Disposal Groups Held for Sale

(3)  Disposal Groups Held for Sale

In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company determined that it expected to sell or otherwise dispose of its three consolidated Mexican Acquisition Partnerships over the next twelve months. The Company wholly-owns two of these subsidiaries, and holds a majority ownership interest in the other subsidiary. In connection with the Company’s disposal plan and expectations, each subsidiary was determined to be a separate disposal group, and the assets and liabilities of each subsidiary are measured at the lower of their respective carrying amount or estimated fair value (less costs to sell) and classified as “held for sale” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The consolidated assets and liabilities for these Mexican subsidiaries, as measured at the lower of their respective carrying amount or estimated fair value (less costs to sell), have been respectively classified as “Assets held for sale” and “Liabilities associated with assets held for sale” on our consolidated balance sheets. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the assets included primarily Portfolio Assets ($5.2 million and $4.8 million, respectively) and an affiliated loan receivable ($5.1 million), and the liabilities included primarily an affiliated note payable ($5.1 million). See Note 16 for additional information related to the affiliated loan receivable and affiliated note payable.
