Leases



Certain of the operations of the Company are conducted on leased premises. The leases (most of which require the Company to provide for the payment of real estate taxes, insurance and other operating costs) are for varying periods, the longest extending to the fiscal year 2031. Some of the leased premises contain multiple renewal provisions, exercisable at the Company’s option, as well as escalation clauses. In addition, the Company is obligated under certain equipment and automobile operating leases, which expire on varying dates through fiscal 2023. At August 31, 2019, approximate undiscounted minimum annual rentals on all such leases are as follows:
