UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including United
Dominion Realty, L.P., its Operating Partnership, and Heritage Communities, L.P.
(collectively, "United Dominion"). As of June 30, 1999, there were 38,338,636
units in the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which, 30,920,389, or 80.7%
were owned by United Dominion and 7,418,247, or 19.3% were owned by
non-affiliated limited partners. In connection with the acquisition of ASR
Investments Corporation, United Dominion acquired Heritage Communities, L.P., a
Delaware limited partnership (Heritage OP). As of June 30, 1999, there were
3,512,423 units in the Heritage OP outstanding, of which, 2,974,252 or 84.7%
were owned by United Dominion and 15.3% were owned by non-affiliated limited
partnerships. The financial statements of United Dominion include the minority
interests of the unitholders in the operating partnerships.
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and
regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements and related notes appearing in United Dominion's December 31, 1998
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for fair presentation of financial position at
June 30, 1999 and results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30,
1999 and 1998. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. All
significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of
results that can be expected for a full year.
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the
financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those
estimates.
Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current financial statement presentation.
2. Real Estate Held for Investment
At June 30, 1999, there are 281 communities with 76,667 apartment homes
classified as real estate held for investment. The following table summarizes
the components of real estate held for investment at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998:

Accumulated depreciation (316,764) (280,663)
----------- -----------
Real estate held for investment, net
of accumulated depreciation $ 3,248,952 $ 3,362,582
=========== ===========
At the beginning of June, United Dominion embarked on an accelerated disposition
plan for non-strategic properties. As a result of the review of its real estate
apartment portfolio, 21 properties included in real estate held for investment
were moved to real estate held for disposition during the second quarter.
Accordingly, through the review and analysis of communities targeted for
strategic disposition which included exiting one of United Dominion's major
markets, an aggregate $7.1 million impairment loss was recognized on five
communities. An impairment loss was indicated as a result of the net book value
of the assets held for disposition being greater than the estimated fair market
value less the cost of disposal.

3. Notes Payable - Secured
Notes payable-secured, which encumber $1.9 billion or 47.8% of United Dominion's
real estate owned, ($2.1 billion or 52.2% of United Dominion's real estate owned
is unencumbered) consist of the following at June 30, 1999:

==============================================================================
(a) Includes fair value adjustments aggregating $16.7 million recorded in
connection with the ASR Merger and the AAC Merger on March 27, 1998 and
December 7, 1998, respectively.
(b) Secured notes payable consist of a $31.7 million variable-rate secured
senior credit facility which encumbers five communities and three
secured variable-rate notes payable aggregating $20.3 million, all of
which matured in August 1999 and were paid off with proceeds from the
additional $66 million borrowed under the FNMA credit facility in
August 1999.
(c) United Dominion has six interest rate swap agreements associated with
secured debt with an aggregate notional value of $52 million under
which United Dominion pays a fixed-rate of interest and receives a
variable-rate on the notional amounts. The interest rate swap
agreements effectively change United Dominion's interest rate exposure
on $52 million from a variable-rate to a weighted average fixed-rate of
approximately 7.49%.
(d) During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion closed $129.7
million of a $200 million revolving credit facility (the "Credit
Facility") with the Federal National Mortgage Association. The Credit
Facility currently bears a variable rate of interest of 5.70%. The
financing is for an initial term of five years, bears interest at a
floating rate which can be fixed for periods of up to 270 days, and can
be extended for an additional five or ten years at United Dominion's
discretion.

=========== ==========
(a) Weighted average interest rate of 5.6% and 6.0% at June 30, 1999 and
December 31, 1998, respectively.
(b) Payable in four equal principal installments of $7.4 million.
(c) Includes $5.0 million and $5.4 million at June 30, 1999 and December
31, 1998, respectively, of deferred gains from the termination of
interest rate risk management agreements.
(d) Notes include an investor put feature which grants options to redeem
the notes in April 2003, 2009, 2014 and 2019 at par.
(e) United Dominion has one interest rate swap agreement associated with
unsecured debt with an aggregate notional value of $10 million under
which United Dominion pays a fixed-rate of interest and receives a
variable-rate on the notional amount. The interest rate swap agreement
effectively changes United Dominion's interest rate exposure on the $10
million from a variable-rate to a fixed-rate of 7.65%.
(f) During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion issued $190
million aggregate principal amounts of senior unsecured notes under its
$200 million Medium-Term Note Program, with a weighted average interest
rate of 7.6% and a weighted average term of 6.3 years.
(g) Debentures include an investor put feature which grants a one-time
option to redeem debentures in September 2004.
During the second quarter of 1999, United Dominion recognized a $509 thousand
extraordinary gain related to the repurchase of $18.0 million of its unsecured
notes payable at less than face value.

5. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per
common share is computed based on common shares outstanding plus the effect of
dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents.
The dilutive effect of stock options and other potential common stock
equivalents is determined using the treasury stock method based on United
Dominion's average stock price. The early extinguishment of debt does not have
an effect on the earnings per share calculation for the periods presented. The
effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units and convertible
preferred stock is not dilutive and is therefore not included in the following
calculations. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the operating
partnership units for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was

6. Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (Statement 133),
as amended by Statement No. 137 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133 -
an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, which is required to be adopted in years
beginning after June 15, 2000. Statement 133 permits early adoption as of the
beginning of any fiscal quarter after its issuance, however, United Dominion
does not anticipate adopting Statement 133 until such time as it is required.
Statement 133 will require United Dominion to recognize all derivatives on the
balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to
fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature
of the hedge, changes in fair value of derivatives will either be offset against
the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments
through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative's
change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings. United Dominion
has not yet determined what the effect of Statement 133 will be on earnings and
the financial position of United Dominion, however, management does not
anticipate that the adoption of Statement 133 will have a significant effect on
earnings or the financial position of United Dominion.

PART I
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes thereto of United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc.
("United Dominion") appearing elsewhere in this report. This quarterly report
contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1993, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, without
limitation, statements concerning 1999 property acquisitions and dispositions,
1999 development activity and capital expenditures, 1999 capital raising
activities, 1999 rent growth, occupancy and rental expense growth. Such
statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement of United
Dominion to be materially different from the results of operations or plans
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among other things, unanticipated adverse business developments affecting United
Dominion, and/or its properties, adverse changes in the real estate markets and
general and local economies and business conditions. Although United Dominion
believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and
therefore there can be no assurance that such statements included in this report
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 representation by United Dominion or any
other person that the results or conditions described in such statements or the
objectives and plans of United Dominion will be achieved.
United Dominion operates in one defined business segment as an owner, operator,
renovator and developer of apartment communities nationwide. Management's
strategy is to be a national, highly efficient provider of quality apartment
homes. During the past several years, United Dominion has implemented this
strategy through the acquisition of portfolios of higher quality communities,
the disposition of non-strategic communities, a greater commitment to
development and the upgrade of its older communities. United Dominion seeks to
be a market leader by operating a sufficiently sized portfolio of apartments
within each if its targeted markets in order to drive down operating costs
through economies of scale and management efficiencies. United Dominion believes
that geographic market diversification increases investment opportunity and
decreases the risk associated with cyclical local real estate markets and
economies. At June 30, 1999, United Dominion owned 324 communities with 85,402
apartment homes nationwide.

(a) Average monthly rental rates represent potential rent collections
(gross potential rents less market adjustments), which approximate net
effective rents. These figures exclude two acquisition completed in
1999 and development communities in lease-up.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a qualified real estate investment trust ("REIT"), United Dominion
distributes a substantial portion of its cash flow to its shareholders in the
form of quarterly distributions. United Dominion believes that cash provided by
operations will be adequate to meet normal operating requirements and payment of
distributions by United Dominion in accordance with REIT requirements in both
the short and long-term. United Dominion utilizes a variety of primarily
external financing sources to fund portfolio growth, major capital improvement
programs and balloon debt payments. United Dominion'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. At June 30, 1999, United Dominion had cash and cash equivalents of
$15.9 million and amounts available under its credit facilities aggregating
$48.1 million.
United Dominion expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through
net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit facilities. To meet
certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities,
development activity and significant capital improvements, United Dominion
expects to issue secured and unsecured notes payable. Although United Dominion
believes that it will have the capacity to meet its long-term liquidity needs,
there can be no assurance that such additional debt financing or debt and equity
offerings will be available or, if available, on terms satisfactory to United
Dominion. United Dominion may also fund its capital requirements through: (i)
proceeds from asset sales, (ii) common shares sold through United Dominion's
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan, (iii) retained operating cash
flow and (iv) the use of unused credit facilities. United Dominion completed the
majority of its 1999 financing activity during the first half of 1999 (See
Financing Activities). United Dominion has no significant debt maturities until
November 2000, except for $70.3 million of notes payable-secured maturing during
the third quarter of 1999 which was repaid with the proceeds from additional
borrowings under a $200 million revolving credit facility with the Federal
National Mortgage Association. In addition, we expect expenditures for
development activity to decrease as funding is anticipated to occur through
joint venture arrangements.
The following discussion explains the changes in net cash provided by operating
activities, net cash used for investing activities and net cash provided by
financing activities which are presented in United Dominion's Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows.
Operating Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, United Dominion's cash flow from
operating activities of $75.6 million decreased slightly from $79.8 million for
the same period last year. The decrease relates primarily to the payment of
accrued operating expenses subsequent to December 31, 1998.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, net cash used for investing
activities was $54.9 million compared to $101.7 million for the same period last
year. During 1999, United Dominion's investing activities will consist primarily
of the acquisition of real estate with proceeds from the sales of investments
and funding its current development commitments and its share of potential joint
venture development projects. Changes in the level of investing activities from
period to period primarily reflect the changing levels of United Dominion's
acquisition, capital expenditure, development and sales programs, as well as,
the impact of the capital market environment on these activities. During the
past several years, United Dominion has been strategically repositioning its
portfolio through the development of communities, the upgrade of its existing
portfolio and the disposition of communities that did not meet its long-term
strategic direction.
Real estate under development
United Dominion focuses its development activity in certain of its major markets
where it is believed that there will be stabilized demand. During 1998, United
Dominion increased its commitment to development as part of its strategic
repositioning. During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion invested
$56.6 million on development projects, including the acquisition of land.

United Dominion is committed to completing its real estate currently under
development, which has an estimated cost to complete of $59.8 million.
Additional development starts planned for the remainder of 1999 will likely be
done with financial partners in joint ventures.
Capital Expenditures
United Dominion capitalizes value enhancing improvements plus improvements that
substantially extend the useful life of an existing asset. In addition to United
Dominion's capital expenditures to upgrade and improve new acquisitions, a
significant portion of capital expenditures relate to United Dominion's same
communities. During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion invested $32.5
million on capital improvements to its apartment portfolio.
During the first six months of 1999, non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures,
including floor coverings, HVAC equipment, roofs, appliances, landscaping,
parking lots and other non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, aggregated
$9.4 million or $173 per home or $346 per home on an annualized basis. These
non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures are on target with our budgets of
$350 per home for 1999. In addition, non-recurring/revenue-enhancing capital
expenditures, including water sub-metering, the additions of microwaves,
washer-dryers, interior upgrades and new business and fitness centers totaled
$4.2 million or $77 per home during the first six months of 1999.
United Dominion has completed the majority of its same community upgrade program
and has reduced its capital expenditures related to same communities during the
first six months of 1999, but will continue to selectively add revenue enhancing
improvements which are budgeted to provide a high return on investment.
13
Acquisitions
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, United Dominion acquired two
communities with 496 apartment homes at a total cost (including closing costs)
of $26.2 million or $52,900 per home. During the remainder of 1999, United
Dominion does not anticipate acquiring communities except to reinvest a portion
of the proceeds from property dispositions.

Disposition of investments
As part of its strategic repositioning, United Dominion has undertaken proactive
portfolio review analyses with the objective of identifying communities that no
longer meet United Dominion's long-term investment objectives due to size,
location, age, quality and/or performance. The disposition program allows United
Dominion to reduce the age of its existing portfolio, which should result in
lower operating expense and capital expenditure growth associated with the older
communities, to exit non-core markets and divest itself of communities that are
no longer strategically important. United Dominion intends to sell as much as
10,000 apartment homes during 1999 which will substantially complete the
disposition process that is part of our strategic repositioning plan. It is
anticipated that the proceeds from the sales, estimated at more than $300
million, will be used to fund acquisitions in order to complete tax-deferred
exchanges to defer large capital gains, to fund development activity, to reduce
debt and to repurchase common stock. The dispositions are expected to be
moderately dilutive to current earnings as the initial returns on investment on
higher quality communities and the interest rate on debt repaid are lower than
the returns on investment on the communities being sold.
In connection with its disposition strategy, during the first six months of
1999, United Dominion sold 11 communities with 2,703 apartment homes for an
aggregate sales price of $102.9 million and a net book value of $67.8 million.
Proceeds received in connection with the sales were used to repay debt,
repurchase common stock and complete 1031 tax deferred exchanges (See
Acquisitions). For financial reporting purposes, gains on the sales of these
assets aggregated $32.4 million.
At June 30, 1999, there are 44 communities with 8,735 apartment homes and 4
commercial properties classified as real estate held for disposition with a net
book value of $270.5 million (net of $37.6 million of accumulated depreciation).
These communities contributed property operating income (property rental income
less property operating expenses) of $6.6 million and $13.5 million for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999. United Dominion believes that
these properties will be disposed of over the next twelve months.
United Dominion has entered into several contracts with a number of purchasers
to sell 20 communities with 3,849 apartment homes for an aggregate sales price
of $121.1 million. In addition, United Dominion has two communities with 395
apartment homes and one parcel of land under letter of intent for an aggregate
sales price of $15 million. For financial reporting purposes, aggregate gains on
the sales of investments are not expected to be material. The transactions are
expected to close during the third and fourth quarter of 1999, however, there
can be no assurance that these transactions will be consummated as planned.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $23.3 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $33.0
million last year. The financing activities of United Dominion are affected by
the capital markets environment and the level of its acquisition, development,
capital expenditures and sales programs.
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities
In January 1999, United Dominion established a program for the sale of up to
$200 million aggregate principal amount of medium-term notes (the "MTN
Program"). During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion sold an
aggregate of $190 million of senior unsecured notes under the MTN Program which
consisted of the following: (i) $70 million of 7.60% Notes due January 25, 2002,
(ii) $58 million of 7.67% Notes due January 26, 2004, (iii) $10 million of
variable-rate Notes due January 27, 2003 on which United Dominion subsequently
14
executed a swap fixing the rate at 7.65%, (iv) $12 million of 7.22% notes due
February 19, 2003, (v) $25 million of 7.73% Notes due April 5, 2005 and (vi) $15
million of 7.53% Notes due April 27, 2029 (puttable to United Dominion beginning
2003). Net proceeds from the offerings were used to repay amortizing unsecured
debt, repay maturing mortgage debt, repay a $75 million senior unsecured note
that matured in April 1999 and repay revolving bank debt.
On March 18, 1999, United Dominion closed on the first part of a $200 million
revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with the Federal National
Mortgage Association. The $102.3 million initially borrowed under the terms of
the Credit Facility has an initial interest rate of 5.70%, which is fixed
through December 1, 1999. In April 1999, United Dominion borrowed an additional
$16.6 million at an interest rate of 5.68% and $10.7 million at an interest rate
of 5.72%. Each of the financings are for an initial term of five years, bear
interest at a floating rate which can be fixed for periods of up to 270 days,
and can be extended for an additional five or ten years at United Dominion's
discretion. The proceeds from the Credit Facility were used to repay a $91
million secured credit facility assumed in connection with the American
Apartment Communities II transaction and the remaining proceeds were used to
repay revolving bank debt. In August, an additional $66.0 million was borrowed
under the Credit Facility which has an initial interest rate of 6.53%. Proceeds
from the borrowing were used to replace $58 million in maturing secured debt and
the remaining $8 million was used to repay revolving bank debt.
United Dominion issued 842,848 shares of its common stock and received $8.6
million under its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan during the first
half of 1999 which included $0.7 million in optional cash investments and $7.9
million of reinvested dividends.
During the first six months of 1999, United Dominion paid distributions to its
common shareholders and unitholders in its operating partnerships aggregating
$56.4 million. The distribution to common shareholders and holders of operating
partnership units equates to an annualized dividend rate of $1.06 per share or
unit. In addition, $16.1 million of preferred dividends were paid to Series A, B
and D preferred shareholders.
Using proceeds from its disposition program, United Dominion repurchased $18.0
million of certain of its higher rate outstanding unsecured debt with a weighted
average yield of 8.25%.
In May 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 5.5
million common shares, or 5% of the total common shares outstanding, using
proceeds from the disposition program. Such purchases will be made from time to
time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions; the timing,
volume and price of such purchases will be at the discretion of management and
the Board. During June 1999, United Dominion repurchased 232,100 common shares
at an average price of $11.14 per share. Subsequent to June 30, 1999, United
Dominion repurchased an additional 1,165,500 common shares at an average price
of $11.37 per share.
Other significant financing activities included: (i) scheduled repayments of
secured notes payable aggregating $9.7 million, (ii) payment of financing costs
related to the issuance of debt in the amount of $4.8 million, (iii) the
conversion of operating partnership units in exchange for cash aggregating $3.4
million.
Credit Facilities
United Dominion has a $200 million three year unsecured revolving credit
facility (the "Credit Facility"), a $50 million one year unsecured line of
credit (the "Line of Credit") and a $15 million uncommitted line of credit (the
"Uncommitted Line") with a major U.S. financial institution. At and for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, United Dominion had the following credit facilities

Derivative Instruments
United Dominion has, from time to time, used derivative instruments to
synthetically alter on-balance sheet liabilities to hedge anticipated
transactions. Derivative contracts did not have a material impact on the results
of operations during the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Market Risk Disclosures
United Dominion is exposed to market risk principally from interest rate risk
associated with variable-rate notes payable and maturing debt that has to be
refinanced. A large portion of United Dominion's market risk is exposure to
short-term interest rate fluctuations on variable-rate borrowings outstanding
under its various credit facilities, which was $216.9 million at June 30, 1999
and borrowings of $129.7 million outstanding under its revolving credit facility
with FNMA. The impact on United Dominion's financial statements of refinancing
fixed-rate debt that matured during the second quarter was not material.
United Dominion's market risk has not changed materially from the amounts
reported in United Dominion's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1998.
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as income before gains (losses) on
sales of investments, minority interests of unitholders in operating
partnerships 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.
United Dominion computes FFO in accordance with the recommendations set forth by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). United
Dominion 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 United Dominion'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.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, FFO increased 30.2% to $88.0 million,
compared with $67.6 million for the same period last year. The increase in FFO
was principally due to the increased net rental income from United Dominion's
non-mature apartment homes acquired and developed subsequent to January 1, 1998
as well as increased property operating income from its same community
portfolio.

Results of Operations
United Dominion's net income is primarily generated from the operations of its
apartment communities. For purposes of evaluating its comparative operating
performance, United Dominion categorizes its communities into two categories,
same community and non-mature. For the 1999 versus 1998 comparison, these
communities are as follows: (i) same community--those communities acquired,
developed and stabilized prior to January 1, 1998 and held throughout the first
six months of 1999 and 1998 and (ii) non-mature--those communities acquired,
developed or sold subsequent to January 1, 1998.
16
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, United Dominion reported
increases over the same period last year in rental income and rental expenses.
United Dominion's non-mature communities provided a substantial portion of the
aggregate reported increases. Net income available to common shareholders for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 includes aggregate gains on the
sale of investments of $32.2 million ($.31 per share) and $32.4 million ($.31
per share), respectively compared to $20.7 million ($.20 per share) and $20.5
million ($.21 per share) during the same periods last year. However, the
increases associated with the gains on sales of investments were moderated in
part due to the $7.1 million impairment loss recorded during the second quarter
of 1999. Net income per common share, both basic and diluted increased $.01 per
share for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and decreased $.02 per share for
the six months ended June 30, 1999.
Same Communities
The operating performance of the 196 same communities with 54,392 apartment
homes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 is summarized
below (dollars in thousands):

Operating margin 60.6% 59.2% 1.4% 60.9% 60.1% 0.8%
United Dominion's primary earnings driver comes from increased property
operating income generated from its same communities. For the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 same community property operating income was strong,
increasing 5.3% and 4.6%, respectively, over the same periods last year.
During the first six months of 1999, property rental income for the same
communities grew 3.3%, or $6.1 million over the same period last year. The
increase was attributable to an increase in average monthly rents of 3.7% which
was offset by a slight decrease of 0.5% in physical occupancy to 92.2%. A
portion of the rent growth reflected the impact of United Dominion's revenue
enhancing expenditure program that has been ongoing since the end of 1996. The
operating margin (property operating income divided by property rental income)
improved 1.3% to 60.9% as a result of increased property rental income during
this period. For the quarter, property rental income grew 2.9% or $2.7 million,
reflecting an increase in average monthly rents of 3.6% and fairly stable
physical occupancy. United Dominion expects to maintain annualized rent growth
in the 3% range.
For the six months ended June 30, 1999, property operating expenses at the same
communities increased 1.3%, or $935 thousand. The increase was primarily the
result of a $1 million increase in personnel costs as United Dominion
experienced pressure on wages due to low unemployment and tighter job markets,
in its service area, as well as increased real estate taxes which was offset by
a decrease in repair and maintenance and property management expenses. For the
quarter, rental expenses were relatively flat, decreasing $197 thousand. United
Dominion expects to maintain annualized expense growth in the 2% range during
1999.

Non-Mature Communities
The operating performance for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 for

================== ================= ================= ================= ===================
For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the non-mature communities had physical
occupancy of 91.9% (excluding Development Properties undergoing lease-up) and an
operating margin of 58.8%. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, these
communities had physical occupancy of 91.8% and an operating margin of 59.1%.
1998 Acquisitions
Single Acquisitions and ASR Portfolio
- -------------------------------------
Included in this category are (i) 24 communities with 6,959 apartment homes
acquired in individual and portfolio transactions by United Dominion during 1998
and (ii) 39 communities with 7,550 apartment homes included in the ASR portfolio
acquired on March 27, 1998. The return on investment (property rental income
less property operating expenses divided by the average capital investment in
real estate) for these communities for the six months ended June 30, 1999, on an
average investment of $654 million was 8.3%. This return on investment is below
our projected expectations for 1999, however, these communities continue to be
upgraded, repositioned and selectively sold, which is expected to improve their
operating results over the long-term.
American Apartment Communities II, Inc. (AAC)
- ---------------------------------------------
The acquisition of 53 communities with 14,001 apartment homes on December 7,
1998 included in the statutory merger with AAC was approximately on target
with United Dominion's pro forma acquisition expectations during the first half
18
of 1999, providing an annualized first year return on investment of 8.7% on an
average investment of $781 million. In addition, these communities achieved
physical occupancy of 93.3% during this same period which is higher than United
Dominion's average physical occupancy primarily due to the California markets
included in this portfolio.
1999 Acquisitions
Included in this category are two communities with 496 apartment homes acquired
by United Dominion during the first half of 1999 which are projected to have a
first year average return on investment in the 9% range. These communities did
not have a material impact on 1999 results of operation.
Disposition Communities
Included in this category are the 29 communities with 8,021 apartment homes sold
as part of United Dominion's strategic repositioning (see Disposition of
Investments under Liquidity and Capital Resources) since January 1, 1998. The
communities sold during 1998 and 1999 had an annualized return on investment in
excess of 10%.
Development Communities
This represents the 1,646 homes developed at various times since January 1,
1998, which included the completion of three new communities and three
additional phases to existing communities. These communities did not have a
material impact on the results of operations for the first half of 1999. Once
stabilized, development communities are projected to generate an average return
on investment of approximatey 10%, however, the full impact on property
operating income is not realized until after the communities are stabilized,
which is generally six months after construction is completed.
All Communities
The operating performance of the 324 communities with 85,402 apartment homes for
the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, and 264 communities with 71,164
apartment homes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998, respectively,
is summarized in the chart below (dollars in thousands):

Physical occupancy 92.3% 91.3% 1.0% 92.1% 91.3% 0.8%
Due to the acquisition and development of 30,652 apartment homes since January
1, 1998, the increase in the weighted average number of apartment homes for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1999 resulted in significant increases in
property rental income and property operating expenses for both the three and
six months ended June 30, 1999.
Real Estate Depreciation
Real estate depreciation increased $5.9 million or 23.2% and $14.4 million or
30.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively over the
same period last year. This increase is directly attributable to the addition of
depreciable real estate assets as a result of United Dominion's acquisition,
development and capital expenditure programs during 1998 and 1999.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased $13.2 million and $28.4 million for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, over the same period last year as the
weighted average amount of debt employed during 1999 was higher than it was for
the same periods last year primarily due to debt assumed and issued during 1998
to fund United Dominion's investment activities. For the six month period, the
weighted average debt outstanding was $2.1 billion in 1999 versus $1.4 billion
in 1998 and for the three month period it was $2.1 billion in 1999 versus $1.5
billion in 1998. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, the
weighted average interest rate on this debt was 7.4%, reflecting no change from
the same period last year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,
total interest capitalized was $1.5 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
General and Administrative
During the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, general and administrative
expenses increased $210 thousand and $1.8 million, respectively over the same
period last year primarily due to (i) the added infrastructure costs incurred
due to the increased size of United Dominion, (ii) the change in accounting for
internal acquisition costs subsequent to March 19, 1998, and (iii) severance
compensation fully expensed during the first quarter of 1999.
Distributions to Preferred Shareholders
Distributions to preferred shareholders increased $3.8 million and $7.6 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively over the same
periods last year. The increase is the result of the issuance of 8 million
shares of 7.5% Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock on
December 7, 1998 in connection with the acquisition of AAC.
Inflation
United Dominion believes that the direct effects of inflation on United
Dominion's operations have been inconsequential.
Information Technology
In 1998, United Dominion Realty Trust joined with another public multifamily
real estate company (which was in the process of developing new on-site property
management and leasing automation systems) to capture, review and analyze data,
on-line in a centralized data base. We believe these new systems will enable us
to become a more efficient provider of a high quality living environment for our
current residents, and provide the scalability necessary to support future
growth. We intend to formalize this "joint venture" and to continue development
of these systems through the joint venture entity. Employees of the joint
venture partners who have significant related project management experience are
currently managing the software development process. The actual programming and
documentation of the software is being conducted by employees of the joint
venture and third party consultants under the supervision of these experienced
project leaders.
Current projections indicate that total development costs over a three-year
period will be approximately $7.5 million (including hardware costs and
expenses, the costs of employees and related overhead, and the costs of engaging
third party consultants) and that such development costs will be shared on an
equal basis by us and our joint venture partner. Once developed, we intend to
use the property management system in place of current property management
information systems for which we pay a license fee to third parties and we
intend to use the leasing automation system to make the lease application
process easier for residents and more efficient for the Company.
The property management system is expected to undergo an on-site test (i.e., a
"beta test") during the second quarter of 2000 and the system should be
functional by the fourth quarter of 2000. The leasing automation system is
currently in beta testing at two communities and we intend, if such testing is
successful, to implement the system during the first quarter of 2000.
19
Year 2000
The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of United Dominion's
computer programs or hardware that have date sensitive software or embedded
chips may recognize a date using "00"" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000. This could result in system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions
of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions or engage in similar normal business activities.
United Dominion continues to identify and address issues regarding the
transition to Year 2000, as it is dependent on computer systems and applications
to conduct its business. United Dominion has performed a thorough assessment of
its personal computers, desktop software and major applications and is in the
process of completing its server environment assessment. To ensure that United
Dominion completed a formalized and thorough assessment of its Year 2000 issues,
United Dominion engaged an outside consulting firm to conduct a Year 2000
assessment and develop a remediation plan. The plans covers four stages: (i)
inventory, (ii) assessment, (iii) remediation and (iv) testing and
certification. Because United Dominion operates in a structured, standardized
environment, the assessment indicated a high degree of Year 2000 compliance with
few items for remediation. All mission-critical applications have been
determined to be Year 2000 compliant. Desktop hardware and software are 100%
compliant as remediation of the non-compliant 10% was completed in July 1999.
None of the non-compliant issues identified were mission-critical.
United Dominion is commencing the assessment phase for non-IT operating
equipment at its communities (gates, security, telephone, elevator, HVAC systems
and other such systems). This assessment will be completed in August, 1999, with
any remediation to be completed by November 1, 1999.
United Dominion is also assessing the Year 2000 compliance of vendors and other
external relationships to determine the extent to which United Dominion may be
vulnerable to such parties' failure to resolve their own Year 2000 issues.
United Dominion has initiated formal communication with these parties. United
Dominion cannot ensure timely compliance of third parties and; therefore, could
be adversely affected by failure of a significant third party to become Year
2000 compliant. The effect, if any, on United Dominion's results of operations
from the failure of such third parties to be Year 2000 compliant is not
reasonably estimable.
United Dominion estimates that the total Year 2000 project cost will be
approximately $100,000, of which approximately 75% has been incurred as of June
30, 1999. Amounts expended to ensure Year 2000 compliance have been funded by
cash flows from operations and are not expected to have a material impact on
United Dominion's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
United Dominion believes that its Year 2000 initiatives are adequate to address
reasonably likely Year 2000 issues.

Failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in the failure of
certain normal business activities or operations. Management believes that, with
the implementation of new or upgraded business systems, as needed, and the
completion of the Year 2000 project as scheduled, the possibility of significant
interruptions of normal operations due to the failure of those systems will be
reduced. However, United Dominion is dependent on the power and
telecommunications infrastructure within the United States. The most reasonably
20
likely worst case scenario would be that United Dominion may experience
disruption in its operations if any of the third-party suppliers reported a
system failure. Although United Dominion's Year 2000 project will reduce the
level of uncertainty about the compliance and readiness of its material
third-party providers, due to the general uncertainty over Year 2000 readiness
of these third-party suppliers, United Dominion is unable to determine at this
time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact.
The final phase of United Dominion's Year 2000 project relates to a contingency
plan. United Dominion maintains contingency plans in the normal course of
business designed to be deployed in the event of various potential business
interruptions.
