The Company is the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Both the Company and the Operating Partnership were formed on October 12, 2012 and commenced operations upon completion of the underwritten initial public offering of shares of the Company’s common stock (the “IPO”) and certain related formation transactions (the “Formation Transactions”) on May 13, 2013.

Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. Predecessor (the “Predecessor”) was not a single legal entity, but rather a combination of real estate and construction entities under common ownership by their individual partners, members and stockholders and under common control or significant influence of Daniel A. Hoffler prior to the IPO and the Formation Transactions. The financial position and results of operations of the entities under common control of Mr. Hoffler have been combined in the Predecessor financial statements for the periods prior to the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions. The Predecessor accounted for its investments in the entities under significant influence of Mr. Hoffler using the equity method of accounting.

On May 13, 2013, the Company completed the IPO of 16,525,000 shares of common stock and on May 22, 2013, the underwriters of the IPO exercised their overallotment option in full to purchase an additional 2,478,750 shares. Net proceeds from the IPO to the Company after deducting the underwriting discount and related offering costs were $192.2 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in the Operating Partnership. With the net proceeds from the IPO, the Operating Partnership repaid $150.0 million of outstanding indebtedness and paid $47.6 million as partial consideration to prior investors in connection with the Formation Transactions.

Pursuant to the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership: (i) acquired 100% of the interests in the entities comprising the Predecessor, (ii) succeeded to the ongoing construction and development businesses of the Predecessor, (iii) assumed asset management of certain of the properties acquired from the Predecessor, (iv) succeeded to the third-party asset management business of the Predecessor, (v) succeeded to the projects under development by the Predecessor, (vi) received options to acquire nine parcels of developable land from the Predecessor and (vii) entered into a contribution agreement to acquire Liberty Apartments upon satisfaction of certain conditions and transferability restrictions including completion of the project’s construction by the Company. The Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of Liberty Apartments on January 17, 2014.

The Company accounted for the contribution or acquisition of interests in the combined entities of the Predecessor as transactions among entities under common control. As a result, the contribution or acquisition of interests in each of the combined entities was accounted for at the Predecessor’s historical cost. The acquisitions of interests in the equity method investments of the Predecessor were accounted for as purchases at fair value under the acquisition method of accounting.

References to “Armada Hoffler” in these notes to consolidated and combined financial statements signify the Company for the period after the completion of the IPO and the Formation Transactions on May 13, 2013 and the Predecessor for all prior periods. Because of the timing of the IPO and the Formation Transactions, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflect only those of the Predecessor. The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflect those of the Predecessor together with the Company, while the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014 as well as the financial condition as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 reflect only those of the Company.
