[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. The fair value of our equity investment in Skysea Holding was estimated as of March 31, 2018, the date of the last impairment test, at which point the investment was fully impaired.
[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, as of March 31, 2018, the date of the last impairment test, adjusted for foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2018. We believe this amount estimates fair value as of September 30, 2018. The fair value of the Golden Era represents the net realizable value based on the agreed upon sale price of the ship, which is expected to be completed in December 2018. For further information on the Skysea Holding impairment, refer to Note 7. Other Assets.
