Note 14 — Disposals and Impairments

 

We acquired Gavilon Energy in December 2013, which operated a natural gas marketing business. During March 2014, we assigned all of the storage and transportation contracts of the natural gas marketing business to a third party. Since these contracts were at unfavorable terms relative to current market conditions, we paid $44.8 million to assign these contracts. We recorded a liability of $50.8 million related to these storage and transportation contracts in the acquisition accounting, and we amortized $6.0 million of this balance through cost of sales during the period from the acquisition date through the date we assigned the contracts. We also assigned all forward purchase and sale contracts and all financial derivative contracts, and thereby wound down the natural gas business. Our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 includes $1.4 million of operating income related to the natural gas business, which is reported within “corporate and other” in the segment disclosures in Note 13.

 

We acquired High Sierra in June 2012, which operated a compressor leasing business. We sold the compressor leasing business in February 2014 for $10.8 million (net of the amount due to the owner of the noncontrolling interest in the business). We recorded a gain on the sale of the business of $4.4 million, $1.6 million of which was attributable to the disposal of the noncontrolling interest. We reported the gain as a reduction to operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations. Our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2014 includes $2.3 million of operating income related to the compressor leasing business, which is reported within “corporate and other” in the segment disclosures in Note 13.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2014, we recorded an impairment of $5.3 million to the property, plant and equipment of one of our natural gas liquids terminals. This loss is reported within operating expenses of our liquids segment.

 

During the year ended March 31, 2014, two of our water solutions facilities experienced damage to their property, plant and equipment as a result of lightning strikes. We recorded a write-down to property, plant and equipment of $1.5 million related to these incidents, which is reported within operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.
