[1] Previously, the assets and liabilities associated with the agreement to sell our interests in the companies that own and operate the FSRU the Golar Tundra to Golar Partners were classified as held-for-sale. As of March 31, 2017, these assets and liabilities ceased to qualify for classification as held-for-sale. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2017 (and for all retrospective periods presented), these assets and liabilities are presented as held for use in the consolidated balance sheets. See note 2.
[2] Included within restricted cash and short-term deposits and debt balances are amounts relating to certain lessor entities (for which legal ownership resides with financial institutions) that we are required to consolidate under US GAAP into our financial statements as variable interest entities (see note 7).
[3] The Hilli pre-delivery debt facility has been classified as current in our consolidated balance sheet. As disclosed in note 25 - Debt in our consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Form 20-F, we have secured post-delivery sale and leaseback financing for the Hilli. However, under US GAAP we expect we will be required to consolidate the lessor as a variable interest entity. Accordingly, the above classification reflects the lessor’s present financing arrangements.
