 and there are no significant contingencies relating to a sale. When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Company discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the fair value.  If the fair value of the assets, less estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying value of the assets, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recognized and recorded within the Unrealized gains (losses) on disposition of rental property to reflect the estimated fair value of the assets. The Company will continue to review the property for subsequent changes in the fair value, and may recognize an additional impairment charge, if warranted.The Company classifies assets held for sale or sold as discontinued operations if the disposal groups represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.

If the venture subsequently generates income, the Company only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. If the venture subsequently makes

distributions and the Company does not have an implied or actual commitment to support the operations of the venture, the Company will not record a basis less than zero, rather such amounts will be recorded as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures. On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including the underlying investment property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be
