The company classifies investments within its securities portfolio as available-for-sale financial instruments and accordingly records changes in the market value of these investments in other comprehensive income. During the three months ended September 30, 2009, unrealized gains recorded in other comprehensive income were $2.0 million after tax, compared with unrealized losses of $2.1 million in the same period in the prior year. As a result, the net book value attributed to the preferred shares increased to $47.5 million or $28.29 per preferred share compared to $42.4 million or $25.25 per preferred shares at December 31, 2008.
Update on Preferred Share Acquisition
On August 11, 2009, the company's major shareholder, Brookfield Asset Management Inc., ("Brookfield"), acquired 103,117 Class E Preferred Shares, Series 1 of the company (the "Preferred Shares") at a price of $37.50 for each Preferred Share pursuant to an offer to all holders of Preferred Shares. The acquisition represented 86.5% of the Preferred Shares not already held by Brookfield, increasing Brookfield's ownership of the Preferred Shares to approximately 99%. On September 28, 2009, the company's shareholders approved the amalgamation of West Street with a wholly owned subsidiary of Brookfield. The amalgamation was completed on October 1, 2009, and as a result, Brookfield owns beneficially all of the preferred shares which were delisted from the TSX venture exchange on October 6, 2009.
