1.
Organization and Description of Business
Campus Crest Communities,
Inc., together with its subsidiaries, referred to herein as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,”
and “Campus Crest,” is a self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused
on owning and managing a high-quality student housing portfolio located close to college campuses. We currently own the sole general
partner interest and own limited partner interests in Campus Crest Communities Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating
Partnership”). We hold substantially all of our assets, and conduct substantially all of our business, through the Operating
Partnership.
We have made an election
to qualify, and we believe we are operating so as to qualify, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal
income tax to the extent that we meet the organizational and operational requirements and our distributions equal or exceed 90.0%
of REIT taxable income. For all periods subsequent to the REIT election, we have met the organizational and operational requirements
and distributions have exceeded net taxable income.
We have made the election
to treat Campus Crest TRS Holdings, Inc. ("TRS Holdings"), our wholly-owned subsidiary, as a taxable REIT subsidiary
(“TRS”). TRS Holdings holds the development, construction and management companies (See Note 4 regarding the discontinuation
of operations of our development and construction services companies) that provide services to entities in which we do not own
100% of the equity interests. As a TRS, the operations of TRS Holdings and its subsidiaries are generally subject to federal, state
and local income and franchise taxes.
As of September 30,
2014, we had ownership interests in 47 operating student housing Grove properties containing approximately 26,000 beds. Thirty-six
of our Grove properties are wholly-owned and eleven of our Grove properties are owned through joint ventures with Harrison Street
Real Estate Capital ("HSRE") or with HSRE and Brandywine Realty Trust ("Brandywine"). As of September 30, 2014,
we also owned interests in 36 (35 unconsolidated and 1 consolidated (Copper Beech at Ames)) operating student housing Copper Beech
properties (“CB Portfolio”) containing approximately 17,000 beds, interests in three operating student housing evo
properties containing approximately 3,000 beds, and one wholly-owned re-development property containing approximately 335 beds.
Our portfolio consists of the following:

2. Summary of Significant
Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S.
GAAP”), as well as instructions to Form 10-Q, and represent our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Third party equity interests in the Operating Partnership and a consolidated variable interest entity, Copper Beech at Ames, LLC,
are reflected as noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We also have interests in unconsolidated
real estate ventures which have ownership in several property owning entities that are accounted for under the equity method. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements
and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December
31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations and cash flows for any interim period are
not necessarily indicative of results for other interim periods or the full year.

Reclassifications
During the three months
ended September 30, 2014, we reclassified our development and construction services companies as discontinued operations due to
strategic repositioning initiatives (see Note 4). Accordingly, we have reclassified the results of these operations to “Income
(loss) from discontinued operations” in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss)
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The development and construction services companies were included
within the development, construction and management services segment.
In December
2013, we sold four wholly-owned properties: The Grove at Jacksonville, Alabama, The Grove at Jonesboro, Arkansas, The Grove
at Wichita, Kansas, and The Grove at Wichita Falls, Texas. These four properties were included within the student housing
operations segment. Prior period amounts related to the December 2013 asset dispositions also have been reclassified as
discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of
condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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. Significant assumptions and
estimates are used by management in recognizing construction and development revenue under the percentage of completion method,
useful lives of student housing properties, valuation of investment in real estate, valuation allowance on deferred tax assets,
initial valuation and underlying allocation of purchase price to newly acquired student housing properties, and the interest in
properties acquired in connection with not exercising the Copper Beech purchase option, determination of fair value for impairment
assessments, and fair value of financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, fair value of the debt and equity components
of the exchangeable notes at the date of issuance and allowance for doubtful accounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates
and such differences may be material to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed
periodically and the effect of such revisions are reflected prospectively in the period in which they occur.
Investments in Real Estate and Depreciation
Investment in real
estate is recorded at historical cost. Major improvements that extend the life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated over
a period equal to the shorter of the life of the improvement or 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:
Land improvements |
15 years |
|
Buildings and leasehold improvements |
10-40 years |
|
Furniture, fixtures and equipment |
2-15 years |
|
The cost of buildings
and improvements includes all pre-development, entitlement and project costs directly associated with the development and construction
of a real estate project, which include interest, property taxes and the amortization of deferred financing costs recognized while
the project is under construction, as well as certain internal costs related to the development and construction of our student
housing properties. All costs are capitalized as development in process until the asset is ready for its intended use, which is
typically at the completion of the project. Upon completion, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation
commences. Interest totaling approximately $1.9 million and $6.2 million was capitalized during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2014, respectively, and interest totaling approximately $0.8 million and $2.3 million was capitalized during the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.
We capitalize costs
during the development of assets beginning with the determination that development of a future asset is probable until the asset,
or a portion of the asset, is delivered and is ready for its intended use. During development efforts we capitalize all direct
costs and indirect costs that have been incurred as a result of the development. These costs include interest, related loan fees
and property taxes as well as other direct and indirect costs. We capitalize interest costs for debt incurred for project specific
financing and for capital contributions to equity method investees who utilize such funds for construction-related activities.
Indirect project costs, which include personnel and office and administrative costs that are clearly associated with our development
and redevelopment efforts, are capitalized. Indirect costs not clearly related to acquisition, development, redevelopment and construction
activity, including general and administrative expenses, are expensed in the period incurred. Capitalized indirect costs associated
with our development activities were $3.9 million and $10.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively,
and $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. The Company developed 10
properties in 2014, versus 6 in 2013, leading to significantly higher capitalized indirect costs in 2014. All such costs are capitalized
as development in process until the asset is delivered and ready for its intended use, which is typically at the completion of
the project. Upon completion, costs are transferred into the applicable asset category and depreciation commences.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Pre-development costs
are capitalized when they are directly identifiable with the specific property and would be capitalized if the property were already
acquired and acquisition of the property or an option to acquire the property is probable. Capitalized pre-development costs are
expensed when management believes it is no longer probable that a contract will be executed and/or construction will commence.
Because we frequently incur these pre-development expenditures before a financing commitment and/or required permits and authorizations
have been obtained, we bear the risk of loss of these pre-development expenditures if financing cannot ultimately be arranged on
acceptable terms or if we are unable to successfully obtain the required permits and authorizations. As such, management evaluates
the status of projects where we have not yet acquired the target property or where we have not yet commenced construction on a
periodic basis and expenses any pre-development costs related to projects whose current status indicates the acquisition or commencement
of construction is not probable. Such write-offs are included within impairment of land and pre-development costs in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). As of September 30, 2014, we had no pre-development
costs related to development projects for which construction has not commenced and, as of December 31, 2013, we had deferred approximately
$10.5 million in pre-development costs related to development projects for which construction had not commenced (see Note 4 regarding
our strategic repositioning initiatives). As of September 30, 2014, we owned four strategically held land parcels that could be
used for the development of four phase two properties with an aggregate bed count ranging from approximately 1,000 to 1,500, and
twelve land parcels which we intend to divest. The costs associated with these land parcels are included in development in process
on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Management assesses
whether there has been impairment in the value of our investment in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of investment in real estate is measured by a comparison
of the carrying amount of a student housing property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by
the property over the expected hold period. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows, including proceeds
from disposition, are less than the carrying value of the property. The estimation of future undiscounted cash flows is inherently
uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding current and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions change, then
an adjustment reducing the carrying value of our long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which 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 recorded
as an impairment charge. Fair value is determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the property, quoted market prices or
independent appraisals, as considered necessary.
Property Acquisitions
We allocate the purchase
price of acquired properties to net tangible and identified intangible assets and liabilities based on relative fair values of
these assets and liabilities. Fair value estimates are based on information obtained from independent appraisals, market data,
information obtained during due diligence and information related to the marketing and leasing at the specific property. 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, net
of variable operating expenses. The value of in-place leases is amortized on a straight-line basis 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. Acquisition-related costs such
as due diligence, legal, accounting and advisory fees are either expensed as incurred for acquisitions that are consolidated or
capitalized for acquisitions accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Ground Leases
Ground lease expense
is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted
Cash
We consider all highly
liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted cash is excluded from cash
for the purpose of preparing the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. We maintain cash balances in various
banks. At times our balances may exceed the amount insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). We
do not believe this presents significant exposure for our business.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Restricted cash includes
escrow accounts held by lenders for the purpose of paying taxes, insurance and funding capital improvements. In certain instances,
restricted cash consists of funds, required by a counter-party to our derivative contracts to serve as collateral for future settlements
of those derivative contracts. At December 31, 2013, we held approximately $28.2 million with a qualified intermediary to facilitate
a tax deferred Section 1031 like-kind exchange in conjunction with the disposition of four properties, and at September 30, 2014,
we no longer had funds held in escrow for these dispositions. Our funds in escrow are typically held in interest bearing accounts
covered under FDIC insurance subject to applicable limits.
Deferred Financing Costs
We defer costs incurred
in obtaining financing and amortize the costs using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method,
over the expected terms of the related loans. Upon repayment of the underlying debt agreement, any unamortized costs are charged
to earnings. Deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, are included in other assets, net in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling
interests represent the portion of equity in our consolidated subsidiaries which is not attributable to the Campus
Crest Communities, Inc.’s stockholders. Accordingly, noncontrolling interests are reported as a component of equity,
separate from stockholders’ equity, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. On the condensed
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), operating results are reported at their consolidated
amounts, including both the amount attributable to Campus Crest Communities, Inc.’s stockholders and to noncontrolling
interests.
Real Estate Ventures
We hold interests
in our properties, both under development and in operation, through interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate
ventures. We assess our investments in real estate ventures to determine if a venture is a variable interest entity (“VIE”).
Generally, an entity is determined to be a VIE when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential
characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s
activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate
to their economic interests and substantially all of the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor
that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. We consolidate entities that are VIEs for which we are determined to be the primary
beneficiary. In instances where we are not the primary beneficiary, we do not consolidate the entity for financial reporting purposes.
The primary beneficiary is the entity that has both (1) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s
economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially
be significant to the VIE. Entities that are not defined as VIEs are consolidated where we are the general partner (or the equivalent)
and the limited partners (or the equivalent) in such investments do not have rights which would preclude control.
For entities
where we are the general partner (or the equivalent), but do not control the real estate venture, as the other partners (or the
equivalent) hold substantive participating rights, we use the equity method of accounting. For entities where we are a limited
partner (or the equivalent), management considers factors such as ownership interest, voting control, authority to make decisions
and contractual and substantive participating rights of the partners (or the equivalent) to determine if the presumption that the
general partner controls the entity is overcome. In instances where these factors indicate we control the entity, we consolidate
the entity; otherwise we account for our investments using the equity method of accounting.
Under
the equity method, investments are initially recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at cost and are
subsequently adjusted to reflect our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the entity, distributions received,
contributions, other than temporary impairments and certain other adjustments, as appropriate. Any difference between the
carrying amount of these investments on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and the underlying equity in net assets is
amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. When circumstances indicate there may have been
a loss in value of an equity method investment below its carrying value, and we determine the loss in value is other than
temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the investment at fair value (see Note 4 regarding our
strategic repositioning initiatives).
Segments
We define business
segments by their distinct customer base and services provided. We have identified two reportable business segments: (i) student
housing operations and (ii) property management services (development and construction services have been presented as discontinued
operations for the periods presented, see Note 4). We evaluate the performance of our operating segments based on operating income
(loss). All inter-segment sales pricing is based on current market conditions. Unallocated corporate amounts include general expenses
associated with managing our two reportable operating segments.
Student Housing Revenue
Students are required
to execute lease contracts with payment schedules that vary from annual to monthly payments. We recognize revenues on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease contracts. Generally, each executed contract is required to be accompanied by a signed parental
guaranty. Amounts received in advance of the occupancy period or prior to the contractual due date are recorded as deferred revenues
and included in other liabilities on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

Property Management
Services
Management fees
are recognized when earned in accordance with each management contract. Incentive management fees are recognized when the incentive
criteria are met.
Development and Construction Services
(Presented in Discontinued Operations)
Development and construction
service revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, as determined by construction costs incurred relative
to total estimated construction costs. For the purpose of applying this method, significant estimates are necessary to determine
the percentage of completion as of the balance sheet date. This method is used because management considers total cost to be the
best measure of progress toward completion of the contract. Any changes in significant judgments and/or estimates used in determining
construction and development revenue could significantly change the timing or amount of construction and development revenue recognized.
Development
and construction service revenue is recognized for contracts with entities we do not consolidate. For projects where revenue is
based on a fixed price, any cost overruns incurred during construction, as compared to the original budget, will reduce the net
profit ultimately recognized on those projects. Profit derived from these projects is eliminated to the extent of our interest
in the unconsolidated entity. Any incentive fees, net of the impact of our ownership interest if the entity is unconsolidated,
are recognized when the project is complete and performance has been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been verified
by an independent third party. When total development or construction costs at completion exceed the fixed price set forth within
the related contract, such cost overruns are recorded as additional investment in the unconsolidated entity. Entitlement fees and
arrangement fees, where applicable, are recognized when earned based on the terms of the related contracts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowances for student
receivables are maintained to reduce our receivables to the amount that management estimates to be collectible, which approximates
fair value. The allowance is estimated based on past due balances not received on contractual terms, as well as historical collections
experience and current economic and business conditions. When management has determined that receivables are uncollectible, they
are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. Recoveries of accounts previously written off are recorded when received.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities
We enter into interest
rate cap and interest rate swap agreements to manage floating interest rate exposure with respect to amounts borrowed, or forecasted
to be borrowed, under credit facilities. These contracts effectively exchange existing or forecasted obligations to pay interest
based on floating rates for obligations to pay interest based on fixed rates.
All derivative
instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair
values. Changes in fair value are recognized either in earnings or as other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether the
derivative has been designated as a cash flow hedge and whether it qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, the nature of the
exposure being hedged and how effective the derivative is at offsetting movements in underlying exposure. We discontinue hedge
accounting when: (i) we determine that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of a hedged
item; (ii) the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; (iii) it is no longer probable that the forecasted transaction
will occur; or (iv) management determines that designating the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate. In
situations in which hedge accounting is not initially designated, or is discontinued and a derivative remains outstanding, gains
and losses related to changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in current period earnings as a component
of other income (loss) line item on the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Also included within this line item are any required monthly settlements on the swaps as well as any cash settlements paid.
Income Taxes
We have made an election
to qualify, and believe we are operating so as to qualify, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results,
various complex requirements under the Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income,
the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the diversity of ownership of our stock. We believe that
we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code and
that our intended manner of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.
As a REIT, we
generally will not be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we will be subject
to U.S. federal income tax at regular corporate rates and generally will be precluded from qualifying as a REIT for the subsequent
four taxable years following the year during which we lost our REIT qualification. Accordingly, our failure to qualify as a REIT
could materially and adversely affect us, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders in the future.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.

We have made the election
to treat TRS Holdings, our subsidiary which holds our management companies (as well as the development and construction companies
included within discontinued operations) that provide services to entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity interests,
as a TRS. As a TRS, the operations of TRS Holdings and its subsidiaries are generally subject to federal, state and local income
and franchise taxes. Our TRS accounts for its income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which includes an estimate of the amount
of taxes payable or refundable for the current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of
events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRS entities
are recognized based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to reverse.
We follow a
two-step approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when we conclude that a tax position, based
solely on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be sustained upon examination.
Measurement (step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon settlement. Derecognition
of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when we subsequently determined that a tax position no longer met
the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute for derecognition of tax
positions is prohibited.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income
(loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), which consists of unrealized gains (losses) on derivative
instruments and foreign currency translation adjustments. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is displayed
as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
We grant restricted
stock and restricted Operating Partnership ("OP Unit”) awards that typically vest over either a three or five year period.
A restricted stock or OP Unit award is an award of shares of our common stock or OP Units that are subject to restrictions on transferability
and other restrictions determined by our compensation committee at the date of grant. A grant date is established for a restricted
stock award or restricted OP Unit award upon approval from our compensation committee and Board of Directors. The restrictions
may lapse over a specified period of employment or the satisfaction of pre-established criteria as our compensation committee may
determine. Except to the extent restricted under the award agreement, a participant awarded restricted stock or OP Units has all
the rights of a stockholder or OP Unit holder as to these shares or units, including the right to vote and the right to receive
dividends or distributions on the shares or units. The fair value of the award is determined based on the market value of our common
stock on the grant date and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable vesting period for the entire award with
cost recognized at the end of any period being at least equal to the shares that were then vested.
Foreign Currency
Transactions denominated
in foreign currencies are recorded in local currency at actual exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet dates are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at those
dates. Any gains or losses arising on monetary assets and liabilities from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of
the transaction have been included in discontinued operations, if resulting from operations within our development or construction
service company, or other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss). As of September 30, 2014, we had foreign currency exposure to the Canadian dollar. The aggregate transaction gains
and losses included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were not significant.
The financial
statements of certain equity method investees and certain foreign subsidiaries are translated from their respective
functional currencies into U.S. dollars using current and historical exchange rates. Translation adjustments resulting from
this process are reported separately and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
stockholders' equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Upon sale or liquidation of our investments,
the translation adjustment would be reported as part of the gain or loss on sale or liquidation. During the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a foreign currency translation loss of approximately $(1.6) million and $(1.4)
million, respectively, related to our investment in Campus Crest Student Housing Montreal, LP ("CSH Montreal LP”).
Foreign currency translation loss is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheets and in comprehensive income the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss).

income (loss). For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized approximately $0.1 million and $1.2 million,
respectively, of business interruption recovery.
Variable Interest Entity
During the
year ended December 31, 2013, the Company entered into a variable interest entity ("VIE") with Copper Beech
Townhome Communities, LLC ("CBTC") to develop, construct and manage a student housing property in Ames, Iowa. Using
guidance found in ASC 810-10-50, the Company concluded that they are the primary beneficiary of the VIE and therefore
have consolidated and included the results of operations of the VIE in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Company also included the carrying amount of the VIE's assets and liabilities
in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded $0.6 million and $0.2 million in revenues and
expenses, respectively, related to the VIE for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company recorded $27.7
million in assets and $22.9 million in liabilities and $4.8 million of noncontroling interests on the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB
issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. This ASU requires an entity to recognize the amount
of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU will replace
most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company
on January 1, 2017. Early application is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative
effect transition method. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on our consolidated financial statements and
related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing
financial reporting.

Strategic Repositioning Initiatives
The Company has begun
to implement a strategic repositioning of the Company which includes, among other things:
| (1) | Simplifying the business model by discontinuing all construction and development and focusing on
organic growth; |
| (2) | Reducing the number of joint ventures through planned dispositions of certain assets within its
joint ventures to simplify asset ownership structure and reduce exposure to off-balance sheet obligations; |
| (3) | Exploring strategic options for the Company's investment in CSH Montreal LP; |
| (4) | Disposing of land which was previously held for future development (held in development in process
as of September 30, 2014); |
| (5) | Identifying costs savings at the Company's properties and at the corporate office; and |
| (6) | Changing certain management. |
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, discontinued
operations related to construction and development generated $4.6 million in revenues, offset by $7.2 million in operating expenses,
no depreciation, and $2.9 million in severance for a net loss of $5.5 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, construction and
development revenues were $22.2 million, offset by $22.5 million in operating expenses, no depreciation and $2.9 million in severance
for a net loss of $3.2 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, construction and development revenues were $17.0
million offset by $15.5 million of operating expenses and $0.5 million depreciation for the net income of $1.0 million. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2014, construction and development generated revenue of $47.2 million offset by $42.4 million operating
expenses and $2.1 million of depreciation for a net income of $2.7 million.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment of $50.9 million in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for certain of our unconsolidated entities, including $28.3 million related
to HSRE I, HSRE V, HSRE VI and HSRE X (the “HSRE Investments”) and $22.6 million related to our investment in
CSH Montreal LP. Factors giving rise to the strategic repositioning, including results below our expectations in
original underwriting transactions and our communication from venture partner during the quarter ended September 30, 2014
about their desire to dispose of certain properties in the HSRE Investments in the near term, resulted in our determination
that an other than temporary impairment existed. After the impairments were recorded, our carrying value of our HSRE
Investments and investment in CSH Montreal LP were $12.8 million and $16.6 million, respectively. We engaged third-party
specialists to assist us with our valuation of certain of the underlying properties in the HSRE Investments. An income
approach was used to determine the fair value of our HSRE Investments. Inputs and assumptions included in the determination
of fair value included our expectation of projected net operating income to be earned and capital expenditures to be incurred
at the underlying properties and capitalization rates ranging between 6% and 8%. The capitalization rates were determined
based on the marketability of each of the properties and the extent to which the operations of the property has stabilized.
For our investment in CSH Montreal LP, we used a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the
Company’s investment. The discounted cash flows take into consideration current occupancy levels with growing occupancies and
revenue per available bed up to 95% and $1,050, respectively, over a five year period, an expected exit value based on a 7%
capitalization rate, and a 9% discount rate. The discount rate includes our belief that the properties have not stabilized
yet, given the occupancy levels of the properties owned by CSH Montreal LP during its first year of operations. These
valuation techniques involve Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, and we believe that the highest and best use of
these properties continues to be for student housing.
In
connection with exiting the construction and development businesses, during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we recorded impairment
for land and pre-development costs of $29.8 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income
(loss), based on their estimated fair values. The fair values were obtained from third-party appraisals based on comparable properties
(market approach; which involved Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy).
Additionally,
we recorded $7.8 million of impairments of other assets related to corporate infrastructure changes, as a result of our
strategic repositioning.
The
Company terminated the employment of certain employees and eliminated positions as part of the strategic repositioning. In connection
with these terminations, the Company recorded severance of $3.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, of which
$2.9 million is included in loss from discontinued operations and $0.7 million is included in general and administrative expenses
in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The $3.6 million is accrued and included
in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company expects a portion of the remaining
balance to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2014 with the remainder to be paid through 2016.
5.
Income Taxes
We
believe we are operating so as to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore we are not subject to federal income
tax as long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders each year. As a result, no provision for
federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. If we fail to qualify as
a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income and to
federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Our
TRSs are subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. As such, deferred income taxes result from temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the TRSs for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to reverse. Significant components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRSs are as follows

Due
to our decision to discontinue construction and development operations, we believe it is more likely than not that we will
not realize the value of our deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance. Therefore, an increase of the valuation allowance
of approximately $4.9 million and $4.8 million was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Business Acquisitions
Denton, Texas Acquisition
In
January 2014, we acquired from HSRE its 80% ownership interest in HSRE IV, in which we previously held a 20% interest and which
owns The Grove at Denton, Texas, for approximately $7.7 million. Prior to the acquisition of this interest, we accounted for our
ownership interest in the property under the equity method. In connection with evaluating our investment in HSRE IV for impairment
as of December 31, 2013, we recognized a loss of approximately $0.3 million for the other than temporary decline in value of our
previously held equity interest in the property. The acquisition date fair value of the Company’s equity interest in HSRE
IV immediately before the acquisition of the remaining interest in HSRE IV was $1.9 million based on the purchase price of the
transaction. Subsequent to our acquisition of this interest, we consolidated the balance sheet and results of operations of The
Grove at Denton, Texas. Since the acquisition date, the acquired property has contributed a total of $2.7 million in revenue and
($0.9) million in losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

7. Investment in Unconsolidated
Entities
We have investments
in real estate ventures with HSRE, the former members (the “CB Investors”) of Copper Beech Townhome Communities, LLC
("CBTC") and Copper Beech Townhome Communities (PA), LLC (“CBTC PA,” together with CBTC, "Copper Beech"),
and Beaumont Partners SA (“Beaumont”) that we do not consolidate. These joint ventures are engaged primarily in developing,
constructing, owning and managing student housing properties. Both we and our joint venture partners hold joint approval rights
for major decisions, including those regarding property acquisitions and dispositions as well as property operation. As such, we
have significant influence but not control in these joint ventures and account for them under the equity method of accounting.
The
Company acts as the operating member and day-to-day manager for our investments with HSRE and Beaumont and earns fees
for these management services. Additionally, for the periods presented, the Company has provided development and
construction services to the ventures with HSRE, Copper Beech and Beaumont and recognized fees as the services are performed.
The fees related to development and construction services are included in "Income (loss) from discontinued
operations" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
In
January 2014, CSH Montreal LP (“CSH Montreal”), our joint venture with Beaumont, acquired the ownership of HIM
Holdings LP (“HIM Holdings”), an entity formed to facilitate the acquisition of the Holiday Inn Midtown in
Montréal, Québec for approximately CAD 65 million ($58.6 million). In connection with the acquisition of the
Holiday Inn property, we increased our ownership interest from 20.0% to 47.0% in CSH Montreal, the joint venture that owns
the Holiday Inn Midtown (renamed evo à Sherbrooke) and the previously announced evo à Square Victoria. In
January 2014, with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn Midtown property, we provided CAD 16.0 million ($15.0 million) of
preferred bridge equity financing to CSH Montreal to be repaid to us on or before September 2, 2014. As of September 2, 2014,
our preferred equity had not been repaid in full and as avesert we are now entitled to 40.54% of an cash distributions from
CSH montreal with Beaumont and its partners being entitled to the remaining 39.46%. we retain our ownership interest of 47.0%
in CSH Montreal. The Company estimates that it will be liable for approximately $5.2 million in future operating commitments
through the 2014/2015 academic year. The Company is required to find operating commitments up to its 47.0% ownership in
the partnership.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.

In
conjunction with the Holiday Inn Midtown acquisition, CSH Montreal entered into a CAD 112.0 million ($102.2
million) acquisition and development credit facility to help fund the conversion of both hotels into upscale student housing towers.
The credit facility provides for variable interest-only payments at the higher of the Canadian Prime rate, which was 3.00% at September
30, 2014, plus a weighted average spread of 3.38% or the Canadian Dealer Offered Rate (“CDOR”), which was 1.26% at
September 30, 2014, plus 1%, plus a weighted average spread of 3.38% through its maturity date on January 13, 2016. This facility
has one twelve-month extension option, subject to lender approval.
In
January 2014, we amended and restated the HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC operating agreement, which had the effect of exchanging our
preferred interests in The Grove at San Angelo, Texas, and The Grove at Conway, Arkansas, for additional membership interests in
HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC, effectively increasing our equity investment in the joint venture to 63.9% from 49.9%. HSRE-Campus Crest
I, LLC owns The Grove at San Angelo, Texas, The Grove at Lawrence, Kansas, and The Grove at Conway, Arkansas. In the event the
joint venture is sold, the partners will share equally in the net proceeds. There were no other material changes to the agreement.
On August 18,
2014, the Company elected not to exercise the first purchase option to acquire additional interests in the properties
comprising the CB Portfolio. As a result of this decision, the Company is entitled to 48.0% of the operating cash flows
in the 35 operating properties, one office building and one parcel of land as well as 45.0% of the proceeds of any sale of
any portion of the CB Portfolio. In addition, any future purchase options to acquire additional interests in the CB Portfolio
are forfeited. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, and as a result in the change in ownership percentage in the
CB Portfolio, the Company incurred a one-time non-cash charge of $34.0 million, which is included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
We are the guarantor
of the construction and mortgage debt or credit facilities of our joint ventures with HSRE and Beaumont. Details of our unconsolidated

summary includes results for 28 properties from January 1, 2014 through August 18, 2014 and results for 35 properties from
August 19, 2014 through September 30, 2014. The summary includes the results for 35 properties for the three months ended
September 30, 2013, and for the period from March 18, 2013 (the date of the transaction) through September 30, 2013. The
following is a summary of the results for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and for the period from March 18,
2013 through September 30, 2013 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (in thousands):

(Unaudited)
We consummated the acquisition of a 48.0%
interest in 35 properties of the CB Portfolio. As a result of lender consents that were required to be obtained from various lenders
to the CB Portfolio prior to our ownership, we completed our acquisition of the 48.0% interest in stages, which resulted in a variation
in our ownership percentage from 25.3% to 48.0% in all 35 of the CB Portfolio operating properties from March 18, 2013 to September
30, 2013. Effective October 1, 2013, the Company and the CB Portfolio sellers amended the purchase and sale agreement, subject
to receipt of all required third party consents, to increase the Company’s ownership interest by 19.0% in 28 of the 35 properties
(thereby increasing its ownership in the 28 properties to 67%) in exchange for the Company’s 48.0% interest in seven of the
properties (thereby reducing our ownership in the seven properties to 0%) and deferring the Company’s acquisition of any
interests in two of the properties, plus a $20.2 million cash payment. Accordingly, the Company recognized its proportionate share
of earnings of the CB Portfolio for the specific percentage of ownership interest we held during the applicable period, which was
a 67.0% effective interest in the 28 properties during the first and second quarters of 2014 and through August 18, 2014. Due to
the Company's decision not to exercise the first purchase option to acquire additional interests in the CB Portfolio, on August
19, 2014, the Company's ownership interest in all 35 operating properties in the CB Portfolio reverted to 48.0% and remained at
48.0% though September 30, 2014.
| (2) | As part of the purchase and sale agreement, the Company was entitled to receive a $13.0 million preferred payment over a one
year period beginning March 18, 2013 and ending on March 17, 2014. As such, for the period from January 1, 2014 to March 17, 2014,
the Company recorded in income its proportionate share of this payment, which corresponds to the portion of the CB Portfolio held
by the other owners of Copper Beech. |
| (3) | Included in the calculation of equity in earnings (losses) in the CB Portfolio is the amortization of the net difference in
the Company’s carrying value of investment as compared to the underlying equity in net assets of the investee. |
We were entitled to
a preferred payment of $13.0 million for the first year of our investment and our proportionate share of the remaining operating
cash flows in the CB Portfolio and we are currently entitled to our proportionate share of the operating cash flows in the CB Portfolio.
During the period from March 18, 2013 to September 30, 2014, we were entitled to $13.0 million related to our preferred payment,
all of which has been paid, and we received approximately $0.6 million in other distributions, as of September 30, 2014.

Mortgage
and Construction Loans
Mortgage and construction
loans are collateralized by properties and their related revenue streams and/or underlying assets. Mortgage loans are not cross-defaulted
or cross-collateralized with any other indebtedness. Our mortgage loans generally may not be prepaid prior to maturity; however,
in certain cases, prepayment is allowed subject to certain prepayment penalties. Our construction loan agreements contain representations,
warranties, covenants (including financial covenants upon commencement of operations) and other terms that are customary for construction
financing. Construction loans are generally secured by a first deed of trust or mortgage on each property, primary Uniform Commercial
Code filings, and an assignment of rents, leases and profits from the respective property. Mortgage and construction loans for
the periods presented consisted of the following (in thousands):

Line of Credit
In January 2013, we
entered into a credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with Citibank, N.A. and certain
other parties. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured credit facility (the "Revolving
Credit Facility") of up to $250.0 million, with sub-limits of $30.0 million for swing line loans and $15.0 million for letters
of credit. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a term loan of $50.0 million (the "Term Loan"
and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Amended Credit Facility").
As of September 30,
2014, we had approximately $151.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and $50.0 million outstanding under the
Term Loan. The amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, as well as outstanding letters of credit,
will reduce the amount that we may be able to borrow under this facility for other purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately
$70.8 million in borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, and amounts borrowed under the facility are due at its
maturity in January 2017, subject to a one-year extension, which we may exercise at our option, subject to the satisfaction of
certain terms and conditions, including the payment of an extension fee. The amount available for us to borrow under the Amended
Credit Facility is based on the sum of (a) the lesser of (i) 60.0% of the "as-is" appraised value of our properties that
form the borrowing base of the Amended Credit Facility and (ii) the amount that would create a debt service coverage ratio of not
less than 1.5, and (b) 50% of the aggregate of the lesser of (i) the book value of each of our development assets (as such term
is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and (ii) the "as-is" appraised value of each of our development
assets, subject to certain limitations in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
We incur an unused
fee on the balance between the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility and the amount outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility (i) of 0.30% per annum if our average borrowing is less than 50.0% of the total amount available or (ii) 0.25%
per annum if our average borrowing is greater than 50.0% of the total amount available.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Additionally, the
Amended Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to request an increase in the total commitments from $300.0 million
to $600.0 million, subject to conditions. Amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate
equal to, at our election, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement)
plus a spread that depends upon our leverage ratio. The spread for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 1.75%
to 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 0.75% to 1.50% for Base Rate based borrowings, and the spread for the Term
Loan ranges from 1.70% to 2.45% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 0.70% to 1.45% for Base Rate based borrowings. At
September 30, 2014, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings and Term Loan was 2.37% and 2.32%, respectively.
Our ability to borrow
under the Amended Credit Facility is subject to its ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants, including:
| · | a maximum leverage ratio of not greater
than 0.60:1.00; |
| · | a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio
of not less than 1.50:1.00; |
| · | a minimum ratio of fixed rate debt and
debt subject to hedge agreements to total debt of not less than 66.67%; |
| · | a maximum secured recourse debt ratio
of not greater than 20.0%; |
| · | a minimum tangible net worth of not less
than the sum of $330,788,250 plus an amount equal to 75.0% of the net proceeds of any additional equity issuances; and |
| · | a maximum secured debt ratio of not greater
than 50% through February 17, 2013 and not greater than 45.0% on any date thereafter. |
Pursuant to the terms
of the Amended Credit Facility, we may not pay distributions that exceed the greater of (i) 95.0% of our funds from operations,
or (ii) the minimum amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT. If a default or event of default occurs
and is continuing, we also may be precluded from making certain distributions (other than those required to allow the Company to
qualify and maintain its status as a REIT). On September 30, 2014, the Company received a waiver with respect to the distribution
payout ratio for each distribution payout date through the end of 2015. The waiver was expressly conditioned on the following:
(i) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) as each test date during 2015, the payout ratio
shall be equal to or less than (A) 105% or (B) such greater amount as may be required by applicable law for the Company to maintain
its status of a REIT.
We and certain of
our subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Amended Credit Facility and we and certain of our subsidiaries have provided
a negative pledge against specified assets (including real property), stock and other interests.
As of September 30,
2014, we were in compliance with the above financial covenants with respect to our Amended Credit Facility.
Exchangeable Notes
We
have outstanding $100.0 million of 4.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Exchangeable Senior Notes”) which
bear interest at 4.75% per annum. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15 of each year beginning April 15, 2014 until the
maturity date of October 15, 2018. The Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Exchangeable Senior Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Exchangeable Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Operating
Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating
Partnership.
The
Exchangeable Senior Notes contain an exchange settlement feature which allows the holder, under certain circumstances, to exchange
its Exchangeable Senior Notes for cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common
stock, at the option of the Operating Partnership, based on an initial exchange rate of 79.602 shares of common stock per $1,000
principal amount of Exchangeable Senior Notes. At the initial exchange rate, the Exchangeable Senior Notes are exchangeable for
common stock at an exchange price of approximately $12.56 per share of common stock.
The
Exchangeable Senior Notes will be exchangeable by the holder under the following circumstances on or prior to July 15, 2018: i)
during any calendar quarter beginning after December 31, 2013 (and only during such quarter) if the closing sale price of the common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company is more than 130% of the then-current exchange price for at least 20 trading days
(whether or not consecutive) in the period of the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar
quarter; ii) during the five consecutive business-day period following any five consecutive trading-day period in which the trading
price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day during such five trading day period was less than 98% of the closing
sale price of the common stock of Campus Crest, or Campus Crest common stock, for each trading day during such five trading-day
period multiplied by the then current exchange rate; or iii) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions described
in the indenture governing the Exchangeable Senior Notes. On or after July 15, 2018, and on or prior to the second scheduled trading
day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Exchangeable Senior Notes may exchange their notes without regard to
the foregoing conditions. Following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to maturity of the Exchangeable Senior Notes
and that also constitute a make-whole fundamental change, the Operating Partnership will increase the exchange rate for holders
who elect to exchange notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change in certain circumstances. If specified fundamental
changes involving the Operating Partnership or the Company occur, holders may require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the
Exchangeable Senior Notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes to be purchased
plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The
Operating Partnership may not redeem the Exchangeable Senior Notes prior to the maturity date. At any time prior to July 15, 2018,
the Operating Partnership may irrevocably elect, in its sole discretion without the consent of the holders of the Exchangeable
Senior Notes, to settle all of the future exchange obligation entirely in shares of the Company's common stock. On or after July
15, 2018, the Exchangeable Senior Notes will be exchangeable at any time prior to the close of business on the second business
day immediately preceding the maturity date.
9. Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value guidance
for financial assets and liabilities that are recognized and disclosed in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
on a recurring basis and nonfinancial assets on a nonrecurring basis establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1 — Observable
inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Other
than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such
as quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially
the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 —
Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which we make our own assumptions about how market participants
would price the asset or liability.
As of September 30,
2014 and December 31, 2013, our financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of our interest
rate caps. The fair values of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future
expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the interest rate caps. The variable
interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the interest rate cap are based on an expectation of future interest
rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. For our interest rate caps, we incorporate credit valuation
adjustments to appropriately reflect our respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In
adjusting the fair value of derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we consider the impact of netting and any
applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees.
As of September 30,
2014 and December 31, 2013, the fair value of our interest rate caps, valued using level 2 inputs, was approximately zero.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument
represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between market participants at the measurement
date (exit price), other than in a forced sale or liquidation. In instances where inputs used to measure fair value 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. Our assessment
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and considers factors specific to the
asset or liability.
Financial instruments consist
primarily of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, student receivables, interest rate caps, interest rate swaps, accounts
payable, mortgages, construction loans, Exchangeable Senior Notes, the line of credit and other debt and guarantees.
The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, student receivables and accounts payable are representative
of their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our
revolving line of credit approximates the outstanding balance due to the frequent market based re-pricing of the underlying
variable rate index. The estimated fair values of our mortgages, construction loans and Exchangeable Senior Notes were
determined by comparing current borrowing rates and risk spreads to the stated interest rates and risk spreads. The weighted
average interest rate for all borrowings was 3.62% and 4.23% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The
fair value of an guarantees are disclosed in Note 15.

Fair
Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets measured
at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of joint venture
investments related to HSRE I, HSRE V, HSRE VI and HSRE X (the “HSRE Investments”) and to our investment in CSH
Montreal LP and land parcels that were written-down to estimated fair value at September 30, 2014. The valuation techniques
and inputs used to develop the fair value estimates of the HSRE investments and certain land parcels are described in Note 4.
Factors giving rise to the strategic repositioning, including results below our expectations in original underwriting
transactions and our communication from venture partner during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 about their desire to
dispose of certain properties in the HSRE Investments in the near term, resulted in our determination that an other than
temporary impairment existed. After the impairments were recorded, our carrying value of our HSRE Investments and investment
in CSH Montreal LP were $12.8 million and $16.6 million, respectively. We engaged third-party specialists to assist us with
our valuation of certain of the underlying properties in the HSRE Investments. An income approach was used to determine the
fair value of our HSRE Investments. Inputs and assumptions included in the determination of fair value included our
expectation of projected net operating income to be earned and capital expenditures to be incurred at the underlying
properties and capitalization rates between ranging 6% and 8%. The capitalization rates were determined based on the
marketability of each of the properties and the extent to which the operations of the property has stabilized. For our
investment in CSH Montreal LP, we used a discounted cash flow valuation technique to estimate the fair value of the
Company’s investment. The discounted cash flows take into consideration current occupancy levels with growing
occupancies and revenue per available bed up to 95% and $1,050, respectively, over a five year period, an expected exit value
based on a 7% capitalization rate, and a 9% discount rate. The discount rate includes our belief that the properties have not
stabilized yet, given the occupancy levels of the properties owned by CSH Montreal LP during its first year of operations.
These valuation techniques involve Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy, and we believe that the highest and best use
of these properties continues to be for student housing.
The table below
aggregates the fair values of these assets by their level n the fair value hierarchy.

10. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per
share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of
our common stock outstanding during the period. All unvested stock-based payment awards are included in the computation of basic
earnings per share. The computation of diluted earnings per share includes OP Units and restricted OP Units in the weighted average
shares. The conversion of Exchangeable Senior Notes was not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the
conversion is anti-dilutive. Net income (loss) attributable to these noncontrolling interests is added back to net income (loss)
available to common stockholders in the computation of diluted earnings per share unless the effect of their conversion is anti-dilutive
in nature.

Equity
Preferred Stock
Our 8.0% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) ranks senior to our common stock with respect to
dividend rights and rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs. We pay cumulative
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock from the date of original issue at a rate of 8.00% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation
preference per share (equivalent to the fixed annual rate of $2.00 per share). Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are payable
quarterly in arrears on or about the 15th day of January, April, July and October of each year.
We may not redeem
the Series A Preferred Stock prior to February 9, 2017, except in limited circumstances relating to our ability to qualify as a
REIT. On or after February 9, 2017, we may, at our option, redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time
or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such Series
A Preferred Stock to, but not including, the date of redemption. The Series A Preferred Stock has no maturity date and is not subject
to mandatory redemption or any sinking fund. Holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock will generally have no voting rights
except for limited voting rights if we fail to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and
in certain other circumstances.

Common Shares and OP Units
An OP Unit and a share
of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics as they share equally in the net income (loss) and distributions
of the Operating Partnership. An OP Unit may be tendered for redemption for cash or share of common stock; however, we have sole
discretion and must have a sufficient amount of authorized common stock to exchange OP Units for shares of common stock on a one-for-one
basis.
As of September 30,
2014, there were approximately 65.2 million OP Units outstanding, of which approximately 64.8 million, or 99.3%, were owned by
us and approximately 0.4 million, or 0.7%, were owned by other partners, including certain of our executive officers. As of September
30, 2014, the fair market value of the OP Units not owned by us was $2.8 million, based on a market value of $6.40 per unit, which
was the closing stock price per shares of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on September 30, 2014.

12. Incentive Plans
We have adopted the
2010 Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) which permits the grant of incentive
awards to executive officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors. In April 2014, the Company’s stockholders
approved an amendment to the Incentive Plan, which increased the aggregate number of shares of common stock the Company may issue
under the Incentive Plan to 5.3 million. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 2.5 million and 0.3 million
shares of common stock, respectively, were available for issuance under the Incentive Plan.

15. Commitments
and Contingencies
Commitments
In the ordinary course
of business, certain liens related to the construction of the student housing real estate property may be attached to our assets
by contractors or suppliers. Campus Crest Construction, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is responsible as the general
contractor for resolving these liens. There can be no assurance that we will not be required to pay amounts greater than currently
recorded liabilities to settle these claims.
We have properties
that are subject to long-term ground leases. Typically, these properties are located on the campuses of colleges or universities.
We have the right to encumber our leasehold interests with specific property mortgages for the purposes of constructing, remodeling
or making improvements on or to these properties. Title to all improvements paid for and constructed on the land remains with
us until the earlier of termination or expiration of the lease, at which time the title of any buildings constructed on the land
will revert to the landlord. Should we decide to sell our leasehold interests during the initial term or any renewal terms, the
landlord has a right of first refusal to purchase the interests for the same purchase price under the same terms and conditions
as contained in our offer to sell our leasehold interests.
We lease space for
our corporate headquarters office. Rent is recognized on a straight-line basis. Future minimum payments over the life of our corporate
office lease and long-term ground leases subsequent to September 30, 2014 are as follows (in thousands):
2014 | |
$ | 368 | |
2015 | |
| 1,473 | |

2018 | |
| 1,489 | |
Thereafter | |
| 40,673 | |
Total future minimum lease payments | |
$ | 46,987 | |
We guarantee
certain mortgage and construction loans and revolving credit facilities related to our unconsolidated joint ventures (See
Note 7). We have estimated the fair value of the guarantees to be approximately $9.4 million, $3.2 million of which relates
to the Company's HSRE I investment and is netted against the investment and $6.2 million of which relates to the Company's
HSRE V investment and is netted against the value of the investment to the extent the investment is reduced to zero.
Following the reduction of the HSRE V investment to $0, a remaining accrual of $4.5 million is presented in "Other
liabilities" on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014.
In connection with
our investment in CSH Montreal, the Company provides a guarantee of up to 50% of the outstanding balance of the acquisition and
development credit facility (“CSH Montreal Debt”) of CAD 112.0 million ($102.2 million). As of September 30, 2014,
the outstanding balance of the CSH Montreal Debt was CAD 87.2 million ($78.0 million), of which we guaranteed CAD 43.6 ($39.0
million). The term of the guarantee follows the term of the underlying debt, which matures one January 13, 2016, unless the one
twelve month extension, which is subject to lender approval, is exercised. The CSH Montreal debt is secured by, among other things,
a first mortgage position on the real estate and improvements owned by CSH Montreal. We have estimated the fair value of this
guarantee to be immaterial.
Except as disclosed
above, we do not expect that the borrowers will default on the underlying debt arrangements and accordingly we do not expect
to be required to perform under the guarantees. In the event that we are required to perform under one of the guarantees, we
believe the borrower’s assets collateralizing the debt would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of
future payments under the guarantee.
Contingencies
In the normal course
of business, we are subject to claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings. In addition to the matter described below, we are involved
in various routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of such routine legal proceedings
cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such routine matters will not have
a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
On July 3, 2012,
we and certain of our subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed with the 250th Judicial District Court
in Travis County in Austin, Texas. The case arose from an accident at The Grove at Denton, located in Denton, Texas, in which
a balcony of one of the units broke and three people were seriously injured. The claims in the lawsuit against Campus Crest and
certain of its subsidiaries by the plaintiffs were settled in their entirety on July 29, 2014 without any admission of liability
on the part of Campus Crest or its subsidiaries. The settlement, which is covered by our existing insurance coverage, will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

16. Subsequent
Events
Amendment to Copper Beech Purchase Agreement
On November 3, 2014,
the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”)
to the purchase and sale agreement with the CB Investors to amend certain terms of the purchase and sale agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”), dated as of February 26, 2013, as amended on September 30, 2013, by and among the Company, CB-Campus Crest,
LLC, CB-Campus Crest PA, LLC, CBTC, CBTC PA and the Sellers.
The
Second Amendment amends the Purchase Agreement to, among other things, provide for the acquisition by the Company of
the Sellers’ remaining interests in each of the properties comprising the Copper Beech Portfolio other than Copper
Beech Kalamazoo Phase 1, Copper Beech Kalamazoo Phase 2, Copper Beech Morgantown, Copper Beech Harrisonburg, Copper
Beech Greenville and Copper Beech Parkway. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment,
the Company will hold a 100% interest in 29 of the properties, an 87% interest in one of the properties, an 86% interest in
one of the properties and a 48% interest in 4 of the properties and will have no ownership interests in 2 of the properties.
The Second Amendment also amends the Purchase Agreement to remove the Company’s options to acquire additional interests
in the Copper Beech Portfolio.
In addition, pursuant
to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company will acquire all of the Sellers’ remaining interests in Copper Beech at
Ames, Iowa, such that following closing the Company will hold a 100% interest in Copper Beech at Ames, Iowa.
As consideration
for the additional interests in the Copper Beech Portfolio, the Company has agreed to pay the Sellers consideration comprised of a cash payment of approximately $60.3 million and the issuance to the Sellers by
the Operating Partnership of an aggregate of approximately 12.4 million of units.
The closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, obtaining
any required third party consents. There can be no assurance that any closing condition will be satisfied or waived, if permitted,
or that any adverse event, development or change will not occur. Therefore, there can be no assurance with respect to the timing
of the effectiveness of the Second Amendment or whether the Second Amendment will be completed on the currently contemplated terms,
other terms, or at all.
On November 4, 2014,
Ted W. Rollins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, resigned his positions and will no longer be actively involved with the
Company. The Board of Directors elected Richard Kahlbaugh, lead independent director, as Executive Chairman and Interim CEO. It
is intended that Mr. Kahlbaugh will guide the Company through the completion of its strategic repositioning.
On November 4, 2014,
Donnie Bobbitt resigned his position and will no longer serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Bobbitt is expected
to provide transition counseling services to the Company for at least four months, reporting to Mr. Kahlbaugh. Scott Rochon has
been named acting Chief Financial Officer in addition to his duties as the Company’s Chief Accounting Officer. Aaron Halfacre
and Angel Herrera remain as the Company’s Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively.
There are no additional
material events requiring disclosure as of the date of issuance.

Overview
Our Company
We are a self-managed
and self-administered REIT focused on owning and managing a high-quality student housing portfolio located close to college campuses
in targeted markets. We operate our business through the Operating Partnership and our subsidiaries. We derive substantially all
of our revenue from student housing rental, student housing services and management services. As of September 30, 2014, we owned
(i) the sole general partnership interest, (ii) 99.3% of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership, or OP Units, and (iii) 100% of the outstanding preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.
We believe that we
are one of the largest owners and managers of high-quality student housing properties in the United States, based on beds owned
and under management. As of September 30, 2014, we owned interests in 47 operating student housing The Grove® properties
containing approximately 9,643 apartment units and 26,333 beds. Thirty-six of our operating The Grove® properties
are wholly-owned and eleven of our The Grove® properties are owned through joint ventures with HSRE. As
of September 30, 2014, we also owned interests in 36 operating student housing Copper Beech branded properties containing approximately
6,461 apartment units and 17,307 beds. Our Copper Beech branded properties are owned by the Company and the CB Investors (see
"CB Portfolio" below). On November 3, 2014, we entered into an agreement that will result in a restructuring of our
ownership in Copper Beech branded properties. See "CB Portfolio" below. As of September 30, 2014, we also owned interests
in three operating student housing evo properties containing approximately 1,547 units and 3,042 beds and owned one wholly-owned
redevelopment property containing approximately 173 units and 335 beds. As of September 30, 2014, our operating portfolio consisted

| (1) | In January 2014, we acquired
the remaining outstanding interests in The Grove at Denton, Texas. |
| (2) | In January 2014, we amended
and restated our operating agreement with HSRE resulting in our previously held preferred
interest in The Grove at San Angelo, Texas, and The Grove at Conway, Arkansas, being
converted to additional membership units of HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC. |
| (3) | As of September 2, 2014,
our ownership increased to 60.54% from 47.9% due to the conversion of preferred equity
into common ownership interest. See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. |
| (4) | As of September 30, 2014,
we held an effective interest in the CB Portfolio of 48.0%, with 35 unconsolidated properties
and one consolidated property (Copper Beech at Ames). See Note 7 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements. |
| (5) | Our 100% owned property
in Toledo, Ohio, which was acquired in March 2013, is excluded as it is in re-development. |
As of September 30,
2014, the average occupancy for our 47 operating The Grove® properties was approximately 87.3% and
the average monthly total revenue per occupied bed was approximately $525. Our operating The Grove® properties
are located in 23 states, contain modern apartment units with many resort-style amenities, and had an average age of approximately
4.4 years as of September 30, 2014. Our properties are primarily located in medium-sized college and university markets, which
we define as markets located outside of major U.S. cities that have nearby schools generally with overall enrollment of approximately
5,000 to 20,000 students. We believe such markets are underserved and are generally experiencing enrollment growth.
We have developed,
built and managed substantially all of our wholly-owned properties and several of our unconsolidated, joint venture properties
based upon a common prototypical residential building design. We believe that our use of this prototypical building design, which
we have built approximately 705 times (approximately 15 of such residential buildings make up one student housing property), allows
us to efficiently deliver a uniform and proven student housing product in multiple markets. All of our operating properties (other
than those in the CB Portfolio (as defined below), our evo properties and our re-development property in Toledo, OH) operate under
The Grove® brand, and we believe that our brand and the associated lifestyle are effective differentiators
that create higher visibility and appeal for our properties within their markets both with the student as well as the universities
we serve.
Strategic Repositioning
Our Board of Directors
has announced the following initiatives to strategically reposition the Company,
| · | Discontinuing
all construction and development to simplify the business model and focus on organic
growth |
| · | Identifying
cost savings at the property and corporate level to enhance profitability |
| · | Reducing
joint venture exposure through select asset dispositions to reduce indebtedness and increase
liquidity |
| · | Exploring
strategic options for our projects in Montreal, to include capital solutions to reduce
exposure, concurrent with ongoing efforts to drive occupancy |
| · | Marketing
development pipeline assets for sale to increase liquidity and simplify our balance sheet |
The goals of these
initiatives are to reduce the cost structure of the Company, focus on core operating activities that the Board believes will enhance
the Company’s long-term financial results, decrease the leverage of the Company, improve the liquidity of the Company, and
make the Company’s balance sheet and operating results more transparent to investors.
In addition, on November
3, 2014, the Company announced a change of senior management in connection with its strategic repositioning, naming our lead independent
director, Richard Kahlbaugh, as Executive Chairman and Interim CEO to lead the Company through the completion of its strategic
repositioning, and naming our Chief Accounting Officer, Scott Rochon, as acting Chief Financial Officer.
In connection with
our decision to discontinue our construction and development business and sell our development pipeline assets, we have recorded,
as of September 30, 2014, an impairment of $29.8 million in the value of our land and pre-development assets, based on our estimate
of the proceeds we may expect to receive from a sale of these assets, an impairment of $50.9 million on certain joint ventures
and an impairment of $7.8 million for certain other corporate assets that we revalued as a result of our strategic initiatives.
In addition, in subsequent
quarters we expect to incur severance and other costs in connection with our exit from our construction and development business
and management change. During the quarter, we terminated the employment of certain employees and eliminated some of their positions
as part of the strategic restructuring. In connection with these terminations, we recorded termination costs of $3.6 million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. We expect a portion of the remaining balance to be paid in the fourth quarter
of 2014 with the remainder to be paid in 2015.
CB Portfolio
We hold ownership
interests in a joint venture with the former members (the “CB Investors”) of Copper Beech Townhome Communities, LLC
("CBTC") and Copper Beech Townhome Communities (PA), LLC (“CBTC PA”) that owns a portfolio of 36 student
housing properties, one undeveloped land parcel in Charlotte, North Carolina, and a corporate office building in State College,
Pennsylvania, (the "CB Portfolio"), as well as a fully integrated platform and brand with management, development and
construction teams. Both we and the CB Investors hold joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property
acquisitions and dispositions as well as property operations. As such, we hold a noncontrolling interest in the CB Portfolio and
accordingly apply the equity method of accounting for 35 of the properties, while consolidating one property, Copper Beech at
Ames. As of September 30, 2014, we held a 48.0% effective interest in the CB Portfolio which entitled us to 48.0% of the operating
cash flows. Operating cash flows, is defined in the operating agreements governing the properties comprising the CB Portfolio,
as all cash revenues received reduced by cash expenditures for operating expenses, principal and interest payments on loans and
other borrowed money, capital expenditures and reserves for working capital purposes.
The purchase agreement
that we entered into when we made our initial investment in the Copper Beech properties in February 2013, as it was subsequently
amended in September 2013, contemplated the potential staged acquisition by the Company of the CB Portfolio through a series of
options, which are further described below. The CB Portfolio consists primarily of Copper Beech branded townhouse units located
in eighteen geographic markets in the United States across thirteen states, with 31 of the 36 student housing properties having
been developed by Copper Beech. As of September 30, 2014, the 36 operating properties included in the CB Portfolio comprised approximately
6,461 rentable units with approximately 17,307 rentable beds. As of September 30, 2014, the CB Portfolio had an average age of
approximately 9.3 years. As of September 30, 2014, the average occupancy for these student housing properties was approximately
93.0%. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the average monthly total revenue per occupied bed was approximately $517.
Our investment in the CB Portfolio entitled us to a preferred payment of $13.0 million for the period from March 18, 2013 through
March 17, 2014.
Under the Copper
Beech purchase agreement, we obtained options, exercisable from March 18, 2014 through August 18, 2014, to acquire an additional
18.0% interest in each of the Copper Beech properties, which would have resulted in our holding an 85% interest in 28 operating
properties and 2 non-operating properties and an 18% interest in 7 operating properties. We decided that it was not in the best
interests of the Company to exercise these options. As a result, under the terms of the purchase agreement, our interest in the
CB Portfolio was adjusted so that we owned a 48% interest in the entire CB Portfolio as of August 19, 2014.
As a result
of our decision during the third quarter of 2014 not to exercise the purchase options described above and the adjustment of
our equity interest in the CB Portfolio, we recorded, as of September 30, 2014, a $34.0 million reduction of the carrying
value of our interest in the CB Portfolio, based on the reduction of our ownership percentage to 48% in 35 properties from
67% in 28 operating properties. This determination did not take into account the Second Amendment to the purchase
agreement described below, which was entered into after the end of the third quarter of 2014 and currently and is targeted to
close at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014; however, the closing is subject to customary closing conditions, including,
among other things, obtaining any required lender consents. Pursuant to the terms of the second Amendment, in the event the
closing has not occurred by December 31, 2014, the outside date for closing will automatically be extended for three month
periods provided the only closing condition remaining to be satisfied is the receipt of any required lender consents.
On November 3,
2014, we entered into an amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Copper Beech purchase and sale agreement. The
Second Amendment amends the purchase agreement to, among other things, provide for the acquisition by the Company of all of
the sellers’ remaining interests in each of the properties comprising the Copper Beech Portfolio other than Copper
Beech Kalamazoo Phase 1, Copper Beech Kalamazoo Phase 2, Copper Beech Morgantown, Copper Beech Harrisonburg, Copper Beech
Greenville and Copper Beech Parkway. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Second Amendment, the Company will acquire all
of the Sellers’ remaining interests in Copper Beech at Ames, Iowa, such that following closing the Company will hold a
100% interest in Copper Beech at Ames, Iowa. Following consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Second Amendment,
the Company will hold a 100% interest in 30 of the properties, including a leasing office and land parcel, an 87% interest in
one of the properties (Copper Beech Klondike), an 86% interest in one of the properties (Copper Beech Northbrook), and a 48%
interest in 4 of the properties (Copper Beech Morgantown, Copper Beech Harrisonburg, Copper Beech Greenville and Copper Beech
Parkway) and will have no ownership interests in 2 of the properties (Copper Beech Kalamazoo Phase 1 and Copper Beech
Kalamazoo Phase 2). The Second Amendment also amends the purchase agreement to eliminate the Company’s options to
acquire additional interests in the Copper Beech Portfolio. As consideration for the additional interests in the Copper Beech
Portfolio, the Company has agreed to pay the Sellers aggregate consideration comprised of a cash payment of approximately
$60.3 million and the issuance to the Sellers by the Operating Partnership of an aggregate of approximately 12.4 million
limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). Closing is targeted to occur at the end of
the fourth quarter of 2014.

the Company. Our Board of Directors elected Richard Kahlbaugh, lead independent director, as Executive Chairman and Interim Chief
Executive Officer. It is intended that Mr. Kahlbaugh will guide the Company through the completion of its strategic repositioning.
In November 2014,
our Chief Financial Officer, Donnie Bobbitt, resigned his position. Mr. Bobbitt is expected to provide transition counseling services

in addition to his duties as our Chief Accounting Officer.
Our Relationship With HSRE
We are a party to
active joint venture arrangements with HSRE, a real estate private equity firm founded in 2005 that has significant real estate
asset holdings, including student housing properties, senior housing/assisted living units, self-storage units, boat storage facilities
and medical office space. As of September 30, 2014, we hold twelve operating joint venture properties with HSRE.
HSRE I. Our
first joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC ("HSRE I"), indirectly owned 100% of the interests in the following
three properties at September 30, 2014: The Grove at Conway, Arkansas, The Grove at Lawrence, Kansas, and The Grove at San Angelo,
Texas. As of September 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment on our investment in HSRE I. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated
financial statements regarding our write-down of the carrying value of our investment to fair value.
In January 2014,
we amended and restated the HSRE-Campus Crest I, LLC operating agreement, which had the effect of exchanging our preferred interests
in The Grove at San Angelo, Texas, and The Grove at Conway, Arkansas, for additional membership interests in HSRE-Campus Crest
I, LLC, effectively increasing our equity investment in the joint venture to 63.9% from 49.9%. In the event the joint venture
is sold, the partners will share equally in the net proceeds. There were no other material changes to the agreement.
HSRE IV. In
January 2011, we entered into a joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus Crest IV, LLC ("HSRE IV") to develop and operate
additional purpose-built student housing properties. HSRE IV completed two new student housing properties in August 2011 for the
2011-2012 academic year. The properties, located in Denton, Texas, and Valdosta, Georgia, contain an aggregate of approximately
1,168 beds and cost approximately $45.7 million. In January 2014, we completed the purchase of HSRE's 80% interest in The
Grove at Denton, Texas, which was included in HSRE IV prior to that date.
HSRE V. In
October 2011, we entered into a joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus Crest V, LLC ("HSRE V"), to develop and operate
additional purpose-built student housing properties. HSRE V completed three new student housing properties in August 2012 for
the 2012-2013 academic year. The properties, located in Fayetteville, Arkansas, Laramie, Wyoming, and Stillwater, Oklahoma, contain
an aggregate of approximately 1,856 beds and cost approximately $72.1 million. We own a 10% interest in this venture and
affiliates of HSRE own the balance. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment on our investment
in HSRE V. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements regarding our write-down of the carrying value of our
investment to fair value.
HSRE VI. In
March 2012, we entered into a joint venture with HSRE, HSRE-Campus Crest VI, LLC ("HSRE VI"), to develop and operate
additional purpose-built student housing properties. HSRE VI completed three new student housing properties in August 2013 for
the 2013-2014 academic year. The properties, located in Norman, Oklahoma, State College, Pennsylvania and Indiana, Pennsylvania,
contain an aggregate of approximately 1,784 beds and cost approximately $87.0 million. We own a 20.0% interest in this venture
and affiliates of HSRE own the balance. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment on our investment
in HSRE VI. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements regarding our write-down of the carrying value of our
investment to fair value.
In general, we are
responsible for the day-to-day management of HSRE I’s, HSRE V’s and HSRE VI's business and affairs, provided that
major decisions must be approved by us and HSRE. In addition to distributions to which we are entitled as an investor in HSRE
I, HSRE V and HSRE VI, management fees equal to approximately 3.0% of the gross revenues and 3.0% of the net operating income
of operating properties held by HSRE I, HSRE V and HSRE VI.
HSRE IX. In
January 2013, we entered into a joint venture with HSRE and Brandywine, HSRE-Campus Crest IX, LLC ("HSRE IX"), to develop
and operate additional purpose-built student housing properties. HSRE IX completed one new student housing property, evo at Cira
Centre South, in August 2014 for the 2014-2015 academic year. The property, located in the University City submarket of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, contains approximately 819 beds and cost approximately $158.5 million. We own a 30.0% interest in this venture,
Brandywine owns 30.0% and affiliates of HSRE own the balance.
In general, we, along
with Brandywine, are responsible for the day-to-day management of HSRE IX’s business and affairs, provided that major decisions
(including deciding to pursue a particular development opportunity) must be approved by us, HSRE, and Brandywine. In addition
to distributions to which we are entitled as an investor in HSRE IX, we, along with Brandywine, will earn management fees equal
to approximately 3.0% of the gross revenues and 2.0% of the net operating income of operating properties held by HSRE IX. In addition,
we, along with Brandywine, will receive a reimbursement of a portion of our overhead relating to each development project at a
negotiated rate. Under certain circumstances, we, along with Brandywine, will be responsible for funding the amount by which actual
development costs for a project pursued by HSRE IX exceed the budgeted development costs of such project (without any increase
in our interest in the project), which could materially and adversely affect the fee income realized from any such project.
HSRE X. In
March 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with HSRE, HSRE-Campus Crest X, LLC ("HSRE X"), to develop and
operate additional purpose-built student housing properties. HSRE X completed two new student housing properties in August 2014
for the 2014-2015 academic year. The properties, located in Louisville, Kentucky and Greensboro, North Carolina contain an aggregate
of approximately 1,240 beds and cost approximately $69.1 million. We own a 30.0% interest in this joint venture and affiliates
of HSRE own the balance. During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded an impairment on our investment
in HSRE X. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements regarding our write-down of the carrying value of our
investment to fair value.
Our Relationship With Beaumont
In July 2013, we
entered into a joint venture, DCV Holdings, LP (“DCV Holdings”) with Beaumont to acquire a 711 room, 33-story hotel
in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for approximately Canadian ("CAD") 60.0 million ($58.6 million). The joint venture
converted the property into an upscale student housing tower, called evo à
Square Victoria featuring a mix of single and double units serving McGill University, Concordia University and L’Ecole
de Technologie in August 2014 for the 2014-2015 academic year.
In
December 2013, we and Beaumont formed a holding company, CSH Montreal LP (“CSH Montreal”), and DCV Holdings was subsequently
contributed to CSH Montreal, such that CSH Montreal became the sole limited partner in DCV Holdings. In addition, following the
insertion of CSH Montreal as the holding company in the joint venture structure, CSH Montreal acquired ownership of HIM Holdings
LP (“HIM Holdings”), an entity formed to facilitate the acquisition of another property in Canada.
In
January 2014, through the newly formed HIM Holdings, the joint venture partnership acquired the 488-room, 22-story Holiday Inn
Midtown in Montréal, Québec for approximately CAD 65 million ($58.6 million). The joint venture converted the property
into an upscale evo student housing tower, called evo à Sherbrooke, near McGill University in August 2014 for the 2014-2015
academic year. In connection with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn property, we increased our ownership interest from 20.0%
to 35.0% in CSH Montreal. As of September 30, 2014, we owned a 35.0% interest in CSH Montreal.
In January 2014,
with the acquisition of the Holiday Inn Midtown property, we provided CAD 16.0 million ($15.0 million) of preferred bridge equity
financing to CSH Montreal to be repaid to us on or before September 2, 2014. As of September 2, 2014, our preferred equity had
not been repaid in full and was as a result we are now entitled to 60.54% of all cash distributions from CSH Montreal with Beaumont and
its partners being entitled to the remaining 39.46%. we retain our ownership interest of 47.0% in CSH Montreal.
The
occupancy levels and rental rates for the CSH Montreal properties during their initial quarter of operation (the
quarter ended September 30, 2014) were significantly below our expectations when we entered into this joint venture and
acquired the joint venture properties. We have determined that the initial performance results indicate that there has been a
permanent impairment to our investment in this joint venture. As a result, as of September 30, 2014, we recorded an
impairment on our investment in CSH Montreal. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Set forth below is
a summary of the accounting policies that management believes are critical to the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial
statements. Certain of these accounting policies are particularly important for an understanding of the financial position and
results of operations presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements set forth elsewhere in this report. These policies
require the application of judgment and assumptions by management and, as a result, are subject to a degree of uncertainty. Actual
results could differ as a result of such judgment and assumptions.
Our condensed consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of all investments, which include joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest
and our consolidated subsidiaries. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our historical condensed consolidated financial
statements and related notes. In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, management has utilized all available
information, including its past history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming
its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the historical condensed consolidated financial statements, giving
due consideration to materiality. Our estimates may not be ultimately realized. Application of the critical accounting policies
below involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results may
differ from these estimates. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may utilize different estimation policies and
methodologies, which may impact the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those companies.
Valuation of Investment in Real
Estate
Investment in
real estate is recorded at historical cost. Pre-development expenditures include items such as entitlement costs,
architectural fees and deposits associated with the pursuit of partially-owned and wholly-owned development projects. These
costs are capitalized until such time that management believes it is no longer probable that a contract will be executed
and/or construction will commence. Management evaluates the status of projects where we have not yet acquired the target
property or where we have not yet commenced construction on a periodic basis and writes off any pre-development costs related
to projects whose current status indicates the commencement of construction is not probable. Such write-offs are included
within impairment of land and pre-development costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive
income (loss).
Management assesses
whether there has been impairment in the value of our investment in real estate whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of investment in real estate is assessed by a comparison
of the carrying amount of a student housing property to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated
by the property. Impairment is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the
property. The estimation of expected future undiscounted cash flows is inherently uncertain and relies on assumptions regarding
current and future economics and market conditions. If such conditions change, then an adjustment reducing the carrying value
of our long-lived assets could occur in the future period in which 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 operating earnings. Fair value is
determined based upon the discounted cash flows of the property, quoted market prices or independent appraisals, as considered
necessary.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
Under the equity
method, investments in unconsolidated entities are initially recognized in the balance sheet at cost and are subsequently adjusted
to reflect our proportionate share of net earnings or losses of the entity, distributions received, contributions, and certain
other adjustments, as appropriate. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on our condensed consolidated
balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated
entities. When circumstances indicate there may have been a loss in value of an equity method investment, and we determine the
loss in value is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the investment at fair value.
During the quarter
ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded an impairment charges of $50.9 million in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for certain unconsolidated entities, including $28.3 million related to HSRE I,
HSRE V, HSRE VI and HSRE X (the “HSRE Investments”) and $22.6 million related the Company's investment in CSH Montreal
LP. Some of the factors giving rise to the strategic repositioning, including results below the Company's expectations in original
underwriting transactions and the Company's partner’s desire to consider disposition of certain of the properties held within
the above investments, the Company concluded that an other than temporary impairment should be recorded. After the impairments
were recorded, the Company's carrying value of its HSRE investments and investment in CSH Montreal LP were $12.8 million and $16.7
million, respectively. The Company used an income approach for the HSRE Investments using an expectation of projected net operating
income at the properties and capitalization rates between 6% and 8% depending on the marketability of the asset due to the belief
that stabilized operations and capitalization rates are an indicator of value of the underlying properties. For the Company's
investment in CSH Montreal LP, the Company used a discounted cash flow valuation technique as the properties currently do not
have stabilized results given they are in their first year of operations. The discounted cash flow analysis assumed current occupancy
and revenue per bed levels in the first year of operations with steady occupancy and revenue per bed growth up to 95% and $1,045,
respectively, in year five, with a discount rate of 9% and exit cap rate of 7%. Both valuation techniques used are Level 3 in
the fair value hierarchy and the Company believes that the highest and best use of these properties continues to be for student
housing.
The information above
is provided to allow transparency into the assumptions used to calculate our impairment of unconsolidated entities. There is a
significant level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters and there is susceptibility of
such assumptions not being realized. The impact of these estimates and assumptions not being met would result in a material impact
to our condensed consolidated results of operations. Below is the impact should the result of certain key assumptions be different
than those used in the impairment calculations. In connection with the HSRE Investments, for every one percent change in net operating
income and for every 10 basis point change in the capitalization rate, the impairment would change by $0.8 million and $1.0 million,
respectively. In connection with our investment in CSH Montreal LP, for every one percent change in occupancy and every one percent
change in revenue per bed, the impairment would change by $1.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively.
Development, Construction and Management
Services (Presented in Discontinued Operations)
Development and construction
service revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, as determined by construction costs incurred relative
to total estimated construction costs. Any changes in significant judgments and/or estimates used in determining construction
and development revenue could significantly change the timing or amount of construction and development revenue recognized.
Development and construction
service revenues are recognized for contracts with entities we do not consolidate. For projects where revenue is based on a fixed
price, any cost overruns incurred during construction, as compared to the original budget, will reduce the net profit ultimately
recognized on those projects. Profit derived from these projects is eliminated to the extent of our interest in the unconsolidated
entity. Any incentive fees, net of the impact of our ownership interest, are recognized when the project is complete and performance
has been agreed upon by all parties, or when performance has been verified by an independent third party. When total development
or construction costs at completion exceed the fixed price set forth within the related contract, such cost overruns are recorded
as additional investment in the unconsolidated entity to the extent these amounts are determined to be realizable. Entitlement
fees, where applicable, are recognized when earned based on the terms of the related contracts.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Allowances for student
receivables are established when management determines that collections of such receivables are doubtful. Balances are considered
past due when payment is not received on the contractual due date. When management has determined receivables are uncollectible,
they are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying value
of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, student receivables and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair
values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair value of our revolving line of credit approximates
the outstanding balance due to the frequent market based re-pricing of the underlying variable rate index. The estimated fair
values of mortgages and construction loans are determined by comparing current borrowing rates and risk spreads offered in the
market to the stated interest rates and spreads on our current mortgages, construction loans, and Exchangeable Senior Notes.
Fair value guidance
for financial assets and liabilities that are recognized and disclosed in the condensed consolidated financial statements on a
recurring basis and nonfinancial assets on a nonrecurring basis establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs
to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant
unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1
- Observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets
or liabilities.
Level 2
- Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly
or indirectly, such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly,
for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which we make our own assumptions about how market participants
would price the asset or liability.
Fair value is defined
as the price that would be received when selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date (exit price). In instances where inputs used to measure fair value 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. Our 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.
Income Taxes
We have made an election
to qualify, and believe we are operating so as to qualify, as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Our qualification as a REIT depends upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results,
various complex requirements under the Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income,
the composition and values of our assets, our distribution levels and the diversity of ownership of our stock. We believe that
we are organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code
and that our intended manner of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.
We have made the
election to treat TRS Holdings, our wholly-owned subsidiary as a TRS. TRS Holdings holds our development, construction and management
companies that provide services to entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity interests. As a TRS, the operations of TRS
Holdings and its subsidiaries are generally subject to federal, state and local income and franchise taxes. Our TRS accounts for
its income taxes in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which includes an estimate of the amount of taxes payable or refundable for the
current year and deferred tax liabilities and assets for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our
financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of the TRS entities are recognized based on the difference
between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to reverse.
We follow a two-step
approach for evaluating uncertain tax positions. Recognition (step one) occurs when we conclude that a tax position, based solely
on its technical merits, is more-likely-than-not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) to be sustained upon examination. Measurement
(step two) determines the amount of benefit that more-likely-than-not will be realized upon
settlement. Derecognition of a tax position that was previously recognized would occur when we subsequently determined that a
tax position no longer met the more-likely-than-not threshold of being sustained. The use of a valuation allowance as a substitute
for derecognition of tax positions is prohibited.
Property Acquisitions
We allocate 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 independent appraisals, other market data, information obtained during due diligence and
information related to the marketing and leasing at the specific property. 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, net of variable 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. Acquisition-related costs such as due diligence, legal and accounting fees are
expensed as incurred and not applied in determining the fair value of an acquired property.
REIT Qualification Requirements
We have elected to
be treated as a REIT under Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal Revenue Code. Our continued qualification as a REIT depends
upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual investment and operating results, various complex requirements
under the Internal Revenue Code relating to, among other things, the sources of our gross income, the composition and values of
our assets, our distribution levels and the diversity of ownership of our stock. We believe that our intended manner of operation
will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject
to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute currently to our stockholders.
Factors Expected to Affect Our Operating
Results
Unique Leasing Characteristics
Student housing properties
are typically leased by the bed on an individual lease liability basis, unlike multi-family housing where leasing is by the unit.
Individual lease liability limits each student-tenant’s liability to his or her own rent without liability for a roommate’s
rent. A parent or guardian is required to execute each lease as a guarantor unless the student-tenant provides adequate proof
of income. The number of lease contracts that we administer is therefore equivalent to the number of beds occupied rather than
the number of units.
Due to our predominantly
private bedroom accommodations, the high level of student-oriented amenities offered at our properties and the individual lease
liability for our student-tenants and their parents, we believe that we typically command higher per-unit and per-square foot
rental rates than many multi-family properties located in the markets in which we operate. We are also typically able to charge
higher rental rates than on-campus student housing, which generally offers fewer amenities.
Unlike traditional
multi-family housing, most of our leases commence on the same date. In the case of our typical 11.5-month leases (which provide
for 12 equal monthly payments), this date coincides with the commencement of the fall academic term and typically terminates at
the completion of the last summer school session. As such, we must re-lease each property in its entirety each year, resulting
in significant turnover in our tenant population from year to year. As a result, we are highly dependent upon the effectiveness
of our marketing and leasing efforts during the annual leasing season, which typically begins each October and ends in September
of the following year. As of the start of the fall term for the 2014-2015 and 2013-2014 academic years, we had approximately 39.1%
and 41.7%, respectively, of our current tenants renew their lease for the upcoming academic year.
Results of Operations
Our Business Segments
Management evaluates
operating performance through the analysis of results of operations of two distinct business segments: (i) student housing
operations and (ii) property management services. Management evaluates each segment’s performance by reference to net
operating income, which is a non-GAAP measure, as defined below. The accounting policies of
our reportable business segments are described in more detail in the summary of significant accounting policies footnote (Note
2) to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Intercompany fees are reflected at the contractually stipulated amounts,
as adjusted to reflect our proportionate ownership of unconsolidated entities.
Student Housing Operations
Our student housing
operations are comprised of rental and other service revenues, such as application fees, pet fees and late payment fees. Due to
the continuous opening of new properties in consecutive years and annual lease terms that do not coincide with our reported fiscal
(calendar) years, the comparison of our condensed consolidated financial results from period to period may not provide a meaningful
measure of our operating performance. For this reason, we divide the results of operations in our student housing operations segment
between new property operations and "same-store" operations, which we believe provides a more meaningful indicator of
comparative historical performance.
"Same store"
properties are our wholly-owned operating properties acquired or placed in-service prior to the beginning of the earliest period
presented and owned by us and remaining in service through the end of the latest period presented or period being analyzed. "New
properties" are our wholly-owned operating properties that we acquired or placed in service after the beginning of the earliest
period presented or period being analyzed.
We monitor NOI of
our student housing properties, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. In general terms, we define NOI as student housing rental
revenue less student housing operating expenses and excluding expenses not specifically tied to a property. We believe this measure
provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). We use NOI
to evaluate performance on a community-by-community basis because it allows management to evaluate the impact factors such as
lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by locality, have on our financial performance. To help make comparisons
of NOI between periods more meaningful, we distinguish NOI from our properties that are wholly-owned and that were in service
throughout each period presented (that is, our "same store" properties) from NOI from our other wholly-owned properties.
We specifically calculate
NOI by adding back to (or subtracting from) net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders the following expenses or charges:
income tax expense, interest expense, equity in loss of unconsolidated entities, preferred stock dividends, depreciation and amortization,
ground lease expense, general and administrative expense, property management services expenses, other expense, loss from discontinued
operations, impairment of unconsolidated entities, effect of not exercising the Copper Beech purchase option, impairment of land
and pre-development costs, write off of other corporate assets and transaction costs. The following income or gains are then deducted
from net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, adjusted for add backs of expenses or charges: equity in earnings
of unconsolidated entities, income tax benefit, other income, income from discontinued operations, and property management services
revenues.
NOI excludes multiple
components of net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) and captures neither the
changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures necessary
to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially and adversely
impact our results of operations. Therefore, the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Additionally, other
companies, including other equity REITs, may use different methodologies for calculating NOI and, accordingly, NOI as disclosed
by such other companies may not be comparable to NOI published herein. We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding
of our historical operating results, NOI should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in the condensed
consolidated financial statements accompanying this report. NOI should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss)
attributable to common stockholders as an indicator of our properties’ financial performance or to cash flow from operating
activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund
our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distribution.
Management Services
In addition to our
wholly-owned properties, all but one of which are managed by us, we also provide management services to unconsolidated joint ventures
in which we have an ownership interest. We recognize management fees from these entities as earned in accordance with the property
management agreement with these entities, as adjusted to eliminate our proportionate ownership of each entity.

Student Housing Operations
Revenues in
the student housing operations segment (which include student housing rental and student housing service revenues) increased
by approximately $5.0 million and student housing operations expenses increased
by approximately $2.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2013. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the opening of two new properties in August 2013 (The
Grove at Muncie, Indiana, and The Grove at Fort Collins, Colorado), the opening of the undamaged portion of a new property
in August 2013 (The Grove at Pullman, Washington), the acquisition of the remaining ownership interests in The Grove at
Denton, Texas, in January 2014, the opening of five new properties in August 2014 (The Grove at Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania,
The Grove at Grand Forks, North Dakota, The Grove at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, The Grove at Gainesville, Florida, and Copper
Beech at Ames, Iowa), and the prior period reclassification of four properties disposed in December 2013 (The Grove
at Jacksonville, Alabama, The Grove at Jonesboro, Arkansas, The Grove at Wichita, Kansas, and The Grove at Wichita
Falls, Texas). The increase in student housing operations expenses was primarily due to the aforementioned activity.
Revenues in the
student housing operations segment (which include student housing rental and student housing service revenues) increased by
approximately $10.5 million and student housing operations expenses increased
by approximately $4.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 2013. The increase in revenues was primarily due to the opening of two new properties in August 2013 (The Grove
at Muncie, Indiana, and The Grove at Fort Collins, Colorado), the opening of the undamaged portion of a new property in
August 2013 (The Grove at Pullman, Washington), the acquisition of the remaining ownership interests in The Grove at Denton,
Texas, in January 2014, the opening of five new properties in August 2014 (The Grove at Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, The
Grove at Grand Forks, North Dakota, The Grove at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, The Grove at Gainesville, Florida and Copper Beech
at Ames, Iowa), and the prior period reclassification of four properties disposed in December 2013 (The Grove at
Jacksonville, Alabama, The Grove at Jonesboro, Arkansas, The Grove at Wichita, Kansas, and The Grove at Wichita Falls,
Texas). The increase in student housing operations expenses was primarily due to the aforementioned activity.
New
Property Operations. In August 2013, we began operations at The Grove at Muncie, Indiana, The Grove at Fort Collins,
Colorado, The Grove at Flagstaff II, Arizona, and partial operations at The Grove at Pullman, Washington, which contributed
approximately $2.4 million of NOI ($3.1 million of revenues and $0.7 million of student housing operations expenses) for the
three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to approximately $1.6 million of NOI ($2.3 million of revenues and $0.7
million of operating expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2013. In January 2014, we acquired the remaining
ownership interests in The Grove at Denton, Texas, which contributed approximately $0.5 million of NOI ($1.0 million of
revenues and $0.5 million of student housing operations expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to
no contribution for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Prior to the acquisition of these interests, we accounted for
our ownership in The Grove at Denton, Texas under the equity method. In August 2014, we began operations at The Grove at
Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, The Grove at Grand Forks, North Dakota, The Grove at Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, The Grove at
Gainesville, Florida, and Copper Beech at Ames, Iowa which contributed approximately $1.9 million of NOI ($2.7 million of
revenues and $0.8 million of student housing operations expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to
no contribution for the three months ended September 30, 2013.
The Grove
at Muncie, Indiana, The Grove at Fort Collins, Colorado, The Grove at Flagstaff II, Arizona, and The Grove at
Pullman, Washington, collectively contributed approximately $6.3 million of NOI ($8.3 million of revenues and $2.0 million of
student housing operations expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to approximately $1.6 million of
NOI ($2.3 million of revenues and $0.7 million of operating expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The Grove
at Denton, Texas, contributed approximately $1.5 million of NOI ($2.9 million of revenues and $1.4 million of student
housing operations expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to no contribution for the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. The Grove at Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania, The Grove at Grand Forks, North Dakota, The Grove at Mt.
Pleasant, Michigan, The Grove at Gainesville, Florida, and Copper Beech at Ames, Iowa, collectively contributed approximately
$1.9 million of NOI ($2.7 million of revenues and $0.8 million of student housing operations expenses) for the nine
months ended September 30, 2014, compared to no contribution for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
"Same-Store"
Property Operations. Our 28 "same-store” properties contributed approximately $10.5 million of NOI
($20.9 million of revenues and $10.4 million of operating expenses) for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to
approximately $11.4 million of NOI ($21.1 million of revenues and $9.7 million of student housing operations expenses) for
the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in revenue at our "same-store" properties was primarily due
to a decrease in average occupancy from approximately 91.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared
to approximately 90.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The $0.6 million increase to operating expenses
was primarily due to additional bad debt write-offs taken for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the
three months ended September 30, 2013.
Our 28
"same-store” properties contributed approximately $33.5 million of NOI ($62.7 million of revenues and $29.2
million of student housing operations expenses) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to approximately $35.4
million of NOI ($64.1 million of revenues and $28.7 million of student housing operations expenses) for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013. The decrease in revenue at our "same-store" properties was primarily due to a decrease in
average occupancy from approximately 92.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to approximately 90.2% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The $0.5 million increase to operating expenses was primarily due to additional bad
debt write-offs taken for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Property Management Services
Property management
services revenues increased by approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014,
respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. The increases were primarily due to an increase in the number of property
management contracts (we added three property management contracts in August 2013 (The Grove at Norman, Indiana, The Grove at
State College, Pennsylvania, and The Grove at Indiana, Pennsylvania) and five property management contracts in August 2014 (The
Grove at Greensboro, North Carolina, The Grove at Louisville, Kentucky, evo at Cira Centre South, Pennsylvania, evo à Square
Victoria, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, evo à Sherbrooke, Montreal, Quebec, Canada)), partially offset termination of the property
management contract for The Grove at Denton, Texas, in January 2014.
General and Administrative
General and administrative
expenses increased by approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively,
compared to the same periods for 2013. The increases were primarily due to an increase in the number of full-time employees, professional
fees, travel expenses resulting from our growth and the inclusion of some termination costs of certain employees. See Note 4 in
the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Impairment of Unconsolidated Entities
For each of the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded approximately $50.9 million in impairment charges related to our investments
in joint venture entities accounted for under the equity method, whereas the calculated fair values of our investments in these
joint venture entities exceeded the carrying values. See Note 4 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
There was no such charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Write-off of Pre-Development Costs
For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded approximately $29.8 million in write-offs related to pre-development costs due
to the discontinuation of our development and construction service companies. See Note 4 in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements. There was no such charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Write-off of Other Corporate Assets
For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded approximately $7.8 million in write-offs of corporate assets in conjunction
with our strategic repositioning initiative. See Note 4 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. There
was no such charge for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Severance Costs
For the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded approximately $3.6 million in severance costs ($2.9 million
included in loss from discontinued operations and $0.7 million included in general and administrative expenses in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss)) relating to separation agreements for two former executives as well as employees winding down within our
development and construction service companies. See Note 4 in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Transaction Costs
We recognized approximately
$0.3 million and approximately $0.2 million in transaction costs related to the CB Portfolio, CSH Montreal, and other transactions
for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We capitalized approximately $1.8 million of direct, incremental
costs related to the CB Portfolio Acquisition into the basis of our investment for the three months ended September 30, 2014.
We recognized approximately
$2.3 million and $0.8 million in transaction costs related to the CB Portfolio, CSH Montreal, and other transactions for the nine
months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We capitalized approximately $3.8 million of direct, incremental costs
related to the CB Portfolio Acquisition into the basis of our investment for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and
amortization expense increased by approximately $1.5 million and $4.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2014, respectively, compared to the same periods for 2013. This increase was primarily due to the increase in the number of operating
properties.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated
Entities
Equity in earnings
of unconsolidated entities, which represents our share of the net income from entities in which we have a non-controlling interest,
decreased by approximately $0.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014
compared to the same periods for 2013. This decrease is primarily a result of the expiration in March 2014 of the preferred payment
related to the CB portfolio.
For the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2014, the net income (loss) of the CB Portfolio reflecting the impact of the Company’s cost
basis of its investment in Copper Beech, including adjustments related to purchase accounting, was approximately $0.9 million
and ($1.6) million, respectively. Our share of these net income (losses) was approximately $0.4 million and ($1.2) million for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Our investment in the CB Portfolio entitled us to a preferred
payment of $13.0 million over the first year of our investment, beginning March 18, 2013 and ending March 17, 2014. During the
period from January 1, 2014 through March 17, 2014, we were entitled to approximately $2.8 million of the preferred payment, of
which, we recognized $0.9 million of the $2.8 million in equity in earnings. The remaining $1.9 million of the $2.8 million was
not recognized in equity in earnings, as we are required to eliminate the portion of the preferred payment related to our ownership
interest in the CB Portfolio. If we had not been entitled to the preferred payment, our equity in earnings in the CB Portfolio
during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been a loss of approximately ($1.1) million, which includes our share
of the net loss of approximately ($0.8) million and ($0.4) million of amortization of the net difference in our carrying value
of investment as compared to the underlying equity in net assets of the investee.
As of September 30,
2014, the CB Portfolio had paid us the full amount of the preferred payment. See Note 7 to the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Impairments
During
the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we recorded impairment of $50.9 million for certain of our unconsolidated entities,
impairments of $29.8 million related to land and pre-development costs and $7.8 million of impairments of other assets
related to corporate infrastructure changes, all of which are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Interest Expense
Interest expense
increased approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively,
compared to the same periods for 2013, primarily due to an increase in average outstanding indebtedness.
Other Income/(Expense)
Other income decreased
approximately ($0.7) million and ($1.3) million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively, as compared
to the same periods in 2013. In 2013, we earned interest on a $31.7 million notes receivable from the CB Investors that was repaid
in full in the fourth quarter of 2013.
Income Tax Benefit
We recorded an income
tax benefit for both the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to losses in our
TRS entities generating deferred tax assets that are expected to be utilized against prior taxable income and future reversing
deferred tax liabilities.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued
Operations
In September 2014,
we began unwinding our development and construction services companies due to restructuring activities and accordingly reclassified
the results of these operations to “Income (loss) from discontinued operations” in the condensed consolidated statement
of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the periods presented.
In December 2013,
we sold four wholly-owned properties: The Grove at Jacksonville, Alabama, The Grove at Jonesboro, Arkansas, The Grove at Wichita,
Kansas, and The Grove at Wichita Falls, Texas and classified their results of operations within income (loss) from discontinued
operation's in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Dividends on Preferred Stock
Dividends on preferred
stock increased to approximately $3.1 million and $9.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively,
compared to $1.2 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due
to an increase in the average number of shares of preferred stock outstanding in 2014. In October 2013, we reopened our Series
A Preferred Stock in an underwritten public offering of 3,800,000 shares of preferred stock.

by operating activities was approximately $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately
$32.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, an decrease of approximately $0.2 million. Net income adjusted for
non-cash items provided approximately $26.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately
$35.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately $9.3 million. This decrease is due to
the addition of properties placed into service in 2013. Approximately $12.5 million was provided by working capital purposes for
the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to approximately ($3.1) million used by working capital accounts for the
nine months ended September 30, 2013, an increase of approximately $15.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the timing
of construction billings and vendor payments.
Net cash used in
investing activities totaled approximately $153.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net cash
used of approximately $467.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately $314.2 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired the remaining ownership interests in The Grove at Denton, TX. See Note
6 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we acquired ownership
interests in the CB Portfolio as well as the property acquisition in Toledo, Ohio and Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Net cash provided
by financing activities totaled approximately $107.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net cash
provided of approximately $452.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of approximately $344.6 million.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we funded ongoing construction projects through our Revolving Credit Facility and
made dividend payments on a higher average number of outstanding shares of common and preferred stock, as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we received net proceeds of approximately $312.7
million from a common stock offering, which was used to fund the acquisition of ownership interests in the CB Portfolio as well
as for working capital purposes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our capital resources
include accessing the public debt and equity markets, when available, mortgage and construction loan financing and immediate access
to the Amended Credit Facility (discussed below).
As a REIT, we generally
must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding any net capital gain, in order for corporate income
tax not to apply to earnings that we distribute. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less
than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income.
In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our stockholders in
a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal income tax laws. We intend to make distributions to
our stockholders to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and to avoid paying corporate tax on undistributed
income. Additionally, we intend to make distributions that exceed these requirements. We may need to obtain financing to meet
our distribution requirements because:
| · | our
income may not be matched by our related expenses at the time the income is considered
received for purposes of determining taxable income; and |
| · | non-deductible
capital expenditures, creation of reserves or debt service requirements may reduce available
cash but not taxable income. |
In these circumstances,
we may be forced to obtain third-party financing on terms we might otherwise find unfavorable, and we cannot provide assurance
that we will be able to obtain such financing. Alternatively, if we are unable or unwilling to obtain third-party financing on
the available terms, we could choose to pay a portion of our distributions in stock instead of cash, or we may fund distributions
through asset sales.
Principal Capital Resources
In January 2013,
we entered into a credit agreement (the "Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement") with Citibank, N.A. and certain
other parties. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a senior unsecured credit facility (the "Revolving
Credit Facility") of up to $250.0 million, with sub-limits of $30.0 million for swing line loans and $15.0 million for letters
of credit. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for a term loan of $50.0 million (the "Term Loan"
and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Amended Credit Facility").
As of September 30,
2014, we had approximately $151.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and $50.0 million outstanding under
the Term Loan. The amounts outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan, as well as outstanding letters of credit,
will reduce the amount that we may be able to borrow under this facility for other purposes. As of September 30, 2014, we had
approximately $70.8 million in borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility, and amounts borrowed under the facility
are due at its maturity in January 2017, subject to a one-year extension, which we may exercise at our option, subject to the
satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, including the payment of an extension fee. The amount available for us to borrow
under the Amended Credit Facility is based on the sum of (a) the lesser of (i) 60.0% of the "as-is" appraised value
of our properties that form the borrowing base of the Amended Credit Facility and (ii) the amount that would create a debt service
coverage ratio of not less than 1.5, and (b) 50% of the aggregate of the lesser of (i) the book value of each of our development
assets (as such term is defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and (ii) the "as-is" appraised
value of each of our development assets, subject to certain limitations in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
We incur an unused
fee on the balance between the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility and the amount outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility (i) of 0.30% per annum if our average borrowing is less than 50.0% of the total amount available or (ii) 0.25%
per annum if our average borrowing is greater than 50.0% of the total amount available.
Additionally, the
Amended Credit Facility has an accordion feature that allows us to request an increase in the total commitments from $300.0 million
to $600.0 million, subject to conditions. Amounts outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility bear interest at a floating rate
equal to, at our election, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base Rate (each as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement)
plus a spread that depends upon our leverage ratio. The spread for borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from
1.75% to 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 0.75% to 1.50% for Base Rate based borrowings, and the spread for
the Term Loan ranges from 1.70% to 2.45% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowings and from 0.70% to 1.45% for Base Rate based borrowings.
At September 30, 2014, the interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility borrowings and Term Loan was 2.06% and 2.01%, respectively.
Our ability to borrow
under the Amended Credit Facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants, including:
| · | a
maximum leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00; |
| · | a
minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00; |
| · | a
minimum ratio of fixed rate debt and debt subject to hedge agreements to total debt of
not less than 66.67%; |
| · | a
maximum secured recourse debt ratio of not greater than 20.0%; |
| · | a
minimum tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $330,788,250 plus an amount equal
to 75.0% of the net proceeds of any additional equity issuances; and |
| · | a
maximum secured debt ratio of not greater than 50% through February 17, 2013 and not
greater than 45.0% on any date thereafter. |
Pursuant to the terms
of the Amended Credit Facility, we may not pay distributions that exceed the greater of (i) 95.0% of our funds from operations,
or (ii) the minimum amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT. If a default or event of default occurs
and is continuing, we also may be precluded from making certain distributions (other than those required to allow the Company
to qualify and maintain its status as a REIT). On September 30, 2014, the Company received a waiver with respect to the distribution
payout ratio for each distribution payout date through the end of 2015. The waiver was expressly conditioned on the following:
(i) no default or event of default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) as each test date during 2015, the payout ratio
shall be equal to or less than (A) 105% or (B) such greater amount as may be required by applicable law for the Company to maintain
its status of a REIT.
We and certain of
our subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under the Amended Credit Facility and we and certain of our subsidiaries have provided
a negative pledge against specified assets (including real property), stock and other interests.
As of September 30,
2014, we were in compliance with the above financial covenants with respect to our Amended Credit Facility. We intend to explore
alternatives for reducing our leverage and maintaining compliance with our financial covenants, including the possible issuance
of additional equity, sales of assets, cost controls or other measures.
Short-Term Liquidity Needs
We believe that we
will have sufficient capital resources as a result of operations and the borrowings in place to fund ongoing operations and distributions
required to maintain REIT compliance. We anticipate using our cash flow from continuing operations, cash and cash equivalents,
and Amended Credit Facility availability to fund our business operations, cash dividends and distributions, debt amortization,
and recurring capital expenditures. Capital requirements for significant acquisitions and development projects may require funding
from borrowings and/or equity offerings.
Long-Term Liquidity Needs
Our long-term liquidity
needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for non-recurring capital expenditures, potential acquisitions of properties
and payments of debt at maturity. Long-term liquidity needs may also include the payment of unexpected contingencies, such as
remediation of unknown environmental conditions at our properties or at additional properties that we develop or acquire, or renovations
necessary to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act or other regulatory requirements. In the future, we may seek additional
long-term secured and unsecured debt, including borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, the issuance of debt securities,
the issuance of equity securities and equity-related securities (including OP units), property dispositions and joint venture
transactions. We believe that we will have access to these sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, but
we cannot provide any assurance that this will be the case, especially in difficult market conditions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Joint Ventures
We have investments
in real estate ventures with the CB Investors, HSRE, Brandywine and Beaumont that are not consolidated by us. These joint ventures
are engaged primarily in developing, constructing, owning and managing student housing properties in the United States and Canada.
Along with the joint venture partners, we hold joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property acquisition
and disposition as well as property operations. As such, we hold noncontrolling interests in these joint ventures and account
for them under the equity method of accounting.
We are the guarantor
of the construction and mortgage debt and revolving credit facilities of our ventures with HSRE and Beaumont. Detail of our unconsolidated

been included in other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. |
Funds From Operations (FFO)
FFO is used by industry
analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition
that was adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income (loss) determined in accordance
with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating
real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments
for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, in October 2011, NAREIT communicated to its members that the
exclusion of impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate is consistent with the definition of FFO.
We use FFO as a supplemental
performance measure because, in excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property
dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental
rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will
be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation
and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor
the level of capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic
effects and could materially and adversely impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance
is limited.
While FFO is a relevant
and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating
FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to FFO published herein. Therefore, we believe
that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with
net income (loss) as presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements accompanying this report. FFO should not be
considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our properties’
financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity,
nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

presents a reconciliation of FFO to net income (loss) for the periods presented (in thousands):

In addition
to FFO, we believe it is also a meaningful measure of our performance to adjust FFO to exclude the transaction costs and
fair value of debt adjustments within our investment in Copper Beech. We believe that excluding these items adjusts FFO to be
more reflective of operating results prior to capital replacement or expansion, debt amortization of principal or other
commitments and contingencies. In addition, we also believe it is a meaningful measure of our performance to adjust FFO to
exclude impairment of unconsolidated entities, the effect of not exercising Copper Beech purchase option, impairment of land
and pre-development costs, write-off of corporate other assets, severance, discontinued operations and change in valuation
allowance for deferred tax asset. This measure is referred to herein as "FFOA."

Inflation
Our student housing
leases 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 any rising costs. However, our ability to raise rental rates could be limited by a weak economic environment, declining
student enrollment at our principal colleges and universities or competition in the marketplace.
ITEM 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
As of September 30,
2014, our Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate equal to, at our election, the Eurodollar Rate or the Base
Rate (each as defined in our revolving credit facility) plus a spread. The spread for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility
ranges from 1.75% to 2.50% for Eurodollar Rate based on borrowing and from 0.75% to 1.50% for Base Rate borrowings, and the spread
for the Term Loan ranges from 1.70% to 2.45% for Eurodollar Rate based borrowing and from 0.70% to 1.45% for Base Rate based borrowings.
At September 30, 2014, the spread on our Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan was 2.06% and 2.01%, respectively.
We are exposed to
market risk from changes in interest rates. We seek to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and
to lower the overall borrowing costs by closely monitoring our variable rate debt and converting such debt to fixed rates when
we deem such conversion advantageous. As of September 30, 2014, approximately $267.3 million of our aggregate indebtedness (50.3%
of total indebtedness) was subject to variable interest rates.
If market rates of
interest on our variable rate long-term debt fluctuate by 1.0%, interest cost would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement,
future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.7 million, assuming that the amount outstanding under our variable rate debt
remains at $267.3 million, the balance as of September 30, 2014.
We do and may in
the future, continue to use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to such variable
rate borrowings. We do not, and do not expect to, use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, and we expect to enter
into contracts only with major financial institutions.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls
and Procedures
As required by SEC
Rule 13a-15(b), we have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including
our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our
disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures for the periods covered by this report
were effective, as of September 30, 2014, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or
submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes
to our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 that materially affected, or
are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings
In addition to the
matter described below, we are involved in various routine legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Although
the outcomes of such routine legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate
resolution of such routine matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
On July 3, 2012,
we and certain of our subsidiaries were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed with the 250th Judicial District Court
in Travis County in Austin, Texas. The case arose from an accident at The Grove at Denton, located in Denton, Texas, in which
a balcony of one of the units broke and three people were seriously injured. The claims in the lawsuit against Campus Crest and
certain of its subsidiaries by the plaintiffs were settled in their entirety on July 29, 2014 without any admission of liability
on the part of Campus Crest or its subsidiaries. The settlement, which is covered by our existing insurance coverage, will
not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
