                                    SUMMARY
 
  Shareholders are urged to review the entire Prospectus. All references to
Homestead Village Incorporated's operations include PTR, ATLANTIC and Security
Capital Group Incorporated ("SCG") operations with respect to Homestead
Village(R) properties. Homestead Village(R) is a registered trademark of SCG,
which will be assigned to Homestead as a part of the Transaction. The term
"Homestead Village" as used herein shall include a reference to such registered
trademark. All references to the ATLANTIC initial public offering of shares of
ATLANTIC Common Stock (the "ATLANTIC IPO") assumes (i) an estimated initial
public offering price of $24.00 per share (the midpoint of the range of
estimated initial public offering prices for the ATLANTIC IPO) and (ii) no
exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. Unless otherwise
indicated, all ATLANTIC share and per share amounts have been adjusted to give
effect to ATLANTIC's one-for-two reverse stock split, which was effective on
September 10, 1996 and all Homestead property information is as of October 11,
1996.
 
                         HOMESTEAD VILLAGE INCORPORATED
 
  The first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992 by PTR. Since then
PTR has developed and placed into operation 27 additional Homestead Village
properties and ATLANTIC has developed and placed into operation one Homestead
Village property. Homestead was organized in January 1996 to continue the
operations of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG with respect to their respective moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging facilities. Homestead will develop, own and
manage moderate priced, extended-stay lodging facilities designed to appeal to
value-conscious customers on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or in
training.
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging
business. Homestead expects to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead operated 29 facilities, had begun construction
of 18 additional facilities and had an additional 33 properties in pre-
development planning, for a total of 80 properties. Homestead is processing
entitlements on 39 additional sites it has under contract, which, if acquired,
would bring Homestead's total number of properties completed or under
development to 119. In addition, its development staff of 55 professionals is
reviewing additional development opportunities in 29 cities. The term "in pre-
development planning" means developments owned or under control (land which is
under control through contingent contract) with construction anticipated to
commence within 12 months. Homestead's facilities are designed and built to
uniform plans developed by Homestead. Homestead expects to have a total of 31
facilities operational and 41 facilities under construction by the end of 1996
and plans to continue an active development program thereafter. Homestead's
plans call for the average facility to have approximately 136 extended-stay
rooms and take approximately eight to ten months to construct.
 
  The average length of stay for a customer is in excess of four weeks. For the
eight months ended August 31, 1996, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for 20 stabilized properties was 83% and $213 per week,
respectively, and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for nine pre-stabilized properties was 69% and $227 per week,
respectively. Homestead categorizes its operating properties (which include all
properties not under construction or in pre-development planning) as either
"stabilized" or "pre-stabilized." The term "stabilized" means that construction
has been completed and management and marketing programs have been in place for
a sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12 months) to achieve
an 80% occupancy level for five consecutive weeks at market rates. Prior to
being "stabilized," an operating property is considered to be "pre-stabilized."
All operating properties have been newly developed by Homestead.
 
                                       2

  Homestead believes that it is distinguished from its competitors in the
moderate priced, extended-stay lodging business in several respects.
 
  . Homestead has been developing and operating moderate priced, extended-
    stay facilities since 1992. It has in place a staff of 87 professionals
    who have substantial experience in the real estate and lodging industries
    and has 318 site-level employees. Most of these individuals were
    previously employed by affiliates of SCG which operated and managed the
    Homestead Village properties on behalf of PTR and ATLANTIC in similar
    capacities to those they will have with Homestead.
 
  . Homestead operates 29 facilities in eight cities and will operate
    nationally. It expects to have 31 facilities in eight cities operating by
    the end of 1996.
 
  . Homestead has access to substantial financing through (i) the Funding
    Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC (described herein), under
    which PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to provide funding of $129 million and
    $111 million, respectively, and to receive convertible mortgage notes of
    $144 million and $98 million, respectively, in respect thereof and (ii)
    the Investor Agreement with SCG (described herein) under which SCG has
    agreed to exercise upon notice from Homestead all of the Homestead
    Warrants it will receive directly and indirectly as part of the
    Transaction (as defined below) with an aggregate exercise price of
    approximately $48 million. This access to capital should provide
    Homestead with sufficient capital to fund its national development
    program through mid-1997 without having to seek additional external
    financing.
 
  . Homestead is affiliated with SCG, which will be the principal shareholder
    of Homestead and will be entitled to representation on the board of
    directors of Homestead (the "Homestead Board"). Homestead will be self-
    managed but will have access to various services which SCG offers to its
    real estate affiliates. These and other services will be available to
    Homestead under an Administrative Services Agreement (described herein).
    See "Business--Administrative Services Agreement." Homestead believes
    that it can purchase these services from SCG at a price which would be
    less expensive than hiring the necessary personnel to perform these
    services, and that the level of services SCG can provide would be higher
    than Homestead could provide internally due to SCG's large, experienced
    staff and economies of scale.
 
  Homestead was formed in 1996 as a Maryland corporation and will operate as a
Subchapter C corporation. Its executive offices are located at 2030 Powers
Ferry Road, Suite 222, Atlanta, Georgia 30339 and its telephone number is (770)
303-2200.
 
                                THE TRANSACTION
 
  Assuming that the conditions to the Merger and Distribution Agreement, dated
as of May 21, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement" and, collectively with all of the
transactions contemplated thereby and the Distribution, the "Transaction"),
among PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG and Homestead, have been satisfied or waived, each of
PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG will contribute, through a series of merger transactions
(the "Mergers"), all of their respective assets related to Homestead Village
properties in return for shares of Homestead Common Stock and Homestead
Warrants as follows:
 
  . PTR will contribute 54 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727 shares of Homestead
    Common Stock.
 
  . ATLANTIC will contribute 26 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 4,201,220 shares of Homestead
    Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC will provide an
    estimated cash payment of $18.6 million to Homestead at the date of the
    closing of the Mergers (the "Closing Date"). This payment is required
    because ATLANTIC's Homestead Village properties are in earlier stages of
    development than PTR's Homestead Village
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
   properties, therefore ATLANTIC has not funded the same percentage of total
   costs as PTR. This payment also assures that ATLANTIC receives all of its
   shares of Homestead Common Stock at the Closing Date rather than being
   received in smaller increments over time as funds are expended for
   Homestead Village properties contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
  . SCG will contribute to Homestead its anticipated future cash flows from
    the PTR and ATLANTIC real estate investment trust ("REIT") management
    agreements and property management agreements relating to the Homestead
    Village properties in exchange for 1,819,750 shares of Homestead Common
    Stock, not including 2,243,038 shares which will be placed in escrow and
    released as funds are advanced under the Funding Commitment Agreements.
    In addition, SCG will contribute the Homestead Village trademark and the
    operating system. No separate consideration was attributed to the
    Homestead Village trademark or the operating system, as the trademark and
    the operating system would be necessary to achieve the anticipated fees.
    There are additional Homestead Village facilities which are in early
    stages of planning, but which are not owned or under control and are not
    included in the 80 facilities which will be contributed in the
    Transaction, and are being planned and developed outside the target
    markets of PTR and ATLANTIC by SCG with its own funds. SCG will
    contribute the rights to certain properties to Homestead for no
    additional consideration.
 
  . Simultaneous with the transactions described above, PTR and ATLANTIC will
    receive 6,363,789 and 2,818,517 Homestead Warrants, respectively, in
    exchange for their entering into the Funding Commitment Agreements. Each
    Homestead Warrant is exercisable at $10.00 per share and expires one year
    after the Distribution Record Date.
 
  . Pursuant to the applicable Funding Commitment Agreement, PTR and ATLANTIC
    will agree to provide secured financing to Homestead of up to $129
    million and $111 million, respectively, and to receive convertible
    mortgage notes in respect thereof. These notes will have a term of
    approximately ten years, will bear interest at 9% per year, will not be
    callable for five years and will be convertible into shares of Homestead
    Common Stock after March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead
    Common Stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding, subject to
    antidilution adjustment. The PTR mortgage loans and ATLANTIC mortgage
    loans will be used to finance the acquisition and development of
    properties contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively. In addition,
    PTR subsidiaries had $77,289,000 in convertible mortgage loans with PTR
    which will be assumed by Homestead at the Closing Date. These loans have
    substantially the same terms as the mortgage loans described above. If
    all such mortgage loans were made and converted, an additional 19,246,402
    and 8,524,215 shares of Homestead Common Stock would be issued to PTR and
    ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
  . SCG will receive 817,694 Homestead Warrants in exchange for providing
    funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of the Merger
    Agreement and the Closing Date and the use of office facilities for one
    year.
 
  . The relative percentage ownership interests of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG in
    Homestead, giving effect to the issuance of the Homestead Common Stock at
    the Closing Date, the exercise of all Homestead Warrants and the
    conversion of all mortgage loans outstanding and which could be made
    under the Funding Commitment Agreements, would be 63.21%, 28.00% and
    8.79%, respectively (before giving effect to the Distribution of the
    Homestead Securities by PTR and ATLANTIC). These percentages are
    different than the relative percentage ownership interests described
    elsewhere because the convertible mortgage loans issuable to PTR and
    ATLANTIC have a conversion price of $11.50 per share rather than the
    $10.00 per share used in calculating the original issuance of the
    Homestead Common Stock.
 
  . After giving effect to the Atlantic IPO, the Distribution of the
    Homestead Securities by PTR and ATLANTIC, the exercise of all Homestead
    Warrants, the release of all shares of Homestead Common Stock to SCG from
    escrow and the conversion of all mortgage loans and the subsequent
    distribution of the Homestead Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
    to the shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC, SCG would own approximately
    48.8% of the outstanding Homestead Common Stock.

  PTR's and ATLANTIC's respective shareholders approved the Transaction on
September 12, 1996 and September 13, 1996, respectively.
 
                                THE DISTRIBUTION
 
  The shares of Homestead Common Stock and Homestead Warrants being distributed

    considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as
    a measure of operating performance and is not necessarily indicative of
    cash available to fund cash needs. Homestead has included EBITDA herein
    because Homestead believes that it is one measure used by certain investors
    to determine operating cash flow. EBITDA, as calculated above, may not be
    comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Holders of Homestead Securities should consider carefully the specific
factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in either
the PTR Proxy Statement and Prospectus or the ATLANTIC Information Statement
and Prospectus, as appropriate, including this Prospectus.
 
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
 
  As of October 31, 1996, SCG beneficially owned approximately 37.6% of the
issued and outstanding PTR Common Shares and 64.1% of the issued and
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC Common Stock (57.8% after giving effect to the
ATLANTIC IPO). Immediately after completion of the Mergers, SCG is expected to
beneficially own 1,819,750 shares of Homestead Common Stock, not including
2,243,038 shares of Homestead Common Stock which will be held in escrow and
released to SCG as funding is made by ATLANTIC and PTR under their Funding
Commitment Agreements. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
Agreement." As a result of the ATLANTIC IPO and the distribution by PTR and
ATLANTIC to their respective shareholders, SCG expects to beneficially own an
additional 5,832,620 shares of Homestead Common Stock for a total of 7,651,370
shares of Homestead Common Stock or approximately 44.0% of the outstanding
shares of Homestead Common Stock. Through its beneficial ownership of
Homestead Common Stock, it is expected that SCG will control 44.0% of the vote
on all matters submitted for Homestead shareholder action. The foregoing share
ownership information does not give effect to the issuance of shares upon
exercise of options or other awards granted under Homestead's Long-Term
Incentive Plan. See "Management--Long-Term Incentive Plan." SCG will also own
Homestead Warrants to acquire an additional 4,730,014 shares of Homestead
Common Stock, which, if fully exercised, would increase SCG's beneficial
ownership of Homestead Common Stock to 56.0%. SCG may, over time, dispose of
some of the shares of Homestead Common Stock it acquires in the Transaction to
reduce its beneficial ownership in Homestead to below 50%. In addition,
pursuant to an Investor Agreement between SCG and Homestead, SCG will agree to
exercise at the request of Homestead all Homestead Warrants it receives in the
Transaction. In exchange for its agreement to exercise Homestead Warrants,
Homestead will grant SCG the right, among other things, to nominate up to two
directors to the Homestead Board, depending upon SCG's level of ownership of
shares of Homestead Common Stock, and to be consulted on certain business
decisions made by Homestead. In addition, pursuant to Investor Agreements with
PTR and ATLANTIC, each of PTR and ATLANTIC will have the right to nominate one
director to the Homestead Board. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--
PTR and ATLANTIC Investor Agreements" and "--SCG Investor Agreement."
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
 
  Although the first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992, Homestead
has a limited operating history as a separate entity upon which investors may
evaluate Homestead's performance. In addition, Homestead has no operating
history except during the recent economic expansion. There can be no assurance
that Homestead will be profitable in the future.
 
RISKS OF BORROWING
 
  As of the Closing Date, Homestead will assume approximately $77 million of
indebtedness secured by convertible mortgages on Homestead's properties and
various accounts and other assets. Homestead will incur additional debt
(including up to approximately $242 million of additional convertible
mortgages from PTR and ATLANTIC) from time to time, including construction
loans to finance the construction of extended-stay lodging facilities and
future acquisitions of land for development. The obligations under the
mortgage loans with PTR and ATLANTIC and the terms thereof, including the
maturity date and interest rate, have been fixed as of the date of the Merger
Agreement. There can be no assurance that Homestead could not obtain better
terms for such mortgage loans, if the terms were to be determined on the date
a mortgage loan is made to Homestead. In addition, leverage increases the
risks to Homestead of any variations in its results of operations,
construction cost overruns or any other factors affecting its cash flow or
liquidity. In addition, Homestead's interest costs could increase as the
result of general market increases in interest rates because Homestead expects
to enter into a revolving credit facility which will bear interest at floating
rates.

<PAGE>
 
GENERAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
  Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real
estate cash flows and values are affected by a number of factors, including
changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an
oversupply of extended-stay properties or a reduction in rental demand in an
area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other
available extended-stay properties and the ability of the owner to provide
adequate maintenance and insurance and to control operating costs. Although
Homestead seeks to minimize these risks through its market research and asset
management capabilities, these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. Real
estate cash flows and values are also affected by such factors as government
regulations, including zoning and tax laws, interest rate levels, the
availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in,
environmental and other laws.
 
  Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may
tend to limit the ability of Homestead to react promptly to changes in
economic or other conditions. In addition, certain significant expenditures
associated with equity investments (such as mortgage payments, real estate
taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances
cause a reduction in income from the investments. There can be no assurance
that Homestead will be able to dispose of an investment when it finds
disposition advantageous or necessary or that the sale price of any
disposition will recoup or exceed the amount of Homestead's investment.
 
DEVELOPMENT RISKS
 
  Homestead intends to grow by developing additional company-owned moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging facilities. Development involves substantial
risks, including the risk that development costs will exceed budgeted or
contracted amounts, the risk of delays in completion of construction, the risk
of failing to obtain all necessary zoning and construction permits, the risk
that financing might not be available on favorable terms, the risk that
developed properties will not achieve desired revenue or profitability levels
once opened, the risk of competition for suitable development sites from
competitors which have greater financial resources than Homestead, the risks
of incurring substantial costs in the event a development project must be
abandoned prior to completion, changes in governmental rules, regulations and
interpretations (including interpretations of the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA")) and general economic and
business conditions. Although Homestead intends to manage development to
reduce such risks, there can be no assurance that present or future
developments will perform in accordance with Homestead's expectations. At
August 31, 1996, Homestead had 18 facilities under construction, expects to
have 41 facilities under construction at the end of 1996 and plans to continue
an active development program thereafter. All construction will be performed
by third party general contractors overseen by Homestead's development group.
Under the Funding Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC, if there are
cost overruns Homestead must complete the development of each property funded
by PTR or ATLANTIC consistent with the development plans for such project with
its own funds. There can be no assurance, however, that Homestead will
complete the development and construction of the facilities, or that any such
developments will be completed in a timely manner or within budget.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID GROWTH
 
  Homestead's rapid development plans will require the implementation of
enhanced operational and financial systems and will require additional
management, operational and financial resources. For example, Homestead will
be required to recruit and train property managers and other personnel for
each new lodging facility as well as additional accounting personnel. There
can be no assurance that Homestead will be able to manage its expanding
operations effectively. The failure to implement such systems and add such
resources on a cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on
Homestead's results of operations and financial condition.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  The moderate priced, extended-stay segment of the lodging industry, in which
Homestead operates, may be adversely affected by changes in national or local
economic conditions and other local market conditions, such
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
as an oversupply of hotel space or a reduction in demand for hotel space in a
geographic area, changes in travel patterns, extreme weather conditions,
changes in governmental regulations which influence or determine wages, prices
or construction costs, changes in interest rates, the availability of
financing for operating or capital needs and changes in real estate tax rates
and other operating expenses. Homestead's principal assets will consist of
real property, and real estate values are sensitive to changes in local market
and economic conditions and to fluctuations in the economy as a whole. In
addition, due in part to the strong correlation between the lodging industry's
performance and economic conditions, the lodging industry is subject to
cyclical changes in revenue and profits. These risks may be exacerbated by the
relatively illiquid nature of real estate holdings. In addition, Homestead has
no operating history except during the recent economic expansion. The ability
of Homestead to vary its portfolio in response to changes in economic and
other conditions will be limited. There can be no assurance that downturns or
prolonged adverse conditions in real estate or capital markets or in national
or local economies, and the inability of Homestead to dispose of an investment
when it finds disposition to be advantageous or necessary, will not have a
material adverse impact on Homestead.
 
COMPETITION IN THE LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  There is no single competitor or small number of competitors of Homestead
that is or are dominant in the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging market.
Competition in the U.S. lodging industry is based generally on convenience of
location, price, range of services and guest amenities offered and quality of
customer service. Homestead considers the reasonableness of its room rates,
the location of its lodging facilities and the services and the guest
amenities provided by it to be among the most important factors in its
business. Demographic or other changes in one or more of Homestead's markets
could impact the convenience or desirability of the sites of certain lodging
facilities, which would adversely affect their operations. Further, there can
be no assurance that new or existing competitors will not significantly lower
rates or offer greater convenience, services or amenities or significantly
expand or improve facilities in a market in which Homestead's facilities
compete, thereby adversely affecting Homestead's operations. There have been a
number of recent announcements indicating that a substantial number of
competitors intend to enter the moderate priced or economy extended-stay
lodging market, which could adversely affect Homestead's business. See
"Business--Competition."
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
 
  PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to make convertible mortgage loans to Homestead
to develop the properties being contributed by them (see "Certain
Relationships and Transactions--Funding Commitment Agreements") and SCG has
agreed to exercise at the request of Homestead all of its Homestead Warrants
which it will receive in the Transaction. Homestead anticipates that the
proceeds from the loans and exercise of warrants will provide sufficient
capital for its operations through mid-1997. Thereafter, Homestead may need to
procure additional financing over time, the amount of which will depend on a
number of factors including the number of properties Homestead constructs and
the cash flow generated by its properties. If additional financing is needed,
there can be no assurance regarding the availability or terms of such
financing Homestead may be able to procure over time. Any future debt
financings or issuances of preferred stock by Homestead will be senior to the
rights of the holders of Homestead Common Stock, and any future issuances of
Homestead Common Stock will result in the dilution of the then existing
shareholders' proportionate equity interests in Homestead. Although Homestead
is unable to quantify its needs for additional financing, such needs will
depend upon a number of factors, including the pace of Homestead's development
activities and its ability to generate cash from operations.
 
IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of such removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew
 
                                      10
<PAGE>
 
of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws
impose liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials into the
air, pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners or
operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with such
materials, and prescribe specific methods for the removal and disposal of such
materials. Homestead has not been notified by any governmental authority of
any non-compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of the
properties currently owned or being acquired, and Homestead is not aware of
any environmental condition with respect to any of the properties, which is
likely to be material. Homestead has subjected each of its properties to a
Phase I environmental site assessment ("Phase I Survey") (which does not
involve invasive procedures such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by
independent consultants. While some of these assessments have led to further
investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments has
revealed, nor is Homestead aware of, any environmental liability (including
asbestos-related liability) that management believes would have a material
adverse effect on Homestead's business, financial position or results of
operations. No assurance can be given, however, that these assessments and
investigations reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that no prior
owner or operator created any material environmental condition not known to
Homestead or the independent consultants or that future uses and conditions
(including, without limitation, resident actions or changes in applicable
environmental laws and regulations) will not result in the imposition of
environmental liabilities.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
 
  The lodging industry is subject to numerous federal, state and local
government regulations including those relating to building and zoning
requirements. Also, Homestead is subject to laws governing its relationships
with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working
conditions and work permit requirements. An increase in the minimum wage rate,
employee benefit costs or other costs associated with employees could
adversely impact Homestead's results of operations or financial condition. In
addition, in accordance with the provisions of the ADA, all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. While Homestead believes that its
facilities are in compliance with these requirements, a determination that
Homestead is not in compliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of
fines or an award of damages to private litigants. In addition, changes in
governmental rules and regulations or enforcement policies affecting the use
and operation of the facilities, including changes to building codes and fire
and life-safety codes, may occur. If Homestead were required to make
substantial modifications at its facilities to comply with interpretations of
the ADA or other changes in governmental rules and regulations, Homestead's
financial condition and ability to develop new facilities could be materially
adversely affected.
 
LOSSES IN EXCESS OF INSURANCE COVERAGE
 
  Homestead intends to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of its
properties, including liability, fire and extended coverage, in the types and
amounts customarily obtained by an owner and operator in Homestead's industry.
Nevertheless, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic
nature, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, that may be uninsurable or
not economically insurable. Homestead uses its discretion in determining
amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a
view to obtaining appropriate insurance on Homestead's properties at a
reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in insurance coverage
that in the event of a loss would not be sufficient to pay the full current
market value or current replacement value of Homestead's lost investment and
the insurance proceeds received by Homestead might not be adequate to restore
its economic position with respect to such property.
 
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
  Homestead's success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and
abilities of its senior management and key employees, particularly David C.
Dressler, Jr., Chairman and President, John Patterson and Donald Schultz, each
a Senior Vice President, and, Gary DeLapp, a Vice President. The loss of the
services of
 
                                      11
<PAGE>
 
any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect upon Homestead.
See "Management--Directors and Executive Officers." Homestead does not have
employment or consulting agreements with any of its officers nor does it carry
key man life insurance on any of its officers.
 
LIMITATIONS ON CHANGES IN CONTROL
 
  Shareholder Purchase Rights. On May 16, 1996, the Homestead Board authorized
a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each
share of Homestead Common Stock outstanding. Each Purchase Right entitles the
holder under certain circumstances to purchase from Homestead one one-
hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of
$50.00 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or group of persons
(other than SCG, PTR or ATLANTIC) acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more
of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock or announces a tender
offer for beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding shares of
Homestead Common Stock. Under certain circumstances, each Purchase Right
entitles the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise
price, a number of shares of Homestead Common Stock having a market value of
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition of Homestead
pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions would entitle each
holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a
number of the acquiring company's common shares having a market value at that
time equal to twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights
held by certain 20% shareholders (other than SCG, PTR or ATLANTIC) would not
be exercisable. The Purchase Rights will expire in May 2006 and are subject to
redemption in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right
payable in cash, shares of Homestead Common Stock or any other form of
consideration determined by the Homestead Board.
 
  The Purchase Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects, may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead
and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of shareholders. See
"Description of Homestead Securities--Purchase Rights."
 
  Preferred Shares. The Homestead charter (the "Homestead Charter") authorizes
the Homestead Board to issue shares of preferred stock and to establish the
preferences and rights of any shares of preferred stock so issued. See
"Description of Homestead Securities--Preferred Stock." The issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of Homestead even if a change in control were in the
shareholders' interests.
 
  Advance Notice Provisions. For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, the
Homestead Bylaws require such shareholder to deliver a notice to the
Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting
setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the
election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); (ii) as to any other business that the
shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business at the
meeting and any material interest in such business of such shareholder and of
the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii)
as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on
whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of
such shareholder as it appears on Homestead's books and of such beneficial
owner and (y) the number of shares of each class of Homestead Common Stock
which are owned beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such
beneficial owner, if any.
 
  Classified Board. The Homestead Board has been divided into three classes.
At the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders, one class will be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in
1998, another class will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999 and another class will be
elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual
 
                                      12
<PAGE>
 
meeting of shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class expires,
directors in that class will be elected for a term of three years and until
their successors are duly elected and qualified. Since at least two annual
meetings will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of the
Homestead Board, this provision could have the effect of delaying, deferring
or preventing a change in control of Homestead even if a change in control
were in the shareholders' interests.
 
  Certain Statutory Provisions. Homestead is subject to the Maryland General
Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), which imposes certain restrictions and requires
certain procedures with respect to the acquisition of certain levels of share
ownership and business combinations, including combinations with interested
shareholders. These provisions of the MGCL could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead even if a change in
control were in the shareholders' interest. Additionally, the Homestead
Charter exempts SCG, its affiliates and successors from these provisions,
allowing SCG, its affiliates and successors to take actions that other persons
are prohibited from taking, which actions may not be in the best interests of
the shareholders other than SCG. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and
of Homestead's Charter and Bylaws."
 
ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET
 
  Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, there will be no public market
for the Homestead Securities. The Homestead Common Stock and the Homestead
Warrants have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange,
subject to official notice of issuance. There can be no assurance that an
active trading market will develop. In addition, there can be no assurance of
the price at which holders of the Homestead Common Stock or Homestead Warrants
will be able to sell such Homestead Securities. From time to time, the stock
market experiences significant price and volume volatility, which may affect
the market price of the Homestead Common Stock or Homestead Warrants for
reasons unrelated to Homestead's performance.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Sales of a substantial number of shares of Homestead Common Stock, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price for Homestead Common Stock. Upon completion of the Distribution,
Homestead will have 17,749,735 shares of Homestead Common Stock outstanding.
Except for shares issued to SCG, all such shares, as well as 10,000,000 shares
issuable upon exercise of Homestead Warrants (other than those issued to SCG),
may be sold in the public markets without limitation. Additionally, up to
6,720,783 shares of Homestead Common Stock may be issuable upon exercise of
outstanding convertible mortgage notes and up to 21,049,834 shares of
Homestead Common Stock may be issuable upon exercise of convertible mortgage
notes to be issued pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements (described
herein). All such shares of Homestead Common Stock may be sold in the public
markets pursuant to registration rights or available exemptions from
registration. See "Shares Available for Future Sale." No prediction can be
made regarding the effect of future sales of Homestead Common Stock on the
market price thereof.
 
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS
 
  Homestead intends to retain its earnings to finance its growth and for
general corporate purposes and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy."
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  Homestead is a newly organized company. For Federal income tax purposes,
Homestead is organized as a Subchapter C corporation rather than a real estate
investment trust. As a result, it is under no obligation to distribute
substantially all or any of its earnings to shareholders. The declaration and
payment of dividends by Homestead are subject to the discretion of the
Homestead Board. Any determination as to the payment of dividends will depend
upon the results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition
of Homestead and such other factors as the Homestead Board deems relevant. The
Homestead Board intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings to finance
Homestead's growth and for general corporate purposes and, therefore, does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

(1) Homestead was initially capitalized on April 18, 1996 in the amount of
    $1,000 in respect of the issuance of 1,000 shares.
(2) Does not include 10,000,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable upon
    exercise of outstanding Homestead Warrants or any shares of Homestead
    Common Stock which may be issuable upon the conversion of any convertible
    mortgage notes payable.
(3) Includes the shares of Homestead Common Stock to be issued to and held in
    escrow for SCG. As each property is funded under the Funding Commitment
    Agreements, an appropriate number of shares of Homestead Common Stock will
    be transferred to SCG.
(4) The total capitalization does not reflect the additional funding to be
    provided by PTR and ATLANTIC in the form of convertible mortgage notes
    pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements subsequent to the date of
    the Transaction. Therefore, the total capitalization as reflected in the
    pro forma above does not reflect the entire Transaction.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        OF PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group historical operating results reflect the
growth and evolution of both the Homestead Village concept and the extended-
stay lodging business as a whole. Since the first Homestead Village facility
opened in 1992, the PTR-Homestead Village Group has developed an additional 27
properties in four years.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group is not aware of, nor does it expect, any
environmental condition on its properties to have a material adverse effect
upon its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  From inception through June 30, 1996, PTR-Homestead Village Group had
invested $141.2 million for the acquisition and development of 40 Homestead
Village properties, 26 of which were operating, eight of which were under
construction and six of which were in pre-development planning as of June 30,
1996. These investments have been financed through a combination of
intercompany debt borrowed from PTR and contributed capital.
 
  At June 30, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group expected to invest an
additional $142.8 million for those properties under construction, in planning
and for the acquisition, development and construction of 14 additional
properties over the next two years. The foregoing transactions are subject to
a number of conditions, and Homestead cannot predict with certainty that any
of them will be consummated.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group expects to finance construction, development
and land acquisitions primarily with cash on hand, convertible mortgage loans
to be made under the Funding Commitment Agreements, exercise of Homestead
Warrants by SCG pursuant to the SCG Investor Agreement, possible exercise of
Homestead Warrants by other warrantholders and cash from future securities
offerings.
 
  At August 31, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of approximately $32.3
million.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  1995 Compared to 1994
 
  Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $18.7 million,
representing an increase of $10.7 million over the previous year. This
increase was due primarily to (i) a 67% increase in the number of operating
properties from twelve to twenty and (ii) a 14% increase in the average weekly
rate for stabilized properties, from $186 to $212 per week.
 
  Total costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $15.9
million, representing an increase of $8.8 million over the previous twelve
months. Property operating expense and property management fee increases of
approximately $5.0 million can be attributed to (i) the increase in the number
of operating properties noted above, (ii) an increase in property taxes as a
result of the additional operating properties and (iii) refinements in the
number and quality of property-level programs and services. REIT management
fees increased approximately $0.7 million as a result of increased property
cash flow.
 
  Depreciation of the cost of properties and improvements is provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense
increased $1.5 million in 1995 due primarily to the eight new properties
opened in 1995 and the full year of depreciation being charged for the nine
properties opened in 1994.

<PAGE>
 
  Interest expense increased $1.5 million over 1994 due primarily to eight
additional properties opening in 1995. Additionally, a full year of interest
was incurred on the nine properties which opened in 1994.
 
  1994 Compared to 1993
 
  PTR-Homestead Village Group ended 1994 with twelve operating properties
versus three operating properties at the end of 1993. These nine new
properties generated a $4.5 million revenue increase over the prior twelve
months. The remaining $0.9 million increase in revenue can be attributed to an
increase in average weekly rates for stabilized properties from $169 to $186
per week or approximately 10%.
 
  Total costs and expenses increased by $4.8 million over the same period,
from $2.2 million to $7.0 million. Most of the $2.3 million increase in
property expenses is attributable to the nine new property openings. The major
component of the increase is due to property taxes that are expensed on
operating properties. Corporate operating expenses and REIT management fees
increased approximately $0.7 million during this period as a result of
additional new property openings and higher property cash flow.
 
  Depreciation expense for December 31, 1994 increased $0.6 million over 1993
due primarily to the addition of nine new properties in 1994. Interest expense
for the period increased $1.2 million due primarily to the completion of the
nine new properties referred to above incurring interest plus a full year of
interest on the properties which opened in 1993.
 
  Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
 
  Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $15.3 million, an
increase of $7.5 million over the six months ended June 30, 1995. This
increase was due to both the addition of 16 properties between January 1995
and June 1996, as well as a 3.8% increase in the average weekly rates for
stabilized properties from $211 to $219 per week.
 
  Total costs and expenses increased from $6.0 million to $12.9 million over
the same period, an increase of $6.9 million. Property operating expenses and
property management fees contributed $4.5 million to this increase, due to a
greater number of operating properties and the addition of certain customer
amenities and property level programs and services. REIT management fees
increased approximately $0.3 million as a result of increased property cash
flow.
 
  The increase in depreciation expense of $1.0 million is due primarily to the
additional 16 properties which were opened between January 1995 and June 1996.
An increase of $1.1 million in interest expense resulted from additional
operating properties and from the issuance of 9.00% convertible mortgage notes
payable to PTR on January 24, 1996, replacing intercompany debt bearing
interest at 7.37%.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      OF ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's historical combined financial
statements reflect the acquisition and development of Homestead Village
properties. As of June 30, 1996, there were no operating properties. As of
June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had one property under
construction and 25 in pre-development planning.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is not aware of, nor does it expect,
any environmental condition on its properties to have a material adverse
affect upon its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  From inception through June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group
invested $18.6 million for the acquisition and development of Homestead
Village properties. These investments have been financed through intercompany
debt.
 
  At June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group planned to invest an
additional $140.1 million for the acquisition, development and construction of
26 Homestead Village properties over approximately the next eighteen months.
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group expects to finance construction,
development and acquisitions primarily from convertible mortgage loans to be
made under the Funding Commitment Agreements, exercise of Homestead Warrants
by SCG pursuant to the SCG Investor Agreement, possible exercise of Homestead
Warrants by other warrantholders and cash from future securities offerings.
 
  At August 31, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had unfunded
development commitments for developments under construction of approximately
$21.1 million.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 Period from April 3, 1995 (date of formation) through December 31, 1995 and
 the Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group consists of several entities that are
subsidiaries of ATLANTIC. During 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group has been developing Atlantic's Homestead
Village properties. As described in the combined financial statements of the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group, property acquisitions and development costs
are assumed to have been funded via intercompany debt borrowed from ATLANTIC.
All interest related to the intercompany debt during 1995 and the six months
ended June 30, 1996 has been capitalized and included in "Properties under
development." Operating expenses during 1995 and the six months ended June 30,
1996 pertain to pursuit costs relating to abandoned projects and various
administrative expenses.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        OF SCG-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group's business consists of providing development
and property and REIT management services for the Homestead Village properties
developed, owned and operated by the PTR-Homestead Village Group and the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group. SCG-Homestead Village Group earns REIT
management fees which in general are 16% of cash flow (as defined) and
property management fees which are computed as a percentage (5%-7%) of gross
revenues (as defined).
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group has incurred operating deficits since
inception as a result of performing development services for the PTR-Homestead
Village Group and the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group without compensation.
Under the respective REIT management agreements, fees are paid from the cash
flow of operating Homestead Village properties. Deficits are a result of
having a significant number of properties under development thus incurring
higher development overhead. The deficits have been and are expected to
continue to be funded through intercompany borrowings and contributed capital
from SCG.
 
  From inception through June 30, 1996, SCG-Homestead Village Group invested
$0.5 million in furniture and equipment for the support of the operations and
development of the Homestead Village properties.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 1995 Compared to 1994
 
  REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$2.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or approximately 153%, over the
year ended December 31, 1994. These additional fees are primarily attributable
to the revenues and cash flow generated by the new Homestead Village
properties opened in 1995 (eight) as well as Homestead Village properties
experiencing their first full year of operations during 1995 (nine).
 
  Costs and expenses increased by $4.7 million, or approximately 192%, to $7.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $2.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The additional expenses resulted primarily from
increased payroll, recruiting and relocation and other expenses associated
with increased staffing given (i) the additional Homestead Village properties
receiving property management services and (ii) the additional property
acquisition and development activities applicable to the current and future
growth of the Homestead Village properties.
 
 1994 Compared to 1993
 
  REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
$0.8 million, which is an increase of $0.5 million, or approximately 212%,
over the year ended December 31, 1993. These additional fees are primarily
attributable to the revenue and cash flow generated by Homestead Village
properties which opened in 1994 (nine) as well as the effect of one Homestead
Village property experiencing its first full year of operations during 1994.
 
  Costs and expenses increased $1.5 million (166%), to $2.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994 from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1993. The additional expenses resulted primarily from increased payroll and
other expenses associated with increased staffing resulting from the growth in
operating properties and property acquisitions and development activity.

<PAGE>
 
 Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 1995
 
  REIT and property management fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $1.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or approximately 97%, over the
six months ended June 30, 1995. These additional fees are primarily
attributable to (i) the increased revenue and cash flow generated by eight
Homestead Village properties which opened during the six months ended June 30,
1996 as well as five Homestead Village properties which opened during the
period July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995 and (ii) the property management fee
percentage which increased to 7% of gross revenues commencing January 1, 1996.
 
  Costs and expenses increased $4.0 million, or approximately 170%, to $6.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The additional expenses resulted primarily from
increased payroll, recruiting and relocation, overhead allocated by SCG and
other expenses associated with increased staffing as a result of the continued
growth in operating Homestead Village properties and property acquisition and
development activities.
 
                                   BUSINESS
 
OBJECTIVES
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner, and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging
business. Homestead intends to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead owned and operated 29 facilities in eight
cities, had begun construction on 18 additional facilities and had an
additional 33 properties in pre-development planning, for a total of 80
properties. Homestead is processing entitlements on 39 additional sites it has
under contract, which, if acquired, would bring Homestead's total number of
properties completed or under development to 119. In addition, its development
staff of 55 professionals is reviewing additional development opportunities in
29 cities. (See "--Homestead Village Properties.")
 
  Homestead seeks to offer a purpose-built standardized product for the value-
conscious business customer on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or
in training. Homestead will offer as its primary amenities price and value.
Secondary amenities include location and site livability--convenience to the
targeted business base and services--in an environment that is attractive,
well landscaped and secure.
 
  Customer research indicates that the primary Homestead Village customer stay
is work-related. The largest proportion of these relate to temporary business
assignments. Average income of Homestead customers exceeds $50,000. Homestead
believes the customer's foremost reason for selecting Homestead is the high
level of value delivered to the customer in relation to the price. Forty-four
percent (44%) of Homestead customers pay for their stay either out-of-pocket
(are not reimbursed) or on a per diem. Twenty-five percent (25%) of Homestead
Village customers are direct employer referrals, in many cases due to
training. The average length of stay for a customer is in excess of four
weeks. Management believes that Homestead will benefit from well-defined
trends in business including an increased focus on cost-efficiency, reduction
in travel expenses, out-sourcing and geographic dispersion of customers and
operations.
 
  Homestead is founded on research. The Homestead product was conceived and
has evolved to meet consumer needs through research, testing and the operating
experience gained through the development and operation of 29 properties over
the past four years. Homestead believes its operating experience and its
affiliation with Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated ("Security
Capital Investment Research") allow it to better target markets where supply
and demand factors permit high occupancies at increasing rental rates.
Homestead targets submarkets that exhibit strong employment and demographic
trends in selecting locations with barriers to extensive competitive
development. Homestead believes it brings a strategic discipline to
determining
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
an investment focus which provides favorable initial returns and long-term
growth prospects. Through its Investment Committee, described below, and due
diligence process, Homestead employs uniform systems and procedures to achieve
its investment goals.
 
  Homestead believes that the Homestead Village brand identity and the market
opportunity in extended-stay lodging is best served by a property specifically
designed and built to Homestead's standards and specifications. Accordingly,
while Homestead intends to be an active national developer, it has no plans or
intention to acquire existing extended-stay properties or to convert other
existing lodging properties to extended-stay use. To ensure maximum control
over the brand identity and quality of operations, Homestead has no plans or
intention to franchise the Homestead Village concept.
 
  Homestead minimizes development risks by having zoning, site planning,
construction budgets and similar risks resolved or assumed by third parties
prior to Homestead's commitment to a transaction. Homestead incorporates into
its development process certain proprietary technologies, design and
purchasing aimed at enhancing occupancy and rental growth while reducing
ongoing maintenance costs. Homestead has had the opportunity to evaluate and
refine its product through its history of development. Homestead focuses on
the quality of construction, materials and design with a view towards
minimizing long-term operation and maintenance costs. Homestead uses
independent general contractors for the construction of its properties and
intends to use a number of such contractors depending upon the geographic
area, costs of construction and physical capacities of the contractors.
Homestead personnel will oversee the progress of construction on a regular
basis during the development cycle.
 
HISTORY
 
  Homestead was initially created as a byproduct of the multifamily
development activities of PTR. The PTR REIT Manager (defined herein)
identified a customer need not ideally addressed through its traditional
multifamily garden apartment product or through corporate apartments operated
within a garden apartment context. The PTR REIT Manager believed that a
product which offered greater flexibility of rental term, a fully furnished
studio apartment with cooking facilities and a focused array of services (such
as limited maid service, voice mail, cable or satellite television) at an
affordable price would meet the needs of a significant and growing segment of
demand for those business customers on temporary assignment, training or
relocating.
 
  In conjunction with its research affiliate, Security Capital Investment
Research, the PTR REIT Manager engaged in extensive study to determine an
optimum approach to what it originally termed "Corporate Affordable Housing."
Beginning in 1992, the PTR REIT Manager initiated development projects in
Dallas and Houston, Texas. It was the PTR REIT Manager's express intention to
gain operating experience and to fully understand market characteristics prior
to committing to full-scale Homestead Village development on a broad
geographical basis. SCG funded the early stages of development of the
Homestead Village concept.
 
  Homestead properties which opened in 1992 and 1993 enjoyed substantial
occupancy and customer acceptance. During this period, management reviewed
Homestead Village properties and operations to refine and improve its approach
to serving the Homestead customer. Management believes its initial operating
experience allowed it to not only better understand the depth and scope of the
available market opportunity for Homestead Village but also to create a better
development process and operating system in response to that opportunity.
 
  During 1995, a distinct and separate management team was created to support
and expand the opportunity for Homestead Village in PTR and ATLANTIC. PTR and
ATLANTIC are affiliates of SCG and are REITs which own, operate and develop
multifamily properties. PTR's target market is the western United States and
ATLANTIC's target market is the southeastern United States. Homestead projects
were developed by each entity in its own region. From January 1995 to August
1996 the number of professional employees focused exclusively on Homestead
Village increased from eight to 66 and the number of on-site personnel is
currently 318. Operations and development were organized within PTR and
ATLANTIC to meet the distinct needs of the moderate priced, extended-stay
lodging business. Homestead believes it has not only brought a focused
approach
 
                                      25
<PAGE>
 
to the development and operations of moderate priced, extended-stay
properties, but that Homestead currently has superior management depth and
experience in the industry.
 
  As a result of the Mergers, Homestead will become a separate entity. It has
been organized as a Subchapter C corporation and is internally managed.
However, Homestead has a relationship with SCG which it intends to continue
through the Administrative Services Agreement and will enjoy the benefits of
SCG's organization and service. See "--Administrative Services Agreement."
 
THE FACILITIES
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead had developed, owned and operated 29 Homestead
Village properties representing in the aggregate 4,025 units in eight cities
and had 18 Homestead Village properties under construction totaling 2,268
units within four of these cities as well as nine additional cities. In
addition, Homestead owns or controls through contracts 33 development sites
for which it plans to initiate construction within the next 12 months, for a
total of 80 properties. Units operating, under construction, or in pre-
development planning aggregate 10,908 units in 23 cities. Homestead is
processing entitlements on 39 additional sites it has under contract, which,
if acquired, would bring Homestead's total number of properties completed or
under development to 119. In addition, its development staff of 55
professionals is reviewing additional development opportunities in 29 cities.
 
  The average size and development cost of the initial 80 Homestead Village
properties is 136 units and $40,593 per unit, respectively. It is expected,
however, that the size and cost to develop a property will vary significantly
by geographic location. The 12 Homestead Village properties under construction
average 132 units at an average project cost of $5.8 million with an average
cost per unit of $43,486.
 
  Homestead Village properties are designed and built to uniform plans
developed and periodically refined since 1991. Units generally contain 260 to
325 square feet of fully furnished living space, with kitchen facilities
including full-size refrigerator, microwave, sink and cook-top. Generally,
units include combination work station/eating area, chair and features such as
individual voice mail, cable/satellite television, weekly housekeeping,
dataport and free local telephone calls.
 
  For the eight months ended August 31, 1996, the 20 stabilized Homestead
Village properties had an average physical occupancy of 83% with an average
weekly rate of $213 per unit. Average physical occupancy and average weekly
rate for nine pre-stabilized properties were 69% and $227 per week,
respectively.
 
  Each Homestead Village property employs a General Manager who is responsible
for the operations of the particular property. The General Manager shares
duties with and oversees a staff typically consisting of a Guest Services
Manager, Operations Manager, a Maintenance Supervisor, front desk clerk and
housekeeping/laundry staff of five to seven individuals (some of whom are
part-time employees). The office at each property is generally open daily from
7:00 am to 7:00 pm.
 
  Homestead expects that the majority of daily operational decisions will be
made by the General Manager under the supervision of a Regional Manager who
will be responsible for six to twelve properties, depending on geographic
location. The Regional Manager oversees the performance of the General
Managers in such areas as guest service, property maintenance, staffing and
cost control. Each Homestead Village property is measured against a detailed
revenue and expense budget, as well as against the performance of Homestead's
other properties. Homestead employs a series of incentive programs,
encompassing all employees, based on guest service, cleanliness, recruiting
and retaining people and property level performance.
 
  Homestead has invested substantially in training for its regional and on-
site personnel. Twelve separate training modules with subjects ranging from
personal selling and guest service to guest safety are conducted on a regular
basis. Training design and organizational development are administered on a
corporate basis with field implementation personnel located within a
geographic region. Homestead views its investment in training and developing
its site-level personnel as essential to its goal of providing a high
customer-service standard consistent with the objective of becoming the
preeminent operator in the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging business.

GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
 
  Homestead's goal is to become a national provider of moderate priced,
extended-stay lodging in its target markets. Homestead intends to achieve this
goal by developing properties in a disciplined manner in its target markets,
providing high value accommodations for its customers, actively managing its
existing properties to increase revenues and reduce operating costs, and
increasing awareness of the moderate priced, extended-stay concept and the
Homestead Village name. At August 31, 1996, Homestead owned and operated 29
properties, had begun construction of 18 additional properties and had an
additional 33 properties in pre-development planning, for a total of 80
properties. Homestead expects to have a total of 31 properties operational by
the end of 1996. Homestead plans to continue an active development program
thereafter. Homestead's plans call for the average facility to have
approximately 136 extended-stay rooms and to take approximately eight to ten
months to construct.
 
  Homestead targets major metropolitan areas which, based on its own research,
it has determined have suitable submarkets with favorable employment and
demographic trends. To achieve and maintain certain management efficiencies,
Homestead has elected not to enter markets where its submarket research
indicates that Homestead is not likely to be successful in achieving multiple
desirable site locations. Homestead employs dedicated site acquisition
professionals who evaluate each site against a set of eighteen separate
criteria where optimum standards have been established.
 
  As part of its development strategy, Homestead employs contingent contracts
which allow it to conduct thorough due diligence and obtain entitlements prior
to taking title to a site. Homestead employs a dedicated due diligence staff
of six experienced professionals which reviews each investment according to
uniform standards concerning environmental, legal, entitlement and
geotechnical risk.
 
  Each investment transaction undergoes a detailed and comprehensive review by
operational and development senior management and a subsequent review by
Homestead's Investment Committee. Members of the Investment Committee include
David Dressler, Jr., Chairman and President, John Patterson and Donald
Schultz, each a Senior Vice President, and Gary DeLapp, a Vice President. The
Investment Committee process is designed to review both the specific
investment as well as to ensure its conformance to Homestead's investment
policies and goals.
 
  Sites for development will be selected by Homestead's real estate
professionals, subject to review and approval of the Investment Committee.
Homestead currently maintains offices in Atlanta, Dallas and Santa Fe.
Homestead expects to open regional offices in other geographic areas in the
future as Homestead increases the number of regions in which it is focusing
its development. Homestead will utilize independent general contractors for
the construction of its lodging facilities and intends to use a number of such
contractors depending upon geographic area, costs of construction and
financial and physical capacities of the contractors. Homestead's personnel
will oversee the progress of construction on a regular basis during the
development cycle.
 
OPERATING STRATEGY
 
  Homestead's business strategy is to develop moderate priced, extended-stay
facilities providing an affordable and attractive lodging alternative for
value conscious business customers looking for extended-stay accommodations.
Homestead's goal is to provide its customers with a level of amenities needed
to optimize room and occupancy rates while maintaining high operating margins
at its facilities. Homestead attempts to achieve this goal through the
following:
 
    Appeal to Value Conscious Guests. Homestead's facilities are designed to
  offer quality accommodations for guests at substantially lower rates than
  most other extended-stay lodging providers and hotels. Homestead's
  properties offer extended-stay accommodations at a standard weekly rate of
  between $189 and $239 per week. Room rates at Homestead's facilities may
  vary significantly, however, depending upon specific market factors and the
  size of the room. These rates contrast with average weekly rates of
  approximately $500 for traditional extended-stay hotels.
 
    Lodging Facility Features. Homestead's facilities are designed and built
  to uniform plans. Units generally contain 260 to 325 square feet of fully
  furnished living space, with kitchen facilities including
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
  full-size refrigerator, microwave, sink and cook-top. Generally, units
  include combination work station/eating area, chair and features such as
  individual voice mail, cable/satellite television, weekly housekeeping,
  dataport and free local telephone calls.
 
    Standardized Concept. Homestead has developed standardized plans and
  specifications for its properties which lower construction and purchasing
  costs and establish uniform quality and operational standards.
 
    Operating Efficiencies. Homestead believes that the design and price
  level of its properties attract guest stays of several weeks or more, which
  result in a more stable revenue stream and, coupled with low-labor
  amenities, will in turn lead to reduced administrative and operational
  costs and higher operating margins.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
  SCG provides certain administrative services to Homestead through Security
Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "PTR REIT Manager") and Security Capital
(Atlantic) Incorporated (the "ATLANTIC REIT Manager") and the property
managers for the Homestead Village properties currently owned and developed by
PTR and
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
ATLANTIC. Certain employees of the PTR and ATLANTIC REIT Managers who
performed various services for the Homestead predecessor entities controlled
by PTR and ATLANTIC and who participated in various benefit plans maintained
by SCG will become employees of Homestead and perform similar services.
 
  At or prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Homestead and SCG will enter
into an administrative services agreement (the "Administrative Services
Agreement"), pursuant to which SCG will provide Homestead with administrative
services with respect to certain aspects of Homestead's business. These
services will include, but are not limited to, insurance administration,
accounts payable administration, internal audit, cash management, human
resources, management information systems, tax and legal administration,
research, shareholder communications and investor relations. The fees payable
to SCG will be based on market rates as mutually agreed. The Administrative
Services Agreement will be for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1996
and will automatically be renewed for one-year terms, subject to approval by a
majority of the disinterested members of the Homestead Board and the approval
by the disinterested members of the Homestead Board of the annual compensation
payable to SCG for services rendered to Homestead.
 
  Homestead believes its relationship with SCG under this agreement provides
certain advantages to Homestead. Homestead believes that a properly structured
Administrative Services Agreement provides Homestead with access to greater
quality and depth of management personnel and resources, highly focused
research, information systems, insurance, cash management and legal support
provided at substantial economies of scale, than it could provide internally.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
 Traditional Lodging Industry
 
  The United States lodging industry is estimated to have generated
approximately $52.7 billion in annual room revenues in 1995 and had
approximately 3.3 million rooms at the end of 1995. Over 62.7% of the
industry's rooms are owned, managed or franchised by the 10 largest lodging
chains.
 
  Industry statistics, which Homestead believes to be reliable, indicate that
the United States lodging industry's performance is strongly correlated to
economic activity. Room supply and demand historically have been sensitive to
shifts in economic growth, which has resulted in cyclical changes in average
daily room and occupancy rates. Overbuilding in the lodging industry in the
mid and late 1980s resulted in an oversupply of rooms. Homestead believes this
oversupply and the general downturn in the economy led to depressed industry
performance and a lack of capital available to the industry in the late 1980s
and early 1990s.
 
  Homestead believes that the lodging industry has benefited from a gradually
improving supply and demand balance, evidenced by increased average daily room
and occupancy rates. Room supply growth in the lodging industry has slowed in
recent years as the industry absorbs the oversupply of rooms that resulted
from an annual room supply growth range of approximately 3% to 4% from 1987 to
1990. According to industry reports, which Homestead believes are reliable,
this growth slowed to 1.0% in 1993, 1.4% in 1994 and 1.6% in 1995. The 4.0%
and 2.7% increases in demand (measured by occupied rooms) from 1993 to 1994
and 1994 to 1995, respectively, as compared to increases in supply during the
same periods reflect an improved supply and demand balance in the industry.
Homestead believes these factors were primarily responsible for the increase
in industry occupancy rates from 63.8% in 1993 to 65.4% in 1994 and to 66.1%
in 1995 and the increase in average daily room rates from $60.35 in 1993 to
$62.62 in 1994 and to $65.62 in 1995.
 
  The lodging industry generally can be segmented by the level of service
provided and the pricing of the rooms. Segmentation by level of service is
divided into the following categories: full service hotels, which offer food
and beverage services, meeting rooms, room service and similar guest services;
limited service hotels, which generally offer only rooms with amenities such
as swimming pools, continental breakfast or similar limited services; and all-
suites, which generally have limited public spaces but provide guests with two
rooms or distinct
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
partitioned areas and which may or may not offer food and beverage service to
guests. Segmentation by price level may generally be divided into the
following categories with the respective average daily room rates for 1995:
budget ($36), economy-priced ($47), mid-price ($61), upscale ($80) and luxury
($118).
 
  The all-suites segment of the lodging industry is a relatively new segment,
having developed largely over the past 10 years, and is principally oriented
toward business travelers in the mid-price to upscale price levels. All-suite
hotels were developed partially in response to the increasing number of
corporate relocations, transfers and temporary assignments and the need of
business travelers for more than just a room. To address those needs, all-
suite hotels began to offer suites with additional space and, in some cases,
an efficiency kitchen, and guests staying for extended periods of time were
offered discounts to daily rates when they paid on a weekly or monthly basis.
Because of the perceived positive price/value relationship, all-suite hotels
have generally outperformed the lodging industry as a whole over the last five
years.
 
 Extended-Stay Market
 
  Homestead believes that the extended-stay market, in which Homestead
participates, is a continuation of the all-suites phenomenon, and that the
same price/value relationship which has enabled the all-suites segment to
achieve higher than industry average occupancy rates and operating margins
will also carry through to the extended-stay market. Demand for extended-stay
lodging has been stimulated by the economic and social changes resulting from
the increased volume of corporate reorganizations and trends toward down-
sizing and out-sourcing of various functions, the break-up and geographic
dispersion of the traditional family and technological improvements which have
allowed businesses to relocate outside of large metropolitan areas. These
changes have created new accommodation needs for, among others, corporate
executives and trainees, consultants, sales representatives, construction
workers and relocating individuals.
 
 Moderate Priced, Extended-Stay Concept
 
  Moderate priced, extended-stay lodging competes on the basis of price and
value compared to the extended-stay market generally, thereby providing an
economic inducement to guests who are already attracted to the extended-stay
concept. In addition, moderate priced, extended-stay lodging provides a new
and affordable lodging alternative for guests who are value conscious, have
lower incomes or are on limited expense accounts. Based on published occupancy
rates for other participants in the extended-stay market, Homestead believes
that there is a strong demand for moderate priced, extended-stay
accommodations and that in certain areas of the country there is no organized
competition for that business. Of the approximately 3.3 million total
available rooms in the United States lodging industry at the end of 1995,
there were approximately 45,000, or 1.4%, dedicated extended-stay rooms at
approximately 390 separate properties. More than 260 of these extended-stay
properties were controlled by only three other competitors, all of which are
priced toward the upscale segment of the extended-stay market.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The lodging industry is highly competitive. Competitive factors within the
lodging industry include room rates, quality of accommodations, service
levels, convenience of location, reputation, reservation systems, name
recognition and supply and availability of alternative lodging in local
markets, including short-term lease lodging facilities. Homestead's facilities
will compete with a number of competitors, including budget and economy
segment hotels and other companies focusing on the extended-stay market. Each
of Homestead's existing properties is located in a developed area that
includes competing lodging facilities. In addition, each of Homestead's
proposed properties is likely to be located in an area that includes competing
facilities. The number of competitive lodging facilities in a particular area
could have a material adverse effect on the levels of occupancy and average
weekly room rates of Homestead's existing and future properties.
 
  Homestead anticipates that competition within the moderate priced, extended-
stay lodging market will substantially increase as participants in other
segments of the lodging industry and others focus on this relatively
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
new market. A number of other extended-stay lodging facilities exist, many of
which are oriented toward the upscale segment; however, recent announcements
indicate a substantial number of competitors intend to enter the mid-priced or
economy extended-stay segment. Homestead may compete for development sites
with established entities which have greater financial resources than
Homestead and better relationships with lenders and sellers. These entities
may generally be able to accept more risk than Homestead can prudently manage.
Further, there can be no assurance that new or existing competitors will not
significantly reduce their rates or offer greater convenience, services or
amenities or significantly expand, improve or develop facilities in a market
in which Homestead competes, thereby adversely affecting Homestead's
operations.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Furthermore, a
person that arranges for the disposal or transports for disposal or treatment
a hazardous substance at a property owned by another may be liable for the
costs of removal or remediation of hazardous substances released into the
environment at that property. The costs of remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the
failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the
owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. In connection with the ownership and operation of its
properties, Homestead may be potentially liable for any such costs.
 
  Homestead has obtained recent Phase I Surveys on its existing properties and
intends to obtain Phase I Surveys prior to the purchase of any future
properties. The Phase I Surveys are intended to identify potential
environmental contamination and regulatory compliance concerns. Phase I
Surveys generally include historical reviews of the properties, reviews of
certain public records, preliminary investigations of the sites and
surrounding properties and the preparation and issuance of written reports.
Phase I Surveys generally do not include invasive procedures, such as soil
sampling or ground water analysis.
 
  The Phase I Surveys have not revealed any environmental liability or
compliance concern that Homestead believes would have a material adverse
effect on Homestead's business, financial position or results of operations
nor is Homestead aware of any such liability or concern. Nevertheless, it is
possible that Phase I Surveys will not reveal all environmental liabilities or
compliance concerns or that there will be material environmental liabilities
or compliance concerns of which Homestead will not be aware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will
not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current
environmental condition of Homestead's existing and future properties will not
be affected by the condition of neighboring properties (such as the presence
of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to
Homestead.
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  A number of states regulate the licensing of hotels by requiring
registration, disclosure statements and compliance with specific standards of
conduct. Homestead believes that each of its facilities has the necessary
permits and approvals to operate its respective business and Homestead intends
to continue to obtain such permits and approvals for its new facilities. In
addition, Homestead is subject to laws governing its relationship with
employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions
and work permit requirements. An increase in the minimum wage rate, employee
benefit costs or other costs associated with employees could adversely affect
Homestead. Both at the federal and state level from time to time, there are
proposals under consideration to increase the minimum wage.
 
  Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to meet certain
federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although
Homestead has attempted to satisfy ADA requirements in the designs for its
facilities, no assurance can be given that a material ADA claim will not be
asserted against
 
                                      31

Homestead, which could result in a judicial order requiring compliance, and
the expenditure of substantial sums to achieve compliance, an imposition of
fines or an award of damages to private litigants. These and other initiatives
could adversely affect Homestead as well as the lodging industry in general.
 
TRADEMARKS
 
  The Homestead Village name has been registered with the United States Patent
and Trademark office.
 
INSURANCE
 
  Homestead currently has the types and amounts of insurance coverage that it
considers appropriate for a company in its business. While management believes
that its insurance coverage is adequate, if Homestead were held liable for
amounts exceeding the limits of its insurance coverage or for claims outside
of the scope of its insurance coverage, Homestead's business, results of
operations or financial position could be materially and adversely affected.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  Upon consummation of the Mergers, Homestead will employ approximately 87
professionals and 318 on-site personnel. Homestead expects that it will
significantly increase the number of its employees as it expands its business.
Homestead's employees are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements
and management believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  Homestead is not a party to any litigation or claims, other than routine
matters incidental to the operation of the business of Homestead. To date, no
claims have had a material adverse effect on Homestead nor does Homestead
expect that the outcome of any pending claims will have such an effect.

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
 
  Homestead believes that the quality of management should be assessed in the
light of the following factors:
 
    Management Depth/Succession. Management should have several senior
  executives with the leadership, operational, investment and financial
  skills and experience to oversee the entire operations of Homestead.
  Homestead believes that several of its senior officers could serve as the
  principal executive officer and continue Homestead's performance.
 
    Strategic Vision. Management should have the strategic vision to
  determine an investment focus that provides both favorable initial yields
  and strong long-term growth prospects. Homestead will demonstrate its
  strategic vision by focusing Homestead on the extended-stay lodging
  business in target markets where demographic and supply factors will permit
  high occupancies at increasing rates.
 
    Research Capability. Management should have the means for researching
  both markets and product to determine appropriate investment opportunities.
  Homestead divides its target markets into multiple submarkets for analysis
  purposes. Through its relationship with Security Capital Investment
  Research, Homestead will have several professionals devoting substantial
  time to research, on a submarket-by-submarket basis, who are closely
  supervised by the directors and executive officers of Homestead.
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
    Investment Committee Process. Investment committees should provide
  discipline and guidance for the investment activities of Homestead in order
  to achieve its long-term strategic objectives. The four members of
  Homestead's Investment Committee have a combined 56 years of experience in
  the real estate industry. The Investment Committee receives detailed
  written analyses and research, in a standardized format, from Homestead's
  development and acquisition personnel and evaluates all prospective
  investments pursuant to uniform underwriting criteria prior to submission
  of investment recommendations to the Homestead Board. The quality of the
  Investment Committee's process will be evident from the ability of
  Homestead to achieve its investment goals, generally exceeding its
  projected initial returns and growth from the extended-stay lodging
  business.
 
    Development Capability. Homestead has no plans or intentions of acquiring
  existing hotel properties and converting them to the Homestead Village
  concept. Homestead's personnel have substantial development experience.
  Homestead has 39 full-time professionals committed to development
  activities. Homestead has engaged in substantial development at attractive
  yields that have generally exceeded projections.
 
    Due Diligence Process. Management should have experienced personnel
  dedicated to performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. Homestead
  has six full-time due diligence professionals and has developed uniform
  systems and procedures for due diligence.
 
    Operating Capability. Management can substantially improve cash flow by
  actively and effectively managing assets. Homestead has devoted substantial
  personnel and financial resources to developing value-added operating
  systems, which control and effectively administer the operation of
  Homestead's extended-stay lodging business.
 
COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
 
  The Homestead Board will establish an Audit Committee consisting solely of
Independent Directors prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The Audit
Committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of independent
public accountants, reviews the plans and results of the audit engagement with
the independent public accountants, approves professional services provided by
the independent public accountants, reviews the independence of the
independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit
fees and reviews the adequacy of Homestead's internal accounting controls.
 
  The Homestead Charter provides that, immediately following the date on which
Homestead has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, the Homestead Board shall include a majority of directors
("Independent Directors") each of whom is not an employee or officer of
Homestead, any person or entity primarily controlling Homestead or their
respective affiliates and performs no other services for Homestead, any person
or entity primarily controlling Homestead or any of their respective
affiliates, except as director or trustee.
 
MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
 
  Directors' Compensation. Directors who are not employees of Homestead or SCG
will receive $14,000 per year for serving as a director and will be reimbursed
for their travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending
meetings of the Homestead Board or committees thereof. Outside directors may
also receive grants of options to acquire shares of Homestead Common Stock.
See "--Outside Directors Plan."
 
  Executive Compensation. Homestead was incorporated in January 1996 and did
not conduct any operations prior to that time. Homestead anticipates that
during 1996 its most highly compensated officers, with estimated salary
amounts for each such individual on an annualized basis, will be David C.
Dressler, Jr., $195,000; Michael D. Cryan, $200,000; Robert W. Frost, Jr.,
$160,000; John R. Patterson, $160,000; and Donald J. Schultz, $160,000, (the
"Named Executive Officers"). Each Named Executive Officer will also be
eligible for discretionary bonuses and awards under the Incentive Plan
described below. See "--Long-Term Incentive Plan."

STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
 Long-Term Incentive Plan
 
  Prior to consummation of the Mergers, Homestead anticipates adoption of the
Homestead Village Incorporated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive
Plan"), subject to approval of Homestead shareholders, which, it is expected,
will contain the following terms and conditions. The number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock which may be awarded under the Incentive Plan shall not
exceed 4,000,000 shares in the aggregate. Shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued under the Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or
treasury shares. In the event of certain transactions affecting the type or
number of outstanding shares, the number of shares subject to the Incentive
Plan, the number or type of shares subject to outstanding awards and the
exercise price thereof will be appropriately adjusted. The Incentive Plan will
authorize the award of stock grants (which may be subject to restrictions),
and performance stock and authorizes the establishment of one or more stock
purchase programs. A committee of the Homestead Board (the "Committee") will
be appointed to administer the Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the
Incentive Plan, the Committee will determine which employees or other
individuals providing services to Homestead shall be eligible to receive
awards under the Incentive Plan, and the amount, price, timing and other terms
and conditions applicable to such awards.
 
  Options awarded under the Incentive Plan may be either incentive stock
options which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code, or non-qualified stock options which are not intended to satisfy Section
422 of the Code. Options will become exercisable in accordance with the terms
established by the Committee, which may include conditions relating to
completion of a specified period of service or achievement of performance
standards. Options will expire on the date determined by the Committee which
shall not be later than the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of
the grant date, (ii) the first anniversary of the participant's termination of
employment by reason of death, disability or retirement or (iii) the three
month anniversary of the participant's termination of employment for any other
reason. Shares transferred to a participant pursuant to the exercise of an
option may be subject to such additional restrictions or limitations as the
Committee may determine.
 
  Under the Incentive Plan, the Committee may grant awards of Homestead Common
Stock to participants, which shall be subject to such conditions and
restrictions, if any, as the Committee may determine. During the period a
stock award is subject to restrictions or limitations, the Committee may award
the participant dividend rights with respect to such shares. The Incentive
Plan may also provide that the Committee may establish one or more stock
programs which may permit purchases of Homestead Common Stock.
 
  The Committee may award participants performance stock, the distribution of
which is subject to achievement of performance objectives.The number of shares
and the performance measures and periods shall be established by the Committee
at the time the award is made.
 
 Non Qualified Options
 
  Homestead may grant, prior to the closing of the Mergers, nonqualified
options to acquire shares of Homestead Common Stock, subject to board and
shareholder approval. The Named Executive Officers and certain other officers
of Homestead may receive options to purchase shares of Homestead Common Stock
at $10.00 per share, although the total number of shares subject to these
options has not been determined as of the date of this Prospectus. The options
would become exercisable ten percent in the third year after the date of
grant, an additional twenty percent in the fourth year after the date of
grant, an additional thirty percent in the fifth year after the date of grant
and the remaining forty percent in the sixth year after the date of grant and
would expire ten years after the date of grant. The participants would have no
rights as shareholders with respect to the shares subject to his or her
options until the option is exercised. No income would be recognized by a
participant at the time the options are granted. The exercise of a
nonqualified stock option is generally a taxable event that requires the
participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the fair
market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the option price.
Homestead ordinarily will be entitled to claim a federal income tax deduction
on account of the exercise of a nonqualified option. The amount of the
deduction is equal to the ordinary income recognized by a participant.
Homestead will adopt Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock options. Therefore, any excess of fair value of the
shares at the date of grant over the option price would be compensation
expense, recorded over the option period.
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
 Stock Purchase Program
 
  Homestead may, prior to the closing of the Mergers, permit eight senior
officers to purchase shares of Homestead Common Stock under the stock purchase
program portion of the Incentive Plan, subject to board and shareholder
approval. Those officers may be offered the opportunity to purchase up to an
aggregate of 110,000 shares at $10.00 per share. The stock purchases would
provide for a two year restricted period during which the participants must
remain employed by Homestead. If a participant leaves the employ of Homestead
prior to the end of the restricted period, Homestead would have the right to
repurchase the shares at the original purchase price plus an imputed interest
rate. At the end of the two-year period, the participant would own the shares
without further restriction. In accordance with APB 25, any excess fair value
of the shares at the date of sale over the sales price would be compensation
expense, recorded over the restriction period.
 
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN
 
  Homestead has adopted an Outside Directors Plan, which has been approved by
Homestead's sole shareholder, under which up to 100,000 shares of Homestead
Common Stock may be subject to options (the "Outside Directors Plan"). Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan will have a five year term and will
be immediately exercisable in whole or in part. Options to purchase 2,000
shares of Homestead Common Stock will be granted to outside directors under
the Outside Directors Plan as of the Distribution Record Date, at an exercise
price of $10.00 per share, and as of the date of each annual meeting of
shareholders of Homestead commencing in 1997 at an exercise price equal to the
fair market value of the Homestead Common Stock as of those dates. Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan will provide that the option holder
may, in the event of the acquisition of 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of Homestead Common Stock as the result of any cash tender offer or exchange
offer (other than one made by Homestead), exercise the options immediately or
surrender the options, or any unexercised option thereof, to Homestead and
receive cash from Homestead equal to the difference between the exercise price
of each option and per share price of the tender offer or exchange offer,
multiplied by the number of shares of Homestead Common Stock for which options
are held.
 
             RELATIONSHIP WITH SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
 
  Prior to consummation of the Mergers, portions of Homestead's properties,
assets and operations were owned by subsidiaries of each of PTR, ATLANTIC and
SCG. SCG is a private real estate company which owns controlling positions in
several real estate operating companies, including PTR and ATLANTIC, and owns
several REIT managers which direct these operating businesses.
 
  Immediately after completion of the Transaction and the ATLANTIC IPO, SCG is
expected to beneficially own 7,651,370 shares of Homestead Common Stock or
approximately 44.0% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, not
including 2,243,038 shares which will be issued to and held in escrow by an
escrow agent pending funding of convertible mortgages loans under the Funding
Commitment Agreements. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
Agreement." Through its beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock, SCG
will control 44.0% of the vote on all matters submitted for Homestead
shareholder action. The foregoing share ownership information does not give
effect to the issuance of shares upon exercise of options or other awards
granted under the Incentive Plan. SCG will also own Homestead Warrants to
acquire an additional 4,730,014 shares of Homestead Common Stock, which, if
fully exercised, would increase SCG's beneficial ownership of Homestead Common
Stock to 56.0%. SCG may, over time, dispose of some of the shares of Homestead
Common Stock it acquires in the Transaction to reduce its beneficial ownership
in Homestead to below 50%. In addition, pursuant to an Investor Agreement
between SCG and Homestead, SCG will agree to exercise at the request of
Homestead all Homestead Warrants it receives in the Transaction. In exchange
for its agreement to exercise Homestead Warrants, Homestead will grant SCG the
right, among other things, to nominate up to two directors to the Homestead
Board, depending upon SCG's level of ownership of shares of Homestead Common
Stock, and to be consulted on certain business decisions made by Homestead. In
addition, pursuant to investor agreements with ATLANTIC and PTR, each of
ATLANTIC and PTR will have the right to nominate one director to the Homestead
Board. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--ATLANTIC and PTR Investor
Agreements" and "--SCG Investor Agreement."
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
  SCG has funded the development of the Homestead Village concept since 1991.
As part of the Transaction, SCG will contribute, for no additional
consideration, the Homestead Village trademark, the Homestead Village
operating system and Homestead Village properties which it is developing in
areas outside the target markets of PTR and ATLANTIC. SCG will also provide
financing to Homestead for additional developments undertaken between the
execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date.
 
  Prior to the Mergers, Homestead obtained certain services from affiliates of
SCG and the SCG employees who performed services for Homestead under the PTR
and ATLANTIC REIT management agreements and the property management agreements
participated in a number of employee benefit plans maintained by SCG. Prior to
completion of the Transaction, SCG and Homestead will enter into certain
agreements relating to these matters. See "Business--Administrative Services
Agreement" and "Certain Relationships and Transactions."
 
                    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS
 
PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT
 
  Each of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG will enter into a protection of business
agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Protection of Business
Agreement") with Homestead which will prohibit PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG and their
respective affiliates from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the extended-
stay lodging business in the continental United States except through
Homestead and its subsidiaries. The Protection of Business Agreement also
prohibits Homestead from, directly or indirectly, engaging in the ownership,
operation, development, management or leasing of multifamily properties. The
Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit any of PTR, ATLANTIC or SCG
from: (i) owning securities of Homestead; (ii) owning up to 5% of the
outstanding securities of another person engaged in owning, operating,
developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties, so long as
they do not actively participate in the business of such person; (iii) owning
the outstanding securities of another person, a majority owned subsidiary,
division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties,
so long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues are derived
from such properties; and (iv) owning securities of another person primarily
engaged in business other than a business owning, operating, developing,
managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties, including a person
primarily engaged in business as an owner, operator or developer of hotel
properties, whether or not such person owns, operates, develops, manages or
leases extended-stay lodging properties. The Protection of Business Agreement
does not prohibit Homestead from: (i) owning securities of ATLANTIC, PTR or
SCG; (ii) owning up to 5% of the outstanding securities of another person
engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing garden style
multifamily properties; and (iii) owning the outstanding securities of another
person, a majority owned subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of
which is engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing garden
style multifamily properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's
consolidated revenues are derived from such properties. The Protection of
Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or
indirectly (other than by purchase from PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG or their
respective affiliates (as defined in the Protection of Business Agreement)),
by any person (or group of associated persons acting in concert), other than
PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG or their respective affiliates, of 25% or more of the
outstanding shares of voting stock of Homestead, without the prior written
consent of the Homestead Board. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on the
tenth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
SCG INVESTOR AGREEMENT
 
  Homestead and SCG will enter into an investor agreement (the "SCG Investor
Agreement"), which will require SCG, upon notice from Homestead, to exercise
all of the Homestead Warrants (at an exercise price of $10.00 per share)
received by SCG in connection with the Transaction. Homestead may call for the
exercise of Homestead Warrants by SCG upon 10 days' prior written notice. The
SCG Investor Agreement, among other things, provides that, without having
first consulted with the nominee of SCG designated in writing, Homestead
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
may not seek Homestead Board approval of (i) Homestead's annual budget, (ii)
incurring expenses in any year exceeding (A) any line item in the annual
budget by 20% and (B) the total expenses set forth in the annual budget by 5%,
(iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single transaction or group of related
transactions where the aggregate purchase price paid or received exceeds $5
million, (iv) new contracts with a service provider for (A) investment
management, property management or leasing services, or (B) that reasonably
contemplates annual contract payments by Homestead in excess of $200,000, (v)
the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution, (vi) the
approval of stock option plans, (vii) the offer or sale of any shares of stock
of Homestead or any securities convertible into shares of stock of Homestead
(other than the sale or grant of any stock or grants of options or exercise of
options granted under any benefit option plan approved by stockholders) and
(viii) the incurrence, restructuring, renegotiation or repayment of
indebtedness for borrowed money in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds
$5 million. The SCG Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as SCG owns
at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, Homestead
may not increase the number of persons serving on the Homestead Board to more
than seven. SCG also will be entitled to designate one or more persons as
directors of Homestead, as follows: (i) so long as SCG owns at least 10% but
less than 30% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, it is
entitled to nominate one person; and (ii) so long as SCG owns at least 30% of
the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, it is entitled to nominate
that number of persons as shall bear approximately the same ratio to the total
number of members of the Homestead Board as the number of shares of Homestead
Common Stock beneficially owned by SCG bears to the total number of
outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, provided that SCG shall be
entitled to designate no more than two persons so long as the Homestead Board
consists of no more than seven members. Any person who is employed by SCG or
who is an employee, a 25% shareholder or a director of any corporation of
which SCG is a 25% shareholder (except for Homestead) shall be deemed to be a
designee of SCG. The nominee(s) of SCG may, but need not, be the same
person(s) nominated by either PTR pursuant to the PTR Investor Agreement or
ATLANTIC pursuant to the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement.
 
  In addition, because SCG is an affiliate of Homestead, the SCG Investor
Agreement provides SCG with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain
specified circumstances, SCG may request, at any time after the first
anniversary of the date on which the Homestead Common Stock is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under either Section
12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and on not more than three occasions,
registration of all of SCG's Homestead Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
 
FUNDING COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Pursuant to funding commitment agreements to be dated as of the Closing Date
(the "Funding Commitment Agreements") each of PTR and ATLANTIC will agree to
make mortgage loans to Homestead of up to $144,044,620 and $98,028,471,
respectively. The obligations of PTR and ATLANTIC are limited to a specific
dollar amount for each property identified in the respective Funding
Commitment Agreements. Upon any determination by Homestead to commence
development of a property identified in the Funding Commitment Agreement,
Homestead is required to notify PTR or ATLANTIC, as the case may be, and PTR
or ATLANTIC, as the case may be, is required to endeavor in good faith to fund
up to the full amount of its obligation with respect to such property.
Homestead is required to complete the development of such property consistent
with the development plans for such property. Each mortgage loan issued by
Homestead pursuant to a Funding Commitment Agreement will be convertible into
shares of Homestead Common Stock on the basis of one share of Homestead Common
Stock for every $11.50 of principal outstanding on the mortgage loan. The
obligation of Homestead to call for funding of, and the obligations of PTR and
ATLANTIC to provide funding for, the mortgage loans expires on March 31, 1998,
except with respect to properties for which Homestead has given notice that it
intends to develop. Interest on the mortgage loans accrues at the rate of 9%
on the unpaid principal balance, payable every six months. The mortgages are
scheduled to mature on October 31, 2006, and are not callable until five years
after the Closing Date. Homestead has pledged substantially all of its assets
as collateral for the mortgage loans.
 
                                      40
<PAGE>
 
  Pursuant to each Funding Commitment Agreement, PTR and ATLANTIC will provide
Homestead aggregate funding on such developments in the amounts of up to
approximately $129 million and $111 million, respectively, which amounts are
anticipated to be sufficient to complete the development of the respective
Homestead Village facilities contributed by them. PTR and ATLANTIC will
receive convertible mortgage notes in respect of such fundings in stated
amounts of up to approximately $144 million and $98 million, respectively. The
effect of these provisions is that PTR will fund $898,000 for each $1,000,000
principal amount of convertible mortgage loans and ATLANTIC will fund
$1,133,535 for each $1,000,000 principal amount of convertible mortgage loans.
The differences between the funded amounts and the stated amounts of the
convertible mortgage loans arise because the rate of return on the existing
Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR is projected to exceed the
rate of return on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR and
ATLANTIC to Homestead which are under construction or in pre-development
planning. In calculating the relative ownership interests of PTR and ATLANTIC,
SCG assumed that as of July 1, 1996 PTR would have 28 Homestead Village
facilities in operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC would have none.
In addition, SCG expects that the average property development costs for the
existing PTR Homestead Village properties will, on balance, be less than those
for the PTR and ATLANTIC Homestead Village properties projected to be built in
the future because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead Village
properties were in planning or under development during 1992 and 1993 when
land prices and construction costs were less than they are now and are
anticipated to be over the next 18 months. The stated amount of the
convertible mortgage loans was determined based on a 9% interest rate to
provide an effective yield to each of PTR and ATLANTIC that is reflective of
the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on all of the
facilities contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
ATLANTIC AND PTR INVESTOR AGREEMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC and PTR will each enter into an investor and registration rights
agreement with Homestead (the "ATLANTIC and PTR Investor Agreements") pursuant
to which ATLANTIC and PTR each are entitled to designate one person for
nomination to the Homestead Board, and Homestead will use its best efforts to
cause the election of such nominee(s), until March 31, 1998 and for so long
thereafter as PTR or ATLANTIC has the right to convert in excess of $20
million in principal amount of loans made pursuant to the Funding Commitment
Agreement. Such nominee(s) may, but need not, be the same person(s) nominated
by SCG pursuant to the SCG Investor Agreement. In addition, Homestead has
granted to each of ATLANTIC and PTR registration rights with respect to the
issuance upon conversion and the distribution of all of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible mortgage
notes. Prior to the one-year anniversary of the date the Homestead Common
Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, each of ATLANTIC and PTR may
request one registration of those shares of Homestead Common Stock which are
issued upon conversion of any or all the convertible mortgage notes converted
during such one-year period and which it intends to distribute to its
stockholders. After such one-year anniversary, each of ATLANTIC and PTR may
request three additional registrations pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under
the Securities Act of all shares of Homestead Common Stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of the convertible mortgage notes. Such registration, except
for the fees and disbursements of counsel to ATLANTIC or PTR, shall be at the
expense of Homestead.
 
ESCROW AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to an escrow agreement to be dated the Closing Date (the "Escrow
Agreement") among Homestead, SCG and State Street Bank and Trust Company
("Escrow Agent"), a portion of the shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable
to SCG in the Transaction will be placed in an escrow account maintained with
the Escrow Agent. In general, as PTR and ATLANTIC advance funds to Homestead
in accordance with the terms of their respective Funding Commitment
Agreements, a portion of the shares of Homestead Common Stock in the escrow
account will be released to SCG, together with a proportionate amount of
accrued dividends, if any. On January 1, 2000, unless all of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock placed in the escrow account have been released to SCG
sooner in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow
Agent will release to Homestead all of the shares of Homestead Common Stock
remaining in the escrow account. All
 
                                      41
<PAGE>
 
dividends or other distributions paid by Homestead in respect of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock held in the escrow account shall be retained by the
Escrow Agent for the benefit of the party to whom the related shares of
Homestead Common Stock are ultimately issued. The Escrow Agent will vote all
shares of Homestead Common Stock held in the escrow account proportionately in
accordance with the vote of all other Homestead shareholders as instructed by
Homestead. In the event that instructions are not received, the Escrow Agent
will not vote such shares.
 
  Because the number of shares of Homestead Common Stock being received by SCG
is based on the anticipated future REIT management fees and property
management fees SCG would have received under existing agreements with PTR and
ATLANTIC for the 80 Homestead Village properties contributed to Homestead, net
of overhead of SCG related to those properties, and since many of the
contributed Homestead Village properties are either in the development or
planning stage, the purpose of the Escrow Agreement is to time SCG's receipt
of the shares of Homestead Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement with
the time the properties are actually funded and supported by a completion
guaranty.
 
FINDER'S AGREEMENTS
 
  Pursuant to a series of agreements between PTR and the unaffiliated person
who brought the Homestead concept to PTR and certain of his affiliates
(collectively, "Finder"), Finder agreed to assist PTR in locating, developing
and operating temporary corporate affordable housing facilities. In accordance
with these agreements, Finder is entitled to receive: (i) with respect to four
Homestead properties currently in operation and located in the Dallas area
(collectively, the "Dallas Properties"), an annual amount of $535,000; (ii)
with respect to the first 35 Homestead facilities constructed by Homestead
(other than the Dallas Properties), an annual amount of $7,500 per property
(such amount subject to proportionate increase or decrease if the property has
less than 120 units or more than 150 units) for each fiscal year beginning on
the date the facility achieves 80% occupancy and provided that Homestead
expects to receive for such fiscal year an annual return from the facility
equal to 12% of its undepreciated cost in the facility; (iii) upon the sale of
any of the Dallas Properties to an unaffiliated third party, 20% of the net
proceeds, which are generally defined as the gain on sale received by
Homestead from the sale of such property (after deducting all closing costs
and commissions and after deducting Homestead's undepreciated cost of all
land, improvements and renovations); and (iv) upon the sale of any of the
other 35 properties to an unaffiliated third party, 10% of the net gain on
sale received by Homestead from the sale of such property (after deducting all
closing costs and commissions and after deducting Homestead's undepreciated
cost of all land, improvements and renovations). The annual payments for each
facility are payable until the earliest to occur of the sale of the facility
to an unaffiliated third party, a breach of the agreements by Finder (subject
to various cure provisions), and February 2043. In addition, Finder has
agreed, until December 31, 1996, not to compete, directly or indirectly, with
Homestead in certain states in which Homestead operates. Finder is not
affiliated with Homestead, PTR, ATLANTIC or SCG. Homestead does not currently
have an intention to sell any of its properties.

                            PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS
 
  As of October 31, 1996, there were 1,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued and outstanding, which were held of record by SCG. The following table
sets forth, as of October 31, 1996 and as adjusted to give effect to the
ATLANTIC IPO and the Transaction, certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of Homestead Common Stock by each person who is expected to be the
beneficial owner of five percent or more of the outstanding Homestead Common
Stock, by each of Homestead's directors and Named Executive Officers, and by
all directors and executive officers of Homestead as a group. As of such date,
there are expected to be approximately 3,400 record holders of Homestead
Common Stock.

(2) These shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned of record by SC
    Realty Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCG, and will be pledged
    to secure a $300 million revolving line of credit facility with a
    syndicate of banks. As of October 31, 1996, there were $57 million of
    borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is
    also secured by securities owned by SCG of PTR, ATLANTIC, Security Capital
    Industrial Trust, a publicly-traded REIT affiliated with SCG, and Security
    Capital U.S. Realty, an entity based in Luxembourg that is affiliated with
    SCG and which invests in real estate operating companies in the United
    States. SCG estimates that the aggregate market value of the pledged
    securities exceeded $2.0 billion as of October 31, 1996. SCG was in
    compliance with all covenants under the line of credit as of June 30,
    1996. Does not include up to 2,243,038 shares of Homestead Common Stock
    which may be issued to SCG pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. See "Certain
    Relationships and Transactions--Escrow Agreement."
(3) Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own these shares of Homestead
    Common Stock, which will be owned by SCG, because Mr. Sanders, as Chairman
    and Chief Executive Officer of SCG, shares voting and dispositive power
    with respect to all shares of Homestead Common Stock owned by SCG. SCG and
    Mr. Sanders in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
    SCG, intend to play a major role in the direction of Homestead for the
    purpose of maximizing the value of Homestead.
(4) 3,062 of these shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned by Mr.
    Sanders directly. Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own 55,876 of
    these shares of Homestead Common Stock which will be owned by Sanders
    Partners Incorporated and CAMPR Partners Limited, family entities with
    respect to which Mr. Sanders shares voting and dispositive power, and
    2,625 of these shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned by a
    foundation of which Mr. Sanders is a director.
(5) Does not include shares of Homestead Common Stock which may be issued
    under the Incentive Plan. See "Management--Long-Term Incentive Plan."
(6) Does not include shares of Homestead Common Stock which may be issued
    under the Outside Directors Plan. See "Management--Outside Directors
    Plan."
 
                      DESCRIPTION OF HOMESTEAD SECURITIES
 
  The following summary of the terms of the securities of Homestead does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Homestead Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed
as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part.
 
GENERAL
 
  The authorized stock of Homestead consists of 250,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Homestead Board may classify or
reclassify any unissued shares of stock from time to time by setting or
changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions,
qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of such stock. No holder
of any class of stock of Homestead will have any preemptive right to subscribe
to any securities of Homestead except as may be granted by the Homestead Board
in authorizing the issuance of a class of preferred stock. Under Maryland law,
stockholders are generally not liable for Homestead's debts or obligations.
For a description of certain provisions that could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, see "Risk Factors--
Limitations on Changes in Control," "Certain Relationships and Transactions--
SCG Investor Agreement" and "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of
Homestead's Charter and Bylaws."
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Homestead Common Stock is The First
National Bank of Boston, 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
 
HOMESTEAD COMMON STOCK
 
  The outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock are fully paid and
nonassessable. Each share of Homestead Common Stock entitles the holder to one
vote on all matters requiring a vote of stockholders, including the election
of directors. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in
the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock can elect all of the directors
then standing for election. Stockholders are entitled to such dividends as may
be authorized from time to time by the directors out of assets legally
available therefor.
 
                                      44
<PAGE>
 
  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of
Homestead, holders of Homestead Common Stock will be entitled, subject to the
preferential rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, to share ratably in
the assets of Homestead remaining after provision for payment of liabilities
to creditors.
 
  All shares of Homestead Common Stock have equal distribution, liquidation
and other rights, and shall have no preference, appraisal, conversion or
exchange rights. Upon completion of the Distribution, 17,749,735 shares of
Homestead Common Stock will be issued and outstanding (including the 2,243,038
shares held in escrow).
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Homestead Board is empowered by the Homestead Charter, without the
approval of stockholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in
one or more series and to determine, among other things, the number of
preferred shares of each series and the rights, preferences, powers and
limitations of each series which may be senior to the rights of Homestead
Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead and may
adversely affect the voting and other rights of stockholders. Upon completion
of the Transaction, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding and
Homestead has no present plans to issue any preferred stock following
completion of the Distribution other than as contemplated by the Rights
Agreement (as defined below).
 
PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
  On May 16, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend of one
Purchase Right for each share of Homestead Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on May 16, 1996 (the "Rights Record Date") to the holders of
Homestead Common Stock of record as of the Rights Record Date. The dividend
was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional shares of
Homestead Common Stock issued after the Rights Record Date and before the
redemption or expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one
Purchase Right for each such additional share. Each Purchase Right entitles
the registered holder under certain circumstances to purchase from Homestead
one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share of Homestead at a price of
$50.00 per one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Purchase
Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of May 16, 1996 between
Homestead and The First National Bank of Boston, as rights agent (the "Rights
Agreement").
 
  The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earliest to occur of: (1) 10 business days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (excluding certain affiliates of Homestead) has acquired
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Homestead
Common Stock (thereby becoming an "Acquiring Person"); (2) 15 business days
(or such later date as may be determined by action of the Homestead Board
prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which
would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons
(excluding certain affiliates of Homestead) of 25% or more of the outstanding
shares of Homestead Common Stock or (3) 15 business days (or such later date
as may be determined by action of the Homestead Board prior to such time as
any person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of filing by any person
of, or the first public announcement of the intention of any person to file,
any application, request, submission or other document with any federal or
state regulatory authority seeking approval of, attempting to rebut any
presumption of control upon, or otherwise indicating an intention to enter
into, any transaction or series of transactions (other than a transaction in
which newly issued Homestead Common Stock is issued directly by Homestead) the
consummation of which would result in any person (excluding certain affiliates
of Homestead) becoming the beneficial owner of Homestead Common Stock
aggregating 25% or more of the then outstanding shares of Homestead Common
Stock (the first to occur of such dates being called the "Rights Distribution
Date"). With respect to any of the stock certificates outstanding as of the
Rights Record Date, until the Rights Distribution Date the Purchase Rights
will be evidenced by such stock certificate. Until the Rights Distribution
Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Purchase
 
                                      45
<PAGE>
 
Rights), new stock certificates issued after the Rights Record Date upon
transfer or new issuance of shares of Homestead Common Stock will contain a
notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the Homestead Board in good faith determines that a person who
would otherwise be an Acquiring Person under the Rights Agreement has become
such inadvertently, and such person divests as promptly as practicable a
sufficient number of shares of Homestead Common Stock so that such person
would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then such person shall not be deemed
to be an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement.
 
  The Purchase Rights will expire on May 16, 2006 (the "Final Expiration
Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Purchase
Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by Homestead, in each case as
described below.
 
  The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Participating Preferred Shares
or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Purchase Rights
are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances from time to time to
prevent dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price
will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at
least 1% in such Purchase Price.
 
  Participating Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Purchase
Rights will not be redeemable. Each Participating Preferred Share will be
entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly distribution payment equal to the
greater of (i) $1 per share or (ii) 100 times the distribution declared per
share of Homestead Common Stock. Each Participating Preferred Share will have
100 votes, voting together with the shares of Homestead Common Stock. If
dividends payable on Participating Preferred Shares are in arrears in an
amount equal to at least six full quarterly dividends (whether or not declared
and whether or not consecutive), the holders of record of the outstanding
Participating Preferred Shares shall have the exclusive right, voting
separately as a single class, to elect two directors of Homestead until such
time as all arrears in dividends (whether or not declared) on the
Participating Preferred Shares shall have been paid or declared and set apart
for payment. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Participating
Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation
payment of $1 per share (plus any accrued and unpaid dividends) but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the payment made per share of
Homestead Common Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which shares of Homestead Common Stock are exchanged, each
Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount
received per share of Homestead Common Stock. In the event of issuance of
Participating Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Purchase Rights, in order
to facilitate trading, a depositary receipt may be issued for each one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share. The Purchase Rights will be
protected by customary antidilution provisions.
 
  In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of shares of Homestead Common Stock
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price. In lieu of the issuance of shares of Homestead
Common Stock upon exercise of Purchase Rights, the Homestead Board may under
certain circumstances, and if there is an insufficient number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock authorized but unissued or held by Homestead to permit
the exercise in full of the Purchase Rights, the Homestead Board is required
to, take such action as may be necessary to cause Homestead to issue or pay
upon the exercise of Purchase Rights, cash (including by way of a reduction of
purchase price), property, other securities or any combination of the
foregoing having an aggregate value equal to that of the shares of Homestead
Common Stock which otherwise would have been issuable upon exercise of
Purchase Rights.
 
  In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
Homestead is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or
50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper
provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right will thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current
Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price.
 
                                      46
<PAGE>
 
  At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior
to the acquisition by that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding
shares of Homestead Common Stock, the Homestead Board may exchange the
Purchase Rights (other than Purchase Rights owned by that person or group
which will have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one
share of Homestead Common Stock (or one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred
Share) per Purchase Right (subject to adjustment).
 
  As soon as practicable after a Rights Distribution Date, Homestead is
obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to the securities issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable.
 
  At any time prior to the time a person or group of persons becomes an
Acquiring Person, the Homestead Board may redeem the Purchase Rights in whole,
but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right (the "Redemption
Price") payable in cash, shares of Homestead Common Stock or any other form of
consideration deemed appropriate by the Homestead Board. The redemption of the
Purchase Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with
such conditions as the Homestead Board in its sole discretion may establish.
Immediately upon the effectiveness of any redemption of the Purchase Rights,
the right to exercise the Purchase Rights will terminate and the only right of
the holders of Purchase Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
 
  The terms of the Purchase Rights may be amended by the Homestead Board
without the consent of the holders of the Purchase Rights, except that from
and after the time any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Purchase Rights and in no event shall any such
amendment change the 20% threshold at which a person acquiring beneficial
ownership of shares of Homestead Common Stock becomes an Acquiring Person.
 
  The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Purchase Rights
will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
Homestead on terms not approved by the Homestead Board, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired.
The Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business
combination approved by the Homestead Board since the Purchase Rights may be
redeemed by Homestead at the Redemption Price prior to the time that a person
or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock. The form of Rights Agreement specifying the terms of
the Purchase Rights has been incorporated by reference into the Registration
Statement (of which this Prospectus forms a part) and is incorporated herein
by reference. The foregoing description of the Purchase Rights does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the Rights Agreement, including the definitions therein of
certain terms.
 
HOMESTEAD WARRANTS
 
  The Homestead Warrants are to be issued under a Warrant Agreement (the
"Warrant Agreement") between Homestead and The First National Bank of Boston,
as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"), a copy of which has been filed as an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Homestead Warrants and
the Warrant Agreement. The summary is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the Homestead Warrants and the
Warrant Agreement, including the definitions therein of certain terms.
 
 General
 
  Each Homestead Warrant will entitle the registered holder thereof, subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions thereof and of the Warrant
Agreement, at such holder's option, to purchase at an exercise price of $10.00
per share from Homestead one share of Homestead Common Stock. The number of
shares of Homestead Common Stock for which a Homestead Warrant may be
exercised is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
 
                                      47
<PAGE>
 
  Homestead Warrants may be exercised at any time by surrendering the
certificate evidencing such Homestead Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates")
with the form of election to purchase shares set forth on the reverse side
thereof duly completed and executed by the holder thereof and paying in full
the exercise price for such Homestead Warrant at the office or agency
designated for such purpose, which will initially be the corporate trust
office of the Warrant Agent in New York, New York. Each Homestead Warrant may
be exercised only in whole and the exercise price may be paid only in cash or
by certified or official bank check. The Homestead Warrants will expire at
5:00 p.m., New York time, on the first anniversary of the Distribution Record
Date.
 
  The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Homestead Warrants may be
surrendered for exercise or exchange, and the transfer of Warrant Certificates
will be registrable, at the office or agency of Homestead maintained for such
purpose, which initially will be the corporate trust office of the Warrant
Agent in New York, New York. The Warrant Certificates will be issued only in
fully registered form. No service charge will be made for any exercise,
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but Homestead
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
 
  Fractional shares of Homestead Common Stock will not be issued upon exercise
of Homestead Warrants. In lieu thereof Homestead will pay a cash adjustment
based on the difference between the Current Market Value (as defined in the
Warrant Agreement) of a share of Homestead Common Stock on the date the
Warrant Certificate is surrendered for conversion and the exercise price of
the Homestead Warrants.
 
  Holders of Homestead Warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being such
holders, to receive dividends, vote, receive notice of any meetings of
stockholders or otherwise have any right of stockholders of Homestead.
 
 Adjustments
 
  The number of shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a
Homestead Warrant (the "Exercise Rate") is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including (a) dividends or distributions on
Homestead Common Stock payable in Homestead Common Stock or certain other
stock of Homestead; (b) subdivisions, combinations or certain
reclassifications of Homestead Common Stock; (c) distributions to all holders
of Homestead Common Stock of rights, warrants or options entitling them to
subscribe for Homestead Common Stock at a price per share less than 94% of the
Current Market Value at the Time of Determination (each as defined in the
Warrant Agreement); (d) sales by Homestead of Homestead Common Stock or of
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Homestead
Common Stock (other than pursuant to (1) the exercise of the Homestead
Warrants (2) any security convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable
for, Homestead Common Stock as to which the issuance thereof has previously
been the subject of any required adjustment pursuant to the Warrant Agreement
and (3) the conversion of any convertible notes issued or issuable pursuant to
the Funding Commitment Agreements) at a price per share less than the Current
Market Value at the Time of Determination; and (e) distributions to
stockholders of assets or debt securities of Homestead or certain rights,
warrants or options to purchase assets or debt securities or other securities
of Homestead (excluding cash dividends or other cash distributions from
consolidated retained earnings other than any Extraordinary Cash Dividend (as
defined in the Warrant Agreement)). No adjustment in the Exercise Rate will be
required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least one percent (1%) in the Exercise Rate; provided that any adjustment that
is not made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.
 
  If Homestead is a party to a consolidation or merger, or certain transfers
of all or substantially all of its assets occur, a Homestead Warrant for
Homestead Common Stock shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holder of Homestead
Warrants would have received immediately after the consolidation, merger or
transfer if the holder exercised the Homestead Warrant immediately before the
effective date of the transaction.
 
  In the event of a taxable distribution to holders of Homestead Common Stock
which results in an adjustment to the number of shares of Homestead Common
Stock or other consideration for which a Homestead Warrant
 
                                      48
<PAGE>
 
may be exercised, the holders of the Homestead Warrants may, in certain
circumstances, be deemed to have received a distribution subject to United
States Federal income tax.
 
CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES
 
  As of the Closing Date, Homestead will assume approximately $77 million
principal amount of promissory notes of its predecessors in connection with
funding the acquisition and construction costs and expenses incurred in
connection with acquiring and developing various real properties as Homestead
Village properties. Pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements, PTR and
ATLANTIC have agreed to provide Homestead aggregate funding on the respective
Homestead Village properties contributed by them in the amounts of up to
approximately $129 million and $111 million, respectively. PTR and ATLANTIC
will receive convertible mortgage notes in respect of such fundings in stated
amounts of up to approximately $144 million and $98 million, respectively. The
convertible mortgage notes issued to PTR will be recorded for financial
reporting purposes by Homestead at a premium of approximately $15 million and
the convertible mortgage notes issued to ATLANTIC will be recorded by
Homestead at a discount of approximately $13 million, each of which will be
amortized as an adjustment to interest expense over the ten-year term of the
mortgage notes using the effective interest method. As described above, the
relative ownership percentages of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG in Homestead were
determined based upon the relative value of the contributed assets assuming
that all of the properties to be contributed have been developed and are fully
operating. PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to fund convertible mortgages to
provide for the development of the Homestead Village properties and to achieve
their respective ownership allocations. The funded amounts of PTR and ATLANTIC
under the convertible mortgages therefore are in amounts that are anticipated,
pursuant to currently existing development budgets, to be sufficient to
complete the development of the Homestead Village properties being contributed
by them, respectively. To determine the difference between the funded and
stated amounts of the convertible mortgage notes, SCG calculated a value of
the Homestead's assets contributed in the Transaction by each of PTR, ATLANTIC
and SCG as of the end of 1998 assuming all properties were completely
developed. Such value ($496.9 million) was determined by SCG consistent with
the accounting treatment for the Transaction as described in the Pro Forma
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. In particular, such value was
based on the assumption that only the 80 properties currently operating, under
construction or in pre-development planning are completed by 1998 and did not
take into account Homestead's plans to continue an active development,
developing properties in a disciplined manner in its target market. Such value
was calculated solely for the purposes described herein and should not be
relied upon as an indication of the actual fair market value of Homestead's
assets. For purposes of determining the amount of securities to be issued to
PTR and ATLANTIC in the Transaction based on the methodology used in
determining the relative ownership percentages (described herein), 63.64% of
the value of Homestead was allocated to PTR (approximately $316.2 million) and
28.18% of the value of Homestead was allocated to ATLANTIC (approximately
$140.0 million). As described elsewhere, SCG determined that 70% of the value
allocated to PTR and ATLANTIC would be issuable in convertible debt of
Homestead and 30% would be issuable in common equity. Therefore, the total
value of the convertible mortgage notes issuable to PTR was determined to be
approximately $221.3 million (which amount includes the approximately $77.3
million of convertible mortgage notes currently outstanding) and the total
value of the convertible mortgage notes issuable to ATLANTIC was determined to
be approximately $98.0 million. SCG estimated that the total cost of the
Homestead Village properties to be contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC will be
approximately $284.0 million and $158.7 million, respectively. Seventy percent
of these costs are attributable to the convertible mortgage notes issuable to
PTR (approximately $198.8 million) and ATLANTIC (approximately $111.1
million), respectively. The difference between the $221.3 million of the value
of the mortgages and the $198.8 million of the expected costs equals the
difference between the funded and stated amounts of the convertible mortgage
notes issuable to PTR. The difference between the $98.0 million of the value
of the mortgages and the $111.0 million of the expected costs equals the
difference between the funded and stated amounts of the convertible mortgage
notes issuable to ATLANTIC. The differences between the funded amounts and the
stated amounts of the convertible mortgage loans arise because the rate of
return on the existing Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR is
projected to exceed the rate of return on the Homestead Village facilities
contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC to Homestead which are under construction or
 
                                      49
<PAGE>
 
in pre-development planning. This expected difference in the rates of return
arises because, as of July 1, 1996, PTR was expected to have 28 Homestead
Village facilities in operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC was
expected to have none and the average property development costs for the
existing PTR Homestead Village properties, on balance, was expected to be less
than those for the PTR and ATLANTIC Homestead Village properties projected to
be built in the future because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead
Village properties were in planning or under development during 1992 and 1993
when land prices and construction costs were less than they are now and are
anticipated to be over the next 18 months. Because of the foregoing factors,
and as a result of Homestead's desire to issue a single class of convertible
mortgage notes, bearing a 9% per annum interest rate, the stated amounts of
the convertible mortgage notes were adjusted to provide an effective yield
(after giving effect to the premium due to the issuance of the Homestead
Warrants and the convertibility of the mortgage notes--see footnote (j) to
Homestead's Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) to each of PTR
(12.42% on a fully funded basis) and ATLANTIC (8.46% on a fully funded basis)
that is reflective of the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized
on all of the facilities contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
  Interest on the promissory notes accrues at the rate of 9% on the unpaid
principal balance payable every six months. The promissory notes are scheduled
to mature on October 31, 2006. Homestead has pledged substantially all of its
assets as collateral for the promissory notes. PTR and ATLANTIC have the
right, beginning on or after March 31, 1997, to convert all of the outstanding
principal amount of the promissory notes into shares of Homestead Common Stock
on the basis of one share of Homestead Common Stock for each $11.50 aggregate
principal amount outstanding on the promissory notes being converted. This
conversion rate is subject to adjustment on substantially the same terms as
the Homestead Warrants.
 
                   CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF
                        HOMESTEAD'S CHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
  The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and
the Homestead Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete
and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law
and the Homestead Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
 
CLASSIFICATION OF THE HOMESTEAD BOARD
 
  Homestead's Bylaws provide that the number of directors may be established
by the Homestead Board but may not be fewer than three nor more than fifteen.
Any vacancy will be filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting
called for that purpose, by a majority of the remaining directors, except that
a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be filled
by a majority of the entire Homestead Board. Pursuant to the Homestead
Charter, the directors are divided into three classes. At the 1997 annual
meeting of shareholders, one class will be elected to hold office initially
for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998,
another class will be elected to hold office initially for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999 and another class will
be elected to hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting
of shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class expires,
directors in that class will be elected for a term of three years and until
their successors are duly elected and qualify. Homestead believes that
classification of the Homestead Board will help to assure the continuity and
stability of Homestead's business strategies and policies as determined by the
Homestead Board.
 
  The classified director provision could have the effect of making the
replacement of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult, which
could discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of Homestead, even though such an attempt might
be beneficial to Homestead and its shareholders. At least two annual meetings
of shareholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change
in a majority of the Homestead Board. Thus, the classified board provision
could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their
positions.

DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except to liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Homestead Charter
contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law.
 
  Homestead's officers and directors are and will be indemnified under the
Homestead Charter against certain liabilities. The Homestead Charter provides
that Homestead will, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect
from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in
advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a
present or former director or officer of Homestead or (b) any individual who,
while a director of Homestead and at the request of Homestead, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or
trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise. Homestead has the power, with the approval
of the Homestead Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of
expenses to a person who served a predecessor of Homestead in any of the
capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of
Homestead or its predecessors.
 
  Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Homestead Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who
has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service
in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present
and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation. Maryland law permits Homestead to advance
reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon Homestead's receipt of (a) a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
by Homestead as authorized by Homestead's Bylaws and (b) a written statement
by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Homestead
if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
  Additionally, Homestead has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its officers and directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses and
liabilities of such officer or director, arising out of any lawsuit or claim
against such officer or director due to the fact that he or she was or is
serving as an officer or director, except for such liabilities and expenses
(a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating
to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating to
judicially determined criminal violations.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Homestead
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Homestead has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
 
                                      51
<PAGE>
 
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
of such an Interested Stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most
recent date on which the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by
the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative
vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of
outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (b) two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation
other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder with whom (or with whose
affiliate) the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
conditions, the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price (as
defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in
cash or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for
its shares. These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business
combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the
corporation prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an
Interested Stockholder. The Homestead Board has exempted from these provisions
of the MGCL any business combination with SCG and its affiliates and
successors. As a result, SCG and its affiliates and successors may be able to
enter into business combinations with Homestead that may not be in the best
interests of its stockholders without compliance by Homestead with the super-
majority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.
 
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
  Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation
acquired in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable
proxy): (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more
but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more of all voting power.
Control Shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to
vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A
"Control Share acquisition" means the acquisition of Control Shares, subject
to certain exceptions.
 
  A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.
If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the
question at any stockholders meeting.
 
  If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may
redeem any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights
have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to
the absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the
last Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the
voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights
for Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror
becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.
 
  The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.
 
                                      52
<PAGE>
 
  Homestead's Bylaws contain a provision exempting SCG and its affiliates and
successors from the provisions of the Control Share acquisition statute.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS
 
  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of stockholders by a stockholder, the Homestead Bylaws require such
stockholder to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified
circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to
each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of
directors, pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) as to any
other business that the stockholder proposed to bring before the meeting, a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting,
the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material
interest in such business of such stockholder and of the beneficial owner, if
any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made; and (iii) as to the
stockholder giving the notice and beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf
the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such
stockholder as they appear on Homestead's books, and of such beneficial owner
and (y) the number of shares of each class of stock of Homestead which are
owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial
owner, if any.
 
                       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Upon completion of the Mergers, Homestead will have 17,749,735 shares of
Homestead Common Stock (including the 2,243,038 shares held in escrow) and
Homestead Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued and outstanding. All of the shares to be issued in the Distribution,
other than any shares purchased by affiliates, will be tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act. The shares of Homestead Common Stock
currently issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance upon conversion of
the convertible mortgage notes or exercise of options will be eligible for
sale, subject to the volume resale, manner of sale and notice limitations of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
 
  In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated
in accordance with the Rule) who has beneficially owned his or her shares of
Homestead Common Stock for at least two years, including any such persons who
may be deemed "affiliates" of Homestead (as defined in the Securities Act),
would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then
outstanding number of shares or the average weekly trading volume of the
shares during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale. After shares
are held for three years, a person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of
Homestead is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the
volume limitations described above. Sales of shares of Homestead Common Stock
by affiliates will continue to be subject to the volume limitations. As
defined in Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or

  Homestead has granted SCG, which will beneficially own 7,651,370 shares of
Homestead Common Stock after the ATLANTIC IPO and the Transaction, and each of
PTR and ATLANTIC, certain registration rights. See "Certain Relationships and
Transactions--SCG Investor Agreement" and "--ATLANTIC and PTR Investor
Agreements."
 
  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares or the availability of shares for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares
(including shares issued upon the exercise of warrants and options), or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of the shares.

                PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
 
                              AS OF JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented as
if the following transactions had occurred on June 30, 1996; (I) the PTR-
Homestead Village Group including land parcels which were under contract as of
June 30, 1996 and expected to be acquired prior to the date of the
transaction, merged with and into Homestead; (II) the acquisition of net
assets of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group including land parcels which
were under contract as of June 30, 1996 and expected to be acquired prior to
the Closing Date had been completed; (III) the acquisition of the net assets
of SCG-Homestead Village Group had occurred. Such pro forma information is
based in part on the historical Combined Balance Sheets of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-Homestead
Village Group. It should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
listed in the index page F-1 of this Prospectus. In management's opinion, all
adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been
made.
 
  In accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Funding Commitment Agreement
the PTR-Homestead Village Group will contribute a total of 54 facilities
either in operation, under construction or in pre-development planning.
Similarly, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group will contribute a total of 26
facilities either in operation, under construction or in pre-development
planning. Subsequent to the Closing Date, PTR and Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") will be obligated to provide the additional funding
to complete the development of the facilities contributed. The Pro Forma
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet excludes expected development costs
related to the properties under development or planned to be developed and the
related convertible mortgage notes for the period July 1, 1996 through
ultimate completion of the facilities and therefore is not reflective of the
entire transaction.
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position would have been
assuming these transactions had been completed as of June 30, 1996, nor does
it purport to represent the future financial position of Homestead.

    Village Group as of June 30, 1996, which is presented elsewhere in this
    registration statement.
(b) Reflects the conversion of convertible mortgage notes of the PTR-Homestead
    Village Group to capital contributed as a result of the transaction. In
    accordance with the Merger Agreement, PTR will receive all of its shares
    of Homestead Common Stock at the Closing Date (representing 30% of the
    fair market value of its assets contributed at full funding). Based on the
    pro forma costs at the Closing Date, the face value of the convertible
    mortgages would be limited to $67,347. Therefore, the balance of
    convertible mortgage notes payable at June 30, 1996 ($77,289) less the
    maximum convertible mortgage notes payable at the Closing Date ($67,347)
    equals the convertible mortgage notes converted to capital ($9,942).
(c) Reflects the land to be acquired by the PTR-Homestead Village Group
    subsequent to June 30, 1996 and prior to the Closing Date. The land
    consists of nine separate parcels of developed land that will be
    contributed to Homestead unencumbered by any mortgage or other financial
    obligation at the Closing Date. The PTR-Homestead Village Group intends to
    acquire these parcels utilizing capital contributed by its parent company,
    PTR.
(d) Reflects the conversion of intercompany debt of the PTR-Homestead Village
    Group to contributed capital in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
(e) Reflects the capitalization of Homestead through the issuance of 1,000
    shares of Homestead Common Stock in exchange for $1.
(f) Reflects the issuance of 9,485,727 shares of Homestead Common Stock to PTR
    in exchange for the net assets of the PTR-Homestead Village Group. This
    transaction is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common
    control and accordingly, assets and liabilities are reflected at the PTR-
    Homestead Village Group's historical cost. Additionally, PTR would receive
    6,363,789 warrants to purchase additional shares of Homestead Common Stock
    at the exercise price of $10 per share for its commitment to provide
    funding under the Funding Commitment Agreement. Management of PTR,
    ATLANTIC and other affiliates of SCG ("Management") determined the
    exercise price of the warrants and believes that $10 per share represents
    adequate consideration for a share of Homestead Common Stock. See (j)
    below for determination of the value and accounting treatment of the
    Homestead Warrants described herein.
(g) Reflects the acquisition of the net assets of the Atlantic-Homestead
    Village Group by Homestead based on the estimated fair market value of the
    net assets acquired through the issuance to ATLANTIC of Homestead Common
    Stock. Estimated fair market value for all parties in the transaction is
    based on the relative fair value of the net assets received by Homestead
    as used in determining the relative ownership percentage of PTR, ATLANTIC
    and SCG in Homestead. The methodology used was based upon the present
    values of the cash flows of the contributions made by each such party.
    With respect to each of PTR and ATLANTIC, SCG prepared those present
    values by discounting the future net cash flows for the 80 identified
    Homestead Village properties in operation, under construction or in pre-
    development planning at July 1, 1996 which will be contributed by each of
    them to Homestead in connection with the Mergers. With respect to SCG, SCG
    calculated the present value of the cash flows from the PTR and ATLANTIC
    REIT management fees and property management fees which SCG would have
    received from such 80 Homestead Village properties, net of operating
    overhead. Listed below is a reconciliation of the historical cost of the
    net assets acquired to the pro forma estimated fair market value
    acquisition cost, followed by explanations of the pro forma acquisition
    adjustments.

    (i) Reflects estimated costs of $9,028 relating to the acquisition of
    eight parcels of land under contract to be acquired for cash,
    subsequent to June 30, 1996 and prior to the Closing Date. Also
    included is $4,076 which represents the amount by which the estimated
    fair market value of the net assets acquired exceeds the historical
    cost basis. This excess has been attributed to property and equipment
    as management believes that the carrying amount of the remaining assets
    and liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity
    of these instruments. The acquisition cost was determined by
    Management. The fair market value of the property and equipment was
    estimated using a premium over cost, which Management believes is
    reasonable considering value added during the development process.
 
    (ii) Reflects, for pro forma purposes, cash of $19,566 contributed by
    Atlantic as partial consideration for the Homestead stock received. The
    cash payment is necessary to facilitate ATLANTIC's receipt of its
    entire share of common stock on the Closing Date in accordance with the
    Merger Agreement (The actual cash dollar amount paid is expected to be
    reduced to approximately $18,600 by the Closing Date as a result of
    development costs incurred between June 30, 1996 and the Closing Date).
 
    (iii) Reflects the conversion of all intercompany debt into contributed
    capital immediately prior to the Transaction.
 
    (iv) Reflects the impact on shareholders' equity of adjustments (i),
    (ii) and (iii), above. Based upon the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC will
    receive 4,201,220 shares of Homestead Common Stock having a value of
    $51,699. Such value was determined based on the assumed value of the
    Homestead Common Stock of approximately $12.31 per share (the "Assumed
    Value"), which is based solely on the estimated fair market value of
    the net assets contributed by PTR, ATLANTIC, and SCG. This per share
    amount is not intended as an indication of the price at which shares of
    Homestead Common Stock may actually trade and no assurance can be given
    as to the price at which the shares of Homestead Common Stock will
    trade. Additionally, ATLANTIC will receive 2,818,517 Homestead Warrants
    to purchase additional shares of Homestead Common Stock at the exercise
    price of $10 per share in exchange for entering into the Funding
    Commitment Agreement. Management determined the exercise price of the
    Homestead Warrants and concluded that $10 per share represents adequate
    consideration for a share of Homestead Common Stock. See (j) below for
    determination of the value and accounting treatment of the Homestead
    Warrants described herein.
(h) Reflects the acquisition of the net assets of the SCG-Homestead Village
    Group by Homestead based on the estimated fair market value of the net
    assets acquired through the issuance to SCG of Homestead Common Stock. For
    a description of the determination of the estimated fair market value of
    the net assets acquired, see (g) above. Listed below is a reconciliation
    of the historical cost of the net assets acquired to the pro forma
    estimated fair market value acquisition cost, followed by explanations of
    the pro forma acquisition adjustments.

    owning and operating the Homestead Village properties. The estimated
    fair market value of the net assets acquired is approximately $49,995
    for which Homestead will issue 4,062,788 shares of $.01 par value
    common stock. At the Closing Date, SCG will receive a pro rata portion
    (1,773,186) of the total shares, based upon the ratio (43.66%) of
    actual funding provided by PTR and ATLANTIC to Homestead as of June 30,
    1996 to the total expected funding to be provided, as more fully
    described in the Transaction (the 1,773,186 shares issued to SCG is
    expected to increase to 1,819,750 shares issued at the Closing Date as
    a result of development costs incurred between June 30, 1996 and the
    Closing Date). Correspondingly, the proportional amount of the
    estimated fair market value recorded at the Closing Date is
    approximately $21,828, of which approximately $20,468 has been
    attributed to the trademarks and other intangible assets listed above.
    Management intends to amortize the intangible assets on a straight-line
    basis over a period of 20 years. The $20,468 has been attributed to
    these intangibles as management believes that the carrying amount of
    the remaining assets and liabilities approximates fair value because of
    the short maturity of these instruments. The $1,360 ($21,828-$20,468)
    difference represents the historical cost of the net assets of SCG
    after adjustment for (ii) and (iii) below. The identification of the
    trademark and other intangible assets listed above and the
    determination of the acquisition cost of the net assets was made by
    Management. A discounted cash flow method was used by management to
    estimate fair market value.     
 
    (ii) Reflects an adjustment to reduce accrued expenses and other
    liabilities for employee-related liabilities which will not be assumed
    by Homestead. Such adjustment is reflected as an addition to
    contributed capital.
 
    (iii) Reflects the conversion of all intercompany debt into contributed
    capital immediately prior to the Transaction.
       
    (iv) Reflects the impact on shareholders' equity of adjustments (i),
    (ii) and (iii) above. Additionally, SCG will receive 817,694 Homestead
    Warrants to purchase additional shares of Homestead Common Stock at the
    exercise price of $10 per share in exchange for the commitment to
    provide funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of
    the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date and the use of office
    facilities for one year. Management determined the exercise price of
    the Homestead Warrants and concluded that $10 per share represents
    adequate consideration for a share of stock of Homestead. See (j) below
    for determination of the value and accounting treatment of the
    Homestead Warrants described herein.     
   
(i) Reflects estimated expenses of consummating the Transaction.     
   
(j) Reflects the financing costs incurred by Homestead as a result of the
    Funding Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC and the other
    consideration received from SCG described in (iv) above. The 10,000,000
    Homestead Warrants to be issued to PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG were valued based
    on the difference between the Assumed Value of Homestead Common Stock and
    the $10 exercise price of the Warrants ($23,100). Additional financing
    costs were incurred by Homestead equal to the difference in the Assumed
    Value of the Homestead Common Stock and the $11.50 conversion price of the
    convertible mortgages to be assumed by Homestead at the Closing Date
    ($4,744). $25,955 of these costs will be amortized by Homestead using the
    effective interest rate method at an effective combined yield of 11.05%
    over the 10 year term of the convertible mortgages. The deferred costs
    related to the consideration provided by SCG ($1,889) will be amortized
    over a period not to exceed one year.     
   
(k) The remaining 2,289,602 shares of Homestead Common Stock will be issued to
    an escrow agent and held for SCG. As each property is funded under the
    Funding Commitment Agreements, the shares of Homestead Common Stock will
    be transferred to SCG. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
    Agreement."

             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead") are presented as if: I) Homestead
was capitalized and the PTR-Homestead Village Group merged into Homestead; II)
the PTR-Homestead Village Group acquired land parcels which were under
contract as of June 30, 1996 and expected to close prior to the Closing Date;
and III) Homestead acquired the net assets of the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group through the issuance of shares of
Homestead Common Stock and Homestead Warrants as of January 1, 1995. The
financial statements and related footnotes of the PTR-Homestead Village Group,
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group are
presented elsewhere in this registration statement. The statements also
include estimated incremental expenses related to operating a publicly held
company as if it were publicly held as of January 1, 1995. Such pro forma
information is based in part upon the Historical Combined Statements of
Operations of the PTR-Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group. It should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements listed in the index on page F-1 of this
Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are
not necessarily indicative of what Homestead's actual results of operations
would have been assuming such transactions had been completed as of January 1,
1995, nor do they purport to present the results of operations for future
periods. Results of operations and the related earnings or loss per share will
be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the total
number of extended-stay lodging facilities opened and operated and the related
operating results thereon, interest cost incurred on indebtedness, corporate
operating and management expenses, development and acquisition costs and the
number of shares issued. Additionally, the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

(a) Reflects the historical combined statements of operations of the PTR-
    Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-
    Homestead Village Group, which are presented elsewhere in this
    registration statement.
(b) Reflects the elimination of intercompany REIT and property management fee
    income and expense which will no longer be paid since Homestead will be
    self-managed.
(c) Reflects the adjustment for development overhead costs incurred by the
    SCG-Homestead Village Group in conjunction with the acquisition of land
    and the development of the extended-stay lodging facilities that will now
    be incurred and capitalized by Homestead in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles. Development overhead costs consisted
    primarily of payroll and related benefits and are included in the
    historical financial statements of the SCG-Homestead Village Group.
(d) Reflects the additional costs of operating as a public company for the six
    months ended June 30, 1996 including additional salaries and benefits,
    ($88) and legal, accounting and other professional fees ($75).
(e) Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the
    estimated useful lives of 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements
    and 2 to 7 years for equipment. This treatment is consistent with the
    historical financial statements and, therefore, no pro forma adjustment is
    necessary. Trademark and other intangible assets are being amortized over
    a period of 20 years. Amortization totaled $512 for the six months ended
    June 30, 1996. Upon release of the escrowed shares to SCG additional
    trademark and other intangibles of $28,167 would be recorded and
    amortization for the six months would increase by $704. Net loss for the
    six months ended June 30, 1996, as adjusted for the increase in
    amortization, would be $(905) or $(.03) per common share.
(f) Reflects the adjustment to reduce interest expense as a result of the
    conversion of $9,942 of convertible mortgage notes, bearing interest at 9%
    and $30,110 of intercompany debt, bearing interest at rates between 8% and
    8.25% to contributed capital.
(g) Prior to the proposed transaction, the PTR-Homestead Village Group and the
    Atlantic-Homestead Village Group were taxed as qualified real estate
    investment trust subsidiaries under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    amended. The SCG-Homestead Village Group was a subsidiary of a Subchapter
    C corporation, which has experienced operating losses since its inception.
    Therefore, as described further in the historical combined financial
    statements of the PTR-Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead
    Village Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group, which appear elsewhere
    in this registration statement, no provision was required for federal or
    state income taxes.
  Homestead will be taxed as a Subchapter C corporation and, as such, will be
  subject to federal and any applicable state income taxes. The components of
  the pro forma adjustment for income taxes consist of the following:

    Common Stock outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1996 based
    upon the assumed issuance of 17,750 total shares of Homestead Common
    Stock, including the shares in escrow, at the beginning of the period.
  Additionally, reflects the assumed conversion of the 9% convertible mortgage
  notes into 5,856 shares of Homestead Common Stock at the conversion price of
  $11.50 per share which is less than the assumed value of the Homestead
  Common Stock. Similarly, the 10,000 Homestead Warrants, which are
  exercisable at $10 per share were considered common stock equivalents since
  the exercise price is less than the assumed value of the Homestead Common
  Stock.
(i) Reflects the amortization of deferred financing costs described in note
    (j) to the Homestead Proforma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Owners of
The PTR-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the PTR-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995 and the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1995. In connection with our audits, we also have audited the accompanying
Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These combined
financial statements and combined financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the PTR-Homestead Village Group's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
and combined financial statement schedule based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related combined financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic combined financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                        THE PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of PTR Homestead Village Incorporated and its
consolidated limited partnership, PTR Homestead Village Limited Partnership,
hereinafter collectively referred to as the PTR-Homestead Village Group. PTR
Homestead Village Incorporated directly owns a 99% limited partner interest in
PTR Homestead Village Limited Partnership and through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, also owns a 1% general partner interest. PTR Homestead Village
Incorporated is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital Pacific Trust, a
real estate investment trust, ("PTR"). Each of the entities comprising the
PTR-Homestead Village Group were formed in 1995. Prior to formation, the
activities of these entities were performed within PTR. Such activities have
been carved out of PTR for purposes of inclusion in the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group are being presented on a combined basis as PTR Homestead Village
Incorporated is expected to be subject to a merger transaction with certain
affiliated groups of entities in which Homestead Village Incorporated will own
and operate these properties subsequent to the merger transaction. (See the
Prospectus for a description of the merger transaction.) Management of PTR
believes that the combined financial statements results in a more meaningful
presentation than presenting the separate historical financial statements of
each entity.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group develops, owns and manages extended-stay
lodging facilities located primarily in the western part of the United States
designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. Rooms are generally rented on a
weekly basis to guests such as business travelers, professionals and others,
with most guests staying multiple weeks.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is carried at cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value. Costs directly related to the acquisition,
renovation or development of real estate are capitalized. Repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
  Depreciation is computed utilizing a straight-line method over the estimated
economic lives of depreciable property. Properties are depreciated principally
over the following useful lives:
 
<TABLE>
           <S>                                    <C>
           Buildings and improvements............ 20-40 years
           Furniture, fixtures and equipment and
            other................................ 2-7 years
</TABLE>
 
 Interest
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group capitalizes interest incurred during the
land development or construction period for qualifying projects. Interest
capitalized is included in the cost of properties in the accompanying combined
financial statements. Total interest capitalized amounted to $426,529,
$1,038,815 and $2,142,628 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and
1995, respectively, and $881,138 and $1,234,166 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Interest paid amounted to approximately
$681,500, $2,447,800 and $5,100,600 for the years ended December 31, 1993,
1994 and 1995, respectively, and $2,172,015 and $657,139 for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.

                        THE PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 Other Assets
 
  Other assets consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the
pursuit of land to be acquired for development including refundable earnest
money deposits of $175,000 and $795,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively and $1,075,000 at June 30, 1996. Costs incurred in connection
with the pursuit of unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at
the time the pursuit is abandoned.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Room revenue and other income are recognized when earned, utilizing the
accrual method of accounting. A provision for possible bad debts is made when
collection of receivables is considered doubtful.
 
 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The companies comprising the PTR-Homestead Village Group are qualified
subsidiaries of PTR, which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust ("REIT").
 
  REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution
and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. PTR has met each of those
tests for each of the years and interim periods for which combined financial
statements are presented. Accordingly, no income tax provision or benefit has
been reflected in the combined financial statements of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group for the periods presented.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
assets, development costs payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximates fair value as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996
because of the short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the carrying
value of the intercompany debt and convertible mortgage notes payable
approximates fair value as of those dates as the interest rates approximate
market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of such combined financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the PTR-Homestead Village Group future results of
operations for the full year ending December 31, 1996.

  The PTR-Homestead Village Group's strategy is to focus on the ownership of
extended-stay lodging facilities. Properties are periodically evaluated for
impairment by comparing the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows
to the carrying value of the assets and in the event the carrying value
exceeds such cash flows, provisions for possible losses, measured as the
amount by which the carrying value exceeds such cash flows, are made if
required. No such impairment losses have been recognized to date. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 entitled "Accounting For The Impairment
Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" has been
adopted by the PTR-Homestead Village Group, as required by the statement
effective January 1, 1996. The adoption of the statement had no impact on the
combined financial statements at the date of adoption.
 
4. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL:
 
  The combined financial statements of the PTR-Homestead Village Group reflect
intercompany debt assumed to have been borrowed from PTR to fund the
acquisition and development of the Homestead Village properties.

                        THE PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
Acquisition and development costs were assumed to have been financed through
borrowings from PTR up through the completion date of each respective
property. Upon completion of a property, 30% of the intercompany debt
associated with the property was assumed to have been converted to contributed
capital. This assumption was made to reflect the ultimate leverage ratio (70%
convertible mortgage debt and 30% common equity) expected to exist within
Homestead after the funding commitment is fulfilled. Borrowings were assumed
to bear interest at the weighted average interest rate of PTR's line of credit
and unsecured long term debt which rates ranged from 6.3% to 9.25% for the
period from January 1, 1993 through June 30, 1996. Interest costs were either
expensed or capitalized in accordance with the PTR-Homestead Village Group's
accounting policy for capitalization of interest cost discussed above.
Approximately $77,289,000 of intercompany debt was converted to convertible
mortgage notes payable in January 1996 (Note 5).
 
5. CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:
 
  On January 24, 1996, the entities comprising the PTR-Homestead Village Group
(the "Borrower") executed convertible mortgage notes payable in favor of PTR.
Approximately $77 million of these notes are outstanding at June 30, 1996 and
are secured by currently owned Homestead Village properties. Additionally,
these notes will further be secured by land to be acquired and developed. The
terms of the notes provide for interest only payments of 9% per annum with
payments beginning six months from the date of the note. The notes are due and
payable on or before October 31, 2006.
 
  The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of PTR, into common shares
of the Borrower at any time beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion price is
equal to 115% of the value of the common shares at the date of the note, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower.
 
6. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS:
 
  PTR has a REIT management agreement with Security Capital Pacific
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), a subsidiary of Security Capital Group
Incorporated ("SCG"), which is a significant shareholder of PTR. The REIT
Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management of PTR, including
research, investment analysis, acquisition and development, asset management,
capital markets, and legal and accounting services. All officers of PTR are
employees of the REIT Manager and PTR has no employees.
 
  The REIT management agreement requires PTR to pay a stipulated base annual
fee plus 16% of cash flow, as defined in the agreement. The PTR-Homestead
Village Group's allocable share of the REIT management fee was based on 16% of
its properties defined cash flow. Such fees, which are included in corporate
operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, were as
follows:

  Additionally, in 1995, the PTR-Homestead Village Group entered into property
management agreements with Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty") to manage its operating properties. Prior to 1995, such agreements
were with SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty"). Both Homestead
Realty and SCG Realty are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SCG. Fees for such
services are computed as a percentage (5.0%-7.0%) of gross revenues, as
defined. Such fees, which are included in property operating expenses in the
accompanying statements of operations, were as follows:

  Accrued expenses include $55,000 and $470,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively and $526,000 at June 30, 1996 payable to these affiliates for the
REIT and property management services including amounts owed for reimbursement
of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the REIT Manager.
 
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
 Finder's Agreements
 
  Pursuant to a series of agreements between PTR and an unaffiliated person
("Finder") who developed the Homestead Village concept, Finder has performed
certain services. The agreements which expire February 5, 2043, provide for
the payment of fees to Finder as follows: (i) $535,000 annually with respect
to the four properties for which Finder assisted in the location, development
and initial operations; (ii) an annual amount of $7,500 per property (subject
to certain conditions as defined in the agreements) for assistance in site
location with respect to the first 35 properties constructed (other than the
four properties referred to in (i) above); (iii) 20% of the net proceeds as
defined per the agreements, upon the sale of the four properties to an
unaffiliated third party; and (iv) 10% of the net proceeds as defined per the
agreement, upon the sale of the additional 35 properties to an unaffiliated
third party. No such sales have occurred to date. Fees paid under this
agreement and reflected in the accompanying combined statements of operations
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 aggregated approximately
$120,000, $646,000 and $611,000, respectively, and $300,000 and $320,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Effective December
1994, the agreement to assist in the site location of any additional
properties beyond the 39 properties was terminated. Additionally, Finder has
agreed not to compete, directly or indirectly, with the Homestead Village
properties in certain states in which PTR does business through December 31,
1996.
 
 Other
 
  At June 30, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of approximately $24.3
million.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group is subject to environmental regulations
related to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real
estate. As part of its due diligence procedures, the PTR-Homestead Village
Group has conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each property prior
to acquisition. The cost of complying with environmental regulations was not
material to PTR-Homestead Village Group's results of operations for any of the
periods presented. The PTR-Homestead Village Group is not aware of any
environmental condition on any of its properties which is likely to have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Owners of
The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Atlantic-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1995 and
the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and cash flows
for the period from April 3, 1995 (date of formation) through December 31,
1995. In connection with our audit, we also have audited the accompanying
Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These combined
financial statements and combined financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
and combined financial statement schedule based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Atlantic-
Homestead Village Group as of December 31, 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from April 3, 1995 (date of
formation) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related combined financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic combined
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

                     THE ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of Alabama Homestead Incorporated, Atlantic Homestead
Village Incorporated and its consolidated limited partnership, Atlantic
Homestead Village Limited Partnership, hereinafter collectively referred to as
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group. Through various wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Atlantic Homestead Village Incorporated owns a 99% limited
partner and a 1% general partner interest in Atlantic Homestead Village
Limited Partnership. Alabama Homestead Incorporated and Atlantic Homestead
Village Incorporated are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated, a real estate investment trust ("ATLANTIC"). The
entities comprising the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group were formed
commencing April 3, 1995.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group are being presented on a combined basis as Alabama Homestead
Incorporated and Atlantic Homestead Village Incorporated are expected to be
subject to a merger transaction with certain affiliated groups of entities in
which Homestead Village Incorporated will own and operate the properties
subsequent to the merger transaction (See the Prospectus for a description of
the merger transaction). Management of ATLANTIC believes that the combined
financial statements result in a more meaningful presentation than presenting
the separate historical financial statements of each entity.
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group develops, owns and manages extended-
stay lodging facilities located in the southeastern region of the United
States designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. Rooms are generally
rented on a weekly basis to guests such as business travelers, professionals
and others, with most guests staying multiple weeks.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Properties Under Development
 
  As of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group had three properties and 11 properties under development, respectively.
Costs directly related to the acquisition, development or improvement of real
estate are capitalized. Property under development is carried at cost, which
is not in excess of estimated fair market value.
 
 Interest
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group capitalizes interest incurred during
the land development or construction period for qualifying projects. Interest
capitalized is included in the cost of properties in the accompanying combined
financial statements. All interest incurred was capitalized and amounted to
$35,528 for the period ended December 31, 1995 and $365,696 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996. No interest was paid through June 30, 1996. All interest
was added to the intercompany debt balance as incurred.
 
 Other Assets
 
  Other assets consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the
pursuit of land to be acquired for development including refundable earnest
money deposits of $950,000 and $1,319,000 at December 31, 1995 and June 30,
1996, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of
unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the pursuit
is abandoned.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
 
 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The companies comprising the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group are qualified
subsidiaries of ATLANTIC, a corporation which has elected to be taxed as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT").
 
  REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution
and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. ATLANTIC has met each of
those tests for each of the periods for which combined financial statements
are presented. Accordingly, no income tax provision or benefit has been
reflected in the combined financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group for the periods presented.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, development costs payable and accrued expenses approximates
fair value as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 because of the short
maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the carrying value of the
intercompany debt approximates fair value as of those dates as the weighted
average interest rates approximate market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of such combined financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group future results
of operations for the full year ending December 31, 1996.
 
3. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL:
 
  The combined financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group
reflect intercompany debt assumed to have been borrowed from ATLANTIC to fund
the acquisition and development of the Homestead Village properties.
Borrowings were assumed to bear interest at the weighted average interest rate
of ATLANTIC's debt, which was approximately 8.00% and 7.5% at December 31,
1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. Interest costs were capitalized in
accordance with the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's accounting policy for
capitalization of interest cost discussed above. All net operating costs and
expenses incurred were assumed to have been financed through capital
contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
4. CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:
 
  On January 24, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group (the "Borrower")
executed convertible mortgage notes payable in favor of ATLANTIC. These notes
are secured by the currently owned Homestead Village properties and will
further be secured by land to be acquired and developed. The terms of the
notes provide for interest only payments of 9% per annum with payments
beginning six months from the issue date of each note. The notes are due and
payable on or before October 31, 2006. There were no borrowings under these
notes during the period ended June 30, 1996.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
  The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of ATLANTIC, into common
shares of the Borrower at any time beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion
price is equal to 115% of the value of the common shares at the date of the
note, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower.
 
5. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC has a REIT management agreement with Security Capital (Atlantic)
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), a subsidiary of Security Capital Group
Incorporated ("SCG"), which is a majority shareholder of ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management of ATLANTIC,
including research, investment analysis, acquisition and development, asset
management, capital markets, and legal and accounting services. All officers
of ATLANTIC are employees of the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC has no employees.
 
  The REIT management agreement requires ATLANTIC to pay an annual fee of 16%
of cash flow, as defined in the agreement. The Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group's allocable share of the REIT management fee is based on 16% of its
properties defined cash flow. No fees were payable for the periods ended
December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996 as no properties were operating during such
periods.
 
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  At June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had unfunded
development commitments for developments under construction of approximately
$16.4 million.
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is subject to environmental regulations
related to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real
estate. As part of its due diligence procedures, the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group has conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each property
prior to acquisition. The cost of complying with environmental regulations was
not material to the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's results of operations
for the periods presented. The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is not aware
of any environmental condition on any of its properties which is likely to
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Shareholder of
The SCG-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the SCG-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995 and the related combined statements of operations, shareholder's equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995. These combined financial statements are the responsibility
of the SCG-Homestead Village Group's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                        THE SCG-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of Homestead Village Managers Incorporated and
Homestead Realty Services Incorporated, each incorporated in June 1995 and
SCG-Homestead Village Incorporated, incorporated in February, 1996. These
entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Capital Group Incorporated
("SCG") and are hereinafter collectively referred to as the SCG-Homestead
Village Group. Prior to incorporation, the activities of these entities were
performed within other subsidiaries of SCG. Such activities have been carved
out of those subsidiaries for purposes of inclusion in the accompanying
combined financial statements.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group are presented on a combined basis as these entities are expected
to be subject to a merger transaction with certain affiliated groups of
entities in which Homestead Village Incorporated will operate and manage
properties subsequent to the merger transaction. (See the Prospectus for a
description of the merger transaction.) Management of SCG believes that the
combined financial statements result in a more meaningful presentation than
presenting the separate historical financial statements of each subsidiary.
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group provides fee-based strategic and day-to-day
advisory services to affiliated real estate investment trusts (REITs) which
develop, own and operate extended-stay lodging facilities ("Homestead Village
Properties") designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. The services
provided include research, investment analysis, acquisition and development,
asset management, capital markets, property management and legal and
accounting.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Furniture and Equipment
 
  Furniture and equipment is carried at cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value. Depreciation is computed utilizing a straight-
line method over the estimated economic lives of depreciable property,
generally five to seven years.
 
  The following summarizes furniture and equipment as of December 31, 1994,
1995 and June 30, 1996 (in thousands):

 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 Income Taxes
 
  None of the entities within the SCG-Homestead Village Group have generated
taxable income since incorporation. The total net operating loss carryforward
of these entities is approximately $378,000 and $1,359,000 as of December 31,
1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively, and expire in varying amounts through
2016. The deferred tax asset resulting from these net operating loss
carryforwards has been fully reserved due to its uncertain realizability.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value as of
December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996 because of the short maturity of
these instruments. Similarly, the carrying value of the intercompany debt
approximates fair value as of those dates as the interest rates approximate
market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such combined financial
statements have been included. The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group's future results of operations for the full year ending December
31, 1996.
 
3. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL:
 
  The operating expenses incurred by the SCG-Homestead Village Group were
assumed to have been financed through capital contributed by SCG through 1994.
Commencing in 1995, such costs were financed in part through unsecured
borrowings from SCG which are due on demand. The advances include interest at
prime plus 1/4%, (8.75% and 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996,
respectively). No interest was paid, all interest was added to the
intercompany debt balance as incurred. Interest expense was $69,843 and
$106,984 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June
30, 1996, respectively, and is included in the "Other expense" caption in the
combined statements of operations.
 
4. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES
 
  SCG, the parent of the entities comprising the SCG-Homestead Village Group
has entered into agreements with affiliated real estate investment trusts,
Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR") and Security Capital Atlantic,
Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") to provide REIT management services. The services
with respect to the Homestead Village Properties are provided by the employees
of the SCG-Homestead Village Group and, therefore, the fees earned from
providing such services have been included in the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  The REIT management fees are generally based on 16% of cash flow, as defined
in the agreements. The fees earned by the SCG-Homestead Village Group which
were based on the cash flow (as defined) of the Homestead Village Properties
operated by PTR (no ATLANTIC properties were operational as of June 30, 1996)
were as follows:

  Additionally, in 1995 Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty") entered into property management agreements with PTR's Homestead
Village subsidiaries to manage their operating properties. Prior to 1995 such
agreements were with SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty"), a
subsidiary of SCG and a predecessor of Homestead Realty. Fees for such
services are computed as a percentage (5.0%-7.0%) of gross revenues, as
defined. Property management fees earned for each period were as follows:

5. TRANSACTIONS WITH SCG
 
  SCG serves as cash manager for the entities in the SCG-Homestead Village
Group. In this capacity SCG collects all cash attributable to the SCG-
Homestead Village Group business activities and makes all cash disbursements
on behalf of the SCG-Homestead Village Group. Additionally, the SCG-Homestead
Village Group is allocated overhead expenses and certain other costs from SCG
related to occupancy and other services provided to the SCG-Homestead Village
Group by SCG. In the opinion of management, the allocation of costs and
expenses have been made on a basis which is believed to be reasonable however,
the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses the
SCG-Homestead Village Group may have incurred on its own account.

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
 
  Homestead Village Incorporated (formerly Homestead Village Properties
Incorporated), a Maryland corporation ("Homestead"), was formed on January 26,
1996 to develop, own and manage extended-stay lodging facilities under the
Homestead Village tradename. Homestead's extended-stay lodging rooms are
designed to appeal to value-conscious guests such as business travelers,
