* Given the announcement during the period of a negative Final Investment Decision from the Douglas Channel Project consortium, we reassessed the recoverability of the loan and accrued interest receivables from the Douglas Channel LNG Assets Partnership ("DCLAP") and concluded that DCLAP would not have the means to satisfy its obligations under the loan. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $7.6 million in 2016.
