Accounting For Investments in Joint Ventures | Accounting for Investments in Joint Ventures For joint ventures where the Company holds more than 50% of the voting interest and has significant influence, the joint venture is consolidated with the presentation of non-controlling interest. In determining whether significant influence exists, the Company considers its participation in policy-making decisions and its representation on the venture’s management committee. For joint ventures in which the Company does not have joint control or significant influence, the cost method is used. Under the cost method, these investments are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. For those joint ventures in which there is joint control between the parties, the equity method is utilized whereby the Company’s share of the ventures’ earnings and losses is included in the statement of operations as earnings in joint ventures and its investments therein are adjusted by a similar amount. The Company periodically assesses its investments in joint ventures for impairment. If management determines that a decline in fair value is other than temporary it will write-down the investment and charge the impairment against operations. At December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company’s percentage ownership and method of accounting for each joint venture is as follows:
| December 31, 2017 | December 31, 2016
Joint Venture | % Ownership | Significant Influence? | Accounting Method | % Ownership | Significant Influence? | Accounting Method
NJMJV | 65% | Yes | Consolidated | 65% | Yes | Consolidated
Butte Highlands Joint Venture (“BHJV”) | 50% | No | Cost | 50% | No | Cost
