CONSOLIDATED VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY
 
In February 2016, the Company contributed the assets acquired in the Sentilus acquisition to a newly formed company, Sentilus Holdco LLC (“Sentilus LLC”). The Company then distributed its interest in Sentilus LLC via a dividend, indirectly, to IVD Intermediate Holdings A Inc., which is the owner of Immucor’s Parent company, IVD Intermediate Holdings B Inc.
 
Sentilus LLC will continue developing Femtoarrays
TM
and the underlying technology for use in a variety of in vitro diagnostics areas. This business was spun-off from Immucor to be able to separately market the anticipated new product offerings that are expected to have application outside of the Company’s current transfusion and transplant markets. The book value of the assets and liabilities transferred was $6.0 million. The book value includes assets of $1.0 million of cash, $0.5 million of equipment, $18.8 million of identifiable intangible assets, and $0.1 million of goodwill, and liabilities of $7.2 million of deferred income tax liabilities, and a $7.2 million obligation to Immucor for contingent consideration liabilities. 
 
Sentilus LLC is considered to be a VIE.  Sentilus LLC is operated as a separate business. Sentilus LLC and the Company have entered into management services agreements (the “Management Contracts”) pursuant to which Immucor will provide management, financial, legal and human resource services as well as personnel, materials and business locations to Sentilus LLC in exchange for management fees at Immucor’s cost plus a specified “arms-length” margin (which is subject to periodic adjustment). Immucor’s executive management will control and operate the Sentilus LLC business. Immucor is considered the primary beneficiary of Sentilus LLC because it is managing the Sentilus LLC business and providing the necessary personnel and support to operate the business under the terms of the Management Contracts. Accordingly, the financial results of Sentilus LLC are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company.   
 
The operations of Sentilus LLC will be primarily funded through either additional potential future dividends from Immucor or from additional capital contributions from IVD Holdings Inc. (“Holdings”), the Parent company of IVD Intermediate Holdings A Inc. The Company could be exposed to a loss related to the Sentilus LLC business if there are expenses that are incurred by the Company on behalf of Sentilus LLC under the terms of the Management Contracts and are not reimbursed.  This risk is deemed unlikely since all of the entities involved in this arrangement are under the common control of Holdings.
 
The following table includes the carrying amounts and classification of the assets and liabilities of Sentilus LLC that are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2016 that cannot be used to settle the obligations of Immucor, and are not Immucor’s obligation to pay (in thousands):
