Note 3. Tax Equity Financings

Derby Tax Equity Financing Transaction

Since the Derby Projects became operational during the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we have begun to allocate profits and losses to noncontrolling interests under the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, the net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests totaled $6.1 million and $26.8 million, respectively. There were no amounts allocated to noncontrolling interest for the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 for Derby Fuel Cell Holdco, LLC (the partnership that acquired the equity interests in the project company that owns the Derby Projects) because the Derby Projects were not yet operational at that time. As such, the Company had not yet allocated profits or losses to the noncontrolling interest under the HLBV method. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2024, the Company made priority return distributions to Franklin Park of $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
