As of September 30, 2023, the Company has contributed its full $500,000 commitment. The JV is considered to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined by authoritative accounting guidance. A VIE must be consolidated by a reporting entity if the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary because it has (i) the power to direct the VIE’s activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. All major decisions related to the JV that most significantly impact its economic performance, including but not limited to operating procedures with respect to business affairs. Therefore, we have consolidated the JV.
