Trina, through a series of contractual arrangements, among other things, (i) supplies all solar modules and other related products to the SPV, which are a significant component of project asset cost, (ii) has substantive management rights and oversight in the SPV and the construction process, and (iii) is contractually required to acquire the project assets upon construction completion. As a result, Trina has a controlling financial interest in the SPVs and is deemed their primary beneficiary and, accordingly, the financial position and results of operations, if any, of the SPVs are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

If the entity operates in more than one business, the disclosure also indicates the relative importance of its operations in each business and the basis for the determination (for example, assets, revenues, or earnings). Disclosures about the nature of operations need not be quantified; relative importance could be conveyed by use of terms such as "predominately", "about equally", or "major and other".
