The Company accounts for its investments in these entities under the equity method of accounting based on management’s assessment that although it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities because it does not have the power to direct their day to day activities, the Company is able to exercise influence over these entities.

As a result of this ownership change, the Company believed that it no longer had significant influence over the operations of On
e 29 Park, and subsequently began accounting for its investment in One 29 Park under the cost method of accounting.
