STATUS OF THE OFFERING

As of April 25, 1997, the Company had closed the sale to investors of
2,084,444 Shares at $9 per Share, and 3,563,116 Shares at $10 per Share,
representing aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $54,391,156, and
proceeds net of selling commissions and expenses of $45,568,042. These totals
include 417,777 Shares purchased by Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc., as
described below under "Developments Involving Cornerstone Realty Income Trust,
Inc. -- Authorization For Additional Share Issuance."

DEVELOPMENTS INVOLVING CORNERSTONE REALTY INCOME TRUST, INC.

AUTHORIZATION FOR ADDITIONAL SHARE ISSUANCE. On February 10, 1997, in
response to a request from Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc.
("Cornerstone"), the Company's Board of Directors authorized the grant to
Cornerstone of a continuing right to purchase such number of Shares of the
Company as would, following any such purchase, be up to but not in excess of
9.8% of the total number of Shares of the Company then outstanding. This right
will continue for so long as the Company's Initial Offering continues, and the
purchase price for such Shares under such right will be the current public
offering price less the Selling Commissions and Marketing Expense Allowance
payable with respect thereto. Shares sold to Cornerstone pursuant to this right
would be in addition to, and not part of, the offering made by the Prospectus.

The Company elected to grant to Cornerstone this ongoing right because it
determined that the issuance of Shares in this manner would represent an
appropriate and financially prudent method of raising additional equity for the
Company. Glade M. Knight, who is a Director and the Chairman and President of
the Company, also serves as a Director, and the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Cornerstone. To the extent that Cornerstone exercises its right to
acquire up to 9.8% of the outstanding Shares of the Company, Cornerstone may
become one of the largest, or perhaps the largest, shareholder of the Company,
with commensurate voting power.

S-1

<PAGE>

On April 25, 1997, Cornerstone exercised the right described above and
purchased 417,777 Shares of the Company for approximately $3.76 million.
Cornerstone owns approximately 7.4% of the Shares of the Company outstanding on
April 25, 1997.

POSSIBLE ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY BY CORNERSTONE. As described in the
Prospectus, under "Investment Objectives and Policies-Sale and Refinancing
Policies," the Company has granted to Cornerstone a right of first refusal to
purchase the properties and business of the Company. Cornerstone has stated its
intention, by the end of 1997, to evaluate the acquisition of the Company and,
if the Board of Directors of Cornerstone determines it is in the best interests
of Cornerstone and its shareholders, to offer to acquire the Company or its
assets. Any decision to combine the Company and Cornerstone can only be made by
the respective Boards of Directors, and depending on the structure of the
transaction, the respective shareholders, of the two companies. Accordingly,
there can be no assurance that Cornerstone will seek to acquire the Company or
its assets or that any proposal by Cornerstone to acquire the Company or its
assets would be consummated. Nevertheless, prospective investors in the Company
should consider and evaluate the possibility of Cornerstone acquiring the
Company or its assets in making an investment decision relative to the Company.

PROVIDING OF CERTAIN SERVICES BY CORNERSTONE. As described in the Prospectus
under "The Advisor and Affiliates," the Company has entered into contracts with
Apple Residential Advisors, Inc. ("ARA"), Apple Residential Management Group,
Inc. ("ARMG"), and Apple Realty Group, Inc. ("ARG"), pursuant to which ARA, ARMG
and ARG, respectively, have agreed to provide certain Company management,
property management and property acquisition and disposition services to the
Company in exchange for certain compensation described therein. ARA and ARMG
have entered into subcontracts with Cornerstone, each of which subcontracts has
been approved by the Company, pursuant to which Cornerstone has agreed to
provide to the Company the services previously agreed to be provided by ARA and
ARMG in exchange for the compensation previously agreed to be paid by the
Company to ARA and ARMG. Further, Cornerstone has acquired all the assets of ARG
(consisting principally of ARG's contract with the Company) for consideration
totalling $2 million, and pursuant to such acquisition has assumed the
obligations of ARG to the Company in exchange for the compensation previously
agreed to be paid by the Company to ARG.

The effect of the foregoing transactions is that Cornerstone will now render
to the Company services previously agreed to be rendered by ARA, ARMG and ARG,
in exchange for the compensation previously agreed to be paid by the Company. It
is not expected that any of these transactions will have any material effect on
the Company.

CORNERSTONE OPERATIONS. Through April 23, 1997, Cornerstone had sold
approximately $347 million in common shares to approximately 14,000 investors,
and had acquired 44 apartment communities in Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia. The aggregate cost of the 44 properties (including capital
improvements thereto) was approximately $369 million. The purchase price of all
such properties was paid either using the proceeds from the sale of common
shares or using the proceeds from an unsecured line of credit which was
subsequently repaid using proceeds from the sale of common shares, except that
at April 23, 1997, approximately $50 million remained unpaid on such line of
credit. See also "Update on Experience of Prior Programs" herein.

ADDITIONAL DIRECTOR; COMMITTEE MEMBERS

As referenced in the Prospectus under "Management," a fifth Director of the
Company has been elected. The fifth Director is Lisa B. Kern. Information on Ms.
Kern is set forth below.

LISA B. KERN. Ms. Kern, age 36, is a portfolio manager with Davenport & Co.
of Virginia, Inc., in Richmond, Virginia. Before joining Davenport as Vice
President in 1996, Ms. Kern advised clients in the areas of investments and
estate planning. She began her investment career in 1982 as a financial planner
and later District Manager with IDS/American Express Advisory. In 1985, Ms. Kern
received her CFP designation. In 1989, Ms. Kern joined Crestar Bank's Trust and
Investment Management Group as a Vice President. Ms. Kern is a graduate of
Randolph Macon College and received her MBA from Virginia Commonwealth

The current members of the Company's Executive Committee are Glade M. Knight,
Penelope W. Kyle and Bruce H. Matson. The current members of the Audit Committee
are Penelope W. Kyle, Ted W. Smith and Lisa B. Kern. The current members of the
Compensation Committee are Bruce H. Matson, Penelope W. Kyle and Lisa B. Kern.
For a description of the functions of the Executive, Audit and Compensation
Committees, see the Prospectus under the headings "Management-Committees of
Directors," and "Management-The Incentive Plan."

UNSECURED LINE OF CREDIT

As contemplated by the discussion in the Prospectus under the heading
"Business and Properties - Properties Owned by the Company" the Board of
Directors has authorized, and the Company has obtained, an unsecured line of
credit, which is designed to facilitate the timely acquisition of properties
deemed attractive by management. The unsecured line of credit the ("Unsecured
Line of Credit") is from First Union National Bank of Virginia. The borrowing is
a revolving loan for a principal amount not to exceed at any time $10 million.
The loan bears interest at a floating rate equal to the one month London
interbank offered rate ("LIBOR") plus 2%, requires monthly payments of interest
and has a due date of March 31, 1998. Although the Unsecured Line of Credit is
currently unsecured, the lender may require the securing of the loan with first
mortgages on the Company's properties if the principal amount of any advance is
not repaid within six months of the date of funding. As of April 28, 1997, the
unpaid balance on the Unsecured Line of Credit was approximately $9.14 million.

The Company has also obtained a line of credit from First Union National Bank
of Virginia in the amount of $1 million for general corporate purposes. The
terms of such borrowing are the same of those under the Unsecured Line of
Credit.

As the size of the Company grows, it is possible that the size of the
Unsecured Line of Credit will be increased or that the Company will obtain
another unsecured line of credit to facilitate the timely acquisition of
properties.

Irving is approximately eight miles west of the Dallas central business
district and approximately 25 miles east of downtown Fort Worth. Irving is a
relatively young city with a majority of its development occurring during the
latter half of this century. The location of Irving between Dallas and Fort
Worth, and near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, has enabled it to
garner a large portion of the area's recent commercial and industrial
development.

Irving is the site of Las Colinas, one of the nation's largest master-planned
real estate developments. The development occupies approximately 12,500 acres
and includes residential developments, office space, research, distribution and
light industrial facilities, four golf courses, the Las Colinas Sports Club and

Abbott Laboratories, Boeing, US Sprint, Computer Associates, Allstate Insurance,
Zale Jewelers and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. In addition, Columbia/HCA
Health Care Corporation recently signed an agreement to buy approximately 28
acres in the development. The plans for the land include a community hospital
with medical office complex and a full-service acute-care facility.

Irving has a well-defined highway system. The city is connected to Dallas by
State Highway 114 on the northeast, State Highway 183 in its central portion and
Interstate 30 on the south.

The apartments provide a combined total of approximately 169,000 square feet
of net rentable area.

Leases at the Property are generally for terms of one year or less. Average
rental rates for the past five years have generally increased. As an example, a
one-bedroom, one-bath apartment ("executive-down") rented for $455 in 1992, $460
in 1993, $500 in 1994, $545 in 1995 and $560 in 1996. The average effective
annual rental per square foot at the Property for 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995 and
1996 was $6.58, $6.65, $7.52, $7.88 and $8.10, respectively.

The buildings are wood frame construction with a combination of brick veneer
and wood siding on concrete slab foundations. Roofs are pitched composition
shingles.

The Property includes a swimming pool and deck, hot tub/whirlpool, weight
room, sand volleyball court, basketball court, gas grills, picnic area, laundry
room, curb-side trash pick-up and access gates. The Property also has a
clubhouse. There is ample paved parking for tenants, each of whom is assigned
one covered parking space and one uncovered parking space.

Each apartment unit has wall-to-wall carpeting in the living area and vinyl
floors in the kitchen and bath. Each apartment unit has a cable television
hook-up and an individually controlled heating and air conditioning unit. Each
apartment has ceiling fans and a privatebalcony or patio, and maid service is
available for an extra charge. Each kitchen has a refrigerator/freezer with ice
maker, electric range and oven, dishwasher, microwave and garbage disposal. All
the apartment units except the junior one bedroom units have a fireplace. Some
units also feature decorator bookcases, pass through bar, vaulted ceilings and
washer/dryer connections. Currently, the owner of the Property pays for cold
water, sewer service and trash removal. The tenants pay for their electricity
service, which includes cooking, lighting, heating, hot water and air
conditioning. The apartment units have recently been separately metered for
water and sewer charges, and it is expected that tenants will bear these charges
as leases are renewed or new leases are entered into.

There are at least five apartment properties which compete with the Property.
All offer similar amenities and generally have rents that are comparable to
those of the Property. Based on a recent telephone survey, the Advisor estimates
that occupancy in nearby competing properties now averages approximately 91%.

According to information provided by the seller, physical occupancy at the
Property averaged approximately 93% in 1992, 94% in 1993, 96% in 1994, 95% in
1995 and 96% in 1996. On April 23, 1997, the Property was 96% occupied. The
residents are a mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers and retired persons.

The following table sets forth the 1996 real estate tax information on the
Property:

JURISDICTION ASSESSED VALUE RATE TAX
------------ -------------- ---- ---

County of Tarrant.......... $5,600,000 $2.54706 $142,635.58

The basis of the depreciable residential real property portion of the
Property (currently estimated at about $5,114,687) will be depreciated over a
27.5 years on a straight-line basis. The basis of the personal property portion
will be depreciated in accordance with the modified accelerated cost recovery
system of the Code. Amounts to be spent by the Company on repairs and

the nature of the expenditures.

The Advisor and the Company believe that the Property is and will continue to
be adequately covered by property and liability insurance.

rendered to the Company in connection with the selection and acquisition of the
Property, the Company will pay Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. a property
acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the Property, or $154,978.

APPLE RESIDENTIAL INCOME TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEETS

DECEMBER 31, 1996

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a Virginia
corporation that intends to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
for federal income tax purposes. The Company, which has no operating history,
was formed to invest primarily in existing residential apartment communities in
Texas and southwestern regions of the United States. Initial capitalization
occurred on August 7, 1996.

Apple Residential Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), which owned 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. as of December
31, 1996, is the advisor to the Company and will provide its day-to-day
management under a proposed agreement between the Company and the Advisor.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INCOME TAXES

The Company intends to make an election to be treated, and expects to qualify,
as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, the
Company will be allowed a deduction for the amount of dividends paid to its
shareholders, thereby subjecting the distributed net income of the Company to
taxation only at the shareholder level. The Company's continued qualification as
a REIT will depend on its compliance with numerous requirements, including
requirements as to the nature of its income and distribution of dividends.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. OFFERING OF SHARES

The Company intends to raise capital through a "best-efforts" offering of shares
by David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the "Managing Dealer"), which will receive
selling commissions and a marketing expense allowance based on proceeds of the
shares sold.

A minimum offering of 1,666,667 shares ($15,000,000) must be sold no later than
November 19, 1997, or the offering will terminate and investors' subscription
payments, with interest, will be refunded to investors. Pending sale of such
minimum offering amount, investors' subscription payments will be placed in an
escrow account.

3. CLASS B CONVERTIBLE SHARES

On November 14, 1996, the Company issued 200,000 shares of Class B Convertible
Shares to Mr. Glade Knight, President and Chairman of the Board of the Company,
for $.10 per share or $20,000 in aggregate.

There are no dividends payable on the Class B Convertible Shares. On liquidation
of the Company, the holder of the Class B Convertible Shares is entitled to a
liquidation payment of $.10 per Class B Convertible Share before any
distribution of liquidation proceeds to the holders of the Common Shares.
Holders of more than two-thirds of the Class B Convertible Shares must approve
any proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that would adversely
affect the Class B Convertible Shares or create a new class of stock senior to
or on a parity with the Class B Convertible Shares. The Class B

F-4

<PAGE>

APPLE RESIDENTIAL INCOME TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEETS - (CONTINUED)

3. CLASS B CONVERTIBLE SHARES -(CONTINUED)

Convertible Shares are convertible into Common Shares upon and for 180 days
following the occurrence of either of the following events: (1) substantially
all of the Company's assets, stock or business is sold or otherwise transferred,
whether through sale, exchange, merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or
otherwise, or (2) the Advisory Agreement with the Advisor is terminated or not
renewed, and the Company ceases to use Apple Residential Management Group, Inc.
to provide substantially all of its property management services. Upon the
occurrence of either triggering event, each Class B Convertible Share is
convertible into a number of Common Shares based upon the gross proceeds raised
through the date of conversion in the "best efforts" offering according to the
following formula:

GROSS PROCEEDS RAISED FROM SALES NUMBER OF COMMON SHARES
OF COMMON SHARES THROUGH THROUGH CONVERSION OF ONE
DATE OF CONVERSION CLASS B CONVERTIBLE SHARE
-------------------------------- -------------------------
$ 50 million.............................. 1.0
$100 million ............................. 2.4
$150 million ............................. 4.2
$200 million ............................. 6.4
$250 million ............................. 8.0

No additional consideration is due upon the conversion of the Class B
Convertible Shares. Upon the probable occurrence of a triggering event, the
Company will record expense in the statement of operations based on
convertibility of the Class B Convertible Shares.

4. ORGANIZATIONAL AND OFFERING COSTS

As of December 31, 1996, affiliates of the Company have incurred on behalf of
the Company organizational and offering costs amounting to approximately
$522,000. Upon the sale of 1,666,667 Common Shares, the Company will reimburse
the affiliates for these organizational and offering costs.

5. RELATED PARTIES

The Company has negotiated a Property Management Agreement with Apple
Residential Management Group, Inc. ("ARMG") to manage each property to be
acquired by the Company for a management fee equal to 5% of gross rental
collections, plus reimbursement of certain expenses.

The Company has entered into a Property Acquisition and Disposition Agreement
with Apple Realty Group, Inc. ("ARG") to acquire and dispose of real estate
assets for the Company. A fee of 2% of the purchase or sale price of the
property will be payable for this service.

The Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement with the Apple Residential
Advisors, Inc. ("AA") to provide management for the Company and its assets. An
annual fee equal to .1% - .25% of total contributions received by the Company
will be payable for this service.

Mr. Knight owns 100% of the common stock of ARMG, ARG and AA.

Upon the completion of a public offering of common shares being pursued by
Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc., for which Mr. Knight also serves as Chief
Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Cornerstone will enter into a
contract with the Company and subcontracts with Apple Residential Management
Group, Inc. and Apple Residential Advisors, Inc. whereby Cornerstone will
provide advisory, property management and brokerage services to the Company in
exchange for fees and expense reimbursements as described above.

Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. has a continuing right to own up to 9.8%
of the common shares of Apple. In addition, Cornerstone has a right of first
refusal to purchase the properties and business of Apple.

NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEETS - (CONTINUED)

6. STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company has adopted two stock incentive plans (the "Incentive Plan" and
"Directors' Plan") to provide incentives to attract and retain directors,
officers and key employees. The plans provide for the grant of options to
purchase a specified number of shares of common stock ("Options") or grants of
restricted shares of common stock ("Restricted Stock") to selected employees and
directors of the Company and certain affiliates. A Compensation Committee
("Committee") will be established to implement and administer the plans. The
Committee will be responsible for granting Options and shares of Restricted
Stock and for establishing the exercise price of Options and the terms and
conditions of Restricted Stock.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

For the period January 1, 1997 through March 21, 1997, the Company closed the
sale to investors of 4,643,239 shares (1,666,667 at $9 per share and 2,976,572
at $10 per share) representing gross proceeds to the Company of $44,765,718 and
net proceeds after payment of selling commissions and other costs of
$40,289,146.

During January 1997, effective January 1, 1997, the Company acquired three
apartment communities. Brookfield Apartments, a 232- unit apartment community
located in Dallas, Texas, was purchased for $5,458,485. Eagle Crest Apartments,
a 484-unit apartment community located in Irving, Texas, was purchased for
$15,650,000. Tahoe Apartments, a 240-unit apartment community located in
Arlington, Texas, was purchased for $5,690,560. During February, 1997, the
Company acquired Mill Crossing Apartments, a 184-unit apartment community
located in Arlington, Texas for $4,544,121.

On March 1, 1997 the Company entered into an agreement with a commercial bank to
obtain an unsecured revolving line of credit of $10 million. The line of credit
expires on March 31, 1998. This agreement allows the Company to finance a
portion of the purchase price of property acquisitions. Borrowings under the
agreement are evidenced by an unsecured promissory note and bear interest at
one-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. As of March 26, 1997, there have been no
borrowings under the agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors
Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc.
Richmond, Virginia

We have audited the accompanying statement of income and direct operating
expenses exclusive of items not comparable to the proposed future operations of
the property Brookfield Apartments located in Dallas, Texas for the twelve month
period ended December 31, 1996. This statement is the responsibility of the
management of Brookfield Apartments. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on this statement 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 statement is free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the statement. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement. We believe that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion
in a filing by Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc.) and excludes material
expenses, described in Note 1 to the statement, that would not be comparable to
those resulting from the proposed future operations of the property.

In our opinion, the statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the income and direct operating expenses of Brookfield Apartments (as
defined above) for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1996, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
