(1)
These joint ventures consist of undeveloped land.
(2)
Equity investment includes the Company’s investment of approximately $(0.1) million, plus by the excess basis difference on the transaction of approximately $(6.7) million, which is being amortized over the life of the properties. This joint venture is presented under “Liabilities” on the Company’s Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
(3)
In the first quarter 2012, the Company sold its noncontrolling interest in this joint venture (see below).
(4)
The Company's noncontrolling interest in this joint venture was redeemed effective as of June 30, 2012 (see below).
(5)
In the fourth quarter 2011, the Company sold its noncontrolling interest in this joint venture.
(6)
Net investment in partially-owned entities as of December 31, 2011 includes the Trust's $4.1 million contingent obligation related to the DRA/CLP JV. CRLP's net investment in partially owned entities was $(15.1) million as of December 31, 2011.
Effective June 30, 2012, the Company's remaining 15% interest in the 18-asset DRA/CLP joint venture was redeemed by the joint venture in exchange for $2.0 million, and the Company is no longer responsible for approximately $111.3 million of mortgage debt, which represented the Company's pro rata share of the joint venture's mortgage debt. The $2.0 million contingent consideration is payable to the Company following the occurrence of one or more capital events and after certain returns have been achieved with respect to additional capital expected to be invested in the joint venture by other members of the joint venture. As of the date of the transaction, the Company assigned no value to this consideration. In addition, the Trust was released from a $4.1 million contingent liability, which represents the Trust's pro rata share of such guaranty obligation resulting from a debt guaranty provided by the joint venture. As a result of the transaction, the Company recognized a gain of approximately $21.9 million (presented in “Income (loss) from partially-owned unconsolidated entities” on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss)), the majority of which had been deferred since the formation of the DRA/CLP joint venture in 2007. The gain is net of a $3.2 million non-cash impairment charge, which represents the Company's pro-rata share of an impairment recorded by the joint venture for 2011, but omitted in the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Along with the redemption of its interest in the DRA/CLP joint venture, the Company is reducing its workforce in the commercial segment by 21 employees through the elimination of certain positions resulting in the Company accruing an aggregate of approximately $1.1 million in termination benefits and severance-related charges. These charges were included in “Income (loss) from partially-owned unconsolidated entities” on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, and reflected in “Accrued expenses” on the Company's Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2012. The Company expects to transition management and certain leasing responsibilities to a third party by August 31, 2012.
In February 2012, the Company sold its 25% noncontrolling joint venture interest in Colonial Promenade Madison, a 111,000 square-foot retail center located in Huntsville, Alabama, to a minority partner for total consideration of $3.0 million. The Company recognized a gain of approximately $1.0 million on this transaction. Proceeds from the sale were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on the Company's unsecured credit facility. As a result of this transaction, the Company no longer has an interest in this joint venture.
Combined financial information for the Company’s investments in unconsolidated partially-owned entities since the respective dates of the Company’s acquisitions is as follows (the following tables give effect to the DRA/CLP joint venture disposition transaction, effective as of June 30, 2012, as described above):
