The interest rate swap agreements have an aggregate notional value of $45 million under which the Company pays a fixed-rate of interest and receives a variable-rate on the notional amounts. The interest rate swap agreements effectively change the Company's interest rate exposure on $45 million from a variable-rate to a weighted average fixed-rate of approximately 7.3%. 6 5.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value ranging from approximately $77 million to $82 million which fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Company's expected unsecured variable-rate debt at approximately 6.7%. 6. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS During the first quarter of 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new statement on the calculation of earnings per share (SFAS No. 128) which is effective beginning in the 4th quarter of 1997. Early adoption is prohibited. Under the new statement, primary and fully dilutive earnings per share are replaced with basic and diluted earnings per share. The Company's basic earnings per share for the three month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 according to the new statements would not change from the reported amounts. The Company's diluted earnings per common share would be $.17 and $.13, respectively for the same periods. 7 PART I ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW The Company considers portions of this information to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. The Company is an owner and operator of primarily middle income apartment communities across the Sunbelt in 22 major markets dispersed throughout a 15 state area extending from Delaware to Nevada where it seeks to be a market leader by operating a sufficiently sized portfolio of apartments within each market. The Company believes this market diversification increases investment opportunity and decreases the risk associated with cyclical local markets. The Company's investment strategy focuses on acquiring apartment communities in its major markets where it can add value. The following table summarizes the Company's major apartment market information: Quarter Ended As of March 31,1997 March 31,1997 Number of Number of Percentage of Average Monthly Apartment Apartment Apartment Economic Rental Market Communities Homes Homes Occupancy** Rates* - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- HELD FOR INVESTMENT Dallas, TX 21 7,789 13% 93.1% $537 Columbia, SC 12 3,534 6% 89.0% 498 Raleigh, NC 11 3,316 6% 96.0% 625 Richmond, VA 10 3,253 6% 90.0% 544 Orlando, FL 9 2,816 5% 94.0% 566 Charlotte, NC 13 2,815 5% 92.4% 593 Tampa, FL 9 2,639 4% 94.5% 564 Eastern NC 10 2,530 4% 94.7% 555 Greensboro, NC 9 2,122 4% 85.1% 543 Nashville, TN 8 2,116 4% 91.5% 578 San Antonio, TX 5 1,983 3% 92.3% 614 Baltimore, MD 8 1,746 3% 92.6% 645 Greenville, SC 8 1,718 3% 85.8% 513 Washington, DC 6 1,483 3% 86.8% 677 Atlanta, GA 6 1,462 2% 88.2% 599 Hampton Roads, VA 6 1,428 2% 89.2% 552 Jacksonville, FL 3 1,157 2% 87.4% 594 Ft.

These figures exclude 1997 acquisitions. 8 ** Economic Occupancy for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1997, is defined as rental income (gross potential rent less vacancy loss, management units, move-in concessions and credit loss) divided by potential collections (gross potential rent less management units and move-in concessions) for the period, expressed as a percentage. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As a qualified REIT, the Company distributes a substantial portion of its cash flow to its shareholders in the form of quarterly distributions. The Company seeks to retain sufficient cash to cover normal operating needs, including routine replacements and to help fund additional acquisitions and development activity. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's cash flow from operating activities exceeded cash distributions paid to preferred and common shareholders by approximately $4.9 million. The Company utilizes a variety of primarily external financing sources to fund portfolio growth, major capital improvement programs and balloon debt payments. The Company's bank lines of credit generally have been used to temporarily finance these expenditures and subsequently this short-term bank debt has been replaced with longer term debt or equity. OPERATING ACTIVITIES For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's cash flow from operating activities increased approximately $5.7 million over the same period last year. This increase was primarily a result of the significant expansion of the Company's portfolio of apartment communities as discussed below and under "Results of Operations". The Company considers its cash provided by operating activities adequate to meet its operating requirements and payments of distributions to both common and preferred shareholders. INVESTING ACTIVITIES During the three months ended March 31, 1997, net cash used for investing activities was approximately $107.1 million compared to approximately $43.0 million for the same period last year. The level of investing activities primarily reflects the increased levels of the Company's acquisition, capital expenditure and development programs. ACQUISITIONS The Company expects to purchase between 7,000 and 9,000 apartment homes at an aggregate purchase price between $300 million and $400 million during 1997. The Company's strategy is to acquire apartment communities that can provide a first year weighted average return on average investment of approximately 9.75% which may vary depending on market conditions. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company acquired seven apartment communities containing 2,592 apartment homes at a total cost of $116.3 million, including closing costs. The weighted average first year return on average investment is projected by the Company to be approximately 9.8%. All of the apartment communities acquired were located in the Company's major markets. The apartment communities acquired during the quarter were as follows: 9 PURCHASE PURCHASE NAME/ NO. APT.

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company invested approximately $8.3 million in eight properties currently under development, which includes two apartment communities and six additional phases to existing apartment communities. The Company expects to spend in excess of $50 million on development activity during 1997. At various times during the first quarter of 1997, 217 apartment homes were completed and became available for occupancy, including the completion of the additional phase at Oak Park Apartments. Development activity is generally progressing on schedule and on budget. Absorption at the completed apartment homes in Charlotte, North Carolina and Dallas, Texas, has been slower than projected year to date, however, absorption has been very good at the Ft. Myers, Florida property. These additions did not have a material impact on the first quarter results of operations. Due to the increased risk associated with development, the Company requires a higher return from these investments. On average, the Company requires a 100 basis point (1.0%) higher stabilized return on investment on its development properties 10 than it does for acquisition properties. Generally, the prototype development product is believed to compete just below the top of the market. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES During the first quarter of 1997, the Company spent approximately $22.1 million on capital improvements to its apartment portfolio. The Company has a policy of capitalizing expenditures related to acquisitions and the material enhancement of the value, or the substantial extenuation of the useful life of an existing asset. Some of these capital expenditures related to an upgrade program that began in 1996 to modernize the kitchens and bathrooms at certain of the Company's older apartment communities. These upgrades are designed to enhance rent growth and add value to the apartment communities. In addition, the Company has several initiatives in place such as: (i) submetering of water and sewer to residents where local and state regulations allow the cost to be passed to the resident, (ii) gating and fencing apartment communities, (iii) installing monitoring devices such as intrusion alarms or controlled access devices, (iv) enlarging fitness centers and (v) adding business centers. Capital expenditures during 1997 are expected to be similar to 1996 levels with the Company spending approximately $400 per mature apartment home on revenue enhancing expenditures and $400 per unit on recurring capital expenditures. DISPOSITION OF INVESTMENTS SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE During the first quarter of 1997, the Company sold its investment in the preferred stock of First Washington Realty Trust, Inc. obtained as partial consideration in the 1995 sale of four commercial properties. The Company received approximately $9.9 million in cash proceeds from the sale of the stock and recognized approximately a $2.1 million gain on the sale ($.025 per share) for financial reporting purposes. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR DISPOSITION During the first quarter of 1997, the Company transferred seven apartment communities aggregating $33.7 million, net of accumulated depreciation, from real estate held for investment to real estate held for disposition. The Company is offering these seven properties for sale in a portfolio transaction. This classification is consistent with the Company's ongoing portfolio review analysis and whereby properties that do not meet the long-term investment objectives of the Company will be disposed. The Company does not anticipate any losses from the portfolio sale, and accordingly, the real estate is carried at lower of cost or market value less disposal costs. Real estate held for disposition included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in the aggregate amount of $73.4 million, net of accumulated depreciation and valuation allowance includes: (i) 13 apartment communities aggregating $54.8 million, (ii) three shopping centers aggregating $14.6 million, (iii) three 11 other commercial properties aggregating $2.4 million and (iv) one parcel of land in the amount of $1.6 million. Real estate held for disposition contributed net rental income (rental income less rental expenses and depreciation expense) in the aggregate amount of approximately $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Company expects to dispose of these properties within the next twelve months. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company sold two apartment communities containing 278 apartment homes for an aggregate sales price of $6.1 million. The Company will recognize approximately $1.3 million of gains on the sale of investments for financial reporting purposes in connection with these sales. FINANCING ACTIVITIES FINANCIAL STRUCTURE The Company intends to maintain what management believes is a conservative capital structure. Balance at Weighted Average Capitalization March 31, 1997 Interest Rate Percentage Fixed Rate Secured Debt $ 378,879 7.6% 15.2% Fixed Rate Unsecured Debt 688,151 7.4% 27.6% ------------ ---- ----- 1,067,030 7.5% 42.8% Variable Rate Secured Debt 18,622 6.1% 0.7% Variable Rate Unsecured Debt 24,811 6.3% 1.0% ------------ ---- ----- 43,433 6.3% 1.7% ------------ ---- ----- Total Debt $ 1,110,463 7.4% 44.5% Equity capitalization at market 1,383,236 n/a 55.5% ------------ ------ Total market capitalization (debt & equity) $ 2,493,699 n/a 100.0% ============ ====== Net cash provided by financing activities during the first three months of 1997 was approximately $85.2 million compared to $27.6 million for the same period last year, reflecting the significant debt and equity financing activities during the first quarter of 1997. On January 28, 1997, the Company issued 4,000,000 shares of its common stock at $15.75 per share for an aggregate value of approximately $63 million. Net proceeds of approximately $59.7 million were used to repay an unsecured credit facility assumed in connection with the South West Merger. The Company also received approximately $6.9 million under its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan during the first quarter of 1997 which included approximatley $6.0 million in optional cash investments and $.9 million of reinvested dividends. The Company expects to generate approximately $30 million in proceeds from the Plan during 1997. In anticipation of the issuance of unsecured debt in early 1997, the Company entered into a $100 million (notional amount) Treasury rate lock agreement in November 1996. On January 27, 1997, the Company issued $125 million of 7.25% Notes due January 15, 2007 under its $462.5 million shelf registration statement. The Notes were priced to yield 7.31% which was 79 basis points over the 10 year Treasury at the time of issuance. The interest rate protection agreement was terminated simultaneously with the $125 million Note issuance and the Company received $1.5 million in cash. This had the economic effect of lowering the interest rate on the Notes to approximately 7.14%. Net proceeds of approximately $124 million were used to curtail bank debt and purchase apartment communities. 12 DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company has, from time to time, used derivative instruments to synthetically alter on-balance sheet liabilities or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. Derivative contracts did not have a material impact on the results of operations during the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. At March 31, 1997, the Company had six interest rate swap agreements (the "agreements") with three commercial lenders for an aggregate notional value of approximately $127 million. Under these agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate of interest and receives a variable rate of interest on the notional amounts. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed the Company's interest rate exposure on approximately $127 million of its variable rate debt from a variable rate to a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 6.9% during the first quarter of 1997. These agreements did not have a material impact on results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 1997 or 1996. CREDIT FACILITIES At March 31, 1997, the Company had the following credit facilities: Weighted Average Weighted Average Amount of Amount Interest Rate at Interest Rate During Credit facility facility outstanding March 31, 1997 First Quarter 1997 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revolving credit $ 70,000 $ 57,000 6.35% 6.18% Line of credit 33,500 -- -- -- Interim credit 50,000 50,000 6.34% 6.21% -------------------------------------------------------------- $ 153,500 $ 107,000 6.35% 6.19% ============================================================== During the first quarter of 1997, the Company used primarily bank debt to fund its acquisitions program. The Company expects to close a new unsecured senior revolving credit facility in the amount of $250 million with a group of its commercial banks during the second quarter of 1997. The Company's liquidity and capital resources are believed to be more than adequate to meet its cash requirements for the next several years. The Company expects to meet its short- and long-term capital requirements, such as balloon debt maturities, property acquisitions, development activity and significant capital improvements primarily through the public and private sale of capital stock and the issuance of medium and long-term unsecured notes payable. The Company may also fund its capital requirements through (i) the assumption of mortgage indebtedness, (ii) sales of properties, (iii) cash invested through the Company's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, (iv) retained operating cash flow and (v) the issuance of operating partnership units. The Company's senior debt is currently rated BBB+ by Standard & Poor's and Baa1 by Moody's. As a result of its investment grade debt ratings, the Company expects to use unsecured debt as its primary debt funding source. Depending upon the volume and timing of acquisition activity, the Company anticipates raising additional debt and equity capital during the next twelve months to finance capital requirements while striving to minimize the overall cost of capital. During the second quarter of 1997, the Company plans to file a shelf registration statement for approximately $675 million of debt and preferred and common equity securities. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as income before gains (losses) on sales of investments, minority interest of unitholders in operating partnership and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) plus real estate depreciation, less preferred dividends and after adjustment for significant non-recurring items, if any. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the recommendations set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). The Company considers FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance, and believes that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the Company's operating performance and liquidity. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. 13 For the three months ended March 31, 1997, FFO increased 71.9% to $28.8 million, compared with $16.7 million for the same period last year. The increase in FFO was principally due to the increased net rental income from the Company's 25,154 non-mature apartment homes in 81 apartment communities (those acquired, developed and sold subsequent to January 1, 1996). Three Months Ended March 31 (In thousands) 1997 1996 % Change ----------------------------- Calculation of Funds from Operations: Income before gains (losses) on sales of investments, minority interest of unitholders in operating partnership and extraordinary item $ 15,024 $ 8,594 74.8% Adjustments: Real estate depreciation 16,162 10,560 53.0% Dividends to preferred shareholders (2,428) (2,428) -- ----------------------------- Funds from Operations $ 28,758 $ 16,726 71.9% ============================= RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company's net income is primarily generated from the operations of its apartment communities. For purposes of evaluating the Company's comparative operating performance, the Company categorizes its apartment communities into two categories (i) mature--those communities acquired, developed and stabilized prior to January 1, 1996 and held throughout both the first quarter of 1997 and 1996 and (ii) non-mature--those communities acquired, developed and sold subsequent January 1, 1996. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company reported increases over the same period last year in rental income, income before gains (losses) on sales of investments and minority interest of unitholders in operating partnership and net income. Net income available to common shareholders increased $7.6 million, with a corresponding increase of $.04 per share compared to the same period last year. Since the beginning of 1996, the Company acquired and developed a total of 25,154 apartment homes in 81 apartment communities (including 14,320 completed apartment homes in 44 apartment communities acquired in the South West Merger), representing a 70.9% expansion in the number of apartment homes owned during that period. These non-mature apartment homes provided a substantial portion of the aggregate reported increases. ALL APARTMENT COMMUNITIES The operating performance for the Company's 217 apartment communities containing 58,473 completed apartment homes for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 145 apartment communities containing 35,036 apartment homes for the three months ended March 31, 1996, respectively, is summarized as follows: 14 Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 1997 1996 % Change ----------------------------------- Rental income $ 89,236 $ 53,280 67.5% Rental expenses (37,399) (23,223) 61.0% Real estate depreciation (16,162) (10,466) 54.4% ----------------------------------- Net rental income (1) $ 35,675 $ 19,591 82.1% =================================== Weighted average number of apartment homes 56,288 34,460 63.3% Economic occupancy (2) 91.5% 93.1% (1.6%) Average monthly rents $ 562 $ 529 6.2% (1) Net rental income for an apartment community is defined as total rental income, less rental expenses, less real estate depreciation. (2) Economic occupancy is defined as rental income (gross potential rent less vacancy loss, management units, move-in concessions and credit loss) divided by potential collections (gross potential rent less management units and move-in concessions) for the period, expressed as a percentage. Due to the acquisition and development of 25,154 apartment homes since January 1, 1996, the weighted average number of apartment homes increased 63.3% to 56,288 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. As a result of the increase in the number of apartment homes acquired since January 1, 1996, the Company has experienced significant increases in rental income, rental expenses and real estate depreciation for the three months ended March 31, 1997. MATURE APARTMENT COMMUNITIES The operating performance for the Company's 136 mature apartment communities containing 33,319 apartment homes for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 is summarized as follows: Three Months Ended March 31, (In thousands) 1997 1996 % Change ------------------------------------- Rental income $ 53,284 $ 51,385 3.7% Rental expenses (23,070) (22,349) 3.2% Real estate depreciation (9,554) (10,134) (5.7%) ------------------------------------- Net rental income $ 20,660 $ 18,902 9.3% ===================================== Economic occupancy 91.8% 93.0% (1.2%) Average monthly rental rates $ 562 $ 539 4.2% For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's mature communities provided approximately 60% of the Company's apartment rental income and net rental income. During the first quarter of 1997, the Company's mature apartment communities experienced good rent and other income growth. Compared to the same period last year, total rental income from these apartment homes grew 3.7%, or $1.9 million, reflecting an increase in average monthly rents of 4.2% to $562 per month, or an increase of $2.3 million. In addition, other income, primarily fee income, increased $429,000 or 26.5%. The rental rate increase was offset by a 1.2% decline in economic occupancy to 91.8%, which resulted from a decrease in physical occupancy of 1.4% and an improvement in credit loss of .2%. The economic occupancy declined due to the weakening of certain major markets during the last half of 1996 including Columbia, South Carolina, Greenville, 15 South Carolina, Washington, DC, Jacksonville, Florida, Richmond, Atlanta and Hampton Roads. Overall, economic occupancy bottomed out in January 1997 and has been trending upward during the remainder of the first quarter to 92.3% for March 1997. The Company attributes the market softness primarily to increased home buying, a slowdown in job growth and an oversupply of apartment homes in certain of the southeastern markets. The Company expects to maintain rent growth in the 4% range and economic occupancy in the 92% range during 1997. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, rental expenses at these communities increased 3.2%, or $721,000, resulting in a decrease in the operating expense ratio (the ratio of rental expenses to rental income) of .2% to 43.3%. The 3.2% increase in operating expenses is attributable to higher real estate taxes, insurance, marketing and advertising and incentive compensation earned by apartment site associates. Real estate taxes increased approximately $101,000 over the same period last year as the Company has experienced continuing pressure on this expense item over the past year. Casualty insurance expense has increased approximately $107,000 over the same period last year. Over the past several years, the Company experienced several large casualty insurance claims relating to hurricane and storm damage which resulted in a significant increase in insurance rates beginning with its July 1, 1996 policy year. Marketing and advertising costs increased approximately $290,000 over the same period last year as a direct result of softening in certain major markets. Incentive compensation earned by the site associates increased approximately $200,000 due to the better performance achieved by these communities compared to the same period last year. The Company expects the rate of growth in rental expenses to range in the 3% to 4% range during 1997. The first quarter of 1996 included approximately $400,000 of weather related expenses which included high levels of gas, snow removal and repair labor expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, depreciation expense decreased $580,000 or 5.7%, primarily as a result of the transfer of properties from real estate held for investment to real estate held for disposition since the first quarter of 1996. Depreciation ceases when properties are transferred from real estate held for investment to real estate held for disposition in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. NON-MATURE COMMUNITIES The operating performance for the three months ended March 31, 1997 for the Company's 81 non-mature apartment communities which includes: (i) the 30 apartment communities containing 7,712 apartment homes acquired during 1996 and a 253 unit community acquired in 1995 and not stabilized due to significant rehabilitation, (ii) the 44 apartment communities containing 14,215 apartment homes acquired on December 31, 1996 in connection with the South West Merger (excluding 105 newly developed apartment homes), (iii) the seven apartment communities containing 2,592 apartment homes acquired since January 1, 1997, (iv) the four apartment communities containing 652 apartment homes sold since January 1, 1996 and (v) the 382 apartment homes developed since January 1, 1996 is summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): Former 1997 Acquisitions, 1996 Acquisitions South West Development & Sales Total Non-Mature Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Three Months Ended Three Months Ended March 31, March 31, March 31, March 31, 1997 1996 1997 1996 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ Rental income $ 12,620 $ 958 $ 21,785 $ -- $ 1,547 $ 937 $ 35,952 $ 1,895 Rental expenses (5,041) (446) (8,810) -- (478) (428) (14,329) (874) Real estate depreciation (2,310) (332) (4,119) -- (179) -- (6,608) (332) ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- ------------------ Net rental income $ 5,269 $ 180 $ 8,856 $ -- $ 890 $ 509 $ 15,015 $ 689 =================== =================== =================== ================== For the three months ended March 31, 1997, the Company's non-mature apartment communities provided approximately 40% of the Company's apartment rental income and net rental income. Rental income, rental expenses and real estate depreciation increased from 1996 to 1997 directly as a result of the increase in the number of apartment homes acquired during 1996 and 1997. For the 25,154 apartments homes in the 81 non-mature communities acquired and developed since January 1, 1996, average economic occupancy was 91.0% and the operating expense ratio was 39.1% during the first quarter of 1997. 16 1996 ACQUISITIONS The 30 apartment communities containing 7,712 apartment homes that were acquired during 1996 (excluding the South West Merger) provided a significant increase in rental income, rental expenses and depreciation expense for the Company's apartment portfolio. For the first quarter of 1997, these apartment communities had economic occupancy of 88.3% and an operating expense ratio of 39.1%. The first year return on investment for these communities was projected at 9.5%, however, the actual first quarter return on investment, on an average investment of approximately $329 million, was 8.9%. The shortfall in the performance of the 1996 acquisitions was primarily due to the under-performance of nine apartment communities that were acquired in August 1996 as part of a portfolio transaction which had a concentration of communities in the Greensboro/Winston-Salem, North Carolina market. Occupancy levels in this region peaked in the 93% to 94% range in August 1996 when the Company acquired these properties and has fallen to approximately 85.1% for the first quarter of 1997. SOUTH WEST PROPERTY TRUST, INC. (SWP) The acquisition of the 44 apartment communities containing 14,215 apartment homes included in the SWP Merger on December 31, 1996, provided the largest increases in rental income, rental expenses and depreciation expenses for the Company's entire apartment portfolio. For the first quarter of 1997, these apartment communities had economic occupancy of 91.9% and an operating expense ratio of 39.6%. The first year return on investment for the SWP Portfolio was projected to be 9.5% which approximates the 9.7% return on investment posted during the first quarter of 1997. Included in the SWP communities are 12,361 stabilized apartment communities (those acquired, developed and stabilized prior to January 1, 1996) which experienced rent growth of 4.7% over the amounts reported last year by SWP, an average economic occupancy of 91.7% and an operating expense ratio of 43.3%. 1997 ACQUISITIONS, DEVELOPMENT AND SALES Included in this category are the seven apartment communities containing 2,592 apartment homes acquired by the Company during the first quarter of 1997 which are projected to have a first year return on investment of approximately 9.8% and the 530 apartment homes developed since January 1, 1997 (the 1996 figures include results of operations of four apartment communities containing 652 apartment sold during 1996). These communities did not have a material impact on first quarter 1997 results of operations. COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES Rental income, rental expenses and real estate depreciation from commercial properties decreased $810,000, $279,000 and $94,000 respectively during the three months ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period last year. These decreases were directly attributable to the sale of four shopping centers and one industrial park since the beginning of 1996. INTEREST EXPENSE For the three months ended March 31, 1997 interest expense increased $8.5 million or $.03 per common share over the same period last year. The weighted average amount of debt employed during 1997 was higher than it was in 1996 ($1.0 billion in 1997 versus $554 million in 1996). The weighted average interest rate on this debt was slightly lower in 1997 decreasing from 7.6% in 1996 to 7.3%. The lower average interest rate during 1997 reflected the increased reliance on lower rate short-term bank borrowings increased in 1997 compared to 1996 ($72.3 million weighted average outstanding in 1997 versus $42.5 million in 1996). GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE During the first quarter of 1997, general and administrative expenses increased by $450,000 over the same period last year. In 1997, the Company incurred increases in most of its general and administrative expense categories which is directly attributable to the increased size of the Company, however, general and administrative expense as a percentage of rental revenues decreased .5% from 2.5% during the 1996 period to 2.0% in 1997 due to ecomonies of scale. During the first quarter of 1997, general and administrative expenses grew 33% while rental income grew by 64% over the same period last year. 17 GAINS ON SALES OF INVESTMENTS During the first quarter of 1997, the Company recognized a gain for financial reporting purposes of $2.1 million on the sale of its investment in the preferred stock of First Washington Realty Trust, Inc. The Company sold four shopping centers to First Washington Realty Trust, Inc. on June 30, 1995 and in connection with the sales, received cash and 358,000 shares of First Washington's 9.75% Series A Cumulative Participating Convertible Preferred Stock having a fair value of $7.7 million on the date of sale. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company sold one shopping center and recognized a $965,000 gain for financial reporting purposes. INFLATION The Company believes that the direct effects of inflation on the Company's operations have been inconsequential. 18 PART II ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Neither the Company nor any of its apartment communities is presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any litigation threatened against the Company or any of the communities, other than routine actions arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
