PART I
General
Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. is a Maryland corporation that was formed on June 3, 2009. As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Resource Real Estate Opportunity OP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and to its subsidiaries. We focus primarily on acquiring non-performing real estate loans and distressed real estate that is being sold at discounted prices. We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and to operate as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Our objectives are to preserve stockholder capital, realize growth in the value of our investments, increase cash distributions through increased cash flow from operations or asset sales, and enable stockholders to realize a return on their investments. As of December 31, 2012, we owned 13 multifamily properties, one non-performing loan and two performing loans, as described further in “Item 2. Properties” below. We intend to purchase a diversified portfolio of discounted U.S. commercial real estate and real estate-related debt that has been specifically discounted due to the effects of recent economic events and high levels of leverage on U.S. commercial real estate, including properties that may benefit from extensive renovations that may increase their long-term values.
We are externally managed by Resource Real Estate Opportunity Advisor, LLC, which we refer to as our Advisor, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc., or RAI, a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, commercial finance and financial fund management and commercial finance sectors. To provide its services, the Advisor draws upon RAI, its management team and their collective investment experience.
Our Offerings
On September 15, 2009, we commenced a private placement offering to accredited investors for the sale of up to 5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The offering closed on June 9, 2010, at which time we had raised aggregate gross proceeds of $12.8 million, which resulted in the issuance of 1,283,727 common shares, including 20,000 shares purchased by our Advisor, and net proceeds of approximately $11.3 million after payment of approximately $1.5 million in syndication costs. Also, in conjunction with the private offering, we offered 5,000 shares of convertible stock at a price of $1 per share. Investors acquired 937 shares of the convertible stock; the Advisor purchased the remaining 4,063 shares.
On June 16, 2010, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-160463), covering a primary public offering of up to 75,000,000 shares of common stock and a public offering pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan of up to an additional 7,500,000 shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and we commenced our initial public offering, which is on-going. We engaged an affiliate of our Advisor, Resource Securities, Inc. (previously Chadwick Securities, Inc.), or Resource Securities, to serve as the dealer manager of the offering. Pursuant to a dealer manager agreement, we are offering shares of our common stock in our primary offering for $10 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of investors. We are also offering shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to $9.50 per share. As of December 31, 2012, a net total of 20,993,303 shares of common stock had been issued in connection with our public offering, resulting in approximately $208.9 million of gross offering proceeds. This share total includes 976,832 issued to stockholders as stock distributions and 110,740 shares bought under the distribution reinvestment plan less 4,500 shares redeemed by the Advisor and 11,077 shares redeemed by investors pursuant to our share redemption program.
On March 22, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the filing of a registration statement to register a follow-on offering. Accordingly, the current offering, which is set to terminate June 16, 2013 may be extended for up to 180 days if we file the registration statement before June 16, 2013. However, we can make no assurances that we will file such a registration statement.
Our Business Strategy
Our business strategy has a particular focus on multifamily assets, although we may also purchase interests in other types of commercial property assets consistent with our investment objectives. Our targeted portfolio will consist of commercial real estate assets, principally (i) non-performing or distressed loans, including but not limited to first- and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, B-Notes and other loans, (ii) real estate owned by financial institutions, or REO, usually as a result of foreclosure, (iii) value-add multifamily rental properties, (iv) discounted investment grade commercial mortgage-backed securities, and (v) other real estate related assets we purchase either directly or with a co-investor or joint venture partner. We anticipate holding approximately 55% of our total assets in categories (i) and (ii) listed above, 30% of our total assets in category (iii) and 15% of our assets in category (iv). We seek to acquire these assets at a discount to their perceived value and we may sell or refinance them when market conditions warrant. With respect to the discounted loans, we may negotiate full or discounted payoffs with the borrowers, restructure the loans or acquire title to the underlying properties through receipt of a deed in lieu or through a foreclosure proceeding. With respect to value-add properties, selected REO properties and properties we acquire or control through foreclosure or restructuring, we expect to enhance their value by instituting significant renovations to update their appearance, aggressively marketing them and increasing occupancy in order to realize significant capital appreciation and increase current income. Upon stabilization, we may refinance or sell the properties. We expect to hold any commercial mortgage-backed securities until their maturity, a beneficial selling opportunity presents itself, or the earlier liquidation of our assets.
With respect to our real estate-related debt investments, we are focused on acquiring loans with an acquisition cost of between $5.0 million and $100.0 million that are secured directly or indirectly by multifamily rental or other properties. We plan on acquiring these non-performing and distressed loans on a discounted basis. To the extent that we foreclose on the loan and acquire the underlying property, we plan to reposition the property to enhance its value and, as a result, our portfolio.
We believe the continued disruption in the commercial real estate and credit markets that began with the 2007 economic downturn and parallel credit crisis presents an attractive environment to acquire U.S. commercial real estate related debt. Our Advisor, its predecessors and its affiliates have over 20 years of experience in acquiring, managing and disposing of real estate assets. We believe our extensive experience in discounted real estate assets and multifamily rental properties along with our proven experience sponsoring a publicly traded REIT and our long standing contacts in the financial services industry distinguish us from our competitors.
Our Operating Policies and Strategies
Our Advisor has the primary responsibility for the selection of investments, the negotiation of these investments, and financing, asset-management and disposition decisions. A majority of our Board of Directors and a majority of the Conflicts Committee, which includes only our three independent directors, approves all proposed real estate property investments and certain significant real estate related debt investments. Our Board of Directors meets regularly to monitor the execution of our investment strategies and our progress in achieving our investment objectives.
We may use leverage for our acquisitions in the form of both REIT level financing and individual investment financing. Such financing, both at the REIT level and at the individual investment level, may also be obtained from the seller of an investment. Although there is no limit on the amount we can borrow to acquire a single real estate investment, we may not leverage our assets with debt financing such that our total liabilities exceed 75% of the aggregate value of our assets unless a majority of our independent directors finds substantial justification for borrowing a greater amount.
Our Advisor and our Property Manager
Our Advisor manages our day-to-day operations and our portfolio of real estate investments, and provides asset management, marketing, investor relations, and other administrative services on our behalf, all subject to the supervision of our Board of Directors. Our Advisor has invested approximately $1.8 million in us and as of December 31, 2012, it owned 199,790 shares of our common stock and 49,063 shares of our convertible stock. Under certain circumstances, the convertible shares may be converted into shares of our common stock. In order to more closely align our investment objectives and goals with those of our Advisor, prior to the termination of our initial public offering, our Advisor has agreed to invest 1% of the first $250.0 million invested in us by non-affiliated investors, or up to $2.5 million.
Through our Advisor, we have a management agreement with Resource Real Estate Opportunity Manager, LLC, an affiliate of our Advisor, or our Manager, to provide property management services, as applicable, for most of the properties or other real estate related assets, in each case where our Advisor is able to control the operational management of such properties. Our Manager may subcontract with an affiliate or third party to provide day-to-day property management, construction management and/or other property specific functions as applicable for the properties it manages. Our Manager also manages our real estate-related debt investments.
Resource Real Estate Management, Inc. d/b/a “Resource Residential,” an affiliate of RAI, is a property management company that as of December 31, 2012, managed over 66 multifamily rental properties in 18 states with over 19,000 units. Resource Residential has over 500 employees. The senior managers and employees of Resource Residential, acting through Resource Real Estate Opportunity Manager, assist in providing property management as well as construction management services to us. Resource Real Estate Opportunity Manager has subcontracted with Resource Residential to manage some of the real estate investments that we own.
Distributions
Our Board of Directors declared two cash dividends of $0.15 and $0.075 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Because we intend to fund cash distributions from cash flow and strategic financings, at this time we cannot guaranty that our board of directors will declare distributions on a set monthly or quarterly basis. Rather, the board of directors will declare distributions from time to time based on cash flow from our investments and our investment and financing activities. As such, we can also give no assurances as to the timing, amount or notice with respect to any other future distribution declarations.
Our Board of Directors also declared seven stock distributions (four in 2011 and three in 2012), each for 0.015 shares, or 1.5%, for each outstanding share of common stock. In addition, our Board declared one stock distribution of 0.0075 shares, or 0.75%, for each outstanding share of common stock on December 31, 2012 that was distributed on January 15, 2013.
As of December 31, 2012, our cumulative cash distributions, stock distributions and net losses since our formation were $1.9 million, $9.8 million and $19.7 million, respectively.
Competition
We believe that the current market for properties that meet our investment objectives is extremely competitive and many of our competitors have greater resources than we do. We believe that our multifamily communities are suitable for their intended purposes and adequately covered by insurance. There are a number of comparable properties located in the same submarkets that might compete with them. We compete with numerous other entities engaged in real estate investment activities, including individuals, corporations, banks and insurance company investment accounts, other REITs, real estate limited partnerships, the U.S. Government and other entities, to acquire, manage and sell real estate properties and real estate related assets. Many of our expected competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investments may increase.
Environmental
As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state and local governments. Compliance with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations, and management does not believe it will have such an impact in the future. However, we cannot predict the impact of unforeseen environmental contingencies or new or changed laws or regulations on properties in which we hold an interest, or on properties that may be acquired directly or indirectly in the future.
Employees and Economic Dependency
We have no paid employees. The employees of our Advisor or its affiliates provide management, acquisition, advisory and certain administrative services for us. We are dependent on our Advisor and our dealer manager for certain services that are essential to us, including the sale of our shares in our ongoing initial public offering; the identification, evaluation, negotiation, purchase and disposition of properties and other investments; management of the daily operations of our portfolio; and other general and administrative responsibilities. In the event that these affiliated companies are unable to provide the respective services, we will be required to obtain such services from other sources.

(1) | Purchase price excludes closing costs and acquisition expenses. |
| |
(2) | Physical occupancy rate is defined as the units occupied as of December 31, 2012 divided by the total number of residential units. |
| |
(3) | Effective monthly rental revenue per unit has been calculated based on the leases in effect as of December 31, 2012, adjusted for any tenant concessions, such as free rent. Monthly rental revenue per unit only includes base rents for the occupied units, including affordable housing payments and subsidies; and does not include other charges for storage, parking, pets, cleaning, clubhouse or other miscellaneous amounts. |
| |
(4) | In addition to its apartment units, Cannery Lofts contains ten commercial spaces of which seven are occupied and one parking garage with parking spaces available to rent. |
| |
(5) | Cannery Lofts originally served as the collateral for a non-performing note that we purchased on May 13, 2011. On December 21, 2011, we entered into a settlement agreement with the borrower whereby the borrower agreed to a consensual foreclosure of the Cannery Note. We formally received title to the property on June 6, 2012. |
| |
(6) | Heatherwood Apartments originally served as collateral for a non-performing note that we purchased on March 15, 2011. On August 8, 2011, we were the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Heatherwood Apartments; however, we did not take title to the property until the borrower's redemption period terminated on February 18, 2012. |
| |
(7) | Campus Club Apartments originally served as collateral for a non-performing that we purchased on October 21, 2011. On February 9, 2012, we were the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of the Campus Club Apartments. We took title to the property on February 21, 2012 |
| |
(8) | In addition to its apartment units, Vista Apartment Homes (formerly known as Iroquois Apartments) contains five commercial spaces, two of which are occupied, and a number of antennae on the roof of the property that generate additional income. |
| |
(9) | Vista Apartment Homes originally served as the collateral for a non-performing promissory note that we purchased on June 17, 2011. The contract purchase price for the note was $12.0 million, excluding closing costs. Upon acquiring the note, we contacted the borrower but were unsuccessful in any attempt to |
restructure the loan or negotiate a discounted payoff of the note. After these efforts proved unsuccessful, we scheduled a sheriff's sale of Iroquois Apartments and, on August 2, 2011, we were the successful bidder at such sheriff's sale and formally received title to the property.
| |
(10) | Town Park (formerly known as Crestwood Crossings) originally served as collateral for two non-performing promissory notes that we purchased on December 21, 2010. The contract purchase price for the notes was $6.25 million, excluding closing costs. Upon acquiring the notes, we discussed with the borrower the possibility of a note restructuring or discounted payoff. After these efforts proved unsuccessful, we commenced foreclosure proceedings and, on March 2, 2011, formally received title to the property. |
| |
(11) | Arcadia at Westheimer originally served as the collateral for a non-performing promissory note that we purchased on September 3, 2010. The contract purchase price for the note was $7.8 million, excluding closing costs. Upon acquiring the note, we discussed with the borrower the possibility of a note restructuring or discounted payoff. After these efforts proved unsuccessful, we commenced foreclosure proceedings and, on October 5, 2010, formally received title to the property. |
Real Estate-Related Investments
As of December 31, 2012, we owned three real estate loans.

(1) | Purchase price represents the amount funded by us to acquire the loan and does not include closing costs and direct acquisition fees. |
| |
(2) | Book value of real estate loans receivable represents outstanding principal balance adjusted for unamortized acquisition discounts, acquisition fees, and direct acquisition costs. |
| |
(3) | After acquisition, the borrower under the Peterson Note defaulted by failing to pay the balance due upon maturity. We have negotiated a forbearance agreement with the borrower, and the borrower has continued to pay in accordance with the forbearance agreement. |
| |
(4) | On July 19, 2012, we were the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale of the property securing the Deerfield Note, a 166 unit multifamily townhome community located in Hermantown, Minnesota. The title to the property was transferred to us on January 20, 2013 after the expiration of the borrower's statutory redemption period. |
| |
(5) | We do not expect non-performing mortgages to perform in accordance with their contractual terms, including the repayment of the principal amount outstanding under the loans, the payment of interest at the stated amount on the face of the notes or the repayment of the loans upon their maturity dates. Thus, traditional loan metrics such as loan-to-value, principal and interest due, interest terms and maturity date are not useful measures for these investments. |
From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES |
Stockholder Information
As of March 27, 2013, we had 27,813,893 shares of common stock outstanding held by a total of 7,900 stockholders. There is no established public trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder. Pursuant to our initial public offering, we are selling shares of our common stock to the public at a price of $10.00 per share and at a price of $9.50 per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Unless and until our shares are listed on a national securities exchange, it is not expected that a public market for our shares will develop.
To assist the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, members and their associated persons that participate in our initial public offering, in meeting their customer account statement reporting obligations under the National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per-share estimated value of our common stock, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. For this purpose, the estimated value of our shares of common stock is $10 per share as of December 31, 2012. The basis for this valuation is the current public offering price of $10 per share (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers). Our Advisor has indicated that it intends to use the most recent price paid to acquire a share in our initial public offering (ignoring purchase price discounts for certain categories of purchasers) as its estimated per share value of our shares. However, this estimated value is likely to be higher than the price at which you could resell your shares because (1) our public offering involves the payment of underwriting compensation and other directed selling efforts, which payments and efforts are likely to produce a higher sales price than could otherwise be obtained, and (2) there is no public market for our shares. Moreover, this estimated value is likely to be higher than the amount you would receive per share if we were to liquidate at this time because of the up-front fees that we pay in connection with the issuance of our shares. Our Advisor expects to continue to use the most recent public offering price for a share of our common stock as the estimated per share value reported in our annual reports on Form 10-K until we have completed our offering stage. We will consider our offering stage complete when 18 months have passed since our last sale of shares in a public offering of equity securities, whether that last sale was in this initial public offering or a public follow-on offering. (For purposes of this definition, we do not consider “public equity offerings” to include offerings on behalf of selling stockholders or offerings related to a distribution reinvestment plan, employee benefit plan or the redemption of interests in our operating partnership).
Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
During 2012, we did not issue any securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Use of Proceeds of Registered Securities
On June 16, 2010, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-160463) was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. We are offering a maximum of 75,000,000 shares in our primary offering at an aggregate offering price of up to $750.0 million, or $10.00 per share with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. Additionally, we are offering 7,500,000 million shares under our distribution reinvestment plan at an aggregate offering price of $71.25 million, or $9.50 per share. Resource Securities is the dealer manager of our offering. As of December 31, 2012, we had sold 20,993,303 shares of our common stock pursuant to our public offering, which generated gross offering proceeds of approximately $208.9 million. In addition, 110,740 shares were purchased under our distribution reinvestment plan, which generated additional gross offering proceeds of approximately $1.1 million.
From the commencement of our public offering through December 31, 2012, we incurred selling commissions, dealer manager fees, other underwriting compensation and other organization and offering costs in the amounts set forth below. We pay selling commissions and dealer manager fees to our affiliated dealer manager, Resource Securities, and Resource Securities reallows all selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fees to participating broker-dealers. In addition, we reimburse our Advisor and Resource Securities for certain offerings.
|
| | | | |
Type of Expense | | Amount |
Selling commissions | | $ | 13,094,153 |
|
Dealer manager fees | | 5,876,521 |
|
Other organization and offering costs (excluding underwriting compensation) | | 4,961,390 |
|
Total expenses | | $ | 23,932,064 |
|
From the commencement of our ongoing initial public offering through December 31, 2012, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses incurred as described above, were approximately $175.3 million. As of December 31, 2012, we have used the net proceeds from our ongoing initial public offering to acquire approximately $140.0 million in real estate and real estate-related investments and to fund $19.3 million of capital expenditure projects to improve certain of our investments. Of the amount used for the purchase of our investments, approximately $4.6 million was paid to our Advisor, as acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expense reimbursements.
Redemption of Securities
During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we redeemed shares as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | |
Period | | Total Number of Shares Redeemed (1) | | Average Price Paid per Share | | Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of a Publicly Announced Plan or Program (2) | | Approximate Dollar Value of Shares Available That May Yet Be Redeemed Under the Program |
October 2012 | | — | | $— | | 3,283 | | (3) |
November 2012 | | — | | $— | | 3,283 | | (3) |
December 2012 | | 7,794 | | $6.58 | | 11,077 | | (3) |
|
| |
(1) | All purchases of our equity securities by us in the three months ended December 31, 2012 were made pursuant to our share redemption program. |
(2) | We announced the commencement of the program on June 16, 2010, and it was subsequently amended on September 29, 2011. |
(3) | We currently limit the dollar value and number of shares that may yet be redeemed under the program as described below. |
There are several limitations on our ability to repurchase shares under the program:
We will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the effective date of redemption. Our board of directors will determine at least quarterly whether we have sufficient excess cash to repurchase shares. Generally, the cash available for redemption will be limited to proceeds from our distribution reinvestment plan plus, if we had positive operating cash flow from the previous fiscal year, 1% of all operating cash flow from the previous fiscal year.
Our share redemption program, including redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death or disability or upon confinement of a stockholder to a long-term care facility, will be available only for stockholders who purchase their shares directly from us or the transferees mentioned below, and is not intended to provide liquidity to any stockholder who acquired his or her shares by purchase from another stockholder. In connection with a request for redemption, the stockholder or his or her estate, heir or beneficiary will be required to certify to us that the stockholder acquired the shares to be repurchased either (1) directly from us or (2) from the original investor by way of (i) a bona fide gift not for value to, or for the benefit of, a member of the investor's immediate or extended family (including the investor's spouse, parents, siblings, children or grandchildren and including relatives by marriage), (ii) through a transfer to a custodian, trustee or other fiduciary for the account of the investor or members of the investor's immediate or extended family in connection with an estate planning transaction, including by bequest or inheritance upon death or (iii) operation of law.
Our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may suspend, terminate or amend our share redemption program without stockholder approval upon 30 days' notice if it determines that such suspension, termination or amendment is in our best interest. Our board may also reduce the number of shares purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund our share redemption program are needed for other purposes. These limitations apply to all redemptions, including redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death, qualifying disability or confinement to a long-term care facility.
All redemption requests tendered were honored for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Distribution Information
On April 17, 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a special, one-time cash distribution in the amount of $0.15 per share of common stock, or $1.9 million. In addition, on December 31, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a cash distribution of $0.075 per share (paid on January 15, 2013).
Because we intend to fund cash distributions from cash flow and strategic financings, at this time we cannot guaranty that our board of directors will declare distributions on a set monthly or quarterly basis. Rather, the board of directors will declare distributions from time to time based on cash flow from our investments and our investment and financing activities. As such, we can also give no assurances as to the timing, amount or notice with respect to any other future distribution declarations.
Our Board of Directors also declared seven stock distributions (four in 2011 and three in 2012), each for 0.015 shares, or 1.5%, for each outstanding share of common stock. In addition, our Board declared one stock distribution of 0.0075 shares, or 0.75%, for each outstanding share of common stock on December 31, 2012 that was distributed on January 15, 2013.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and to operate as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will be required to make aggregate annual distributions to our common stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). Our Board of Directors may authorize distributions in excess of those required for us to maintain REIT status depending on our financial condition and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant.
Our Board of Directors has authorized, and may continue to authorize in the future, special cash distributions. Our Board of Directors considers many factors before authorizing a cash distribution, including current and projected cash flow from operations, capital expenditure needs, general financial conditions and REIT qualification requirements. Although we have had little cash flow from operations available for cash distributions during the early stages of our development, we have declared, and paid two cash distributions to date. The first distribution, on May 31, 2012 was funded from proceeds of a non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the Vista Apartment Homes and the second, paid on January 15, 2013, was funded by cash flow from operations of certain cash flowing properties. To the extent permitted by Maryland law, we may borrow funds, issue new securities or sell assets to make and cover our declared distributions, all or a portion of which could be deemed a return of capital. We may also fund such distributions from advances from our Advisor or sponsor or from our Advisor's deferral of its asset management fee, although we have no present intention to do so. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of distributions we can fund from sources other than from cash flows from operations.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we paid aggregate cash distributions of $1.9 million, including $841,000 of distributions paid in cash and $1.1 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $10.3 million and net cash used in operating activities was $3.5 million. Our cumulative cash distributions and net loss from inception through December 31, 2012 were $1.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from debt financing. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in commercial real estate and real estate-related debt, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
In addition to cash distributions, our Board of Directors has, and may in the future, declare stock distributions. Although there are a number of factors that we will consider in connection with a declaration, such stock distributions are most likely to be declared if our Board of Directors believes that (i) our portfolio had appreciated in value from its aggregate acquisition cost or (ii) additional sales of common stock in our offering at the current offering price would dilute the value of a share to our then existing stockholders. Such a stock distribution would be intended to have the same effect as raising the price at which our shares of common stock are offered. We note that most of the investment opportunities that we are seeing in the market at this time are investments that are attractive more so because of their appreciation potential rather than because of their current yield. Especially in this environment and during an ongoing public offering, distributions in shares of our common stock may be in the long-term best interests of our stockholders.
We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders. We will make distributions with respect to the shares of common stock in our sole discretion. No distributions will be made with respect to shares of our convertible stock.
As of December 31, 2012, our Advisor has granted 17,550 shares of its convertible stock to employees of RAI and its subsidiaries and affiliates. Of these shares, 1,077 have been forfeited and returned to the Advisor as of December 31, 2012. The outstanding shares will vest ratably over the next three years, and 10,895 of these shares have vested as of December 31, 2012.

ITEM 7. | MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following discussion relates to our financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Statements contained in this “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. See also “Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that intends to acquire a diversified portfolio of discounted U.S. commercial real estate and real estate-related debt that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of recent economic events and high levels of leverage on U.S. commercial real estate, including properties that may benefit from extensive renovations that may increase their long-term values. Following years of unprecedented appreciation in commercial real estate values fueled by readily available and inexpensive credit, the commercial real estate market began a significant decline in late 2007 as a result of the massive contraction in the credit and securitization markets. We believe that this decline has produced an attractive environment to acquire commercial real estate and real estate-related debt at significantly discounted prices. We have a particular focus on operating multifamily assets and we intend to target this asset class while also purchasing interests in other types of commercial property assets consistent with our investment objectives. Our targeted portfolio will consist of commercial real estate assets, principally (i) non-performing or distressed loans, including but not limited to first- and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, B-Notes and other loans, (ii) real estate owned by financial institutions, (iii) multifamily rental properties to which we can add value with a capital infusion (referred to as “value add properties”), and (iv) discounted investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities. However, we are not limited in the types of real estate assets in which we may invest and, accordingly, we may invest in other real estate assets either directly or together with a co-investor or joint venture partner. We currently anticipate holding approximately 55% of our total assets in categories (i) and (ii), 30% of our total assets in category (iii), and 15% of our total assets in category (iv). Also, we may make adjustments to our target portfolio based on real estate market conditions and investment opportunities. We will not forego a good investment because it does not precisely fit our expected portfolio composition. Thus, to the extent that our Advisor presents us with investment opportunities that allow us to meet the requirements to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code, and to maintain our exclusion from regulation as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, our portfolio composition may vary from what we have initially disclosed.
We commenced the public offering of our common stock on June 16, 2010 after having completed a private offering of our common stock on June 9, 2010, both of which have provided our initial capitalization. We describe these offerings further in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Results of Operations
We were formed on June 3, 2009. We commenced active real estate operations on September 7, 2010 when we raised the minimum offering amount in our initial public offering. As of December 31, 2012, we have acquired seven multifamily properties, eight non-performing promissory notes (six of which we have foreclosed on, and one of which negotiated a discounted payoff) and two performing promissory notes. Our management is not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, favorable, or unfavorable, other than national economic conditions affecting our targeted portfolio, the multifamily residential housing industry and real estate generally, which may reasonably be expected to have a material impact on either capital resources or the revenues or incomes to be derived from the operation of such assets or those that we expect to acquire.

Revenues: During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded income primarily from rents from our multifamily and student housing properties and, to a lesser extent, from interest from both performing promissory notes and interest-bearing bank accounts in which we deposited the proceeds from our offerings. The increase in rental income is due to the increased number of operating properties we owned from four to 13 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we also recorded total gains $4.1 million attributed to the foreclosure of four non-performing mortgages. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we recorded a gain of $250,000 from the payoff of a non-performing loan by the borrower.
Expenses. Our rental operating expenses increased for the year ended December 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in the number of operating properties we owned. Accordingly, we incurred increased management fees, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization expenses. The $670,000 increase in general and administrative expenses consisted of a decrease in our company level expenses of $400,000, which was more than offset by an increase in property level general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million. The decrease in company level expenses consisted primarily of a $200,000 decrease in payroll expense allocated to us by our Advisor, a decrease in professional fees of $100,000 and a decrease in travel costs of $100,000. General and administrative expenses increased at the property level from $800,000 in 2011 to $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to the operation of nine additional properties we acquired directly or through foreclosure subsequent to December 31, 2011. General and administrative expenses for these nine new properties was $1.9 million for 2012. Acquisition costs for the year ended December 31, 2012, related to the acquisition of six properties and one loan for a total of $3.7 million as compared to the acquisition of four loans (all subsequently foreclosed on) and a $3.0 million loan portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2011. The $536,000 increase in interest expense is due to the draw downs on our line of credit and our entry into a mortgage loan in 2012. The asset carrying value for one property was determined to exceed its estimated fair value and, therefore, we recorded a $400,000 loss on impairment during 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We derive the capital required to purchase real estate investments and conduct our operations from the proceeds of our private and public offerings, any future offerings we may conduct, and from secured or unsecured financings from banks.
We intend to allocate a portion of the funds we raise, as necessary, to preserve capital for our investors by supporting the maintenance and viability of the properties we have acquired and those properties that we may acquire in the future. If these allocated amounts and any other available income become insufficient to cover our operating expenses and liabilities, it may be necessary to obtain additional funds by borrowing, refinancing properties or liquidating our investment in one or more properties, debt investments or other assets we may hold. We cannot assure you that we will be able to access additional funds upon acceptable terms when we need them.
Capital Expenditures. We deployed a total of $16.0 million in capital during the year ended December 31, 2012 for capital expenditures as follows: (a) $8.0 million at the Redford to complete apartment rehabs, enhance landscaping, repair pavements and foundations, install upgraded HVAC systems, install new security gates, and a new security system, and convert pools to salt water; $1.5 million is budgeted to complete the renovations; (b) $4.0 million at the Williamsburg Apartments for new carports, playgrounds, unit rehabs, renovated garages, roof repairs and pool conversions; $1.5 million is still budgeted to complete the renovations; (c) $2.0 million at The Vista Apartment Homes for deferred maintenance, rehab of units, renovations to the exterior of the buildings and to update the common areas; $1.5 million is still budgeted to be deployed at the Vista Apartment Homes to complete this project; and (d) the majority of the remaining amounts deployed for capital expenditures relate to turnover at our existing older properties, specifically Aracadia, Town Park, and Heatherwood. An additional $8.0 million in capital expenditures is budgeted to be deployed at the four properties we acquired in December over the next two years.
Ongoing Public Offering. Pursuant to our ongoing public offering, we are offering up to 75.0 million shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at $10.00 per share. We are also offering up to 7.5 million shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan under which our stockholders may elect to have distributions reinvested in additional shares at $9.50 per share. As of December 31, 2012, a net total of 20,882,562 shares of common stock had been issued in connection with our public offering, plus 110,740 shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, resulting in total gross proceeds of approximately $208.9 million. We have certain fixed operating expenses, including certain expenses as a publicly offered REIT, regardless of whether we are able to raise substantial funds in our offering. If we are unable to raise substantial funds, this could increase our fixed operating expenses as a percentage of gross income, potentially reducing our net income and limiting our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
On March 22, 2013, our Board of Directors approved the filing of a registration statement to register a follow-on offering. Accordingly, the current offering, which is set to terminate June 16, 2013 may be extended for up to 180 days if we file the registration statement before June 16, 2013. However, we can make no assurances that we will file such a registration statement.
Revolving Credit Facility. On December 2, 2011, through our operating partnership, we entered into a secured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with Bank of America, N.A., or Bank of America,. Under the Credit Facility, we may borrow up to $25.0 million, or the Facility Amount. The interest rate on borrowings is London InterBank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, (0.208% at December 31, 2012) plus 3.0%. Draws under the Credit Facility are secured by certain multifamily properties directly owned by our subsidiaries. The proceeds of the Credit Facility may be used for working capital, property improvements and other general corporate purposes. We incurred certain closing costs in connection with the Credit Facility, including a loan fee equal to 0.375% of the Facility Amount. As of December 31, 2012, we had outstanding borrowings of $760,000 under the Credit Facility.
We are required to make monthly interest-only payments on outstanding borrowings. We also may prepay the Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The Credit Facility matures on December 2, 2014, which date may be extended to December 2, 2015 subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the amount committed.
Our operating partnership’s obligations with respect to the Credit Facility are guaranteed by us, pursuant to the terms of a guaranty dated as of December 2, 2011, or the Guaranty. The Credit Facility and the Guaranty contain restrictive covenants for maintaining a certain tangible net worth and a certain level of liquid assets, and for restricting the securing of additional debt as follows:
| |
• | we must maintain a minimum tangible net worth equal to at least (i) 200% of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility and (ii) $20.0 million; |
| |
• | we must also maintain unencumbered liquid assets with a market value of not less than the greater of (i) $5.0 million or (ii) 20% of the outstanding principal amount of the Credit Facility; and |
| |
• | we may not incur any additional secured or unsecured debt without Bank of America’s prior written consent and approval, which consent and approval is not to be unreasonably withheld. |
We are currently in compliance with all such covenants. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants for the duration of the term of the Credit Facility, depending upon our future operating performance, capital raising success, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be in compliance.
Mortgage Debt. On April 3, 2012, we entered into a mortgage loan, or the Iroquois Mortgage Loan, with Berkadia Commercial Mortgage, LLC for $9.2 million. The Iroquois Mortgage Loan matures on May 1, 2017 and bears interest at one-month LIBOR plus 2.61%.
The Iroquois Mortgage Loan requires monthly payments of principal and interest. The amount outstanding may be prepaid in full after the first year of its term with payment of a prepayment premium in the amount of 1% of the principal being repaid, and with no prepayment premium during the last three months of its term. The Iroquois Mortgage Loan is secured by a first mortgage line on the assets of the Vista Apartment Homes (formerly Iroquois Apartments), including the land, fixtures, improvements, leases, rents and reserves.
The Iroquois Mortgage Loan contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, representations, warranties and borrowing conditions, all as set forth in the Iroquois Mortgage Loan. We are currently in compliance with all such covenants.
Once we have fully invested the proceeds of our public offering, based on current lending market conditions, we expect that the debt financing we incur, on a total portfolio basis, will not exceed 35% of the cost of our real estate investments if unstabilized and 65% to 70% if stabilized (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) plus the value of our other assets. We may also increase the amount of debt financing we use with respect to an investment over the amount originally incurred if the value of the investment increases subsequent to our acquisition and if credit market conditions permit us to do so. Our charter limits us from incurring debt such that our total liabilities may not exceed 75% of the cost (before deducting depreciation or other non-cash reserves) of our tangible assets, although we may exceed this limit under certain circumstances. We expect that our primary liquidity source for acquisitions and long-term funding will include the net proceeds from our offerings and, to the extent we co-invest with other entities, capital from any future joint venture partners. We may also pursue a number of potential other funding sources, including mortgage loans, portfolio level credit lines and government financing.
Operating Properties. As of December 31, 2012, we owned a multifamily property located in Omaha, Nebraska, four multifamily properties located in Houston, Texas (Arcadia at Westheimer, The Redford, Skyview at Palm Center and Flagstone Gardens), a multifamily property located in Birmingham, Alabama (Town Park), a multifamily property located in Dayton, Ohio (Cannery Lofts), a multifamily property located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Vista Apartment Homes), a multifamily property located in Inkster, Michigan (Heatherwood Apartments), a student housing property located in Tampa, Florida (Campus Club), a multifamily property located in Cincinnati, Ohio (Williamsburg Apartments), a multifamily property located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (Foxwood Apartments), and a nonperforming note secured by a multifamily property located in Duluth, Minnesota. We have also acquired a portfolio of small bank loans of which we still own two remaining performing notes that are secured by multifamily properties located in Michigan and Indiana.
Organization and Offering Costs. Our Advisor has advanced funds to us for certain organization and offering costs. We reimburse the Advisor for all of the expenses paid or incurred by our Advisor or its affiliates on behalf of us or in connection with the services provided to us in relation to our ongoing public offering. This includes all organization and offering costs of up to 2.5% of gross offering proceeds, but only to the extent that such reimbursement will not cause organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee) to exceed 2.5% of gross offering proceeds as of the date of such reimbursement. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, a total of $0 and $1.9 million, respectively, of these advances from our Advisor for organization and offering costs were unpaid and due to our Advisor. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we directly paid for organization and offering costs totaling $3.7 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
In addition to making investments in accordance with our investment objectives, we expect to use our capital resources to make payments to our Advisor and the dealer manager of our public offering, which is an affiliate of our Advisor. During our offering stage, these payments include selling commissions and the dealer manager fee as well as payments to the dealer manager and our Advisor for reimbursement of organization and offering expenses. However, our Advisor has agreed to reimburse us to the extent that selling commissions, the dealer manager fee and other organization and offering expenses incurred by us exceed 15% of our gross offering proceeds. During our acquisition and development stage, we expect to make payments to our Advisor in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments. In addition, we expect to continue to make payments to our Advisor for the management of our assets and costs incurred by our Advisor in providing services to us. We describe these payments in more detail in Note 11 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements.
Under our charter, we are required to limit our total operating expenses to the greater of 2% of our average invested assets or 25% of our net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, as these terms are defined in our charter, unless the conflicts committee of our board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expense reimbursements for the four fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2012 exceeded the charter imposed limitation; however, the conflicts committee of our board of directors determined that the relationship of our operating expenses to our average invested assets was justified for these periods given the costs of operating a public company during the early stage of our operations.

Our Board of Directors declared two cash dividends of $0.15 and $0.075 per share of common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Because we intend to fund cash distributions from cash flow and strategic financings, at this time we cannot guaranty that our board of directors will declare distributions on a set monthly or quarterly basis. Rather, the board of directors will declare distributions from time to time based on cash flow from our investments and our investment and financing activities. As such, we can also give no assurances as to the timing, amount or notice with respect to any other future distribution declarations.
Our Board of Directors also declared seven stock distributions (four in 2011 and three in 2012), each for 0.015 shares, or 1.5%, for each outstanding share of common stock. In addition, our Board declared one stock distribution of 0.0075 shares, or 0.75%, for each outstanding share of common stock on December 31, 2012 that was distributed on January 15, 2013.
For the year ended December 31, 2012, we paid aggregate cash distributions of $1.9 million, including $841,000 of distributions paid in cash and $1.1 million of distributions reinvested through our distribution reinvestment plan. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $10.3 million and net cash used in operating activities was $3.5 million. Our cumulative cash distributions and net loss from inception through December 31, 2012 were $1.9 million and $19.7 million, respectively. We have funded our cumulative distributions, which includes net cash distributions and distributions reinvested by stockholders, with proceeds from debt financing. To the extent that we pay distributions from sources other than our cash flow from operating activities or gains from asset sales, we will have fewer funds available for investment in commercial real estate and real estate-related debt, the overall return to our stockholders may be reduced and subsequent investors may experience dilution.
Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
Funds from operations, or FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. We use FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts to be net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains (or losses) from sales of property (including deemed sales and settlements of pre-existing relationships), plus depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after related adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and subsidiaries and noncontrolling interests. We believe that FFO is helpful to our investors and our management as a measure of operating performance because it excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and extraordinary items, and as a result, when compared year to year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which are not immediately apparent from net income. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate and intangibles diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. As a result, our management believes that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, is helpful for our investors in understanding our performance. Factors that impact FFO include start-up costs, fixed costs, delay in buying assets, lower yields on cash held in accounts, income from portfolio properties and other portfolio assets, interest rates on acquisition financing and operating expenses. In addition, FFO will be affected by the types of investments in our targeted portfolio which will consist of, but are not limited to, commercial real estate assets, principally (i) non-performing or distressed loans, including but not limited to first- and second-priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, B-Notes and other loans, (ii) real estate that was foreclosed upon and sold by financial institutions, (iii) multifamily rental properties to which we can add value with a capital infusion (referred to as “value add properties”), and (iv) discounted investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities.
Since FFO was promulgated, GAAP has adopted several new accounting pronouncements, such that management and many investors and analysts have considered the presentation of FFO alone to be insufficient. Accordingly, in addition to FFO, we use modified funds from operations or MFFO, as defined by the Investment Program Association, or IPA. MFFO excludes from FFO the following items:
| |
(1) | acquisition fees and expenses; |
| |
(2) | straight-line rent amounts, both income and expense; |
| |
(3) | amortization of above- or below-market intangible lease assets and liabilities; |
| |
(4) | amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments; |
| |
(6) | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; |
| |
(7) | gains or losses on the extinguishment or sales of hedges, foreign exchange, securities and other derivatives holdings except where the trading of such instruments is a fundamental attribute of our operations; |
| |
(8) | gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting, including interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives; |
| |
(9) | gains or losses related to consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting; |
| |
(10) | gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments; and |
| |
(11) | adjustments related to the above items for unconsolidated entities in the application of equity accounting. |
We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management assess the sustainability of operating performance in future periods and, in particular, after our offering and acquisition stages are complete, primarily because it excludes acquisition expenses that affect property operations only in the period in which the property is acquired. Although MFFO includes other adjustments, the exclusion of acquisition expenses is the most significant adjustment to us at the present time, as we are currently in our offering and acquisition stages. Thus, MFFO provides helpful information relevant to evaluating our operating performance in periods in which there is no acquisition activity.
As explained below, management’s evaluation of our operating performance excludes the items considered in the calculation based on the following economic considerations. Many of the adjustments in arriving at MFFO are not applicable to us. Nevertheless, we explain below the reasons for each of the adjustments made in arriving at our MFFO definition:
| |
• | Acquisition expenses. In evaluating investments in real estate, including both business combinations and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, management’s investment models and analysis differentiate costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Prior to 2009, acquisition costs for both of these types of investments were capitalized under GAAP; however, beginning in 2009, acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed. Both of these acquisition costs have been and will continue to be funded from the proceeds of our offering and not from operations. We believe by excluding expensed acquisition costs, MFFO provides useful supplemental information that is comparable for each type of real estate investment and is consistent with management’s analysis of the investing and operating performance of our properties. Acquisition expenses include those paid to our Advisor or third parties. |
| |
• | Adjustments for straight-line rents and amortization of discounts and premiums on debt investments. In the proper application of GAAP, rental receipts and discounts and premiums on debt investments are allocated to periods using various systematic methodologies. This application will result in income recognition that could be significantly different than underlying contract terms. By adjusting for these items, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the realized economic impact of lease terms and debt investments and aligns results with management’s analysis of operating performance. |
| |
• | Adjustments for amortization of above or below market intangible lease assets. Similar to depreciation and amortization of other real estate related assets that are excluded from FFO, GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of intangibles diminishes predictably over time and that these charges be recognized currently in revenue. Since real estate values and market lease rates in the aggregate have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes that by excluding these charges, MFFO provides useful supplemental information on the performance of the real estate. |
| |
• | Impairment charges, gains or losses related to fair-value adjustments for derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and gains or losses related to contingent purchase price adjustments. Each of these items relates to a fair value adjustment, which is based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions and specific performance of the holding which may not be directly attributable to current operating performance. As these gains or losses relate to underlying long-term assets and liabilities, management believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information by focusing on the changes in our core operating fundamentals rather than changes that may reflect anticipated gains or losses. In particular, because GAAP impairment charges are not allowed to be reversed if the underlying fair values improve or because the timing of impairment charges may lag the onset of certain operating consequences, we believe MFFO provides useful supplemental information related to current consequences, benefits and sustainability related to rental rate, occupancy and other core operating fundamentals. |
| |
• | Adjustment for gains or losses related to early extinguishment of hedges, debt, consolidation or deconsolidation and contingent purchase price. Similar to extraordinary items excluded from FFO, these adjustments are not related to continuing operations. By excluding these items, management believes that MFFO provides supplemental information related to sustainable operations that will be more comparable between other reporting periods and to other real estate operators. |
By providing MFFO, we believe we are presenting useful information that also assists investors and analysts in the assessment of the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed. We also believe that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the real estate industry. MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities or as affected by other MFFO adjustments. However, investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of our operating performance after our offering and acquisition stages are completed, as it excludes acquisition costs that have a negative effect on our operating performance and the reported book value of our common stock and stockholders’ equity during the periods in which properties are acquired.
FFO or MFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), nor as an indication of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. In particular, as we are currently in the acquisition phase of our life cycle, acquisition costs and other adjustments that are increases to MFFO are, and may continue to be, a significant use of cash. Accordingly, both FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements. Our FFO and MFFO as presented may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.
The following section presents our calculation of FFO and MFFO and provides additional information related to our operations (in thousands, except per share amounts). As a result of the timing of the commencement of our public offering and our active real estate operations, FFO and MFFO are not relevant to a discussion comparing operations for the two periods presented. We expect revenues and expenses to increase in future periods as we raise additional offering proceeds and use them to acquire additional investments.

Critical Accounting Policies
We consider these policies critical because they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, they require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, and they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Real Estate Assets
Depreciation. We make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. These assessments have a direct impact on our net income, because, if we were to shorten the expected useful lives of our investments in real estate, we would depreciate these investments over fewer years, resulting in more depreciation expense and lower net income on an annual basis throughout the expected useful lives of these investments. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class are as follows:
|
| |
Buildings | 27.5 years |
Building improvements | 3-27.5 years |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Real Estate Purchase Price Allocation. We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, which we expect will range from one month to ten years.
We measure the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if vacant. Management's estimates of value are expected to be made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors to be considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
We consider information obtained about each property as a result of our preacquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods. Management estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired will be further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship intangible values based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant's lease and our overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of our existing business relationships with a tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant's credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
We amortize the value of in-place leases to expense over the initial term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles will be amortized to expense over the initial term and, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles would be charged to expense in that period.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets will require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocation, which would impact the amount of our net income.
Valuation of Real Estate Assets
We continually monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable, we will assess the recoverability of the assets by estimating whether we will recover the carrying value of the asset through its undiscounted future cash flows and its eventual disposition. If based on this analysis we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of the asset, we will record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset.
Projections of future cash flows require us to estimate the expected future operating income and expenses related to an asset as well as market and other trends. The use of inappropriate assumptions in our future cash flows analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of our assets' future cash flows and fair values and could result in the overstatement of the carrying values of our real estate assets and an overstatement of our net income.
Loans Held for Investment, Net
Real estate loans held for investment are recorded at cost and reviewed for potential impairment at each balance sheet date. A loan held for investment is considered impaired when it becomes probable, based on current information, that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan's contractual terms. The amount of impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan to the present value of the expected cash flows or the fair value of the collateral. If a loan was deemed to be impaired, we would record a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall. Failure to recognize impairment would result in the overstatement of the carrying values of our real estate loans receivable and an overstatement of our net income.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and we will include amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents. We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
We make estimates of the collectability of our tenant receivables in relation to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.
The specific timing of a sale will be measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement associated with the property. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, we will defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.
Interest income from performing loans receivable are recognized based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fees related to any buy-down of the interest rate will be deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. Closing costs related to the purchase of a performing loan held for investment will be amortized using effective yield method over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment against interest income.
Adoption of New Accounting Standard
Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued an amendment to revise the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations.
Subsequent Events
From January 1 to March 27, 2013, we raised approximately $51.7 million in offering proceeds through the issuance of approximately 5.2 million shares of common stock under our initial public offering. As of March 27, 2013, approximately 48.7 million shares remained available for sale to the public under our initial public offering, exclusive of shares available under our distribution reinvestment plan.
On January 22, 2013, the borrower's redemption period relating to the Deerfield Note terminated and we took possession of the property securing the Deerfield Note.
On March 28, 2013, we purchased the Armand Place Apartments, a 244 unit, multifamily residential apartment community located in Houston, Texas, for $11.8 million.
On March 13, 2013, we purchased the Kenwick Place and Canterbury Apartments, a 244 unit, multifamily residential apartment community located in Lexington, Kentucky, for $6.9 million.
On March 7, 2013, we entered into an agreement to sell Town Park Apartments for $10.25 million. We can make no assurances that we will ultimately sell this property.
We have evaluated subsequent events and determined that no events have occurred, other than those disclosed above, which would require an adjustment to the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Under the supervision of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO, in Internal Control - Integrated Framework. Based upon this assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(b). These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

RESOURCE REAL ESTATE OPPORTUNITY REIT, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2012
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Resource Real Estate Opportunity REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in Maryland on June 3, 2009 to purchase a diversified portfolio of discounted U.S. commercial real estate and real estate-related assets in order to generate gains to stockholders from the potential appreciation in the value of the assets and to generate current income for stockholders by distributing cash flow from the Company’s investments. Resource Real Estate Opportunity Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Resource America, Inc. (“RAI”), a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: REXI) operating in the real estate, financial fund management and commercial finance sectors, has been engaged to manage the day-to-day operations of the Company. The Advisor has agreed to invest 1% of the first $250.0 million invested in the Company by non-affiliated investors, or up to $2.5 million.
On September 15, 2009, the Company commenced a private placement offering to accredited investors for the sale of up to 5.0 million shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of purchasers. The private offering which closed on June 9, 2010, raised aggregate gross proceeds of $12.8 million, or $11.3 million, net of $1.5 million in syndication costs, from the issuance of 1,283,727 common shares, including 20,000 shares purchased by the Advisor. In conjunction with the private offering, the Company also offered 5,000 shares of convertible stock at a price of $1 per share. Investors acquired 937 shares of the convertible stock and the Advisor purchased 4,063 shares. The Advisor contributed $200,000 to the Company in exchange for 20,000 shares of common stock on June 17, 2009, of which 4,500 shares were exchanged for 45,000 shares of convertible stock in June 2010. The Advisor purchased an additional 35,000 shares of common stock in 2011 for $315,000 and 141,500 shares during the year ended December 31, 2012 for approximately $1.3 million.
On June 16, 2010, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-160463), registering a primary public offering of up to 75.0 million shares of common stock and a public offering pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan of up to an additional 7.5 million shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Company commenced its public offering. The Company is offering shares of common stock in its ongoing primary offering for $10 per share, with discounts available to certain categories of investors. The Company is also offering shares pursuant to its distribution reinvestment plan at a purchase price equal to $9.50 per share. As of December 31, 2012, the Company has raised aggregate gross offering proceeds of $208.9 million, which resulted in the issuance of 20,993,303 shares of common stock, including the 176,500 shares purchased by the Advisor.
Subsequently, from January 1 to March 27, 2013, the Company raised $51.7 million in offering proceeds through the issuance of 5.2 million shares of common stock. As of March 27, 2013, 48.7 million shares remained available for sale to the public under the initial public offering, exclusive of shares available under the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan.
The Company has acquired, and intends to continue to acquire, real estate-related debt and equity that has been significantly discounted due to the effects of recent economic events and high levels of leverage, as well as stabilized properties that may benefit from extensive renovations that may increase their long-term values. The Company has a particular focus on acquiring and operating multifamily assets, and it intends to target this asset class while also acquiring interests in other types of commercial property assets consistent with its investment objectives. The Company’s targeted portfolio consists of commercial real estate assets, principally (i) non-performing or distressed loans, including but not limited to first and second priority mortgage loans, mezzanine loans, subordinate participations in first mortgage loans, or B-Notes, and other loans, (ii) real estate that was foreclosed upon and sold by financial institutions, (iii) multifamily rental properties to which the Company can add value with a capital infusion (“value add properties”), and (iv) discounted investment-grade commercial mortgage-backed securities. However, the Company is not limited in the types of real estate assets in which it may invest and, accordingly, it may invest in other real estate-related assets either directly or together with a co-investor or joint venture partner.
The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for its taxable year ended December 31, 2012. The Company also operates its business in a manner that should permit it to maintain its exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

N/A - not applicable
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recent Accounting Standard
The adoption of the following standard issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, FASB issued an amendment to revise the wording used to describe the requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. For many of the requirements, FASB does not intend for the amendments to result in a change in the application of the current requirements. Some of the amendments clarify FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, such as specifying that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. Other amendments change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements such as specifying that, in the absence of a Level 1 input, a reporting entity should apply premiums or discounts when market participants would do so when pricing the asset or liability. This guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and did not result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)
DECEMBER 31, 2012
Rental Properties
The Company records acquired rental properties at fair value. The Company considers the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life and depreciates using the straight line method. The Company anticipates the estimated useful lives of its assets by class as follows:
|
| |
Buildings | 27.5 years |
Building improvements | 3.0 to 27.5 years |
Tenant improvements | Shorter of lease term or expected useful life |
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
When circumstances indicate the carrying value of a property may not be recoverable, the Company reviews the asset for permanent impairment. This review is based on an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest charges, expected to result from the property’s use and eventual disposition. The review also considers factors such as expected future operating income, market and other applicable trends and residual value, as well as the effects of leasing demand, competition and other factors.
An impairment loss will be recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the property for properties to be held and used. For properties held for sale, the impairment loss would be the adjustment to fair value less the estimated cost to dispose of the asset. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a $400,000 impairment charge for one of our properties.
Loans Held for Investment, Net
The Company records acquired performing loans held for investment at cost and reviews them for potential impairment at each balance sheet date. The Company considers a loan to be impaired if one of two conditions exists. The first condition is if, based on current information and events, management believes it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The second condition is if the loan is deemed to be a troubled-debt restructuring (“TDR”) where a concession has been given to a borrower in financial difficulty. These TDRs may not have an associated specific loan loss allowance if the principal and interest amount is considered recoverable based on current market conditions, expected collateral performance and/or guarantees made by the borrowers.
The amount of impairment, if any, is measured by comparing the recorded amount of the loan to the present value of the expected cash flows or, as a practical expedient, the fair value of the collateral. If a loan is deemed to be impaired, the Company records a reserve for loan losses through a charge to income for any shortfall.
Interest income from performing loans held for investment is recognized based on the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fees related to any buy down of the interest rate are deferred as prepaid interest income and amortized over the term of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. The initial investment made in a purchased performing loan includes the amount paid to the seller plus fees. The initial investment frequently differs from the related loan’s principal amount at the date of the purchase. The difference is recognized as an adjustment of the yield over the life of the loan. Closing costs related to the purchase of a performing loan held for investment are amortized over the term of the loan and accreted as an adjustment to interest income.
The Company may acquire real estate loans at a discount due to the credit quality of such loans and the respective borrowers under such loans. Revenues from these loans are recorded under the effective interest method. Under this method, an effective interest rate (“EIR”) is applied to the cost basis of the real estate loan held for investment. The EIR that is calculated when the loan held for investment is acquired remains constant and is the basis for subsequent impairment testing and income recognition. However, if the amount and timing of future cash collections are not reasonably estimable, the Company accounts for the real estate receivable on the cost recovery method. Under the cost recovery method of accounting, no income is recognized until the basis of the loan held for investment has been fully recovered.

DECEMBER 31, 2012
Allocation of the Purchase Price of Acquired and Foreclosed Assets
The cost of rental properties acquired as a fee interest and rental properties which are acquired through foreclosing on a loan are allocated to net tangible and intangible assets based on relative fair values. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including information obtained about each property as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.
In allocating purchase price, management also includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions and legal and other related expenses to the extent that such costs have not already been incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction.
The Company records above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. The Company amortizes any capitalized above-market or below-market lease values as an increase or reduction to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases.
The Company measures the aggregate value of other intangible assets acquired based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued as if it were vacant. Management’s estimates of value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis). Factors to be considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.
The total amount of other intangible assets acquired is further allocated to customer relationship intangible values based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics to be considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the Company’s existing relationships with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals (including those existing under the terms of the lease agreement), among other factors.
The Company amortizes the value of in-place leases to expense over the average remaining term of the respective leases. The value of customer relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the initial term and any renewal periods in the respective leases, but in no event will the amortization periods for the intangible assets exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the in-place lease value and customer relationship intangibles associated with that tenant would be charged to expense in that period.
The determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to current market rental rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of the purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of the Company’s reported net income. Initial purchase price allocations are subject to change until all information is finalized, which is generally within one year of the acquisition date.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and includes amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents. The Company records property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.
The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement associated with the property. If the criteria for gain recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, the Company defers gain recognition and accounts for the continued operations of the property by applying the percentage-of-completion, reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.

DECEMBER 31, 2012
The future minimum rental payments to be received from noncancelable operating leases are $12.3 million and $96,000 for the years ending December 31, 2013 and 2014, respectively, and none thereafter.
Tenant Receivables
Tenant receivables are stated in the financial statements at amounts due from tenants net of an allowance for uncollectible receivables. Payment terms vary and receivables outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, security deposits held, the Company’s previous loss history, the tenants’ current ability to pay their obligations to the Company, the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off receivables when they become uncollectible. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were allowances for uncollectible receivables of $29,000 and $4,000, respectively.
Deferred Offering Costs
Through December 31, 2012, the Advisor has advanced $5.9 million on behalf of the Company for the payment of public offering costs consisting of accounting, advertising, allocated payroll, due diligence, marketing, legal and similar costs. A portion of these costs is charged to equity upon the sale of each share of common stock sold under the public offering. Similarly, a portion of the proceeds received from the sales of shares in the Company's public offering is paid to the Advisor to reimburse it for the amount incurred on behalf of the Company. Deferred offering costs represent the portion of the total costs incurred that have not been charged to equity to date and are the major component of Due to Related Parties as reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, $5.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively, have been reimbursed to the Advisor. Upon completion of the public offering, any deferred offering costs in excess of reimbursements will be charged back to the Advisor.
Income Taxes
To maintain its REIT qualification for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable net income (excluding net capital gains) to its stockholders as well as comply with other requirements, including certain asset, income and stock ownership tests. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate U.S. federal income taxes to the extent that it annually distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT, and does not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, it is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes and may be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent four taxable years following the year in which it fails its REIT qualification. Accordingly, the Company’s failure to qualify as a REIT could have a material adverse impact on its results of operations and amounts available for distribution to its stockholders.
The dividends-paid deduction of a REIT for qualifying dividends to its stockholders is computed using the Company’s taxable income as opposed to net income reported on the financial statements. Generally, taxable income differs from net income reported on the financial statements because the determination of taxable income is based on tax provisions and not financial accounting principles.
The Company may elect to treat certain of its subsidiaries as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). In general, the Company’s TRSs may hold assets and engage in activities that the Company cannot hold or engage in directly and generally may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local corporate income taxes. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had no TRSs.
The Company evaluates the benefits of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. Only the largest amount of benefits from tax positions that will more likely than not be sustainable upon examination are recognized by the Company. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits, nor interest and penalties, recorded in its consolidated financial statements and does not anticipate significant adjustments to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company is subject to examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and by the taxing authorities in other states in which the Company has significant business operations. The Company is not currently undergoing any examinations by taxing authorities.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share take into account the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised and converted to common stock. Due to reported losses for the periods presented, the convertible shares (discussed in Note 12) are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculations. For the purposes of calculating earnings per share all common shares and per common share information in the financial statements have been adjusted retroactively for the effect of seven separate 1.5% stock distributions issued to stockholders of record and one 0.75% stock distribution to stockholders of record on December 31, 2012.

One of the Company’s two performing promissory notes matured on December 31, 2011 and the balance of $238,000 was not paid in full and is currently in default. The Company and the borrower under this note entered into a forbearance agreement in January 2012. This forbearance agreement is considered a troubled debt restructuring. The borrower has continued to pay the debt service payments as required by the forbearance agreement.
The Company has individually evaluated each loan for impairment and determined that there were no impairments as of December 31, 2012, with the exception of the troubled debt restructuring which is impaired. Based on the evaluation performed on the troubled debt restructuring, although the loan is impaired, the Company did not record an impairment charge because the borrower is continuing to make payments and the collateral value exceeds the balance of the loan held for investment. There was no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2012 or charge-offs for the year then ended.

NOTE 12 – EQUITY
Preferred Stock
The Company’s charter authorizes the Company to issue 10.0 million shares of its $0.01 par value preferred stock. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.
Common Stock
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had issued an aggregate of 1,283,727 shares of its $0.01 par value common stock in connection with its private offering, and 21,008,880 shares of its common stock (including stock dividends and shares issued under the distribution reinvestment plan - see below) in connection with its currently ongoing public offering. On June 15, 2010, the Advisor exchanged 4,500 common shares for 45,000 shares of the Company’s convertible stock. Additionally, 11,077 shares of common stock were redeemed by stockholders for $110,736 during 2012, pursuant to the Company's share redemption program.

The Company will not redeem in excess of 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the 12-month period immediately prior to the effective date of redemption. The Company's board of directors will determine at least quarterly whether it has sufficient excess cash to repurchase shares. Generally, the cash available for redemptions will be limited to proceeds from the Company's distribution reinvestment plan plus, if the Company has positive operating cash flow from the previous fiscal year, 1% of all operating cash flow from the previous year.
The Company's board of directors, in its sole discretion, may suspend, terminate or amend the Company's share redemption program without stockholder approval upon 30 days' notice if it determines that such suspension, termination or amendment is in the Company's best interest. The Company's board may also reduce the number of shares purchased under the share redemption program if it determines the funds otherwise available to fund the Company's share redemption program are needed for other purposes. These limitations apply to all redemptions, including redemptions sought upon a stockholder's death, qualifying disability or confinement to a long-term care facility.
Distribution Reinvestment Plan
As of December 31, 2012, a total of 110,740 shares have been issued under the distribution reinvestment plan.
Distributions
On May 31, 2012, the Company paid a special cash distribution of $1.9 million ($0.15 per common share) to stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2012, which was funded from a portion (approximately 20%) of the proceeds from the Iroquois Mortgage Loan. Approximately $1.1 million of the distribution was reinvested in shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the distribution reinvestment plan.
On November 15, 2012, the Company's Board of Directors declared another special cash distribution of $1.7 million ($0.075 per common share) to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 31, 2012, which was paid on January 15, 2013, which was funded from certain cash flowing properties.

In connection with these stock distributions, the Company increased its accumulated deficit by $9.7 million as of December 31, 2012.
NOTE 13 – FAIR VALUE MEASURES AND DISCLOSURES
In analyzing the fair value of its investments accounted for on a fair value basis, the Company follows the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company determines fair value based on quoted prices when available or, if quoted prices are not available, through the use of alternative approaches, such as discounting the expected cash flows using market interest rates commensurate with the credit quality and duration of the investment. The fair value of cash, tenant receivables and accounts payable, approximate their carrying value due to the their short nature. The hierarchy followed defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity, but rather through particular valuation techniques.
The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter; depending on various factors, it is possible that an asset or liability may be classified differently from quarter to quarter. However, the Company expects that changes in classifications between levels will be rare.

Rental properties obtained through a foreclosed note are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair value of rental properties is usually estimated based on information obtained from a number of sources, including information obtained about each property as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. The Company allocates the purchase price of properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings, fixtures and improvements, and identified intangible lease assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, as applicable, the value of in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values.
The following table presents information about the Company’s rental properties measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands):

The fair value of the loans held for investment, net, was estimated by comparing the recorded amount of the loan to the fair value of the collateral.
The fair value of the mortgage note payable was estimated using rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
The fair value of the revolving credit facility equals the carrying amount because the credit facility interest rate is variable.
NOTE 14 – OPERATING EXPENSE LIMITATION WAIVER
Under its charter, the Company must limit its total operating expenses to the lesser of 2% of its average invested assets or 25% of its net income for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters, unless the conflicts committee of the Company’s board of directors has determined that such excess expenses were justified based on unusual and non-recurring factors. Operating expenses for the four quarters ended December 31, 2012 exceeded the charter imposed limitation; however, the conflicts committee of the board of directors determined that the excess was justified for these periods given the costs of operating a public company and the early stage of the Company’s operations.
NOTE 15 – GAIN ON INSURANCE CLAIM
On January 3, 2012, a fire damaged five units at the Town Park Apartments. The Company was insured for both the property damage and the loss of rental income. The Company reduced the net carrying value of the building and improvements by $98,000 and established a receivable for the expected insurance proceeds of $275,000, net of the $25,000 deductible. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company received insurance proceeds of $275,000. Additional non-capitalizable expenses incurred in conjunction with the claim totaled $1,000. Accordingly, these expenses and the excess of proceeds were recorded as insurance proceeds in excess of cost basis. An additional receivable of $13,000 for the loss of rental income was recorded to rental income, which was received in 2012.
NOTE 16 – GAIN ON FORECLOSURES
The Company recorded the following gains related to foreclosures that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2012:
| |
• | Crestwood Notes. On March 14, 2012, the Company received $346,000 from the guarantor of the Crestwood Notes in full satisfaction of certain guarantees entered into by an affiliate of the borrower with the original lender. |
| |
• | Heatherwood Note. On the day of foreclosure, the fair value of the property exceeded the Company’s carrying value of the Heatherwood Note by $248,000. Pursuant to a settlement agreement with the borrower dated May 25, 2012, the Company received $625,000 related to insurance proceeds from a loss at the Heatherwood Apartments prior to foreclosure. In May 2012, the Company also recorded adjustments to security deposits totaling $14,000. |
| |
• | Cannery Note. On February 19, 2013, an appraisal of the fair value of the property on the date of foreclosure was completed. The results revealed that, on the day of foreclosure, the Company’s fair value of the property exceeded the carrying value of the Cannery Note by $2.0 million. An additional payment of $306,000 was received by the Company in satisfaction of a settlement agreement with the borrower under the Cannery Note. The Company also recorded adjustments to security deposits totaling $99,000, which reduced the gain. |
| |
• | Campus Club Note. On January 10, 2013, an appraisal of the fair value of the Company on the date of foreclosure was completed. The results revealed that, on the day of foreclosure, the Company’s fair value of the property exceeded the carrying value of the Campus Club Note by $688,000. |
