Instead, the Meixin VIE Agreements provide the Company with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Meixin’s economic performance and the right to receive substantially all of the economic benefits of Meixin, while also obligating the Company to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to Meixin.
In accordance with ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company determined that Meixin is a variable interest entity and that the Company is the primary beneficiary.
