As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had ownership interests in BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC, which are VIEs. We do not consolidate BRE Ace LLC and 1776 Holding LLC because we are not the primary beneficiary. These two unconsolidated affiliates have aggregated debt balances of $382 million and $427 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The debt is secured by their assets and is without recourse to us. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our investment interests in the two unconsolidated affiliates is primarily limited to (i) the carrying amount of the investments, which totaled $73 million and $71 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and (ii) receivables for commission and other fees earned under fee-for-service arrangements. See Note 16: Related Party Transactions for additional information.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we received a cash distribution of $10 million from our investment in BRE Ace LLC.
For these VIEs, our investment interests are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and equity earned is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as Equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.
As part of the Bluegreen Acquisition, we obtained variable interests within statutory business trusts (collectively, the “Trusts”) formed previously by wholly owned subsidiaries of Bluegreen. Each subsidiary issued trust preferred securities as part of a larger pooled trust securities offering which was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and invested the proceeds thereof in its junior subordinated debentures. The Trusts were VIEs in which the subsidiaries are not the primary beneficiaries. As of September 30, 2024, we paid down $171 million, which represented the full balance of the junior subordinated debentures acquired as part of the Bluegreen acquisition. See Note 11: Debt and Non-recourse debt for additional information.
