Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of 40% estimated tax:

	Foreign Currency Translation			Forward Contract Foreign Currency			Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
(Dollars in millions)
Balance at December 31, 2013	$	4.3		$	4.9		$	9.2
Unrealized losses, arising during the period	(1.2		)	(2.4		)	(3.6		)
Amounts reclassified out of AOCI during the period	1.2			—			1.2
Taxes on unrealized losses, arising during the period	—			0.9			0.9
Balance at March 31, 2014	$	4.3		$	3.4		$	7.7

The local currencies for our interests in foreign operations include the euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. The related amounts on our balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on our statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. The increase in the unrealized losses on foreign currency translation is a result of the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, the British pound and the Japanese yen during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

In order to manage currency fluctuations, the Company entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its Japanese yen-based investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a gross unrealized loss of $0.8 million related to these hedges. Kennedy Wilson also has a currency forward contract to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollars) and the functional currency (euros and GBP) of certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (see note 7 for more detail). During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recognized a gross unrealized gain of $0.1 million related to its hedges on the euro and a gross unrealized loss of $1.7 million related to its hedges on the Great Britain pound.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests consist of the ownership interests of noncontrolling shareholders in consolidated subsidiaries,

and are presented separately on the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 the Company has noncontrolling interest of $1.7 billion and $50.6 million, respectively.

The Company currently owns approximately 12.2% of KWE’s total issued share capital as of March 31, 2014.  Due to the terms provided in the investment management agreement between KWE and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Company consolidates KWE’s results in its consolidated financial statements.  See Note 1 for additional details.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $1.4 billion increase to non-controlling interest, net of issuance costs, relating to the equity of the noncontrolling shareholders of KWE.  The Company’s share of the issuance costs was $6.5 million.

As further discussed in Note 4, the Company was required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of six operating properties and recorded an increase of $167.9 million to noncontrolling interest relating to the equity of the noncontrolling shareholders of these properties. See note 4.
