Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 7, 2017, Ashford Park, LLC (the "Seller"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Preferred Apartment Communities Operating Partnership, L.P. ("PAC-OP"), completed the disposition of a fee simple interest in a 408-unit multifamily community in Atlanta, Georgia ("Ashford Park") to FPACP3 Ashford, LLC (the "Purchaser"), an unrelated third party. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser to Seller was $65.5 million, exclusive of acquisition-related transaction costs. The proceeds from the sale are being held by a 1031 intermediary with the goal being to use the proceeds for a like-kind exchange. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is the general partner of, and as of December 31, 2016, owner of an approximate 96.8% interest in, PAC-OP.

Since the results of operations for Ashford Park exceeded 10% of the average consolidated net income/loss reported by the Company for the trailing five years, most recently ended December 31, 2016, Ashford Park is deemed to be a significant disposition under the income test from Regulation S-X 1-02(w). The Company therefore submits this Current Report on Form 8-K to provide certain financial information related to its disposition of Ashford Park required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.

The third column, entitled "PAC REIT Pro Forma" presents the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2016, excluding Ashford Park.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations includes three columns. The first column labeled "PAC REIT Historical" represents the actual results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016. The second column, entitled "Disposition of Ashford Park" represents the adjustments to remove the historical revenues and expenses of Ashford Park for the period presented, as described in note 3. The third column, entitled "PAC REIT pro forma" presents the pro forma results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016, excluding Ashford Park.

The results presented on the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations assume the sale of Ashford Park closed on January 1, 2016 and presents pro forma operating results for the Company for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements


(C)     The adjustment to cash and accumulated deficit includes (i) a pro forma disposition fee that would
be due to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or the Manager, of 1% of the purchase price of Ashford Park and (ii) is net of a mortgage defeasance fee of $1,142,907 and other charges paid to relieve the Company of the mortgage obligation on Ashford Park. This adjustment is not reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations as the effect of the transaction is nonrecurring.

3.     Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
 
The adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 are as follows:

(AA)    These pro forma adjustments remove the actual historical revenues and expenses recorded from the operations of Ashford Park for the year ended December 31, 2016.    

(BB)      Outstanding Class A Units of the Operating Partnership become entitled to pro-rata distributions of profit and allocations of loss as non-controlling interests of the Operating Partnership. The weighted-average percentage of ownership by the non-controlling interests was approximately 3.30% for the year ended December 31, 2016. These adjustments reflect the pro-rata adjustment to the amount of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests.
