Company Headquarters Relocation Income (Expense)
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, we sold property at our current corporate headquarters located in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania, for net proceeds of $44.1. The sale was completed in anticipation of relocating our U.S. headquarters and resulted in a gain of $33.8. This gain is reflected on our consolidated income statements as "Company headquarters relocation income (expense)" for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2020 and has been excluded from the results of the Corporate and other segment.
Facility Closure
In December 2018, one of our customers was subject to a government enforced shutdown due to environmental reasons. As a result, we recognized a charge of $29.0 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 primarily related to the write-off of onsite assets. This charge was reflected as “Facility closure” on our consolidated income statements for the fiscal year ended 30 September 2019 and was not recorded in segment results.
Related Party Transactions
We have related party sales to some of our equity affiliates and joint venture partners as well as other income primarily from fees charged for use of Air Products' patents and technology. Sales to and other income from related parties totaled approximately $335, $410, and $360 for the fiscal years ended 30 September 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Sales agreements with related parties include terms that are consistent with those that we believe would have been negotiated at an arm’s length with an independent party. As of 30 September 2020 and 2019, our consolidated balance sheets include related party trade receivables of approximately $95 and $130, respectively.
