11. Noncontrolling Interests


Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling financial interest in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests also includes amounts related to partnership units issued by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company in connection with certain property acquisitions.  Partnership units which are determined to be mandatorily redeemable under the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
