1. Description of Business
Business. Formed on May 25, 1993, Camden Property Trust, a Texas real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is engaged in the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. Our multifamily apartment communities are referred to as “communities,” “multifamily communities,” “properties,” or “multifamily properties” in the following discussion. As of March 31, 2007, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 198 multifamily properties comprising 68,090 apartment homes located in 13 states. We had 3,574 apartment homes under development at 11 of our multifamily properties, including 1,528 apartment homes at five multifamily properties owned through joint ventures, and several sites we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our assets, liabilities and operations and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and partnerships. We also assess whether consolidation of any entity in which we have an equity interest is necessary based on applicable accounting guidance. Any entities that do not meet the criteria for consolidation, but where we exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method. Any entities that do not meet the criteria for consolidation where we do not exercise significant influence are accounted for using the cost method. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Financial Reporting. We have prepared these financial statements in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures normally included for complete financial statements. While we believe the disclosures presented are adequate for interim reporting, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our 2006 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods and related disclosures. Our more significant estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, estimates supporting our impairment analysis related to the carrying value of our real estate assets, estimates of the useful lives of our assets, reserves related to co-insurance requirements under our property, general liability and employee benefit insurance programs and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. Future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.
Reportable Segments. Our multifamily communities are geographically diversified throughout the United States and management evaluates operating performance on an individual property level. However, as each of our apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, residents, and products and services, our apartment communities have been aggregated into one reportable segment with activities related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily communities. Our multifamily communities generate rental revenue and other income through the leasing of apartment homes, which comprised 96% and 98% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Real Estate Assets, at Cost. Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges, principally interest and real estate taxes, of land under development and buildings under construction are capitalized as part of properties under development subject to impairment consideration. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.
Upon the acquisition of real estate, we allocate the purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, which includes land, buildings, furniture and fixtures, the value of in-place leases, including above and below market leases, and
7
Table of Contents
acquired liabilities. When allocating the purchase price to acquired properties, we allocate costs to the estimated intangible value of in-place leases and above or below market leases and to the estimated fair value of furniture and fixtures, land and buildings on a value determined by assuming the property was vacant by applying methods similar to those used by independent appraisers of income-producing property. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. The value of in-place leases and above or below market leases is amortized over the estimated average remaining life of leases in-place at the time of acquisition. Estimates of fair value of acquired debt are based upon interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Depreciation and amortization is computed over the expected useful lives of depreciable property on a straight-line basis as follows:
Estimated | ||||
Useful Life | ||||
Buildings and improvements | 5-35 years | |||
Furniture, fixtures, equipment and other | 3-20 years | |||
Intangible assets (in-place leases and above and below market leases) | 6-13 months |
As discussed above, carrying charges are principally interest and real estate taxes capitalized as part of properties under development. Capitalized interest was $5.1 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capitalized real estate taxes were $0.7 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. All operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed.
Costs recorded as repair and maintenance includes all costs which do not alter the primary use, extend the expected useful life or improve the safety or efficiency of the related asset. Our largest repair and maintenance expenditures related to landscaping, interior painting and floor coverings. Property operating and maintenance expense and income from discontinued operations included repair and maintenance expenses totaling $10.3 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Capital expenditures totaled $18.4 million and $8.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Included in the $18.4 million for 2007 is $9.0 million of non-recurring capital improvements on renovation and rehabilitation projects at certain of our multifamily properties.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value is recognized.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step involves evaluation of a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step involves measuring the benefit to recognize in the financial statements for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.
We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. If various tax positions related to certain real estate dispositions are not sustained upon examination, we would be required to pay a deficiency dividend and associated interest for prior years. We have decreased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2007 for the adoption impact of FIN 48 by approximately $2.5 million and have recorded interest expense of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 for the interest related to the deficiency dividend for these transactions. Our period of uncertainty with respect to these real estate dispositions will expire within the next twelve months, at which time we would reverse the recorded liability to current period operations. We have no unrecognized tax benefits.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes fair value as a market-based measurement which should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the
8
Table of Contents
measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (i.e., the fair value option), which are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
3. Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share are computed using income from continuing operations and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of common share options and awards granted and units convertible into common shares. Only those items that have a dilutive impact on our basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, 3.0 million and 3.5 million units convertible into common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as they were not dilutive.
The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

4. Property Acquisitions, Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale
Acquisitions. In January 2007, we purchased 1.6 acres of undeveloped land located in Washington D.C. for $43.8 million. We intend to utilize this land for the development of multifamily apartment communities.
Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations for three operating properties, containing 930 apartment homes, classified as held for sale. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, income from discontinued operations also included the results of operations of eight operating properties sold during 2006. As of March 31, 2007, the three operating properties held for sale had a net book value of $18.0 million.
The following is a summary of income from discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006:

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized gains of $27.4 million from the sale of two operating properties, containing 525 apartment homes, to unaffiliated third parties. These sales generated net proceeds of approximately $40.2 million.
At March 31, 2007, we had several undeveloped land parcels classified as held for sale as follows:

5. Investments in Joint Ventures
The joint ventures described below are accounted for using the equity method. The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded with secured, third-party debt. We have guaranteed our proportionate interest on construction loans in four of our development joint ventures. Additionally, we eliminate fee income from property management services to the extent of our ownership.
Our contributions of real estate assets to joint ventures at formation where we receive cash are treated as partial sales and, as a result, the amounts recorded as gain on sale of assets to joint ventures represent the change in ownership of the underlying assets. Our initial investment is determined based on our ownership percentage in the net book value of the underlying assets on the date of the transaction.
As of March 31, 2007, our equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures accounted for under the equity method of accounting consisted of:
• | A 20% interest in 12 apartment communities containing 4,034 apartment homes located in the Las Vegas, Phoenix, Houston, Dallas and Orange County, California markets.

We recorded warranty and repair related costs on third-party construction projects of $0.7 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. These costs are first applied against revenues earned on each project and any excess is included in “Fee and asset management expenses” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
7. Notes Receivable

to 9.25% per annum, which is recognized as earned. We have reviewed the terms and conditions underlying the outstanding notes receivable and believe these notes are collectible, and no impairment existed at March 31, 2007.
The following is a summary of our notes receivable under the mezzanine financing program during the periods presented, excluding notes receivable from affiliates:

We have a $600 million unsecured credit facility which matures January 2010. The scheduled interest rate is based on spreads over LIBOR or the Prime Rate and the scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $300 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2007.
Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available. At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $29.0 million, and had $226.0 million available under our unsecured line of credit.
At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt, which includes our unsecured line of credit, was 5.4% and 4.9%, respectively.

9. Related Party Transactions
We perform property management services for properties owned by joint ventures in which we own an interest. Management fees earned on these properties amounted to $0.7 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. See further discussion of fees earned from joint ventures for construction management and development services in Note 5, “Investments in Joint Ventures.”
In conjunction with our merger with Summit, we acquired employee notes receivable from nine former employees of Summit totaling $3.9 million. Subsequent to the merger, five employees repaid their loans totaling $1.8 million. At March 31, 2007, the notes receivable had an outstanding balance of $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2007, the employee notes receivable were 100% secured by Camden common shares.
10. Share-based Compensation
Share Awards.Share awards have a vesting period of five years. The compensation cost for share awards is based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period. To determine our estimated future forfeitures, we used actual forfeiture history. At March 31, 2007, the unamortized value of share awards totaled $29.2 million.
Valuation Assumptions.The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2007 was $11.04. We calculated the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following assumptions were used for March 31, 2007:
Expected volatility | 17.1 | % | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 4.6 | % | ||
Expected dividend yield | 3.7 | % | ||
Expected life (in years) | 6 |
Our computation of expected volatility for 2007 is based on the historical volatility of our common shares over a time period equal to the expected term of the option and ending on the grant date. The interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield on our common shares is calculated using the annual dividends paid in the prior year. Our computation of expected life was determined using historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the contractual terms of the share-based awards.
Share-based Compensation Award Activity.The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2007, there was approximately $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested options, which is expected to be amortized over the next twelve months.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Contracts.As of March 31, 2007, we were obligated for approximately $118.5 million of additional expenditures on our recently completed projects and those currently under development. We expect to fund a substantial portion of this amount with our unsecured line of credit.
Summit Merger Contingencies.On December 19, 2003, Camden Summit Partnership received notice of a demand for arbitration asserted by Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, Inc. (“Bermello”) against Coral Way, LLC for unpaid architectural fees. In this demand, Bermello alleged they were entitled to an increased architectural fee as a result of an increase in the cost of the project. Camden Summit Partnership asserted a counter-claim against Bermello for damages related to the cost to
15
Table of Contents
correct certain structural and other design defects, and delay damages. On October 31, 2006, the parties entered into a settlement of Bermello’s claims for unpaid architectural fees and its claims were dismissed. On February 22, 2007, the parties entered into a settlement of Camden Summit Partnership’s counter-claims for damages and its claims were released.
Other Contingencies.In the ordinary course of our business, we issue letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures and also enter into arrangements contemplating various transactions. Such letters of intent and other arrangements are non-binding, and neither party is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the purchase and sale of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate such contracts will provide the purchaser with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the purchaser will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. There can be no assurance definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or we will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract. Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or sale of real property becomes probable at the time the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. We are then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract, and are obligated to sell under a real property sales contract.
We are currently in the due diligence period for certain acquisitions and dispositions and other various transactions. No assurance can be made we will be able to complete the negotiations or become satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence or otherwise complete the proposed transactions.
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Lease Commitments.At March 31, 2007, we had long-term operating leases covering certain land, office facilities and equipment. Rental expense totaled $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Minimum annual rental commitments for the remainder of 2007 are $2.5 million and for the years ending December 31, 2008 through 2011 are $2.4 million, $2.1 million, $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and $5.0 million in the aggregate thereafter.
13. Income Taxes
We have maintained and intend to maintain our election as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on distributed taxable income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. Historically, we have only incurred state and local income, franchise and margin taxes. Taxable income from non-REIT activities managed through taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to applicable federal, state and local income taxes. We have provided for income, franchise and margin taxes in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily for state and local taxes associated with property dispositions, entity level taxes for our taxable operating partnerships and federal taxes on certain of our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We have no significant temporary differences or tax credits associated with our taxable REIT subsidiaries.
14. Subsequent Events
In April 2007, our Board of Trust Managers approved a program to repurchase up to $250 million of our common equity securities through open market purchases, block purchases and privately negotiated transactions. Proceeds from asset sales and borrowings under our secured line of credit will be used to fund any share repurchases. No purchases have been made under this program.
In April 2007, we acquired Camden South Congress, a 253 apartment home community located in Austin, Texas for $42.8 million using proceeds from our unsecured line of credit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and trends which might appear in the condensed consolidated financial statements should not be interpreted as being indicative of future operations.
We consider portions of this report to be “forward-looking” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to our expectations for future periods. Forward-looking statements do not discuss historical fact, but instead include statements related to expectations, projections, intentions or other items relating to the future. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance our expectations will be achieved. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed forward-looking statements. Reliance should not be placed on these forward-looking statements as they are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors beyond our control and could differ materially from our actual results and performance.
Factors that may cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | Insufficient cash flows could limit our ability to make required payments for debt obligations or pay distributions to shareholders and create refinancing risk; | ||
• | Unfavorable changes in economic conditions could adversely impact occupancy or rental rates; | ||
• | Development and construction risks could impact our profitability; | ||
• | Our property acquisition strategy may not produce the cash flows expected; | ||
• | Difficulties of selling real estate could limit our flexibility; | ||
• | We have significant debt, which could have important consequences; | ||
• | Our variable rate debt is subject to interest rate risk; | ||
• | Issuances of additional debt or equity may adversely impact our financial condition; | ||
• | Losses from catastrophes may exceed our insurance coverage; | ||
• | Potential liability for environmental contamination could result in substantial loss; | ||
• | Tax matters, including failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), could have adverse consequences; | ||
• | Investments through joint ventures and partnerships involve risks not present in investments in which we are the sole investor; | ||
• | Compliance or failure to comply with laws requiring access to our properties by disabled persons could result in substantial costs; | ||
• | Competition could limit our ability to lease apartments or increase or maintain rental income; | ||
• | We depend on our key personnel; and | ||
• | Changes in laws and litigation risks could affect our business. |
These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions as of the date of this report.
Executive Summary
Based on our results for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the projected economic conditions, we expect moderate growth during the remainder of 2007 from the revenue generated by our stabilized communities. The economic factors affecting our revenue growth include continued job growth and population growth in a number of markets in which we operate, as well as decreased housing affordability due to rising interest rates resulting in multifamily apartment communities being an economically attractive alternative to purchasing a single-family home which positively affects apartment housing demand.
We intend to focus on our market balance investment strategy and to improve our portfolio mix through the acquisition and disposition of real estate assets. We expect market concentration risk to be mitigated as our property operations are not centralized in any one market.
In positioning for future growth, we intend to continue focusing on our development pipeline and maintain approximately $2.0 billion to $2.5 billion in our current and future development pipelines. Total projected capital costs and the commencement of future developments may be impacted by increasing construction costs and other factors. Additionally, the use of technology, including our web-based property management and revenue management systems, is expected to increase revenues and improve our operating efficiencies.

Stabilized Communities
We consider a property stabilized once it reaches 90% occupancy, or generally one year from opening the leasing office, with some allowances for larger than average properties. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, stabilization was achieved at one recently completed property as follows:

Acquisitions
In January 2007, we purchased 1.6 acres of undeveloped land located in Washington D.C. for $43.8 million. We intend to utilize this land for the development of multifamily apartment communities.
Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we acquired Camden South Congress, a 253 apartment home community located in Austin, Texas for $42.8 million.
Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
Income from discontinued operations includes the operations of properties, including land, sold during the period or classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2007. The components of earnings classified as discontinued operations include separately identifiable property-specific revenues, expenses, depreciation and interest expense, if any. The gain or loss on the disposal of the held for sale properties is also classified as discontinued operations. We intend to maintain a strategy of managing our invested capital through the selective sale of properties and to utilize the proceeds to fund investments with higher anticipated growth prospects in our markets.
A summary of our properties held for sale as of March 31, 2007 is as follows:

We also had $35.8 million invested in land tracts adjacent to development projects, which are being utilized in conjunction with those projects. Upon completion of these development projects, we may utilize this land to further develop apartment homes in these areas. We may also sell certain parcels of these undeveloped land tracts to third parties for commercial and retail development.

Results of Operations
Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period to period are due primarily to acquisitions, dispositions, the performance of stabilized properties in the portfolio, and the lease-up of newly constructed properties. Where appropriate, comparisons of income and expense on communities included in continuing operations are made on a dollars-per-weighted average apartment home basis in order to adjust for such changes in the number of apartment homes owned during each period. Selected weighted averages for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:
2007 | 2006 | |||||||
Average monthly property revenue per apartment home | $ | 975 | $ | 909 | ||||

Non-same store communities are stabilized communities we have acquired, developed or re-developed after January 1, 2006. Development and lease-up communities are non-stabilized communities we have acquired or developed after January 1, 2006. Dispositions primarily represent communities we have partially sold to joint ventures in which we retained an ownership interest.
Same store analysis
Same store property revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 increased $6.2 million, or 5.1%, from the same period in 2006 resulting primarily from higher rental income per apartment home and increases in other property income, partially offset by declines in average occupancy. Other property income increased due to utility rebillings primarily resulting from our implementation of CamdenTV, which provides cable services to our residents. Our revenue growth is partially the result of improving market fundamentals including growth in employment and population in the majority of our markets, the increasing cost of ownership versus rental, and rising interest rates and construction costs limiting new supply. In addition, we continue to believe our strong operating performance is not only the result of improving operating fundamentals, but also the continued enhancements we are making to many of our operational components, such as our web-based property management and revenue management systems. We believe these enhancements have created efficiencies within our business and have allowed us to take advantage of improvements in the rental market.
Total property expenses from our same store communities increased $2.0 million, or 4.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The increases in same store property expenses per apartment home were primarily due to increases in repair and maintenance, utilities and property insurance expenses. These three

expense categories represent an aggregate of approximately 38.6% of total property expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Non-same store analysis and other analysis
Property revenues from non-same store, development and lease-up communities increased $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The increase during the period was primarily due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline.
Property revenues from dispositions/other decreased $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. Dispositions/other property revenues earned during the three months ended March 31, 2007 primarily related to retail lease income of $1.0 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, dispositions/other property revenues earned primarily related to properties partially sold into joint ventures in 2006 of $6.7 million and retail lease income of $0.9 million.
Property expenses from non-same store, development and lease-up communities increased $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 2006. The increase in expenses during the period was primarily due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline.
Property expenses from dispositions/other decreased $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 was due to the disposition of properties partially sold to joint ventures during 2006.

Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The increases were primarily due to salary and benefit expenses, including long-term incentive compensation. Property management expenses were 3.1% and 2.9% of total property revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third-party construction projects and property management, increased $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. These increases were primarily due to increases in costs and cost over-runs on third-party construction projects which totaled $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006, and were 5.1% and 5.0% of total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006 was primarily due to increases in salary and benefit expenses, including long-term incentive compensation and severance costs.
Gross interest cost before interest capitalized to development properties decreased $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The overall decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the repayment of debt utilizing proceeds from our equity offering in June 2006. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in debt outstanding as a result of continued funding of the development pipeline and increases in the effective interest rate associated with variable rate debt. Interest capitalized increased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006.
Depreciation and amortization increased $3.6 million, or 10.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. This variance was primarily due to depreciation on assets acquired, new development and capital improvements placed in service during the preceding year.
Expense on deferred compensation plans increased $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in 2006. The changes in expense primarily related to the performance of the assets held in deferred compensation plans for participants.

Table of Contents
Equity in income of joint ventures decreased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 2006. Changes from period to period are primarily due to gains recognized in 2006 on the sale of assets held through joint ventures, partially offset by an increase in the number of apartment homes owned through joint ventures. We recognized $1.8 million of gains on the sale of two properties held through a joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2006. No assets held through joint ventures were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we incurred entity level taxes for our taxable operating partnership and other state and local taxes totaling $1.9 million. These taxes related to new state tax laws which were effective during the past year, including the new Texas margin tax.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”)
Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including convertible minority interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.
We believe in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance. Additionally, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation.
Reconciliations of net income to diluted FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We are committed to maintaining a strong balance sheet and preserving our financial flexibility, which we believe enhances our ability to identify and capitalize on investment opportunities as they become available. We intend to maintain what management believes is a conservative capital structure by:
• | using what management believes to be a prudent combination of debt and common and preferred equity; | ||
• | extending and sequencing the maturity dates of our debt where possible; | ||
• | managing interest rate exposure using what management believes to be prudent levels of fixed and floating rate debt; | ||
• | borrowing on an unsecured basis in order to maintain a substantial number of unencumbered assets; and | ||
• | maintaining conservative coverage ratios. |
Our interest expense coverage ratio, net of capitalized interest, was 3.1 and 2.7 times for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Interest expense coverage ratio is derived by dividing interest expense for the period into the sum of income from continuing operations before gain on sale of properties, equity in income (loss) of joint ventures and minority interests, depreciation, amortization, interest expense and income from discontinued operations. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, 80.8% and 79.3%, respectively, of our properties (based on invested capital) were unencumbered. Our weighted average maturity of debt, excluding our line of credit, was 4.5 years at March 31, 2007.
As a result of the significant cash flow generated by our operations, the availability under our unsecured credit facility and other short-term borrowings, proceeds from dispositions of properties and other investments and access to the capital markets by issuing securities under our automatic shelf registration statement, we believe our liquidity and financial condition are sufficient to meet all of our reasonably anticipated cash flow needs during the remainder of 2007 including:
• | normal recurring operating expenses; | ||
• | current debt service requirements; | ||
• | recurring capital expenditures; | ||
• | initial funding of property developments, acquisitions and notes receivable; and | ||
• | the minimum dividend payments required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. |
One of our principal long-term liquidity requirements includes the repayment of maturing debt, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit used to fund development and acquisition activities. For unsecured notes, we anticipate that no significant portion of the principal of those notes will be repaid prior to maturity. Additionally, as of March 31, 2007, we had several development projects in various stages of construction, for which a total estimated cost of $158.2 million remained to be funded. We intend to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the use of debt and equity offerings under our automatic shelf registration statement, draws on our unsecured credit facility and property dispositions.
In March 2007, we announced our Board of Trust Managers had declared a dividend distribution of $0.69 per share to holders of record as of March 30, 2007 of our common shares. The dividend was subsequently paid on April 17, 2007. We paid equivalent amounts per unit to holders of the common operating partnership units. This distribution to common shareholders and holders of common operating partnership units equates to an annualized dividend rate of $2.76 per share or unit.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $38.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2007 from $57.5 million for the same period in 2006. The decrease was primarily due to timing of accounts payable associated with our properties under development. See further detail in Note 11, “Net Change in Operating Accounts.” This decrease was partially offset by additional property revenues from recently developed properties and growth in property revenues from our stabilized communities.
Cash flows used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $131.1 million, as compared to $127.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2006. We incurred $123.1 million in property development, acquisition and capital improvement costs during the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $169.2 million during the same period in 2006. Loans provided under our mezzanine financing program totaled $10.7 million and $22.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid $4.3 million of severance benefits associated with the Summit merger. Proceeds received from sales of properties, sales of assets to joint ventures and joint venture distributions representing returns of investments totaled $54.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $92.9 million and $69.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities during both periods includes increases in balances outstanding under our unsecured line of credit which was used to fund development, acquisition and capital improvement activity during the period. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2006 was partially offset by the repayment of $53.6 million in notes payable. Repayments of notes payables for the three months ended March 31, 2007 totaled $3.5 million as we had no debt maturities during the period.
Financial Flexibility
We have a $600 million unsecured line of credit facility which matures in January 2010. The scheduled interest rate is based on spreads over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the Prime Rate. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $300 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at March 31, 2007.
Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available. At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $29.0 million, and had $226.0 million available, under our unsecured line of credit.
At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the weighted average interest rate on our floating rate debt, which includes our unsecured line of credit, was 5.4% and 4.9%, respectively.
We filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission during 2006 that became effective upon filing. We may use the shelf registration statement to offer, from time to time, common shares, preferred shares, debt securities or warrants. Our declaration of trust provides that we may issue up to 110,000,000 shares of beneficial interest, consisting of 100,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares. As of March 31, 2007, we had 56,805,261 common shares outstanding.
The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded with secured, third-party debt. We are committed to funding an additional $8.3 million under mezzanine loans provided to joint ventures. We have guaranteed our proportionate interest on construction loans in four of our development joint ventures. See further discussion of our investments in various joint ventures in Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Inflation
Substantially all of our apartment leases are for a term generally ranging from 6 to 13 months. In an inflationary environment, we may realize increased rents at the commencement of new leases or upon the renewal of existing leases. The short-term nature of our leases generally minimizes our risk from the adverse affects of inflation.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies are those most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require 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. We follow financial accounting and reporting policies in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America.
Income recognition.Our rental and other property income is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property income consists primarily of utility rebilling, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Retail lease income is recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, including any construction period if we are determined not to be the owner of the tenant improvements. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned.
Accounting for Joint Ventures. We make co-investments with unrelated third parties and are required to determine whether to consolidate or use the equity method of accounting for these ventures. FASB Interpretation No. 46R, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (as revised) and Emerging Issues Task Force No. 04-05, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited
27
Table of Contents
Partners Have Certain Rights” are two of the primary sources of accounting guidance in this area. Appropriate application of these complex rules requires substantial management judgment.
Asset impairment.Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge equal to the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value is recognized.
Cost capitalization. Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes which are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation. All operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed.
Allocations of Purchase Price. Upon the acquisition of real estate, we allocate the purchase price between tangible and intangible assets, which includes land, buildings, furniture and fixtures, the value of in-place leases, including above and below market leases, and acquired liabilities. When allocating the purchase price to acquired properties, we allocated costs to the estimated intangible value of in-place leases and above or below market leases and to the estimated fair value of furniture and fixtures, land and buildings on a value determined by assuming the property was vacant by applying methods similar to those used by independent appraisers of income-producing property. Depreciation and amortization is computed on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives of the related assets. The value of in-place leases and above or below market leases is amortized over the estimated average remaining life of leases in-place at the time of acquisition. Estimates of fair value of acquired debt are based upon interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
New Accounting Standards
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48 prescribes a two-step process for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The first step involves evaluation of a tax position to determine whether it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step involves measuring the benefit to recognize in the financial statements for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold.
We adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. If various tax positions related to certain real estate dispositions are not sustained upon examination, we would be required to pay a deficiency dividend and associated interest for prior years. We have decreased distributions in excess of net income as of January 1, 2007 for the adoption impact of FIN 48 by approximately $2.5 million and have recorded interest expense of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 for the interest related to the deficiency dividend for these transactions. Our period of uncertainty with respect to these real estate dispositions will expire within the next twelve months, at which time we would reverse the recorded liability to current period operations. We have no unrecognized tax benefits.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes fair value as a market-based measurement which should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. We will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis (i.e., the fair value option), which are otherwise not permitted to be accounted

for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not anticipate the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

No material changes to our exposures to market risk have occurred since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by the report pursuant to Securities Exchange Act (“Exchange Act”) Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurring during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
