Item 2.01    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On May 19, 2016, Trail Creek Apartments, 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 300-unit multifamily community in Hampton, Virginia ("Trail Creek") to Trail Creek Community, LLC (the "Purchaser"), an unrelated third party. The aggregate purchase price paid by the Purchaser to Seller was $39.0 million, exclusive of acquisition-related transaction costs. Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is the general partner of, and owner of an approximate 96.3% interest in, PAC-OP.

Since the results of operations for Trail Creek exceeded 10% of the consolidated net loss reported by the Company for the for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2015, Trail Creek 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 Trail Creek required by Item 9.01(b) of Form 8-K.

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

1.    Basis of Presentation

On February 24, 2016, Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc., or the Company, reclassified the real estate assets and mortgage note payable of its 300-unit Trail Creek multifamily community located in Hampton, Virginia, or Trail Creek, from held and used to held for sale. These assets and the mortgage note for Trail Creek were reported as held for sale in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2016. On May 19, 2016, the Company closed on the sale of Trail Creek to an unrelated third party for a purchase price of $39.0 million, exclusive of closing costs and recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $4.1 million.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet includes three columns.  The first column labeled "PAC REIT Historical" represents the actual financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2016.  The second column, entitled "Disposition of Trail Creek" represents the pro forma adjustments required in order to reflect the balance sheet impact of the removal of the disposed assets as if the transaction had occurred on March 31, 2016, including the assumption by the buyer of the existing mortgage note on Trail Creek, as described in note 2.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations include three columns. The first column labeled "PAC REIT Historical" represents the actual results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015. The second column, entitled "Disposition of Trail Creek" represents the adjustments to remove the historical revenues and expenses of Trail Creek for the periods presented, as described in note 3.

The results presented on the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations assume the sale of Trail Creek closed on January 1, 2015 and present pro forma operating results for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. These Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements should not be considered indicative of future results.

2.      Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet

(C)     The adjustment to cash and accumulated deficit includes a pro forma disposition fee that would be due to Preferred Apartment Advisors, LLC, or the Manager, of 1% of the purchase price of Trail Creek. This adjustment is not reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations as the effect of the transaction is nonrecurring.

3.     Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations
 
The adjustments to the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and and year ended December 31, 2015 are as follows:

(AA)    These pro forma adjustments remove the actual historical revenues and expenses recorded from the operations of Trail Creek for the respective periods.    

(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 2.6% and 1.24% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively. These adjustments reflect the pro-rata adjustment to the amount of net loss attributable to the non-controlling interests.
