                                  (Unaudited)


(1)  The financial information furnished reflects all adjustments which are
     necessary for a fair presentation of financial position at March 31,
     1994 and the results of operations for the interim periods ended March
     31, 1994 and 1993.  These adjustments are of a normal and recurring
     nature.  Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that can be expected for a full year.  The accompanying
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
     financial statements and related notes appearing in the Trust's 1993
     Annual Report.

(2)  Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform
     with the current financial statement presentation.

(3)  On April 7, 1994, the Trust issued $75 million of 7 1/4% senior
     unsecured notes due April 1, 1999.  The net proceeds of $74.3 million
     were used to repay, in full, then existing bank debt and to fund
     subsequent apartment acquisitions.

(4)  At the Annual Shareholders' Meeting on May 10, 1994, the Trust's
     Shareholders voted to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock to
     100 million shares and also authorized a new class of 25 million shares
     of Preferred Stock.

(5)  At the beginning of 1994, the Trust adopted the provisions of SFAS No.
     112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". Under the new
     method of accounting, the Trust accrues the benefits when it is probable
     that such benefits will be paid and when sufficient information exists to
     make reasonable estimates of the amounts to be paid. As required by the
     Statement, prior year financial statements have not been restated to
     reflect the change in accounting method. The cumulative effect of this
     accounting change was to decrease net income by $450,000 or $.01 per share
     for the first quarter of 1994.  This change is included in the caption
     "general and administrative" expense in the Trust's income statement.

(6)  A summary of the Trust's apartment acquisitions made during the three
     months ended March 31, 1994 is as follows:
                                                                Acquisition

(7)  Subsequent to March 31, 1994, the Trust has also completed the following
     apartment acquistions:

                                                                  Acquisition

     On April 1, 1994, the Trust entered into 28 separate but related
     contracts to purchase 28 apartment communities containing 5,882 units at
     a purchase price of approximately $188 million.  The contracts provide
     for a due diligence period through June 1, 1994, during which time the
     Trust may terminate the contracts for any reason without penalty.  If,
     after completing due diligence, the Trust elects to proceed with the
          acquisition, closing will be scheduled for July, 1994.

                          Quarter Ended March 31, 1994

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND OPERATIONS

     Funds from operations is defined as income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items adjusted for certain non-cash items,
primarily real estate depreciation.  The Trust considers funds from
operations in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance
and believes that funds from operations should be considered along with, but
not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the
Trust's operating performance and liquidity.  Funds from operations does not
represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is not 
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     For the first quarter of 1994, the Trust reported increases over the
comparable 1993 quarter in rental income, income from property operations,
net income, and funds from operations.  First quarter 1994 rental income was
$26.7 million compared to $20.2 million in  first quarter 1993, an increase
of $6.5 million or 32.3%.  Income from property operations excluding
depreciation, increased from $12.0 million to $15.3 million, an increase of
$3.3 million or 27.6%.  Net income for the current quarter totaled $3.4
million which was $826,000, or 31.9%, greater than the $2.6 million reported
in last year's first quarter.  On a per share basis, net income increased
from $.07 for the first quarter of 1993 to $.08 in the first quarter of 1994. 
Net income for the 1994 quarter includes a $450,000 charge ($.01 per share)
reflecting the Trust's implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 112,
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits".  Funds from operations
increased 33.1% from $7.3 million last year to $9.8 million in the current
year's first quarter.  

     The Trust's 1993 acquisitions made the largest contribution to the
reported increases.  The Trust's first quarter 1994 acquisitions and improved
results from its core portfolio of mature apartments and commercial
properties also had a positive impact on first quarter results.  For the
Trust's 13,832 mature apartment units (57 communities) that have been owned
since the beginning of 1993, occupancy increased 1.2% to 92.5% in the current
quarter compared to 91.3% for the first quarter last year.  Average rents at
these properties grew by 3.0% and operating expenses increased approximately
5.5%, increasing the operating expense ratio 0.3% to 44.7%.  As a result, net
operating income from these apartment units increased 4.1% or $386,000.  For
the remaining 4,730 apartment units (19 communities), acquired by the Trust
since January 1, 1993, occupancy averaged 91.1% and operating expenses at
these properties were 44.9% of revenues during the 1994 quarter. 

     For the first quarter, net operating income from commercial properties
increased 7.6%, or $141,000, from the first quarter last year, primarily
reflecting additional small tenant leases.  Average occupancy increased 1.1%
to 84.5% compared to the same quarter last year.

     During the first quarter, interest expense was approximately $742,000
higher than it was in the first quarter of 1993 ($4.7 million in 1994 versus
$3.9 million 1993) as the Trust had more debt outstanding in 1994 than in
1993.  At March 31, 1994, the Trust's total debt (mortgage and unsecured
notes payable) was $260.7 million versus $209.7 million last year.

     For the first quarter of 1994, depreciation expense increased to $5.7
million versus $4.6 million in 1993, reflecting the portfolio expansion that
has occurred during the past year.

     Management expects that the Trust's operating results for the second
quarter of 1994 will show continued improvement when compared to the
comparable period last year reflecting the continued positive impact of the
1993 and 1994 acquisitions and anticipated occupancy gains and rent growth. 
At the beginning of April, mature apartment occupancy was more than 2% higher
than it was at the beginning of the year.  Management believes that the
Trust's operating results should improve further during the next few years
for a number of factors including (i) the contribution of the large volume of
units acquired since 1991 and expected to be acquired during the remainder of
1994 and (ii) improving apartment markets as a result of anticipated
population and job growth in the Southeast and the lack of significant multi-
family construction.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     As a qualified REIT, the Trust distributes a substantial portion of its
cash flow to its shareholders in the form of dividends.  Consequently, new
acquisitions, property renovations and expansions, major capital improvements
and balloon debt payments are funded by a variety of primarily external
sources including bank borrowings, the issuance of equity and debt in public
and private transactions and, to a much lesser extent, property sales and
mortgage financings.  

     At the beginning of 1994, the Trust had approximately $5.8 million of
cash and cash equivalents and $32.4 million of available and unused bank
lines of credit.  During the first quarter, the Trust expanded its bank lines
of credit to $73.5 million, an increase of $12.5 million since December 31,
1993.  On April 7, 1994, the Trust completed a $75 million public offering of
7 1/4% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 1999.  The notes were priced at
99.833% to yield 7.29% to maturity.  The net proceeds from the debt offering
of approximately $74.3 million were utilized to repay, in full, outstanding
bank debt and to fund subsequent apartment acquisitions.

     During the first quarter of 1994, the Trust acquired two apartment
communities (648 units) at a total cost of approximately $25.8 million, all
cash.  On March 4, 1994, the Trust acquired a 302 unit garden and townhouse
community in Raleigh, North Carolina that was purchased for $13.8 million
($45,400 per unit).  On March 10, 1994, the Trust acquired a 346 unit garden
community in Tampa, Florida for $12.0 million ($34,700 per unit).  

     At the beginning of April, the Trust executed individual contracts to
purchase a group of 28 apartment communities containing 5,882 units for
approximately $188 million.  All but one of the properties are located in the
Southeast.  Approximately two-thirds of the units are located in four
markets:  Baltimore, Charlotte, and Columbia and Greenville, South Carolina. 
The Trust is currently performing the due diligence necessary to determine
whether to proceed with the acquisition.  The due diligence period runs
through June 1, 1994 during which time the Trust may terminate the contracts
for any reason without penalty.  If, after completing due diligence, the
Trust elects to proceed with the purchase, it is expected that the
transaction would close in July.  If the transaction is consummated as
planned, it is expected to have an immediate positive impact on the Trust's
operating results.

     In April, 1993, the Trust engaged outside property management for most
of its shopping centers properties following the decision to exit the
commercial property business.  Although no formal plan has been adopted,
management intends to offer the Trust's seven Richmond, Virginia shopping
centers for sale sometime during the remainder of 1994.  Management has
committed to developing alternative strategies that will enable the Trust to
dispose of most of these properties over the next few years.  

     The Trust's liquidity and capital resources are believed to be more than
adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
