Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors
UDR, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of One Island Square (the Community) for the year ended December 31, 2007. This financial statement is the responsibility of the Community’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statement based upon our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Community’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 the Community’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 financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and for inclusion in a Current Report on Form 8-K of UDR, Inc., as described in Note 1. The presentation is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Community’s revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of One Island Square for the year ended December 31, 2007, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.

One Island Square
Note to Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses
December 31, 2007
1. Basis of Presentation
On April 15, 2008, United Dominion Realty, L.P., a wholly owned subsidiary of UDR, Inc., entered into an agreement to purchase One Island Square (the Community), a residential apartment community with retail space subject to a master lease agreement located in Mercer Island, Washington, from One Island Square, LLC (Seller).
The statement 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, including Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses has been prepared using the accrual method of accounting, and certain expenses such as depreciation, amortization, income taxes, mortgage interest expense, and entity expenses are not reflected in the statement of revenues and certain expenses, as required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Consequently, the statement of revenues and certain 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 in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is recognized for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis.
Repairs and Maintenance
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized.
Advertising Costs
All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the statement of revenues and certain expenses within the line item “Administrative and marketing.” For the year ended December 31, 2007, advertising expenses were $92,646, which included $7,250 in rental bonuses.

Uses of Estimates
The preparation of the statement of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Interim Information (unaudited)
In the opinion of management, the unaudited information for the six months ended June 30, 2008, included herein, contains all of the adjustments necessary, which are of a normal recurring nature, to present fairly the revenues and certain expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Results of interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. Management is not aware of any material factors that would cause the information included herein to not be indicative of future operating results, except for certain rental revenues related to an executed master lease agreement and property management fees.
3. Related-Party Transactions
An affiliate of the Seller performed the property management function and charged total management fees of 2.5% of gross residential revenues for their service for 2007. Related party management fees in the amount of $91,509 were charged to the Community during 2007.

UDR, INC.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(unaudited)
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet presents the historical financial information of UDR as of June 30, 2008, as adjusted for the One Island Square asset acquisition for approximately $112.2 million, of which nearly the entire purchase price was paid from 1031 proceeds as if the transaction had occurred on June 30, 2008. The historical acquisitions of Edgewater Apartments, Delancey Apartments, Circle Towers and Legacy Village I, II, III and IV (Previously Acquired Communities) for approximately $456.9 million, of which $71.0 million was financed with debt, with the balance paid for by utilizing 1031 proceeds, occurred prior to June 30, 2008, and as such, there are no pro forma adjustments deemed necessary to the pro forma consolidated balance sheet for the Previously Acquired Communities.
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the six months ended June 30, 2008 (unaudited) combines the historical operations of UDR with the historical operations of the properties described above, as if the acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2007.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared by UDR’s management based upon the historical financial statements of UDR and the historical financial information of the communities acquired. Certain pro forma adjustments were made to the historical financial statements as described in the accompanying notes to pro forma consolidated financial statements. These pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated. The pro forma financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements included in UDR’s previous filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
