[1] 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 $97.52 billion, were the sole source of repayment of the related liabilities, which aggregated $97.21 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 $55.5 million, $95.4 million, and $119.0 million for the period from October 1, 2012 to April 19, 2013 and for the years ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 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.
