POST APARTMENT HOMES, L.P.
The Registrants are filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Registrants’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 (the “10-K”) to revise inadvertent inaccuracies on page 19 concerning the number of common shareholders of record of Post Properties, Inc and the number of holders of record of Common Units in Post Apartment Homes, L.P. We are making no other changes to this filing.
The Registrants hereby amend Item 5 of the 10-K by striking all text in the current Item 5 and replacing it with the following:

On March 1, 2004, the Company had 1,833 common shareholders of record and 39,611,948 shares of Common Stock outstanding.
The Company pays regular quarterly dividends to holders of shares of its common stock. 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 of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and other factors that the board of directors deems relevant. Beginning with the first quarter of 2003, the Company’s dividend was reduced from $0.78 to $0.45 per share. For a discussion of the Company’s credit agreements and their restrictions on dividend payments, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
During 2003, the Company did not sell any unregistered securities.
There is no established public trading market for the Common Units. As of March 1, 2004, the Operating Partnership had 75 holders of record of Common Units and 42,476,619 Common Units outstanding.

During 2003, the Operating Partnership did not sell any unregistered securities.
