    The Company’s share of the Joint Venture Company’s results of operations for the

$0.3
 million and
$3.0
 million, respectively.  
The Company’s share in the results of operations for the
three
 and
nine
months ended March
31
, 2019 
was a loss of approximately
$0.2
 million and 
$3.5
 million, respectively.  
The Joint Venture Company loss does
not
include any provisions related to income taxes as the Joint Venture Company is treated as a partnership for income tax purposes. As of 
March 31, 2020 
and
June 30, 2019,
the Company’s share of the Joint Venture Company’s inception-to-date cumulative loss of approximately
$34.4
 million and
$31.5
 million, respectively, exceeded the historical book value of our investment in the Joint Venture Company, of
$1.4
million. Therefore, the investment in the Joint Venture Company had a balance of
zero
as of 
 each March 31, 2020
and
June 30, 2019.
The Company is currently obligated to make additional capital contributions to the Joint Venture Company in proportion to its percentage interest in the Joint Venture Company in order to maintain its ownership in the Joint Venture Company to be diluted.  Therefore, the Company only records losses up to the point of its cumulative investment, which was approximately 
$11.4
 million as of March
31,
2020.
The portion of the cumulative loss that exceeds the Company’s investment will be suspended and recognized against earnings, if any, from the Company’s investment in the Joint Venture Company in future periods.
The suspended losses for the period from inception to
March 31, 2020 
are approximately
$23.0
 million. The following table presents the condensed unaudited results of operations for the Joint Venture Company for the
