Investments In and Advances To Affiliates | Investments in and Advances to Affiliates Unconsolidated Affiliates We have equity interests of up to 50.0% in various joint ventures with unrelated third parties that are accounted for using the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence over their operating and financing policies.

During the first quarter of 2013, our DLF II joint venture sold an office property to unrelated third parties for a sale price of $10.1 million (after $0.3 million in closing credits to buyer for free rent) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of less than $0.1 million. As our cost basis is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, we recorded $0.4 million of gain through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. During the first quarter of 2013, our DLF I joint venture recorded impairments of real estate assets of $4.8 million on an office property located in Atlanta, GA and an office property located in Charlotte, NC. We recorded $1.0 million as our share of this impairment charge through equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates. These impairments were due to a change in the assumed timing of future dispositions and leasing assumptions, which reduced the future expected cash flows from the properties.
