyÌý31, 2021 and 2020 was $936,737 and $397,238, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
