11.       OTHER NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Other noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interests of various third parties in two consolidated self-storage properties as of September 30, 2013.  One of these consolidated properties was undeveloped at September 30, 2013.  The ownership interests of the third-party owners range from 3.3% to 10.0%.  Other noncontrolling interests are included in the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.  The income or losses attributable to these third-party owners based on percentages outlined in the related agreements are reflected in net income allocated to Operating Partnership and other noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

 

In February 2013, the Company purchased one of its joint venture partner’s 1.7% capital interest and 17% profit interest in one of these consolidated properties for $200.  As a result, the Company’s capital interest percentage in this joint venture increased from 95% to 96.7%.  Since the Company retained its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction.  The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced to reflect the purchase and the difference between the price paid by the Company and the adjustment to the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as an adjustment to equity attributable to the parent.

 

In May 2013, the Company purchased one of its joint venture partner’s 27.65% capital interest and 35% profit interest in a previously unconsolidated joint venture for $950.  The partner’s interest was reported in other noncontrolling interests prior to the purchase.  As a result of the acquisition, the property became wholly-owned by the Company.  Since the Company retained its controlling financial interest in the subsidiary, this transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction.  The carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest was reduced to zero to reflect the purchase and the difference between the price paid by the Company and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was recorded as an adjustment to equity attributable to the parent.
