The Issuer Trust that was formed for the purpose of financing MSR through securitization (see discussion in Note 2 - Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies) is considered a VIE for financial reporting purposes and, thus, was reviewed for consolidation under the applicable consolidation guidance. As the Company has both the power to direct the activities of the Issuer Trust that most significantly impact the entity’s performance, and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the entity that could be significant, the Company consolidates the trust. Additionally, in accordance with arrangements entered into in connection with the securitization transaction, the Company has direct financial obligations payable to the Issuer Trust, which, in turn, support the Issuer Trust’s obligations to noteholders under the securitization transaction.
The following table presents a summary of the assets and liabilities of all consolidated trusts as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
