Financing arrangement fees and other costs of $7.2 million and $5.6 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively, arose mainly from ongoing commitment fees as a result of our execution of a $1.125 billion financing agreement to fund eight of our newbuild vessels. The foreign exchange loss on capital leases and related restricted cash in 2012 arose as a result of the retranslation of the capital lease obligations and related restricted cash securing those obligations. The capital leases and related restricted cash form part of Golar Partners and therefore from December 13, 2012, have been deconsolidated from our balance sheet.
