EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2013 of American Campus Communities, Inc. and American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P.. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “ACC” mean American Campus Communities, Inc. a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “ACCOP” mean American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. The following chart illustrates the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s corporate structure:

The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of March 31, 2013, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties. As of March 31, 2013, ACC owned an approximate 98.8% limited partnership interest in ACCOP. As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and ACC contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, ACC receives a number of units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units,” see definition below) equal to the number of common shares it has issued in the equity offering. Contributions of properties to the Company can be structured as tax-deferred transactions through the issuance of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. Based on the terms of ACCOP’s partnership agreement, OP Units can be exchanged for ACC’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company maintains a one-for-one relationship between the OP Units of the Operating Partnership issued to ACC and ACC Holdings and the common shares issued to the public. The Company believes that combining the reports on Form 10-Q of ACC and ACCOP into this single report provides the following benefits:

	(1)	enhances investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
	(2)	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and
	(3)	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC essentially has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in ACCOP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. However, the Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the entities operate as a consolidated company. All of the Company’s property ownership, development and related business operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership. ACC also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of ACCOP, as disclosed in this report. ACC does not have any indebtedness, as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from ACC’s equity offerings, which are contributed to the capital of ACCOP in exchange for OP Units on a one-for-one common share per OP Unit basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include, but are not limited to, the Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its credit facility, and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties. Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity, and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements consist of the interests of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated joint ventures. The noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level and OP Unit holders of the Operating Partnership. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. A single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership when applicable (for example, noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, earnings per share or unit, etc.). A combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents discrete information related to each entity, as applicable. This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the Company operates its business through the Operating Partnership. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

1.	Organization and Description of Business

The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of March 31, 2013, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties. As of March 31, 2013, ACC owned an approximate 98.8% limited partnership interest in ACCOP. As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management. Management operates ACC and ACCOP as one business. The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC does not have significant assets other than its investment in ACCOP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of ACC and ACCOP are the same on their respective financial statements. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2013, our property portfolio contained 160 properties with approximately 98,900 beds in approximately 31,900 apartment units. Our property portfolio consisted of 143 owned off-campus student housing properties that are in close proximity to colleges and universities, 13 American Campus Equity (“ACE®”) properties operated under ground/facility leases with six university systems and four on-campus participating properties operated under ground/facility leases with the related university systems. Of the 160 properties, nine were under development as well as an additional phase under development at an existing property as of March 31, 2013, and when completed will consist of a total of approximately 6,200 beds in approximately 1,700 units. Our communities contain modern housing units and are supported by a resident assistant system and other student-oriented programming, with many offering resort-style amenities.

Through one of ACC’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), we also provide construction management and development services, primarily for student housing properties owned by colleges and universities, charitable foundations, and others. As of March 31, 2013, also through one of ACC’s TRSs, we provided third-party management and leasing services for 30 properties that represented approximately 23,700 beds in approximately 9,400 units. Third-party management and leasing services are typically provided pursuant to management contracts that have initial terms that range from one to five years. As of March 31, 2013, our total owned and third-party managed portfolio included 190 properties with approximately 122,600 beds in approximately 41,300 units.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in U.S. dollars, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions among consolidated entities have been eliminated. All dollar amounts in the tables herein, except share, per share, unit and per unit amounts, are stated in thousands unless otherwise indicated. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company for these interim periods have been included. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for other interim periods or for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

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, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at historical cost. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. The cost of ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Depreciation and amortization are recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Buildings and improvements		7-40 years
Leasehold interest - on-campus participating properties		25-34 years (shorter of useful life or respective lease term)
Furniture, fixtures and equipment		3-7 years

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of an owned real estate project, which include interest, property taxes, and amortization of deferred finance costs, are capitalized as construction in progress. Upon completion of the project, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation commences. Interest totaling approximately $2.3 million and $2.5 million was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs totaling approximately $0.1 million was capitalized as construction in progress during both three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Management assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of the Company’s investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the conditions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. The Company believes that there were no impairments of the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of March 31, 2013.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on relative fair values. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property, our own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in our portfolio, and other market data. Information obtained about each property as a result of due diligence, marketing and leasing activities is also considered. The value allocated to land is generally based on the actual purchase price adjusted to fair value (as necessary) if acquired separately, or market research / comparables if acquired as part of an existing operating property. The value allocated to building is based on the fair value determined on an “as-if vacant” basis, which is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon internally determined assumptions that we believe are consistent with current market conditions for similar properties. The value allocated to furniture, fixtures, and equipment is based on an estimate of the fair value of the appliances and fixtures inside the units.

Long-Lived Assets–Held for Sale

Long-lived assets to be disposed of are classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the asset.

The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets.

An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated.

The sale of the asset is probable, and transfer of the asset is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year.

The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value.

Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Concurrent with this classification, the asset is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs, and depreciation ceases.

Intangible Assets

A portion of the purchase price of acquired properties is allocated to the value of in-place leases for both student and commercial tenants, which is based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued “as-if” vacant. As lease terms for student leases are typically one year or less, rates on in-place leases generally approximate market rental rates. Factors considered in the valuation of in-place leases include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period considering current market conditions, nature of the tenancy, and costs to execute similar leases. Carrying costs include estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, as well as marketing and other operating expenses. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining initial term of the respective leases. The purchase price of property acquisitions is not expected to be allocated to student tenant relationships, considering the terms of the leases and the expected levels of renewals.

Amortization expense related to in-place leases was approximately $5.5 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was approximately $17.6 million and $12.4 million, respectively. Intangible assets, net of amortization, are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Debt Premiums and Discounts

Debt premiums and discounts represent fair value adjustments to account for the difference between the stated rates and market rates of debt assumed in connection with the Company’s property acquisitions. The debt premiums and discounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related loans using the effective-interest method. The amortization of debt premiums and discounts resulted in a net decrease to interest expense of approximately $3.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, net unamortized debt premiums were approximately $86.1 million and $90.1 million, respectively, and net unamortized debt discounts were approximately $3.1 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Debt premiums and discounts are included in secured mortgage, construction and bond debt on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortization of debt premiums and discounts is included in interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Limited Partners

The Company classifies Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Limited Partners in the mezzanine section of the accompanying consolidated balance sheets for the portion of common and preferred Operating Partnership units (“OP Units”) that the Operating Partnership is required, either by contract or securities law, to deliver registered common shares of ACC to the exchanging OP unit holder. The redeemable noncontrolling interest units / redeemable limited partner units are adjusted to the greater of carrying value or fair market value based on the common share price of ACC at the end of each respective reporting period.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue and Costs

Pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects are expensed as incurred, until such time that management believes it is probable that the contract will be executed and/or construction will commence. Because the Company frequently incurs these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained, the Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations. As such, management evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis and expenses any deferred costs related to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is unlikely and/or the costs may not provide future value to the Company in the form of revenues. Such write-offs are included in third-party development and management services expenses (in the case of third-party development projects) or general and administrative expenses (in the case of owned development projects) on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income. As of March 31, 2013, the Company has deferred approximately $3.3 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction. Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings per Share – Company

Basic earnings per share is computed using net income attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of OP Units and common share awards granted. Only those items having a dilutive impact on basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share.

6. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned a noncontrolling interest in one unconsolidated joint venture that is accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. The investment consists of a noncontrolling equity interest in a joint venture with the United States Navy that owns military housing privatization projects located on naval bases in Norfolk and Newport News, Virginia. In 2010, the Company discontinued applying the equity method in regards to its investment in this joint venture as a result of the Company’s share of losses exceeding its investment in the joint venture. Because the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of the investee and is not otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the investee, it therefore suspended recording its share of losses once the investment was reduced to zero. We also earn fees for providing management services to this joint venture, which totaled approximately $0.4 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Total debt	$	2,291,407		$	2,221,105

(1)

Construction loans payable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 includes $27.3 million and $12.7 million, respectively, related to two constructions loans that are financing the development and construction of Townhomes at Newtown Crossing and The Lodges of East Lansing Phase II, both VIEs the Company is including in its consolidated financial statements (see Note 4). The creditors of these construction loans do not have recourse to the assets of the Company.

Unsecured Credit Facility

The Company has an aggregate Credit Facility of $800 million, which is composed of a $350 million unsecured term loan and a $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility, and may be expanded by up to an additional $100 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The maturity dates of the unsecured term loan and unsecured revolving credit facility are January 10, 2017 and January 10, 2016, respectively. The maturity date of the unsecured revolving credit facility can be extended for an additional 12 months to January 10, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Each loan bears interest at a variable rate, at the Company’s option, based upon a base rate or one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR, plus, in each case, a spread based upon the Company's investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Rating Group. The Company has entered into multiple interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $350 million that effectively fix the interest rate to 2.54% (0.89% + 1.65% spread) on the outstanding balance of the unsecured term loan (see Note 11 for more details).

Availability under the revolving credit facility is limited to an "aggregate borrowing base amount" equal to 60% of the value of the Company’s unencumbered properties, calculated as set forth in the Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a facility fee of 0.30% per annum on the $450 million revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2013, the revolving credit facility bore interest at a weighted average annual rate of 1.96% (inclusive of the facility fee discussed above), and availability under the revolving credit facility totaled $129.0 million.

The terms of the Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other items, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, and the disposition of assets. The facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain minimum ratios of "EBITDA" (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to fixed charges and total indebtedness. The Company may not pay distributions that exceed a specified percentage of funds from operations, as adjusted, for any four consecutive quarters. The financial covenants also include consolidated net worth and leverage ratio tests. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Secured Agency Facility

The Company has a $125 million secured revolving credit facility with a Freddie Mac lender. The facility has a five-year term and is currently secured by 10 properties referred to as the “Collateral Pool.” The facility bears interest at one- or three-month LIBOR plus a spread that varies based on the debt service ratio of the Collateral Pool. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee of 1.0% per annum. As of March 31, 2013, the secured agency facility bore interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.25%. The secured agency facility includes some, but not all, of the same financial covenants as the unsecured credit facility, described above. As of March 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

8. Stockholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital

In March 2013, the Company established a new at-the-market share offering program (the “ATM Equity Program”) through which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million. Actual sales under the program will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock and determinations of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company. The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM Equity Program and has $500.0 million available for issuance under this program as of March 31, 2013.

9. Noncontrolling Interests

Operating Partnership

Partially-owned properties: As of March 31, 2013, the Operating Partnership consolidates four joint ventures that own and operate The Varsity, University Village at Sweet Home, University Centre and Villas at Chestnut Ridge owned-off campus properties. The portion of net assets attributable to the third-party partners in these joint ventures is classified as “noncontrolling interests - partially owned properties” within capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the third-party partners’ share of the income or loss of the joint ventures is reported on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income of the Operating Partnership as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests – partially owned properties.”

OP Units: For the portion of OP Units that the Operating Partnership is required, either by contract or securities law, to deliver registered common shares of ACC to the exchanging OP unit holder, or for which the Operating Partnership has the intent or history of exchanging such units for cash, we classify the units as “redeemable limited partners” in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership and “redeemable noncontrolling interests” in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets of ACC. The units classified as such include Series A preferred units as well as common units that are not held by ACC or ACC Holdings. The value of redeemable limited partners/redeemable noncontrolling interests on the consolidated balance sheets is reported at the greater of fair value or historical cost at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to limited partner’s capital on the consolidated statement of changes in capital of the Operating Partnership and to additional paid in capital on the consolidated statement of changes in equity of ACC. Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable limited partners/redeemable noncontrolling interests for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

Balance, December 31, 2012	$	57,534
Net income		279
Distributions		(428	)

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 88,457 common OP units were converted into an equal number of shares of ACC’s common stock and none were converted during the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, approximately 1.2% of the equity interests of the Operating Partnership were held by owners of common OP Units and Series A preferred units not held by ACC or ACC Holdings.

Company

The noncontrolling interests of the Company include the third-party equity interests in partially-owned properties, as discussed above, which are presented as a component of equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s noncontrolling interests also include the redeemable limited partners presented in the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership, which are referred to as “redeemable noncontrolling interests” in the mezzanine section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests on the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income include the income/loss attributable to third-party equity interests in partially-owned properties, as well as the income/loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests (i.e. OP Units not held by ACC or ACC Holdings.)

10. Incentive Award Plan

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”)

A summary of ACC’s RSAs under the Plan as of March 31, 2013 and activity during the three months then ended, is presented below:

	Number of RSAs
Nonvested balance at December 31, 2012		575,668
Granted		230,800
Vested		(111,533	)
Forfeited		(75,581	)
Nonvested balance at March 31, 2013		619,354

The fair value of RSA’s is calculated based on the closing market value of ACC’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized to expense over the vesting periods, which amounted to approximately $1.6 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

11. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. No portion of designated hedges was ineffective during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company has four interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $350 million to hedge the variable cash flows associated with interest payments on the LIBOR-based unsecured term loan. In addition, the Company has an interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $31.7 million used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Cullen Oaks Phase I and Phase II loans.

The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap contracts as of March 31, 2013:

12. Fair Value Disclosures

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. 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 instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s 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 or liability.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swaps, for nontrading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk arising from previously unhedged interest payments associated with variable rate debt. Through March 31, 2013, derivative financial instruments were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Derivative contracts with positive net fair values inclusive of net accrued interest receipts or payments are recorded in other assets. Derivative contracts with negative net fair values, inclusive of net accrued interest payments or receipts, are recorded in other liabilities. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparty. However, as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. As a result, the Company has determined each of its derivative valuations in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership have a redemption feature and are marked to their redemption value. The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and therefore, is calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date. Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Student Contracts Receivable, Loans Receivable, Other Assets, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities: The Company estimates that the carrying amount approximates fair value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.

Derivative Instruments: These instruments are reported on the balance sheet at fair value, which is based on calculations provided by independent, third-party financial institutions and represent the discounted future cash flows expected, based on the projected future interest rate curves over the life of the instrument.

Unsecured Term Loan, Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility, Secured Agency Facility and Construction Loans: The fair value of these instruments approximates carrying values due to the variable interest rate feature of these instruments.

Mortgage Loans Payable: The fair value of mortgage loans payable is based on the present value of the cash flows at current market interest rates through maturity. The Company has concluded the fair value of these financial instruments are Level 2 as the majority of the inputs used to value these instruments fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Bonds Payable: The fair value of bonds payable is based on quoted prices in markets that are not active due to the unique characteristics of these financial instruments, as such, the Company has concluded the inputs used to measure fair value fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below contains the estimated fair value and related carrying amounts for the Company’s mortgage loans and bonds payable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Development-related guarantees: For its third-party development projects, the Company commonly provides alternate housing and project cost guarantees, subject to force majeure. These guarantees are typically limited, on an aggregate basis, to the amount of the projects’ related development fees or a contractually agreed-upon maximum exposure amount. Alternate housing guarantees typically expire five days after construction is complete and generally require the Company to provide substitute living quarters and transportation for students to and from the university if the project is not complete by an agreed-upon completion date. Under project cost guarantees, the Company is responsible for the construction cost of a project in excess of an approved budget. The budget consists primarily of costs included in the general contractors’ guaranteed maximum price contract (“GMP”). In most cases, the GMP obligates the general contractor, subject to force majeure and approved change orders, to provide completion date guarantees and to cover cost overruns and liquidated damages. In addition, the GMP is typically secured with payment and performance bonds. Project cost guarantees expire upon completion of certain developer obligations, which are normally satisfied within one year after completion of the project.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various development-related purchase commitments with parties that provide development-related goods and services. In the event that the Company was to terminate development services prior to the completion of projects under construction, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding purchase orders with such parties. At March 31, 2013, management did not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to third-party development projects currently in progress.

The Company has estimated the fair value of guarantees entered into to be immaterial. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure amount under the above guarantees is approximately $8.3 million as of March 31, 2013.

Contingencies

Litigation: The Company is subject to various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings, including the matter discussed below as well as other matters that have not been fully resolved and that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company. However, the outcome of claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings brought against the Company is subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, although management considers the likelihood of such an outcome to be remote, the ultimate results of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company and three of its subsidiaries were parties to a lawsuit brought by National Public Finance Guaranty Corporation, as assignee of the claims of CaPFA Capital Corp. 2000F (“CaPFA”), in May 2010 in the Orange County Florida, Complex Business Division, relating to a student housing property located near the University of Central Florida (“UCF”) in Orlando, Florida. The property was managed by a subsidiary of GMH Communities Trust (“GMH”, which subsidiary was indirectly acquired by the Company as part of the acquisition of GMH in June 2008) pursuant to a property management agreement between such subsidiary and CaPFA. The suit alleged, among other things, a breach of such management agreement, breach of contract implied in fact and breach of fiduciary obligations by the Company and such subsidiaries. The complaint sought unspecified compensatory damages, including lost profits and attorneys' fees. As of March 31, 2013, management believed that settlement of such litigation was probable and therefore accrued $2.8 million in litigation settlement costs based on management’s estimate of the potential loss that would be incurred should such settlement ultimately be executed. The litigation was settled and dismissed subsequent to March 31, 2013 (see Note 15).

Letters of Intent: In the ordinary course of the Company’s business, the Company enters into letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures. Such letters of intent are non-binding, and neither party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the acquisition and disposition of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate that such contracts will provide the acquirer with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the acquirer will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or that the Company will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract. Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed. Once the due diligence period expires, the Company is then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract.

Environmental Matters: The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, assets or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have an adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and cash flows.

14. Segments

The Company defines business segments by their distinct customer base and service provided. The Company has identified four reportable segments: Wholly-Owned Properties, On-Campus Participating Properties, Development Services, and Property Management Services. Management evaluates each segment’s performance based on operating income before depreciation, amortization, minority interests and allocation of corporate overhead. Intercompany fees are reflected at the contractually stipulated amounts.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

15. Subsequent Events

April 2013 Bond Offering: On March 25, 2013, the Operating Partnership priced a $400 million offering of senior unsecured notes under its existing shelf registration. These 10-year notes were issued at 99.659 percent of par value with a coupon of 3.750 percent and a yield of 3.791 percent, and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, with the first payment beginning on October 15, 2013. The notes will mature on April 15, 2023. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes totaled approximately $394.9 million after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses. The transaction settled on April 2, 2013 and the Company used $321.0 million of the offering proceeds to pay down the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility in full.

Litigation Settlement: On April 22, 2013, pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement pertaining to the litigation discussed in Note 13, the Company acquired a note and subrogation rights (collectively, the “instruments”) from National Public Finance Guaranty Corporation for an aggregate of approximately $52.8 million. The instruments are secured by a lien on, and the cash flows from, two student housing properties in close proximity to the University of Central Florida and carry an interest rate of 5.12%. The $2.8 million litigation settlement charge accrued as of March 31, 2013 relates to the difference between face value of the instruments and the present value of the cash flows anticipated to be received under the instruments, based on management’s estimate of market interest rates in place as of the settlement date.

Distributions: On May 1, 2013, the Company declared a first quarter 2013 distribution per share of $0.36 which will be paid on May 30, 2013 to all common stockholders of record as of May 16, 2013. At the same time, the Operating Partnership will pay an equivalent amount per unit to holders of common OP Units, as well as the quarterly cumulative preferential distribution to holders of Series A preferred units (see Note 9).

Same Store and New Property Operations

We define our same store property portfolio as wholly-owned properties that were owned and/or operating for both of the entire periods being compared, and which are not conducting or planning to conduct substantial development or redevelopment activities or are classified as Held for Sale in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Same store revenues are defined as revenues generated from our same store portfolio and consist of rental revenue earned from student leases as well as other income items such as utility income, damages, parking income, summer conference rent, application and administration fees, income from retail tenants, and income earned by one of our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) from ancillary activities such as the provision of food services.

Same store operating expenses are defined as operating expenses generated from our same store portfolio and include usual and customary expenses incurred to operate a property such as payroll, maintenance, utilities, marketing, general and administrative costs, insurance, property taxes, and bad debt. Same store operating expenses also include an allocation of payroll and other administrative costs related to corporate management and oversight.

	Same Store Properties (1)				New Properties (2)				Total - All Properties (1)

(1)	Excludes four properties classified as Held for Sale as of March 31, 2013 that are included in discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

(2)

Does not include properties under construction as of March 31, 2013. Number of properties and number of beds also excludes properties undergoing redevelopment as of March 31, 2013, although the results of operations of those properties are included in revenues and operating expenses prior to commencement of redevelopment activities.

(3)	Includes revenues which are reflected as resident services revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Same Store Properties. The increase in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to an increase in average rental rates for the 2012/2013 academic year, offset by a slight decrease in average occupancy from 97.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 97.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2012/2013 academic year and our ability to obtain appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy for the 2013/2014 academic year at our various properties during our leasing period, which typically begins in January and ends in August.

The increase in operating expenses for our same store properties was primarily due to inflationary increases in payroll and maintenance costs offset by a decrease in property taxes. We anticipate that operating expenses for our same store property portfolio for 2013 will increase slightly as compared with 2012 as a result of general inflation.

New Property Operations. Our new properties for the three months ended March 31, 2013 consist of the following: (i) University Heights- Knoxville, acquired from Fund II in January 2012, (ii) Avalon Heights, acquired in May 2012, (iii) University Commons, acquired in June 2012, (iv) The Block, acquired in August 2012, (v) The Retreat, acquired in September 2012, (vi) 11 owned development projects that opened for occupancy in August and September 2012 (vii) a 15-property student housing portfolio acquired in September 2012, (viii) a 19-property student housing portfolio acquired in November 2012, and (ix) University Edge, a property previously subject to a pre-sale agreement that we acquired in December 2012.

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations

We had four participating properties containing 4,519 beds which were operating during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Revenues from our participating properties increased $0.1 million to $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This change was primarily a result of an increase in average rental rates for 2012/2013 academic year, offset by a decrease in average occupancy from 97.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 95.9% for the three months March 31, 2013.

At these properties, operating expenses remained constant at $2.5 million for both three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2013. We anticipate that operating expenses in 2013 will increase slightly as compared with 2012 as a result of general inflation.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue decreased by approximately $1.6 million, from $2.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction for the College of Staten Island project during the three months ended March 31, 2012, resulting in $1.3 million of revenue recognized during that period. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had three projects in progress with an average contractual fee of approximately $2.7 million, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 in which we had five projects in progress with an average contractual fee of approximately $2.3 million. We anticipate that third-party development services revenue in 2013 will decrease significantly as compared to 2012 as a result of fewer currently outstanding awarded projects in this business segment.

Development services revenues are dependent on our ability to successfully be awarded such projects, the amount of the contractual fee related to the project and the timing and completion of the development and construction of the project. In addition, to the extent projects are completed under budget, we may be entitled to a portion of such savings, which are recognized as revenue when performance has been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been verified by an independent third-party. It is possible that projects for which we have deferred pre-development costs will not close and that we will not be reimbursed for such costs. The pre-development costs associated therewith will ordinarily be charged against income for the then-current period.

Third-Party Development and Management Services Expenses

Third party development and management services expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million, from $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This decrease was primarily a result of the growth in our wholly-owned property portfolio, as well as a lower number of newly awarded contracts in this business segment during 2012 as compared to the prior year. We anticipate that third-party development and management services expenses will continue to decrease in 2013 for these same reasons.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million, from $3.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily a result of additional salary and benefits expense, public company costs and other general inflationary factors during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We anticipate that general and administrative expenses will decrease in 2013 as compared to 2012, primarily due to acquisition costs incurred in 2012 that are not expected to be incurred in 2013.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $22.7 million, from $23.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $46.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily a result of additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $18.7 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to properties acquired during 2012 and the completion of construction and opening of 11 owned development properties in August and September 2012, which contributed an additional $4.3 million of depreciation expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase significantly in 2013 as a result of properties acquired during 2012, the completion of 11 owned development projects in August and September 2012 and the anticipated completion of eight owned development projects and an additional phase at an existing property in August and September 2013.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense increased by approximately $0.2 million, from $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily due to the completion of construction and commencement of operations of six ACE development projects during 2012. We anticipate ground/facility leases expense to increase in 2013 as compared to 2012 due to the planned completion of construction on three ACE development projects in August and September 2013 and the timing of ACE development projects placed into service during 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by approximately $4.8 million, from $12.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $17.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We incurred additional interest expense of approximately $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to loans assumed in connection with 2012 property acquisitions. We also experienced an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.4 million on our corporate-level debt related to increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Lastly, we incurred additional interest expense of approximately $0.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 from construction loans used to partially finance the construction of two owned development projects which opened for occupancy in August 2012. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year as a result of mortgage and construction loans paid off during 2012. We anticipate that interest expense will increase in 2013 as compared to 2012 as a result of our $400 million bond offering which closed in April 2013, as well as a full year of interest expense incurred on the loans assumed in connection with the 2012 property acquisitions. These anticipated increases will be offset by a decrease in interest expense related to the payoff of mortgage debt in 2012 and loans that are scheduled to mature in 2013.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased approximately $0.3 million, from $1.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase was primarily a result of finance costs paid upon the assumption of debt in connection with 2012 property acquisitions. We anticipate that amortization of deferred financing costs will increase in 2013 as compared to 2012 for the reason discussed above as well as bond offering costs paid in connection with our $400 million bond offering which closed in April 2013 (refer to Note 15 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 herein for further information).

Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We reported income from unconsolidated joint ventures of approximately $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 in connection with our share of a gain on debt restructuring recorded by Fund II during 2012. Immediately prior to our acquisition of University Heights - Knoxville from Fund II in January 2012, Fund II negotiated a Settlement Agreement with the lender of the property’s mortgage loan whereby the lender agreed to accept a discounted amount that was less than the original principal amount of the loan as payment in full. Accordingly, Fund II recorded a gain on debt restructuring of $4.2 million, of which our 10% share was $0.4 million.

Other Nonoperating Expense

Other nonoperating expense increased approximately $2.7 million, from $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase is due to the accrual of $2.8 million of litigation settlement costs during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to the litigation that was settled and dismissed in April 2013. Refer to Notes 13 and 15 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 herein for a more detailed discussion of the lawsuit and subsequent settlement.

Other nonoperating expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 represents a loss recorded to remeasure our equity method investment in one of our joint ventures with Fidelity (“Fund II”), in which we held a 10% interest, to fair value immediately prior to our acquisition in January 2012 of the remaining 90% interest in University Heights, the final property owned by Fund II.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income includes the following wholly-owned properties: (i) State College Park, University Mills, University Pines and The Village at Blacksburg, wholly-owned properties that were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2013, (ii) Brookstone Village and Campus Walk, wholly-owned properties sold in December 2012 for a combined sales price of $26.6 million, and (iii) Pirates Cove, sold in April 2012 for a sales price of $27.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balances and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2013, excluding our on-campus participating properties, we had $40.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as compared to $46.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2012. Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow accounts held by lenders and resident security deposits, as required by law in certain states, and funds held in escrow in connection with potential acquisition and development opportunities. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1.

Operating Activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $57.2 million, as compared to approximately $49.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $7.6 million. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to operating cash flows provided from the timing of the acquisition of 40 properties in 2012, the completion of construction and opening of 11 owned development projects in August and September 2012, and improved operations at our same store wholly-owned properties.

Investing Activities: Investing activities utilized approximately $101.5 million and $123.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The $21.6 million decrease in cash utilized in investing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $21.7 million decrease in cash paid to acquire properties and undeveloped land as we acquired one wholly-owned property (University Heights – Knoxville) and one land parcel located in Lubbock, Texas during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to minimal activity for the three months ended March 31, 2013; (ii) a $6.0 million decrease in cash used to fund the construction of our wholly-owned development properties, as 14 wholly-owned properties were under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to nine wholly-owned properties and an additional phase at an existing wholly-owned property that were under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2013; and (iii) a $7.2 million loan made to a third-party developer during the three months ended March 31, 2012, to fund the acquisition of an undeveloped land parcel for future development. These decreases were offset by (i) a $9.4 million increase in cash used to fund capital expenditures at our wholly-owned properties, as we began or continued renovations at several properties acquired in 2012; and (ii) the repayment of a $4.0 million mezzanine loan by a private developer during the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $38.0 million and $83.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The $45.8 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $150 million increase to our unsecured term loan from $200 million to $350 million in January 2012, (ii) a $73.8 million decrease in net proceeds raised through the issuance of common stock, (iii) a $10.2 million increase in distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as a result of the issuance of common stock in connection with our July 2012 and October 2012 equity offerings and ATM Equity Programs, and (iv) a $16.7 million decrease in proceeds from construction loans related to fewer projects being under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. These decreases were primarily offset by (i) a $186.0 million increase in proceeds (net of paydowns) received from our unsecured revolving credit facility, as we used proceeds received in January 2012 from our expanded term loan to repay outstanding amounts on our unsecured revolving credit facility, (ii) a $16.2 million decrease in cash used to pay off maturing mortgage debt, and (iii) a $2.2 million decrease in debt issuance costs paid during comparable three month periods.

Liquidity Needs, Sources and Uses of Capital

As of March 31, 2013, our short-term liquidity needs included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) anticipated distribution payments to our common and restricted stockholders totaling approximately $151.8 million based on an assumed annual cash distribution of $1.44 per share based on the number of our shares outstanding as of March 31, 2013, (ii) anticipated distribution payments to our Operating Partnership unitholders totaling approximately $1.8 million based on an assumed annual distribution of $1.44 per common unit and a cumulative preferential per annum cash distribution rate of 5.99% on our Series A preferred units based on the number of units outstanding as of March 31, 2013, (iii) the pay-off of approximately $150.5 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature during the next 12 months, (iv) estimated development costs over the next 12 months totaling approximately $187.1 million for our wholly-owned properties currently under construction, (v) the purchase of a note and subrogation rights (collectively, the “instruments”) totaling approximately $52.8 million in April 2013 (see Note 15 for a more detailed discussion), (vi) funds for other development projects scheduled to commence construction during the next 12 months, and (vii) potential future property acquisitions.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements by (i) borrowing under our existing credit facilities discussed below, (ii) issuing securities, including common stock, under our $500 million at-the-market share offering program (“ATM Equity Program”) discussed below, (iii) utilizing proceeds from our $400 million debut bond offering which settled on April 2, 2013 (see Note 15), (iv) potentially disposing of properties depending on market conditions, and (v) utilizing net cash provided by operations.

We may seek additional funds to undertake initiatives not contemplated by our business plan or obtain additional cushion against possible shortfalls. We also may pursue additional financing as opportunities arise. Future financings may include a range of different sizes or types of financing, including the incurrence of additional secured debt and the sale of additional debt or equity securities. These funds may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain additional financing depends on several factors, including future market conditions, our success or lack of success in penetrating our markets, our future creditworthiness, and restrictions contained in agreements with our investors or lenders, including the restrictions contained in the agreements governing our revolving credit facilities and term loan. These financings could increase our level of indebtedness or result in dilution to our equity holders.

ATM Equity Program

As discussed in more detail in Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we established a new ATM Equity Program under which we may sell shares of our common stock into the existing trading market at current market prices with an aggregate offering price of up to $500 million. We did not sell any shares under the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

Unsecured Credit Facility

As discussed in more detail in Note 7 and Note 11 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, we have an aggregate Credit Facility of $800 million, which is composed of a $350 million unsecured term loan and a $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We have entered into multiple interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $350 million that effectively fix the interest rate to 2.54% (0.89% + 1.65% spread) on the outstanding balance of our unsecured term loan

As of March 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on our revolving credit facility totaled $321.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 1.96%, and availability under the revolving credit facility totaled $129.0 million. The terms of the combined Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants, as discussed more fully in Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, including covenants that restrict the amount of distributions that we can pay. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Secured Agency Facility

As discussed in more detail in Note 7 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, we also have a $125 million secured revolving credit facility with a Freddie Mac lender. As of March 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the facility totaled $104.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.25%. The secured agency facility includes some, but not all, of the same financial covenants as the Credit Facility, as described above. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Distributions

We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Distributions to common stockholders are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. We may use borrowings under our secured revolving credit facility to fund distributions. The Board of Directors considers a number of factors when determining distribution levels, including market factors and our Company’s performance in addition to REIT requirements.

On May 1, 2013, we declared a first quarter 2013 distribution per share of $0.36, which will be paid on May 30, 2013 to all common stockholders of record as of May 16, 2013. At the same time, the Operating Partnership will pay an equivalent amount per unit to holders of common units, as well as the quarterly cumulative preferential distribution to holders of Series A preferred units.

Pre-Development Expenditures

Our third-party and owned development activities have historically required us to fund pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits. The closing and/or commencement of construction of these development projects is subject to a number of risks such as our inability to obtain financing on favorable terms and delays or refusals in obtaining necessary zoning, land use, building, and other required governmental permits and authorizations As such, we cannot always predict accurately the liquidity needs of these activities. We frequently incur these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained. Accordingly, we bear the risk of the loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or we are unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations. Historically, our third-party and owned development projects have been successfully structured and financed; however, these developments have at times been delayed beyond the period initially scheduled, causing revenue to be recognized in later periods. As of March 31, 2013, we have deferred approximately $3.3 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.

Indebtedness

As March 31, 2013, we had approximately $2,208.4 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness (excluding net unamortized debt premiums and debt discounts of approximately $86.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively), comprised of a $350.0 million balance on our unsecured term loan, $321.0 million balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility, $104.0 million balance on our secured agency facility, $1,356.9 million in mortgage and construction loans secured by our wholly-owned properties, $31.6 million in mortgage loans secured by two phases of an on-campus participating property and $44.9 million in bond issuances secured by three of our on-campus participating properties. The weighted average interest rate on our consolidated indebtedness as of March 31, 2013 was 4.32% per annum. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 22.5% of our total consolidated indebtedness was variable rate debt, comprised of our secured agency facility, unsecured revolving credit facility and three construction loans discussed below.

Wholly-Owned Properties

Mortgage debt: The weighted average interest rate of the $1,285.0 million of wholly-owned mortgage debt was 5.49% per annum as of March 31, 2013. Each of the mortgage loans is a non-recourse obligation subject to customary exceptions. The loans generally may not be prepaid prior to maturity; in certain cases prepayment is allowed, subject to prepayment penalties.

Construction loans: The development and construction of two on-campus ACE properties (The Suites and Hilltop Townhomes), which both completed construction in August 2012, are partially financed on a combined basis with a $45.4 million construction loan. For each borrowing we have the option of choosing the Prime rate or one-, two-, three-, or six-month LIBOR plus 2.35%. The loan requires payments of interest only during the term of the loan and any accrued interest and outstanding borrowings become due on the maturity date of May 16, 2014. The term of the loan can be extended through May 2016 through the exercise of two 12-month extension options. As of March 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the construction loan totaled $44.6 million, bearing interest at a weighted average rate per annum of 2.55%.

In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, we are consolidating two variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that own Townhomes at Newtown Crossing, a property located in Lexington, Kentucky and The Lodges of East Lansing Phase II, an additional phase at an existing property located in East Lansing, Michigan. As a result, our construction loans payable balance includes $27.3 million related to the construction loans that are financing the development and construction of this property and additional phase at an existing property. The total amount of these construction loans are $31.5 million and $16.2 million for Townhomes at Newtown Crossing and The Lodges of East Lansing Phase II, respectively, bearing interest at 2.65% and 4.26% per annum, respectively, as of March 31, 2013. The loans mature on August 1, 2014 and January 9, 2014, respectively. As the Company is not legally a party to these loans, and is only including the loans in its consolidated financial statements to comply with accounting guidance related to VIE’s, the creditors of these construction loans do not have recourse to the assets of the Company.

On-Campus Participating Properties

Bonds: As discussed in Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1, three of our on-campus participating properties are 100% financed with project-based taxable bonds. As of March 31, 2013, the bonds carry a balance of $44.9 million and bear interest at a weighted average rate per annum of 7.55%. The loans encumbering the leasehold interests are non-recourse, subject to customary exceptions.

Mortgage loans: The Cullen Oaks Phase I and Phase II on-campus participating properties are currently encumbered by mortgage loans with balances as of March 31, 2013 of approximately $15.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively. The loans mature in February 2014 and bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35%. In connection with these loans, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective February 15, 2007 through February 15, 2014, that is designated to hedge our exposure to fluctuations on interest payments attributed to changes in interest rates associated with payments on the loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed rate of 6.69% per annum and receive a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.35%. We have guaranteed payment of this property’s indebtedness.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income or loss attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. We therefore believe that FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, and interest costs, among other items, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We also believe it is meaningful to present a measure we refer to as FFO-Modified, or FFOM, which reflects certain adjustments related to the economic performance of our on-campus participating properties and other nonrecurring items. Under our participating ground leases, we and the participating university systems each receive 50% of the properties’ net cash available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service (which includes significant amounts towards repayment of principal) and capital expenditures. A substantial portion of our revenues attributable to these properties is reflective of cash that is required to be used for capital expenditures and for the amortization of applicable property indebtedness. These amounts do not increase our economic interest in these properties or otherwise benefit us since our interest in the properties terminates upon the repayment of the applicable property indebtedness. Therefore, unlike the ownership of our wholly-owned properties, the unique features of our ownership interest in our on-campus participating properties cause the value of these properties to diminish over time. For example, since the ground/facility leases under which we operate the participating properties require the reinvestment from operations of specified amounts for capital expenditures and for the repayment of debt while our interest in these properties terminates upon the repayment of the debt, such capital expenditures do not increase the value of the property to us and mortgage debt amortization only increases the equity of the ground lessor. Accordingly, we believe it is meaningful to modify FFO to exclude the operations of our on-campus participating properties and to consider their impact on our performance by including only that portion of our revenues from those properties that are reflective of our share of net cash flow and the management fees that we receive, both of which increase and decrease with the operating performance of the properties. This narrower measure of performance measures our profitability for these properties in a manner that is similar to the measure of our profitability from our services business where we similarly incur no initial or ongoing capital investment in a property and derive only consequential benefits from capital expenditures and debt amortization. We believe, however, that this narrower measure of performance is inappropriate in traditional real estate ownership structures where debt amortization and capital expenditures enhance the property owner’s long-term profitability from its investment. When calculating FFOM, we also exclude losses from early extinguishment of debt incurred in connection with property dispositions and other non-cash gains or losses, as appropriate.

Our FFOM may have limitations as an analytical tool because it reflects the contractual calculation of net cash flow from our on-campus participating properties, which is unique to us and is different from that of our owned off-campus properties. Companies that are considered to be in our industry may not have similar ownership structures; and therefore those companies may not calculate FFOM in the same manner that we do, or at all, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP and FFO results and using FFOM only supplementally. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as alternatives to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our liquidity, nor are these measures indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO and FFOM:

(1)	Excludes $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 of income attributable to the noncontrolling partner in The Varsity, a property purchased in December 2011 from a seller that retained a 20.5% noncontrolling interest in the property.

(2)

Represents our 10% share of FFO from a joint venture with Fund II in which we were a noncontrolling partner. In January 2012, we purchased the full ownership interest in the one remaining property owned by Fund II (University Heights). Subsequent to the acquisition, the property is now wholly-owned and is consolidated by the Company.

(3)	50% of the properties’ net cash available for distribution after payment of operating expenses, debt service (including repayment of principal) and capital expenditures. Represents amounts accrued for the interim periods.

(4)

On April 22, 2013, the Company acquired a note and subrogation rights from National Public Finance Guarantee Corporation (formerly known as MBIA Insurance Corp. of Illinois) for an aggregate of $52.8 million, which are secured by a lien on, and the cash flows from, two student housing properties in close proximity to the University of Central Florida and currently under a ground lease with the UCF Foundation. The instruments carry an interest rate of 5.123 percent. The acquisition facilitated the settlement of litigation related to a third-party management agreement for the properties with a GMH entity that was acquired by the company’s 2008 merger with GMH. The acquisition resulted in a non-cash settlement charge of $2.8 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013 to reflect the fair market valuation of the instruments. Management believes it is appropriate to exclude this non-cash charge from FFOM in order to more accurately present the operating results of the company on a comparative basis during the periods presented.

(5)

Immediately prior to our purchase of University Heights from Fund II (see footnote 2 above), Fund II negotiated a Settlement Agreement with the lender of the property’s mortgage loan whereby the lender agreed to accept a discounted amount that was less than the original principal amount of the loan as payment in full. Accordingly, Fund II recorded a gain on debt restructuring to reflect the discounted payoff. Our 10% share of such gain is reflected above as an adjustment to FFOM.

(6)	Represents a non-cash loss recorded to remeasure our equity method investment in Fund II to fair value as a result of our purchase of the full ownership interest in University Heights from Fund II in January 2012.

Inflation

Our student leases do not typically provide for rent escalations. However, they typically do not have terms that extend beyond 12 months. Accordingly, although on a short term basis we would be required to bear the impact of rising costs resulting from inflation, we have the opportunity to raise rental rates at least annually to offset such rising costs. However, a weak economic environment or declining student enrollment at our principal universities may limit our ability to raise rental rates.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our revolving credit facilities and variable rate construction loans and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. No material changes have occurred in relation to market risk since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
