Supplemental Information SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Facility Closure
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021, we recorded a charge of $23.2 primarily for a noncash write-down of assets associated with a contract termination in the Industrial Gases – Americas segment. This charge is reflected as "Facility closure" on our consolidated income statements for the nine months ended 30 June 2021 and was not recorded in segment results.
Company Headquarters Relocation Income (Expense)
In 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 nine months ended 30 June 2020. The gain was not recorded in the results of the Corporate and other segment.
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 $40 and $130 for the three and nine months ended 30 June 2021, respectively, and $80 and $260 for the three and nine months ended 30 June 2020, 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 June 2021 and 30 September 2020, our consolidated balance sheets included related party trade receivables of approximately $120 and $95, respectively.
We also have related party debt primarily resulting from the 2018 acquisition of gasification and syngas clean-up assets from our joint venture partner, Lu'An Clean Energy Company, which partially funded the acquisition with a loan to the joint venture. Total related party debt, including the current portion, was $357.7 and $338.5 as of 30 June 2021 and 30 September 2020, respectively.
Changes in Estimates
Changes in estimates on projects accounted for under the cost incurred input method are recognized as a cumulative adjustment for the inception-to-date effect of such change. Changes in cost estimates unfavorably impacted operating income in the Industrial Gases – Global segment by approximately $19 and $26 for the three and nine months ended 30 June 2021, respectively. Our changes in estimates would not have significantly impacted amounts recorded in prior years.
