2.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) and certain reclassifications considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements in order to conform to the current year presentation. Operating results for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.

        The balance sheet at December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.

        For further information, including definition of capitalized terms not defined herein, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

        At June 30, 2002, certain unconsolidated development partnerships in which the Company invested had entered into swaps to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on unconsolidated floating rate construction mortgage loans. The Company has recorded its proportionate share of these qualifying hedges on its consolidated balance sheets. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges with a current aggregate notional amount of $379.3 million (notional amounts range from $123.9 million to $562.3 million over the terms of the swaps) at interest rates ranging from 2.28% to 6.94% maturing at various dates ranging from 2002 to 2005 with a net liability fair value of $11.3 million.

        On June 30, 2002, the net derivative instruments were reported at their fair value as other liabilities of approximately $10.7 million and as a reduction to investment in unconsolidated entities of approximately $11.3 million. As of June 30, 2002, there were approximately $30.8 million in deferred losses, net, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Based on the estimated fair values of the net derivative instruments at June 30, 2002, the Company may recognize an estimated $16.4 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss as additional interest expense during the twelve months ending June 30, 2003, of which $6.0 million is related to the unconsolidated development partnerships.

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141,Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141 requires companies to account for all business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. SFAS No. 141 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2002, but it has not had any impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.2002.

        In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. SFAS No. 142 requires companies to eliminate the amortization of goodwill in favor of a periodic impairment based approach. SFAS No. 142 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2002, but it has not had a material impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.2002. See Note 16 for further discussion.

        In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145,Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. SFAS No. 145, among other items, rescinds the automatic classification of costs incurred on debt extinguishment as extraordinary charges. Instead, gains and losses from debt extinguishment should only be classified as extraordinary if they meet the "unusual and infrequently occurring" criteria outlined in APB No. 30. SFAS No. 145 is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company will adopt the standard effective

        At September 30, 2002, certain unconsolidated development partnerships in which the Company invested had entered into swaps to hedge the interest rate risk exposure on unconsolidated floating rate construction mortgage loans. The Company has recorded its proportionate share of these hedges on its consolidated balance sheets. These swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges with a current aggregate notional amount of $427.7 million (notional amounts range from $166.5 million to $552.4 million over the terms of the swaps) at interest rates ranging from 2.25% to 6.94% maturing at various dates ranging from 2003 to 2005 with a net liability fair value of $15.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $0.8 million due to ineffectiveness of certain of these unconsolidated development derivatives (included in income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated entities).

        On September 30, 2002, the net derivative instruments were reported at their fair value as other liabilities of approximately $9.0 million and as a reduction to investments in unconsolidated entities of approximately $15.0 million. As of September 30, 2002, there were approximately $44.2 million in deferred losses, net, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Based on the estimated fair values of the net derivative instruments at September 30, 2002, the Company may recognize an estimated $19.3 million of

15



accumulated other comprehensive loss as additional interest expense during the twelve months ending September 30, 2003, of which $8.0 million is related to the unconsolidated development partnerships.

Convertible preferred shares/units that could be converted into 15,648,03415,461,855 and 14,921,38415,322,607 weighted average Common Shares for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 15,369,25515,095,576 and 15,379,91015,626,902 weighted average Common Shares for the quarters ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effects would be anti-dilutive.

On October 11, 2001, the Company effected a two-for-one split of its Common Shares and OP Units to shareholders and unitholders of record as of September 21, 2001. All per share and OP Unit data and numbers of Common Shares and OP Units have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Common Share and OP Unit split.

13.14.  Discontinued Operations

        In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2002, which did not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

        Under the provisions of SFAS No. 144, for long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company first determines whether any indicators of impairment exist. If indicators exist, the Company compares the expected future undiscounted cash flows for the long-lived asset against the carrying amount of that asset. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss would be recorded for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the asset.

17



        For long-lived assets to be disposed of, an impairment loss is recognized when the estimated fair value of the asset, less the estimated cost to sell, is less than the carrying amount of the asset measured at the time that the Company has determined it will sell the asset. Long-lived assets held for disposition are reported at the lower orof their carrying amounts or their estimated fair values, less their costs to sell.

        Goodwill and investments in unconsolidated entities accounted for under the equity method of accounting are specifically excluded from the scope of SFAS No. 144.

        On January 11, 2002, the Company disposed of its furniture rental business for $30.0 million and received net proceeds of $28.7 million. No gain/loss on sale was recognized as the net book value at the sale date after giving effect to a previously recorded impairment loss approximated the sales price.

        The components of discontinued operations for the sixnine months and quarters ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, are outlined below and include the results of operations through the date of each respective sale for the sixnine months and quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, and a full sixnine months and quarter of operations for the sixnine months and quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001, for the following:

14.15.  Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company, as an owner of real estate, is subject to various environmental laws of Federal and local governments. Compliance by the Company with existing laws has not had a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations. However, the Company cannot predict the impact of new or changed laws or regulations on its current properties or on properties that it may acquire in the future.

        The Company does not believe there is any litigation threatened against the Company other than routine litigation arising out of the ordinary course of business, some of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

18



        In regards to the funding of properties in the development stage and the agreements with multifamily residential real estate developers, the Company funded a net total of $40.3$65.1 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002. In connection with one development agreement, the Company has an obligation to fund up to an additional $9.5 million to guarantee third party construction financing. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2002, the Company has 2117 projects underin various stages of development (includes threetwo consolidated projects) with estimated completion dates ranging through March 31, 2004.

        For one development agreement, the Company's partner has the right, at any time following completion of a project, to stipulate a value for such project and offer to sell its interest in the project to the Company based on such value. If the Company chooses not to purchase the interest, it must agree to a sale of the project to an unrelated third party at such value. The Company's partner must exercise this right as to all projects within five years after the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy on the last developed property.

        Under a second development agreement, the Company's partner has the right, at any time following completion of a project, to require the Company to purchase the partners' interest in that project at a mutually agreeable price. If the Company and the partner are unable to agree on a price, both parties will obtain appraisals. If the appraised values vary by more than 10%, both the Company and its partner will agree on a third appraiser to determine which original appraisal is closest to its determination of value. The Company may elect at that time not to purchase the property and instead, authorize its partner to sell the project at or above the agreed-upon value to an unrelated third party. Five years following the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy on the last developed property, any projects remaining unsold must be purchased by the Company at the agreed-upon price.

        The Company provided a credit enhancement with respect to certain tax-exempt bonds issued to finance certain public improvements at a multifamily development project. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2002, this enhancement was still in effect at a commitment amount of $12.7 million.

15.16.  Asset Impairment

        For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company recorded approximately $0.6$0.9 million and $6.8$8.0 million, respectively, of asset impairment charges related to its technology investments. These charges were the result of review of the existing investments reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. These impairment losses are reflected on the statement of operations in total expenses and include the write-down of assets classified as other assets and investments in unconsolidated entities.

        For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded approximately $17.1 million of asset impairment charges related to its corporate housing business. Following the guidance in SFAS No. 142, these charges were the result of the Company's decision to reduce the carrying value of its corporate housing business to $30.0 million, given the continued weakness in the economy and management's expectations for near-term performance. This impairment loss is reflected on the consolidated statements of operations as impairment on corporate housing business and on the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction in goodwill, net.

        As of September 30, 2001, the Company recorded $60.0 million of asset impairment charges related to its furniture rental business. These charges were the result of a review of the existing intangible and tangible assets reflected on the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2001. The Company reviewed the current net book value taking into consideration existing business and economic conditions as well as projected cash flows. The impairment loss is reflected on the income statement in discontinued operations, net, and includes the write-down of the following assets: a) goodwill of approximately $26.0 million; b) rental furniture, net of approximately $28.6 million; c) property and equipment, net of approximately $4.5 million; and d) other assets of approximately $0.9 million.

16.17.  Reportable Segments

        Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by senior management. Senior management decides how resources are allocated and assesses performance on a monthly basis.

        The Company's primary business is owning, managing, and operating multifamily residential properties, which includes the generation of rental and other related income through the leasing of apartment units to residents. Senior management evaluates the performance of each of our apartment communities on an individual basis, however, each of our apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, residents, and products and services so they have been aggregated into one reportable segment. The Company's rental real estate segment comprised approximately 98.7%98.8% and 97.6%97.9% of total revenues for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and approximately 98.5%99.0% and 97.5%98.5% of total revenues for the quarters ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company's rental real estate segment comprised approximately 99.6%99.7% and 99.4% of total assets at JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, respectively.

19



        The primary financial measure for the Company's rental real estate segment is net operating income ("NOI"), which represents rental income less: 1) property and maintenance expense; 2) real estate taxes and insurance expense; and 3) property management expense (all as reflected in the accompanying statements of operations). Current year NOI is compared to prior year NOI and current year budgeted NOI as a measure of financial performance. NOI from our rental real estate totaled approximately $613.4$905.1 million and $609.5$916.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and approximately $307.9$297.5 million and $304.8$312.6 million for the quarters ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

        During the acquisition, development and/or disposition of real estate, the NOI return on total capitalized costs is the primary measure of financial performance the Company considers.

        The Company's fee and asset management activity is immaterial and does not meet the threshold requirements of a reportable segment as provided for in SFAS No. 131.

17.18.  Subsequent Events/Other

        During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the U.S. Army with an initial cash investment of $10.0 million and assumed management of 3,637 multifamily units at Fort Lewis, Washington.

        Subsequent to JuneSeptember 30, 2002 and through July 29,November 4, 2002, the Company:

The Company's partner must exercise this right as to all projects within five years after the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy on the last developed property.

        Under a second development agreement, the Company's partner has the right, at any time following completion of a project, to require the Company to purchase the partners' interest in that project at a mutually agreeable price. If the Company and the partner are unable to agree on a price, both parties will obtain appraisals. If the appraised values vary by more than 10%, both the Company and its partner will agree on a third appraiser to determine which original appraisal is closest to its

29



determination of value. The Company may elect at that time not to purchase the property and instead, authorize its partner to sell the project at or above the agreed-upon value to an unrelated third party. Five years following the receipt of the final certificate of occupancy on the last developed property, any projects remaining unsold must be purchased by the Company at the agreed-upon price.

        Our policy with respect to capital expenditures is generally to capitalize expenditures that improve the value of the property or extend the useful life of the component asset of the property. We track improvements to real estate in two major categories and several subcategories:

        For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, our actual improvements to real estate totaled approximately $66.5$110.3 million. This includes the following detail (amounts in thousands except for unit and per unit amounts):

        We anticipate capitalizing an average of approximately $600 to $640 per unit annually for inside and outside the unit capital improvements to our real estate. Total improvements to real estate for the remainder of 2002 are estimated to be $65.0$22.0 million.

        During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, the Company's total non-real estate capital additions, such as computer software, computer equipment, and furniture and fixtures and leasehold improvements to the Company's property management offices and its corporate offices, was approximately $4.6$5.6 million. Total additions to non-real estate property for the remainder of 2002 are estimated at $2.2$1.2 million.

        Improvements to real estate and additions to non-real estate property for both 2002 and 2001 were funded from net cash provided by operating activities.

30


        Minority Interests as of JuneSeptember 30, 2002 decreased by $8.2$14.7 million when compared to December 31, 2001. The primary factors that impacted this account in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets during the sixnine months were:

        Total distributions paid in JulyOctober 2002 amounted to $147.7$145.2 million (excluding distributions on Partially Owned Properties), which included certain distributions declared during the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002.

        The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to maintaining its existing properties and certain scheduled unsecured note and mortgage note repayments, generally through its working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and borrowings under its line of credit. The Company considers its cash provided by operating activities to be adequate to meet operating requirements and payments of distributions. The Company also expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled unsecured note and mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, financing of construction and development activities and capital improvements through the issuance of unsecured notes and equity securities, including additional OP Units, and proceeds received from the disposition of certain properties. In addition, the Company has certain unencumbered properties available to secure additional mortgage borrowings in the event that the public capital markets are unavailable to the Company or the cost of alternative sources of capital to the Company is too high. TheseThe fair value of these unencumbered properties are in excess of the required value of unencumbered properties the Company must maintain in order to comply with covenants under its unsecured notes and line of credit.

        On May 30, 2002 the Company obtained a new three-year $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The new line of credit replaces the Company's $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility that was scheduled to expire in August 2002. The prior existing revolving credit facility terminated upon the closing of the new facility. This new facility matures in May 2005 and will be used to fund property acquisitions, costs for certain Propertiesproperties under development and short term liquidity requirements. As of July 31,November 7, 2002, $40.0$285.0 million was outstanding under this new facility.

32



        The Company provided a credit enhancement with respect to certain tax-exempt bonds issued to finance certain public improvements at a multifamily development project. As of July 31,November 4, 2002, this enhancement was still in effect at a commitment amount of $12.7 million.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. These policies were followed in preparing the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted infor the United States, which require the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosures.nine months ended September 30, 2002.

        The Company has identified six significant accounting policies as critical accounting policies. These critical accounting policies are those that have the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. With respect to these critical accounting policies, management believes that the followingapplication of judgments and assessments is consistently applied and produces

31


financial information that fairly presents the results of operations for all periods presented. The six critical accounting policies among others, affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.are:

        The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in real estate and goodwill, for impairment indicators. The judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators are based on factors such as operational performance, market conditions and legal factors. Future events could occur which would cause the Company to conclude that impairment indicators exist and an impairment loss is warranted.

        The Company depreciates the building component of its investment in real estate over a 30-year estimated useful life, building improvements over a 5-year to 10-year estimated useful life and both the furniture, fixtures and equipment and replacements components over a 5-year estimated useful life, all of which are judgmental determinations.

        The valuation of financial instruments under SFAS No. 107 and SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments. The Company, where possible, bases the fair values of its financial instruments, including its derivative instruments, on listed market prices and third party quotes. Where these are not available, the Company bases its estimates on other factors relevant to the financial instruments.

        The Company has chosen to account for its stock option compensation in accordance with APB No. 25, which results in no compensation expense for options issued with an exercise price equal to or exceeding market value of the Company's Common Shares on the date of grant, instead of Statementgrant. The Company will elect to expense its stock option compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123 effective January 1, 2003 which wouldwill result in compensation expense being recorded based on the fair value of the stock option compensation issued.

        See theCapitalization of Fixed Assets and Improvements to Real Estate section for discussion of the Company's policy with respect to capitalization vs. expensing of fixed asset/repair and maintenance costs. The Company expenses as incurred all payroll costs of employees working directly at our properties, except that during the initial lease-up phase on a development project, an allocated portion of payroll costs is capitalized based upon the occupancy of the project until stabilized occupancy is achieved. Stabilized occupancy is always deemed to have occurred no later than one year from cessation of major development activities.

        The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes and insurance related to its development projects. The Company also capitalizes payroll and associated costs for those individuals directly responsible for and who spend all of their time on development activities. The incremental payroll and associated costs are capitalized to the projects under development based upon the effort directly identifiable with such projects. These costs are reflected on the balance sheet as either construction in progress or a separate component of investments in unconsolidated entities. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the property becomes substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In addition, the Company capitalizes the payroll and associated costs of employees directly responsible for and who spend all of their time on major capital projects. These costs are reflected on the balance sheet as an increase to building. The Company follows the guidance in SFAS No. 67,Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects, and uses its professional judgment in determining whether such costs meet the criteria for capitalization or must be expensed as incurred.

32


        Rental income attributable to leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Leases entered into between a resident and a property for the rental of an apartment unit are generally year-to-year, renewable upon consent of both parties on a year-to-year or month-to-month basis.

        The Company adopted the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101,Revenue Recognition, effective October 1, 2000. SAB No. 101 provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

Adjusted Net Income

        For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30 2002, Adjusted Net Income ("ANI") available to Common Shares and OP Units decreased $4.3$16.0 million as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001.

        For the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, ANI available to Common Shares and OP Units increased $6.4decreased $11.7 million as compared to the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001.

*(1)
Acquisition cost depreciation represents depreciation for the initial cost of the property, including buildings and furniture, fixtures and equipment and depreciation on capital improvements identified in the acquisition underwriting and incurred in the first twenty-four months of ownership when the total cost exceeds $2,000 per unit.

**(2)
ANIAdjusted Net Income ("ANI") represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP")), including gains or losses from sales of real estate, plus acquisition cost depreciation, plus amortization of goodwill, minus the accumulated acquisition cost depreciation on sold properties, plus/minus extraordinary items and plus the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle. Depreciation associated with replacements and capital improvements is deducted in calculating ANI.

34


        The Company believes that ANI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, it provides investors an understanding of the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures. ANI in and of itself does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to net cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. The Company's calculation of ANI may differ from the methodology for calculating ANI utilized by other real estate companies and may differ, for example, due to variations among the Company's and other real estate companies' accounting policies for replacement type items and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other real estate companies.

Funds From Operations

        For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, Funds From Operations ("FFO") available to Common Shares and OP Units decreased $4.4$25.0 million as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001.

        For the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2002, FFO available to Common Shares and OP Units decreased $4.3$20.7 million as compared to the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2001.
