(8)       Investment in and Advances to Affiliated Partnership

 

The Company has a 26.32% ownership interest in a realty limited partnership, United Development Company Limited (“UDT”). The Company has consolidated the financial statements of UDT for all periods presented because it has determined that UDT is a VIE, and the Company is the primary beneficiary. UDT owns one building, which is leased to the Company. The lease payments from the Company account for 100% of UDT’s revenue. Therefore, the Company believes it has the power to direct the activities of UDT that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of UDT or the right to receive benefits from UDT that could potentially be significant to UDT. In addition to the lease arrangement, the Company’s management provides management services to UDT in certain situations. The creditors of UDT have no recourse to the general credit of the Company (see Note 23).
