Operating Leases

Greystone recognized a lease liability for each lease based on the present value of remaining minimum fixed rental payments, using a discount rate that approximates the rate of interest for a collateralized loan over a similar term. A right-of-use asset is recognized for each lease, valued at the lease liability. Minimum fixed rental payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease as costs and expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Variable and short-term rental payments are recognized as costs and expenses as they are incurred.

Greystone has two non-cancellable operating leases for (i) two buildings owned by GRE with a 120-month term, a 60-month renewal option and a discount rate of 6.0% and (ii) the corporate offices located in Tulsa, OK with a 72-month lease and a discount rate of 8.5%. The leases are single term with constant monthly rental rates.

The outstanding liability for right to use assets under operating leases as of November 30, 2024 and May 31, 2024, is as follows:

	November 30,			May 31,
