Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017


1.	Organization and Basis of Presentation

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. was formed as a Maryland corporation on September 18, 2009, and elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company", "we", "us", or "our" refer to Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., or the Operating Partnership. The Company was formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of its business strategy, the Company may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and may make real estate related loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the development of multifamily communities and other properties. As a secondary strategy, the Company also may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loan investments secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest a lesser portion of its assets in other real estate related investments, including other income-producing property types, senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loan investments secured by interests in other income-producing property types, or membership or partnership interests in other income-producing property types 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 6).

As of September 30, 2017, the Company had 35,597,744 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 97.5% owner of the Operating Partnership at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 901,195 at September 30, 2017 and represented Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class A OP Units. The Class A OP Units are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the Operating Partnership's choice of either cash or Common Stock. In the case of cash, the value is determined based upon the trailing 20-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock.

The Company controls the Operating Partnership through its sole general partner interest and conducts substantially all of its business through the Operating Partnership. The Company has determined the Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity, or VIE, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. New Market Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Office Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of office buildings. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities. Each of these entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.

Basis of Presentation

These consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain adjustments have been made consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The year end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all the disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 1, 2017.


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Acquisitions and Impairments of Real Estate Assets

When the Company acquires property, it allocates the aggregate purchase price to tangible assets, consisting of land, building, site improvements and furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identifiable intangible assets, consisting of the value of in- place leases

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2017

and above-market and below-market leases as described further below, using estimated fair values of each component at the time of purchase. The Company follows the guidance as outlined in ASC 805-10, Business Combinations, as amended by ASU-2017-01.

Tangible assets

The fair values of land acquired is calculated under the highest and best use model, using formal appraisals and comparable land sales, among other inputs. Building value is determined by valuing the property on a “go-dark” basis as if it were vacant, and also using a replacement cost approach, which two results are then reconciled. Site improvements are valued using replacement cost. Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions and other related costs. 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.

Identifiable intangible assets

In-place leases

Multifamily communities and student housing properties

The fair value of in-place leases are estimated by calculating the estimated time to fill a hypothetically empty apartment complex to its stabilization level (estimated to be 93% occupancy) based on historical observed move-in rates for each property, and which approximate market rates. Carrying costs during these hypothetical expected lease-up periods are estimated, considering current market conditions and include real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates. The intangible assets are calculated by estimating the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. The acquired in-place lease values are amortized to operating expense over the average remaining non-cancelable term of the respective in-place leases.

Grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings

The fair value of in-place leases represent the value of direct costs associated with leasing, including opportunity costs associated with lost rentals that are avoided by acquiring in-place leases. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, legal and marketing costs, incentives such as tenant improvement allowances and other direct costs. Such direct costs are estimated based on our consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the estimated market lease rates and the estimated absorption period of the space. These direct costs and opportunity costs are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as acquired intangible assets and are amortized to expense over the remaining term of the respective leases.

Above-market and below-market lease values

Multifamily communities and student housing properties

These values are usually not significant or are not applicable for these properties.

Grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings

The values of above-market and below-market leases are developed by comparing the Company's estimate of the average market rents and expense reimbursements to the average contract rent at the property acquisition date. The amount by which contract rent and expense reimbursements exceed estimated market rent are summed for each individual lease and discounted for a singular aggregate above-market lease intangible asset for the property. The amount by which estimated market rent exceeds contract rent and expense reimbursements are summed for each individual lease and discounted for a singular aggregate below-market lease intangible liability. The above-market or below-market lease values are recorded as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining noncancelable term of the respective leases, plus any below-market probable renewal options.

Impairment assessment

The Company evaluates its tangible and identifiable intangible real estate assets for impairment when events such as declines in a property’s operating performance, deteriorating market conditions, or environmental or legal concerns bring recoverability of the carrying value of one or more assets into question. When qualitative factors indicate the possibility of impairment, the total

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2017

undiscounted cash flows of the asset group, including proceeds from disposition, are compared to the net book value of the asset group. If this test indicates that impairment exists, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the shortage of the book value to fair value, calculated as the discounted net cash flows of the asset group.

Revenue Recognition

Multifamily communities and student housing properties

Rental revenue is recognized when earned from residents of the Company's multifamily communities, which is over the terms of rental agreements, typically of 12 months’ duration. 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.

Grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings

Rental revenue from tenants' operating leases in the Company's grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue based on "percentage rent" provisions that provide for additional rents that become due upon achievement of specified sales revenue targets (as specified in each lease agreement) is recognized only after the tenant exceeds its specified sales revenue target. Revenue from reimbursements of the tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, or CAM, costs are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred. Lease termination revenues are recognized ratably over the revised remaining lease term after giving effect to the termination notice or when tenant vacates and the Company has no further obligations under the lease. Rents and tenant reimbursements collected in advance are recorded as prepaid rent within other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company estimates the collectability of the tenant receivable related to rental and reimbursement billings due from tenants and straight-line rent receivables, which represent the cumulative amount of future adjustments necessary to present rental revenue on a straight-line basis, by taking into consideration the Company's historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and remaining lease terms. The Company may provide retail and office building tenants an allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements. These leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the remaining lease term. If the allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements, the allowance is considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue. Determination of the appropriate accounting for the payment of a tenant allowance is made on a lease-by-lease basis, considering the facts and circumstances of the individual tenant lease. When the Company is the owner of the leasehold improvements, recognition of rental revenue commences when the lessee is given possession of the leased space upon completion of tenant improvements. However, when the leasehold improvements are owned by the tenant, the lease inception date is the date the tenant obtains possession of the leased space for purposes of constructing its leasehold improvements. For our Preferred Office Properties, if the improvement is deemed to be a “landlord asset,” and the tenant funded the tenant improvements, the cost is amortized over the term of the underlying lease as rental revenues. In order to qualify as a landlord asset, the specifics of the tenant’s assets are reviewed, including the Company's approval of the tenant’s detailed expenditures, whether such assets may be usable by other future tenants, whether the Company has consent to alter or remove the assets from the premises and generally remain the Company's property at the end of the lease.

Acquisition Costs

Through December 31, 2016, the Company expensed property acquisition costs as incurred, which include costs such as due diligence, legal, certain accounting, environmental and consulting, when the acquisition constituted a business combination. As described below in the section entitled New Accounting Pronouncements, Accounting Standards Update 2017-01 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2017, which changed the definition of a business. Under this new guidance, most property acquisitions made by the Company will fall within the category of acquired assets rather than acquired businesses. This distinction will cause the Company to capitalize its costs for acquisitions (including, effective July 1, 2017, a 1% acquisition fee), allocate them to the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities and amortize these costs over the remaining useful lives of those assets and liabilities.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"), Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive revenue recognition model for contracts with customers (excluding certain contracts, such as lease contracts) to improve comparability within industries. ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount the entity expects to be paid in exchange for those goods and services and provide enhanced disclosures, all to provide more comprehensive guidance for transactions such as service revenue and contract modifications. The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or prospectively with the cumulative effect, if any, recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company anticipates selecting the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption and will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018, when effective. In addition, the evaluation of non-lease components under ASU 2014-09 will not be effective until Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), ("ASU 2016-02") becomes effective (see further discussion below), which will be first quarter of 2019 for the Company. The Company has determined that approximately 90% of its revenues from its New Market Properties and office building segments are derived from either long-term leases with its tenants or reimbursement of property tax and insurance expenses, which are excluded from the scope of the ASU 2014-09. Of the remaining 10% of New Market Properties and office building segment revenues, the majority is comprised of common area maintenance (“CAM”) reimbursements, which is a non-lease component under ASU 2014-09 and therefore within its scope of adoption. Based on management's assessment to date, the Company does not expect the timing of the recognition of reimbursement revenue and other miscellaneous income to change as a result of the new guidance, though certain classifications will change between rental revenue and tenant reimbursements. Similarly, the Company's multifamily communities segment derives the majority of its revenues from rental operations, to which this standard is not applicable. However, the Company does provide non-rental services to its residents related to ancillary services and is currently evaluating the various revenue streams to identify any potential sources which may require bifurcation and reclassification. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

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

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 ("ASU 2016-02"), Leases (ASC 842), which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases and supersedes the previous standard, ASC 840 Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company anticipates adopting ASC 842 utilizing the modified retrospective method and is continuing to evaluate the impacts this standard will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

(Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard requires financial instruments carried at amortized cost to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, utilizing a valuation account which reflects the cumulative net adjustments from the gross amortized cost value. Under existing GAAP, entities would not record a valuation allowance until a loss was probable of occurring. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating methods of deriving initial valuation accounts to be applied to its real estate loan portfolio. The Company is continuing to evaluate the pending guidance but does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition, since the Company has not yet experienced a credit loss related to any of its financial instruments.

In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 ("ASU 2016-15"), Statement of Cash Flows—(Topic 326): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new standard clarifies or establishes guidance for the presentation of various cash transactions on the statement of cash flows. The portion of the guidance applicable to the Company's business activities include the requirement that cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs be presented as cash out flows for financing activities. The standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, since its current policy is to classify such costs as cash out flows for financing activities.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2017

In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 ("ASU 2016-18"), Statement of Cash Flows—(Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which requires restricted cash to be presented with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts in the statements of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018. The Company currently reports changes in restricted cash within the investing activities section of its consolidated statements of cash flows and does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-18 to impact its results of operations and financial condition.

In January 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-01 ("ASU 2017-01"), Business Combinations - (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. ASU 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The Company believes its future acquisitions of multifamily communities, office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers, and student housing properties will generally qualify as asset acquisitions. To the extent acquisitions are deemed to be asset acquisitions, acquisition costs have been and will be capitalized and amortized rather than expensed as incurred. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2017-01 was an decrease of approximately $3.4 million of the Company's reported net income available to common stockholders for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 and a decrease of approximately $6.1 million of the Company's reported net loss available to common stockholders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 than it would have under previous guidance.

In February 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-05 (“ASU 2017-05”), Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets and for partial sales of nonfinancial assets, and is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The new standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or under the modified retrospective method, with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. The Company currently expects to adopt ASU 2017-05 utilizing the modified retrospective method and is continuing to evaluate the effect the adoption of ASU 2017-05 will have on its results of operations and financial condition.

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

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

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

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

Preferred Office Properties

In the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported a misclassified amount of tenant improvements on its acquisition of the Three Ravinia office building. The impact on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2016 was an understatement of buildings and improvements of approximately $14.2 million and an overstatement of tenant improvements of the same amount, as shown in the table below. The Company assessed the impact of the error, both quantitatively and qualitatively, in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 99 and SAB No. 108 and concluded that it was not material to the Company’s previously issued Financial Statements. In order to conform previous financial statements with the current period, the Company elected to revise previously issued financial statements the next time such financial statements are filed. The revision had no impact on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, Consolidated Statement of Stockholder’s Equity, or the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.



Consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016	As previously reported		Adjustment			As revised
Real estate
Building and improvements	$	1,499,129,649	$	14,164,111		$	1,513,293,760
Tenant improvements	$	37,806,472	$	(14,164,111	)	$	23,642,361



Three Ravinia acquisition	As previously reported		Adjustment			As revised
Real estate
Buildings and improvements	$	133,323,658	$	14,164,111		$	147,487,769
Tenant improvements	$	20,698,893	$	(14,164,111	)	$	6,534,782

The error in the prior year purchase price allocation for the Three Ravinia acquisition was related to the expenditure timing of landlord funded tenant allowances and the related recognition of value at the acquisition date.

The Company recorded aggregate amortization and depreciation expense of:

The Palisades, Green Park and Stadium Village (see note 16) loans are subject to a loan participation agreement with a syndicate of unaffiliated third parties, under which the syndicate is to fund approximately 25% of the loan commitment amount and collectively receive approximately 25% of interest payments, returns of principal and purchase option discount (if applicable). The Company's Encore loan is subject to a loan participation agreement of 49% of the loan commitment amount, interest payments, and return of principal. The aggregate amount of the Company's liability under the loan participation agreements at September 30, 2017 was approximately $17.9 million.

The Company's real estate loans are collateralized by 100% of the membership interests of the underlying project entity, and, where considered necessary, by unconditional joint and several repayment guaranties and performance guaranties by the principal(s) of the borrowers. These guaranties generally remain in effect until the receipt of a final certificate of occupancy. All of the guaranties are subject to the rights held by the senior lender pursuant to a standard intercreditor agreement. The Crescent Avenue, Haven Northgate, Brentwood, and Berryessa loans are also collateralized by the acquired land or property. The18 Nineteen and Haven South loans are additionally collateralized by an assignment by the developer of security interests in unrelated projects. Prepayment of the real estate loans are permitted in whole, but not in part, without the Company's consent.

Management monitors the credit quality of the obligors under each of the Company's real estate loans by tracking the timeliness of scheduled interest and principal payments relative to the due dates as specified in the loan documents, as well as draw requests on the loans relative to the project budgets. In addition, management monitors the actual progress of development and construction relative to the construction plan, as well as local, regional and national economic conditions that may bear on our current and target markets. The credit quality of the Company’s borrowers is primarily based on their payment history on an individual loan basis, and as such, the Company does not assign quantitative credit value measures or categories to its real estate loans and notes receivable in credit quality categories. At September 30, 2017, none of the Company's real estate loans were delinquent.

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 within a specific time window following project completion and stabilization, the sufficiency of the borrowers' investment at risk and the existence of payment and performance guaranties provided by the borrowers, can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a variable interest entity, or VIE, which would necessitate consolidation of the project.

The Company considers the facts and circumstances pertinent to each entity borrowing under the loan, including the relative amount of financing the Company is contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control held by the Company, guarantees provided by third parties, and rights to expected residual gains or obligations to absorb expected residual losses that could be significant from the project. If the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE, consolidation treatment would be required.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2017

The Company has no decision making authority or power to direct activity, except normal lender rights, which are subordinate to the senior loans on the projects. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities and therefore it has not consolidated these entities in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's maximum exposure to loss from these loans is their drawn amount as of September 30, 2017 of approximately $371.3 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of September 30, 2017 was approximately $461.6 million.

The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310. For each loan, the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.

The Company is also subject to a geographic concentration of risk that could be considered significant with regard to the Encore, Encore Capital, Green Park, Stadium Village, Bishop Street, Dawsonville Marketplace, Crescent Avenue, 360 Forsyth, Morosgo and TP Kennesaw loans, all of which are partially supporting proposed various real estate projects in or near Atlanta, Georgia. The drawn amount of these loans as of September 30, 2017 totaled approximately $98.4 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $142.7 million) and in the event of a total failure to perform by the borrowers and guarantors, would subject the Company to a total possible loss of that amount.

5. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings

On February 14, 2017, the Company terminated its offering of up to 900,000 Units, or Follow-on Offering, and on the same day, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211924) (the “$1.5 Billion Follow-on Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC. This $1.5 Billion Follow-on Registration Statement allows us to offer up to a maximum of 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock (the "$1.5 Billion Unit Offering"). The price per Unit is $1,000, subject to adjustment if a participating broker-dealer reduces its commission. Each share of Preferred Stock ranks senior to Common Stock with respect to dividend rights and carries a cumulative annual 6% dividend of the stated per share value of $1,000, payable monthly as declared by the Company’s board of directors. Dividends begin accruing on the date of issuance. The redemption schedule of the Preferred Stock allows redemptions at the option of the holder from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock through the first year subject to a 13% redemption fee. After year one, the redemption fee decreases to 10%, after year three it decreases to 5%, after year four it decreases to 3%, and after year five there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion. The Warrant is exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such warrant with a minimum exercise price of $19.50 per share. The current market price per share of the Common Stock is determined using the closing price of the common stock immediately preceding the issuance of such Warrant. The Warrants are not exercisable until one year following the date of issuance and expire four years following the date of issuance. The Units are being offered by Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, an affiliate of the Company, on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. The Company intends to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes. Except as described in the $1.5 Billion Follow-on Registration Statement, the terms of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering are substantially similar to those under the Follow-on Offering. As of February 14, 2017, which was the final closing of the Follow-on Offering, offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, totaled approximately $97.2 million. These costs are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing. In addition, the costs related to the offering not related to a specific closing transaction totaled approximately $15.0 million. As of February 14, 2017, the Company had issued all available Units under the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-on Offering and collected net proceeds of approximately $891.2 million after commissions. Since the maximum number of Units available to be issued under the Primary Series A Offering and the Follow-on Offering were issued, the Company consequently recognized 100.0% of the approximate $15.0 million deferred offering costs as a reduction of stockholders' equity.

For the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, as of September 30, 2017, offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, totaled approximately $14.9 million. These costs are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing. In addition, the costs related to the offering not related to a specific closing transaction totaled approximately $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had issued 151,923 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $136.5 million after commissions under the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. The number of Units issued was approximately 10.1% of the maximum number of Units anticipated to be issued under the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. Consequently, the Company cumulatively recognized approximately 10.1% of the approximate $3.0 million deferred to date, or approximately $300,000 as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The remaining balance of offering costs not yet reflected as a reduction of stockholder's equity, approximately $2.7 million, are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated

balance sheet as deferred offering costs at September 30, 2017. The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs related to the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering will likewise be recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of Units issued to the maximum number of Units anticipated to be issued. Offering costs not related to a specific closing transaction are subject to an overall cap of approximately 1.5% (discussed further below) of the total gross proceeds raised during the Unit offerings.

Cumulatively, a total of 25,715 shares of Preferred Stock have been subsequently redeemed from the Primary Series A Offering, the Follow-on Offering, and the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering.

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

On May 5, 2016, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-211178), or the New Shelf Registration Statement, for an offering of up to $300 million of equity or debt securities, or the Shelf Offering, which was declared effective by the SEC on May 17, 2016. Deferred offering costs related to this Shelf Registration Statement totaled approximately $1.9 million as of September 30, 2017, of which $628,000 has been reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity. The remaining balance of offering costs not yet reflected as a reduction of stockholder's equity, approximately $1.3 million, are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheet as deferred offering costs at September 30, 2017.

On May 12, 2017, the Company sold 2,750,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of $15.25 per share pursuant to an underwritten public offering. On May 30, 2017, the Company sold an additional 412,500 shares of Common Stock at $15.25 per share pursuant to the exercise in full of an option received in connection with the public offering. The combined gross proceeds of the two sales was approximately $48.2 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

The Company filed a prospectus to issue and sell up to $150 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2016 ATM Offering") through the sales agents named in the prospectus. The Company intends to use any proceeds from the 2016 ATM Offering to repay outstanding amounts under our existing senior secured revolving credit facility and for other general corporate purposes, which includes making investments in accordance with the Company's investment objectives. Through September 30, 2017, the Company cumulatively sold 3.4 million shares of common stock through the ATM Offering and collected net proceeds of approximately $51.0 million.

On December 2, 2016, the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214531) (the “mShares Registration Statement”) was declared effective by the SEC. The mShares Registration Statement allows us to offer up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (“mShares”), par value $0.01 per share (the “mShares Offering”). The mShares are being offered by PCS on a "reasonable best efforts" basis. The price per mShare is $1,000. Each mShare ranks senior to Common Stock and on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividend rights and carries a cumulative annual dividend of 5.75% per annum. Beginning one year from the date of original issuance of each mShare, and on each one year anniversary thereafter, the dividend rate increases by 0.25% per annum, up to a maximum of 7.5% per annum. Dividends are payable monthly as declared by the Company’s board of directors and begin accruing on the date of issuance. The redemption schedule of the mShares allows redemptions at the option of the holder from the date of issuance of the Preferred Stock through the first year subject to a 2% redemption fee. After year one, the redemption fee decreases to 1% and after year two there is no redemption fee. Any redeemed mShares are entitled to any accrued but unpaid dividends at the time of redemption and any redemptions may be in cash or Common Stock, at the Company’s discretion. The Company intends to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the mShares Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

As of September 30, 2017, offering costs specifically identifiable to mShares Offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, totaled approximately $0.6 million. These costs are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing. In addition, the costs related to the offering not related to a specific closing transaction totaled approximately $2.2 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company had issued 12,396 mShares and collected net proceeds of approximately $11.8 million after commissions under the mShares Offering. The number of mShares issued was approximately 2.5% of the maximum number of mShares anticipated to be issued under the mShares Offering. Consequently, the Company cumulatively recognized approximately 2.5% of the approximate $2.2 million deferred to date, or approximately $54,000 as a

reduction of stockholders' equity. The remaining balance of offering costs not yet reflected as a reduction of stockholder's equity, approximately $2.1 million are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheet as deferred offering costs at September 30, 2017. The remainder of current and future deferred offering costs related to the mShares Offering will likewise be recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of mShares issued to the maximum number of mShares anticipated to be issued. Offering costs not related to a specific closing transaction are subject to an overall cap of approximately 1.5% (discussed further below) of the total gross proceeds raised during the mShares Offering.

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

The Company's Series A Preferred Stock and mShares are redeemable at the option of the holder in either cash or the Company's Common Stock, at the Company's option. Since the Company controls the form of redemption, it presents its Series A Preferred Stock and mShares as components of permanent rather than temporary or mezzanine equity on its Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Management Agreement entitles the Manager to receive compensation for various services it performs related to acquiring assets and managing properties on the Company's behalf:

The Manager may, in its discretion, forfeit some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees for properties owned by the Company. The forfeited fees are converted at the time of forfeiture into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manger only in the event of a sales transaction, and whereby the Company’s capital contributions for the property being sold exceed a 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle.

As of July 1, 2017, the Manager reduced the loan coordination fee from 1.6% to 0.6% of the amount of assumed, new or incremental debt which leverages acquired real estate assets. In addition, the Manager reinstated a 1% acquisition fee charged on the cost of acquired real estate assets, which had historically been charged prior to its replacement effective January 1, 2016 by the 1.6% loan coordination fee. These changes were put in place to reflect a shift in the efforts of the Manager in property acquisitions.

On May 25, 2017,we closed on the sale of our Enclave at Vista Ridge multifamily community to an unrelated third party. At such date, the Manager collected a cumulative total of approximately $390,000 of contingent fees. The sales transaction, and the fact that the Company’s capital contributions for the Enclave at Vista Ridge property achieved a greater than 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle.

A cumulative total of approximately $5.1 million of combined asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2017 have been forfeited by the Manager. A total of $4.3 million remains contingent and could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.

In addition to property management fees, the Company incurred the following reimbursable on-site personnel salary and related benefits expenses at the properties, which are listed on the Consolidated Statements of Operations:



Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

$	3,199,836	$	2,790,335	$	8,995,087	$	7,670,403

The Manager utilizes its own and its affiliates' personnel to accomplish certain tasks related to raising capital that would typically be performed by third parties, including, but not limited to, legal and marketing functions. As permitted under the Management Agreement, the Manager was reimbursed $324,638 and $356,752 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and PCS was reimbursed $790,804 and $768,869 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These costs are recorded as deferred offering costs until such time as additional closings occur on the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, mShares Offering or the Shelf Offering, at which time they are reclassified on a pro-rata basis as a reduction of offering proceeds within stockholders’ equity.

The Company's Haven 12, Stadium Village, 18 Nineteen, Haven South, Haven 46, Lubbock II, Haven Northgate and Haven Charlotte real estate loans and the Haven Campus Communities' line of credit are supported in part by guaranties of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., our Chief Executive Officer's son, a principal of the borrowers and a related party of the Company under GAAP.

In addition to the fees described above, the Management Agreement also entitles the Manager to other potential fees, including a disposition fee of 1% of the sale price of a real estate asset. The Manager earned disposition fees totaling $1,576,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 on the sale of the Ashford Park, Sandstone Creek and Enclave at Vista Ridge properties, and $390,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 on the sale of the Trail Creek property. These fees are included in the Gain on sale of real estate, net of disposition expenses line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Manager also receives leasing commission fees. Retail leasing commission fees (a) for new retail leases are equal to the greater of (i) $4.00 per square foot, and (ii) 4.0% of the aggregate base rental payments to be made by the tenant for the first 10 years of the original lease term; and (b) for lease renewals are equal to the greater of (i) $2.00 per square foot, and (ii) 2.0% of the aggregate base rental payments to be made by the tenant for the first 10 years of the newly renewed lease term. There are no commissions payable on retail lease renewals thereafter. Office leasing commission fees (a) for new office leases are equal to 50.0% of the first month’s gross rent plus 2.0% of the remaining fixed gross rent on the guaranteed lease term, (b) in the event of co-broker participation in a new lease, the leasing commission determined for a new lease are equal to 150.0% of the first month’s gross rent plus 6% of the remaining fixed gross rent of the guaranteed lease term, and (c) for lease renewals, are equal to 2% of the fixed gross rent of the guaranteed lease term or, in the event of a co-broker, 6% of the fixed gross rent of the guaranteed lease term. Office leasing commission fees may not exceed market rates for office leasing services.

The Company holds a promissory note in the amount of $926,422 due from Preferred Capital Marketing Services, LLC, or PCMS, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NELL Partners.

The Company has extended a revolving line of credit with a maximum borrowing amount of $18.0 million to its Manager.

Restricted Stock Grants

The following annual grants of restricted stock were made to members of the Company's independent directors, as payment of the annual retainer fees. The restricted stock grants for the 2015 and 2016 service years vested (or are scheduled to vest) on a pro-rata basis over the four consecutive 90-day periods following the date of grant.



Service year	Shares	Fair value per share		Total compensation cost
2015	30,133	$	10.62	$	320,012
2016	30,990	$	13.23	$	409,998
2017	24,408	$	14.75	$	360,018

Class B OP Units

On January 2, 2015, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 176,835 Class B Units of the Operating Partnership, or Class B OP Units, for service to be rendered during 2015. On January 4, 2016, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 265,931 Class B OP Units for service to be rendered during 2016, 2017 and 2018. On January 3, 2017, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 286,392 Class B OP Units for service to be rendered during 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Prior to January 4, 2016, the Class B Units became Vested Class B Units at the Initial Valuation Date, which was generally one year from the date of grant. Beginning with the 2016 grant, certain Class B Units vest in three equal consecutive one-year tranches from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested Class B Units become earned Class B Units and automatically convert into Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (as long as the capital accounts have achieved economic equivalence), which are henceforth entitled to distributions from the Operating Partnership and become exchangeable for Common Stock on a one-to-one basis at the option of the holder. Vested Class B Units may become Earned Class B Units on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested Class B Units that do not become Earned Class B Units on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested Class B Units become Earned Class B Units or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service 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.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2017

Because of the market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, a Monte Carlo simulation was utilized to calculate the total fair values, which will be amortized as compensation expense over the one-year periods beginning on the grant dates through the Initial Valuation Dates. On January 2, 2016, the 176,835 outstanding Class B Units for 2015 became fully vested and earned and automatically converted to Class A Units of the Operating Partnership. On January 4, 2017, all of the 265,931 Class B Units granted on January 4, 2016 became earned and 206,534 automatically vested and converted to Class A Units. Of the remaining earned Class B Units, 29,699 will vest and automatically convert to Class A Units on January 4, 2018 and the final 29,698 earned Class B Units will vest and automatically convert to Class A Units on January 4, 2019, assuming each grantee fulfills the requisite service requirement.

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



Grant dates	1/3/2017			1/4/2016
Stock price	$	14.79		$	12.88
Dividend yield	5.95		%	5.98		%
Expected volatility	26.4		%	26.10		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.91		%	2.81		%

Number of Units granted:
One year vesting period	198,184			176,835
Three year vesting period	88,208			89,096
	286,392			265,931

Calculated fair value per Unit	$	11.92		$	10.03

Total fair value of Units	$	3,413,793		$	2,667,288

Target market threshold increase	$	4,598,624		$	3,549,000

The expected dividend yield assumptions were derived from the Company’s closing prices of the Common Stock on the grant dates and the projected future quarterly dividend payments per share of $0.22 for the 2017 awards and $0.1925 for the 2016 awards.

For the 2017 and 2016 awards, the Company's own stock price history was utilized as the basis for deriving the expected volatility assumption.

The risk-free rate assumptions were obtained from the Federal Reserve yield table and were calculated as the interpolated rate between the 20 and 30 year yield percentages on U. S. Treasury securities on the grant dates.

Since the Class B OP 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.

Restricted Stock Units

On January 3, 2017, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 26,900 restricted stock units, or RSUs, for service to be rendered during 2017, 2018 and 2019. The RSUs vest in three equal consecutive one-year tranches from the date of grant. For each grant, on the Initial Valuation Date, the market capitalization of the number of shares of Common Stock at the date of grant is compared to the market capitalization of the same number of shares of Common Stock at the Initial Valuation Date. If the market capitalization measure results in an increase which exceeds the target market threshold, the Vested RSUs become earned RSUs and automatically convert into Common Stock on a one-to-one basis. Vested RSUs may become Earned RSUs on a pro-rata basis should the result of the market capitalization test be an increase of less than the target market threshold. Any Vested RSUs that do not become Earned RSUs on the Initial Valuation Date are subsequently remeasured on a quarterly basis until such time as all Vested RSUs become Earned RSUs or are forfeited due to termination of continuous service 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 RSUs to qualify to become fully Earned RSUs.

Because RSUs are valued using the identical market condition vesting requirement that determines the transition of the Vested Class B Units to Earned Class B Units, the same valuation assumptions and Monte Carlo result of $11.92 per RSU were utilized to calculate the total fair value of the RSUs of $320,648. Grants of RSUs, net of forfeitures, are amortized as compensation expense

over the three one-year periods ending on each of January 2, 2018, 2019 and 2020. As of September 30, 2017, a total of 3,200 RSUs had been forfeited.

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

The mortgage note secured by our Independence Square property is a seven year term with an anticipated repayment date of September 1, 2022. If the Company elects not to pay its principal balance at the anticipated repayment date, the term will be extended for an additional five years, maturing on September 1, 2027. The interest rate from September 1, 2022 to September 1, 2027 will be the greater of (i) the Initial Interest Rate of 3.93% plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the seven year U.S. treasury security rate plus approximately 400 basis points.

The mortgage note secured by our Royal Lakes Marketplace property has a maximum commitment of $11,050,000. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has an outstanding principal balance of $9.7 million on this loan. Additional advances of the mortgage commitment will be drawn as the Company achieves incremental leasing benchmarks specified under the loan agreement. This mortgage has a variable interest of 1 Month LIBOR plus 250 basis points, which was 3.74% as of September 30, 2017.

The mortgage note secured by our Champions Village property has a maximum commitment of $34.16 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has an outstanding principal balance of $27.4 million. Additional advances of the mortgage commitment will

be drawn as the Company achieves leasing activity. Additional advances are available through October 2019. This mortgage note has a variable interest of the greater of (i) 3.25% or (ii) the sum of the 3.00% plus the LIBOR Rate, which was 4.24% as of September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 9.0 years.

Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased to $150,000,000 pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended effective December 27, 2016, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum and matures on August 5, 2019, with an option to extend the maturity date to August 5, 2020, subject to certain conditions described therein. The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Line of Credit was 4.51% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The Revolving Line of Credit also bears a commitment fee on the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Line of Credit of 0.35% per annum.

On January 5, 2016, we entered into a $35.0 million term loan with KeyBank under the Credit Facility, or the 2016 Term Loan,

to partially finance the acquisition of the Baldwin Park multifamily community. The Term Loan accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. On August 5, 2016, the Company repaid the 2016 Term Loan in full.

On May 26, 2016, the Company entered into a $11.0 million interim term loan with KeyBank, or the Interim Term Loan, to partially finance the acquisition of Anderson Central, a grocery-anchored shopping center located in Anderson, South Carolina. The Interim Term Loan accrues interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and the maturity date was extended to November 21, 2017 during the third quarter 2017. The weighted average interest rate for the Interim Term Loan was 3.66% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The amount of dividends that may be paid out by the Company is restricted to a maximum of 95% of AFFO for the trailing rolling four quarters without the lender's consent; solely for purposes of this covenant, AFFO is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, plus reserves for capital expenditures, less normally recurring capital expenditures, less consolidated interest expense.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Revolving Line of Credit, as shown in the following table:



Covenant ⁽¹⁾	Requirement		Result

Loan fees and closing costs for the mortgage debt on the Company's properties are amortized utilizing the effective interest rate method over the lives of the loans.

Acquisition Facility

On February 28, 2017, the Company entered into a credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with Freddie Mac through KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The purpose of the Acquisition Facility is to finance acquisitions of multifamily communities and student housing communities. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility may be increased at the Company's request up to $300 million at any time prior to March 1, 2021. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein. At September 30, 2017, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the establishment of the Acquisition Facility were approximately $0.3 million, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 4.5 years. As of September 30, 2017, the Acquisition Facility financed the SoL student housing property and the Retreat at Greystone and Aldridge at Town Village multifamily communities, totaling approximately $110.7 million.

10. Income Taxes

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT effective with its tax year ended December 31, 2011, and therefore, the Company will not be subject to federal and state income taxes after this effective date, so long as it distributes 100% of the Company's annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to its shareholders. For the period preceding this election date, the Company's operations resulted in a tax loss. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had deferred federal and state tax assets totaling approximately $298,100, none of which were based upon tax positions deemed to be uncertain. These deferred tax assets will most likely not be used since the Company elected REIT status; therefore, management has determined that a 100% valuation allowance is appropriate as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a payment guaranty in support of its Manager's new eleven-year office lease, which began on October 9, 2014. As of September 30, 2017, the amount guarantied by the Company was $6.7 million and is reduced by $619,304 per lease year over the term of the lease.

Certain officers and employees of the Manager have been assigned company credit cards. As of September 30, 2017, the Company guarantied up to $640,000 on these credit cards.

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

A total of approximately $5.1 million of asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2017 have been forfeited by the Manager. The forfeited fees are converted at the time of forfeiture into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manger only in the event of a sales transaction, and whereby the Company’s capital contributions for the property being sold exceed a 7% annual rate of return. The Company will recognize in future periods to the extent, if any, it determines that the sales transaction is probable, and that the estimated net sale proceeds would exceed the annual rate of return hurdle. As of September 30, 2017, a total of $4.3 million remains contingent and could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.

At September 30, 2017, the Company had unfunded balances on its real estate loan portfolio of approximately $92.7 million.

12. Segment Information

The Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker, or CODM, evaluates the performance of the Company's business operations and allocates financial and other resources by assessing the financial results and outlook for future performance across four distinct segments: multifamily communities, real estate related financing, New Market Properties and Preferred Office Properties.

Multifamily Communities - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned residential multifamily communities and student housing properties.

Financing - consists of the Company's portfolio of real estate loans, bridge loans, and other instruments deployed by the Company to partially finance the development, construction, and prestabilization carrying costs of new multifamily communities and other real estate and real estate related assets. Excluded from the financing segment are financial results of the Company's Dawson Marketplace grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loan.

New Market Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers, which are owned by New Market Properties, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as well as the financial results from the Company's grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loans.

Preferred Office Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of office buildings.

September 30, 2017

The CODM monitors net operating income (“NOI”) on a segment and a consolidated basis as a key performance measure for its operating segments. NOI is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate assets plus interest income from its loan portfolio less total property operating and maintenance expenses, property management fees, real estate taxes, property insurance, and general and administrative expenses. The CODM uses NOI as a measure of operating performance because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs, acquisition expenses, and other expenses generally incurred at the corporate level.

The following tables present the Company's assets, revenues, and NOI results by reportable segment, as well as a reconciliation from NOI to net income (loss). The assets attributable to 'Other' primarily consist of deferred offering costs recorded but not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity and cash balances at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

The Company also recognized second-generation capital expenditures within its office building portfolio of $25,883 for Brookwood Center and $78,593 for Galleria 75 during the third quarter 2017. Second-generation capital expenditures exclude those expenditures made in our office building portfolio (i) to lease space to "first generation" tenants (i.e. leasing capital for existing vacancies and known move-outs at the time of acquisition), (ii) to bring recently acquired properties up to our Class A ownership standards (and which amounts were underwritten into the total investment at the time of acquisition), (iii) for property re-developments and repositionings and (iv) for building improvements that are recoverable from future operating cost savings.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has deferred a total of $23.8 million of such improvements. The remaining balance to be recognized is approximately $23.4 million which is included in the deferred revenues line on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2017. These total costs will be amortized over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements or the individual lease terms. The Company recorded noncash revenue of approximately $287,000 and $457,000 for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017.

^(A) The Company's outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (901,195 and 886,168 Units at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively) contain rights to distributions in the same amount per unit as for dividends declared on the Company's Common Stock. The impact of the Class A Unit distributions on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the Class A Units based on dividends declared and the Class A Units' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

^(B)The Company’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding accrue dividends at an annual rate of 6% of the stated value of $1,000 per share, payable monthly. The Company had 1,115,616 and 802,032 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company's shares of Series M preferred stock, or mshares, accrue dividends at an escalating rate of 5.75% in year one to 7.5% in year eight and thereafter. The Company had 12,396 mshares outstanding at September 30, 2017.

^(C) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (18,306 and 23,247 shares of Common Stock at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively) contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings. Given the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the dividends declared for that period are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock since the unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities.

^(D) Potential dilution from (i) warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Series A Preferred Stock offerings that are potentially exercisable into 16,931,180 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 345,789 Class B Units; (iii) 18,306 shares of unvested restricted common stock; and (iv) 23,700 outstanding Restricted Stock Units are excluded from the diluted shares calculations because the effect was antidilutive. Class A Units were excluded from the denominator because earnings were allocated to non-controlling interests in the calculation of the numerator.

Material nonrecurring pro forma adjustments which were directly attributable to these business combinations included the pro forma removal of all acquisition costs incurred from the actual historical periods of recognition of approximately $1.3 million and $6.8 million for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016. Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standard Update 2017-01, which requires acquisition costs for asset acquisitions to be capitalized and and amortized rather than expensed as incurred. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what historical performance would have been had these business combinations been effective as of the hypothetical acquisition dates listed above, nor should they be interpreted as expectations of future results.

15. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset or liability is exchanged between market participants in an orderly transaction at the reporting date. The Company’s cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable and payables and accrued expenses all approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

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

⁽¹⁾ The carrying value of real estate assets includes the Company's balance of the Palisades, Green Park, Encore and Stadium Village real estate loans, which includes the amounts funded by unrelated participants. The loan participation obligations are the amounts due to the participants under these arrangements. Accrued interest included in the carrying values of the Company's real estate loans was approximately $27.7 million and $21.9 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The fair value of the real estate loans within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of estimates of the fair value of the notes, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the notes until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for notes of similar type and duration. The fair values also contain a separately-calculated estimate of any applicable additional interest payment due the Company at the maturity date of the loan, based on the outstanding loan balances at September 30, 2017, discounted to the reporting date utilizing a discount rate believed to be appropriate for multifamily development projects.

The fair values of the fixed rate mortgages on the Company’s properties were developed using market quotes of the fixed rate yield index and spread for four, five, seven, ten and 35 year notes as of the reporting date. The present values of the cash flows were calculated using the original interest rate in place on the fixed rate mortgages and again at the current market rate. The difference between the two results was applied as a fair market adjustment to the carrying value of the mortgages.

16. Subsequent Events

Between October 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017, the Company issued 31,122 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $28.0 million after commissions and fees under its $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. Between October 1, 2017 and October 31, 2017, the Company issued 841 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $816,000 after commissions and fees under the mShares offering.

On October 23, 2017 the Company declared a quarterly dividend on its Common Stock of $0.25 per share, payable on January 16, 2018 to stockholders of record on December 15, 2017.

On October 27, 2017, the Company acquired a 98% interest in a joint venture which owns the Stadium Village student housing property in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company's real estate loan with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $13.3 million was repaid in conjunction with this transaction.

On October 27, 2017, the Company's real estate loan supporting the 18 Nineteen property in Lubbock, Texas with an outstanding principal amount of approximately $15.6 million was repaid in full. The 18 Nineteen property was sold to a third party on October 19, 2017.

On October 31, 2017, the Company refinanced the mortgage on the Aldridge at Town Village multifamily community from its Acquisition Facility into a permanent mortgage with a principal amount of $37.9 million and which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.19% per annum.

On October 31, 2017, the Company refinanced the mortgage on the Summit Crossing multifamily community with a remaining principal amount of $24.7 million into a new mortgage of $39.1 million which bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.99% per annum.

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

Significant Developments

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we acquired eight multifamily communities, six grocery-anchored shopping centers and one student housing property. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was approximately $538.5 million.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we sold our Sandstone Creek, Ashford Park and Enclave at Vista Ridge multifamily communities located in Kansas City, Kansas, Atlanta, Georgia and Dallas, Texas respectively, and collected aggregate gross proceeds of $157.6 million. We realized an aggregate gain on the sale of these properties of approximately $37.6 million and an average total return on these properties of approximately 26.5%.

The proceeds from the sale of Ashford Park were deposited into a 1031 exchange account and were used to partially finance the acquisitions of Founders Village, Retreat at Greystone and Castleberry-Southard. The 1031 mechanism allowed us to defer the tax liability on the sale of this asset and more efficiently redeploy our capital.

As of September 30, 2017, we had cumulatively issued 989,408 units and collected net proceeds of approximately $891.2 million from our offering of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock from our Primary Series A Offering and Follow-on Series A Offering. As of September 30, 2017, we had cumulatively issued 151,923 units and collected net proceeds of approximately $136.5 million from our offerings of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock from our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. As of September 30, 2017, we had cumulatively issued 12,396 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and and collected net proceeds of approximately $11.8 million from our mShares Offering. Our Follow-On Series A Offering sold its entire allotment of $900 million Units and was closed on February 14, 2017. Our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our new equity offerings are discussed in detail in the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

On May 12, 2017, we issued 2,750,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, at a public offering price of $15.25 per share pursuant to an underwritten public offering. On May 30, 2017, we sold an additional 412,500 shares of Common Stock at $15.25 per share pursuant to the underwriters' exercise in full of an option received in connection with the public offering. The combined gross proceeds of the two sales was approximately $48.2 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we sold 1.7 million shares of Common Stock pursuant to our "at the market" offering (the "2016 ATM Offering"), resulting in aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $28.6 million.

In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we issued approximately 3.4 million shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants issued in our offerings of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $43.4 million from those exercises.

General

The following discussion and analysis provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our results of operations and financial position. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview

We are an externally managed Maryland corporation formed primarily to acquire and operate multifamily properties in select targeted markets throughout the United States. As part of our business strategy, we may enter into forward purchase contracts or purchase options for to-be-built multifamily communities and we may make real estate related loans, provide deposit arrangements, or provide performance assurances, as may be necessary or appropriate, in connection with the development of multifamily communities and other properties. As a secondary strategy, we also may acquire or originate senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loan investments secured by interests in multifamily properties, membership or partnership interests

in multifamily properties and other multifamily related assets and invest a lesser portion of our assets in other real estate related investments, including other income-producing property types, senior mortgage loans, subordinate loans or real estate loans secured by interests in other income-producing property types, or membership or partnership interests in other income-producing property types as determined by Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or our Manager, as appropriate for us. Our investment guidelines limit our investment in these non-multifamily assets to 20% of our assets, subject to increases unanimously approved by our board of directors. On December 12, 2016, our board of directors temporarily suspended this 20% limit. Our board of directors will review and discuss the reinstatement of the 20% limit following a spin-off, sale or distribution of our grocery-anchored shopping centers, if any such transaction occurs.

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

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

We elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code effective with our tax year ended December 31, 2011. We also intend to operate our business in a manner that will permit us to maintain our status as a REIT and our exemption from registration under the Investment Company Act. We have and will continue to conduct substantially all of our operations through our Operating Partnership in which we owned an approximate 97.3% interest as of September 30, 2017. New Market Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Preferred Office Properties, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of office buildings. Preferred Campus Communities, LLC owns and conducts the business of our portfolio of off-campus student housing communities. Each of these entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership,

Industry Outlook

We believe continued, albeit potentially sporadic, improvement in the United States' economy will continue for 2017, with continued job growth and improvements in consumer confidence. The new presidential administration certainly creates more uncertainty in the direction and trajectory of economic growth. We believe a growing economy, improved job market and increased consumer confidence should help create favorable conditions for the multifamily sector. If the economy continues to improve, we expect current occupancy rates generally to remain stable, on an annual basis, as the current level of occupancy nationwide will be difficult to measurably improve upon.

The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing nationwide in recent years, may be showing signs of declining going forward. The new supply coming on line to date has been generally in line with demand in most of our markets. Nationally, new multifamily construction is currently at or above average historical levels in most markets. Even with the increase in new supply of multifamily properties, recent job growth and demographic trends have led to reasonable levels of absorption in most of our markets, which in many of our markets has offset or exceeded the new supply coming online. The absorption rate has led to generally stable occupancy rates with increases in rental rates in most of our markets. We believe the supply of new multifamily construction will not increase dramatically as the constraints in the market (including availability of quality sites and the difficult permitting and entitlement process) will constrain further increases in multifamily supply. It may even be the case that new supply peaks in 2017 and these constraints cause a decline in new multifamily “starts” in 2018 and 2019. As an offset, the new presidential administration may loosen banking regulation standards, which could cause an increase in available capital for new construction. Any relaxing of these regulations could lead to more capital for new multifamily development and an increase in supply.

We believe that a potential reversal in the recent trend of declining cap rates in the multifamily sector may be in the offing. The rising cost of private capital, less debt capital available from traditional commercial banks for real estate loans and a softening of the market in some “Gateway” cities have all put pressure on the pricing dynamic in multifamily transactions. This could lead to an increase in capitalization rates and a softening price environment, and if this were to occur, then our pipeline of candidate multifamily property acquisitions with returns meeting our investment objectives may expand.

We believe that the grocery-anchored shopping center sector benefits from many of the same improving metrics as the

multifamily sector, namely improved economy and job and wage growth. More specifically, the types of centers we own and plan to acquire are primarily occupied by grocery stores, service uses, medical providers and restaurants. We believe that these businesses are significantly less impacted by e-commerce than some other retail businesses, and that grocery anchors typically generate repeat trips to the center. We expect that improving macroeconomic conditions, coupled with continued population growth in the suburban markets where our retail properties are located, will create favorable conditions for grocery shopping and other uses provided by grocery-anchored shopping centers. With moderate supply growth following a period of historically low retail construction starts, we believe our centers, which are all generally located in Sun Belt markets, are well positioned to have solid operating fundamentals.

The debt market for our grocery-anchored shopping center assets remains strong. Life insurance companies have continued to demonstrate a specific interest in our strategy and we continue to see new participants in the market. Spreads and rates are generally comparable or even more favorable to those for multifamily properties, however, the leverage levels on the retail assets may be lower than the levels on our multifamily assets. During the third quarter we have seen cap rate compression on acquisitions we have been pursuing inside our grocery anchored strategy. We believe, notwithstanding the increase in longer-term U.S. Treasury yields since the 2016 election, that the overall capital markets are pricing in stronger rent growth and higher long term occupancy levels, especially so in the grocery-anchored sector. In addition, due to some investor concern over retail in general, that allocation of capital into retail has been largely focused away from other retail product types and into the grocery-anchored sector. The result of this is that increased capital flows moving into the grocery-anchored sector has investors willing to accept lower yields to do so, thus putting upward pressure on prices for attractive acquisition opportunities inside our grocery-anchored strategy.

On August 28, 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods for $13.7 billion. We believe this to be a net positive to our grocery- anchored strategy in that it demonstrates the importance of the “brick and mortar” delivery model for the grocery sector. Amazon is widely regarded as one of the most technically advanced and savvy retailers and its $13.7 billion cash investment in a brick and mortar distribution network we believe validates the unique challenges of trying to execute a pure on-line strategy for grocery delivery. Most of the growth in e-commerce around grocers is focused on “the last mile” or getting the goods in the stores to the homes of the customer. Some of our grocers have partnered with third parties (Publix/Instacart) or formulated internal solutions (Walmart/in-store pickup and Kroger/ClickList) to help advance this segment of their business. We believe that the traditional grocers must be proactive in pursuing on-line solutions in combination with their bricks and mortar physical stores. We do believe that this transaction, and the impacts from it, could result in increased margin pressure on grocers and will likely accelerate the difficulties of the weaker grocery chains. Furthermore this could lead to increased mergers and acquisitions activity in the grocery sector which could also result in store closings or store downsizings due to store trade area overlap.

Favorable U.S. Treasury yields and competitive lender spreads have created a generally favorable borrowing environment for multifamily owners and developers. Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, fueled in part by the new US President and how his policies may affect domestic and international markets, investors have been wary in their approach to debt markets. Recent US bond market movements have moderated and spreads from the government-sponsored entity, or GSE, lenders have been relatively stable to slightly lower. Other lenders in the market have had generally stable rates as well. As the year comes to a close, we may well see a decline in spreads as the investment community becomes more comfortable with the direction of the market and the US economy. Even with the recent volatility in U.S. Treasury rates, we expect the market to continue to remain favorable for financing multifamily communities, as the equity and debt markets have generally continued to view the U.S. multifamily sector as a desirable investment. Lending by GSEs could be limited by caps imposed by the Federal Housing and Finance Association, which could lead to higher lending costs, although we expect such higher costs to be offset by increased lending activity by other market participants; however, such other market participants may have increased costs and stricter underwriting criteria.

We believe the combination of a difficult regulatory environment and high underwriting standards for commercial banks will continue to create a choppy market for new construction financing. In addition, we believe the continued hesitance among many prospective homebuyers to believe the net benefits of home ownership are greater than the benefit of the flexibility offered through renting will continue to work in the existing multifamily sector's favor. We also believe there will be a continued boost to demand for multifamily rental housing due to the ongoing entry of the “millennial” generation, the sons and daughters of the baby-boom generation, into the workforce. This generation has a higher statistical propensity to rent their home and stay a renter deeper into their life-cycle, resulting in an increase in demand for rental housing. This combination of factors should generally result in gradual increases in market rents, lower concessions and opportunities for increases in ancillary fee income.

Critical Accounting Policies

In addition to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, below is a discussion of the accounting policies that management believes are critical. We consider these policies critical because they involve significant management judgments, assumptions and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain and because they are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

Real Estate

Cost Capitalization. Investments in real estate properties are carried at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 30 to 50 years for buildings, 5 to 20 years for building and land improvements and 5 to 10 years for computers, furniture, fixtures and equipment. Acquisition costs are generally expensed as incurred for transactions that are deemed to be business combinations. ASU 2017-01, which was released in January 2017, changes the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. We adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017 and believe our future acquisitions of multifamily communities, office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers, and student housing communities will generally qualify as asset acquisitions. Pursuant to ASU 2017-01, certain qualifying acquisition costs will be capitalized and amortized rather than expensed as incurred.

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

Real Estate Acquisition Valuation. We generally recorded the acquisition of income-producing real estate as a business combination through December 31, 2016. In conjunction with our adoption of ASU 2017-01, future acquisitions will require judgment to properly classify these acquisitions as asset acquisitions or business acquisitions.

All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their acquisition-date fair values.

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

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

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

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

corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases, taking into consideration the probability of renewals for any below-market leases. The capitalized above-market leases and in place leases are included in the acquired intangible assets line of the consolidated balance sheets. Both above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases for office buildings. The amortization period for grocery-anchored shopping center leases is the remaining lease term plus any below market probable renewal options.

Estimating the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities requires us to make significant assumptions to estimate market lease rates, property-operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, the number of years the property will be held for investment and market interest rates. The use of different assumptions would result in variations of the values of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact their subsequent amortization and ultimately our net income.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-13 ("ASU 2016-13"), Financial Instruments—Credit Losses

the pending guidance but does not believe the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have a material impact on its results of operations or financial condition, since the Company has not yet experienced a credit loss related to any of its financial instruments.

Funds from operations ("FFO") for the three months ended September 30, 2016 reflect acquisition-related costs of approximately $1.4 million, or $0.05 per share. In 2017, the majority of these type of costs are deferred and amortized over the life of the acquired assets (see "2017 Guidance" section). Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders ("Core FFO") excludes acquisition costs and certain other costs not representative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders ("AFFO") removes significant non-cash revenues and expenses from our Core FFO results.


•	For the third quarter 2017, our Core FFO payout ratio to our Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 64.5% and our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 88.2%. ⁽¹⁾


•	For the third quarter 2017, our Core FFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our Series A Preferred Stockholders was approximately 55.9% and our AFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our Series A Preferred Stockholders was approximately 63.4%. ⁽¹⁾

•

As of September 30, 2017, our total assets were approximately $2.9 billion compared to approximately $2.1 billion as of September 30, 2016, an increase of approximately $0.8 billion, or approximately 37.9%. This growth was driven primarily by the net addition of 15 real estate properties and an increase of approximately $104.3 million of the funded amount of our real estate loan investment portfolio since September 30, 2016.


•	As of September 30, 2017, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 5.9 years, which we believe is among the youngest in the multifamily REIT industry.


•	At September 30, 2017, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 54.3%.


•	Cash flow from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $28.1 million, an increase of approximately $7.0 million, or 33.8%, compared to approximately $21 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

•

We sustained damages at our Stone Creek multifamily community from Hurricane Harvey in the third quarter. The resulting impact required us to write off approximately $6.9 million in depreciated real estate assets. We expect our property insurance to cover all losses. Our income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 was impacted by approximately $217,000 for our insurance deductible, lost rent, and other related costs. Hurricane Irma also impacted our portfolio of multifamily and grocery-anchored shopping center properties in Florida. We anticipate costs associated with this storm to total approximately $300,000 to $500,000, which will be recognized during the fourth quarter 2017 and beyond.

⁽¹⁾We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to Common Stockholders and Unitholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to Unitholders to Core FFO or AFFO, respectively. We calculate the Core FFO and AFFO payout ratios to Series A Preferred Stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and Core FFO or AFFO, respectively. Since our operations resulted in a net loss from continuing operations for the periods presented, a payout ratio based on net loss is not calculable. See Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures later within this Results of Operations discussion.

The operational highlights of our third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2017 included:

On April 20, 2017, we closed on a loan investment of up to approximately $31.5 million to acquire a 6.5 acre site located in San Jose, California that is currently zoned to provide for up to 551 multifamily units and approximately 37,000 square feet of commercial space. On June 5, 2017, we closed on a loan investment of up to approximately $2.4 million to acquire a 26 acre site located in Nashville, Tennessee in support of a proposed 301 unit multifamily community.


•	On June 15, 2017, we refinanced the existing $61.75 million mortgage on our 525 Avalon multifamily community which bore interest at a variable rate of 1 Month LIBOR plus 200 basis points per annum and the secondary financing note of $3.25 million which bore interest at a variable rate of 1 Month LIBOR plus 1100 basis points per annum (both of which were to

mature in less than two years) into a single mortgage of $67.38 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.98% per annum and matures in seven years.


•	On June 22, 2017, we refinanced the existing $16.3 million mortgage on our Stone Creek multifamily community which bore interest at a fixed 3.75% rate per annum and was 29 years from maturity into a mortgage of $20.6 million, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.22% per annum and matures in 35 years.

Real Estate Loan Investments

Certain real estate loan investments include limited purchase options and additional amounts of accrued interest, which becomes due in cash to us on the earliest to occur of: (i) the maturity of the loan, (ii) any uncured event of default as defined in the associated loan agreement, (iii) the sale of the project or the refinancing of the loan (other than a refinancing loan by us or one of our affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan. There are no contingent events that are necessary to occur for us to realize the additional interest amounts. We hold options, but not obligations, to purchase certain of the properties which are partially financed by our real estate loans, as shown in the table below. The option purchase prices are negotiated at the time of the loan closing and are to be calculated based upon market cap rates at the time of exercise of the purchase option, with discounts ranging from between 15 and 60 basis points, depending on the loan.

Recent acquisitions

Our acquisitions of real estate assets during 2017 (described previously) were the primary drivers behind our increases in rental and property revenues and property operating expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016.

Rental Revenues

Rental revenue increased due primarily to properties acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2017 versus 2016					2017 versus 2016
	Increase					Increase
Rental revenues	Amount (rounded to 000s):			Percent of increase		Amount (rounded to 000s):			Percent of increase
Multifamily and student housing communities:
Acquired during 2016-2017	$	5,412,000		42.4	%	$	22,097,000		46.9	%
Acquired during 2011-2015	1,305,000			10.2	%	348,000			0.7	%
Properties sold	(3,411,000		)	(26.7	)%	(8,829,000		)	(18.7	)%
New Market Properties	3,285,000			25.8	%	14,249,000			30.2	%
Preferred Office Properties	6,162,000			48.3	%	19,270,000			40.9	%

Total	$	12,753,000		100.0	%	$	47,135,000		100.0	%

Increases in occupancy rates and in percentages of leased space and rent growth are the primary drivers of increases in rental revenue from our owned properties. 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 and tenants for items such as utilities, application fees, lease termination fees, common area maintenance reimbursements and late charges. The increases in other property revenues for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016 were similarly due to the acquisitions listed above.

Interest income from our real estate loan investments increased substantially for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016, primarily due to the addition of fourteen real estate loan investments and bridge loans since September 30, 2016. Also contributing to the increases in interest income were higher loan balances on real estate loans, from accumulating draws and loan balances as the underlying projects progressed toward completion. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loans and bridge loans increased to approximately $411.3 million at September 30, 2017 from $307 million at September 30, 2016.

We recorded interest income and other revenue from these instruments as presented in Note 4 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

Property operating and maintenance expense

Expenses to operate and maintain our properties rose primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by property acquisitions since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table. The primary components of operating and maintenance expense are utilities, property repairs, and landscaping costs. The expenses incurred for property repairs and, to a lesser extent, utilities could generally be expected to increase gradually over time as the buildings and properties age. Utility costs may generally be expected to increase in future periods as rate increases from providing carriers are passed on to our residents and tenants.

Total	$	2,396,000		100.0	%	$	7,754,000		100.0	%

Property salary and benefits reimbursement to related party

We recorded property salary and benefits expense for individuals who handle the on-site management, operations and maintenance of our properties. These costs increased primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by additional personnel necessary to manage and operate properties acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table.



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2017 versus 2016					2017 versus 2016

Total	$	594,000		100.0	%	$	1,961,000		100.0	%

Property management fees

We pay a fee for property management services to our Manager in an amount of 4% of gross property revenues as compensation for services such as rental, leasing, operation and management of our multifamily communities and the supervision of any subcontractors; for grocery-anchored shopping center assets, property management fees are generally 4% of gross property revenues, of which generally 3.5% is paid to a third party management company. Property management fees for office building assets are within the range of 2.0% to 2.75% of gross property revenues, of which 1.5% to 2.25% is paid to a third party management company. The increases were primarily due to properties acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2017 versus 2016					2017 versus 2016

Total	$	329,000		100.0	%	$	1,707,000		100.0	%

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 properties. Real estate taxes rose primarily due to the incremental costs brought on by properties acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2017 versus 2016					2017 versus 2016
	Increase					Increase
Real estate taxes	Amount (rounded to 000s):			Percent of increase		Amount (rounded to 000s):			Percent of increase

Acquired during 2011-2015	590,000			20.2	%	(42,000		)	(0.5	)%
Properties sold	(553,000		)	(19.0	)%	(1,397,000		)	(17.8	)%
New Market Properties	1,083,000			37.1	%	3,514,000			44.9	%
Preferred Office Properties	817,000			28.1	%	2,481,000			31.6	%

Total	$	2,917,000		100.0	%	$	7,833,000		100.0	%

We generally expect the assessed values of our properties to rise over time, owing to our expectation of improving market conditions, as well as pressure on municipalities to raise revenues.

General and Administrative

The increase was primarily due to higher franchise and net worth taxes, and administrative expenses related to the properties acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2017 versus 2016					2017 versus 2016

Total	$	557,000		100.0	%	$	1,605,000		100.0	%

Equity compensation to directors and executives

Expenses recorded for equity compensation awards increased primarily due to expansions of Class B Unit awards in 2017, the details of which are presented in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Depreciation and amortization

The net increases in depreciation and amortization were driven by:

Total	$	7,239,000		100.0	%	$	27,206,000		100.0	%

Acquisition and pursuit costs and acquisition fees to related parties

The decrease in acquisition fees during the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 versus 2016 was due to the adoption of ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, pursuant to which we began capitalizing and amortizing asset acquisition costs.

Asset management fees and general and administrative fees to related party

Monthly asset management fees are equal to one-twelfth of 0.50% of the total book value of assets, as adjusted. General and administrative expense fees are equal to 2% of the monthly gross revenues of the Company. Both are calculated as prescribed by the Management Agreement and are paid monthly to our Manager. These fees rose primarily due to the incremental assets and revenues

brought on by office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers and multifamily communities acquired since September 30, 2016, as shown in the following tables:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,

Contingent asset management and general and administrative expense fees

On May 25, 2017,we closed on the sale of our Enclave at Vista Ridge multifamily community to an unrelated third party. At such date, the Manager collected a cumulative total of approximately $390,000 of contingent fees. The sales transaction, and the fact that the Company’s capital contributions for the Enclave at Vista Ridge property achieved a greater than 7% annual rate of return, triggered the fees to become immediately due and payable to the Manager at the closing of the sale transaction.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

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

Analysts, managers and investors make certain adjustments to reported net income amounts under U.S. GAAP in order to better assess these vehicles’ operating results. FFO is one of the most commonly utilized Non-GAAP measures currently in practice. In its 2002 “White Paper on Funds From Operations,” which was most recently revised in 2012, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, standardized the definition of how Net income/loss should be adjusted to arrive at FFO, in the interests of uniformity and comparability.

The NAREIT definition of FFO (and the one reported by the Company) is:

Net income/loss:


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


•	plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and deferred leasing costs; and


•	after adjustments for the Company's proportionate share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

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

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

Core FFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, which are either not likely to occur on a regular basis or are otherwise not representative of the Company’s ongoing operating performance. For example, the Company incurs substantial costs related to property

acquisitions, which, prior to 2017, were required to be recognized as expenses when they were incurred. The Company added back any such acquisition and pursuit costs, including costs incurred in connection with obtaining short term debt financing for acquisitions and beginning January 1, 2016, amortization of loan coordination fees to FFO in its calculation of Core FFO since such costs are not representative of our operating results. The Company also adds back any costs incurred related to the extension of our management agreement in June 2016 with our Manager, contingent fees paid to our Manager at the time of a property's sale, realized losses on debt extinguishment or refinancing, weather-related property operating losses and any non-cash dividends in this calculation. Core FFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those Core FFO figures reported by other companies.

We utilize Core FFO as a measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies that are not as involved in ongoing acquisition activities. Core FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders.

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

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

Core FFO, plus:

• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• amortization of loan closing costs, excluding costs incurred in connection with obtaining short term financing related to acquisitions;

• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;

• net loan fees received;

• accrued interest income received;

• non-cash dividends on Series M Preferred Stock; and

• amortization of lease inducements;

Less:

• non-cash loan interest income;

• cash paid for loan closing costs;

• amortization of acquired real estate intangible liabilities;

• amortization of straight line rent adjustments and deferred revenues; and

• normally-recurring capital expenditures and capitalized retail direct leasing costs.

AFFO figures reported by us may not be comparable to those AFFO figures reported by other companies. We utilize AFFO as another measure of the operating performance of our portfolio of real estate assets. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other real estate companies. AFFO is a non-GAAP measure that is reconciled to its most comparable GAAP measure, net income/loss available to common stockholders. FFO, Core FFO, and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 include activity for the four multifamily communities and four grocery-anchored shopping centers acquired during the third quarter 2017 only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, the third quarter 2017 period includes a full quarter of activity for the four multifamily communities, three grocery-anchored shopping centers, one student housing property and two office buildings acquired during the fourth quarter of 2016 and first two quarters of 2017. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2016 include activity for the two multifamily communities, one student housing property, one office building and eight grocery-anchored shopping centers only from their respective dates of acquisition during the third quarter 2016.

Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership consisted of a total of 901,195 Class A Units as of September 30, 2017. Included in this total are 419,228 Class A Units which were granted as partial consideration to the seller in conjunction with the seller's contribution to us on February 29, 2016 of the Wade Green grocery-anchored shopping center. The remaining Class A units were awarded primarily to our key executive officers. The Class A Units are apportioned a percentage of our financial results as non-controlling interests. The weighted average ownership percentage of these holders of Class A Units was calculated to be 2.62% and 3.51% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We incurred loan closing costs for the acquisition of the Village at Baldwin Park multifamily community during the first quarter 2016, which were funded by our $35 million acquisition term loan facility, or 2016 Term Loan, and on our $11 million term note, which we used to finance the acquisition of our Anderson Central grocery-anchored shopping center. These costs were deferred and are being amortized over the lives of the two instruments. The amortization expense of these deferred costs is an additive adjustment in the calculation of Core FFO.

As of January 1, 2016, we pay loan coordination fees to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, our Manager, related to obtaining mortgage financing for acquired properties. Loan coordination fees were introduced to more accurately reflect the administrative effort involved in arranging debt financing for acquired properties. The portion of the loan coordination fees paid up until July 1, 2017 attributable to the financing were amortized over the lives of the respective mortgage loans, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO. Beginning effective July 1, 2017, the loan coordination fee was lowered from 1.6% to 0.6% of the amount of any mortgage indebtedness on newly-acquired properties. All of the loan coordination fees paid to our Manager subsequent to July 1, 2017 are amortized over the life of the debt. At September 30, 2017, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $11.3 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.8 years.


5)	We sustained operating losses, consisting primarily of lost rental income, at certain of our properties due to Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma during the third quarter 2017; these costs are added back to FFO in our calculation of Core FFO.

We incur loan closing costs on our existing mortgage loans, which are secured on a property-by-property basis by each of our acquired real estate assets, and also for occasional amendments to our $150 million syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. These loan closing costs are also amortized over the lives of the respective loans and the Revolving Line of Credit, and this non-cash amortization expense is an addition to Core FFO in the calculation of AFFO. Neither we nor the Operating Partnership have any recourse liability in connection with any of the mortgage loans, nor do we have any cross-collateralization arrangements with respect to the assets securing the mortgage loans, other than security interests in 49% of the equity interests of the subsidiaries owning such assets, granted in connection with our Revolving Line of Credit, which provides for full recourse liability. At September 30, 2017, aggregate unamortized loan costs were approximately $17.2 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 7.9 years.

We receive loan origination fees in conjunction with the origination of certain real estate loan investments. These fees are then recognized as revenue over the lives of the applicable loans as adjustments of yield using the effective interest method. The total fees received after the payment of loan origination fees to our Manager are additive adjustments in the calculation of AFFO. Correspondingly, the amortized non-cash income is a deduction in the calculation of AFFO. We also accrue over the lives of certain loans additional interest amounts that become due to us at the time of repayment of the loan or refinancing of the property, or when the property is sold to a third party.


8)	The Company records deferred interest revenue over the lives of certain of its real estate loans. This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of interest income which was earned and accrued prior to those periods presented on various real estate loans.


9)	This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of costs incurred to induce tenants to lease space in our office buildings and grocery-anchored shopping centers.

10)

This adjustment reflects straight-line rent adjustments and the reversal of the non-cash amortization of below-market and above-market lease intangibles, which were recognized in conjunction with the Company’s acquisitions and which are amortized over the estimated average remaining lease terms from the acquisition date for multifamily communities and over the remaining lease terms for grocery-anchored shopping center assets and office buildings. At September 30, 2017, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $31.7 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.9 years.


11)	This adjustment removes the non-cash amortization of deferred revenue recorded by us in conjunction with Company-owned lessee-funded tenant improvements in our office buildings.

12)

We deduct from Core FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from Core FFO capitalized amounts for third party costs during the period to originate or renew leases in our grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings. No adjustment is made in the calculation of AFFO for nonrecurring capital expenditures.


13)	The adjustment consists of a loan prepayment penalty and other charges related to the refinancing of our Stone Creek multifamily community which totaled $888,428 and for the refinancing of our 525 Avalon multifamily community of $169,627.


14)	We incurred legal costs pertaining to the extension of our management agreement with our Manager. The three-year extension was effective as of June 3, 2016.

15)

On May 25, 2017,we closed on the sale of our Enclave at Vista Ridge multifamily community to an unrelated third party. At such date, our Manager collected a cumulative total of approximately $390,000 of contingent fees. The sales transaction, and the fact that the Company’s capital contributions for the Enclave at Vista Ridge property achieved an annual rate of return which exceeded 7%, which triggered the fees to become immediately due and payable to the Manager at the closing of the sale transaction. The recognition of these fees are added to FFO in the calculation of Core FFO as they are not likely to occur on a regular basis.

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, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings (including regular maintenance items);


•	capital expenditures incurred to lease our multifamily communities, grocery-anchored shopping centers and office buildings;


•	interest expense on our outstanding property level debt;


•	amounts due on our Credit Facility;


•	distributions that we pay to our preferred stockholders, common stockholders, and unitholders;


•	cash redemptions that we may pay to our preferred stockholders, and


•	committed investments.

We have a credit facility, or Credit Facility, with KeyBank National Association, or KeyBank, which defines a syndicated revolving line of credit, or Revolving Line of Credit, which is used to fund investments, capital expenditures, dividends (with consent of KeyBank), working capital and other general corporate purposes on an as needed basis. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit is $150.0 million pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended effective December 27, 2016, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Revolving Line of Credit accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus 3.25% per annum and matures on August 5, 2019, with an option to extend the maturity date to August 5, 2020, subject to certain conditions described therein. At September 30, 2017, we had a balance owed of $43.0 million under the Revolving Line of Credit. Interest expense on the Revolving Line of Credit was approximately $2.8 million (excluding deferred loan cost amortization of approximately $492,000) and the weighted average interest rate was 4.51% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants including negative covenants that limit or restrict secured and unsecured indebtedness, mergers and fundamental changes, investments and acquisitions, liens and encumbrances, dividends, transactions with affiliates, burdensome agreements, changes in fiscal year and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements. The material financial covenants include minimum net worth and debt service coverage ratios and maximum leverage and dividend payout ratios. As of September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants related to the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Our results with respect to such compliance are presented in Note 9 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 28, 2017, we entered into a revolving acquisition credit agreement, or Acquisition Credit Agreement, with KeyBank to obtain an acquisition revolving credit facility, or Acquisition Facility, with a maximum borrowing capacity of $200 million. The sole purpose of the Acquisition Credit Agreement is to finance our acquisitions of multifamily communities and student housing communities prior to obtaining permanent conventional mortgage financing on the acquired assets. The maximum borrowing capacity on the Acquisition Facility may be increased at our request up to $300 million at any time prior to March 1, 2021. The Acquisition Facility accrues interest at a variable rate of one month LIBOR plus a margin of between 1.75% per annum and 2.20% per annum, depending on the type of assets acquired and the resulting property debt service coverage ratio. The Acquisition Facility has a maturity date of March 1, 2022 and has two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions described therein.

Our net cash provided by operating activities for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 was approximately $70.4 million and $53.9 million, respectively. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the incremental cash generated by property income provided by the real estate assets acquired subsequent to September 30, 2016 and an increase in cash collections of interest income from our larger portfolio of real estate loans and notes.

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

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

Our net cash used in investing activities was approximately $422.2 million and $833.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Disbursements for property acquisitions were approximately $740.6 million during the 2016 period and approximately $455.7 million during the 2017 period. Proceeds from our sale of Ashford Park, Sandstone Creek and Enclave at Vista Ridge during 2017 totaled approximately $118.2 million. Disbursements for real estate loans, net of repayments, were approximately $86.8 million during the 2016 period and approximately $76.7 million during the 2017 period.

Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by acquisitions and dispositions of multifamily properties and retail shopping centers and acquisitions and maturities or other dispositions of real estate loans and other real estate and real estate-related assets, and secondarily by capital expenditures related to our owned properties. We will seek to acquire more multifamily communities and retail shopping centers at costs that we expect will be accretive to our financial results. Capital expenditures may be nonrecurring and discretionary, as part of a strategic plan intended to increase a property’s value and corresponding revenue-generating power, or may be normally recurring and necessary to maintain the income streams and present value of a property. Certain capital expenditures may be budgeted and reserved for upon acquiring a property as initial expenditures necessary to bring a property up to our standards or to add features or amenities that we believe make the property a compelling value to prospective residents or tenants in its individual market. These budgeted nonrecurring capital expenditures in connection with 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, our capital expenditures our capital expenditures for our multifamily communities and student housing properties, not including changes in related payables were as follows:

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $356.5 million and $787.3 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017, and 2016, respectively. During the 2017 period, our significant financing cash sources were approximately $211.4 million of net proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions and approximately $201.8 million of net proceeds from our offerings of our Preferred Stock units. Our significant uses of cash for financing activities during the 2017 period were $121.1 million for repayments of mortgage loan indebtedness and $274.5 million of net repayments on our revolving line of credit. During the 2016 period, our significant financing cash sources were approximately $479.5 million of net proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions and approximately $287.8 million of net proceeds from our Follow-On Series A Offering.

Distributions

In order to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must comply with a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of our annual REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income as calculated in accordance with GAAP and determined without regard for the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income we distribute to our stockholders. Generally, our objective is to meet our short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of our quarterly Common Stock dividends, as well as monthly dividends to holders of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares, through net cash generated from operating results.

Our board of directors reviews the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividends monthly to determine whether we have funds legally available for payment of such dividends in cash, and there can be no assurance that the Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividends will consistently 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 Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and our mShares dividend payments to increase at a rate that approximates the rate at which we issue new Units from our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering and our mShares Offering.

Our third quarter 2017 Common Stock dividend declaration of $0.235 per share represented an overall increase of 88.0% from our initial Common Stock dividend per share of $0.125 following our IPO, or an annualized dividend growth rate of approximately 14.2% over the same period. Our board of directors reviews the proposed Common Stock dividend declarations quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.

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

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $64.7 million. Our cash flows from operating activities of approximately $70.4 million were sufficient to fund our cash dividend distributions for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. We expect our cash flow from operations over time to be sufficient to fund our quarterly Common Stock dividends, Class A Unit distributions and our monthly Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and mShares dividends.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

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


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


•	capital expenditures needed for our multifamily communities and retail shopping centers;


•	costs associated with current and future capital raising activities;


•	costs to acquire additional multifamily communities, retail assets or other real estate and enter into new and fund existing lending opportunities; and


•	our minimum distributions necessary to maintain our REIT status.

We intend to finance our future investments with the net proceeds from additional issuances of our securities, including our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, our mShares Offering (both as defined below), Common Stock, and units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership, and/or borrowings. The success of our acquisition strategy may depend, in part, on our ability to access further capital through issuances of additional securities, especially our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, details of which are described below. If we are unsuccessful in raising additional funds, we may not be able to obtain any assets in addition to those we have acquired.

On October 11, 2013, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-183355) for our offering of up to 900,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of our Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, stated value $1,000 per share and one Warrant to purchase 20 shares of our Common Stock, to be offered from time to time on a “reasonable best efforts” basis. This offering is referred to as the Follow-On Series A Offering. We commenced sales for the Follow-On Series A Offering on January 1, 2014. As of February 14, 2017, we had issued all 900,000 Units from and terminated our Follow-On Series A Offering.

On February 14, 2017, the SEC declared effective out registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-211924) for our offering for up to 1,500,000 Units, with each Unit consisting of one share of Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock and one Warrant to purchase up to 20 shares of Common Stock, referred to as our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. The price per Unit is $1,000, subject to adjustment if a participating broker-dealer reduces its commission. We intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

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

On December 2, 2016, the SEC declared effective our registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-214531), for our offering of up to 500,000 shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock, or mShares, par value $0.01 per share, or the mShares Offering. The price per mShare is $1,000. We intend to invest substantially all the net proceeds of the mShares Offering in connection with the acquisition of multifamily communities, other real estate-related investments and general working capital purposes.

On May 12, 2017, we sold 2,750,000 shares of our Common Stock at a public offering price of $15.25 per share pursuant to an underwritten public offering. On May 30, 2017, we sold an additional 412,500 shares of Common Stock at $15.25 per share pursuant to the exercise in full of an option received in connection with the public offering. The combined gross proceeds of the two sales was approximately $48.2 million before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other estimated offering expenses.

The Company has filed a prospectus to issue and sell up to $150 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering, or the 2016 ATM Offering, through the sales agents identified in the prospectus. The Company intends to use any proceeds from the 2016 ATM Offering (a) to repay outstanding amounts under our Credit Facility and (b) for other general corporate purposes, which includes making investments in accordance with the Company's investment objectives. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, we issued and sold approximately 1.7 million shares of our Common Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $28.6 million via our 2016 ATM Offering.

Our ability to raise funds through the issuance of our securities is dependent on, among other things, general market conditions for REITs, market perceptions about us, and the current trading price of our Common Stock. We will continue to analyze which source of capital is most advantageous to us at any particular point in time, but the equity and credit markets may not consistently be available on terms that are attractive to us or at all.

The sources to fulfill our long-term liquidity in the future may include borrowings from a number of sources, including repurchase agreements, securitizations, resecuritizations, warehouse facilities and credit facilities (including term loans and revolving facilities), in addition to our Revolving Credit Facility. We have utilized, and we intend to continue to utilize, leverage in making our investments in multifamily communities and retail shopping centers. The number of different multifamily communities, retail shopping centers and other investments we will acquire will be affected by numerous factors, including the amount of funds available to us. By operating on a leveraged basis, we will have more funds available for our investments. This will allow us to make more investments than would otherwise be possible, resulting in a larger and more diversified portfolio.

We intend to target leverage levels (secured and unsecured) between 50% and 65% of the fair market value of our tangible assets (including our real estate assets, real estate loans, notes receivable, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents) on a portfolio basis. As of September 30, 2017, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 52.5% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at September 30, 2017. Neither our charter nor our by-laws contain any limitation on the amount of leverage we may use. Our investment guidelines, which can be amended by our board without stockholder approval, limit our borrowings (secured and unsecured) to 75% of the cost of our tangible assets at the time of any new borrowing. These targets, however, will not apply to individual real estate assets or investments. The amount of leverage we will place on particular investments will depend on our Manager's assessment of a variety of factors which may include the anticipated liquidity and price volatility of the assets in our investment portfolio, the potential for losses and extension risk in the portfolio, the availability and cost of financing the asset, our opinion of the creditworthiness of our financing counterparties, the health of the U.S. economy and the health of the commercial real estate market in general. In addition, factors such as our outlook on interest rates, changes in the yield curve slope, the level and volatility of interest rates and their associated credit spreads, the underlying collateral of our assets and our outlook on credit spreads relative to our outlook on interest rate and economic performance could all impact our decision and strategy for financing the target assets. At the date of acquisition of each asset, we anticipate that the investment cost for such asset will be substantially similar to its fair market value. However, subsequent events, including changes in the fair market value of our assets, could result in our exceeding these limits. Finally, we intend to acquire all our real estate assets through separate single purpose entities and we intend to finance each of these assets using debt financing techniques for that asset alone without any cross-collateralization to our other real estate assets or any guarantees by us or our Operating Partnership. We intend to have no long-term unsecured debt at the Company or Operating Partnership levels, except for our Revolving Line of Credit.

Our secured and unsecured aggregate borrowings are intended by us to be reasonable in relation to our tangible assets and will be reviewed by our board of directors at least quarterly. In determining whether our borrowings are reasonable in relation to our tangible assets, we expect that our board of directors will consider many factors, including without limitation the lending

standards of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, for loans in connection with the financing of multifamily properties, the leverage ratios of publicly traded and non-traded REITs with similar investment strategies, and general market conditions. There is no limitation on the amount that we may borrow for any single investment.

Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our credit ratings (if any), the value of our assets, our degree of leverage and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders. We will continue to monitor the debt markets, including Fannie Mae and/or Freddie Mac (from both of whom we have obtained single asset secured financing on all of our multifamily communities), and as market conditions permit, access borrowings that are advantageous to us.

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

Furthermore, if interest rates or other factors at the time of financing result in higher costs of financing, then the interest expense relating to that financed indebtedness would be higher. Higher interest rates on newly incurred debt may negatively impact us as well. If interest rates increase, our interest costs and overall costs of capital will increase, which could adversely affect our transaction and development activity, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Finally, sellers may be less inclined to offer to sell to us if they believe we may be unable to obtain financing.

As of September 30, 2017, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $1.6 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties.

As of September 30, 2017, we had approximately $17.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents available to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity needs. We believe that our long-term liquidity needs are and will continue to be adequately funded through the sources discussed above.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2017, we had 846,559 outstanding Warrants from our sales of Units. The Warrants are exercisable by the holder at an exercise price of 120% of the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the date of issuance of such Warrant. The current market price per share is determined using the closing market price of the Common Stock immediately preceding the 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 September 30, 2017, a total of 283,383 Warrants had been exercised into 5,667,660 shares of Common stock and a remaining 514,688 Warrants had passed the initial exercise date and so became potentially exercisable into a total of 10,293,760 shares of Common Stock. The remainder of the Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2017 become potentially exercisable between October 14, 2017 and October 13, 2018 and have exercise prices that range between $15.31 and $22.62 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2017 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $269.7 million and we would as a result issue an additional 16,931,180 shares of Common Stock.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2017, our contractual obligations consisted of the mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on a LIBOR rate of 1.23% at September 30, 2017, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:



	Total		Less than one year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than five years
Mortgage debt obligations:
Interest	$	427,358,809	$	58,401,787	$	103,679,620	$	86,059,735	$	179,217,667
Principal	1,596,564,254		44,595,725		308,077,749		392,027,375		851,863,405

Total	$	2,077,991,147	$	157,065,596	$	411,757,369	$	478,087,110	$	1,031,081,072

In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $92.7 million at September 30, 2017.


Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. All our floating-rate debt is tied to the 30-day LIBOR. As of September 30, 2017, we have variable rate mortgages on our Avenues at Creekside, Citi Lakes, Royal Lakes Marketplace, Baldwin Park, Cherokee Plaza, Champions Village, SoL, Retreat at Greystone, and Aldridge at Town Village properties with a principal amount of approximately $334.5 million. Two of these mortgages have LIBOR effectively capped at 5.0% and 4.33% (all-in rates of 6.6% and 6.5%) under Freddie Mac's capped adjustable-rate mortgage program. The Royal Lakes Marketplace, Cherokee Plaza and Champions Village mortgages of $9.7 million, $25.4 million and $27.4 million, respectively, are uncapped. Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.25% over LIBOR as of September 30, 2017; this combined rate is uncapped. In addition, we partially financed the acquisitions of the Retreat at Greystone multifamily community in the amount of $35.2 million at LIBOR plus 175 basis points, the SoL student housing property in the amount of $37.5 million at LIBOR plus 220 basis points and the Aldridge at Town Village multifamily community in the amount of $38.0 million at LIBOR plus 185 basis points under our Acquisition Credit Facility. We intend to refinance these three properties with permanent fixed-rate mortgage financing during 2017. Because of the short term nature of the Revolving Line of Credit and Acquisition Credit Facility instruments, we believe our interest rate risk is minimal. We have no business operations which subject us to trading risk.

We have and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:


•	maintain a reasonable ratio of fixed-rate, long-term debt to total debt so that floating-rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;


•	place interest rate caps on floating-rate debt where appropriate; and


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

We use various financial models and advisors to achieve our objectives.

If interest rates under our floating-rate LIBOR-based indebtedness fluctuated by 100 basis points, our interest costs, based on outstanding borrowings at September 30, 2017, would increase by approximately $3.3 million on an annualized basis, or decrease by approximately $3.2 million on an annualized basis. The difference between the interest expense amounts related to an increase or decrease in our floating-rate interest cost is because LIBOR was 1.23% at September 30, 2017, therefore we have limited the estimate of how much our interest costs may decrease because we use a floor of 0% for LIBOR.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

Management of the Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period to provide reasonable assurance that that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

As required by the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(d), the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Based on that evaluation, there has been no such change during such period.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

Neither we nor our subsidiaries nor, to our knowledge, our Manager is currently subject to any legal proceedings that we or our Manager consider to be material. To our knowledge, none of our communities are currently subject to any legal proceeding that we consider material.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

Other than the following, there have been no material changes to our potential risks and uncertainties presented in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 that was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.

Increased competition to traditional grocery chains from new market participants, online supermarket retailers and food delivery services could adversely affect our grocery-anchored revenues and cash flow.

As a result of consumers' growing desire to shop online, traditional grocery chains are subject to increasing competition from new market participants and food retailers who have incorporated the internet as a direct-to-consumer channel and internet-only retailers that sell grocery products. For example, Amazon, a leading online retailer, recently reached an agreement to acquire Whole Foods. Additionally, online food delivery services such as Blue Apron are increasingly competing with traditional grocery chains in the food sales market. Competition from these new market participants and selling channels could negatively impact traditional grocery chains, which could adversely affect our grocery-anchored revenues and cash flow. In addition, changing dynamics in the food sales space could result in increased competition, declining same-store sales and store closings in the retail and grocery sector.
