On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU required us to prospectively change the classification of our finance lease payments on the income statement. As a result, during 2019, we classified the interest component of our finance lease payments as cash paid for interest since it was included in interest expense on the income statement. However, prior to our adoption of Topic 842, the interest component was not considered cash paid for interest since it was not included in interest expense on the income statement. See Note 12, Leases, for more information on Topic 842 and our finance leases.


⁽²⁾	See Note 3, Related Parties, for more information on these transactions.

The amount transferred includes a $13.4 million receivable for distributions approved and recorded in December 2016.
