Variable Interest Entities
The Company increased its ownership percentage in Yogurt Mountain on July 19, 2013 from 40% to 50%, with the remaining 50% ownership held by APCP (see Note 4, "Related Party Transactions"). The Company’s investment in Yogurt Mountain was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. In connection with the increase in ownership percentage, the Company applied ASC 810-10 and determined that Yogurt Mountain was a variable interest entity ("VIE"). An enterprise must consolidate a VIE if it is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary has both (a) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result of the increase in the Company’s ownership of Yogurt Mountain, the Company determined that both the Company and APCP hold an equal 50% interest in Yogurt Mountain and that both parties equally share in the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. However, the existence of the related party relationship between the Company and APCP required the Company to evaluate which entity was more closely associated with Yogurt Mountain. The Company determined that, due to the similarity of its business with that of Yogurt Mountain’s, as well as its involvement with the management of the business, the Company was more closely associated with Yogurt Mountain than APCP and, therefore, was required to consolidate Yogurt Mountain. The Company’s investment in Yogurt Mountain, plus any guarantees related to Yogurt Mountain, totaled approximately $3.1 million at November 1, 2014, representing the Company’s maximum exposure to loss. The assets and liabilities of Yogurt Mountain were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at November 1, 2014. Creditors of Yogurt Mountain do not have recourse against the general credit of the Company.
