NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT |
NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT | NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company received approximately $2.4 million in net proceeds from financing agreements related to working capital and capital improvements at one of its Madison, Wisconsin facilities. This financing arrangement was structured with an unrelated third-party financial institution (the “Investor”), an investment fund, and its majority owned community development entity in connection with the Company’s participation in transactions qualified under the federal New Markets Tax Credit (“NMTC”) program, pursuant to Section 45D of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is required to be in compliance through December 2021 with various regulations and contractual provisions that apply to the NMTC arrangement. Noncompliance with applicable requirements could result in the Investor’s projected tax benefits not being realized and, therefore, require the Company to indemnify the Investor for any loss or recapture of NMTC related to the financing until such time as the recapture provisions have expired under the applicable statute of limitations. The Company does not anticipate any credit recapture will be required in connection with this financing arrangement. The Investor and its majority owned community development entity are considered Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. This conclusion was reached based on the following: •the ongoing activities of the VIEs — collecting and remitting interest and fees and NMTC compliance — were all considered in the initial design and are not expected to significantly affect performance throughout the life of the VIE; •contractual arrangements obligate the Company to comply with NMTC rules and regulations and provide various other guarantees to the Investor and community development entity; •the Investor lacks a material interest in the underlying economics of the project; and •the Company is obligated to absorb losses of the VIEs. Because the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs, they have been included in the consolidated financial statements. There are no other assets, liabilities or transactions in these VIEs outside of the financing transactions executed as part of the NMTC arrangement.
