ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

         THE COMPANY

         Home Properties of New York, Inc. ("Home  Properties" or the "Company")
         is a  self-administered  and self-managed  real estate investment trust
         ("REIT")  that owns,  manages,  acquires,  rehabilitates  and  develops
         apartment communities.  The Company's properties are regionally focused
         in the Northeastern,  Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern United States. It was
         formed  to  continue  and  expand  the   operations   of  Home  Leasing
         Corporation  ("Home Leasing").  The Company completed an initial public
         offering of  5,408,000  shares of common stock (the "IPO") on August 4,
         1994.

         The Company  conducts its business through Home Properties of New York,
         L.P. (the "Operating  Partnership"),  a New York limited partnership in
         which the Company held a 62.5% partnership  interest as of December 31,
         2000 (62.4% at December 31,  1999) and two  management  companies  (the
         "Management  Companies")  -  Home  Properties  Management,   Inc.  ("HP
         Management") and Home Properties Resident Services,  Inc. ("HP Resident
         Services")  (formerly  Conifer Realty  Corporation),  both of which are
         Maryland corporations.

         Home Properties, through its affiliates described above, as of December
         31, 2000,  operated 319  communities  with 50,912  apartment  units. Of
         these,  39,041 units in 147  communities are owned outright (the "Owned
         Properties"),  8,325 units in 136 communities are managed and partially
         owned  by the  Company  as  general  partner,  and  3,546  units  in 36
         communities  are managed for other owners  (collectively,  the "Managed
         Properties").  The Management Companies and the Operating  Partnership,
         to  a  limited  extent,  are  also  involved  in  certain   development
         activities.

         The Owned  Properties  and the Managed  Properties  (collectively,  the
         "Properties") are concentrated in the following market areas:

         The Company's mission is to provide investors with dependable financial
         returns  that  exceed  those of  comparable  investments.  The  Company
         intends to pursue this  mission in a socially  responsible  manner,  by
         remaining committed to improving the quality of life for its residents,
         enhancing  the broader  communities  in which the Company  operates and
         providing employees with opportunities for growth and accomplishment.

         The Company's business strategy includes: (i) aggressively managing and
         improving its  communities to achieve  increased net operating  income;
         (ii) acquiring additional apartment communities with attractive returns
         at prices  significantly below replacement costs; and (iii) maintaining
         a conservative  capital  structure  with cost  effective  access to the
         capital markets.

         STRUCTURE

         The Company was formed in November,  1993 as a Maryland corporation and
         is the general  partner of the Operating  Partnership.  On December 31,
         2000,  it owned a 62.5%  interest in the  Operating  Partnership  - one
         percent as  general  partner  and the  remainder  as a limited  partner
         through its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Home Properties Trust. A portion
         of the limited partner  interests held by Home  Properties  Trust as of
         December 31, 2000  consisted of all of the Class A Limited  Partnership
         Interests  (1,666,667  interests or 3.9% of the total  interests in the
         Operating  Partnership),  all of the Series B Limited Partnership Units
         (2,000,000  units or 4.7% of the total) and all of the Series C, D, and
         E Limited  Partnership  Units (1,150,000  units, or 2.7% of the total).
         Those preferred interests in the Operating  Partnership have rights and
         preferences  that mirror the rights and  preferences  of the holders of
         the related series of preferred shares in the Company held by the State
         of Michigan Retirement Systems, GE Capital Equity Investment,  Inc., an
         affiliate of Prudential Real Estate Investors,  Teachers  Insurance and
         Annuity  Association of America,  affiliates of AEW Capital  Management
         and Pacific Life  Insurance  Company,  and The Equitable Life Assurance
         Society of the United States.  The remaining units (21,143,312 or 50.1%
         of the total) held by Home  Properties  Trust have  basically  the same
         rights as the other  limited  partner  interests  (the  "Units") in the
         Operating   Partnership.   Those  other  Units  are  owned  by  certain
         individuals who acquired Units in the Operating  Partnership as partial
         consideration   for  their  interests  in  entities  owning   apartment
         communities purchased by the Operating Partnership,  as well as certain
         officers of the Company.

         The Operating  Partnership is a New York limited  partnership formed in
         December,  1993.  Holders  of Units in the  Operating  Partnership  may
         redeem a Unit for one share of the Company's common stock or cash equal
         to the fair market value at the time of the  redemption,  at the option
         of the Company.  Management  expects  that it will  continue to utilize
         Units  as  partial  consideration  for a  significant  portion  of  its
         acquisition properties.

         Both of the  Management  Companies  were  formed  to  comply  with  the
         technical  requirements  of federal income tax laws.  Both are Maryland
         corporations  and,  effective  January  1, 2001,  both have  elected to
         convert to taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Tax Relief Extension Act
         of 1999.  HP  Management  was formed in  January,  1994 and HP Resident
         Services  was formed in December,  1995 under the name  Conifer  Realty
         Corporation.  As of December 31, 2000, the Operating  Partnership  held
         95% of the economic interest in both Management Companies,  with Nelson
         and Norman  Leenhouts  (the  "Leenhoutses")  holding the remaining five
         percent interest.  The Management  Companies manage, for a fee, certain
         of  the  residential,  commercial  and  development  activities  of the
         Company  and  provide   construction,   development  and  redevelopment
         services for the Company.

         In  September  1997,  Home  Properties  Trust  ("QRS")  was formed as a
         Maryland  real estate trust and as a qualified  REIT  subsidiary,  with
         100% of its  shares  being  owned  by the  Company.  The  QRS has  been
         admitted  as a limited  partner of the  Operating  Partnership  and the
         Company  transferred  all  but  one  percent  of  its  interest  in the
         Operating Partnership to the QRS.

         The  Company  currently  has  approximately  2,100  employees  and  its
         executive  offices are located at 850 Clinton  Square,  Rochester,  New
         York 14604. Its telephone number is (716) 546-4900.

         OPERATING STRATEGIES

         The Company will continue to focus on enhancing the investment  returns
         of its  Properties  by: (i) acquiring  apartment  communities at prices
         below new  construction  costs and  repositioning  those properties for
         long-term   growth;   (ii)   reinforcing  its   decentralized   company
         orientation  by  encouraging  employees'  personal  improvement  and by
         providing extensive training; (iii) enhancing the quality of living for
         the  Company's  residents  by  improving  the  quality of  service  and
         physical amenities available at each community every year; (iv) readily
         adopting   new   technology   so  that  the  time  and  cost  spent  on
         administration  can be  decreased  and the time  spent  attracting  and
         serving  residents  can be  increased;  (v)  continuing  to utilize its
         written  "Pledge" of customer  satisfaction  that is the  foundation on
         which  the  Company  has  built its  name-brand  recognition;  and (vi)
         engaging in  aggressive  cost  controls and taking  advantage of volume
         discounts,  thus  benefiting  from economies of scale while  constantly
         improving the level of customer service.

         ACQUISITION, SALE AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

         The Company's core strategy is to grow primarily  through  acquisitions
         in geographic  regions that have similar  climates,  easy access to the
         Company's headquarters,  enough apartments available for acquisition to
         achieve a  critical  mass and  minimal  investment  ownership  by other
         apartment REITs.  Targeted  markets also possess other  characteristics
         similar to the Company's  existing markets,  including a limited amount
         of new construction, acquisition opportunities below replacement costs,
         a mature  housing stock and stable or moderate job growth.  The Company
         expects  that its growth will be focused in select  metropolitan  areas
         within the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern regions of the United
         States,  where  it  has  already  established  a  presence.   Continued
         geographic  specialization  is  expected  to have a  greater  impact on
         operating efficiencies than widespread accumulation of properties.  The
         Company will pursue  acquisition  of  individual  properties as well as
         larger portfolios.  It may also consider strategic investments in other
         apartment companies.

         The  Company  is also  contemplating  the sale of several of its mature
         communities.  The Company has  identified  about two dozen  communities
         with over 5,000 units for potential  sale. The total estimated value of
         these  communities is $200 million.  The majority of these  communities
         are in the Upstate New York markets of Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester.
         Others are spread over several  markets,  where they are less efficient
         to operate due to their remote  locations  and/or their small size. The
         Company will not sell,  however,  unless it achieves targeted prices at
         levels which would allow it to reinvest the proceeds at higher returns,
         either by repurchasing  shares of the Company's  common stock or making
         acquisitions with repositioning potential.  Several of these properties
         were originally  acquired  through UPREIT  transactions,  so that sales
         will have to be matched with suitable  acquisitions  using tax deferred
         exchanges.

         Effective  December 31, 2000, the Company sold its  affordable  housing
         development  operations  to  Conifer,  LLC.  With  the  growth  in  the
         Company's owned portfolio of market-rate  properties,  a conclusion was
         reached  that  the  affordable   development   activities   required  a
         disproportionate  allocation of financial and management resources. The
         Company intends to minimize its involvement in the complex  development
         and   re-development   of  apartment   communities   utilizing  various
         government   programs.   The  Company  retained   property   management
         operations  for  8,325  apartment  units  in  136  existing  affordable
         communities.   These   activities  are  expected  to  generate  ongoing
         management  fees and incentive  management  fees and  participation  in
         residual  value.  They also  increase the Company's  volume  purchasing
         ability,  provide a pipeline for future  acquisitions  and position the
         Company to build  market  rate or  affordable  communities  when and if
         market factors warrant.

         FINANCING AND CAPITAL STRATEGIES

         The Company intends to adhere to the following financing policies:  (i)
         maintaining a ratio of debt-to-total market  capitalization (total debt
         of the  Company  as a  percentage  of the market  value of  outstanding
         diluted common stock and Units plus total debt) of approximately 50% or
         less;  (ii)  utilizing  primarily  fixed rate debt;  (iii) varying debt
         maturities to avoid significant  exposure to interest rate changes upon
         refinancing;  and  (iv)  maintaining  a line of  credit  so that it can
         respond quickly to acquisition opportunities.

         On December 31, 2000, the Company's debt was approximately $833 million
         and the debt-to-total market  capitalization ratio was 40% based on the
         year-end closing price of the Company's stock at $27.9375. The weighted
         average interest rate on the Company's mortgage debt as of December 31,
         2000 was 7.4% and the weighted  average  maturity was  approximately 11
         years.  Debt  maturities  are  staggered.  As of December 31, 2000, the
         Company had an unsecured line of credit  facility from M&T Bank of $100
         million. This facility is available for acquisition and other corporate
         purposes and bears an interest rate at 1.25% over the  one-month  LIBOR
         rate. As of December 31, 2000, there were no outstanding  borrowings on
         the line of credit.

         Management  expects to  continue to fund a  significant  portion of its
         continued  growth by taking advantage of its UPREIT structure and using
         Units as  currency in  acquisition  transactions.  The  Company  issued
         approximately  $59 million worth of Units as partial  consideration  in
         acquisition transactions during 2000.

         The Company also intends to continue to structure other creative equity
         transactions to raise capital with limited  transaction costs. In 2000,
         $115  million  of Series C, D and E  Convertible  Cumulative  Preferred
         Stock  ("Series  C  Preferred",  "Series  D  Preferred"  or  "Series  E
         Preferred")  was issued in four private sales to Prudential Real Estate
         Investors,  Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America,  AEW
         Capital Management,  Pacific Life Insurance Company,  and The Equitable
         Life Assurance Society of the United States.

         Approximately  $57 million was also raised in 2000 under the  Company's
         Dividend  Reinvestment  and Direct Stock  Purchase Plan (the  "Dividend
         Reinvestment   Plan").   Effective   April  10,   2001,   the  Dividend
         Reinvestment  Plan will be  amended  to reduce  the  discount  from the
         current  market  price from 3% to 2%. The  maximum  amount  that can be
         invested  without the Company's  prior  permission will also be reduced
         from $5,000 to $1,000.  These changes were intended to minimize amounts
         raised  under  the  Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan  at a  time  when  the
         Company's  common stock is trading at below the  Company's  estimate of
         net asset value.

         In 2000,  the Company  also  announced a  1,000,000  share  increase in
         management's authorization to buy back the Company's outstanding common
         stock.  Shares may be repurchased  through the open market or privately
         negotiated transactions. The Company's strategy is to opportunistically
         repurchase  shares at a discount  to its  underlying  net asset  value,
         thereby continuing to build value for long-term shareholders.  In 2000,
         the Company  repurchased  468,600 of its shares of common  stock for an
         aggregate price of $12,664,000 (an average of $27.03 per share).

         COMPETITION

         The Company competes with other  multifamily  developers and other real
         estate  companies  in seeking  properties  for  acquisition,  potential
         residents  and land  for  development.  The  Company's  Properties  are
         primarily in developed  areas where there are other  properties  of the
         same type which directly compete for residents.  The Company,  however,
         believes  that its focus on  service  and  resident  satisfaction  will
         enable it to maintain its historic  occupancy levels.  The Company also
         believes that the moderate  level of new  construction  of  multifamily
         properties  in its  markets  in 2000 will not have a  material  adverse
         effect on its turnover rates,  occupancies or ability to increase rents
         and minimize operating expenses. To date, the Company has faced limited
         competition  in  acquiring   properties  from  other  REIT's  or  other
         operators   from  outside  the  region.   The  Company  may   encounter
         competition from others as it seeks attractive  properties in a broader
         geographic area. Given the perceived depth of available  opportunities,
         management  does not believe  that  increased  competition  will pose a
         significant problem.

         MARKET ENVIRONMENT

         The markets in which Home Properties  operates can be  characterized as
         stable, with moderate levels of job growth.  Occupancies are relatively
         high,  and new apartment  construction  activity is low relative to the
         existing  multifamily  rental housing  stock.  Zoning  restrictions,  a
         scarcity  of land  and high  construction  costs  make new  development
         difficult  to  justify  in  many  of  the  Company's   markets.   After
         considering the obsolescence of older communities and the conversion of
         rental  housing to  condominiums  or co-ops,  the Company views the net
         increase  in the  multifamily  rental  housing  stock in the  Company's
         markets as representing  only a fraction of the estimated number of new
         units needed to satisfy increased demand.

         New construction in the Company's  markets for the past two decades has
         been  limited,  with most of the  existing  housing  stock built before
         1980. In 2000, Home  Properties'  markets  represented 18% of the total
         estimated existing U.S.  multifamily housing stock, but only 10% of the
         country's estimated net new supply of multifamily housing units.

         An  analysis  of  future   multifamily  supply  compared  to  projected
         multifamily   demand  can  indicate  whether  a  particular  market  is
         tightening,  softening or in equilibrium.  The fourth to last column in
         the  Multifamily  Supply  and Demand  table on page 9 reflects  current
         estimated net new multifamily supply as a percentage of new multifamily
         demand  for the  Company's  markets  and  the  United  States.  Net new
         multifamily  supply as a percent of new multifamily  demand for 2000 in
         the Home  Properties'  markets  was  approximately  49%,  compared to a
         national average of 98%.

         The third to the last column in the Multifamily Supply and Demand table
         on page 9 shows the net new  multifamily  supply as percent of existing
         multifamily  housing stock.  In the Company's  markets,  net new supply
         only represents 0.6% of the existing  multifamily  housing stock.  This
         compares to the national  average net new multifamily  supply estimates
         at 1.0% of the multifamily housing stock.

         The information on the Market Demographics table on page 8 was compiled
         by the Company  from the sources  indicated  on the table.  The methods
         used includes estimates and, while the Company feels that the estimates
         are  reasonable,  there  can be no  assurance  that the  estimates  are
         accurate.   There  can  also  be  no  assurance   that  the  historical
         information  included  on the  table  will be  consistent  with  future
         trends.

(7) ESTIMATED 2000 NEW SUPPLY OF MULTIFAMILY =  Multifamily permits (2000 figures U.S. Census Bureau, Mfg. & Constr.
    Div., 5+ permits only) adjusted by the average % of permits resulting in a construction start (estimated at 95%).
(8) ESTIMATED  2000  MULTIFAMILY  OBSOLESCENCE  =  0.5%  of  2000 multifamily housing stock.
(9) Estimated 2000 NET NEW MULTIFAMILY SUPPLY = Estimated 2000 New Supply  of  Multifamily   minus  Estimated  2000
    multifamily obsolescence.
(10)Estimated 2000 NEW MULTIFAMILY  HOUSEHOLD DEMAND = Trailing 12 month job growth  (Nonfarm,  not seasonally  adjusted
    payroll employment  figures)  (12/31/99-12/31/00)  multiplied  by  the
    expected % of new household formations resulting from new jobs (66.7%)  and the % of  multifamily  households
    in each market (based on 1990 U.S. Census figures).
(11)EXPECTED  EXCESS  DEMAND  =  Estimated  2000  New  Multifamily Household  Demand  minus  Estimated  2000 Net New
    Multifamily Supply.
(12)EXPECTED  EXCESS  REVENUE  GROWTH  =  Expected  Excess  Demand divided by 2000 Multifamily  Housing Stock. This percentage
    is expected to reflect the  relative  impact that  changes in the supply and demand for  multifamily  housing units
    will have on occupancy rates and/or rental rates in each market, beyond the
    impact  caused by broader  economic  factors such as inflation
    and interest rates.




         REGULATION

         Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to the Properties
         and changes in the laws and  regulations,  or their  interpretation  by
         agencies and the courts,  occur  frequently.  Under the Americans  with
         Disabilities   Act  of  1990  (the   "ADA"),   all   places  of  public
         accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements related
         to access and use by disabled  persons.  In addition,  the Fair Housing
         Amendments  Act of 1988 (the  "FHAA")  requires  apartment  communities
         first   occupied   after  March  13,  1990  to  be  accessible  to  the
         handicapped.  Non-compliance  with the ADA or the FHAA could  result in
         the  imposition  of fines or an award of damages to private  litigants.
         Management  believes that the Owned  Properties  are  substantially  in
         compliance with present ADA and FHAA requirements.

         Under various laws and  regulations  relating to the  protection of the
         environment,  an owner of real  estate may be held liable for the costs
         of removal or  remediation  of certain  hazardous  or toxic  substances
         located  on or in its  property.  These  laws  often  impose  liability
         without regard to whether the owner was  responsible  for, or even knew
         of, the presence of such  substances.  The presence of such  substances
         may adversely  affect the owner's  ability to rent or sell the property
         or  use  the   property  as   collateral.   Independent   environmental
         consultants  have  conducted  "Phase  I"  environmental  audits  (which
         involve  visual  inspection  but not soil or  groundwater  analysis) on
         substantially  all of the Owned  Properties.  Phase I audit reports did
         not  reveal  any  environmental  liability  that  would have a material
         adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company is not aware of
         any  environmental  liability  that  management  believes  would have a
         material  adverse  effect on the Company.  There is no  assurance  that
         Phase I reports  would  reveal all  environmental  liabilities  or that
         environmental  conditions  not known to the Company may exist now or in
         the  future  which  would  result  in  liability  to  the  Company  for
         remediation  or fines,  either under  existing laws and  regulations or
         future changes to such requirements.

         Under the  Federal  Fair  Housing  Act and  state  fair  housing  laws,
         discrimination on the basis of certain protected classes is prohibited.
         Violation  of these laws can  result in  significant  damage  awards to
         victims.   The  Company  has  a  strong  policy  against  any  kind  of
         discriminatory   behavior   and   trains   its   employees   to   avoid
         discrimination  or  the  appearance  of  discrimination.  There  is  no
         assurance,  however,  that an employee  will not violate the  Company's
         policy against  discrimination and thus violate fair housing laws. This
         could subject the Company to legal actions and the possible  imposition
         of damage awards.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         As of  December  31,  2000,  the  Owned  Properties  consisted  of  147
         multifamily  residential  properties containing 39,041 apartment units.
         At the time of the IPO  (August  4,  1994),  Home  Properties  owned 11
         communities  containing 3,065 units and simultaneously with the closing
         of the IPO  acquired an  additional  four  communities  containing  926
         units.  From the time just prior to the IPO to December 31,  2000,  the
         Company  therefore  experienced a compounded  annualized growth rate of
         49% in the number of apartment units it owned. In 2000, Home Properties
         acquired 5,384  apartment  units in 22 communities for a total purchase
         price of approximately $328 million.

         The Owned  Properties are generally  located in established  markets in
         suburban neighborhoods and are well maintained and well leased. Average
         economic  occupancy at the Owned  Properties  held  throughout 1999 and
         2000 was 94.7% for 2000.  The Owned  Properties  are  typically two and
         three story garden style apartment buildings in landscaped settings and
         a majority  are of brick or other  masonry  construction.  The  Company
         believes  that its  strategic  focus on appealing to middle  income and
         senior  residents  and the quality of the  services it provides to such
         residents  result  in low  turnover.  Average  turnover  at  the  Owned
         Properties was  approximately  41.5% for 2000,  which is  significantly
         below the national average of 65% for garden apartments.

         Resident leases are generally for one year terms and security  deposits
         equal to one month's rent are generally required.

         Certain of the Owned Properties secure mortgage loans.  See
         Schedule III contained herein.

         The table on the following pages  illustrates  certain of the important
         characteristics of the Owned Properties as of December 31, 2000.

         PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT

         Management  believes that new construction of market rate multifamily
         apartments is not economically  feasible in most of its
         markets.  Therefore,  Home Properties'  prior  development and
         redevelopment  activities were limited to  government-assisted
         multifamily  housing. In 1996, the Operating  Partnership  acquired
         substantially all of the assets of C.O.F., Inc. (formerly
         Conifer   Realty,   Inc.)  and  Conifer   Development,   Inc.
         (collectively,   "Conifer"),   a  developer   and  manager  of
         government-assisted multifamily housing.

         Effective  December 31, 2000, the Company sold its  affordable  housing
         development  operations to Conifer, LLC. Conifer, LLC is led by Richard
         J.  Crossed,  a former  Executive  Vice  President  and director of the
         Company. The Company retained property management  operations for 8,325
         apartment units in 136 existing affordable communities.

         The Company has retained the ability to develop new  communities,  both
         affordable  and  market  rate,  but  does  not  plan to  focus  on this
         activity.  Rather, it plans to engage in development activity only on a
         very selective basis.

         PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

         As of December 31, 2000, the Managed  Properties  consist of: (i) 8,325
         apartment  units where Home  Properties  is the general  partner of the
         entity that owns the property;  (ii) 3,546  apartment units managed for
         others;  (iii) commercial  properties which contain  approximately  1.0
         million  square  feet of gross  leasable  area;  (iv) a master  planned
         community  known as Gananda;  (v) a 140-lot  Planned  Unit  Development
         known as College Greene;  (vi) a 202-lot Planned Unit Development known
         as Riverton;  and (vii) 153 acres of vacant land in Old Brookside,  the
         development of which,  if it occurs,  will be managed by HP Management.
         Management  fees are based on a percentage of rental  revenues or costs
         and, in certain cases,  revenues from sales. The Company may pursue the
         management of additional  properties not owned by the Company, but will
         only do so when  such  additional  properties  can be  effectively  and
         efficiently  managed  in  conjunction  with other  properties  owned or
         managed by Home Properties.

         The table on the following  pages details  managed  communities  broken
         down by market area.

         book value equal to or greater than ten percent of the total assets of
         the  Company or would have  accounted  for ten  percent or more of the
         Company's aggregate gross revenues for 2000.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The  Company  is  a  party  to  certain  legal  proceedings.  All  such
         proceedings,  taken  together,  are not  expected  to have a  material
         adverse  effect on the  Company's  liquidity,  financial  position  or
         results of  operations.  The  Company is also  subject to a variety of
         legal actions for personal  injury or property  damage  arising in the
         ordinary  course  of its  business,  most  of  which  are  covered  by
         liability  insurance.  While the resolution of these matters cannot be
         predicted with certainty,  management  believes that the final outcome
         of such legal  proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
         effect on the Company's  liquidity,  financial  position or results of
         operations.

Item 6.  SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA (CONTINUED)
         -----------------------------------

(1)      Management considers funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate
         measure of performance of an equity REIT. Effective January 1, 2000 the
         National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts  ("NAREIT")
         clarified  the White Paper  definition  of FFO as income  (loss) before
         gains  (losses)  from the sale of  property  and  extraordinary  items,
         before minority interest in the Operating Partnership, plus real estate
         deprecation.  Management  believes  that in order to facilitate a clear
         understanding  of the  combined  historical  operating  results  of the
         Company,  FFO should be  considered in  conjunction  with net income as
         presented in the consolidated  financial  statements included elsewhere
         herein. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities
         accordance  with generally  accepted  accounting  principles and is not
         necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. FFO should
         not be considered as an  alternative  to net income as an indication of
         the Company's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

         For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Company's previously reported
         FFO excluded a nonrecurring  loss on  available-for-sale  securities of
         $2,123 and a non-recurring acquisition expense of $6,225 in conformance
         with the NAREIT definition of FFO calculations then in place ("Original
         Definition").  The Company has adopted  NAREIT's  new FFO  calculation,
         pursuant to NAREIT's White Paper dated October 1999, which modifies the
         FFO calculation to include  certain  nonrecurring  charges  ("Clarified
         Definition"). Although both FFO calculations are presented in the table
         below,  the Company  believes the  comparison of FFO using the Original
         Definition  represents  the  best  guide  to  investors  of  comparable
         operations and growth between years.

         The  calculation  of FFO for the previous  five years are  presented as
         follows:

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 2000 TO YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
         1999.

         The Company owned 95 communities with 23,530 apartment units throughout
         1999 and 2000 where comparable  operating results are available for the
         years  presented  (the "2000  Core  Properties").  For the year  ending
         December  31,  2000,  the 2000 Core  Properties  showed an  increase in
         rental  revenues of 5.8% and a net  operating  income  increase of 7.6%
         over  the 1999  year-end  period.  Property  level  operating  expenses
         increased 5.3%. Average economic occupancy for the 2000 Core Properties
         increased  from  94.6% to 94.7%,  with  average  monthly  rental  rates
         increasing 5.7% to $701.

         A summary of the 2000 Core Property net operating income is as follows:

         During 2000, the Company  acquired a total of 5,384  apartment units in
         22 newly-acquired communities (the "2000 Acquisition Communities").  In
         addition,  the  Company  experienced  full year  results for the 10,127
         apartment  units in 30  apartment  communities  (the "1999  Acquisition
         Communities")  acquired  during 1999.  The inclusion of these  acquired
         communities   generally   accounted  for  the  significant  changes  in
         operating results for the year ended December 31, 2000.

         The Company  also  disposed of one  property  during  2000,  a 150-unit
         community  located  in  Pittsburgh,  Pennsylvania,  which  had  partial
         results for 2000 (the "2000 Disposed Community").

         For the year ended December 31, 2000,  operating  income (income before
         loss on disposition of property,  minority  interest and  extraordinary
         item) increased by $25,246,000 when compared to the year ended December
         31, 1999.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to the  following
         factors: an increase in rental income of $81,269,000 and an increase in
         other income of $3,316,000.  These changes were partially  offset by an
         increase  in  operating  and  maintenance  expense of  $32,834,000,  an
         increase  in  general  and  administrative  expense of  $2,539,000,  an
         increase  in   interest   expense  of   $17,234,000,   an  increase  in
         depreciation    and   amortization   of   $15,080,000   and   loss   on
         available-for-sale  securities and  non-recurring  acquisition  expense
         totaling $8,348,000 only affecting 1999.

         Of  the   $81,269,000   increase  in  rental  income,   $47,376,000  is
         attributable  to the 1999  Acquisition  Communities  and $24,204,000 is
         attributable to the 2000 Acquisition  Communities,  offset in part by a
         $516,000  reduction  attributable to the 2000 Disposed  Community.  The
         balance of $10,205,000 is a 5.8% increase from the 2000 Core Properties
         due primarily to an increase of 5.7% in weighted  average rental rates,
         plus an increase in occupancy from 94.6% to 94.7%.

         Property  other  income,   which  consists  primarily  of  income  from
         operation  of  laundry  facilities,  administrative  fees,  garage  and
         carport rentals net profits from corporate apartments and miscellaneous
         charges  to  residents,  increased  in  2000  by  $4,511,000.  Of  this
         increase,   $1,847,000  is   attributable   to  the  1999   Acquisition
         Communities,   $884,000  is  attributable   to  the  2000   Acquisition
         Communities  and  $1,806,000  represents a 32.2% increase from the 2000
         Core Properties,  offset in part by a $26,000 reduction attributable to
         the 2000 Disposed Community.  The increase for the 2000 Core Properties
         included a one-time  benefit from a favorable  insurance  settlement of
         $239,000. Without this, property other income still increased 28%.

         Interest and dividend income  increased in 2000 by $654,000,  primarily
         attributable to an increase in loans to one of its Management Companies
         used to acquire land held in inventory for future development,  as well
         as  increased  levels of cash  reserves  invested.  Dividend  income of
         $714,000 in 1999 from  investments  in  marketable  securities  did not
         continue in 2000.

         Other  income  reflects  the  net  contribution   from  management  and
         development  activities after allocating  certain overhead and interest
         expense. The net contribution decreased by $1,849,000, or 64% from 1999
         to 2000. Gross  development  fees revenues  decreased  $1,462,000,  and
         gross management fee revenues increased $80,000.

         Effective  December 31, 2000, the Company sold its  affordable  housing
         development  operations  to the key  personnel  that ran the  division.
         While the selling price of  approximately  $6,700,000  was close to the
         book value of the  related  assets  that were sold,  after  transaction
         costs, a loss on sale was incurred of $924,000.

         As a result,  going  forward,  development  fee income ($4.8 million in
         2000) should essentially  disappear,  with a corresponding  decrease in
         general and  administrative  costs of approximately  $2.6 million,  all
         netted and reported in other  income.  The proceeds  from the sale will
         temporarily produce increased interest income before those proceeds are
         reinvested on a longer term basis in property acquisitions.

         Of the  $32,834,000  increase in operating  and  maintenance  expenses,
         $20,354,000  is  attributable  to  the  1999  Acquisition  Communities,
         $8,604,000 is  attributable to the 2000  Acquisition  Communities and a
         reduction of $310,000 is attributable  to the 2000 Disposed  Community.
         The  balance for the 2000 Core  Properties,  a  $4,186,000  increase in
         operating  expenses or 5.3%,  is primarily a result of increases in gas
         utilities,  personnel  expenses,  property  insurance  and real  estate
         taxes.

         Increases in utility expenses were a large contributor to operating and
         maintenance  expense  increases  for the  year,  and will  continue  to
         unfavorably  affect  results  in 2001.  Natural  gas  prices  were very
         volatile  in 2000.  While it has always  been the  Company's  policy to
         limit some of its exposure to this volatility by purchasing fixed price
         contracts,  the Company's  past  experience has been that this has been
         expensive insurance.

         Looking  back the last ten years,  the  prices of natural  gas has been
         relatively  stable.  Historically,  at the  beginning  of each  heating
         season, rates experienced some pressures but started settling back down
         around January.  The 1999/2000  heating season did not follow this same
         pattern.  Rates  continued to climb during the summer months instead of
         leveling  off. This unusual  pattern made it more  difficult to execute
         fixed price contracts.  the Company has previously revised the earnings
         outlook  for  2001,   indicating   utility   costs  will   increase  by
         approximately $5,500,000.

         The months of  December,  2000 and  January,  2001  yielded  prices for
         natural gas topping out at over $10 per  decatherm.  For  deliveries in
         March, 2001 the price has reduced to approximately $5.00 per decatherm.
         The Company is planning  during March  through May of 2001 to negotiate
         fixed pricecontracts for close to 90% of its exposure for the 2001/2002
         heating season.

         Management of the Company remains optimistic that these higher expenses
         will  eventually be absorbed by our  residents.  Further rent increases
         have been passed on to residents as leases (which  typically have a one
         year term) are renewed.  The greatest  opportunity  will be during late
         spring  and  summer of 2001,  when a large  percentage  of  leases  are
         scheduled for renewal.

         The operating  expense  ratio (the ratio of operating  and  maintenance
         expense compared to rental and property other income) for the 2000 Core
         Properties  was 43.0% and 43.5% for 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  This
         0.5%  reduction  is a result of the 6.6%  increase in total  rental and
         property other income  achieved  through ongoing efforts to upgrade and
         reposition properties for maximum potential.  In general, the Company's
         operating  expense ratio is higher than that experienced in other parts
         of the country due to relatively  high real estate taxes in its markets
         and the  Company's  practice,  typical  in its  markets,  of  including
         heating expenses in base rent.

         General and administrative expenses increased in 2000 by $2,539,000, or
         24% from  $10,696,000  in 1999 to  $13,235,000  in 2000. As the Company
         expands  geographically,  travel and lodging  expenses have  increased,
         along with expenses associated with new and expanding regional offices.
         In addition, personnel costs have increased to handle the growing owned
         portfolio,  which  increased  in size by 15% as of  December  31,  2000
         compared to a year ago. The percentage of G&A compared to total revenue
         was 4.1% for 2000 compared to 4.6% for 1999.

         Interest  expense  increased in 2000 by  $17,234,000 as a result of the
         acquisition of the 2000 Acquisition  Communities and full year interest
         expense  for the 1999  Acquisition  Communities.  The 1999  Acquisition
         Communities,  costing in excess of  $480,000,000,  were  acquired  with
         $203,000,000  of assumed  debt in addition to the use of UPREIT  Units.
         The 2000  Acquisition  Communities,  costing in excess of $322,000,000,
         were acquired with $163,000,000 of assumed debt, in addition to the use
         of UPREIT  Units.  In  addition,  amortization  from  deferred  charges
         relating to the financing of properties  totaling $566,000 and $516,000
         was included in interest expense for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         During 2000, the Company  reported a loss on disposition of property of
         $1,386,000.  This  includes  $417,000  from the  sale of Payne  Hill in
         Pittsburgh,   $924,000  from  the  sale  of  the   affordable   housing
         development  business  and  $45,000  from the  sale of a small  general
         partnership interest.

         COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED  DECEMBER 31,
         1998.

         The Company owned 62 communities with 14,048 apartment units throughout
         1998 and 1999 where comparable  operating results are available for the
         years  presented  (the "1999  Core  Properties").  For the year  ending
         December  31,  1999,  the 1999 Core  Properties  showed an  increase in
         rental  revenues of 5.3% and a net  operating  income  increase of 9.0%
         over  the 1998  year-end  period.  Property  level  operating  expenses
         increased 1.7%. Average economic occupancy for the 1999 Core Properties
         increased  from  94.0% to 94.5%,  with  average  monthly  rental  rates
         increasing 4.8% to $661.

         A summary of the 1999 Core Property net operating income is as follows:

         During 1999, the Company  acquired a total of 10,127 apartment units in
         30 newly-acquired communities (the "1999 Acquisition Communities").  In
         addition,  the  Company  experienced  full year  results  for the 9,632
         apartment units in 34 newly acquired  apartment  communities (the "1998
         Acquisition  Communities") acquired during 1998. The inclusion of these
         acquired communities generally accounted for the significant changes in
         operating results for the year ended December 31, 1999.

         The  Company  also  disposed  of one  property,  a 35,000  square  foot
         ancillary shopping center located adjacent to a multi-family community,
         which had partial results for 1999 (the 1999 "Disposed Communities").

         For the year ended December 31, 1999,  operating  income (income before
         loss on disposition of property,  minority  interest and  extraordinary
         item) increased by $11,060,000 when compared to the year ended December
         31, 1998.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to the  following
         factors: an increase in rental income of $80,034,000 and an increase in
         other income of $5,186,000.  These changes were partially  offset by an
         increase  in  operating  and  maintenance  expense of  $32,064,000,  an
         increase  in  general  and  administrative  expense of  $4,011,000,  an
         increase  in  interest  expense  of  $15,578,000  and  an  increase  in
         depreciation   and   amortization   of   $14,159,000   and  a  loss  on
         available-for-sale  securities and  non-recurring  acquisition  expense
         totaling $8,348,000 not previously incurred.

         Of  the   $80,034,000   increase  in  rental  income,   $35,554,000  is
         attributable  to the 1998  Acquisition  Communities  and $39,295,000 is
         attributable to the 1999 Acquisition  Communities,  offset in part by a
         $155,000  reduction  attributable to the 1999 Disposed  Community.  The
         balance of $5,340,000 is a 5.3% increase from the 1999 Core  Properties
         due primarily to an increase of 4.8% in weighted  average rental rates,
         plus an increase in occupancy from 94.0% to 94.5%.

         Property  other  income,   which  consists  primarily  of  income  from
         operation  of  laundry  facilities,  administrative  fees,  garage  and
         carport rentals and  miscellaneous  charges to residents,  increased in
         1999 by $3,264,000. Of this increase, $1,358,000 is attributable to the
         1998  Acquisition  Communities,  $1,191,000 is attributable to the 1999
         Acquisition  Communities and $439,000  represents a 15.6% increase from
         the  1999  Core  Properties,  offset  in  part by a  $28,000  reduction
         attributable  to the 1999  Disposed  Community.  In addition,  $304,000
         represents  the  increase in the net  results for limited  partnerships
         accounted for on the equity method.

         Interest and dividend income increased in 1999 by $1,990,000, primarily
         attributable to an increase in construction  loans and advances made to
         affiliated tax credit  development  partnerships,  as well as increased
         levels of cash  reserves  invested.  Dividend  income of  $714,000  and
         $147,000 in 1999 and 1998, respectively, from investments in marketable
         securities, were not expected to continue into 2000.

         Other  income  reflects  the  net  contribution   from  management  and
         development  activities after allocating  certain overhead and interest
         expense. The net contribution  decreased by $68,000, or 2% from 1998 to
         1999.  Increased  activities in government assisted housing contributed
         to an 11.5% annual  increase in gross  management and  development  fee
         revenues.  These  revenue  gains were  offset by  increased  outlays to
         expand the staff and carrying costs  associated  with land in inventory
         for future development.

         Of the  $32,064,000  increase in operating  and  maintenance  expenses,
         $16,302,000  is  attributable  to  the  1998  Acquisition  Communities,
         $14,980,000 is attributable to the 1999  Acquisition  Communities and a
         reduction of $31,000 is  attributable  to the 1999 Disposed  Community.
         The  balance  for the 1999 Core  Properties,  an  $813,000  increase in
         operating  expenses  of 1.7%,  is  primarily a result of  increases  in
         utility expenses, real estate taxes, and snow removal costs.

         The operating  expense  ratio (the ratio of operating  and  maintenance
         expense compared to rental and property other income) for the 1999 Core
         Properties  was 44.8% and 46.5% for 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  This
         1.7%  reduction  is a result of the 5.6%  increase in total  rental and
         property other income  achieved  through ongoing efforts to upgrade and
         reposition properties for maximum potential.  In general, the Company's
         operating  expense ratio is higher than that experienced in other parts
         of the country due to relatively  high real estate taxes in its markets
         and the  Company's  practice,  typical  in its  markets,  of  including
         heating expenses in base rent. The exposure to savings in heating costs
         have  been  reduced  as the  number of units in the  entire  portfolio,
         including  heat in base rent, has been reduced from 85% at December 31,
         1998 to 70% at December 31, 1999.

         General and administrative expenses increased in 1999 by $4,011,000, or
         60% from  $6,685,000  in 1998 to  $10,696,000  in 1999.  As the Company
         expands  geographically,  travel and lodging  expenses have  increased,
         along with expenses associated with new and expanding regional offices.
         In addition, personnel costs have increased to handle the growing owned
         portfolio,  which  increased  in size by 41% as of  December  31,  1999
         compared to a year ago. The percentage of G&A compared to total revenue
         was 4.6% and 4.5% for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Interest  expense  increased in 1999 by  $15,578,000 as a result of the
         acquisition of the 1999 Acquisition  Communities and full year interest
         expense  for the 1998  Acquisition  Communities.  The 1998  Acquisition
         Communities,  costing in excess of  $376,000,000,  were  acquired  with
         $81,000,000 of assumed debt in addition to the use of UPREIT Units. The
         1999 Acquisition Communities,  costing in excess of $480,000,000,  were
         acquired with  $203,000,000  of assumed debt, in addition to the use of
         UPREIT  Units.   Amortization   relating  to  interest  rate  reduction
         agreements  of $198,000 and  $335,000 was included in interest  expense
         during 1999 and 1998,  respectively.  In  addition,  amortization  from
         deferred  charges  relating to the  financing  of  properties  totaling
         $516,000 and  $457,000  was  included in interest  expense for 1999 and
         1998, respectively.  Finally, $294,000 of unamortized fees related to a
         standby  loan  facility,  which  allowed  the  Company  to enter into a
         non-contingent  contract for a 17 property portfolio acquisition,  were
         written off during the third  quarter of 1998, as the facility was only
         partially used and quickly repaid.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The  Company's   principal   liquidity   demands  are  expected  to  be
         distributions  to the common and preferred  stockholders  and Operating
         Partnership   unitholders,   capital   improvements   and  repairs  and
         maintenance for the properties,  acquisition of additional  properties,
         stock  repurchases and debt repayments.  The Company may also engage in
         transactions  whereby it acquires  equity  ownership in other public or
         private companies that own portfolios of apartment communities.

         The  Company  intends  to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements
         through net cash flows provided by operating activities and the line of
         credit.  The  Company  considers  its  ability to  generate  cash to be
         adequate to meet all operating  requirements and make  distributions to
         its  stockholders  in  accordance  with the  provisions of the Internal
         Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to REITs.

         To the extent that the Company does not satisfy its long-term liquidity
         requirements  through net cash flows  provided by operating  activities
         and the line of credit  described  below,  it intends  to satisfy  such
         requirements  through the issuance of UPREIT  Units,  proceeds from the
         Dividend  Reinvestment  Plan  ("DRIP"),  property  debt  financing,  or
         issuing  additional common shares or shares of the Company's  preferred
         stock.  As of December 31, 2000, the Company owned 29 properties,  with
         4,470 apartment units, which were unencumbered by debt.

         In May,  1998,  the  Company's  Form  S-3  Registration  Statement  was
         declared  effective  relating to the  issuance of up to $413.8  million
         shares of common stock or other  securities.  The available  balance on
         the shelf registration statement at December 31, 2000 was $227,390,000.

         In September,  1999,  the Company  completed the sale of $50 million of
         Series B Preferred stock in a private transaction with GE Capital.  The
         Series B Preferred  stock carries an annual  dividend rate equal to the
         greater of 8.36% or the actual  dividend paid on the  Company's  common
         shares into which the preferred shares can be converted.  The stock has
         a  liquidation  preference of $25.00 per share,  a conversion  price of
         $29.77 per share, and a five-year, non-call provision.

         In December,  1999, the Class A limited  partnership  interests held by
         the  State  of  Michigan   Retirement  Systems  (originally  issued  in
         December,  1996 for $35 million) were converted to Series A Convertible
         Cumulative  Preferred  shares  ("Series A Preferred")  which retain the
         same material  rights and  preferences  that were  associated  with the
         limited partnership interests. The conversion had no effect on reported
         results of  operations  and  permits  the  Company to  continue  to use
         favorable tax depreciation methods.

         In May and June, 2000, the Company completed the sale of $60 million of
         Series C Preferred  Stock in a private  transaction  with affiliates of
         Prudential Real Estate Investors ("Prudential"), Teachers Insurance and
         Annuity Association of America ("Teachers"),  affiliates of AEW Capital
         Management and Pacific Life Insurance  Company.  The Series C Preferred
         Stock carries an annual  dividend rate equal to the greater of 8.75% or
         the actual dividend paid on the company's  common shares into which the
         preferred shares can be converted.  The stock has a conversion price of
         $30.25 per share and a five-year,  non-call  provision.  As part of the
         Series C Preferred Stock  transaction,  the Company also issued 240,000
         warrants  to  purchase  common  shares at a price of $30.25  per share,
         expiring in five years.

         In June, 2000, the Company  completed the sale of $25 million of series
         D Preferred  Stock in a private  transaction  with The  Equitable  Life
         Assurance  Society of the United States.  The Series D Preferred  Stock
         carries an annual  dividend  rate equal to the greater of 8.775% or the
         actual  dividend  paid on the  Company's  common  shares into which the
         preferred shares can be converted.  The stock has a conversion price of
         $30 per share and a five-year, no-call provision.

         In December,  2000,  the Company  completed  the sale of $30 million of
         Series  E  Preferred  Stock  in  a  private  transaction,   again  with
         affiliates of Prudential  and  Teachers.  The Series E Preferred  Stock
         carries an annual  dividend  rate equal to the  greater of 8.55% or the
         actual  dividend  paid on the  Company's  common  shares into which the
         preferred shares can be converted.  The stock has a conversion price of
         $31.60 per share and a five-year,  non-call provision.  In addition, as
         part of the Series E Preferred  Stock  transaction,  the Company issued
         warrants to  purchase  285,000  common  shares at a price of $31.60 per
         share, expiring in five years.

         In anticipation of the issuance of convertible  preferred securities in
         May, 2000, the Company  obtained an investment grade rating from Fitch,
         Inc. The Company was  assigned an initial  corporate  credit  rating of
         "BBB" (Triple-B), with a rating of "BBB-" (Triple-B Minus) for Series C
         through E convertible preferred stock.

         The issuance of UPREIT Units for property acquisitions  continues to be
         a significant source of capital.  During 2000, 3,583 apartment units in
         eight  separate   transactions  were  acquired  for  a  total  cost  of
         $203,000,000,  using UPREIT Units valued at  approximately  $59,000,000
         with the  balance  paid in cash or assumed  debt.  During  1999,  8,147
         apartment units in four separate transactions were acquired for a total
         cost of  $389,000,000,  using  UPREIT  Units  valued  at  approximately
         $149,000,000 with the balance paid in cash or assumed debt.

         In 1997, the Company's Board of Directors  approved a stock  repurchase
         program under which the Company may repurchase up to one million shares
         of its outstanding common stock. The Board's action did not establish a
         target price or a specific  timetable for  repurchase.  At December 31,
         1999, there was approval remaining to purchase 795,100 shares. In 2000,
         the Board of Directors approved a 1,000,000-share increase in the stock
         repurchase program. During 2000, the Company repurchased 468,600 shares
         at a cost of $12,664,000.  Approval to repurchase  1,326,500  shares of
         common stock  remains at December 31,  2000.  With shares  trading at a
         significant  discount  to internal  calculations  of net asset value of
         $32.50 per share, the Company anticipates  increasing activity of share
         repurchases during 2001.

         In November,  1995,  the Company  established  a Dividend  Reinvestment
         Plan. The Plan provides the  stockholders of the Company an opportunity
         to  automatically  invest their cash dividends at a discount of 3% from
         the market price. In addition,  eligible  participants may make monthly
         payments or other voluntary cash investments in shares of common stock,
         typically purchased at discounts,  which have varied between 2% and 3%.
         During  1999,  $49,000,000  of common stock was issued under this plan,
         with an additional $57,000,000 of common stock issued in 2000.

         The DRIP has been amended, effective April 10, 2001, in order to reduce
         dilution from issuing new shares at or below the  underlying  net asset
         value. The discount on reinvested dividends and optional cash purchases
         will be reduced from 3% to 2%. The maximum monthly investment  (without
         receiving  approval  from the Company) is being  reduced from $5,000 to
         $1,000.  Management  believes  that these  changes  will  significantly
         reduce participation in the Plan. However, if the volume is still large
         after a few  months  transition  period,  the  Company  will  shift  to
         fulfilling  investment orders with open market  purchases,  rather than
         continuing to issue new shares.

         As of December  31, 2000,  the Company had an unsecured  line of credit
         from  M&T  Bank  of  $100,000,000   with  no  outstanding   borrowings.
         Borrowings under the facility bear interest at 1.25% over the one-month
         LIBOR rate. The line of credit expires on September 1, 2002.

         As of December 31, 2000,  the weighted  average rate of interest on the
         Company's  mortgage debt is 7.4% and the weighted  average  maturity of
         such indebtedness is approximately eleven years.  Mortgage debt of $833
         million  was  outstanding  with 99% at fixed  rates  of  interest  with
         staggered  maturities.  This limits the exposure to changes in interest
         rates,  minimizing the effect of interest rate  fluctuations on results
         of operations and financial condition.

         The Company's net cash provided by operating  activities increased from
         $90,526,000  for the year ended December 31, 1999 to  $127,197,000  for
         the year ended December 31, 2000. The increase was  principally  due to
         the acquisition of the 1999 and 2000 Acquisition Communities.

         Net cash used in investing  activities  decreased from  $190,892,000 in
         1999 to  $178,445,000  in  2000.  The  level  of  properties  purchased
         decreased in 2000 to $328 million from $487  million,  while the amount
         of mortgages assumed and UPREIT units issued decreased by $131 million,
         such that the net cash invested in properties decreased, accounting for
         most of the year over year decrease.

         The Company's net cash provided by financing  activities decreased from
         $71,662,000  in 1999 to  $56,955,000  in  2000.  The  major  source  of
         financing in 2000 was  $168,462,000 of proceeds from sales of preferred
         and common stock used to fund property  acquisitions and additions.  In
         1999,  proceeds from the sale of preferred stock,  common stock and net
         debt  proceeds  totaling   $145,987,000  were  used  to  fund  property
         acquisitions and additions.

         CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS

         Total capital  improvement  expenditures  increased from $61,034,000 in
         1999 to $92,603,000 in 2000. Of the $92,603,000 in total  expenditures,
         $9,258,000 is  attributable  to the 2000  Acquisition  Communities  and
         $28,438,000 is attributable to the 1999  Acquisition  Communities.  The
         balance of $54,907,000 is allocated between the 2000 Core Properties of
         $54,041,000 and $866,000 for corporate office expenditures.

         Recurring, non-revenue enhancing capital replacements typically include
         carpeting  and  tile,  appliances,  HVAC  equipment,  new  roofs,  site
         improvements and various exterior  building  improvements.  Funding for
         these capital  replacements  are provided by cash flows from  operating
         activities.  The Company estimates that during 2000, approximately $375
         per unit was spent on capital replacements to maintain the condition of
         its properties.

         The schedule below summarizes the breakdown of capital improvements:



                                                                            Non-recurring

         *No distinction is made between recurring or non-recurring expenditures
         for the corporate office.

         The  $78,183,000  incurred  to fund  non-recurring,  revenue  enhancing
         upgrades included, among other items, the following: construction of 13
         new community centers; the installation of 5,500 new,  energy-efficient
         refrigerators,  nearly 13,500 new windows and other energy conservation
         measures;   and  the  modernization  of  over  4,350  kitchens,   5,150
         bathrooms,  and 2,950 new air  conditioners.  Management  believes that
         these upgrades contributed significantly towards achieving 7.6% average
         growth in net  operating  income at the 2000 Core  Properties.  For the
         combined  Acquisition  Communities,  substantial  rehabilitations  were
         incurred  as  part  of  management's   acquisition  and   repositioning
         strategies. The pace of capital replacements was accelerated to improve
         the overall competitive condition of the properties.  Funding for these
         capital  improvements  was  provided  by the line of credit  and equity
         proceeds.

         During  2001,  management  expects  that the  communities  will benefit
         further  from  improvements  completed in 2000 and plans to continue to
         fund similar  non-recurring,  revenue enhancing upgrades in addition to
         normal capital replacements.

         ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

         Phase I environmental  audits have been completed on substantially  all
         of the Owned  Properties.  There are no recorded amounts resulting from
         environmental  liabilities  as there  are no known  contingencies  with
         respect thereto. Furthermore, no condition is known to exist that would
         give rise to a material  liability for site  restoration or other costs
         that  may be  incurred  with  respect  to the  sale  or  disposal  of a
         property.

         RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The  Company  is not aware of any  pronouncements  which  would  have a
         material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity,  financial position
         or results of operations.

         INFLATION

         Substantially  all of the leases at the  communities  are for a term of
         one year or less,  which  enables the Company to seek  increased  rents
         upon renewal of existing leases or  commencement  of new leases.  These
         short-term leases minimize the potential adverse effect of inflation on
         rental income,  although residents may leave without penalty at the end
         of  their   lease   terms  and  may  do  so  if  rents  are   increased
         significantly.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Home Properties of New York, Inc.


In our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  listed  in the index
appearing under Item 14(a)(1) and (2) on page 41 present fairly, in all material
respects,  the  financial  position  of Home  Properties  of New York,  Inc.  at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended  December 31, 2000 in conformity
with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States of America.
In addition,  in our opinion,  the financial  statement  schedule  listed in the
index appearing under Item 14(a)(1) and (2) on page 41 presents  fairly,  in all
material  respects,  the  information set forth therein when read in conjunction
with the related consolidated  financial statements.  These financial statements
and  financial  statement  schedule  are  the  responsibility  of the  Company's
management;  our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and financial  statement  schedule based on our audits.  We conducted
our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing  standards  generally
accepted in the United States of America, which require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence  supporting the amounts and  disclosures  in the financial  statements,
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  and evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE DATA)

1        ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         ORGANIZATION

         Home  Properties  of New York,  Inc.  (the " Company " ) was  formed in
         November 1993, as a Maryland  corporation  and is engaged  primarily in
         the ownership, management, acquisition,  rehabilitation and development
         of  apartment   communities  in  the  Northeastern,   Mid-Atlantic  and
         Midwestern  United States.  The Company  conducts its business  through
         Home Properties of New York, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),  a New
         York limited partnership. As of December 31, 2000, the Company operated
         319 apartment  communities with 50,912  apartments.  Of this total, the
         Company owned 147 communities, consisting of 39,041 apartments, managed
         as general partner 136 partnerships that owned 8,325 apartments and fee
         managed 3,546 apartments for affiliates and third parties.  The Company
         also  fee  managed  1.0  million  square  feet  of  office  and  retail
         properties.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
         of the Company and its 62.5% (62.4% at December  31, 1999)  partnership
         interest in the Operating  Partnership.  The remaining  37.5% (37.6% at
         December  31,  1999)  is  reflected  as  Minority   Interest  in  these
         consolidated  financial  statements.  Investments  in which the Company
         does  not  have  control  are  presented  on  the  equity  method.  All
         significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
         in these consolidated financial statements.

2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         REAL ESTATE

         Real  estate is  recorded at cost.  Costs  related to the  acquisition,
         development,   construction   and   improvement   of   properties   are
         capitalized.  Interest  costs are  capitalized  until  construction  is
         substantially  complete.  When  retired or  otherwise  disposed of, the
         related  cost  and  accumulated   depreciation  are  cleared  from  the
         respective  accounts and the net  difference,  less any amount realized
         from disposition, is reflected in income. There was $260, $263 and $189
         of interest capitalized in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.  Ordinary
         repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

         The Company reviews its properties on a quarterly basis to determine if
         its carrying costs will be recovered from future  operating cash flows.
         In cases  where the  Company  does not expect to recover  its  carrying
         costs,  the Company  recognizes an impairment loss. No such losses have
         been recognized to date.

         DEPRECIATION

         Properties  are  depreciated  using a  straight-line  method  over  the
         estimated   useful   lives  of  the  assets  as   follows:   buildings,
         improvements and equipment - 5-40 years; and tenant improvements - life
         of  related  lease.  Depreciation  expense  charged to  operations  was
         $52,221,  $37,176 and $23,067 for the years ended  December  31,  2000,
         1999 and 1998, respectively.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

         For purposes of the  consolidated  statements  of cash flows,  cash and
         cash  equivalents  include  all  cash  and  highly  liquid  investments
         purchased with original maturities of three months or less. The Company
         estimates  that the fair  value of cash  equivalents  approximates  the
         carrying  value  due  to  the   relatively   short  maturity  of  these
         instruments.

         CASH IN ESCROWS

         Cash in escrows  consists of cash restricted under the terms of various
         loan  agreements  to be used for the  payment  of  property  taxes  and
         insurance as well as required  replacement reserves and tenant security
         deposits for residential properties.

         DEFERRED CHARGES

         Costs  relating  to  the  financing  of  properties  are  deferred  and
         amortized  over the life of the related  agreement.  The  straight-line
         method,  which  approximates the effective  interest method, is used to
         amortize all financing  costs. The range of the terms of the agreements
         are from 1-23 years.  Accumulated  amortization was $1,270,  $1,165 and
         $2,592 as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         USE OF ESTIMATES

         The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally
         accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates
         and  assumptions   that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and
         liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial  statements and the reported  amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting  period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         ADVERTISING

         Advertising expenses are charged to operations during the year in which
         they were  incurred.  Advertising  expenses  incurred  and  charged  to
         operations were approximately  $5,366,  $3,966 and $2,891 for the years
         ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         The  Operating  Partnership  leases its  residential  properties  under
         leases  with  terms  generally  one  year or  less.  Rental  income  is
         recognized when earned. Property other income, which consists primarily
         of income from operation of laundry  facilities,  administrative  fees,
         garage and carport rentals and miscellaneous  charges to residents,  is
         recognized when earned.

         The Operating  Partnership  earns development and other fee income from
         properties in the development  phase.  This fee income is recognized on
         the percentage of completion method.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

         INCOME TAXES

         The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate  investment  trust
         ("REIT")  under  the  Internal   Revenue  Code  of  1986,  as  amended,
         commencing  with the taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a result,
         the Company  generally  will not be subject to Federal or State  income
         taxation at the corporate  level to the extent it distributes  annually
         at least 95%  (reduced  to 90%  effective  January 1, 2001) of its REIT
         taxable  income  to  its  shareholders  and  satisfies   certain  other
         requirements.  Accordingly,  no  provision  has been  made for  federal
         income taxes in the accompanying  consolidated financial statements for
         the years ended  December 31,  2000,  1999 and 1998.  Stockholders  are
         taxed on dividends  and must report such  dividends as either  ordinary
         income, capital gains, or as return of capital.

         EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is computed as net income available to
         common  shareholders  divided by the weighted  average number of common
         shares  outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
         dilution  that  could  occur  from  common  shares   issuable   through
         stock-based  compensation including stock options and the conversion of
         any  cumulative   convertible  preferred  stock.  The  exchange  of  an
         Operating  Partnership  Unit for  common  stock  will have no effect on
         diluted EPS as unitholders and stockholders  effectively  share equally
         in the net income of the Operating Partnership.

         Income before  extraordinary  item,  extraordinary  item and net income
         available  to common  shareholders  are the same for both the basic and
         diluted  calculation.  The  reconciliation  of the  basic  and  diluted
         earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
         is as follows:

                                                    ========        ========

         Mortgage  notes  payable  are   collateralized   by  certain  apartment
         communities  and mature at various  dates from  November,  2001 through
         June,  2036.  The  weighted  average  interest  rate  of the  Company's
         variable rate notes and credit facility was 6.54% at December 31, 2000.
         The weighted  average  interest rate of the Company's  fixed rate notes
         was 7.41% and 7.39% at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Principal  payments on the mortgage notes payable for years  subsequent
         to December 31, 2000 are as follows:

           2001                      $13,918
           2002                       55,964

                                    ========

         The Company  determines  the fair value of the mortgage  notes  payable
         based on the  discounted  future  cash  flows at a  discount  rate that
         approximates  the  Company's  current  effective   borrowing  rate  for
         comparable  loans.  Based on this analysis,  the Company has determined
         that the fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximates $858,743
         at December 31, 2000.

6        MINORITY INTEREST

         Minority  interest  in  the  Company  relates  to the  interest  in the
         Operating  Partnership  not owned by Home  Properties of New York, Inc.
         Units in the Operating Partnership ("UPREIT Units") are exchangeable on
         a  one-for-one  basis into common  shares.  On December 30,  1996,  $35
         million was raised in a private placement through the sale of a Class A
         Limited  Partnership  Interest to a state pension  fund.  The interest,
         which can be converted  into  1,666,667  shares of common  stock,  will
         receive a  preferred  return  equal to the greater of: (a) 9.25% on the
         original  investment  during the first two years ending on December 30,
         1998,  declining to 9.0% up to and including  December 30, 2003; or (b)
         the actual dividends paid to common  shareholders on 1,666,667  shares.
         On December  22,  1999,  the holder of the Class A Limited  Partnership
         Interest converted its ownership to Series A Preferred stock.

         The changes in minority  interest  for the two years ended  December 31

         and  200,000 of its 8.75%  Series C  convertible  cumulative  preferred
         stock ("Series C Preferred"),  $100  liquidation  preference per share.
         These offerings  generated net proceeds of  approximately  $60 million.
         The net proceeds were used to fund acquisitions and property  upgrades.
         The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible at any time by the holder
         into Common  Shares at a conversion  price of $30.25 per Common  Share,
         equivalent  to a  conversion  ratio of 3.3058  Common  Shares  for each

         On June 5, 2000,  the  Company  privately  placed  250,000 of its 8.78%
         Series D convertible cumulative preferred stock ("Series D Preferred"),
         $100  liquidation  preference  per share.  This offering  generated net
         proceeds of  approximately  $25 million.  The net proceeds were used to

         shares are  convertible at any time by the holder into Common Shares at
         a  conversion  price  of  $30.00  per  Common  Share,  equivalent  to a

         Series E convertible cumulative preferred stock ("Series E Preferred"),
         $100  liquidation  preference  per share.  This offering  generated net
         proceeds of  approximately  $30 million.  The net proceeds were used to
         pay  down  Company  borrowings.  The  Series  E  Preferred  shares  are
         convertible  at  any  time  by  the  holder  into  Common  Shares  at a

         PREFERRED STOCK (CONTINUED)

         stock on an as converted  basis.  The Company has  determined  that the
         Series B Preferred  shares contain certain  contingent  provisions that
         could  cause such shares to be  redeemable  at the option of the holder
         and  has   presented   this  class  of  preferred   stock   outside  of
         stockholders' equity.

         On December  22,  1999,  the holder of the Class A limited  partnership
         interests  converted  its  ownership  to 9% Series A  Preferred  stock,
         liquidation  preference  of  $21.00  per  Common  Share,  total  shares
         outstanding of 1,666,667. The conversion to preferred stock occurred at
         the Company's request and permits the Operating Partnership to continue
         to use  favorable  tax  depreciation  methods.  The Series A  Preferred
         shares are convertible at any time by the holder on a one-for-one basis
         into  Common  Shares.  Each  Series A  Preferred  share will  receive a
         quarterly  distribution equal to the greater of 9% per annum multiplied
         by the liquidation preference or the dividend paid on a share of common
         stock.  The current  dividend of $.57 per quarter  (effective  with the
         November,  2000 dividend) is equivalent to an annualized  rate of $2.28
         per share, which exceeds the 9% preferred return. On and after December
         30, 2003,  each  preferred  share will  receive the dividend  paid on a
         share of common stock as long as the actual  distributions paid in each
         of the prior  eight  consecutive  quarters  equaled or exceeded a 9.25%
         annual return. Any unconverted interest can be redeemed without premium
         by the Company after December 30, 2006.

         DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

         The  Company has adopted the  Dividend  Reinvestment,  Stock  Purchase,
         Resident Stock Purchase and Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "DRIP" ).
         The DRIP provides the  stockholders  of the Company an  opportunity  to
         automatically  invest their cash dividends at a discount of 3% from the
         market price. In addition,  eligible  participants  may make monthly or
         other voluntary cash investments,  also typically at a discount,  which
         has varied between 2% and 3% from the market price, in shares of common
         stock.  A total of $57 million,  $49 million,  and $72 million,  net of
         officer and director  notes,  was raised  through  this program  during
         2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Effective  April 10,  2001,  the DRIP  will be  amended  to reduce  the
         discount  from the  current  market  price from 3% to 2%.  The  maximum
         amount that can be invested without the Company's prior permission will
         also be reduced from $5,000 to $1,000.

         OFFICER AND DIRECTOR NOTES FOR STOCK PURCHASES

         On August 12, 1996, eighteen officers and the six independent directors
         purchased an aggregate  of 208,543  shares of Common Stock  through the
         DRIP at the price of $19.79.  The  purchases  were  financed 50% from a
         bank loan and 50% by a  recourse  loan from the  Company.  The  Company
         loans bear  interest  at 7% per annum and mature in August,  2016.  The
         Company loans are subordinate to the  above-referenced  bank loans, and
         are  collateralized by pledges of the 208,543 common shares.  The loans
         are expected to be repaid from the regular quarterly  dividends paid on
         the shares of common stock pledged,  after the corresponding bank loans
         are paid in full.

         On November 10, 1997,  twenty-one  officers and five of the independent
         directors  purchased  an  aggregate  of 169,682  shares of common stock
         through the DRIP at the price of $26.66.  The  purchases  were financed
         50% from a bank loan and 50% by a recourse loan from the Company.

         The  Company  loans  bear  interest  at 6.7% per  annum  and  mature in
         November,   2017.   The   Company   loans   are   subordinate   to  the
         above-referenced  bank loans, and are  collateralized by pledges of the
         169,682  common  shares.  The loans are  expected to be repaid from the
         regular quarterly dividends paid on the shares of common stock pledged,
         after the corresponding bank loans are paid in full.

         STOCK PURCHASE AND LOAN PLAN

         In May,  1998, the Company  adopted the Director,  Officer and Employee
         Stock Purchase and Loan Plan (the "Stock Purchase  Plan").  The program
         provides for the sale and issuance,  from time to time as determined by
         the Board of Directors, of up to 500,000 shares of the Company's Common
         Stock to the  directors,  officers and key employees of the Company for
         consideration  of not less than 97% of the  market  price of the Common
         Stock.  The Stock  Purchase  Plan also  allows the  Company to loan the
         participants  up to 100% of the  purchase  price (50% for  non-employee
         directors).

         On  August  12,  1998,  thirty  officers/key   employees  and  the  six
         independent  directors  purchased  an  aggregate  of 238,239  shares of
         common stock  through the Stock  Purchase  Plan at the price of $24.11.
         The purchases for the  officers/key  employees  were financed 100% by a
         recourse loan from the Company (50% for  non-employee  directors).  The
         loans bear interest at 7.13% per annum and mature on the earlier of the
         maturity  of the 1996 and 1997  phases of the loan  program  or August,
         2018. The loans are  collateralized  by pledges of the common stock and
         are expected to be repaid from the regular quarterly  dividends paid on
         the shares.

         DIVIDENDS

         Stockholders  are taxed on dividends and must report such  dividends as
         either ordinary  income,  capital gains,  or as return of capital.  The
         appropriate amount of each per common share is as follows:

                          ORDINARY INCOME        RETURN OF CAPITAL

             1998              79.4%                   20.6%
             1999              85.6%                   14.4%

         At December 31, 2000,  21,565,681 common shares,  7,112,381 convertible
         preferred shares (on a diluted basis) and 15,854,496  UPREIT Units were

8        SEGMENT REPORTING

         The Company is engaged in one primary  business segment - the ownership
         and management of market rate apartment communities (segregated as Core
         and  Non-core  properties).  Company  management  views each  apartment
         community as a separate component of the operating segment.

         Non-segment   revenue  to   reconcile   total   revenue   consists   of
         unconsolidated  management and  development  fees and interest  income.
         Non-segment  assets to reconcile to total assets include cash,  cash in
         escrows, accounts receivable,  prepaid expenses, deposits,  investments
         in and advances to affiliates, deferred charges and other assets.

         Core properties  consist of all apartment  communities  which have been
         owned  more  than one full  calendar  year.  Therefore,  the 2000  Core
         represents   communities  owned  as  of  December  31,  1998.  Non-core
         properties  consist of apartment  communities  acquired during 1999 and
         2000,  such  that  full  year  comparable  operating  results  are  not
         available.

         The accounting  policies of the segment is the same as those  described
         in Note 1.

         The Company assesses and measures segment  operating results based on a
         performance measure referred to as Funds from Operations  ("FFO").  The
         National  Association of Real Estate  Investment  Trusts defines FFO as
         net income  (loss),  before gains  (losses)  from the sale of property,
         extraordinary   items,   plus  real   estate   depreciation   including
         adjustments for unconsolidated  partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is
         not a  measure  of  operating  results  or cash  flows  from  operating
         activities as measured by generally accepted accounting  principles and
         it is not  indicative  of cash  available to fund cash needs and should
         not be  considered  an  alternative  to  cash  flows  as a  measure  of
         liquidity.

9        MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

         Certain  property  management,  leasing and development  activities are
         performed  by Home  Properties  Management,  Inc.  and Home  Properties
         Resident   Services,   Inc.   (formerly   Conifer  Realty  Corp.)  (the
         "Management  Companies").  The Management  Companies issued  non-voting
         common stock to the Operating  Partnership  in exchange for  management
         contracts  for  residential,   commercial,   and  development   managed
         properties  and  certain  other  assets.  This  exchange  entitles  the
         Operating  Partnership to receive 99% of the economic  interest of each
         Management Company. The remaining 1% economic interest and voting stock
         were issued to certain inside directors of the Company. On December 31,
         1998,  additional shares  representing a 4% economic interest were sold
         and issued to the same inside directors.  Therefore,  effective January
         1, 1999,  the Operating  Partnership  is entitled to receive 95% of the
         economic interest of each Management Company.

         The Management  Companies receive  development,  construction and other
         fee income from properties in the development phase. This fee income is
         recognized  on the  percentage  of completion  method.  The  Management
         Companies are accounted for under the equity method.

         The Management Companies provide property management and administrative
         services to certain real estate and other  entities.  In  consideration
         for these services, the Management Companies receive monthly management
         fees  generally  based on a percentage  of revenues or costs  incurred.
         Management fees are recognized as revenue when they are earned.

         The  Company's  share of  income  from  the  Management  Companies  was
         ($1,791),  $156, and $113 for the years ended  December 31, 2000,  1999
         and 1998,  respectively.  Summarized combined financial  information of
         the Management  Companies at and for the years ended December 31, 2000,

11       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         GROUND LEASE

         The Company has a non-cancelable  operating ground lease for one of its
         properties.  The lease expires May 1, 2020,  with options to extend the
         term of the lease for two successive  terms of twenty-five  years each.
         The lease  provides for  contingent  rental  payments  based on certain
         variable factors. The lease also requires the lessee to pay real estate
         taxes, insurance and certain other operating expenses applicable to the
         leased property. Ground lease expense was $201, $194 and $186 including
         contingent  rents of $131,  $124 and $116 for the years ended  December
         31, 2000,  1999 and 1998,  respectively.  At December 31, 2000,  future
         minimum rental payments required under the lease are $70 per year until
         the lease expires.

         401(K) SAVINGS PLAN

         The Company  participates  in a  contributory  savings plan.  Under the
         plan,  the  Company  will  match  75% of the  first  4% of  participant
         contributions.  The matching expense under this plan was $512, $398 and
         $208  for  the  years  ended   December  31,   2000,   1999  and  1998,
         respectively.

         INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

         The Incentive Compensation Plan provides that eligible officers and key
         employees  may earn a cash  bonus  based  on  increases  in funds  from
         operations  ("FFO")  per  share/unit   (computed  based  on  the  basic
         shares/units  outstanding).  No cash  bonuses  were  payable  under the
         Incentive Compensation Plan unless the increase in FFO per share, after
         giving  effect to the  bonuses,  was equal to or  greater  than 5%. The
         bonus expense charged to operations  (including  Management  Companies)
         was $103, $2,190 and $1,997 for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999
         and 1998, respectively.

         CONTINGENCIES

         The  Company  is  party  to  certain   legal   proceedings.   All  such
         proceedings,  taken  together,  are not  expected  to  have a  material
         adverse effect on the Company. The Company is also subject to a variety
         of legal actions for personal  injury or property damage arising in the
         ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by liability
         insurance.  While the  resolution of these matters  cannot be predicted
         with  certainty,  management  believes  that the final  outcome of such
         legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on
         the Company's liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

         to maintain  certain levels of  nonrecourse  debt  associated  with the
         contributed properties acquired. In addition, the Company is restricted
         in its ability to sell certain contributed properties (49% of the owned
         portfolio) for a period of time except through a tax deferred  Internal
         Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange.

         DEBT COVENANTS

         The line of credit loan agreements  contain  restrictions  which, among
         other things, require maintenance of certain financial ratios and limit
         the payment of  dividends.  At December  31,  2000,  the Company was in
         compliance with these covenants.

         GUARANTEES

         The Company has guaranteed a total of $611 of debt  associated with two
         entities where the Company is the general partner or managing agent. In
         addition,  the Company has guaranteed the Low Income Housing Tax Credit
         to limited partners in 42 partnerships totaling  approximately $48,500.
         In  addition,  the  Company,  acting  as  general  partner  in  certain
         partnerships,  is  obligated  to  advance  funds  to  meet  partnership
         operating  deficits.  As of  December  31,  2000,  there  were no known
         conditions that would make such payments necessary.

         EXECUTIVE RETENTION PLAN

         Effective  February 2, 1999, the Executive  Retention Plan provides for
         severance  benefits  and other  compensation  to be received by certain
         employees  in the event of a change in  control  of the  Company  and a
         subsequent termination of their employment without cause or voluntarily
         with good cause.

12       STOCK BENEFIT PLAN

         The Company has adopted the 1994 Stock  Benefit  Plan as Amended (the "
         Plan " ). Plan participants include officers,  non-employee  directors,
         and key  employees of the Company.  The Company has reserved  1,596,000
         shares for issuance to officers and  employees  and 154,000  shares for
         issuance to  non-employee  directors.  Options  granted to officers and
         employees of the Company  vest 20% for each year of service  until 100%
         vested on the fifth  anniversary.  Certain  officers' options (264,000)
         and directors'  options  (149,100)  vest  immediately  upon grant.  The
         exercise price per share for stock options may not be less than 100% of
         the fair market  value of a share of common stock on the date the stock
         option  is  granted  (110%  of the  fair  market  value  in the case of
         incentive  stock options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of
         the voting power of the Company's  common  stock).  Options  granted to
         directors  and  employees who hold more than 10% of the voting power of
         the Company  expire after five years from the date of grant.  All other
         options  expire  after ten years from the date of grant.  The Plan also
         allows for the grant of stock appreciation  rights and restricted stock
         awards,  however,  there were none  granted at December  31,  2000.  At
         December 31, 2000,  170,680 and 346 common  shares were  available  for
         future  grant of  options  or awards  under the Plan for  officers  and
         employees  and  non-employee  directors,  respectively.  On February 1,
         2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Benefit Plan (the "2000

         officers,  regional  managers  and  on-site  property  managers.  It is
         expected  that all future awards of stock options will be granted under
         the 2000 Plan. The 2000 Plan limits the number of shares issuable under
         the plan to 2.2  million,  of which  200,000  are to be  available  for
         issuance to the non-employee directors. At December 31, 2000, 1,331,220
         and 161,140 common shares were available for future grant of options or
         awards under the 2000 plan for officers and employees and  non-employee

         The Company has adopted the  disclosure  only  provisions  of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
         Compensation."  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized
         for the stock option plan.  Had  compensation  for the Company's  stock
         option  plan  been  determined  based on the fair  value at the date of
         grant for awards in 2000,  1999, and 1998,  the Company's  proforma net
         income  before  preferred  dividends  and proforma  basic  earnings per
         common  share would have been  $40,956,  $26,063 and $18,563 and $1.39,
         $1.33 and $1.34,  respectively.  The fair value of each option grant is
         estimated on the date of grant using the  Black-Scholes  option-pricing
         model with the following  assumptions used for grants in 2000, 1999 and
         1998:  dividend  yield  of  8.101%;   expected  volatility  of  18.97%;
         forfeiture rate of 5%; and expected lives of 7.5 years for options with
         a lifetime of ten years,  and five years for options with a lifetime of
         five years. The interest rate used in the option-pricing model is based
         on a risk free interest rate ranging from 5.30% to 6.87%.

         B, C, D and E  Preferred  stock  offerings  had  occurred on January 1,

         the  consolidated  results  which  actually  would have occurred if the
