Report of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees on Executive
Compensation
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The members of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Trustees of the
Trust, whose names are set forth below, have prepared the following report on
the Trust's executive compensation policies and philosophy for fiscal 1998.
General
- -------
The Compensation Committee consists of Mr. Ross, Mr. Watts and Mr.
Greenblatt, each of whom is a Non-Employee Trustee. The Compensation Committee
is generally responsible for developing the Trust's executive and management
compensation policies, including awards of equity-based compensation.
Compensation Policy Review
- --------------------------
During fiscal 1998, the Compensation Committee, together with the Board of
Trustees, did not complete its review of the compensation policies with respect
to executive compensation as the officers were not paid by the Trust in fiscal
1998. While it is still anticipated that the officers will become employees
during fiscal 1999, it has not been determined when the officers will be paid by
the Trust but the Compensation Committee will complete its review and establish
the compensation of the executives of the Trust prior to such time.
Compensation of Executive Officers
- ----------------------------------
Base Salary and Cash Bonuses
Officers of the Trust historically have not received compensation for their
services provided to the Trust. Until February 29, 1996, the date upon which an
affiliate of the Trust acquired approximately 73.3% of the outstanding Shares of
the Trust pursuant to a tender offer (the "Tender Offer"), the Trust was an
externally-advised REIT, and accordingly, the Trust had no employees and no
compensation committee. Upon the consummation of the Tender Offer, the
relationship with the Trust's advisor was terminated and the Trust became
self-administered and established a compensation committee. As a result, the
Trustees currently anticipate that officers of the Trust may serve as employees
and may be compensated as such for services rendered to the Trust.
During Fiscal 1998, the officers of the Trust did not receive cash
compensation from the Trust for their services as officers, but did receive
bonuses in the form of Shares and options to purchase Shares. See "Equity and
Equity-Based Incentives" below. While a majority of their time was spent
handling Trust affairs, the officers were also officers of The Vinings Group,
Inc. ("The Vinings Group"), a privately held real estate company, from which
they received compensation and benefits. The Trust did not reimburse The Vinings
Group for any of the officers' salaries or benefits provided to them by The
Vinings Group. Should any officers of the Trust become employees and be directly
compensated by the Trust for such services, the Compensation Committee will
recommend to the Board of Trustees the annual salary, any salary adjustments and
any other benefits for executive officers of the Trust, all of which will be
targeted according to the salaries of executives holding similar offices and
having similar responsibilities within the Trust's industry segment. The
Compensation Committee may also consider factors such as industry experience and
executive retention.
Equity and Equity-Based Incentives
- ----------------------------------
Equity and equity-based incentive awards are designed to attract and retain
executives who can make significant contributions to the Trust's success, reward
executives for such significant contributions and give executives a longer-term
incentive to increase shareholder value. The size and frequency of equity and
equity-based incentive awards are recommended to the Board of Trustees by the
Compensation Committee, taking into account individual performance and
responsibilities, but without any specific performance measures. The
Compensation Committee may also recommend stock options for executive retention
purposes, taking into account, among other things, general industry practice. To
ensure that high levels of performance occur over the long-term, stock options
granted to executives typically vest over a period of time. All outstanding
options have been granted with an exercise price equal to or in excess of 100%
of the fair market value of the Trust's Shares on the grant date.
The 1997 Incentive Plan is the principal vehicle by which the Trust intends
to achieve the executive compensation policy objective of providing long-term
incentives to executive officers that will more closely align the interests of
such executives with those of the Trust's shareholders. Pursuant to the 1997
Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may recommend a variety of long-term
incentive awards based on the Shares of the Trust, including stock options (both
incentive options and non-qualified options), SARs, restricted stock,
unrestricted stock, performance shares and dividend equivalent rights.
In fiscal 1998, Peter D. Anzo and Stephanie A. Reed were each granted an
option to purchase 35,000 Shares and 7,500 Shares, respectively, at a per Share
exercise price of $4.00. Each of these options vests and becomes fully
exercisable one year from the grant date on June 9, 1999. Additionally, Peter D.
Anzo and Stephanie A. Reed were each awarded a bonus in the form of 10,000
Shares and 2,500 Shares, respectively, during fiscal 1998. The Board of Trustees
granted these awards to Mr. Anzo and Ms. Reed as compensation for services
rendered to the Trust as officers as they did not receive cash compensation from
the Trust for their services as officers. Any value received by an executive
officer from a stock option and any increases in the value of stock received as
a bonus depends entirely on increases in the price of the Trust's Shares.
Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
- -------------------------------------------
Mr. Peter D. Anzo
Mr. Anzo currently does not receive cash compensation for services he
provides to the Trust as its Chief Executive Officer. See "Compensation Policies
for Executive Officers" above. In order to encourage outstanding performance and
as an incentive to increase Trust performance and Share value, in fiscal 1998,
the Board of Trustees awarded Mr. Anzo an option to purchase 35,000 Shares, at a
per Share exercise price of $4.00, which option vests and becomes fully
exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date, or on June 9, 1999.
Additionally, Mr. Anzo was awarded a bonus in the form of 10,000 Shares during
fiscal 1998.
Federal Tax Regulations Applicable to Executive Compensation
- ------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"),
the Trust's deduction of executive compensation may be limited to the extent
that a "covered employee" (i.e., the chief executive officer or one of the four
highest compensated officers who is employed on the last day of the Trust's
taxable year) receives compensation in excess of $1,000,000 in such taxable year
of the Trust (other than performance-based compensation that otherwise meets the
requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code). The Trust intends to take
appropriate action to comply with such regulations, if applicable, in the
future.
James D. Ross, Chairman Gilbert H. Watts, Jr. Phill D. Greenblatt
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
- -----------------------------------------------------------
Mr. Anzo, the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board
of Trustees of the Trust, and Ms. Reed, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer
of the Trust, will make general recommendations to and review with the
Compensation Committee the salary increases and bonus compensation of executives
and management other than themselves.
On February 4, 1999, Mr. Watts purchased the Trust's line of credit and the
Trust paid interest to Mr. Watts monthly at the rate of 8.50% from such date
through April 27, 1999, at which time the Trust obtained a new line of credit
which expires April 27, 2000. The entire proceeds from the new line of credit
were used to repay the outstanding indebtedness to Mr. Watts. For a detailed
discussion see Item 13 - "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
Shareholder Performance Graph
- -----------------------------
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the yearly percentage change in
the cumulative total shareholder return on the Trust's Shares with the
cumulative total return of companies on the Standard & Poor's (S&P) 500 Stock
Index, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT")
Equity REIT Total Return Index (the "Equity REIT Index") and the NAREIT Mortgage
REIT Total Return Index. The returns are based on the market price of the Shares
and assume the reinvestment of dividends. The calculation of total cumulative
return assumes a $100 investment in the Shares on December 31, 1993. The
comparisons in this table are historical and are not intended to forecast or be
indicative of possible future performance of the Trust's Shares.

Compensation of Board of Trustees
- ---------------------------------
Trustees who are officers of the Trust do not receive compensation for
their services as Trustees. Trustees who are not officers of the Trust (each a
"Non-Employee Trustee") receive compensation for their services as the Board of
Trustees may from time to time determine. During fiscal 1998, the Non-Employee
Trustees did not receive an annual retainer but did receive $250 for each
regular and special meetings of the Board of Trustees attended.
In addition, the Non-Employee Trustees are eligible to participate in the
Trust's 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "1997 Incentive Plan").
Pursuant to the 1997 Incentive Plan, in fiscal 1998, the Board of Trustees
granted to the Non-Employee Trustees stock options to purchase an aggregate of
27,000 Shares, subject to certain conditions (including, without limitation,
conditions relating to vesting). In addition, Mr. Petersen, James D. Ross and
Thomas B. Bender (Mr. Bender served as a Trustee from January 1, 1998 through
May 4, 1998 the date of the 1998 Annual Meeting of Shareholders) each received
an option to purchase 3,000 Shares. Phill D. Greenblatt, Henry Hirsch and
Gilbert H. Watts, Jr. each received an option to purchase 6,000 Shares. Each of
these options was granted at a per Share exercise price of $4.00 and becomes
fully exercisable on June 9, 1999, the first anniversary of the grant date.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Vinings entered into management agreements with Vinings Properties, Inc.,
an affiliate of Mr. Anzo and Ms. Reed, to provide property management services
for The Thicket Apartments ("Thicket") and Windrush Apartments ("Windrush") for
a fee equal to a percentage of gross revenues plus a fee for data processing. A
total of $215,392 in management and data processing fees was incurred by the
Trust during 1998. On January 1, 1999, the Trust entered into new management
agreements with VIP Management, LLC, also an affiliate of Mr. Anzo and Ms. Reed,
to provide management services for Thicket, Windrush and Peachtree Business
Center ("Peachtree") on substantially the same terms as the previous agreements.
In addition, as a commitment to the rebuilding of the Trust, prior to 1998
The Vinings Group, Inc., an affiliate of Mr. Anzo and Ms. Reed and the parent
corporation of Vinings Properties, Inc., (collectively, "The Vinings Group"),
provided numerous services at no cost to the Trust relating to administration,
acquisition, and capital and asset advisory services. Certain direct costs paid
on the Trust's behalf were reimbursed to The Vinings Group and beginning January
1, 1998, The Vinings Group charged the Trust for certain overhead charges.
However, while the Trust has been in its initial growth stages, The Vinings
Group has been committed to providing as many services as possible to promote
the Trust's growth. A total of $45,000 was paid for 1998 to The Vinings Group
for shareholder services provided for the sole benefit of the Trust by one of
The Vinings Group's employees. In addition, a total of $105,000 was incurred for
the year ended December 31, 1998 to The Vinings Group for the reimbursement of
overhead expenses, which includes salaries and benefits for other employees
hired by The Vinings Group for the benefit of the Trust.
On June 28, 1998 the Trust renewed its line of credit in the amount of
$2,000,000 for six months, which expired on December 28, 1998. The Trust did not
renew the line of credit at that time and the bank informally extended the due
date to February 4, 1999 with interest continuing to be paid monthly until the
Trust secured alternative financing. On February 4, 1999 Mr. Watts, an
independent Trustee of the Trust, purchased the line of credit from the bank and
the Trust paid interest to Mr. Watts monthly at the annual rate of 8.50% from
such date through April 27, 1999. At that time, the Trust obtained a new line of
credit, the entire proceeds of which were used to repay the outstanding
indebtedness to Mr. Watts.
The Trust believes that all of the above relationships and transactions are
fair and reasonable and are on terms at least as favorable to the Trust as those
which might have been obtained with unrelated third parties.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
registrant has duly caused this amendment to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, thereto duly authorized.
