LEASES [Abstract]  
LEASES NOTE 16. LEASES

The Company leases certain equipment, vehicles, office and storage facilities via various operating and financing lease agreements. Our leases have initial lease terms ranging from one year to seventeen years. Certain lease agreements require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, and maintenance, and provide for options to extend the term beyond the initial lease termination date. We use judgment to determine whether it is reasonably possible that we will extend the lease beyond the initial term and the length of the

possible extension. Leases that have terms of less than 12 months are treated as short-term and we do not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for such leases. We generally estimate discount rates using our incremental borrowing rate, and based on other information available, at commencement date of a lease when determining the present value of future payments as most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate.

The Company includes financing lease right-of-use assets in other assets, short-term financing lease liabilities in accrued expenses, and long-term financing lease liabilities in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease expense is recognized, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, as a component of operating income on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. Finance leases amortize the right-of-use assets and amortize the interest on the lease liability over the term of the lease.
