| Unconsolidated Investments [Text Block] | 1 4 . Unconsolidated Related-party Investments In late September 2015, Quality Equipment Leasing, LLC and Quality Companies, LLC (together, “Quality” or “Quality Companies”), our wholly owned subsidiaries, entered into a Portfolio Purchase and Sale Agreement, a Fleet Program Agreement, a Service Agreement and a Program Agreement with 19th Capital Group, LLC (“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 $35.8 million and $49.4 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The net gain as a result of these transactions was $2.7 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Under the Program Agreement, 19th 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. Of the gain amounts referred to above, the Company records such amounts as deferred revenue in the liabilities section of the balance sheet and amortizes the deferred revenue over the expected life of the lease until 19th Capital disposes of the asset. The Company has deferred $4.7 million which is included in deferred leasing revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. 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. As of December 31, 2015, we had invested $2.0 million of the total capital contributions. 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. |
