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, 2018, the Company had 40,785,072 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, or Common Stock, issued and outstanding and was the approximate 97.4% owner of the Operating Partnership at that date. The number of partnership units not owned by the Company totaled 1,068,400 at September 30, 2018 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. The Company is involved with other VIEs, such as its investment in the Freddie Mac Series 2018-ML04 mortgage loan pool, as discussed in Note 4. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 1, 2018. Amounts are presented in thousands where indicated.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Variable Interest Entities

A variable interest entity, or “VIE” is an entity that lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, or whose equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. A VIE is consolidated by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has a controlling financial interest in the VIE through the (a) power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance, and (b) obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. The Company assesses whether it meets the power and benefits criteria and in performing this analysis, the Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors, including the Company’s ability to control or significantly influence key decisions of the VIE and the obligation or likelihood for the Company to fund operating losses of the VIE. The determination of whether an entity is a VIE, and whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, may involve significant judgment, including the determination of which activities most significantly affect the entities’ performance, and estimates about the current and future fair values and performance of assets held by the VIE. If the Company determines that it meets both the power and benefits criteria of the VIE, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and the Company consolidates the entire VIE entity in its consolidated financial statements. For those VIEs which arise from the Company's investment in mortgage-backed securities and which the Company consolidates, it elects the fair value option, under which the assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIE are carried at fair value. The periodic changes in fair value are included in the earnings of the Company and are reported on the line entitled Change in fair value of net assets of consolidated VIE from mortgage-backed pool on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. See note 4 for discussion related to the Company’s investment in a subordinate tranche of a collateralized mortgage-backed pool during the second quarter 2018 and Note 14 for fair value disclosures related to a consolidated VIE related to this investment.

Real Estate Loans

The Company carries its investments in real estate loans at amortized cost with assessments made for impairment in the event recoverability of the principal amount becomes doubtful. If, upon testing for impairment, the fair value result of the loan is lower than the carrying amount of the loan, an allowance is recorded to lower the carrying amount to fair value, with a loss recorded in earnings. The balances of real estate loans presented on the consolidated balance sheets consist of drawn amounts on the loans, net of unamortized deferred loan origination fees and allowances for loan loss. These loan balances are presented in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheets inclusive of loan balances from third party participant lenders, with the participant amount presented within the liabilities section.

Interest income on real estate loans and notes receivable is recognized on an accrual basis over the lives of the loans or notes using the effective interest rate method. In the event that a loan or note is refinanced with the proceeds of another loan issued by the Company, any unamortized loan fee revenue from the first loan will be recognized as interest revenue at the date of refinancing. Direct loan origination fees applicable to real estate loans are amortized over the lives of the loans as adjustments to interest income. The accrual of interest on all these instruments ceases when there is concern as to the ultimate collection of principal or interest. Any payments received on such non-accrual loans are recorded as reductions of principal when the payments are received. Certain real estate loan assets include limited purchase options and either exit fees or additional amounts of accrued interest. Exit fees or accrued interest due will be treated as additional consideration for the acquired project if the Company purchases the subject property. Additional accrued interest becomes due in cash to the Company 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 the Company or one of its affiliates) and (iv) any other repayment of the loan.

The Company evaluates the need for a loss reserve on at least a quarterly basis through its surveillance review process. In connection with the surveillance review process, the Company’s real estate loan investments are assigned an internal risk rating. The internal risk ratings are based on the loan’s current status as compared to underwriting for certain metrics such as total expected construction cost if overruns are noted, construction completion timing if there are delays, current cap rates within the MSA, leasing status, rental rates, net operating income, expected free cash flow, and other factors management deems important related to the ultimate collectability of the loan. The final internal risk ratings are influenced by other quantitative and qualitative factors that can result in an adjustment to the ratings. Each loan is given an internal risk rating from “A” to “D”. Loans rated an “A” meet all present contractual obligations and there are no indicators which would cause concern for the borrower’s ability to meet all present contractual obligations. Loans rated a “B” meet all present contractual obligations, but exhibited at least one indication of a negative variation from the underwriting for the loan and/or project. Loans rated a “C” exhibit some weakness that deserves management’s close attention and if uncorrected, may result in deterioration of repayment prospects. For these loans, management performs

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements – (continued)

September 30, 2018

(unaudited)

analyses to verify the borrower’s ability to meet all present contractual obligations, including obtaining an appraisal of the underlying collateral for the loan. For loans rated a “D”, the collection of all contractual principal and interest is improbable and management has determined to account for the loan as a non-accrual loan and, if appropriate under the circumstances record a loan loss allowance.

The Company's real estate loan investments are collateralized by real estate development projects and secured further by guaranties of repayment from one or more of the borrowers. The Company's lines of credit receivable are typically only collateralized by personal guaranties, but occaisionally may be cross-collateralized by interests in other real estate projects. As a result, the Company regularly evaluates the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan, and/or (iii) the property’s liquidation value. The Company also evaluates the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub‑market in which the borrower operates are considered. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by management, utilizing various data sources, including periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, capitalization and discount rates and site inspections.

Evaluations for impairment are performed for each real estate loan investment at least quarterly. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that all amounts due will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan. Depending upon the circumstances and significance of risk related to the collectability of the loan, management may determine that (i) the loan should be accounted for as a non-accrual loan because recovery of all contractual amounts due are deemed improbable and that any amounts subsequently received will be used to reduce the loan’s principal balance, (ii) in the event of a modification to the loan granted by the Company as a concession to the borrower who is experiencing financial difficulty, result in the need to apply troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) accounting guidance, and/or (iii) an allowance for loan loss is required for the loan based upon the value of the underlying collateral and the Company’s evaluation of a possible shortfall with regards to the loan’s repayment based upon an estimated sales price, additional costs (if necessary), estimated selling costs, and amounts due to all lenders.

Purchase Option Terminations

The Company will occasionally receive a purchase option on the underlying property in conjunction with extending a real estate loan investment to the developer of the property. The purchase option is often at a discount to the to-be-agreed-upon market value of the property, once stabilized. If the Company elects not to exercise the purchase option and acquire the property, it may negotiate to sell the purchase option back to the developer and receive a termination fee in consideration. The amount of the termination fee is accounted for as additional interest on the real estate loan investment and is recognized as interest revenue utilizing the effective interest method over the period beginning from the date of election until the earlier of (i) the maturity of the real estate loan investment and (ii) the sale of the property.

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 adopted the new standard on January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. 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 January 1, 2019 for the Company. The Company has determined that approximately 90% of its consolidated revenues are derived from either long-term leases with its tenants and reimbursement of related property tax and insurance expenses (considered executory costs of leases) or its mezzanine loan interest income, which are excluded from the scope of the ASU 2014-09. Of the remaining approximately 10% of the Company’s revenues, the majority is comprised of common area maintenance ("CAM") reimbursements and utility reimbursements, which are non-lease components. The Company has concluded that the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have no material effect upon the timing of the recognition of reimbursement revenue and other miscellaneous income. The Company also evaluated its amenity and ancillary services to its multifamily and student housing residents and does not expect the timing

and recognition of revenue to change as a result of implementing ASU 2014-09. Additional required disclosures regarding the nature and timing of the Company's revenue transactions will be provided upon adoption of ASU 2016-02. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 (“ASU 2018-11”), which provides lessors with a practical expedient in combining lease and non-lease components, if certain criteria are met. The Company believes that adoption of the practical expedient will result in changes in presentation and disclosure of revenue being combined into one revenue component, but will have no material effect on the timing of revenue recognition.

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 Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 did not impact the Company's results of operations or financial condition but did reduce the required disclosures concerning financial instruments.

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 new lease guidance requires an entity to separate lease components from non-lease components, such as maintenance services or other activities that transfer a good or service to our residents and tenants in a contract; it also considers the reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance as executory costs of the lease and requires that such amounts be consolidated with the base rent revenue. For lessors, the consideration in the contract is allocated to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone price basis in accordance with the allocation guidance in the new revenue standard. The Company concluded that adoption of ASU 2016-02 does not change the timing of revenue recognition over the lease component, which remains over a straight line method, though the reimbursement of property tax and insurance, considered executory costs of leasing, will be combined with the base rent revenue and presented within rental income instead of other income within the Company’s income statement. Non-lease components are evaluated under ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), discussed above. In its March 2018 meeting, the FASB approved a practical expedient for lessors to elect, by class of underlying assets, to not separate lease and non-lease components if both (1) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition are the same for the non-lease component(s) and related lease component and (2) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The Company anticipates adopting ASC 842 utilizing this practical expedient as it relates to its common area maintenance services.

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 will become 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 investment portfolio and is also revising its policies for credit losses on resident and tenant receivables to comply with the expected credit loss model under this guidance. The Company is continuing to evaluate the pending guidance to gauge the materiality of the impact, if any, on its results of operations or financial condition.

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 Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, since its current policy is to classify such costs as cash out flows for financing activities.

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. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018 and its adoption of ASU 2016-18 did not impact its results of operations or financial condition, but did change the line upon which changes in restricted cash are presented.

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 Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018. The new standard clarifies that an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counterparty and derecognize each asset when a counterparty obtains control of it. The amendments also clarify that an entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in Topic 606 on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations for sales to customers. The Company’s sales of nonfinancial real estate assets are generally made to non-customers, which is a scope exception under Topic 606. The Company elected to adopt this practical expedient and the proceeds from real estate sales continue to be recognized as gain or loss on sale of real estate in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Purchase Options

In the course of extending real estate loan investments for property development, the Company will often receive an exclusive option to purchase the property once development and stabilization are complete. If the Company determines that it does not wish to acquire the property, it has the right to sell its purchase option back to the borrower for a termination fee in the amount of the purchase option discount.

On May 7, 2018, the Company terminated its existing purchase options on the Encore, Bishop Street and Hidden River multifamily communities and the Haven 46 and Haven Charlotte student housing properties, all of which are partially supported by real estate loan investments held by the Company. In exchange, the Company received termination fees aggregating approximately $12.5 million from the developers. These fees are treated as additional interest revenue and are amortized over the period ending with the earlier of (i) the sale of the underlying property and (ii) the maturity of the real estate loans. The Company recorded approximately $4.3 million and $6.6 million of interest revenue related to these transactions for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

Certain of the Company's real estate loan investments are subject to loan participation agreements with unaffiliated third parties. The Company's Palisades loan is subject to such an agreement, 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 unearned purchase option terminations is presented on the line entitled unearned purchase option termination fees of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At September 30, 2018, the balance was approximately $5.8 million.

The Company's real estate loan investments 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. 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 the Company assigns risk ratings to its real estate loans and notes receivable in credit quality categories as described in Note 2.

The Company holds a real estate loan investment in partial support of the Fusion Apartments multifamily community project located in Irvine, California. The total commitment amount of the loan is approximately $70.8 million as of September 30, 2018 and the average investment in the loan over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $65.0 million. The loan's risk rating as a result of the Company's surveillance review process was C as of June 30, 2018. During the third quarter 2018, the first certificate of occupancy was received and lease up commenced. Offers to purchase the property were gathered, with the highest offer of $118.5 million, approximately $12.0 million less than the aggregate debt balance on the property. The Company agreed to effective July 1, 2018, remove the accrued interest feature on the loan to ease the burden of increased construction costs and to protect the Company's investment in the loan. This restructuring of the loan terms reduced the overall interest rate on the loan from 16.0% to 8.5%. As of September 30, 2018, the loan's risk rating was D. The amount of loss agreed to be borne by the Company was $4.5 million and during the third quarter 2018, the Company recorded an approximate $3.0 million allowance for loss on its real estate loan which is reflected on the statements of operations. In addition, the loan was placed in a non-accrual status, whereby interest is no longer accrued on the loan and any subsequent payments received are recorded as reductions in loan principal. Total principal reduction of the loan totaled approximately $1.47 million and the remaining unpaid principal amount of the loan was approximately $66.4 million at September 30, 2018. The remaining shortfall of $7.4 million is the responsibility of the developer and that will be funded by draws upon an existing line of credit from the Company. The line of credit is protected by guaranties of repayment by the principals of the developer as well as an assignment of the developer's interests in another multifamily community under development in Fort Myers, Florida.

The Company continues to monitor each loan and note receivable for potential deterioration of risk ratings and can make no assurances that economic or industry conditions or other circumstances will not lead to future loan loss allowances.

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, any of which can cause the loans to create variable interests to the Company and require further evaluation as to whether the variable interest creates a 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.

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, 2018 of approximately $392.2 million. The maximum aggregate amount of loans to be funded as of September 30, 2018 was approximately $515.5 million, which includes approximately $123.3 million of loan committed amounts not yet funded.

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, Bishop Street, Dawsonville Marketplace, 360 Forsyth, Morosgo, Morosgo Capital, Solis Kennesaw and Solis Kennesaw Capital loans, all of which are partially supporting various real estate projects in or near Atlanta, Georgia. The drawn amount of these loans as of September 30, 2018 totaled approximately $98.3 million (with a total commitment amount of approximately $107.3 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 the drawn amount.

Subordinate mortgage pool investment

On May 23, 2018, the Company purchased a subordinate tranche of Series 2018-ML04, a pool of 20 multifamily mortgages with a total pool size of approximately $276.3 million, from the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or "Freddie Mac". The purchase price of the subordinate tranche was approximately $4.7 million and has a weighted average maturity of approximately 16 years, at which time the Company will collect the face value of its tranche of $27.6 million. The yield to maturity of the subordinate tranche is expected to be approximately 11.5% per annum.

The Company has evaluated the structure of the investment under the VIE rules and has determined that, due to the Company's position as directing certificate holder of 2018-ML04, it is in the position most able to influence the financial performance of the

trust. As the subordinate tranche holder, the Company also holds the first loss position of 2018-ML04. As such, the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE and has consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the entire trust in its consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2018. The Company's maximum exposure to loss is approximately $4.8 million. The Company has no recourse liability to either the creditors or other beneficial interest holders of 2018-ML04.

5. Redeemable Preferred Stock and Equity Offerings

At September 30, 2018, the Company's active equity offerings consisted of:


•	an offering of 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");


•	an offering of up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of Series M Redeemable Preferred Stock (“mShares”), par value $0.01 per share (the “mShares Offering”); and


•	an offering of up to $300 million of equity or debt securities (the "Shelf Offering"), including an offering of up to $150 million of Common Stock from time to time in an "at the market" offering (the "2016 ATM Offering").

Certain offering costs are specifically identifiable to offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees. These costs are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing. Other offering costs are not related to specific closing transactions and are recognized as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the proportion of the number of instruments issued to the maximum number of Units anticipated to be issued. Any offering costs not yet reclassified as reductions of stockholders' equity are are reflected in the asset section of the consolidated balance sheets as deferred offering costs.

As of September 30, 2018, cumulative gross proceeds and offering costs for our active equity offerings consisted of:

⁽¹⁾ Included in the $300 million Shelf Offering is a total of $150 million allocated for the 2016 ATM Offering, which is not listed separately.

⁽²⁾These offering costs specifically identifiable to Unit offering closing transactions, such as commissions, dealer manager fees, and other registration fees, are reflected as a reduction of stockholders' equity at the time of closing.

Aggregate offering expenses of the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering, including selling commissions and dealer manager fees, and of the mShares Offering, including dealer manager fees, are each individually capped at 11.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the two offerings, of which the Company will reimburse its Manager up to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of such offerings for all organization and offering expenses incurred, excluding selling commissions and dealer manager fees for the $1.5 Billion Unit Offering and excluding dealer manager fees for the mShares Offering; 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, or FINRA.

On April 16, 2018, John A. Williams, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, passed away. The Company's Haven 12, Haven 46, and Haven Charlotte real estate loan investments and the Haven Campus Communities' line of credit are supported in part by guaranties of repayment and performance by John A. Williams, Jr., John A. Williams' son. Because the terms of these loans were negotiated and agreed upon while John A. Williams was the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, these instruments will continue to be reported as related party transactions until the loans are repaid. The Company named Daniel M. DuPree as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Leonard A. Silverstein was named Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and continues as the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer.

Daniel M. DuPree and Leonard A. Silverstein are also executive officers and directors of NELL Partners, Inc., which controls the Manager. As of September 30, 2018, Mr. DuPree and Mr. Silverstein comprised the board of directors of Nell Partners, Inc. Mr. DuPree is the Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Silverstein is the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Manager.

The Company's Wiregrass and Wiregrass Capital real estate loan investments are partially financing the development of a multifamily community in Tampa, Florida. Timothy A. Peterson is a member of management of both the Altman Companies as well as Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The Wiregrass loans therefore qualify as related party transactions.

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, waive some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees in the current period for properties owned by the Company. The waived fees are converted at the time of waiver into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manager 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. A cumulative total of approximately $10.4 million of combined asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2018 have been waived by the Manager. A total of $9.6 million remains contingent and could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.

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.

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:

2018		2017		2018		2017
$	4,501	$	3,200	$	12,040	$	8,995

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 $357,807 and $324,638 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively and Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, or PCS, was reimbursed $1,080,660 and $790,804 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 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 approximately $763,030 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.

7. Dividends and Distributions

The Company declares and pays monthly cash dividend distributions on its Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of $5.00 per share per month and beginning in March 2017, on its Series M Preferred Stock, on an escalating scale of $4.79 per month in year one, increasing to $6.25 per month in year eight and beyond. All preferred stock dividends are prorated for partial months at issuance as necessary. The Company declared quarterly cash dividends on its Common Stock of $0.76 and $0.69 per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The holders of Class A OP Units of the Operating Partnership are entitled to equivalent distributions as those declared on the Common Stock. At September 30, 2018, the Company had 1,068,400 Class A OP Units outstanding, which are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Common Stock or the equivalent amount of cash.

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 2016, 2017 and 2018 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 (in thousands)
2016	30,990	$	13.23	$	410
2017	24,408	$	14.75	$	360
2018	24,810	$	14.51	$	360

Class B OP Units

On January 4, 2016, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 265,931 Class B Units of the Operating Partnership or 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. On January 2, 2018, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 256,087 Class B OP Units, for service to be rendered during 2018, 2019 and 2020.

On January 2, 2018, John A. Williams, the late Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was granted 53,746 Class B OP Units. On April 16, 2018, Mr. Williams passed away and his granted Class B OP Units were modified on a pro-rata basis as of the date of his death. Of the 53,746 Class B OP Units granted to Mr. Williams, 38,284 Class B OP Units with a total fair value of approximately $638,000 were forfeited. The remaining 15,462 Class B OP Units will become Vested Class B Units on January 2, 2019, and will remain subject to the earning provision of all Class B Unit grants in order to convert to Class A OP Units. An additional 24,138 Class B OP Units granted to individuals other than Mr. Williams with an aggregate fair value of $364,064 were forfeited during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

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 periods beginning on the grant dates through the Initial Valuation Dates. On January 3, 2017, all of the 265,931 Class B OP Units granted on January 3, 2016 became earned and 206,534 automatically vested and converted to Class A Units. Of the remaining earned Class B OP Units, 29,699 vested and automatically converted to Class A Units on January 2, 2018 and the final 29,698 earned Class B OP Units will vest and automatically convert to Class A Units on January 2, 2019, assuming each grantee fulfills the requisite service requirement. On January 2, 2018, all of the 286,392 Class B OP Units granted on January 2, 2017 became earned and 227,599 automatically became vested and converted to Class A Units. Of the remaining earned Class B OP Units, 27,131 will vest and automatically convert to Class A Units on January 2, 2019 and the final 27,135 earned Class B OP Units will vest and automatically convert to Class A Units on January 2, 2020, assuming each grantee fulfills the requisite service requirement.

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



Grant dates	1/2/2018			1/3/2017
Stock price	$	20.19		$	14.79
Dividend yield	4.95		%	5.95		%
Expected volatility	25.70		%	26.40		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.71		%	2.91		%

Number of Units granted:
One year vesting period	171,988			198,184
Three year vesting period	84,099			88,208
	256,087			286,392

Calculated fair value per Unit	$	16.66		$	11.92

Total fair value of Units	$	4,266,409		$	3,413,793

Target market threshold increase	$	5,660,580		$	4,598,624

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 $0.25 for the 2018 awards.

For the 2017 and 2018 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 to certain employees of affiliates of the Company, for service to be rendered during 2017, 2018 and 2019. On January 2, 2018, the Company caused the Operating Partnership to grant 20,720 restricted stock units, or RSUs, for service to be rendered during 2018, 2019 and 2020.

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 $16.66 and $11.92 per RSU were utilized to calculate the total fair values of the RSUs of $345,195 and $320,648 for the 2018 and 2017 grants, respectively. The total fair value amounts pertaining to grants of RSUs, net of forfeitures, are amortized as compensation expense over the three one-year periods ending on the three successive anniversaries of the grant dates. As of September 30, 2018, a total of 5,684 RSUs have been forfeited from the 2017 grant and a total of 1,960 RSUs have been forfeited from the 2018 grant.

Repayments and Refinancings

The sale of Stone Rise on September 28, 2018 resulted in $71,500 of debt defeasance related costs, which were netted against the gain on the sale of the property.

The sale of Lake Cameron on March 20, 2018 resulted in $0.4 million of debt defeasance related costs, which were netted against the gain on the sale of the property.

The sale of Sandstone Creek on January 20, 2017, resulted in $1.4 million of debt defeasance related costs. The sale of Ashford Park on March 7, 2017, resulted in $1.1 million of debt defeasance related costs plus a prepayment premium of approximately $0.4 million, which were netted against the gain on the sale of the property.

On March 29, 2018, the Company refinanced the mortgage on its Sol student housing property. A short-term bridge loan was used to replace the mortgage being held on the Acquisition Facility. The mortgage principal balance of approximately $37.5 million remained the same under the new financing arrangement, and the existing variable interest rate decreased 10 basis points, to 210 basis points over LIBOR. As a result of the refinance, the Company incurred expenses of approximately $41,000, which are included within the Interest Expense line of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 approximately $11.1 million. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has an outstanding principal balance of $9.6 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 4.61% as of September 30, 2018.

The mortgage note secured by our Champions Village property has a maximum commitment of approximately $34.2 million. As of September 30, 2018, 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, if elected by the Company. 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 5.11% as of September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, the weighted-average remaining life of deferred loan costs related to the Company's mortgage indebtedness was approximately 8.7 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 $200 million pursuant to an accordion feature within the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, as amended on March 23, 2018, but effective as of April 13, 2018, or the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The accordion feature permits the maximum borrowing capacity to be expanded or contracted without amending any further terms of the instrument. 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 5.14% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018. 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 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 accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum until it was repaid and extinguished during the first quarter 2018.

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, 2018, 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
Net worth	Minimum $1.43 billion	₍₂₎	$1.51 billion
Debt yield	Minimum 8.25%		9.7%
Payout ratio	Maximum 95.0%	₍₃₎	91.9%
Total leverage ratio	Maximum 65.0%		59.4%
Debt service coverage ratio	Minimum 1.50x		1.86x

⁽¹⁾All covenants are as defined in the credit agreement for the Revolving Line of Credit.

⁽²⁾Minimum of $686.9 million plus 75% of the net proceeds of any equity offering, which totaled approximately $1.43 billion as of September 30, 2018.

⁽³⁾Calculated on a trailing four-quarter basis. For the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2018, the maximum dividends and distributions allowed under this covenant was approximately $125.4 million.

Loan fees and closing costs for the establishment and subsequent amendments of the Credit Facility are amortized utilizing the straight line method over the life of the Credit Facility. At September 30, 2018, unamortized loan fees and closing costs for the Credit Facility were approximately $855,000, which will be amortized over a remaining loan life of approximately 10 months. 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, 2018, 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 3.5 years.

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, 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 Company's tax years prior to its REIT election year, its 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

On March 28, 2014, the Company entered into a payment guaranty in support of its Manager's eleven-year office lease, which began on October 9, 2014. As of September 30, 2018, the amount guarantied by the Company was $6.1 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, 2018, 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 $10.4 million of asset management and general and administrative fees related to acquired properties as of September 30, 2018 have been waived by the Manager. The waived fees are converted at the time of waiver into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manager as an additional disposition fee 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, 2018, a total of $9.6 million remains contingent and could possibly be earned by the Manager in the future.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had unfunded balances on its real estate loan portfolio of approximately $123.3 million.

At September 30, 2018, the Company had unfunded contractual commitments for tenant improvements of approximately $3.4 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 five distinct segments: multifamily communities, student housing properties, real estate related financing, New Market Properties and Preferred Office Properties.

Multifamily Communities - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned residential multifamily communities

Student Housing Properties - consists of the Company's portfolio of owned 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, as well as the Company's investment in the Series 2018-ML04 mortgage-backed pool. Excluded from the financing segment are financial results of the Company's Dawson Marketplace grocery-anchored shopping center real estate loan, which are included in the New Market Properties segment.

(unaudited)

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.

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.

Beginning June 30, 2018, the Company's student housing properties segment is presented separately because the assets of the student housing properties segment exceeded 10% of the Company's consolidated assets. Prior period data has been adjusted from that which was previously reported to reflect this development. In prior periods, student housing properties and multifamily communities were combined.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has deferred revenue in an aggregate amount of $40.6 million in connection with such improvements. The remaining balance to be recognized is approximately $38.0 million which is included in the deferred revenues line on the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2018. 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 $1.8 million and $0.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.

^(A) The Company's outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership (1,068 and 901 Units at September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 1,508 and 1,116 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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 7.50% in year eight and thereafter. The Company had 37 and 12 mShares outstanding at September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

^(C) The Company's outstanding unvested restricted share awards (19 and 18 shares of Common Stock at September 30, 2018 and 2017, 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's unvested restricted share awards are defined as participating securities, the dividends declared for that period are adjusted in determining the calculation of loss per share of Common Stock.

^(D) Potential dilution from (i) warrants outstanding from issuances of Units from our Series A Preferred Stock offerings that are potentially exercisable into 21,471 shares of Common Stock; (ii) 282 Class B Units; (iii) 19 shares of unvested restricted common stock; and (iv) 32 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.

14. 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.

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 loan participation obligations was approximately $843,000 and $1.5 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Disclosure guidance under GAAP requires the Company to determine whether the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities of the ML-04 trust is more observable. The VIE assets within the ML-04 Trust consist of mortgage loans which finance 20 multifamily communities. The fair value of the VIE assets within the level 3 hierarchy are comprised of the fair value of the mortgages as estimated by the Company, which were developed utilizing a discounted cash flow model over the remaining terms of the mortgages until their maturity dates and utilizing discount rates believed to approximate the market risk factor for instruments of similar type and duration. The fair value of the notes are categorized within the level 3 hierarchy of fair value estimation as the discount rate primary input assumption is unobservable.

15. Subsequent Events

Between October 1, 2018 and October 31, 2018, the Company issued 38,340 Units and collected net proceeds of approximately $34.5 million after commissions and fees under its $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. Between October 1, 2018 and October 31, 2018, the Company issued 2,339 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and collected net proceeds of approximately $2.3 million after commissions and fees under the mShares offering.

On October 23, 2018, the Company sold its Stoneridge Farms at Hunt Club multifamily community located in Nashville, Tennessee to an unrelated party for an approximate GAAP gain of $16.9 million, which resulted in an aggregate annual return of approximately 22% from September 26,2014, the date the property was acquired.

On October 31, 2018, the Company refinanced its variable rate mortgage on the Sol student housing community into a $36.2 million mortgage maturing on November 1, 2028 and which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.71% per annum.

On November 1, 2018, the Company's board of directors declared a quarterly dividend on our Common Stock of $0.26 per share, payable on January 15, 2019 to stockholders of record on December 14, 2018.

On November 5, 2018, the Company closed on a real estate loan investment of up to $13.6 million in partial support of a student housing property adjacent to Kennesaw State University in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.

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

Significant Developments

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we acquired five grocery-anchored shopping centers, three student housing properties, three multifamily communities and two office properties. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was approximately $715.3 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we sold our Lake Cameron multifamily community located in Raleigh, North Carolina, and collected gross proceeds of approximately $43.5 million. We realized a gain on the sale of the property of approximately $20.4 million and an average total return on the property of approximately 19%. We also sold our Stone Rise multifamily community located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and collected gross proceeds of approximately $42.5 million. We realized a gain on the sale of the property of approximately $18.6 million and an average total return on the property of approximately 21.5%.

As of September 30, 2018, we had cumulatively issued 575,206 units and collected net proceeds of approximately $517.7 million from our $1.5 Billion Unit Offering. As of September 30, 2018, we had cumulatively issued 37,043 shares of Series M Preferred Stock and and collected net proceeds of approximately $35.9 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.

In addition, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, we issued approximately 986,000 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 $13.0 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 suspended this 20% limit.

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, grocery-anchored shopping centers, and Class A office buildings 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 97.4% interest as of September 30, 2018. 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 2018, given the continued job growth and improvements in consumer confidence. The 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 we believe the current level of occupancy nationwide will be difficult to measurably improve upon.

Multifamily Communities

The pipeline of new multifamily construction, although increasing nationwide in recent years, may be showing signs of declining going forward, or at least plateauing. The new supply coming on line to date has been generally in line with demand in most of our markets although we have seen some areas where demand is falling just short of new supply. 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. 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 2018 and these constraints cause a leveling out or decline in new multifamily “starts” in 2019 and 2020. As an offset, the 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. The cost of private capital, increasing interest rates over the last twelve months, 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. However, it is important to note that, currently, equity capital for multifamily product remains available and has fueled the demand for the product which has led to the recent cap rate compression. Currently, that availability of capital remains strong and the investment market for multifamily remains popular.

Even with the recent increases in U.S. Treasury yields, competitive lender spreads have maintained a generally favorable borrowing environment for multifamily owners and developers. While the combined impact of higher indexes and lower spreads has led to a net increase in overall rates, demand for multifamily product has not yet been deterred based on debt capital costs. Given the uncertainty around the world's financial markets, fueled in part by the new U.S. 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 seen rates rise 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 we move to the end of 2018, 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 increase 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 on production or capital retention rates 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 babyboom 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.

Student Housing Properties

Regarding the student housing industry, while we have not seen declining rents nationwide at the start of the 2018-2019 academic year, year over year preleasing numbers are slightly lower nationwide. Industry reports suggest that nationally, effective rent is $658 per bed, which represents a 1.5% increase from last year. Some university markets are seeing an average increase of 11.4% in off-campus student housing inventory. There were 47,000 student housing beds delivered across the country in the fall of 2018, with a forecast of 45,000 off campus student housing beds for fall of 2019 delivery. This inventory growth remains in line with recent years.

Industry reports estimate that there will be approximately 22.6 million students enrolled at US colleges by 2026. Industry reports also forecast US enrollment to grow by 1.1% annually from 2018 to 2023, while they estimate that undergraduate college enrollment will grow by an annual average of 1.5% over the next six years. We believe that the primary drivers of expanding enrollment will be moderate job growth, positive 18 to 24 year old population growth, and historically high enrollment rates of 68% to 70% over the next four years among high school graduates.

New Market Properties

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 current 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. We believe, notwithstanding the increase in longer-term U.S. Treasury yields, that the overall capital markets are pricing in stronger rent growth and higher long term occupancy levels, especially so in the grocery-anchored sector. We have also seen spreads tighten, making up for some of the rise in longer-term treasury yields. 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 Sunbelt grocery-anchored strategy.

We believe Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods 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. 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 and Kroger with Instacart) or formulated internal solutions (Walmart/in-store pickup and Kroger Pickup) 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 and we have seen our primary grocery store anchors, Publix and Kroger, react quickly and aggressively to bolster their e-commerce and delivery options, an example being Kroger's acquisition of an interest in Ocado, a UK-based company that is the world's largest dedicated online grocery retailer that has developed a proprietary end-to-end operating solution for online grocery retail. We do believe that there will continue to be margin pressure on grocers and this 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.

Preferred Office Properties

The office investment market continues to post healthy fundamentals across our current and target footprint, where we are primarily focused on high growth, non-“Gateway” markets. Due to banking reforms and conservative behavior among market participants, this cycle has been characterized by a historically low level of speculative office construction which is supporting continued good performance. While rising interest rates may challenge competitors over the coming months, we are uniquely insulated in our current portfolio through long-term leases, few vacancies, long-term fixed rate debt and no sale pressure. In the event of continued interest rate hikes we would expect to see a softening cap rate environment as real estate re-prices, and seek to take advantage of that through property acquisitions.

Critical Accounting Policies

In addition to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, 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. Accounting Standards Update 2017-01, or 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 business combinations 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.

Loan loss allowances

We evaluate each real estate loan investment for impairment at least quarterly. Impairment occurs when it is deemed probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan. If a loan is considered to be impaired, we record a loan loss allowance to reduce the carrying value of the loan to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s contractual effective rate or the fair value of the collateral, if repayment is expected solely via liquidation of the collateral.

Our loans are collateralized by real estate development projects and secured further by guaranties of repayment from one or more of the borrowers. As a result, we regularly evaluate the extent and impact of any credit deterioration associated with the performance and/or value of the underlying collateral property, as well as the financial and operating capability of the borrower. Specifically, a property’s operating results and any cash reserves are analyzed and used to assess (i) whether cash from operations is sufficient to cover the debt service requirements currently and into the future, (ii) the ability of the borrower to refinance the loan, and/or (iii) the property’s liquidation value. We also evaluate the financial wherewithal of any loan guarantors as well as the borrower’s competency in managing and operating the properties. In addition, we consider the overall economic environment, real estate sector, and geographic sub‑market in which the borrower operates. Such impairment analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management and finance personnel, who utilize various data sources, including periodic financial data such as property operating statements, occupancy, tenant profile, rental rates, operating expenses, the borrower’s exit plan, and capitalization and discount rates and site inspections.

•

For the third quarter 2018, our FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 92.8% and our FFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 66.1%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our FFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 74.5% and our FFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 60.1%.

•

For the third quarter 2018, our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 124.3% and our AFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 72.3%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, our AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders and Unitholders was approximately 91.2% and our AFFO payout ratio (before the deduction of preferred dividends) to our preferred stockholders was approximately 64.8%. ^(A)


•	Our FFO results reflect an impairment charge recorded on our Irvine real estate loan investment of approximately $3.0 million, or $0.07 per share for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018.


•	At September 30, 2018, the market value of our common stock was $17.58 per share. A hypothetical investment in our Common Stock in our initial public offering on April 5, 2011, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends and no transaction costs, would have resulted in an average annual return of approximately 24.4% through September 30, 2018.


•	As of September 30, 2018, the average age of our multifamily communities was approximately 5.3 years, which is the youngest in the public multifamily REIT industry.


•	Approximately 84.0% of our permanent property-level mortgage debt has fixed interest rates and approximately 6.4% has variable interest rates which are capped. We believe we are well protected against potential increases in market interest rates.


•	At September 30, 2018, our leverage, as measured by the ratio of our debt to the undepreciated book value of our total assets, was approximately 54.4 %. Our leverage calculation excludes the gross assets of approximately $262.2 million and liabilities of approximately $257.3 million that we consolidated as a result of our investment in the Freddie Mac K program.

•

As of September 30, 2018, our total assets were approximately $4.1 billion compared to approximately $2.9 billion as of September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $1.2 billion, or approximately 41.9%. This growth was driven primarily by the acquisition of 22 real estate properties (net of the sale of 2 properties). In addition, our assets increased due to the consolidation of the ML-04 pool.

•

Cash flow from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $38.8 million, an increase of approximately $10.7 million, or 38.1%, compared to approximately $28.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Cash flow from operations for the third quarter 2018 was more than sufficient to fund our aggregate dividends and distributions for the period, which totaled approximately $33.0 million.


•	On August 31, 2018, we closed on two real estate loan investments aggregating up to approximately $12.3 million in support of a multifamily community project in Fredericksburg, Virginia.


•	On September 28, 2018, we sold our Stone Rise multifamily community located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a gain of approximately $18.6 million, which resulted in an internal rate of return of approximately 21.5% from April 15, 2011, the date the property was acquired.

^(A)We calculate the AFFO payout ratio to Common Stockholders as the ratio of Common Stock dividends and distributions to preferred stockholders to AFFO. We calculate the AFFO payout ratio to preferred stockholders as the ratio of Preferred Stock dividends to the sum of Preferred Stock dividends and AFFO. 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.

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 10 and 60 basis points, depending on the loan.

⁽¹⁾The Company acquired and owns an approximate 99% equity interest in a joint venture which owns both Stadium Village and Ursa.

For property level revenues and operating expenses presented in this discussion, multifamily communities acquired prior to October 1, 2017 includes our multifamily established communities same store population, as well as multifamily communities acquired prior to October 1, 2017 which are undergoing renovations or significant capital projects, are adding additional phases, or have not yet become stabilized.

Rental Revenues

Rental revenue increased due primarily to properties acquired since October 1, 2017, as shown in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2018 versus 2017					2018 versus 2017

Total	$	23,569		100.0	%	$	60,240		100.0	%

In addition to incremental rental revenue from recent acquisitions, 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 acquired in prior periods. 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 period and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 versus 2017 were similarly due to the acquisitions listed above.

Interest income from our real estate loan investments increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018 versus 2017, primarily due to the recognition of approximately $4.3 million of interest income from the fees earned from the termination of purchase options on three multifamily communities and two student housing properties. The principal amount outstanding on our portfolio of real estate loan investments decreased to approximately $392.2 million at September 30, 2018 from $411.3 million at September 30, 2017. The total commitment amount of our real estate loan investment portfolio increased from approximately $504.0 million at September 30, 2017 to $515.5 million at September 30, 2018.

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 listed previously, as summarized 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.

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 property acquisitions listed previously, as summarized in the following table.

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 property acquisitions listed previously, as summarized in the following table.

Total	$	519		100.0	%	$	1,158		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 2018, 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:



	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2018 versus 2017					2018 versus 2017
(in thousands)	Increase					Increase

Total	$	15,595		100.0	%	$	45,023		100.0	%

The decreases in depreciation and amortization expense for multifamily communities acquired during 2011 - 2016 was due primarily to write-offs related to completed unit renovation projects and the amortization in full of acquired intangible assets such as in-place lease intangibles, which generally have estimated useful lives of less than one year in the multifamily communities segment.

Asset management fees and general and administrative expense 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 acquired office buildings, grocery-anchored shopping centers, student housing properties and multifamily communities listed previously and as detailed in note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, as well as by the previously-described expansion of our real estate loan investment portfolio from September 30, 2017 to September 30, 2018.

Insurance, professional fees and other expenses

The increases consisted of:



	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2018 versus 2017				2018 versus 2017
(in thousands)	Increase				Increase

Legal and other professional fees	39		7.0	%	266		19.8	%

Total	$	557	100.0	%	$	1,346	100.0	%

Waived asset management and general and administrative expense fees

The Manager may, in its discretion, waive some or all of the asset management, property management, or general and administrative fees for properties owned by the Company. The waived fees are converted at the time of this election into contingent fees, which are earned by the Manager 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.

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 $387,000 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.

Interest expense

Total	$	8,979		100.0	%	$	20,887		100.0	%

Gain on sale of real estate

We recognized a gain on the sale of the Lake Cameron multifamily community of approximately $20.4 million during the first quarter 2018 and a gain on the sale of the Stone Rise multifamily community of approximately $18.6 million during the third quarter 2018 . The combined gain of approximately $37.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was related to the sales of the Sandstone Creek, Ashford Park and Enclave at Vista Ridge multifamily communities.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures

We disclose FFO and AFFO, both of which meet the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure” set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result we are required to include in this filing a statement of why the Company believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors. Neither FFO nor AFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further FFO and AFFO should be compared with our reported net income or net loss and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. FFO and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

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

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. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO as a meaningful supplemental gauge of our operating results, and as is most often presented by other REIT industry participants.

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. 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 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:

FFO, plus:

• non-cash equity compensation to directors and executives;

• amortization of loan closing costs;

• losses on debt extinguishments or refinancing costs;

• weather-related property operating losses;

• amortization of loan coordination fees paid to the Manager;

• depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets;

• net loan fees received;

• accrued interest income received;

• loan loss allowance reserves;

• cash received for purchase option terminations;

• deemed dividends on preferred stock redemptions;

• 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, above and below market leases 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 may be 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 and AFFO are not considered measures of liquidity and are not alternatives to measures calculated under GAAP.

Notes to Reconciliations of FFO and AFFO to Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Common Stockholders

Rental and other property revenues and property operating expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 include activity for the multifamily community, office building and grocery-anchored shopping center acquired during the quarter only from their respective dates of acquisition. In addition, the third quarter 2018 period includes activity for the five multifamily communities, seven grocery-anchored shopping centers, five student housing properties and three office buildings acquired since September 30, 2017. Rental and other property revenues and expenses for the third quarter 2017 include activity for the acquisitions made during that period only from their respective dates of acquisition.

Non-controlling interests in our Operating Partnership consisted of a total of 1,068,400 Class A Units as of September 30, 2018. 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 2.59% and 2.62% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, respectively.

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 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 AFFO. 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 or refinancing. 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, 2018, aggregate unamortized loan coordination fees were approximately $13.0 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 10.2 years.

We sustained weather related operating losses due to Hurricane Harvey at our Stone Creek multifamily community during the nine months ended September 30, 2018; these costs are added back to FFO in our calculation of AFFO. Lost rent and other operating costs incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 totaled approximately $555,000. This number is offset by the receipt from our insurance carrier of approximately $588,000 for recoveries of lost rent, which was recognized in our statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

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 syndicated revolving line of credit with Key Bank National Association, or our Revolving Line of Credit. On March 23, 2018, but effective April 13, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity on the Revolving Line of Credit was increased from $150 million to $200 million. 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 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, 2018, aggregate unamortized loan costs were approximately $21.2 million, which will be amortized over a weighted average remaining loan life of approximately 7.6 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. Over the lives of certain loans, we accrue 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. This non-cash interest income is subtracted from FFO in our calculation of AFFO. The amount of additional accrued interest becomes an additive adjustment to FFO once received from the borrower (see note 7).


7)	This adjustment reflects the receipt during the periods presented of additional interest income (described in note 6 above) which was earned and accrued prior to those periods presented on various real estate loans.


8)	During the third quarter 2018, we recorded an approximate $3.0 million allowance for loss on our real estate loan investment to the developer of Fusion Apartments in Irvine, California, which is reflected on our statements of operations.


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)

On May 7, 2018, we terminated our existing purchase options on the Encore, Bishop Street and Hidden River multifamily communities and the Haven 46 and Haven Charlotte student housing properties, all of which are partially supported by real estate loan investments held by us. In exchange, we are to receive termination fees aggregating approximately $12.5 million from the developers. As of September 30, 2018, we have received approximately $4.6 million in cash of the recognized termination fees, which are added to FFO in our calculation of AFFO.

11)

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 our 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, 2018, the balance of unamortized below-market lease intangibles was approximately $43.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining lease period of approximately 8.9 years.


12)	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, as well as non-cash revenue earned from our investment in the collateralized mortgage-backed security in the Freddie Mac K Program.

13)

We deduct from FFO normally recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain our assets’ revenue streams in the calculation of AFFO. This adjustment also deducts from 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. See Capital Expenditures, Grocery-Anchored Shopping Center Portfolio, and Office Buildings Portfolio sections for definitions of these terms.

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 was $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. On March 23, 2018, but effective as of April 13, 2018, the maximum borrowing capacity was increased to $200.0 million pursuant to an accordion feature. 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, 2018, we had a balance owed of $55.7 million under the Revolving Line of Credit. Interest expense on the Revolving Line of Credit was approximately $2.1 million (excluding deferred loan cost amortization of approximately $0.7 million) and the weighted average interest rate was 5.14% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.

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 accrued interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and was repaid and extinguished during the first quarter 2018.

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, 2018, 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 Freddie Mac 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, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $112.0 million and $70.4 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 during 2017 and 2018 and an increase in cash collections of interest income from our portfolio of real estate loans and notes, including the receipt of approximately $4.6 million of termination fees from the sale of purchase options.

The majority of our revenue is derived from residents and tenants under existing leases at our multifamily communities, student housing properties, 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 $625.7 million and $427.0 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Disbursements for property acquisitions were approximately $662.9 million during the 2018 period and approximately $485.0 million during the 2017 period, partially offset by the receipt of approximately $83.6 million and $148.1 million from the sales of multifamily communities during the same respective periods. Disbursements of funds for real estate loans, net of repayments, were approximately $3.7 million during the 2018 period. Disbursements for real estate loans, net of repayments, were 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, 2018, our capital expenditures for our multifamily communities and student housing properties, not including changes in related payables were as follows:

In addition, second-generation capital expenditures within our grocery-anchored shopping center portfolio for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 totaled approximately $1.0 million. Second-generation capital expenditures exclude those expenditures made in our grocery-anchored shopping center 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 ownership standards (and which amounts were underwritten into the total investment at the time of acquisition), and (iii) for property re-developments and repositioning.

Second-generation capital expenditures within our office building portfolio for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 totaled approximately $116,000. 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.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $527.1 million and $356.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. During the 2018 period, our significant financing cash sources were approximately $386.6 million of proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions and approximately $303.4 million of net proceeds from our offerings of our Preferred Stock units. During the 2017 period, our significant financing cash sources were approximately $332.4 million of proceeds from the mortgage financing transactions and approximately $206.3 million of net proceeds from our offerings of our Preferred Stock units. Our significant uses of cash for financing activities during the 2018 period were $66.9 million for repayments of mortgage loan indebtedness and $91.3 million for dividend and distribution payments. Our significant uses of cash for financing activities during the 2017 period were $121.1 million for repayments of mortgage loan indebtedness, $84.5 million of net repayments on our revolving line of credit and $64.8 million for dividend and distribution payments.

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 2018 Common Stock dividend declaration of $0.255 per share represented an overall increase of 104.0% from our initial Common Stock dividend per share of $0.125 following our IPO, or an annualized dividend growth rate of approximately 14.4% 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 three-month period ended September 30, 2018, our aggregate dividends and distributions totaled approximately $33.0 million. Our cash flows from operating activities of approximately $38.8 million were sufficient to fund our cash dividend distributions for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018. 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, are 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. No sales were made pursuant to the 2016 ATM Offering during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

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, 2018, our outstanding debt (both secured and unsecured) was approximately 51.8% of the value of our tangible assets on a portfolio basis based on our estimates of fair market value at September 30, 2018. 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, 2018, we had long term mortgage indebtedness of approximately $2.1 billion, all of which was incurred by us in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of our real estate properties.

As of September 30, 2018, we had approximately $26.8 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, 2018, we had 1,069,842 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, subject to a floor exercise price of $19.50 per share of Common Stock for any warrants issued after February 15, 2017. 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, 2018, a total of 473,980 Warrants had been exercised into 9,479,600 shares of Common stock and a remaining 1,069,842 Warrants are outstanding as of September 30, 2018, with exercise prices ranging from $10.06 to $26.34 per share. If all the Warrants outstanding at September 30, 2018 became exercisable and were exercised, gross proceeds to us would be approximately $394.3 million and we would as a result issue an additional 21,396,840 shares of Common Stock.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2018, our contractual obligations consisted of the mortgage notes secured by our acquired properties and the Revolving Credit Facility. Based on a LIBOR rate of 2.26% at September 30, 2018, our estimated future required payments on these instruments were:



(in thousands)	Total		Less than one year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than five years
Mortgage debt obligations:
Interest	$	587,322	$	84,182	$	150,213	$	119,667	$	233,260
Principal	2,178,857		177,816		303,534		455,414		1,242,093
Line of Credit:
Interest	26		26		—		—		—
Principal	55,700		55,700		—		—		—
Total	$	2,821,905	$	317,724	$	453,747	$	575,081	$	1,475,353

In addition, we had unfunded real estate loan balances totaling approximately $123.3 million at September 30, 2018.

We have no recourse liability to the consolidated VIE liabilities of the ML-04 mortgage-backed pool.


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, 2018, we have variable rate mortgages on the properties listed in following table.



	Balance (in thousands)		Percentage of total mortgage indebtedness		LIBOR Cap		All-in Cap
Avenues at Creekside	$	39,904			5.0	%	6.6	%
Citi Lakes	41,779				4.3	%	6.5	%
The Tradition	30,000				3.3	%	7.3	%
The Bloc	28,966				3.3	%	6.8	%
Total capped floating-rate debt	140,649		6.46	%

Village at Baldwin Park	77,800				n/a		n/a
SoL	37,485				n/a		n/a
Ursa	31,400				n/a		n/a
Royal Lakes	9,580				n/a		n/a
Cherokee Plaza	24,839				n/a		n/a
Champions Village	27,400				n/a		n/a
Total uncapped floating-rate debt	208,504		9.57	%

Total floating-rate debt	$	349,153	16.02	%

Our Revolving Line of Credit accrued interest at a spread of 3.25% over LIBOR as of September 30, 2018; this combined rate is uncapped. 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 and no recourse liability or market or interest rate exposure to the consolidated VIE liabilities of the ML-04 mortgage-backed pool.

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, 2018, would increase by approximately $2.2 million on an annualized basis, or decrease by approximately $2.2 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 2.26% at September 30, 2018, 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 Financial 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, 2018, the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial 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 Financial 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 Financial Officer evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting to determine whether any change occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018 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.
