VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Aeróleo. The Company acquired a 50% economic and 20% voting interest in Aeróleo in 2011. As a result of liquidity issues experienced by Aeróleo, it is unable to adequately finance its activities without additional financial support from the Company, making it a VIE. The Company has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect Aeróleo’s financial performance, making the Company the primary beneficiary. As a result, the Company consolidates Aeróleo’s financial results.
The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 include assets of Aeróleo totaling $16.5 million and $11.9 million, respectively. The distribution of these assets to Era Group and its subsidiaries other than Aeróleo is subject to restrictions. The Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 include liabilities of Aeróleo of $5.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The creditors for such liabilities do not have recourse to Era Group or its subsidiaries other than Aeróleo.
