    Operating performance is related to underlying performance from unconsolidated investments. Realized (losses) gains are related to asset sales. Fair value gains primarily related to resyndications under the Company's VHH partnership and net foreign exchange movements on fair value European joint ventures.
During the three months ended September 30, 2020 there was a retail property in the United Kingdom held within a joint venture that the Company recognized an $6.7 million impairment loss through income from unconsolidated investments as the property was sold subsequent to September 30, 2020 at a price below its carrying value. The Company evaluated the remaining assets within the joint venture as of September 30, 2020 and the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were in excess of their current carrying value so no impairment was recorded on the remaining assets.
Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH")
    As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company's investment in VHH was $139.8 million and $145.2 million, respectively. The decrease in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 related to cash distributions associated development projects in VHH. Distributions in the current period primarily relate to the refund of advances on two development projects in which VHH provides cash for the construction costs in advance, and other partners subsequently pay their share of the costs back to VHH. Fair value gains in the current period primarily relate to resyndications in which VHH dissolves an existing partnership and recapitalizes into a new partnership with tax exempt bonds and tax credits
that are sold to a new tax credit partner and, in many cases, yields cash back to VHH. Upon resyndication, VHH retains a GP interest in the partnership and receives various future streams of cash flows including: development fees, asset management fees, other GP management fees and distributions from operations. Prior period fair value gains primarily relate to cap rate compress.
Capital Commitments
    As of September 30, 2020, Kennedy Wilson had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $98.6 million to six of its unconsolidated joint ventures, including $78.7 million relating to three closed-end funds managed by Kennedy Wilson, under the respective operating agreements. The Company may be called upon to contribute additional capital to joint ventures in satisfaction of such capital commitment obligations.
