EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015, of Post Properties, Inc. and Post Apartment Homes, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Post Properties” or the “Company” mean Post Properties, Inc. and its controlled and consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Post Apartment Homes” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Post Apartment Homes, L.P. and its controlled and consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “the Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the text requires.

The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2015, the Company owned an approximate 99.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining 0.2% interests are owned by persons other than the Company.

Management believes that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:

• Combined reports better reflect how management and the analyst community view the business as a single operating unit;

• Combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business and its results as a whole and in the same manner as management;

• Combined reports are more efficiently prepared by the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in time and cost efficiencies; and

• Combined reports are more efficiently reviewed by investors and analysts by reducing the amount of duplicate disclosures.

Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company is comprised of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how these two entities operate as a consolidated company. The Company is a REIT, and its only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations and its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness.

There are a few differences in the disclosures for the Company and the Operating Partnership which are reflected and presented as such in the consolidated footnotes to the financial statements to this Form 10-Q. Noncontrolling interests and the presentation of equity are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company’s consolidated statement of operations reflects a reduction to income for the noncontrolling interests held by the Operating Partnership’s unitholders other than the Company (0.2% at March 31, 2015). This quarterly report on Form 10-Q presents the following separate financial information for both the Company and the Operating Partnership:

• Consolidated financial statements;

• The following information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements:

• Computation of earnings per share for the Company

• Computation of earnings per unit for the Operating Partnership

POST PROPERTIES, INC. AND POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Post Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries develop, own and manage upscale multi-family apartment communities in selected markets in the United States. The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the sole general partner, a limited partner and owns a majority interest in Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Georgia limited partnership. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries conducts substantially all of the on-going operations of the Company, a publicly traded corporation which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). As used herein, the term “Company” includes Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Post Apartment Homes, L.P., unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company has elected to qualify and operate as a self-administrated and self-managed REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate interests and is generally not subject to federal income tax on the income it distributes to its shareholders. The Operating Partnership is governed under the provisions of a limited partnership agreement, as amended. Under the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, as amended, Operating Partnership net profits, net losses and cash flow (after allocations to preferred ownership interests) are allocated to the partners in proportion to their common ownership interests. Cash distributions from the Operating Partnership shall be, at a minimum, sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its annual dividend requirements to maintain its REIT status under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had interests in 23,350 apartment units in 59 communities, including 1,471 apartment units in four communities held in unconsolidated entities and 1,819 apartment units in five communities currently under development. At March 31, 2015, approximately 29.1%, 21.9%, 13.5% and 10.9% (on a unit basis) of the Company’s operating communities were located in the Atlanta, Georgia, Dallas, Texas, the greater Washington, D.C. and Tampa, Florida metropolitan areas, respectively.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding 54,594 shares of common stock and owned the same number of units of common limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership, representing a 99.8% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Common Units held by persons other than the Company totaled 121 at March 31, 2015 and represented a 0.2% common noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Each Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for either one share of Company common stock or cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of redemption, at the option, but outside the control, of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership presently anticipates that it will cause shares of common stock to be issued in connection with each such redemption rather than paying cash (as has been done in all redemptions to date). With each redemption of outstanding Common Units for Company common stock, the Company’s percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the Company issues shares of common stock, the Company will contribute any net proceeds therefrom to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership will issue an equivalent number of Common Units to the Company. The Company’s weighted average common ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was 99.8% for three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or entities where it is determined to be the primary beneficiary under ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” Under ASC Topic 810, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are generally entities that lack sufficient equity to finance their

11

POST PROPERTIES, INC. AND POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

activities without additional financial support from other parties or whose equity holders lack adequate decision making ability. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate a VIE for financial reporting purposes. The application of ASC Topic 810 requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the Company’s and its other partners’ rights, obligations and economic interests in such entities. For entities in which the Company has less than a controlling financial interest or entities where it is not deemed to be the primary beneficiary, the entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of these entities is included in consolidated net income. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s noncontrolling interest of common unitholders (also referred to as “Redeemable Common Units”) in the operations of the Operating Partnership is calculated based on the weighted average unit ownership during the period.

Revenue recognition

Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. Rental revenues from residential leases are recognized on the straight-line method over the approximate life of the leases, which is generally one year. The recognition of rental revenues from residential leases when earned has historically not been materially different from rental revenues recognized on a straight-line basis.

Under the terms of residential leases, the residents of the Company’s residential communities are obligated to reimburse the Company for certain utility usage, water and electricity (at selected properties), where the Company is the primary obligor to the public utility entity. These utility reimbursements from residents are reflected as other property revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets and for-sale condominiums are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, “Property, Plant and Equipment – Real Estate Sales.” In periods prior to the sale of the Company’s final condominium in the first quarter of 2014, the Company recognized condominium sales under the deposit method based on an evaluation of the factors specified in ASC 360-20. Under ASC Topic 360-20, the Company used the relative sales value method to allocate costs and recognize profits from condominium sales. Under the relative sales value method, estimates of aggregate project revenues and aggregate project costs were used to determine the allocation of project cost of sales and the resulting profit in each accounting period.

For condominium communities, the operating results and associated gains and losses are reflected on the consolidated statement of operations in the caption titled “Net gains on condominium sales activities.”

Cost capitalization

For communities under development or construction, the Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and certain internal personnel and associated costs related to the development and construction activity. Interest is capitalized to projects under development or construction based upon the weighted average cumulative project costs for each month multiplied by the Company’s weighted average borrowing costs, expressed as a percentage. Weighted average borrowing costs include the costs of the Company’s fixed rate secured and unsecured borrowings and the variable rate unsecured borrowings under its line of credit facilities. The weighted average borrowing costs, expressed as a percentage, were 4.3% and 4.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Aggregate interest costs capitalized to projects under development or construction were $982 and $846 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Internal development and construction personnel and associated costs are capitalized to projects under development or construction based upon the effort associated with such projects. Aggregate internal development and construction personnel and associated costs capitalized to projects under development or construction were $1,135 and $489 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company treats each unit in an apartment community separately for cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the completion of rental and condominium units, interest and other construction costs are capitalized and reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the residential units in a community become substantially complete and available for occupancy or sale. This results in a proration of costs between amounts that are capitalized and expensed as the residential units in apartment and condominium development communities become available for occupancy or sale. In addition, prior to the completion of rental units, the Company expenses as incurred substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing as well as property management and leasing personnel expenses) of such rental communities.

Real estate assets, depreciation and impairment

Real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (buildings and components – 40 years; other building and land improvements – 20 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment – 5-10 years).

The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its real estate assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment of its existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, annually recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions that are considered permanent in nature. Under ASC Topic 360, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of an asset (both the annual estimated cash flow from future operations and the estimated cash flow from the theoretical sale of the asset) over its estimated holding period are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date. If any real estate asset held for investment is considered impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying value of the asset to its estimated fair value.

The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale. An asset is classified as held for sale after the approval of the Company's board of directors and after an active program to sell the asset has commenced. Upon the classification of a real estate asset as held for sale, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to the lower of its net book value or its estimated fair value, less costs to sell the asset. Subsequent to the classification of assets as held for sale, no further depreciation expense is recorded. Real estate assets held for sale are stated separately on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Upon a decision to no longer market an asset for sale, the asset is classified as an operating asset and depreciation expense is reinstated.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments at fair value under the provisions of ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The Company measures derivative financial instruments subject to master netting agreements on a net basis. The Company uses derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swap arrangements to manage or hedge its exposure to interest rate changes. Under ASC Topic 815, derivative instruments qualifying as hedges of specific cash flows are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with an offsetting increase or decrease to accumulated other comprehensive income, an equity account, until the hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. Quarterly, the Company evaluates the effectiveness of its cash flow hedges. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges is recognized immediately in earnings.

Fair value measurements

The Company applies the guidance in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to the valuation of real estate assets recorded at fair value, if any, to its impairment valuation analysis of real estate assets, to its disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments, principally indebtedness and to its derivative financial instruments. Fair value disclosures required under ASC Topic 820 are summarized in note 8 utilizing the following hierarchy:

• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

• Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” was issued. This new guidance establishes a single comprehensive revenue recognition model under U.S. GAAP and provides for enhanced disclosures. Under this new guidance, the amount of revenue recognized for certain transactions could differ from amounts recognized under existing accounting guidance and could also result in recognition in different reporting periods. Also, the provisions of ASU 2014-09 exclude revenue recognition regarding lease contracts. The new guidance is effective

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2017 and is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its results of operations.

In February 2015, Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”), “Consolidation,” was issued. The new guidance primarily amends current consolidation accounting guidance with respect to the evaluation criteria for determining whether certain limited partnerships or similar legal entities and certain variable interest entities are subject to consolidated reporting. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact this new standard may have on its financial position and results of operations.

2. REAL ESTATE ACTIVITY

Dispositions

The Company classifies real estate assets as held for sale after the approval of its board of directors and after the Company had commenced an active program to sell the assets. The Company had no assets classified as held for sale at March 31, 2015.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company classified three apartment communities, containing 645 units, as held for sale, including two communities, containing 337 units, in New York, New York and an additional community, containing 308 units, in Houston, Texas. This disposition activity was part of the Company’s investment strategy of recycling investment capital to fund investment and development of apartment communities. The Company determined that these communities did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting and, accordingly, their operating results were included in continuing operations through their sale dates in 2014. The communities were sold, and the Company recognized gains on sales, in the second and third quarters of 2014. The net income and net income attributable to the Company related to these three communities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Three months ended March 31, 2014
Net income	$	138
Net income, net of noncontrolling interest	$	154

In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company sold its remaining condominium retail space at the condominium community in Austin, Texas and recognized a gain of $1,773. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, gains on condominium sales activities were $810, resulting from the sale of the final residential condominium unit at the condominium community in Atlanta, Georgia.

3. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES

At March 31, 2015, the Company held investments in two individual limited liability companies (the “Apartment LLCs”) with institutional investors that own four apartment communities, including three communities located in Atlanta, Georgia and one community located in Washington, D.C. The Company has a 25% and 35% equity interest in these Apartment LLCs.

The Company accounts for its investments in the Apartment LLCs using the equity method of accounting. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company’s investment in the 35% owned Apartment LLC totaled $4,117 and $4,059, respectively, excluding the credit investments discussed below. The Company’s investment in the 25% owned Apartment LLC at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 reflects a credit investment of $16,621 and $16,624, respectively. These credit balances resulted from distribution of financing proceeds in excess of the Company’s historical cost upon the formation of the Apartment LLC and are reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The operating results of the Company include its allocable share of net income from the investments in the Apartment LLCs. The Company provides property and asset management services to the Apartment LLCs for which it earns fees.

1) The outstanding unsecured notes mature in 2017 and 2022.

2) Represents stated rate at March 31, 2015. As discussed below, the Company has entered into interest rate swap arrangements that effectively fix the interest rate under this facility through January 2018. At March 31, 2015, the effective blended interest rate under the Amended Term Loan was 2.69%, as a result of the refinancing of the Term Loan discussed below.

Debt maturities

The aggregate maturities of the Company’s indebtedness are as follows:

Remainder of 2015	$	2,168
2016		3,071
2017		153,296

Thereafter		550,000
	$	891,705

Debt issuances and retirements

There were no issuances or retirements of indebtedness for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Unsecured lines of credit

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a $300,000 syndicated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Syndicated Line”). The Syndicated Line had a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.225%, matured in 2016 and required the payment of annual facility fees of 0.225% of the aggregate loan commitments. In January 2015, the Company amended the $300,000 unsecured line of credit (the “Amended Syndicated Line”). The Amended Syndicated Line has a current stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.05% and is provided by a syndicate of nine financial institutions. The Amended Syndicated Line currently requires the payment of annual facility fees of 0.20% of the aggregate loan commitments. The Amended Syndicated Line matures in 2019 and may be extended for an additional year at the Company’s option, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Amended Syndicated Line provides for the interest rate and facility fee rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured debt. The component of the interest rate and the facility fee rate that are based on the Company’s credit ratings range from 0.875% to 1.55% and from 0.125% to 0.30%, respectively. The Amended Syndicated Line also includes a competitive bid option for borrowings up to 50% of the loan commitments, which may result in interest rates for such borrowings below the stated interest rates for the Amended Syndicated Line, depending on market conditions. The credit agreement for the Amended Syndicated Line contains customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default, including minimum fixed charge coverage, minimum unsecured interest coverage, and maximum leverage ratios. The Amended Syndicated Line also restricts the amount of capital the Company

At March 31, 2015, letters of credit to third parties totaling $122 had been issued for the account of the Company under this facility.

In 2014, the Company had a $30,000 unsecured line of credit that carried an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.225% and matured in 2016. In January 2015, the Company amended the $30,000 unsecured line of credit (the “Amended Cash Management Line”). The Amended Cash Management Line matures in 2019, includes a one-year extension option, and carries pricing and terms, including financial covenants, substantially consistent with the Amended Syndicated Line discussed above.

In connection with the refinancing of the Amended Syndicated Line, the Amended Cash Management Line and the Term Loan (discussed below) in January 2015, the Company incurred fees and expenses of $4,002. In connection with the refinancing of the Syndicated Line and Term Loan, discussed below, facilities in January 2015, the Company also recognized an extinguishment loss of $197 related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized deferred loan costs.

Unsecured term loan

At December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding a $300,000 unsecured bank term loan facility provided by a syndicate of eight financial institutions (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan carried a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.70% and matured in 2018. In January 2015, the Company amended the $300,000 unsecured bank term loan (the “Amended Term Loan”). The Amended Term Loan has a current stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.15% and is provided by a syndicate of eight financial institutions. The Amended Term Loan matures in January 2020. The Amended Term Loan provides for the stated interest rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured debt. The component of the interest rate based on the Company’s credit ratings ranges from 0.90% to 1.85%. The Amended Term Loan carries other terms, including financial covenants, substantially consistent with the Amended Syndicated Line discussed above. As discussed in note 8, the Company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to serve as cash flow hedges of amounts outstanding under the Term Loan. The interest rate swap arrangements effectively fix the LIBOR component of the interest rate paid under the Term Loan at a blended rate of approximately 1.54%. As a result, the effective blended interest rate on the Amended Term Loan is 2.69% (subject to adjustment based on subsequent changes in the Company’s credit ratings) through January 2018, the termination date of the interest rate swaps.

Debt compliance and other

The Company’s Amended Syndicated Line, Amended Cash Management Line, Amended Term Loan and senior unsecured notes contain customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default and require the Company to meet certain financial covenants. Debt service and fixed charge coverage covenants require the Company to maintain coverages of a minimum of 1.5 to 1.0, as defined in applicable debt arrangements. Additionally, the Company’s ratio of unencumbered adjusted property-level net operating income to unsecured interest expense may not be less than 2.0 to 1.0, as defined in the applicable debt arrangements. Leverage covenants generally require the Company to maintain calculated covenants above/below minimum/maximum thresholds. The primary leverage ratios under these arrangements include total debt to total asset value (maximum of 60%), total secured debt to total asset value (maximum of 40%) and unencumbered assets to unsecured debt (minimum of 1.5 to 1.0), as defined in the applicable debt arrangements. The Company believes it met these financial covenants at March 31, 2015.

5. EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Common stock

The Company has an at-the-market (“ATM”) common equity sales program for the sale of up to 4,000 shares of common stock. At March 31, 2015, the Company had not used this program and had 4,000 shares remaining for issuance.

In December 2014, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock and unsecured note repurchase program under which the Company and the Operating Partnership may repurchase up to $200,000 of common and preferred stock and unsecured notes through December 2017. There were no shares of common stock repurchased in the three months ended March 31, 2015 or in 2014 under this program or a previous stock repurchase program.

Noncontrolling interests

In accordance with ASC Topic 810, the Company and the Operating Partnership determined that the noncontrolling interests related to the common units of the Operating Partnership, held by persons other than the Company, met the criterion to be classified and accounted for as “temporary” equity (reflected outside of total equity as “Redeemable Common Units”). At March 31, 2015, and December 31, 2014, the aggregate redemption value of the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership was $6,865 and $7,086, respectively, representing their fair value at the respective dates. In prior periods, the Company had noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate entities that met the criterion to be classified and accounted for as a component of permanent equity.

A roll-forward of activity relating to the Company’s Redeemable Common Units for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015			2014
Redeemable common units, beginning of period	$	7,086		$	6,121
Comprehensive income		39			33

8. FAIR VALUE MEASURES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

From time to time, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Real estate assets may be stated at fair value if they become impaired in a given period and may be stated at fair value if they are held for sale and the fair value of such assets is below historical cost. Additionally, the Company records derivative financial instruments at fair value. The Company also uses fair value metrics to evaluate the carrying values of its real estate assets and for the disclosure of certain financial instruments. Fair value measurements were determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies available to management at March 31, 2015. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and estimate fair value. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates discussed herein, using Level 2 and 3 inputs, are indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the real estate assets or other financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Real estate assets

The Company periodically reviews its real estate assets, including operating assets, construction in progress and land held for future investment, for impairment purposes using Level 3 inputs, primarily comparable sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not recognize any impairment charges related to its real estate assets.

Derivatives and other financial instruments

The Company manages its exposure to interest rate changes through the use of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swap arrangements. At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding three interest rate swap arrangements with substantially similar terms and conditions. These arrangements have an aggregate notional amount of $230,000 and require the Company to pay a blended fixed rate of approximately 1.55% (with the counterparties paying the Company the floating one-month LIBOR rate). Additionally, the Company had outstanding a fourth interest rate swap arrangement with a notional amount of $70,000 and it requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of approximately 1.50% (with the counterparty paying the Company the floating one-month LIBOR rate) (together, the “Interest Rate Swaps”). The Interest Rate Swaps

19

POST PROPERTIES, INC. AND POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

serve as cash flow hedges of amounts outstanding under the Company’s variable rate Amended Term Loan (see note 4) and provide for an effective blended fixed rate for the corresponding amount of Amended Term Loan borrowings of approximately 2.69% (subject to an adjustment based on subsequent changes in the Company’s credit ratings) at March 31, 2015. The Interest Rate Swaps terminate in January 2018.

The Interest Rate Swaps are measured and accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The Interest Rate Swaps outstanding at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were valued as net liabilities of $5,233 and $3,685, respectively, primarily using level 2 inputs, as substantially all of the fair value was determined using widely accepted discounted cash flow valuation techniques along with observable market-based inputs for similar types of arrangements. The Company reflects both the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risks and its own nonperformance risks in its fair value measurements using unobservable inputs. However, the impact of such risks was not considered material to the overall fair value measurements of the derivatives. These liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. Under ASC Topic 815, a corresponding amount is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), an equity account, until the hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. The following table summarizes the effect of these Interest Rate Swaps (designated as cash flow hedges) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

	Three months ended March 31,
Interest Rate Swap / Cash Flow Hedging Instruments	2015			2014
Gain (loss) recognized in other comprehensive income	$	(2,571	)	$	(1,010	)
Loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into interest expense	$	(1,023	)	$	(1,029	)

The amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income as of March 31, 2015 will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made under the hedged indebtedness. Over the next year, the Company estimates that $3,615 will be reclassified from accumulated comprehensive income to interest expense.

As part of the Company’s on-going procedures, the Company monitors the credit worthiness of its financial institution counterparties and its exposure to any single entity, which it believes minimizes credit risk concentration. The Company believes the likelihood of realized losses from counterparty non-performance is remote. The Interest Rate Swaps are cross defaulted with the Company’s Amended Term Loan and Amended Syndicated Line (see note 4) and contain certain provisions consistent with these types of arrangements. If the Company was required to terminate the Interest Rate Swaps and settle the obligations thereunder as of March 31, 2015, the termination payment by the Company would have been approximately $5,254.

Other financial instruments

Cash equivalents, rents and accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 31, 2015, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $621,773 (carrying value of $591,705) and the fair value of variable rate debt, including the Company’s lines of credit, was approximately $300,000 (carrying value of $300,000). At December 31, 2014, the fair value of fixed rate debt was approximately $620,641 (carrying value of $592,459) and the fair value of variable rate debt, including the Company’s lines of credit, was approximately $304,983 (carrying value of $300,000). Long-term indebtedness was valued using Level 2 inputs, primarily market prices of comparable debt instruments.

9. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Segment description

In accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” the Company presents segment information based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment information is prepared on the same basis as the internally reported information used by the Company's chief operating decision makers to manage the business.

20

POST PROPERTIES, INC. AND POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

The Company’s chief operating decision makers focus on the Company’s primary sources of income from apartment community rental operations. Apartment community rental operations are generally broken down into segments based on the various stages in the apartment community ownership lifecycle. These segments are described below. All commercial properties and other ancillary service and support operations are combined in the line item “other property segments” in the accompanying segment information. The segment information presented below reflects the segment categories based on the lifecycle status of each community as of January 1, 2014.

• Fully stabilized communities – those apartment communities which have been stabilized (the earlier of the point at which a property reaches 95% occupancy or one year after completion of construction) for both 2015 and 2014.

• Newly stabilized communities – those apartment communities which reached stabilized occupancy in 2014.

• Lease-up communities – those apartment communities that are under development and lease-up but were not stabilized by the beginning of 2015, including communities that stabilized in 2015.

• Acquired communities – those communities acquired in 2015 or 2014.

• Held for sale and sold communities – those apartment and mixed-use communities classified as held for sale in 2015 and those communities sold in 2014 (see note 2).

Segment performance measure

Management uses contribution to consolidated property net operating income (“NOI”) as the performance measure for its operating segments. The Company uses NOI, including NOI of stabilized communities, as an operating measure. NOI is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (excluding depreciation and amortization). The Company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of operating segment groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that NOI, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss)” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expenses associated with the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The information discussed below relating to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans is also applicable for the Operating Partnership.

Incentive stock plans

Incentive stock awards are granted under the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Plan, as amended and restated in October 2008 (the “2003 Stock Plan”). Under the 2003 Stock Plan, an aggregate of 3,469 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Of this amount, stock grants count against the total shares available under the 2003 Stock Plan as 2.7 shares for every one share issued, while options (and stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) settled in shares) count against the total shares available as one share for every one share issued on the exercise of an option (or SAR). The exercise price of each option granted under the 2003 Stock Plan may not be less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the option grant and all options may have a maximum life of ten years. Participants receiving restricted stock grants are

22

POST PROPERTIES, INC. AND POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

generally eligible to vote such shares and receive dividends on such shares. Substantially all stock option and restricted stock grants are subject to annual vesting provisions (generally three to five years) as determined by the compensation committee overseeing the 2003 Stock Plan.

Compensation costs for stock options have been estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model are as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015	2014
Dividend yield	2.7%	2.8%
Expected volatility	42.8%	43.0%
Risk-free interest rate	1.4%	1.8%
Expected option term (years)	6.0 years	6.0 years

The Company’s assumptions were derived from the methodologies discussed herein. The expected dividend yield reflects the Company’s current historical yield, which was expected to approximate the future yield at the date of grant. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options was based on the implied yields on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant. The weighted average expected option term was based on the Company’s historical data for prior period stock option exercise and forfeiture activity.

Restricted stock

Compensation cost for restricted stock is amortized ratably into compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. Total compensation expense related to restricted stock was $1,467 and $770 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. At March 31, 2015, there was $5,628 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.2 years.

A summary of the activity related to the Company’s restricted stock for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2015					2014
	Shares			Weighted-Avg. Grant-Date Fair Value		Shares		Weighted-Avg. Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested shares, beginning of period		76		$	49		75	$	48
Granted (1)		68			60		55		47
Vested		(3	)		52		—		—
Unvested shares, end of period		141			54		130		47

1) The total value of the restricted share grants for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $4,123 and $2,566, respectively.

Stock options

Compensation cost for stock options is amortized ratably into compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $178 and $139 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, recognized under the fair value method. At March 31, 2015, there was $837 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

1) At March 31, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding, exercisable and vested/expected to vest was $1,215, $922 and $1,200, respectively. At that same date, the weighted average remaining contractual lives of stock options outstanding, exercisable and vested/expected to vest was 7.3 years, 5.8 years and 7.3 years, respectively.

Upon the exercise of stock options, the Company issues shares of common stock from treasury shares or, to the extent treasury shares are not available, from authorized common shares. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $548 and $1,292, respectively.

At March 31, 2015, the Company segregated its outstanding options into two ranges, based on exercise prices, as follows:

Option Ranges	Options Outstanding						Options Exercisable
	Shares		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price		Weighted Avg. Life (Years)		Shares		Weighted Avg. Exercise Price
$37.04 - $46.93		80	$	44		6.6		56	$	43
$48.00 - $60.40		58		55		8.3		21		50
Total		138		49		7.3		77		45

Employee stock purchase plan

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) approved by Company shareholders in 2014. The maximum number of shares issuable under the ESPP is 250. The purchase price of shares of common stock under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lesser of the closing price per share of common stock on the first or last day of the trading period, as defined. The Company records the aggregate cost of the ESPP (generally the 15% discount on the share purchases) as a period expense. Total compensation expense relating to the ESPP was $54 and $39 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

11. INCOME TAXES

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level on the taxable income it distributes to its shareholders. Should the Company fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, it may be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. The Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.

The Operating Partnership files tax returns as a limited partnership under the Code. As a partnership, the income and losses of the Operating Partnership are allocated to its partners, including the Company, for inclusion in their respective income tax

24

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

returns. Accordingly, no provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in the accompanying Operating Partnership financial statements. The Operating Partnership intends to make sufficient cash distributions to the Company to enable it to meet its annual REIT distribution requirements.

In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions, the Company, the Operating Partnership and its taxable REIT subsidiaries assert certain tax positions based on their understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities may challenge such positions and the resolution of such matters could result in the payment and recognition of additional income tax expense. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns. The Company and its subsidiaries, including the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions for years 2011 through 2013. Net income tax loss carryforwards and other tax attributes generated in years prior to 2011 are also subject to challenge in any examination of the 2011 to 2013 tax years.

The Company utilizes TRSs principally to perform such non-REIT activities as asset and property management and other services. These TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes. No income tax expense (benefit) was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. The income tax attributes associated with the TRSs are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

12. OTHER EXPENSES

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 included expenses of approximately $157 related to the upgrade of the Company’s operating and financial software systems and casualty losses of $750 primarily related to extreme winter weather conditions in many of the Company’s markets, and due to fire damage at one of the Company’s Atlanta, Georgia communities.

13. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In September 2010, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by the Company in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The plaintiff seeks statutory damages and a civil penalty in unspecified amounts, as well as injunctive relief that includes retrofitting apartments and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. The Company filed a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, where a previous civil case involving alleged violations of the FHA and ADA by the Company was filed and ultimately dismissed. On October 29, 2010, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued an opinion finding that the complaint shows that the DOJ’s claims are essentially the same as the previous civil case, and, therefore, granted the Company’s motion and transferred the DOJ’s case to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Discovery has closed, and the Court has denied motions filed by the parties relating to additional discovery and expert witnesses. Each party filed Motions for Summary Judgment, which were briefed in April 2014. In March 2015, the Court denied both Motions for Summary Judgment and requested supplemental briefing by June 2015. Until such time as the court issues rulings on the application of the law to the facts of this case, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the legal proceeding, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that would be associated with an adverse decision.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to their business from time to time, some of which are expected to be covered by liability or other insurance. Management of the Company believes that any resolution of pending proceedings or liability to the Company which may arise as a result of these various other legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Company overview

Post Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries develop, own and manage upscale multi-family apartment communities in selected markets in the United States. The Company through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the sole general partner, a limited partner and owns a majority interest in Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Georgia limited partnership. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries conducts substantially all of the on-going operations of the Company, a publicly traded corporation which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). As used herein, the term “Company” includes Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Post Apartment Homes, L.P., unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company has elected to qualify and operate as a self-administrated and self-managed REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate interests and is generally not subject to federal income tax on the income it distributes to its shareholders. The Operating Partnership is governed under the provisions of a limited partnership agreement, as amended. Under the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, as amended, Operating Partnership net profits, net losses and cash flow (after allocations to preferred ownership interests) are allocated to the partners in proportion to their common ownership interests. Cash distributions from the Operating Partnership shall be, at a minimum, sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its annual dividend requirements to maintain its REIT status under the Code.

At March 31, 2015, the Company had interests in 23,350 apartment units in 59 communities, including 1,471 apartment units in four communities held in unconsolidated entities and 1,819 apartment units in five communities currently under development. At March 31, 2015, approximately 29.1%, 21.9%, 13.5% and 10.9% (on a unit basis) of the Company’s operating communities were located in the Atlanta, Georgia, Dallas, Texas, the greater Washington, D.C. and Tampa, Florida metropolitan areas, respectively.

At March 31, 2015, the Company owned approximately 99.8% of the common limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership. Common Units held by persons other than the Company represented a 0.2% common noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership.

The discussion below is combined for the Company and the Operating Partnership as their results of operations and financial conditions are substantially the same except for the effect of the 0.2% weighted average common noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership.

Operations Overview

The following discussion provides an overview of the Company’s operations, and should be read in conjunction with the more full discussion of the Company’s operating results, liquidity and capital resources and risk factors reflected elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Property Operations

Favorable market fundamentals and demographics, a steadily improving economy and jobs market, and a still weak first-time homeowner market have contributed to improved multi-family housing demand and, consequently, positive revenue and net operating income (“NOI”) in the Company’s markets since 2010. Year-over-year same store revenues and net operating income (“NOI”) increased by 2.4% and 1.2%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2015, as compared to the first quarter of 2014. The Company’s operating results for the first quarter of 2015 and its outlook for the remainder of 2015 are more fully discussed in the “Results of Operations” and “Outlook” sections below. The Company’s outlook for 2015 is based on the expectation that economic and employment conditions will continue to steadily improve. However, there continues to be risk and uncertainty in the economy and the jobs market. If the economic recovery was to stall or U.S. economic conditions were to worsen, the Company’s operating results would be adversely affected. Furthermore, development of new multi-family rental units has continued to increase, which has increased the competitive supply of rental units in the markets in which the Company operates. This new supply contributed to a moderation in the rate of rental income and NOI growth in recent years and this trend is expected to persist in 2015.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

Development Activity

In 2015, the Company initiated construction of Post Midtown™ in Atlanta, Georgia, consisting of 356 apartment units and total budgeted costs of $90,600. In 2014, the Company initiated construction of three apartment communities (Post Parkside™ at Wade, Phase II, Post Galleria™ and Post South Lamar™, Phase II) containing 1,123 apartment units and 5,800 square feet of retail space. Total budgeted development and construction costs for these projects were $199,300. In addition, the Company has an additional community (The High Rise at Post Alexander™), containing 340 apartment units and total budget costs of $75,500, under construction at March 31, 2015. These communities are summarized in “Liquidity and Capital Revenues” section below under the sub-caption “Current Communities Under Development.”

In 2015, the Company completed the lease-up of Post 510™ in Houston, Texas, consisting of 242 apartment units. This community was 95.9% leased at May 1, 2015. In 2014, the Company completed the lease-up of three additional communities (Post Parkside™ at Wade, Phase I, Post Lake^® at Baldwin Park, Phase III and Post Soho Square™) containing 1,038 apartment units and 25,464 square feet of retail space.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 included revenues of $5,181 and $1,878 and net operating income of $3,132 and $679, respectively, from newly stabilized and lease-up communities.

The square footage amounts are approximate and actual amounts may vary. The Company currently expects to utilize available cash, available borrowing capacity under its unsecured bank credit facilities, or other indebtedness, and, from time to time, asset sales to fund future estimated construction expenditures.

In addition, the Company may commence development activities at more of its existing land sites over the next two years. Management believes, however, that the timing of such development starts will depend largely on a continued favorable outlook for multi-family apartment rentals, capital market conditions and the U.S. economy. Until such time as additional development activities commence or certain land positions are sold, the Company expects that operating results will be adversely impacted by costs of carrying land held for future investment or sale. There can be no assurance that land held for investment will be developed in the future or at all. Although the Company does not believe that any impairment exists at March 31, 2015, should the Company change its expectations regarding the timing and projected undiscounted future cash flows expected from land held for future investment, or the estimated fair value of its assets, the Company could be required to recognize impairment losses in future periods.

Financing Activity

In the first quarter of 2015, the Company refinanced its $330,000 unsecured lines of credit and $300,000 unsecured term loan facilities, resulting in reduced interest rates and extended maturity rates. These refinancings, coupled with the prepayment of secured indebtedness totaling $202,627 in 2014 from proceeds from apartment community sales, resulted in reduced gross interest expense from $12,090 in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $9,075 in the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data and with all of the accompanying consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion is combined for the Company and the Operating Partnership as their results of operations and financial condition are substantially the same except for the effect of the 0.2% weighted average common minority interest in the Operating Partnership. See the summary financial information in the section below titled, “Results of Operations.”

• Other factors, including the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of the Company’s Form 10-K.

Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and management undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.

Critical accounting policies and new accounting pronouncements

In the preparation of financial statements and in the determination of Company operating performance, the Company utilizes certain significant accounting policies. The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. For a complete description of the Company’s critical accounting policies, please refer to pages 29 to 31 of the Company’s Form 10-K. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The discussion below details the Company’s critical accounting policies related to asset impairments as well as the impact of the new accounting pronouncements relating to revenue recognition and consolidated reporting.

The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its real estate assets using the methodology summarized in its accounting policies (see note 1 to the consolidated financial statements). Under current accounting literature, the evaluation of the recoverability of the Company’s real estate assets requires the judgment of Company management in the determination of the future cash flows expected from the assets and the estimated holding period for the assets. The Company uses market capitalization rates to determine the estimated residual value of its operating real estate assets and, generally, takes a long-term view of the holding period of its assets unless specific facts and circumstances warrant shorter holding periods (expected sales, departures from certain geographic markets, etc.). The Company considers a real estate asset held for investment as impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset (both the annual estimated cash flow from future operations and the estimated cash flow from the asset’s eventual sale) over its expected holding period are less than the asset’s net book value. For real estate assets held for sale, if any, the Company recognizes impairment losses if an asset’s net book value is in excess of its estimated fair value, less costs to sell. At March 31, 2015, management believed it had applied reasonable estimates and judgments in determining the proper classification of its real estate assets and determined that no impairment existed. See notes 1 and 8 to the consolidated financial statements for a further discussion of the Company’s methodologies for determining the fair value of the Company’s real estate assets. Should external or internal circumstances change requiring the need to shorten the holding periods or adjust the estimated future cash flows of certain of the Company’s assets, the Company could be required to record impairment charges in the future.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

In May 2014, Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” was issued. This new guidance establishes a single comprehensive revenue recognition model under U.S. GAAP and provides for enhanced disclosures. Under this new guidance, the amount of revenue recognized for certain transactions could differ from amounts recognized under existing accounting guidance and could also result in recognition in different reporting periods. Also, the provisions of ASU 2014-09 exclude revenue recognition regarding lease contracts. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2017 and is currently evaluating the impact that this new guidance may have on its results of operations.

In February 2015, Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02 (“ASU 2015-02”), “Consolidation,” was issued. The new guidance primarily amends current consolidation accounting guidance with respect to the evaluation criteria for determining whether certain limited partnerships or similar legal entities and certain variable interest entities are subject to consolidated reporting. The new guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 and is currently evaluating the impact this new standard may have on its financial position and results of operations.

Results of operations

The following discussion of results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of operations and the community operations/segment performance information included below.

The Company’s revenues and earnings from continuing operations are generated primarily from the operation of its apartment communities. For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, the Company categorizes its operating apartment communities based on the period each community reaches stabilized occupancy. The Company generally considers a community to have achieved stabilized occupancy on the earlier to occur of (1) attainment of 95% physical occupancy on the first day of any month or (2) one year after completion of construction.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s portfolio of operating apartment communities, excluding four communities held in unconsolidated entities, consisted of the following: (1) 50 communities that were completed and stabilized for all of the current and prior year, (2) two communities and portions of one community which reached stabilized occupancy in 2014, and (3) one community in lease-up and which reached stabilized occupancy in 2015.

The Company has adopted an accounting policy related to communities in the lease-up stage whereby substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing and management and leasing personnel expenses) are expensed as incurred. During the lease-up phase, the sum of interest expense on completed units and other operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing and management and leasing personnel expenses) will initially exceed rental revenues, resulting in a “lease-up deficit,” which continues until such time as rental revenues exceed such expenses. Lease-up deficits for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 were $0 and $501, respectively. The Company expects to incur lease-up deficits for the full year of 2015 at lease-up communities, as the Company delivers completed apartment units at newly constructed communities.

In order to evaluate the operating performance of its communities for the comparative years listed below, the Company has presented financial information which summarizes the rental and other revenues, property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) and net operating income on a comparative basis for all of its operating communities and for its stabilized operating communities. Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating income. Net operating income is reconciled to GAAP net income in the financial information accompanying the tables. The Company believes that net operating income is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, operating segment groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that net operating income, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community.

8) In addition to those expenses which relate to property operations, the Company incurs annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures relating to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset, all of which are capitalized. Recurring capital expenditures are those that are generally expected to be incurred on an annual basis. Periodically recurring capital expenditures are those that generally occur less frequently than on an annual basis.

Fully stabilized communities

The Company defines fully stabilized communities as those which have reached stabilization prior to the beginning of the previous year. For the 2015 to 2014 comparison, fully stabilized communities are defined as those communities which reached stabilization prior to January 1, 2014. This portfolio consisted of 50 communities with 18,780 units, including 12 communities with 5,065 units (27.0%) located in Atlanta, Georgia, 15 communities with 4,725 units (25.2%) located in Dallas, Texas, 6 communities with 2,645 units (14.1%) located in the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area, 4 communities with 2,111 units (11.2%) located in Tampa, Florida, 5 communities with 1,748 units (9.3%) located in Charlotte, North Carolina and 8 communities with 2,486 units (13.2%) located in other markets. The operating performance of these communities was as follows:

The Company uses same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures as cash flow measures. Same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are important indicators of the costs incurred by the Company in maintaining same store communities. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the Company’s other operating segments consisting of newly stabilized communities, lease-up communities, acquired communities, held for sale and/or sold communities and commercial properties in addition to same store information. Therefore, the Company believes that its presentation of same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is necessary to demonstrate same store replacement costs over time. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is the line on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows entitled “total property capital expenditures.”

3) Average monthly rental rate is defined as the gross actual rental rates for leased units and the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied units, divided by total units.

4) Average economic occupancy is defined as gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses and bad debt expenses divided by gross potential rent for the period, expressed as a percentage. Gross potential rent is defined as the sum of the gross actual rental rates for leased units and the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied units. The calculation of average economic occupancy does not include a deduction for net concessions and employee discounts. Average economic occupancy, including these amounts, would have been 94.4% and 94.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, net concessions were $258 and $462, respectively, and employee discounts were $159 and $160, respectively. Physical occupancy is defined as the number of units occupied divided by the total apartment units, expressed as a percentage.

5) Gross turnover represents the percentage of leases expiring during the period that are not renewed by the existing resident(s).

6) Percentage change is calculated using the respective new or renewed rental rate as of the date of a new lease, as compared with the previous rental rate on that same unit. Accordingly, these percentage changes may differ from the change in the average monthly rental rate per unit due to the timing of move-ins and/or the term of the respective leases.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2015 to three months ended March 31, 2014

The Operating Partnership reported net income available to common unitholders of $19,063 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $13,347 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $19,021 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to $13,314 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. As discussed below, the increase in income between periods primarily reflects reduced interest expense, a gain on the sale of a retail condominium property in 2015 and due to the incremental improvement in the operating performance of the Company’s operating communities.

Rental and other revenues from property operations decreased $175 or 0.2% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to decreased revenues of $5,871 from the sales of three communities in 2014, offset by increased revenues from the Company’s fully stabilized communities of $1,909 or 2.4%, increased revenues of $2,300 from newly stabilized communities and increased revenues of $1,003 from lease-up communities. The revenue decrease from held for sale and sold communities primarily reflects the sale of one community in May 2014 and two communities in September 2014. The revenue increase from fully stabilized communities is discussed in more detail below. The revenue increase from newly stabilized communities reflects the stabilization of two communities and portions of one community in 2014. The revenue increase from lease-up communities reflects the lease-up of one community in 2014 and into 2015.

Property operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) decreased $473 or 1.2% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to decreased expenses of $3,098 from the sales of three communities (discussed above) in 2014, partially offset by increases from fully stabilized communities of $1,323 or 4.3%, increases of $473 from newly stabilized communities, increases of $377 from lease-up communities, and increases of $452 from other property segments. The increased expense from fully stabilized communities is discussed in more detail below. The expense increase from newly stabilized communities reflects the stabilization of two communities and portions of one community in 2014. The expense increase from lease-up communities primarily reflects the operating expenses associated with the lease-up of one development community that began delivering apartment units in 2014. The expense increase from other property segments primarily reflects modest increases in commercial property expenses as well as modest increases in corporate property management expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no sales of wholly owned apartment communities. The Company may continue to be a seller of apartment communities in future periods depending on market conditions and consistent with its investment strategy of recycling investment capital to fund investment and development activities and to provide additional cash liquidity, as discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below. The timing and amount of future gain recognition will fluctuate based on the size and individual age of apartment communities sold.

In the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company sold its remaining retail condominium space at the Company’s former condominium community in Austin, Texas and recognized a gain of $1,773. The Company has no further investment in residential or retail condominium properties at March 31, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, gains on condominium sales activities were $810, resulting from the sale of the final residential condominium unit at the Company’s former condominium community in Atlanta, Georgia.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

Depreciation expense decreased $510 or 2.3% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to decreased depreciation of $1,239 from the sale of the communities in 2014, partially offset by increased depreciation of $348 related to the completion of apartment units at one lease-up community beginning in mid-2014 and $480 related to newly stabilized communities.

General and administrative expenses increased $886 or 21.5% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to increased net compensation costs primarily due to increased long-term incentive plan expense resulting from the accelerated vesting of annual awards for certain officers who reached the retirement age under the Company’s incentive compensation plans and due to increased awards for other officers between years. General and administrative expenses also increased due to somewhat higher annual incentive plan expenses in 2015 primarily due to the timing of expense recognition between years.

Investment and development expenses decreased $576 or 71.0% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to increased capitalization development personnel and associated costs of $646 between years. This increase was due to increased capitalization at four communities commenced in 2014 and 2015, partially offset by the reduction of development capitalization at four communities that were completed in 2014. Additionally, development personnel and other costs increased by $70 between years. The Company expects to continue to complete portions of its existing development pipeline in 2015 and also expects to commence new developments later in 2015. The Company expects that the capitalization of development costs and expenses will be moderately higher in 2015, which will result in decreased net investment and development expenses in 2015.

Other investment costs decreased $139 or 50.9% from 2014 to 2015. Other investment costs primarily include land carry expenses, such as property taxes and assessments. The decrease primarily reflects reduced land carry expenses related to land placed under development in 2014 and 2015.

Interest expense decreased $3,151 or 28.0% from 2014 to 2015 primarily due to decreased interest costs of $2,704 resulting from the prepayment of $202,627 of mortgage indebtedness in 2014, using available cash and net proceeds from apartment community sales, decreased interest costs of $311 on unsecured bank line of credit and term loan facilities resulting from the January 2015 refinancing of these facilities at lower rates and increased interest capitalization to development of $136. Increased interest capitalization on the Company’s development projects primarily related to increased capitalization at five communities under construction that commenced in 2013, 2014 and 2015, partially offset by decreased interest capitalization on four communities substantially completed in 2014. The Company expects interest expense for the full year of 2015 to be lower than in 2014 due to decreased interest costs resulting from the early retirement of certain mortgage indebtedness associated with apartment communities sold in 2014, the January 2015 refinancing of the Company’s unsecured credit facilities at lower interest rates, and increased interest capitalization on increased development and construction activities between years.

Other expenses of $907 in 2014 included expenses of $157 related to the upgrade of the Company’s operating and financial software systems and casualty losses of $750 related to extreme weather conditions in many of the Company’s markets, and due to fire damage at one of the Company’s Atlanta, Georgia communities.

Annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures decreased $1,976 or 40.0% from 2014 to 2015. The decrease in periodically recurring capital expenditures of $1,823 primarily reflects reduced structural improvements at two communities, reduced tenant improvements at an office property, reduced expenditures at three communities sold in 2014 as well as the recovery of prior year capital expenditures totaling $545 through vendor litigation related to the replacement of sprinkler systems at one community in 2015, partially offset by increased structural and exterior remediation improvement projects at two communities in 2015. For the full year 2015, the Company expects periodically recurring capital expenditures to be modestly higher than 2014 primarily due to the timing of exterior remediation projects between years. The decrease in annually recurring capital expenditures of $153 primarily reflects reduced expenditures at three communities sold in 2014 and the general timing of expenditures between years. For the full year 2015, the Company expects annually recurring capital expenditures to be moderately higher than 2014 primarily due to targeted equipment and structural upgrades at one community and modest increases throughout the portfolio in 2015.

Fully stabilized communities

Rental and other revenues increased $1,909 or 2.4% from 2014 to 2015. This increase primarily resulted from a 2.5% increase in the average monthly rental rate per apartment unit between periods. The increase in average rental rates resulted in a revenue increase of approximately $2,002 between periods. Average economic occupancy decreased from 95.3% in

35

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

2014 to 94.9% in 2015, respectively. The decrease in occupancy rates between periods resulted in higher vacancy losses of $389 in 2015. The remaining increase in rental and other property revenues of $296 was primarily due to increased leasing fees and lower net concessions between years. Average rental rate increases were primarily due to increasing rental demand resulting from a gradually improving economy, favorable demographics and favorable market fundamentals. See the “Outlook” section below for an additional discussion of revenue trends for 2015.

Property operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $1,323 or 4.3% from 2014 to 2015. This increase was primarily due to increased property tax expenses of $963 or 7.5%, increased personnel expenses of $177 or 2.6% and increased maintenance expenses of $231 or 6.1%. The increase in property tax expenses primarily reflects increased expense accruals in 2015 due to higher expected real estate valuations by tax authorities in most of the Company’s markets. Maintenance expenses increased due to the timing of exterior paint and grounds maintenance expenses between years, somewhat offset by an expense recovery of $194 related to prior year water damage claims at one community. Personnel expenses increased primarily due to annual salary increases. See the “Outlook” section below for a discussion of expense trends for 2015.

Asset disposals

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company classified three apartment communities, containing 645 units, as held for sale. Two of the communities, containing 337 units were located in New York, New York and the additional community, containing 308 units, was located in Houston, Texas. The Company determined that these communities did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations reporting and, accordingly, were included in continuing operations. These communities were sold, and the Company recognized gains on sales, in the second and third quarters of 2014. This disposition activity is part of the Company’s on-going investment strategy of recycling investment capital to fund investment and development of apartment communities. The revenues, expenses and net income associated with these three communities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were as follows:

	Three months ended March 31, 2014
Revenues
Rental	$	5,772
Other property revenues		99
Total revenues		5,871
Property operating and maintenance expenses		(3,098	)
Net operating income		2,773
Other expenses
Depreciation		(1,239	)
Interest		(1,337	)
Amortization of deferred financing costs		(59	)
Net income	$	138
Net income, net of noncontrolling interest	$	154

As discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below, the Company has sold and may continue to sell real estate assets in future periods as part of its overall investment, disposition and acquisition strategy depending upon market conditions. As such, the Company may continue to have additional assets classified as held for sale; however, the timing and amount of future asset sales will fluctuate based on the size and individual age of the apartment communities sold and, as a result, the future impact on aggregate revenues, expenses and gain recognition will vary from year to year.

Outlook

The outlook and assumptions presented below are forward-looking and are based on the Company’s future view of apartment market and general economic conditions, as well as other risks outlined above under the caption “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the outlook and assumptions set forth below. The Company assumes no obligation to update this outlook in the future.

36

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

The Company’s outlook for 2015 is based on the expectation that economic and employment conditions will continue to steadily improve. However, there continues to be risk and uncertainty in the economy and the jobs market. If the economic recovery was to stall or U.S. economic conditions were to worsen, the Company’s operating results would be adversely affected. Furthermore, a moderate supply of new apartment units over the past several years, coupled with improving multi-family housing demand in the Company’s markets, has generally supported improved operating fundamentals in the multi-family rental markets. As such, development of new multi-family rental units has continued to increase, which has increased the competitive supply of new rental units in the markets in which the Company operates. This new supply has contributed to a moderation in the rate of rental income and NOI growth in recent years and this trend is expected to persist in 2015.

Rental and other revenues from fully stabilized communities are expected to increase moderately for 2015, compared to 2014, driven primarily by new and renewed leases being completed at moderately higher market rental rates, as the Company expects to generally maintain occupancy levels relatively consistent with those in 2014. The rate of revenue growth is expected to be somewhat consistent with 2014, as increased demand attributable to a steadily improving economy and jobs market and a still weak first-time homebuyer market offsets increases in the new supply of competitive rental apartments in most markets. Operating expenses of fully stabilized communities are expected to increase moderately for 2015, compared to 2014. The Company expects property tax, personnel and utility expenses to be the largest contributors to operating expense growth. As a result, management expects fully stabilized community net operating income to increase modestly for 2015. Further, management expects net operating income from newly stabilized communities to increase moderately in 2015 as these communities reached stabilized occupancy in 2014. Management also expects that net operating income from lease-up communities will increase moderately in 2015. Offsetting these increases, net operating income is expected to decline in 2015 due to the impact of the sale of three communities in 2014.

Management expects general and administrative, property management and investment and development expenses (before amounts capitalized to development projects) to increase moderately for 2015, compared to 2014, but are expected to be more than offset by increases in amounts capitalized to development projects. Capitalized development personnel and costs are expected to increase in 2015 due to five apartment communities under construction at March 31, 2015 and the expectation of additional development starts in 2015. Other expenses are expected to decline in 2015 due to the completion of technology system upgrades in 2014 and due to the timing of weather-related and casualty losses in 2014.

Management expects interest expense for 2015 to be lower than in 2014 due to the early retirement of indebtedness in connection with asset sales in 2014, as well as the refinancing of the Company’s unsecured term loan and line of credit facilities at lower interest rates in January 2015, and due to increased interest capitalization to expected increases in the volume of communities under construction in 2015.

The Company currently expects to utilize available cash, retained 2015 operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity under its unsecured bank credit facilities, or other indebtedness and, from time to time, asset sales to fund future estimated construction expenditures. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section below where discussed further. The Company’s 2015 outlook does not currently anticipate any additional share issuances under the Company’s at-the-market equity program in 2015. Future sales under the at-the-market common equity program will depend upon a variety of factors, including, among others, the volume of investment activities, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock relative to other sources of capital and the Company’s liquidity position.

Liquidity and capital resources

The discussion in this Liquidity and capital resources section is the same for the Company and the Operating Partnership, except that all indebtedness described herein has been incurred by the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities increased from $31,352 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $36,401 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to reduced net interest expense and increased property net operating income in 2015 from fully stabilized, newly stabilized and lease-up communities. For the full year 2015, the Company expects cash flows from operating activities to increase moderately resulting from expected increases from fully stabilized, newly stabilized and lease-up communities, offset by apartment communities sold in 2014, as discussed above, and due to lower interest expense in 2015.

Net cash flows used in investing activities increased from $21,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $22,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to increased construction and development expenditures between

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

periods, as certain development projects were nearing completion in 2014 and new projects were commenced in 2014 and in early 2015. For the full year 2015, the Company expects to continue to incur development expenditures on its existing development projects. The Company may sell certain apartment communities in 2015 as part of its overall investment, disposition and acquisition strategy depending on market conditions. However, there can be no assurance that any sales will occur.

Net cash flows used in financing activities increased from $17,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $28,469 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to increased dividends to shareholders between years as well as payments of financing costs associated with debt refinancing activities in 2015. For the full year 2015, based on its current outlook, the Company expects minimal to no new debt issuances or equity issuances under its at-the-market equity program as the Company currently expects to use available cash and cash flow from operations to fund current development expenditures, and no debt is scheduled to mature in 2015.

Since 1993, the Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Management currently intends to continue operating the Company as a REIT in 2015. As a REIT, the Company is subject to a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income it distributes to its shareholders.

Generally, the Company’s objective is to meet its short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of its current level of quarterly preferred and common stock dividends to shareholders through its net cash flows provided by operating activities, less its annually recurring and periodically recurring property and corporate capital expenditures. These operating capital expenditures are the capital expenditures necessary to maintain the earnings capacity of the Company’s operating assets over time. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s net cash flow from operations, reduced by annual operating capital expenditures, was sufficient to fully fund the Company’s dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders.

The Company’s board of directors has established a current quarterly dividend rate of $0.40 per common share. The Company currently expects to at least maintain the quarterly dividend payment rate to common shareholders of $0.40 per common share for 2015. However, future dividend payments by the Company will be paid at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on the actual funds from operations of the Company, the Company’s financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant. The Company’s board of directors reviews the dividend quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.

To the extent the Company continues to pay dividends at rates determined by the board of directors, the Company expects to use net cash flows from operations reduced by annual operating capital expenditures to fund the dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders. The Company may also use cash and cash equivalents and, if its net cash flows from operations are not sufficient to meet its anticipated dividend payment rate, line of credit borrowings to fund dividend payments. The Company’s dividends can be paid as a combination of cash and stock in order to satisfy the annual distribution requirements applicable to REITs. To the extent that management considers it advisable to distribute gains from any future asset sales to shareholders in the form of a special dividend, the Company may pay a portion of such dividend in the form of stock to preserve liquidity. The Company’s net cash flow from operations continues to be sufficient to meet the dividend requirements necessary to maintain its REIT status.

The Company generally expects to utilize available net cash flow from operations, net proceeds from the sale of certain operating communities, available cash and cash equivalents and available capacity under its revolving lines of credit to fund its short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, dividends and distributions on its common and preferred equity and its debt service requirements. The Company generally expects to fund its long-term liquidity requirements, including maturities of long-term debt and acquisition and development activities, through long-term unsecured and secured borrowings, possibly through the sale of selected operating communities, through net proceeds from the Company’s at-the-market common equity program and possibly through equity or leveraged joint venture arrangements. As it has done in the past, the Company may also use joint venture arrangements in future periods to reduce its market concentrations in certain markets, build critical mass in other markets and to reduce its exposure to certain risks of its future development activities.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

As previously discussed, the Company has used the proceeds from the sale of selected operating communities and condominium homes as one means of funding its development and acquisition activities. Total net sales proceeds from operating community and condominium sales for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for the full year of 2014 were $4,827 and $331,578, respectively. The proceeds from these asset sales were used to prepay certain mortgage indebtedness, to increase available cash and cash equivalent balances and to fund development and investment activities. As of March 31, 2015, the Company had no apartment communities held for sale.

In May 2012, the Company adopted an at-the-market common equity sales program for the sale of up to 4,000 shares of common stock. At March 31, 2015, the Company had not used the new program and had 4,000 shares remaining for issuance. The Company has used previous programs and may use this program, from time to time, as an additional source of capital and liquidity and to maintain the strength of its balance sheet. Sales under the program will be dependent on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s common stock relative to other sources of capital and the Company’s liquidity position.

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s aggregate pipeline of five apartment communities under development totaled approximately $365,400, of which approximately $247,600 remained to be incurred by the Company. The Company may also begin additional developments in 2015 and in future periods. The Company currently expects to utilize available cash, retained cash flow from operations, available borrowing capacity under its unsecured bank credit facilities, or other indebtedness and, from time to time, asset sales to fund future estimated construction expenditures.

As of May 1, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $105,000. Additionally, the Company had no outstanding borrowings, and $122 of outstanding letters of credit under its $330,000 combined unsecured revolving line of credit facilities. The terms, conditions and restrictive covenants associated with the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit facilities, term loan and senior unsecured notes are summarized in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. Management believes the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Company’s unsecured revolving lines of credit, term loan and senior unsecured notes at March 31, 2015.

Management believes it will have adequate available cash and capacity under its unsecured revolving lines of credit to execute its 2015 business plan and meet its short-term liquidity requirements. The Company also currently believes that it will continue to have access to additional equity capital, unsecured debt financing and secured debt financing through loan programs sponsored by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and other secured lenders. In the past, the Company has utilized loan programs sponsored by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a key source of capital to finance its growth and its operations. Should these entities discontinue providing liquidity to the multi-family sector, it could significantly reduce the Company’s access to debt capital and/or increase borrowing costs and could adversely affect the development of multi-family homes. In addition, the amount and timing of any new debt financings may be limited by restrictive covenants under the Company’s current unsecured debt arrangements, such as coverage ratios and limitations on aggregate secured debt as a percentage of total assets, as defined. There can be no assurances that secured financing will continue to be available through U.S. government sponsored programs and other secured lenders or that the Company’s access to additional debt financings will not be limited by its financial covenants.

Unsecured Line of Credit and Term Loan Refinancing

In January 2015, the Company closed the refinancing of its $330,000 unsecured lines of credit for an initial four-year term maturing in January 2019, with a one-year extension option. The refinancing reduced the current stated interest rate from London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 1.225%, to LIBOR plus 1.05%. The current stated annual facility fee was also reduced to 0.20% of the aggregate loan commitments. Also in January 2015, the Company closed the refinancing of its $300 million unsecured bank term loan facility which extends the maturity date from January 2018 to January 2020. The refinanced term loan facility reduced the current stated interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.70% to LIBOR plus 1.15%. The Company maintains interest rate swap agreements that fix the variable interest cost associated with this term loan facility through its prior maturity date in January 2018. The blended effective interest rate, after considering the impact of the interest rate swap arrangements, was reduced from 3.24% to 2.69% through January 2018, the termination date of the interest rate swap arrangements.

Stock and debt repurchase programs

In May 2012, the Company adopted an at-the-market common equity sales program for the sale of up to 4,000 shares of common stock. At March 31, 2015, the Company had not used the new program and had 4,000 shares remaining for issuance. The Company has used previous at-the-market equity programs and may use this program, from time to time, as an additional source of capital and liquidity and to maintain the strength of its balance sheet.

In December 2014, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock and unsecured note repurchase program under which the Company and the Operating Partnership may repurchase up to $200,000 of common and preferred stock and unsecured notes through December 31, 2017.

Capitalization of fixed assets and community improvements

The Company has a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating to the acquisition of new assets and the development and construction of new apartment communities. In addition, the Company capitalizes expenditures that enhance the value of existing assets and expenditures that substantially extend the life of existing assets. All other expenditures necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and certain internal personnel and associated costs related to apartment communities under development and construction. The incremental personnel and associated costs are capitalized to the projects under development and construction based upon the effort associated with such projects. The Company treats each unit in an apartment community separately for cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the commencement of leasing activities, interest and other construction costs are capitalized and included in construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the residential units in a community become substantially complete and available for occupancy. This practice results in a proration of these costs between amounts that are capitalized and expensed as the residential units in a development community become available for occupancy. In addition, prior to the completion of units, the Company expenses, as incurred, substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing expenses) of such communities.

Acquisition of assets and community development and other capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 are summarized as follows:

	Three months ended

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

Current communities under development

At March 31, 2015, the Company had 1,819 apartment units in five communities under development. These communities are summarized in the table below ($ in millions except cost per square foot data).

Community	Location	Number of Units		Estimated Average Unit Size Sq. Ft. (1)		Estimated Retail Sq. Ft. (1)		Estimated Total Cost (2)		Estimated Total Cost Per Sq. Ft. (3)		Costs Incurred as of 3/31/2015		Quarter of First Units Available		Estimated Quarter of Stabilized Occup. (4)		Percent Leased (5)

1) Square footage amounts are approximate. Actual square footage may vary.

2) To the extent that developments contain a retail component, total estimated cost includes estimated first generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions. For stabilized apartment communities, remaining unfunded construction costs include first generation retail tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

3) The estimated total cost per square foot is calculated using net rentable residential and retail square feet, where applicable. Square footage amounts used are approximate. Actual amounts may vary.

4) The Company defines stabilized occupancy as the earlier to occur of (i) the attainment of 95% physical occupancy or (ii) one year after completion of construction.

5) Represents unit status as of May 1, 2015.

6) This community reached stabilized occupancy in the first quarter 2015.

Inflation

Substantially all of the leases at the Company’s communities allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable the Company to seek increases in rents. The substantial majority of these leases are for one year or less and the remaining leases are for up to two years. At the expiration of a lease term, the Company’s lease agreements generally provide that the term will be extended unless either the Company or the lessee gives at least sixty (60) days written notice of termination. In addition, the Company’s policy generally permits the early termination of a lease by a lessee upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Company and the payment of an amount equal to two month’s rent as compensation for early termination. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to offset the risk to the Company that the adverse effect of inflation may have on the Company’s general, administrative and operating expenses.

Funds from operations

The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of funds from operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies because not all real estate companies use the same definition. The Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition.

The Company also uses FFO as an operating measure. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to provide an alternate measure. Since the Company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reasons surrounding its creation, management believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Company believes FFO is a useful

41

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)

supplemental measure for comparing the Company’s results to those of other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance. While management believes that FFO is an important supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, management believes it is also important to stress that FFO should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. Further, FFO is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs or ability to service indebtedness or make distributions.

A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO available to common shareholders and unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was as follows.

	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2015			2014
Net income available to common shareholders	$	19,021		$	13,314
Noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership		42			33
Depreciation on consolidated real estate assets		20,911			21,489
Depreciation on real estate assets held in unconsolidated entities		300			293
Gain on sale of retail condominium		(1,773	)		—
Funds from operations available to common shareholders and unitholders (1)	$	38,501		$	35,129
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic (2)		54,567			54,286
Weighted average shares and units outstanding - basic (2)		54,688			54,421
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted (2)		54,584			54,403
Weighted average shares and units outstanding - diluted (2)		54,705			54,538

1) For the three months ended March 31, 2015, FFO included debt extinguishment losses of $197 associated with the refinancing of the Company’s unsecured lines of credit and term loan facilities. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, FFO included other expenses of approximately $907 associated with the upgrade of enterprise software systems and casualty losses related to the extreme winter weather conditions in 2014.

2) Diluted weighted average shares and units included the impact of dilutive securities totaling 17 and 116 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Additionally, basic and diluted weighted average shares and units included the impact of non-vested shares and units totaling 119 and 112 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, for the computation of funds from operations per share. Such non-vested shares and units are considered in the income per share computations under generally accepted accounting principles using the “two-class method.”

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. At March 31, 2015, the Company had no outstanding variable rate debt tied to LIBOR under its aggregate $330,000 line of credit arrangements. At March 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding variable rate debt of $300,000 under a term loan facility (“Term Loan”) at interest rates tied to LIBOR (see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements). In addition, the Company had outstanding three interest rate swap arrangements with substantially similar terms and conditions with notional amounts totaling $230,000 and a fourth swap arrangement with substantially similar terms and conditions and a notional amount of $70,000. These interest rate swap arrangements (as summarized in the table below) serve as cash flow hedges for amounts outstanding under the Term Loan and provide an effective blended interest rate for the corresponding amount of Term Loan borrowings of 2.69% at March 31, 2015. In addition, the Company has interest rate risk associated with fixed rate debt at maturity. The discussion in this section is the same for the Company and the Operating Partnership, except that all indebtedness described herein has been incurred by the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries.

Management has and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:

• maintain a conservative ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;

• fix certain long-term variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps or interest rate caps with appropriately matching maturities;

• use derivative financial instruments where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions; and

• take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.

Management uses various financial models and advisors to achieve these objectives.

The table below provides information, including the fair value measured in accordance with ASC Topic 815, about the Company’s derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For the Company’s interest rate swap arrangements, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by (expected) contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

Interest Rate Derivatives	Hedged Debt Instrument		Notional Amount			Average Fixed Pay Rate			Average Receive Rate	Termination Date		Fair Value
												Asset (Liab.)
Interest rate swaps - variable to fixed (three) (1)		Term loan borrowings	$	230,000	(1)		1.55	%	one-month LIBOR		1/19/2018	$	(4,092	)
Interest rate swaps - variable to fixed (one) (2)		Term loan borrowings	$	70,000	(2)		1.50	%	one-month LIBOR		1/19/2018	$	(1,141	)
												$	(5,233	)

1) Cash payments under the arrangements began in January 2012 based on aggregate notional amounts of $100,000. Notional amounts increased to an aggregate of $230,000 in June 2012.

2) Cash payments under this arrangement began in July 2012.

As more fully described in note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the interest rate swap arrangement is carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value shown above in accordance with ASC Topic 815. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, other than the refinancing of the Company’s unsecured lines of credit and term loan facilities (see note 4 to the consolidated financial statements), there were no material changes in outstanding fixed or variable rate debt arrangements. The Company has no floating rate LIBOR-based borrowings outstanding as of March 31, 2015, excluding the variable rate bank term loan debt effectively swapped to fixed rates under the derivative financial instruments. As such, fluctuations in such loans would have no effect on the Company’s interest costs.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the Company and the Operating Partnership have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of their disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the Company and the Operating Partnership, including the principal executive officer and principal financial

43

officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are the controls and other procedures of the Company and the Operating Partnership that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company and the Operating Partnership in the reports that they file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

There were no changes to the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In September 2010, the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) filed a lawsuit against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. The suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by the Company in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The plaintiff seeks statutory damages and a civil penalty in unspecified amounts, as well as injunctive relief that includes retrofitting apartments and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. The Company filed a motion to transfer the case to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, where a previous civil case involving alleged violations of the FHA and ADA by the Company was filed and ultimately dismissed. On October 29, 2010, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia issued an opinion finding that the complaint shows that the DOJ’s claims are essentially the same as the previous civil case, and, therefore, granted the Company’s motion and transferred the DOJ’s case to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. Discovery has closed, and the Court has denied motions filed by the parties relating to additional discovery and expert witnesses. Each party filed Motions for Summary Judgment, which were briefed in April 2014. In March 2015, the Court denied both Motions for Summary Judgment and requested supplemental briefing by June 2015. Until such time as the court issues rulings on the application of the law to the facts of this case, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the legal proceeding, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss, if any, that would be associated with an adverse decision.

The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to their business from time to time, some of which are expected to be covered by liability or other insurance. Management of the Company believes that any resolution of pending proceedings or liability to the Company which may arise as a result of these various other legal proceedings will not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
