REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS [Abstract] |
REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS | NOTE 11 • REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Redeemable noncontrolling interests on our Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the noncontrolling interest in a joint venture of the Company in which the Company's unaffiliated partner, at its election, could require the Company to buy its interest at a purchase price to be determined by an appraisal conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or at a negotiated price. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented at the greater of their carrying amount or redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to common shares of beneficial interest on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal year 2014 the Company identified an error pertaining to the reporting for a noncontrolling interest in a consolidated real estate joint venture formed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013 for which the holder of such interest has the right to require the Company to acquire the interest at fair value twelve months after the final certificate of occupancy is obtained for the joint venture's development project. This error resulted in an overstatement of equity and offsetting understatement of the line entitled "redeemable noncontrolling interests – consolidated real estate entities" in the mezzanine section of the Company's consolidated balance sheet of $5.9 million as of July 31, 2013. The Company revised its previously issued statement of equity to correct the effect of this error. See Note 2 for additional information. As of July 31, 2014 and 2013, the estimated redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $6.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Below is a table reflecting the activity of the redeemable noncontrolling interests.
