NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2002 and 2001 (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with the accounting policies in effect as of December 31, 2001, as
set forth in the annual consolidated financial statements of Mid-America
Apartment Communities, Inc. ("MAAC" or the "Company"), as of such date. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included and all such adjustments
were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations
for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 is not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
2. Share and Unit Information
At June 30, 2002, 17,628,760 common shares and 2,901,626 operating partnership
units were outstanding, a total of 20,530,386 shares and units. Additionally,
MAAC had outstanding options for 1,512,154 shares of common stock at June 30,
2002.
3. Segment Information
At June 30, 2002, the Company owned or had ownership interest in, and operated
122 apartment communities in 12 different states from which it derives all
significant sources of earnings and operating cash flows. The Company's
operational structure is organized on a decentralized basis, with individual
property managers having overall responsibility and authority regarding the
operations of their respective properties. Each property manager individually
monitors local and area trends in rental rates, occupancy percentages, and
operating costs. Property managers are given the on-site responsibility and
discretion to react to such trends in the best interest of the Company.
Management evaluates the performance of each individual property based on its
contribution of revenues and net operating income ("NOI"), which is composed of
property revenues less all operating costs including insurance and real estate
taxes. The Company's reportable segments are its individual properties because
each is managed separately and requires different operating strategy and
expertise based on the geographic location, community structure and quality,
population mix, and numerous other factors unique to each community.
The revenues, profits and assets for the aggregated communities are summarized
as follows (Dollars in thousands):

4. Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial
instruments to manage, or hedge, the interest rate risk associated with the
Company's variable rate debt or as hedges in anticipation of future debt
transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk associated with the
transaction.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or
trading purposes. Further, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts
with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other
factors. When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure
that the derivatives are designated to hedge, the Company has not sustained any
material loss from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse
effect on its net income or financial position in the future from the use of
derivatives.
The Company requires that hedging derivatives instruments are effective in
reducing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge. This
effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge accounting. Instruments that
meet these hedging criteria are formally designated as hedges at the inception
of the derivative contract. The Company formally documents all relationships
between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management
objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process
includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value or cash flow
hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific
firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company also formally assesses,
both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives
used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of
hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as
a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company
discontinues hedge accounting prospectively.
All of the Company's derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value
and are represented on the balance sheet were characterized as cash flow hedges.
These transactions hedge the future cash flows of debt transactions through
interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments. The
unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the
balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive
income, with any ineffective portion of the hedging transactions reclassified to
earnings. During the three months ended June 30, 2002, the ineffective portion
of the hedging transactions was not significant. Within the next twelve months,
the Company expects to reclassify to earnings an estimated $100,000 of the
current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the
ineffectiveness associated with the hedging transactions.
5. Comprehensive Income
Total comprehensive income and its components for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001 were as follows (Dollars in thousands):

6. Goodwill and Intangible Assets - Adoption of Statement 142
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board ("FASB") issued Statement
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142), which requires
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to no longer be
amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance
with the provisions of the Statement. Statement 142 also requires intangible
assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over the respective estimated
useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets.
The Company adopted Statement 142 as of January 1, 2002 and has since completed
the process of evaluating its goodwill balances to determine if any impairment
exists. To accomplish this, the Company identified its reporting units and
determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the Company's
assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets,
to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company then calculated
the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to the carrying
amount of each reporting unit.
The Company's testwork indicated no impairment of goodwill for its reporting
units.
The Company will continue to test reporting unit goodwill for potential
impairment on an annual basis in the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner
if a goodwill impairment indicator is identified.
As of the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount
of $5.8 million, all of which was subject to the transition provisions of
Statement 142.
Statement 142 requires disclosure of what net income would have been in all
periods presented exclusive of amortization expense recognized in those periods
related to goodwill. Below is a reconciliation of reported net income to
adjusted net income and earnings per share (Dollars in thousands, except
earnings per share):

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and
results of operations of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this report. These financial statements
include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and
all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
The total number of apartment units the Company owned or had an ownership
interest in, including the 10 properties containing 2,793 apartment units owned
by its 33.33% unconsolidated BRE/MAAC Associates, LLC joint venture, at June 30,
2002 was 33,459 in 122 communities compared to 33,778 units in 124 communities
owned at June 30, 2001. The average monthly rental per apartment unit for the
Company's non-development, 100% owned apartment units increased to $660 at June
30, 2002 from $650 at June 30, 2001. Occupancy for these same apartment units at
June 30, 2002 and 2001 was 94.9% and 94.3%, respectively.
In June 2002, the Company formed a joint venture with Crow Holdings named
Mid-America/CH Realty Limited Partnership. The joint venture is expected to
acquire approximately $150 million of multifamily properties. The Company will
provide acquisition, redevelopment and property management services to
Mid-America/CH Realty Limited Partnership and will own a 33.33% interest in the
partnership. At June 30, 2002 there were no properties owned by the
Mid-America/CH Realty Limited Partnership joint venture.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from operations ("FFO") represents net income (computed in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or
"GAAP") excluding extraordinary items, minority interest in Operating
Partnership income, gain or loss on disposition of real estate assets, plus
depreciation related to real estate, and adjustments for the Joint Venture to
reflect FFO on the same basis. This definition of FFO is in accordance with the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's ("NAREIT") recommended
definition.
The Company's policy is to expense the cost of interior painting, vinyl
flooring, and blinds as incurred for stabilized properties. During the
stabilization period for acquisition properties, these items are capitalized as
part of the total repositioning program of newly acquired properties, and, thus
are not deducted in calculating FFO.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP
measurement of performance, as an indicator of operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as
a measure of liquidity. The Company believes that FFO is helpful in
understanding the Company's results of operations in that such calculation
reflects the Company's ability to support interest payments and general
operating expenses before the impact of certain activities such as changes in
other assets and accounts payable. The Company's calculation of FFO may differ
from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and,
accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Depreciation expense
includes approximately $556,000 and $325,000 for the six months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively, which relates to computer software, office
furniture and fixtures and other assets found in other industries and which is
required to be recognized, for purposes of computing FFO.
FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 is calculated as
follows (in thousands):

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
JUNE 30, 2001
Property revenues for 2002 decreased by approximately $761,000 due to decreases
of (i) $942,000 from the sale of the Advantages and Canyon Creek apartments in
2001 (the "2001 Dispositions"), and (ii) $494,000 from the communities held
throughout both periods. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in
property revenues of $675,000 from the communities in development that were in
lease-up (the "Development Communities").
Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building
repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping
and other property related costs. Property operating expenses for 2002 increased
by approximately $283,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $201,000 from the
Development Communities, and (ii) $437,000 from the communities held throughout
both periods. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating
expense of $355,000 from the 2001 Dispositions.
Property management expenses decreased approximately $215,000 over the same
period last year mainly related to decreases in bonuses. General and
administrative expenses remained relatively flat over the first quarter of last
year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $553,000
primarily due to the increases of (i) $127,000 from the Development Communities,
and (ii) $597,000 from the communities held throughout both periods. These
increases were partially offset by the depreciation and amortization expense
decrease of $171,000 from the 2001 Dispositions.
Interest expense over the three months ended June 30, 2001, decreased by
approximately $1,481,000 as refinancings of debt in 2001 and the drop in
variable rates since June 30, 2001, decreased the Company's average interest
rate from 6.8% at June 30, 2001 to 6.2% at June 30, 2002.
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE
30, 2001
Property revenues for 2002 decreased by approximately $1,383,000 due to
decreases of (i) $1,863,000 from the 2001 Dispositions, and (ii) $1,004,000 from
the communities held throughout both periods. These decreases were partially
offset by an increase in property revenues of $1,484,000 from the Development
Communities.
Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building
repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping
and other property related costs. Property operating expenses for 2002 increased
by approximately $668,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $385,000 from the
Development Communities, and (ii) $950,000 from the communities held throughout
both periods. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in operating
expense of $667,000 from the 2001 Dispositions.
Property management expenses decreased approximately $332,000 over the same
period last year mainly related to decreases in certain health benefits and
bonuses. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat over the
first half of last year.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $1,065,000
primarily due to the increases of (i) $426,000 from the Development Communities,
and (ii) $965,000 from the communities held throughout both periods. These
increases were partially offset by the depreciation and amortization expense
decrease of $326,000 from the 2001 Dispositions.
Interest expense over the six months ended June 30, 2001, decreased by
approximately $2,578,000 as refinancings of debt in 2001 and the drop in
variable rates since June 30, 2001, decreased the Company's average interest
rate from 6.8% at June 30, 2001 to 6.2% at June 30, 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased to approximately
$37,380,000 for the first half of 2002 from $42,605,000 for the first half of
2001 mainly due to changes in other assets. The Company experienced a fire at
its corporate headquarters on March 3, 2002. Included in other assets is $2.2
million of costs related to the fire which the Company expects to be fully
covered by the Company's insurance. Also included in other assets is $3.3
million representing the purchase of a plane. The Company purchased a plane in
2002 to lower the operating expense associated with the previous leasing
arrangement.
During the first six months of 2002, the Company invested $1,394,000 in
construction of new assets, reduced from $12,495,000 during the same period in
2001. With the end of construction of Reserve at Dexter Lake III in June 2002,
the Company has completed the entire $300 million development program begun in
1997.
The following table summarizes the Company's remaining communities in various
stages of lease-up, as of June 30, 2002 (Dollars in thousands):

Reserve at Dexter Lake III Memphis, TN 244 2Q 2002 2Q 2001 4Q 2002
The Company's projections assume that the four properties completed but still
under lease-up will substantially stabilize during 2002. At June 30, 2002, 1,100
of the 1,291 apartments were leased, and the Company believes that the
completion of stabilization of these properties in 2002 is highly likely. The
Company does not anticipate that its liquidity will be impacted should these
properties fail to stabilize in 2002.
Capital improvements to existing properties during the first half of 2002 and
2001 totaled $7,987,000 and $8,973,000, respectively. Actual capital
expenditures are summarized below (Dollars in thousands):

Net cash used in financing activities decreased from approximately $26,732,000
for the first six months ended June 30, 2001 to approximately $24,209,000 during
the same period in 2002. During the first half of 2002 the Company increased its
credit lines by $16,020,000 as compared to $2,274,000 in the first half of 2001.
During the first half of 2001, the Company used a net of $2,878,000 to
repurchase shares of its common stock. No shares were repurchased during the
first half of 2002.
At June 30, 2002, the Company had $302,739,000 outstanding of a secured credit
facility with Prudential Mortgage Capital, credit-enhanced by FNMA ("FNMA
Facility"), which matures in 2009. The FNMA Facility provides for both fixed and
variable rate borrowings, and at June 30, 2002 was fully drawn under the terms
of the borrowing base calculations in effect. The interest rate on the variable
portion renews every 90 days and is based on the FNMA Discount Mortgage Backed
Security ("DMBS") rate on the date of renewal, which has typically approximated
three-month Libor less an average spread of 0.09%, plus a credit enhancement fee
of 0.67% based on the outstanding borrowings. The variable interest rate at June
30, 2002 was 2.51%. Fixed rate borrowings under the FNMA Facility totaled $110
million at June 30, 2002, at interest rates (inclusive of credit-enhancement
fees) from 5.77% to 7.71%, and maturities from 2006 to 2009.
Compass Bank provides an unsecured credit facility to the Company. There was $10
million outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2002.
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its current and future interest
rate risk. The Company has $100 million of interest rate swaps outstanding of
three-month Libor fixed leg and $25 million of interest rate swaps outstanding
of one-month Libor fixed leg, with expirations between 2003 and 2007, and which
have to date proven to be highly effective hedges of the Company's variable rate
debt. Through the use of these swaps the Company believes it has effectively
fixed the rate during these periods of $125 million of variable rate borrowings
issued through the FNMA Facility, leaving only $67,739,000 of the FNMA Facility
of which the interest rate has not been hedged. The Company has also issued a
$16,990,000 swap of the BMA Municipal index, expiring in June, 2008, effectively
fixing the interest rate of the Tax-Free Bond Facility at 5.15% through this
period, which is a highly effective hedge. In 2001, the Company executed two $25
million notional amount forward interest rate swaps of three-month Libor fixed
leg: a two-year swap effective March 2003, and a four-year swap effective
September, 2003. In June 2002, the Company executed an additional $25 million
notional amount forward interest rate swap of three-month Libor fixed leg. The
instrument is a four-year swap effective April 2003. The swaps are intended to
reduce the interest rate risk of future planned refinancings.
The weighted average interest rate and the weighted average maturity at June 30,
2002, for the $788.1 million of debt outstanding were 6.2% and 9.5 years,
compared to 6.8% and 10.4 years at June 30, 2001.
The Company has one individual mortgage maturing for $9.2 million in the third
quarter of 2002. The Company is in the process of finalizing the refinancing of
this mortgage with an expanded FNMA Facility.
In 2003, the Company has debt maturities approximating $154 million, which it
anticipates will be funded by replacement debt issued at comparable interest
rates. There is both interest rate and financing risk associated with these
refinancings; however, the Company believes it to be extremely unlikely that
there will be a refinancing problem due to the large amount of collateral
available to support the amount of debt. In the highly unlikely event of a
complete collapse of the debt markets, the Company could be faced with liquidity
concerns.
Beginning in December 2003, with six months' notice, the holder of the Series E
Preferred, (totaling $25 million), has the option of redeeming all or part of
the shares for cash or an equivalent value in the Company's common stock (at the
Company's option). The Company anticipates that the Series E Preferred will not
be redeemed for common stock, and plans to maintain credit facilities and
balance sheet capacity sufficient to redeem the entire series for cash should
the opportunity for repurchase be presented.
The Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund both its current
operations, regular annual refurbishment of its properties, and incremental
investment in new apartment properties. The Company believes that the income
from the full lease-up and stabilization of its development properties and its
growth of same-store NOI will create greater asset values, which enables it to
increase its borrowing capacity while lowering or maintaining its loan to value
ratio. The Company is relying on the efficient operation of the financial
markets to finance debt maturities, and also is heavily reliant on the
creditworthiness of FNMA, which provides credit enhancement for over $300
million of the Company's debt. The market for FNMA DMBS, which in the Company's
experience is highly effective with three-month Libor fixed leg, is also an
important component of the Company's liquidity and swap effectiveness. In the
event that these markets became less efficient, or the credit of FNMA became
impaired, the Company would seek alternative sources of debt financing.
The Company believes that cash provided by operations is adequate and
anticipates that it will continue to be adequate in both the short and long-term
to meet operating requirements (including recurring capital expenditures at the
communities) and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT
requirements under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company has loan covenants
that limit the total amount of distributions, but believes that it is unlikely
that these will be a limiting factor on the Company's future levels of
distributions. The Company expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements,
such as scheduled mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, preferred
stock redemptions, expansions, and non-recurring capital expenditures, through
long and medium term collateralized fixed rate borrowings, issuance of debt,
potential joint venture transactions and the Company's credit facilities.
At June 30, 2002 and 2001, the Company did not have any relationships with
unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often
referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have
been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements
or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. The Company's joint venture
with Blackstone Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC was established in order to sell
assets to fund development while acquiring management fees to help offset the
reduction in revenues from the sale. In addition, the Company does not engage in
trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, the Company
is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk
that could arise if it had engaged in such relationships. The Company does not
have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive
benefits from their non-independent relationships with the Company or its
related parties other than what is disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 11 in the
Company's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
INSURANCE
The Company put in place a new insurance program effective July 1, 2002. The
program is substantially the same as last year, but includes greater retention
levels for liability and workers' compensation insurance. The Company was unable
to obtain a reasonable quote for coverage against acts of terrorism for the
policy renewal, but will continue to monitor changes in the market. In the
opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is in place that provides
adequate coverage to provide financial protection against normal insurable risks
such that it believes that any loss experienced would not have a significant
impact on the Company's liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
INFLATION
Substantially all of the resident leases at the communities allow, at the time
of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable
the Company to seek rent increases. The substantial majority of these leases are
for one year or less. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to
reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effects of inflation.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations
(Statement 141), and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
(Statement 142). Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting
be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as
all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001.
Statement 141 also specifies criteria intangible assets acquired in a purchase
method business combination must meet to be recognized and reported apart from
goodwill, noting that any purchase price allocable to an assembled workforce may
not be accounted for separately. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but
instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the
provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets
with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful
lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in
accordance with Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets (Statement 144).
The Company adopted the provisions of Statement 141 as of July 1, 2001, except
with regard to business combinations initiated prior to July 1, 2001. The
Company adopted the provisions of Statement 142 effective January 1, 2002.
Furthermore, goodwill and intangible assets determined to have an indefinite
useful life acquired in a purchase business combination completed after June 30,
2001, but before Statement 142 is adopted in full will not be amortized, but
will continue to be evaluated for impairment in accordance with the appropriate
pre-Statement 142 accounting literature.
Statement 141 requires upon adoption of Statement 142, that the Company evaluate
its existing intangible assets and goodwill that were acquired in a prior
purchase business combination, and to make any necessary reclassifications in
order to conform with the new criteria in Statement 141 for recognition apart
from goodwill. Upon adoption of Statement 142, the Company will be required to
reassess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets acquired,
and make any necessary amortization period adjustments by the end of the first
interim period after adoption. In addition, to the extent an intangible asset is
identified as having an indefinite useful life, the Company will be required to
test the intangible asset for impairment in accordance with the provisions of
Statement 142 within the first interim period. Any impairment loss will be
measured as of the date of adoption and recognized as the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle in the first interim period.
As of the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill of
approximately $5,800,000, which will be subject to the transition provisions of
Statements 141 and 142. The Company ceased amortizing goodwill as of January 1,
2002. The amortization expense related to goodwill for the six months ended June
30, 2001 was $132,000.
The Company adopted Statement 142 as of January 1, 2002 and has since completed
the process of evaluating its goodwill balances to determine if any impairment
exists. To accomplish this, the Company identified its reporting units and
determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the Company's
assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets,
to those reporting units as of the date of adoption. The Company then calculated
the estimated fair value of each reporting unit and compared it to the carrying
amount of each reporting unit.
The Company's testwork indicated no impairment of goodwill for its reporting
units.
The Company will continue to test reporting unit goodwill for potential
impairment on an annual basis in the Company's fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner
if a goodwill impairment indicator is identified.
In August 2001, FASB issued Statement 144 which supersedes both FASB Statement
No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of (Statement 121) and the accounting and reporting
provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting
the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual
and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions (Opinion 30), for the
disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion).
Statement 144 retains the fundamental provisions in Statement 121 for
recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use
and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also resolving
significant implementation issues associated with Statement 121. For example,
Statement 144 provides guidance on how a long-lived asset that is used as part
of a group should be evaluated for impairment, establishes criteria for when a
long-lived asset is held for sale, and prescribes the accounting for a
long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale. Statement 144
retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 on how to present discontinued
operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a
component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business). Unlike Statement
121, an impairment assessment under Statement 144 will not result in a
write-down of goodwill. Rather, goodwill is evaluated for impairment under
Statement 142.
The Company adopted Statement 144 effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of
Statement 144 for long-lived assets held for use did not have a material impact
on the Company's financial statements because the impairment assessment under
Statement 144 is largely unchanged from Statement 121.
In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements
No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No.13, and Technical Corrections
(Statement 145). The rescission of Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses
from Extinguishment of Debt and Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt made
to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements eliminates an exception to general practice
relating to the determination of whether certain items should be classified as
extraordinary and is effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002,
with earlier implementation encouraged. The amendment of Statement No. 13,
Accounting for Leases affects the accounting by the lessee for certain lease
modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions
and Intangible Assets for Motor Carriers removes a no longer relevant standard
from the authoritative literature. The rescission of Statement No. 44 and all
other provisions of Statement 145 are effective for financial statements issued
on or after May 15, 2002. The impact of adopting Statement 145 is not expected
to be material.
In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities (Statement 146). Statement 146 requires all
companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when
they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal
plan. Statement 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal
activities after December 31, 2002. The impact of adopting Statement 146 is not
expected to be material.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by
the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include, but are not limited
to, statements about anticipated growth rate of revenues and expenses,
anticipated lease-up (and rental concessions) at development properties, planned
asset dispositions, disposition pricing, and planned acquisition and
developments. Actual results and the timing of certain events could differ
materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking
statements due to a number of factors, including a continued downturn in general
economic conditions or the capital markets, competitive factors including
overbuilding or other supply/demand imbalances in some or all of our markets,
changes in interest rates, and other items that are difficult to control such as
insurance rates, increases in real estate taxes, and other general risks
inherent in the apartment business. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward-looking statements included in this report on Form 10-Q will prove
to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the
forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information
should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person
that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.
