1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Home Properties, Inc. (the Company) was formed in November 1993 as a Maryland corporation. Home Properties, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns, operates, acquires and repositions apartment communities in suburbs of major metropolitan areas, primarily along the East Coast of the United States. The Company completed an initial public offering of 5,408,000 shares of common stock on August 4, 1994 and is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol HME. The Company is included in S&Ps MidCap 400 Index.
The Company conducts its business through Home Properties, L.P. (the Operating Partnership), a New York limited partnership. As of June 30, 2015, the Company owned and operated 121 apartment communities with 41,957 apartments.
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code), commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal or state income taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and satisfies certain other requirements. For all periods presented, the Company distributed in excess of 100% of its taxable income; accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its ownership of 85.4% of the limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership (UPREIT Units or UPREIT Unit) at June 30, 2015 (85.2% at December 31, 2014). The remaining 14.6% is included as noncontrolling interest in these consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2015 (14.8% at December 31, 2014). The Company periodically adjusts the carrying value of noncontrolling interest to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Partnership. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid in capital as a reallocation of noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated statements of equity. The Company owns a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and the remainder indirectly as a limited partner through its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Properties I, LLC, which owns 100% of Home Properties Trust, which is the limited partner. Home Properties Trust was formed in September 1997, as a Maryland real estate trust and as a qualified REIT subsidiary (QRS), and owns the Companys share of the limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Properties Resident Services, Inc. (HPRS). HPRS is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, certain disclosures that would accompany annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The year-end December 31, 2014 balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results which ultimately may be achieved for the full year. These interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

2 RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (ASU 2014-08), which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. ASU 2014-08 states that only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results should be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. The standard also requires expanded disclosures about dispositions that provide financial statement users with more information about assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of discontinued operations. The standard is applied prospectively for all disposals of components of an entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015 as further discussed in Note 11.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additionally, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015 the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and adoption as of the original effective date of December 15, 2016 is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (ASU 2015-03), which requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated debt liability. For public business entities, the standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The new guidance will be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.
3 PLAN OF MERGER
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 22, 2015, the Company, the Operating Partnership, LSREF4 Lighthouse Acquisitions, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Parent), LSREF4 Lighthouse Corporate Acquisitions, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (MergerSub), LSREF4 Lighthouse Operating Acquisitions, LLC, a New York limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of MergerSub (Partnership MergerSub), and UDR, Inc., a Maryland corporation (UDR), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement). The Merger Agreement provides for (i) the redemption by the Operating Partnership, in a separate transaction, of limited partnership units of limited partners of the Operating Partnership (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries) (the outside limited partners) who are eligible and have timely elected to have some or all of their limited partnership units redeemed (the Redemption), (ii) the merger of Partnership MergerSub with and into the Operating Partnership (the Partnership Merger), with the Operating Partnership continuing as the surviving entity, and (iii) the merger of the Company with and into MergerSub (the Company Merger and together with the Partnership Merger, the Mergers), with MergerSub continuing as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

3 PLAN OF MERGER (continued)
Agreement and Plan of Merger (continued)
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Company Merger (the Company Merger Effective Time), each share of common stock of the Company (Company Common Stock), including each share of Company Common Stock subject to restrictions or conditions, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $75.23, without interest. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is not permitted to pay further dividends on Company Common Stock, except as is necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT under the Code, and avoid the imposition of corporate level tax or excise tax under Section 4981 of the Code, which authorization, declaration and payment of any such dividend would reduce the Company Common Share Merger Consideration on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
In addition, in accordance with the plan documents, immediately prior to the Company Merger Effective Time:
· each option to purchase Company Common Stock will be fully vested, and converted into the right to receive, at the Company Merger Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option and (y) the excess, if any, of the amount of the Company Common Share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such option, with the aggregate amount of such payment rounded down to the nearest cent (less applicable withholding taxes); and
· each restricted stock unit of the Company will be fully vested (with performance-based RSUs vesting in a number of shares not to exceed 118.42% of the target number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award), and all shares of Company Common Stock represented thereby will be considered outstanding and subject to the right to receive the Company Common Share Merger Consideration (less applicable withholding taxes) at the Company Merger Effective Time.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Redemption each UPREIT Unit that each outside limited partner has timely and validly elected to have redeemed will be redeemed by the Operating Partnership in exchange for:
· 2.15 limited partnership units (UDR Partnership Units) in UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P., a Delaware limited partnership to be formed by UDR and its affiliates for purposes of this transaction (UDR DownREIT Partnership);
· $3.01 in cash, which is based on $1.40 for each UDR Partnership Unit received by such outside limited partner; and
· the right to subscribe for and purchase 2.15 shares of Series F Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of UDR (UDR Preferred Stock) at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Partnership Merger (the Partnership Merger Effective Time), each UPREIT Unit that has not been redeemed for UDR Partnership Units, cash and the right to subscribe for and purchase UDR Preferred Stock as described above will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $75.23, without interest.
The Merger Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants by the Company to conduct its business in all material respects in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, subject to certain exceptions, during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Mergers and covenants prohibiting the Company and its subsidiaries and representatives, from soliciting, providing information or entering into discussions concerning proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions, subject to certain limited exceptions.

3 PLAN OF MERGER (continued)
Agreement and Plan of Merger (continued)
The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Partnership Merger and the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests of the Operating Partnership held by outside limited partners; (ii) approval of the Company Merger and the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock as of the record date for the special meeting of stockholders of the Company; (iii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement (defined below); (iv) the consummation of the Redemption; (v) the absence of a material adverse effect on either the Company or Parent; and (vi) the receipt by Parent of a tax opinion relating to the REIT status of the Company. The obligations of the parties to consummate the Mergers are not subject to any financing condition or the receipt of any financing by Parent, MergerSub or Partnership MergerSub.
The Merger Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances. The Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, Parent may be required to pay the Company a termination fee of $300,000, and UDR will be entitled to receive a portion of such termination fee. The Merger Agreement also provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, the Company may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of either $50,000 or $150,000 (and UDR will be entitled to receive a portion of such termination fee and be reimbursed its transaction expenses) or reimburse Parents transaction expenses up to $35,000. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, UDR may be required to pay Parent and the Company a termination fee of $90,000, of which the Company will receive $55,000 and Parent will receive $35,000. Under certain circumstances, including upon payment of the applicable termination fee, the Company is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with a third party with respect to a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).
The board of directors of the Company (the Company Board) has unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Redemption, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. BofA Merrill Lynch and Houlihan Lokey provided fairness opinions to the Board in connection with the transaction.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company has incurred $3,385 in costs associated with the evaluation and structuring of the Mergers which are included in other expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.
Contribution Agreement
On June 22, 2015, the Operating Partnership, UDR, United Dominion Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (UDR Partnership), and Parent entered into a Contribution Agreement (the Contribution Agreement). The Contribution Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, the Operating Partnership will contribute or cause to be contributed a portfolio of up to six properties to UDR DownREIT Partnership, and UDR DownREIT Partnership will assume certain outstanding indebtedness secured by the contributed properties, in exchange for the following consideration for each UPREIT Unit that the outside limited partners elect to have redeemed (the Operating Partnership Contribution):
· 2.15 UDR Partnership Units;
· $3.01 in cash; and
· the right to subscribe for and purchase 2.15 shares of UDR Preferred Stock.
The Contribution Agreement also provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, UDR and UDR Partnership will contribute or cause to be contributed cash and a portfolio of properties to UDR DownREIT Partnership, and UDR DownREIT Partnership will assume certain outstanding indebtedness secured by the contributed properties, in exchange for UDR Partnership Units (the UDR Contribution and together with the Operating Partnership Contribution, the Contributions).

5 DEVELOPMENT
Land Held for Sale
During the second quarter of 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a strategic decision to discontinue the Companys new development business. Since that time, development activities have been limited to the completion of the development of the two new apartment communities that were already under construction: Eleven55 Ripley in Silver Spring, MD and The Courts at Spring Mill Station in Conshohocken, PA. Land parcels that will not be developed are being marketed for sale and have been reclassified as land held for sale. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has $36,804 recorded as land held for sale.
On March 31, 2015, the Company sold a parcel of vacant land located in Linthicum, Maryland for $13,360. A gain of $70 was recorded in the first quarter 2015 related to this sale.
Severance Costs
The Company estimated it would incur severance charges in the amount of $1,617 in connection with the strategic decision to discontinue the new development business which led to the elimination of development positions. Severance costs include severance, a stay bonus and acceleration of unamortized equity compensation which could be earned after fulfilling specific service requirements. The estimated severance expense was recorded ratably over the estimated requisite service period during the third and fourth quarters of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, Management determined that a portion of the estimated severance charges, that had been accrued and recorded, are no longer expected to be incurred and therefore reversed $500 in the second quarter of 2015 for a total severance cost of $1,117. Severance charges included in impairment and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are ($500) and ($323), respectively.
Redevelopment
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed the redevelopment of Arbor Park, located in Alexandria, Virginia. The project, which began in 2011, involved extensively renovating 851 garden apartments in fifty-two buildings originally built in 1967. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has incurred costs of $33,050 for the renovation which is included in buildings, improvements and equipment.
Development of New Apartment Communities
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed construction at Eleven55 Ripley, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, consisting of two buildings, a 21 story high-rise and a 5 story mid-rise, for a total of 379 apartment units. As of June 30, 2015, 364 units were rented and occupied, with another 10 units pre-leased. The total construction cost for this development was $113,957.
During the second quarter of 2012, the Company started construction on The Courts at Spring Mill Station, located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia. The combination donut/podium style project, consisting of two buildings, will have a total of 385 apartment units. Initial occupancy occurred in the fourth quarter of 2014. As of June 30, 2015, 125 apartment units were occupied and $27,475 was placed into service and included in buildings, improvements and equipment. Construction is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2015. The construction in progress for this development was $57,620 as of June 30, 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company repaid $60,804 for three maturing mortgage loans and made scheduled payments of $15,060. Two of the maturing loans repaid had been accounted for at fair value on the date the mortgage loans were assumed by the Company in connection with an acquisition of a community. Upon repayment, an adjustment was recorded to increase interest expense in the amount of $26 to write-off the difference between the carrying value and the contractual balance of the loans.
The mortgage notes payable outstanding as of June 30, 2015 mature at various dates from 2015 through 2021, with a weighted average remaining term of approximately three years. The weighted average interest rate of the Companys fixed rate notes was 5.17% and 5.20% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The weighted average interest rate of the Companys variable rate notes was 2.93% and 2.90% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Unsecured Term Loans
In December 2011, the Company entered into a five-year unsecured term loan for $250,000 with M&T Bank as lead bank, and ten other participating lenders. On August 19, 2013, the Company amended the loan agreement to extend the maturity date to August 18, 2018. The loan bears monthly interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio.
On July 19, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the variable LIBOR portion of this loan to a fixed rate of 0.685% through December 7, 2016. On November 4, 2013, the Company entered into three additional interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the variable LIBOR portion of this loan to a fixed rate of 2.604% for the period of December 8, 2016 through August 18, 2018. The interest rate swap agreements are more fully described in Note 8. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the spread was 1.00%, and the one-month LIBOR was swapped at 0.685%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.685% for the Company.
On November 19, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with M&T Bank with a May 18, 2015 maturity date. On April 30, 2015, the Company amended the loan agreement to extend the maturity date to July 18, 2015. On July 15, 2015, the maturity date was extended to December 31, 2015 as described in Note 13. The note has a maximum principal amount of $100,000, which the Company borrowed on November 19, 2014. Borrowings under the loan bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the spread was 1.00%, and the one-month LIBOR was 0.19%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.19% for the Company. The Company had $100,000 outstanding under the loan as of June 30, 2015. Proceeds from this loan were utilized to pay down the line of credit.
The unsecured term loans have covenants that align with the unsecured line of credit facility described below. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants for all periods presented.

Unsecured Senior Notes
In December 2011, the Company issued $150,000 of unsecured senior notes. The notes were offered in a private placement in two series: Series A: $90,000 with a seven-year term due December 19, 2018 at a fixed interest rate of 4.46% (Series A); and, Series B: $60,000 with a ten-year term due December 19, 2021 at a fixed interest rate of 5.00% (Series B).
On June 27, 2012, the Company issued another private placement note in the amount of $50,000 with a seven-year term, a fixed rate of 4.16% and a June 27, 2019 maturity date. The proceeds from this note were used to partially fund the purchase of a 1,350 unit apartment community on June 28, 2012.
The unsecured senior notes are subject to various covenants and maintenance of certain financial ratios. Although the covenants of the notes do not duplicate all the covenants of the unsecured line of credit facility, any covenants applicable to both the notes and the line are identical. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants for all periods presented.
Unsecured Line of Credit
On August 19, 2013, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement), which provides for a $450,000 revolving credit facility with an initial maturity date of August 18, 2017 and a one-year extension at the Companys option. The Credit Agreement amended the Companys prior $275,000 facility, which was scheduled to expire on December 8, 2015, not including a one-year extension at the Companys option. The Credit Agreement is with M&T Bank and U.S. Bank National Association as joint lead arrangers, M&T Bank as administrative agent and nine other commercial banks as participants. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the spread was 1.00%, and the one-month LIBOR was 0.19%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.19% for the Company. The Company had $318,500 outstanding under the credit facility as of June 30, 2015.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and measurements including a limitation on outstanding indebtedness and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants for all periods presented.
The Credit Agreement also provides the ability to issue up to $20,000 in letters of credit. While the issuance of letters of credit does not increase borrowings outstanding under the line of credit, it does reduce the amount available. At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $3,675 and the amount available on the credit facility was $127,825.

7 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND REAL ESTATE ASSETS
Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value
The fair value of interest rate swaps, which are more fully described in Note 8, are determined using the market standard 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 rate forward curves derived from observable market interest rate curves (level 2 inputs, as defined by the authoritative guidance). The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterpartys nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. The Company has determined that the significant inputs used in this model are observable in active markets, therefore considers the interest rate swap asset valuation of $6,817 and $294 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and the interest rate swap liability valuation of $4,281 and $2,339 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, as level 2 classifications within the fair value hierarchy.
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements when valuing its financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The valuation of financial instruments requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrows, accounts receivable, other assets, accounts payable, accrued interest payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, except for interest rate swaps, are all carried at their face amounts, which approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature and high probability of realization.
The Company determined the fair value of its mortgage notes payable, unsecured term loans, unsecured senior notes and unsecured line of credit facility using a discounted future cash flow technique that incorporates observable market-based inputs, including a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, loan to value (level 2 inputs), and risk profile (level 3 inputs). In determining the market interest yield curve, the Company considered its investment grade credit ratings (level 2 inputs). The Company has determined that the significant inputs used in this model are observable in active markets, therefore considers the valuation classified as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the Companys total debt, consisting of the mortgage notes, the unsecured term loans, unsecured senior notes and unsecured line of credit, amounted to a liability of $2,504,385 and $2,552,416, respectively, compared to its carrying amount of $2,429,837 and $2,456,175, respectively.
8 DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Companys 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 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 Company does not utilize these arrangements for trading or speculative purposes.

8 DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (continued)
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
On July 19, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the one-month LIBOR portion of a $250,000 five-year variable rate unsecured term loan, originally due on December 8, 2016, from a variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio to a fixed rate of 0.685% plus the applicable spread. As further described in Note 6, the $250,000 unsecured term loan was amended to extend the maturity date to August 18, 2018. On November 4, 2013, the Company entered into three additional interest rate swap agreements for the period of December 8, 2016 through August 18, 2018 to succeed the original two swaps. These three forward swaps effectively convert the variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio to a fixed rate of 2.604% plus the applicable spread.
On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into two forward starting interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $280,000 to hedge the risk of changes in the interest-related cash flows associated with a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 10 years.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable-rate and forecasted issuances of fixed-rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not record any hedge ineffectiveness.

Disclosure of Offsetting Derivatives
As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the gross amount of derivative assets classified on the balance sheet in other assets was $6,817 and $294, respectively. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the gross amount of derivative liabilities classified on the balance sheet in accrued expenses and other liabilities was $4,281 and $2,339, respectively. The Company does not have any derivative instruments offset on the balance sheet or subject to master netting arrangements or similar agreements.
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps. The Company minimizes this risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that provide, among other defaults, that if the Company defaults on indebtedness having an aggregate principal amount in excess of $20,000, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the counterparty could declare the Company in default on its derivative obligations.
As of June 30, 2015, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements and was not in breach of any agreement provisions. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their aggregate termination value of $2,617 at June 30, 2015.

On April 29, 2014, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Companys 2011 Stock Benefit Plan (the 2011 Plan) to increase the maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be subject to awards issued under the 2011 Plan by 4,000,000 shares; and to provide that each full value award granted after April 29, 2014 will count as 5.45 shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan. As of June 30, 2015 there were 3,400,126 shares available for future grant of awards.
The Companys Board of Directors has approved a performance-based equity program for administering awards under the Companys 2011 Plan for the executive officers (the 2011 Executive Performance-Based Equity Program). It is a subplan of the 2011 Plan, approved by the stockholders at their 2011 Annual Meeting. On February 2, 2015, awards in connection with the 2011 Executive Performance-Based Equity Program, with an estimated fair value of $5,040, were granted to executive officers of the Company. Awards are in the form of restricted stock units with a service condition and three market conditions. The measurement period for these awards began on January 1, 2015 and will end on December 31, 2017. Expense attributed to the awards will be recognized based on the underlying vesting conditions of the awards, which substantially vest during the measurement period, taking into account retirement eligibility. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $242 and $2,565, respectively, for the February 2, 2015 awards.
On May 5, 2015, the Company granted awards of restricted stock under the 2011 Plan. Restricted stock with an estimated fair value of $2,384 was granted to eligible employees of the Company and restricted stock with an estimated fair value of $700 was granted to directors. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. In determining the service period, the Company considers service requirements, the vesting period and retirement eligibility of the grantee. During the three months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $363 and $700 related to the May 5, 2015 restricted stock grants for employees and directors, respectively.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed as net income attributable to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock-based compensation (using the treasury stock method). The exchange of an UPREIT Unit for a share of common stock has no effect on diluted EPS as unitholders and stockholders effectively share equally in the net income of the Operating Partnership. Income from continuing operations and discontinued operations is the same for both the basic and diluted calculation.
The reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

10 SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company is engaged in the ownership and management of market rate apartment communities. Each apartment community is considered a separate operating segment. Each segment on a standalone basis is less than 10% of the revenues, net operating income and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets a majority of the aggregation criteria under authoritative guidance. The operating segments are aggregated as Core and Non-core properties.
Non-segment revenue to reconcile to total revenue consists of other income. Non-segment assets to reconcile to total assets include cash and cash equivalents, cash in escrows, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deferred charges and other assets.
Core properties consist of apartment communities which have been owned more than one full calendar year. Therefore, the Core properties represent communities owned as of January 1, 2014. Non-core properties consist of apartment communities acquired, developed or redeveloped during 2014 and 2015, such that comparable operating results are not available. Disposed properties consist of communities sold since January 1, 2015 that are not classified as discontinued operations. Each of our apartment communities generally has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services and residents, although the economic climate of the markets in which they are located may vary from time to time.
The Companys chief operating decision maker assesses and measures segment operating results based on a performance measure referred to as net operating income. Net operating income is defined as total revenues less operating and maintenance expenses, and is a generally accepted industry financial measure. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Notes 1, 2 and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

11 DISPOSITION OF REAL ESTATE AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As discussed in Note 2, on January 1, 2015, the Company prospectively adopted ASU 2014-08 which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08 states that only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entitys operations and financial results should be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements. The Company believes that routine sales of apartment communities generally will not meet the requirements for reporting within discontinued operations under ASU 2014-08. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the Company reported its property dispositions as discontinued operations as prescribed by the former guidance which, assuming no significant continuing involvement by the former owner after the sale, considered the sale of an apartment community as a discontinued operation. In addition, apartment communities classified as held for sale were also considered discontinued operations. The Company generally considered assets to be held for sale when all significant contingencies surrounding the closing had been resolved, which often corresponded with the actual closing date.
Disposition of Real Estate
During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company sold two communities in separate transactions (the 2015 Disposed Communities). A summary of the 2015 Disposed Communities recorded as continuing operations is as follows:

Debt Covenants
The unsecured notes payable and unsecured Credit Agreement contain restrictions which, among other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios. The Company was in compliance with these financial ratios for all periods presented.
Included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are assets of its subsidiary Home Properties Fair Oaks, LLC, owner of The Courts at Fair Oaks, Fairfax County, VA, that are pledged as collateral for specific indebtedness and are not available to satisfy any other obligations of the Company. Also included in the Companys consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 are assets of its subsidiary Home Properties Schaumburg, LLC, owner of The Lakes of Schaumburg, Cook County, IL, that are pledged as collateral for specific indebtedness and are not available to satisfy any other obligations of the Company.
Tax Protection Obligations
In connection with various UPREIT transactions, the Company has agreed to maintain certain levels of nonrecourse debt for a period of 7 to 10 years associated with the contributed properties acquired. In addition, the Company is restricted in its ability to sell certain contributed properties (3% of the owned portfolio at June 30, 2015) for a contract period of 7 to 10 years except through a tax deferred Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange. The remaining terms on the sale restrictions range from 6 months to 2 years.
Tax Credit Guarantee
For periods before October 13, 2010, the Company, through its general partnership interest in an affordable property limited partnership, had guaranteed certain low income housing tax credits to limited partners in this partnership through 2015 totaling approximately $3,000. The Companys general partner interest in this entity was sold on October 13, 2010. The tax credit guarantee was reduced to a $3,000 secondary guarantee. As of June 30, 2015, there were no known conditions that would make such payments probable relating to the tax credit guarantee; therefore, no liability has been recorded in the financial statements.
Executive Retention Plan
The Executive Retention Plan provides for severance benefits and other compensation to be paid to certain employees in the event of a change in control of the Company and a subsequent termination of their employment.

Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by general liability and property insurance. Various claims of employment and resident discrimination are also periodically brought, most of which also are covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
In addition, on June 26, 2015, a purported class action related to the Merger Agreement, Kelly v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case No. 24C15003400, against the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and the members of our board of directors. Five other lawsuits, Lipovich v. Pettinella et al., Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Umbach v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Halberstam v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. and Sindoni v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., were subsequently filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case Nos. 24C15003523, 24C15003618, 24C15003707, 24C15003737 and 24C15003881, on July 1, 2015, July 9, 2015, July 15, 2015, July 16, 2015, and July 24, 2015 respectively. These six lawsuits generally allege breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors in connection with the merger agreement. More specifically, the complaints allege that the defendants failed to take appropriate steps to maximize stockholder value and improperly favored themselves in connection with the proposed transaction. The complaints further assert that the Merger Agreement contains several deal protection provisions that are unnecessarily preclusive. The complaints also allege that some or all of the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and UDR aided and abetted the directors purported breaches of fiduciary duty. Additionally, the plaintiff in Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. purports to bring derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The complaints seek to enjoin defendants from consummating the proposed mergers, to rescind, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement, and various additional remedies. The defendants believe that the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously.
Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, the Operating Partnership and members of the Company Board as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiffs claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
13 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 15, 2015, the Company entered into a second amendment to the $100,000 unsecured loan agreement with M&T Bank originally entered into on November 19, 2014, and as further amended on April 30, 2015, to extend the maturity from July 18, 2015 to December 31, 2015.
On August 3, 2015, the outside limited partners of the Operating Partnership voted to approve the Partnership Merger and the Merger Agreement by affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding limited partnership interests.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended. Some examples of forward-looking statements include statements related to revenue growth, rental rates, occupancy, expense, NOI and other estimates for future periods, acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information), future capital expenditures, potential redevelopment opportunities, projected costs and rental rates for development and redevelopment projects, financing sources and availability, and the effects of environmental and other regulations. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in those forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that expectations will be achieved. Factors that may cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to obtain required stockholder approval required to consummate the proposed Company Merger, the ability of the Operating Partnership to obtain the required unitholder approval to consummate the proposed Partnership Merger, the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions in the merger agreement, the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company and others related to the Merger Agreement, the ability of third parties to fulfill their obligations relating to the proposed transactions, including providing financing under current financial market conditions, the risk that the Company Merger, the Partnership Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may not be completed in the time frame expected by the parties or at all, general economic and local real estate conditions, the weather and other conditions that might affect operating expenses, the timely completion of repositioning activities within anticipated budgets, the actual pace of future acquisitions and dispositions, and continued access to capital to fund growth. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. Some of the words used to identify forward-looking statements include believes, anticipates, plans, expects, seeks, estimates, intends, and any other similar expressions. Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Companys control and could materially affect the Companys actual results, performance or achievements.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Companys principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions to the common stockholders and holders of UPREIT Units, capital improvements and repairs and maintenance for its properties, acquisitions and debt repayments.
The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through cash flows provided by operating activities and its existing unsecured line of credit, described below. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to meet all operating requirements, including availability to pay dividends to its stockholders and make distributions to its unitholders in accordance with the provisions of the Code applicable to REITs.
To the extent that the Company does not satisfy its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operating activities and its existing bank unsecured line of credit, it intends to satisfy such requirements through proceeds from the issuance of unsecured senior notes, from the issuance of its common stock through its equity offering program, described below, and from the sale of properties.
The Company has investment grade ratings from Standard & Poors Ratings Services, Fitch, Inc. and Moodys Investors Service.

The Companys cash flow from operating activities was $172 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $160 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in net operating income from both Core and Non-core Properties as further discussed in Results of Operations.

Investing activities include the sale and purchase of properties, capital improvements to properties, redevelopment, and construction in progress. The Company considers the sale of properties as a potential source of capital for funding acquisitions. Managements strategy also includes continuous repositioning and performance of selective rehabilitation in markets that are able to support rent increases, with a demand in the market for upgraded apartments. Changes between periods are primarily due to net acquisition and disposition activity, the rate of capital improvements and construction in progress expenditures for the remaining development projects.
Cash used in investing activities was $50 million through June 30, 2015. In the first six months of 2015, the Company raised $123 million in net proceeds from the sale of two properties with 1,141 units. The Company sold one vacant parcel of land for $13 million. The Company purchased two properties with 951 units for $118 million, net of a $5 million deposit. Cash outflows for capital improvements and redevelopment were $52 million and $3 million, respectively. Cash outflows for additions to construction in progress were $13 million, which were for the completion of Eleven55 Ripley and The Courts at Spring Mill Station.
Cash used in investing activities was $22 million through June 30, 2014. In the first six months of 2014, the Company raised $106 million in net proceeds from the sale of one property with 864 units. The Company purchased one property with 376 units for $45 million. Cash outflows for capital improvements and redevelopment were $55 million and $3 million, respectively. Cash outflows for additions to construction in progress were $25 million which were for the development of Eleven55 Ripley and The Courts at Spring Mill Station.

Financing activities include proceeds from equity issuances, net debt proceeds or payments and dividend and distribution payments. Equity and debt activities are closely aligned with investing activities discussed above. The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, which requires the Company to distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $126 million through June 30, 2015, comprised primarily of reducing secured indebtedness and distributions paid. Proceeds raised through the sale of common stock from stock option exercises of $4 million, combined with net proceeds from the unsecured line of credit of $50 million, were more than offset by scheduled payments on mortgages of $15 million, payoff of mortgages of $61 million and distributions paid to stockholders and UPREIT Unitholders of $104 million.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $139 million through June 30, 2014, comprised primarily of reducing secured indebtedness. Proceeds raised through the sale of common stock from stock option exercises of $8 million, combined with net proceeds from the unsecured line of credit of $89 million were more than offset by scheduled payments on mortgages of $16 million, payoff of mortgages of $122 million and distributions paid to stockholders and UPREIT Unitholders of $98 million.
Unsecured Line of Credit
As of June 30, 2015, the Company had a $450 million unsecured line of credit agreement with M&T Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as joint lead banks, and nine other participating commercial banks, with an initial maturity date of August 18, 2017 and a one-year extension, at the Companys option. The Company had $318.5 million outstanding under the credit facility on June 30, 2015. The line of credit agreement provides the ability to issue up to $20 million in letters of credit. While the issuance of letters of credit does not increase the borrowings outstanding under the line of credit, it does reduce the amount available. At June 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $3.7 million resulting in the amount available on the credit facility of $127.8 million. Borrowings under the line of credit bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the LIBOR margin was 1.00%, and the one-month LIBOR was 0.19%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.19% for the Company.
The unsecured line of credit has not been used, nor is expected to be used in the future, for long-term financing but adds a certain amount of flexibility, especially in meeting the Companys acquisition goals. Many times it is easier to temporarily finance an acquisition, development or stock repurchases by short-term use of the line of credit, with long-term secured and unsecured financing or other sources of capital replenishing the line of credit availability.

Unsecured Term Loans
On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a $250 million five-year unsecured term loan with M&T Bank as lead bank, and ten other participating lenders, which was set to mature on December 8, 2016. The term loan generated net proceeds of $248 million, after fees and closing costs, which were used to pay off an unsecured term loan, purchase an unencumbered property and acquire land for future development. On August 19, 2013, the Company amended the term loan agreement to extend the maturity date to August 18, 2018. The loan bears monthly interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. On July 19, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with major financial institutions that effectively convert the variable LIBOR portion of this loan to a fixed rate of 0.685% through December 7, 2016. On November 4, 2013, the Company entered into three additional interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the variable LIBOR portion of this loan to a fixed rate of 2.604% for the period of December 8, 2016 through August 18, 2018. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the spread was 1.00%, and the swapped one-month LIBOR was 0.685%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.685% for the Company. The loan has covenants that align with the unsecured line of credit facility.
On November 19, 2014, the Company entered into an unsecured loan agreement with M&T Bank with a May 18, 2015 maturity date. On April 30, 2015, the Company amended the loan agreement to extend the maturity date to July 18, 2015 and on July 15, 2015, the Company further amended the loan agreement to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2015. The note has a maximum principal amount of $100 million, which the Company borrowed on November 19, 2014. Borrowings under the loan bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2015, based on the Companys leverage ratio, the spread was 1.00%, and the one-month LIBOR was 0.19%; resulting in an effective rate of 1.19% for the Company. The Company had $100 million outstanding under the loan as of June 30, 2015. Proceeds from this loan were utilized to pay down the line of credit. The loan has covenants that align with the unsecured line of credit facility.
Unsecured Senior Notes
On December 19, 2011, the Company issued $150 million of unsecured senior notes. The notes were offered in a private placement in two series: Series A: $90 million with a seven-year term due December 19, 2018 at a fixed interest rate of 4.46% (Series A); and, Series B: $60 million with a ten-year term due December 19, 2021 at a fixed interest rate of 5.00% (Series B). The net proceeds of $89 million and $60 million for Series A and Series B, respectively, after fees and closing costs, were used to purchase an unencumbered property and pay off a maturing mortgage note. The notes require semiannual interest payments on June 19 and December 19 of each year until maturity and are subject to various covenants and maintenance of certain financial ratios. Although the covenants of the notes do not duplicate all the covenants of the unsecured line of credit facility, any covenants applicable to both the notes and the line are identical.
On June 27, 2012, the Company issued a private placement note in the amount of $50 million with a seven-year term, a fixed rate of 4.16% and a June 27, 2019 due date. The proceeds from this note were used to partially fund the purchase of a 1,350 unit apartment community on June 28, 2012. The note requires semiannual interest payments on June 27 and December 27 of each year until maturity and is subject to various covenants and maintenance of certain financial ratios. Although the covenants of the note do not duplicate all the covenants of the unsecured line of credit facility, any covenants applicable to both the note and the line are identical.
Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2015, the weighted average interest rate on the Companys total indebtedness of $2.4 billion was 4.05% with staggered maturities averaging approximately 3 years. Approximately 82% of total indebtedness is at fixed rates. This limits the exposure to changes in interest rates, minimizing the effect of interest rate fluctuations on the Companys results of operations and cash flows.

Unencumbered Assets
The value of the unencumbered asset pool was 55% as of June 30, 2015 compared to 53% at the end of 2014 as calculated pursuant to the covenants of the line of credit agreement. Higher levels of unsecured assets add borrowing flexibility because more capacity is available for unsecured debt under the terms of the Companys unsecured line of credit agreement, and/or for the issuance of additional unsecured senior notes. It also permits the Company to place secured financing on unencumbered assets if desired.
UPREIT Units
The Company believes that the issuance of UPREIT Units for property acquisitions could continue to be a potential source of capital for the Company. During 2014 and through June 30, 2015, there were no UPREIT Units issued for property acquisitions.
Universal Shelf Registration
On February 28, 2013, the Company filed a Form S-3 universal shelf registration statement with the SEC that registers the issuance, from time to time, of common stock, preferred stock or debt securities. The Company may offer and sell securities issued pursuant to the universal shelf registration statement after a prospectus supplement, describing the type of security and amount being offered, is filed with the SEC. Sales of common stock under the Companys equity offerings on or after February 28, 2013, described below, were made under this registration statement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is generally prohibited from issuing additional common stock.
Authorized Capital Stock
On April 29, 2014, the stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Companys Articles of Incorporation to increase the shares of common stock authorized to be issued from 80,000,000 to 160,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share. The newly authorized shares of common stock can be issued from time to time for any corporate purpose deemed advisable by the Board, which may include capital raising transactions of equity or convertible debt securities, stock splits, stock dividends, issuance under current or future equity compensation and incentive plans, employee stock plans and savings plans, conversion of UPREIT Units, and acquisitions of individual properties or portfolios of multiple properties.
At-the-Market Equity Offering Programs
The Company has an At-the-Market (ATM) equity offering program through which it is authorized to sell shares of common stock from time to time in ATM offerings or negotiated transactions. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the current ATM program during 2014 and through June 30, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, approximately 2.0 million shares remain available to be issued under the current ATM program. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is generally prohibited from issuing additional common stock.
Stock Repurchase Program
In 1997, the Board approved a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase shares of its common stock or UPREIT Units (Company Program). The shares and units may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of Company management. The Boards action did not establish a target stock price or a specific timetable for repurchases. There were no repurchases under the Company Program during 2014 and through June 30, 2015. The remaining authorization level as of June 30, 2015 is 2.3 million shares. The terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit the Company from repurchasing outstanding shares under the Company Program.

Dispositions
On January 26, 2015, the Company sold The New Colonies, an apartment community with a total of 672 units, for $49.3 million. The community was located in Steger, Illinois. A gain on sale of $27.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2015 related to this sale.
On March 25, 2015, the Company sold The Coves at Chesapeake, an apartment community with a total of 469 units, for $76.3 million. The community was located in Glen Burnie, Maryland. A gain on sale of $12.8 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2015 related to this sale.
Property Development
Discontinuance of New Development
During the second quarter of 2014, the Company made a strategic decision to discontinue the Companys business of developing new apartment communities. Since that time, development activities have been limited to the completion of the development of the two new apartment communities that were already under construction: Eleven55 Ripley in Silver Spring, MD and The Courts at Spring Mill Station in Conshohocken, PA. No additional new apartment communities will be started. Land parcels that will not be developed by the Company are being marketed for sale.
On March 31, 2015, the Company sold a parcel of vacant land located in Linthicum, Maryland for $13.4 million. A gain of $0.1 million was recorded in the first quarter 2015 related to this sale.
The Company estimated it would incur severance charges in the amount of $1.6 million in connection with the strategic decision to discontinue the new development business which led to the elimination of development positions. Severance costs include severance, a stay bonus and acceleration of unamortized equity compensation which could be earned after fulfilling specific service requirements. The estimated severance expense was recorded ratably over the estimated requisite service period during the third and fourth quarters of 2014 and the first quarter of 2015. During the second quarter of 2015, Management determined that a portion of the estimated severance charges, that had been accrued and recorded, are no longer expected to be incurred and therefore reversed $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2015 for a total severance cost of $1.1 million. Severance charges included in impairment and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 are $(0.5) million and $(0.3) million, respectively.
Development of New Apartment Communities
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed construction at Eleven55 Ripley, located in Silver Spring, Maryland, consisting of two buildings, a 21 story high-rise and a 5 story mid-rise, for a total of 379 apartment units. As of June 30, 2015, 364 units were rented and occupied, with another 10 units pre-leased. The total construction cost for this development was $114 million.
The Courts at Spring Mill Station, a 385 unit development consisting of two buildings, being built in a combination donut/podium style, is located in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Construction commenced in the second quarter of 2012, and is expected to continue through the fourth quarter of 2015. Initial occupancy commenced in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Property Development (continued)
Redevelopment
During the second quarter of 2015, the Company completed the redevelopment of Arbor Park, located in Alexandria, Virginia. The project, which began in 2011, involved extensively renovating 851 garden apartments in fifty-two buildings originally built in 1967. As of June 30, 2015, the Company has incurred costs of $33 million for the renovation, which is included in buildings, improvements and equipment.
Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments
The primary obligations of the Company relate to its borrowings under the unsecured line of credit, unsecured notes and mortgage notes. The Companys line of credit matures in August 2017 (not including a one-year extension at the option of the Company), and had $318.5 million in loans and letters of credit totaling $3.7 million outstanding at June 30, 2015. The $550 million in unsecured notes have maturities ranging from approximately 1 month to 6.5 years. The $1.6 billion in mortgage notes have varying maturities ranging from 1 month to 6.3 years. The weighted average interest rate of the Companys secured debt was 5.14% at June 30, 2015. The weighted average interest rate on the Companys total indebtedness of $2.4 billion at June 30, 2015 was 4.05%.
The Company leases its corporate and regional office space from non-affiliated third parties. The rent for the corporate office space is a gross rent that includes real estate taxes and common area maintenance. The regional office leases are net leases that require an annual base rent plus a pro-rata portion of real estate taxes.
The Company has a secondary guarantee through 2015 on certain low income housing tax credits to limited partners in a partnership in which it previously was a general partner totaling approximately $3 million. With respect to the guarantee of the low income housing tax credits, the new unrelated general partner assumed operating deficit guarantee and primary tax credit guarantee positions. The Company believes the propertys operations conform to the applicable requirements and does not anticipate any payment on the guarantee; therefore, no liability has been recorded in the financial statements.
Capital Improvements (dollars in thousands, except unit and per unit data)
The Companys policy is to capitalize costs related to the acquisition, development, rehabilitation, construction and improvement of properties. Capital improvements are costs that increase the value and extend the useful life of an asset. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the useful life of the asset are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred on a lease turnover due to normal wear and tear by the resident are expensed on the turn. Recurring capital improvements typically include appliances, carpeting and flooring, HVAC equipment, kitchen and bath cabinets, new roofs, site improvements and various exterior building improvements. Non-recurring revenue generating upgrades include community centers, new windows, and kitchen and bath apartment upgrades. Revenue generating capital improvements are expected to directly result in increased rental earnings or expense savings. The Company capitalizes interest and certain internal personnel costs related to the communities under rehabilitation and construction.
The Company estimates, that on an annual basis, $900 per apartment unit is spent on recurring capital expenditures. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $225 per apartment unit was estimated to be spent on recurring capital expenditures. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately $450 per apartment unit was estimated to be spent on recurring capital expenditures.

Results of Operations (dollars in thousands, except unit and per unit data)
Net operating income (NOI) falls within the definition of non-GAAP financial measure set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and, as a result, the Company is required to include in this report a statement disclosing the reasons why management believes that presentation of this measure provides useful information to investors. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Companys apartment communities. In addition, the apartment communities are valued and sold in the market by using a multiple of NOI. The Company uses this measure to compare its performance to that of its peer group. For a reconciliation of NOI to income from continuing operations, please refer to Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of this Form 10-Q.
Summary of Core Properties
The Company had 113 apartment communities with 38,569 units which were owned during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (the Core Properties). The Company has one property with 851 units that completed significant renovations in the second quarter 2015 that began in 2011; accordingly, the operating results for 2015 are not comparable to 2014 due to those units being taken out of service during the redevelopment period (the Redevelopment Property). The Company acquired three apartment communities with 1,052 units and placed into service another 404 units at two development communities during 2014; and acquired two apartment communities with 951 units and had another 40 units become available to rent at one development community during 2015 (the Acquisition Communities). The Company also disposed of two apartment communities with 1,141 units during 2015 (the Disposition Communities). The inclusion of these acquired, developed and disposed communities generally accounted for the significant changes in operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
A summary of the net operating income for the Core Properties is as follows:

Results of Operations (continued)
Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2015 to the same period in 2014
Of the $10,681 increase in rental income, $8,658 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities and Redevelopment Property offset by a decrease of $3,219 attributable to the Disposition Communities. The balance, an increase of $5,242, relates to a 3.6% increase from the Core Properties as the result of an increase of 3.0% in weighted average rental rates to $1,371 from $1,330 per apartment unit, and by a 0.5% increase in economic occupancy to 95.0% from 94.5%. Economic occupancy is defined as total possible rental income, net of vacancy and bad debt expense, as a percentage of total possible rental income. Total possible rental income is determined by valuing occupied units at contract rents and vacant units at market rents. Of the $323 increase in utility recovery revenue, $329 is attributable to the Core Properties and $144 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities and Redevelopment Property, partially offset by a decrease of $150 attributable to the Disposed Communities. The higher Core Properties utility recovery is primarily the result of higher sewer costs in the 2015 period compared to the 2014 period.
Property other income, which consists primarily of income from operation of laundry facilities, late charges, administrative fees, garage and carport rentals, revenue from corporate apartments, cable revenue, pet charges, and miscellaneous charges to residents, increased by $246. Of the increase, $433 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities, partially offset by decreases of $164 attributable to the Disposed Communities, $11 for the Redevelopment Property and $12 for the Core Properties. The decrease in Core Properties is primarily from decreases in revenue from corporate apartments and other income, partially offset by increases in cable revenue, pet charges, damages, miscellaneous charges to residents and lower bad debt expense.
Of the $1,538 increase in operating and maintenance expenses, $3,511 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities, partially offset by decreases of $1,271 attributable to the Disposed Communities, $22 for the Redevelopment Property and $680 for the Core Properties. The decrease in Core Properties is primarily due to decreases in natural gas heating costs and repairs & maintenance expense, partially offset by increases in water & sewer costs, property insurance and real estate taxes.
Natural gas heating costs were down $398, or 16.4%, from a year ago due to lower commodity rates and a significant decrease in consumption due to the normal spring of 2015 compared to the extreme cold of 2014. For the second quarter of 2015, our natural gas weighted average cost, including transportation of $3.00 per decatherm, was $7.37 per decatherm, compared to $7.65 per decatherm for the 2014 period, a 3.7% decrease.
Repairs & maintenance expense decreased $2,450, or 27.4%, primarily due to expected proceeds from insurance claims exceeding the cost basis of destroyed assets, with the most significant claim resulting in proceeds of $2,350 from a fire at one of the Companys communities in 2015. Without the impact of these recoveries, the recurring repairs & maintenance expense increased $280, or 3.2%.
Water & sewer costs were up $296, or 6.8%, from the 2014 period due primarily to new fees for storm water handling instituted by municipalities in our Mid-Atlantic region.
Property insurance increased $825, or 59.9%, primarily due to an increase in self-insured reserve adjustments between periods of $623 resulting from two significant fires at the Companys communities in the 2015 period. General liability insurance reserves were also increased $360 in 2015. Without the impact of these major items above, recurring property insurance costs were down $159, or 11.5%, which is reflective of lower insurance policy premiums.
Real estate taxes increased $743, or 4.8%, primarily due to annual tax assessment increases, some of which are triggered by our investments in apartment upgrades and repositioning. The Company continues to challenge tax assessments on existing properties where appropriate.

Results of Operations (continued)
Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2015 to the same period in 2014 (continued)
General and administrative expenses decreased $164, or 2.3%. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 3.9% for 2015 as compared to 4.2% for 2014. Stock-based compensation costs were $312 lower than the same period of 2014 due to $127 lower restricted stock expense and the discontinuance of stock option grants in 2014 which resulted in $185 lower expense. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in other general and administrative costs of $148 which included $162 in non-recurring expenses for abandoned pursuit costs.
Interest expense increased by $413, or 1.7%, in 2015 primarily due to higher line of credit borrowings in 2015, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate which decreased to 4.05% at June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.29% at June 30, 2014. Refer to the information under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources above for specific discussion of debt transactions impacting the average rate and overall interest expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3,745, or 8.4%, due to the depreciation on the Acquisition Communities and the capital additions to the Core Properties and Redevelopment Property.
Other expenses in 2015 primarily relate to costs associated with the evaluation of the merger offer from Lone Star, the structuring of the transaction with Lone Star and UDR, Inc. and related matters of $3,385 and in 2014 relate to property acquisition costs of $274 for the Acquisition Communities.
Impairment and other charges decrease of $4,342 is in connection with the 2014 decision to discontinue new property development and represent severance costs and accelerated recognition of stock-based compensation over the remaining service period of development personnel which were down to one full time equivalent at June 30, 2015.
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2015 to the same period in 2014
Of the $21,726 increase in rental income, $16,282 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities and Redevelopment Property offset by a decrease of $4,312 attributable to the Disposition Communities. The balance, an increase of $9,756, relates to a 3.4% increase from the Core Properties as the result of an increase of 3.0% in weighted average rental rates to $1,364 from $1,324 per apartment unit, and by a 0.4% increase in economic occupancy to 94.6% from 94.2%. Of the $68 decrease in utility recovery revenue, $236 is attributable to the Disposed Communities, $111 is attributable to the Core Properties and $44 is attributable to the Redevelopment Property, partially offset by an increase of $323 attributable to the Acquisition Communities. The lower Core Properties utility recovery revenue is a direct result of lower energy consumption in 2015 compared to the extreme cold weather experienced in the 2014 period.
Property other income, which consists primarily of income from operation of laundry facilities, late charges, administrative fees, garage and carport rentals, revenue from corporate apartments, cable revenue, pet charges, and miscellaneous charges to residents, increased by $763. Of the increase, $804 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities and $39 is attributable to the Core Properties, partially offset by a decrease of $62 attributable to the Disposed Communities and $18 for the Redevelopment Property. The increase in Core Properties is primarily from pet charges, application fees, damages, miscellaneous charges to residents and lower bad debt expense, partially offset by decreases in late charges, revenue from corporate apartments and other income.
Of the $3,274 increase in operating and maintenance expenses, $6,664 is attributable to the Acquisition Communities, partially offset by decreases of $1,853 attributable to the Disposed Communities, $62 for the Redevelopment Property and $1,475 for the Core Properties. The decrease in Core Properties is primarily due to decreases in natural gas heating costs and repairs & maintenance expense, partially offset by increases in water & sewer costs, legal & professional, property insurance and real estate taxes.

Results of Operations (continued)
Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2015 to the same period in 2014 (continued)
Natural gas heating costs were down $1,025, or 11.1%, from a year ago due to lower commodity rates and a significant decrease in consumption due to the normal winter of 2015 compared to the extreme cold winter of 2014. For 2015, our natural gas weighted average cost, including transportation of $3.00 per decatherm, was $7.35 per decatherm, compared to $7.68 per decatherm for the 2014 period, a 4.3% decrease.
Repairs & maintenance expense decreased $2,581, or 17.1%, primarily due to expected proceeds from insurance claims exceeding the cost basis of destroyed assets, with the most significant claim resulting in proceeds of $2,350 from a fire that occurred at one of the Companys communities in 2015. Without the impact of these recoveries, the recurring repairs & maintenance expense increased $149, or 1.0%.
Water & sewer costs were up $412, or 4.7%, from the 2014 period due primarily to new fees for storm water handling instituted by municipalities in our Mid-Atlantic region.
Legal & professional expenses were up $183, or 33.3%, directly due to legal costs incurred in connection with successful tax assessment challenges.
Property insurance increased $325, or 7.2%, primarily due to increase of $467 in self insured general liability losses and $136 in property losses reflecting increases in prior period claim estimates partially offset by lower current period losses. The 2014 period experienced higher property losses and general liability claims due to the extreme cold weather in all of our regions causing pipe breaks and increase incidences of slips, trips and falls. Without these insurance reserve adjustments, recurring property insurance costs were down $278, or 6.1%, primarily reflecting lower insurance premiums.
Real estate taxes increased $1,085, or 3.4%, primarily due to annual tax assessment increases some of which are triggered by our investments in apartment upgrades and repositioning. In addition, the 2015 period contained prior period refunds and tax abatements of $345 compared to no prior period refunds in 2014. Without these refunds and tax abatements real estate taxes were up $1,429, or 4.5%. The Company continues to challenge tax assessments on existing properties where appropriate.
General and administrative expenses decreased $879, or 5.4%. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues were 4.4% for 2015 as compared to 4.8% for 2014. Stock-based compensation costs were $2,275 lower than the same period of 2014 due primarily to a change in vesting and the related expensing of restricted stock units for executives at or near official retirement age. This change no longer requires these grants to be expensed immediately which resulted in $1,672 lower expense. This decrease was partially offset by an increase to corporate bonus expense of $671 primarily due to the 2014 period having a lower performance from record winter weather. All other general and administrative costs were up $725 which included $569 in non-recurring expenses for credit agency, recruitment, consulting and abandoned pursuit costs.
Interest expense increased by $1,044, or 2.1%, in 2015 primarily due to higher line of credit borrowings in 2015, partially offset by a lower weighted average interest rate which decreased to 4.05% at June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.29% at June 30, 2014. Refer to the information under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources above for specific discussion of debt transactions impacting the average rate and overall interest expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7,833, or 8.9%, due to the depreciation on the Acquisition Communities and the capital additions to the Core Properties and Redevelopment Property.
Other expenses increased $3,480 primarily due to $3,385 in costs associated with the evaluation of the merger offer from Lone Star, the structuring of the transaction with Lone Star and UDR, Inc. and related matters and $95 higher property acquisition costs in 2015 of the Acquisition Communities.
Impairment and other charges decrease of $4,161 is in connection with the 2014 decision to discontinue new property development and represent severance costs and accelerated recognition of stock-based compensation over the remaining service period of development personnel which were down to one full time equivalent at June 30, 2015.

Funds From Operations
Pursuant to the updated guidance for Funds From Operations (FFO) provided by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP)) excluding gains or losses from sales of property, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, noncontrolling interest, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of change in accounting principle plus depreciation from real property including adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures less dividends from non-convertible preferred shares. Because of the limitations of the FFO definition as published by NAREIT as set forth above, the Company has made certain interpretations in applying the definition. The Company believes all adjustments not specifically provided for are consistent with the definition.
In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO after a specific and defined supplemental adjustment to exclude losses from early extinguishments of debt associated with the sales of real estate (FFO as adjusted). The adjustment to exclude losses from early extinguishments of debt results when the sale of real estate encumbered by debt requires us to pay the extinguishment and other one-time costs prior to the debts stated maturity and to write-off unamortized loan costs at the date of the extinguishment. Such costs are excluded from the gains on sales of real estate reported in accordance with GAAP. However, we view the losses from early extinguishments of debt associated with the sales of real estate as an incremental cost of the sale transactions because we extinguished the debt in connection with the consummation of the sale transactions and we had no intent to extinguish the debt absent such transactions. We believe that this supplemental adjustment more appropriately reflects the results of our operations exclusive of the impact of our sale transactions.
Although our FFO as adjusted clearly differs from NAREITs definition of FFO, and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because we believe that, by excluding the effects of the losses from early extinguishments of debt associated with the sales of real estate, management and investors are presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in presenting FFO.
Neither FFO, nor FFO as adjusted, should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. Neither FFO, nor FFO as adjusted, represents cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and neither is a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO, and FFO as adjusted, should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
FFO, and FFO as adjusted, fall within the definition of non-GAAP financial measure set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and as a result the Company is required to include in this report a statement disclosing the reasons why management believes that presentation of this measure provides useful information to investors. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the combined historical operating results of the Company, FFO, and FFO as adjusted, should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements included herein. Management believes that by excluding gains or losses related to dispositions of property and excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of similar assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO, and FFO as adjusted, can help one compare the operating performance of a companys real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. In addition, FFO as adjusted ties the losses on early extinguishment of debt to the real estate which was sold triggering the extinguishment. The Company also uses these measures to compare its performance to that of its peer group.

Debt Covenants
The unsecured notes payable agreements and Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and measurements including a limitation on outstanding indebtedness and a minimum interest coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants for all periods presented.
Economic Conditions
Substantially all of the leases at the communities are for a term of one year or less, which enables the Company to seek increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or commencement of new leases. These short-term leases minimize the potential adverse effect of inflation on rental income, although residents may leave without penalty at the end of their lease terms and may do so if rents are increased significantly.
Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by general liability and property insurance. Various claims of employment and resident discrimination are also periodically brought, most of which also are covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
In addition, on June 26, 2015, a purported class action related to the Merger Agreement, Kelly v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case No. 24C15003400, against the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and the members of our board of directors. Five other lawsuits, Lipovich v. Pettinella et al., Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Umbach v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Halberstam v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. and Sindoni v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., were subsequently filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case Nos. 24C15003523, 24C15003618, 24C15003707, 24C15003737 and 24C15003881, on July 1, 2015, July 9, 2015, July 15, 2015, July 16, 2015, and July 24, 2015 respectively. These six lawsuits generally allege breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors in connection with the merger agreement. More specifically, the complaints allege that the defendants failed to take appropriate steps to maximize stockholder value and improperly favored themselves in connection with the proposed transaction. The complaints further assert that the Merger Agreement contains several deal protection provisions that are unnecessarily preclusive. The complaints also allege that some or all of the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and UDR aided and abetted the directors purported breaches of fiduciary duty. Additionally, the plaintiff in Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. purports to bring derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The complaints seek to enjoin defendants from consummating the proposed mergers, to rescind, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement, and various additional remedies. The defendants believe that the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously.
Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, the Operating Partnership and members of the Company Board as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiffs claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.

(a) Includes $250 million of variable rate debt where the one-month LIBOR was swapped to a fixed rate of 0.685% at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
The Company uses a combination of fixed and variable rate secured and unsecured debt. The Company intends to use cash flows provided by operating activities and its existing line of credit to repay indebtedness and fund capital expenditures. On occasion, the Company may use its unsecured line of credit in connection with a property acquisition with the intention to refinance at a later date. The Company believes that increases in interest expense as a result of inflation would not significantly impact the Companys distributable cash flow.
On July 19, 2012, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the one-month LIBOR portion of a $250 million five-year variable rate unsecured term loan, originally due on December 8, 2016, from a variable rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% to 2.00% based on the Companys leverage ratio to a fixed rate of 0.685% plus the applicable spread. On August 19, 2013, the Company amended the five-year variable rate unsecured term loan agreement to extend the maturity date to August 18, 2018. On November 4, 2013, the Company entered into three additional interest rate swap agreements that effectively convert the LIBOR portion of this loan to a fixed rate of 2.604% plus the applicable spread for the period December 8, 2016 through August 18, 2018. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps. The Company minimizes this risk exposure by limiting counterparties to major banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
On January 6, 2015, the Company entered into two forward starting interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $280 million to hedge the risk of changes in the interest-related cash flows associated with a forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 10 years.
At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the Companys total debt, including the unsecured notes payable and line of credit, amounted to a liability of $2.50 billion and $2.55 billion, respectively, compared to its carrying amount of $2.43 billion and $2.46 billion, respectively. The Company estimates that a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates at June 30, 2015 would have changed the fair value of the Companys total debt to a liability of $2.44 billion and would result in $3.5 million higher interest expense on the variable rate debt on an annualized basis.
The Company intends to continuously monitor and actively manage interest costs on its variable rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based upon market fluctuations. Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such interest rate protection agreements in relation to the Companys access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated. The Company has not, and does not plan to, enter into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. In addition, the Company believes that it has the ability to obtain funds through additional debt and equity offerings and the issuance of UPREIT Units for property acquisitions. As of June 30, 2015, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the officers who certify the Companys financial reports and to the other members of senior management and the Board.
The Companys management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer evaluated, as of June 30, 2015, the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with that evaluation, or that occurred during the second quarter of the year ending December 31, 2015, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by general liability and property insurance. Various claims of employment and resident discrimination are also periodically brought, most of which also are covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
In addition, on June 26, 2015, a purported class action related to the Merger Agreement, Kelly v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., was filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case No. 24C15003400, against the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and the members of our board of directors. Five other lawsuits, Lipovich v. Pettinella et al., Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Umbach v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., Halberstam v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. and Sindoni v. Home Properties, Inc., et al., were subsequently filed in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland, Case Nos. 24C15003523, 24C15003618, 24C15003707, 24C15003737 and 24C15003881, on July 1, 2015, July 9, 2015, July 15, 2015, July 16, 2015, and July 24, 2015 respectively. These six lawsuits generally allege breaches of fiduciary duties by our directors in connection with the merger agreement. More specifically, the complaints allege that the defendants failed to take appropriate steps to maximize stockholder value and improperly favored themselves in connection with the proposed transaction. The complaints further assert that the Merger Agreement contains several deal protection provisions that are unnecessarily preclusive. The complaints also allege that some or all of the Company, the Operating Partnership, Lone Star Funds, Parent, MergerSub, Partnership MergerSub, and UDR aided and abetted the directors purported breaches of fiduciary duty. Additionally, the plaintiff in Jonas v. Home Properties, Inc., et al. purports to bring derivative claims for breach of fiduciary duty. The complaints seek to enjoin defendants from consummating the proposed mergers, to rescind, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement, and various additional remedies. The defendants believe that the allegations against them lack merit and intend to defend against the lawsuits vigorously.
Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, the Operating Partnership and members of the Company Board as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits or the lawsuits described above, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiffs claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Refer to the Risk Factors disclosure in the Companys Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. In addition to the risks identified in the 2014 Form 10-K, the Company is also subject to the following additional risks:
If the Mergers are completed, our stockholders will forgo the opportunity to benefit from potential future appreciation in the value of the Company.
If the Mergers are consummated, stockholders will no longer hold interests in the Company and, therefore, will not be entitled to benefit from any potential future appreciation in the value of the Company. In addition, in the absence of the Mergers, the Company could have various opportunities to enhance its value, including, but not limited to, entering into a transaction that values the shares of common stock higher than the value provided for in the Merger Agreement. Therefore, if the Mergers are completed, stockholders will forgo future appreciation, if any, in the value of the Company and the opportunity to participate in any other potential transactions that may have resulted in a higher price per share than the price to be paid in the Mergers.
47
Table of Contents
Risk Factors (continued)
Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively affect the value of the Companys common stock and its future business and financial results.
If the Mergers are not completed, the Companys ongoing business could be adversely affected, and it would be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Mergers, including the following:
· being required, under certain circumstances, to pay the Parent a termination fee $150 million or reimburse Parents transaction expenses up to $35 million;
· incurrence of substantial costs in connection with the proposed Mergers and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, financial advisory, filing, printing and mailing fees;
· diversion of management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Mergers; and
· reputational harm due to the adverse perception of any failure to successfully complete the Mergers.
If the Mergers are not completed, these risks could materially affect the Companys business and financial results and the price of its common stock. Moreover, if the Mergers fail to occur as a result of Parents failure to obtain debt financing, Parents liability is limited to the payment of a $300 million termination fee, a portion of which the Company will share with UDR, Inc. in certain circumstances.
An adverse judgment in one or more lawsuits challenging the Mergers may prevent the Mergers from becoming effective or from becoming effective within the expected timeframe.
In addition, the Company, the Operating Partnership, and the members of the Company Board have been named as defendants in six separate putative class and/or derivative lawsuits brought by stockholders challenging the Mergers and seeking, among other things, to enjoin the completion of the Mergers and to rescind, to the extent already implemented, the Merger Agreement, and various additional remedies. Stockholders may file additional lawsuits challenging the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, which may name the Company, the Operating Partnership and members of the Company Board as defendants. No assurance can be made as to the outcome of such lawsuits, including the amount of costs associated with defending these claims or any other liabilities that may be incurred in connection with the litigation of these claims. If plaintiffs are successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the parties from completing the Mergers on the agreed-upon terms, such an injunction may delay the completion of the Mergers in the expected timeframe, or may prevent the Mergers from being completed altogether. Whether or not any plaintiffs claim is successful, this type of litigation may result in significant costs and diverts managements attention and resources, which could adversely affect the operation of our business.
The pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect the Companys business and operations.
Prior to consummation of the Mergers, some of the Companys residents or vendors may delay or defer decisions with respect to their business with the Company, which could negatively affect revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Mergers are completed. Similarly, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Parent and/or UDR following the Mergers, which may materially adversely affect the Companys ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Mergers. In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Merger Agreement, the Company may be unable, during the pendency of the Mergers to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
48
Table of Contents
Risk Factors (continued)
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer of the Company or could result in any competing acquisition proposal being at a lower price than it might otherwise be.
Following July 22, 2015, the Merger Agreement contains provisions that, subject to limited exceptions, restrict the Companys ability to solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or facilitate any acquisition proposal. With respect to any written, bona fide acquisition proposal that the Company receives, Parent generally has an opportunity to offer to modify the terms of the Merger Agreement in response to such proposal before the Company Board may withdraw or modify its recommendation to stockholders in response to such acquisition proposal or terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such acquisition proposal. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under circumstances relating to an acquisition proposal, the Company may be required to pay a termination fee of $150 million to Parent.
These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of the Companys business from considering or making a competing acquisition proposal, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share cash value than that market value proposed to be received or realized in the Mergers, or might cause a potential competing acquirer to propose to pay a lower price than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because of the added expense of the termination fee and expense reimbursement that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.
The Mergers are subject to a number of conditions which, if not satisfied or waived in a timely manner, would delay the Mergers or adversely impact our ability to complete the transactions.
The completion of the Mergers is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, completion of the Redemption of electing limited partners from the Operating Partnership, receipt of stockholder approval and other customary closing conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement. While it is currently anticipated that the Mergers will be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2015, there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied in a timely manner or at all, or that an effect, event, development or change will not transpire that could delay or prevent these conditions from being satisfied. If the Mergers have not been consummated by December 31, 2015, either the Company or Parent may terminate the Merger Agreement.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The Company has a stock repurchase program, approved by the Board, under which it may repurchase shares of its common stock or UPREIT Units (the Company Program). The shares and units may be repurchased through open market or privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of Company management. The Boards action did not establish a specific target stock price or a specific timetable for share repurchases. At June 30, 2015, the Company had authorization to repurchase 2,291,160 shares of common stock and UPREIT Units under the Company Program. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the Company Program. The last year where the Company repurchased any shares under the program was 2008. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company is prohibited from repurchasing its shares under the Company Program.
Participants in the Companys Stock Benefit Plan can use common stock of the Company that they already own to pay: 1) all or a portion of the exercise price payable to the Company upon the exercise of an option; and 2) the taxes associated with option exercises and the vesting of restricted stock awards. In such event, the common stock used to pay the exercise price or taxes is returned to authorized but unissued status, and for purposes of the table below is deemed to have been repurchased by the Company, but does not represent repurchases under the Company Program.

AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 906 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002
