ITEM 5:  OTHER EVENTS

         On February 6, 1997, April 22, 1997, May 14, 1997 and May 30, 1997,
Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") acquired certain assets,
consisting principally of the Multifamily Properties as further described
below from the named sellers (the "Asset Purchases"). The Asset Purchases were
as follows:



   Date of
   Purchase                    Seller                             Name of Multifamily Property             Suites

02/06/97        Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,              The Gables at White River                 228

                    corporation                                                                             ---     
                                                                                                            746
                                                                                                            ===



         The Company also acquired a 10.2 acre land parcel in Franklin, Ohio on
March 7, 1997 from Dennis R. Morris and Patricia D. Morris (the "Land
Acquisition"). The Land Acquisition is presently zoned for the construction of
multifamily apartments and is located adjacent to a multifamily property
presently owned by the Company.

         The seller of Oak Bend Apartments is in the process of constructing 12
suites contained in two buildings on land which was acquired by the Company as
part of the purchase transaction. The land on which the 12 suites are being
constructed is adjacent to the land on which 90 suites acquired by the Company
are located. The Company has agreed to acquire the 12 suites from the seller
once construction has been completed to the satisfaction of the Company. There
can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in
consummating this transaction.

         With respect to the Asset Purchases and Land Acquisition (as
applicable), the Company purchased all of the above named sellers' rights, title
and interests in the apartment complex and land together with all rights of way,
easements, licenses, permits, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, the right to
manage, other intangible assets, leases and tenancies (collectively referred to
as the "Acquired Assets"), and all guaranties, warranties and other intangible
rights pertaining to the Acquired Assets.

         On March 31, 1997 the Company acquired 100% of the partnership
interests of the following partnership which owned the apartment complex
described below:



     Date of
    Purchase                   Seller                         Name of Multifamily Property       Suites
    --------     -----------------------------------          ----------------------------       ------

                                                                                                  
03/31/97         Forest Park II Limited Partnership,          Remington Place Apartments          234
                    A Connecticut limited partnership


         Following the acquisition of the partnership interests, the Partnership
was dissolved and title to the real property and all buildings, fixtures and
other improvements, including but not limited to the apartment complex
(collectively referred to as the "Partnership Property"), was transferred to the
Company.

         As referred to herein, "Acquired Properties" refers to both the
Acquired Assets and the Partnership Property, none of which individually
constitutes a significant subsidiary.

                                        2

         Neither the Company nor any of its shareholders owned any interests in
the sellers prior to the acquisition of the Acquired Properties by the Company.
The purchase price of the Acquired Properties was approximately $53.5 million,
of which $2.6 million represented liabilities assumed.

         In determining the price paid for the Acquired Properties, the Company
considered the historical and expected cash flow from the Acquired Properties,
the nature of the occupancy trends and terms of the leases in place, current
operating costs and taxes, the physical condition of the Acquired Properties,
the potential to increase their cash flow and other factors. The Company also
considered the capitalization rates at which it believes apartment properties
have recently sold, but determined the prices it was willing to pay for the
Acquired Properties primarily based on the factors discussed above. No
independent appraisals were performed in connection with the acquisitions. The
Company, after investigation of the properties, is not aware of any material
factors, other than those enumerated above, that would cause the financial
information reported to not be necessarily indicative of future expected
operating results.

         Certain other information concerning the Acquired Properties is
summarized below. The cash purchase price of the Acquired Properties has been
financed primarily with cash on hand made available through the Company's
revolving credit facility (the "Line of Credit"). The Acquired Properties have
been operated, since construction, as rental properties. The Company will manage
all of the Acquired Properties.

ITEM 7:  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

Financial Statements
- --------------------

         This report includes (i) unaudited statements of revenue and certain
expenses of The Gables at White River, Remington Place Apartments and Saw Mill
Village Apartments (collectively the "Selected Acquisition


                                        3
   4



Properties") for the period ended March 31, 1997 or date of acquisition,
whichever is earlier, and (ii) audited statements of revenue and certain
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1996 for each of the Selected
Acquisition Properties.

        An audited statement of revenues and certain expenses for the year
ended December 31, 1996 for Hawthorne Hills Apartments has not been presented
as this Multifamily Property was not considered individually significant to
satisfy the audit requirements of Rule 3-14.

        An audited statement of revenues and certain expenses for the year      
ended December 31, 1996 for Oak Bend Apartments was not presented because the
property was under development and in the lease-up phase and, accordingly, the
related operating information of the property would not be meaningful.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)
- -------------------------------------------

        Unaudited pro forma financial information of the Company and the
Acquired Properties is presented as follows:


        -    Condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1997;
             
        -    Condensed statement of operations for the three months ended
             March 31, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996, and;
             
        -    Estimated twelve-month pro forma statement of taxable net
             operating income and operating funds available.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Associated Estates Realty Corporation

We have audited the accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses of
The Gables, Remington Place and Saw Mill Village Apartments for the year ended
December 31, 1996. These historical statements are the responsibility of
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these historical
statements based upon our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the historical statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the historical statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the historical statements. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical statements were prepared on the basis described in
Note 2, for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form
8-K of Associated Estates Realty Corporation) and are not intended to be a
complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of The Gables, Remington
Place and Saw Mill Village Apartments.

In our opinion, the historical statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses of The Gables, Remington
Place and Saw Mill Village Apartments on the basis described in Note 2 for the
year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses have been
prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

         The accompanying financial statements are not representative of the
actual operations for the periods presented, because certain expenses which may
not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by the Company in the future
operations of the properties have been excluded. Expenses excluded consist of
depreciation on the building and improvements and amortization of organization
costs and other intangible assets, interest expense and other general and
administrative expenses not directly related to the future operations of the
Selected Acquisition Properties.

INCOME RECOGNITION

         Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due
from tenants.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE

         Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as
incurred. Betterments that improve or extend the life of the asset beyond its
original condition are capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with resident
turnover are charged to operations.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The financial data for the period ended March 31, 1997 or date of
acquisition, whichever is earlier, is unaudited; however, in the opinion of the
Company, the interim data includes adjustments consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the
interim period. The results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet is presented

forma information is based upon the historical consolidated balance sheet of
the Company as of that date, giving effect to the transactions described above.
This pro forma condensed balance sheet should be read in conjunction with the
pro forma condensed statement of operations of the Company and the historical
financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included in the
Associated Estates Realty Corporation Form 10-Q for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.

         This unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet is not necessarily
