1. A significant but non-controlling ownership of less than 50% of a company's voting shares by either an investor or another company.

Taobiz explains Minority Interest
1. In accounting terms, if a company owns a minority interest in another company but only has a minority passive position , then all that is recorded from this investment are the dividends received from the minority interest. If the company has a minority active position , then both dividends and a percent of income are recorded on the company's books.
2. If ABC Corp. owns 90% of XYZ inc, which is a $100 million company, on ABC Corp.'s balance sheet, there would be a $10 million liability in minority interest account to represent the 10% of XYZ Inc. that ABC Corp does not own.
