UNCONSOLIDATED RELATED-PARTY INVESTMENTS
 
19th Capital was established with capital contributions from us (33.33%) and Tiger ELS, LLC ("Tiger") (66.67%), an entity controlled by Larsen MacColl Partners, an unaffiliated investment firm, in exchange for Class A Interests. We account for our investment in 19
th
Capital under the equity method of accounting. As of June 30, 2016, we had invested $2.0 million of the total capital contributions and recorded $0.3 million of investment income. In addition to the Company’s ownership, certain members of Celadon’s management own a membership interest in 19
th
Capital, issued in the form of Class B Interests, which begin to participate in equity value after 100% of the capital invested in 19th Capital, plus a preferred return of 12% per annum, has been returned to the holders of the Class A Interests. Celadon and Celadon’s management, on a combined basis, have a minority interest in 19
th
Capital.
 
In late September 2015, the Quality Companies entered into a Portfolio Purchase and Sale Agreement, a Fleet Program Agreement, a Service Agreement, and a Program Agreement with 19th Capital. Under the Portfolio Purchase and Sale Agreement, 19th Capital purchased portfolios of Quality's independent contractor leases and associated assets. The net sales proceeds of units total $58.8 million for the year ended June 30, 2016. The net gain as a result of these transactions was $2.3 million.
 
Under the Program Agreement, 19
th
Capital will finance the renewal and expansion of transportation assets operated by independent lessees. Under related agreements, Quality will provide administrative and servicing support for 19th Capital’s lease and financing portfolio, certain driver recruiting, lease payment remittance, maintenance, and insurance services. The Company records deferred leasing revenue related to its servicing of the lease payments and driver recruiting services in the liabilities section of the balance sheet and amortizes the deferred leasing revenue over the expected life of the lease or until 19th Capital disposes of the asset. The Company has $2.2 million of deferred leasing revenue related to these transactions on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016. The Company has a receivable from 19
th
Capital of $0.8 million for the servicing of 19
th
Capital owned assets under lease. Additionally we have collected $2.6 million of lease payments as of June 30, 2016 that we owe to 19
th
Capital and are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an accrual.
 
In a separate transaction we received $30.0 million in net proceeds from the disposition of leased equipment, with a book value of approximately $37.7 million. Although we transferred title of these assets, we retained certain risks of ownership through a deferred payment stream associated with the ultimate disposition of the equipment at the end of the lease period. We deemed that this transaction did not qualify for sales treatment under ASC 840-20-40-3. As a result, these assets were not removed from our balance sheet, but were reclassified to leased assets, as we retain approximately 20% of the net asset value. We recorded a liability of $30.0 million with the current portion in other accrued liabilities and the long term portion under other liabilities that will pay down over an estimated period of 49 months as lease payments from owner operators are collected and remitted to 19
th
Capital.
