5. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”)

The Partnership has determined the Tender Option Bond (“TOB”), Term TOB and TEBS financings are VIEs where the Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In determining the primary beneficiary of each VIE, the Partnership considered which party has the power to control the activities of the VIE which most significantly impact its financial performance, the risks that the entity was designed to create, and how each risk affects the VIE. The agreements related to the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings stipulate the Partnership has the sole right to cause the trusts to sell the underlying assets. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIEs will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership.

As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings on a consolidated basis. The Partnership reports the senior securities related to the TOB, term TOB, and TEBS financings as secured debt financings on the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets (Note 16). The investment assets securing the TOB, Term TOB and TEBS financings are reported as assets on the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets (Notes 6, 7, 8 and 12).

The Partnership has determined its investment in Vantage at San Marcos is a VIE and the Partnership is the primary beneficiary. The Partnership may currently require the managing member of the VIE to purchase the Partnership’s equity investment in the VIE at a price equal to the Partnership’s carrying value. If the Partnership were to redeem its investment, the underlying assets of the property would likely need to be sold. If the underlying assets were sold, the extent to which the VIE will be exposed to gains or losses would result from decisions made by the Partnership. The Partnership’s option to redeem its investment in Vantage at San Marcos became effective beginning in the fourth quarter of 2021. As the primary beneficiary, the Partnership reports the assets and liabilities of Vantage at San Marcos on a consolidated basis, which consist of a real estate asset investment (Note 10), mortgage payable (Note 17), and current liabilities associated with the construction costs of a market-rate multifamily property (Note 14). If certain events occur in the future, the Partnership’s option to redeem the investment will terminate and the VIE may be deconsolidated.

Non-Consolidated VIEs

The Partnership has variable interests in various VIEs in the form of MRBs, taxable MRBs, GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities. These variable interests do not allow the Partnership to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. As a result, the Partnership is not considered the primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the financial statements of these VIEs in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership held variable interests in 31 and 35 non-consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The following table summarizes the Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss associated with its variable interests as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss for non-consolidated VIEs associated with MRBs and taxable MRBs as of March 31, 2023 is equal to the Partnership’s cost adjusted for paydowns. The difference between the MRB carrying value in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets and the maximum exposure to loss is a function of the unrealized gains or losses. The Partnership has future MRB and taxable MRB funding commitments related to non-consolidated VIEs totaling $102.5 million and $25.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 (Note 19).

The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss for non-consolidated VIEs associated with GILs, taxable GILs, property loans and investments in unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2023 is equal to the Partnership’s carrying value. The Partnership has future GIL, taxable GIL, property loan and investment in unconsolidated entities funding commitments related to non-consolidated VIEs totaling $87.5 million, $56.2 million, $49.1 million, and $32.9 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2023 (Note 19).
