The Series B Units are considered a profits interest and are accounted for under the deferred compensation guidance in ASC 710,Compensation – General. These Series B Units do not represent a legal form of equity as there is no initial investment required to obtain the Series B Units. While the Series B Units allow employees to receive a portion of distributable cash after the Series A Members achieve certain returns on their contributions, the Series B Units arenon-voting and subordinate to debt and Series A Units based on the waterfall distribution.
