NOTE 16 — LEASES

Our Driftwood Project land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 40 years, as well as to terminate the lease within five years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options will be exercised and that our termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, included those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities. Our other land leases are classified as finance leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term for up to 69 years or to terminate the lease within seven years, at our sole discretion. We are reasonably certain that those options and termination rights will not be exercised, and we have, therefore, excluded those assumptions within our right of use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

Our office space leases are classified as operating leases and include one or more options to extend the lease term up to 10 years, at our sole discretion. As we are not reasonably certain that those options will be exercised, none are recognized as part of our right of use assets and lease liabilities. As none of our leases provide an implicit rate, we have determined our own discount rate.
