Variable Interest Entities [Abstract] |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities The Company’s variable interest in VIEs currently are in the form of equity ownership and loans provided by the Company to a VIE or other partner. The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk and reward sharing, experience and financial condition of other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE’s executive committee, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s). Consolidated VIEs As of September 30, 2016, the Company had invested approximately $5.6 million in one real estate project which is a VIE. This entity does not have any other significant assets or liabilities at September 30, 2016 and was established to facilitate the development of a theatre project. Unconsolidated VIE At September 30, 2016, the Company’s recorded investment in SVVI, a VIE that is unconsolidated, was $165.6 million. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss associated with SVVI is limited to the Company’s outstanding mortgage note and related accrued interest receivable of $165.6 million. While this entity is a VIE, the Company has determined that the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance is not held by the Company.
