[1] | Due to the expectation that Skysea Holding will cease business operations by the end of 2018, we do not deem our investment balance to be recoverable and therefore, we estimated the fair value of our investment to be zero as of March 31, 2018.
[2] | We estimated the fair value of our debt facility and other receivables due from Skysea Holding based on the fair value of the collateral of the debt facility, Skysea Holding's ship, Golden Era. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, Skysea Holding agreed to sell Golden Era to an affiliate of TUI AG, our joint venture partner in TUI Cruises. The fair value of the ship represents the net realizable value based on the agreed upon sale price of the ship. The sale of the ship is expected to be completed in December 2018. For further information on the Skysea Holding impairment, refer to Note 5. Other Assets.
