Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc., or the Company, was formed as a Maryland corporation on September 18, 2009, and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of its property acquisition strategy, the Company may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the construction of these properties. As a secondary strategy, the Company also may acquire senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 10% of its total assets in other real estate related investments, as determined by its Manager (as defined below) as appropriate for the Company. The Company is externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party (see Note 7).

On February 22, 2011, the Company effected a change in the designation of its issued and outstanding and authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, and effected a change of each of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, all pursuant to an amendment to the Company's charter. As a result of these actions, NELL Partners, Inc. held 36,666 shares of Common Stock as of February 22, 2011. The consolidated statement of equity and accumulated deficit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 has been retroactively restated to reflect this change.

On February 25, 2011, the Company amended its prior authorization to issue up to $75.0 million in Class A Common Stock in accordance with the change in designation of all shares of Class A Common Stock to shares of Common Stock, as described above, and, as a result, the board of directors of the Company authorized the issuance and sale of up to $75.0 million in Common Stock in an initial public offering.

The Company completed its initial public offering, or IPO, on April 5, 2011. The IPO resulted in the sale of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $10.00, generating gross proceeds of $45.0 million. The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters' discounts and commissions and other offering costs, were approximately $39.8 million. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, in a separate private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Williams Opportunity Fund, LLC, or WOF, at the public offering price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $5 million. Aggregated estimated offering expenses in connection with the private placement were approximately $297,700. WOF is an affiliate of the Company and its Manager.

On May 4, 2011, in conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued and sold 107,361 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option, for gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 million. After deducting underwriters’ commissions and offering expenses, net proceeds to the Company from the over-allotment option were approximately $1.0 million.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and plans to conduct substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2012, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets

The Company generally records its initial investments in income-producing real estate at fair value at the acquisition date, in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. Acquisition costs, which include fees and expenses for due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting services, generally will be expensed as incurred.

The aggregate purchase price of acquired properties is apportioned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values. The value of acquired land, buildings and improvements is estimated by formal appraisals, observed comparable sales transactions, and information gathered during pre-acquisition due diligence activities and the valuation approach considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The values of furniture, fixtures, and equipment are estimated by calculating their replacement cost and reducing that value by factors based upon estimates of their remaining useful lives.

Intangible assets include the values of in-place leases and customer relationships. In-place lease values are estimated by calculating the estimated time to fill a hypothetically empty apartment complex to its stabilization level (estimated to be 92% occupancy) based on historical observed move-in rates for each property. Carrying costs during these hypothetical expected lease-up periods are estimated, considering current market conditions and include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates. The intangible assets are calculated by estimating the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. The acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases. The values of customer relationships are estimated by calculating the product of the avoided hypothetical lost revenue and the average renewal probability and are likewise amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. Acquired intangible assets generally have no residual value.

The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment annually or 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, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the asset. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value versus the discounted net cash flows of the asset.

Loans Held for Investment

The Company records its investments in real estate loans at cost with assessments made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. Recoveries of valuation allowances are only recognized in the event of maturity or a sale or disposition in an amount above carrying value. See the ‘Revenue Recognition’ section of this note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted by state law or contractual requirement and, as of June 30, 2012, relates primarily to tax and insurance escrows and resident security deposits.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if they are deemed impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in accounting and reporting for real estate assets where appropriate, as well as debt instruments both held for investment and as liabilities. The standard requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or

indirectly.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the related indebtedness.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs represent offering costs incurred by the Company related to, but prior to the effective date of pending equity offerings. For issuances of equity that occur on one specific date, associated offering costs are reclassified as a reduction of proceeds raised on the date of issue. Our ongoing offering of Units, consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Preferred Stock, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase 20 shares of Common Stock, or Units, generally closes on a monthly basis in variable amounts. Associated offering costs are reclassified to the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of proceeds raised on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of total Units issued to the maximum number of Units that may be issued.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest of the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for contributions, distributions and earnings (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in the consolidated entity in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended.

Redeemable Preferred Stock

Shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock issued in conjunction with the Company’s Unit offering (further described in note 6) are redeemable at the option of the holder, subject to a declining redemption fee schedule. Redemptions are therefore outside the control of the Company. However, the Company retains the right to fund any redemptions of Preferred Stock in either Common Stock or cash at its option, excluding limited holder death rights which expire two years after the applicable issuance date. Therefore, the Company records Preferred Stock as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents, which is over the terms of rental agreements, typically of 13 months’ duration. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are generally deemed uncollectible 30 days beyond the due date, at which point they are fully reserved.

Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income. The accrual of interest on all these instruments is stopped

when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Real estate loan investments are reclassified as accrual-basis once interest and principal payments become current.

Promotional fees received from service providers at the Company’s properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

The PAC Rewards program, implemented in the first quarter of 2012, allows residents to accumulate reward points on a monthly basis for actions such as resident referrals and making rent payments online. A resident must rent a PAC apartment for at least 14 months before reward points may be redeemed for services or upgrades to a resident’s unit. The Company accrues a liability for the estimated cost of these future point redemptions, net of a 35% breakage fee, which is the Company’s current estimate of rewards points that will not be redeemed. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 13.A.3c, the Company deems its obligations under PAC Rewards as inconsequential to the delivery of services according to the lease terms. Therefore, the expense related to the PAC Rewards Program is included in property operating and maintenance expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees and ASC 718, Stock Compensation. We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments at the date of grant based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. We will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s). We record the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant.

Acquisition Costs

The Company expenses property acquisition costs as incurred, which include costs such as due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting.

Capitalization and Depreciation

The Company capitalizes replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as carpet, appliances, air conditioning units, certain common area items, and other assets. Significant repair and renovation costs that improve the usefulness or extend the useful life of the properties are also capitalized. These assets are then depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

•Buildings                    40 years

•Furniture, fixtures & equipment            5 - 10 years

•Improvements to buildings and land        5 - 10 years    

•Acquired customer intangibles            average remaining lease term

Operating expenses related to unit turnover costs, such as carpet cleaning, mini-blind replacements, and minor repairs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years

following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. The Company intends to operate in such a manner as to maintain its election for treatment as a REIT.

Since the Company made its REIT election effective as of January 1, 2011 (See Note 12), it was subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes for the period prior to that date. The provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial statement purposes after adjustment for transactions that do not have tax consequences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized according to the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the balance sheet. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. If a valuation allowance is needed, a subsequent change in circumstances in future periods that causes a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities such as share grants or warrants. No adjustment is made for potential Common Stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive during the period.

Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The substantive changes in this new guidance require the application of a premium or discount in valuing an instrument that is absent Level 1 inputs, when a market participant would apply such a factor in valuing an instrument. The guidance also enhances disclosure requirements: (i) for fair values of Level 3 assets, the valuation process used for those assets and the sensitivity of those calculations to changes in the amount of unobservable inputs; (ii) a reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use when that asset is measured at fair value in the statement of financial position; and (iii) the categorization by level within the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This new guidance removes the option of presenting elements of other comprehensive income within the statements of changes to stockholders’ equity. Instead, the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary

in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

3. Real Estate Assets

The Company acquired the following three properties which were either partly or wholly owned by parties related to the Company. The acquisition price for each property was based on the appraisals of two independent real estate appraisers and was approved by the Company's conflicts committee.

On April 15, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Stone Rise Apartments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Oxford Rise JV LLC), the fee-simple owner of a 216-unit multifamily community located in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or Stone Rise, for a total purchase price of $30.15 million, exclusive of acquisition-related and financing-related transaction costs. The membership interests in Oxford Rise JV LLC were owned by WOF.

On April 21, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in PAC Summit Crossing, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (f/k/a Oxford Summit Partners, LLC), the fee-simple owner of a 345-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, or Summit Crossing, for a total purchase price of $33.2 million, exclusive of acquisition-related and financing-related transaction costs. Williams Realty Fund I, LLC, or WRF, owned a majority of the membership interests in PAC Summit Crossing, LLC.

4.     Real Estate Loans

On June 29, 2012, the Company made a real estate acquisition bridge loan in the amount of $2,868,471 to Iris Crosstown Apartments LLC, or Iris, a Georgia limited liability company, to acquire a parcel of land located in suburban Tampa, Florida, upon which a multifamily community is to be constructed. The amount drawn under the loan at June 30, 2012 was $2,811,101, with the balance scheduled to be drawn at a later date. The bridge loan matures on December 31, 2012, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. If Iris sells the property to a third party or if a third party refinances the bridge loan at any time during its term, an additional 6.0% exit fee will be due and payable to the Company.

The bridge loan is secured by a mortgage, an assignment of project documents and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by W. Daniel Faulk, Jr., Richard A. Denny, and J. Michael Morris, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. In connection with the closing of the bridge loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $57,369 and paid an acquisition fee of $28,685 to the Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

On May 7, 2012, the Company made a mezzanine loan, or Summit II, in the amount of $6,103,027 to Oxford Summit Apartments II LLC, or Oxford Summit II, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 140-unit multifamily community located adjacent to the Company’s existing Summit Crossing multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

The Summit II mezzanine loan matures on May 8, 2017, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. The Company will accrue an additional 6.0% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. The Company also has an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property between and including October 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $19,254,155. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Oxford Summit II. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $12,384,000 that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. In addition, Messrs. Faulk and Denny have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan. The repayment guaranties expire at the completion of construction of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Summit II mezzanine loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $122,061 and paid an acquisition fee of $61,030 to the Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

On June 30, 2011, the Company made a mezzanine loan, or Trail II, of $6.0 million to Oxford Hampton Partners LLC, or Hampton Partners, a Georgia limited liability company and a related party, to partially finance the construction of a 96-unit multifamily

(unaudited)

community located adjacent to the Company’s existing Trail Creek multifamily community in Hampton, Virginia. Hampton Partners was required to fully draw down the mezzanine loan on the closing date. Approximately 100% of the membership interest in Hampton Partners is owned by WRF.

The Trail II mezzanine loan matures on June 29, 2016, with no option to extend and pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity. Under the terms of a purchase option agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, the Company has an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property between and including April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014 for $17,825,600, which is the amount of the aggregate project costs as set forth in the approved construction budget on the closing date. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before July 1, 2014, the Company will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide it with a 14% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party on or after July 1, 2014, then the Company will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide it with a 12% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. The calculation of the cumulative internal rate of return will include the loan’s fees received at closing. Since the minimum exit fee, assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 12% cumulative internal rate of return, the Company will accrue each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 12% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end as the borrower cannot control whether the option is exercised. The accrued exit fee will be recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, any accrued and unpaid exit fee will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The Trail II mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Hampton Partners. Partial prepayment of the mezzanine loan is not permitted without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $10 million that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, both unaffiliated third parties, have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. This guaranty is subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement with the senior lender.

In connection with the closing of the Trail II mezzanine loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $120,000, and a loan commitment fee of $14,333. The Company paid an acquisition fee of $60,000 to its Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The Company recorded interest income and other revenue from these transactions as follows:

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 fall under the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, and require further evaluation as to whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and necessitate consolidation. The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each 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, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the project. If the Company is 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 treatment would be required.

The Company's three real estate loans partially finance the development activities of the Iris, Oxford Summit II, and Hampton Partners legal entities. Each of these entities, according to the Company's analysis, are deemed to be variable interest entities, or VIEs, due to the sufficiency of investment at risk, as well as the existence of exclusive, although limited, purchase options on the Trail II and Summit II loans. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any of these three entities, and it does not exercise control by directing the activities that most significantly impact the entities' financial performance. Therefore, the Company has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their carrying value of approximately $14.9 million.

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk that could be considered significant with regard to all of its real estate loans and one note receivable, as identified specifically by the two named principals of the borrowers listed here and in note 5. These loans and notes total approximately $15.6 million and in the event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers, 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, guaranties of loan repayment, and project completion performance guaranties.

The borrowers and guarantors behind these real estate loans and the Oxford note described in note 5 collectively qualify as a major customer as defined in ASC 280-10-50. The Company recorded revenue from transactions with this major customer for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 of $333,615 and $472,613, respectively.

5.    Notes Receivable

On March 26, 2012, the Company made a loan in the amount of $650,000 to Oxford Properties, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, or Oxford, in the form of a promissory note. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum and interest only payments are due beginning May 1, 2012, and continuing on a monthly basis until the maturity date of September 30, 2012. Oxford may prepay the loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The amounts payable under the terms of the loan are backed by a personal guaranty of repayment issued by W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, the principals of Oxford.

On May 21, 2012, the Company made a loan in the amount of $575,000 to Madison Retail, LLC, or Madison, a Georgia limited liability company and unaffiliated third party, in the form of a promissory note. The amount drawn by Madison as of June 30, 2012 was $255,290. The loan bears interest at 15% per annum and interest only payments are due beginning June 1, 2012, and continuing on a monthly basis until the maturity date of September 30, 2012. Madison may prepay the loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty. The amounts payable under the terms of the loan are backed by a personal guaranty of repayment issued by Stephen H. Whisenant, the principal of Madison.

For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded interest income on these notes of $28,039 and $29,642, respectively.

6. Redeemable Preferred Stock

On November 18, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604) for our offering of up to a maximum of 150,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock. Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock will begin accruing on the date of issuance. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning two years following the date of issue subject to a 10% redemption fee. After year three the redemption fee decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion, excluding limited holder death rights which expire two years after the applicable issuance date. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had issued 10,018 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million from the Unit offering. The Preferred Stock 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. The number of Units issued was approximately 6.7% of the maximum 150,000 Units available to be issued, and consequently, at June 30, 2012, the Company cumulatively recognized approximately 6.7%, or $142,485 of the incurred offering costs related to the Unit offering as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2012, aggregate offering costs totaled approximately $2.2 million, of which approximately $2.1 million is still reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as deferred offering costs. The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs will likewise be recognized in the proportion of the number of Units issued to the maximum number of Units available to be issued, subject to a cap of 1.5% of the total proceeds from the Unit offering, which is the maximum amount of offering expenses for which its Manager will be reimbursed.

The third amended and restated management agreement, or Management Agreement, between the Company and its Manager entitles the Manager to receive compensation for various services it performs related to acquiring and managing properties on the Company's behalf:

		Three months ended				Six months ended
Type of Compensation	Basis of Compensation	June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011		June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011
Acquisition fees	1% of the gross purchase price of real estate assets acquired or loans advanced	$	89,715	$	928,500	$	89,715	$	928,500
Asset management fees	Monthly fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total value of assets, as adjusted	133,499		107,727		261,391		107,727
Property management fees	Monthly fee equal to 4% of the monthly gross revenues of the properties managed	100,494		75,053		200,507		75,053
General and administrative expense fees	Monthly fee equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company	54,922		37,539		107,585		37,539
		$	378,630	$	1,148,819	$	659,198	$	1,148,819

In addition to property management fees, the Company incurred reimbursable on-site personnel salary and related benefits expenses at the properties as follows:

Three months ended				Six months ended
June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011		June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011
$	238,857	$	180,056	$	491,478	$	180,056

The Company’s Manager utilizes certain personnel of its affiliates to accomplish certain tasks related to raising capital, including, but not limited to, legal and marketing functions. As permitted under the Management Agreement, the Manager has requested reimbursement of $43,747 and $76,871 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, respectively. These costs are recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the Unit offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity.

In addition to the fees described above, the Management Agreement also entitles the Manager to other potential fees, as follows:

• Disposition fees - Based on the lesser of (A) one-half of the commission that would be reasonable and customary; and (B) 1% of the sale price of the asset

• Construction, development, and landscaping fees - Customary and competitive market rates in light of the size, type and location of the asset

• Special limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership - distributions from the Operating Partnership equal to 15% of any net proceeds from the sale of an asset and prior operations that are remaining after the payment of (i) the capital and expenses allocable to all realized investments (including the sold asset), and (ii) a 7% priority annual return on such capital and expense; provided that all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock have been paid in full

The Company did not incur any of these other potential fees during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012.

June 30, 2012    

(unaudited)

On April 5, 2011, the Company granted a total of 26,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to its non-employee board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The Company records the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. The fair value per share was deemed to be $10.00 per share (the IPO offering price) by Board resolution. Compensation cost in the amount of $260,000 was recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the first anniversary of the grant date and all 26,000 shares vested on April 5, 2012. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $2,849 and $66,867. For both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, stock compensation expense for these grants was $61,973.

On May 10, 2012, the Company granted a total of 33,046 shares of restricted Common Stock to its non-employee board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The per-share fair value was $7.83 and total compensation cost in the amount of $258,750 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the earlier of first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense was $43,333 for these grants. Unrecognized compensation expense was $215,417 and all 33,046 unvested shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

Directors’ Stock Grants

On February 2, 2012, the Company granted 2,988 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $6.12, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,287 was recorded in full at the grant date.

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted 1,872 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $9.62, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,009 was recorded in full at the grant date.

Class B Units

On December 30, 2011, pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, the Company granted 107,164 Class B Units, representing ownership interests in the Operating Partnership, to certain of its executive officers as compensation for service in 2011. On January 3, 2012, the Company granted 106,988 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2012.

The Class B Units become Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which is one year from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase of at least $650,000, the Vested Class B Units become Earned Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, which are henceforth entitled to distributions from the Operating Partnership and become exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company 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 $650,000. 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 determining the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the total fair value, which will be amortized as compensation expense over the one-year period beginning on the grant date through the Initial Valuation Date. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $239,845 and $477,120 for these awards. Unrecognized compensation expense for these awards was $478,718 and all unvested Class B Units were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

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

	2011			2012
Grant dates	12/30/2011			1/3/2012
Stock price	$	5.98		$	6.05
Dividend yield	8.7		%	8.6		%
Expected volatility	35.29		%	35.23		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.73		%	2.83		%
Derived service period (years)	1.0			1.0

100% vesting	$	4.46		$	4.47
Total fair value of Units	$	479,559		$	479,841

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s closing price of its Common Stock on the grant date and its projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.13 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and is the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 years yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.

Since the likelihood of attainment of the market condition for the Class B Units to become earned is believed to be high and the vesting period is one year, the forfeiture rate assumption for these Class B Units was set to 0%.

Since the Class B Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.

Warrant

On March 31, 2011, as partial compensation for services rendered for the IPO, the Company issued to International Assets Advisory, LLC, or IAA, a warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price is $12.50 per share, which is 125% of the gross IPO price of $10.00 per share. The warrant is currently exercisable and expires on March 31, 2015. The Company calculated the per-share fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes method. The underlying valuation assumptions were:

Dividend yield                5.0%

Expected volatility            62.69%

Risk-free interest rate            1.765%

Expected option term (years)        4

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s gross IPO price per share of $10.00 and its then-projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.125 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was

derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the treasury constant maturities nominal yield table obtained from the Federal Reserve, interpolated between the three-year and five-year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on March 31, 2011.

The expected term assumption of 4 years was equal to the contractual term of the instrument. The fair value of the warrant was calculated to be $462,330 ($3.08 per share) and, since all service conditions had been met as of the date of issuance, was recorded in full at March 31, 2011 as an increase in the deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet and an increase in additional paid-in capital. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were removed from the consolidated balance sheet and charged against stockholders’ equity.

The warrant is exercisable, at IAA’s option, in whole or in part, by either payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares exercised, plus applicable transfer taxes, or by a cashless net share settlement. Upon exercise of the warrant, shares of Common Stock will be issued from authorized but unissued Common Stock.

11. Debt

Note Payable

On September 2, 2010, the Company borrowed $465,050 from WOF through the issuance of a promissory note. The note had an interest rate of 4.25% per annum and had a maturity date of April 30, 2011. The proceeds were used to reimburse for organizational, offering, acquisition and due diligence expenses. On April 5, 2011, the Company paid off this note in conjunction with the closing of the IPO and the private placement with WOF. The Company incurred interest on this note of $217 and $5,090 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Mortgage Notes Payable

The Company partially financed the acquisitions of Stone Rise, Summit Crossing and Trail Creek with non-recourse mortgage notes collateralized only by the associated real estate assets for each community with no cross-collateralization of any of our other properties. Each mortgage requires payments of interest only from the dates of closing through May 1, 2014, then principal and interest are due on a 30-year amortization schedule through May 1, 2018, the date of maturity of each instrument. Interest expense on the mortgages for the three acquired properties was:

		Principal balance			Three months ended				Six months ended
	Acquisition date	as of June 30, 2012		Interest rate	June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011		June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011

In addition, the Company recorded amortization of deferred loan costs related to these mortgages of $21,493 and $42,986 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and $21,541 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. The interest expense and deferred loan cost amortization for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 began with the closing dates of the acquisition of the three multifamily properties and so do not reflect a full quarter of activity.

Variable monthly interest rates are capped at 7.25% and 6.85% for Stone Rise and Trail Creek, respectively. LIBOR was 0.245% on June 30, 2012. Based upon this current rate, the Company’s estimated future principal payments due on its debt instruments as of June 30, 2012 were:

Period	Future principal payments
Remainder of 2012	$	—
2013	—
2014	606,151
2015	1,068,728
2016	1,107,350
thereafter	52,854,771
Total	$	55,637,000

12. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year beginning January 1, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes after this effective date. For the period preceding this election date, the Company's operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status, therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate for the period ended June 30, 2012.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is not currently subject to any known material commitments or contingencies from its business operations, nor any material known or threatened litigation.

14.    Segment Information

The Company evaluates the performance of its business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across two distinct segments: multifamily communities and real estate related financing.

Multifamily Communities - consists of owned residential multifamily communities.

Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of mezzanine loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets.

The primary financial operating measure utilized internally by the Company's chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO. The Company defines and calculates AFFO as:

Net income/loss, excluding the effects of:

• impairment charges on and gains/losses from sales of depreciable property;

• depreciation and amortization charges;

• acquisition costs;

21

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

June 30, 2012    

(unaudited)

• organization costs;

• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• amortization of loan closing costs;

• REIT establishment costs;

• net loan origination fees received;

• non-cash mezzanine loan interest income; and

• normally recurring capital expenditures

The Company's reported AFFO results are not generally comparable to those reported by other companies. Investors are cautioned that AFFO is a non-GAAP measure which excludes acquisition costs which are generally recorded in the periods in which the properties are acquired (and often preceding periods). The CODM utilizes AFFO to gauge the results of the operating performance of the Company's portfolio of real estate-related assets. As a widely accepted industry financial measure, the Company believes AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of its operating performance and is useful in comparing its operating performance with other real estate companies that are not as involved in ongoing acquisition activities. AFFO is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which the Company believes to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.

The following table presents the Company's AFFO results by reportable segment. The amounts on the line entitled 'Other' consist of expense attributable to equity compensation awards, asset management fees and general and administrative expense fees incurred at the Operating Partnership level, professional fees, and other miscellaneous costs not allocable to either reportable segment. Assets by reporting segment are not reviewed by, nor reported to, the CODM and are therefore not presented.

(A) The Company’s issuances totaling 10,018 shares of Preferred Stock which accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6.0% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly.

(B) The Company's unvested restricted share awards (33,046 and 26,000 shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company has incurred net losses to date, the cumulative dividends declared as of June 30, 2012 are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock since the unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities.

(C) Potential dilution from 150,000 shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding due to the hypothetical exercise of a warrant issued by the Company on March 31, 2011, as well as a total of 214,152 unvested Class B Units issued on December 30, 2011 and January 3, 2012 were both excluded from the diluted shares calculation because the effect was antidilutive.

Since the Company commenced operations with its IPO on April 5, 2011, pro forma adjustments have been made to corporate general and administrative expenses for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what historical performance would have been had these business combinations been effective January 1, 2011, nor should they be interpreted as expectations of future results.

17. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following tables provide estimated fair values based upon unobservable (Level 3) assumption inputs of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include mortgage notes collateralized only by the Company’s three acquired apartment communities and its real estate loans and bridge loan assets:

The fair value of the real estate loans 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. For the Summit and Trail loans, the fair values also contain separately-calculated estimates of the fair value of the Company’s purchase options on the to-be-developed properties. These estimates were developed utilizing internal estimates of the properties' net operating income once stabilized and internal estimates of projected capitalization rates at the midpoint of the Company’s option windows. These factors were used to estimate the future fair market value of the stabilized property. The difference between this result and the Company’s purchase price per the option was discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

The fair values of the Company’s two variable rate mortgages are believed to approximate their carrying values, as long as market interest rates remain below the levels of the interest rate caps in place on these two notes. The fair value of the fixed rate mortgage on the Company’s Summit Crossing property was developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for seven year notes as of the reporting date. Consideration is taken of the current margin rates and spreads relative to the interest rate caps in performing this analysis. The present value of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the Summit mortgage 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 mortgage.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Significant Developments

On May 7, 2012, we made a mezzanine loan of approximately $6.1 million to Oxford Summit Apartments II LLC, or Oxford Summit II, a Georgia limited liability company and a related party, to partially finance the construction of a 140-unit multifamily townhome community located adjacent to our existing Summit Crossing multifamily community in metro Atlanta, Georgia. We also received an option to purchase the property for a period of four months following completion of construction, lease up and stabilization for $19,254,155. The loan pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum and matures on May 8, 2017. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before or after the option period, we will be entitled to receive a breakup fee equal to the amount required to provide us with a 14% simple interest return on the loan, in addition to loan fees received at closing, which totaled 2% of the loan amount.

On June 29, 2012, we made a real estate acquisition bridge loan in the amount of $2,868,471 to Iris Crosstown Apartments LLC, or Iris, a Georgia limited liability company, to acquire a parcel of land located in suburban Tampa, Florida, upon which a multifamily community is to be constructed. The bridge loan matures on December 31, 2012, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. If Iris sells the property to a third party or refinances the bridge loan at any time during its term, we will be entitled to an additional 6.0% exit fee.

As of June 30, 2012, we had cumulatively issued 10,018 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million from our continuous public offering of a minimum of 2,000 and a maximum of 150,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our series A redeemable preferred stock, or Preferred Stock, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase 20 shares of our common stock, par value $.01 per share, or Common Stock. The Unit offering is discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We declare and pay monthly cash dividend distributions on the outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock, in the amount of $5.00 per share, prorated for partial months at issuance as necessary. We declared and paid dividends on these shares totaling $36,892 through June 30, 2012 and an additional $42,793 which was paid on July 20, 2012.

On May 10, 2012, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.13 per share. The dividend totaled $677,476 and was paid on July 16, 2012 to all holders of Common Stock of record as of June 29, 2012.

For the three-month period endedJune 30, 2012, we recorded Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders, or AFFO, of $830,980. Net cash provided by operating activities was $869,992 for the same period and was more than sufficient to fund our second quarter dividend distributions on our Preferred Stock and our Common Stock.

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.

Overview

We are an externally managed Maryland corporation incorporated on September 18, 2009 formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As a secondary strategy, we also may acquire senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 10% of our total assets in other real estate related investments, as determined by our manager as appropriate for us. We collectively refer to these asset classes as our target assets. Our manager is Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or our Manager.

In addition, while we currently do not anticipate investing in unimproved property, developing new construction properties or acquiring new construction, as part of our property acquisition strategy we plan to consider forward purchase contracts on, or options to purchase, to-be-built multifamily assets with appropriate provisions that may include minimum occupancy, income thresholds, due diligence requirements and, if necessary or appropriate, financing. In connection with entering into a forward purchase contract or purchase option, we may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the construction of these properties.

We expect to seek to generate returns for our stockholders by taking advantage of the current environment in the real estate market and the United States economy by acquiring multifamily assets in our targeted markets.  The current economic environment still provides many challenges for new development, which provides opportunity for current multifamily product to potentially enjoy stable occupancy rates and rising rental rates as the overall economy continues to grow.  As the real estate market and economy stabilize, we intend to employ efficient management techniques to grow income and create asset value.

As market conditions change over time, we intend to adjust our investment strategy to adapt to such changes as appropriate.

27

We continue to believe there are abundant opportunities among our target assets that currently present attractive risk-return profiles. However, in order to capitalize on the investment opportunities that may be present in the various other points of an economic cycle, we may expand or change our investment strategy and target assets. We believe that the diversification of the portfolio of assets that we intend to acquire, our ability to acquire and manage our target assets, and the flexibility of our strategy will position us to generate attractive total returns for our stockholders in a variety of market conditions.

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") effective with our tax year ended December 31, 2011. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our status as a REIT and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. We will conduct substantially all of our operations through Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or our Operating Partnership, in which we owned an approximate 100% interest as of June 30, 2012.

We commenced revenue-generating operations in April 2011.

Industry Outlook

We believe gradual, albeit potentially sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will occur over the coming quarters, which should eventually translate into more stable job growth and improvements in consumer confidence.  We believe a growing economy, improved job market and increased consumer confidence should help sustain the current upward momentum in the multifamily sector.  We expect current occupancy rates to generally remain stable, on an annual basis, as net absorption of available unit inventory and the new product coming on-line continues over the near term.  The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing, is currently below historical levels due to a difficult construction financing environment, which, we believe, should help to keep occupancies stable. 

Historically low U.S. Treasury yields and competitive lender spreads have created a favorable borrowing environment for multifamily owners.  Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, investors have been willing to accept lower yields on U.S. Government backed securities, providing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae with excellent access to investor capital.  We expect the market to continue to remain favorable for borrowing as the equity and debt markets continue to view the U.S. multifamily sector as a desirable investment.  We expect the supply of multifamily housing units to eventually grow as market rent increases overcome financing, commodity, and other cost challenges, boosting revenue projections and making more construction projects viable for builders and developers.

We believe the combination of a more sustainable current and future lending approach from the banking industry, coupled with continued hesitance and reluctance among prospective homebuyers concerning the net benefits of home ownership versus renting will continue to work in the multifamily sector's favor, resulting in gradual increases in market rents, lower concessions, and opportunities for increases in ancillary fee income.  In addition, we believe immigration rates to the U.S. may be lower than in recent years, driven by fewer available jobs due to the economic downturn and legislation in place in certain states aiming to curb illegal immigration.  As new residents of the U.S. are believed to be primarily renters rather than home buyers, we expect a marginal softening of market conditions due to this factor.  More than offsetting this effect, we believe, will be a firming effect on market conditions by the ongoing migration of the domestic echo-boomer generation into the workforce, resulting in a net increase in demand for 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 40 years for buildings, 5 to 10 years for building and land improvements and 5 to 10 years for computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Third-party acquisition costs are generally be expensed as incurred. Repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs are charged to expense as incurred and significant replacements and betterments are

28

capitalized and depreciated over the items' estimated useful lives. Repairs, maintenance and resident turnover costs include all costs that do not extend the useful life of the real estate property. We consider the period of future benefit of an asset to determine its appropriate useful life.

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation. We generally record the acquisition of income-producing real estate as a business combination. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values. Acquisition costs generally are expensed as incurred and restructuring costs that do not meet the definition of a liability at the acquisition date are expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date. In addition, changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period are recorded to income tax expense.

We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

We record above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties based on the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining average non-cancelable term of the leases. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases.

Intangible assets include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. These estimates include estimated carrying costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods. Acquired in-place lease value are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases.

Estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities require 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 inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income.

Impairment of Real Estate, Loans and Related Intangible Assets. We monitor events and changes in circumstances that could indicate that the carrying amounts of our real estate, loans and related intangible assets may not be recoverable or realized. When conditions suggest that our tangible and intangible assets may be impaired, we compare their carrying value to their estimated undiscounted future cash flows, including proceeds from their eventual disposition. If, based on this analysis, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of our tangible and intangible assets, we record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate and related intangible assets. 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 inappropriate assumptions would result in an incorrect valuation of the assets which would 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 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 treatment 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

29

arrangement and utilize these same assumptions and judgments for consideration of whether the loan qualifies for accounting as a loan or as an investment in a real estate development project.

Rents and Other Receivables

We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are written off when we deem the amounts to be uncollectible.

Revenue Recognition

We expect to lease apartment units under operating leases with terms generally of thirteen months or less. Rental revenue, net of concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material.

We recognize gains on sales of real estate either in total or deferred for a period of time, depending on whether a sale has been consummated, the extent of the buyer’s investment in the property being sold, whether our receivable, if any, is subject to future subordination, and the degree of our continuing involvement with the property after the sale, if any. If the criteria for profit recognition under the full-accrual method are not met, we defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the reduced profit, deposit, installment or cost recovery method, as appropriate, until the appropriate criteria are met.

Other income, including interest earned on our cash, is recognized as it is earned. We recognize interest income on real estate loans on an accrual basis over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs, is amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest income. We stop accruing interest on loans when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest of the loan, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Interest accrual on real estate loan investments is resumed once interest and principal payments become current.

Promotional fees received from service providers at our properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

Income Taxes

We elected to be taxed as a REIT, under the Code effective with our tax year ended December 31, 2011. We had no taxable income prior to that date. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain and which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent we distribute qualifying dividends to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we intend to operate in such a manner as to maintain our election for treatment as a REIT.

Equity Compensation

We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments such as warrants and stock options based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. When appropriate, we will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s).

Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The substantive changes in this new guidance require the application of a premium or discount in valuing an instrument that is absent Level 1 inputs, when a market participant would apply such a factor in valuing an instrument. The guidance also enhances disclosure requirements: (i) for fair values of Level 3 assets, the valuation process used for those assets and the sensitivity of those calculations to changes in the amount of unobservable inputs; (ii) a reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use when that asset is measured at fair value in the statement of financial position; and (iii) the categorization by level within the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This new guidance removes the option of presenting elements of other comprehensive income within the statements of changes to stockholders’ equity. Instead, the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

Overview

We commenced business operations in the second quarter of 2011 with the acquisitions of the Stone Rise, Summit Crossing, and Trail Creek multifamily communities (each as defined below) on April 15, 21 and 29, 2011, respectively. Our portfolio, as of June 30, 2012, also includes two mezzanine real estate construction loans, totaling approximately $12.1 million, both with exclusive options to purchase the properties once developed, and a real estate acquisition bridge loan of approximately $2.9 million.

We recorded net losses attributable to common stockholders of approximately $314 thousand and $4.0 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

The highlights of our second quarter 2012 operating results include:

• We continue to hold no debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels. We have no cross-collateralization of our real estate assets, and have no contingent liabilities at the Company or Operating Partnership levels with regard to our secured mortgage debt on our communities or otherwise.

• Through June 30, 2012, we have cumulatively issued 10,018 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million from our continuous public offering of up to a maximum of 150,000 Units. During the second quarter, we deployed approximately $9.0 million in two real estate loans, which are discussed in detail in this "Results of Operations" section.

• Declared a quarterly dividend of $677,477, or $0.13 per share of Common Stock, which was paid on July 16, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as of June 29, 2012. On August 2, 2012, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.14 per common share, which is payable on October 15, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as of September 28, 2012. The $0.14 per share represents a 7.7% increase from the previous amount of $0.13 per share. We

31

currently expect to continue our dividend distributions on our Common Stock at the $0.14 per share level for the fourth quarter of 2012.

• Declared and paid monthly dividends on our Preferred Stock, which totaled approximately $37 thousand. Our June Preferred Stock dividend totaled approximately $43 thousand and was paid on July 20, 2012.

• AFFO for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $830,980 and cash provided by operating activities was $869,992, which was more than sufficient to fund our second quarter Common Stock and Preferred Stock dividends. See the Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders section within this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the definition of this non-GAAP measure and a reconciliation to net loss attributable to the Company, which we believe is the most comparable GAAP measure.

Acquired properties

On April 15, 2011, we acquired 100% of the membership interests in Stone Rise Apartments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Oxford Rise JV LLC), or Stone Rise, the fee-simple owner of a multifamily community located in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Real estate loans

Trail II

On June 30, 2011, we made a mezzanine loan, or Trail II, of $6.0 million to Oxford Hampton Partners LLC, or Hampton Partners, a Georgia limited liability company and a related party, to partially finance the construction of a 96-unit multifamily community located adjacent to our existing Trail Creek multifamily community in Hampton, Virginia. Hampton Partners was required to fully draw down the mezzanine loan on the closing date. Hampton Partners paid $302,300 to WRF from the proceeds of the mezzanine loan to retire an outstanding short term loan that matured on the closing date of the Trail II mezzanine loan.

The Trail II mezzanine loan matures on June 29, 2016, with no option to extend and pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest (including the exit fee) due at maturity. Under the terms of a purchase option agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, we have an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property between and including April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014 for $17,825,600, which is the amount of the aggregate project costs as set forth in the approved construction budget on the closing date. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before July 1, 2014, we will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide it with a 14% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party on or after July 1, 2014, then we will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide us with a 12% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. The calculation of the cumulative internal rate of return will include the loan’s fees received at closing. Since the minimum exit fee, assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 12% cumulative internal rate of return, we will accrue each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 12% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end. The accrued exit fee will be recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2012, the Company earned approximately $64 thousand of additional exit fee income.

If we exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, any accrued and unpaid exit fee will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The Trail II mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Hampton Partners, of which WRF is an approximately 100% indirect owner. Partial prepayment of the mezzanine loan is not permitted without our consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $10 million that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, both unaffiliated third parties, have guaranteed to us the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. This guaranty is subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement with the senior lender.

In connection with the closing of the Trail II mezzanine loan, we received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $120,000, and a loan commitment fee of $14,333. We paid an acquisition fee of $60,000 to our Manager out of these funds, of which WOF

33

received $600 through its special limited liability company interest in our Manager. The net fees received by us will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

Oxford Summit II

On May 7, 2012, we made a mezzanine loan of approximately $6.1 million to Oxford Summit Apartments II LLC, or Oxford Summit II, to partially finance the construction of a 140-unit multifamily townhome community located adjacent to our existing Summit Crossing multifamily community in metro Atlanta, Georgia.

The Oxford Summit II mezzanine loan matures on May 8, 2017, with no option to extend and pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest (including the exit fee) due at maturity. Under the terms of a purchase option agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, we have an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property for a period of four months following completion of construction, lease up and stabilization for $19,254,155. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before or after the option period, we will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide us with a 14% simple interest return on the loan, in addition to loan fees received at closing, which totaled 2% of the loan amount. Since the minimum exit fee, assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 14% simple interest return, we will accrue each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 14% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end. The accrued exit fee will be recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2012, the Company earned approximately $56 thousand of additional exit fee income.

If we exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, any accrued and unpaid exit fee will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Oxford Summit II, as well as by personal guaranties of repayment by the principals of Oxford Summit II. The guaranties are to remain in effect until a certificate of occupancy is obtained for the property. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent.

In connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, we received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $122,061 and we paid an acquisition fee of $61,030 to our Manager out of these funds, of which WOF received $610 through its special limited liability company interest in our Manager. The net fees received by us will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

Iris

On June 29, 2012, we made a real estate acquisition bridge loan in the amount of $2,868,471 to Iris to acquire a parcel of land located in suburban Tampa, Florida, upon which a multifamily community is to be constructed. The bridge loan matures on December 31, 2012, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. We will receive an additional 6.0% interest as an exit fee, which will be due and payable if Iris sells the property to a third party or refinances the bridge loan at any time during its term.

Three Months and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

Revenues

We recorded total rental revenue of approximately $2.2 million, or 78.4% of total revenues for the three-month period endedJune 30, 2012, versus approximately $1.7 million, or 90.1% of total revenues for the three-month period endedJune 30, 2011. We recorded total rental revenue of approximately $4.5 million, or 81.4% of total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, versus approximately $1.7 million, or 90.1% of total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.

These increases in rental revenue were primarily due to the acquisitions of our three multifamily communities in April of 2011 and consequently, full periods of activity were not recorded for the 2011 periods. Occupancy rates and rent growth are the primary drivers of increases in rental revenue from acquired multifamily communities. At June 30, 2012, the combined properties had physical occupancy rates, including model units, of 94.5% of the total units available for rent, including model units, versus 94.6% at June 30, 2011. Despite this flat physical occupancy trend, we experienced overall property revenue growth of approximately 4.4% for the month of June 2012 as compared to the month of  June 2011.

34

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 property revenues were approximately 9.9% of total revenues for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. The increases in other property revenues for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 were primarily due to the acquisitions of the three communities in April 2011.

Interest income from our real estate loans increased substantially due to (i) recording a full quarter of interest income from our Trail II loan during the three-month period endedJune 30, 2012, and (ii) the closing on May 7, 2012 of our Oxford Summit II loan. The closing of our Iris loan on June 29, 2012 did not contribute substantively to the period's results.

In addition, we recorded $28,039 in interest income from several short term notes receivable for the three-month period endedJune 30, 2012.

Property operating and maintenance expense

We recorded expenses for the operations and maintenance of our multifamily communities of approximately $628 thousand and $437 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We recorded these same expenses of approximately $1.2 million and $437 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increases were driven by the ownership and operation of the three acquired multifamily properties for full periods in 2012 versus 2011. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are salary and benefits expense of property personnel, utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The number of employees assigned by our property manager to our three multifamily communities at June 30, 2012 is not expected to change materially over the foreseeable future. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents.

35

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 communities and the supervision of any subcontractors. These costs were approximately $100 thousand and $75 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $201 thousand and $75 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We also paid general and administrative expense fees and asset management fees to our Manager which totaled approximately $188 thousand and $145 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $369 thousand and $145 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. General and administrative expense fees are calculated as 2% of gross property revenues and asset management fees are calculated as one-twelfth of 0.5% of the total value of assets per month, as adjusted. The percentage of these costs charged is governed by the Third Amended and Restated Management Agreement with our Manager. These increases were also attributable to the ownership and operation of the three acquired multifamily communities for the full three-month and six-month periods in 2012 versus 2011.

Real estate taxes

We are liable for property taxes due to the various counties and municipalities that levy such taxes on real property for each of our three multifamily communities. The current assessed values of our communities, the estimated annual effective tax rates and expected total property taxes for 2012, as of June 30, 2012 were:

Property	Assessed Value		Expected Property Tax Rate		Expected Property Taxes, FYE 2012
Stone Rise	$	11,130,000	3.22	%	$	358,581
Summit Crossing	6,250,332		2.66	%	166,096
Trail Creek	20,795,600		1.09	%	227,399
Total	$	38,175,932	1.97	%	$	752,076

We generally expect the assessed values of our multifamily communities to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions, pressure on municipalities to raise revenues and increased activity in the transactional market. The values of the Stone Rise and Trail Creek communities have not yet been reassessed by the municipalities from 2011. However, we have some insurance against any potential rise in assessments at Stone Rise because its assessed value is frozen through 2015, unless there is a county wide reassessment. Summit Crossing's 2012 tax valuation was increased by the municipality in which it resides during the second quarter to $6,250,332, an increase of 8.45%. 

Depreciation and amortization

We recorded expenses for depreciation and amortization of tangible and identifiable intangible assets of approximately $917 thousand and $2.8 million for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $1.9 million and $2.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The 2011 three-month and six-month periods both included amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $2.0 million. These assets were amortized in full during 2011 and there were no such expenses for the 2012 periods.

Acquisition costs

We recorded acquisition costs for our three multifamily communities of approximately $1.4 million and $1.7 million for the three-month and six-month periods June 30, 2011. The costs in the 2011 periods were primarily related to due diligence, purchase negotiation, appraisals, and other costs related to the three acquired multifamily communities, which were all acquired in April 2011.

36

Professional fees

We recorded professional fee expenses of approximately $87 thousand and $187 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $170 thousand and $232 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These costs consist principally of fees for audit, tax and legal work performed and the decreases were due to higher accounting and legal costs incurred in the 2011 periods related to audits of our initial financial statements as a publicly held company and fees for tax consulting services.

Interest expense

We recorded interest expense of approximately $536 thousand and $419 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $1.1 million and $435 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest expense on mortgage indebtedness from the three acquired communities was approximately $514 thousand and $396 thousand and amortization of deferred loan costs on the mortgage indebtedness was approximately $21 thousand for both the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Interest expense on mortgage indebtedness from the three acquired communities was approximately $1.0 million and $396 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred loan costs on the mortgage indebtedness was approximately $43 thousand and $22 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The increases in interest expense for the 2012 periods were due to the acquisitions of the three multifamily properties in April of 2011 and consequently, less than full periods of interest were accrued and paid for the corresponding 2011 period. Interest expense for the prior year periods also included a nominal amounts of interest on the note payable and on the two lines of credit due to WOF, all of which were paid and retired in April 2011 with proceeds from the IPO.

Equity compensation to directors and executives

We recorded amortization expense related to equity compensation to our directors and executives of approximately $286 thousand and $80 thousand for the three-month periods endedJune 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and approximately $606 thousand and $80 thousand for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The primary factor driving these increases in the 2012 periods was the inclusion of amortization expense for the 2012 and 2011 Class B Unit awards to our four principal executives of approximately $240 thousand and $477 thousand for the three-month and six-month 2012 periods, respectively. Amortization of our annual restricted stock awards to our independent directors was approximately $46 thousand and $110 thousand for the three-month and six-month 2012 periods, respectively. The three-month and six-month 2011 periods included amortization of our annual restricted stock awards to our independent directors of approximately $62 thousand and the expense related to stock granted to our independent board members as compensation for service on board committees of approximately $18 thousand. No equity compensation awards were issued prior to March 31, 2011.

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

Analysts, managers, and investors have, since the first real estate investment trusts were created, made certain adjustments to reported net income amounts under U.S. GAAP in order to better assess these vehicles’ liquidity and cash flows. FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations”, which was revised in 2004,the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability. The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one we report) is:

Net income/loss:

• Excluding impairment charges on and gains/losses from sales of depreciable property;

• Plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets; and

• After adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures

Not all companies necessarily utilize the standardized NAREIT definition of FFO, and so caution should be taken in comparing our reported FFO results to those of other companies. Our FFO results are comparable to the FFO results of other companies that follow the NAREIT definition of FFO and report these figures on that basis. We believe FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating results. FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, which the Company believes to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.

37

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

AFFO makes further adjustments to FFO results in order to arrive at a more refined measure of operating and financial performance. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. We calculate AFFO as:

FFO, plus:

• Acquisition costs;

• Organization costs;

• Non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• Amortization of loan closing costs;

• REIT establishment costs;

• Depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets; and

• Net loan origination fees received;

Less:

• Non-cash mezzanine loan interest income; and

• Normally recurring capital expenditures

AFFO figures reported by us are not generally comparable to those reported by other companies. Investors are cautioned that AFFO excludes acquisition costs which are generally recorded in the periods in which the properties are acquired (and often preceding periods). We utilize AFFO to gauge the results of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operatingperformance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies that are not as involved in ongoing acquisition activities. AFFO is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which we believe to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-Term Liquidity

We believe our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund:

• operating expenses directly related to our portfolio of multifamily communities (including regular maintenance items);

• capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities;

• interest expense on our outstanding property level debt;

• monthly distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders; and

• quarterly distributions that we pay to our common stockholders.

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 was approximately $1.8 million and net cash used in operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 was approximately $820 thousand. We had net cash used in operating activities in the prior comparable period, rather than net cash provided by operating activities, since we commenced business operations following our IPO in the second quarter of 2011 and also incurred approximately $1.7

39

million of acquisition costs in that period. The net cash provided by operating activities in the 2012 period reflects a full period of operational results from our multifamily communities, interest income from our real estate loans and an immaterial amount of acquisition costs.

The majority of our revenue is derived from residents under existing leases at our multifamily communities. Therefore, our operating cash flow is principally dependent on: (1) the number of multifamily communities in our portfolio; (2) rental rates; (3) occupancy rates; (4) operating expenses associated with these multifamily communities; and (5) the ability of our residents to make their rental payments. We believe we are well positioned to take advantage of the recent improvements in multifamily fundamentals, such as higher occupancy rates, positive new and renewal rates over expiring leases, a declining home ownership rate and a decline in turnover, which we believe are all positive developments in the multifamily industry.

We also earn interest revenue from the issuance of real estate-related loans and may receive fees at the inception of these loans for originating them and setting aside funds to procure them. Interest revenue we record on these loans is influenced by (1) market interest rates on similar loans; (2) the availability of credit from alternative financing sources; (3) the desire of borrowers to finance new real estate projects; and (4) unique characteristics attached to these loans, such as exclusive purchase options.

Our net cash used in investing activities was approximately $10.1 million and $93.3 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The 2012 period included disbursements for the Summit II and Iris loans of approximately $8.9 million and the issuance of our two other promissory notes totaling approximately $905 thousand. During the 2011 period, we disbursed approximately $87.4 million to acquire our three multifamily properties and $6.0 million for the Trail II real estate loan.

Cash used in or provided by investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of other real estate and real estate-related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We have no current plans to dispose of any of our properties and will seek to acquire more properties at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with an acquisition are funded from the capital source(s) for the acquisition and are not dependent upon subsequent property operational cash flows for funding.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, our capital expenditures were:

	Summit		Trail		Rise		Total
Nonrecurring capital expenditures:
Budgeted at property acquisition	$	4,993	$	160,552	$	4,788	$	170,333
Other nonrecurring capital expenditures	—		5,850		1,166		7,016
Total nonrecurring capital expenditures	4,993		166,402		5,954		177,349
Normally recurring capital expenditures	37,374		42,065		30,330		109,769
Total capital expenditures	$	42,367	$	208,467	$	36,284	$	287,118

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $6.6 million and $99.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. During the 2012 period, we received net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million from the issuance of 10,018 Units. Partially offsetting this cash inflow were the payments of our Preferred Stock and Common Stock dividends totaling approximately $1.4 million and of deferred offering costs of approximately $1.1 million. The financing cash inflows during the 2011 period consisted primarily of proceeds from sales of Common Stock of approximately $46.1 million and proceeds from mortgage notes payable on our three acquired multifamily properties of approximately $55.6 million.

Distributions

In order to obtain and maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number

40

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 to stockholders, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Preferred Stock, through net cash generated from operating results.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, our Common Stock dividend and cash-generating activity was:

Three-month period ended	Dividend per share of Common Stock		Dividends declared		Cash flow from operations
3/31/2011	$	—	$	—	$	(122,686	)
6/30/2011	$	0.125	$	646,487	$	(697,122	)
3/31/2012	$	0.13	$	673,181	$	927,394
6/30/2012	$	0.13	$	677,477	$	869,992

We commenced business operations on April 5, 2011 and acquired three multifamily communities and a real estate loan during the second quarter of 2011. As shown above, our cash flow used in operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 was $697,122, as our business operations did not span the entire period. Our cash flow from operations for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012 was $869,992, which was sufficient to fund both our quarterly Common Stock dividend and our Preferred Stock dividends for the quarter.

On February 2, 2012, our board of directors approved, and we declared, a quarterly Common Stock dividend of $0.13 per share, a 4% increase from the previous quarter. The dividend totaled $673,181 and was paid on April 16, 2012 to stockholders of record on March 30, 2012.

On May 10, 2012, our board of directors approved, and we declared, a quarterly Common Stock dividend of $0.13 per share. The dividend totaled $677,477 and was paid on July 16, 2012 to all holders of Common Stock of record as of June 29, 2012.

On August 2, 2012, we declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.14 per share, an increase of 7.7% from the previous quarter. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2012 to all holders of Common Stock of record as of September 28, 2012. For the remainder of 2012, we currently expect to maintain a quarterly dividend payment to holders of our Common Stock of $0.14 per share. Our board of directors will review the Common Stock dividend quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.

In addition to $718 of accrued dividends payable for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012, our Preferred Stock dividend activity consisted of:

	Declaration date	Record date	Payment date	Dividend distributions		(1)
	4/13/2012	4/30/2012	5/21/2012	$	11,486
	5/10/2012	5/31/2012	6/20/2012	25,406
	6/22/2012	6/29/2012	7/20/2012	42,793
				$	79,685
(1)	The Preferred Stock receives dividend distributions of $5.00 per share for each full month and, for shares outstanding for less than a full month, an amount based on such monthly rate.

Our board of directors will review the Preferred Stock dividend monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Preferred Stock dividends will consistently

41

be paid in cash. Dividends may be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. We expect the aggregate dollar amount of monthly Preferred Stock dividend payments to increase on a generally linear path at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new Units from our Unit offering.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

We believe our principal long-term liquidity needs are to fund:

• the principal amount of our long-term debt as it becomes due or matures;

• capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities;

• costs associated with future capital raising activities;

• costs to acquire additional multifamily communities and enter into lending opportunities; and

• our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status.

We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our Unit offering (described below), Common Stock, preferred stock, 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 Unit offering during 2012 and beyond. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.

On November 18, 2011, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604), or the Registration Statement, for our offering of up to a maximum of 150,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock and are immediately separable and will be issued separately. The price per Unit is $1,000. The Preferred Stock will rank senior to the Common Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of amounts upon liquidation, dissolution and winding up. Holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of legally available funds, cumulative cash dividends on each share of Preferred Stock at an annual rate of six percent (6%) of the Stated Value, which is $1,000. Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock will begin accruing on the date of issuance. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning two years following the date of issuance, subject to a 10% redemption fee. After year three the redemption fee decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redemptions are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2012, we had issued an aggregate of 10,018 Units from our Unit offering, leaving 139,982 Units available to be issued.

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), although we had no such programs in place and committed to us at June 30, 2012. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage in making our investments in multifamily communities. The number of different multifamily communities 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. See the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Item 1.A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more information about the risks related to operating on a leveraged basis.

We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loan investments, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis based on fair market value. As of June 30, 2012, our outstanding debt (all of which is secured) was approximately 46.8% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our current estimate of fair market value. 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

42

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. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the cost of investment 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. In addition, we have acquired, and we intend to acquire, all of our multifamily communities through separate single purpose entities and we have financed, and we intend to finance, each of these multifamily communities using financing techniques for that property alone without any cross-collateralization to our other multifamily communities or guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels.

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 in 2011), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.

If we are unable to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all, we may have to curtail our investment activities, including acquisitions and improvements to real properties, which could limit our growth prospects. This, in turn, could reduce cash available for distribution to our stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more securities or borrowing more money. We may be forced to dispose of assets at inopportune times in order to maintain our REIT qualification and Investment Company Act exemption. Our ability to generate cash from asset sales is limited by market conditions and certain rules applicable to REITs. We may not be able to sell a property or properties as quickly as we would like or on terms as favorable as we would like.

Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher interest rates upon 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, 2012, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $55.6 million, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition of our three multifamily communities in 2011. The outstanding balance includes fixed-rate debt of approximately $20.9 million, or 37.5% of the total debt balance, and floating-rate debt of approximately $34.8 million, or 62.5% of the total debt balance.

As of June 30, 2012, we had approximately $2.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2012, we held approximately $1.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as a working capital and dividend reserve and approximately $223 thousand for planned capital expenditures that were identified at acquisition for our acquired multifamily communities. The remaining balance of approximately $0.8 million was available for general operating purposes.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2012, we had an outstanding warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of our Common Stock, or the IPO Warrant, to International Assets Advisory, LLC, or IAA, for financial advisory services performed in connection with our IPO. The IPO Warrant was issued on March 31, 2011. If IAA exercises the IPO Warrant, the purchase price for each share is $12.50 per share and expires on March 31, 2015. Neither the IPO Warrant nor the underlying shares of Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the IPO Warrant were or will be registered. Under certain circumstances, the IPO Warrant also may be exercised on a ‘‘cashless’’ basis, which allows IAA to elect to pay the exercise price by surrendering the IPO Warrant for that number of shares of our Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of our Common Stock underlying the IPO Warrant, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the IPO Warrant and the ‘‘fair market

43

value’’ (defined below) of the Common Stock by (y) the fair market value of the Common Stock. The ‘‘fair market value’’ shall mean the average reported last sale price of our Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the date as of which the fair market value is being determined.

As of June 30, 2012, we had 10,018 outstanding Units, each containing one warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock. 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. The Warrants outstanding at June 30, 2012 become exercisable between March 30, 2013 and June 28, 2013 and have exercise prices that range between $9.00 and $9.68 per share. If all the outstanding warrants at June 30, 2012 become exercisable and are exercised, gross proceeds to us would be $1,872,687 and we would as a result issue an additional 200,360 shares of Common Stock.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2012, our contractual obligations consisted of the three mortgage notes secured by our three acquired properties. Based on the 1 Month London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, at June 30, 2012 of 0.245%, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:

	Total		Less than one year (1)		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than five years
Long-term debt obligations:
Interest	$	11,741,822	$	1,020,613	$	4,059,902	$	3,955,096	$	2,706,211
Principal	55,637,000		—		606,151		2,176,078		52,854,771
Total	$	67,378,822	$	1,020,613	$	4,666,053	$	6,131,174	$	55,560,981
(1) Represents obligations due for the remainder of 2012

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. Our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. $19.5 million of our floating-rate debt has LIBOR effectively capped at 4.48% (all-in rate of 7.25%) and approximately $15.3 million of our floating rate debt has LIBOR effectively capped at 4.05% (all-in rate of 6.85%), both through caps on the maximum interest rate on our debt under Freddie Mac's capped adjustable-rate mortgage program. We have limited market risk associated with debt maturity as all of our debt was incurred in April 2011 and does not mature until May 2018. 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; and

• take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

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, 2012, would increase by approximately $348 thousand on an annualized basis, or decrease by approximately $85 thousand 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 0.245% at June 30, 2012, therefore we have limited the estimate of how much our interest costs may decrease because we use a floor of 0% for LIBOR.

Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2012

Basis of Presentation [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2012, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

valuation acquired real estate assets [Policy Text Block]

Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets

The Company generally records its initial investments in income-producing real estate at fair value at the acquisition date, in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. Acquisition costs, which include fees and expenses for due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting services, generally will be expensed as incurred.

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.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Intangible assets include the values of in-place leases and customer relationships. In-place lease values are estimated by calculating the estimated time to fill a hypothetically empty apartment complex to its stabilization level (estimated to be 92% occupancy) based on historical observed move-in rates for each property. Carrying costs during these hypothetical expected lease-up periods are estimated, considering current market conditions and include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates. The intangible assets are calculated by estimating the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. The acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases. The values of customer relationships are estimated by calculating the product of the avoided hypothetical lost revenue and the average renewal probability and are likewise amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. Acquired intangible assets generally have no residual value.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]

The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment annually or 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, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the asset. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value versus the discounted net cash flows of the asset.

Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Loans Held for Investment

The Company records its investments in real estate loans at cost with assessments made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. Recoveries of valuation allowances are only recognized in the event of maturity or a sale or disposition in an amount above carrying value. See the ‘Revenue Recognition’ section of this note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted by state law or contractual requirement and, as of June 30, 2012, relates primarily to tax and insurance escrows and resident security deposits.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if they are deemed impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in accounting and reporting for real estate assets where appropriate, as well as debt instruments both held for investment and as liabilities. The standard requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or

indirectly.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Debt, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the related indebtedness.

deferred equity offering costs policy [Policy Text Block]

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs represent offering costs incurred by the Company related to, but prior to the effective date of pending equity offerings. For issuances of equity that occur on one specific date, associated offering costs are reclassified as a reduction of proceeds raised on the date of issue. Our ongoing offering of Units, consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Preferred Stock, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase 20 shares of Common Stock, or Units, generally closes on a monthly basis in variable amounts. Associated offering costs are reclassified to the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of proceeds raised on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of total Units issued to the maximum number of Units that may be issued.

noncontrolling interest [Policy Text Block]

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest of the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for contributions, distributions and earnings (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in the consolidated entity in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended.

Stockholders' Equity Note, Redeemable Preferred Stock, Issue, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Redeemable Preferred Stock

Shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock issued in conjunction with the Company’s Unit offering (further described in note 6) are redeemable at the option of the holder, subject to a declining redemption fee schedule. Redemptions are therefore outside the control of the Company. However, the Company retains the right to fund any redemptions of Preferred Stock in either Common Stock or cash at its option, excluding limited holder death rights which expire two years after the applicable issuance date. Therefore, the Company records Preferred Stock as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition Leases, Operating [Policy Text Block]

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents, which is over the terms of rental agreements, typically of 13 months’ duration. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are generally deemed uncollectible 30 days beyond the due date, at which point they are fully reserved.

Revenue Recognition, Interest [Policy Text Block]

Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income. The accrual of interest on all these instruments is stopped when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Real estate loan investments are reclassified as accrual-basis once interest and principal payments become current.

Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Promotional fees received from service providers at the Company’s properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

The PAC Rewards program, implemented in the first quarter of 2012, allows residents to accumulate reward points on a monthly basis for actions such as resident referrals and making rent payments online. A resident must rent a PAC apartment for at least 14 months before reward points may be redeemed for services or upgrades to a resident’s unit. The Company accrues a liability for the estimated cost of these future point redemptions, net of a 35% breakage fee, which is the Company’s current estimate of rewards points that will not be redeemed. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 13.A.3c, the Company deems its obligations under PAC Rewards as inconsequential to the delivery of services according to the lease terms. Therefore, the expense related to the PAC Rewards Program is included in property operating and maintenance expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees and ASC 718, Stock Compensation. We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments at the date of grant based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. We will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s). We record the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant.

property acquisition costs policy [Policy Text Block]

Acquisition Costs

The Company expenses property acquisition costs as incurred, which include costs such as due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Capitalization and Depreciation

The Company capitalizes replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as carpet, appliances, air conditioning units, certain common area items, and other assets. Significant repair and renovation costs that improve the usefulness or extend the useful life of the properties are also capitalized. These assets are then depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

•Buildings                    40 years

•Furniture, fixtures & equipment            5 - 10 years

•Improvements to buildings and land        5 - 10 years    

•Acquired customer intangibles            average remaining lease term

Operating expenses related to unit turnover costs, such as carpet cleaning, mini-blind replacements, and minor repairs are expensed as incurred.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. The Company intends to operate in such a manner as to maintain its election for treatment as a REIT.

Since the Company made its REIT election effective as of January 1, 2011 (See Note 12), it was subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes for the period prior to that date. The provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial statement purposes after adjustment for transactions that do not have tax consequences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized according to the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the balance sheet. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. If a valuation allowance is needed, a subsequent change in circumstances in future periods that causes a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.

Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities such as share grants or warrants. No adjustment is made for potential Common Stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive during the period.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]

Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The substantive changes in this new guidance require the application of a premium or discount in valuing an instrument that is absent Level 1 inputs, when a market participant would apply such a factor in valuing an instrument. The guidance also enhances disclosure requirements: (i) for fair values of Level 3 assets, the valuation process used for those assets and the sensitivity of those calculations to changes in the amount of unobservable inputs; (ii) a reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use when that asset is measured at fair value in the statement of financial position; and (iii) the categorization by level within the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This new guidance removes the option of presenting elements of other comprehensive income within the statements of changes to stockholders’ equity. Instead, the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

On April 15, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in Stone Rise Apartments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (f/k/a Oxford Rise JV LLC), the fee-simple owner of a 216-unit multifamily community located in suburban Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, or Stone Rise, for a total purchase price of $30.15 million, exclusive of acquisition-related and financing-related transaction costs. The membership interests in Oxford Rise JV LLC were owned by WOF.

On April 21, 2011, the Company acquired 100% of the membership interests in PAC Summit Crossing, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (f/k/a Oxford Summit Partners, LLC), the fee-simple owner of a 345-unit multifamily community located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, or Summit Crossing, for a total purchase price of $33.2 million, exclusive of acquisition-related and financing-related transaction costs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2012, presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets

The Company generally records its initial investments in income-producing real estate at fair value at the acquisition date, in accordance with ASC 805-10, Business Combinations. Acquisition costs, which include fees and expenses for due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting services, generally will be expensed as incurred.

The aggregate purchase price of acquired properties is apportioned to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities acquired at their estimated fair values. The value of acquired land, buildings and improvements is estimated by formal appraisals, observed comparable sales transactions, and information gathered during pre-acquisition due diligence activities and the valuation approach considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The values of furniture, fixtures, and equipment are estimated by calculating their replacement cost and reducing that value by factors based upon estimates of their remaining useful lives.

Intangible assets include the values of in-place leases and customer relationships. In-place lease values are estimated by calculating the estimated time to fill a hypothetically empty apartment complex to its stabilization level (estimated to be 92% occupancy) based on historical observed move-in rates for each property. Carrying costs during these hypothetical expected lease-up periods are estimated, considering current market conditions and include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates. The intangible assets are calculated by estimating the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. The acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining average non-cancelable term of the respective leases. The values of customer relationships are estimated by calculating the product of the avoided hypothetical lost revenue and the average renewal probability and are likewise amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases. Acquired intangible assets generally have no residual value.

The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment annually or 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, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the asset. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value versus the discounted net cash flows of the asset.

Loans Held for Investment

The Company records its investments in real estate loans at cost with assessments made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, a valuation allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. Recoveries of valuation allowances are only recognized in the event of maturity or a sale or disposition in an amount above carrying value. See the ‘Revenue Recognition’ section of this note for other loan-related policy disclosures required by ASC 310-10-50-6.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash includes cash restricted by state law or contractual requirement and, as of June 30, 2012, relates primarily to tax and insurance escrows and resident security deposits.

Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value, or if they are deemed impaired, to be adjusted to reflect this condition. The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in accounting and reporting for real estate assets where appropriate, as well as debt instruments both held for investment and as liabilities. The standard requires disclosure of fair values calculated under each level of inputs within the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or

indirectly.

•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Deferred Loan Costs

Deferred loan costs are amortized using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method, over the terms of the related indebtedness.

Deferred Offering Costs

Deferred offering costs represent offering costs incurred by the Company related to, but prior to the effective date of pending equity offerings. For issuances of equity that occur on one specific date, associated offering costs are reclassified as a reduction of proceeds raised on the date of issue. Our ongoing offering of Units, consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, or Preferred Stock, and one warrant, or Warrant, to purchase 20 shares of Common Stock, or Units, generally closes on a monthly basis in variable amounts. Associated offering costs are reclassified to the stockholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet as a reduction of proceeds raised on a pro-rata basis equal to the ratio of total Units issued to the maximum number of Units that may be issued.

Non-controlling Interest

Non-controlling interest represents the equity interest of the Operating Partnership that is not owned by the Company. Non-controlling interest is adjusted for contributions, distributions and earnings (loss) attributable to the non-controlling interest in the consolidated entity in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended.

Redeemable Preferred Stock

Shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock issued in conjunction with the Company’s Unit offering (further described in note 6) are redeemable at the option of the holder, subject to a declining redemption fee schedule. Redemptions are therefore outside the control of the Company. However, the Company retains the right to fund any redemptions of Preferred Stock in either Common Stock or cash at its option, excluding limited holder death rights which expire two years after the applicable issuance date. Therefore, the Company records Preferred Stock as a component of permanent stockholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents, which is over the terms of rental agreements, typically of 13 months’ duration. Differences from the straight-line method, which recognize the effect of any up-front concessions and other adjustments ratably over the lease term, are not material. The Company evaluates the collectability of amounts due from residents and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of residents to make required payments then due under lease agreements. The balance of amounts due from residents are generally deemed uncollectible 30 days beyond the due date, at which point they are fully reserved.

Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans using the effective interest method. Direct loan origination fees and origination or acquisition costs applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income. The accrual of interest on all these instruments is stopped when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest, which is generally a delinquency of 30 days in required payments of interest or principal. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as interest income when the payments are received. Real estate loan investments are reclassified as accrual-basis once interest and principal payments become current.

Promotional fees received from service providers at the Company’s properties are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.

The PAC Rewards program, implemented in the first quarter of 2012, allows residents to accumulate reward points on a monthly basis for actions such as resident referrals and making rent payments online. A resident must rent a PAC apartment for at least 14 months before reward points may be redeemed for services or upgrades to a resident’s unit. The Company accrues a liability for the estimated cost of these future point redemptions, net of a 35% breakage fee, which is the Company’s current estimate of rewards points that will not be redeemed. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 13.A.3c, the Company deems its obligations under PAC Rewards as inconsequential to the delivery of services according to the lease terms. Therefore, the expense related to the PAC Rewards Program is included in property operating and maintenance expense on the consolidated statements of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with guidance provided by ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees and ASC 718, Stock Compensation. We calculate the fair value of equity compensation instruments at the date of grant based upon estimates of their expected term, the expected volatility of and dividend yield on our Common Stock over this expected term period and the market risk-free rate of return. We will also estimate forfeitures of these instruments and accrue the compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting period(s). We record the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant.

Acquisition Costs

The Company expenses property acquisition costs as incurred, which include costs such as due diligence, legal, environmental and consulting.

Capitalization and Depreciation

The Company capitalizes replacements of furniture, fixtures and equipment, as well as carpet, appliances, air conditioning units, certain common area items, and other assets. Significant repair and renovation costs that improve the usefulness or extend the useful life of the properties are also capitalized. These assets are then depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

•Buildings                    40 years

•Furniture, fixtures & equipment            5 - 10 years

•Improvements to buildings and land        5 - 10 years    

•Acquired customer intangibles            average remaining lease term

Operating expenses related to unit turnover costs, such as carpet cleaning, mini-blind replacements, and minor repairs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income to its stockholders (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain which does not necessarily equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP). As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it distributes qualifying dividends to its stockholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates and generally will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect the Company's net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. The Company intends to operate in such a manner as to maintain its election for treatment as a REIT.

Since the Company made its REIT election effective as of January 1, 2011 (See Note 12), it was subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes for the period prior to that date. The provision for income taxes is based on income before taxes reported for financial statement purposes after adjustment for transactions that do not have tax consequences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are realized according to the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the carrying value of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates as of the date of the balance sheet. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is reflected in the period that includes the statutory enactment date. A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. If a valuation allowance is needed, a subsequent change in circumstances in future periods that causes a change in judgment about the realization of the related deferred tax amount could result in the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance.

The Company recognizes a liability for uncertain tax positions. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits recognized based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding plus potentially dilutive securities such as share grants or warrants. No adjustment is made for potential Common Stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive during the period.

Recent Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The substantive changes in this new guidance require the application of a premium or discount in valuing an instrument that is absent Level 1 inputs, when a market participant would apply such a factor in valuing an instrument. The guidance also enhances disclosure requirements: (i) for fair values of Level 3 assets, the valuation process used for those assets and the sensitivity of those calculations to changes in the amount of unobservable inputs; (ii) a reporting entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use when that asset is measured at fair value in the statement of financial position; and (iii) the categorization by level within the fair value hierarchy of items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This new guidance removes the option of presenting elements of other comprehensive income within the statements of changes to stockholders’ equity. Instead, the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income may be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with retrospective application required. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Derecognition of in Substance Real Estate – a Scope Clarification. This new standard clarifies the guidance concerning deconsolidation of a subsidiary that is in substance real estate upon the event of default of that subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. Generally, deconsolidation of a subsidiary in this circumstance is not appropriate until the collateral is legally transferred to the lender and the indebtedness is extinguished. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after June 15, 2012. Our adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block]

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature. The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following tables provide estimated fair values based upon unobservable (Level 3) assumption inputs of the Company’s other financial instruments, which include mortgage notes collateralized only by the Company’s three acquired apartment communities and its real estate loans and bridge loan assets:

Financial Liabilities:
Mortgage notes payable	$	55,637,000	$	56,728,053	$	—	$	—	$	56,728,053

The fair value of the real estate loans 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. For the Summit and Trail loans, the fair values also contain separately-calculated estimates of the fair value of the Company’s purchase options on the to-be-developed properties. These estimates were developed utilizing internal estimates of the properties' net operating income once stabilized and internal estimates of projected capitalization rates at the midpoint of the Company’s option windows. These factors were used to estimate the future fair market value of the stabilized property. The difference between this result and the Company’s purchase price per the option was discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

The fair values of the Company’s two variable rate mortgages are believed to approximate their carrying values, as long as market interest rates remain below the levels of the interest rate caps in place on these two notes. The fair value of the fixed rate mortgage on the Company’s Summit Crossing property was developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for seven year notes as of the reporting date. Consideration is taken of the current margin rates and spreads relative to the interest rate caps in performing this analysis. The present value of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the Summit mortgage 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 mortgage.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block]

Segment Information

The Company evaluates the performance of its business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across two distinct segments: multifamily communities and real estate related financing.

Multifamily Communities - consists of owned residential multifamily communities.

Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of mezzanine loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets.

The primary financial operating measure utilized internally by the Company's chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is Adjusted Funds from Operations, or AFFO. The Company defines and calculates AFFO as:

Net income/loss, excluding the effects of:

• impairment charges on and gains/losses from sales of depreciable property;

• depreciation and amortization charges;

• acquisition costs;

• organization costs;

• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• amortization of loan closing costs;

• REIT establishment costs;

• net loan origination fees received;

• non-cash mezzanine loan interest income; and

• normally recurring capital expenditures

The Company's reported AFFO results are not generally comparable to those reported by other companies. Investors are cautioned that AFFO is a non-GAAP measure which excludes acquisition costs which are generally recorded in the periods in which the properties are acquired (and often preceding periods). The CODM utilizes AFFO to gauge the results of the operating performance of the Company's portfolio of real estate-related assets. As a widely accepted industry financial measure, the Company believes AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of its operating performance and is useful in comparing its operating performance with other real estate companies that are not as involved in ongoing acquisition activities. AFFO is a useful supplement to, but not a substitute for, its closest GAAP-compliant measure, which the Company believes to be net income/loss available to common stockholders.

The following table presents the Company's AFFO results by reportable segment. The amounts on the line entitled 'Other' consist of expense attributable to equity compensation awards, asset management fees and general and administrative expense fees incurred at the Operating Partnership level, professional fees, and other miscellaneous costs not allocable to either reportable segment. Assets by reporting segment are not reviewed by, nor reported to, the CODM and are therefore not presented.

Organization

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc., or the Company, was formed as a Maryland corporation on September 18, 2009, and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of its property acquisition strategy, the Company may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and may make mezzanine loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the construction of these properties. As a secondary strategy, the Company also may acquire senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or mezzanine debt secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest not more than 10% of its total assets in other real estate related investments, as determined by its Manager (as defined below) as appropriate for the Company. The Company is externally managed and advised by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or its Manager, a Delaware limited liability company and related party (see Note 7).

On February 22, 2011, the Company effected a change in the designation of its issued and outstanding and authorized but unissued shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, and effected a change of each of its issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, all pursuant to an amendment to the Company's charter. As a result of these actions, NELL Partners, Inc. held 36,666 shares of Common Stock as of February 22, 2011. The consolidated statement of equity and accumulated deficit for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 has been retroactively restated to reflect this change.

On February 25, 2011, the Company amended its prior authorization to issue up to $75.0 million in Class A Common Stock in accordance with the change in designation of all shares of Class A Common Stock to shares of Common Stock, as described above, and, as a result, the board of directors of the Company authorized the issuance and sale of up to $75.0 million in Common Stock in an initial public offering.

The Company completed its initial public offering, or IPO, on April 5, 2011. The IPO resulted in the sale of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $10.00, generating gross proceeds of $45.0 million. The aggregate proceeds to the Company, net of underwriters' discounts and commissions and other offering costs, were approximately $39.8 million. Concurrently with the closing of the IPO, in a separate private placement pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, the Company sold 500,000 shares of its Common Stock to the Williams Opportunity Fund, LLC, or WOF, at the public offering price of $10.00 per share, for gross proceeds to the Company of $5 million. Aggregated estimated offering expenses in connection with the private placement were approximately $297,700. WOF is an affiliate of the Company and its Manager.

On May 4, 2011, in conjunction with the IPO, the Company issued and sold 107,361 shares of Common Stock at $10.00 per share pursuant to the underwriters' exercise of their over-allotment option, for gross proceeds of approximately $1.1 million. After deducting underwriters’ commissions and offering expenses, net proceeds to the Company from the over-allotment option were approximately $1.0 million.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and plans to conduct substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership.

Debt

Note Payable

On September 2, 2010, the Company borrowed $465,050 from WOF through the issuance of a promissory note. The note had an interest rate of 4.25% per annum and had a maturity date of April 30, 2011. The proceeds were used to reimburse for organizational, offering, acquisition and due diligence expenses. On April 5, 2011, the Company paid off this note in conjunction with the closing of the IPO and the private placement with WOF. The Company incurred interest on this note of $217 and $5,090 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively.

Mortgage Notes Payable

The Company partially financed the acquisitions of Stone Rise, Summit Crossing and Trail Creek with non-recourse mortgage notes collateralized only by the associated real estate assets for each community with no cross-collateralization of any of our other properties. Each mortgage requires payments of interest only from the dates of closing through May 1, 2014, then principal and interest are due on a 30-year amortization schedule through May 1, 2018, the date of maturity of each instrument. Interest expense on the mortgages for the three acquired properties was:

In addition, the Company recorded amortization of deferred loan costs related to these mortgages of $21,493 and $42,986 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and $21,541 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011. The interest expense and deferred loan cost amortization for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 began with the closing dates of the acquisition of the three multifamily properties and so do not reflect a full quarter of activity.

Variable monthly interest rates are capped at 7.25% and 6.85% for Stone Rise and Trail Creek, respectively. LIBOR was 0.245% on June 30, 2012. Based upon this current rate, the Company’s estimated future principal payments due on its debt instruments as of June 30, 2012 were:

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year beginning January 1, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes after this effective date. For the period preceding this election date, the Company's operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status, therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate for the period ended June 30, 2012.

Preferred Stock [Text Block]

Redeemable Preferred Stock

On November 18, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared effective our registration statement on Form S-11 (registration number 333-176604) for our offering of up to a maximum of 150,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock. Dividends on each share of Preferred Stock will begin accruing on the date of issuance. The Preferred Stock is redeemable at the option of the holder beginning two years following the date of issue subject to a 10% redemption fee. After year three the redemption fee decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion, excluding limited holder death rights which expire two years after the applicable issuance date. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such warrant with a minimum exercise price of $9.00 per share. The current market price per share is determined using the volume weighted average closing market price for the 20 trading days prior to the date of issuance of the Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had issued 10,018 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $9.1 million from the Unit offering. The Preferred Stock 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. The number of Units issued was approximately 6.7% of the maximum 150,000 Units available to be issued, and consequently, at June 30, 2012, the Company cumulatively recognized approximately 6.7%, or $142,485 of the incurred offering costs related to the Unit offering as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. As of June 30, 2012, aggregate offering costs totaled approximately $2.2 million, of which approximately $2.1 million is still reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as deferred offering costs. The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs will likewise be recognized in the proportion of the number of Units issued to the maximum number of Units available to be issued, subject to a cap of 1.5% of the total proceeds from the Unit offering, which is the maximum amount of offering expenses for which its Manager will be reimbursed.

Compensation cost in the amount of $260,000 was recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the first anniversary of the grant date and all 26,000 shares vested on April 5, 2012. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $2,849 and $66,867. For both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, stock compensation expense for these grants was $61,973.

On May 10, 2012, the Company granted a total of 33,046 shares of restricted Common Stock to its non-employee board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The per-share fair value was $7.83 and total compensation cost in the amount of $258,750 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the earlier of first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense was $43,333 for these grants. Unrecognized compensation expense was $215,417 and all 33,046 unvested shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

Directors’ Stock Grants

On February 2, 2012, the Company granted 2,988 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $6.12, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,287 was recorded in full at the grant date.

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted 1,872 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $9.62, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,009 was recorded in full at the grant date.

Class B Units

On December 30, 2011, pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, the Company granted 107,164 Class B Units, representing ownership interests in the Operating Partnership, to certain of its executive officers as compensation for service in 2011. On January 3, 2012, the Company granted 106,988 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2012.

The Class B Units become Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which is one year from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase of at least $650,000, the Vested Class B Units become Earned Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, which are henceforth entitled to distributions from the Operating Partnership and become exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company 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 $650,000. 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 determining the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the total fair value, which will be amortized as compensation expense over the one-year period beginning on the grant date through the Initial Valuation Date. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $239,845 and $477,120 for these awards. Unrecognized compensation expense for these awards was $478,718 and all unvested Class B Units were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

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

	2011			2012
Grant dates	12/30/2011			1/3/2012
Stock price	$	5.98		$	6.05
Dividend yield	8.7		%	8.6		%
Expected volatility	35.29		%	35.23		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.73		%	2.83		%
Derived service period (years)	1.0			1.0
Number of Units granted	107,164			106,988
Calculated fair value per Unit, assuming:
50% vesting	$	4.49		$	4.50
100% vesting	$	4.46		$	4.47
Total fair value of Units	$	479,559		$	479,841

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s closing price of its Common Stock on the grant date and its projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.13 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and is the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 years yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.

Since the likelihood of attainment of the market condition for the Class B Units to become earned is believed to be high and the vesting period is one year, the forfeiture rate assumption for these Class B Units was set to 0%.

Since the Class B Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.

Warrant

On March 31, 2011, as partial compensation for services rendered for the IPO, the Company issued to International Assets Advisory, LLC, or IAA, a warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price is $12.50 per share, which is 125% of the gross IPO price of $10.00 per share. The warrant is currently exercisable and expires on March 31, 2015. The Company calculated the per-share fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes method. The underlying valuation assumptions were:

Dividend yield                5.0%

Expected volatility            62.69%

Risk-free interest rate            1.765%

Expected option term (years)        4

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s gross IPO price per share of $10.00 and its then-projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.125 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the treasury constant maturities nominal yield table obtained from the Federal Reserve, interpolated between the three-year and five-year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on March 31, 2011.

The expected term assumption of 4 years was equal to the contractual term of the instrument. The fair value of the warrant was calculated to be $462,330 ($3.08 per share) and, since all service conditions had been met as of the date of issuance, was recorded in full at March 31, 2011 as an increase in the deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet and an increase in additional paid-in capital. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were removed from the consolidated balance sheet and charged against stockholders’ equity.

The warrant is exercisable, at IAA’s option, in whole or in part, by either payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares exercised, plus applicable transfer taxes, or by a cashless net share settlement. Upon exercise of the warrant, shares of Common Stock will be issued from authorized but unissued Common Stock.

Equity Compensation

Stock Incentive Plan

On February 25, 2011, the Company’s board of directors adopted, and the Company’s stockholders approved, the Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. 2011 Stock Incentive Plan, or, as amended, the 2011 Plan, to incentivize, compensate and retain eligible employees, consultants, and non-employee directors. A maximum of 567,500 shares of Common Stock may be issued under the 2011 Plan. Awards may be made in the form of issuances of Common Stock, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), performance shares, incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, or other forms. Eligibility for receipt of, amounts, and all terms governing awards pursuant to the 2011 Plan, such as vesting periods and voting and dividend rights on unvested awards, are determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Restricted Stock Grants

On April 5, 2011, the Company granted a total of 26,000 shares of restricted Common Stock to its non-employee board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The Company records the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of grant. The fair value per share was deemed to be $10.00 per share (the IPO offering price) by Board resolution. Compensation cost in the amount of $260,000 was recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the first anniversary of the grant date and all 26,000 shares vested on April 5, 2012. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $2,849 and $66,867. For both the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011, stock compensation expense for these grants was $61,973.

On May 10, 2012, the Company granted a total of 33,046 shares of restricted Common Stock to its non-employee board members, in payment of their annual retainer fees. The per-share fair value was $7.83 and total compensation cost in the amount of $258,750 will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period ending on the earlier of first anniversary of the grant date or the next annual meeting of the Company's stockholders. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense was $43,333 for these grants. Unrecognized compensation expense was $215,417 and all 33,046 unvested shares were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

Directors’ Stock Grants

On February 2, 2012, the Company granted 2,988 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $6.12, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,287 was recorded in full at the grant date.

On May 5, 2011, the Company granted 1,872 shares of Common Stock to its independent board members, in payment of their meeting fees. The per-share fair value of this immediate-vesting award was $9.62, which was the closing price of the Common Stock on the prior business day. The total compensation cost of $18,009 was recorded in full at the grant date.

Class B Units

On December 30, 2011, pursuant to its Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership, the Company granted 107,164 Class B Units, representing ownership interests in the Operating Partnership, to certain of its executive officers as compensation for service in 2011. On January 3, 2012, the Company granted 106,988 Class B Units for service to be rendered during 2012.

The Class B Units become Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which is one year from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase of at least $650,000, the Vested Class B Units become Earned Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership, which are henceforth entitled to distributions from the Operating Partnership and become exchangeable for Common Stock of the Company 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 $650,000. 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 determining the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the total fair value, which will be amortized as compensation expense over the one-year period beginning on the grant date through the Initial Valuation Date. For the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012, stock compensation expense for these grants was $239,845 and $477,120 for these awards. Unrecognized compensation expense for these awards was $478,718 and all unvested Class B Units were outstanding at June 30, 2012.

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

	2011			2012
Grant dates	12/30/2011			1/3/2012
Stock price	$	5.98		$	6.05
Dividend yield	8.7		%	8.6		%
Expected volatility	35.29		%	35.23		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.73		%	2.83		%
Derived service period (years)	1.0			1.0
Number of Units granted	107,164			106,988
Calculated fair value per Unit, assuming:
50% vesting	$	4.49		$	4.50
100% vesting	$	4.46		$	4.47
Total fair value of Units	$	479,559		$	479,841

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s closing price of its Common Stock on the grant date and its projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.13 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and is the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 years yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.

Since the likelihood of attainment of the market condition for the Class B Units to become earned is believed to be high and the vesting period is one year, the forfeiture rate assumption for these Class B Units was set to 0%.

Since the Class B Units have no expiration date, a derived service period of one year was utilized, which equals the period of time from the grant date to the initial valuation date.

Warrant

On March 31, 2011, as partial compensation for services rendered for the IPO, the Company issued to International Assets Advisory, LLC, or IAA, a warrant to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price is $12.50 per share, which is 125% of the gross IPO price of $10.00 per share. The warrant is currently exercisable and expires on March 31, 2015. The Company calculated the per-share fair value of the warrant using the Black-Scholes method. The underlying valuation assumptions were:

Dividend yield                5.0%

Expected volatility            62.69%

Risk-free interest rate            1.765%

Expected option term (years)        4

The expected dividend yield assumption was derived from the Company’s gross IPO price per share of $10.00 and its then-projected future quarterly dividend payments of $0.125 per share.

Since the Company has a limited amount of operating history in the public equity market, the expected volatility assumption was derived from the observed historical volatility of the common stock prices of a select group of peer companies within the REIT industry that most closely approximate the Company’s size, capitalization, leverage, line of business and geographic focus markets.

The risk-free rate assumption was obtained from the treasury constant maturities nominal yield table obtained from the Federal Reserve, interpolated between the three-year and five-year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on March 31, 2011.

The expected term assumption of 4 years was equal to the contractual term of the instrument. The fair value of the warrant was calculated to be $462,330 ($3.08 per share) and, since all service conditions had been met as of the date of issuance, was recorded in full at March 31, 2011 as an increase in the deferred offering costs on the consolidated balance sheet and an increase in additional paid-in capital. Subsequent to the closing of the IPO, these deferred offering costs were removed from the consolidated balance sheet and charged against stockholders’ equity.

The warrant is exercisable, at IAA’s option, in whole or in part, by either payment of the aggregate exercise price for the number of shares exercised, plus applicable transfer taxes, or by a cashless net share settlement. Upon exercise of the warrant, shares of Common Stock will be issued from authorized but unissued Common Stock.

Real Estate Loan [Abstract]

Real Estate Loans

On June 29, 2012, the Company made a real estate acquisition bridge loan in the amount of $2,868,471 to Iris Crosstown Apartments LLC, or Iris, a Georgia limited liability company, to acquire a parcel of land located in suburban Tampa, Florida, upon which a multifamily community is to be constructed. The amount drawn under the loan at June 30, 2012 was $2,811,101, with the balance scheduled to be drawn at a later date. The bridge loan matures on December 31, 2012, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. If Iris sells the property to a third party or if a third party refinances the bridge loan at any time during its term, an additional 6.0% exit fee will be due and payable to the Company.

The bridge loan is secured by a mortgage, an assignment of project documents and by unconditional guaranties of payment and performance by W. Daniel Faulk, Jr., Richard A. Denny, and J. Michael Morris, unaffiliated third parties and principals of the borrower. In connection with the closing of the bridge loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $57,369 and paid an acquisition fee of $28,685 to the Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

On May 7, 2012, the Company made a mezzanine loan, or Summit II, in the amount of $6,103,027 to Oxford Summit Apartments II LLC, or Oxford Summit II, a Georgia limited liability company, to partially finance the construction of a 140-unit multifamily community located adjacent to the Company’s existing Summit Crossing multifamily community in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

The Summit II mezzanine loan matures on May 8, 2017, with no option to extend and pays current monthly interest of 8.0% per annum. The Company will accrue an additional 6.0% interest which will be due at maturity or if the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party. The Company also has an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property between and including October 1, 2014 and February 28, 2015 for a pre-negotiated purchase price of $19,254,155. If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, the additional accrued interest will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Oxford Summit II. Prepayment of the mezzanine loan is permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $12,384,000 that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. In addition, Messrs. Faulk and Denny have entered into joint and several repayment guaranties of the mezzanine loan. The repayment guaranties expire at the completion of construction of the property. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement.

In connection with the closing of the Summit II mezzanine loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $122,061 and paid an acquisition fee of $61,030 to the Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company will be recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

On June 30, 2011, the Company made a mezzanine loan, or Trail II, of $6.0 million to Oxford Hampton Partners LLC, or Hampton Partners, a Georgia limited liability company and a related party, to partially finance the construction of a 96-unit multifamily community located adjacent to the Company’s existing Trail Creek multifamily community in Hampton, Virginia. Hampton Partners was required to fully draw down the mezzanine loan on the closing date. Approximately 100% of the membership interest in Hampton Partners is owned by WRF.

The Trail II mezzanine loan matures on June 29, 2016, with no option to extend and pays interest at a fixed rate of 8.0% per annum. Interest will be paid monthly with principal and any accrued but unpaid interest due at maturity. Under the terms of a purchase option agreement entered into in connection with the closing of the mezzanine loan, the Company has an option (but not an obligation) to purchase the property between and including April 1, 2014 and June 30, 2014 for $17,825,600, which is the amount of the aggregate project costs as set forth in the approved construction budget on the closing date. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party before July 1, 2014, the Company will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide it with a 14% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. If the property is sold to, or refinanced by, a third party on or after July 1, 2014, then the Company will be entitled to receive an exit fee equal to the amount required to provide it with a 12% cumulative internal rate of return on the loan. The calculation of the cumulative internal rate of return will include the loan’s fees received at closing. Since the minimum exit fee, assuming the purchase option is not exercised, is the amount needed to provide a 12% cumulative internal rate of return, the Company will accrue each period the additional exit fee earned based on the 12% rate assuming the loan was paid off at period end as the borrower cannot control whether the option is exercised. The accrued exit fee will be recorded as interest income in the consolidated statements of operations.

If the Company exercises the purchase option and acquires the property, any accrued and unpaid exit fee will be treated as additional basis in the acquired project.

The Trail II mezzanine loan is secured by a pledge of 100% of the membership interests of Hampton Partners. Partial prepayment of the mezzanine loan is not permitted without the Company’s consent. The mezzanine loan is subordinate to a senior loan of up to an aggregate amount of $10 million that is held by an unrelated third party. W. Daniel Faulk, Jr. and Richard A. Denny, both unaffiliated third parties, have guaranteed the completion of the project in accordance with the plans and specifications. This guaranty is subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement with the senior lender.

In connection with the closing of the Trail II mezzanine loan, the Company received a loan fee of 2% of the loan amount, or $120,000, and a loan commitment fee of $14,333. The Company paid an acquisition fee of $60,000 to its Manager out of these funds. The net fees received by the Company are recognized as an adjustment of yield over the term of the loan using the effective interest method.

The Company recorded interest income and other revenue from these transactions as follows:

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 fall under the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, and require further evaluation as to whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and necessitate consolidation. The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each 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, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the project. If the Company is 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 treatment would be required.

The Company's three real estate loans partially finance the development activities of the Iris, Oxford Summit II, and Hampton Partners legal entities. Each of these entities, according to the Company's analysis, are deemed to be variable interest entities, or VIEs, due to the sufficiency of investment at risk, as well as the existence of exclusive, although limited, purchase options on the Trail II and Summit II loans. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of any of these three entities, and it does not exercise control by directing the activities that most significantly impact the entities' financial performance. Therefore, the Company has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their carrying value of approximately $14.9 million.

The Company is subject to a concentration of credit risk that could be considered significant with regard to all of its real estate loans and one note receivable, as identified specifically by the two named principals of the borrowers listed here and in note 5. These loans and notes total approximately $15.6 million and in the event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers, 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, guaranties of loan repayment, and project completion performance guaranties.

The borrowers and guarantors behind these real estate loans and the Oxford note described in note 5 collectively qualify as a major customer as defined in ASC 280-10-50. The Company recorded revenue from transactions with this major customer for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 of $333,615 and $472,613, respectively.

(A) The Company’s issuances totaling 10,018 shares of Preferred Stock which accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6.0% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly.

(B) The Company's unvested restricted share awards (33,046 and 26,000 shares of Common Stock at June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company has incurred net losses to date, the cumulative dividends declared as of June 30, 2012 are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock since the unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities.

(C) Potential dilution from 150,000 shares of Common Stock that would be outstanding due to the hypothetical exercise of a warrant issued by the Company on March 31, 2011, as well as a total of 214,152 unvested Class B Units issued on December 30, 2011 and January 3, 2012 were both excluded from the diluted shares calculation because the effect was antidilutive.
