Principal and interest payments on the non-recourse notes payable are generally due monthly in amounts that are approximately equal to the total payments due from the customer under the leases or notes receivable that collateralize the notes payable.  The weighted average interest rate for our non-recourse notes payable was 3.31% and 3.46%, as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for our recourse notes payable was 2.93% and 3.85%, as of September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, respectively. Under recourse financing, in the event of a default by a customer, the lender has recourse to the customer, the assets serving as collateral, and us. Under non-recourse financing, in the event of a default by a customer, the lender generally only has recourse against the customer, and the assets serving as collateral, but not against us.
 
In May 2014, we entered into an agreement to repurchase the rights, title, and interest to payments due under a financing agreement. This financing agreement was previously assigned to a third party financial institution and accounted for as a secured borrowing. In conjunction with the repurchase agreement, we recognized a gain of $1.4 million, which is presented within other income in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
