On August 30, 2012, the Company acquired a 51 percent ownership interest in UNIK. The redeemable non-controlling interest was measured at fair value at the date of acquisition and was reported on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Redeemable non-controlling interest." On August 31, 2015, the Company acquired the remaining 49 percent ownership in UNIK for $46,018. Due to put rights held by the non-controlling shareholders after the Company's original investment, the non-controlling interest was previously reported as a liability rather than permanent equity. The Company agreed to cancel this put option in conjunction with the acquisition of the remaining 49 percent ownership. The value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was adjusted to the redemption value at date of purchase and the Company recorded the adjustment to retained earnings. This adjustment to retained earnings reduces the Earnings Per Share to shareholders. The Company recorded the amount paid in excess of the redemption value in additional paid-in capital and the impact related to foreign currency in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company's overall purchase price was less than the fair value of UNIK. A reconciliation of redeemable non-controlling interest for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, is as follows:
| Three months ended September 30, 2015 |  | Nine months ended September 30, 2015
Balance, beginning of period | $ | 14,992 |  |  | $ | 16,590 |
Net gain attributable to redeemable non-controlling interest | 531 |  |  | 1,190 |
Currency translation adjustment | (1,953 | ) |  | (4,210 | )
Adjustment to redemption value | 9,413 |  |  | 9,413 |
Excess purchase amount over redemption value | 23,035 |  |  | 23,035 |
Purchase of non-controlling interest | (46,018 | ) |  | (46,018 | )
