On February 1, 2013, the Company closed on the sale of its interest in one of the unconsolidated joint venture properties owned in part by Mystic Partners, LLC to its joint venture partner. As our investment in this unconsolidated joint venture equated the net proceeds distributed to us, we did not record a gain or loss in connection with the sale of this hotel.

Income or loss from our unconsolidated joint ventures is allocated to us and our joint venture partners consistent with the allocation of cash distributions in accordance with the joint venture agreements. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets.

Income (loss) recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures is as follows:

The following table is a reconciliation of the Company’s share in the unconsolidated joint ventures’ equity to the Company’s investment in the unconsolidated joint ventures as presented on the Company’s balance sheets as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.



		September 30,		December 31,
		2013		2012
Company's share of equity recorded on the joint ventures' financial statements	$	26,481	$	28,581
Adjustment to reconcile the Company's share of equity recorded on the joint ventures' financial statements to our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures⁽¹⁾		(12,230)		(12,574)

(1) Adjustment to reconcile the Company's share of equity recorded on the joint ventures' financial statements to our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures consists of the following:

·	cumulative impairment of the Company’s investment in joint ventures not reflected on the joint ventures' financial statements;

·	the Company’s basis in the investment in joint ventures not recorded on the joint ventures' financial statements; and

accumulated amortization of the Company’s equity in joint ventures that reflects the Company’s portion of the excess of the fair value of joint ventures' assets on the date of our investment over the carrying value of the assets recorded on the joint ventures financial statements (this excess investment is amortized over the life of the properties, and the amortization is included in Income (Loss) from Unconsolidated Joint Venture Investments on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations).
