Note 6:          Sale and deconsolidation of variable interest entity - AAP

The financial position and results of operations of AAP have been consolidated in our financial statements since AAP’s inception based on our conclusion that AAP is a variable interest entity that we controlled due to our contribution in excess of 50% of the total equity, subordinated debt and other forms of financial support. Since inception we provided substantial financial support to fund the operations of AAP. The financial position and results of operations for AAP are reported in our recycling segment. On August 15, 2017, we sold our 50% interest in AAP, and therefore, as of August 15, 2017, no longer consolidate the results of AAP in our financial statements.
