In connection with the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy and the application of ASC 852, the Company adjusted property and equipment by $768.6 million to its fair value of $931.7 million at the Effective Date. See Note 3 for further details on the impact of fresh-start accounting on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In addition to capital expenditures and sale or disposal of assets, the following items impacted property and equipment during fiscal year 2019 (Predecessor):

 
In connection with the $87.5 million impairment of H225 aircraft, the Company revised its salvage values for each H225 aircraft. In accordance with accounting standards, the Company recognized the change in depreciation due to the reduction in carrying value and revision of salvage values on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the aircraft. This resulted in an additional $3.0 million of depreciation expense during fiscal year 2019 (Predecessor) and resulted in an increase of depreciation expense of $2.9 million for the seven months ended October 31, 2019 (Predecessor).

 
The Company revised the salvage values of certain aircraft to reflect its expectation of future sales values given its disposal plans for those aircraft. The Company recorded additional depreciation expense of $1.4 million during fiscal year 2019 (Predecessor).

 
The Company transferred two aircraft and other properties to held for sale and reduced property and equipment by $1.5 million. In addition, the Company transferred three aircraft out of held for sale, as they were determined to no longer meet the criteria for held for sale classification, and increased property and equipment by $8.2 million.

In addition to capital expenditures and sale or disposal of assets, the following items impacted property and equipment during fiscal year 2018 (Predecessor):

 
The Company transferred four aircraft to held for sale and reduced property and equipment by $9.3 million.
