The entity's proportionate share for the period of the net income (loss) of its investees (such as unconsolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures) which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Such amounts typically reflect adjustments similar to those made in preparing consolidated statements, including adjustments to eliminate intercompany gains and losses, and to amortize, if appropriate, any difference between cost and underlying equity in net assets of the investee at the date of investment. This item also includes the portion of the distribution from joint ventures representing a return of capital in excess of the carrying value of the joint venture.
