NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the management of Summit Properties Partnership, L.P., (the "Operating Partnership") in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Operating Partnership's December 31, 1996 audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Operating Partnership's Registration Statement on Form 10 as amended. The Operating Partnership conducts the business of developing, acquiring and managing multi-family apartment communities for Summit Properties Inc. ("Summit Properties"). Summit Properties is the sole general partner and majority owner of the Operating Partnership. Summit Properties is a self-administered and self-managed equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128 (SFAS No. 128), "Earnings Per Share," which will be effective at the Operating Partnership's 1997 fiscal year end. SFAS No. 128 will change the method for calculating earnings per Unit. Had the Operating Partnership applied SFAS No. 128 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, the effect on reported earnings per Unit would not be significant. 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS During the first quarter of 1997, the Operating Partnership completed the acquisition of three Communities: Summit Mayfaire, Summit Portofino and Summit Sand Lake (the "1997 Acquisitions"). The 1997 Acquisitions added a total of 882 apartment homes to the Operating Partnership's portfolio at an aggregate purchase price of $64.5 million. The 1997 Acquisitions were primarily financed with the assumption of $15.2 million in debt, the issuance of 243,608 Units to Summit Properties in exchange for Summit Properties issuing 243,608 shares of Common Stock to the seller, the issuance of 194,495 Units directly to the seller, and the payment of $40.4 million in cash. 7 8 In addition, the Operating Partnership acquired its joint venture partner's interest in Summit Plantation (formerly Plantation Cove) apartment community on April 1, 1996. The Operating Partnership paid $6.4 million in cash for the remaining 75% interest in this joint venture, which is now owned entirely by the Operating Partnership. The following summary of selected unaudited pro forma results of operations presents information as if the 1997 Acquisitions and the Summit Plantation acquisition had occurred at the beginning of each period presented. The pro forma information for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is provided for informational purposes only and is not indicative of results that would have occurred or which may occur in the future (dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts): SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, ------------------------------ 1997 1996 ---------- ----------- Net Revenues $ 55,974 $ 47,277 ========== =========== Net income $ 18,159 $ 8,472 ========== =========== Net income per Unit $ 0.66 $ 0.40 ========== =========== Weighted average units 27,326,508 21,371,816 ========== =========== On May 14, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold a community located in Charlotte, North Carolina known as Summit Charleston for $9.5 million. A gain on the sale of $4.4 million was recognized. Proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the acquisition of an apartment home community on July 18, 1997 (See Note 5). 8 9 3. RESTRICTED STOCK In the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, Summit Properties granted 26,278 and 56,041, respectively, shares of restricted stock to employees of the Operating Partnership and subsidaries under Summit Properties' 1994 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The market value of the restricted stock grants in 1997 and 1996 totaled $565,000 and $1.1 million, respectively. Unearned compensation is being amortized to expense over the vesting period which ranges from three to five years. 4. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION Non-cash investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: A. In the six months ended June 30, 1997, the Operating Partnership purchased three communities (Summit Mayfaire, Summit Portofino and Summit Sand Lake). The Operating Partnership completed the purchase of the three Communities by assuming debt, issuing 194,495 Units, issuing 243,608 Units to Summit Properties in exchange for Summit Properties issuing 243,608 shares of Common Stock to the seller, assuming certain liabilities and current assets, and the payment of cash. The recording of the purchase is summarized as follows (in thousands): Fixed assets $ 65,170 Other assets 30 Debt assumed (15,226) Current liabilities assumed (694) Value of Operating Partnership Units issued (3,939) Value of Common Stock issued (4,933) -------- Cash invested $ 40,408 ======== B. The Operating Partnership sold a community on May 14, 1997 for net proceeds of approximately $9.3 million. The proceeds of the sale were put in escrow to fund the acquisition of an apartment home community on July 18, 1997 (See Note 5). The escrow funds are shown in the balance sheet caption "Restricted Cash". 9 10 C. On April 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired its joint venture partner's interest in the Summit Plantation (formerly Plantation Cove) apartment community. The Operating Partnership paid $6.4 million in cash for the remaining 75% interest in this joint venture, which is now owned entirely by the Operating Partnership. The recording of the purchase is summarized as follows (in thousands): Fixed assets $ 21,913 Current assets 202 Deferred charges 95 Debt assumed (14,347) Current liabilities assumed (288) Equity investment (1,215) --------- Net cash paid $ 6,360 ========= D. The Operating Partnership issued 106,330 Units (valued at $2.1 million) for the purchase of land during the six months ended June 30, 1996. E. The Operating Partnership accrued a distribution payable in the amount of $10.9 million and $8.0 million at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. F. Summit Properties issued 26,278 and 56,041 shares of restricted stock valued at $565,000 and $1.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, to employees of the Operating Partnership and subsidaries. 5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT The Operating Partnership purchased an apartment home community to be known as Summit Windsor II for $17.1 million in cash on July 18, 1997. Summit Windsor II, which was developed by the Company in 1988, has 306 apartment homes and is located in Frederick, Maryland. The proceeds from the sale of a community (See Note 2) and borrowings on the Operating Partnership's line of credit were used to fund the purchase. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements including, without limitation, statements relating to the operating performance of stabilized communities and development activities of the Operating Partnership within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the Operating Partnership believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Operating Partnership's actual results and performance of stabilized and development communities could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Certain factors that might cause such a difference include general economic conditions, local real estate market conditions, construction delays due to unavailability of materials, weather conditions or other delays and those factors discussed in the last paragraph under the heading entitled "Operating Performance of the Operating Partnership's Stabilized Communities" and in the section entitled "Development Activity--Certain Factors Affecting the Performance of Development Communities" on pages 13 and 22, respectively, of this Form 10-Q. 10 11 As of June 30, 1997, there were 27,309,726 Units outstanding of the Operating Partnership, of which 23,144,614, or 84.7% were owned by Summit Properties and 4,165,112, or 15.3% were owned by other partners (including certain officers and directors of Summit Properties). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements of Summit Properties Partnership, L.P. and the Notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein. HISTORICAL RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Operating Partnership's net income is generated primarily from operations of its apartment communities (the "Communities"). The changes in operating results from period to period reflect changes in existing Community performance and increases in the number of apartment homes due to development and acquisition of new Communities. Where appropriate, comparisons are made on a "stabilized Communities," "acquisition Communities," "stabilized development Communities" and "Communities in lease-up" basis in order to adjust for changes in the number of apartment homes. A Community is deemed to be "stabilized" when it has attained either a physical occupancy level of at least 93% or when construction has been completed for one year in each of the comparable periods presented. A Community is deemed to be a "stabilized development" when stabilized in the entire current period presented but was in lease-up in the prior period presented. Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 For the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, income before gain on sale of real estate assets increased $2.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, to $6.9 million and $13.8 million, respectively, from the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. 11 12 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S PORTFOLIO OF COMMUNITIES The operating performance of the Communities for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is summarized below (dollars in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------------------------ --------------------------------- 1997 1996 % CHANGE 1997 1996 % CHANGE ---------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ------------ Property revenues: Stabilized communities (1) $21,027 $20,677 1.7% $40,506 $39,674 2.1% Acquisition communities (2) 2,205 0 100.0% 5,475 731 649.0% Stabilized development communities 3,059 1,869 63.7% 6,127 2,995 104.6% Communities in lease-up 1,451 22 6495.5% 2,379 22 10713.6% Community sold 163 350 -53.4% 519 700 -25.9% ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- Total property revenues 27,905 22,918 21.8% 55,006 44,122 24.7% ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- Property operating and maintenance expense (3): Stabilized communities 7,915 7,875 0.5% 15,251 15,074 1.2% Acquisition communities 742 0 100.0% 1,814 260 597.7% Stabilized development communities 1,009 715 41.1% 1,932 1,238 56.1% Communities in lease-up 543 47 1055.3% 890 47 1793.6% Community sold 75 153 -51.0% 211 295 -28.5% ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- Total property operating and maintenance expense 10,284 8,790 17.0% 20,098 16,914 18.8% ---------- --------- ---------- ---------- Property operating income $17,621 $14,128 24.7% $34,908 $27,208 28.3% ========== ========= ========== ========== Apartment homes, end of period 14,072 11,900 18.3% 14,072 11,900 18.3% ========== ========= ========== ========== (1) Includes Communities which were stabilized for each of the comparable periods presented.

A summary of the Operating Partnership's apartment homes for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is as follows: 1997 1996 ------- ------ Apartment homes at the beginning of period 12,454 11,286 Acquisitions 882 262 Developments which began rental operations during the period 950 352 Sale of apartment home community (214) -- ======= ====== Apartment homes at the end of the period 14,072 11,900 ======= ====== 12 13 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S STABILIZED COMMUNITIES The operating performance of the 45 and 44 Communities stabilized during the entire period in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, are summarized below (dollars in thousands except average monthly rental revenue): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, --------------------------------- ---------------------------------- 1997 1996 % CHANGE 1997 1996 % CHANGE --------- --------- ----------- --------- --------- --------- Property revenues: Rental $19,967 $19,667 1.5% $38,576 $37,780 2.1% Other 1,060 1,010 5.0% 1,930 1,894 1.9% --------- --------- --------- ---------- Total property revenues 21,027 20,677 1.7% 40,506 39,674 2.1% --------- --------- --------- ---------- Property operating and maintenance expense (1): Personnel 1,815 1,900 -4.5% 3,457 3,703 -6.6% Advertising and promotion 270 213 26.8% 491 391 25.6% Utilities 890 917 -2.9% 1,773 1,778 -0.3% Building repairs and maintenance 1,759 1,790 -1.7% 3,349 3,263 2.6% Real estate taxes and insurance 2,090 1,998 4.6% 4,010 3,868 3.7% Property supervision 529 520 1.7% 1,014 986 2.8% Other operating expense 562 537 4.7% 1,157 1,085 6.6% --------- --------- --------- ---------- Total property operating and maintenance expense 7,915 7,875 0.5% 15,251 15,074 1.2% --------- --------- --------- ---------- Property operating income $13,112 $12,802 2.4% $25,255 $24,600 2.7% ========= ========= ========= ========== Average physical occupancy (2) 92.8% 92.8% 0.0% 93.0% 93.0% 0.0% ========= ========= ========= ========== Average monthly rental revenue (3) $721 $707 2.0% $713 $697 2.3% ========= ========= ========= ========== Number of apartment homes 10,134 10,134 9,872 9,872 ========= ========= ========= ========== (1) Before real estate depreciation expense. (2) Average physical occupancy is defined as the number of apartment homes occupied divided by the total number of apartment homes contained in the Communities, expressed as a percentage. Average physical occupancy has been calculated using the average of the midweek occupancy that existed during each week of the period. (3) Represents the average monthly net rental revenue per occupied apartment home. The increase in rental revenue from stabilized Communities for the second quarter and the first six months of 1997 compared to 1996 was primarily the result of increases in average rental rates. Property operating and maintenance expense increases were due primarily to an increase in advertising and promotion, real estate taxes and insurance offset by a decrease in personnel expense. As a percentage of total property revenue, property operating and maintenance expenses decreased for the three month period from 38.1% in 1996 to 37.6% in 1997 and for the six month period from 38.0% in 1996 to 37.7% in 1997. 13 14 The 1.7% and 2.1% rates of growth in property revenues was lower than the 3.8% and 4.4% rates of growth in property revenues achieved from the first quarter of 1995 compared to first quarter 1996 and the first six months of 1995 compared to the first six months of 1996, respectively. The growth rate was lower primarily as a result of a new supply of competing multi-family communities and the increase in home affordability in some of the markets in which the Operating Partnership operates. This lower growth rate was especially noticeable in the Tampa and Atlanta markets. The Operating Partnership expects property growth rates for the remainder of 1997 to be similar to the first six months of 1997 as the supply of new multi-family communities continues to increase balanced by the continued strength of the local economies in which the Operating Partnership operates. The Operating Partnership believes its expectations with respect to property revenue growth are based on reasonable assumptions as to future economic conditions and the quantity of competitive multi-family communities in the markets in which the Operating Partnership does business. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from these assumptions. 14 15 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S ACQUISITION COMMUNITIES Acquisition communities consist of the 1997 Acquisitions (882 apartment homes) and Summit Plantation (262 apartment homes) acquired on April 1, 1996, for the six month periods presented and the 1997 Acquisitions for the three month periods presented. The operations of these Communities for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands except average monthly rental revenue): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 JUNE 30 ------------------- -------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------ ---- ------ ---- Property revenues: Rental revenues $2,048 $ 0 $5,149 $696 Other property revenue 157 0 326 35 ------ --- ------ ---- Total property revenues 2,205 0 5,475 731 ------ --- ------ ---- Property operating and maintenance expense (1) 742 0 1,814 260 ------ --- ------ ---- Property operating income $1,463 $ 0 $3,661 $471 ====== === ====== ==== Average physical occupancy (2) 92.8% 0.0% 93.9% 90.2% ====== === ====== ==== Average monthly rental revenue (3) $ 848 $ 0 $ 892 $998 ====== === ====== ==== Number of apartment homes 882 0 1,144 262 ====== === ====== ==== (1) Before real estate depreciation expense.

Average physical occupancy has been calculated using the average of the midweek occupancy that existed during each week of the period. (3) Represents the average monthly net rental revenue per occupied apartment home. Average monthly rental revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 for the 1997 Acquisitions was $846. The unleveraged yield, defined as property operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 for the acquisition communities, as defined above, on an annualized basis over total acquisition cost, was 9.0% and 9.4%, respectively. The unleveraged yield for the 1997 Acquisitions only for the six months ended June 30, 1997, was 9.3%. 15 16 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S STABILIZED DEVELOPMENT COMMUNITIES The Operating Partnership had four development communities (Summit Aventura, Summit Hill II, Summit Green, and Summit River Crossing), which were stabilized during the entire three and six months ended June 30, 1997 but were still in lease-up/construction in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996. The operating performance of these four Communities for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is summarized below (dollars in thousands except average monthly rental revenue): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 JUNE 30 ------------------- -------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------ ------ Property revenues: Rental revenues $2,878 $1,743 $5,802 $2,785 Other property revenue 181 126 325 210 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total property revenues 3,059 1,869 6,127 2,995 ------ ------ ------ ------ Property operating and maintenance expense (1) 1,009 715 1,932 1,238 ------ ------ ------ ------ Property operating income $2,050 $1,154 $4,195 $1,757 ====== ====== ====== ====== Average physical occupancy (2) 91.7% 55.9% 92.3% 44.3% ====== ====== ====== ====== Average monthly rental revenue (3) $ 908 $ 878 $ 910 $ 890 ====== ====== ====== ====== Number of apartment homes 1,200 1,200 1,200 1,200 ====== ====== ====== ====== (1) Before real estate depreciation expense.

(3) Represents the average monthly net rental revenue per occupied apartment home. The unleveraged yield, defined as property operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 on an annualized basis over total development cost, was 10.2% and 10.4%, respectively. 16 17 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF THE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP'S COMMUNITIES IN LEASE-UP The Operating Partnership had seven Communities in lease-up in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997. A Community in lease-up is defined as one which has commenced rental operations but has not reached stabilization. A summary of the seven Communities in lease-up as of June 30, 1997 is as follows (dollars in thousands): TOTAL ACTUAL/ HOMES % LEASED NUMBER OF ACTUAL/ ANTICIPATED COMPLETED Q2 1997 AS OF APARTMENT ESTIMATED CONSTRUCTION ANTICIPATED AT JUNE 30, AVERAGE JUNE 30, COMMUNITY HOMES COST COMPLETION STABILIZATION 1997 OCCUPANCY 1997 - --------------------- ------------ ----------- -------------- -------------- ------------ ------------ ---------- Summit Fairways 240 $ 17,900 Q4 1996 Q3 1997 240 76.30% 94.20% Summit on the River 352 24,300 Q2 1997 Q3 1997 352 58.20% 76.40% Summit Russett 314 23,100 Q3 1997 Q3 1997 250 42.50% 72.60% Summit Stonefield 216 18,400 Q4 1997 Q1 1998 36 1.10% 19.90% Summit Ballantyne I 246 16,800 Q4 1997 Q2 1998 42 1.50% 16.70% Summit Sedgebrook I 248 15,600 Q4 1997 Q2 1998 32 0.60% 12.10% Summit Plantation II 240 22,000 Q4 1997 Q2 1998 32 0.00% 15.00% =========== ========== 1,856 $138,100 =========== ========== Property operating income after interest expense was $117,000 and $67,000 for the seven communities in lease-up for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively. 17 18 OPERATING PERFORMANCE OF SUMMIT MANAGEMENT COMPANY The operating performance of Summit Management Company (the "Management Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Summit Apartment Builders Inc. (the "Construction Company"), for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 is summarized below (dollars in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------ --------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------ ------ ------- ------- Property management revenue $1,203 $1,166 $ 2,385 $ 2,298 Construction Company income 266 112 458 176 Other Management Company income 31 33 55 59 ------ ------ ------- ------- Total revenue 1,500 1,311 2,898 2,533 Property management expenses: Operating 1,042 997 2,073 2,149 Depreciation 48 28 96 56 Amortization 76 69 148 138 Interest 75 75 150 150 ------ ------ ------- ------- Total property management expenses 1,241 1,169 2,467 2,493 Construction Company expenses 154 71 456 135 ------ ------ ------- ------- Total expenses 1,395 1,240 2,923 2,628 ------ ------ ------- ------- Net income (loss) of the Management Company $ 105 $ 71 ($ 25) ($ 95) ====== ====== ======= ======= The increase in property management revenue was the result of higher revenues for managing the Operating Partnership's Communities (which was due to an increase in the number of Communities managed as a result of new developments and acquisitions), offset by a reduction in the average number of communities managed for third parties during 1997 compared to 1996. Total apartment homes managed for third parties was 5,398 and 7,925 at June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Operating Partnership expects third party management revenue as a percentage of total property management revenues to continue to decline as revenues from the Operating Partnership's communities continue to increase. Property management fees include $432,000 and $568,000 of fees from third parties for the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and $906,000 and $1.1 million of fees from third parties for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Construction Company revenues and expenses increased in 1997 compared to 1996 primarily due to the increased number of construction projects. The increase in construction projects was a result of the Operating Partnership's decision to expand its in-house construction operations in the state of Florida to cover the entire geographic area in which the Operating Partnership operates. All of the Construction Company's income is from contracts with the Operating Partnership. 18 19 OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES Interest expense increased $137,000 and $538,000 or 2.8% and 5.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, primarily due to interest on debt related to the Communities acquired in 1997 and interest on Communities in lease-up, offset by the Operating Partnership's repayment of debt in connection with Summit Properties' public offering of 5.75 million shares of Common Stock in August 1996 the proceeds of which were contributed to the Operating Partnership. Depreciation expense increased $993,000 and $2.0 million or 22.4% and 23.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively, primarily due to the 1997 and 1996 Acquisitions, increased depreciation on Communities that were in construction in 1996, but completed by 1997 and Communities in lease-up in 1997. General and administrative expense decreased $39,000 or 3.0% to $1.24 million for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $1.28 million for the same period in 1996 primarily due to decreased compensation costs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Operating Partnership's working capital is primarily provided by operations and an unsecured $150 million credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). The Unsecured Credit Facility has a three year term and currently bears interest at LIBOR + 110 basis points based upon the Operating Partnership's credit rating of BBB- by Standard & Poors Rating Group. The interest rate can be reduced in the event of an upgrade of the Operating Partnership's unsecured credit rating as assigned by Standard & Poors Rating Group (which rating must be accompanied by the comparable senior unsecured bond rating from one of Moody's, Duff & Phelps or Fitch) as follows: S & P CREDIT RATING RATE ------------------- ---- BBB-.................................... LIBOR + 110 BBB..................................... LIBOR + 95 BBB+.................................... LIBOR + 80 The Unsecured Credit Facility provides $25 million for general working capital purposes with the remaining $125 million available to finance new development and acquisitions. The Operating Partnership's outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 1997 totaled $398.9 million. This amount includes approximately $206.7 million in fixed rate conventional mortgages, $53.1 million of variable rate tax-exempt bonds, $31.0 million of unsecured notes, $9.3 million of tax exempt fixed rate loans, and $98.8 million under the variable rate Unsecured Credit Facility. Summit Properties and the Operating Partnership have filed a Form S-3 Registration Statement under which Summit Properties can issue up to $250 million of common stock and preferred stock, and the Operating Partnership can issue up to $250 million of debt securities. 19 20 The Operating Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities increased from $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $27.2 million for the same period in 1997 primarily due to a $7.7 million increase in property operating income. Net cash used in investing activities increased from $46.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $86.5 million for the same period in 1997 primarily due to an increase in the acquisition of Communities and an increase in construction of real estate assets. Net cash provided by financing activities increased from $27.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $61.1 million for the same period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in debt proceeds and Summit Properties equity offering proceeds contributed to the Operating Partnership, partially offset by higher dividends and distributions to unitholders. The increase in debt proceeds was primarily due to borrowings to finance the 1997 Acquisitions. The Operating Partnership expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements (i.e., liquidity requirements arising within twelve months) generally through its net cash provided by operations and borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility. The Operating Partnership believes that its net cash provided by operations will be adequate to meet its operating requirements and to satisfy Summit Properties' applicable REIT dividend payment requirements in both the short-term and in the long-term. Improvements and renovations at existing Communities are expected to also be funded from property operations. The Operating Partnership expects to meet its long-term liquidity requirements (i.e., liquidity requirements arising after twelve months), such as current and future developments, debt maturities, acquisitions, renovations and other non-recurring capital expenditures, with borrowings under its Unsecured Credit Facility, through the issuance of long-term secured and unsecured debt securities and additional equity securities of Summit Properties which will be contributed to the Operating Partnership, or in connection with the acquisition of land or improved property, through the issuance of Units of the Operating Partnership. On May 14, 1997, the Operating Partnership sold a community in Charlotte, North Carolina known as Summit Charleston for $9.5 million. A gain on the sale of approximately $4.4 million was recognized. The Operating Partnership purchased an apartment community to be known as Summit Windsor II for $17.1 million in cash on July 18, 1997. Summit Windsor II, which was developed by the Company in 1988, has 306 apartment homes and is located in Frederick, Maryland. The proceeds from the sale of a community and borrowings on the Unsecured Credit Facility were used to fund the purchase. 20 21 The following table sets forth certain information regarding debt financing as of June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996: PRINCIPAL OUTSTANDING INTEREST ----------------------------- RATE AS OF MATURITY JUNE 30, DECEMBER 31, JUNE 30, 1997 DATE 1997 1996 ---------------- ---------- ------------- -------------- FIXED RATE DEBT (1) MORTGAGE LOAN (2) (3) 5.88% 2/15/01 $121,673 $122,950 MORTGAGE LOAN (2) (3) 7.71% 12/15/05 29,434 29,653 MORTGAGE LOAN (4) 8.00% 09/1/05 8,598 8,638 MORTGAGE NOTES Summit Hollow I 8.00% 11/1/18 2,265 2,286 Summit Hollow II 7.75% 1/1/29 2,577 2,587 Summit Creekside 8.00% 6/1/22 2,857 2,877 Summit Old Town 8.00% 9/1/20 3,073 3,097 Summit Eastchester 8.00% 5/1/21 3,843 3,872 Summit Foxcroft 8.00% 4/1/20 2,759 2,788 Summit Oak 7.75% 12/1/23 2,569 2,585 Summit Sherwood 7.88% 3/1/29 3,316 3,329 Summit Radbourne 9.80% 3/1/02 8,642 8,683 Summit Sand Lake 7.88% 2/15/06 15,128 - TAX EXEMPT MORTGAGE NOTES Summit Crossing 6.95% 11/1/25 4,188 4,213 Summit East Ridge 7.25% 12/1/26 5,129 5,156 ------------- -------------- TOTAL MORTGAGE DEBT 216,051 202,714 ------------- -------------- UNSECURED NOTES Bank Note 7.85% 8/3/02 16,000 16,000 Bank Note 7.61% 8/3/00 15,000 15,000 ------------- -------------- TOTAL UNSECURED NOTES 31,000 31,000 ------------- -------------- TOTAL FIXED RATE DEBT 247,051 233,714 VARIABLE RATE DEBT UNSECURED CREDIT FACILITY LIBOR + 110 9/30/99 98,786 22,357 TAX EXEMPT BONDS(5) Summit Belmont 5.70% 4/1/07 11,650 11,850 Summit Hampton 5.70% 6/1/07 12,490 12,700 Summit Pike Creek 5.70% 8/15/20 13,143 13,262 Summit Gateway 5.70% 7/1/07 7,100 7,300 Summit Stony Point 5.70% 4/1/29 8,670 8,750 ------------- -------------- TOTAL TAX EXEMPT BONDS 53,053 53,862 ------------- -------------- TOTAL VARIABLE RATE DEBT 151,839 76,219 ------------- -------------- TOTAL OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS $398,890 $309,933 ============= ============== (1) With the exception of the Mortgage Loans referred to in Note 3 below, all of the secured debt can be prepaid at any time.

In the event such Credit Enhancements are not renewed or replaced upon termination, the related loan obligations will be accelerated. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at June 30, 1997 was 5.69% DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY The Operating Partnership's developments in process at June 30, 1997 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): TOTAL ESTIMATED ANTICIPATED APARTMENT ESTIMATED COST TO COST TO CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY HOMES COSTS DATE COMPLETE COMPLETION - ---------------------------------------- ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------- Summit Russett-Laurel, MD 314 $ 23,100 $ 22,005 $ 1,095 Summit Stonefield-Yardley, PA 216 18,400 13,817 4,583 Q4 1997 Summit Norcroft II-Charlotte, NC 54 3,750 1,704 2,046 Q4 1997 Summit Sedgebrook I-Charlotte, NC 248 15,600 10,950 4,650 Q4 1997 Summit Ballantyne I-Charlotte, NC 246 16,800 10,855 5,945 Q4 1997 Summit Plantation II-Plantation, FL 240 22,000 16,145 5,855 Q4 1997 Summit Lake I-Raleigh, NC 302 19,700 8,700 11,000 Q2 1998 Summit Fair Lakes I-Fairfax, VA 370 32,900 8,750 24,150 Q4 1998 Summit New Albany-Columbus, OH 301 22,600 4,507 18,093 Q1 1999 ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- 2,291 174,850 97,433 77,417 Other development and construction - - 13,573 - costs ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- 2,291 $ 174,850 $ 111,006 $ 77,417 ============ =========== =========== =========== In addition, the Operating Partnership has a commitment to purchase a community (Summit St. Claire) currently under construction in Atlanta, Georgia for approximately $27.5 million, subject to adjustment based on the percentage of apartment homes leased as of the date of acquisition. The 336 apartment home community is expected to be purchased, after reaching rental stabilization which is currently expected in the fourth quarter of 1998. Estimated costs to complete the development communities and the purchase commitment for Summit St. Claire represent all of the Operating Partnership's material commitments for capital expenditures. 22 23 Certain Factors Affecting the Performance of Development Communities The Operating Partnership is optimistic about the operating prospects of the Communities under construction even with the increased supply of newly constructed apartment homes of comparable quality in many of its markets. As with any development community, there are uncertainties and risks associated with the development of the Communities described above. While the Operating Partnership has prepared development budgets and has estimated completion and stabilization target dates based on what it believes are reasonable assumptions in light of current conditions, there can be no assurance that actual costs will not exceed current budgets or that the Operating Partnership will not experience construction delays due to the unavailability of materials, weather conditions or other events. Other development risks include the possibility of incurring additional cost or liability resulting from defects in construction material and the possibility that financing may not be available on favorable terms, or at all, to pursue or complete development activities. Similarly, market conditions at the time these Communities become available for leasing will affect the rental rates that may be charged and the period of time necessary to achieve stabilization, which could make one or more of the development communities unprofitable or result in achieving stabilization later than currently anticipated. In addition, the Operating Partnership is conducting feasibility and other pre-development work for eight Communities. The Operating Partnership could abandon the development of any one or more of these potential Communities in the event that it determines that market conditions do not support development, financing is not available on favorable terms or other circumstances prevent development. Similarly, there can be no assurance that if the Operating Partnership does pursue one or more of these potential Communities that it will be able to complete construction within the currently estimated development budgets or that construction can be started at the time currently anticipated. CAPITALIZATION OF FIXED ASSETS AND PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS The Operating Partnership has established a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset. All expenditures necessary to maintain a Community in ordinary operating condition (including replacement carpets) are expensed as incurred. The Operating Partnership has a capital expenditure replacement program whereby various physical components are replaced as necessary to maintain the Communities in normal operating condition. Certain physical components may be replaced other than at regular inspection intervals when extraordinary wear has occurred. The Operating Partnership also makes capital expenditures for new physical components if these expenditures will produce sufficient revenue enhancements as to achieve acceptable returns on invested capital. There are currently no material commitments with respect to renovation or improvements at existing facilities. 23 24 Capitalized expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands): SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, -------------------------- 1997 1996 -------- ------- Acquisition of new Communities (1) $ 65,170 $21,913 Construction of new Communities (2) 44,950 37,617 Capitalized interest 2,948 1,927 Non-recurring capital expenditures: Construction of garages 13 720 Access gates 68 65 New signage 76 52 Water meters 19 173 Washer/dryer units 18 58 Major improvements 1,949 758 Other 4 13 -------- ------- Total non-recurring capital expenditures 2,147 1,839 -------- ------- Recurring capital expenditures: Exterior painting 558 465 Other community additions and improvements 852 935 Corporate additions 61 3 -------- ------- Total recurring capital expenditures 1,471 1,403 -------- ------- $116,686 $64,699 ======== ======= (1) Includes the issuance of Units with a value of $8.9 million and assumption of debt of $15.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997. (2) Includes issuance of $2.1 million of Units for the acquisition of land in 1996. Construction of Communities was funded primarily by development loans, Summit Properties equity offering proceeds contributed to the Operating Partnership and borrowing under the Operating Partnership's credit facilities. Other additions and improvements were funded primarily by Community operations and the Operating Partnership's credit facilities. INFLATION Substantially all of the leases at the Communities are for a term of one year or less, which, coupled with the relatively high occupancy rates, may enable the Operating Partnership to seek increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or commencement of new leases. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the Operating Partnership of the adverse effect of inflation. 24 25 FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS The White Paper on Funds from Operations approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in March 1995 defines Funds from Operations as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Operating Partnership computes Funds from Operations in accordance with the standards established by the White Paper, which may differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Funds Available for Distribution is defined as Funds from Operations less capital expenditures funded by operations (recurring capital expenditures). The Operating Partnership's methodology for calculating Funds Available for Distribution may differ from the methodology for calculating Funds Available for Distribution utilized by other REITs, and accordingly, may not be comparable to other REITs. Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, property acquisitions, development, distributions or other commitments and uncertainties. Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Operating Partnership's financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Operating Partnership's liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Operating Partnership's cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Operating Partnership believes Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution is helpful to investors as measures of the performance of the Operating Partnership because, along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they provide investors with an understanding of the ability of the Operating Partnership to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. 25 26 Funds from Operations and Funds Available for Distribution for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 are calculated as follows (dollars in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, JUNE 30, ------------------------------- ------------------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Net income $ 11,222 $ 4,345 $ 18,150 $ 8,582 Gain on sale of real estate assets (4,366) -- (4,366) -- Depreciation: Operating Communities 5,421 4,428 10,593 8,549 Summit Plantation -- -- -- 33 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Funds from Operations 12,277 8,773 24,377 17,164 Recurring capital expenditures (1) (1,016) (842) (1,471) (1,403) ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ Funds Available for Distribution $ 11,261 $ 7,931 $ 22,906 $ 15,761 ============ ============ ============ ============ Weighted average shares and units outstanding 27,333,968 20,624,614 27,192,559 20,618,684 ============ ============ ============ ============ (1) Recurring capital expenditures are expected to be funded from operations and consist primarily of exterior painting, new appliances, vinyl, blinds, tile, and wallpaper. In contrast, non-recurring capital expenditures, such as major improvements, new garages and access gates, are expected to be funded by financing activities and are therefore not included in the calculation of Funds Available for Distribution. 26 27 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 2 CHANGES IN SECURITIES During the past three months ended June 30,1997 the Operating Partnership has issued Units in private placements in reliance on the exemption from registration under section 4(2) of the Securities Act in the amounts and for the consideration set forth below: A. Summit Properties has issued an aggregate of 7,208 shares of Common Stock pursuant to its Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Summit Properties has contributed the proceeds (approximately $144,000) of these sales to the Operating Partnership in consideration of an aggregate of 7,208 Units. B. Summit Properties has issued an aggregate of 5,420 shares of Common Stock in connection with restricted stock awards. Each time a share of Common Stock is issued in connection with such an award, the Operating Partnership issues a Unit to Summit Properties; consequently, 5,420 Units have been issued to Summit Properties to date. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS On June 18, 1997, the Operating Partnership partners were asked to consider a proposal (the "Proposal") to approve the Amendment No. 10 to the Limited Partnership Agreement (the "Agreement") of the Operating Partnership, which amendment modified certain provisions of the agreement applicable in certain mergers, consolidations or asset transfers. With respect to the Proposal, the partners of the Operating Partnership voted by a vote of 27.3 million votes of Units of the Operating Partnership in favor of the Proposal, in excess of a majority of eligible votes, with no votes against Amendment No. 10 to the Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership.
