parties of land we have decided no longer meets our development criteria.criteria and (4) sales of commercial and retail properties generally located at our City Living buildings. In general, our performance obligation for each of these land sales is fulfilled upon the delivery of the land, which generally coincides with the receipt of cash consideration from the counterparty. For land sale transactions that contain repurchase options, revenues and related costs are not recognized until the repurchase option expires. In addition, when we sell land to a joint venture in which we retain an interest, we do not recognize revenue or gains on the sale to the extent of our retained interest in such joint venture.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires an entityOur objective in entering into derivative transactions is to manage our exposure to interest rate movements associated with certain variable rate debt. We recognize derivatives as either assets andor liabilities on the balance sheet forand measures those instruments at fair value.

Since all of our derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges, the rights and obligations created by leased assets and provide additional disclosures. In July 2018,entire change in the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, “Leases: Targeted Improvements” (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides an entity with the option to apply the transition provisionsfair value of the new standard at its adoption date instead of at its earliest comparative period presented. ASU 2018-11 also provides an entity with a practical expedient that permits lessors to not separate nonlease components fromderivative included in the associated lease component if certain conditions are met. ASU 2016-02, as amended by ASU 2018-11, became effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2019, and we adopted the new standard using a modified retrospective approach. The prior year period was not recast and our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2019 does not reflect any changes resulting from the adoption of the new standard. We elected to apply the transition provisions that allow us to carry forward our historical assessment of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification,hedge effectiveness is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, we electedsubsequently reclassified to home sales cost of revenues in the practical expedient that allows lessees the option to account for lease and non-lease components together as a single component for all classes of underlying assets. As a result of the adoption, we recorded a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability of $114.5 million and $118.5 million, respectively, as of November 1, 2019. The ROU asset is included in “Receivables, prepaid expenses, and other assets” and the corresponding lease liability is included in “Accrued expenses” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In June 2016, the FASB issuedcreated ASC 326 with the issuance of ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. ASU 2016-13 will bebecame effective for our fiscal year beginning November 1, 2020, with earlyand we adopted the new standard under the modified retrospective transition method.

In our second quarter of fiscal 2020, we acquired substantially all of the assets and operations of The Thrive ResidentialGroup, LLC (“Thrive”), an urban in-fillinfill builder with operations in Atlanta, Georgia and Nashville, Tennessee, and Keller Homes, Inc. (“Keller”), a builder with operations in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was approximately $60.3$79.2 million in cash. The assets acquired based on our preliminary purchase price allocation, were primarily inventory, for future communities, including approximately 6801,100 home sites owned or controlled through land purchase agreements.

Inventory at April 30, 2020January 31, 2021 and October 31, 20192020 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

Operating communities include communities offering homes for sale; communities that have sold all available home sites but have not completed delivery of the homes; communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions or non-availability of improved home sites and that are expected to reopen within 12 months of the

end of the fiscal period being reported on; and communities preparing to open for sale. The carrying value attributable to operating communities includes the cost of homes under construction, land and land development costs, the carrying cost of home sites in current and future phases of these communities, and the carrying cost of model homes.

Communities that were previously offering homes for sale but are temporarily closed due to business conditions, do not have any remaining backlog, and are not expected to reopen within 12 months of the end of the fiscal period being reported on have been classified asare included in land owned for future communities.

Information regarding the classification, number, and carrying value of these temporarily closed communities, as of the dates indicated, is provided in the table below:

At April 30, 2020,January 31, 2021, we evaluated our land purchase contracts, including those to acquire land for apartment developments, to determine whether any of the selling entities were VIEs and, if they were, whether we were the primary beneficiary of any of them. Under these land purchase contracts, we do not possess legal title to the land; our risk is generally limited to deposits paid to the sellers and predevelopment costs incurred; and the creditors of the sellers generally have no recourse against us. At April 30, 2020,January 31, 2021, we determined that 131218 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $2.15$2.31 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $171.2$193.0 million, were VIEs, and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts. At October 31, 2019,2020, we determined that 127207 land purchase contracts, with an aggregate purchase price of $2.00$2.31 billion, on which we had made aggregate deposits totaling $149.2$208.7 million, were VIEs and that we were not the primary beneficiary of any VIE related to our land purchase contracts.

We have investments in various unconsolidated entities.entities and our ownership interest in these investments ranges from 15.8% to 50%.
