NOTE 11 . REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the noncontrolling interest in a joint venture of the Company in which the Company's unaffiliated partner, at its election, could require the Company to buy its interest at a purchase price to be determined by an appraisal conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or at a negotiated price. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to common shares of beneficial interest on our consolidated balance sheets. The Company acquired this interest from its joint venture partner in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012, and, following this acquisition, currently has no redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate entities. As of January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, the estimated redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $0 and $987,000, respectively. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.
