Variable Interest Entities

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity ("VIE") is an entity that either (i) has insufficient equity to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) has equity investors who lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Under ASC 810 - Consolidation, an entity that holds a variable interest in a VIE and meets certain requirements would be considered to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and required to consolidate the VIE in its condensed consolidated financial statements. In order to be considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE, an entity must hold a variable interest in the VIE and have both:

•the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE; and

•the right to receive benefits from, or the obligation to absorb losses of, the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.

The Company concluded that its investments in Delphax’s equity and debt, and its investment in the Delphax warrant, each constituted a variable interest. In addition, the Company concluded that it became the primary beneficiary of Delphax on November 24, 2015. The Company consolidated Delphax in its condensed consolidated financial statements beginning on that date. Delphax is included within our Corporate and other segment.

Upon petition by the Company, on August 8, 2017 the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Bankruptcy and Insolvency adjudged Delphax Canada to be bankrupt. As a result, Delphax Canada ceased to have capacity to deal with its property, which then vested in the trustee in bankruptcy of Delphax Canada subject to the rights of secured creditors. As of June 30, 2019, the bankruptcy proceedings were finalized in accordance with Canadian law and, therefore, Delphax Canada was legally discharged of its liabilities.

The conclusion of the bankruptcy proceedings also resulted in the dissolution of Delphax Canada. In addition, on June 11, 2019, the Company also fully dissolved Delphax UK. As such, the only Delphax entity that remains in existence as of March 31, 2020 is Delphax France. The Company extinguished the assets and liabilities of Delphax Canada and Delphax UK during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and recognized a gain on dissolution of entities of $4.5 million.

Delphax had total assets and liabilities with carrying values of $9.6 thousand and 0.5 million, as of September 30, 2020 and $11.0 thousand and $0.5 million, as of March 31, 2020.

Delphax’s components of net income (loss) are included in our condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income herein. For the six months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, Delphax did not recognize any revenue. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, Delphax recorded net loss of $32.0 thousand, broken out between an operating loss of $38.0 thousand and non-operating income of $6.0 thousand. For the six months ended September 30, 2019, Delphax recorded net income of $6.1 million, broken out between an operating loss of $125.0 thousand and non-operating income of $6.2 million, the majority of which was the result of the gain on dissolution of entities of $4.5 million.
