[1] The Company recorded its investment in LNR, which was sold in April 2013, on a one quarter lag, therefore, amounts in the Company's financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are based on balances and results from LNR for the period from April 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013 and for the period from October 1, 2012 to April 19, 2013, respectively.
[2] The loss for the period from April 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013 had already been considered in the Company's other than temporary impairment assessment during the first and second quarters of 2013. As such, no equity in earnings was recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The total equity in earnings recognized for LNR was $55.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
[3] LNR consolidates certain commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligation trusts that are considered VIEs (and for which it is the primary beneficiary), that have been included in the amounts presented above. As of September 30, 2012, the assets of these trusts, which aggregated $97.5 billion were the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which aggregated $97.2 billion and are non-recourse to LNR and its equity holders, including the Company. Excluding the amounts related to VIEs, as of September 30, 2012, total assets were $1.38 billion, total debt was $398.9 million and total liabilities were $517.1 million. In addition, total revenue presented above includes $5.1 million and $27.5 million for the period from April 1, 2013 to April 19, 2013 and three months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $55.5 million and $72.6 million for the period from October 1, 2012 to April 19, 2013 and nine months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, of servicing fee revenue that is eliminated upon consolidation of the VIE's at the LNR level. This income is then added back through consolidation at the LNR level as an adjustment to income allocable to noncontrolling entities and has no net impact on net income attributable to LNR.
