Certain of these assets are the subject of sale-leaseback arrangements with Crestmark Equipment Finance (“Crestmark”). The increase in operating project assets at January 31, 2024, compared to October 31, 2023, is a result of the inclusion of the Toyota Project and the Derby Projects, all of which became operational during the three months ended January 31, 2024.
