DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Discontinued operations represent properties that UDR has either sold or which management believes meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. In order to be classified as held for sale and reported as discontinued operations, a property’s operations and cash flows have been or will be divested to a third party by the Company whereby UDR will not have any continuing involvement in the ownership or operation of the property after the sale or disposition. The results of operations of the property are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented and do not impact the net earnings reported by the Company. Once a property is deemed as held for sale, depreciation is no longer recorded. However, if the Company determines that the property no longer meets the criteria of held for sale, the Company will recapture any unrecorded depreciation for the property. The assets and liabilities of properties classified as held for sale are presented separately on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the costs to sell the assets.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 , the Company sold 15 communities with 4,931 apartment homes and 21 communities with 6,507 apartment homes, respectively. During three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company sold seven communities with 1,707 apartment homes, which included six communities (1,418 homes) sold in conjunction with an asset exchange. The Company had no communities that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and included in discontinued operations at June 30, 2012. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, UDR recognized gains (before tax) on the sale of communities for financial reporting purposes of $180.9 million and $261.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, and $44.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, which are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations for the following properties are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item entitled “Income from discontinued operations.” Discontinued operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2011 also includes operating activities related to 11 communities (2,781 homes) sold during the last two quarters of 2011.
