Leased property included in the Company’s real estate rental operations consists of the following:

 
                 Estimated Useful Life       January 31, 2020
Operating lease right-of-use-assets Lease Terms – 7 to 54 years $         29,384,531
Accumulated Amortization (1,163,821 )
Operating lease right-of-use-assets $ 28,220,710
          

The initial recording of operating lease right-of-use assets on August 1, 2019 includes adjustments of $10,190,334, net of accumulated amortization, primarily relating to building and improvements included in a ground lease with an affiliate, principally owned by a director of the Company (“landlord”). The ground lease required the Company to construct a building during the lease period. Upon lease termination in 2029, the building and all improvements will be turned over to the landlord as property owner.

Until this lease agreement with the landlord terminates in 2029, the Company remains solely responsible for the building, improvements and maintenance of the property included in this lease and is solely entitled to tax depreciation and other tax deductions.
