As fully described in Note 3, on December 28, 2014, the Company deconsolidated MAB-C, a VIE due to the fact that the Company no longer has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact MAB-C’s economic performance. As of June 30, 2015, there is no change to the value of the ARO on the Company’s financial statements.
