Item 5: Other Events
On August 25, August 28, and October 31, 1997, Associated
Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired certain
assets, consisting principally of the Multifamily Properties (the
"Acquired Properties") as further described below from the named
sellers (the "Acquired Properties"). The Acquired Properties
were as follows:
Date of
Purchase Seller Name of Multifamily Property Suites
08/25/97 OEPT Realty Holding Company Clinton Place Apartments 202
08/28/97 Embrey Partners Ltd. Waterstone Apartments 344
10/31/97 The Prudential Insurance Company Spring Valley Apartments 224
of America
With respect to the Acquired Properties, the Company
purchased all of the above named sellers' rights, title and
interests in the apartment complex and land together with all
rights of way, easements, licenses, permits, fixtures,
furnishings, equipment, the right to manage, other intangible
assets, leases and tenancies, and all guaranties, warranties and
other intangible rights pertaining to the Acquired Properties.
Neither the Company nor any of its shareholders owned any
interests in the sellers prior to the acquisition of the Acquired
Properties by the Company. The purchase price of the Acquired
Properties was approximately $50.3 million, of which $0.4 million
represented liabilities assumed.
In determining the price paid for the Acquired Properties,
the Company considered the historical and expected cash flow from
the Acquired Properties, the nature of the occupancy trends and
terms of the leases in place, current operating costs and taxes,
the physical condition of the Acquired Properties, the potential
to increase their cash flow and other factors. The Company also
considered the capitalization rates at which it believes
apartment properties have recently sold, but determined the
prices it was willing to pay for the Acquired Properties
primarily based on the factors discussed above. No independent
appraisals were performed in connection with the acquisitions.
The Company, after investigation of the properties, is not aware
of any material factors, other than those enumerated above, that
would cause the financial information reported to not be
necessarily indicative of future expected operating results.
Certain other information concerning the Acquired Properties
is summarized below. The cash purchase price of the Acquired
Properties has been financed primarily with cash on hand made
available through the Company's revolving credit facility (the
"Line of Credit"). The Acquired Properties have been operated,
since construction, as rental properties. The Company will
manage all of the Acquired Properties.

expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 for the Certain

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses
have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
The accompanying financial statements are not representative
of the actual operations for the periods presented, because
certain expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses to
be incurred by the Company in the future operations of the
properties have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of
depreciation on the building and improvements and amortization of
organization costs and other intangible assets, interest expense
and other general and administrative expenses not directly
related to the future operations of the Acquisition Properties.
Income Recognition
Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded
when due from tenants.
Repair and Maintenance
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to
operations as incurred. Betterments that improve or extend the
life of the asset beyond its original condition are capitalized.
Costs incurred in connection with resident turnover are charged
to operations.
Unaudited Financial Information
The financial data for the period ended September 30, 1997
or date of acquisition, whichever is earlier, is unaudited;
however, in the opinion of the Company, the interim data includes
adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim
period. The results for the interim periods presented are not
