The severance charges represented the discounted present value of the estimated payments to be made to these individuals under their existing employment arrangements. (4) Under SFAS No. 144, the operating results of real estate assets designated as held for sale are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. Additionally, all subsequent gains or additional losses on the sale of these assets are included in discontinued operations.

This impairment loss, originally reflected in continuing operations, was reclassified to discontinued operations to reflect the designation of this community as held for sale during the third quarter of 2003 and the final sale of the community in the fourth quarter of 2003. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations of $1,627 ($1,509 net of minority interest) from the sale of one community containing 398 units and certain land parcels. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company recognized net gains from discontinued operations of $7,981 ($7,072 net of minority interest), on the sale of one community, containing 239 apartment units, reduced by losses of $1,106 ($981 net of minority interest) resulting from losses on the sale of certain land parcels and additional reserves to write-down to fair value certain other land parcels previously classified as held for sale.

(2) The Company has purchased interest rate cap arrangements that limit the Company's exposure to increases in the base rate to 5.00 percent. (3) Excludes outstanding balances on lines of credit of $50,000 maturing in 2007. In January 2004 and April 2004, the Company refinanced its primary revolving lines of credit for 3-year terms maturing in January 2007. (4) Aggregate debt maturities for years ended in 2009 and thereafter include $100,000 of Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities ("MOPPRS"). The MOPPRS mature in March 2015, but are subject to mandatory tender for remarketing in March 2005. In March 2005, if the remarketing dealer elects not to remarket the MOPPRS, the Company is required to redeem the MOPPRS at par. If the remarketing dealer elects to remarket the securities in March 2005, the interest rate on the MOPPRS will be established at a rate of 5.715% plus the Company's applicable credit spread for Company securities with similar maturities. The MOPPRS may be redeemed, at the Company's option, immediately prior to their remarketing in March 2005 at an optional redemption price equal to the outstanding principal balance plus a prepayment penalty. (5) Calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. (6) Interest coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense. For purposes of this calculation, net income available for debt service represents income from continuing operations, before preferred or common minority interest, gains on property sales, severance, proxy and asset impairment charges, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Net income available for debt service was also adjusted for the Company's share of depreciation and interest expense from unconsolidated entities and interest expense used in the calculation was adjusted to include the Company's share of interest expense from unconsolidated entities. The calculation of the interest coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to income from continuing operations and interest expense to consolidated interest expense is included in Table 4 on page 20. (7) Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense plus dividends to preferred shareholders and distributions to preferred unitholders. For purposes of this calculation, net income available for debt service represents earnings from continuing operations, before preferred or common minority interest, gains on property sales, severance, proxy and asset impairment charges, interest expense, depreciation and amortization. Net income available for debt service was also adjusted for the Company's share of depreciation and interest expense from unconsolidated entities and interest expense used in the calculation was adjusted to include the Company's share of interest expense from unconsolidated entities. The calculation of the fixed coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to income from continuing operations and fixed charges to consolidated interest expense plus preferred dividends to shareholders and preferred distributions to unitholders is included in Table 4 on page 20. (8) A computation of the debt ratios is included in Table 5 on page 21. (9) The interest coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, including discontinued operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 would be 2.5x and 2.0x, respectively.

CAPITALIZED COSTS SUMMARY (Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data) (Unaudited) The Company has a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating to the acquisition of new assets and the development and construction of new apartment communities. In addition, the Company capitalizes expenditures that enhance the value of existing assets and expenditures that substantially extend the life of existing assets. All other expenditures necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred. Additionally, for new development communities, carpet, vinyl and blind replacements are expensed as incurred during the first five years (which corresponds to the estimated depreciable life of these assets) after construction completion. Thereafter, these replacements are capitalized. Further, the Company expenses as incurred all interior and exterior painting of communities. The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and certain internal personnel and associated costs related to apartment communities under development and construction. The internal personnel and associated costs are capitalized to the projects under development based upon the effort identifiable with such projects. The Company treats each unit in an apartment community separately for cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the commencement of leasing activities, interest and other construction costs are capitalized and are reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the residential units in a community become substantially complete and available for occupancy. This results in a proration of these costs between amounts that are capitalized and expensed as the residential units in a development community become available for occupancy. In addition, prior to the completion of units, the Company expenses as incurred substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing as well as property management and leasing personnel expenses) of such communities. A summary of community development improvements and other capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 is detailed below.

INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES (Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data) (Unaudited) At March 31, 2004, the Company holds investments in three individual limited liability companies (the "Property LLCs") with an institutional investor. Each Property LLC owns a newly developed apartment community. At March 31, 2004, each of the apartment communities had achieved stabilized occupancy. The Company holds a 35% equity interest in the Property LLCs. The initial development costs of the apartment communities were funded through member equity contributions proportionate to the members' ownership interests and through construction financing provided by the Company. The Company accounts for its investments in these Property LLCs using the equity method of accounting. The excess of the Company's investment over its equity in the underlying net assets of the Property LLCs was approximately $6,713 at March 31, 2004. This excess investment is being amortized as a reduction to earnings on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related assets. The Company provides real estate services (development, construction and property management) to the Property LLCs for which it earns fees. The operating results of the Company include its proportionate share of net income (loss) from the investments in the Property LLCs. A summary of financial information for the Property LLCs in the aggregate is as follows: MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31, Balance Sheet Data 2004 2003 ------------------ ---- ---- Real estate assets, net of accumulated depreciation of $6,889 and $5,939, respectively ............................................. $126,652 $127,513 Cash and other ..................................................... 4,830 2,516 -------- -------- Total assets ....................................................... $131,482 $130,029 ======== ======== Mortgage notes payable ............................................. $ 83,691 $ 33,763 Construction notes payable to Company (1) .......................... -- 53,769 Other liabilities .................................................. 1,818 1,742 -------- -------- Total liabilities .................................................. 85,509 89,274 Members' equity .................................................... 45,973 40,755 -------- -------- Total liabilities and members' equity .............................. $131,482 $130,029 ======== ======== Company's equity investment ....................................... $ 22,763 $ 21,017 ======== ======== Company's share of notes payable ................................... $ 29,292 $ 30,636 ======== ======== THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, ------------------------- Income Statement Data 2004 2003 --------------------- ---- ---- Revenue Rental .............................. $ 3,248 $ 1,689 Other ............................... 208 135 ------- ------- Total revenues ...................... 3,456 1,824 ------- ------- Expenses Property operating and maintenance .. 1,217 1,260 Depreciation and amortization ....... 950 895 Interest ............................ 773 708 ------- ------- Total expenses ...................... 2,940 2,863 ------- ------- Income (loss) from continuing operations 516 (1,039) Loss from discontinued operations ...... - (85) ------- ------- Net income (loss) ...................... $ 516 $(1,124) ======= ======= Company's share of net income (loss) ... $ 216 $ (393) ======= ======= (1) All of the Company's construction financing to these unconsolidated real estate entities is included in the Company's outstanding debt and total assets. At December 31, 2003, the venture partner's share of the construction loans was $34,950. All construction financing has been refinanced with permanent loans from unaffiliated entities as of March 31, 2004. The loss from discontinued operations represents the operating results of an apartment community (held by a fourth Property LLC) that was sold in June 2003. In March 2004, one of the Property LLCs repaid its outstanding construction note payable to the Company of $53,916 through the proceeds from a third-party non-recourse permanent mortgage note totaling $50,000 and from member equity contributions. The mortgage note bears interest at 4.13%, requires monthly interest payments and annual principal payment of $1 through 2009. Thereafter, the note requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule and matures in April 2034. The note is callable by the lender in May 2009 and on each successive fifth year anniversary of the note thereafter. The note is prepayable without penalty in May 2008. The additional mortgage notes payable bear interest at rates ranging from 4.04% to 4.28% and mature in 2008. As part of the development and construction services agreements entered into between the Company and the Property LLCs, the Company guaranteed the maximum total amount for certain construction cost categories subject to aggregate limits. The Company's remaining maximum exposure for the fourth Property LLC totals approximately $5,200. The Company does not currently expect to be required to fund any guarantees relating to this Property LLC. Copyright(C)2004 Post Apartment Homes, LP All Rights Reserved 14 POST PROPERTIES, INC. NET ASSET VALUE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data) (Unaudited) This supplemental financial and other data provides adjustments to certain GAAP financial measures and Net Operating Income, which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, that the Company makes internally to calculate Net Asset Value ("NAV"). In addition, the company believes that investors and analysts use similar measures in estimating the company's NAV. These measures, as adjusted, are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. With the exception of Net Operating Income, the most comparable GAAP measure for each of the non-GAAP measures presented below in the "As Adjusted" column is the corresponding number presented in the first column listed below. In the information below, the company presents Net Operating Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 for properties stabilized by the beginning of the quarter ended March 31, 2004 so that a capitalization rate may be applied and an approximate value for the assets determined. Properties not stabilized by the beginning of the quarter ended March 31, 2004 are presented at full undepreciated cost. Other tangible assets are also presented, as well as total liabilities and the liquidation value of preferred shares and units. The Company believes it is important to provide these measures to allow investors to easily develop their own calculations of NAV. The Company also believes that internal and external NAV estimates are a useful benchmark of the value of the company's assets over time and provide a useful measure for analyzing the company's trading price on the New York Stock Exchange.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER DEFINED TERMS (Dollars in thousands, except per share or unit data) (Unaudited) DEFINITIONS OF SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER DEFINED TERMS The company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and other defined terms in this accompanying Supplemental Financial Data. These non-GAAP financial measures include FFO, AFFO, net operating income, same store capital expenditures, net income, FFO and AFFO excluding certain accounting charges, certain debt statistics and ratios and economic gains (losses) on property sales. The definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures are summarized below. The company believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring financial performance and/or liquidity and comparing such performance and/or liquidity to other REITs. FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS - The company uses FFO as an operating measure. The company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is defined by NAREIT to mean net income (loss) available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (losses) from extraordinary items and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. In October 2003, NAREIT issued additional guidance modifying the definition of FFO. The first modification revised the treatment of asset impairment losses and impairment losses incurred to write-down assets to their fair value at the date assets are classified as held for sale, to include such losses in FFO. Previously, such losses were excluded from FFO consistent with the treatment of gains and losses on property sales. The second modification clarified the treatment of original issue costs and premiums paid on preferred stock redemptions to deduct such costs and premiums in determining FFO available to common shareholders. This modification was consistent with the recently clarified treatment of these costs under GAAP. The company adopted the modifications to the definition of FFO effective with its reported results for the third quarter of 2003. Prior period and prior year presentations of FFO have been restated to conform with the revised definition of FFO. FFO presented in the company's press release and Supplemental Financial Data is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies because not all real estate companies use the same definition. The company's FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition. Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that "since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves." As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to provide an alternate measure. Since the company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reasons surrounding its creation, the company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the company's results to those of other equity REITs. The company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled "net income (loss) available to common shareholders" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO. ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS - The company also uses adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") as an operating measure. AFFO is defined as FFO less operating capital expenditures. The company believes that AFFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for an equity REIT because it provides investors with an indication of the REIT's ability to fund operating capital expenditures through earnings. In addition, since most equity REITs provide AFFO information to the investment community, the company believes that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the company to other equity REITs. The company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled "net income (loss) available to common shareholders" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to AFFO. PROPERTY NET OPERATING INCOME - The company uses property NOI, including same store NOI and same store NOI by market, as an operating measure. NOI is defined as rental and other revenues from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT's operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, same store groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the company believes that NOI, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled "net income (loss)" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI. SAME STORE CAPITAL EXPENDITURES - The company uses same store recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures as cash flow measures. Same store recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. The company believes that same store recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures are important indicators of the costs incurred by the company in maintaining its same store communities on an ongoing basis. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the company's other operating segments consisting of communities stabilized in the prior year, lease-up communities, and sold communities in addition to same store information. Therefore, the company believes that the company's presentation of same store recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures is necessary to demonstrate same store replacement costs over time. The company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same store recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures are the lines on the company's consolidated statements of cash flows entitled "recurring capital expenditures" and "non-recurring capital expenditures." Copyright(C)2004 Post Apartment Homes, LP All Rights Reserved 17 NET INCOME, FFO AND AFFO EXCLUDING CERTAIN CHARGES - The company uses net income, FFO and AFFO excluding certain severance, proxy and impairment charges as operating measures. The company reports net income, FFO and AFFO excluding certain charges as alternative financial measures of core operating performance. The company believes net income, FFO and AFFO before charges are informative measures for comparing operating performance between periods and for comparing operating performance to other companies that have not incurred such charges. The company further believes that charges of the nature incurred in 2004 and 2003 are not necessarily repetitive in nature and that it is therefore meaningful to compare operating performance using alternative, non-GAAP measures. In addition, the company believes the investment and analyst communities desire to understand the meaningful components of the company's performance and that these non-GAAP measures assist in providing such supplemental measures. The company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to each of net income, FFO and AFFO, excluding certain charges, is the line on the company's consolidated statements of operations entitled "net income (loss) available to common shareholders." DEBT STATISTICS AND DEBT RATIOS - The company uses a number of debt statistics and ratios as supplemental measures of liquidity. The numerator and/or the denominator of certain of these statistics and/or ratios include non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These debt statistics and ratios include: (1) an interest coverage ratio; (2) a fixed charge coverage ratio; (3) total debt as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner's share of debt); (4) total debt plus preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner's share of debt); (5) a ratio of consolidated debt to total assets; (6) a ratio of secured debt to total assets; (7) a ratio of total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt; and (8) a ratio of consolidated income available to debt service to annual debt service charge. A number of these debt statistics and ratios are derived from covenants found in the company's debt agreements, including, among others, the company's senior unsecured notes. In addition, the company presents these measures because the degree of leverage could affect the company's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The company uses these measures internally as an indicator of liquidity and the company believes that these measures are also utilized by the investment and analyst communities to better understand the company's liquidity. ECONOMIC GAINS (LOSSES) ON PROPERTY SALES - The company uses economic gains losses on property sales as a supplemental measure of operating performance. Economic gains (losses) on property sales are defined as gains (losses) on property sales in accordance with GAAP, before accumulated depreciation and any prior period write-downs for asset impairment charges on such assets. The company believes economic gains (losses) on property sales is an important supplemental measure to gains (losses) on property sales in accordance with GAAP because it assists investors and analysts in understanding the relationship between the cash proceeds from the sale of an asset and the cash invested in that asset. The company believes the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled "gains (losses) on property sales - discontinued operations" is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to economic gains (losses) on property sales. AVERAGE ECONOMIC OCCUPANCY - The company uses average economic occupancy as a statistical measure of operating performance. The company defines average economic occupancy as gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses and bad debt expenses divided by gross potential rent for the period, expressed as a percentage.
