Company’s Organization and Operations

As used in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, the terms “American Residential Properties, Inc.,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to American Residential Properties, Inc. We are an internally managed real estate company organized as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that acquires, owns and manages single-family homes as rental properties. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through (i) American Residential Properties OP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, or our Operating Partnership, in which we have a 98.4% interest as of March 31, 2014 and for which, through our wholly owned subsidiary, American Residential GP, LLC, we serve as sole general partner, and (ii) American Residential Properties TRS, LLC, or our TRS, which is our taxable REIT subsidiary. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, we will generally not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that we currently distribute all of our taxable income to our stockholders and meet other specific requirements.

We were incorporated in Maryland in March 2012 and completed our initial private offering of our common stock in May 2012, raising net proceeds of approximately $208.7 million. In December 2012 and January 2013, we raised an additional approximately $139.1 million of net proceeds from a follow-on private offering of our common stock and a private placement of our common stock.

We completed our initial public offering, or our IPO, in May 2013, in which we issued and sold 13,700,000 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $21.00 per share, and we received approximately $265.1 million of net proceeds.

As of March 31, 2014, we owned 6,762 properties in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
