We recognized (income) expense from unconsolidated joint ventures of $(0.8) million and $(0.3) million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $(0.3) million and $(3.8) million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 we made capital contributions of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, and received capital and earnings distributions of $1.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

The timing of cash obligations under the joint venture and any related financing agreements varies by agreement. If additional capital contributions are required and approved, we would need to contribute our pro rata portion of those capital needs in order to not dilute our ownership in the joint ventures. While future capital contributions may be required, we believe the total amount of such contributions will be limited. Our maximum financial loss exposure related to joint ventures is unlikely to exceed the combined investment and limited recourse guaranty totals.
