Project assets as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 were $153.9 million and $144.1 million, respectively. Project assets as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 included eight and seven, respectively, completed, commissioned installations generating power with respect to which the Company has PPAs with an aggregate carrying value of $77.9 million and $59.2 million as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019, respectively. Certain of these assets are the subject of sale-leaseback arrangements with PNC Energy Capital, LLC (“PNC”) and Crestmark Equipment Finance, a division of MetaBank (“Crestmark”), which are accounted for under the financing method. Project asset depreciation was approximately $2.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $5.8 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Project assets balance as of April 30, 2020 and October 31, 2019 also includes installations with an aggregate value of $76.0 million and $84.9 million, respectively, which are being developed and constructed by the Company under existing PPAs that have not been placed in service.

Project construction costs incurred for long-term project assets are reported as investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The proceeds received from the sale and subsequent leaseback of project assets are classified as “Cash flows from financing activities” within the consolidated statements of cash flows and are classified as a financing obligation within “Current portion of long-term debt” and “Long-term debt and other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 16. “Debt and Financing Obligations” for more information).
