Noncontrolling ownership interests in consolidated subsidiaries are presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition within Equity as a component separate from Member’s equity. Net Earnings in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Earnings includes earnings attributable to both our equity investor and the noncontrolling interests. There has been no other comprehensive income or loss attributed to noncontrolling interests for the three and six months ended August 31, 2013, three months ended February 28, 2013 and three and nine months ended August 31, 2012 because all other comprehensive income or loss is attributed to us. On March 1, 2013, ownership interests in JSOP and JESOP were redeemed at the carrying value of the interests as of February 28, 2013 and the entities dissolved at no gain or loss to us. Residual cash redemption payments are expected to be made in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Interests of Consolidated Subsidiaries

Interests in consolidated subsidiaries that meet the definition of mandatorily redeemable financial instruments require liability classification and remeasurement at the estimated amount of cash that would be due and payable to settle such interests under the applicable entity’s organization agreement. On April 1, 2013, mandatorily redeemable financial instruments, representing Leucadia’s member’s equity interests held in Jefferies High Yield Holdings, LLC (“JHYH”), were redeemed and subsequently contributed back to us by Leucadia as additional equity in Jefferies Group LLC.

Prior to redemption, the mandatorily redeemable financial instruments were entitled to a pro rata share of the profits and losses of JHYH and changes to these mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of JHYH reported in Net revenues and reflected as Interest on mandatorily redeemable preferred interests of consolidated subsidiaries on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The carrying amount of the Mandatorily redeemable preferred interests of consolidated subsidiaries was approximately $348.1 million at November 30, 2012.
