*On February 7, 2021, all of the assets of the properties owned by this joint venture were transferred to the mezzanine lender of Cindat Hersha Owner JV, LLC. As a result, the venture was dissolved and we no longer maintain an interest in this venture.
**On November 30, 2022, we sold our 50% membership interest in Hiren Boston, LLC. We recognized a gain of $5,167 as the net proceeds received exceeded our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture.
Effective August 1, 2021, HHLP entered into Asset Management Agreements with the joint venture investments at the Courtyard by Marriott, South Boston, Holiday Inn Express, South Boston, and Home2 Suites, South Boston properties whereby it provides asset management services. Fees for these services are calculated as 1.0% of operating revenues, which we recognize as income in other revenues on the consolidated statements of operations.
Income/Loss Allocation
Prior to February 7, 2021, based on the income allocation methodology within Cindat Hersha Owner JV, LLC, the Company had absorbed cumulative losses equal to our accounting basis in the joint venture resulting in a $0 investment balance in the table above as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
For SB Partners, LLC, Hiren Boston, LLC, and SB Partners Three, LLC, income or loss is allocated to us and our joint venture partners consistent with the allocation of cash distributions in accordance with the joint venture agreements. This results in an income allocation consistent with our percentage of ownership interests. When we absorb cumulative losses equal to our accounting basis in the joint venture, our investment balance is $0 as presented in the table above.
Any difference between the carrying amount of any of our investments noted above and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets.
