UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2006
(UNAUDITED)
|
|
| 1. |
CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. is a self-administered real
estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, acquires,
renovates, develops, and manages middle-market apartment
communities nationwide. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of United Dominion and its
subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the
Operating Partnership), and Heritage Communities
L.P. (the Heritage OP) (collectively,
United Dominion). As of March 31, 2006, there
were 166,300,080 units in the Operating Partnership
outstanding, of which 156,123,989 units or 94% were owned
by United Dominion and 10,176,091 units or 6% were owned by
limited partners (of which 1,764,662 are owned by the holders of
the Series A OPPS, see Note 6). As of March 31,
2006, there were 5,542,200 units in the Heritage OP
outstanding, of which 5,205,788 units or 94% were owned by
United Dominion and 336,412 units or 6% were owned by
limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of
United Dominion include the minority interests of the
unitholders in the Operating Partnership and the
Heritage OP. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared according to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations,
although management believes that the disclosures are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and related
notes appearing in United Dominions Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on March 7, 2006.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for the
fair presentation of financial position at March 31, 2006,
and results of operations for the interim periods ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005. Such adjustments are normal and
recurring in nature. The interim results presented are not
necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a
full year.
The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those
estimates. Certain previously reported amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current financial statement
presentation.
United Dominion adopted the fair-value-based method of
accounting for share-based payments effective January 1,
2004 using the prospective method described in FASB Statement
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation Transition and Disclosure. Prior
to the adoption of Statement 123(R), United Dominion used
the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock
options granted to employees and has continued to use this
acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of
Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Because
Statement 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but
to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the
effective date, and because United Dominion adopted
Statement 123 using the modified prospective transition
method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or
settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some
previously granted awards that were not recognized under
Statement 123 were recognized under Statement 123(R).
The adoption of the provisions of Statement 123(R) did not
have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
In June 2005, the FASB ratified its consensus in EITF
Issue 04-05,
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General
Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar
Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights
(Issue 04-05). The
effective date for
Issue 04-05 was
June 29, 2005 for all new or modified partnerships and
January 1, 2006 for our remaining partnerships for the
applicable provisions. We adopted the provisions of
Issue 04-05 on
January 1, 2006. The adoption of the provisions of
EITF 04-05 did not
have a material impact on our financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.

INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS |
FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144) requires,
among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and
the results of operations of United Dominions real
properties which have been sold subsequent to January 1,
2002, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1,
2002, be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in
United Dominions Consolidated Statements of Operations and
Balance Sheets. Properties classified as real estate held for
disposition generally represent properties that are actively
marketed or contracted for sale which are expected to close
within the next twelve months.
For purposes of these financial statements, FAS 144 results
in the presentation of the primary assets and liabilities and
the net operating results of those properties sold or classified
as held for disposition through March 31, 2006, as
discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption
of FAS 144 does not have an impact on net income available
to common stockholders. FAS 144 only results in the
reclassification of the operating results of all properties sold
or classified as held for disposition through March 31,
2006, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
reclassification of the assets and liabilities within the
Consolidated Balance Sheets for 2006 and 2005.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, United Dominion
sold 181 condominiums from four communities with a total of 612
condominiums. We recognized after-tax gains for financial
reporting purposes of $9.1 million on these sales. At
March 31, 2006, United Dominion had nine communities with a
total of 2,753 homes and a net book value of
$101.2 million, four communities with a total of 612
condominiums and a net book value of $16.6 million, and two
parcels of land with a net book value of $5.2 million
included in real estate held for disposition. During 2005,
United Dominion sold 22 communities with a total of 6,352
apartment homes, 240 condominiums from five communities with a
total of 648 condominiums, and one parcel of land. In
conjunction with the sale of ten communities in July 2005, we
received short-term notes for $124.7 million that bear
interest at 6.75% and had maturities ranging from

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS (Continued)
September 2005 to July 2006. As of March 31, 2006, the
balance on the notes receivable was $30.4 million. We
recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of
$6.2 million during the three months ended March 31,
2006, and will recognize $0.2 million in additional gains
in 2006 as the notes receivable mature and are paid. The results
of operations for these properties and the interest expense
associated with the secured debt on these properties are
classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the
line item titled Income from discontinued operations, net
of minority interests.
United Dominion has elected Taxable REIT Subsidiary
(TRS) status for certain of its corporate
subsidiaries, primarily those engaged in condominium conversion
and sale activities. United Dominion recognized a provision for
income taxes of $4.8 million and $0.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
These amounts were classified as reductions of the net gain on
sale of depreciable property in the following summary of income
from discontinued operations.

operations for the periods presented, (dollars in

During the first quarter of 2005, we prepaid approximately
$110 million of secured debt. In conjunction with these
prepayments, we incurred prepayment penalties of
$8.5 million in both continuing and discontinued operations
as Loss on early debt retirement. These penalties
were funded by the proceeds from the sale of our technology
investment of $12.3 million.

United Dominion has a three-year $500 million unsecured
revolving credit facility. The credit facility matures on
May 31, 2008, and at United Dominions option, can be
extended for an additional year. United Dominion has the right
to increase the credit facility to $750 million if the
initial lenders increase their commitments or we receive
commitments from additional lenders. Based on United
Dominions current credit ratings, the credit facility
carries an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a spread of
57.5 basis points, which represents a 12.5 basis point
reduction to the previous unsecured revolver, and the facility
fee was reduced from 20 basis points to 15 basis
points. Under a competitive bid feature and for so long as
United Dominion maintains an Investment Grade Rating, United
Dominion has the right to bid out 100% of the commitment amount. |

| (b) |
Represents deferred gains from the termination of interest rate

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based upon
common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock
options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially
dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the
treasury stock method based on United Dominions average
stock price.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and
diluted earnings per share for the periods presented,
(dollars in thousands, except per share data):

The effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units,
Series A Out-Performance Partnership Shares, and
convertible preferred stock is not dilutive and is therefore not
included in the above calculations. If the operating partnership
units were converted to common stock, the additional shares of
common stock outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, would be 8,753,433 and 8,518,057
weighted average common shares, respectively. If the
Series A Out-Performance Partnership Shares were converted
to common stock, the additional shares of common stock
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, would be 1,764,662 and 1,791,329 weighted average common
shares, respectively. If the convertible preferred stock were
converted to common stock, the additional shares of common stock
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and
2005, would be 2,803,812 weighted average common shares.
Total comprehensive income for the three months ended
March 31, 2006 and 2005, was $12.0 million and
$14.9 million, respectively. There is no difference between
net income and total comprehensive income for the periods
presented.

Contingencies

|
|
Series C Out-Performance Program |
In May 2005, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the
Series C Out-Performance Program (the Series C
Program) pursuant to which certain executive officers and
other key employees of United Dominion (the Series C
Participants) were given the opportunity to invest
indirectly in United Dominion by purchasing interests in UDR
Out-Performance III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (the Series C LLC), the only asset of
which is a special class of partnership units of United Dominion
Realty, L.P. (Series C Out-Performance Partnership
Shares or Series C OPPSs). The purchase
price for the Series C OPPSs was determined by the
Compensation Committee of United Dominions board of
directors to be $750,000, assuming 100% participation, and was
based upon the advice of an independent valuation expert. The
Series C Program will measure the cumulative total return
on our common stock over the
36-month period from
June 1, 2005 to May 30, 2008.
The Series C Program is designed to provide participants
with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment
if the total cumulative return on United Dominions common
stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid
plus share price appreciation during the measurement period is
at least the equivalent of a 36% total return, or 12% annualized
(Minimum Return).
At the conclusion of the measurement period, if United
Dominions total cumulative return satisfies these
criteria, the Series C LLC as holder of the Series C
OPPSs will receive (for the indirect benefit of the
Series C Participants as holders of interests in the
Series C LLC) distributions and allocations of income and
loss from the Operating Partnership equal to the distributions
and allocations that would be received on the number of
OP Units obtained by:
|
|
| |
i. determining the amount by which the cumulative total
return of United Dominions common stock over the
measurement period exceeds the Minimum Return (such excess being
the Excess Return); |
| |
| |
ii. multiplying 2% of the Excess Return by United
Dominions market capitalization (defined as the average
number of shares outstanding over the
36-month period,
including common stock, OP Units, and common stock
equivalents) multiplied by the daily closing price of United
Dominions common stock, up to a maximum of 1% of market
capitalization; and |
| |
| |
iii. dividing the number obtained in (ii) by the
market value of one share of United Dominions common stock
on the valuation date, determined by the volume-weighted average
price per day of common stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding the valuation date. |
If, on the valuation date, the cumulative total return of United
Dominions common stock does not meet the Minimum Return,
then the Series C Participants will forfeit their entire
initial investment.
Based on the results through March 31, 2006, no
Series C OPPSs would have been issued had the program
terminated on that date. However, since the ultimate
determination of Series C OPPSs to be issued will not occur
until May 2008, and the number of Series C OPPSs is
determinable only upon future events, the financial statements
do not reflect any impact for these events.

Series D Out-Performance Program |
In February 2006, the board of directors of United Dominion
approved the Series D Out-Performance Program (the
Series D Program), pursuant to which certain
executive officers and other key employees of United Dominion
(the Series D Participants) were given the
opportunity to invest indirectly in United Dominion by
purchasing interests in UDR Out-Performance IV, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (the Series D LLC),
the only asset of which is a special class of partnership units
of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (Series D
Out-Performance Partnership Shares or Series D
OPPSs). The Series D Program is part of the New
Out-Performance Program approved by United Dominions
stockholders in May 2005. The Series D LLC has agreed to
sell 830,000 membership units to members of United
Dominions senior management at a price of $1.00 per
unit. The aggregate purchase price of $830,000 for the
Series D OPPSs, assuming 100% participation, is based upon
the advice of an independent valuation expert. The Series D
Program will measure the cumulative total return on our common
stock over the 36-month
period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2008.
The Series D Program is designed to provide participants
with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment
if the total cumulative return on United Dominions common
stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid
plus share price appreciation during the measurement period is
at least the equivalent of a 36% total return, or 12% annualized

OPPSs will receive (for the indirect benefit of the
Series D Participants as holders of interests in the
Series D LLC) distributions and allocations of income and

including common stock, OP Units, and common stock
equivalents) multiplied by the daily closing price of United
Dominions common stock, up to a maximum of 1% of market
capitalization; and |

iii. dividing the number obtained in (ii) by the
market value of one share of United Dominions common stock
on the valuation date, computed as the volume-weighted average
price per day of the common stock for the 20 trading days
immediately preceding the valuation date. |
If, on the valuation date, the cumulative total return of United
Dominions common stock does not meet the Minimum Return,
then the Series D Participants will forfeit their entire
initial investment.
Based on the results through March 31, 2006, no
Series D OPPSs would have been issued had the program
terminated on that date. However, since the ultimate

determinable only upon future events, the financial statements
do not reflect any impact for these events.
Litigation and Legal Matters
United Dominion is subject to various legal proceedings and
claims arising in the ordinary course of business. United
Dominion cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to
such legal proceedings and claims at this time. United Dominion
believes that such liability, to the extent not provided for
through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flow.

unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of United

The following factors, among others, could cause our future
results to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements:
|
|
|
| |
|
unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions
that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates, |
| |
| |
|
the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results, |
| |
| |
|
possible difficulty in selling apartment communities, |
| |
| |
|
the timing and closing of planned dispositions under agreement, |
| |
| |
|
competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease
apartment homes or increase or maintain rents, |
| |
| |
|
insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and
create refinancing risk, |
| |
| |
|
failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our
debt service payments and distributions to stockholders, |
| |
| |
|
development and construction risks that may impact our
profitability, |
| |
| |
|
potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes
and other weather-related events, which could result in
substantial costs, |
| |
| |
|
risks from extraordinary losses for which we may not have
insurance, |
| |
| |
|
uninsured losses due to insurance deductibles, self-insurance
retention, uninsured claims or casualties, or losses in excess
of applicable coverage, |
| |
| |
|
delays in completing developments and lease-ups on schedule, |
| |
| |
|
our failure to succeed in new markets, |
| |
| |
|
changing interest rates, which could increase interest costs and
affect the market price of our securities, |
| |
| |
|
potential liability for environmental contamination, which could
result in substantial costs, |
| |
| |
|
the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT
in any taxable year, |
| |
| |
|
our internal control over financial reporting may not be
considered effective which could result in a loss of investor
confidence in our financial reports, and in turn have an adverse
effect on our stock price, and |
| |
| |
|
changes in real estate tax and other laws. |
A discussion of these and other factors affecting our business
and prospects is set forth below in Part II, Item 1A.
Risk Factors. We encourage investors to review these risks
factors.
14
Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the
forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any
of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore such
statements included in this Report may not prove to be accurate.
In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by
us or any other person that the results or conditions described
in such statements or our objectives and plans will be achieved.
Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial
obligations either through operating cash flows, the sale or
maturity of existing assets, or by the acquisition of additional
funds through capital management. Both the coordination of asset
and liability maturities and effective capital management are
important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of
liquidity is our cash flow from operations as determined by
rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related
to our portfolio of apartment homes. We routinely use our
unsecured bank credit facility to temporarily fund certain
investing and financing activities prior to arranging for
longer-term financing. During the past several years, proceeds
from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing
and financing activities.
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements
generally through net cash provided by operations and borrowings
under credit arrangements. We expect to meet certain long-term
liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities, the
repayment of financing on development activities, and potential
property acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured
borrowings, the disposition of properties, and the issuance of
additional debt or equity securities. We believe that our net
cash provided by operations will continue to be adequate to meet
both operating requirements and the payment of dividends by the
company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short-
and long-term.
Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and
renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from
property operations.
We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission which provides for the issuance of an
indeterminate amount of common stock, preferred stock, debt
securities, warrants, purchase contracts and units to facilitate
future financing activities in the public capital markets.
Access to capital markets is dependent on market conditions at
the time of issuance.
16
Future Capital Needs
Future development expenditures are expected to be funded with
proceeds from the sale of property, with construction loans,
through joint ventures and, to a lesser extent, with cash flows
provided by operating activities. Acquisition activity in
strategic markets is expected to be largely financed through the
issuance of equity and debt securities, the issuance of
operating partnership units, the assumption or placement of
secured and/or unsecured debt, and by the reinvestment of
proceeds from the sale of properties.
During the remainder of 2006, we have approximately
$35.2 million of secured debt and $110.5 million of
unsecured debt maturing and we anticipate repaying that debt
with proceeds from borrowings under our secured or unsecured
credit facilities, the issuance of new unsecured debt securities
or equity, or from disposition proceeds.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies are those having the most
impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results
and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. These
policies include those related to (1) capital expenditures,
(2) impairment of long-lived assets, and (3) real
estate investment properties. Our critical accounting policies
are described in more detail in the section entitled
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2005. There have been no
significant changes in our critical accounting policies from
those reported in our 2005 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. With
respect to these critical accounting policies, we believe that
the application of judgments and assessments is consistently
applied and produces financial information that fairly depicts
the results of operations for all periods presented.
Statements of Cash Flow
The following discussion explains the changes in net cash
provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing
and financing activities that are presented in our Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, our cash flow
provided by operating activities was $32.2 million compared
to $50.4 million for the same period in 2005. The decrease
in cash flow from operating activities resulted primarily from a
$13.0 million net decrease in operating assets/liabilities
for the period, a decrease of $12.3 million in other income
due to a 2005 sale of a technology investment, and a
$4.9 million increase in interest expense, all of which was
offset by an $8.5 million decrease in prepayment penalties
and a $4.3 million increase in property operating income
from our apartment community portfolio (see discussion under
Apartment Community Operations).
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, net cash used in
investing activities was $21.0 million compared to
$71.2 million for the same period in 2005. Changes in the
level of investing activities from period to period reflects our
strategy as it relates to our acquisition, capital expenditure,
development, and disposition programs, as well as the impact of
the capital market environment on these activities, all of which
are discussed in further detail below.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we acquired
one apartment community with 160 apartment homes in Plano,
Texas, that is adjacent to one of our existing communities. Our
long-term strategic plan is to achieve greater operating
efficiencies by investing in fewer, more concentrated markets.
17
As a result, we have been expanding our interests in the fast
growing Southern California, Florida, and Metropolitan DC
markets over the past three years. During 2006, we plan to
continue to channel new investments into those markets that we
believe will provide the best investment returns. Markets will
be targeted based upon defined criteria including past
performance, expected job growth, current and anticipated
housing supply and demand, and the ability to attract and
support household formation.
In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States, we capitalize those expenditures related to
acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an
existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an
existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing
property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as
incurred.
During the first three months of 2006, we spent
$48.0 million or $647 per home on capital expenditures
for all of our communities, excluding development and commercial
properties. These capital improvements included turnover related
expenditures for floor coverings and appliances, other recurring
capital expenditures such as HVAC equipment, roofs, siding,
parking lots, and other non-revenue enhancing capital
expenditures, which aggregated $4.7 million or $63 per
home. In addition, revenue enhancing capital expenditures,
kitchen and bath upgrades, and other extensive interior upgrades
totaled $34.5 million or $466 per home and major
renovations totaled $8.8 million or $118 per home for
the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and
maintenance costs for all of our communities, excluding real
estate under development and commercial properties, for the
periods presented:

Total capital improvements increased $21.5 million or
$306 per home for the three months ended March 31,
2006 compared to the same period in 2005. This increase was
attributable to $8.8 million of major renovations at
certain of our properties. These renovations may include the
re-wiring and/or
re-plumbing of an
entire building as well as major structural changes and/or
architectural revisions to existing buildings. The increase was
also attributable to an additional $17.8 million being
invested in revenue enhancing improvements compared to the same
period in 2005. We will continue to selectively add revenue
enhancing improvements which we believe will provide a return on
investment substantially in excess of our cost of capital.
Recurring capital expenditures during 2006 are currently
expected to be approximately $530 per home.

Real Estate Under Development |
Development activity is focused in core markets in which we have
strong operations in place. For the three months ended
March 31, 2006, we invested approximately
$12.6 million on development projects, an increase of
$2.8 million from $9.8 million for the same period in
2005.
The following projects were under development as of

In addition, we own four parcels of land that we continue to
hold for future development that had a carrying value at
March 31, 2006 of $21.0 million
|

|
Disposition of Investments |
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, United Dominion
sold 181 condominiums from four communities with a total of 612
condominiums for a gross consideration of $36.4 million. We
recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of
$9.1 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were
used primarily to reduce debt.
During 2006, we plan to continue to pursue our strategy of
exiting markets where long-term growth prospects are limited and
redeploying capital into markets that would enhance future
growth rates and economies of scale. We intend to use the
proceeds from 2006 dispositions to reduce debt, acquire
communities, and fund development activity.
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three
months ended March 31, 2006, was $9.6 million compared
to $14.6 million for the same period in 2005. As part of
the plan to improve our balance sheet, we utilized proceeds from
dispositions to pay down existing debt and purchase new
properties.
The following is a summary of our financing activities for the
three months ended March 31, 2006:
|
|
|
| |
|
Repaid $1.0 million of secured debt and $24.8 million
of unsecured debt. |
| |
| |
|
Authorized a new 10 million share repurchase program in
February 2006. This program replaces our previous
11 million share program under which we repurchased
approximately 10 million shares. |
Credit Facilities
We have four secured revolving credit facilities with Fannie Mae
with an aggregate commitment of $860 million. As of
March 31, 2006, $656.3 million was outstanding under
the Fannie Mae credit facilities leaving $203.7 million of
unused capacity. The Fannie Mae credit facilities are for an
initial term of ten
19
years, bear interest at floating and fixed rates, and can be
extended for an additional five years at our discretion. We have
$363.9 million of the funded balance fixed at a weighted
average interest rate of 6.1%. The remaining balance on these
facilities currently bears interest at a weighted average
variable rate of 5.1%.
We have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility
that matures in May 2008, and, at our option, can be extended an
additional year. We have the right to increase the credit
facility to $750 million under certain circumstances. Based
on our current credit ratings, the credit facility bears
interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 57.5 basis points.
As of March 31, 2006, $284.2 million was outstanding
under the credit facility leaving $215.8 million of unused
capacity.
The Fannie Mae credit facility and the bank revolving credit
facility are subject to customary financial covenants and
limitations.

Funds from Operations
Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of
depreciable property, plus real estate depreciation and
amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods
presented in accordance with the recommendations set forth by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(NAREIT) April 1, 2002 White Paper. We consider
FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and our operating
performance, and believe that FFO should be considered along
with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as
a measure of our activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. FFO does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative
of cash available to fund cash needs.
Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles implicitly assumes
that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen
or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and
analysts have considered the presentation of operating results
for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to
be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a
supplemental measure of REIT operating performance and defines
FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States), excluding
gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The use of FFO,
combined with the required presentations, has been fundamentally
beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of
REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT
operating results more meaningful. We generally consider FFO to
be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and
financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in
conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of
performance) because by excluding gains or losses related to
sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and
excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO
can help one compare the operating
20
performance of a companys real estate between periods or
as compared to different companies. We believe that FFO is the
best measure of economic profitability for real estate
investment trusts.

reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles for

In the computation of diluted FFO, OP units, out-performance
partnership shares, and the shares of Series E Cumulative
Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive; therefore, they are
included in the diluted share count
Net incremental gains on the sale of condominium homes is
defined as net sales proceeds less a tax provision and the gross
investment basis of the asset before accumulated depreciation.
We consider FFO with gains/losses on the sale of condominium
homes to be a meaningful supplemental measure of performance
because the short-term use of funds produce a profit that
differs from the traditional long-term investment in real estate
for REITs.

FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating
activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and therefore should not be considered an
alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as
determined by generally accepted accounting principles, as a
measure of liquidity. Additionally, it is not necessarily
indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs.

Results of Operations
The following discussion includes the results of both continuing
and discontinued operations for the periods presented.
|
|
|
Net Income Available to Common Stockholders |
Net income available to common stockholders was
$8.2 million ($0.06 per diluted share) for the
three months ended March 31, 2006, compared to
$11.1 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the same
period in the prior year. The decrease for the three months
ended March 31, 2006, when compared to the
22
same period in 2005, resulted primarily from the following
items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere
within this Report:
|
|
|
| |
|
an $11.8 million decrease in non-property income, and |
| |
| |
|
an $7.0 million increase in real estate depreciation and
amortization expense, and |
| |
| |
|
a $4.9 million increase in interest expense. |
These decreases in income were partially offset by a
$8.3 million more in gains recognized from the sale of
depreciable property, $8.5 million less in losses on early
debt retirements, and a $4.3 million increase in apartment
community operating results during the first quarter of 2006
when compared to the same period in 2005.
|
|
|
Apartment Community Operations |
Our net income is primarily generated from the operation of our
apartment communities. The following table summarizes the

Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and
stabilized prior to March 31, 2005, and held on
March 31, 2006, which consisted of 66,306 apartment homes)
provided 89% of our property operating income for the three
months ended March 31, 2006.
23
For the first quarter of 2006, same community property operating
income increased 6.6% or $6.2 million compared to the same
period in 2005. The increase in property operating income was
primarily attributable to a 6.3% or $9.5 million increase
in revenues from rental and other income that was offset by a
5.7% or $3.3 million increase in operating expenses. The
increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily
driven by a 4.1% or $6.4 million increase in rental rates,
a 26.1% or $1.0 million decrease in concession expense, an
8.8% or $0.8 million decrease in vacancy loss, and a 13.5%
or $1.4 million increase in utility reimbursement income
and fee income. Physical occupancy increased 0.6% to 94.8%.
The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven
by a 14.7% or $1.3 million increase in utility costs, a
6.6% or $1.0 million increase in real estate taxes, and a
31.2% or $0.8 million increase in insurance costs.
As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income
and property operating expenses, the operating margin (property
operating income divided by property rental income) increased
0.2% to 62.1%.
The remaining 11% of our property operating income during the
first three months of 2006 was generated from communities that
we classify as non-mature communities (primarily
those communities acquired or developed in 2005 and 2006, sold
properties (if any), and those properties classified as real
estate held for disposition). The nine communities with 2,721
apartment homes that we acquired in 2005 and 2006 provided
$5.9 million of property operating income. The nine
communities with 2,753 apartment homes and four communities with
203 condominiums classified as real estate held for disposition
provided $2.4 million of property operating income. Other
non-mature communities provided $4.0 million of property
operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, real estate
depreciation and amortization on both continuing and
discontinued operations increased 13.5% or $7.0 million,
compared to the same period in 2005, primarily due to the
significant increase in per home acquisition cost compared to
the existing portfolio and other capital expenditures.
Interest Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, interest expense
on both continuing and discontinued operations increased 12.6%
or $4.9 million compared to the same period in 2005
primarily due to the issuance of debt and higher interest rates.
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the weighted
average amount of debt outstanding increased 12.3% or
$350.5 million compared to the same period in 2005 and the
weighted average interest rate increased from 5.2% to 5.4%
during 2006. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding
during 2006 is higher than 2005 as acquisition costs in 2005 and
in 2006 have been funded, in most part, by the issuance of debt.
The increase in the weighted average interest rate during 2006
reflects short-term bank borrowings and variable rate debt that
had higher interest rates when compared to the prior period.
General and Administrative
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, general and
administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million or 3.4%
compared to the same period in 2005. This decrease was primarily
due to an overall decrease in incentive compensation expense
partially offset by growth in salaries, benefits and general
expenses.
Gains on the Sales of Land and Depreciable Property
For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized
after-tax gains for financial reporting purposes of
$15.3 million compared to $7.0 million for the
comparable period in 2005. Changes in the
24
level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the
changing level of our divestiture activity from period to
period, as well as the extent of gains related to specific
properties sold.
Inflation
We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our
operations have been immaterial. While inflation primarily
impacts our results through wage pressures, utilities and
materials costs, substantially all of our leases are for a term
of one year or less, which generally enables us to compensate
for inflationary effects by increasing rents. Although extreme
growth in energy prices could have a negative impact on our
residents and their ability to absorb rent increases, this has
not had a material impact on our results.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or
are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our
financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures
or capital resources that are material.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
United Dominion is exposed to interest rate changes associated
with our unsecured credit facility and other variable rate debt
as well as refinancing risk on our fixed rate debt. United
Dominions involvement with derivative financial
instruments is limited and we do not expect to use them for
trading or other speculative purposes. In prior periods, United
Dominion had used derivative instruments solely to manage its
exposure to interest rates.
See our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 Item 7A.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
for a more complete discussion of our interest rate sensitive
assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2006, our market
risk has not changed materially from the amounts reported on our
Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005.
|
|
| Item 4. |
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
As of March 31, 2006, we carried out an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures
are designed with the objective of ensuring that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
SECs rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely
alerting them to material information required to be included in
our periodic SEC reports. In addition, our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that during
the quarter ended March 31, 2006, there has been no change
in our internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our
internal control over financial reporting is designed with the
objective of providing reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is
based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of
future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective under
circumstances where our disclosure controls and procedures
should reasonably be expected to operate effectively.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
There are many factors that affect our business and our results
of operations, some of which are beyond our control. The
following is a description of important factors that may cause
our actual results of operations in future periods to differ
materially from those currently expected or discussed in
forward-looking statements set forth in this Report relating to
our financial results, operations and business prospects. Except
as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any
such forward-looking statements to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which it is made.
Unfavorable Changes in Apartment Market and Economic
Conditions Could Adversely Affect Occupancy Levels and Rental
Rates. Market and economic conditions in the metropolitan
areas in which we operate may significantly affect our occupancy
levels and rental rates and, therefore, our profitability.
Factors that may adversely affect these conditions include the
following:
|
|
|
| |
|
a reduction in jobs and other local economic downturns, |
| |
| |
|
declines in mortgage interest rates, making alternative housing
more affordable, |
| |
| |
|
government or builder incentives which enable first time
homebuyers to put little or no money down, making alternative
housing decisions easier to make, |
| |
| |
|
oversupply of, or reduced demand for, apartment homes, |
| |
| |
|
declines in household formation, and |
| |
| |
|
rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating
rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to
offset increases in operating costs. |
The strength of the United States economy has become
increasingly susceptible to global events and threats of
terrorism. At the same time, productivity enhancements and the
increased exportation of labor have resulted in limited job
growth despite an improving economy. Continued weakness in job
creation, or any worsening of current economic conditions,
generally and in our principal market areas, could have a
material adverse effect on our occupancy levels, our rental
rates and our ability to strategically acquire and dispose of
apartment communities. This may impair our ability to satisfy
our financial obligations and pay distributions to our
stockholders.
New Acquisitions, Developments and Condominium Projects May
Not Achieve Anticipated Results. We intend to continue to
selectively acquire apartment communities that meet our
investment criteria and to develop apartment communities for
rental operations, to convert properties into condominiums and
to develop condominium projects. Our acquisition, development
and condominium activities and their success are subject to the
following risks:
|
|
|
| |
|
an acquired community may fail to perform as we expected in
analyzing our investment, or a significant exposure related to
the acquired property may go undetected during our due diligence
procedures, |
| |
| |
|
when we acquire an apartment community, we often invest
additional amounts in it with the intention of increasing
profitability. These additional investments may not produce the
anticipated improvements in profitability, |
| |
| |
|
new developments may not achieve pro forma rents or occupancy
levels, or problems with construction or local building codes
may delay initial occupancy dates for all or a portion of a
development community, and |
| |
| |
|
an over supply of condominiums in a given market may cause a
decrease in the prices at which we expect to sell condominium
properties. |
26
Possible Difficulty of Selling Apartment Communities Could
Limit Operational and Financial Flexibility. We periodically
dispose of apartment communities that no longer meet our
strategic objectives, but market conditions could change and
purchasers may not be willing to pay prices acceptable to us. A
weak market may limit our ability to change our portfolio
promptly in response to changing economic conditions.
Furthermore, a significant portion of the proceeds from our
overall property sales may be held by intermediaries in order
for some sales to qualify as like-kind exchanges under
Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, so that any
related capital gain can be deferred for federal income tax
purposes. As a result, we may not have immediate access to all
of the cash flow generated from our property sales. In addition,
federal tax laws limit our ability to profit on the sale of
communities that we have owned for fewer than four years, and
this limitation may prevent us from selling communities when
market conditions are favorable.
Increased Competition Could Limit Our Ability to Lease
Apartment Homes or Increase or Maintain Rents. Our apartment
communities compete with numerous housing alternatives in
attracting residents, including other apartment communities and
single-family rental homes, as well as owner occupied single-and
multi-family homes. Competitive housing in a particular area
could adversely affect our ability to lease apartment homes and
increase or maintain rents.
Insufficient Cash Flow Could Affect Our Debt Financing and
Create Refinancing Risk. We are subject to the risks
normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that
our operating income and cash flow will be insufficient to make
required payments of principal and interest, or could restrict
our borrowing capacity under our line of credit due to debt
covenant restraints. Sufficient cash flow may not be available
to make all required principal payments and still satisfy our
distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT for
federal income tax purposes, and the full limits of our line of
credit may not be available to us if our operating performance
falls outside the constraints of our debt covenants.
Additionally, we are likely to need to refinance substantially
all of our outstanding debt as it matures. We may not be able to
refinance existing debt, or the terms of any refinancing may not
be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt, which could
create pressures to sell assets or to issue additional equity
when we would otherwise not choose to do so.
Failure to Generate Sufficient Revenue Could Impair Debt
Service Payments and Distributions to Stockholders. If our
apartment communities do not generate sufficient net rental
income to meet rental expenses, our ability to make required
payments of interest and principal on our debt securities and to
pay distributions to our stockholders will be adversely
affected. The following factors, among others, may affect the
net rental income generated by our apartment communities:
|
|
|
| |
|
the national and local economies, |
| |
| |
|
local real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply of
apartment homes, |
| |
| |
|
tenants perceptions of the safety, convenience, and
attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where
they are located, |
| |
| |
|
our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and
insurance, and |
| |
| |
|
rental expenses, including real estate taxes and utilities. |
Expenses associated with our investment in a community, such as
debt service, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance
costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a
reduction in rental income from that community. If a community
is mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make
the mortgage payments, we could sustain a loss as a result of
foreclosure on the community or the exercise of other remedies
by the mortgage holder.
Debt Level May Be Increased. Our current debt policy
does not contain any limitations on the level of debt that we
may incur, although our ability to incur debt is limited by
covenants in our bank and other credit agreements. We manage our
debt to be in compliance with these debt covenants, but subject
to compliance with these covenants, we may increase the amount
of our debt at any time without a concurrent improvement in our
ability to service the additional debt.
27
Financing May Not Be Available and Could be Dilutive. Our
ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access
to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured
lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt,
and equity financing, including common and preferred equity.
Debt or equity financing may not be available in sufficient
amounts, or on favorable terms or at all. If we issue additional
equity securities to finance developments and acquisitions
instead of incurring debt, the interests of our existing
stockholders could be diluted.
Development and Construction Risks Could Impact Our
Profitability. We intend to continue to develop and
construct apartment communities. Development activities may be
conducted through wholly owned affiliated companies or through
joint ventures with unaffiliated parties. Our development and
construction activities may be exposed to the following risks:
|
|
|
| |
|
we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining,
necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other
required governmental permits and authorizations, which could
result in increased development costs and could require us to
abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project for
which we are unable to obtain permits or authorizations, |
| |
| |
|
if we are unable to find joint venture partners to help fund the
development of a community or otherwise obtain acceptable
financing for the developments, our development capacity may be
limited, |
| |
| |
|
we may abandon development opportunities that we have already
begun to explore, and we may fail to recover expenses already
incurred in connection with exploring such opportunities, |
| |
| |
|
we may be unable to complete construction and
lease-up of a community
on schedule, or incur development or construction costs that
exceed our original estimates, and we may be unable to charge
rents that would compensate for any increase in such costs, |
| |
| |
|
occupancy rates and rents at a newly developed community may
fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and
economic conditions, preventing us from meeting our
profitability goals for that community, and |
| |
| |
|
when we sell to third parties homes or properties that we
developed or renovated, we may be subject to warranty or
construction defect claims that are uninsured or exceed the
limits of our insurance. |
Construction costs have been increasing in our existing markets,
and the costs of upgrading acquired communities have, in some
cases, exceeded our original estimates. We may experience
similar cost increases in the future. Our inability to charge
rents that will be sufficient to offset the effects of any
increases in these costs may impair our profitability.
Some Potential Losses Are Not Covered by Insurance. We
have a comprehensive insurance program covering our property and
operating activities. We believe the policy specifications and
insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate.
There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses for
which we may not have insurance. Accordingly, we may sustain
uninsured losses due to insurance deductibles, self-insured
retention, uninsured claims or casualties, or losses in excess
of applicable coverage.
We may not be able to renew insurance coverage in an adequate
amount or at reasonable prices. In addition, insurance companies
may no longer offer coverage against certain types of losses,
such as losses due to terrorist acts and mold, or, if offered,
these types of insurance may be prohibitively expensive. If an
uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occur, we
could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a
property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the
property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain
obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligations
related to the property. Material losses in excess of insurance
proceeds may occur in the future. If one or more of our
significant properties were to experience a catastrophic loss,
it could seriously disrupt our operations, delay revenue and
result in large expenses to repair or rebuild the property. Such
events could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to make
distributions to stockholders.
28
Failure to Succeed in New Markets May Limit Our Growth.
We may from time to time make acquisitions outside of our
existing market areas if appropriate opportunities arise. We may
be exposed to a variety of risks if we choose to enter new
markets, and we may not be able to operate successfully in new
markets. These risks include, among others:
|
|
|
| |
|
inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market
conditions and local economies, |
| |
| |
|
inability to obtain land for development or to identify
appropriate acquisition opportunities, |
| |
| |
|
inability to hire and retain key personnel, and |
| |
| |
|
lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting
procedures. |
Changing Interest Rates Could Increase Interest Costs and
Adversely Affect Our Cash Flow and the Market Price of Our
Securities. We currently have, and expect to incur in the
future, interest-bearing debt at rates that vary with market
interest rates. As of March 31, 2006, we had approximately
$658 million of variable rate indebtedness outstanding,
which constitutes approximately 20% of our total outstanding
indebtedness as of such date. An increase in interest rates
would increase our interest expenses to the extent our variable
rate debt is not hedged effectively, and it would increase the
costs of refinancing existing indebtedness and of issuing new
debt. Accordingly, higher interest rates could adversely affect
cash flow and our ability to service our debt and to make
distributions to security holders. In addition, an increase in
market interest rates may lead our security holders to demand a
higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market
price of our common and preferred stock and debt securities.
Risk of Inflation/ Deflation. Substantial inflationary or
deflationary pressures could have a negative effect on rental
rates and property operating expenses.
Limited Investment Opportunities Could Adversely Affect Our
Growth. We expect that other real estate investors will
compete with us to acquire existing properties and to develop
new properties. These competitors include insurance companies,
pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment
companies and other apartment REITs. This competition could
increase prices for properties of the type that we would likely
pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources than we
do. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive
investments on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our
growth.
Failure to Integrate Acquired Communities and New Personnel
Could Create Inefficiencies. To grow successfully, we must
be able to apply our experience in managing our existing
portfolio of apartment communities to a larger number of
properties. In addition, we must be able to integrate new
management and operations personnel as our organization grows in
size and complexity. Failures in either area will result in
inefficiencies that could adversely affect our expected return
on our investments and our overall profitability.
Interest Rate Hedging Contracts May Be Ineffective and May
Result in Material Charges. From time to time when we
anticipate issuing debt securities, we may seek to limit our
exposure to fluctuations in interest rates during the period
prior to the pricing of the securities by entering into interest
rate hedging contracts. We may do this to increase the
predictability of our financing costs. Also, from time to time
we may rely on interest rate hedging contracts to limit our
exposure under variable rate debt to unfavorable changes in
market interest rates. If the terms of new debt securities are
not within the parameters of, or market interest rates fall
below that which we incur under a particular interest rate
hedging contract, the contract is ineffective. Furthermore, the
settlement of interest rate hedging contracts has involved and
may in the future involve material charges.
Potential Liability for Environmental Contamination Could
Result in Substantial Costs. Under various federal, state
and local environmental laws, as a current or former owner or
operator of real estate, we could be required to investigate and
remediate the effects of contamination of currently or formerly
owned real estate by hazardous or toxic substances, often
regardless of our knowledge of or responsibility for the
contamination and solely by virtue of our current or former
ownership or operation of the real estate. In addition, we could
be held liable to a governmental authority or to third parties
for property
29
damage and for investigation and
clean-up costs incurred
in connection with the contamination. These costs could be
substantial, and in many cases environmental laws create liens
in favor of governmental authorities to secure their payment.
The presence of such substances or a failure to properly
remediate any resulting contamination could materially and
adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an
affected property.
We Would Incur Adverse Tax Consequences if We Fail to Qualify
as a REIT. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code. Our qualification as a REIT requires us
to satisfy numerous requirements, some on an annual and
quarterly basis, established under highly technical and complex
Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only
limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and involves
the determination of various factual matters and circumstances
not entirely within our control. We intend that our current
organization and method of operation enable us to continue to
qualify as a REIT, but we may not so qualify or we may not be
able to remain so qualified in the future. In addition,
U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs and other
corporations and the administrative interpretations of those
laws may be amended at any time, potentially with retroactive
effect. Future legislation, new regulations, administrative
interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect our
ability to qualify as a REIT or adversely affect our
stockholders.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be
subject to federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at regular
corporate rates, and would not be allowed to deduct dividends
paid to our stockholders in computing our taxable income. Also,
unless the Internal Revenue Service granted us relief under
certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from
treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the
year in which we first failed to qualify. The additional tax
liability from the failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce or
eliminate the amount of cash available for investment or
distribution to our stockholders. This would likely have a
significant adverse effect on the value of our securities and
our ability to raise additional capital. In addition, we would
no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders.
Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be
subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income
and property.
We May Conduct a Portion of Our Business Through Taxable REIT
Subsidiaries, Which are Subject to Certain Tax Risks. We
have established several taxable REIT subsidiaries. Despite our
qualification as a REIT, our taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay
income tax on their taxable income. In addition, we must comply
with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes, and our income from and investments in our
taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute
permissible income and investments for these tests. While we
will attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT
subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification,
we cannot provide assurance that we will successfully achieve
that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty
tax, we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on
real property sales, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be
denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable
REIT subsidiaries are not deemed to be arms length in
nature or are otherwise not respected.
Certain Property Transfers May Generate Prohibited
Transaction Income, Resulting in a Penalty Tax on Gain
Attributable to the Transaction. From time to time, we may
transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under
the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers of
properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to
customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as
income from a prohibited transaction subject to a 100% penalty
tax. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we do
not believe that our occasional transfers or disposals of
property are prohibited transactions. However, whether property
is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that
depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the
particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend
that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are
prohibited transactions. If the Internal Revenue Service were to
argue successfully that a transfer or disposition of property
constituted a prohibited transaction, then we would be required
to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the
prohibited transaction and we may jeopardize our ability to
retain future
30
gains on real property sales. In addition, income from a
prohibited transaction might adversely affect our ability to
satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes.
Changes in Market Conditions, and Volatility of Stock Prices
Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of Our Common Stock.
The stock markets, including the New York Stock Exchange, on
which we list our common shares, have experienced significant
price and volume fluctuations. As a result, the market price of
our common stock could be similarly volatile, and investors in
our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their
shares, including decreases unrelated to our operating
performance or prospects.
Property Ownership Through Joint Ventures May Limit Our
Ability to Act Exclusively in Our Interest. We have in the
past and may in the future develop and acquire properties in
joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe
circumstances warrant the use of such structures. If we use such
a structure, we could become engaged in a dispute with one or
more of our joint venture partners that might affect our ability
to operate a jointly-owned property. Moreover, joint venture
partners may have business, economic or other objectives that
are inconsistent with our objectives, including objectives that
relate to the appropriate timing and terms of any sale or
refinancing of a property. In some instances, joint venture
partners may have competing interests in our markets that could
create conflicts of interest.
Real Estate Tax and Other Laws. Generally we do not
directly pass through costs resulting from compliance with or
changes in real estate tax laws to residential property tenants.
We also do not generally pass through increases in income,
service or other taxes, to tenants under leases. These costs may
adversely affect funds from operations and the ability to make
distributions to stockholders. Similarly, compliance with or
changes in (i) laws increasing the potential liability for
environmental conditions existing on properties or the
restrictions on discharges or other conditions or (ii) rent
control or rent stabilization laws or other laws regulating
housing, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and
the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988, may result in
significant unanticipated expenditures, which would adversely
affect funds from operations and the ability to make
distributions to stockholders.
Any Weaknesses Identified in Our Internal Control Over
Financial Reporting Could Have an Adverse Effect on Our Stock
Price. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
requires us to evaluate and report on our internal report over
financial reporting. If we identify one or more material
weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we
could lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness
of our financial reports, which in turn could have an adverse
effect on our stock price.
Maryland Law May Limit the Ability of a Third Party to
Acquire Control of Us, Which May Not be in Our
Stockholders Best Interests. Maryland business
statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire
control of us. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to
various Maryland laws which may have the effect of discouraging
offers to acquire our company and of increasing the difficulty
of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would
be in our stockholders best interests. The Maryland
General Corporation Law restricts mergers and other business
combination transactions between us and any person who acquires
beneficial ownership of shares of our stock representing 10% or
more of the voting power without our board of directors
prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could
not be completed until five years after the person acquired such
voting power, and generally only with the approval of
stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast
and
662/3
% of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the
interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price.
Maryland law also provides generally that a person who acquires
shares of our equity stock that represents 10% (and certain
higher levels) of the voting power in electing directors will
have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of
the shares eligible to vote.
31
Limitations on Share Ownership and Limitations on the Ability
of Our Stockholders to Effect a Change in Control of Our Company
May Prevent Takeovers That are Beneficial to Our
Stockholders. One of the requirements for maintenance of our
qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes is that
no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may
be owned by five or fewer individuals, including entities
specified in the Internal Revenue Code, during the last half of
any taxable year. Our charter contains ownership and transfer
restrictions relating to our stock primarily to assist us in
complying with this requirement. These restrictions include a
provision that generally limits a person from beneficially
owning or constructively owning shares of our outstanding equity
stock in excess of a 9.9% ownership interest, unless our
board of directors exempts the person from such ownership
limitation, provided that any such exemption shall not allow the
person to exceed 13% of the value of our outstanding equity
stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us, even
though a change of control might involve a premium price for our
stockholders or might otherwise be in our stockholders
best interests.
Under the terms of our shareholder rights plan, our board of
directors can, in effect, prevent a person or group from
acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding shares of our common
stock. Unless our board of directors approves the persons
purchase, after that person acquires more than 15% of our
outstanding common stock, all other stockholders will have the
right to purchase securities from us at a price that is less
than their then fair market value. Purchases by other
stockholders would substantially reduce the value and influence
of the shares of our common stock owned by the acquiring person.
Our board of directors, however, can prevent the shareholder
rights plan from operating in this manner. This gives our board
of directors significant discretion to approve or disapprove a
persons efforts to acquire a large interest in us.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF
PROCEEDS |
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On March 17, 2006, United Dominion sold a total of
516,622 shares of its Series F Preferred Stock,
without par value, to certain accredited investors who hold
OP units, which are limited partnership interests in United
Dominions two operating partnerships, United Dominion
Realty, L.P. and Heritage Communities, L.P. The shares of
Series F Preferred Stock were sold at a purchase price of
$0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of
$51.66. Because the shares of Series F Preferred Stock were
sold to accredited investors in transactions not involving a
public offering, the transactions are exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933 in accordance with
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. Information regarding
the offering and sale of the share of our Series F
Preferred Stock is set forth in our Current Report on
Form 8-K dated
March 17, 2006 and filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on March 22, 2006.
32
Repurchases of Equity Securities
In February 2006, our Board of Directors authorized a new
10 million share repurchase program. This program replaces
our previous 11 million share repurchase program (of which
1,180,737 shares were available for repurchase) and
authorizes the repurchase of our common stock in open market
purchases, block purchases, privately negotiated transactions,
or otherwise. As reflected in the table below, no shares of
common stock were repurchased under these programs during the
quarter ended March 31, 2006.
