NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)




1.
ORGANIZATION
Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (the “Company”) is a Delaware limited liability company which, through its subsidiary, Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure General Partnership (the “Partnership”), is engaged in the ownership and leasing of aviation equipment, offshore energy equipment and shipping containers, and also owns and operates a short line railroad in North America, Central Maine and Québec Railway (“CMQR”), and a multi-modal crude oil and refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas (“Jefferson Terminal”). The Company has five reportable segments, Aviation Leasing, Offshore Energy, Shipping Containers, Jefferson Terminal and Railroad, which operate in two primary businesses, Equipment Leasing and Infrastructure (Note 14).
The Company is managed by FIG LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), pursuant to a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) that provides for the Company to bear obligations for management fees payable to the Manager as well as reimbursement of costs and expenses as provided therein (Note 13).
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting—The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2015 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in Form 10-K.
Principles of Consolidation—The Company consolidates all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest and in which it has control over significant operating decisions, as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The ownership interest of other investors in consolidated subsidiaries is recorded as non-controlling interest.
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation. Under the equity method, the Company records its proportionate share of the underlying net income (loss) of these entities.
Variable Interest Entities—The assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE requires judgment. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, and only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
WWTAI IES MT6015 Ltd
The Company has an interest in WWTAI IES MT6015 Ltd. (“MT6015”), an entity formed in 2014 which had entered into a contract with a shipbuilder for the construction of an offshore multi service / inspection, maintenance and repair vessel (the “Vessel”) for a price of approximately $75 million. A subsidiary of the Company and a third party each hold a 50% interest in MT6015 and have equal representation on its board of directors. In connection with the initial capitalization of MT6015, another subsidiary of the Company provided the third party partner with a $3,725 loan which was utilized by the third party partner to fund its equity contribution to MT6015. In addition, the agreement provides the Company with disproportionate voting rights, in certain situations, as defined in the agreement. Accordingly, the Company determined that MT6015 is a VIE and that it was the primary beneficiary; accordingly, MT6015 has been presented on a consolidated basis in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)



At December 31, 2015, MT6015 had total assets of $7,533, which are available only to settle the obligations of MT6015. Other than entering into the above commitment, MT6015 has conducted no operations, and no creditors of MT6015 have recourse to any assets of the Company or to its general credit.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company determined not to proceed with the purchase of the Vessel. The shipbuilder delivered a notice of termination of the shipbuilding contract to MT6015 in July 2016. Correspondingly, in the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded an impairment in its MT6015 investment of $7,450. The shipbuilder has no further recourse to the Company.
JGP Energy Partners LLC
During the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company initiated activities in its 50% owned joint venture, JGP Energy Partners LLC (“JGP”). The other 50% member to the joint venture is a third party ethanol producer. The purpose of the venture is to build storage capacity with capabilities to receive and/or distribute ethanol via water, rail or truck. Each member agreed to contribute up to $27,000 (for a total of $54,000) for the development and construction of the ethanol terminal facilities. JGP is governed by a designated operating committee selected by the members in proportion to their equity interests. JGP is solely reliant on its members to finance its activities and therefore is a variable interest entity. The Company concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of JGP as the members share equally in the risks and rewards and decision making authority of the entity; therefore, the Company does not consolidate JGP and instead accounts for this investment in accordance with the equity method.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company’s investment in JGP was $1,754, which is included in investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities on the Company’s balance sheet. 
Delaware River Partners LLC
On July 1, 2016, the Company, through Delaware River Partners LLC (“DRP”), a consolidated subsidiary, purchased the assets of Repauno Delaware Port (“Repauno”), which consisted primarily of land, a storage cavern, and riparian rights for the acquired land, site improvements and rights. Currently there are no operational processes that could be applied to these assets that would result in outputs without significant green field development. DRP is solely reliant on the Company to finance its activities and therefore is a variable interest entity. The Company currently holds 100% of the voting interests in DRP. The non-controlling interest was valued at $641 at the acquisition date.
Refer to Note 5 for details.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties—In the normal course of business, the Company encounters several significant types of economic risk including credit, market, and capital market risks. Credit risk is the risk of the inability or unwillingness of a lessee, customer, or derivative counterparty to make contractually required payments or to fulfill its other contractual obligations. Market risk reflects the risk of a downturn or volatility in the underlying industry segments in which the Company operates which could adversely impact the pricing of the services offered by the Company or a lessee’s or customer’s ability to make payments, increase the risk of unscheduled lease terminations and depress lease rates and the value of the Company’s leasing equipment or operating assets. Capital market risk is the risk that the Company is unable to obtain capital at reasonable rates to fund the growth of its business or to refinance existing debt facilities. The Company, through its subsidiaries, also conducts operations outside of the United States; such international operations are subject to the same risks as those associated with its United States operations as well as additional risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, heightened risk of political and economic instability, potentially adverse tax consequences and the burden of complying with foreign laws. The Company does not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk as all of its leasing arrangements, terminal services revenue and the majority of freight rail revenue are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Restricted Cash—Restricted cash of $63,891 and $21,610 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, consists of prepaid interest and principal pursuant to the requirements of certain of the Company’s debt agreements (Note 8), and funds set aside for qualifying constructions projects at Jefferson Terminal.
Concentration of Credit Risk—The Company is subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to amounts due from customers on its finance leases and operating leases. The Company attempts to limit its credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company earned approximately

(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)



10% and 11%, respectively, of its revenue from one customer in the Jefferson Terminal segment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned approximately 12% and 23%, respectively, of its revenue from one customer in the Offshore Energy segment, and one customer in Offshore Energy and Jefferson Terminal segments, respectively. As of September 30, 2016, accounts receivable from two customers in the Offshore Energy segment each represented 20% and 23% of total accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2015, accounts receivable from two customers in the Offshore Segment each represented 27% and 25% of total accounts receivable, net.
The Company maintains cash and restricted cash balances, which generally exceed federally insured limits, and subject the Company to credit risk, in high credit quality financial institutions. The Company monitors the financial condition of these institutions and has not experienced any losses associated with these accounts.
Provision for Doubtful Accounts—The Company determines the provision for doubtful accounts based on its assessment of the collectability of its receivables on a customer-by-customer basis. The provision for doubtful accounts at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $434 and $392, respectively. Bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $79 and $134, respectively. Bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $96 and $255, respectively.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)—Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. The Company’s comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss), as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, adjusted for fair value changes related to derivatives accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Derivative Financial Instruments—In the normal course of business the Company may utilize interest rate derivatives to manage its exposure to interest rate risks, principally related to the hedging of variable rate interest payments on various debt facilities. If certain conditions are met, an interest rate derivative may be specifically designated as a cash flow hedge. In connection with its debt obligations, the Company had entered into one interest rate derivative designated as a cash flow hedge and one non-hedge derivative. The Company terminated both derivatives during the first quarter of 2016 when the related debt obligations were paid in full. For the interest rate derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, all remaining net gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income at the date of termination were reclassified into earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
The Company does not enter into speculative derivative transactions.
Other Assets—Other assets is primarily comprised of notes receivables of $22,422 and $19,468, leasing equipment purchase deposits of $10,236 and $7,450, capitalized costs for potential asset acquisitions of $1,795 and $5,473, prepaid expenses of $4,368 and $1,818, and receivables of $13,000 and $0 as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.
Dividends—Dividends are recorded when and if declared by the Board of Directors. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.33 and $0.99 per share, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.33 and $0.48 per share, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements—In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”). ASU 2015-02 amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs and general partners’ investments in limited partnerships and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. ASU 2015-03 should be applied on a retrospective basis, wherein the balance sheet of each period presented should be adjusted to reflect the effects of adoption. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-03 as of January 1, 2016 and revised its consolidated balance sheets to present debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from debt rather than within other assets, for all periods presented.

(Dollar amounts in thousands, unless otherwise noted)



In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated With Line-Of-Credit Arrangements (“ASU 2015-15”). ASU 2015-15 provides further guidance related to the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements.  ASU 2015-15 allows companies to defer and present debt issuance costs as an asset or as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings of the line-of-credit arrangement. The guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-15 as of January 1, 2016 and revised its consolidated balance sheets to present debt issuance costs related to debt drawn under a line-of-credit arrangements as a direct deduction from debt rather than within other assets, for all periods presented.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations- Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize adjustments to the initial purchase accounting that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this update require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has adopted ASU 2015-16 as of January 1, 2016 and the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Unadopted Accounting Pronouncements—In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires that a company recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of this standard by one year, which will be for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. Additionally, during 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Principal versus Agent Considerations, ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which clarify the guidance on reporting revenue as a principal versus agent, identifying performance obligations, accounting for intellectual property licenses, and assessing collectibility, present sales tax and treating noncash consideration. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory (Topic 330) (“ASU 2015-11”), which simplifies the measurement of inventory by requiring certain inventory to be measured at the “lower of cost and net realizable value” and the previous parameters for “market value” will be eliminated. ASU 2015-11 defines net realizable value as the “estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.”  The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires (i) equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, and (iii) separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset. ASU 2016-01 also eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU 2016-02 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Contingent put and call options in debt instruments (“ASU 2016-06”). ASU 2016-06 simplifies the embedded derivative analysis for debt instruments containing contingent call or put options. ASU 2016-06 will be effective fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company believes the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements will be immaterial.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 requires the income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, increases the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification, and allow recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur. ASU 2016-09 will be effective beginning in the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-11, Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). For assets held at amortized cost basis, ASU 2016-13 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however this ASU requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. ASU 2016-13 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15 addresses the following eight specific cash flow issues: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims; (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLIs); (vi) distributions received from equity method investees; (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions; (viii) and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2013-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Payment obligations of $5,321 relating to the non-controlling interest shareholder were classified in other liabilities. Further post acquisition costs of $3,406 have been capitalized and are included in construction in progress, as development has commenced on the storage cavern and warehouse facilities. As of September 30, 2016, Repauno is part of the Corporate segment.

JGP
In 2016, the Company initiated activities in a 50% non-controlling interest in JGP, a joint venture. JGP is governed by a designated operating committee selected by the members in proportion to their equity interests. JGP is solely reliant on its members to finance its activities and therefore is a variable interest entity. The Company concluded it is not the primary beneficiary of JGP as the members share equally in the risks and rewards and decision making authority of the entity; therefore, the Company does not consolidate JGP and instead accounts for this investment in accordance with the equity method. The primary financial activities for JGP relate to member investments and therefore JGP summary financial information has not been presented.
Intermodal Finance I, Ltd.
In 2012, the Company acquired a 51% non-controlling interest in Intermodal Finance I, Ltd. (“Intermodal”), a joint venture. Intermodal is governed by a board of directors and its shareholders have voting rights through their equity interests. As such, Intermodal is not within the scope of ASC 810-20 and should be evaluated for consolidation under the voting interest model. Due to the existence of substantive participating rights of the 49% equity investor, including the joint approval of material operating and capital decisions, such as material contracts and capital expenditures consistent with ASC 810-10-25-11, the Company does not have unilateral rights over this investment; therefore, the Company does not consolidate Intermodal but accounts for this investment in accordance with the equity method. The Company does not have a variable interest in this investment as none of the criteria of ASC 810-10-15-14 were met.
Intermodal owns a portfolio of multiple finance leases, representing five customers and comprising approximately 53,000 shipping containers, as well as a portfolio of approximately 30,000 shipping containers subject to multiple operating leases.

Container Loan #1—On December 27, 2012, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (“Container Loan #1”) with a bank for an initial aggregate amount of approximately $55,991 in connection with the acquisition of a portfolio of shipping containers subject to finance leases. Container Loan #1 required monthly payments of interest and scheduled principal payments through its maturity on December 27, 2017 and could be prepaid without penalty after the third anniversary of the closing of the loan. In connection with Container Loan #1, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) on January 17, 2013 with respect to 70% of the outstanding balance of Container Loan #1 and designated as a cash flow hedge which fixed the LIBOR rate at 0.681%. During the first quarter of 2016, all amounts outstanding under Container Loan #1 and the Swap were paid in full using the proceeds from the sale of the underlying assets, and such agreements were terminated.
Container Loan #2—On August 15, 2013, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (“Container Loan #2”) with a bank for an initial aggregate amount of approximately $21,548 in connection with the acquisition of a portfolio of shipping containers subject to finance leases. Container Loan #2 required quarterly payments of interest and scheduled principal payments through its maturity on August 28, 2018 and could be prepaid without penalty at any time. In connection with Container Loan #2, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement (the “Cap”) on September 20, 2013, with respect to 50% of the portion of the outstanding balance of Container Loan #2, not designated as a cash flow hedge, which capped LIBOR at 2.5%. During the first quarter of 2016, all amounts outstanding under Container Loan #2 and the Cap were paid in full using the proceeds from the sale of the underlying assets, and such agreements were terminated.

FTAI Pride Credit Agreement—On September 15, 2014, FTAI Pride, LLC, (“FTAI Pride”) a subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “FTAI Pride Credit Agreement”) with a financial institution for a term loan in an aggregate amount of $75,000. The loan proceeds were used in connection with the acquisition of an offshore construction vessel. The FTAI Pride Credit Agreement requires quarterly payments of interest and scheduled principal payments of $1,562 beginning in the quarter ending December 31, 2015, through its maturity and can be prepaid without penalty at any time. The FTAI Pride Credit Agreement is secured on a first priority basis by the offshore construction vessel and charter. Borrowings under the FTAI Pride Credit Agreement bear interest at the LIBOR rate plus a spread of 4.50%.
The FTAI Pride Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants which limit certain actions of the borrower and a financial covenant requiring the borrower to maintain a Fixed Charges Coverage Ratio, as defined, of not less than 1.15:1.00 in any twelve month period ending December 31, 2014, or later.
CMQR Credit Agreement—On March 28, 2016, CMQR amended its credit agreement (the “CMQR Credit Agreement”) with a financial institution for a revolving line of credit to increase the aggregate amount from $10,000 to $20,000 and to extend the maturity date to September 18, 2018. Borrowings under the CMQR Credit Agreement bear interest at either (i) Adjusted LIBOR plus a spread of 2.50% or 4.50%, (ii) the U.S. or Canadian Base Rate plus a spread of 1.50% or 3.50%, or (iii) the Canadian Fixed Rate plus a spread of 2.50% or 4.50%, as defined by the CMQR Credit Agreement.
The CMQR Credit Agreement is also indirectly supported by Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (the “Sponsor”). In the event of a default under the credit agreement, CMQR’s lenders can cause CMQR to call up to a total of $29 million in capital from the Sponsor, and in the event of CMQR’s bankruptcy, the lenders can put the debt back to the Sponsor. The CMQR Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants which limit certain actions of CMQR.
Jefferson Terminal Credit Agreement—On August 27, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Jefferson Terminal Credit Agreement”) with a financial institution for an aggregate amount of $100,000. The Jefferson Terminal Credit Agreement required quarterly payments of $250 beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2014, with such quarterly payments increasing to $1,250 beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2016, and could be prepaid or repaid at any time prior to its maturity on February 27, 2018. On March 8, 2016, all amounts outstanding under the Jefferson Terminal Credit Agreement were paid in full and such agreement was terminated. Accordingly, during the first quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,579.
Series 2012 Bonds—On August 1, 2012, Jefferson County Development Corporation issued $46,875 of tax-exempt industrial bonds (“Series 2012 Bonds”), to specifically fund construction and operation of an intermodal transfer facility for crude oil and refined petroleum products. The proceeds of this issuance were loaned to Jefferson Terminal, to be held in trust, as restricted cash, to ensure adherence to the restrictions of use of the funds. Use of the proceeds requires approval from a trustee prior to release of funds. Such restricted cash may only be released to us after payment of applicable reserves, including a six-month interest reserve, and expenses, as determined by the trustee. The Series 2012 Bonds have a stated maturity of July 1, 2032, bear interest at 8.25%, and require scheduled principal payments. The principal of the Series 2012 Bonds is payable annually at varying amounts.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Jefferson Terminal, the Series 2012 Bonds were recorded at a fair value of $48,554, which represented a premium of $1,823 as compared to their face value at the date of acquisition; such premium is being amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining contractual term of the Series 2012 Bonds.

The Series 2012 Bond agreement contains a financial covenant requiring a subsidiary of the Company to maintain a long-term debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the agreement, of 1.25 to 1, in each fiscal year, beginning with December 31, 2014.
Series 2016 Bonds—On March 7, 2016, the Port of Beaumont Navigation District of Jefferson County, Texas (the “District”) issued $144,200 of Dock and Wharf Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2016 (Jefferson Energy Companies Project) (the “Series 2016 Bonds”).  Proceeds from the issuance of the Series 2016 Bonds were used, in part, to reimburse Jefferson Railport Terminal II, LLC (“Jefferson Railport II”) for certain costs related to the development, construction and acquisition of certain facilities for the transport, loading, unloading, and storage of petroleum products (the “Facilities”) on behalf of the District, and settle the Jefferson Terminal Credit Agreement. Construction of the Facilities has occurred, and will occur, on property leased by the District to Jefferson Railport II pursuant to a First Amended and Restated Ground Lease between Jefferson Railport II, as lessee, and the District, as lessor. All such Facilities will be leased by the District to Jefferson Railport II pursuant to a Lease and Development Agreement between the District and Jefferson Railport II.

The transaction described above did not qualify for sale-leaseback accounting due to the continuing involvement of the Company resulting from the mandatory tender feature and, as a result, the leases were classified as a financing transaction in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under the financing method, the assets constructed or to be constructed will remain on the consolidated balance sheet and the net proceeds received by the Company are recorded as financial debt. Payments under these leases are recorded as interest expense and reduction of principal in accordance with the terms of the bond agreement with annual interest payments and a principal repayment at February 13, 2020 barring a remarketing of the bond on new terms. 
Under a Capital Call Agreement, the Company has agreed to make funds available to Jefferson Holdings in order to satisfy its obligation under the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement. The Capital Call Agreement contains certain covenants applicable to the Company, including a negative lien covenant regarding Aviation Assets, as defined therein, as well as maintenance of a minimum total asset value of Aviation Assets and minimum total equity of the Company. In connection with the above, and related to the Series 2016 Bonds, a subsidiary of the Company and an affiliate of its Manager entered into a Fee and Support Agreement with FTAI Energy Partners LLC and certain of its subsidiaries. The Fee and Support Agreement provides that both such subsidiary of the Company and affiliate of the Manager will effectively guarantee a pro rata portion of the obligations under the Standby Bond Purchase Agreement in return for a guarantee fee of $6,873 (shared on the same pro rata basis). This fee will be amortized as interest expense to the earlier of the redemption date or February 13, 2020.
The Series 2016 Bonds bear interest at an initial rate of 7.25% and require scheduled interest payments. The Series 2016 Bonds have a stated maturity of February 1, 2036 but are subject to mandatory tender for purchase at par on February 13, 2020 if they have not been repurchased from proceeds of a remarketing of the Series 2016 Bonds or redeemed prior to such date. In the event all of the Series 2016 Bonds are not repurchased from proceeds of a remarketing or redeemed at February 13, 2020, Jefferson Railport and Jefferson Railport Terminal II Holdings LLC (“Jefferson Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company and parent of Jefferson Railport II, have agreed to purchase the Series 2016 Bonds from the Holders thereof at par pursuant to a Standby Bond Purchase Agreement.  In addition, pursuant to the Standby Purchase Agreement, Jefferson Holdings will guarantee the payment of all Rent (as defined in the Facilities Lease), and all principal of and premium and interest on the Series 2016 Bonds payable prior to repurchase or redemption at February 13, 2020.
The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of September 30, 2016.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require the Company to develop its own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
Market approach—Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
Income approach—Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
Cost approach—Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, by level within the fair value hierarchy. Assets measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had no liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist largely of demand deposit accounts with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased that are considered to be highly liquid. These instruments are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical instruments and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Except as discussed below, the Company’s financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, consist principally of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, bonds payable, security deposits, maintenance deposits and management fees payable, whose fair value approximates their carrying value based on an evaluation of pricing data, vendor quotes, and historical trading activity or due to their short maturity profiles.
The Company’s notes receivable at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, which is included as a component of other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, consist of a $3,725 loan bearing interest at 12.0% made to the Company’s joint venture partner in MT 6015 (Note 2) which is collateralized by other property owned by the joint venture partner. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s notes receivable also included a $17,935 and $14,869, respectively, loan bearing interest at 10% related to a terminal site under development, collateralized by property at that site. The fair value of these notes receivable approximate carrying value due to both bearing a market rate of interest for similar types of loans and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of Series 2012 bonds, reported in debt, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $48,062 and $49,268, respectively, at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, based upon market prices for similar municipal securities. The fair value of Series 2016 bonds, reported in debt, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $151,392 at September 30, 2016 based upon market prices for similar municipal securities. The fair values of all other items reported as debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximate their carrying values due to their bearing market rates of interest, and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis when GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and leasing equipment. The Company records such assets at fair value when it is determined the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value measurements for assets subject to impairment tests are based on an income approach which uses Level 3 inputs, which include the Company’s assumptions as to future cash flows from operation of the underlying businesses and the leasing and eventual sale of assets.
