BUSINESS THE COMPANY Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is a Memphis, Tennessee-based self-administered and self-managed umbrella partnership real estate investment trust, ("REIT") ("UPREIT") which owns and operates 115 apartment communities containing 30,912 apartment units in 13 states (the "Communities"), has 2,660 apartment units under construction in 7 new communities and 5 additions to existing communities, and a further 804 apartment units in various stages of development. The Company has entered into definitive agreements to acquire three additional apartment communities containing 624 apartment units, of which negotiations are still in progress. Founded in 1977 by George E. Cates, the Company's Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, the Company's predecessor grew from an operator of a single 252-unit apartment community in Memphis, Tennessee into a fully-integrated owner and operator of 5,580 apartment units in 22 apartment communities in four southeastern states immediately prior to the Company's initial public offering in February 1994 (the "Initial Offering"). Since the Initial Offering, the Company's portfolio has increased by 93 apartment communities containing 25,332 apartment units, including 1) 12 apartment communities containing 3,212 apartment units acquired in the Company's merger with America First REIT, Inc. ("AFR") in June 1995 (the "AFR Merger") for an aggregate value of approximately $111 million (as measured by Common Stock issued and AFR debt assumed) and 2) 30 apartment communities containing 7,691 apartments acquired in the company's merger with Flournoy Development Company and related partnerships ("FDC") on November 25, 1997 (the "FDC Merger") for an aggregate value of $423 million. The FDC Merger resulted in the establishment of Flournoy Service Corporation ("FSC"), the name of which was later changed to Flournoy Development Corporation, of which the Company owns 100% of the non- voting common stock, specifically to own and operate the third-party construction, brokerage and management activities formerly conducted by FDC. At least 95% of the after tax cash flow after intercompany interest expense of this subsidiary is distributed to Mid-America Apartments, L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership") through its ownership of the non-voting common stock in FSC, with the 5% balance to the owners of FSC's common stock, consisting of Mr. Cates and John F. Flournoy, the Vice-Chairman of the Company. FSC did not make a distribution to Messrs. Cates and Flournoy in 1997 and does not currently anticipate a distribution in 1998. The operations of FSC include the management of 43 properties with 4,971 apartment units owned by third party investors, and the development and construction of properties for third parties. The Company believes that this structure is permitted under the terms of the Internal Revenue Code and also provides the most economic benefit to its shareholders. The Company's business is conducted principally through the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, holding, as of December 31, 1997, 181,844 Common Units or a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company's wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary, MAC II of Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a limited partner in the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 1997, held 15,736,248 Common Units, or 81.1% of all outstanding Common Units. In connection with the formation of the Operating Partnership and the Initial Offering, the Operating Partnership issued 2,460,413 Common Units to the former owners of Communities contributed to the Operating Partnership. The Common Units held by such former owners are redeemable by the holders, at their option, for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Company's option, for cash. The Company has filed a shelf registration statement relating to the offer and sale of the Common Units by the holders thereof. As of December 31, 1997, such former owners held 2,384,097 Common Units. In subsequent transactions and acquisitions of properties, including in the FDC Merger, an additional 553,205 Common Units have been issued, resulting in a total of 2,937,302 Common Units being owned by outside investors. Certain Communities are owned by limited partnerships of which the Operating Partnership and the Company or a wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiary are the only partners. The Company, directly or through seven wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, owns 19 Communities. The Company also has established Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P., a single-purpose entity formed in 1997 to own 26 apartment communities containing 5,947 apartment units, of which the Operating Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest and the Company, through a subsidiary, owns a 1% General Partnership interest OPERATING PHILOSOPHY MID-SIZE MARKET FOCUS. The Company focuses on owning, operating, developing, constructing and acquiring apartment communities in mid- size southeastern and Texas cities. The Company believes that these markets generally have been less susceptible to apartment overbuilding during past real estate investment cycles, and the Company believes that apartment communities in these markets offer attractive long-term investment returns. The Company seeks to develop and acquire apartment communities in its existing markets and selected new markets where it believes there is less competition for acquisitions or new construction from other well-capitalized buyers. The Company believes it can acquire apartment units at a significant discount to estimated replacement cost in these markets and through its experience construct and develop apartments at a reasonable investment cost to generate higher returns on investment than is available in large metropolitan areas. INTENSIVE MANAGEMENT FOCUS. The Company strongly emphasizes on-site property management. Particular attention is paid to opportunities to increase rents, raise average occupancy rates, and control costs, with property managers being given the responsibility for monitoring market trends and the discretion to react to such trends. DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Management's experience is that maintaining a consistently high level of customer satisfaction leads to greater demand for the Company's apartment units, higher occupancy and rental rates, and increased long-term profitability. The Company, as part of its intense management focus, has implemented a practice of having highly trained property managers and service technicians on-site at each of the Communities. Management undertakes frequent resident surveys and focus groups, in order to measure customer satisfaction. DECENTRALIZED OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE. The Company's operational structure is organized on a geographic basis. The Company's property managers have overall operating responsibility for their specific Communities. Property managers report to area managers or regional managers who, in turn, are accountable to the Company's President. Management believes that its decentralized operating structure capitalizes on specific market knowledge, increases personal accountability relative to a centralized structure and is beneficial in the acquisition, redevelopment and development process. GROWTH STRATEGIES The Company seeks to increase earnings per share and operating cash flow to maximize shareholder value through a balanced strategy of internal and external growth. INTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY. Management's goal is to maximize its return on investment in each Community by increasing rental rates and reducing operating expenses while maintaining high occupancy levels. The Company (i) seeks higher net rental revenues by enhancing and maintaining the competitiveness of the Communities and (ii) manages expenses through its system of detailed management reporting and accountability in order to achieve increases in operating cash flow. The steps taken to meet these objectives include: * empowering the Company's property managers to adjust rents in response to local market conditions and to concentrate resident turnover in peak rental demand months; * implementing programs to control expenses through investment in cost- saving initiatives, such as the installation of individual apartment unit water and utility meters in certain Communities; * ensuring that, through monthly inspections of all Communities by senior management and prompt attention to maintenance and recurring capital needs, the Communities are properly maintained; * improving the "curb appeal" of the Communities through extensive landscaping and exterior improvements and repositioning Communities from time to time to maintain market leadership positions; * investing heavily in training programs for its property-level personnel; * compensating all employees through performance-based compensation programs and stock ownership programs; and * maintaining a hands-on management style and "flat" organizational structure that emphasizes senior management's continued close contact with the market and employees. EXTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY. The Company's external growth strategy is to acquire and develop additional apartment units and, when apartment communities no longer meet the Company's long-term strategic objectives or investment return goals, to dispose of those Communities. Through the Company's umbrella partnership REIT ("UPREIT") structure, the Company has the ability to acquire apartment communities through the issuance of UPREIT Units in tax- deferred exchanges with owners of such properties. Since the Initial Offering, the Company has grown by 25,332 apartment units, an increase of approximately 454% over the number of apartment units immediately prior to the Initial Offering. Typical attributes of apartment communities which the Company seeks to acquire are: * well-constructed properties having attractive locations, potential for increases in rental rates and occupancy, potential for reductions in operating costs and acquisition prices below estimated replacement cost; * properties with opportunities for internal growth through (i) market repositioning by means of property upgrades which typically include landscaping, selective refurbishing and the addition of amenities and (ii) realizing economies of scale in management and purchasing; and * properties located in the Company's existing markets and mid-size southeastern and Texas metropolitan areas having favorable market characteristics. The Company develops new apartments when it believes it can achieve an attractive return on investment substantially above the rate of return of acquisitions. In November the Company acquired, through the FDC Merger, Flournoy Development Company, a builder and developer of multifamily apartments with 30 years of experience owning, managing, developing and building apartments. As a result of this merger, the Company has significantly expanded its commitment to new development. The Company has established higher investment return criteria for new development than it maintains for acquisitions and generally expects that its new development program will generate higher stabilized returns on investment than most acquisition opportunities. Since the Initial Offering, the Company has completed the following development projects: * 122 apartment units constructed at the Woods of Post House in Jackson, Tennessee in close proximity to three other Communities; * 24 additional apartment units at the Reflection Pointe apartment community in Jackson, Mississippi; and * 32 additional apartment units at the Park Haywood apartment community in Greenville, South Carolina. In 1997, the Company substantially completed construction of a 234- unit expansion of the 384-unit Lincoln on the Green apartment community at the Tournament Players' Club at Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. The development of expansion for Lincoln on the Green was managed successfully and began by Flournoy Development Company prior to the merger with the Company. The Company currently has a development pipeline of 3,466 apartments that are in various stages of construction and development, of which 1,690 are anticipated to be completed in 1998. It is likely that additional opportunities will be identified for development in late 1998 and 1999. COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS. During 1997, the Company acquired the following apartment communities (the "Completed Acquisitions") containing an aggregate of 3,314 apartment units (dollars in millions): NUMBER OF DATE OF CONTRACT PROPERTY MARKET UNITS ACQUISITION PRICE (1) - ---------------- ---------------- ------ ----------- ---------- Howell Commons Greenville, SC 348 1/15/97 $ 13.0 Balcones Woods Austin, TX 384 3/18/97 15.8 Westside Creek I Little Rock, AR 142 3/28/97 6.1 Fairways at Hartland Bowling Green, KY 240 3/31/97 10.4 Woodhollow Jacksonville, FL 450 4/10/97 16.7 The Woods Austin, TX 278 4/15/97 10.0 Hunters' Ridge Jacksonville, FL 336 5/29/97 15.2 Austin Chase Macon, GA 256 8/5/97 14.0 Westside Creek II Little Rock, AR 166 9/24/97 6.5 Woodwinds Aiken, SC 144 9/30/97 5.0 Hermitage at Beechtree Cary, NC 194 11/3/97 8.9 Sterling Ridge Augusta, GA 192 11/13/97 7.7 Colony at South Park Aiken, SC 184 11/25/97 7.5 ----- ------- Total 3,314 $ 136.8 ===== ======= (1) Excluding additional customary closing costs, including expenses and commissions. COMPETITION All of the Company's Communities are located in developed areas that include other apartment communities. Occupancy and rental rates are affected by the number of competitive apartment communities in a particular area. The Company's properties compete with numerous other multifamily properties, the owners of which may have greater resources than the Company and whose management may have more experience than the Company's management. Moreover, single-family rental housing, manufactured housing, condominiums and the new and existing home market provide housing alternatives to potential residents of apartment communities. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS RECENT ACQUISITIONS Since December 31, 1997, the Company has acquired the following apartment communities (the "Recent Acquisitions") containing an aggregate of 392 apartment units (dollars in millions): NUMBER ACQUISITION CONTRACT PROPERTY MARKET OF UNITS DATE PRICE - ---------- -------------- -------- ----------- -------- Walden Run McDonough, GA 240 2/5/98 $ 13.4 Van Mark Huntsville, AL 152 2/26/98 5.1 -------- -------- Total 392 $ 18.5 ======== ======== The Company funded the cash required to consummate the Recent Acquisitions with borrowings under the Company's bank line of credit. PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS The Company has entered into definitive agreements to purchase the 200-unit Eagle Ridge apartments in Birmingham, Alabama, the 204- unit Village Apartments at Carrollwood in Tampa, Florida and the 220-unit Georgetown Grove Apartments in Savannah, Georgia. The Company plans to fund the cash required to consummate the Proposed Acquisitions with issuance of Umbrella Partnership units, borrowings under the Credit Line and assumption of existing mortgages. There are remaining issues to negotiate on these contracts and there can be no assurance that these acquisitions will close. DEVELOPMENT The Company's Board of Directors has approved the development of three apartment communities totaling 702 units located in Montgomery, Alabama, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Panama City, Florida; the Board has also approved the development of a 124-unit addition to the Company's St Augustine property in Jacksonville, Florida. The total estimated cost of these projects is $50.5 million to be invested in 1998 and 1999. The Company has a total of 1,762 apartments in pre-development or in- depth feasibility review. If all these are developed, together with the 1,070 apartments under construction and the 634 apartments under construction and lease-up, the total planned investment in new development in 1998 is $118 million, with an additional $70 million to complete the projects in 1999. The Company has several additional projects in earlier stages of feasibility study, and it anticipates that the additional apartment communities will be approved for development later in 1998 which will require additional funding in 1999. DISTRIBUTION INCREASE In January 1998, the Company raised its quarterly distribution to common shareholders from $.535 per share to $.55 per share, effective with its distribution paid on January 30, 1998. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company seeks to acquire and develop apartment communities appealing to middle and upper income residents in mid-size cities in the southeastern United States and Texas. Approximately 71% of the Company's apartment units are located in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, and Texas markets. The Company's strategic focus is to provide its residents high quality apartment units in attractive community settings, characterized by extensive landscaping and attention to aesthetic detail. The Company utilizes its experience and expertise in maintenance, landscaping, marketing and management to effectively "reposition" many of the apartment communities it acquires to raise occupancy levels and per unit average rentals. The average age of the Communities at December 31, 1997 was 12.2 years.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Common Stock has been listed and traded on the NYSE under the symbol "MAA" since the Initial Offering in February 1994. On March 13, 1998, the reported last sale price of the Company's common stock on the NYSE was $28.13 per share and there were approximately 1,640 holders of record of the Common Stock. The Company estimates there are approximately 16,000 beneficial owners of the Common Stock. The following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE and the distributions declared by the Company with respect to the periods indicated. Sales Prices ---------------- Dividends High Low Declared --------- --------- --------- 1996: ----- First Quarter $ 26.875 $ 24.00 $ .51 Second Quarter 26.625 25.00 .51 Third Quarter 25.875 23.75 .51 Fourth Quarter 28.875 24.625 .535 1997: ----- First Quarter $ 29.750 $ 27.625 .535 Second Quarter 28.875 25.00 .535 Third Quarter 30.500 26.625 .535 Fourth Quarter 30.063 26.625 .55 The Company's current annual distribution rate with respect to the Common Stock is $2.20 per share. The actual distributions made by the Company will be affected by a number of factors, including the gross revenues received from the Communities, the operating expenses of the Company, the interest expense incurred on borrowings and unanticipated capital expenditures. The Company pays a preferential regular monthly distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock issued in October 1996 and the Series B Preferred Stock issued in November 1997 at an annual rate of $2.375 per share and $2.21875 per share, respectively. No distribution may be made on the Common Stock unless all accrued distributions have been made with respect to the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain its distribution rate on its Common Stock or make required distributions with respect to the Series A or Series B Preferred Stock. In 1997, the Company implemented the DRSPP under which holders of Common Stock (and Series A and Series B Preferred Stock) may elect automatically to reinvest their distributions in additional shares of Common Stock and/or to make optional purchases of Common Stock free of brokerage commissions and charges. Shares purchased directly from the Company will be purchased at up to a 3% discount from their fair market value at the Company's discretion. To fulfill its obligations under the DRSPP, the Company may either issue additional shares of Common Stock or repurchase Common Stock in the open market. Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the actual funds available for distribution of the Company, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

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 years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995. This discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds from operations ("FFO") represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding extraordinary items, minority interest in Operating Partnership income, gain or loss on disposition of real estate assets, and certain non-cash items, primarily depreciation and amortization, less preferred stock dividends. The Company computes FFO in accordance with NAREIT's current definition, which eliminates amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets as items added back to net income when computing FFO. The Company adopted this method of calculating FFO effective as of the NAREIT-suggested adoption date of January 1, 1996. 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 flows 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 cash flow from operating activities and 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. For the year ended December 31, 1997, FFO increased by approximately $8,102,000 or 22%, when compared to the year ended December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to an approximate $27,233,000 increase in revenues, which was partially offset by increases in expenses mainly associated with the increase in the number of apartment units owned by the Company. On a per share basis, FFO increased approximately 3% from $2.66 per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 to $2.73 per share for the same period in 1997. For the year ended December 31, 1996, FFO increased by approximately $6,809,000 or 23.7%, when compared to the year earlier (adjusted only for the new NAREIT definition of FFO). The increase was primarily attributable to an approximate $16,919,000 increase in revenues, which was partially offset by increases in expenses mainly associated with the increase in the number of apartment units owned by the Company. On a per share basis, FFO increased 8.6% from $2.44 per share (restated for the effect of adoption of the current NAREIT FFO definition and the change in accounting policy) for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $2.65 per share for the same period in 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 During the 1997 period, the Company acquired 12 communities containing 3,314 apartment units. In addition, through the November 25, 1997 merger with Flournoy Development Company ("FDC"), the Company acquired 32 communities containing 8,641 apartment units including 950 apartment units under development. The total number of apartment units owned at December 31, 1997 was 30,468 in 115 apartment communities, compared to 19,280 in 73 communities at December 31, 1996. Average monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $549 at December 31, 1997 from $529 at December 31, 1996 for the Company's properties owned prior to the merger. For the communities owned prior to the merger, average occupancy for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was 94.5% and 95.4%, respectively. For the properties acquired through the FDC Merger, average monthly rental per apartment unit was $613 and average occupancy was 92.2% at December 31, 1997. Total revenues for 1997 increased by approximately $27,234,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $12,743,000 from the 12 Communities acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $5,342,000 from the 30 completed Communities acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii) approximately $6,759,000 from a full years operation of the six Communities acquired in 1996, (iii) approximately $2,113,000 from the Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately $277,000 from The Woods at Post House in Jackson, Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995 and Lincoln on the Green phase II in Memphis, Tennessee which completed development early 1998. Property operating expenses for 1997 increased by approximately $9,834,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $4,929,000 from the 12 Communities acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $1,938,000 from the 30 completed Communities acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii) approximately $2,298,000 from a full years operation of the six Communities acquired in 1996, (iii) approximately $583,000 from the Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately $86,000 from The Woods at Post House which completed development in the Fall of 1995 and Lincoln on the Green phase II. Utility costs decreased from 5.5% of revenue to 4.6% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier, due primarily to over 13,000 units now submetered for water usage and continued benefits from the 1996 completion of the individual apartment unit electricity metering at Sailwinds at Lake Magdalene. General and administrative expense increased $448,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996 and decreased from 5.5% of revenue to 4.8% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier. The reductions result from $122,000 transfer of landscape overhead to property costs, $156,000 reduced state and local taxes and increased operating efficiencies of a larger operation. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to (i) approximately $2,503,000 from the 12 Communities acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $1,247,000 from the 30 completed Communities acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii) approximately $1,493,000 from a full years operation of the six Communities acquired in 1996, (iii) approximately $1,224,000 from additional capital expenditures on Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately $54,000 from The Woods at Post House and Lincoln on the Green phase II. Amortization of deferred financing costs and unamortized costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired for 1997 were approximately $888,000 and approximately $309,000, respectively. Interest expense increased approximately $3,177,000 during 1997 due primarily to apartment acquisitions. The Company reduced its average borrowing cost to 7.41% at December 31, 1997 as compared to 7.92% on December 31, 1996. The average maturity on the Company's debt was 10.2 and 9.9 years at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In 1997, the Company recorded an approximate $8,622,000 loss on early extinguishment of debt, net of minority interest, primarily from the repayment of certain debt in connection with the FDC Merger. Income before minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1997 increased approximately $5,069,000 over the same period a year earlier. COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 During the 1996 period, the Company acquired six apartment communities and sold three apartment communities. The total number of apartment units owned at December 31, 1996 was 19,280 in 73 apartment communities, compared to 18,219 in 70 communities at December 31, 1995. Average monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $529 at December 31, 1996 from $508 at December 30, 1995. Average occupancy for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 95.4% and 95.2%, respectively. Total revenues for 1996 increased by approximately $16,919,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $4,833,000 from the six Communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $7,156,000 from a full years operation of the 15 Communities acquired in 1995, including the Communities acquired in the AFR Merger, (iii) approximately $4,363,000 from the Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately $567,000 from The Woods at Post House in Jackson, Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995. Property operating expenses for 1996 increased by approximately $4,616,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $1,686,000 from the six Communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $2,746,000 from a full year's operations of the 15 Communities acquired in 1995, including the Communities acquired in the AFR Merger, and (iii) approximately $234,000 from The Woods at Post House. These increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $51,000 from the Communities owned throughout both periods. Repair and maintenance expense decreased primarily due to the Company's change in the capitalization policy to conform with policies currently used by the majority of the largest apartment REITs. Utility costs decreased from 6.1% of revenue to 5.5% of revenue for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period a year earlier, due primarily to the installation of 6,400 individual apartment unit water meters and the completion of the individual apartment unit electricity metering at Sailwinds at Lake Magdalene. General and administrative expense increased in 1996 approximately $1,303,000 primarily due to the opening of the new training center and other expenses due to the continued growth of the company. Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to (i) approximately $893,000 from the six apartment communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $1,346,000 from the 15 apartment communities acquired in 1995, including the Communities acquired in the AFR Merger, (iii) approximately $2,187,000 from additional capital expenditures on Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately $443,000 from The Woods at Post House in Jackson, Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995. Amortization of deferred financing costs and unamortized costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired for 1996 were approximately $661,000 and approximately $192,000, respectively. Interest expense increased approximately $3,082,000 during 1996 due primarily to apartment acquisitions. The Company reduced the average borrowing cost to 7.92% at December 31, 1996 as compared to 8.15% on December 31, 1995. The average maturity on the Company's debt was 9.9 years at both December 31, 1996 and 1995. In 1996, the Company recorded an approximate $2,185,000 gain for the disposition of three apartment communities. The dispositions were structured as tax-deferred exchanges for federal tax purposes. As a result of the foregoing, income before minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased approximately $5,166,000 over the same period a year earlier. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Net cash provided by operating activities increased from approximately $38,018,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately $44,797,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase in net cash flow was primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization less an extraordinary loss recorded due to the early extinguishment of certain debt. Net cash used in investing activities increased from approximately $70,436,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately $138,263,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 3,314 apartment units in 1997 for approximately $76,287,000 as compared to the acquisition of 1,760 apartment units in 1996 for approximately $66,258,000. This increase in net cash flow used in investing activities was partially offset by the sale of three apartment communities in 1996 for approximately $17,096,000. Capital improvements to existing properties totaled approximately $20,205,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997, compared to approximately $18,437,000 for the same period in 1996. Of the $20,205,000 capital improvements approximately $7,743,000 was for recurring capital expenditures, including carpet and appliances, approximately $6,112,000 was for revenue enhancing projects, approximately $5,557,000 was for acquisition capital with the remaining balance for other miscellaneous expenditures, including corporate. Recurring capital expenditures averaged $0.47 per share in 1997. Construction in progress for new apartment units increased from approximately $2,837,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately $16,093,000 for the comparable period in 1997, due primarily to the completion of the 234-unit development at Lincoln on the Green in Memphis, Tennessee which began leasing during 1997 and other developments including $1,685,000 for the 254-unit Reserve at Dexter Lake, $1,273,000 for the 288-unit Mandarin, $879,000 for the 154- unit phase II addition for Whisperwood Spa and $789,000 for the 316- unit Terraces at Fieldstone. Net cash provided by financing activities increased from approximately $33,425,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately $104,218,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. During 1997, approximately $202,320,000 was provided by borrowings under the Credit Line and notes payable and approximately $46,635,000 was provided from the issuance of preferred shares. The principal uses of the cash included approximately $30,021,000 for the repayment of notes payable and approximately $39,771,000 for dividends and distributions. At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $45,225,000 outstanding on the Credit Line. At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $63,200,000 (including the Credit Line) of floating rate debt at an average interest rate of 6.5%; all other debt was fixed rate term debt at an average interest rate of 7.8%. The weighted average interest rate and weighted average maturity at December 31, 1997 for the approximately $632,213,000 of notes payable were 7.4% and 10.2 years, respectively. The Company used the approximately $46,635,000 of net proceeds from the Preferred Stock Offering, which closed in November, for the acquisitions of the 192- unit Sterling Ridge apartment community in Augusta, Georgia and the 184-unit Colony at South Park apartment community in Aiken, South Carolina and used the balance to reduce the amount outstanding on the Credit Line. In November 1997, the Company increased its credit limit under the Credit Line from $90,000,000 to $110,000,000 and in March 1998 increased the credit limit to $200,000,000. The Company expects to use the Credit Line for future acquisitions, development, and to provide letters of credit as credit enhancements for tax- exempt bonds. In March 1997 the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds from such offering were approximately $62.5 million, all of which were contributed to the Operating Partnership and utilized to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Line. The Credit Line is secured and is subject to borrowing base calculations that effectively reduce the maximum amount that may be borrowed under the Credit Line to approximately $44,300,000 as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 Code. During 1997, capital expenditures were approximately $20,205,000 for property improvements and $16,093,000 for the development of new units. For 1998, the Company plans approximately $27,000,000 for property improvements and $120,000,000 for development of new units. The Company expects to meet its long term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, expansions and non- recurring capital expenditures, through long and medium-term collateralized and uncollateralized fixed rate borrowings, issuance of debt or additional equity securities in the Company and the Credit Line. INSURANCE In the opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is in place which 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. YEAR 2000 The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming code in existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000) approaches. The "Year 2000" issue is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way by the rollover of the two digit year value to 00. The issue is whether computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or cause a system to fail. The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test the systems for the Year 2000 compliance. During 1997, the Company developed a plan to deal with the Year 2000 issue. Management has conducted a comprehensive review of the Company's computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and has developed an implementation plan to resolve potential issues. The Company has reviewed our core mainframe systems and application subsystems and have obtained the Year 2000 compliant releases and are developing the installation and testing plan for each of these applications. The Company has corresponded with our third party service providers and other providers of software and hardware for certification of their compliance with Year 2000 issues. It is anticipated that all reprogramming efforts will be completed by December 31, 1998, allowing adequate time for testing. Management has assessed the Year 2000 compliance expense and believe that the related potential effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations should be immaterial. The Company is expensing all costs associated with the Year 2000 as the costs are incurred. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The 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 the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including plans and objectives relating to capital expenditures and rehabilitation costs on the apartment communities. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K 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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS On July 23, 1997, the Company acquired its corporate headquarters for $2,912,000. In connection with the acquisition, the Company formed a special committee of its external directors to negotiate the transaction on its behalf because certain executive officers of the Company were also partners in the partnership which owned the building. The consideration consisted of approximately $862,000 cash, 22,246 Operating Partnership Units valued at $634,000 ($28.50 per unit) and the assumption of an existing loan. Certain executive officers of the Company were partners in the partnership who owned the building and received 5,831 units of common shares connected with the exchange. All transactions involving related parties must be approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors. The Company has, and expects to have, transactions in the ordinary course of its business with directors and officers of the Company and their affiliates, including members of their families or corporations, partnerships or other organizations in which such officers or directors have a controlling interest, on substantially the same terms (including price, or interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with unrelated parties.

Mason Hawkins Director Independent Auditors' Report The Board of Directors and Shareholders Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mid- America Apartment Communities, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financials statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of the Company at December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of the Company's operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its accounting method to capitalize replacement purchases for major appliances and carpet in 1996. /s/ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Memphis, Tennessee March 27, 1998 Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.

Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Formation of the Company Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is a self- administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust which owns, develops, acquires and operates multifamily apartment communities in the southeastern United States and Texas. The Company owns and operates 115 apartment communities principally through its majority owned subsidiary, Mid-America Apartments, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiary, Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. ("MACP"). MACP is a recently formed special purpose entity established to issue first mortgage bonds. In addition to owning and operating apartment communities, the Company conducts third party property management and construction and development activities through its service corporation, Flournoy Development Corporation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and other subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Minority Interest Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership by the holders of Class A Common Units of the Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Net income is allocated to the Minority Interests based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership as described below. Issuance of additional Common Shares or Operating Partnership Units changes the ownership of both the Minority Interests and the Company. Such transactions and the proceeds therefrom are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between shareholders' equity and Minority Interests to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership. The Company's Board established economic rights in respect of each unit of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership that were equivalent to the economic rights in respect of each share of common stock. Each unit is redeemable at the option of the holder thereof in exchange for one share of common stock. The Operating Partnership has followed the policy of paying the same per unit distribution in respect of the units as the per share distribution in respect of the common stock. Prior to 1997, the Operating Partnership agreement provided for the allocation of additional net income to the holders of Class A units that would otherwise be the net income of the Company or another entity. Effective January 1, 1997 the Operating Partnership agreement was amended to eliminate the additional allocation of income to the unitholders. Operating Partnership net income for 1997 was allocated approximately 17.9% to holders of Class A Common Units and 82.1% to the Company. Use of Estimates Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Revenue Recognition The Company leases residential apartments under operating leases with terms of one year or less. Rental and other revenues are recorded when earned. In addition to leasing the owned Communities, the Company provides property management services for affiliated Section 42 Housing Tax Credit multifamily properties ("Section 42") and conventional properties. Property management revenue is recorded on the accrual method of accounting as earned. The Company receives development and construction fees related to the development of the affiliated Section 42 properties. Development and construction income is recognized as earned as the property is developed and certain operating and financing performance conditions are met. Development income is not recognized to the extent that requirements exist to invest a portion of such development fees in the partnership entities from which the fees are earned. Construction contract revenues, which are presented net of construction contract costs in the accompanying statements of operations, are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, the percentage of contract revenue to be recognized currently is computed based upon that percentage of estimated total revenue that incurred costs to date bear to total estimated costs, after giving effect to the most recent estimates of costs to complete. Revisions in cost and revenue estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts, which require the revision, become known. When revised cost estimates indicate a loss on an individual contract, the total estimated loss is provided for currently in its entirety without regard to the percentage of completion. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash, investments in money market accounts and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for property taxes, insurance, debt service and replacement reserves. Real Estate Assets and Depreciation Real estate assets are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or net realizable value. Interest, property taxes, and other development costs incurred during construction is capitalized until completion. Interest of $388,000 and $91,000 was capitalized in 1997 and 1996, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized. The cost of interior painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds are expensed as incurred. In conjunction with acquisitions of properties, the Company's policy is to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to complete any deferred maintenance items to bring the properties to the required standard, including the cost of replacement appliances, carpet, interior painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds. These costs are capitalized. Following a review of its capital expenditure and depreciation policy, effective January 1, 1996, the Company implemented a new policy of which the primary changes were (i) to increase minimum dollar amounts to capitalize from $500 to $1,000; (ii) for stabilized properties (generally, properties owned and operated by the Company for at least one year), to capitalize replacement purchases for major appliances and carpeting of an entire apartment unit which was previously expensed; and (iii) to reduce the depreciation life of certain assets from 20 years to 10 to 15 years. The Company believes that the newly adopted accounting policy is preferable because it is consistent with policies currently being used by the majority of the largest apartment REITs and provides a better matching of expenses with the estimated benefit period. The Company's 1995 financial statements were not restated for the effect of the change in accounting policy. The policy has been implemented prospectively effective January 1, 1996. The effect of the change in depreciable lives was not material to consolidated net income of the Company. Depreciation is computed on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from 8 to 40 years for land improvements and buildings and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment. Depreciation expense includes $195,000, $155,000 and $104,000 in 1997, 1996 and 1995 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 funds from operations computations, as expenses in the calculation of net income. The Company periodically evaluates its real estate assets for impairment based upon undiscounted cash flows and measures impairment based on fair value. This determination is dependent primarily on the Company's estimates on occupancy, rent and expense increases, which involves numerous assumptions and judgments as to future events over a period of many years. At December 31, 1997 the Company does not hold any assets which meet the impairment criteria. Real Estate Held for Development or Sale Real estate held for development or sale, which consists primarily of sites intended for future multifamily developments, is stated at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value. The cost includes the purchase price of the land, construction, and development costs and fees, as well as capitalized interest and loan fees. Deferred Costs and Intangibles Organization costs are amortized using the straight line method over 60 months. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt using a method which approximates the interest method. Unamortized cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired is amortized using the straight line method over a range of 8 to 30 years. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued, effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. This new accounting statement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will adopt this accounting standard in 1998. Also in June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information," was issued, effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires companies to identify segments consistent with the manner in which management makes decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their performance. Disclosures for the newly identified segments are similar to those required under current standards, with the addition of certain quarterly disclosure requirements. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company will adopt this accounting standard in 1998. Reclassification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on shareholders' equity or net income available for common shareholders. 2. Business Combinations On November 25, 1997, the Company completed the merger with Flournoy Development Company and related entities ("FDC") (the "FDC Merger") accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Total consideration consisted of $88,271,000, including 1,550,311 shares of common stock and 412,110 Operating Partnership units in Mid-America Apartments, L.P., valued at $56,213,000 ($28.6875 per share and unit), $29,608,000 cash and transaction costs of approximately $2,450,000. The Company may also issue additional shares of Common Stock (the "Contingent Value Shares") having a value of up to $7,500,000 if certain agreed upon conditions are satisfied during calendar years 1998, 1999 and 2000. When and if issued, the Contingent Value Shares will be recorded as additional purchase consideration based upon the fair value of the Common Stock at the date of issuance. The operating results of FDC are included in the accompanying statement of operations commencing November 25, 1997. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the merger were recorded at their respective fair values as follows: Fair value of assets acquired, primarily real estate assets $ 411,397,000 Liabilities assumed 335,326,000 --------------- Net assets acquired $ 76,071,000 =============== The following unaudited summarized pro forma consolidated financial information has been prepared as if the FDC Merger, various other insignificant acquisitions ( 13 in 1997 and 6 in 1996) and dispositions (3 in 1996) of properties during the periods presented and various financing transaction entered into in connection with the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. In management's opinion, the summarized pro forma consolidated financial information does not purport to present what actual results would have been had the above transactions occurred on January 1, 1996, or to project results for any future period. The amounts presented for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are in thousands except for share amounts (unaudited): 1997 1996 --------- --------- Total Revenues $ 195,748 $ 188,290 Net income before extraordinary item $ 22,104 $ 23,160 Extraordinary item, net of minority interest (7,866) - Dividends on preferred shares (9,052) (9,052) --------- --------- Net income available for common shareholders $ 5,186 $ 14,108 ========= ========= Per common share amounts: - ------------------------- Basic net income before extraordinary item $ 0.71 $ 0.76 per common share Basic net income available per common share $ 0.28 $ 0.76 On June 29, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of America First REIT, Inc. and America First REIT Advisory Company ("AFR") accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company exchanged 2,331,000 shares of its common stock, valued at $57,749,000, for all of the capital stock of AFR. The operating results of AFR are included in the accompanying statement of operations commencing July 1, 1995. The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as follows: Fair value of assets acquired, primarily real estate assets $ 109,999,000 Liabilities assumed 52,250,000 ------------- Net assets acquired $ 57,749,000 ============= 3. Borrowings During 1997, the Company entered into a new $110 million line of credit agreement (the "Credit Line") which expires in November 1999. The Credit Line is secured by certain of the properties, bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.25% (7.07% at December 31, 1997), and has various restrictive financial covenants. At December 31, 1997, $45.2 million was outstanding under the Credit Line. At December 31, 1996, $30.4 million was outstanding under a $90 million line of credit, which was replaced by the Credit Line. At December 31, 1997 MACP had indebtedness of $140 million to Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. pursuant to a short-term promissory note (the MSMC Loan). The 26 Communities, with a net book value of $213.6 million at December 31, 1997, owned by MACP are pledged to secure the MSMC Loan. The MSMC Loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.00% (6.72% at December 31, 1997). The MSMC Loan was repaid subsequent to December 31, 1997. See note 11. The Company has approximately $447.0 million and $284.8 million at December 31, 1997 and 1996 under various mortgage notes payable. These notes are secured by real estate assets and certain restricted cash accounts. As of December 31, 1997, the Company estimated that the weighted average interest rate on the Company's debt was 7.41% with an average maturity of 10.2 years. These estimates consider the effect of the MSMC Loan repayment discussed in note 11. During 1997, the Company extinguished a bond note, resulting in an extraordinary loss of $771,000. At consummation of the merger with FDC, the Company repaid certain debt primarily attributable to FDC, resulting in an extraordinary loss of $7,851,000, net of minority interest. The following tables summarize the Company's indebtedness at December 31, 1997. The tables are prepared as if the issuance of the commercial mortgage pass-through certificates and repayment of the MSMC Loan which occurred in 1998 (see note 11) had occurred at December 31, 1997: At December 31, 1997 ----------------------------------- Actual Average Interest Interest Rates Rate Maturity 1997 1996 (dollars in millions) Fixed Rate: Taxable 6.50 - 10.625% 8.06% 1998 - 2037 $ 479.0 $ 212.7 Tax-exempt 5.75 - 8.75% 6.36% 2008 - 2028 90.0 55.3 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 569.0 $ 268.0 Variable Rate: Taxable 7.07 - 7.22% 6.88% 1998 - 2009 $ 46.6 $ 30.4 Tax-exempt 5.50 - 5.75% 5.56% 2025 - 2027 16.6 16.8 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 63.2 $ 47.2 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 632.2 $ 315.2 ====================================================================== Year Amortization Balloon Payments Total - --------- ------------ ---------------- ----- (dollars in thousands) 1998 $ 4,146 $ 18,564 $ 22,710 1999 4,299 90,339 94,638 2000 4,088 4,525 8,613 2001 4,191 54,256 58,447 2002 4,373 11,233 15,606 Thereafter 178,147 154,052 332,199 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 199,244 $ 432,969 $ 632,213 - ------------------------------------------------------------------- The Company's indebtedness includes various restrictive financial covenants. The Company believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 1997. 4. Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments Cash and cash equivalents, rental receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities and security deposits are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value. Fixed rate notes payable at December 31, 1997 and 1996 total $569.0 million and $268.0 million, respectively, and reasonably approximates the estimated fair value (excluding prepayment penalties) based upon interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. These notes were subject to prepayment penalties, in the event of repayment prior to maturity. The carrying value of variable rate notes payable at December 31, 1997 and 1996 total $63.2 million and $47.2 million, respectively, and reasonably approximates their fair value. Included in these variable rate notes are certain Multifamily Housing Renewal bonds with rates which are less than the prime lending rates at December 31, 1997 and 1996. Approximately $16.6 million in 1997 and $16.8 million in 1996 of these mortgages are non-taxable and have lower rates than would be expected for taxable notes with similar terms. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. 5. Commitments and Contingencies The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance and none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company incurred lease expense relating to a five year aircraft lease agreement for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 of $187,000, $185,400, and $185,400, respectively. 6. Income Taxes No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company has made an election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes 95% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meets certain other tests relating to the number of shareholders, types of assets and allocable income. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to the Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain Federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to Federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income. Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily because of differences in depreciable lives, bases of certain assets and liabilities and in the timing of recognition of earnings upon disposition of properties. For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of cash distributions paid on the common shares in 1996 and 1995 and the estimated taxability for 1997: 1997 1996 1995 ------ ------ ------ Per common share Ordinary income $ 1.16 $ 1.50 $ 1.45 Capital gains - .02 - Return of capital 0.98 .52 .55 ---------------------------- Total $ 2.14 $ 2.04 $ 2.00 ============================ 7. Shareholders' Equity Series A Preferred Stock Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") has a $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a preferential cummulative annual distribution of $2.375 per share, payable monthly. The Company issued 2,000,000 Series A Preferred share in October 1996 and received net proceeds of $47.8 million. Series B Preferred Stock Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") has a $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a preferential cummulative annual distribution of $2.21875 per share, payable monthly. In November 1997 the Company issued 1,938,830 Series B shares and received net proceeds of $46.7 million. Common Stock Offerings In March 1997 the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock and received net proceeds of $62.5 million. In October 1997 the Company issued 3,499,000 shares of Common Stock and received net proceeds of $98.2 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the offerings to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan In January 1997, the Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRSPP") pursuant to which the Company's shareholders will be permitted to acquire shares of Common Stock through the reinvestment of distributions on Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and through optional cash payments from shareholders. The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission the offer and sale of up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the DRSPP. During 1997, 24,785 shares of Common Stock were acquired by shareholders pursuant to the DRSPP. Earnings Per Share and Dividend Data The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. All prior period EPS data has been restated to conform with the provisions of this statement. The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the shares resulting from the assumed exercise of all outstanding options using the treasury stock method. The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995. 1997 1996 1995 ---- ---- ---- Basic: - ------ Net income before preferred dividends and extraordinary item $ 19,849 $ 14,260 $ 9,810 Dividends on preferred shares (5,252) (990) - ---------------------------- Net income available for common shareholders before extraordinary item $ 14,597 $ 13,270 $ 9,810 Extraordinary item (8,622) - - ---------------------------- Net income available for common shareholders $ 5,975 $ 13,720 $ 9,810 ============================ Average common shares outstanding 13,892 10,938 9,772 Basic earnings per share: - ------------------------- Net income available per common share before extraordinary item $ 1.05 $ 1.21 $ 1.00 Extraordinary item (0.62) - - ---------------------------- Net income available per common share $ 0.43 $ 1.21 $ 1.00 ============================ Diluted: - -------- Net income before preferred dividends and extraordinary item $ 19,849 $ 14,260 $ 9,810 Dividends on preferred shares (5,252) (990) - ---------------------------- Net income available for common shareholders before extraordinary item $ 14,597 $ 13,270 $ 9,810 Extraordinary item (8,622) - - ---------------------------- Net income available for common shareholders $ 5,975 $ 13,270 $ 9,810 ============================ Average common shares outstanding 13,892 10,938 9,772 Effect of dilutive stock options 63 45 42 ---------------------------- Average dilutive common shares outstanding 13,955 10,983 9,814 ============================ Diluted earnings per share: - --------------------------- Net income available per common share before extraordinary item $ 1.05 $ 1.21 $ 1.00 Extraordinary item (0.62) - - ---------------------------- Net income available per common share $ 0.43 $ 1.21 $ 1.00 ============================ [FN] The computation of earnings per share does not include the Contingent Value Shares which may be issued in 1998, 1999, and 2000 due to the conditions for issuance of the shares have not been satisfied. 8. Employee Benefit Plans 401 (k) Savings Plan The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan is a defined contribution plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. The Company may, but is not obligated to, make a matching contribution of $.50 for each $1.00 contributed, up to 6% of the participant's compensation. The Company's contribution to this plan was $154,300, $118,700 and $81,600 in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan The Company has adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for key employees who are not qualified for participation in the Company's 401 (k) Savings Plan. Under the terms of the plan, employees may elect to defer a percentage of their compensation and the Company matches a portion of their salary deferral. The plan is designed so that the employees' investment earnings under the non-qualified plan should be the same as the earning assets in the Company's 401 (k) Savings Plan. The Company's match to this plan in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $18,600, $23,600 and $8,600, respectively. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") provides a means for employees to purchase common stock of the Company. The board has authorized the issuance of 150,000 shares for the plan. The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee who may annually grant options to employees to purchase annually up to an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the market price of the common stock. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the ESPP purchased 2,758, 3,176 and 2,710 shares, respectively. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") which is a non-contributory stock bonus plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each employee of the Company is eligible to participate in the ESOP after attaining the age of 21 years and completing one year of service with the Company. Participants' ESOP accounts will be 100% vested after five years of continuous service, with no vesting prior to that time. The Company contributed 22,500 shares of Common Stock to the ESOP upon conclusion of the IPO. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company contributed $344,000, $276,000 and $186,000, respectively, to the ESOP which purchased an additional 11,921, 8,208 and 5,148 shares, respectively. Stock Option Plan The Company has adopted the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") to provide incentives to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and key employees. The Plan provides for the grant of options to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock ("Options") or grants of restricted shares of common stock ("Restricted Stock"). The Plan also allows the Company to grant options to purchase Operating Partnership units at the price of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day prior to issuance of the units (the "LESOP Provision"). The Plan authorizes Options to buy a total of 500,000 shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for granting Options and shares of Restricted Stock and for establishing the exercise price of Options and terms and conditions of Restricted Stock. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company amended the Plan to increase the shares authorized an increase from 500,000 to 1,000,000 and to remove the restriction on the number of options that may be issued, subject to overall plan limits. In 1997 the Company granted options to certain executives and other officers to purchase 96,000 shares of Common Stock and 110,000 Operating Partnership units pursuant to the LESOP Provision. In 1997 options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock and 110,000 Operating Partnership units were exercised and the Company advanced a portion of the purchase price of these shares and units. The employee advances mature five years from date of issuance and accrue interest, payable in arrears, at a rate of 7.0% per annum. At December 31, 1997, the outstanding principal balance on the employee advances was approximately $700,000 and is recorded in the Company's statement of shareholders' equity. The Company entered into supplemental bonus agreements with the employees which are intended to fund the payment of the advances over a five year period. Under the terms of the supplemental bonus agreements, the Company will pay cash bonuses to these employees equal to 20% of the original note balance on each anniversary date of the notes. The bonuses are limited to 15% of the aggregate purchase price of the common shares and units. A summary of changes in Options to acquire shares of Common Stock and Operating Partnership Units for the three years ended December 31, 1997 follows: Weighted Average Options Exercise Price ------- ---------------- Outstanding at December 31, 1994 235,000 20.40 Granted 33,000 25.07 Exercised (12,150) 19.75 Forfeited (8,300) 22.02 -------- Outstanding at December 31, 1995 247,550 21.00 Granted 99,000 26.50 Exercised (1,900) 19.75 Forfeited (6,000) 25.81 -------- Outstanding at December 31, 1996 338,650 22.53 Granted 416,500 29.46 Exercised (218,625) 28.17 Forfeited (13,025) 27.91 -------- Outstanding at December 31, 1997 523,500 25.40 ======== Options exercisable: December 31, 1995 34,850 $ 20.63 December 31, 1996 84,050 20.82 December 31, 1997 140,500 21.71 Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 ranged from $19.75 to $29.50. The weighted average remaining contractual life of those options is 8 years. On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", which requires either the (i) fair value of employee stock-based compensation plans be recorded as a component of compensation expense in the statement of operations as of the date of grant of awards related to such plans, or (ii) impact of such fair value on net income and earnings per share be disclosed on a pro forma basis in a footnote to financial statements for awards granted after December 15, 1994, if the accounting for such awards continues to be in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," ("APB 25"). The Company will continue such accounting under the provisions of APB 25. The pro forma effects in 1997 and 1996 to net income per common share were not considered material. 9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk The Partnership has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Partnership occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk. In anticipation of the March 6, 1998 financing transaction discussed in Note 11 "Subsequent Events (Unaudited)", the Partnership entered into four separate interest rate contracts in 1997 with notional amounts aggregating $140 million. As of December 31, 1997 the fair value of these interest rate contracts, based on broker estimates, was an unrealized loss of approximately $1.1 million ($1.4 million realized loss as of March 6, 1998). Unrealized changes in the market value of interest rate contracts are deferred until the hedged transaction is consumated and realized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value of these contacts are deferred and amortized into interest expense over the life of the related debt issuance. 10. Related Party Transaction During 1997 the Company acquired its corporate headquarters building for $2,912,000 from a partnership whose partners included certain executive officers of the Company. The consideration paid consisted of $862,000 cash, 22,246 Operating Partnership Units valued at $634,000 ($28.50 per unit) and the assumption of an existing loan. Prior to acquisition the Company leased the building from the partnership. 11. Subsequent Events (Unaudited) Declaration of Dividend The Company declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $.55 per share to be paid January 30, 1998 to holders of record on January 23, 1998. Completed Acquisitions Since December 31, 1997, the Company has acquired the following apartment communities (the "Completed Acquisitions") containing an aggregate of 392 apartment units (dollars in millions): NUMBER OF ACQUISITION CONTRACT PROPERTY MARKET UNITS DATE PRICE -------- ------ -------- ----------- -------- Walden Run McDonough, GA 240 2/5/98 $ 13.4 Van Mark Huntsville, AL 152 2/26/98 5.1 -------- -------- Total 392 $ 18.5 ======== ======== The financial statements of the completed acquisitions are not included in the audited consolidated financial statements included herein. Financing Transactions On March 6, 1998, MACP completed the sale of $142,000,000 of first mortgage bonds (the "MACP Bonds") secured by liens on 26 properties owned by MACP. The MACP Bonds were issued to Mid-America Finance, Inc., a wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiary of the Company, which deposited MACP Bonds into a grantor trust (the "Trust"). The Trust issued commercial mortgage pass-through certificates representing beneficial ownership of the MACP Bonds. The five year fixed rate non-amortizing certificates bear interest at 6.376%. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $139.2 million after payment of initial discount, underwriters' fees, costs of rate lock and other expenses. The Company used the net proceeds of the MACP Bonds to repay the MSMC Loan. On March 13, 1998, the Company issued mortgages of $36.2 million, refinancing $29.04 million of existing loans. These new mortgages are fixed at 7.00% and will amortize over 25 years and will balloon in 2005. On March 16, 1998, the Company increased its line of credit from $110 million to $200 million with terms substantially the same as before. 11.

The amounts previously reported for prior quarters during 1997 have been restated for the effect of this amendment. The effect of this amendment was to increase net income available for common shareholders approximately $315, $257 and $200 and to increase net income available per common share by $ 0.03, $ 0.02, and $ 0.02 for the first, second and third quarters of 1997.
