(1) Given the announcement of a negative Final Investment Decision from the Douglas Channel Project consortium in 2014, 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. (2) The amount for the year ended December 31, 2015 relates to the impairment of the loan due from Equinox in connection with the disposal of the Golar Viking to Equinox in February 2015.
