Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2014
(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
NOTE 1: Organization
Independence Realty Trust, Inc. was formed on March 26, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. We are externally managed by a subsidiary of RAIT Financial Trust, or RAIT, a publicly traded Maryland REIT whose common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol RAS. As used herein, the terms we, our and us refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP, which we refer to as our operating partnership, and their subsidiaries. We own apartment properties in geographic submarkets that we believe support strong occupancy and have the potential for growth in rental rates. We seek to provide stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns, with an emphasis on distributions and capital appreciation. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.
As of June 30, 2014, we owned nineteen apartment properties with 5,342 units located in ten states.
NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
b. Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of our operating partnership and other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
c. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Investments in Real Estate
Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets
We account for acquisitions of properties that meet the definition of a business pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Purchase accounting is applied to assets and liabilities associated with the real estate acquired. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the loan.

Table of Contents
Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
As of June 30, 2014
(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)
Upon the acquisition of properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we allocate the initial purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments will be made to the purchase price allocation, in no case later than twelve months of the acquisition date. We did not make any adjustments to the purchase price allocation during the three months ended June 30, 2014.
In determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) managements estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the lease term. We did not acquire any above-market or below-market in-place leases during the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2014.
The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2013 we recorded $118 and $235 of amortization expense for intangible assets, respectively. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2014 we recorded $1,214 and $1,944 of amortization expense for intangible assets, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place lease intangible assets of $1,126 for the remainder of 2014.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.
Management evaluates the long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and records an impairment charge when there is an indicator of impairment. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense for real estate assets are computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for equipment and fixtures. Expenditures for tenant improvements are capitalized and amortized over the initial term of each lease. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2013 we recorded $947 and $1,864 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2014 we recorded $2,018 and $3,412 of depreciation expense, respectively.

e. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:
| Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment. |
| Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset. |
The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new, whether the investment is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use prices and inputs that management believes are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3.
Fair value for certain of our Level 3 financial instruments is derived using internal valuation models. These internal valuation models include discounted cash flow analyses developed by management using current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular instrument, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the impact of our own credit spreads is also considered when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative contracts. Where appropriate, valuation adjustments are made to account for various factors, including bid-ask spreads, credit quality and market liquidity. These adjustments are applied on a consistent basis and are based on observable inputs where available. Managements estimate of fair value requires significant management judgment and is subject to a high degree of variability based upon market conditions, the availability of specific issuer information and managements assumptions.
FASB ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique, which classifies this as a level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage indebtedness as of June 30, 2014 is $203,478 and $202,750, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage indebtedness as of December 31, 2013 was $100,803 and $101,272, respectively. The fair value of secured credit facility, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates cost due to the nature of these instruments.

f. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. This accounting standard amends existing guidance to change reporting requirements for discontinued operations by requiring the disposal of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This accounting standard generally replaces existing guidance by requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6: Equity Compensation Plans
Long Term Incentive Plan
On April 5, 2011, our board of directors approved and adopted the Long Term Incentive Plan, or the incentive plan, and the Independent Directors Compensation Plan, or the director plan. Our incentive plan provides for the grants of awards to our directors, officers and full-time employees (in the event we ever have employees), full-time employees of our advisor and its affiliates, full-time employees of entities that provide services to our advisor, directors of our advisor or of entities that provide services to it, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to our advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to our advisor. The incentive plan authorizes the grant of restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock- or cash-based awards. On July 29, 2013, our board of directors and stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our incentive plan to reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder to 800,000 shares.
Under the director plan, which operates as a sub-plan of our incentive plan, each of our independent directors will receive 3,000 shares of common stock annually. In addition, our independent directors may elect to receive their annual cash fee in the form of our common shares or a combination of common shares and cash. On October 29, 2013, our compensation committee made the initial stock grant under the director plan so that our independent directors received 9,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate valued at $77 using our closing stock price of $8.60. These awards vested immediately. On May 14, 2014, our compensation committee made a stock grant under the director plan so that our independence directors received 9,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate valued at $81 using our closing stock price of $8.95. These awards vested immediately.
On January 31, 2014, the compensation committee awarded 40,000 shares of restricted common stock, valued at $328 using our closing stock price of $8.20, to persons affiliated with our advisor, including our executive officers. These awards generally vest over three-year periods.
On January 31, 2014, the compensation committee awarded 80,000 stock appreciation rights, or SARs, valued at $49 based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model at the date of grant, to persons affiliated with our advisor, including our executive officers. The SARs vest over a three-year period and may be exercised between the date of vesting and January 31, 2019, the expiration date of the SARs.
Distribution Reinvestment Program
We had adopted a distribution reinvestment program, or the DRP, through which our stockholders could elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares of common stock in additional shares in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The common stock available under the DRP was reallocated to the August 2013 underwritten offering when the amended registration statement was filed and the DRP was subsequently terminated. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid on shares sold under the DRP.

NOTE 7: Related Party Transactions and Arrangements
Fees and Expenses Paid to Our Advisor
Effective as of May 7, 2013, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, or the amended and restated advisory agreement. The amended and restated advisory agreement was adopted primarily to adjust the advisors compensation and modify its duties to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the amended advisory agreement, our advisor will be compensated as follows:
| Quarterly base management fee of 0.1875% of average gross real estate assets as of the last day of such quarter. Average gross real estate assets means the average of the aggregate book value of our real estate assets before reserves for depreciation or other similar noncash reserves and excluding the book values attributable to the eight properties that were acquired prior to August 16, 2013. We compute average gross real estate assets by taking the average of these book values at the end of each month during the quarter for which we are calculating the fee. The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1875% of average gross real estate assets as of the last day of such quarter. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, our advisor earned $347 and $493 of asset management fees, respectively. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, our advisor earned $0 and $82 of asset management fees, respectively. |
| We pay our advisor an incentive fee based on our pre-incentive fee core funds from operations, or Core FFO, a non-GAAP measure, as defined in the advisory agreement. The incentive fee is computed at the end of each fiscal quarter as follows: |
| no incentive fee in any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee Core FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75% (7% annualized) of the cumulative gross amount of equity capital we have obtained; and |
| 20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds 1.75% (7% annualized) of the cumulative gross proceeds from the issuance of equity securities we have obtained. |
| For each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 our advisor earned $154 of incentive fees. For each of the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 our advisor earned $79 of incentive fees. These fees are included within asset management fees in our consolidated statements of operations. |
As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 we had liabilities payable to our advisor for asset management fees of $501 and $107, respectively.
Property Management Fees Paid to Our Property Manager
We have entered into property management agreements with RAIT Residential, or our property manager, which is majority owned by RAIT, with respect to each of our properties. Pursuant to the property management agreements, we pay our property manager property management and leasing fees on a monthly basis of an amount up to 4.0% of the gross revenues from the property for each month. Additionally, we may pay our property manager a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arms length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area. Each management agreement has an initial one year term, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless either party gives prior notice of its desire to terminate the management agreement. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 our property manager earned $411 and $732, respectively, of property management and leasing fees. For the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 our property manager earned $187 and $373, respectively, of property management and leasing fees. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had liabilities payable to our property manager for property management and leasing fees of $144 and $83, respectively.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation that owns apartment properties in geographic submarkets that we believe support strong occupancy and have the potential for growth in rental rates. We seek to provide stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns, with an emphasis on distributions and capital appreciation. We are externally advised by a wholly-owned subsidiary of RAIT Financial Trust, or RAIT (NYSE: RAS), a multi-strategy commercial real estate company organized as an internally managed REIT with approximately $5.3 billion of assets under management as of June 30, 2014. RAIT invests primarily in commercial mortgages and, to a lesser extent, apartment properties. RAIT owned 39.3% of our outstanding common shares as of June 30, 2014. As of August 7, 2014 RAIT owns 28.2% of our outstanding common shares. We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011.
We seek to acquire and operate apartment properties that:
| have stable occupancy; |
| are located in submarkets that we do not expect will experience substantial new apartment construction in the foreseeable future; |
| in appropriate circumstances, present opportunities for repositioning or updating through capital expenditures; and |
| present opportunities to apply tailored marketing and management strategies to attract and retain residents and enable rent increases. |

On July 21, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering of our common stock raising gross proceeds of $76.5 million. We expect to deploy the majority of the proceeds by the end of the third quarter ending September 30, 2014. After giving effect to this offering, the percent of our outstanding common stock held by RAIT was reduced from 39.4% to 28.2%. During the six month period ending June 30, 2014, we acquired nine properties totaling 2,552 units for $168.5 million. These acquisitions contributed to our substantial growth in a number of key financial measures this quarter when compared to the corresponding period in 2013 as follows: core funds from operations increased 162% to $3.4 million from $1.3 million, operating income increased 50% to $1.8 million from $1.2 million and total revenues grew 147% to $11.6 million from $4.7 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations
We believe that FFO and Core FFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.
Core FFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate companys operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including acquisition expenses, expensed costs related to the issuance of shares of our common stock, gains or losses on real estate transactions and equity-based compensation expenses, from the determination of FFO. We incur acquisition expenses in connection with acquisitions of real estate properties and expense those costs when incurred in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these expenses are one-time and reflective of investing activities rather than operating performance, we add back these costs to FFO in determining Core FFO.
Our calculation of Core FFO differs from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by some other REITs and, accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to Core FFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and Core FFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and with respect to Core FFO, acquisition expenses and pursuit costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, Core FFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and Core FFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. We also use Core FFO for purposes of determining the quarterly incentive fee, if any, payable to our advisor.
Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for managements discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Core FFO for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

The increase is due to the $18.9 million first mortgage obtained on Eagle Ridge, the $67.8 million of debt assumed on the OKC Portfolio and Kings Landing during the three-months ended March 31, 2014 and the $15.3 million first mortgage obtained on The Crossings during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Revenue
Rental income. Rental revenue increased $9.6 million to $18.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $8.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. $9.3 million of the increase is due to the acquisition of nine properties during the six-months ended June 30, 2014 and from two properties acquired in September 2013 and November 2013. The remaining increase is due to improved occupancy and rental rates at the historical properties.
Tenant reimbursement income. Reimbursement income increased $0.4 million to $0.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $0.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the acquisition of nine properties during the six-months ended June 30, 2014 and from two properties acquired in September 2013 and November 2013.
Other income. Other income increased $0.5 million to $1.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

The remaining increase is due to an increase in real estate tax expense and repairs and maintenance expense at the historical properties.
General and administrative expense. General and administrative expense increased $0.2 million to $0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $0.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to an increase in annual report and proxy filing costs during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and reimbursement of stock transfer agent fees from our advisor during the six-months ended June 30, 2013.
Asset management fees. Asset management fee expense increased $0.5 million to $0.7 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $0.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the acquisition of nine properties during the six-months ended June 30, 2014, from two properties acquired in September 2013 and November 2013, and the incentive fee payable under our amended advisory agreement.
Acquisition expenses. Acquisition expenses were $0.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014. These expenses were incurred in connection with the acquisition of nine properties during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.4 million to $3.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from $1.8 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The increase is due to the $18.9 million first mortgage obtained on Eagle Ridge, the $67.8 million of debt assumed on the OKC Portfolio and Kings Landing and the $15.3 million first mortgage obtained on The Crossings during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs.
We believe our available cash balances, and other financing arrangements and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next 12 months. We expect that our existing cash, which was obtained principally in our underwritten offering, together with borrowings we may obtain and the future acquisitions we expect to make as a result of the completion of our underwritten offering will have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate. Should our liquidity needs exceed our available sources of liquidity, we believe that we could sell assets to raise additional cash. We may not be able to obtain additional financing when we desire to do so or on terms and conditions acceptable to us. If we fail to obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain or grow our business will be constrained.
Our primary cash requirements are to:
| make investments and fund the associated costs; |
| repay our indebtedness; |
| pay our operating expenses, including fees paid to our advisor and our property manager; and |
| distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT. |
We intend to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through:
| the use of our cash and cash equivalent balance of $8.1 million as of June 30, 2014; |
| cash generated from operating activities; |
| if required, proceeds from future borrowings and offerings. |
We will seek to enhance our growth through the use of prudent amounts of leverage. In general, we intend to limit our aggregate leverage to 65% of the combined initial purchase price of all of our real estate properties. However, we are not subject to any limitations on the amount of leverage we may use, and, accordingly, the amount of leverage we use may be significantly less or greater than we currently anticipate. By operating on a leveraged basis, we expect to have more funds available for property acquisitions and other purposes, which we believe will allow us to acquire more properties than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio. We may employ greater leverage in order to more quickly build a diversified portfolio of assets.
On July 21, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering selling 8,050,000 shares of our common stock for $9.50 per share raising gross and net proceeds of $76.5 million and $72.4 million, respectively.
On January 29, 2014, we completed an underwritten public offering selling 8,050,000 shares of our common stock for $8.30 per share raising gross and net proceeds of $66.8 million and $63.0 million, respectively.
On October 25, 2013, we entered into a $20 million secured revolving credit agreement with The Huntington National Bank to be used to acquire properties, for capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. The facility has a 3-year term, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% and contains customary financial covenants for this type of revolving credit agreement. As of June 30, 2014, there was $7.9 million of availability under this facility.

Our increased cash inflow from operating activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the operations of the nine additional properties acquired during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 and two properties acquired in September 2013 and November 2013.
Our increased cash outflow from investing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the acquisition of nine properties during the six-months ended June 30, 2014.
The increased cash flow from our financing activities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to the completion of our January underwritten public offering and financing secured by our Reserve at Eagle Ridge and The Crossings properties.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies. Management discusses our critical accounting policies and managements judgments and estimates with our Audit Committee.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements. This accounting standard amends existing guidance to change reporting requirements for discontinued operations by requiring the disposal of an entity to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results. This standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This accounting standard generally replaces existing guidance by requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the impact that this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. | Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk. |
Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of long-term debt used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures and expand our real estate investment portfolio and operations. Market fluctuations in real estate financing may affect the availability and cost of funds needed to expand our investment portfolio. In addition, restrictions upon the availability of real estate financing or high interest rates for real estate loans could adversely affect our ability to dispose of real estate in the future. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates on loans secured by our assets. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. With regard to variable rate financing, our advisor assesses our interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Our advisor maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding and forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. While this hedging strategy is designed to minimize the impact on our net income and funds from operations of changes in interest rates, the overall returns on any investment in our securities may be reduced. We currently have limited exposure to financial market risks.
We may also be exposed to credit risk in derivative contracts we may use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.
Interest Rate Risk and Sensitivity
Interest rates may be affected by economic, geo-political, monetary and fiscal policy, market supply and demand and other factors generally outside our control, and such factors may be highly volatile. A change in market interest rates applicable to the fixed-rate portion of our indebtedness affects the fair value, but it has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in market interest rates applicable to the variable portion of our indebtedness affects the interest incurred and cash flows, but does not affect the fair value.
As of June 30, 2014, our only interest rate sensitive assets or liabilities related to our $213.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, of which $50.2 million is floating-rate and $163.3 million is fixed-rate indebtedness. We monitor interest rate risk routinely and seek to minimize the possibility that a change in interest rates would impact the interest incurred and our cash flows. To mitigate such risk, we may use interest rate derivative contracts. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we did not have any interest rate derivatives in effect.
As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of our $163.3 million of fixed-rate indebtedness was $165.0 million. The fair value estimate of our fixed rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated at June 30, 2014. As we expect to hold our fixed rate instruments to maturity and the amounts due under such instruments would be limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed rate instruments, would have a significant impact on our operations.
The following table summarizes the interest income and interest expense for a 12-month period, and the change in the net fair value of our investments and indebtedness assuming an instantaneous increase or decrease of 100 basis points in the LIBOR interest rate curve, both adjusted for the effects of our interest rate hedging activities (dollars in thousands):
