(1) This partnership agreement has a unilateral right for election to dissolve the partnership and receive a DIK upon liquidation; therefore, the Company has applied the Restricted Gain Method to determine the amount of gain recognized on property sales to this partnership. During 2012, the Company did not sell any properties to this real estate partnership.

(2) On July 25, 2012, the Company sold a 15-property portfolio and retained a $47.5 million, 10.5% preferred stock investment in the entity that owns the portfolio. Regency does not provide leasing or management services for the Portfolio after closing. As the property holdings of BRET do not impact the rate of return on Regency's preferred stock investment, BRET's portfolio information is not included.

In addition to earning its pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these real estate partnerships, the Company received recurring, market-based fees for asset management, property management, and leasing, as well as fees for investment and financing services, of $24.2 million, $25.4 million, and $29.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The Company also received non-recurring transaction fees of $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the summarized balance sheet information for the investments in real estate partnerships, on a combined basis, is as follows (in thousands):
