Variable Interest Entities |
5. Variable Interest Entities Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) The Partnership has determined the Tender Option Bond (“TOB”), Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings are VIEs and the Partnership is the primary beneficiary (see Note 16). In determining the primary beneficiary of each VIE, the Partnership considered which party has the power to control the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact its financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The executed agreements related to the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings stipulate the Partnership has the sole right to cause the trusts to sell the underlying assets. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership. As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings on a consolidated basis. The Partnership reports the senior Floater Certificates related to the TOB Financings, and the Class A Certificates related to the Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings as secured debt financings on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The MRBs secured by the TOB, Term TOB, Term A/B and TEBS Financings, and the PHCs secured by the TOB Financings, are reported as assets on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Notes 6 and 8). Non-Consolidated VIEs The Partnership has variable interests in various entities in the form of MRBs, a GIL, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities. These variable interests do not allow the Partnership to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. As a result, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the financial statements of these VIEs in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Partnership held variable interests in 18 and 17 non-consolidated VIEs as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s variable interests in these entities as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:
The maximum exposure to loss for the MRBs is equal to the cost adjusted for paydowns. The difference between an MRB’s carrying value on the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the unrealized gains or losses on the MRB.
The maximum exposure to loss for the GIL, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities is equal to the Partnership’s carrying value.
