Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 2, 2011, UDR Inc. (“UDR” or “the Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) 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. On November 1, 2011, the Company filed with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated April 1, 2011 (Commission File No. 1-10524), reporting that the Company had acquired an additional apartment community in New York City, New York. These apartment community acquisitions are referred to as “Previously Acquired Communities” in this report, and include: 10 Hanover, 388 Beale, 14 North, Inwood West and Rivergate.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed to report that on August 31, 2011, the Company and the Operating Partnership closed on an acquisition of a multifamily apartment community referred to as 95 Wall, located in New York City, New York. The community, which is comprised of 507 homes, was acquired for $328.9 million. This transaction is considered individually significant at the time of the transaction under the rules governing the reporting of transactions on Form 8-K. In addition, this transaction, together with the transactions reported on the Form 8-K dated May 2, 2011 and the Form 8-K/A dated November 1, 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/A to include certain financial information with respect to the additional property acquired on August 31, 2011 and to provide updated pro forma financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Report of Independent Auditors
Board of Directors
UDR, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of 95 Wall for the year ended December 31, 2010. The statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is the responsibility of 95 Wall’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 95 Wall’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 95 Wall’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 95 Wall’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 95 Wall for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

95 Wall
Notes to the Statements of Revenues and Certain Operating Expenses
December 31, 2010
1. Basis of Presentation
On August 31, 2011, UDR, Inc. acquired 95 Wall (the Community), a 22-story, 507-home apartment community located in New York, New York from 95 Wall Associates LLC. The accompanying unaudited statement of revenues and ceratin operating expenses for the eight months ended August 31, 2011 reflects the operations of the Community through the date of acquisition.
The statements of revenues and certain operating expenses relate 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 periods presented is not representative of the actual operations for the periods 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 statements of revenues and certain operating expenses are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenues and certain operating expenses of the Community. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Community leases space to residential and commercial tenants under noncancelable operating lease agreements. As such, the Community recognizes rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Rental income related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from tenants. The apartment homes are leased with terms of generally one year. Advanced receipts of rental income are deferred and classified as liabilities until earned.
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 expensed 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 statements of revenues and certain operating expenses.

4. Tax Exemption and Abatement
The Community was converted from an office property to a residential property in 2008 under the Section 421-g Program (the Program) administered by the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development to promote more productive use of non-residential buildings in Lower Manhattan. A partial tax exemption and abatement was given for the conversion of non-residential buildings to residential use in the eligible Lower Manhattan revitalization area. Under the terms of the Program, the Community is eligible for a tax abatement until 2023, as well as an exemption from real estate taxes until 2021, both of which include a four year phase out period. As a result, no real estate tax expense was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010.
5. Subsequent Events
Management of the Community has evaluated subsequent events through November 9, 2011, the date on which the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses was issued.

UDR, INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments
  (a)  
95 Wall was acquired in August 2011; therefore, the effect of the acquisition is included in our historical consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011. We financed this acquisition with the issuance of operating partnership units (“OP units”) and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The Operating Partnership issued 1,802,239 OP units which were deemed to have an agreed upon value equal to the greater of $25.00 or the volume weighted average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock for the 10 day period ended on, and including, the date one business day prior to the settlement date. The fair value of these OP units was $26.71 at the settlement date. The purchase price allocations included in the September 30, 2011 balance sheet are as follows (amounts in thousands):
                                         
                            Leases in Place for        
                            Residential     Above Market  
Property   Purchase Price (1)     Land     Building     and Retail     Retail Leases  
95 Wall
  $ 328,914     $ 57,565     $ 263,668     $ 3,245     $ 4,436  
     
(1)  
The purchase price is the contractual sales price between UDR and the third-party and does not include any costs that the Company incurred in the pursuit of the property or the recorded difference between the agreed-upon value and the fair value of the OP units issued as part of the consideration paid.
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations Adjustments
  (a)  
Reflects amortization of the net above-market lease intangibles recorded as part of the acquisitions.
 
  (b)  
Reflects ground lease expense for 10 Hanover Square.
 
  (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.
 
  (e)  
Reflects the difference between historical non-controlling interest and what would have been recorded by the Company as a result of the pro forma adjustments to reported earnings for the acquired communities.
 
  (f)  
Reflects the actual results of 95 Wall for the eight months ended August 31, 2011, the date of acquisition. UDR’s historical Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 contains the property results for the month of September 2011.
 
  (g)  
Reflects an adjustment for the Previously Acquired Communities for January 1, 2011 through the date of acquisition.
