CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

The Holding Company conducts all of its operations through the Operating Company, a consolidated VIE, and as a result, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Company, other than items attributed to income taxes and the payable pursuant to tax receivable agreement (“TRA”). The Operating Company has investments in and consolidates the assets and liabilities of the San Francisco Venture, FP LP and Five Point Land, LLC (“FPL”), the entity developing Valencia (formerly known as Newhall Ranch), all of which have also been determined to be VIEs.

The San Francisco Venture is a VIE as the other members of the venture, individually or as a group, are not able to exercise kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company applied the variable interest model and determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the San Francisco Venture and, accordingly, the San Francisco Venture is consolidated in the Company’s results. In making that determination, the Company evaluated that the Operating Company has unilateral and unconditional power to make decisions in regards to the activities that significantly impact the economics of the VIE, which are the development of properties, marketing and sale of properties, acquisition of land and other real estate properties and obtaining land ownership or ground lease for the underlying properties to be developed. The Company is determined to have more-than-insignificant economic benefit from the San Francisco Venture because, excluding Class C units, the Operating Company can prevent or cause the San Francisco Venture from making distributions on its units, and the Operating Company would receive 99% of any such distributions made (assuming no distributions had been paid on the Class A Common Units of the Operating Company). In addition, the San Francisco Venture is only allowed to make a capital call on the Operating Company and not any other interest holders, which could be a significant financial risk to the Operating Company.

As of December 31, 2021, the San Francisco Venture had total combined assets of $1.3 billion, primarily comprised of $1.27 billion of inventories and $1.1 million in related party assets and total combined liabilities of $76.9 million, including $69.5 million in related party liabilities.

As of December 31, 2020, the San Francisco Venture had total combined assets of $1.2 billion, primarily comprised of $1.22 billion of inventories, $2.8 million in related party assets and total combined liabilities of $97.9 million, including $89.0 million in related party liabilities.

Those assets are owned by, and those liabilities are obligations of, the San Francisco Venture, not the Company. The San Francisco Venture’s operating subsidiaries are not guarantors of the Company’s obligations, and the assets held by the San Francisco Venture may only be used as collateral for the San Francisco Venture’s obligations. The creditors of the San Francisco Venture do not have recourse to the assets of the Operating Company, as the VIE’s primary beneficiary, or of the Holding Company.

The Company and the other members do not generally have an obligation to make capital contributions to the San Francisco Venture. In addition, there are no liquidity arrangements or agreements to fund capital or purchase assets that could require the Company to provide financial support to the San Francisco Venture. The Company does not guarantee any debt of the San Francisco Venture. However, the Operating Company has guaranteed the performance of payment by the San Francisco Venture in accordance with the redemption terms of the Class C units of the San Francisco Venture (see Note 5).

FP LP and FPL are VIEs because the other partners or members have disproportionately fewer voting rights and substantially all of the activities of the entities are conducted on behalf of the other partners or members and their related parties. The Operating Company, or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Company, is the primary beneficiary of FP LP and FPL.

As of December 31, 2021, FP LP and FPL had combined assets of $1.0 billion, primarily comprised of $826.4 million of inventories, $51.4 million of intangibles, $82.0 million in related party assets and total combined liabilities of $94.0 million, including $85.6 million in accounts payable and other liabilities and $8.4 million in related party liabilities.

As of December 31, 2020, FP LP and FPL had combined assets of $1.0 billion, primarily comprised of $767.3 million of inventories, $71.7 million of intangibles, $80.0 million in related party assets and total combined liabilities of $108.9 million, including $99.9 million in accounts payable and other liabilities and $9.0 million in related party liabilities.

The Company evaluates its primary beneficiary designation on an ongoing basis and assesses the appropriateness of the VIE’s status when events have occurred that would trigger such an analysis. During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, there were no VIEs that were deconsolidated.
