Organization and Basis of Presentation

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 real estate related loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the development of multifamily communities and other properties. As a secondary strategy, the Company also may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loans secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 20% of its assets, subject to any temporary increase unanimously approved by its board of directors, in other real estate related investments such as grocery-anchored shopping centers, 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 7).

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 23,692,178 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 96.4% owner of the Operating Partnership at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 886,168 at June 30, 2016 and represented Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class A OP Units. The Class A OP 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 Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. The Company has determined the Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity, or VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities are held by the Operating Partnership. New Market Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, owns and conducts the business of the Company's grocery-anchored shopping centers.

Basis of Presentation

These 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 the fair statement of the Company's financial condition. 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. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 14, 2016.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets

The Company records its initial investments in income-producing real estate at fair value at the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, which requires that all consideration transferred be measured at its acquisition-date fair value. 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 and liabilities for multifamily communities include the values of in-place leases and above-market or below-market leases. Additional intangible assets for retail properties also include costs to initiate leases such as commissions and legal costs.

In-place lease values for multifamily communities 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, and which approximate market rates. 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 amounts of above-market or below-market lease values are developed by comparing the Company's estimate of the average market rent to the average contract rent of the leases in place at the property acquisition date. This ratio is applied on a lease by lease basis to derive a total asset or liability amount for the property. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases, plus any below market probable renewal options.

The fair values of in-place leases for retail shopping centers represent the value of direct costs associated with leasing, including opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, legal and marketing costs, incentives such as tenant improvement allowances and other direct costs. Such direct costs are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The value of opportunity costs is estimated using the estimated market lease rates and the estimated absorption period of the space. These direct costs and opportunity costs are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as acquired intangible assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases for retail shopping centers are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases, taking into consideration the probability of renewals for any below-market leases. The capitalized above-market leases and in place leases are included in the acquired intangible assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. Both above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, plus any below market probable renewal options.

Estimating the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets requires us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount and capitalization rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of unreasonable estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which would impact the amount of our reported net income. Acquired intangible assets and liabilities 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.

Loan Coordination Fees

Amendment Number One to the Fifth Amended and Restated Management Agreement, which was effective January 1, 2016, replaced the acquisition fees which were paid to the Manager upon the closing of the acquisition of a property with loan coordination fees, which are intended to reimburse the Manager for costs incurred related to negotiating and securing mortgage debt financing on acquired properties. Acquisition fees were recognized in full at the date of acquisition. Loan coordination fees are recognized over the term of the associated loan using the effective interest method in cases where mortgage financing is obtained at the closing date of the property acquisition. If no debt financing is utilized in conjunction with a property acquisition, the loan coordination fee is recognized in full at the date of property acquisition, in the Acquisition fees to related parties line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. If debt financing is obtained subsequent to the acquisition, any incremental deferred loan coordination fee earned is recognized over the term of the associated loan using the effective interest method.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 505-50, 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 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. For awards of equity compensation which have market performance vesting conditions in addition to multiple tranches of service period requirements, the Company utilizes the straight-line expense attribution method.

New Accounting Pronouncements    

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers (excluding certain contracts, such as lease contracts) to improve comparability within industries. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be paid in exchange for those goods and services and provide enhanced disclosures, all to provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective or a modified approach upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 ("ASU 2015-02"), Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This new guidance specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. Generally, only a single limited partner that is able to exercise substantive kick-out rights will be required to consolidate the limited partnership. ASU 2015-02 is effective on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard must be applied using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity/capital as of the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period presented. The Company's adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 ("ASU 2016-01"), Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The new standard's applicable provisions to the Company include an elimination of the disclosure requirement of the significant inputs and assumptions underlying the fair value calculations of its financial instruments which are carried at amortized cost. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, and early adoption is not permitted for the applicable provision. The Company does not expected the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating

the impact of this new guidance but does not expected its adoption to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09"), Compensation—Stock Compensation
(Topic 178): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard's provisions applicable to the Company include allowing the entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures of equity compensation awards when they occur. Previous guidance required entities to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. The standard is effective on January 1, 2017, and the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2016 pursuant to the allowed early adoption provision. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial instruments carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, utilizing a valuation account which reflects the cumulative net adjustments from the gross amortized cost value. Under existing GAAP, entities would not record a valuation allowance until a loss was probable of occurring. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is presently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) The contributor had an outstanding $6.25 million bridge loan secured by the property issued by Madison Wade Green Lending, LLC, an indirect wholly owned entity of the Company. Upon contribution of the property, the Company assumed the loan and concurrently extinguished the obligation.

(2) As partial consideration for the property contribution, the Company granted 419,228 Class A OP Units to the contributor, net of contribution adjustments at closing. The value and number of Class A OP Units to be granted at closing was determined during the contract process and remeasured at fair value as of the contribution date of February 29, 2016. Class A OP Units are exchangeable for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, or cash, at the election of the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the Company determined the fair value of the Units to be equivalent to the price of its common stock on the closing date of the acquisition.

(3) The Company assumed the existing mortgage in conjunction with its acquisition of The Market at Victory Village. See note 10.

(4) Subsequent to the closing of the acquisition, the Company closed on a mortgage loan on Wade Green Village in the amount of $8.2 million. See note 10.

The Palisades, Green Park, Stadium Village and Founders' Village loans are subject to a loan participation agreement with a syndicate of unaffiliated third parties, under which the syndicate is to fund 25% of the loan commitment amount and collectively receive 25% of interest payments and returns of principal. The aggregate amount of the Company's liability under the loan participation agreement at June 30, 2016 was $13,997,758.

The Company's real estate loans are collateralized by 100% of the membership interests of the underlying project entity, and, where considered necessary, by unconditional joint and several repayment guaranties and performance guaranties by the principal(s) of the borrowers. These guaranties generally remain in effect until the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement. The Crescent Avenue and Haven Northgate loans are also collateralized by the acquired land. The Haven West loan is additionally collateralized by an assignment by the developer of security interests in unrelated projects. Prepayment of the real estate loans are permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company's consent.

The Company monitors events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of its real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable or realized. When conditions suggest that an asset group may be impaired, the Company compares its carrying value to its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including proceeds from its eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, the Company does not believe that the carrying value of an asset group may be recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset group. Fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis requires the use of 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 net income and the value of the assets on the Company's balance sheet.

(1) On August 1, 2016, the Company terminated the purchase option on the Haven West student housing community.
(2) The purchase price is to be calculated based upon market cap rates at the time of exercise of the purchase option, with discounts ranging from between 20 and 60 basis points, depending on the loan.
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 VIE which could 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 would be required.
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 City Vista, Haven West, and Founders' Village loans. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the 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, 2016 of approximately $32.8 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of June 30, 2016 was approximately $33.4 million.
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 characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.
The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk that could be considered significant with regard to the real estate investment loans, promissory note, and revolving line of credit 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. The drawn amount of these instruments total approximately $95.4 million (with a total commitment amount of $108.2 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 real estate 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, 2016.

The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to real estate investment loans which are partially supporting proposed multifamily communities, student housing projects, and a retail shopping center in or near Atlanta, Georgia. The drawn amount of these loans as of June 30, 2016 totaled approximately $95.9 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $104.3 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 borrowers and guarantors behind the real estate investment loans, the promissory note and the revolving line of credit to Oxford Capital Partners, LLC and other related entities 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 within its financing segment of approximately $6.2 million and $6.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, and 2015.

6. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings
On August 16, 2012, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-11 (333-183355), and later amended the registration statement onto Form S-3, for an offering of up to 900,000 Units consisting of 900,000 Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 18,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or the Follow-on Offering. The Company's Follow-on Offering is being offered by International Assets Advisory, LLC, or the Dealer Manager, 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. On June 26, 2014, the Company amended the redemption schedule of the Preferred Stock to allow redemptions at the option of the holder from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock through the first year subject to a 13% redemption fee. After year one, the redemption fee decreases to 10%, after year three it 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. Warrant exercises resulted in the issuance of 815,520 shares of Common Stock for cash proceeds of approximately $8.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and 119,420 shares of Common Stock for cash proceeds of approximately $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, totaled approximately $67.4 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 $12.5 million. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had issued 688,788 Units from which it realized net proceeds of approximately $620.8 million after commissions and other costs.  A total of 5,243 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were subsequently redeemed. The number of Units issued was approximately 69.6% of the maximum number of Units anticipated to be issued under the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-On Offering. The Company cumulatively recognized approximately 69.6% of the approximate $12.5 million deferred to date, or approximately $8.7 million as a reduction of stockholders' equity.  The remaining balance of offering costs not yet reflected as a reduction of stockholder's equity, approximately $3.8 million, are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheet  as deferred offering costs at June 30, 2016.  The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs related to the Follow-on 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 anticipated to be issued. Offering costs not related to a specific closing transaction are subject to an overall cap of 1.5% (discussed further below) of the total gross proceeds raised during the Unit offerings.

Aggregate offering expenses, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, will be capped at 11.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-On Offering, of which the Company will reimburse its Manager up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of these offerings for all organization and offering expenses incurred, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees; however, upon approval by the conflicts committee of the board of directors, the Company may reimburse its Manager for any such expenses incurred above the 1.5% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.

On May 17, 2013, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-188677) for an offering up to $200 million of equity or debt securities, or Shelf Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on July 19, 2013. Deferred offering costs related to this Shelf Registration Statement totaled approximately $721,000 as of June 30, 2016, of which all have been reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity.
On February 28, 2014, the Company filed a prospectus supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement to issue and sell up to $100 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering, or the ATM Offering, through MLV & Co. LLC as sales agent. Through June 30, 2016, the Company sold approximately 6.5 million shares of Common Stock through the ATM offering and collected net proceeds of approximately $54.4 million. The ATM Offering terminated in connection with the expiration of the Shelf Registration Statement.
On May 5, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211178), or the New Shelf Registration Statement, for an offering of up to $300 million of equity or debt securities, or the Shelf Offering, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2016. See note 17.
On June 9, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211924) for an offering of up to 2,000,000 Units consisting of 2,000,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, or the New Follow-On Offering. Except as described in the prospectus, the terms of the New Follow-on Offering are substantially similar to those under the Follow-on Offering.

The Management Agreement also entitles the Manager to receive compensation for services rendered in connection with the construction, development or landscaping of the properties (Construction Management Fees), including the supervision of any third party vendors engaged by the Manager to provide such services; such fee is an amount equal to the customary and competitive market rates in light of the size, type and location of the property. The Company paid Construction Management Fees of $72,511 to the Manager for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, which were capitalized as part of the related capital improvements.
There were no such amounts paid to the Manager for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.

The Manager, at its election, may elect to forego payment of certain of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative expense fees due to the Manager for properties owned by the Company. With this election, the future payment of those fees becomes contingent upon the occurrence of certain capital transactions, to the extent that the net sale proceeds from these transactions exceed the allocable capital contributions for the asset plus a 7% priority annual return on the asset. A total of $721,285 of combined asset management, general and administrative expense and property management fees related to certain properties and land loans during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and $2,859,108 cumulatively are contingent upon these events. The Company will recognize these contingent fees, if any, in future periods to the extent it determines that it is probable that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the hurdles listed above. As of June 30, 2016, the Company determined that there was insufficient evidence to support recognition of these contingent fees; therefore, the Company has not recognized any expense for these contingent amounts.

The Manager utilizes its own and its affiliates' personnel to accomplish certain tasks related to raising capital that would typically be performed by third parties, including, but not limited to, legal and marketing functions. As permitted under the Management Agreement, the Manager was reimbursed $252,210 and $538,225 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, a broker-dealer owned by NELL Partners, Inc., was reimbursed $508,204 for these same costs for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. These costs are recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the Follow-on Offering, the New Follow-on Series A Offering, or the Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity.

The Company's Haven West, Haven 12, Stadium Village, 18 Nineteen, Haven South, Haven46, Haven Northgate and Lubbock II real estate loans and the Haven Campus Communities' line of credit are supported in part by guaranties of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer's son, a principal of the borrowers and a related party of the Company under GAAP.

In addition to the fees described above, the Management Agreement also entitles the Manager to other potential fees, including a disposition fee of 1% of the sale price of a real estate asset. The Manager earned a disposition fee of $390,000 on the sale of the Trail Creek property, which is included net in the Gain on sale of real estate, net of disposition expenses line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.The Manager also receives leasing commission fees. The Manager earned approximately $23,000 and $30,000 in leasing commission fees for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. No leasing commission fees were earned by the Manager for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015.

The Company holds a promissory note in the amount of $1,140,647 due from Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NELL Partners.

The Company has extended a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing amount of $15.0 million to its Manager.

Class B Units

On January 2, 2014, the Company granted 239,556 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2014. On January 2, 2015, the Company granted 285,997 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2015. On January 4, 2016, the Company granted 265,931 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2016, 2017, and 2018.

Prior to January 4, 2016, the Class B Units became Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which was generally one year from the date of grant. Beginning with the 2016 grant, certain Class B Units vest in three equal consecutive one-year tranches 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 Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (as long as the capital accounts have achieved economic equivalence), 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.

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 January 2, 2015, the 239,556

outstanding Class B Units for 2014 became fully vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. On January 2, 2016, the 285,997 outstanding Class B Units for 2015 became fully vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership.

The underlying valuation assumptions and results for the Class B Unit awards were:

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 per share of $0.1925 for the 2016 awards, $0.1925 for the 2015 awards and $0.16 for the 2014 awards.

Since the Company had a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumptions for the 2014 and 2015 awards were 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 approximated the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets. For the 2016 awards, the Company's own stock price volatility was utilized as the basis for deriving this assumption.

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 year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.

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.

Additional advances of the mortgage commitment will be drawn as the Company achieves incremental leasing benchmarks specified under the loan agreement. This mortgage has a variable interest of LIBOR plus 250 basis points, which was 2.96% as of June 30, 2016.

The Company has placed interest rate caps on the variable rate mortgages on its Avenues at Creekside and Citi Lakes multifamily communities. Under guidance provided by ASC 815-10, these interest rate caps fall under the definition of derivatives, which are embedded in their debt hosts. Because these interest rate caps are deemed to be clearly and closely related to their debt hosts, bifurcation and fair value accounting treatment is not required.

As of June 30, 2016, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 5.5 years.
Credit Facility
The Company has a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with Key Bank National Association, or Key Bank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of Key Bank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit is $70.0 million, pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum and the maturity date is August 27, 2018.
Also on February 12, 2015, the Company entered into a $32.0 million term loan with Key Bank under the Credit Facility, or the Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of two multifamily communities in Houston, Texas. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 4.0% per annum until it was repaid in full on May 12, 2015.

On January 5, 2016, the Company entered into a $35.0 million term loan with Key Bank under the Credit Facility, or the 2016 Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of the Baldwin Park multifamily community. The 2016 Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum (see note 17, Subsequent Events). On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into a $11.0 million interim term loan with Key Bank, or the Interim Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Anderson Central, a retail shopping center located in Anderson, South Carolina.  The Interim Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and the maturity date is May 25, 2017.
The Amended and Restated 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 amount of dividends that may be paid out by the Company is restricted to a maximum of 95% of Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO, for the trailing rolling four quarters without the lender's consent; solely for purposes of this covenant, AFFO is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, plus reserves for capital expenditures, less normally recurring capital expenditures, less consolidated interest expense.

(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Credit Facility.
(2) Minimum $360 million plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity offering, which totaled approximately $503 million as of June 30, 2016.
(3)Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was approximately $60.0 million.

Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment and subsequent amendments of the Revolving Line of Credit, the Term Loan, as well as the mortgage debt on the Company's multifamily communities, are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method over the lives of the loans. At June 30, 2016, aggregate unamortized loan costs for the Revolving Line of Credit were $419,668, which will be amortized over the remaining life of the Revolving Line of Credit. The weighted average interest rate for the Credit Facility was approximately 3.94% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. The Revolving Line of Credit also bears a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility of 0.20% or 0.30% per annum, based on the amount borrowed as a percentage of the total commitment.

11. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company generally will not be subject to federal and state income taxes after this effective date, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income to its shareholders. 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 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a payment guaranty in support of its Manager's new eleven-year office lease, which began on October 9, 2014. At June 30, 2016, the amount guarantied by the Company was $6.4 million. The amount of the guaranty is reduced by $555,000 per lease year over the term of the lease.
Certain officers and employees of the Manager have been assigned company credit cards. The Company has guarantied up to $405,000 on these credit cards.
A total of approximately $2.9 million of combined asset management and general and administrative expense fees related to the acquired properties as of June 30, 2016 have been deferred by the Manager. The Company will recognize any contingent fees in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that it is probable that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the hurdles listed above.

At June 30, 2016, the Company had unfunded balances on its real estate loan portfolio of approximately $71.8 million.

The Company is otherwise currently subject to neither any known material commitments or contingencies from its business operations, nor any material known or threatened litigation.

13. 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 three distinct segments: multifamily communities, real estate related financing, and retail.

Multifamily Communities - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned residential multifamily communities, including its owned student housing community.

Financing - consists of the Company's investment portfolio of real estate 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.

Retail - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned grocery-anchored shopping centers.

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 financing segment less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses NOI as a 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 following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net income (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.

(A) The Company’s 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. The Company had 683,545 and 312,308 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at June 30, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

(B) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (30,990 and 30,133 shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2016, and 2015, 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 incurred net losses attributable to common stockholders for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the dividends declared for that period 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 warrants outstanding at June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 from issuances of Units that are potentially exercisable into 12,353,700 and 6,165,280 shares of Common Stock respectively, are excluded from the diluted shares calculations because the effect was antidilutive. Class A Units were excluded from the denominator because earnings were allocated to non-controlling interests in the calculation of the numerator.

These pro forma operating results include aggregate nonrecurring adjustments to combined acquisition costs and acquisition fees of reductions of approximately $2.5 million and $0 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and reductions of approximately $5.1 million and $1.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what historical performance would have been had these business combinations been effective as of the hypothetical acquisition dates listed above, nor should they be interpreted as expectations of future results.

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 following tables provide estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments. The carrying values of the Company's real estate loans include accrued interest receivable from additional interest or exit fee provisions and are presented net of deferred loan fee revenue, where applicable.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)
June 30, 2016


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, 2016, discounted to the reporting date utilizing discount rates ranging between 10% and 12.5%.

The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for four, five, seven and 30 year notes as of the reporting date. The present values 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

Between July 1, 2016 and July 31, 2016, the Company issued 39,407 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $35.5 million after commissions and fees under its Follow-on Offering.

On July 1, 2016, the Company converted $12.5 million of the principal amount due on our City Vista real estate loan investment into a 96% equity ownership interest in a joint venture that owns the underlying 272-unit apartment community in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The allocation of this transaction to the fair value of individual assets and liabilities is not presented as the calculations of the allocation were not complete at the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On August 4, 2016, the Company declared a Common Stock dividend of $0.2025 per share for the third quarter 2016, which is payable on October 14, 2016, to common stockholders of record on September 15, 2016.

On August 5, 2016, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Key Bank and the other lenders, or the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, that (i) increased the borrowing capacity under our Revolving Line of Credit from $70 million to $135 million with the ability to further increase it to $300 million, subject to certain syndication and other requirements and (ii) extended the maturity date to August 5, 2019, with an option, subject to certain conditions described therein, to extend the maturity date to August 5, 2020.

On August 5, 2016, the Company repaid the 2016 Term Loan in full.

On August 8, 2016, the Company acquired a portfolio of seven grocery-anchored shopping centers with an aggregate of approximately 650,000 square feet of gross leasable area, located in various locations in four states in the southeastern U.S.  The total purchase price was approximately $158.0 million and the consideration transferred included approximately $97.7 million of mortgage financing.  The allocation of this transaction to the fair value of individual assets and liabilities is not presented as the calculations of the allocation were not complete at the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Significant Developments

During the first six months of 2016, we acquired four multifamily communities located in Orlando, Florida, Tampa, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia, representing 1,651 units, and a 219-unit, 679-bed student housing community adjacent to the campus of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $356.3 million. We also sold our Trail Creek multifamily community located in Hampton, Virginia. As of June 30, 2016, we owned 22 multifamily communities with 7,487 units and one student housing community with 219 units.

Also during the first six months of 2016, we acquired eight grocery-anchored shopping centers located in several Southeastern U. S. markets, with approximately 682,000 square feet of gross leasable area for an aggregate purchase price of $95.2 million. We now own 22 centers with an approximate aggregate of 1,960,000 square feet of gross leasable area.

During the first six months of 2016, we converted three bridge loans to real estate loans with an aggregate loan commitment amount of approximately $87.2 million to partially finance a planned multifamily community to be located in Atlanta, Georgia and student housing projects located adjacent to the University of South Florida in Tampa, Florida and Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. We also originated two new real estate investment loans and a member loan with an aggregate loan commitment amount of approximately $16.6 million in support of a planned second phase of our CityPark View multifamily community in Charlotte, North Carolina and a second phase of a student housing community adjacent to Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Also during the first six months of 2016, we originated a land acquisition loan of $6.0 million in support of a mixed use project in Atlanta, Georgia. As of June 30, 2016, our real estate loan portfolio consisted of 24 real estate loans and one bridge loan supporting twelve planned multifamily communities, eight student housing projects and one planned retail center, with an aggregate commitment amount of approximately $352.4 million. There can be no assurance that we will acquire any of the assets under construction.
    
During the first six months of 2016, we issued 202,606 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $182.3 million from our Follow-On Offering.

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 an externally managed 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 bridge and 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, we 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 20% of our assets, subject to any temporary increase unanimously approved by our board of directors, in other real estate related investments such as grocery-anchored shopping centers, senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in grocery-anchored related assets, membership or partnership interests in grocery-anchored shopping centers and other grocery-anchored related assets as determined by our Manager as appropriate for us.

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 and shopping centers 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.


37


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 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. We have and will continue to conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership in which we owned an approximate 96.4% interest as of June 30, 2016. New Market Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, owns and conducts the business of our grocery-anchored shopping center properties.

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, our average occupancy was 94.7%. We define average occupancy as market rent reduced by vacancy losses, expressed as a percentage. All of our multifamily properties are included in this calculation except for properties which are not yet stabilized, which we define as properties having first achieved 93% physical occupancy (Citi Lakes was not yet stabilized at the beginning of the second quarter), properties which are owned for less than the entire reporting period (Avalon Park), and properties which are undergoing significant capital projects or are adding additional phases (Summit Crossing, Stone Creek, Sandstone Creek and Baldwin Park).

Industry Outlook

                We believe continued, albeit potentially sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will continue for 2016, with continued job growth and improvements in consumer confidence. We believe a growing economy, improved job market and increased consumer confidence should help create favorable conditions for the multifamily sector. If the economy continues to improve, we expect current occupancy rates generally to remain stable, on an annual basis, as the current level of occupancy nationwide will be difficult to measurably improve upon. The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing, has been relatively measured in most of our markets. Nationally, new multifamily construction is currently at or slightly above average historical levels in most markets. Even with the increase in new supply of multifamily properties, recent job growth and demographic trends have led to good levels of absorption levels in most of our markets, which in many of our markets has offset or exceeded the new supply coming online. The absorption rate has led to stable or modestly increasing occupancy rates with concurrent increases in rental rates in our markets. We believe the supply of new multifamily construction will not increase dramatically as the constraints in the market (including availability of quality sites and the difficult permitting and entitlement process) will contain further increases in multifamily supply.
 
                We believe that the grocery-anchored shopping center sector benefits from many of the same improving metrics as the multifamily sector, namely improved economy and job and wage growth. More specifically, the types of centers we own and plan to acquire are primarily occupied by grocery stores, service uses, medical providers and restaurants. We believe that these businesses are significantly less impacted by e-commerce than some other retail businesses, and that grocery anchors typically generate repeat trips to the center. We expect that improving macroeconomic conditions, coupled with continued population growth in the suburban markets where our retail properties are located, will create favorable conditions for grocery shopping and other uses provided by grocery-anchored shopping centers. With moderate supply growth following a period of historically low retail construction starts, we believe our centers that are all generally located in Sun Belt and Texas markets are well-positioned to have solid operating fundamentals. The debt market for our grocery anchored retail assets remains strong. Life insurance companies have continued to demonstrate a specific interest in our strategy and we continue to see new participants in the market. Spreads and rates are generally

39


comparable to those for multifamily, however, the leverage levels on the retail assets may be slightly lower than the levels on our multifamily assets. 
 
                Favorable U.S. Treasury yields and competitive lender spreads have created a generally favorable borrowing environment for multifamily owners and developers.  Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, fueled in part by global instability and the recent “Brexit” vote in Britain, investors have been willing to accept lower yields on U.S. government backed securities, providing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (the GSEs) with excellent access to investor capital. Even with the recent volatility in U.S. Treasury rates, we expect the market to continue to remain favorable for financing multifamily communities, as the equity and debt markets have generally continued to view the U.S. multifamily sector as a desirable investment. Lending by GSEs could be limited by caps imposed by the Federal Housing and Finance Association, which could lead to higher lending costs, although we expect such higher costs to be offset by increased lending activity by other market participants; however, such other market participants may have increased costs and stricter underwriting criteria. 
        
                We believe the combination of continued high construction mortgage underwriting standards as compared to before the financial crisis, coupled with continued hesitance and reluctance among many prospective homebuyers to believe the net benefits of home ownership are greater than the benefit of the flexibility offered through renting will continue to work in the existing multifamily sector's favor, resulting in gradual increases in market rents, lower concessions and opportunities for increases in ancillary fee income. We also believe there will be a continued increase in demand for multifamily rental housing due to the ongoing entry of the “millennial” generation, the sons and daughters of the baby-boom generation, into the workforce, resulting in an increase in demand for rental housing. Finally, we believe a continuation of the declining homeownership rate trend in the United States would also result in increased demand for multifamily rental housing.

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 50 years for buildings, 5 to 10 years for building and land improvements and 5 to 10 years for computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment. 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.
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

40


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.
The fair values of in-place leases for retail shopping centers represent the value of direct costs associated with leasing, including opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, legal and marketing costs, incentives such as tenant improvement allowances and other direct costs. Such direct costs are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The value of opportunity costs is estimated using the estimated market lease rates and the estimated absorption period of the space. These direct costs and opportunity costs are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as acquired intangible assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place leases for retail shopping centers are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases, taking into consideration the probability of renewals for any below-market leases. The capitalized above-market leases and in place leases are included in the acquired intangible assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. Both above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, plus any below market probable renewal options.
Intangible assets also include the value of customer relationships, which represent the value inherent in the relationships with existing lessees, quantified by management's estimate of the average likelihood of lease renewal. Customer relationships are amortized over the average remaining non-cancelable term of in place leases, plus an estimated renewal period.
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 and Related Intangible Assets. We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate and related intangible assets may not be recoverable 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 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.

Impairment of Loans and Notes Receivable. We monitor the progress of underlying real estate development projects which are partially financed by our real estate loans and certain of our notes receivable. Draws of interest included in these loans

41


and notes are monitored versus the budgeted amounts, and the progress of projects are monitored versus the estimates in the project timeline. Changes in circumstances could indicate that the carrying amounts of our loans and notes receivable may not be recoverable or realized. When conditions suggest that an impairment condition may exist, 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 a loan or note, we record a valuation allowance to the extent that the carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. Fair market value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis and is substantiated by an independent appraisal if necessary. This analysis requires us to use future estimates of progress of a project versus its budget, local and national economic conditions and discount rates. The use of different assumptions would result in variations of the values of the loans and notes which could impact the amount of our net income and our assets on our consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue Recognition

We generally lease apartment units under leases with terms of thirteen months or less. We generally lease retail properties for rental terms of several years. 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 recorded in the appropriate period, to the extent that adjustments to the straight-line method are material.

Revenue from reimbursements of retail tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, or CAM, costs are recognized as the respective costs are incurred in accordance with the lease agreements. We estimate the collectability of the receivable related to rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and straight-line rent receivables, which represent the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental income on a straight-line basis, by taking into consideration our historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and remaining lease terms.

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 circumstances indicate that it is probable that the ultimate collection of all principal and interest due according to the loan agreement will not be realized, 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.

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 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, or Common Stock, over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. The compensation expense is accrued over the vesting period(s).

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers (excluding certain contracts, such as lease contracts) to improve comparability within industries. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be paid in exchange for those goods and services and provide enhanced disclosures, all to provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual

42


periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2014-09 may be applied using either a full retrospective or a modified approach upon adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this standard may have on its financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-02 ("ASU 2015-02"), Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This new guidance specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. Generally, only a single limited partner that is able to exercise substantive kick-out rights will be required to consolidate the limited partnership. ASU 2015-02 is effective on January 1, 2016 and early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The new standard must be applied using a modified retrospective approach by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity/capital as of the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period presented. The Company's adoption of ASU 2015-02 had no impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-01 ("ASU 2016-01"), Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The new standard's applicable provisions to the Company include an elimination of the disclosure requirement of the significant inputs and assumptions underlying the fair value calculations of its financial instruments which are carried at amortized cost. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, and early adoption is not permitted for the applicable provision. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-01 to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASC 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new guidance but does not expect its adoption to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-09 ("ASU 2016-09"), Compensation—Stock Compensation
(Topic 178): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The new standard's applicable provisions to the Company include allowing the entity to make an accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest or account for forfeitures of equity compensation awards when they occur. Previous guidance required entities to estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest. The standard is effective on January 1, 2017, and the Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2016 pursuant to the allowed early adoption provision. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-09 to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses
(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial instruments carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, utilizing a valuation account which reflects the cumulative net adjustments from the gross amortized cost value. Under existing GAAP, entities would not record a valuation allowance until a loss was probable of occurring. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. We are presently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on our consolidated financial statements. 

Results of Operations

The highlights of our second quarter 2016 operating results included:

Net loss attributable to common stockholders was approximately $9.2 million, or $0.40 per share of Common Stock for the second quarter 2016, versus $3.7 million, or $0.17 per share of Common Stock for the second quarter 2015, and a net loss of approximately $20.4 million, or $0.88 per share of Common Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2016, versus a net loss of $7.6 million, or $0.35 per share of Common Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2015. These results are reflective of non-cash depreciation and amortization expense and dividends to Series A Preferred Stockholders aggregating approximately $27.4 million and $12.0 million for the respective second quarter periods and aggregating approximately $50.6 million and $23.1 million for the respective six month periods.

Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, or NFFO, was approximately $7.6 million, or $0.31 per share for the second quarter 2016, an increase of 14.8% on a per share basis from our NFFO result of approximately $6.0 million, or $0.27 per share for the second quarter 2015. NFFO was approximately $14.6 million, or

43


$0.61 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 22.0% on a per share basis from our NFFO result of approximately $11.2 million, or $0.50 per share for the 2015 period. (1) 

Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, or AFFO, was approximately $7.4 million, or $0.31 per share for the second quarter 2016, an increase of 3.3% on a per share basis from our AFFO result of approximately $6.7 million, or $0.30 per share for the second quarter 2015. AFFO was approximately $16.3 million, or $0.68 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of 30.8% on a per share basis from our AFFO result of approximately $11.6 million, or $0.52 per share for the 2015 period. AFFO is calculated after deductions for all preferred dividends. (1) 

As of June 30, 2016, our total assets were approximately $1.8 billion, an increase of approximately $0.85 billion, or 93.3% compared to our total assets of approximately $0.9 billion at June 30, 2015.

Total revenues for the second quarter 2016 were approximately $45.9 million, an increase of approximately $21.8 million, or 90.4%, compared to approximately $24.1 million for the second quarter 2015.

Cash flow from operations for the second quarter 2016 was approximately $19.5 million, an increase of approximately $8.9 million, or 84.3%, compared to approximately $10.6 million for the second quarter 2015.

Our Common Stock dividend of $0.2025 per share for the second quarter 2016 represents a growth rate of 12.5% from our second quarter 2015 dividend of $0.18 per share and a growth rate of approximately 10.9% on an annualized basis since June 30, 2011, the first quarter end following our initial public offering in April 2011.

At June 30, 2016, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 56.9%.

For the second quarter 2016, our average occupancy was 94.7%. As of June 30, 2016, our retail portfolio was 94.4% leased.

For the second quarter 2016, our NFFO payout ratio to our Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 65.2% and our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 66.9%. (2) 

For the second quarter 2016, our NFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our Series A Preferred Stockholders was approximately 55.4% and our AFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our Series A Preferred Stockholders was approximately 56.1%. (2) 

On May 19, 2016, we sold Trail Creek Apartments, a 300-unit multifamily community in Hampton, Virginia, and collected net proceeds from the sale of approximately $10.5 million and realized a gain on the sale of approximately $4.3 million.

On April 19, 2016, we closed on a real estate investment loan of up to approximately $9.4 million in support of a proposed second phase of a 140-unit, 556-bed student housing project adjacent to the campus of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. The loan pays current monthly interest of 8.5% per annum and accrues deferred interest of 5.0% per annum. We also received a purchase option to acquire the property upon stabilization.

During the second quarter 2016, we acquired a 219-unit, 679-bed student housing community located in Tallahassee, Florida and a 487-unit multifamily community located in Orlando, Florida, We also acquired seven grocery-anchored shopping centers located in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, comprising approximately 607,000 aggregate square feet of gross leasable area.

With the closing of the acquisitions and sale referenced above, as of June 30, 2016 we owned 22 multifamily communities consisting of an aggregate of 7,487 units, one 219-unit student housing community and 22 grocery-anchored shopping centers comprising an aggregate of approximately 1,960,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Upon completion of all the projects partially financed by our real estate loan portfolio and if we were to acquire all the underlying properties, we would own 20 additional multifamily communities, comprising an aggregate of 4,839 units, including eight student housing communities comprising an aggregate of 5,374 beds, and one retail shopping center comprising approximately 212,800 square feet of gross leasable area. We evaluate each project individually and we can make no assurance that we will acquire any of the underlying properties.

On July 1, 2016, we converted approximately $12.5 million of the principal amount due on our City Vista real estate loan investment into a 96% equity ownership interest in a joint venture that owns the underlying 272-unit apartment community in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

On July 15, 2016, we acquired a grocery-anchored shopping center comprising 301,711 square feet of gross leasable area located in the Atlanta, Georgia market.

On August 8, 2016, we acquired a portfolio of seven grocery-anchored shopping centers with an aggregate of approximately 650,000 square feet of gross leasable area, located in various locations in four states in the southeastern U.S.  The total purchase price was approximately $158.0 million and the consideration transferred included approximately $97.7 million of mortgage financing.  The allocation of this transaction to the fair value of individual assets and liabilities is not presented as the calculations of the allocation were not complete at the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(1) “Per share” refers to per basic weighted average share of Common Stock and Class A Unit outstanding for the periods indicated. See Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Measures later within this "Results of Operations" section.

(2) We calculate the NFFO and AFFO payout ratios to Common Stockholders and Unitholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to Unitholders to NFFO or AFFO, respectively. We calculate the NFFO and AFFO payout ratios to Series A Preferred Stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and NFFO or AFFO, respectively. See Definitions of Non-GAAP and Other Measures later within this "Results of Operations" section.

Rental revenues are directly impacted by occupancy levels. Our average occupancy was 94.7% and 95.1% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We define average occupancy as market rent reduced by vacancy losses within our multifamily communities segment.

Our retail portfolio was 94.4% and 95.6% leased as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We define percent leased as the percentage of gross leasable area that is leased, including lease agreements that have been signed which have not yet commenced.

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. Other revenues from our grocery-anchored shopping centers includes tenant reimbursements to us for common area maintenance and utility reimbursements. The increase in other property revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015 was also due primarily to the acquisitions listed above.

Interest income from our real estate loans increased substantially for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 versus 2015, primarily due to the addition of 12 real estate loans and bridge loans since June 30, 2015, partially offset by the repayment or settlement of three loans in connection with the acquisition of the underlying properties. Also contributing to the increases in interest income were higher loan balances on real estate loans, from accumulating draws and loan balances as the underlying projects progressed toward completion. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate investment loans, bridge loans, and lines of credit receivable was approximately $321.7 million at June 30, 2016 and $196.2 million at June 30, 2015.

Property operating and maintenance expense

As shown in the following table, expenses for the operations and maintenance of our multifamily communities and retail assets rose primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by the multifamily and retail properties which were acquired since June 30, 2015. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. 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 and tenants.

Property Salary and Benefits Reimbursement to Related Party

We recorded expense reimbursements to our multifamily property manager for the salary and benefits expense for individuals who handle the on-site management, operations and maintenance of our multifamily communities. These costs increased primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by the multifamily properties acquired since June 30, 2015, as shown in the following table. The number of employees assigned by our property manager to our 22 multifamily communities at June 30, 2016 is not expected to change materially over the foreseeable future.

Property management fees

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 multifamily communities and the supervision of any subcontractors; for retail assets, property management fees are generally 4% of gross property revenues, of which generally 3.5% is paid to a third party management company. The increases were primarily due to properties acquired since June 30, 2015, as shown in the following table:

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 multifamily communities and retail assets.

We generally expect the assessed values of our multifamily communities and retail assets to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions and the value of our multifamily communities and retail assets, as well as pressure on municipalities to raise revenues.  

General and Administrative

The increases in general and administrative expenses were primarily due to higher franchise and net worth taxes, and administrative expenses related to the properties acquired since June 30, 2015, as shown in the following table:

Beginning January 1, 2016, the Company replaced the acquisition fees which were paid to the Manager upon the closing of a property with loan coordination fees. Loan coordination fees are calculated as 1.6% of any assumed, new or supplemental debt incurred in connection with an acquired property, or of 63.0% of the purchase price, if the asset is not leveraged and are governed by the Management Agreement. If debt is employed to partially finance the acquisition of the property at the closing of the acquisition transaction, then these deferred loan costs are amortized over the lives of the loans and are included in the interest expense line on the consolidated statements of operations. Acquisition fees paid to our Manager were calculated as 1% of the gross purchase price of the multifamily community, the retail asset, or of the principal amount of the real estate loan. These costs also include similar expenditures for services provided by third parties.

Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party

Asset management fees are equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total value of assets, as adjusted. The general and administrative expense fee is equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company. Both are calculated as prescribed by the Management Agreement and are paid monthly to our Manager. These fees rose primarily due to the incremental assets and revenues brought on by acquisitions made since June 30, 2015, as shown in the following table:

Contingent asset management and general and administrative expense fees deferred

The Manager may, in its discretion, elect to forego some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative expense fees for properties owned by us. Any deferred fees become due and payable to the extent that, in the event of any capital transaction, the net sale proceeds exceed the allocable capital contributions for the asset plus a 7% priority annual return on the asset. A total of $721,285 of combined asset management, general and administrative expense and property management fees attributable to the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 and $2,859,108 cumulatively have been deferred by the Manager. We will recognize any deferred fees in future periods to the extent, if any, we determine that it is probable that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the hurdles listed above. As of June 30, 2016, there was insufficient evidence to support recognition of these deferred fees; therefore, we have not recognized any expense for the amounts deferred.

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”)

Analysts, managers and investors have, since the first REITs were created, made certain adjustments to reported net income amounts under U.S. GAAP in order to better assess these vehicles’ operating results. 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 reported by the Company) 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 deferred leasing costs; and
after adjustments for the Company's proportionate share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, so caution should be taken in comparing the Company’s reported FFO results to those of other companies. The Company’s 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. The Company believes FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating results. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.


55


Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“NFFO”)

Normalized FFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, which are either not likely to occur on a regular basis or are otherwise not representative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. For example, since the Company is acquiring properties on a regular basis, it incurred substantial costs related to such acquisitions, which are required under GAAP to be recognized as expenses when they are incurred. The Company adds back any such acquisition and pursuit costs, including costs incurred in connection with obtaining short term debt financing for acquisitions and beginning January 1, 2016, amortization of loan coordination fees to FFO in its calculation of NFFO since such costs are not representative of our fund generating results on an ongoing basis. The Company also adds back any costs incurred related to the extension of our management agreement with our Manager, realized losses on debt extinguishment and any non-cash dividends in this calculation. NFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those NFFO figures reported by other companies.

We utilize NFFO as a measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe NFFO 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. NFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“AFFO”)

AFFO makes further adjustments to NFFO 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. The Company calculates AFFO as:

NFFO, plus:
• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;
• amortization of loan closing costs, excluding costs incurred in connection with obtaining short term financing related to acquisitions;
• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;
• net loan fees received; and
• deferred interest income received;

Less:
• non-cash loan interest income;
• cash paid for pursuit costs on abandoned acquisitions;
• cash paid for loan closing costs;
• amortization of acquired real estate intangible liabilities; and
• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized retail direct leasing costs.

AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of 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. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.    FFO, NFFO, and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Unitholders include recipients of awards of Class B Units in our Operating Partnership, or Class B Units, for annual service which became vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units. Unitholders also include the entity that contributed the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The Class A Units collectively represent an approximate 3.66% weighted average non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016.
(B) Since our NFFO and AFFO results are positive for the periods reflected above, we are presenting recalculated diluted weighted average shares of Common Stock and Class A Units for these periods for purposes of this table, which includes the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents from grants of the Class B Units, warrants included in units of Series A Preferred Stock issued, as well as 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 for any period for which we recorded a net loss available to common stockholders.

Notes to Reconciliation of Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders, Normalized 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)
Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 include activity for the multifamily community, student housing project, and seven grocery-anchored shopping centers acquired during the second quarter 2016 only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, the 2016 period includes a full quarter of activity for the seven multifamily communities and five grocery-anchored shopping centers acquired during the third and fourth quarters of 2015 and the first quarter 2016. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2015 include activity for the Aster at Lely and Venue at Lakewood Ranch multifamily communities only from their respective dates of acquisition during the second quarter 2015.

2)
Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership consisted of a total of 886,168 Class A Units as of June 30, 2016. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 3.66% and 1.25% for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

3)
We incurred loan closing costs for the acquisition of the Village at Baldwin Park multifamily community during the first quarter 2016 on our $35 million acquisition term loan facility with Key Bank National Association, or 2016 Term Loan. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the life of the 2016 Term Loan. We also incurred loan closing costs for the acquisition of the Avenues at Northpointe and Avenues at Cypress multifamily communities in 2015 on our $32 million acquisition term loan facility with Key Bank National Association, or 2015 Term Loan. These costs were deferred and were amortized over the life of the 2015 Term Loan until it was repaid in full on May 12, 2015. Since the amortization expense of these deferred costs is similar in character to acquisition costs, they are therefore an additive adjustment in the calculation of NFFO.

4)
We pay loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, our Manager, related to obtaining mortgage financing for acquired properties. These loan coordination fees are amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of NFFO.

5)
We incurred legal costs pertaining to the extension of our management agreement with our Manager. The three-year extension was effective as of June 3, 2016. Such costs are an additive adjustment to FFO in our calculation of NFFO.

6)
We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired multifamily communities and retail assets, and also for occasional amendments to our $70 million revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to NFFO 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 the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At June 30, 2016, aggregate unamortized loan costs were approximately $14.1 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 5.5 years.

7)
We receive loan 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 in excess of amortization income, 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. We also accrue over the lives of certain loans additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold to a third party. This non-cash income is deducted from NFFO in the calculation of AFFO.


58


8)
The Company records deferred interest revenue on certain of its real estate loans. These adjustments reflect the receipt during the periods presented of interest income which was earned and accrued prior to those periods presented on various real estate loans.

9)
This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with the Company’s acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for retail assets. At June 30, 2016, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $9.7 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.1 years.
        
10)
We deduct from NFFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures, which totaled $1,525,336 and $549,489 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This adjustment also deducts from NFFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers.

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 and grocery-anchored shopping centers (including regular maintenance items);
capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities and grocery-anchored shopping centers;
interest expense on our outstanding property level debt;
amounts due on our Credit Facility;
distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders;
cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders, and
committed investments.

We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with Key Bank National Association, or Key Bank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of Key Bank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was $70.0 million pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which became effective August 28, 2015 and matures on August 27, 2018. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum.
On January 5, 2016, we entered into a $35.0 million term loan with Key Bank under the Credit Facility, or the 2016 Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of the Baldwin Park multifamily community. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. On August 5, 2016, the Company repaid the 2016 Term Loan in full. On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into a $11.0 million interim term loan with Key Bank, or the Interim Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Anderson Central, a retail shopping center located in Anderson, South Carolina.  The Interim Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and the maturity date is May 25, 2017.

59


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, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility, as shown in the table below.

(1) All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Credit Facility.
(2) Minimum $360 million, plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity offering, which totaled $503 million as of June 30, 2016.
(3)Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2016, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was $60.0 million.

Interest expense for the Credit Facility was approximately $1.5 million (including deferred loan cost amortization of approximately $0.2 million) and the weighted average interest rate was 3.94% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

On August 5, 2016, we entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Key Bank and the other lenders, or the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, that (i) increased the borrowing capacity under our Revolving Line of Credit from $70 million to $135 million with the ability to further increase it to $300 million, subject to certain syndication and other requirements and (ii) extended the maturity date to August 5, 2019, with an option, subject to certain conditions described therein, to extend the maturity date to August 5, 2020.

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was approximately $32.9 million and $18.3 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the
incremental cash generated by property income provided by the nine multifamily communities and 12 grocery-anchored shopping centers we acquired since June 30, 2015, and an increase in cash collections of interest income from our larger portfolio of real estate loans, which grew from an aggregate carrying value of approximately $170.8 million at June 30, 2015 to approximately $279.1 million at June 30, 2016.

The majority of our revenue is derived from residents and tenants under existing leases at our multifamily communities and retail shopping centers. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of multifamily communities and retail shopping centers in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these multifamily communities and retail projects; and (5) the ability of our residents and tenants to make their rental payments. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the recent improvements in real estate 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 real estate 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 committing and originating them. Interest revenue we receive 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 $463.1 million and $227.6 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Disbursements for property acquisitions rose from approximately $199.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 to approximately $404.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Net deployments of cash for real estate loans and notes receivable were approximately $51.2 million in 2016, versus net disbursements for loans and notes receivable in the 2015 period of approximately $24.1 million.

Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties and retail shopping centers and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-

60


related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We will seek to acquire more multifamily communities and retail shopping centers 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 or tenants in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with acquisitions are funded from the capital sources for the acquisitions and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $433.5 million and $213.0 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our receipts of funds from mortgage financing transactions of asset acquisitions were approximately $249.8 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 related to the acquisitions of four multifamily communities, five of seven grocery-anchored shopping centers, and one student housing community during the period, versus approximately $137.7 million from the mortgage financing of the five multifamily communities during the 2015 period. Net proceeds from our Follow-on Offering rose from approximately $108.6 million to $180.4 million in the 2016 period. We collected net proceeds from the exercise of Warrants of approximately $9.4 million during the 2016 period versus $0.8 million for the 2015 period. We also collected net proceeds from our ATM Offering of approximately $5.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015 and none in the 2016 period.

We believe that our short-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded.

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 dividends, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Preferred Stock, through net cash generated from operating results. In addition, our Series A Preferred Stock is redeemable by the holder at stated value commencing on the date of issuance, subject to a declining redemption fee.  Redemptions may be satisfied in cash or Common Stock, at our discretion. In the event we choose to redeem for cash but do not have available funds to do so, we intend to satisfy the request with shares of our Common Stock.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, our aggregate dividends and distributions paid totaled approximately $25.2 million and our cash flows from operating activities of approximately $32.9 million were more than sufficient to fund our cash dividend distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2016. We expect our cash flow from operations for future periods to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends and distributions to Class A Unitholders, as well as 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.

At June 30, 2016, we had 23,692,178 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, an additional 30,990 shares of unvested restricted stock, and 886,168 outstanding Class A Units in our Operating Partnership, all of which are entitled to quarterly

63


dividends or distributions, when and if declared by our board of directors. Our second quarter dividend declaration of $0.2025 per share represents a 12.5% increase from the dividend of $0.18 for the second quarter 2015. The annualized rate of growth from our first dividend of $0.125 per share following our initial public offering in April 2011 to the second quarter 2016 was approximately 12.5%.
 
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. There can be no assurance that the Series A Preferred Stock dividends will consistently be paid in cash and 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 Follow-On Offering. At June 30, 2016, we had 683,545 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which receive a monthly dividend of $5.00 per share.

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 and retail shopping centers;
costs associated with current and future capital raising activities;
costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, retail assets or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing 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 Follow-on 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 Follow-on Offering. 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 October 11, 2013, the SEC declared effective our Follow-On Offering Registration Statement for an offering of up to 900,000 Units to be offered from time to time on a “reasonable best efforts” basis. Except as described in the prospectus for the Follow-On Offering, the terms of the Follow-On Offering are substantially similar to the terms of the Primary Series A Offering. As of June 30, 2016, we had issued an aggregate of 688,788 Units from both our Primary Series A Offering which expired on December 31, 2013 and our Follow-On Offering. At June 30, 2016, we had 300,620 Units remaining available to be issued from our Follow-on Offering. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, 815,520 shares of Common Stock were issued from the exercise of Warrants, which ultimately resulted in cash proceeds to us of approximately $8.4 million.

Aggregate offering expenses, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, were approximately $79.9 million at June 30, 2016. These expenses will be capped at 11.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-On Offering. We will reimburse our Manager up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of these offerings for all organization and offering expenses incurred, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees; however, upon approval by the conflicts committee of our board of directors, we may reimburse our Manager for any such expenses incurred above the 1.5% amount as permitted by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. To clarify the prospectus for our Follow-On Offering, we will not pay selling commissions, but will pay dealer manager fees, in connection with the sale of Units through any participating broker-dealer that agrees to waive any or all of the selling commissions for such sale. The amount of selling commissions not paid will equal the amount of the selling commissions waived by the participating broker-dealer. The net proceeds to us will not be affected by reducing the commissions payable in connection with such sales.    

On May 5, 2016, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211178) for an offering up to $300 million of equity or debt securities, or the New Shelf Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2016. On July 18, 2016, we filed a prospectus to our New Shelf Registration Statement to issue and sell up to $150 million of our Common Stock from time to time in an “at the market” offering, or the New ATM Offering, through Jones Trading Institutional Services LLC, FBR Capital Markets & Co., and Canaccord Genuity Inc., as sales agents. We issued no shares of Common Stock under our New ATM Offering during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016.

On June 9, 2016, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211924) for an offering of up to 2,000,000 Units consisting of 2,000,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase 40,000,000 shares of

Common Stock, or the New Follow-On Series A Offering. Except as described in the prospectus, the terms of the New Follow-on Series A Offering are substantially similar to those under the Follow-on Offering.

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 and retail shopping centers. The number of different multifamily communities, retail shopping centers 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.

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, 2016, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 53.4% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at June 30, 2016. 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 real estate assets through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these assets using debt financing techniques for that asset alone without any cross-collateralization to our other real estate assets 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.


65


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, 2016, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $957.1 million, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our multifamily communities and grocery-anchored shopping centers. In addition, we held loan participation obligations of approximately $14.0 million and a principal amount owed on the 2016 Term Loan of $41.0 million at June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, we had approximately $5.7 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2016, we had outstanding 617,685 Warrants from our sales of Units. 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, 2016, a total of 69,799 Warrants had been exercised for the purchase of 1,395,980 shares of Common Stock and 1,304 Warrants had expired. A remaining total of 243,132 Warrants had passed the initial exercise date and so became potentially exercisable into a total of 4,862,640 shares of Common Stock. The remainder of the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2016 become potentially exercisable between July 15, 2016 and June 29, 2017 and have exercise prices that range between $12.29 and $16.88 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2016 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $162.5 million and we would as a result issue an additional 12,353,700 shares of Common Stock.

In addition to the principal amounts payable in the above chart, we had a principal amount due in less than one year of $28.5 million on our revolving Line of Credit at June 30, 2016, as well as $41.0 million principal amount outstanding on our Term Loans and accrued interest as of June 30, 2016 on these instruments of $48,749. In addition to the amounts in the above table, we had unfunded real estate loan commitment amounts totaling approximately $71.8 million, including unfunded real estate loan participation obligations of approximately $0.6 million at June 30, 2016.

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, 2016, we have six variable rate mortgages, on our Avenues at Creekside, Citi Lakes, Avalon Park and Baldwin Park (Avalon Park and Baldwin Park both have two mortgages) multifamily communities, and one on our our Royal Lakes Marketplace grocery-anchored shopping center, with an aggregate principal amount of approximately $238 million. Two of these mortgages have LIBOR effectively capped at 5.0% and 4.33% (all-in rates of 6.6% and 6.5%) under Freddie Mac's capped adjustable-rate mortgage program. Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread over LIBOR of 3.25% as of June 30, 2016; this combined rate is uncapped. Because of the short term nature of this instrument, 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:

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, 2016, would increase by approximately $2.3 million on an annualized basis, or decrease by approximately $1.1 million 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 0.47% at June 30, 2016, 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
