NOTE 1: Organization

Independence Realty Trust, Inc., or the Company, was formed on March 26, 2009 as a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. We are externally managed by a subsidiary of RAIT Financial Trust, or RAIT, a publicly traded Maryland REIT whose common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “RAS.” As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP, which we refer to as our operating partnership, and their subsidiaries. We currently hold a portfolio of apartment properties and intend to invest the net proceeds of our public offering described below in a diversified portfolio of apartment properties that have the potential to generate attractive returns. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through our operating partnership, of which we are the sole general partner.

On June 10, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-173391), or the prior registration statement, was declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act for a continuous offering of a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public at a price of $10.00 per share (subject to certain discounts) in the primary offering and $9.50 per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which we refer to collectively as our continuous offering. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, we satisfied the minimum offering amount of our offering as a result of our sale of 300,000 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $3,000 to RAIT NTR Holdings, LLC, or RAIT NTR, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of RAIT. Through April 8, 2013, we sold common stock pursuant to this registered continuous offering carried out in a manner consistent with offerings of non-listed REITs. Subsequently, we decided to sell shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering and terminate our continuous offering. Accordingly, we amended the prior registration statement on April 26, 2013 to terminate our continuous offering and describe the anticipated underwritten public offering, or the underwritten offering.

We subsequently determined to register the shares of common stock that were to be offered in the underwritten public offering by filing a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-188577), or the registration statement, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on May 14, 2013. On August 13, 2013, the SEC declared the registration statement effective and we announced the pricing of our public offering of 4,000,000 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $8.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $34.0 million. We also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 600,000 shares of common stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover overallotments, if any. The net proceeds of the offering were $31.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, prior to any exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option. We have used and intend to continue to use the net proceeds from the offering to acquire additional properties, redeem all of our and our operating partnership’s outstanding preferred securities and for general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2013, we owned nine apartment properties with 2,358 units located in six states.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of our operating partnership and other wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Revenue Recognition

Minimum rents are recognized on an accrual basis, over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. Any above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the lease term. Recoveries from residential tenants for utility costs are recognized as revenue in the period that the applicable costs are incurred.

e. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts

We make estimates of the collectability of our accounts receivable related to base rents, expense reimbursements and other revenue. We analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debt levels, tenant credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, tenants experiencing financial difficulties are analyzed and estimates are made in connection with expected uncollectible receivables. Our reported operating results are directly affected by management’s estimate of the collectability of accounts receivable.

f. Investments in Real Estate

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

We account for acquisitions of properties in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases for acquired in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. Purchase accounting is applied to assets and liabilities associated with the real estate acquired. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the acquisition of a joint venture interest, accounted for under the equity method of accounting, are capitalized as part of the cost of the investment.

Upon the acquisition of properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above and below-market leases, in-place leases and tenant relationships), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date. Based on these estimates, we allocate the initial purchase price to the applicable assets and liabilities. As final information regarding fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is received and estimates are refined, appropriate adjustments will be made to the purchase price allocation, in no case later than twelve months of the acquisition date.

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2013

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

In determining the fair value of the identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease. The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the lease term.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods, current market conditions and similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rental revenue during the expected lease-up periods based on current market demand. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases including leasing commissions, legal and other related costs. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the remaining lease terms.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of its investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management evaluates the long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and records an impairment charge when there is an indicator of impairment. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation expense for real estate assets are computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for equipment and fixtures. Expenditures for tenant improvements are capitalized and amortized over the initial term of each lease.

g. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•

Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•

Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new, whether the investment is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2013

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use prices and inputs that management believes are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3.

Fair value for certain of our Level 3 financial instruments is derived using internal valuation models. These internal valuation models include discounted cash flow analyses developed by management using current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular instrument, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the impact of our own credit spreads is also considered when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative contracts. Where appropriate, valuation adjustments are made to account for various factors, including bid-ask spreads, credit quality and market liquidity. These adjustments are applied on a consistent basis and are based on observable inputs where available. Management’s estimate of fair value requires significant management judgment and is subject to a high degree of variability based upon market conditions, the availability of specific issuer information and management’s assumptions.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. The fair value of mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique, which classifies this as a level 3 liability within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage indebtedness as of September 30, 2013 is $92,284 and $92,386, respectively. The carrying value and fair value of mortgage indebtedness as of December 31, 2012 was $92,413 and $95,827, respectively. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates cost due to the nature of these instruments.

h. Deferred Costs

We capitalize initial direct costs in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 310, “Receivables”. The costs are capitalized upon the execution of the loan or lease and amortized over the initial term of the corresponding loan or lease. Deferred loan costs are amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. Deferred leasing costs are amortized to amortization expense over the initial term of the lease.

i. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011. Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

j. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment”. This accounting standard amends existing guidance to resolve the diversity in practice about whether the guidance for real estate sales applies to a parent that ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary that is in substance real estate as a result of default on the subsidiary’s nonrecourse debt. This accounting standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2012. This standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 222, “Comprehensive Income”. This accounting standard amends existing guidance to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income by requiring entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In addition, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard that deferred the new presentation requirements about reclassification adjustments. Both of these accounting standards are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods with those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 6: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

On April 5, 2011, our board of directors approved and adopted the Long Term Incentive Plan, or our incentive plan, and the Independent Directors Compensation Plan, or the director plan. Our incentive plan provides for the grants of awards to our directors, officers and full-time employees (in the event we ever have employees), full-time employees of our advisor and its affiliates, full-time employees of entities that provide services to our advisor, directors of our advisor or of entities that provide services to it, certain of our consultants and certain consultants to our advisor and its affiliates or to entities that provide services to our advisor. The incentive plan authorizes the grant of restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other stock- or cash-based awards. On July 29, 2013, our board of directors and stockholders approved the amendment and restatement of our incentive plan to reduce the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder to 800,000 shares.

Under our Independent Directors Compensation Plan, which operates as a sub-plan of our incentive plan, each of our independent directors will receive 3,000 shares of common stock annually. In addition, our independent directors may elect to receive their annual fee in the form of our common shares or a combination of common shares and cash. On October 29, 2013, our compensation committee made the initial stock grant under the director plan so that our independent directors received 9,000 shares of our common stock, in the aggregate. These awards vested immediately.

We will account for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation—Stock Compensation”. Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense of the requisite service period, which is the vesting period. We have not granted any stock-based compensation to date. Stock-based compensation will be classified within general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations will be based on awards ultimately expected to vest, the amount of expense will be reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures will be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. Forfeitures will be estimated on experience of other companies in the same industry until entity-specific information is available.

Distribution Reinvestment Program

We had adopted a distribution reinvestment program, or the DRP, through which our stockholders could elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares of common stock in additional shares in lieu of receiving cash distributions. The common stock available under the DRP was reallocated to the underwritten offering when the amended registration statement was filed and the DRP was subsequently terminated. No selling commissions or dealer manager fees were paid on shares sold under the DRP.

NOTE 7: Related Party Transactions and Arrangements

Fees and Expenses Paid to Our Advisor

Effective as of May 7, 2013, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Advisory Agreement, or the amended and restated advisory agreement. The amended and restated advisory agreement was adopted primarily to adjust the advisor’s compensation and modify its duties to us.

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2013

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Pursuant to the terms of the amended advisory agreement, our advisor will be compensated as follows:

•

Annual base management fee of 0.75% of average gross real estate assets. Average gross real estate assets means the average of the aggregate book value of our real estate assets before reserves for depreciation or other similar noncash reserves. We will compute average gross real estate assets by taking the average of these book values at the end of each month during the quarter for which we are calculating the fee. The fee is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1875% of average gross real estate assets as of the last day of such quarter. In July 2013, our advisor agreed to an amendment to our advisory agreement, which provides that the gross assets attributable to the initial eight properties in our existing portfolio are excluded from the computation of the base management fee payable to the advisor, which amendment is retroactive to April 1, 2013. This agreement will have the effect of increasing our net income, or reducing our net loss, in future periods from what they otherwise would be. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 our advisor waived $0 and $494 of asset management fees, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 our advisor waived $205 and $615, respectively.

•

Beginning with the second quarter of 2013, we will pay our advisor an incentive fee based on our pre-incentive fee core funds from operations, or Core FFO, a non-GAAP measure as defined in the advisory agreement. The incentive fee is computed at the end of each fiscal quarter as follows:

•

no incentive fee in any fiscal quarter in which our pre-incentive fee Core FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.75% (7% annualized) of the cumulative gross amount of equity capital we have obtained; and

•

20% of the amount of our pre-incentive fee Core FFO that exceeds 1.75% (7% annualized) of the cumulative gross amount of equity capital we have obtained.

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 we paid $79 of incentive fees to our advisor.

Our advisor generally has responsibility for our day-to-day operations. Pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreement, we paid our advisor the fees described below.

•

We paid to our advisor an asset management fee that is payable quarterly in an amount equal to 0.1875% of the average invested assets as of the last day of the quarter, which equates to an annualized rate of 0.75% per annum. Average invested assets means the average of the aggregate book value of our assets invested in interests in, and loans secured by, real estate before reserves for depreciation or bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we paid $0 and $82 of asset management fees to our advisor, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, we paid $53 and $115 of asset management fees to our advisor, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 we had liabilities payable to our advisor for asset management fees of $4 and $80, respectively.

•

If our advisor provided services in connection with the financing of any third party debt that we obtain, we would pay the advisor a financing coordination fee equal to 1.0% of the amount available and/or outstanding under such financing, subject to certain limitations. We do not pay financing coordination fees in connection with debt provided by RAIT. The services our advisor may perform include, without limitation, searching for lenders in connection with a proposed refinancing and negotiating the terms of any proposed refinancing with such lenders. Our advisor may reallow some or all of this fee to reimburse third parties that it retains to procure any such refinancing. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we paid $0 and $102 of financing coordination fees to our advisor, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, we did not pay any financing coordination fees to our advisor. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had liabilities payable to our advisor for financing coordination fees of $0 and $102, respectively.

•

We may pay our advisor a disposition fee upon the sale of one or more of our properties in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) one-half of the commission that would be reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the asset or (b) 1% of the sale price of the asset. Payment of such fee may be made only if the advisor provides a substantial amount of services in connection with the sale of the asset. In addition, the amount paid when added to all other commissions paid to unaffiliated parties in connection with such sale shall not exceed the lesser of the commission that would be reasonable, customary and competitive in light of the size, type and location of the asset or an amount equal to 6% of the sale price of such asset. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not pay any disposition fees to our advisor.

In addition to the fees we pay to our advisor pursuant to the advisory agreement prior to May 7, 2013, we also reimbursed our advisor and its affiliates for the costs and expenses, subject to the limitations described below under the heading “2%/25% Guidelines.” We did not reimburse the advisor or its affiliates for services for which the advisor or its affiliates are entitled to compensation in the form of a separate fee. If the advisor or its affiliates perform services that are outside of the scope of the advisory agreement, we will compensate them at rates and in amounts agreed upon by the advisor and the independent directors. We reimburse

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2013

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

our advisor for acquisition expenses up to a maximum amount which, collectively with all acquisition fees and expenses, will not exceed, in the aggregate, 6% of the gross offering proceeds from our continuous offering.

•

We may reimburse our advisor for certain costs it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us including, but not limited to: (i) organization and offering costs in an amount up to 1% of gross offering proceeds, which include actual legal, accounting, printing and expenses attributable to preparing the SEC registration statement, qualification of the shares for sale in the states and filing fees incurred by the advisor, as well as reimbursements for salaries and direct expenses of its employees, including, without limitation, employee benefits, while engaged in registering the shares and other organization costs, other than selling commissions and the dealer manager fee; (ii) advertising expenses, expense reimbursements, and legal and accounting fees; (iii) the actual cost of goods and materials used by us and obtained from entities not affiliated with the advisor; (iv) administrative services (including personnel costs; provided, however, that no reimbursement shall be made for costs of personnel to the extent that such personnel perform services in transactions for which the advisor receives a separate fee); and (v) rent, leasehold improvement costs, utilities or other administrative items generally constituting our advisor’s overhead. We will not reimburse the advisor for any services for which we will pay the advisor a separate fee. For the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, our advisor incurred $0 and $288 of organization and offering costs, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, our advisor incurred $79 and $622 of organization and offering costs, respectively. During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2013, we reimbursed our advisor for $0 and $3, respectively, of organization and offering costs.

•

We reimburse our advisor for expenses it incurs in connection with our purchase of an asset. The acquisition fees and expenses for any particular asset, including amounts payable to affiliates, will not exceed, in the aggregate, 6% of the contract purchase price (including any mortgage assumed) of the asset. Our advisor will be paid acquisition expenses and we will reimburse our advisor for acquisition expenses only to the extent that acquisition fees and acquisition expenses collectively do not exceed 6% of the contract price of our assets. For the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we did not reimburse our advisor for any acquisition expenses.

•

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, our advisor reimbursed us for $134 of transfer agent costs we incurred from January 2013 through May 2013 in connection with the continuous offering.

2%/25% Guidelines

Our charter was amended on May 7, 2013. The amendments included removing the 2%/25% Guidelines.

Commencing on the fourth fiscal quarter following the quarter ended June 30, 2011 through May 7, 2013 our advisor was required to reimburse us for the amounts, if any, by which our total REIT operating expenses paid during the previous fiscal year exceed the greater of:

•

2% of our average invested assets for that fiscal year; or

•

25% of our net income for that fiscal year;

provided, however, that only so much of the excess specified above was required to be reimbursed as the board of directors, including a majority of the independent directors, determined should justifiably be reimbursed in light of any unanticipated, unusual or non-recurring factors. Within 60 days after the end of the quarter for which the excess occurred, we were required to send to the stockholders a written disclosure and explanation of the factors the independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that the higher total operating expenses were justified. Operating expenses were defined for this purpose as all expenses paid or incurred by us, as determined under GAAP, that were in any way related to our operation, including advisory fees, but excluding (i) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and stock exchange listing of our stock; (ii) interest payments; (iii) taxes; (iv) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves; (v) reasonable incentive fees based on the gain from the sale of our assets; and (vi) acquisition fees and expenses (including expenses relating to potential investments that we did not close), disposition fees on the resale of property and other expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition and ownership of real estate interests, loans or other property (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property).

Selling Commissions and Fees Paid to our Dealer Manager

The dealer manager for our continuous offering of common stock was IR Securities, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of RAIT. IR Securities is a licensed broker-dealer registered with FINRA. IR Securities did not participate in the underwritten offering and our agreement with IR Securities was terminated when we terminated our continuous offering. IR Securities was entitled to

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of September 30, 2013

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

certain selling commissions, dealer manager fees and reimbursements relating to raising capital in connection with the continuous offering. Our agreement with IR Securities provided for the following compensation relating to the continuous offering:

•

We paid IR Securities selling commissions of up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from our continuous offering. IR Securities reallowed all or a portion of commissions earned for those transactions that involve participating broker-dealers. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we did not pay any selling commissions to IR Securities.

•

We paid IR Securities a dealer manager fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from our continuous offering. IR Securities, in its sole discretion, could reallow a portion of its dealer manager fee of up to 1.5% of the gross offering proceeds to be paid to such participating broker-dealers. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013, we paid $0 and $4 of dealer manager fees to IR Securities, respectively. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, we did not pay any dealer manager fees to IR Securities.

•

We reimbursed IR Securities for its reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses and reimbursed it for reimbursements it could make to broker-dealers for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses which are included in a detailed and itemized invoice. Reimbursement of these amounts, combined with the reimbursement of all other organizational and offering costs, was not to exceed 15% of the gross proceeds raised in our continuous offering. For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, IR Securities did not incur any reimbursable due diligence expenses.

Property Management Fees Paid to Our Property Manager

We have entered into property management agreements with Jupiter Communities, LLC, or our property manager, which is majority owned by RAIT, with respect to each of our properties. Pursuant to the property management agreements, we pay our property manager property management and leasing fees on a monthly basis of an amount up to 4.0% of the gross revenues from the property for each month. Additionally, we may pay our property manager a separate fee for the one-time initial rent-up or leasing-up of newly constructed properties in an amount not to exceed the fee customarily charged in arm’s length transactions by others rendering similar services in the same geographic area for similar properties as determined by a survey of brokers and agents in such area. Each management agreement has an initial one year term, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless either party gives prior notice of its desire to terminate the management agreement.

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including any statements concerning investment objectives, other plans and objectives of management for future operations or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto) are forward-looking statements. These statements are only predictions. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees. Actual events or our investments and results of operations could differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “predict,” “potential” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology.

The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs, which involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:

•

the fact that we have a limited operating history;

•

our ability to effectively deploy the proceeds we raised in our underwritten public offering of common stock;

•

changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically;

•

legislative or regulatory changes (including changes to the laws governing the taxation of REITs);

•

the availability of capital;

•

interest rates; and

•

changes to generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP.

Any of the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements included herein could be inaccurate, and undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements included herein. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date this quarterly report is filed with the SEC, and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed herein will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements made herein, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason.

All forward-looking statements included herein should be read in light of the factors identified in Exhibit 99.1, attached to this report, “Risk Factors” .

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation that owns well-located apartment properties in geographic submarkets that we believe support strong occupancy and have the potential for growth in rental rates. We seek to provide stockholders with attractive risk-adjusted returns, with an emphasis on distributions and capital appreciation. We are externally advised by a wholly-owned subsidiary of RAIT Financial Trust (NYSE: RAS), a REIT that invests primarily in commercial mortgages and, to a lesser extent, apartment properties and RAIT is our largest stockholder. Each of our apartment properties is managed by Jupiter, a majority owned subsidiary of RAIT. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011.

We acquire and operate apartment properties that:

•

have stable occupancy rates and resident bases;

•

are located in submarkets that we do not expect to experience substantial new apartment construction in the foreseeable future;

•

in appropriate circumstances, have opportunities for repositioning or updating through capital expenditures; and

•

provide opportunities to apply tailored marketing and management strategies designed to attract and retain residents and enable rent increases.

As of September 30, 2013, we own nine apartment properties containing an aggregate of 2,358 apartment units. We refer to these apartment properties as our “existing portfolio.” As of September 30, 2013, our existing portfolio had an average occupancy of 94.1% and an average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit of $789.

We were formed in 2009. Since our formation, we have sold our common stock in two public offerings. From June 10, 2011 to April 8, 2013 we engaged in a registered continuous offering carried out in a manner consistent with offerings of non-listed REITs and sold 348,300 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million, including $0.5 million from unaffiliated investors. On August 13, 2013, we engaged in an underwritten public offering of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock for $8.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $34.0 million and listed our common stock for trading on the NYSE MKT. After giving effect to our underwritten public offering, the percent of our outstanding common stock held by RAIT was reduced from 99% to 60%. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $31.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used and intend to continue to use the net proceeds from the offering to acquire additional properties, redeem all of our and our operating partnership’s outstanding preferred securities and for general corporate purposes.

(1)

All dates are for the year in which a renovation program was completed, except for Runaway Bay, which is the year construction was completed. The year construction was completed for each of the other properties is: Belle Creek - 2002; Berkshire Square – 1970; Centrepoint - 1995; Copper Mill - 1984; Crestmont - 1987; Cumberland Glen - 1987; Heritage Trace - 1973; and Tresa at Arrowhead - 1998.

(2)	Units represents the total number of apartment units available for rent at September 30, 2013.

(3)	Average occupancy for each of our properties is calculated as (i) total units rented as of September 30, 2013 divided by (ii) total units available as of September 30, 2013, expressed as a percentage.

(4)	Average monthly effective rent per occupied unit represents the average monthly rent for all occupied units for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

(5)

Does not include 6,256 square feet of retail space in six units, of which 1,010 square feet of space is occupied by Jupiter for use as the leasing office. The remaining 5,246 square feet of space is 100% occupied by five tenants with an average monthly base rent of $1,487, or $15.40 per square foot per year.

(6)	We do not report average effective rent per unit in the month of acquisition as it is not representative of a full month of operations.

On October 16, 2013, our operating partnership entered into an agreement of purchase and sale, or the purchase agreement, with Kola Investments, LLC, or the seller, regarding a portfolio, or the Oklahoma portfolio, of five apartment properties located around Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the purchase agreement, the purchase price for the Oklahoma portfolio is $65,000,000 payable as follows: (1) a deposit of $650,000 comprised of an initial deposit of $250,000 paid at signing and an additional deposit of $400,000 to be paid after the expiration of the due diligence period on November 15, 2013, (2) the assumption by our operating partnership at the closing under the purchase agreement of indebtedness to which the Oklahoma portfolio and seller are subject with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $46,100,000 at October 16, 2013 and (3) the balance of the purchase price, after any defined adjustments, in cash. We cannot provide any assurances that we will complete the acquisition contemplated by the purchase agreement. The closing is subject to customary terms and conditions and we may terminate the purchase agreement with or without cause prior to the expiration of the due diligence period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

We believe that FFO and Core FFO, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles.

Core FFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including acquisition expenses, expensed costs related to the issuance of shares of our common stock and equity-based compensation expenses, from the determination of FFO. We incur acquisition expenses in connection with acquisitions of real estate properties and expense those costs when incurred in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these expenses are one-time and reflective of investing activities rather than operating performance, we add back these costs to FFO in determining Core FFO.

Our calculation of Core FFO differs from the methodology used for calculating Core FFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to Core FFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and Core FFO as measures of our operating performance, and believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization expenses, and acquisition expenses and pursuit costs that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and that may not accurately compare our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, Core FFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we also believe that FFO and Core FFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. We will also use Core FFO for purposes of determining the quarterly incentive fee, if any, payable to our advisor beginning with the second quarter of 2013. See “Our Advisor, Our Property Manager and Related Agreements—Compensation to Our Advisor and Our Property Manager.”

Neither FFO nor Core FFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and Core FFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor Core FFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Core FFO for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Results of Operations

Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2012

Our total revenue increased $0.8 million to $4.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $4.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to a property we acquired on October 11, 2012 along with improved occupancy and rental rates as compared to occupancies and rental rates in 2012.

Our expenses increased $0.3 million to $3.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $3.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. Expenses were comprised primarily of property operating expenses which increased $0.3 million to $2.4 million from $2.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 and depreciation and amortization which increased $0.2 million to $1.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $0.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to a property we acquired on October 11, 2012. We incurred asset management fees during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $0.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively. We incurred certain general and administrative expenses related to audit and other professional fees, trustee fees and other federal and state filing fees during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Our interest expense increased $0.1 million to $0.9 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $0.8 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is attributable to the mortgage indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of a property that we acquired on October 11, 2012.

Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 Compared to the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2012

Our total revenue increased $2.1 million to $14.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $12.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to a property we acquired on October 11, 2012 along with improved occupancy and rental rates.

Our expenses increased $1.2 million to $10.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $9.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. Expenses were comprised primarily of property operating expenses which increased $0.9 million to $6.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $5.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 and depreciation and amortization which increased $0.6 million to $3.1 million from $2.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily attributable to a property we acquired on October 11, 2012. We incurred asset management fees during the nine-months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $0.2 million. We incurred certain general and administrative expenses related to audit and other professional fees, trustee fees and other federal and state filing fees during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 of $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2013, our advisor reimbursed $0.1 million of transfer agent costs that were incurred from January 2013 through May 2013. This reimbursement reduced our general and administrative expenses during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013.

Our advisor waived $0.5 million and $0.6 million of asset management fees for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. If our advisor had not waived the asset management in such periods, such fees would have reduced net income (loss) allocable to common shares by $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Our interest expense increased $0.3 million to $2.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 from $2.4 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012. The increase is attributable to the mortgage indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of a property on October 11, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs.

We believe our available cash balances, the proceeds of the underwritten offering discussed below, other financing arrangements and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next 12 months. We expect that the capital we have raised in our underwritten offering, together with borrowings we may obtain and the future acquisitions we expect to make as a result of the completion of our underwritten offering will have a significant impact on our future results of operations. In general, we expect that our income and expenses related to our portfolio will increase in future periods as a result of anticipated future acquisitions of real estate. Should our liquidity needs exceed our available sources of liquidity, we believe that we could sell assets to raise additional cash. We may not be able to obtain additional financing when we desire to do so or on terms and conditions acceptable to us. If we fail to obtain additional financing, our ability to maintain or grow our business will be constrained.

Our primary cash requirements are to:

•

make investments and fund the associated costs;

•

repay our indebtedness;

•

pay our operating expenses, including fees paid to our advisor and our property manager; and

•

distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

We intend to meet these liquidity requirements primarily through:

•

the use of our cash and cash equivalent balance of $16.5 million as of September 30, 2013;

•

cash generated from operating activities;

•

if required, proceeds from future borrowings and offerings.

Since our formation, we have sold our common stock in two public offerings. From June 10, 2011 to April 8, 2013 we engaged in a registered continuous offering carried out in a manner consistent with offerings of non-listed REITs and sold 348,300 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $3.5 million, including $0.5 million from unaffiliated investors. On August 13, 2013, we engaged in an underwritten public offering of 4,000,000 shares of our common stock for $8.50 per share for total gross proceeds of approximately $34.0 million and listed our common stock for trading on the NYSE MKT. After giving effect to our underwritten public offering, the percent of our outstanding common stock held by RAIT was reduced from 99% to 60%. The net proceeds of the offering were approximately $31.1 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses. We used and intend to continue to use the net proceeds from the offering to acquire additional properties, redeem all of our and our operating partnership’s outstanding preferred securities and for general corporate purposes. We will depend on the net proceeds of this underwritten offering and any future offerings in which we engage, together with the proceeds of debt financings, to meet our investment objectives of acquiring, owning and operating a portfolio of apartment properties.

We will seek to enhance our growth through the use of prudent amounts of leverage. In general, we intend to limit our aggregate leverage to 70% of the combined initial purchase price of all of our real estate properties. During the period following the underwritten offering, we may employ greater leverage in order to more quickly build a diversified portfolio of assets.

On October 25, 2013, we entered into a $20 million secured revolving credit agreement with The Huntington National Bank to be used to acquire properties, capital expenditures and for general corporate purposes. The facility has a 3-year term, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% and contains customary financial covenants for this type of revolving credit agreement.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, we maintained cash and cash equivalents of approximately $16.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):


	For the Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30
	2013			2012
Cash flow from operating activities	$	3,726		$	2,841
Cash flow from investing activities		(14,076	)		(992	)
Cash flow from financing activities		24,343			662

Net change in cash and cash equivalents		13,993			2,511
Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period		2,533			1,107

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period	$	16,526		$	3,618

Our increased cash inflow from operating activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 is due to the acquisition of a property on October 11, 2012 along with improved occupancy and rental rates.

Our increased cash outflow from investing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 is due to the acquisition of a property on September 19, 2013.

The increased cash flow from our financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 is substantially due to the completion of our underwritten public offering.

Item 2.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013, our company did not repurchase any of our equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act. We previously disclosed our issuances during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2013 of equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013.

On June 10, 2011, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-173391) for a continuous offering of a minimum of 250,000 shares and a maximum of 100,000,000 shares of common stock for sale to the public at a price of $10.00 per share (subject to certain discounts) in the primary offering and $9.50 per share pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which we refer to collectively as our continuous offering, was initially declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. Independence Realty Securities, LLC, an affiliate of RAIT, served as the dealer manager for the continuous offering. As of September 30, 2013, we had sold 348,300 shares of our common stock for $10.00 per share for total gross proceeds of $3,483,000, including 300,000 shares sold to a subsidiary of RAIT. Through the filing date of this report, we used $2,012,500 of the proceeds of our offering to partially fund the purchase price for Runaway Bay Apartments and the remaining $1,470,500 to partially fund the purchase price for Berkshire Square described above. As described above, we have filed the amended registration statement to terminate the continuous offering.

From the effective date of our registration statement through September 30, 2013, we incurred actual selling commissions, dealer manager fees and organization and other offering costs in our offering in the amounts set forth below. The dealer manager reallowed all of the selling commissions and a portion of the dealer manager fee to participating broker-dealers.


Type of Expense	Amount		Percentage of Offering Proceeds
Selling commissions	$	37,305		1.07	%
Dealer manager fees		10,995		0.32	%
Other organization and other offering costs		34,830		1.00	%

Total expenses related to the offering	$	83,130		2.39	%

From the commencement of the offering through September 30, 2013, the net offering proceeds to us, after deducting the total expenses related to the offering as described above, were $3,399,870. We have issued 340 shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan through September 30, 2013. On April 26, 2013, we filed the amended registration statement which reallocated the common stock available under the DRP to the underwritten offering and subsequently terminated the DRP.
