VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

NOTE 5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY (“VIE”)

 

In December 2019, the Company’s executive management learned that prior to the Merger, in January 2017, one of the Company’s related parties, on behalf of MMG, executed a guarantee of obligations of Vivos Real Estate Holdings, LLC (“VREH”), under a mortgage loan for the purchase of the property at 22 Baltimore Rd., Rockville, Maryland. MMG leased this space on market terms. MMG challenges its status as a guarantor on the building.

 

Although the Company has neither any decision-making authority over VREH, nor financial interest in the operations of VREH, the Company was required to consolidate its financial statements with those of VREH as it was considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As a result of the Company terminating the lease on April 30, 2020, VREH was no longer to be considered a VIE after April 30, 2020.

 

The potential financial exposure to loss as a guarantor could equal all the book value of the related party mortgage loan payable, a total of approximately $1,760 as of December 31, 2020, with $126 due in 2021. VREH is currently a few months behind on payments. To date, the Company has not been called on for any loan repayment guarantee. The Company believes the building valuation is at or near the current mortgage amount.
