Lease terms

Under ASC 842, the Company is required at lease inception (and if applicable at a lease reassessment date) to determine the term of the lease. This requires concluding whether it is reasonably assured that our tenants will exercise their renewal options contained within the lease. The initial lease term is a key judgment that is utilized in the lease classification test to determine whether the lease is an operating lease, sales type lease or direct financing lease. The Company currently has not included tenant renewal options in its determination of the initial lease term. The Company assesses whether to include tenant renewal options in its calculation of the lease term based on several factors, including but not limited to, whether its tenants' leases represent substantially all of the tenants' earnings and revenues, the ability of its tenants to sell their leased operations for fair value and whether the initial term of its leases is for a significant period of time. Since the formation of the Company on November 1, 2013, the Company has amended or reassessed many of its current leases. All of these reassessments were the result of significant lease amendments and were completed during the initial lease terms and prior to any renewal options. Additionally, Pinnacle sold its operations to PENN for fair value whose underlying real estate for the casino operations were leased from the Company.
