Variable Interest Entities

In July 2011, the Company sold its 100% interest in Creative Investigations Recovery Group, LLC ("CIRG"). The consideration included a note receivable, included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, with a first priority lien security interest in the assets of CIRG and other property of the buyers. The Company performed a detailed analysis of the CIRG sale transaction and determined that CIRG is considered a VIE, as defined in ASC 810, because the Company has an interest due to the note financing. The Company further determined that it is not the primary beneficiary because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE and has no right to receive the residual returns of CIRG. Therefore, CIRG is not consolidated in the Company's results of operations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company engaged in discussions with the buyers regarding possible restructuring of the note receivable and therefore the Company has temporarily halted the recognition of interest income on the note while discussions are ongoing. The Company's maximum exposure to loss in the VIE is limited to the outstanding balance of the note receivable, which is presented in the table below:
