Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

3. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

At June 30, 2013, the Company held investments in two individual limited liability companies (the “Apartment LLCs”) with institutional investors that own four apartment communities, including three communities located in Atlanta, Georgia and one community located in Washington, D.C. The Company has a 25% and 35% equity interest in these Apartment LLCs.

The Company accounts for its investments in the Apartment LLCs using the equity method of accounting. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company’s investment in the 35% owned Apartment LLC totaled $4,458 and $4,533, respectively, excluding the credit investments discussed below. The excess of the Company’s investment over its equity in the underlying net assets of these Apartment LLCs was approximately $2,784 at June 30, 2013. The excess investment related to these Apartment LLCs is being amortized as a reduction to earnings on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related assets. The Company’s investment in the 25% owned Apartment LLC at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 reflects a credit investment of $16,518 and $16,297, respectively. These credit balances resulted from distribution of financing proceeds in excess of the Company’s historical cost upon the formation of the Apartment LLC and are reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The operating results of the Company include its allocable share of net income from the investments in the Apartment LLCs. The Company provides property and asset management services to the Apartment LLCs for which it earns fees.

A summary of financial information for the Apartment LLCs in the aggregate is as follows:

In February 2012, a 35% owned Apartment LLC sold an apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia. The net cash proceeds from the sale of approximately $50,500 were used to retire the Apartment LLC’s outstanding mortgage note payable of $29,272 and to make distributions to its members. The results of operations and the gain on sale of the apartment community from this Apartment LLC are included in discontinued operations in 2012. The Company’s equity in income of unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 includes a net gain of $6,055 resulting from this transaction.

At June 30, 2013, mortgage notes payable included four mortgage notes. The first $51,000 mortgage note bears interest at 3.50%, requires monthly interest only payments and matures in 2019. The second and third mortgage notes total $85,724, bear interest at 5.63%, require interest only payments and mature in 2017. The fourth mortgage note totals $41,000, bears interest at 5.71%, requires interest only payments, and matures in January 2018 with a one-year automatic extension at a variable interest rate.
