Other Liabilities

Note 11 – Other Liabilities

Included in “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position is a deferred lease obligation related to an operating lease with H L & L Property Company (“H L & L”), for a building that will function as the Corporation’s world headquarters. The building is currently being constructed and expected to be available for occupancy in calendar year 2016.

H L & L is an indirect affiliate of the Corporation as it is indirectly owned by members of the Weiss Family (as defined in Note 17). Due to, among other things, the Corporation’s involvement in the construction of the building, the Corporation is required to be treated, for accounting purposes only, as the “deemed owner” of the new world headquarters building during the construction period. Accordingly, the Corporation has recorded an asset and associated offsetting liability during the construction of the building, even though the Corporation does not own the asset and is not the obligor on the corresponding construction debt. The asset and corresponding liability was $57.4 million, $31.7 million and $14.8 million as of August 28, 2015, February 28, 2015 and August 29, 2014, respectively. See Note 17 for further information.
