12. | Noncontrolling Interests
Prologis, L.P. We report noncontrolling interests related to several entities we consolidate but of which we do not own 100% of the common equity. These entities include two real estate partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties. Depending on the specific partnership agreements, these limited partnership units are exchangeable into shares of the Parent’s common stock (or cash), generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one unit. We evaluated the noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or common stock at the option of the issuer to determine whether temporary or permanent equity classification on the balance sheet is appropriate, including the requirement to settle in unregistered shares, and determined that these units meet the requirements to qualify for presentation as permanent equity. We also consolidate several entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity and the units of the entity are not exchangeable into our common stock. As discussed in Note 3, we began consolidating the co-investment venture NAIF in October 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, we formed a new U.S. co-investment venture, Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture, in which we hold a 55% equity ownership interest and have one partner. The venture is consolidated due to the structure and voting rights of the venture. At closing, the venture acquired from us a portfolio of 66 operating properties aggregating 12.8 million square feet for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 billion. In the second quarter of 2013, we acquired our partners’ interest in Prologis Institutional Alliance Fund II (“Fund II”), a consolidated co-investment venture. In connection with this transaction, we paid $245.8 million and issued approximately 805,000 limited partnership units worth $31.3 million in one of our limited partnerships based primarily on appraised values of the properties. These units are exchangeable into cash or an equal number of shares of our common stock, at our option. In the second quarter of 2013, we earned a promote from Fund II, of $18.8 million from the fund, which was based on the venture’s cumulative returns of the investors over the life of the venture. Of that amount, $13.5 million represented the third-party investors’ portion and is reflected as a component of Noncontrolling Interest in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prologis, Inc. The noncontrolling interest of the Parent includes the noncontrolling interests presented in the Operating Partnership, as well as the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent. During 2013, net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests was $10.1 million, of which $0.5 million was a loss from continuing operations and $10.6 million was income from discontinued operations. Amounts allocated to discontinued operations for 2012 were not considered significant. The following is a summary of the noncontrolling interest and the consolidated entity’s total investment in real estate and debt at December 31 (dollars and units in thousands):
