Lease Commitments

 

In 2001, the Company entered into a ten-year lease agreement for its corporate headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts. In connection with this lease agreement, the Company issued a letter of credit in the amount of $200,000 to its landlord. The letter of credit is collateralized by a certificate of deposit held by the bank that issued the letter of credit. The certificate of deposit is classified as restricted cash in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 31, 2005 and March 31, 2004.

 

In fiscal 2005, the Company entered into two capital lease agreements to provide the Company with two pieces of office equipment. Repligen received approximately $33,000 in equipment financing.
