⁽¹⁾ Land sales transaction which requires the Company to incur the cost to provide the requisite mitigation credits necessary for obtaining the applicable regulatory permits for the buyer, with such costs representing either our basis in credits that we own or potentially up to 5% - 10% of the contract amount noted.
⁽²⁾ Pursuant to the contract, amount includes the reimbursement of infrastructure costs incurred by the Company for Tomoka Town Center plus interest accrued as of December 31, 2017.
⁽³⁾ The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire 19 acres for approximately $2.0 million, in addition to the base contract of 26 acres for approximately $3.2 million.
⁽⁴⁾ The acres and amount include the buyer’s option to acquire 71 acres for approximately $925,000, in addition to the base contract of 129 acres for approximately $2.25 million.

As noted above, these agreements contemplate closing dates ranging from the fourth quarter of 2018 through fiscal year 2020, and although some of the transactions may close in 2018, some of the buyers are not contractually obligated to close until after 2018. Each of the transactions are in varying stages of due diligence by the various buyers including, in some instances, making submissions to the planning and development departments of the City of Daytona Beach, and other permitting activities with other applicable governmental authorities including wetlands permits from the St. John’s River Water Management District and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and conducting traffic analyses and potential road impact requirements with the Florida Department of Transportation and negotiating other matters with Volusia County. In addition to other customary closing conditions, the majority of these transactions are conditioned upon the receipt of approvals or permits from those various governmental authorities, as well as other matters that are beyond our control. If such approvals are not obtained or costs to meet governmental requirements or obligations are too high, the prospective buyers may have the ability to terminate their respective agreements prior to closing. As a result, there can be no assurances regarding the likelihood or timing of any one of these potential land transactions being completed or the final terms thereof, including the sales price.

Excluding the approximately 3,500 acres under contract, the Company’s remaining land holdings consist of approximately 2,000 acres of undeveloped land.

Golf Operations – Impairment Charge

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, an impairment charge of approximately $1.1 million, or $0.15 per share, after tax, was recognized to write-down the net assets of the Company’s golf operations to their estimated fair value of approximately $3.1 million. The impairment charge was taken during the third quarter of 2018 as certain facts and circumstances changed or became evident necessitating the adjustment in the fair value of the assets. Included in the triggering events for recognition of the impairment charge is that the Company has begun to actively seek a buyer for the golf operations and related assets.

The following table provides a summary of the Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2018:
