| Variable Interest Entities |
7. Variable Interest Entities The Company has evaluated its business relationships with franchisees to identify potential variable interest entities (“VIEs”). While the Company holds a variable interest in some of the franchised restaurants owned by an affiliated entity, the Company is not the primary beneficiary since it does not have the power to direct the activities of these franchised restaurants. As a result, the Company does not consolidate those VIEs. At March 31, 2021, the Company is a guarantor for six operating leases for those affiliated entities and an unrelated party. The Company may become responsible for the payments under its guarantee. The Company has determined that its maximum exposure to loss on the VIEs that it is not the primary beneficiary on results from the lease guarantees amounts to approximately $5,949,000. On April 23, 2018 (the “Takeover Date”), the Company entered into an asset purchase and management agreement (the “APM”) with a multiple unit franchisee. The Company had evaluated the franchisee which is a party to the APM for VIE accounting under ASC 810 “Consolidation” and had determined that the franchisee under the APM was a VIE and that the Company was the primary beneficiary, effective on the Takeover Date. During 2020, the Company negotiated a release of the lien from the banks on the equipment in these restaurants and was able to have the leases on the restaurants assigned to BurgerFi and on December 31, 2020, BurgerFi discontinued the management of the two restaurants by termination of the APM and the franchise agreements. As a result of the discontinuation and termination of the APM, the franchisee was deconsolidated on December 31, 2020. Net sales for the consolidated VIE for the for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 were $912,000. Net loss for the consolidated VIE for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020 was $25,000. |
