(Unaudited)
1. | Organization |
Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. was formed as a Maryland corporation on September 18, 2009, and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company", "we", "us", or "our" refer to Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of its business strategy, the Company may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the construction of multifamily communities and other properties. As a secondary strategy, the Company also may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 10% of its total assets in other real estate related investments, as determined by its Manager (as defined below) as appropriate for the Company. The Company is externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party (see Note 6).
The Company completed its initial public offering, or IPO, on April 5, 2011. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had 11,037,879 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and owned the same number of units in the Operating Partnership, which represented a weighted-average ownership percentage of 98.31% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 106,988 at June 30, 2013 and represent Class B Unit awards to the Company's four executive officers that vested and became earned on January 3, 2013, and were automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership at that date. The Class A Units are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Company's choice of either cash or Common Stock. In the case of cash, the value is determined based upon the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and plans to conduct substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets
The Company generally records its initial investments in income-producing real estate at fair value at the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. The aggregate purchase price of acquired properties is apportioned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values. The value of acquired land, buildings and improvements is estimated by formal appraisals, observed comparable sales transactions, and information gathered during

pre-acquisition due diligence activities and the valuation approach considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The values of furniture, fixtures, and equipment are estimated by calculating their replacement cost and reducing that value by factors based upon estimates of their remaining useful lives. Intangible assets include the values of in-place leases and customer relationships. In-place lease values are estimated by calculating the estimated time to fill a hypothetically empty apartment complex to its stabilization level (estimated to be 92% occupancy) based on historical observed move-in rates for each property. Carrying costs during these hypothetical expected lease-up periods are estimated, considering current market conditions and include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates. The intangible assets are calculated by estimating the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. The acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. The values of customer relationships are estimated by calculating the product of the avoided hypothetical lost revenue and the average renewal probability and are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining historical period of residency, plus an estimate of the average expected renewal period. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases. Acquired intangible assets have no residual value.
The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as declines in a property’s operating performance, deteriorating market conditions, or environmental or legal concerns bring recoverability of the carrying value of one or more assets into question. The total undiscounted cash flows of the asset group, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the asset group. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value to the discounted net cash flows of the asset group.
Loans Held for Investment
The Company carries its investments in real estate loans at amortized cost with assessments made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. Recoveries of valuation allowances are only recognized in the event of maturity or a sale or disposition in an amount above carrying value. The balances of real estate loans presented on the consolidated balance sheets consist of drawn amounts on the loans, net of deferred loan fee revenue. See the ‘Revenue Recognition’ section of this note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted by state law or contractual requirement and relates primarily to tax and insurance escrows and resident security deposits.
Fair Value Measurements
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if they are deemed impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in accounting and reporting for real estate assets where appropriate, as well as debt instruments both held for investment and as liabilities. The standard requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:
•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the related indebtedness.
Deferred Offering Costs
Deferred offering costs represent costs incurred by the Company related to current equity offerings, excluding costs specifically identifiable to a closing, such as commissions, dealer-manager fees, and other registration fees. For issuances of equity that occur on one specific date, associated offering costs are reclassified as a reduction of proceeds raised on the date of issue. Our ongoing offering of units, consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Series A Preferred Stock, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase 20 shares of Common Stock, or Units, generally closes on a bimonthly basis in variable amounts. Such offering is referred to herein as the Primary Series A Offering, pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604), as may be amended from time to time. Deferred offering costs related to the Primary Series A Offering are reclassified to the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of proceeds raised on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of total Units issued to the maximum number of Units that are expected to be issued.
Non-controlling Interest
Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest of the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for contributions, distributions and earnings or loss attributable to the non-controlling interest in the consolidated entity in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended.
Redeemable Preferred Stock
Shares of the Series A Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Primary Series A Offering (further described in note 5) are redeemable at the option of the holder, subject to a declining redemption fee schedule. Redemptions are therefore outside the control of the Company. However, the Company retains the right to fund any redemptions of Series A Preferred Stock in either Common Stock or cash at its option. Therefore, the Company records the Series A Preferred Stock as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents, which is over the terms of rental agreements, typically of 13 months’ duration. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are generally deemed uncollectible 30 days beyond the due date, at which point they are fully reserved.
Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans using the effective interest method. In the event that a loan or note is refinanced with the proceeds of another loan issued by the Company, any unamortized loan fee revenue from the first loan will be recognized as interest revenue over the term of the new loan. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income. The accrual of interest on all these instruments is stopped when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Real estate loan assets are reclassified as accrual-basis once interest and principal payments become current. Certain real estate loan assets include limited purchase options and exit fees or additional interest payments that are due the Company at maturity or in the event of a sale of the property or refinancing of the loan by the borrower to a third party. If the Company purchases the subject property, any accrued exit fee will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
Promotional fees received from service providers at the Company’s properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

The PAC Rewards program, implemented in the first quarter of 2012, allows residents to accumulate reward points on a monthly basis for actions such as resident referrals and making rent payments online. A resident must rent an apartment from the Company for at least 14 months before reward points may be redeemed for services or upgrades to a resident’s unit. The Company accrues a liability for the estimated cost of these future point redemptions, net of a 35% breakage fee, which is the Company’s current estimate of rewards points that will not be redeemed. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 13.A.3c, the Company deems its obligations under PAC Rewards as inconsequential to the delivery of services according to the lease terms. Therefore, the expense related to the PAC Rewards Program is included in property operating and maintenance expense on the consolidated statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees and ASC 718, Stock Compensation. We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments at the date of grant based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. We will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s). We record the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant.
Acquisition Costs
The Company expenses property acquisition costs as incurred, which include costs such as due diligence, legal, certain accounting, environmental and consulting, when the acquisition constitutes a business combination. The Company capitalizes these costs for transactions deemed to be asset acquisitions.
Capitalization and Depreciation
The Company capitalizes replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as carpet, appliances, air conditioning units, certain common area items, and other assets. Significant repair and renovation costs that improve the usefulness or extend the useful life of the properties are also capitalized. These assets are then depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
•Buildings 30 - 40 years
•Furniture, fixtures & equipment 5 - 10 years
•Improvements to buildings and land 5 - 10 years
Operating expenses related to unit turnover costs, such as carpet cleaning, mini-blind replacements, and minor repairs are expensed as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. The Company intends to operate in such a manner as to maintain its election for treatment as a REIT.
The Company's provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial statement purposes after adjustment for transactions that do not have tax consequences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized according to the

estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the balance sheet. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. If a valuation allowance is needed, a subsequent change in circumstances in future periods that causes a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.
The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Net income or loss attributable to common stockholders is calculated by deducting dividends due to preferred stockholders, as well as nonforfeitable dividends due to holders of unvested restricted stock, which are participating securities under the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing earnings or net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding adjusted for the effect of dilutive securities such as share grants or warrants. No adjustment is made for potential Common Stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive during the period.
Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
3. Real Estate Assets
On June 25, 2013, the Company completed the acquisition of a 96-unit townhome-style multifamily community adjacent to our Trail Creek community in Hampton, Virginia, or Trail II, for approximately $18.2 million, less a capital improvements reserve of $250,000, a value believed to approximate the fair value of the assets. The construction of Trail II was partially financed by a $6.0 million mezzanine loan held by the Company, which was applied to the purchase at the closing of the property acquisition, along with an exit fee for accrued interest of $283,062.
The Company allocated the purchase price of Trail II to the acquired assets and liabilities based upon their fair values, as follows:

4. Real Estate Loans, Notes Receivable, and Line of Credit
Overton
On May 8, 2013, the Company made a mezzanine loan of up to $16,600,000 to Newport Overton Holdings, LLC, or Overton, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 294-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. At June 30, 2013, Overton had drawn $9,241,927 of the loan amount.
The Overton mezzanine loan matures on November 1, 2016 with options to extend to May 1, 2018, and pays current monthly interest of 8% per annum. The loan accrues an additional 6% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for the Company to realize the additional interest. The Company also has an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including July 8, 2016 and December 8, 2016 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $51,500,000. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Newport Overton, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by Robert F. Krause, Jr. and Richie Stephens, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $31.7 million that is held by an unrelated third party. Messrs. Krause and Stephens have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications and have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan through receipt of a certificate of occupancy of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Overton mezzanine loan, the Company received a total loan fee of 2% of the aggregate amount of the loan, or $332,000, and paid a cumulative acquisition fee of 1% of the aggregate amount of the mezzanine loan, or $166,000, to the Manager out of these funds (See note 6).
Crosstown Walk
On April 30, 2013, the Company amended the real estate acquisition bridge loan it made on June 29, 2012 by conversion to a mezzanine loan of up to $10,962,000 to Iris Crosstown Partners LLC, or Crosstown Walk, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 342-unit multifamily community located in suburban Tampa, Florida. In conjunction with this transaction, Crosstown Walk repaid the balance of the bridge loan previously made to Crosstown Walk, plus accrued interest, the total of which was $4,710,189, and at June 30, 2013, Crosstown Walk had drawn $7,275,859 of the loan amount.
The Crosstown Walk mezzanine loan pays current interest of 8% per annum and matures on November 1, 2016, with options to extend through May 1, 2018. The Company is accruing an additional 6% interest which will be due upon maturity and repayment of the loan or refinancing with a third party. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for the Company to realize the additional interest. In conjunction with the loan, the Company received an exclusive option to purchase the stabilized property between July 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016, for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $39,654,273. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Iris Crosstown Apartments LLC, a Florida limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Crosstown Walk, and the ultimate owner of the property, and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by W. Daniel Faulk, Jr., Richard A. Denny, and J. Michael Morris, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $25.9 million that is held by an unrelated third party. Messrs. Faulk, Denny and Morris have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications and have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan through receipt of a certificate of occupancy of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.
In connection with the closing of the Crosstown Walk mezzanine loan, the Company received a total loan fee of $124,807, which was equal to 2% of the aggregate amount of the mezzanine loan, or $219,240, less $94,433 in acquisition fees paid from the preceding bridge loan that was financed into the mezzanine loan, and paid an acquisition fee of 1% of the net amount received, or $109,620, less $47,216 in acquisition fees paid from the preceding bridge loan that was financed into the mezzanine loan, to the Manager out of these funds (See note 6).
Lely
On March 28, 2013, the Company made a mezzanine loan of up to $12,713,242 to Lely Apartments LLC, or Lely, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 308-unit multifamily community located in Naples, Florida. At June 30, 2013, Lely had drawn $6,364,561 of the loan amount.
The Lely mezzanine loan matures on February 28, 2016, with options to extend until February 28, 2018, and pays current monthly interest of 8% per annum. The loan accrues an additional 6% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for the Company to realize the additional interest. The Company also has an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including April 1, 2016 and August 30, 2016 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $43,500,000. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Aster Lely Apartments, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lely, and the ultimate owner of the property, and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by Clark Butler and Jeff D. Warshaw, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $25.0 million that is held by an unrelated third party.

At June 30, 2013, Summit II had drawn the entire loan amount.
The Summit II mezzanine loan matures on May 8, 2017, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8% per annum. The loan accrues an additional 6% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. The Company also has an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including October 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $30,945,845. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before or after the option period, we will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide us with a 14% simple interest return on the loan, in addition to loan fees received at closing, which totaled 2% of the loan amount. Since the minimum exit fee, assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 14% simple interest return, the Company is accruing each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 14% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for the Company to realize the additional interest. The accrued exit fee is recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.

Faulk and Denny have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan. The repayment guaranties expire at the completion of construction of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.

The Company extends loans for purposes such as to partially finance the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project at a fixed price within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the rights to incremental exit fees over and above the amount of periodic interest paid during the life of the loans, or both. These characteristics can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a variable interest entity, or VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project. The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.
The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. For each loan, the majority of the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.
The Company's real estate loans partially finance the development activities of the borrowers' associated legal entities. Each of these loans create variable interests in each of these entities, and according to the Company's analysis, are deemed to be VIEs. Due to the combined factors of the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk, the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, as well as the limitations on the fixed-price purchase options on the Summit II, City Park, City Vista, Overton, Crosstown Walk, and Lely loans, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the
17

(Unaudited)
borrowing entities. It has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except normal lender rights, which are subordinate to the senior loans on the projects. Therefore, since the Company has concluded it is not the primary beneficiary, it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of June 30, 2013 of approximately $54.7 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of June 30, 2013 was approximately $73.9 million.
The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Summit II, Crosstown Walk, City Park and City Vista real estate loans, as identified specifically by the two named principals of the borrowers, W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, and as evidenced by repayment guaranties offered in support of these loans. These loans total approximately $33.8 million and in the event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors, would subject the Company to a total possible loss of that amount. The Company generally requires secured interests in one or a combination of the membership interests of the borrowing entity or the entity holding the project, guaranties of loan repayment, and project completion performance guaranties as credit protection with regard to its real estate loans, as is customary in the mezzanine loan industry. The Company has performed assessments of the guaranties with regard to the obligors' ability to perform according to the terms of the guaranties if needed and has concluded that the guaranties reduce the Company's risk and exposure to the above-described credit risk in place as of June 30, 2013.
The borrowers and guarantors behind these real estate loans (excluding the Madison-Rome, Overton, and Lely loans) collectively qualify as a major customer as defined in ASC 280-10-50, as the revenue recorded from this customer exceeded ten percent of the Company's total revenues. The Company recorded revenue from transactions with this major customer for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 of approximately $1.3 million.
5. Redeemable Preferred Stock
On November 18, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604) for our Primary Series A Offering of up to a maximum of 150,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock, which is being offered and sold by IAA on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. Each share of Preferred Stock ranks senior to Common Stock and carries a cumulative annual 6% dividend of the stated per share value of $1,000, payable monthly as declared by the Company’s board of directors. Dividends begin accruing on the date of issuance. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning two years following the date of issue subject to a 10% redemption fee. After year three the redemption fee decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance.
On August 16, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-183355) for a follow-on offering of an additional 850,000 Units, or Follow-On Offering, which registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The terms of the Follow-On Offering and features of the Units in the Follow-On Offering are substantially the same as the Primary Series A Offering.
As of June 30, 2013, offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, totaled approximately $5.2 million. These costs are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing. In addition, the costs related to the offering not related to a specific closing transaction totaled approximately $4.2 million. As of June 30, 2013, the Company had issued 59,151 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $53.2 million from the Primary Series A Offering after commissions. A total of 30 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were subsequently redeemed. The number of Units issued was approximately 5.9% of the maximum number of Units to be issued under the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-On Offering. Consequently, the Company cumulatively recognized approximately 5.9% of the approximate $4.2 million deferred to date, or approximately $250 thousand as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The remaining balance of offering costs not yet reflected as a reduction of stockholder's equity, approximately $4.0 million, are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheet as deferred offering costs at June 30, 2013. The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs related to the Primary Series A Offering will likewise be recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of Units issued to the maximum number of Units available to be issued.

(Unaudited)
Offering costs not related to a specific closing transaction are subject to an overall cap of 1.5% of the total gross proceeds raised during the Unit offerings.
On January 17, 2013, the Company issued 40,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share through a private placement transaction. The net proceeds totaled approximately $37.6 million after commissions. On May 9, 2013, the common stockholders approved the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of such approval, the Series B Preferred Stock was converted into 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock on May 16, 2013, which brought the total shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding to 11,037,879 at June 30, 2013.
The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock created a beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") as a result of the conversion price being less than the market price of the Common Stock on January 16, 2013. The BCF of approximately $7.0 million was recorded when the Series B Preferred Stock became convertible in May 2013. As required by ASC 480, the BCF was recorded as a deemed distribution to the holders upon conversion, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, with no net effect on total stockholders' equity. The deemed distribution was also recorded as a deemed non-cash preferred dividend in the Company's earnings per share calculations, and due to the Company's deficit position of retained earnings, the deemed non-cash dividend was also recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
Because the Company did not control all possible circumstances under which it may have been required to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock for cash prior to the approval of the conversion, the proceeds from the transaction of $40.0 million, net of offering costs of approximately $3.0 million, were presented as mezzanine or temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2013. As of June 30, 2013 the net proceeds are presented as a component of permanent equity.

• | Construction, development, and landscaping fees - Customary and competitive market rates in light of the size, type and location of the asset |
• | Special limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership - distributions from the Operating Partnership equal to 15% of any net proceeds from the sale of an asset and prior operations that are remaining after the payment of (i) the capital and expenses allocable to all realized investments (including the sold asset), and (ii) a 7% priority annual return on such capital and expense; provided that all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid in full |
The Company did not incur any of these other potential fees during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 or 2012.

Restricted Stock Grants
On May 10, 2012, the Company granted a total of 33,046 shares of restricted Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The Company records the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. The fair value per share was deemed to be $7.83 per share by Board resolution. Compensation cost in the amount of $258,750 was recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the first anniversary of the grant date and all 33,046 shares vested on May 9, 2013.
On May 9, 2013, the Company granted a total of 29,016 shares of restricted Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The per-share fair value was $8.85 and total compensation cost in the amount of $256,792 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the earlier of first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. All 29,016 unvested shares were outstanding at June 30, 2013.
Directors’ Stock Grants
On February 2, 2012, the Company granted 2,988 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their quarterly meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $6.12, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of 18,287 was recorded in full at the grant date.
On February 7, 2013, the Company granted 2,115 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their quarterly meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $8.59, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,168 was recorded in full at the grant date.
Class B Units
On January 3, 2012, pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, the Company granted 106,988 Class B Units, representing ownership interests in the Operating Partnership, to certain of its executive officers as compensation for service in 2012. On January 3, 2013, the Company granted 142,046 Class B Units for service during 2013.
The Class B Units become Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which is one year from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested Class B Units become Earned

(Unaudited)
Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, which are henceforth entitled to distributions from the Operating Partnership and become exchangeable for Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holder. Vested Class B Units may become Earned Class B Units on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested Class B Units that do not become Earned Class B Units on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested Class B Units become Earned Class B Units or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service as an officer of the Company due to an event other than as a result of a qualified event, which is generally the death or disability of the holder. Continuous service through the final valuation date is required for the Vested Class B Units to qualify to become fully Earned Class B Units.
On August 15, 2012, the Company granted 6,128 Class B Units to its Vice Chairman of the Company's Board of Directors, as additional compensation for acting in an expanded capacity related to board oversight of the Company's capital raising efforts. The vesting conditions, conversion rights and other features are identical to the Class B Unit grants described above, and differ only by the amount of the market capitalization threshold.
Because of the market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the total fair values, which will be amortized as compensation expense over the one-year periods beginning on the grant dates through the Initial Valuation Dates. On December 30, 2012, the 2011 Class B Unit awards became fully vested and earned, and a total of 107,164 Class B Units automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership on that date. On December 31, 2012, all Class A Unit holders elected to convert their Class A Units into Common Stock. On January 3, 2013, the 106,988 outstanding Class B Units for 2012 became fully vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. All unvested 2013 Class B Units, as well as the unvested Class B Units issued on August 15, 2012 were outstanding at June 30, 2013.
The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the Class B Unit awards were:

Target market threshold increase | $ | 650,000 | $ | 50,000 | $ | 1,150,000 |
The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant dates and the projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.13 per share for the 2012 annual awards, $0.14 per share for the August 15, 2012 award, and $0.145 for the 2013 annual awards.
Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.
The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 years year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.
Since the likelihood of attainment of the market condition for each of the Class B Units to become earned is believed to be high and the vesting period is one year, the forfeiture rate assumption for these Class B Units was set to 0%.

Since the Class B Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.
Warrant
On March 31, 2011, as partial compensation for services rendered for the IPO, the Company issued to IAA a warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price is $12.50 per share, which is 125% of the gross IPO price of $10.00 per share. The warrant is exercisable, at IAA’s option, in whole or in part, by either payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares exercised, plus applicable transfer taxes, or by a cashless net share settlement. Upon exercise of the warrant, shares of Common Stock will be issued from authorized but unissued Common Stock. The warrant is currently exercisable and expires on March 31, 2015.
9. Indebtedness
Mortgage Notes Payable
The Company partially financed the acquisition of the McNeil Ranch, Lake Cameron, and Ashford Park multifamily communities (which were each refinanced on January 24, 2013), with non-recourse mortgage notes collateralized only by the associated real estate assets for each community with no cross-collateralization of any other properties. For each of these three properties, monthly interest only payments are due for the period of March 1, 2013 to February 1, 2018. Beginning on March 1, 2018, the loans will require monthly payments of accrued interest and principal based on a 30-year amortization period. All remaining indebtedness, including all interest and principal, is due by February 1, 2020.
In conjunction with the acquisition of Trail II, On June 25, 2013, the Company refinanced the original variable rate mortgage on the first phase of the Trail Creek community with a new 4.22% fixed rate mortgage secured by the combined Trail community in the amount of approximately $28.1 million, for which monthly interest only payments are due through the maturity date of July 1, 2020. In doing so, we recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment, which consisted of a three percent prepayment penalty to the lender of $458,250 paid from the proceeds of the refinancing, and the non-cash writeoff of unamortized deferred loan costs of $146,087.
The existing Stone Rise and Summit Crossing mortgages require monthly payments of interest only through May 1, 2014, beyond which point payments of principal and interest calculated on a 30-year amortization schedule are due through the dates of maturity. The variable monthly interest rate for the Stone Rise mortgage is capped at 7.25%. The embedded interest rate cap was deemed to be clearly and closely related to the debt host instrument. The following table shows certain details regarding our mortgage notes payable:

Credit Facility
On August 31, 2012, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into a credit agreement with Key Bank National Association, or Key Bank, to obtain a $15.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility. The permitted uses of the Credit Facility are to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a variable rate of the 1 month LIBOR index, or LIBOR, plus 500 basis points, as well as a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility of 0.50% per annum. On April 4, 2013, the Company expanded its total aggregate borrowing limit on its Credit Facility from $15.0 million to $30.0 million, extended the maturity date to April 4, 2014, and reduced the spread over LIBOR from 500 basis points to 450 basis points. The Company paid fees and expenses totaling approximately $200,000 to effect these changes. Accrued interest and commitment fees are payable monthly and principal amounts owed may be repaid in whole or in part without penalty.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are collateralized by, among other things, pledges of 100% of the ownership of each of the current and future mezzanine loan subsidiaries, and 49% of the ownership of each of the current and future real estate subsidiaries, as well as by joint and several repayment guaranties.
The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility, as follows:
Covenant (1) | Requirement | Result | ||
Senior leverage ratio | Maximum 60% | 47.3% | ||
Net worth | Minimum $50,000,000 | (2) | $112,656,699 | |

(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Credit Facility.
(2) Plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity offering, which totaled approximately $11.8 million as of June 30, 2013.
Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment of the Credit Facility totaled $323,918, which were being amortized over the life of the loan. Amortization expense related to these costs was $188,952 through April 3, 2013, the date of amendment of the

Credit Facility. The remaining costs of $134,966, together with additional closing costs of $206,455 for the expansion of the Credit Facility will be amortized over the period of April 4, 2013 through April 4, 2014, the new term of the Credit Facility. Total amortization expense and interest expense for the Credit Facility was $192,356 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The weighted average interest rate was 4.69% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
LIBOR was 0.194% on June 30, 2013. Based upon this current rate, the Company’s estimated future principal payments due on its debt instruments as of June 30, 2013 were:

10. Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes after this effective date. For the period preceding this election date, the Company's operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status, therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not currently subject to any known material commitments or contingencies from its business operations, nor any material known or threatened litigation.
12. Segment Information
The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company's business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across two distinct segments: multifamily communities and real estate related financing.
Multifamily Communities - consists of owned residential multifamily communities.
Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of mezzanine loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets.
The CODM monitors net operating income (“NOI”) on a segment and a consolidated basis as a key performance measure for its operating segments. NOI is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate assets plus interest income from its loan portfolio less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The Company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition expenses, and other expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. The Company's definition of NOI is believed by the Company to be a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment

(Unaudited)
community. The Company believes that NOI is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which the Company believes to be the line on the Company's consolidated statement of operations entitled “net loss”.
The following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net loss. The assets attributable to 'Other' primarily consist of deferred offering costs recorded but not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity and cash balances at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

This amount consisted of recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and the purchase of the four newly-acquired communities, net of mortgage debt assumed.

(A) The Company’s 59,121 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly.
(B) The Company's unvested restricted share awards (29,016 and 33,046 shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company has incurred net losses, the dividends declared for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock since the unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities.
(C) Potential dilution from 150,000 shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding due to the hypothetical exercise of a warrant issued by the Company to IAA on March 31, 2011 and warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Primary Series A Offering that are potentially exercisable into 1,183,020 shares of Common Stock, 106,988 Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, and a total of 148,174 unvested Class B Units issued on January 2, 2013 and August 15, 2012 were excluded from the diluted shares calculation because the effect was antidilutive.

16. Fair Values of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The following tables provide estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's real estate loans and notes receivable include deferred interest receivable from additional interest or exit fee provisions and are presented net of deferred loan fee revenue, where applicable.

The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable exit fee or additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date of the loan, based on the outstanding loan balances at June 30, 2013, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.
The fair value of the Company’s variable rate mortgage is believed to approximate its carrying value, as long as market interest rates remain below the level of the interest rate cap in place on this note. The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s other properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for seven year notes as of the reporting date. Consideration is taken of the current margin rates and spreads relative to the interest rate caps in performing this analysis. The present value of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the fixed rate mortgages and again at the current market rate. The difference between the two results was applied as a fair market adjustment to the carrying value of the mortgages.
17. Subsequent Events
On July 15, 2013, the Company closed on a mezzanine loan to Haven Campus Communities Member, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, or Carrollton, in the aggregate amount of $6,900,000, to partially finance the construction of a 568-bed student housing community adjacent to the University of West Georgia campus in Carrollton, Georgia. The borrower immediately drew $1,656,381 on the loan, which bears current interest at 8% per annum and matures on June 2, 2016, with options to extend to June 2, 2018. An additional exit fee payment for accrued interest will be payable in the event of the sale of the property, maturity of the loan, or a refinancing with a third party. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for the Company to realize the additional interest.
On July 18, 2013, the Company amended the revolving line of credit to its Manager by increasing the aggregate borrowing amount to $3.0 million and extending the maturity date of the line to December 31, 2013.
As of July 26, 2013, the amount owed the Company by Pecunia under the terms of the Company's $1.5 million loan to Pecunia was transferred by a novation to Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, or PCMS, which will be performing certain marketing and broker dealer services for the Company related to its capital raising efforts. PCMS is owned 100% by NELL Partners, Inc., a related party.
On August 8, 2013, the Company declared a dividend on its Common Stock of $0.15 per share, payable on October 15, 2013 to all stockholders of record as of September 16, 2013.
30
On August 8, 2013, the Company granted 708 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $8.45, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $5,983 was recorded in full at the grant date.
Between July 1, 2013 and July 31, 2013, the Company issued 4,163 Units and collected net proceeds of $3,835,021.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Significant Developments
On June 25, 2013, we acquired the 96-unit townhome-style multifamily community adjacent to our Trail Creek community, in Hampton, Virginia, or Trail II, for approximately $18.2 million. The construction of Trail II was partially financed by a $6.0 million mezzanine loan originated by the Company, which was applied to the purchase at the closing of the property acquisition, along with an exit fee for accrued interest of $283,062. On June 25, 2013, in connection with our financing of the Trail II acquisition, we refinanced the variable rate mortgage on the first phase of the Trail Creek community with seven-year, fixed rate nonrecourse mortgage financing, which totaled approximately $28.1 million and is secured by the combined phases of the community. Interest-only payments of 4.22% per annum are due monthly through June 2020.
On January 17, 2013, we completed a private placement transaction in which we issued 40,000 shares of our Series B Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock, or Series B Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, and collected proceeds of approximately $37.6 million, net of commissions. On May 9, 2013, the common stockholders approved the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock. As a result of such approval, the Series B Preferred Stock will be converted into 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock on May 16, 2013. The conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock created a deemed beneficial conversion feature ("BCF") as a result of the conversion price being less than the market price of the Common Stock on the previous business day. The BCF of approximately $7.0 million was recorded upon the conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock on May 9, 2013. As required by ASC 480, upon conversion, the deemed BCF was recorded as an increase in accumulated deficit, with a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital, with no net effect on total stockholders' equity. The increase in accumulated deficit was recorded as a deemed non-cash preferred dividend in the Company's earnings per share calculations.
The proceeds from the Series B Preferred Stock issuance partially financed our acquisitions of three multifamily communities on January 23, 2013: McNeil Ranch, a 192 unit multifamily community in Austin, Texas, for approximately $21.0 million, exclusive of assumed mortgage debt; Lake Cameron, a 328 unit multifamily community in suburban Raleigh, North Carolina, for approximately $30.5 million, exclusive of assumed mortgage debt; and Ashford Park, a 408 unit multifamily community in Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $39.6 million, exclusive of assumed mortgage debt. On January 24, 2013, we refinanced these multifamily communities with seven-year, nonrecourse mortgage financing, which totaled approximately $59.0 million. Fixed rate, interest-only payments of 3.13% per annum are due monthly through February 28, 2018. These three additional communities added 928 units to our portfolio, which, with the Trail II acquisition described above, now total 1,789 units.
During the second quarter of 2013, we added one real estate mezzanine loan to our portfolio with an aggregate loan commitment amount of approximately $16.6 million, to partially finance the construction of a new multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. Also, on April 30, 2013, we converted the real estate acquisition bridge loan previously made to Iris Crosstown Apartments, LLC to a mezzanine loan of up to approximately $11.0 million to partially finance the construction of a 342-unit multifamily community in suburban Tampa, Florida. Both mezzanine loans include exclusive limited options to purchase the properties once stabilized. Our total aggregate real estate loan commitments totaled approximately $73.9 million at June 30, 2013, and are discussed in detail in the Results of Operations section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
As of June 30, 2013, we had cumulatively issued 59,151 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $53.2 million from our Primary Series A Offering, which is discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. On August 16, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-183355) for our Follow-On Offering. The terms of the Follow-On Offering and features of the related Units are substantially the same as the Primary Series A Offering. The registration statement for the Follow-On Offering has not yet been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, but is expected to be declared effective in the fourth quarter 2013.
On April 4, 2013, we increased the aggregate borrowing amount under our revolving Credit Facility with an unrelated third party lender from $15.0 million to $30.0 million and extended the maturity date to April 4, 2014. The permitted uses of the Credit Facility are to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent) and working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. Amounts drawn under the line of credit bear interest at a variable rate which was approximately 5.2% per annum at June 30, 2013. More details on the line of credit are discussed in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

General
The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We are a Maryland corporation formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of our business strategy, we may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and we may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the construction of multifamily communities and other properties.
33
As a secondary strategy, we also may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 10% of our total assets in other real estate related investments, as determined by our manager as appropriate for us. We collectively refer to these asset classes as our target assets.
In addition, while we currently do not anticipate investing in unimproved property, developing new construction properties or acquiring new construction, as part of our business strategy, we may enter into forward purchase contracts on, or options to purchase, to-be-built multifamily communities and we may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the construction of multifamily communities and other properties.
We seek to generate returns for our stockholders by taking advantage of the current environment in the real estate market and the United States economy by acquiring multifamily assets in our targeted markets. The current economic environment still provides many challenges for new development, which provides opportunity for current multifamily product to potentially enjoy stable occupancy rates and rising rental rates as the overall economy continues to grow. As the real estate market and economy stabilize, we intend to employ efficient management techniques to grow income and create asset value.
As market conditions change over time, we intend to adjust our investment strategy to adapt to such changes as appropriate. We continue to believe there are abundant opportunities among our target assets that currently present attractive risk-return profiles. However, in order to capitalize on the investment opportunities that may be present in the various other points of an economic cycle, we may expand or change our investment strategy and target assets. We believe that the diversification of the portfolio of assets that we intend to acquire, our ability to acquire and manage our target assets, and the flexibility of our strategy will position us to generate attractive total returns for our stockholders in a variety of market conditions.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, effective with our tax year ended December 31, 2011. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our status as a REIT and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will conduct substantially all of our operations through Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or our Operating Partnership, in which we owned an approximate 98% interest as of June 30, 2013.
Industry Outlook
We believe continued, albeit potentially sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will continue over the coming quarters, which should translate into improved job growth and continued improvements in consumer confidence. We believe a growing economy, improved job market and increased consumer confidence should help sustain the current upward momentum in the multifamily sector. We expect current occupancy rates to generally remain stable, on an annual basis, as net absorption of available unit inventory and the new product coming on-line continues over the near term. The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing, is currently around the average historical levels due to a difficult construction financing environment, which, we believe, should help to keep occupancies stable.
Favorable U.S. Treasury yields and competitive lender spreads have created an improved borrowing environment for multifamily owners and developers. Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, investors have been willing to accept lower yields on U.S. Government backed securities, providing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae with excellent access to investor capital. Even with the recent rise in Treasury rates, we expect the market to continue to remain favorable for borrowing as the equity and debt markets continue to view the U.S. multifamily sector as a desirable investment. We expect the supply of multifamily housing units to continue to grow at a measured rate as market rent increases overcome financing, commodity, and other cost challenges, boosting revenue projections and making more construction projects viable for builders and developers.
We believe the combination of a more sustainable current and future lending approach from the banking industry, coupled with continued hesitance and reluctance among prospective homebuyers concerning the net benefits of home ownership versus renting will continue to work in the multifamily sector's favor, resulting in gradual increases in market rents, lower concessions, and opportunities for increases in ancillary fee income. In addition, we believe immigration rates to the U.S. may be lower than in recent years, driven by legislation in place in certain states and federal legislative efforts aiming to curb illegal immigration. As new residents of the U.S. are believed to be primarily renters rather than home buyers, we expect a marginal softening of market conditions due to this factor. More than offsetting this effect, we believe, will be a firming effect on market conditions by the ongoing migration of the domestic echo-boomer generation into the workforce and the declining rate of homeownership in the United States, resulting in a net increase in demand for rental housing.
34
Critical Accounting Policies
Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are critical. We consider these policies critical because they involve significant management judgments, assumptions, and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at 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
Cost Capitalization. Investments in real estate properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 30 to 40 years for buildings, 5 to 10 years for building and land improvements and 5 to 10 years for computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Third-party acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred for transactions that are deemed to be business combinations. Repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the items' estimated useful lives. Repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate property. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life.
Real Estate Acquisition Valuation. We generally record the acquisition of income-producing real estate as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs for business combinations are expensed as incurred.
We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on 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 average non-cancelable term of the leases. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases.
Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. These estimates include estimated carrying costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods. Acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases.
Estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities requires us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, the number of years the property will be held for investment, and market interest rates. The use of different assumptions would result in variations of the values of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact their subsequent amortization and ultimately our net income.
Impairment of Real Estate, Loans and Related Intangible Assets. We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate, loans and related intangible assets may not be recoverable or realized. When conditions suggest that an asset group may be impaired, we compare its carrying value to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including proceeds from its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of an asset group, we record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group. Fair market value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis requires us to use future estimates of net operating income, expected hold period, capitalization rates and discount rates. The use of different assumptions would result in variations of the values of the assets which could impact the amount of our net income and our assets on our balance sheet.

Real Estate Loans
We extend loans for purposes such as to provide partial financing for the development of multifamily residential communities, to acquire land in anticipation of developing and constructing multifamily residential communities, and for other real estate or real estate related projects. Certain of these loans we extend include characteristics such as exclusive options to purchase the project within a specific time window following expected project completion and stabilization, the rights to incremental exit fees over and above the amount of periodic interest paid during the life of the loans, or both. These characteristics can cause the loans to fall under the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, and thus trigger consolidation consideration. We consider the facts and circumstances pertinent to each loan, including the relative amount of financing we are contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control we hold, and our rights to expected residual gains or our obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the project. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to holding a controlling financial interest, the majority of decision making control, or by other means, consolidation of the VIE would be required. Arriving at these conclusions requires us to make significant assumptions and judgments concerning each project, especially with regard to our estimates of future market capitalization rates and property net operating income projections. Additionally, we analyze each loan arrangement and utilize these same assumptions and judgments for consideration of whether the loan qualifies for accounting as a loan or as an investment in a real estate development project.
Rents and Other Receivables
We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are written off when we deem the amounts to be uncollectible.
Revenue Recognition
We expect to lease apartment units under leases with terms generally of thirteen months or less. Rental revenue, net of concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material.
We recognize gains on sales of real estate either in total or deferred for a period of time, depending on whether a sale has been consummated, the extent of the buyer’s investment in the property being sold, whether our receivable, if any, is subject to future subordination, and the degree of our continuing involvement with the property after the sale, if any. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, we defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.
Other income, including interest earned on our cash, is recognized as it is earned. We recognize interest income on real estate loans on an accrual basis over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, are amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. We stop accruing interest on loans when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest of the loan, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Interest accrual on real estate loan investments is resumed once interest and principal payments become current.
Promotional fees received from service providers at our properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
Income Taxes
We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code effective with our tax year ended December 31, 2011. We had no taxable income prior to that date. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue
36
Service, or IRS, grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to operate in such a manner as to maintain our election for treatment as a REIT.
Equity Compensation
We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments such as warrants and stock options based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. When appropriate, we will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s).
Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Results of Operations
Overview
We commenced business operations in April of 2011 with our initial public offering. Our portfolio of real estate assets, as of June 30, 2013, consisted of six wholly-owned multifamily communities totaling 1,789 units and seven mezzanine real estate construction loans, six of which are partially financing the construction of multifamily communities. The total aggregate amount of our real estate loan commitments was approximately $73.9 million at June 30, 2013. Each of our multifamily related mezzanine loans contain exclusive limited options to purchase the properties once developed and stabilized.
We recorded net losses attributable to common stockholders of approximately $14.5 million and $799 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
The highlights of our second quarter 2013 include:
• | Net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter 2013, excluding the effect of approximately $125,000 of acquisition costs related to the Trail Creek community, was $2,607,974. This represents an increase of $1,737,982, or 200% over net cash provided by operating activities for the second quarter 2012. We incurred no acquisition costs in the second quarter of 2012. |
• | Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, or AFFO, was $1,896,365 for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of 129% from our AFFO of $826,684 for the second quarter of 2012. AFFO is calculated beginning with net loss attributable to common stockholders, which is our result after deductions for all preferred dividends. |
• | See the Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders section within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to net loss attributable to the Company, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure. |
• | On April 30, 2013, we converted the real estate acquisition bridge loan previously made to Iris Crosstown Apartments, LLC to a mezzanine loan of up to approximately $11.0 million to partially finance the construction of a 342-unit multifamily community in suburban Tampa, Florida. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate funded amount of the loan was approximately $7.2 million. The loan includes an option to purchase the property once developed and stabilized. |
37
• | On May 8, 2013, we closed a mezzanine loan of up to approximately $16.6 million to partially finance the construction of a 294-unit multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate funded amount of the loan was approximately $9.1 million. The loan includes an option to purchase the property once developed and stabilized. |
• | On May 9, 2013, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.15 per share, which was paid on July 22, 2013 to all common stockholders of record as of June 26, 2013. Our aggregate cash dividend declarations on Common Stock and Class A Units for the second quarter totaled $1,676,082. In addition, dividends declared on our Series A Preferred Stock for the second quarter totaled $745,417. |
• | On May 16, 2013, the conversion of all shares of our Series B Mandatorily Convertible Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) resulted in the issuance of an additional 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock. At June 30, 2013, we had 11,037,879 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. |
• | On June 25, 2013, we acquired the 96-unit townhome-style multifamily community adjacent to our Trail Creek community, in Hampton, Virginia, or Trail II, for approximately $18.2 million, less a capital improvements reserve of $250,000. The construction of Trail II was partially financed by a $6.0 million mezzanine loan originated by the Company, which was settled at the closing of the property acquisition, along with an exit fee for accrued interest of $283,062. |
• | On June 25, 2013, in connection with our financing of the Trail II acquisition, we refinanced the variable rate mortgage on the first phase of the Trail Creek community with seven-year, fixed rate nonrecourse mortgage financing, which totaled approximately $28.1 million and is secured by the combined phases of the community. Interest-only payments of 4.22% per annum are due monthly through June 2020. |
• | As of June 30, 2013, our total assets were approximately $260 million versus approximately $123 million as of December 31, 2012. |
• | On July 15, 2013, we closed a mezzanine loan of up to approximately $6.9 million to partially finance the construction of a 568-bed student housing project located adjacent to the campus of the University of West Georgia in Carrollton, Georgia. The loan includes an option to purchase the property once developed and stabilized. |
Acquired properties
On June 25, 2013, we completed the acquisition of Trail II, for approximately $18.2 million. The construction of Trail II was partially financed by a $6.0 million mezzanine loan held by us, which was applied to the purchase at the closing of the property acquisition, along with an exit fee of $283,062.

Overton
On May 8, 2013, we made a mezzanine loan of up to $16,600,000 to Newport Overton Holdings, LLC, or Overton, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 294-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia. At June 30, 2013, Overton had drawn $9,241,927 of the loan amount.
The Overton mezzanine loan matures on November 1, 2016, with options to extend until May 1, 2018, and pays current monthly interest of 8% per annum. The loan accrues an additional 6% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest. We also have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including July 8, 2016 and December 8, 2016 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $51,500,000. If we exercise the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Newport Overton, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Overton, and the ultimate owner of the property, and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by Robert F. Krause, Jr. and Richie Stephens, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without our consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $31.7 million that is held by an unrelated third party. Messrs. Krause and Stephens have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications and have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan through receipt of a certificate of occupancy of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.
In connection with the closing of the Overton mezzanine loan, we received a total loan fee of 2% of the aggregate amount of the loan, or $332,000, and paid a cumulative acquisition fee of 1% of the aggregate amount of the mezzanine loan, or $166,000, to the Manager out of these funds.

We also have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including February 1, 2016 and May 31, 2016 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $43,560,271. If we exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Oxford City Vista Apartments LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, a wholly owned subsidiary of City Park and the ultimate owner of the property. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole but not in part without our consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of approximately $28.4 million that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower, have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. In addition, Messrs. Faulk and Denny have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.
In connection with the closing of the City Vista mezzanine loan and subsequently in connection with future drawn amounts on the loan, we received a total loan fee of 2% of the amount drawn on the loan, or $159,618 and paid a cumulative acquisition fee of $79,809 to our Manager out of these funds. Additional loan fees will be recorded on subsequent drawn amounts up to the full aggregate amount of the loan.
Summit II
On May 7, 2012, we made a mezzanine loan of $6,103,027 to Oxford Summit Apartments II LLC, or Summit II, to partially finance the construction of a 140-unit multifamily community located adjacent to our existing Summit Crossing multifamily community in metro Atlanta, Georgia. At June 30, 2013, Summit II had drawn the entire loan amount.
The Summit II mezzanine loan matures on May 8, 2017, with no option to extend and pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest is due monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest (including the exit fee) due at maturity. We also have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase the property between and including October 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $30,945,845. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before or after the option period, we will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide us with a 14% simple interest return on the loan, in addition to loan fees received at closing, which totaled 2% of the loan amount. Since the minimum exit fee,
42
assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 14% simple interest return, we are accruing each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 14% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest. The accrued exit fee is recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. If we exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, any accrued and unpaid exit fee will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project.
The mezzanine loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Oxford Summit II. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole but not in part without our consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $12,384,000 that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. In addition, Messrs. Faulk and Denny have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan. The repayment guaranties expire at the completion of construction of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.
In connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, we received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $122,061, and we paid an acquisition fee of $61,030 to our Manager out of these funds, of which WOF received $610 through its special limited liability company interest in our Manager.
Notes Receivable
On June 25, 2013, the Company amended the bridge loan it made on March 20, 2013 in the amount of $500,000 to 360 Residential, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, by increasing the aggregate amount of the loan to $1,000,000. The loan bears interest at 8% per annum and interest only payments are due on a monthly basis until the maturity date of March 20, 2014. The loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty and accrues a cumulative compounded 6% exit fee which is due at repayment or maturity. The amounts payable under the terms of the loan are backed by guaranties of payment and performance by Clark Butler and Jeff D. Warshaw, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower.
On May 3, 2013,we closed on a land acquisition loan in the aggregate amount of $6,000,000 to TPKG 13th Street Development LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or 13th Street. At closing, 13th Street immediately borrowed $4,841,949 on the loan, which bears current interest at 8% per annum plus an additional exit fee payable in the amount necessary to provide us with a cumulative simple annual rate of return of 14% per annum through August 31, 2013. The accrued exit fee scales upward to 20% per annum on January 1, 2014 and thereafter. The exit fee will be due to the Company in the event of a sale of the property, maturity of the loan, or a refinancing with a third party, and there are no contingent events necessary for us to realize this additional interest. The loan is collateralized by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of 13th Street. The maturity date of the loan is January 15, 2014.
On January 24, 2013, we were issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,500,000 by Pecunia Management, LLC, or Pecunia, a Florida limited liability company. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and interest only payments are due on a monthly basis until the maturity date of January 23, 2015. The loan may be prepaid at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The amounts payable under the terms of the loan are backed by an assignment of Pecunia's rights to dealer manager fees payable by us to International Assets Advisory, LLC, or IAA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pecunia, pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement between us and IAA, dated November 18, 2011, with respect to the Primary Series A Offering.
On December 17, 2012, we made a loan in the amount of $1,300,000 to Riverview Associates, Ltd., or Riverview, a Georgia limited partnership, in the form of a promissory note. The loan bore interest at 8% per annum and interest only payments were due on a monthly basis until the note matured and was repaid on June 16, 2013.
On November 15, 2012, we made a loan in the amount of $650,000 to IAA in the form of a subordinated loan. The loan bears interest at 10% per annum and interest only payments are due on a monthly basis until the maturity date of November 15, 2013. The loan may not be prepaid prior to maturity. The amounts payable under the terms of the loan are backed by rights of withholding commissions due IAA by us in connection with securing placements of the Primary Series A Offering. As of June 30, 2013, we have retained certain accrued dealer manager fees totaling $375,000 as additional security on this loan.
On September 14, 2012, we made a loan in the amount of $500,000 to Newport Development, LLC, or Newport, a Georgia limited liability company and unaffiliated third party, in the form of a promissory note. The full amount of the loan was drawn as of June 30, 2013, and the balance of the loan plus accrued interest was repaid on May 8, 2013.
43
On March 26, 2012, we made a loan in the amount of $650,000 to Oxford Properties, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, or Oxford, in the form of a promissory note. The loan bore interest at 15% per annum and interest only payments were due beginning May 1, 2012, and continued on a monthly basis until the repayment of the loan, which occurred on September 6, 2012.
Line of Credit
On June 12, 2013 we increased the balance on the revolving line of credit to our Manager to an aggregate amount of up to $2.0 million, in order to provide liquidity to our Manager in support of its ongoing business operations. The credit line bears interest at 8.0% per annum, with interest payable monthly and matures on July 31, 2013. The loan is secured by a collateral assignment of the Manager's right to fees under the third amended and restated management agreement between us and the Manager, or the Management Agreement. At June 30, 2013, the amount outstanding under the line was $1,992,738. On July 18, 2013, we amended the revolving line of credit by increasing the aggregate borrowing amount from $2.0 million to $3.0 million and extending the maturity date to December 31, 2013.
Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 compared to 2012
Revenues
We recorded total rental revenue of approximately $5.1 million and $9.4 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $2.2 million and $4.5 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012. The increase in rental revenue for the 2013 periods was primarily due to the acquisitions of our three multifamily communities on January 23, 2013 and the contributions of rental revenue from those properties. Occupancy rates and rent growth are the primary drivers of increases in rental revenue from owned multifamily communities. At June 30, 2013, the Summit Crossing and Stone Rise properties experienced slight increases in physical occupancy rates as well as increased average economic occupancy for Stone Rise of 95.1% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 compared to 91.2% for the corresponding 2012 period. We define physical occupancy as the number of units occupied divided by total apartment units. We calculate average economic occupancy by dividing gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses, bad debt expenses and concessions by gross potential rent.
Factors which we believe affect market rents include vacant unit inventory in local markets, local and national economic growth and resultant employment stability, income levels and growth, the ease of obtaining credit for home purchases, and changes in demand due to consumer confidence in the above factors.
We also collect revenue from residents for items such as utilities, application fees, lease termination fees, and late charges. The increases in other property revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 versus June 30, 2012 were also due primarily to the acquisitions of the three communities in January 2013.
Interest income from our real estate loans increased substantially for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 versus June 30, 2012 due to the addition of five new mezzanine loans and the conversion of one real estate related loan since the end of the second quarter of 2012.

Property operating and maintenance expense
We recorded expenses for the operations and maintenance of our multifamily communities of approximately $0.9 million and $389,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $1.5 million and $0.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases were driven primarily by the acquisition of our three newly-acquired multifamily properties in January 2013. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are salary and benefits expense of property personnel, utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The number of employees assigned by our property manager to our six multifamily communities at June 30, 2013 is not expected to change materially over the foreseeable future. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents.
Property salary and benefits to related party
We recorded expense reimbursements to our Manager for the salary and benefits expense for individuals who handle the management, operations and maintenance of our multifamily communities of approximately $553,000 and $239,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $1.0 million and $492,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases were driven primarily by the acquisition of our three newly-acquired multifamily properties in January 2013.
Property management fees to related party
We pay a fee for property management services to our Manager in an amount of 4% of gross property revenues as compensation for services such as rental, leasing, operation and management of our communities and the supervision of any subcontractors. These costs were approximately $218,000 and $100,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately $405,000 and $201,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases from the 2012 periods were attributable primarily to the ownership and operation of the three newly-acquired multifamily communities acquired in January 2013.
We also paid general and administrative expense fees and asset management fees to our Manager which totaled approximately $852,000 and $369,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $468,000 and $188,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. General and administrative expense fees are calculated as 2% of gross property revenues and asset management fees are calculated as one-twelfth of 0.5% of the total value of assets per month, as adjusted. The percentage of these costs charged is governed by the Management Agreement. The increases in general and administrative expense fees and asset management fees for the three-month and six-month periods were attributable primarily to the ownership and operation of the three newly-acquired multifamily communities in January 2013, as well as the incremental effect of the additional real estate loans we added subsequent to June 30, 2012.
45
Real estate taxes
We are liable for property taxes due to the various counties and municipalities that levy such taxes on real property for each of our three multifamily communities. These costs were approximately $566,000 and $185,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately $1.0 million and $367,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases from the 2012 periods were attributable primarily to the ownership and operation of the three newly-acquired multifamily communities acquired in January 2013.
We generally expect the assessed values of our multifamily communities to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions, pressure on municipalities to raise revenues and increased activity in the transactional market. However, we have some protection against any potential rise in assessments at Stone Rise because its assessed value is frozen through 2015, unless there is a county wide reassessment. We recently won an appeal for the 2012 fair market value at Ashford Park and are currently appealing the 2013 fair market values of Ashford Park and Summit Crossing.
General and Administrative
We recorded general and administrative expenses of approximately $175,000 and $47,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and approximately $287,000 and $91,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases in 2013 over the corresponding 2012 periods were attributable primarily to the ownership and operation of the McNeil Ranch, Lake Cameron, and Ashford Park communities subsequent to their acquisition in January 2013.

Depreciation and amortization
We recorded expenses for depreciation and amortization of tangible and identifiable intangible assets of approximately $9.0 million and $1.9 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase from the 2012 period to the 2013 period was primarily due to the amortization of the acquired intangible assets related to the three newly-acquired multifamily communities of approximately $2.4 million and $5.3 million for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. These intangible assets will be amortized in full during 2013 and there were no such expenses for the comparable 2012 periods. Additionally, depreciation expense of acquired tangible real estate assets related to the McNeil Ranch, Lake Cameron, and Ashford Park communities was approximately $966,000 and $2.1 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively.
Acquisition costs
We recorded acquisition costs for our three multifamily communities of approximately $1.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. Acquisition costs consisted of due diligence, purchase negotiation, appraisals, acquisition fees, and other costs related to the McNeil Ranch, Ashford Park, and Lake Cameron communities. Acquisition costs in 2013 related to the
46
four acquired properties of approximately $1.0 million were included in acquisition fees paid to reimburse our Manager for expenses incurred such as due diligence, purchase negotiation, appraisals, and other costs related to acquiring these and other real estate assets. These fees are calculated as 1% of the gross purchase price of the multifamily community or of the principal amount of the real estate loan and are governed by the Management Agreement. These costs also include similar expenditures for services provided by third parties. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, we incurred approximately $125,000 of acquisition costs, which consisted of costs related to the acquisition of Trail II.
Insurance, Professional fees and other expenses
We recorded insurance, professional fees and other expenses of approximately $275,000 and $209,000 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 respectively, and approximately $579,000 and $413,000 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases in these costs consist principally of fees for audit, Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, tax and legal work performed and were due primarily to higher accounting and legal costs incurred in 2013 related primarily to audits of the property level financial statements of the McNeil Ranch, Ashford Park, and Lake Cameron communities.
Interest expense
We recorded interest expense of approximately $1.2 million and $0.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and approximately $2.4 million and $1.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increases were primarily attributable to the incremental interest and amortization expense of deferred loan costs on additional mortgage indebtedness from the McNeil Ranch, Ashford Park, and Lake Cameron communities.
Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”)
Analysts, managers, and investors have, since the first real estate investment trusts were created, made certain adjustments to reported net income amounts under U.S. GAAP in order to better assess these vehicles’ liquidity and cash flows. FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations”, which was most recently revised in 2012, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one we report) is:
Net income/loss:
• | Excluding impairment charges on and gains/losses from sales of depreciable property; |
• | Plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets; and |
• | After adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures |
Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, and so caution should be taken in comparing our reported FFO results to those of other companies. Our FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. We believe FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating results. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which we believe to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.
Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“AFFO”)
AFFO makes further adjustments to FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. We calculate AFFO as:
FFO, plus:
• | Acquisition costs; |
• | Organization costs; |
• | Non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives; |
• | Amortization of loan closing costs; |
• | Depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets; |
• | Net mezzanine loan fees received; |
• | Mezzanine loan exit fees received; |
• | Adjustments for non-cash dividends; and |
47
• | Losses on early debt extinguishment; |
Less:
• | Non-cash mezzanine loan interest income; |
• | Cash paid for loan closing costs; |
• | Amortization of acquired intangible liabilities; and |
• | Normally recurring capital expenditures. |
AFFO figures reported by us are not generally comparable to those reported by other companies. Investors are cautioned that AFFO excludes acquisition costs which are recorded as incurred, which generally occur in the periods in which the properties are acquired (and often preceding periods). We utilize AFFO to measure the liquidity generated by our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies that are not as involved in ongoing acquisition activities. AFFO is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which we believe to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.

(B) Since our AFFO results are positive for the periods reflected above, we are presenting recalculated diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock and Units for these periods for purposes of this table, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from grants of the Company's Class B Units granted in the Operating Partnership, warrants, and annual grants of restricted Common Stock. The weighted average shares of Common Stock outstanding presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations are the same for basic and diluted since we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders for the periods presented. |

Notes to Reconciliation of Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders and Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders to Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders
1) | The 106,988 Class B Units of our Operating Partnership awarded to our key executive officers for service performed during 2012, became vested and earned on January 3, 2013. These Class B Units automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, and as such are apportioned a percentage of the Company's financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these Class A Unitholders was calculated to be 1.40% and 1.69% for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively. |
2) | We incurred aggregate loan closing costs of approximately $1.8 million on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired multifamily communities. In addition, we paid a total of $323,918 in loan closing costs to secure our revolving line of credit, and $206,455 to increase the borrowing limit to $30.0 million in April 2013. These loan costs are being amortized over the lives of the respective loans, and the non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to these assets, other than in connection with our revolving line of credit. |
3) | We receive loan fees and loan commitment fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loans. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received, after the payment of acquisition fees to our Manager are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the non-cash income recognized under the effective interest method is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. |
4) | In conjunction with our acquisition of Trail II, the borrower settled the $6.0 million mezzanine loan due to the Company, as well as an exit fee for accrued interest of $283,062, which was an amount sufficient to bring our cumulative internal rate of return on the loan to 12%. Of the $283,062 payment, $228,826 reflects the cumulative non-cash revenue that was recorded prior to the period of repayment, and the balance of $54,236 reflects the amount recognized and received during the second quarter. |
5) | On June 25, 2013, we refinanced the mortgage on the first phase of the Trail Creek community concurrently with the acquisition of Trail II. In doing so, we recorded a loss on early debt extinguishment, which consisted of a three percent prepayment penalty to the lender of $458,250 paid from the proceeds of the refinancing, and the non-cash writeoff of unamortized deferred loan costs of $146,087. |
6) | On May 16, 2013, the conversion of our Series B Preferred Stock resulted in the issuance of an additional 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock was converted to Common Stock at a discount from the market value of the Common Stock on the issuance date of the Series B Preferred Stock. The discount constituted a beneficial conversion feature and was recorded as a deemed non-cash dividend in an aggregate amount of $7,028,557 to the holders of the converted securities and is an additive adjustment in the calculation of AFFO. |
7) | This adjustment is the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with the acquisitions of the Trail II, Ashford Park and McNeil Ranch multifamily communities. These intangibles, totaling approximately $384,000, are to be amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms of six to seven months. |
8) | We deduct from FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain the communities' revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for non-recurring capital expenditures, which totaled $74,408 and $7,016 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Short-Term Liquidity
We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:
• | operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily |
communities (including regular maintenance items);
• | capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities; |
50
• | interest expense on our outstanding property level debt; |
• | amounts due on our Credit Facility; and |
• | distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders. |
On August 31, 2012, we, in conjunction with our Operating Partnership, entered into a credit agreement with Key Bank National Association, or the Lender, to obtain a $15.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, or Credit Facility. The permitted uses of the Credit Facility are to fund our investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of the Lender) and working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. Amounts drawn under the Credit Facility accrued interest at a variable rate of the 1 month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, index plus 500 basis points until April 4, 2013, at which point we amended the Credit Facility to reduce the interest rate to LIBOR plus 450 basis points. This rate was approximately 5.2% per annum at June 30, 2013. The Credit Facility also bears a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Credit Facility of 0.50% per annum. Accrued interest and commitment fees are payable monthly and principal amounts owed may be repaid in whole or in part without penalty. The Credit Facility had a maturity date of August 31, 2013. On April 4, 2013, we increased the aggregate borrowing amount under our Credit Facility from $15.0 million to $30.0 million and extended the maturity date to April 4, 2014. We paid fees and expenses of approximately $200,000 to amend the Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility are secured by, among other things, pledges of 100% of the ownership of each of our current and future mezzanine loan subsidiaries, and 49% of the ownership of each of our current and future real estate subsidiaries, as well as by joint and several repayment guaranties.
The Credit Facility contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of June 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility.
At June 30, 2013, we had a balance owed of approximately $14.1 million under the Credit Facility. Interest expense was $248,238 (excluding deferred loan cost amortization of $166,581) and the weighted average interest rate was 5.0% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $3,240,000 and $1,797,000, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the incremental cash generated by property income provided by the acquired McNeil Ranch, Ashford Park, and Lake Cameron properties, the acquisitions of which were partially funded by the net proceeds from the sale of the Series B Preferred Stock, and an increase in cash collections of interest income from our larger portfolio of real estate loans and notes, partially offset by a reduction due to approximately $1.2 million of acquisition costs recorded in the 2013 period.
The majority of our revenue is derived from residents under existing leases at our multifamily communities. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of multifamily communities in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these multifamily communities; and (5) the ability of our residents to make their rental payments. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the recent improvements in multifamily fundamentals, such as higher occupancy rates, positive new and renewal rates over expiring leases, a declining home ownership rate and a decline in turnover, which we believe are all positive developments in the multifamily industry.
We also earn interest revenue from the issuance of real estate-related loans and may receive fees at the inception of these loans for originating them and setting aside funds to procure them. Interest revenue we record on these loans is influenced by (1) market interest rates on similar loans; (2) the availability of credit from alternative financing sources; (3) the desire of borrowers to finance new real estate projects; and (4) unique characteristics attached to these loans, such as exclusive purchase options.
Our net cash used in investing activities was approximately $67.8 million and $10.1 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The 2013 period included disbursements for our acquisitions of the McNeil Ranch, Ashford Park, Lake Cameron, and Trail II properties which totaled approximately $34.0 million and deployments of cash for real estate loans and notes receivable which totaled approximately $33.2 million, versus disbursements for loans and notes receivable in the 2012 period of approximately $9.8 million.
Cash used in or provided by investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-related
51
assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We have no current plans to dispose of any of our communities and will seek to acquire more communities at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, our capital expenditures, not including changes in related payables were:

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $69.2 million and $6.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. During the 2013 period, our significant financing cash sources were the receipt of approximately $37.0 million from the placement of our Series B Preferred Stock and $35.9 million from proceeds of our Unit offering, as well as approximately $2.5 million in net proceeds from the mortgage refinancing transactions related to our four acquisitions of multifamily communities; the 2012 period sources of cash from financing activities consisted of approximately $9.1 million from proceeds of our Unit offering. Our significant financing cash disbursements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 were dividend payments of approximately $3.1 million, deferred offering costs of approximately $0.7 million, and payments for mortgage loan origination costs of approximately $1.6 million; the corresponding 2012 period disbursements consisted of payments for dividends of approximately $1.4 million and deferred offering costs of approximately $1.1 million.
Distributions
In order to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, our objective is to meet our short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of our quarterly Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock dividends to stockholders, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, through net cash generated from operating results.
52
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, our dividend activity consisted of dividends on our Series A Preferred Stock and, prior to its conversion to Common Stock, our Series B Preferred Stock, which totaled $1,795,932, plus Common Stock dividends which totaled $2,431,957. Our cash-generating activity as measured by cash flows provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 was $3,239,751, which reflects a reduction of approximately $1.2 million of acquisition costs which were funded not by current operating results, but from net proceeds of the Series B Preferred Stock. Excluding the effect of these acquisition costs, our cash flows from operating activities was sufficient to fund our cash dividend distributions. We expect our cash flow from operations for future periods to be sufficient to fund both our quarterly Common Stock dividends and our monthly Preferred Stock dividends, with the possible exceptions of periods in which we incur significant acquisition costs, or periods of significant debt extinguishment charges.

Our board of directors reviews the Series A Preferred Stock dividend monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Series A Preferred Stock dividends will consistently be paid in cash. Dividends may be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. We expect the aggregate dollar amount of monthly Series A Preferred Stock dividend payments to increase at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new Units from our Unit offerings.
On February 7, 2013, we declared a dividend on our Series B Preferred Stock, equivalent to $0.145 per share of Common Stock on an as-converted basis. Such dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock may only be declared and paid if like-amount dividends are declared and paid on our Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Stock dividend totaled $690,476 and was paid on April 22, 2013. All 40,000 shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were converted to 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock on May 16, 2013.

Our quarterly Common Stock dividend declaration on May 9, 2013 of $0.15 per share represented an increase of approximately 20% from our initial Common Stock dividend per share of $0.125 following our IPO, or an annualized dividend growth rate of approximately 10%. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.
53
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
We believe our principal long-term liquidity needs are to fund:
• | the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures; |
• | capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities; |
• | costs associated with current and future capital raising activities; |
• | costs to acquire additional multifamily communities and enter into lending opportunities; and |
• | our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status. |
We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our Primary Series A Offering, Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities, especially our Primary Series A Offering during 2013, which expires on December 31, 2013. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.
On November 18, 2011, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604), or the Registration Statement, for our Primary Series A Offering. The price per Unit is $1,000. The Series A Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock at an annual rate of six percent (6%) of the Stated Value, which is $1,000. Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock will begin accruing on the date of issuance. The Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning two years following the date of issuance, subject to a 10% redemption fee. After year three the redemption fee decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redemptions are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2013, we had issued an aggregate of 59,151 Units from our Primary Series A Offering, leaving 90,849 Units available to be issued.
On August 16, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-183355) for our Follow-On Offering, which registration statement has not yet been declared effective by the SEC. However, we expect this registration statement to be declared effective in the third or fourth quarter 2013. The terms of the Follow-On Offering and features of the related Units are substantially the same as the Primary Series A Offering.
On January 17, 2013, we issued 40,000 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $1,000 per share through a private placement transaction. The gross proceeds totaled $40.0 million, with net proceeds to us of approximately $37.6 million after commissions. The Series B Preferred Stock was converted into 5,714,274 shares of Common Stock on May 16, 2013. On April 15, 2013, we filed a resale registration statement (registration number 333-187925) for the purpose of registering the resale of the underlying shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series B Preferred Stock were converted on May 16, 2013.
Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our securities is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REIT's, market perceptions about us, and the current trading price of our Common Stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the equity and credit markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive to us or at all.
The sources to fulfill our long-term liquidity in the future may include borrowings from a number of sources, including repurchase agreements, securitizations, resecuritizations, warehouse facilities and credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), in addition to our Credit Facility. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage in making our investments in multifamily communities. The number of different multifamily communities and other investments we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including the amount of funds available to us. By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio.
54
We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the fair market value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loans, notes receivable, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis. As of June 30, 2013, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 47.2% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at June 30, 2013. Neither our charter nor our by-laws contain any limitation on the amount of leverage we may use. Our investment guidelines, which can be amended by our board without stockholder approval, limit our borrowings (secured and unsecured) to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing. These targets, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. The amount of leverage we will place on particular investments will depend on our Manager's assessment of a variety of factors which may include the anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio, the potential for losses and extension risk in the portfolio, the availability and cost of financing the asset, our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, the health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general. In addition, factors such as our outlook on interest rates, changes in the yield curve slope, the level and volatility of interest rates and their associated credit spreads, the underlying collateral of our assets and our outlook on credit spreads relative to our outlook on interest rate and economic performance could all impact our decision and strategy for financing the target assets. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the investment cost for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. Finally, we intend to acquire all our properties through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these properties using debt financing techniques for that property alone without any cross-collateralization to our other multifamily communities or any guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels, except for our Credit Facility.
Our secured and unsecured aggregate borrowings are intended by us to be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. In determining whether our borrowings are reasonable in relation to our tangible assets, we expect that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.
Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our credit ratings (if any), the value of our assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (from both of whom we have obtained single asset secured financing on all of our multifamily communities), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.
If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we may have to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times in order to maintain our REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions and certain rules applicable to REITs. We may not be able to sell a property or properties as quickly as we would like or on terms as favorable as we would like.
Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher costs of financing, then the interest expense relating to that financed indebtedness would be higher. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Finally, sellers may be less inclined to offer to sell to us if they believe we may be unable to obtain financing.
As of June 30, 2013, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $127.5 million, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our six multifamily communities. The outstanding balance includes fixed-rate debt of approximately $108.0 million, or 84.7% of the total mortgage debt balance, and floating-rate debt of approximately $19.5 million, or 15.3% of the total mortgage debt balance.
As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $7.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.
55
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2013, we had an outstanding warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our Common Stock, or the IPO Warrant issued to IAA for financial advisory services performed in connection with our IPO. The IPO Warrant was issued on March 31, 2011. If IAA exercises the IPO Warrant, the purchase price for each share is $12.50 per share and expires on March 31, 2015. Neither the IPO Warrant nor the underlying shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the IPO Warrant were or will be registered. Under certain circumstances, the IPO Warrant also may be exercised on a ‘‘cashless’’ basis, which allows IAA to elect to pay the exercise price by surrendering the IPO Warrant for that number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of our Common Stock underlying the IPO Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the IPO Warrant and the ‘‘fair market value’’ (defined below) of the Common Stock by (y) the fair market value of the Common Stock. The ‘‘fair market value’’ shall mean the average reported last sale price of our Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date as of which the fair market value is being determined.
As of June 30, 2013, we had outstanding 59,121 Warrants from our Primary Series A Offering. The Warrants are exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2013, a total of 10,018 Warrants had passed the initial exercise date and so became potentially exercisable into a total of 200,360 shares of Common Stock. The remainder of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2013 become exercisable between July 17, 2013 and June 28, 2014 and have exercise prices that range between $9.00 and $11.64 per share. If all the outstanding Warrants at June 30, 2013 become exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $12.4 million and we would as a result issue an additional 1,183,020 shares of Common Stock.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2013, our contractual obligations consisted of the six mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Credit Facility. Based on the 1 Month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, at June 30, 2013 of 0.19%, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:

In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $19.2 million at June 30, 2013.
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. As of June 30, 2013, we have one variable rate mortgage, on our Stone Rise community, with a principal amount of $19.5 million. This mortgage has LIBOR effectively capped at 4.48% (all-in rate of 7.25%) under Freddie Mac's capped adjustable-rate mortgage program. We have limited market risk associated with debt maturity as the Stone Rise instrument matures in May 2018. Our Credit Facility accrued interest at a spread over LIBOR of 5.0% until its amendment on April 4, 2013, after which the interest spread was reduced to 4.5%; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of this loan, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal. We have no business operations which subject us to trading risk.
We have and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:
56
• | maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level; |
• | place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and |
• | take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity financings. |
We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.
If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2013, would increase by approximately $195,000 on an annualized basis, or decrease by approximately $38,000 on an annualized basis. The difference between the interest expense amounts related to an increase or decrease in our floating-rate interest cost is because LIBOR was 0.19% at June 30, 2013, therefore we have limited the estimate of how much our interest costs may decrease because we use a floor of 0% for LIBOR.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of the end of such period to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
As required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.
