Unconsolidated Related-party Investments
 
19th Capital Group, LLC (“19
th
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 19th Capital under the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we had recorded $0.1 million of investment income. In addition to the Company’s ownership, certain members of Celadon’s management own a membership interest in 19th Capital, 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 19th Capital.
 
In September 2015, our Quality Companies subsidiaries (“Quality” or “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. No sales have occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
 
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. 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 $0.6 million of deferred leasing revenue related to these transactions on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016. The Company has a receivable from 19th Capital of $2.0 million for the servicing of 19th Capital owned assets under lease. Additionally, we have collected $1.3 million of lease payments as of September 30, 2016 that we owe to 19th Capital and are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an accrual.
 
In the first quarter of fiscal 2017, in a separate transaction we received $15.0 million in net proceeds from the disposition of leased equipment, with a book value of approximately $22.8 million. Upon completion of the underlying leases we are entitled to receive the remaining portion of the sales proceeds which is $7.8 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 34% of the net asset value. We originally recorded a liability of $15.0 million with the current portion in other deferred leasing revenue and other related lease liabilities and the long-term portion under other liabilities that will pay down over an estimated period of 39 months as lease payments from owner operators are collected and remitted to 19th Capital. As of September 30, 2016, we had $30.7 million of other long-term liabilities and $11.9 classified as current under deferred leasing revenue and other related lease liabilities. The other long-term liability and current portion are inclusive of a similar transaction from fiscal 2016.
