BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which specializes in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties. On June 30, 1998, the Company consummated the merger of MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIGRA") into the Company and the related acquisition of eight multifamily properties and one development property. The Company also acquired the property management businesses of several of MIGRA's affiliates and the right to receive certain asset management fees, including disposition and incentive fees, that would have otherwise been received by MIGRA upon the sale of certain of the properties owned by institutions advised by MIGRA. MIGRA's asset management, property management, investment advisory and mortgage servicing operations including those of MIGRA's affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the "MIGRA Operations". At June 30, 1998, the Company owned, or was a joint venture partner in, 99 multifamily properties containing 20,974 suites. Additionally, the Company managed 59 non-owned properties, 51 of which were multifamily properties consisting of 13,331 suites, (19 of which are owned by various institutional investors consisting of 6,279 suites) and eight of which were commercial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 825,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Through special purpose entities, collectively referred to as the "Service Companies", the Company provides to both owned and non-owned properties, management, painting and computer services as well as mortgage origination and servicing. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all subsidiaries, and the Service Companies. The Company holds a preferred share interest in the Service Companies which entitles it to receive 95% of the economic benefits from operations and which is convertible into a majority interest in the voting common shares. The outstanding voting common shares of these Service Companies are held by an executive officer of the Company. The Service Companies are consolidated because, from a financial reporting perspective, the Company is entitled to virtually all economic benefits and with related party relationships, is deemed to have operating control. The preferred share interest is not an impermissible investment for purposes of the Company's REIT qualification test. One property included in the financial statements is 33 1/3% owned by third party investors. As this property has an accumulated deficit, no recognition of the third party interest is reflected in the financial statements since it is the Company's policy to recognize minority interest only to the extent that the third party's investment and accumulated share of income exceeds distributions and its share of accumulated losses. Investments in joint ventures, which are 50% or less owned by the Company, are presented using the equity method of accounting. Since the Company intends to fulfill its obligations as a partner in the joint ventures, the Company has recognized its share of losses and distributions in excess of its investment. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 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 7 information and footnotes 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 and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 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 the Associated Estates Realty Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Effective December 31, 1997, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 - Earnings Per Share. All periods have been presented on the same basis. Effective March 31, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income. At June 30, 1998, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income requiring additional disclosure. In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133-Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement requires fair value accounting for all derivatives, including recognizing all such instruments on the balance sheet with an offsetting amount recorded in the income statement or as part of comprehensive income. The new standard becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2000. The Company does not expect this pronouncement to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131 - Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for disclosure about operating segments in annual financial statements and selected information in interim financial reports. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The statement supersedes SFAS No. 14 - Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise. The new standard becomes effective for the Company for the year ending December 31, 1998, and requires that comparative information from earlier years be restated to conform to the requirements of this standard. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements to conform to the 1998 presentation. 2. DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION OF MULTIFAMILY PROPERTIES Development Activity Construction in progress, including the cost of land, for the development of multifamily properties was $50,186,761 and $16,439,393 at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The Company capitalizes interest costs on funds used in construction, real estate taxes and insurance from the commencement of development activity through the time the property is available for leasing. Interest, real estate taxes and insurance aggregating approximately $747,930 and $913,000 were capitalized during the six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the construction and leasing of 98 suites at two properties were completed at a total cost of $7.9 million.

Acquisition Activity During the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, without regard to the merger of MIGRA and the related acquisition of the eight MIG REIT Properties and the one development property, the Company acquired four multifamily properties containing 1,320 suites for an aggregate purchase price of $74.4 million of which $17.0 million represents liabilities assumed including mortgage indebtedness of $15.0 million. The balance of the purchase price was initially financed using borrowings under an unsecured 90 day term loan of $44.5 million and borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit of approximately $14.4 million. The properties are located in Coconut Creek, Florida; Duluth, Georgia; Columbia, Maryland; and Toledo, Ohio. Three of the four properties were acquired in anticipation of the merger with MIGRA and the purchase of the MIG REIT properties. The three properties were owned, at least in part, by MIG Residential Trust. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was $59.5 million of which approximately $16.3 million represented assumed liabilities. On June 30, 1998, the Company consummated the merger of MIGRA into the Company and the related acquisition of eight multifamily properties and one development property. The Company also acquired the property management businesses of several of MIGRA's affiliates and the right to receive certain asset management fees, including disposition and incentive fees that would have otherwise been received by MIGRA upon the sale of certain of the properties owned by institutions advised by MIGRA. MIGRA's asset management, property management, investment advisory and mortgage servicing operations including those of MIGRA's affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the "MIGRA Operations". 9 As consideration for their interest in MIGRA and the affiliated property management businesses, the shareholders of MIGRA received 396,434 of the Company's common shares. The number of shares issued for MIGRA was determined based on the average closing prices of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the merger agreement or $23.63 per share. Subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria, the former shareholders of MIGRA have the opportunity to receive additional contingent consideration to be paid in the form of the Company's common shares as further discussed in the following paragraph. The merger agreement provided for up to $3.1 million and $6.4 million in contingent consideration payable on the first and second anniversary of merger, respectively. The agreement also provided for certain reductions to the purchase price for the MIGRA Operations to the extent that any of MIGRA's or a MIGRA affiliate's advisory clients have not consented to the assignment of, or have terminated any advisory, asset, property management or mortgage servicing agreement prior to the merger. These reductions are offset to the extent that MIGRA enters into any new asset or property management or mortgage servicing agreement on or before the 90 days preceding the closing of the merger. The initial purchase price, including contingent consideration, has been reduced by $5.6 million pursuant to the price reduction provisions of the merger agreement. The Company also acquired eight multifamily properties from subsidiaries of MIG Residential REIT, Inc. (the "MIG REIT Properties") for $12 million in cash, the issuance of 5,139,387 unregistered common shares of the Company and the assumption of approximately $0.6 million in liabilities. The number of common shares was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common shares over the 20 day period preceding the purchase of the MIG REIT Properties or $18.76 per share. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed using borrowings made available through the Company's Line of Credit. The Company is required to file for registration of the common shares issued within 60 days from the closing date. The MIG REIT Properties are further described as follows: Number Year of Placed Name of Property Location Suites in Service 20th and Campbell Apartments Phoenix, Arizona 204 1989 Annen Woods Apartments Pikesville, Maryland 132 1987 Desert Oasis Apartments Palm Desert, California 320 1990 Fleetwood Apartments Houston, Texas 104 1993 Hampton Point Apartments Silver Springs, Maryland 352 1986 Morgan Place Apartments Atlanta, Georgia 186 1989 Peachtree Apartments St. Louis, Missouri 156 1989 Windsor Falls Apartments Raleigh, North Carolina 276 1994 1,730 In connection with the above transactions, the Company also acquired the general and certain limited partnership interests in a partnership that owns a multifamily property in development. In exchange for $15.6 million, the Company received 661,663 operating partnership units, representing a 59% general partnership interest in AERC HP Advisors Limited Partnership ("HP Advisors"), a DownREIT partnership, which owns substantially all of a parcel of real property located in Orlando, Florida upon which a 460 suite multifamily apartment complex known as Windsor at Kirkman Apartments ("Windsor") is being constructed. At the date of acquisition, Windsor was approximately 30% complete. Certain limited partner members of HP Advisors received 459,719 Operating Partnership units in exchange for their interests in Windsor. The number of operating partnership units issued was determined based on the average closing prices of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the merger agreement or $23.63 per share. As operating partnership units can be exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, into common shares of the Company, they are assumed to be issued at a price related to the common shares of the Company. The cash paid by the Company in exchange for its operating partnership units in HP Advisors was financed using borrowings made available through the Company's Line of Credit. As of June 30, 1998, the Company's purchase price allocation for the MIGRA related transactions is based upon all available information and is subject to change. However, management does not believe any changes will be material. 10 3.

SECURED DEBT Conventional Mortgage Debt Conventional mortgages payable include nonrecourse, fixed and variable rate, project specific loans to the Company which are collateralized by the associated real estate and resident leases. Mortgages payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature at various dates through March 1, 2007. The balance of the conventional mortgages was $36.0 million and $29.4 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The five conventional mortgages have a fixed rate. On June 30, 1998, the Company paid off an $8.1 million mortgage which had a variable rate. Federally Insured Mortgage Debt Federally insured mortgage debt is insured by HUD pursuant to one of the mortgage insurance programs administered under the National Housing Act of 1934 (one property is funded through Industrial Development Bonds). These government-insured loans are nonrecourse to the Company. Payments of principal, interest and HUD mortgage insurance premiums are made in equal monthly installments and mature at various dates through March 1, 2024. The balance of the federally insured mortgages was $28.1 million and $28.4 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Six of the seven federally insured mortgages have a fixed rate and the remaining mortgage ($1.9 million) has a variable rate. Under certain of the mortgage agreements, the Company is required to make escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement of project assets. The variable rate mortgage is secured by a letter of credit which is renewed annually. 11 5. UNSECURED DEBT Senior Notes The Senior Notes with aggregate net proceeds of $83.6 million after underwriting commissions, offering expenses and discount, were issued during 1995 in the principal amounts of $75 million and $10 million and accrue interest at 8.38% and 7.10%, respectively, and mature in 2000 and 2002, respectively. The balance of the $75 million Senior Note, net of unamortized discounts, was $74.9 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997. Medium-Term Notes Program The Company issued eleven Medium-Term Notes (the "MTN's") having an aggregate balance of $112.5 million and $92.5 million at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. The principal amounts of these MTN's range from $2.5 million to $20 million and bear interest from 6.18% to 7.93% over terms ranging from two to 30 years, with a stated weighted average maturity of 11 years at June 30, 1998. The holders of two MTN's with stated terms of 30 years each may request repayment five and seven years from the issue date of the respective MTN. Should these holders request prepayment, the weighted average maturity would be 5.9 years. The weighted average interest rate of the eleven MTN's is 6.95%. One, four and six of the MTN's in the aggregate amounts of $20.0 million, $50.0 million and $42.5 million were issued in 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company's current MTN Program provides for the issuance, from time-to-time, of up to $102.5 million of MTN's due nine months or more from the date of issue and may be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the holder prior to the stated maturity date. These MTN's may bear interest at fixed rates or at floating rates and can be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000. There are currently $62.5 million of additional MTN borrowings available under the existing program. From time to time, the Company may enter into hedge agreements to minimize its exposure to interest rate risks. There are no interest rate protection agreements outstanding as of June 30, 1998. Line of Credit In June 1998, the Company completed a new unsecured $200 million revolving credit facility (the "Line of Credit") which replaced a $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The new agreement provides for a reduction in pricing and an extension of the term for an additional year through June 2001. The Line of Credit includes a competitive bid option for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company recognized a non-cash extraordinary charge of approximately $124,895, relating to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the former revolving credit facility. The Company's borrowings under this Line of Credit bear interest at variable rates based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread (currently 100 basis points), depending on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. The Line of Credit is used to finance the acquisition of properties, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes. At June 30, 1998, $174 million was outstanding under this facility. 6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND JOINT VENTURES The Company provides management and other services to (and is reimbursed for certain expenses incurred on behalf of) certain non-owned properties in which the Company's Chief Executive Officer and/or other related parties have varying ownership interests. The entities which own these properties, as well as other related parties, are referred to as "affiliates". The Company also provides similar services to joint venture properties. 12 Summarized affiliate and joint venture transaction activity follows: Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Property management fee and other miscellaneous service revenues - affiliates $ 459,005 $ 480,074 $ 1,042,936 $ 1,106,305 - joint ventures 236,609 226,936 463,554 438,751 Painting service revenues - affiliates 82,439 121,681 182,351 237,948 - joint ventures 119,065 41,000 212,966 74,437 Expenses incurred on behalf of and reimbursed by (1) - affiliates 1,011,478 1,005,509 2,156,436 2,144,660 - joint ventures 640,937 607,077 1,282,578 1,260,028 Interest income - affiliates 210,701 141,699 378,685 203,464 Interest expense - affiliates (83,751) (94,115) (213,130) (170,330) - joint ventures (12,227) (5,973) (24,037) (11,756) (1) Primarily payroll and employee benefits, reimbursed at cost. Property management fees and other miscellaneous receivables due from affiliates and joint venture properties were $6,600,986 and $4,542,798 in the aggregate at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. Other miscellaneous payables due to affiliates and joint venture properties were $3,109,994 and $329,000 in the aggregate at June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively. In the normal course of business, the Company advances funds on behalf of, or holds funds for the benefit of affiliates and joint ventures. Funds advanced to affiliates and joint ventures aggregated $7,029,290 and $823,656 at June 30, 1998, respectively, and $9,048,403 and $847,954 at December 31, 1997, respectively. Except for insignificant amounts, advances to affiliates bear interest; the rate charged was 8.3% on a weighted average basis, during the period ending June 30, 1998. The Company held funds for the benefit of affiliates and joint ventures in the aggregate amount of $5,496,577 and $1,647,533 at June 30, 1998, respectively, and $4,989,674 and $1,805,543 at December 31, 1997, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, certain affiliated entities which owed the Company a substantial amount of the advances described above, made capital calls to their partners for the purpose of effecting repayment of such advances. Thereafter, approximately $4.0 million of advances were repaid pursuant to such capital calls. However, a corporation (the "Corporation") owned by a member of the Company's board of directors, and his siblings (including the wife of the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) which serves as general partner of certain affiliated entities, has informed the Company that the Corporation has caused the commencement of a review of expenditures relating to approximately $2.9 million of capital calls from certain HUD subsidized affiliated entities, to determine the appropriateness of such expenditures and whether certain of such expenditures are properly the responsibility of Associated Estates Realty Corporation. Should this review result in any dispute with respect to the foregoing expenditures, such disagreement will be resolved through binding arbitration. The Company believes that all expenditures were appropriate and, accordingly, does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any disagreement will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At June 30, 1998, two notes of equal amounts were receivable from the Company's Chief Executive Officer aggregating $3,342,000 (included in "Accounts and notes receivables-affiliates and joint ventures"). The notes were entered into on May 23, 1997 and bear interest, payable quarterly at the 30-day LIBOR plus the LIBOR margin on the Company's Line of Credit, with principal due May 1, 2002. The 30-day LIBOR averaged 5.65% for the period ending June 30, 1998 while the LIBOR margin on the Company's Line of Credit ranged from 75 to 125 basis points. One of the notes is collateralized by 150,000 of the Company's common shares; the other note is unsecured. The Company recognized interest income of $113,182 for the period ending June 30, 1998 relating to these notes. 13 7. PREFERRED AND COMMON SHARES On July 2, 1997, the Company completed an offering of 1,750,000 common shares at $23.50 per share. The net proceeds of approximately $38.8 million were applied to reduce debt. On June 30, 1998, the Company issued 396,434 and 5,139,387 common shares relating to the Company's merger of MIGRA and the related acquisition of eight multifamily properties, respectively. On June 30, 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized management to purchase from time to time up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. Purchases under the program may be financed from funds generated through the sale of properties and internally generated cash flow. 8. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings Per Share Earnings per share ("EPS") has been computed pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 128 which became effective after December 15, 1997; all periods prior thereto have been restated to conform with the provisions of this Statement. The following table provides a reconciliation of both income before extraordinary items and the number of common shares used in the computations of basic EPS, which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and diluted EPS, which includes all such shares.

The revenue and expenses of Oak Bend Apartments and Waterstone Apartments were excluded from the pro forma financial information for such periods as the properties were under construction during substantially all of the periods prior to their acquisition. 15 The 1997 and 1998 pro forma financial information does not include the revenue and expenses for Windsor at Kirkman Apartments, a property that was acquired in 1998, for the period January 1 through the date the property was acquired by the Company. The revenue and expenses of Windsor at Kirkman were excluded from the pro forma financial information for such periods as the property was under construction during substantially all of the periods prior to its acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the transactions had been completed as set forth, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations of future periods of the Company. 11. CONTINGENCIES The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") notified the Company that Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Inc., (the Company's subsidiary corporation that owns Rainbow Terrace Apartments) is in default under the terms of the Regulatory Agree- ment and Housing Assistance Payments Contract ("HAP Contract") pertaining to this property. Among other matters, HUD alleges that the property is poorly managed and Rainbow Terrace Apartments has failed to complete certain physical improvements to the property. Moreover, HUD claims that the property is not in compliance with numerous technical regulations concerning whether certain expenses are properly chargeable to the property. As provided in the Regulatory Agreement and HAP Contract, in the event of a default, HUD has the right to exercise various remedies including terminat- ing future payments under the HAP Contract and foreclosing the government-insured mortgage encumbering the property. This controversy arose out of a Comprehensive Management Review of the property initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997, which included a complete physical inspection of the property. Rainbow Terrace Apartments believes that it has corrected the management deficiencies citied by HUD in the Comprehensive Management Review (other than the completion of certain physical improvements to the property) and in a series of written responses to HUD, justified the expenditures questioned by HUD as being properly chargeable to the property in accordance with HUD's regulations. Moreover, Rainbow Terrace Apartments believes it has repaired any physical deficiencies noted by HUD in its Comprehensive Management Review that might pose a threat to the life and safety of its residents. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the controversy with HUD, but does not believe it will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 1998, HUD notified the Company that all future Housing Assistance Payments ("HAP") for Rainbow Terrace Apartments were abated and instructed the lender to accelerate the balance due under the mortgage. Subsequent to the notification of HAP abatements and the acceleration of the mortgage, the lender advised the Company that the acceleration notification had been rescinded at HUD's instruction. HUD then notified the Company that the HAP payments would be reinstated and that HUD was reviewing further information concerning Rainbow Terrace Apartments provided by the Company. The Company has since received the July and August 1998 HAP payments for Rainbow Terrace Apartments. As part of the Company's ongoing discussions with HUD concerning the resolution of these matters, the Company has been notified that HUD has agreed to review the budget based rent increase submitted to HUD by the Company in 1995. At December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998, the Company had receivables of $1.35 million related to these retroactive rent increase requests. At June 30, 1998, Rainbow Terrace Apartments had net assets of $2.4 million, including the retroactive rent receivable of $1.35 million due from HUD, and a remaining amount due under the mortgage of $1.9 million. 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company is exploring opportunities to strategically dispose of a number of its multifamily properties; namely certain joint venture, government assisted and congregate care properties. On June 29, 1998, the Company declared a dividend of $.465 per common share for the quarter ending June 30, 1998, which was paid on August 1, 1998 to shareholders of record on July 15, 1998. On June 30, 1998, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized management to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, 25,000 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $467,894 which was funded primarily from operating cash flows. On July 23, 1998, the Company issued 11,880 common shares to the MIGRA shareholders. Such shares were withheld at the closing of the merger pending the receipt of a consent of a MIGRA client with respect to the merger. The shares were issued at $23.63. Such shares represent all of the shares that were held back at the closing of the merger. The Company is currently under separate contracts to purchase a multifamily property containing 368 suites and two parcels of land containing 72 acres for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $41.3 million. The multifamily property is located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. The land parcels are located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh) and Atlanta, Georgia. The Company expects to finance the multifamily property and land parcel acquisitions with approximately $3.0 million in operating partnership units and the remainder using borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be successful in its attempts to acquire the proposed acquisition properties and the land parcels currently under contract. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company acquired one multifamily property located in Indianapolis, Indiana containing 264 suites for an aggregate purchase price of $18.7 million. The purchase price was financed using borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company increased its unsecured $200 million revolving credit facility to $235 million. 16 ASSOCIATED ESTATES REALTY CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Overview Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") which, at June 30, 1998, owned or was a joint venture partner in 99 multifamily properties containing 20,974 suites located in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Maryland, Michigan, Indiana, western Pennsylvania, Arizona, California, Missouri, North Carolina and Texas. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Operations contained in the financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1994. REIT's are subject to a number of organization and operational requirements including a requirement that 95% of the income that would otherwise be considered as taxable income be distributed to its shareholders. Providing the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will generally not be subject to a Federal income tax on net income. The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its net cash provided by operations. The Company believes that its net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to meet both operating requirements and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and long term. Financing: In June 1998, the Company completed a new unsecured $200 million revolving credit facility (the "Line of Credit") which replaced a $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The new agreement provides for a reduction in pricing and an extension of the term for an additional year through June 2001. The Line of Credit includes a competitive bid option for up to 50% of the amount of the facility. During the second quarter of 1998, the Company recognized a non-cash extraordinary charge of approximately $0.125 million ($0.0075 per share), relating to the write-off of unamortized deferred finance costs associated with the former revolving credit facility. The Company's borrowings under this Line of Credit bear interest at variable rates based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread (currently 100 basis points), depending on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. The Line of Credit is used to finance the acquisition of properties, to provide working capital and for general corporate purposes. At June 30, 1998, $174 million was outstanding under this facility. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company increased its unsecured $200 million revolving credit facility to $235 million. Eighty-one of the Company's 92 wholly owned properties were unencumbered at June 30, 1998 with annualized earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization of approximately $68.1 million and an historical cost basis of approximately $674.8 million. The remaining eleven of the Company's wholly owned properties, have an historical cost basis of $120.3 million and secured property specific debt of $64.0 million at June 30, 1998. Unsecured debt, which totaled $370.4 million at June 30, 1998, consisted of $112.5 million in Medium-Term Notes, Senior Notes of $84.9 million and amounts drawn on the revolving credit facility of $173 million. The Company's proportionate share of the mortgage debt relating to the seven joint venture properties was $17.6 million at June 30, 1998. The weighted average interest rate on the secured, unsecured and the Company's proportionate share of the joint venture debt was 7.4% at June 30, 1998. 17 On April 9, 1998 the Company issued a 10-year, $20 million Medium-Term Note (the "MTN") under its $102.5 million MTN program. The weighted average interest rate, including the effect of the settlement of a Treasury Lock agreement, is 7.2%. The net proceeds to the Company with respect to this issuance were $19.4 million, which were applied to amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit. Registration statements filed in connection with financing: The Company has filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed offering of up to $368.8 million of debt securities, preferred shares, depositary shares, common shares and common share warrants. The total amount of the shelf filing includes a $102.5 million MTN program of which MTN's totaling $40.0 million have been issued leaving $62.5 million available. The securities may be offered from time to time at prices and upon terms to be determined at the time of sale. The MIGRA Transaction On June 30, 1998, the Company consummated the merger of MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. (MIGRA) into the Company and the related acquisition of eight multifamily properties and one development property. The Company also acquired the property management businesses of several of MIGRA's affiliates and the right to receive certain asset management fees, including disposition and incentive fees that would have otherwise been received by MIGRA upon the sale of certain of the properties owned by institutions advised by MIGRA. MIGRA's asset management, property management, investment advisory and mortgage servicing operations including those of MIGRA's affiliates are collectively referred to herein as the "MIGRA Operations". As consideration for their interest in MIGRA and the affiliated property management businesses, the shareholders of MIGRA received 396,434 of the Company's common shares. The number of shares issued for MIGRA was determined based on the average closing prices of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the merger agreement or $23.63 per share. Subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria, the former shareholders of MIGRA have the opportunity to receive additional contingent consideration to be paid in the form of the Company's common shares as further discussed in the following paragraph. The merger agreement provided for up to $3.1 million and $6.4 million in contingent consideration payable on the first and second anniversary of merger, respectively. The agreement also provided for certain reductions to the purchase price for the MIGRA operations to the extent that any of MIGRA's or a MIGRA affiliate's advisory clients have not consented to the assignment of, or have terminated any advisory, asset, property management or mortgage servicing agreement prior to the merger. These reductions are offset to the extent that MIGRA enters into any new asset or property management or mortgage servicing agreement on or before the 90 days preceding the closing of the merger. The initial purchase price has been reduced by $5.6 million pursuant to the price reduction provisions of the merger agreement. The Company also acquired eight multifamily properties from subsidiaries of MIG Residential REIT, Inc. (the "MIG REIT Properties") for $12 million in cash, the issuance of 5,139,387 unregistered common shares of the Company and the assumption of approximately $0.6 million in liabilities. The number of common shares was determined based on the closing price of the Company's common shares over the 20 day period preceding the purchase of the MIG REIT Properties or $18.76 per share. The cash portion of the purchase price was financed using borrowings made available through the Company's Line of Credit. The Company is required to register common shares issued within 60 days from the closing date. 18 The MIG REIT Properties are further described as follows: Number Year of Placed Name of Property Location Suites in Service 20th and Campbell Apartments Phoenix, Arizona 204 1989 Annen Woods Apartments Pikesville, Maryland 132 1987 Desert Oasis Apartments Palm Desert, California 320 1990 Fleetwood Apartments Houston, Texas 104 1993 Hampton Point Apartments Silver Springs, Maryland 352 1986 Morgan Place Apartments Atlanta, Georgia 186 1989 Peachtree Apartments St. Louis, Missouri 156 1989 Windsor Falls Apartments Raleigh, North Carolina 276 1994 1,730 In connection with the above transactions, the Company also acquired the general and certain limited partnership interests in a partnership that owns a multifamily property in development. In exchange for $15.6 million, the Company received 661,663 operating partnership units, representing a 59% general partnership interest in AERC HP Advisors Limited Partnership ("HP Advisors"), a DownREIT partnership, which owns substantially all of a parcel of real property located in Orlando, Florida upon which a 460 suite multifamily apartment complex known as Windsor at Kirkman Apartments ("Windsor") is being constructed. At the date of acquisition, Windsor is approximately 30% complete. Certain limited partner members of HP Advisors received 459,719 Operating Partnership units in exchange for their interests in Windsor. The number of operating partnership units issued was determined based on the average closing prices of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the merger agreement or $23.63 per share. As operating partnership units can be exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, into common shares of the Company, they are assumed to be issued at a price related to the common shares of the Company. The cash paid by the Company in exchange for its operating partnership units in HP Advisors was financed using borrowings made available through the Company's Line of Credit. The Company also entered into a contract to acquire Windsor Pines Apartments ("Pines"), a 368 suite multifamily property being constructed in Pembroke Pines, Florida for total consideration of $38.1 million. The total consideration paid for Pines will consist of cash of $35.1 million and the issuance of 126,958 operating partnership units in a yet to be formed DownREIT partnership. The operating partnership units issued for the Pines property will be determined based on the average closing prices of the Company's common shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of the merger agreement or $23.63 per share. As operating partnership units can be exchangeable, subject to certain conditions, into common shares of the Company, they are assumed to be issued at a price related to the common shares of the Company. The cash required for the Pines purchase will be financed using borrowings made available through the Company's Line of Credit. There is no guarantee, however, that the Company will be successful in acquiring Pines. Acquisitions, development and dispositions: The Company intends to continue to finance its multifamily property acquisitions and development with the most appropriate sources of capital, which may include undistributed Funds From Operations, the issuance of equity securities, bank and other institutional borrowings, the issuance of debt securities, the assumption of mortgage indebtedness or through the exchange of properties. The Company may also determine to raise additional working capital through one or more of these sources. During the period January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1998, without regard to the merger of MIGRA, and the related acquisition of the eight MIG REIT Properties and the one development property, the Company acquired four multifamily properties containing 1,320 suites for an aggregate purchase price of $74.4 million of which $17.0 million represents liabilities assumed including mortgage indebtedness of $15.0 million. The balance of the purchase price was financed using borrowings under an unsecured 90 day term loan of $44.5 million and borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit of approximately $14.4 million. The properties are located in Coconut Creek, Florida; Duluth, Georgia; Columbia, Maryland; and Toledo, Ohio. Three of the four properties were acquired in anticipation of the merger with MIGRA and the purchase of the MIG REIT properties. The three properties were owned, at least in part, by MIG Residential Trust. The aggregate purchase price of these properties was $59.5 million of which approximately $16.3 million represented assumed liabilities. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company acquired one multifamily property located in Indianapolis, Indiana containing 264 suites for an aggregate purchase price of $18.7 million. The purchase price was financed using borrowings under the Company's Line of Credit. 19 The remainder of the acquisitions, development and dispositions section contains forward-looking statements and certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based only on current judgements and current knowledge of management. These forward- looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected include the general economic climate; the supply and demand for multifamily properties; interest rate levels; the availability of financing and other risks associated with the acquisition, development and disposition of properties, including risks that development or lease-up may not be completed on schedule. Furthermore, there can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in acquiring the multifamily property and the land parcels under contract as described below. The Bradford at Easton, a newly developed 324 suite property located in Columbus, Ohio, achieved stabilized occupancy during the second quarter and was 95.4% physically occupied at June 30, 1998. The Village of Western Reserve, a newly developed 108 suite property located in Streetsboro, Ohio (a city located southeast of Cleveland) was completed and achieved stabilized occupancy in July, 1998 and is currently 100% physically occupied. The Company considers occupancy at a newly developed property to have stabilized once the property's physical occupancy reaches 93%. The Residence at Barrington, a planned 288 property located in Aurora, Ohio (also located southeast of Cleveland) is scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 1998. The Company has recently commenced construction of The Village at Avon, a 312 suite property located in Avon, Ohio (a city located west of Cleveland). The Company has entered into separate contracts to purchase a multifamily property containing 368 suites and two land parcels containing 72 acres for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $41.3 million. The multifamily property is located in Pembroke Pines, Florida. One parcel of land is located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania (a suburb of Pittsburgh) and will commence construction at Berkley Manor, a 226 suite property after the consummation of the anticipated purchase in 1999. The other land parcel is located in Atlanta, Georgia and will commence construction after an anticipated purchase in the third quarter of 1998. The Company is in the process of constructing an additional 488 suites on land adjacent to multifamily properties currently owned by the Company as follows: Additional Anticipated Property Location Suites Completion Arbor Landings Apartments Ann Arbor, Michigan 160 1st Qtr. 1999 Aspen Lakes Grand Rapids, Michigan 118 1st Qtr. 1999 Georgetown Park Apartments Fenton, Michigan 120 4th Qtr. 1998 (a) The Landings at the Preserve Battle Creek, Michigan 90 4th Qtr. 1999 488 (a) A clubhouse will also be added to The Landings at the Preserve. 20 The Company is exploring opportunities to dispose of a number of its joint venture, government assisted and congregate care multifamily properties. The Company has retained a financial advisor to evaluate the alternatives relating to the disposition of its ownership and management of government assisted properties. Dividends: On June 29, 1998, the Company declared a dividend of $0.465 per common share for the quarter ending June 30, 1998 which was paid on August 1, 1998 to shareholders of record on July 15, 1998. On May 18, 1998, the Company declared a dividend of $0.60938 per depositary share on its Class A Cumulative Preferred Shares (the "Perpetual Preferred Shares") which was paid on June 15, 1998 to shareholders of record on June 1, 1998. Cash flow sources and applications: Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9,949,168 from $13,383,300 to $23,332,468 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 when compared with the six months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in cash provided by a decrease in accounts and notes receivable, accounts and notes receivable - affiliates and joint ventures and restricted cash which was offset somewhat by uses of cash from other operating assets and liabilities. Net cash flows used for investing activities of $104,705,167 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were primarily used for the acquisition and development of multifamily real estate, properties and undeveloped land parcels. Net cash flows provided by financing activities of $80,924,027 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were primarily comprised of borrowings on the Line of Credit and other unsecured short-term borrowings. Funds were also used to pay dividends on the Company's common and Perpetual Preferred Shares as well as repayments on the Line of Credit and the repayment of an $8,100,000 mortgage note. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1998 to the three months ended June 30, 1997 Overall, total revenue increased $6,039,600 or 22.5% and total expenses increased $6,220,388 or 28.6% for the quarter. Net income applicable to common shares decreased $1,440,786 or 28.6%, after the dividends on the Company's Perpetual Preferred Shares. In the following discussion of the comparison of the three months ended June 30, 1998 to the three months ended June 30, 1997, the term Core Portfolio Properties refers to the 35 wholly owned multifamily properties owned by the Company at the time of the IPO, the 37 properties acquired prior to April 1, 1997 and the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in two properties which the Company was a joint venture partner at the time of the IPO. Acquired Properties refers to the 18 properties acquired between April 1, 1997 and June 30, 1998. During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Acquired Properties generated total revenues of $7,422,982 while incurring property, operating and maintenance expenses of $2,812,624. Rental Revenues: Rental revenues increased $5,942,500 or 23.8% for the quarter. Increases in occupancy and suite rents at the Core Portfolio Market-rate and Government-Assisted Properties resulted in a $466,800 or 2.0% increase in rental revenue from these properties. The balance of the increase resulted from increased rental revenues attributable to office space and other miscellaneous rental revenue items. Other Revenues: Other income increased $124,300 or 21.4% for the quarter. The increase is due primarily to refunds of workers compensation. 21 Property operating and maintenance expenses: Property operating and maintenance expenses increased $2,473,100 or 23.7% for the quarter. Operating and maintenance expenses at the Acquired Properties increased $2,130,100 for the quarter due primarily to the operating and maintenance expenses incurred at the six properties acquired during 1997 and the twelve properties acquired in 1998. Property operating and maintenance expenses at the Core Portfolio Properties increased $343,100, or 3.5% when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1997 primarily due to increases in personnel, and real estate taxes and insurance which were offset by a slight decrease in utilities and building and grounds repair and maintenance expenses. Building renovations and suite and common area refurbishment in the Core Portfolio Properties that were not considered to be capital in nature averaged $79 per suite for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $101 per suite for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Other expenses: Depreciation and amortization increased $1,174,237 or 25.9% for the quarter primarily due to the increased depreciation and amortization expense recognized on the Acquired Properties. General and administrative expenses increased $239,700 or 15.4% for the quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to payroll, consulting and training expenses. Interest expense increased $2,259,300 or 46.6% for the quarter primarily due to the interest incurred with respect to the additional borrowings under the Line of Credit that were used for the acquisition of properties. Net income applicable to common shares: Net income applicable to common shares is reduced by dividends on the Perpetual Preferred Shares of $1,371,100. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Comparison of the six-months ended June 30, 1998 to the six- months ended June 30, 1997 Overall, total revenue increased $11,870,000 or 23.0% and total expenses before the extraordinary item and net income off the joint ventures increased $12,829,600 or 31.1% for the six month period. Net income applicable to common shares before the extraordinary item decreased $973,200 or 9.2%, after dividends on the Company's Perpetual Preferred Shares. In the following discussion of the comparison of the six- months ended June 30, 1998 to the six-months ended June 30, 1997, the term Core Portfolio Properties refers to the 35 wholly owned multifamily properties acquired by the Company at the time of the IPO, the 35 properties acquired during 1994, 1995 and 1996 and the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in two properties in which the Company was a joint venture partner at the time of the IPO. Acquired Properties refers to the 20 properties acquired between January 1, 1997 and June 30, 1998. During the six-months ended June 30, 1998, the Acquired Properties generated total revenues of $11,160,039 while incurring property, operating and maintenance expenses of $4,137,000. Rental Revenues: Rental revenues increased $11,887,100 or 24.7% for the six month period. The majority of this increase is attributable to an increase in rental revenues from the Acquired Properties of $11,093,139 for the same period. Increases in occupancy and suite rents at the Core Portfolio Market-rate and Government- Assisted Properties resulted in a $794,000 or 1.8% increase in rental revenue from these properties. Other Revenues: Other revenues increased $201,900 or 24.9% primarily due to refunds of workers compensation. 22 Property operating and maintenance expenses: Property operating and maintenance expenses increased $5,547,900 or 28.2% for the six month period. Operating and maintenance expenses at the Acquired Properties increased $4,137,000 for the six month period due primarily to the operating and maintenance expenses incurred at the 20 properties acquired between January 1, 1997 and June 30, 1998. Property operating and maintenance expenses at the Core Portfolio Properties increased $1,410,800 or 7.8% when compared to the prior six month period primarily due to increases in payroll, real estate taxes and insurance, and other operating expenses which were offset by a slight decrease in utilities. Total expenditures for building renovations and suite and common area refurbishment in the Core Portfolio Properties that were not considered to be capital in nature averaged $201 per suite for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $183 per suite for the six months ended June 30, 1997. Other expenses: Depreciation and amortization increased $2,160,000 or 24.4% for the six month period primarily due to the increased depreciation and amortization expense recognized on the Acquired Properties. General and administrative expenses increased $564,100 or 18.4% for the six month period. This increase is primarily attributable to payroll and payroll related expenses as the Company continues to develop a team of professionals to provide hands-on attention to the Company's expanding portfolio of assets. Interest expense increased $4,584,400 or 51.2% for the half primarily due to the interest incurred with respect to the additional borrowings under the Line of Credit and MTN's that were used for the acquisition of properties. Extraordinary item: The extraordinary item of $124,895 recognized during 1998 relates to the write-off of the deferred financing fees related to the termination of the old $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The extraordinary item of $1,043,446 recognized during 1997 relates to the write-off of a portion of the liabilities assumed with respect to certain multifamily properties acquired by the Company which related to the difference between the stated interest rate and the effective interest rate on mortgage indebtedness assumed. The mortgage indebtedness assumed upon the acquisition of these properties was repaid in 1997. Net income applicable to common shares: Net income applicable to common shares is reduced by dividends on the Perpetual Preferred Shares of $2,742,200. Equity in net income of joint ventures: The combined equity in net income of joint ventures decreased $13,600 or 6.2% and $91,700 or 35% for the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These decreases are primarily attributable to decreased rents and occupancies. 23 The following table presents the historical statements of operations of the Company's beneficial interest in the operations of the joint ventures for the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. For the three months For the six months ended June 30, ended June 30, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Beneficial interests in joint venture operations Rental revenue $1,746,864 $ 1,684,068 $ 3,472,360 $ 3,308,630 Cost of operations 1,034,407 852,879 2,171,511 1,949,223 712,457 831,189 1,300,849 1,359,407 Interest income 14,114 6,080 14,772 12,515 Interest expense (436,132) (441,643) (872,948) (884,867) Depreciation (107,067) (120,899) (212,577) (241,759) Amortization (12,707) (12,408) (23,209) (24,814) Net income $ 170,665 $ 262,319 $ 206,887 $ 220,482 Outlook The following three paragraphs contain forward-looking statements and are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which are based only on current judgments and current knowledge. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that the Company's forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation risks of a lessening of demand for the apartments owned by the Company, changes in government regulations affecting the Government-Assisted Properties, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments. Approximately 52% of the Company's multifamily properties are located in the greater Cleveland/Akron, Ohio area which is the fourteenth largest consumer market in the United States containing over four million people within a 50 mile radius of Akron. In central Ohio, Columbus is the only city in the northeast quadrant of the country that has experienced continuous population growth since 1970, according to Census Bureau data. Columbus, Ohio was selected by the E & Y Kenneth Leventhal Real Estate Group as one of the 12 best investment markets in the country because of its well-diversified economic base, strong rental growth and lower vacancy rates. The Company's Michigan portfolio is located in ten separate markets having a combined projected population growth of approximately 4.2%, or 153,000 people, with a projected 8.5% increase in job growth or an additional 17,000 jobs. With an average economic occupancy for the Core Portfolio Market-rate Properties at 93%, and strong market fundamentals, it would appear that opportunities exist for increasing the rate of rental growth at the Company's Market-rate Properties. The Company anticipates that rental revenues will increase between two to three percent in 1998 when compared to 1997. The 1998 rental revenue increase objective should be achieved through a combination of rent and occupancy increases. Markets like Columbus and Indianapolis, where there is an abundance of undeveloped land suitable for development, will continue to be sensitive to the impact of new multifamily housing starts. Some of these new starts, particularly those in proximity to the Company's properties, may have a short-term effect on occupancies. The Company believes that its 1998 rental revenue growth objectives are reasonable given the geographic diversity of the Company's Core Portfolio Market-rate Properties. The Company expects that building and grounds repair and maintenance expenditures for the Core Portfolio Properties will increase when compared to the prior year as the Company continues to maintain its properties to maximize their earnings potential. Real estate tax increases should begin to moderate as the effect of the reassessed values diminishes over time. Utility expenditures will vary over prior periods as the effect of weather related usage variances is factored into the level of utility expense. 24 Inflation Substantially all of the Market-rate residential leases at the properties 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 terms up to two years. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effect of inflation. Year 2000 Compliance The Year 2000 compliance issue concerns the inability of computerized information systems to accurately calculate; store or use a date after December 31, 1999. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations. The Year 2000 compliance issue affects virtually all companies and all organizations. The Company has conducted an assessment of its core internal and external computer information management systems, installed Year 2000 compliant financial reporting and accounting systems and is taking the further necessary steps to understand the nature and extent of the work required to make its operational systems, in those situations where the Company is required to do so, Year 2000 compliant. These steps may require the Company to modify, upgrade or replace some of its internal operational systems. The total cost of bringing all internal operational systems and equipment into Year 2000 compliance has not been fully quantified. Further, no estimates can be made as to any potential adverse impact resulting from the failure of third-party service providers and vendors to prepare for the Year 2000. The Company is attempting to identify those risks as well as to receive compliance certifications from those third party that have a material impact on the Company's operations. The cost and timing of third party Year 2000 compliance is not within the Company's control and no assurance can be given with respect to the cost or timing of such efforts or the potential effects of any failure to comply. Contingencies There are no recorded amounts resulting from environmental liabilities as there are no known contingencies with respect thereto. Future claims for environmental liabilities are not measurable given the uncertainties surrounding whether there exists a basis for any such claims to be asserted and, if so, whether any claims will, in fact, be asserted. Furthermore, no condition is known to exist that would give rise to a liability for site restoration, post closure and monitoring commitments, or other costs that may be incurred with respect to the sale or disposal of a property. Phase I environmental audits have been completed on all of the Company's wholly owned and joint venture properties. The Company has obtained environmental insurance covering (i) pre-existing contamination, (ii) on-going third party contamination, (iii) third party bodily injury and (iv) remediation. The policy is for a five year term and carries a limit of liability of $2 million per environmental contamination discovery (with a $50,000 deductible) and has a $10 million policy term aggregate. Management has no plans to abandon any of the properties and is unaware of any other material loss contingencies. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") notified the Company that Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Inc., (the Company's subsidiary corporation that owns Rainbow Terrace Apartments) is in default under the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Housing Assistance Payments Contract ("HAP Contract") pertaining to this property. Among other matters, HUD alleges that the property is poorly managed and Rainbow Terrace Apartments has failed to complete certain physical improvements to the property. Moreover, HUD claims that the property is not in compliance with numerous technical regulations concerning whether certain expenses are properly chargeable to the property. As provided in the Regulatory Agreement and HAP Contract, in the event of a default, HUD has the right to exercise various remedies including terminating future payments under the HAP Contract and foreclosing the government-insured mortgage encumbering the property. 25 This controversy arose out of a Comprehensive Management Review of the property initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997, which included a complete physical inspection of the property. Rainbow Terrace Apartments believes that it has corrected the management deficiencies cited by HUD in the Comprehensive Management Review (other than the completion of certain physical improvements to the property) and, in a series of written responses to HUD, justified the expenditures questioned by HUD as being properly chargeable to the property in accordance with HUD's regulations. Moreover, Rainbow Terrace Apartments believes it has repaired any physical deficiencies noted by HUD in its Comprehensive Management Review that might pose a threat to the life and safety of its residents. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the controversy with HUD, but does not believe it will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In June 1998, HUD notified the Company that all future Housing Assistance Payments ("HAP") for Rainbow Terrace Apartments were abated and instructed the lender to accelerate the balance due under the mortgage. Subsequent to the notification of HAP abatements and the acceleration of the mortgage, the lender advised the Company that the acceleration notification had been rescinded at HUD's instruction. HUD then notified the Company that the HAP payments would be reinstated and that HUD was reviewing further information concerning Rainbow Terrace Apartments provided by the Company. The Company has since received the July and August 1998 HAP payments for Rainbow Terrace Apartments. As part of the Company's ongoing discussions with HUD concerning the resolution of these matters, the Company has been notified that HUD has agreed to review the budget based rent increase submitted to HUD by the Company in 1995. At December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998, the Company had receivables of $1.35 million related to these retroactive rent increase requests. At June 30, 1998, Rainbow Terrace Apartments had net assets of $2.4 million, including the retroactive rent receivable of $1.35 million due from HUD, and a remaining amount due under the mortgage of $1.9 million. In the normal course of business, the Company advances funds on behalf of, or holds funds for the benefit of affiliates which own real estate properties managed by the Company or one of the Service Companies. One of these affiliates, a corporation (the "Corporation") owned by a member of the Company's board of directors and his siblings (including the wife of the Company's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer), which serves as general partner of certain affiliated entities, has informed the Company that the Corporation has caused the commencement of a review of expenditures relating to approximately $2.9 million of capital calls from certain HUD subsidized affiliated entities, to determine the appropriateness of such expenditures and whether certain of such expenditures are properly the responsibility of the Company. Should this review result in any dispute with respect to the foregoing expenditures, such disagreement will be resolved through binding arbitration. The Company believes that all expenditures were appropriate and, accordingly, does not believe that the ultimate outcome of any disagreement will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 27 The following tables present information concerning the Multifamily Properties owned by Associated Estates Realty Corporation.

The Company has certain rights under a security agreement to foreclose on the property to the extent that the unpaid principal and interest on the underlying notes exceed seven years equivalent principal and interest payments. (d) The property was developed in 1981 subject to a warranty deed provision which states that the assignment of fee simple title of the property to the Company shall expire in 2037. r = Rehabilitated </FN> 29 HISTORICAL FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND DISTRIBUTABLE CASH FLOW Industry analysts generally consider Funds From Operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, non-recurring and extraordinary items, plus depreciation on real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable Cash Flow is defined as FFO less capital expenditures funded by operations and loan amortization payments. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating results of the Company, FFO and Distributable Cash Flow should be presented in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("Distributable Cash Flow") for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are summarized in the following table: For the three months For the six months ended June 30, ended June 30, (In thousands) 1998 1997 1998 1997 Net income applicable to common shares $ 3,588 $ 5,029 $ 6,742 $ 8,884 Depreciation on real estate assets Wholly owned properties 5,300 4,212 10,225 8,284 Joint venture properties 107 121 213 242 Extraordinary item 125 (1,043) 125 (1,043) Funds From Operations 9,120 8,319 17,305 16,367 Depreciation - other assets 224 151 416 244 Amortization of deferred financing fees 196 179 400 353 Fixed asset additions (97) (117) (165) (231) Fixed asset additions - joint venture properties - - - - Distributable Cash Flow $ 9,443 $ 8,532 $ 17,956 $16,733 Weighted average shares 17,133 15,321 17,103 15,321 30 PART II OTHER INFORMATION Except to the extent noted below, the items required in Part II are inapplicable or, if applicable, would be answered in the negative and have been omitted. ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS On June 30, 1998, the Company consummated the merger of MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIGRA"), the acquisition of eight multifamily properties from MIG Residential REIT, Inc. ("MIG REIT") and the acquisition of the general and certain limited partnership interests in AERC HP Advisors Limited Partnership ("HP Advisors"), which owns substantially all of a parcel of real property in Orlando, Florida upon which a multifamily apartment complex is being developed. Pursuant to the merger agreement the Company issued 396,434 Common Shares to the MIGRA shareholders in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of MIGRA. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing prices of the Common Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date the merger agreement was executed which was $23.63 per share. The MIGRA shareholders may receive additional contingent consideration in the form of Common Shares if certain performance criteria are achieved. In connection with the acquisition of the eight multifamily properties of MIG REIT, the Company issued 5,139,387 Common Shares to the subsidiaries of MIG REIT that held title to the properties. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing prices of the Common Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date the properties were acquired which was $18.69 per share. The Common Shares issued to MIG REIT are subject to a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 relating to such shares on or before August 30, 1998. The Company also issued 459,719 operating partnership interests in HP Advisors to certain limited partners of HP Advisors. The holders of the operating partnership units exchange such units for Common Shares or cash as determined by the Company. The number of shares issued was based on the average closing prices of the Common Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date the merger agreement was executed which was $23.63 per share. The Company issued securities in the transactions described in this item in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, on the basis that the securities were not issued in transactions involving a public offering. 31 ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY-HOLDERS On June 29, 1998, the Company held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

OTHER INFORMATION Shareholders who intend to submit proposals to be included in the Company's proxy materials may do so in compliance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").

For those shareholder proposals which are not submitted in accordance with Rule 14a-8, the Company's designated proxies may exercise their discretionary voting authority for any proposal received after February 9, 1999, without any discussion of the proposal in the Company's proxy materials. 32 ITEM 6.
