Variable Interest Entities
Variable Interest Entities
As discussed in Note 4, effective January 1, 2016, we have adopted the guidance in ASU 2015-02. As a result, the Operating Partnership (see Note 1) and each of our less than wholly-owned real estate partnerships (22 Exchange, LLC, Gardens Medical Pavilion, LLC, SL Parkside Apartments, LLC and the ADC Arrangement associated with Prospect Park) have been deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE. However, we were not required to consolidate any previously unconsolidated entities or deconsolidate any previously consolidated entities as a result of the change in classification. Accordingly, there has been no change to the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows or amounts recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Consolidated VIEs
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, 22 Exchange, LLC, Gardens Medical Pavilion, LLC through BH-AW-Florida MOB Venture, LLC, and SL Parkside Apartments, LLC, which are variable interest entities, or VIEs, for which we are the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership, or legal entities such as an LLC, are considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consider qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of our investment; the obligation or likelihood for us or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to our business activities and the business activities of the other investors. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions.
Unconsolidated VIEs
Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at June 30, 2016 is the ADC Arrangement associated with Prospect Park, which is accounted for as an unconsolidated joint venture and is a VIE. Refer to Note 9 for further details on the ADC Arrangement. This arrangement was established to provide mezzanine financing to an unaffiliated third party that owns Prospect Park, an apartment complex under development in Denver, Colorado. Based on our reevaluation under ASU 2015-02, we determined that we are not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the rights of the general partner. The arrangement does not allow for substantive kick-out rights over the general partner and we do not have the power to direct the activities of Prospect Park that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance. Accordingly, we have determined it is appropriate, consistent with past accounting, that the Prospect Park ADC Arrangement will continue to be accounted for under the equity method.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, total assets of the property under development were approximately $72.8 million and $63.9 million, respectively. Total assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were made up of construction in progress of $62.1 million and $53.5 million, respectively, land of $9.8 million, and other assets of $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the senior construction loan as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was $33.9 million and $26.9 million, respectively. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the outstanding principal balance of our mezzanine loan was $15.3 million.
The Company’s maximum exposure to losses associated with its unconsolidated joint venture is limited to its carrying value in this investment. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company’s carrying value and maximum exposure to loss in this investment was $14.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively.
