12.         GNU Interest

Prior to liquidation of GNU on December 18, 2018, CRA’s ownership interest in GNU was 55.89%. GNU's financial results had been consolidated with CRA, and the portion of GNU's results allocable to its other owners was shown as “noncontrolling interest.” GNU's reporting schedule and fiscal year differed from CRA's. The reporting lag did not have a significant impact on CRA's consolidated statements of operations or financial condition.

In fiscal 2016, a buyer acquired substantially all of the business assets and assumed substantially all of the liabilities of GNU. A portion of the acquisition price was paid at closing, whereas the remaining amount of  $0.3 million was paid in fiscal 2017, of which $0.2 million was attributed to CRA. Subsequently, GNU was dissolved, and  CRA received a partial distribution of $0.6 million in fiscal 2017. Upon liquidation of GNU during fiscal 2018, CRA recognized a gain of $0.3 million.
