NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
NOTE 6 - NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

As of September 30, 2012, limited partners of the Operating Partnership other than the Company owned 6,084,808 Common Units representing an approximate 16% limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.  Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, redemption rights of the limited partners other than the Company enable those limited partners, at their election, to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their Common Units in exchange for cash based upon the fair value of an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption, or at the Company’s option, shares of the Company’s common stock, on a one-for-one basis.  The number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon redemption of Common Units may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events such as share dividends, share subdivisions or combinations.

The Company classifies these Common Units as noncontrolling interests as a component of permanent equity on the September 30, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheet. The share of net income (loss) allocated to these Common Units is reported on the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations for three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the period of February 14, 2011 through September 30, 2011 as net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. During the second and third quarters of 2012, 3,270,062 and 745,130 Common Units were redeemed, respectively, and the Company elected to issue shares of Common Stock to the holders.
