MAAC owns, directly or through its subsidiaries, all of the outstanding units of
Partnership  interest.  MAAC is a  self-administered  and self-managed  umbrella
partnership  real estate  investment  trust (REIT).  MAAC conducts a substantial
portion of its  operation  through  MAALP and  subsidiaries  of MAALP.  The sole
general  partner of the  Partnership  is MAACP,  Inc.,  a Tennessee  corporation
(MAACP), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MAAC. The term of the Partnership shall be
to December 31, 2020, unless  terminated  earlier as provided in the Partnership
Agreement or as otherwise provided by law.

2.       Financing Transactions

On March 6, 1998 the Partnership issued $142 million aggregate  principal amount
of 6.376% Bonds due 2003 (the Bonds).  The Bonds are secured by a first priority
deed of trust,  security agreement and assignment of rents and leases in respect
of the  Mortgaged  Properties.  The net proceeds from the sale of the Bonds were
applied to the bridge notes payable and utilized to fund costs of the offering.

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  Bonds  issuance  discussed  above,  the
Partnership  entered into four  separate  interest  rate  contracts in 1997 with
notional amounts  aggregating $140 million,  the effect of which was to lock the
interest rate on $140 million of the Bonds at an average interest rate of 6.62%.
On March 6, 1998 the  Partnership  realized a $1.4 million  realized loss on the
interest  rate  contracts.  The realized loss  resulting  from the change in the
market value of these  contracts is being  amortized into interest  expense over
the life of the related debt issuance.


6.        Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging
Activity," was issued  effective for years  beginning  after June 15, 1999. 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 2000.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The  following  is a  discussion  of the  financial  condition  and  results  of
operations of the  Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1998 and the  combined  financial  condition  and results of  operations  of the
Partnership  for the  three and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997.  This
discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements included
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 owned at September 30, 1998 was 5,949 in 26
apartment  communities,  compared to 4,804 in 20  communities  at September  30,
1997.  Average  monthly rental per apartment unit increased to $569 at September
30,  1998  from $546 at  September  30,  1997.  Overall  occupancy  was 94.6% at
September 30, 1998 and 96.4% at September 30, 1997.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
TO THE PREDECESSOR'S THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Total  revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1998  increased by
approximately  $2,070,000 due primarily to (i) approximately $1,655,000 from the
communities acquired in 1997and (ii) approximately $415,000 from the communities
owned throughout both periods.

Property  operating  expenses  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1998
increased by approximately  $924,000 due primarily to (i) approximately $670,000
from the communities  acquired in 1997 and (ii) approximately  $254,000 from the
communities owned throughout both periods.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased  approximately  $756,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same period a year earlier
primarily due to (i)  depreciation  expense of  approximately  $340,000 from the
communities  acquired  in  1997,  (ii)  depreciation  expense  of  approximately
$183,000  from  the  communities  owned  throughout  both  periods,   and  (iii)
approximately  $233,000 of  additional  amortization  expense  for the  deferred
financing  costs  incurred on the March 6, 1998 offering of  $142,000,000  bonds
payable (the "First Mortgage Bonds").

Interest  expense  increased  approximately  $2,268,000  during the three months
ended September,  1998 compared to the same period a year earlier  primarily due
to the  issuance  of the  First  Mortgage  Bonds.  No debt  was  carried  on the
properties  during the quarter ended  September 30, 1997.  The borrowing cost of
the Partnership First Mortgage Bonds was 6.62% at September 30, 1998.


COMPARISON OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
TO THE PREDECESSOR'S NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997

Total  revenues  for the nine  months  ended  September  30, 1998  increased  by
approximately  $6,672,000 due primarily to (i) approximately $5,289,000 from the
communities  acquired  in  1997  and  (ii)  approximately  $1,383,000  from  the
communities owned throughout both periods.

Property  operating  expenses  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1998
increased  by  approximately  $2,674,000  due  primarily  to  (i)  approximately
$1,991,000 from the communities acquired in 1997 and (ii) approximately $683,000
from the communities owned throughout both periods.


Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $2,348,000 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1998 compared to the same period a year earlier
primarily due to (i)  depreciation  expense of  approximately  $979,000 from the
communities  acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately  $625,000 from the communities
owned throughout both periods,  and (iii)  approximately  $744,000 of additional
amortization  expense for the deferred  financing costs incurred on the March 6,
1998 offering of $142,000,000 bonds payable (the "First Mortgage Bonds").

Interest expense increased approximately $6,170,000 during the nine months ended
September,  1998 compared to the same period a year earlier primarily due to the
issuance of the First  Mortgage  Bonds.  The borrowing  cost of the  Partnership
First Mortgage Bonds was 6.62% at September 30, 1998.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow  provided  by  operating  activities  decreased  by  approximately
$2,114,000  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1998.  The decrease in net
cash flow was primarily due to a decrease in net income,  mainly  related to the
additional  interest  costs of the First  Mortgage  Bonds,  which was  partially
offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization.

Net  cash  flow  used  in  investing   activities   decreased  by  approximately
$19,787,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1998 from  approximately
$22,755,000  for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1997.  This  decrease is
mainly due to the purchase of two properties by the Predecessor during the first
quarter  of 1997,  Howell  Commons  and  Westside  Creek  I,  for  approximately
$19,064,000.  There were no property  acquisitions  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1998.

Net  cash  flow  used  in  financing   activities   increased  by  approximately
$18,814,000  during the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The principal uses
of cash from financing activities were approximately  $140,000,000 for repayment
of the bridge notes payable, approximately $7,987,000 in advances to the limited
partner,  and approximately  $3,613,000 for additional  deferred financing costs
related to the issuance of  $142,000,000  Bonds payable.  During the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 the Predecessor received capital contributions totaling
$25,674,000  used  primarily to acquire the  properties  mentioned  above and to
settle the outstanding  mortgages relating to the two properties.  There were no
capital  contributions  or property  acquisitions  during the nine months  ended
September 30, 1998.

The  Partnership  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).


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  Partnership'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 Partnership 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 Partnership of the adverse effects of inflation.

YEAR 2000

The Company has  conducted a review of its  computer  operating  systems and has
identified  those  areas that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and has
developed a plan to resolve this issue.  The Company  believes that by modifying
certain  existing  hardware and software and, in other cases,  converting to new
application  systems,  the Year 2000 problem can be resolved without significant
operational  difficulties.  The Company has initiated formal communications with
all of its significant  suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company's
interface  systems are vulnerable to those third  parties'  failure to remediate
their own Year 2000 issues.  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  issue as the costs are
incurred.

The Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
Operations  contains certain  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of
