Our investments in real estate joint ventures are reduced by the percentage of the profits earned for leasing and development services associated with our ownership interest in each joint venture. Our carrying value of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures differs from our share of the assets reported in the “Summary Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Joint Ventures” shown below due to adjustments to the book basis, including intercompany profits on sales of services that are capitalized by the unconsolidated joint ventures. The differences in basis (totaling $3.8 million as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019) are amortized over the various useful lives of the related assets.



Condensed combined summary financial information of unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for using the equity method is as follows (in thousands):
