Equipment Leasing and Services Segment
 
We routinely enter into leases with independent contractors which we classify and record as operating leases. From time to time we will assign these leases and sell the underlying assets to third party financing companies. In addition, we sell unleased assets in the used markets. Total net proceeds and net gain as a result of these transactions during the three months ended September 30, 2016 were $52.6 million and $1.3 million, respectively, compared to $152.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2015. During the three months ended September 30, 2016 the majority of the net proceeds and net gains are from the sale of unleased equipment in the used markets. We had no sales of leased equipment to our third party financing provider, under our agreement with the provider, for use by independent contractors. The $1.3 million of net operating loss reported under the equipment leasing and services segment for the three months ended September 30, 2016 includes $1.3 million in gains recorded on a net basis for such period, less operating expenses associated with this segment.
 
 
We have recorded leased revenue equipment held for sale on our consolidated balance sheet of $18.0 million. As of September 30, 2016, these assets were under lease with an independent contractor or fleet and our equipment leasing and services segment has a plan to sell these leased assets in their current
condition to a third party purchaser and are currently marketing these units at a reasonable price compared to their fair value. We believe the sale of these units is probable within one year.
 
We have recorded equipment held for sale of $29.0 million on our consolidated balance sheet. These units are not currently operating in the Celadon fleet, nor are they under a current lease with an independent contractor or fleet. Our equipment leasing and services segment plans to sell these assets in their current condition to a third party purchaser and is currently marketing these units at a reasonable price compared to their fair value. We believe the sale of these units is probable within one year.
 
We have recorded leased equipment on our consolidated balance sheet of $111.5 million. Our leasing and services segment leases this equipment to independent contractors and fleets. Assets in this balance that were previously classified as a current asset have changed classification due to a change in relationships with our third party leasing providers. Consistent with the June 30, 2016 quarter, we have reevaluated this equipment and no longer believe it is probable that these assets will be sold within the next year. Included in this balance is approximately $59 million of assets for which we received $45.0 million in proceeds from 19
th
Capital. 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. Upon completion of the underlying leases we are entitled to receive the remaining portion of the sales proceeds which is $15.4 million.
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. The remainder of the assets are currently under lease with an independent contractor or fleet or are open to be leased to an independent contractor or fleet.
 
 
We have recorded in assets on our consolidated balance sheet an amount that represents advances made to our third party financing provider relating to our lease shortfall advance arrangement. These advances are for shortfalls between the required lease payments and the amount actually collected from the independent contractor or fleet. The financing provider is required to reimburse us for these advances and, accordingly, we have accounted for the related receivable under other assets on our consolidated balance sheet, in the amount of $31.9 million as of September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016.
 
We entered into a
Letter Agreement Regarding Additional Reserve Account Contributions on December 29, 2015 with our third party financing provider which makes us responsible for an additional $2.5 million of reserve funds to the extent that we are unable to recoup this amount from the reseating of trucks and sale proceeds for trucks pursuant to our agreements with the financing provider. We have evaluated this contingency under ASC 450 – Contingencies and believe that it is not probable that we will incur this amount at this time and, therefore, have not reserved this amount.
