(1)   The carrying amount of our investment in this joint venture was lower than our share of the equity in the joint venture by $4.5 million at December 31, 2012 and $5.2 million at December 31, 2011 due to our deferral of gain on the contribution by us of real estate into the joint venture upon its formation and our discontinuance of the equity method effective October 2012, as discussed below.  A difference will continue to exist to the extent the nature of our continuing involvement in the joint venture remains the same.
(2)   Derived from the sum of our investment balance and maximum additional unilateral capital contributions or loans required from us.  Not reported above are additional amounts that we and our partner are required to fund when needed by this joint venture; these funding requirements are proportional to our respective ownership percentages.  Also not reported above are additional unilateral contributions or loans from us, the amounts of which are uncertain, that we would be required to make if certain contingent events occur (see Note 20).
