Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 2, 2011, UDR Inc. (“UDR” or “the Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 1, 2011 (Commission File No. 1-10524), reporting that the Company and its subsidiary United Dominion Realty L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), had during the 2011 fiscal year acquired various apartment communities located in New York City, New York; San Francisco, California; Peabody, Massachusetts; and Woburn, Massachusetts. These apartment community acquisitions are referred to as “Previously Acquired Communities” in this report, and include: 10 Hanover, 388 Beale, 14 North and Inwood West.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to report that on July 19, 2011, the Company closed on an acquisition of a multifamily apartment community referred to as Rivergate, located in New York City, New York. The community, which is comprised of 706 homes, was acquired for $443.4 million. Individually, this transaction was not a significant acquisition at the time of the transaction or at the date of this filing under the rules governing the reporting of transactions on Form 8-K; however, this transaction, together with the transactions reported on the Form 8-K dated May 2, 2011 and other unrelated acquisitions completed during 2011, in the aggregate were significant pursuant to Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. The Company is therefore filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to include certain financial information with respect to the additional property acquired on July 19, 2011 and to provide updated pro forma financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
The following financial statements are being filed in connection with the acquisition of certain communities as described in Item 8.01 as required by Sections 210.3-14 and 210.11-01 of Regulation S-X.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
UDR, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of Rivergate for the year ended December 31, 2010. The statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is the responsibility of Rivergate’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of Rivergate’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Rivergate’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K to be filed by UDR, Inc. as described in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Rivergate’s revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 1 of Rivergate for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Basis of Presentation
On July 19, 2011, UDR, Inc. acquired Rivergate (the Community), a 35-story, 706-home apartment community located in New York, New York from Rivergate Limited Partnership.
The statements of revenues and certain expenses relates to the operations of the Community and were prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X (Rule 3-14). Accordingly, the accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses is not intended to be a complete presentation and certain expenses such as depreciation, amortization, mortgage interest expense, property management fees, income taxes, and entity expenses are not reflected in the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses in accordance with Rule 3-14. Consequently, the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses for the period presented is not representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain revenues and expenses which may not be in the proposed future operations of the Community have been excluded.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and certain operating expenses of the Community during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income related to residential leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents. The apartment homes are leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year. Advanced receipts of rental income are deferred and classified as liabilities until earned.
The Community leases space to commercial tenants under noncancelable operating lease agreements. As such, the Community recognizes commercial lease revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 840, Leases, which requires that lease revenue be recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
Repairs and Maintenance
Significant improvements, renovations or betterments that extend the economic useful life of the assets are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.
3. Commitment and Contingencies
From time to time, the Community is a party to legal proceedings and claims incidental to the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these legal proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management of the Community does not believe the ultimate resolution of these matters would have a material adverse effect on the Community’s statement of revenues and certain expenses.
4. Subsequent Events
Management of the Community has evaluated subsequent events through October 5, 2011, the date on which the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was issued.

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments
  (a)   Reflects amortization of approximately $198,000 and $71,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and the six month ended June 30, 2011, respectively, for the net below-market lease intangibles recorded as part of the acquisitions.

  (c)   Reflects the estimated depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded by UDR based on the depreciable basis of the acquired communities, assuming asset lives ranging from five to thirty-five years as well as the amortization of the identifiable intangible values recorded with an estimated useful life of approximately one year.
 
  (d)   Reflects estimated interest expense that would have been recorded for the increase in our revolving credit facility, deferred financing costs and assumed debt, including the impact of amortizing the fair market adjustment on fixed rate debt over the term of the related debt instrument.
