6. Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities

Included within the condensed consolidated financial statements is the 50% owned joint venture with AB Dothan, LLC, that is deemed a VIE, and for which the Company is the primary beneficiary as it has the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. The joint venture’s activities principally consist of owning and operating a neighborhood retail center with 171,670 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) located in Dothan, Alabama.

As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, total carrying amount of assets was approximately $15.8 million and $15.9 million, respectively, which includes approximately $13.6 million of real estate assets at the end of each period. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total carrying amount of liabilities was approximately $14.3 million.

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities

On December 9, 2010, the Company loaned $2.0 million to an unaffiliated borrower which has been identified as a VIE. In June 2012, the counterparty repaid the loan in full. The Company did not consolidate the VIE because it did not have the ability to control the activities that most significantly impacted the VIE’s economic performance. See Note 7 for an additional description of the nature, purposes and activities of the Company’s VIE and interests therein.
