EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 of UDR, Inc. a Maryland corporation, and United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, of which UDR is the parent company and sole general partner. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company”, “UDR” or "UDR, Inc." refer collectively to UDR, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries and joint ventures, including the Operating Partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, the references in this Report to the “Operating Partnership” refer to United Dominion Realty, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. “Common stock” refers to the common stock of UDR and “stockholders” means the holders of shares of UDR’s common stock and preferred stock. The limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership are referred to as “OP Units” and the holders of the OP Units are referred to as “unitholders”. This combined Form 10-Q is being filed separately by UDR and the Operating Partnership.
There are a number of differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in our disclosure in this report. UDR is a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), whose most significant asset is its ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. UDR also conducts business through other subsidiaries, including its subsidiary RE3, whose activities include development of land. UDR acts as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, holds interests in subsidiaries and joint ventures, owns and operates properties, issues securities from time to time and guarantees debt of certain of our subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of a substantial portion of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity securities. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed certain outstanding securities of UDR.
As of March 31, 2012, UDR owned 110,883 units of the general partnership interests of the Operating Partnership and 174,749,068 units (or approximately 94.9%) of the limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”). UDR conducts a substantial amount of its business and holds a substantial amount of its assets through the Operating Partnership, and, by virtue of its ownership of the OP Units and being the Operating Partnership’s sole general partner, UDR has the ability to control all of the day-to-day operations of the Operating Partnership. Separate financial statements and accompanying notes, as well as separate discussions under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are provided for each of UDR and the Operating Partnership.

UDR, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012


1. CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
UDR, Inc., collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (“UDR”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment communities. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDR and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, 2012, there were 184,281,253 units in the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 174,859,951 units or 94.9% were owned by UDR and 9,421,302 units or 5.1% were owned by limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of UDR include the non-controlling interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of March 31, 2012, and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been included. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2011 appearing in UDR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2012.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. Except as disclosed in Note 15, Subsequent Event, no other recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Accounting Policies
Revenue and real estate sales gain recognition
Rental income related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents in accordance with FASB ASC 840, Leases and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition”. Rental payments are generally due on a monthly basis and recognized when earned. The Company recognizes interest income, management and other fees and incentives when earned, and the amounts are fixed and determinable.
The Company accounts for sales of real estate in accordance with FASB ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales. For sale transactions meeting the requirements for full accrual profit recognition, such as the Company no longer having continuing involvement in the property, we remove the related assets and liabilities from our Consolidated Balance Sheets and record the gain or loss in the period the transaction closes. For sale transactions that do not meet the full accrual sale criteria due to our continuing involvement, we evaluate the nature of the continuing involvement and account for the transaction under an alternate method of accounting. Unless certain limited criteria are met, non-monetary transactions, including property exchanges, are accounted for at fair value.
Sales to entities in which we retain or otherwise own an interest are accounted for as partial sales. If all other requirements for recognizing profit under the full accrual method have been satisfied and no other forms of continuing

involvement are present, we recognize profit proportionate to the outside interest in the buyer and defer the gain on the interest we retain. The Company recognizes any deferred gain when the property is sold to a third party. In transactions accounted by us as partial sales, we determine if the buyer of the majority equity interest in the venture was provided a preference as to cash flows in either an operating or a capital waterfall. If a cash flow preference has been provided, we recognize profit only to the extent that proceeds from the sale of the majority equity interest exceed costs related to the entire property.
Marketable Securities
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company sold marketable securities for $3.5 million, resulting in a gross realized gain of $3.1 million, which is included in “Other Income” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of the $3.5 million of proceeds received from the sale of these securities, the Company recorded a trade date receivable of $3.0 million at March 31, 2011. The cost of securities sold was based on the specific identification method. Unrealized gains of $3.5 million were reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The marketable securities, which represented common stock in a publicly held company, were classified as “available-for-sale,” and were carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss).
Income Taxes
Due to the structure of the Company as a REIT and the nature of the operations for the operating properties, no provision for federal income taxes has been provided for at UDR. Historically, the Company has generally incurred only state and local excise and franchise taxes. UDR has elected for certain consolidated subsidiaries to be treated as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”), primarily those engaged in development activities.
Income taxes for our TRS are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period of the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets are generally the result of differing depreciable lives on capitalized assets and timing of expense recognition for certain accrued liabilities. As of March 31, 2012, UDR recorded a net current liability of $2.9 million and a deferred tax asset of $25.3 million (net of a valuation allowance of $1.2 million).

Prior to 2012, the TRS had a history of losses and, as a result, has historically recognized a valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets.  Each quarter, the Company evaluates the need to retain all or a portion of the valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets, including any remaining net operating loss carry forward, will be realized. In making this determination, the Company analyzed, among other things, its recent history of earnings from the sale of depreciable property, forecasts of future earnings and its cumulative earnings for the last twelve quarters. The reversal of the valuation allowance resulted in an income tax benefit of $22.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, which is reflected in continuing operations, and classified as "Tax benefit of taxable REIT subsidiary" in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. 
FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”) defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Topic 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company recognizes its tax positions and evaluates them using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent probability) to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
UDR had no unrecognized tax benefit, accrued interest or penalties at March 31, 2012. UDR and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state jurisdictions. The tax years 2009 - 2011 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which we are subject. When applicable, UDR recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.

The Company did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
All development projects and related carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Real estate under development.” The costs of development projects which include interest, real estate taxes, insurance and allocated development overhead related to support costs for personnel working directly on the development site are capitalized during the construction period. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, total interest capitalized was $4.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations represent properties that UDR has either sold or which management believes meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. In order to be classified as held for sale and reported as discontinued operations, a property’s operations and cash flows have been or will be divested to a third party by the Company whereby UDR will not have any continuing involvement in the ownership or operation of the property after the sale or disposition. The results of operations of the property are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and do not impact the net earnings reported by the Company. Once a property is deemed as held for sale, depreciation is no longer recorded. However, if the Company determines that the property no longer meets the criteria of held for sale, the Company will recapture any unrecorded depreciation for the property. The assets and liabilities of properties classified as held for sale are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the costs to sell the assets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company sold six communities with 1,576 apartment homes. The Company did not dispose of any communities during the three months ended March 31, 2011. The Company had 14 communities with 4,918 apartment homes that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and included in discontinued operations at March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, UDR recognized gains on the sale of communities for financial reporting purposes of $80.5 million and $41,000, respectively, which are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations for the following properties are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item entitled “Income from discontinued operations.” Discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 also includes operating activities related to 18 communities (4,488 homes) sold during the last three quarters in 2011.

5. JOINT VENTURES
UDR has entered into joint ventures with unrelated third parties to acquire real estate assets that are either consolidated and included in real estate owned on our Consolidated Balance Sheets or are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in investment in unconsolidated joint ventures on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company consolidates an entity in which we own less than 100% but control the joint venture as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. In addition, the Company would consolidate any joint venture in which we are the general partner or managing member and the third party does not have the ability to substantively participate in the decision-making process nor do they have the ability to remove us as general partner or managing member without cause.
UDR’s joint ventures are funded with a combination of debt and equity. Our losses are limited to our investment and except as noted below, the Company does not guarantee any debt, capital payout or other obligations associated with our joint venture portfolio.
Consolidated Joint Ventures
In 2011, the Company invested in a joint venture with an unaffiliated third party to acquire and redevelop an existing commercial property into a 173 apartment home community in Orange County, California. At closing the Company contributed $9.0 million and at March 31, 2012, UDR owned a 90% controlling interest in the investment. Under the terms of the operating agreement, our partner is required to achieve certain criteria as it relates to the entitlement process. If the criteria is met on or before 730 days after the site plan application is deemed complete by the city, the Company is obligated to contribute an additional $3.0 million to the joint venture for distribution to our partner. At the acquisition date, the Company accrued and capitalized $3.0 million related to the contingent consideration, which represents the difference between fair value of the property of $9.8 million on the formation date and the estimated fair value of the underlying property upon completion of the entitlement process of $12.8 million. The Company estimated the fair value based on Level 3 inputs utilized in a third party valuation.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
The Company recognizes earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures consisting of our proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of the joint ventures. In addition, we may earn fees for providing management services to the unconsolidated joint ventures. As of March 31, 2012, UDR had investments in the following unconsolidated joint ventures which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In 2010, the Company acquired The Hanover Company’s (“Hanover”) partnership interests in the Hanover/MetLife Master Limited Partnership (“UDR/MetLife I”) at a cost of $100.8 million. UDR/MetLife I currently owns a portfolio of 19 operating communities containing 3,930 apartment homes and 10 land parcels with the potential to develop approximately

MARCH 31, 2012


2,000 additional apartment homes. Under the terms of UDR/MetLife I, UDR acts as the general partner with significant participating rights held by our partner, and earns fees for property and asset management and financing transactions.
UDR has a weighted average ownership interest of 12.6% in the operating communities and 4.0% in the land parcels. Our initial investment of $100.8 million consisted of $71.8 million in cash, which included associated transaction costs, and a $30 million payable (includes present value discount of $1 million) to Hanover. UDR agreed to pay the $30 million balance to Hanover in two interest free installments in the amounts of $20 million (paid in 2011) and $10 million on the first and second anniversaries of the closing, respectively. The $30 million payable was recorded at its present value of $29 million using an effective interest rate of 2.67%. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the net carrying value of the payable was $9.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. Interest expense of $66,000 and $195,000 was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company’s investment was $99.9 million and $133.8 million, respectively.
UDR’s inital cost of its equity investment of $100.8 million differed from the proportionate share in the underlying net assets of UDR/MetLife I of $111.4 million. The difference of $10.6 million was attributable to certain assets and adjustments that were allocated to UDR’s proportionate share in UDR/MetLife I’s buildings of $8.4 million, land of $3.9 million, and $(1.6) million of lease intangible assets. With the exception of land, the difference related to buildings is accreted and recorded as a component of loss from unconsolidated entities over 45 years and the difference related to lease intangible assets was amortized and recorded as a component of loss from unconsolidated entities over 11 months with the offset to the Company’s carrying value of its equity investment. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $46,000 of net accretion and $396,000 of net amortization, respectively.
In connection with the purchase of Hanover’s interests in UDR/MetLife I, UDR agreed to indemnify Hanover from liabilities arising from Hanover’s guaranty of $506 million in loans ($51.0 million outstanding at March 31, 2012) which are secured by a security interest in the operating communities subject to the respective loans. The loans are to the sub-tier partnerships which own the 19 operating communities. The Company anticipates that the remaining $51.0 million will be refinanced by UDR/MetLife I over the next twelve months.

On January 12, 2012, the Company formed a new real estate joint venture, UDR/MetLife II, with MetLife wherein each party owns a 50% interest in a $1.3 billion portfolio of 12 operating communities containing 2,528 apartment homes. The 12 communities in the joint venture include seven from UDR/MetLife I while the remaining five operating communities were newly acquired by UDR/MetLife II. The newly acquired communities, collectively known as Columbus Square, are recently developed, high-rise apartment buildings located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and were purchased for $637.5 million. The Company serves as the general partner with significant participating rights held by our partner. The Company earns property management, asset management and financing fees. Our initial investment was $327.1 million, which consisted of $293.5 million of cash paid and $33.6 million of our equity in the seven communities transferred from UDR/MetLife I. (Of the $293.5 million of cash paid for its investment, the Company paid $80.4 million of purchase deposits for the acquisition of Columbus Square in 2011.) Our investment at March 31, 2012 was $326.4 million.
On January 9, 2012, the Company formed a joint venture to acquire land for future development in San Francisco, California. At March 31, 2012, UDR owned a noncontrolling interest of 92.5% in the joint venture. Our initial investment was $37.3 million, and our investment at March 31, 2012 was $37.6 million.
The Company is a partner in a joint venture to develop a 240-home community in Stoughton, Massachusetts. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, UDR owned a noncontrolling interest of 95% in the joint venture. Our initial investment was $10.0 million. Our investment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $17.1 million and $17.2 million, respectively.
The Company is a partner in a joint venture to develop a 263-home community in San Diego, California. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, UDR owned a noncontrolling interest of 95% in the joint venture. Our initial investment was $9.9 million. Our investment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $17.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively.
The Company is a partner in a joint venture to develop a 256-home community in College Park, Maryland. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, UDR owned a noncontrolling interest of 95% in the joint venture. Our initial investment was $7.1 million. Our investment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $11.0 million and $8.6 million , respectively.
UDR is a partner with an unaffiliated third party, which formed a joint venture for the investment of up to $450 million in

multifamily properties located in key, high barrier to entry markets. The partners will contribute equity of $180 million of which the Company’s maximum equity will be 30% or $54 million when fully invested. The joint venture owns and operates three communities (660 homes) in Metropolitan Washington D.C. At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company owned a 30% interest in the joint venture. Our investment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $33.1 million and $34.1 million, respectively.
UDR is a partner with an unaffiliated third party which owns and operates 10 operating properties located in Texas (3,992 homes). (See Note 15, Subsequent Events.) UDR contributed cash and a property equal to 20% of the fair value of the properties. The unaffiliated member contributed cash equal to 80% of the fair value of the properties comprising the joint venture, which was then used to purchase the nine operating properties from UDR. Our initial investment was $20.4 million. Our investment at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $6.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively.
We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures when events or changes in circumstances indicate that there may be an other-than-temporary decline in value. We consider various factors to determine if a decrease in the value of the investment is other-than-temporary. The Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary decrease in the value of its other investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company will from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, management will record the secured debt at its estimated fair value and amortize any difference between the fair value and par to interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument. The unamortized fair market adjustment was a net premium of $18.2 million and $24.1 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
Fixed Rate Debt
Mortgage notes payable. Fixed rate mortgage notes payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and interest and mature at various dates from October 2012 through May 2019 and carry interest rates ranging from 3.25% to 6.54%. Mortgage notes payable includes debt associated with development activities.
Secured credit facilities. At March 31, 2012, the Company had $743.8 million outstanding of fixed rate secured credit facilities with Fannie Mae with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.14%.

8. EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic and diluted income/(loss) per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods as the effect of adding stock options and other common stock equivalents such as the non-vested restricted stock awards is anti-dilutive.

The effect of the conversion of the OP Units, convertible preferred stock, convertible debt, stock options and restricted stock is not dilutive and is therefore not included in the above calculations as the Company reported a loss from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders.
If the OP Units were converted to common stock, the additional weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 would be 9,421,302 and 5,061,968, respectively.
If the convertible preferred stock were converted to common stock, the additional shares of common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 would be 3,035,548 weighted average common shares.
If the stock options and unvested restricted stock were converted to common stock, the additional weighted average common shares outstanding using the treasury stock method would be a 1,958,716 and 1,882,083 weighted average common shares for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
9. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Redeemable noncontrolling interests in operating partnership
Interests in the Operating Partnership held by limited partners are represented by operating partnership units (“OP Units”). The income is allocated to holders of OP Units based upon net income attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to non-controlling interests in accordance with the terms of the individual partnership agreements.
Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount as defined in the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. UDR, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Share Amount (generally one share of common stock of the Company for each OP Unit), as defined in the Operating Partnership Agreement. Accordingly, the Company records the OP Units outside of permanent equity and reports the OP Units at their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date.

Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests represent interests of unrelated partners in certain consolidated affiliates, and is presented as part of equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets since these interests are not redeemable. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net income attributable to non-controlling interests was $52,000 and $51,000, respectively.
10. FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level valuation hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
