EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 of American Campus Communities, Inc. and American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P.. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “ACC” mean American Campus Communities, Inc. a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to “ACCOP” mean American Campus Communities Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. The following chart illustrates the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s corporate structure:

The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of March 31, 2012, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties. As of March 31, 2012, ACC owned an approximate 98.7% limited partnership interest in ACCOP. As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and ACC contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, ACC receives a number of units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units,” see definition below) equal to the number of common shares it has issued in the equity offering. Contributions of properties to the Company can be structured as tax-deferred transactions through the issuance of OP Units in the Operating Partnership. Based on the terms of ACCOP’s partnership agreement, OP Units can be exchanged for ACC’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. The Company maintains a one-for-one relationship between the OP Units of the Operating Partnership issued to ACC and ACC Holdings and the common shares issued to the public. The Company believes that combining the reports on Form 10-Q of ACC and ACCOP into this single report provides the following benefits:

●

enhances investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

●

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

●

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

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

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

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

1.	Organization and Description of Business

The general partner of ACCOP is American Campus Communities Holdings, LLC (“ACC Holdings”), an entity that is wholly-owned by ACC. As of March 31, 2012, ACC Holdings held an ownership interest in ACCOP of less than 1%. The limited partners of ACCOP are ACC and other limited partners consisting of current and former members of management and nonaffiliated third parties. As of March 31, 2012, ACC owned an approximate 98.7% limited partnership interest in ACCOP. As the sole member of the general partner of ACCOP, ACC has exclusive control of ACCOP’s day-to-day management. Management operates ACC and ACCOP as one business. The management of ACC consists of the same members as the management of ACCOP. ACC consolidates ACCOP for financial reporting purposes, and ACC does not have significant assets other than its investment in ACCOP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of ACC and ACCOP are the same on their respective financial statements. References to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively ACC, ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACC and/or ACCOP. References to the “Operating Partnership” mean collectively ACCOP and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by ACCOP. Unless otherwise indicated, the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2012, our property portfolio contained 120 properties with approximately 74,900 beds in approximately 23,800 apartment units. Our property portfolio consisted of 103 owned off-campus student housing properties that are in close proximity to colleges and universities, 12 American Campus Equity (“ACE®”) properties operated under ground/facility leases with six university systems, four on-campus participating properties operated under ground/facility leases with the related university systems, and one property containing a retail shopping center which we plan to develop into a mixed-use community including both student housing and retail. Of the 120 properties, 14 were under development as of March 31, 2012, and when completed will consist of a total of approximately 9,100 beds in approximately 2,600 units. Our communities contain modern housing units and are supported by a resident assistant system and other student-oriented programming, with many offering resort-style amenities.

Through ACC’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), we also provide construction management and development services, primarily for student housing properties owned by colleges and universities, charitable foundations, and others. As of March 31, 2012, also through ACC’s TRS entities, we provided third-party management and leasing services for 27 properties that represented approximately 22,900 beds in approximately 9,100 units. Third-party management and leasing services are typically provided pursuant to management contracts that have initial terms that range from one to five years. As of March 31, 2012, our total owned and third-party managed portfolio included 147 properties with approximately 97,800 beds in approximately 32,900 units.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

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

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying interim financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company for these interim periods have been included. Because of the seasonal nature of the Company’s operations, the results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for other interim periods or for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the Operating Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and requires all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 on January 1, 2012, and as a result, the Company presents a single continuous statement of comprehensive income.

Use of Estimates

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

Investments in Real Estate

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

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

Project costs directly associated with the development and construction of an owned real estate project, which include interest, property taxes, and amortization of deferred finance costs, are capitalized as construction in progress. Upon completion of the project, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation commences. Interest totaling approximately $2.5 million and $1.0 million was capitalized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs totaling approximately $0.1 million and $42,000 was capitalized as construction in progress during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Management assesses whether there has been an impairment in the value of the Company’s investments in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated expected future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of expected future net cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an adjustment to the carrying value of the Company’s long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which the conditions change. To the extent that a property is impaired, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is charged to earnings. The Company believes that there were no impairments of the carrying values of its investments in real estate as of March 31, 2012.

The Company allocates the purchase price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets based on relative fair values. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property and other market data. Information obtained about each property as a result of due diligence, marketing and leasing activities is also considered. The value of in-place leases is based on the difference between (i) the property valued with existing in-place leases adjusted to market rental rates and (ii) the property valued “as-if” vacant. As lease terms are typically one year or less, rates on in-place leases generally approximate market rental rates. Factors considered in the valuation of in-place leases include an estimate of the carrying costs during the expected lease-up period considering current market conditions, nature of the tenancy, and costs to execute similar leases. Carrying costs include estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up period, as well as marketing and other operating expenses. The value of in-place leases is amortized over the remaining initial term of the respective leases, generally less than one year. The purchase price of property acquisitions is not expected to be allocated to tenant relationships, considering the terms of the leases and the expected levels of renewals.

Long-Lived Assets–Held for Sale

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Intangible Assets

In connection with property acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2011, the Company capitalized approximately $0.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, related to management’s estimate of the fair value of the in-place leases assumed. These intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining term of the underlying leases. Amortization expense was approximately $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was approximately $7.1 million and $8.0 million, respectively. Intangible assets, net of amortization, are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the amortization of intangible assets is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. See Note 3 herein for a detailed discussion of the property acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue and Costs

Pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits associated with the pursuit of third-party and owned development projects are expensed as incurred, until such time that management believes it is probable that the contract will be executed and/or construction will commence. Because the Company frequently incurs these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained, the Company bears the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or the Company is unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations. As such, management evaluates the status of third-party and owned projects that have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis and expenses any deferred costs related to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is unlikely and/or the costs may not provide future value to the Company in the form of revenues. Such write-offs are included in third-party development and management services expenses (in the case of third-party development projects) or general and administrative expenses (in the case of owned development projects) on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has deferred approximately $12.8 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction. Such costs are included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Earnings per Share –Company

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

The following potentially dilutive securities were outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effects of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

3. Property Acquisitions

In January 2012, we acquired the remaining 90% interest in University Heights, a 204-unit, 636-bed property located near the campus of the University of Tennessee, for a purchase price of $14.5 million. The purchase price excludes approximately $2.3 million of anticipated capital expenditures necessary to bring this property up to the Company’s operating standards. This property was acquired from one of our joint ventures with Fidelity in which we previously held a 10% interest (“Fund II”, see Note 7). Immediately prior to the acquisition, Fund II paid off the property’s mortgage loan at a discounted amount in accordance with a Settlement Agreement negotiated with the lender. As a result, Fund II recorded a gain on debt restructuring of approximately $4.2 million, of which, our 10% share is included in income from unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

In 2011, the Company acquired four properties containing 3,403 beds and a retail center for future development for a combined purchase price of approximately $237.0 million. The Company did not assume any property-level debt as part of these transactions.

Land, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and construction in progress as of March 31, 2012 include $4.8 million, $0.4 million and $8.9 million, respectively, related to the University Edge property located in Kent, Ohio, that will serve students attending Kent State University. In July 2011, the Company entered into a Purchase and Contribution agreement with a private developer whereby the Company is obligated to purchase the property as long as the developer meets certain construction completion deadlines. The development of the property is anticipated to be completed in August 2012. The entity is financed with a $4.5 million mezzanine loan from the Company and a $24.8 million construction loan from a third-party lender. The Company is responsible for leasing, management, and initial operations of the project while the third-party developer is responsible for the development of the property. The entity that owns the University Edge property is deemed to be a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. As such, the assets and liabilities of the entity owning the property are included in the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned a noncontrolling interest in one unconsolidated joint venture that is accounted for utilizing the equity method of accounting. The investment consists of a noncontrolling equity interest in a joint venture with the United States Navy that owns military housing privatization projects located on naval bases in Norfolk and Newport News, Virginia. In 2010, the Company discontinued applying the equity method in regards to its investment in this joint venture as a result of the Company’s share of losses exceeding its investment in the joint venture. Because the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of the investee and is not otherwise committed to provide further financial support to the investee, it therefore suspended recording its share of losses once the investment was reduced to zero. We also earn fees for providing management services to this joint venture, which totaled approximately $0.4 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

As discussed more fully in Note 3, in January 2012 we acquired full ownership interest in University Heights, a property previously owned by Fund II, a joint venture with Fidelity in which we previously held a 10% interest. The acquisition of the property was accounted for as a business combination achieved in stages and as a result, the Company was required to remeasure its equity method investment in University Heights to its acquisition-date fair value and recognize the resulting loss in earnings. The Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million which is included in other nonoperating loss on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As University Heights represented the only property owned by Fund II, subsequent to the acquisition we no longer have an equity method investment Fund II.

8. Debt

(1)

Construction loans payable includes $8.3 million and $4.9 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, related to a construction loan for the University Edge development property, a VIE that the Company is including in its consolidated financial statements (see Note 5). The creditor of this construction loan does not have recourse to the assets of the Company.

Pay off of Mortgage Debt

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company paid off approximately $16.2 million of fixed rate mortgage debt secured by a wholly-owned property (Chapel Ridge) which was scheduled to mature on March 1, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had an additional $62.9 million of outstanding fixed rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature throughout the remainder of 2012, all of which we expect to pay off on or before their respective maturity dates.

Unsecured Credit Facility

In January 2012, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company’s $200 million unsecured term loan was increased in size to $350 million, such that, when combined with the Company’s $450 million unsecured revolving credit facility, the Company has an aggregate Credit Facility of $800 million, which may be expanded by up to an additional $100 million upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Company used the proceeds from the expanded term loan to repay outstanding amounts on the revolving credit facility.

In addition, the maturity date of the term loan was extended from May 20, 2015 to January 10, 2017 and the maturity date of the revolving credit facility was extended to January 10, 2016, and can be extended for an additional 12 months to January 10, 2017, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The First Amendment provides for the interest rate on each loan at a variable rate, at the Company’s option, based upon a base rate or one-, two-, three- or six-month LIBOR, plus, in each case, a spread based upon the Company’s investment grade rating from either Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Rating Group. The Company has entered into multiple interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $350 million that effectively fix the interest rate to 2.54% (0.89% + 1.65% spread) on the outstanding balance of the unsecured term loan (see Note 12 for more details).

Availability under the revolving credit facility is limited to an “aggregate borrowing base amount” equal to 60% of the value of the Company’s unencumbered properties, calculated as set forth in the Credit Facility. Additionally, the Company is required to pay a facility fee of 0.30% per annum on the $450 million revolving credit facility. As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the revolving credit facility totaled $150.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.00% (inclusive of the facility fee discussed above), and availability under the revolving credit facility totaled $300.0 million.

The terms of the Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants, which limit, among other items, the incurrence of additional indebtedness, liens, and the disposition of assets. The facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and also contains financial covenants that, among other things, require the Company to maintain certain minimum ratios of “EBITDA” (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to fixed charges and total indebtedness. The Company may not pay distributions that exceed a specified percentage of funds from operations, as adjusted, for any four consecutive quarters. The financial covenants also include consolidated net worth and leverage ratio tests. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

Secured Agency Facility

The Company has a $125 million secured revolving credit facility with a Freddie Mac lender. The facility has a five-year term and is currently secured by 10 properties referred to as the “Collateral Pool.” The facility bears interest at one- or three-month LIBOR plus a spread that varies based on the debt service ratio of the Collateral Pool. Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee of 1.0% per annum. As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the secured agency facility totaled $116.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.44%. The secured agency facility includes some, but not all, of the same financial covenants as the unsecured credit facility, described above. As of March 31, 2012, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

9. Stockholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital

Stockholders’ Equity – Company

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, ACC sold approximately 1.8 million shares at a weighted average price of $41.61 per share under its 2011 at-the-market share offering program (the “ATM Equity Program”). Net proceeds received under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2012, totaled approximately $73.9 million, after payment of approximately $1.1 million of commissions paid to sales agents. As of March 31, 2012, ACC had approximately $149.7 million available for issuance under its ATM Equity Program.

Partners’ Capital – Operating Partnership

In connection with the activity under ACC’s ATM Equity Program discussed above, ACCOP issued a number of common OP Units to ACC equivalent to the number of shares issued by ACC under the ATM Equity Program.

10. Noncontrolling Interests

Operating Partnership

Partially-owned properties: As of March 31, 2012, the Operating Partnership consolidates four joint ventures that own and operate The Varsity, University Village at Sweet Home, University Centre and Villas at Chestnut Ridge owned-off campus properties. The portion of net assets attributable to the third-party partners in these joint ventures is classified as “noncontrolling interests - partially owned properties” within capital on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. Accordingly, the third-party partners’ share of the income or loss of the joint ventures is reported on the consolidated statements of operations of the Operating Partnership as “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests – partially owned properties.”

OP Units: For the portion of OP Units that the Operating Partnership is required, either by contract or securities law, to deliver registered common shares of ACC to the exchanging OP unit holder, or for which the Operating Partnership has the intent or history of exchanging such units for cash, we classify the units as “redeemable limited partners” in the mezzanine section of the consolidated balance sheets of the Operating Partnership. The units classified as such include Series A preferred units as well as common units that are not held by ACC or ACC Holdings. The value of redeemable limited partners on the consolidated balance sheets is reported at the greater of fair value or historical cost at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the value from period to period are charged to limited partner’s capital on the accompanying consolidated statement of changes in capital. Below is a table summarizing the activity of redeemable limited partners for the three months ended March 31, 2012:

Balance, December 31, 2011	$	42,529
Net income		287
Distributions		(349	)
Adjustments to reflect redeemable limited partner units at fair value		2,860
Balance, March 31, 2012	$	45,327

During the year ended December 31, 2011, 64,601 common OP Units were converted into an equal number of shares of ACC’s common stock and none were converted during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 1.3% and 1.4%, respectively, of the equity interests of the Operating Partnership was held by owners of common OP Units and Series A preferred units not held by ACC or ACC holdings.

Company

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

11. Incentive Award Plan

Restricted Stock Awards (“RSAs”)

A summary of ACC’s RSAs under ACC’s 2010 Incentive Award Plan as of March 31, 2012 and activity during the three months then ended, is presented below:

	Number of RSAs
Nonvested balance at December 31, 2011		549,300
Granted		215,851
Vested		(113,345	)
Forfeited		(61,808	)
Nonvested balance at March 31, 2012		589,998

The fair value of RSA’s is calculated based on the closing market value of ACC’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of these awards is amortized to expense over the vesting periods, which amounted to approximately $1.3 million, and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities

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

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As discussed in Note 8, the Company increased the $200 million unsecured term by $150 million in January 2012. In connection with this transaction, the Company entered into four interest rate swap contracts with notional amounts totaling $350 million to hedge the variable cash flows associated with interest payments on the LIBOR-based unsecured term loan. As of March 31, 2012, the Company also had a $33.2 million interest rate swap contract that was used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with the Cullen Oaks Phase I and Phase II loans.

13. Fair Value Disclosures

The following table presents information about the Company’s financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value. In general, fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments, specifically interest rate swaps, for nontrading purposes. The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk arising from previously unhedged interest payments associated with variable rate debt. Through March 31, 2012, derivative financial instruments were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. Derivative contracts with positive net fair values inclusive of net accrued interest receipts or payments, are recorded in other assets. Derivative contracts with negative net fair values, inclusive of net accrued interest payments or receipts, are recorded in other liabilities. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

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

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

Other Fair Value Disclosures

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

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

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

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

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

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

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

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various development-related purchase commitments with parties that provide development-related goods and services. In the event that the Company was to terminate development services prior to the completion of projects under construction, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding purchase orders with such parties. As of March 31, 2012, management did not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to third-party development projects currently in progress.

The Company has estimated the fair value of guarantees entered into to be immaterial. The Company’s estimated maximum exposure amount under the above guarantees is approximately $13.0 million as of March 31, 2012.

Contingencies

Litigation: In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

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

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

15. Segments

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

Acquisition

As discussed in more detail in Note 3 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, in January 2012, we acquired the remaining 90% interest in University Heights, a property located near the campus of the University of Tennessee, for a purchase price of $14.5 million. This property was acquired from one of our joint ventures with Fidelity in which we previously held a 10% interest (“Fund II”).

Third-Party Development Services

Through ACC’s TRS entities, we provide development and construction management services for student housing properties owned by colleges and universities, charitable foundations and others. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we closed bond financing and commenced construction on a third-party development project located on the College of Staten Island campus in the City University of New York system. This project has total third-party development fees of $2.6 million, with $1.3 million of those fees earned during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we were under contract on a total of five third-party development projects that are currently in progress and whose fees range from $0.5 million to $4.6 million. As of March 31, 2012, fees of approximately $3.6 million remained to be earned by us with respect to these projects, which have scheduled completion dates of August 2012 through August 2013.

ATM Equity Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, ACC sold approximately 1.8 million shares at a weighted average price of $41.61 per share under its 2011 at-the-market share offering program (the “ATM Equity Program”). Net proceeds received under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2012 totaled approximately $73.9 million, after payment of approximately $1.1 million of commissions paid to sales agents.

Same Store and New Property Operations

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

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

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

A reconciliation of our same store and new property operations to our consolidated statements of operations is set forth below:

	Same Store Properties				New Properties (1)				Total –All Properties (1)
	Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,

(1)	Does not include 14 properties currently under construction and scheduled to open for occupancy in 2012 and 2013.

(2)	Includes revenues which are reflected as resident services revenue on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Same Store Properties. The increase in revenue from our same store properties was primarily due to an increase in average rental rates for the 2011/2012 academic year. Average occupancy for our same store portfolio remained relatively constant at 98.5% and 98.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Future revenues will be dependent on our ability to maintain our current leases in effect for the 2011/2012 academic year and our ability to obtain appropriate rental rates and desired occupancy for the 2012/2013 academic year at our various properties during our leasing period, which typically begins in January and ends in August.

The increase in operating expenses for our same store properties was primarily due to general inflationary increases, offset by a decrease in utility costs as a result of the mild winter weather experienced at many properties. We anticipate that operating expenses for our same store property portfolio for the full year ended December 31, 2012 will increase slightly as compared with 2011 as a result of general inflation.

New Property Operations. Our new properties consist of the following: (i) Campus Trails, a property that experienced significant property damage in April 2010 as a result of a fire in which 72 beds were destroyed and reopened for occupancy in August 2011; (ii) four owned development projects that opened for occupancy in August 2011; (iii) University Shoppes - Orlando, acquired in July 2011; (iv) Eagles Trail, acquired in September 2011, (v) Studio Green, acquired in November 2011; (vi) 26 West and The Varsity, both acquired in December 2011, and (vii) University Heights, acquired from Fund II in January 2012. These new properties contributed an additional $11.5 million of revenues and an additional $5.5 million of operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

On-Campus Participating Properties (“OCPP”) Operations

We had four participating properties containing 4,519 beds which were operating during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Revenues from our participating properties increased to $8.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $0.3 million. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in average rental rates during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as an increase in average occupancy from 96.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to 97.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

At these properties, operating expenses increased from $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $0.8 million. This increase was primarily due to a utility refund of approximately $0.7 million received at one of the properties in 2011. We anticipate that operating expenses in 2012 will increase slightly as compared with 2011 as a result of general inflation.

Third-Party Development Services Revenue

Third-party development services revenue decreased by approximately $1.7 million, from $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease was due to the closing of bond financing and commencement of construction for the Illinois State and Northern Illinois University projects during the three months ended March 31, 2011, which contributed an additional $3.4 million of revenue during that period. This decrease was offset by the closing of bond financing for the College of Staten Island project during the three months ended March 31, 2012, resulting in $1.3 million of revenue recognized in the current year. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had five projects in progress with an average contractual fee of approximately $2.3 million, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 in which we had four projects in progress with an average contractual fee of approximately $3.0 million. Closing of additional third-party development projects during 2012 will be dependent upon our University clients obtaining project financing, as well as final determination of feasibility and execution and closing of definitive agreements.

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

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.7 million, from $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily a result of additional salary and benefits expense, public company costs and other general inflationary factors during the three months ended March 31, 2012. We anticipate general and administrative expenses to increase in 2012 as a result of increased salary and benefits expense, including restricted stock award amortization, increased public company expenses, anticipated increases in travel related expenditures and general inflationary increases.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by approximately $3.2 million, from $21.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $24.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was primarily due to additional depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2.8 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 related to our acquisition of five properties during 2011 and one property during 2012, and the completion of construction and opening of four owned development properties in August 2011, which contributed an additional $1.1 million of depreciation expense. These increases were offset by a decrease in the amortization of in-place leases of $0.9 million related to 14 properties purchased from joint ventures with Fidelity in 2010. The value assigned to in-place leases upon acquisition of the properties was fully amortized by the end of 2011. We expect depreciation and amortization expense to increase significantly in 2012 as a result of properties acquired during 2011 and 2012, the completion of four owned development projects in August 2011 and the anticipated completion of 11 owned development projects scheduled to open for occupancy in Fall 2012.

Ground/Facility Leases

Ground/facility leases expense decreased by approximately $0.2 million, from $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily due to a utility refund received in 2011 at one of our on-campus participating properties, which increased the University’s share of the cash flow available for distribution during the prior year. We anticipate ground/facility leases expense to increase in 2012 as a result of the completion of construction and commencement of operations of two ACE development projects in August 2011 and the anticipated completion of six ACE development projects scheduled to open for occupancy in Fall 2012.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by approximately $0.4 million, from $0.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase was due to interest earned on a loan made to the noncontrolling partner in a joint venture that owns The Varsity, a property purchased in December 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.7 million, from $14.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. We experienced a decrease in interest expense of $1.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year as a result of mortgage and construction loans paid off during 2011 and 2012. In addition, interest expense decreased as a result of an increase in capitalized interest of $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year due to the timing and volume of construction activities on our owned development projects during the respective periods. These decreases were offset by $2.4 million of additional interest expense on our corporate-level debt related to the additional $150 million we borrowed under our unsecured term loan, as well as increased borrowings under our revolving credit facility. See Note 8 contained in Item 8 herein for a more detailed discussion of the amendment to our unsecured term loan and revolving credit facility executed in January 2012.

We expect interest expense to increase in 2012 as a result of the timing of increased borrowings under our unsecured term loan and an anticipated unsecured bond offering in 2012, which will be slightly offset by reduced interest expense due to the payoff of mortgage debt in 2011 and mortgage debt scheduled to mature in 2012, as well as increased capitalized interest associated with our increased owned development activity.

Amortization of Deferred Financing Costs

Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased approximately $0.2 million, from $1.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. This decrease was primarily a result of mortgage debt paid off during 2011 and 2012. We expect amortization of deferred financing costs in 2012 to decrease as a result of mortgage debt paid off in 2011 and 2012.

We reported income from unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to loss from unconsolidated joint ventures of $12,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. This increase was due to our share of a gain on debt restructuring recorded by Fund II during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Immediately prior to our acquisition of University Heights from Fund II in January 2012, Fund II negotiated a Settlement Agreement with the lender of the property’s mortgage loan whereby the lender agreed to accept a discounted amount that was less than the original principal amount of the loan as payment in full. Accordingly, Fund II recorded a gain on debt restructuring of $4.2 million, of which our 10% share was $0.4 million.

Other Nonoperating Loss

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Balances and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2012, excluding our on-campus participating properties, we had $39.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as compared to $37.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of December 31, 2011. Restricted cash primarily consists of escrow accounts held by lenders and resident security deposits, as required by law in certain states. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 8 herein.

Operating Activities: For the three months ended March 31, 2012, net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $49.6 million, as compared to $27.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $22.0 million. This increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to operating cash flows provided from the timing of the acquisition of five properties in 2011 and one property in January 2012, the completion of construction and opening of four owned development projects in August 2011, and improved operations at our same store wholly-owned properties.

Investing Activities: Investing activities utilized approximately $123.2 million and $40.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $82.5 million increase in cash utilized in investing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $58.8 million increase in cash used to fund the construction of our wholly-owned development properties, as 14 wholly-owned properties were under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to four wholly-owned properties that were under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2011; and (ii) a $21.6 million increase in cash paid to acquire property and undeveloped land.

Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $83.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to $68.5 million used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The $152.3 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily a result of the following: (i) a $62.6 million increase in net proceeds raised through the issuance of common stock; (ii) a $38.3 million decrease in cash used to pay off maturing mortgage debt; (iii) a $31.2 million increase in proceeds from construction loans used to partially fund the construction of three wholly-owned development properties, scheduled to open for occupancy in August and September 2012; and (iv) a $27.0 million increase in proceeds (net of paydowns) received from our unsecured credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2012, which was used toward the acquisition of a property, an undeveloped land parcel and the pay off of a mortgage loan. These increases were offset by (i) a $2.6 million increase in distributions to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as a result of the issuance of common stock in connection with our ATM Equity Programs; and (ii) $3.2 million in debt issuance costs paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to amend our unsecured credit facility.

Liquidity Needs, Sources and Uses of Capital

As of March 31, 2012, our short-term liquidity needs included, but were not limited to, the following: (i) anticipated distribution payments to our common and restricted stockholders totaling approximately $101.6 million based on an assumed annual cash distribution of $1.35 per share based on the number of our shares outstanding as of March 31, 2012, (ii) anticipated distribution payments to our Operating Partnership unitholders totaling approximately $1.4 million based on an assumed annual distribution of $1.35 per common unit and a cumulative preferential per annum cash distribution rate of 5.99% on our Series A preferred units based on the number of units outstanding as of March 31, 2012, (iii) the pay-off of approximately $65.9 million of fixed-rate mortgage debt scheduled to mature during the next 12 months, (iv) estimated development costs over the next 12 months totaling approximately $285.8 million for 14 wholly-owned properties currently under construction, (v) funds for other development projects scheduled to commence construction during the next 12 months, and (vi) potential future property acquisitions.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements by (i) borrowing under our existing credit facilities and construction loans discussed below, (ii) potentially disposing of properties depending on market conditions, (iii) issuing securities, including common stock, under our $300 million at-the-market (“ATM”) share offering program, and (iv) utilizing net cash provided by operations. In addition, during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company was assigned a “Baa3” issuer rating by Moody’s Investors Service and a “BBB-” corporate credit rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. Both ratings are considered “investment grade” and indicated a stable outlook for the Company. These ratings potentially provide us with access to the unsecured bond market, an additional avenue that can be used to fund our liquidity needs.

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

ATM Equity Programs

As discussed in more detail in Note 9 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, during the three months ended March 31, 2012, we utilized our ATM share offering program to sell shares of our common stock into the existing trading market at current market prices. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $149.7 million available for issuance under our 2011 ATM Equity Program.

Unsecured Credit Facility

As discussed in more detail in Note 8 and Note 12 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, in January 2012, we entered into a First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “First Amendment”). Pursuant to the First Amendment, our $200 million unsecured term loan was increased in size to $350 million, maturity dates were extended on both our term loan and revolving credit facility, and interest rate spreads were lowered to reflect current market terms. In January 2012, we also entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $350 million that effectively fix our interest rate to 2.54% (0.89% + 1.65% spread) on the outstanding balance of our unsecured term loan.

As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on our revolving credit facility totaled $150.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.00%, and availability under the revolving credit facility totaled $300.0 million. The terms of the combined Credit Facility include certain restrictions and covenants, as discussed more fully in Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, including covenants that restrict the amount of distributions that we can pay. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Secured Agency Facility

As discussed in more detail in Note 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, we also have a $125 million secured revolving credit facility with a Freddie Mac lender. As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the facility totaled $116.0 million, bearing interest at a weighted average annual rate of 2.44%. The secured agency facility includes some, but not all, of the same financial covenants as the Credit Facility, as described above. As of March 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Distributions

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

On May 2, 2012, we declared a first quarter 2012 distribution per share of $0.3375, which will be paid on May 29, 2012 to all common stockholders of record as of May 15, 2012. At the same time, the Operating Partnership will pay an equivalent amount per unit to holders of common units, as well as the quarterly cumulative preferential distribution to holders of Series A preferred units.

Pre-Development Expenditures

Our third-party and owned development activities have historically required us to fund pre-development expenditures such as architectural fees, permits and deposits. The closing and/or commencement of construction of these development projects is subject to a number of risks such as our inability to obtain financing on favorable terms and delays or refusals in obtaining necessary zoning, land use, building, and other required governmental permits and authorizations As such, we cannot always predict accurately the liquidity needs of these activities. We frequently incur these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations have been obtained. Accordingly, we bear the risk of the loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on acceptable terms or we are unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations. Historically, our third-party and owned development projects have been successfully structured and financed; however, these developments have at times been delayed beyond the period initially scheduled, causing revenue to be recognized in later periods. As of March 31, 2012, we have deferred approximately $12.8 million in pre-development costs related to third-party and owned development projects that have not yet commenced construction.

Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $1,482.3 million of outstanding consolidated indebtedness (excluding net unamortized debt discounts and debt premiums of approximately $4.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively), comprised of a $350.0 million balance on our unsecured term loan, $116.0 million balance on our secured agency facility, $150.0 million balance on our unsecured revolving credit facility, $787.1 million in mortgage and construction loans secured by our wholly-owned properties, $32.0 million in mortgage loans secured by two phases of an on-campus participating property and $47.2 million in bond issuances secured by three of our on-campus participating properties. The weighted average interest rate on our consolidated indebtedness as of March 31, 2012 was 4.23% per annum. As of March 31, 2012, approximately 22.0% of our total consolidated indebtedness was variable rate debt, comprised of our secured agency facility, unsecured revolving credit facility and three construction loans discussed below.

Wholly-Owned Properties

Mortgage debt: The weighted average interest rate of the $726.5 million of wholly-owned mortgage debt was 5.59% per annum as of March 31, 2012. Each of the mortgage loans is a non-recourse obligation subject to customary exceptions. Each of these mortgages has a 30-year amortization, and none are cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized to any other indebtedness. The loans generally may not be prepaid prior to maturity; in certain cases prepayment is allowed, subject to prepayment penalties.

Construction loans: The development and construction of two on-campus ACE properties (The Suites and Hilltop Townhomes), which are scheduled to complete construction and open for occupancy in August 2012, are partially financed on a combined basis with a $45.4 million construction loan. For each borrowing we have the option of choosing the Prime rate or one-, two-, three-, or six-month LIBOR plus 2.35%. The loan requires payments of interest only during the term of the loan and any accrued interest and outstanding borrowings become due on the maturity date of May 16, 2014. The term of loan can be extended through May 2016 through the exercise of two 12-month extension options. As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the construction loan totaled $17.3 million, bearing interest at a weighted average rate per annum of 2.59%. In addition, the development and construction of University Pointe at College Station, an on-campus ACE property scheduled to complete construction and open for occupancy in September 2012, is partially financed with a $57.5 million construction loan. For each borrowing we have the option of choosing the Prime rate or one-, two-, three-, or six-month LIBOR plus 2.65%. The loan requires payments of interest only during the term of the loan and any accrued interest and outstanding borrowings become due on the maturity date of December 2, 2013. The term of loan can be extended through December 2017 through the exercise of two 24-month extension options. As of March 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the construction loan totaled $34.9 million, bearing interest at a weighted average rate per annum of 2.89%.

In addition, as discussed in more detail in Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, we are consolidating a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that owns the University Edge property located in Kent, Ohio. As a result, our construction loan payable balance includes $8.3 million related to the construction loan that is financing the development and construction of this property, which is anticipated to be complete in August 2012. The total amount of the construction loan is $24.8 million, bearing interest at 3.0% per annum as of March 31, 2012. The loan matures on January 29, 2014. As the Company is not legally a party to this loan, and is only including the loan in its consolidated financial statements to comply with accounting guidance related to VIE’s, the creditor of this construction loan does not have recourse to the assets of the Company.

On-Campus Participating Properties

Bonds: As discussed in Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8 herein, three of our on-campus participating properties are 100% financed with project-based taxable bonds. As of March 31, 2012, the bonds carry a balance of $47.2 million and bear interest at a weighted average rate per annum of 7.53%. The loans encumbering the leasehold interests are non-recourse, subject to customary exceptions.

Mortgage loans: The Cullen Oaks Phase I and Phase II on-campus participating properties are currently encumbered by mortgage loans with balances as of March 31, 2012 of approximately $15.9 million and $16.1 million, respectively. The loans mature in February 2014 and bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35%. In connection with these loans, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement effective February 15, 2007 through February 15, 2014, that is designated to hedge our exposure to fluctuations on interest payments attributed to changes in interest rates associated with payments on the loans. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed rate of 6.69% per annum and receive a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.35%. We have guaranteed payment of this property’s indebtedness.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

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

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

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

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

	Three Months Ended March 31,

(1)	The adjustment to FFO for noncontrolling interests’ share of net income excludes $0.4 million of income attributable to the noncontrolling partner in The Varsity, a property purchased in December 2011 from a seller that retained a 20.5% noncontrolling interest in the property.

(2)

Represents our share of the FFO from two joint ventures in which we are or were a noncontrolling partner. Includes the Hampton Roads Military Housing joint venture in which we have a minimal economic interest as well as our 10% noncontrolling interest in Fund II. In January 2012, we purchased the full ownership interest in the one remaining property owned by Fund II (University Heights). Subsequent to the acquisition, the property is now wholly-owned and is consolidated by us.

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

(4)

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

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

Inflation

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and unitholders, and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates. Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our revolving credit facilities and variable rate construction loans and our ability to incur more debt without stockholder approval, thereby increasing our debt service obligations, which could adversely affect our cash flows. No material changes have occurred in relation to market risk since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
