3.	Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We had a preferred equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture (“JV”) that owned four communities located in Arizona, providing independent living, assisted living and memory care services. During 2020, the JV sold the four properties comprising the JV (“Properties”) and received liquidation proceeds totaling $17,848,000 and incurred $758,000 of losses.

During 2020, we provided preferred capital contribution commitments to two joint ventures (“JVs”). We determined that each of these JVs meets the accounting criteria to be considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”). We are not the primary beneficiary of the JVs as we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the JVs’ economic performance. However, we do have significant influence over the JVs. Therefore, we have accounted for the JVs using the equity method of accounting.
