Consolidated 50% Owned Subsidiaries, including Variable Interest Entities (VIE) |
5. | Consolidated 50% Owned Subsidiaries, including Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")
The Company has a 50% interest in two subsidiaries (Myers and RHB); both subsidiaries have individual provisions which obligate the Company to purchase each partner's 50% interests for $20.0 million ($40.0 million in the aggregate), due to circumstances outlined in the partner agreements that are certain to occur. Therefore, the Company has consolidated these two entities and classified these obligations as mandatorily redeemable and has recorded a liability in “Members' interest subject to mandatory redemption and undistributed earnings” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, all undistributed earnings at the time of the noncontrolling owners’ death or permanent disability are also mandatorily payable. In the event of either Mr. Buenting’s or Mr. Myers's death, the Company purchased two separate $20.0 million death and permanent total disability insurance policies to mitigate the Company’s cash draw if such events were to occur. The liability consists of the following (amounts in thousands):
| September 30, 2018 |  | December 31, 2017
Members’ interest subject to mandatory redemption | $ | 40,000 |  |  | $ | 40,000 |
Net accumulated earnings | 8,844 |  |  | 7,386 |
Total liability | $ | 48,844 |  |  | $ | 47,386 |
Fifty percent of the earnings of these consolidated 50% owned subsidiaries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $5.1 million, and $10.4 million, respectively and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $4.5 million and $7.0 million, respectively. These amounts were included in “Other operating expense, net” on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company must determine whether any of its entities, including these two 50% owned subsidiaries, in which it participates, is a VIE. The Company determined Myers is a VIE, as Sterling is the primary beneficiary, as pursuant to the terms of the Myers Operating Agreement, Sterling is exposed to the majority of potential losses of the partnership. As such, the following table presents the condensed financial information of Myers, which is reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations, as follows (amounts in thousands):
