Leases
The Company leases certain office facilities under operating lease arrangements that expire on various dates through 2024. Under the terms of the leases, the Company is responsible for certain operating expenses, such as insurance, property taxes, and maintenance expenses. Rent expense for non-cancelable operating leases with scheduled rent increases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.
Deferred rent as of July 31, 2021 was $2.0 million, $1.3 million of which was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.7 million of which was recorded in Other liabilities, long-term in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Deferred rent as of January 31, 2021 was $2.2 million, $1.3 million of which was recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $0.9 million of which was recorded in Other liabilities, long-term in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Rent expense under these operating leases was $1.6 million and $1.7 million in the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $3.2 million and $3.6 million in the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company, various subsidiaries, and certain current and former officers may be named as defendants in various lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings arising from the normal course of business. The Company may also become involved with contract issues and disputes with customers. With respect to litigation in general, based on the Company’s experience, management believes that the damages amounts claimed in a case are not a meaningful indicator of the potential liability. Claims, suits, investigations and proceedings are inherently uncertain and it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of cases. The Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matters pending against the Company and intends to vigorously contest each of them.
The Company makes a provision for a liability relating to legal matters when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, estimated settlements, legal rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular matter.  In management’s opinion, resolution of all current matters is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position. However, if an unfavorable ruling were to occur in any specific period, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations for that period.
On September 7, 2017, a complaint was filed against the Company in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon alleging breach of contract and violation of Uniform Trade Secrets Act, among other complaints. On September 5, 2018, the case was moved from a state court to a federal court based on the Company’s motion. The Company continues to vigorously defend this lawsuit and believes it has a meritorious defense to the matter. Opal seeks declarative and injunctive relief as well as damages, which Opal claims exceed $50 million. The Company denies all allegations and is vigorously contesting them. Trial in this matter is tentatively calendared for October 12, 2021, subject to the possibility of further postponement as COVID-related delays impact the court system. At this time the Company cannot predict the probability of outcome or estimate a range of possible loss.
