This Annual Report  contains  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as amended.  Such statements  involve
known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors which may cause the
actual  results,  performance,  or  achievements of the Company to be materially
different  from the results of operations or plans  expressed or implied by such
forward-looking   statements.   Such  factors   include,   among  other  things,
unanticipated  adverse  business  developments  affecting  the  Company  or  the
properties,  as the case may be, and adverse  changes in the real estate markets
and general and local economies and business conditions and Year 2000 compliance
issues.  Although  the Company  believes  that the  assumptions  underlying  the
forward-looking   statements  contained  herein  are  reasonable,   any  of  the
assumptions  could be inaccurate,  and therefore  there can be no assurance that
such  statements  included in this Annual  Report will prove to be accurate.  In
light  of  the  significant   uncertainties   inherent  in  the  forward-looking
statements  included  herein,  the inclusion of such  information  should not be
regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the results
or conditions  described in such  statements or the  objectives and plans of the
Company will be achieved. In addition, the Company's continued  qualification as
a real estate  investment trust involves the application of highly technical and
complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Readers should carefully review
the Company's  financial  statements and the notes thereto,  as well as the risk
factors  described in the  Company's  filings with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.

                  Limited Partnership,  Apple REIT VII Limited Partnership,  the
                  "Company"), a Virginia corporation, was incorporated in August
                  1996.  Operations of rental property  commenced on January 28,
                  1997.  The  business  of the  Company is to  acquire  existing
                  residential  apartment  complexes  located  in  Texas  and the
                  southwestern region of the United States. The Company owned 25
                  properties comprising 6,604 apartment units within that region
                  as of December 31, 1998. The Company's  property  acquisitions

                  Originally, the properties were acquired and owned directly by
                  Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. without the interposition
                  or  use  of  any  subsidiary  companies.   Company  management
                  determined that the direct  ownership of its properties  could
                  inhibit in  certain  respects  the  Company's  flexibility  in
                  planning certain  transactions or  acquisitions.  For example,
                  the  direct-ownership  structure  makes it  difficult,  if not
                  impossible,  for  potential  sellers of properties to exchange
                  their  properties  for  equity  interest  in the  Company in a
                  manner that could defer tax liabilities for the sellers.

                  Company  management  felt that this lack of flexibility  could
                  hinder the Company's  acquisition of desirable properties from
                  sellers  seeking  such  tax  deferral.  Furthermore,   Company
                  management believed that the direct-ownership structure tended
                  to maximize the Company's exposure to certain franchise taxes.
                  Based upon the foregoing,  Company management  proposed to the
                  Board of  Directors,  and the Board of  Directors  adopted and
                  submitted for approval by the shareholders,  a proposal to the
                  effect of which would be to transfer the apartment  properties
                  of Apple  Residential  Income Trust, Inc. to a newly-organized
                  limited   partnership   indirectly   wholly-owned   by   Apple
                  Residential Income Trust, Inc. The shareholders  approved this
                  proposal on December 19, 1997.

                  Apple   Residential   Income  Trust,   Inc.   transferred  the
                  properties to a Virginia limited partnership,  the partners of
                  which are two newly created,  wholly-owned subsidiaries of the
                  Company.  Apple Residential  Income Trust, Inc. formed the two
                  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  Apple  Limited,  Inc.  and  Apple
                  General,  Inc., as Virginia  corporations.  Apple  Residential
                  Income Trust,  Inc. then  transferred  an undivided 99 percent
                  interest  in the  properties  to Apple  Limited,  Inc.  and an
                  undivided  1  percent  interest  in the  properties  to  Apple
                  General,  Inc.  Apple Limited,  Inc. and Apple  General,  Inc.
                  together  formed the limited  partnership,  Apple REIT Limited
                  Partnership  (the   "Partnership"),   as  a  Virginia  limited
                  partnership.  Apple Limited, Inc. contributed its 99% interest
                  in the  properties  to the  Partnership  in exchange for a 99%
                  limited  partnership   interest  in  the  Partnership.   Apple
                  General, Inc. contributed its 1% interest in the properties to
                  the  Partnership  in  exchange  for a 1%  general  partnership
                  interest in the  Partnership.  The properties were transferred
                  to the  Partnership on December 29, 1997. The  Partnership now
                  holds the properties  and conducts the business  activities of
                  the Company associated with the properties.

                  Shareholders  effectively  continue to hold the same ownership
                  interest  in  the   properties   following  the   transactions
                  described  above,  through  Apple  Residential  Income  Trust,
                  Inc.'s 100% ownership of Apple Limited, Inc. (which owns a 99%
                  interest  in the  Partnership),  and 100%  ownership  of Apple
                  General,  Inc.  (which owns 1%  interest in the  Partnership).
                  Apple General,  Inc., as general  partner of the  Partnership,
                  manages  the  affairs of the  Partnership.  Apple  Residential
                  Income Trust, Inc. as sole shareholder of Apple General,  Inc.
                  will be entitled to exercise the rights of a  100%-shareholder
                  with respect to Apple  General,  Inc.,  including the election
                  and removal of directors of that company. At the present time,
                  Glade M.  Knight,  Chairman  of the Board and Chief  Executive
                  Officer of Apple Residential  Income Trust,  Inc., is the sole
                  director and President of Apple General, Inc.

                  Environmental Matters
                  ---------------------

                  In  connection  with each of its  property  acquisitions,  the
                  Company  obtains  a  Phase  I  Environment   Report  and  such
                  additional   environmental   reports   and   surveys   as  are
                  necessitated  by  such  preliminary  report.   Based  on  such
                  reports,  the  Company  is  not  aware  of  any  environmental
                  situations requiring remediation at its properties, which have
                  not been or are not currently  being  remediated as necessary.
                  No material remediation costs have or are expected to occur.

(a) Funds  from  operations  is  defined  as income  before  gains  (losses)  on
investments  and  extraordinary  items  (computed in accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting   principles)  plus  real  estate  depreciation  and  after
adjustment for significant  nonrecurring items, if any. This definition conforms
to the  recommendations  set  forth in a White  Paper  adopted  by the  National
Association of Real Estate  Investment  Trusts (NAREIT).  The company  considers
funds from  operations in  evaluating  property  acquisitions  and its operating
performance,  and believes that funds from operations should be considered along
with,  but not as an  alternative  to, net income and cash flows as a measure of
the company's operating performance and liquidity. Funds from operations,  which
may not be comparable to other similarly  titled  measures of other REITs,  does
not represent  cash  generated  from  operating  activities  in accordance  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles and is not necessarily  indicative of
cash  available  to fund cash needs.

ITEM 7 AND 7A.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATION/MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE.

The following  discussion is based on the consolidated  financial  statements of
the  company  as of  December  31,  1998.  This  information  should  be read in
conjunction  with the selected  financial  data and the  company's  consolidated
financial  statements  included  elsewhere in this annual report. The company is
operated and has elected to be treated as a real estate  investment trust (REIT)
for federal income tax purposes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO DECEMBER 31, 1997

INCOME AND OCCUPANCY
The results of the company's property operations for the year ended December 31,
1998 include the results of operations from the pre-1998  acquisitions  and from
the 16 properties acquired in 1998 from their respective  acquisition dates. The
increased  rental income and operating  expenses for the year ended December 31,
1998, over the year ended December 31, 1997, are primarily due to a full year of
operation in 1998 of the 1997 acquisitions as well as the incremental  effect of
the 1998 acquisitions.

The  principal  source of the company's  revenue is the rental  operation of its
apartment communities.  Rental income increased 156% in 1998 to $30,764,904 from
$12,005,968  in 1997 due to the above  factors.  Rental  income is  expected  to
increase  from the  impact of planned  improvements,  which are being made in an
effort to improve the properties' marketability, economic occupancies and rental
rates.

Overall average economic occupancy was 92% in 1998 and 93% in 1997. Rental rates
for the  portfolio  increased  5% to $585 on  December  31,  1998,  from $555 on
December 31, 1997. The increase is due to a combination of rental  increases and
the acquisition of properties with higher average rental rates.

EXPENSES
Total property expenses increased 161% to $21,585,665 in 1998 from $8,271,066 in
1997. The operating  expense ratio (the ratio of operating  expenses,  excluding
depreciation,  amortization and general and administrative  expenses,  to rental
income) decreased to 49% in 1998 from 50% in 1997. The decrease is primarily due
to a full year of operation of the 1997 acquisitions and increased  efficiencies
associated  with  economies  of  scale.  The  company   contracts  its  property
management to a third party (see Note 6 to consolidated financial statements).

General and administrative expenses totaled 2.6% of revenues in 1998 and 2.9% in
1997.  These expenses  represent the  administrative  expenses of the company as
distinguished from the operations of the company's properties. The percentage of
general and  administrative  expenses  is  expected  to further  decrease as the
company's operations grow.

Depreciation  of real estate  increased to $5,788,476 in 1998 from $1,898,003 in
1997, and is directly  attributable to the acquisition of apartment  communities
in 1998 and a full year of depreciation of properties acquired in 1997.

INTEREST AND INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSE
The company  earned  interest  income of $1,638,544 in 1998 and $222,676 in 1997
from the  investment of its cash and cash  reserves.  The increase is due to the
company's investment balance held in liquid money market investments pending use
for  acquisitions.  The  weighted-average  interest  rate  earned on  short-term
investments  was 4.5% in 1998  and 4% in 1997.  The  company  incurred  interest
expense of  $737,875 in 1998  related to the  assumption  of mortgage  loans and
$458,384 in 1997 associated with short-term borrowings under its line of credit.
These  amounts  include the  amortization  of loan costs.  The weighted  average
interest rate on 1998 mortgage notes payable was 6.5%, and on the line of credit
during 1997 was 7.8%.

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO DECEMBER 31, 1996

INCOME AND OCCUPANCY
As  operations  of the company  commenced in January  1997, a comparison  of the
years ended December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1997 is not possible. The results
of the  company's  property  operations  for the year ended  December  31, 1997,
include the results of operations  from the 11 properties  acquired in 1997 from
their respective  acquisition dates.  Substantially all of the company's revenue
is from the rental  operation of its  apartment  communities.  Rental income was
$12,005,968 in 1997.

Overall  average  economic  occupancy  was 93% in  1997.  Rental  rates  for the
portfolio were $555 at December 31, 1997.

EXPENSES
Total property expenses were $8,271,066 in 1997. The operating expense ratio was
50% in 1997. The company contracts its property management to a third party (see
Note  6  to  consolidated  financial  statements).  General  and  administrative
expenses  totaled  2.9% of  revenues  in 1997.  Depreciation  of real estate was
$1,898,003.

INTEREST AND INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSE
The company  earned  interest  income of $222,676 in 1997 from the investment of
its cash and cash  reserves.  The  weighted  average  interest  rate  earned  on
short-term investments was 4%. The company incurred $458,384 of interest expense
in 1997,  associated with short-term borrowings under its line of credit to fund
acquisitions.  The weighted  average  interest rate on the line of credit during
1997 was 7.8%.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

EQUITY
There was a significant change in the company's  liquidity during the year ended
December 31, 1998, as the company  continued to grow.  During 1998,  the company
sold 15,959,445 shares of its common stock to its investors  (including  790,863
common shares sold through the company's additional share option),  bringing the
total number of shares  outstanding  to  28,331,274.  The total gross  proceeds,
since the start of its "best  efforts"  offering  in 1997,  from the shares sold
were $281,228,144, which netted $251,890,553 to the company after the payment of
underwriter fees and other offering-related costs.

Using proceeds from the sale of common shares of $142,800,094  and assumption of
mortgage loans of $24,159,019,  the company acquired 3,828 apartment units in 16
residential rental communities during 1998. These acquisitions brought the total
number of residential  rental  communities to 25 and the total  apartment  units
owned at year-end to 6,604.  During  1998,  the company  made the  following  16
acquisitions:

</TABLE>


NOTES PAYABLE
During  July 1998,  the  company  assumed  $24.2  million in  mortgage  loans in
connection  with the acquisition of five  properties.  The total of the mortgage
loans at December  31,  1998,  including  $1.2  million in premiums  relating to
valuing debt at fair value, was  approximately  $25.2 million (see Note 3 to the
consolidated financial statements).

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents  totaled  $40,073,198 at December 31, 1998. During the
year,  the  company  distributed  $13,040,936  to  its  shareholders,  of  which
$7,908,627 was reinvested in additional  shares under the terms of the company's
additional  share option.  The  reinvested  funds netted the company  $7,117,767
after payment of underwriter fees.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The company has an ongoing capital commitment to fund its renovation program for
acquired properties.  In addition, the company expects to acquire new properties
during the year. The company  anticipates that it will continue to operate as it
did in 1998 and fund  these cash  needs  from a variety  of  sources,  including
equity, cash reserves, and assumption of mortgage loans.

The company  continues  to renovate its  properties.  In  connection  with these
renovations,  the company  capitalized  improvements  of $12 million in 1998. At
least $6 million of additional capital improvements are budgeted for 1999 on the
existing  property  portfolio,  which are  expected  to be funded  through  cash
reserves and dividend reinvestment.

The company has short-term  cash flow needs in order to conduct the operation of
its properties.  The rental income generated from the properties  supplies ample
cash to provide for the payment of these  operating  expenses and the payment of
distributions to shareholders.

The company is operated  as, and  annually  elects to be taxed as, a real estate
investment trust under the Internal  Revenue Code. As a result,  the company has
no provision  for taxes and thus there is no effect on the  company's  liquidity
from a provision for taxes.

Capital  resources  are  expected to grow with the future sale of its shares and
from cash flow from  operations.  Approximately  55% of all 1998  distributions,
totaling  a net amount of  $7,117,767,  were  reinvested  in  additional  common
shares. In general,  the company's  liquidity and capital resources are believed
to be more than adequate to meet its cash requirements during 1999.



                                       11
<PAGE>


The company is expecting to continue with  significant  growth during 1999.  The
company  plans to have monthly  equity  closings in 1999,  until the offering is
fully funded or until such time as the company may opt to discontinue  it. It is
anticipated  that the equity  funds will be  invested  in  additional  apartment
communities. Since year-end 1998, the company purchased two additional apartment
properties using cash and an assumption of a mortgage loan totaling $15,167,000.
The company is continuously evaluating other potential acquisitions; however, no
acquisitions are considered probable at this time.

In 1997, the company  granted  Cornerstone a continuing  right to purchase up to
9.8%  of the  common  shares  of  Apple  at the  market  price,  net of  selling
commissions. Cornerstone owned 417,778 common shares of the company at a cost of
$3.76 million which represents approximately 1.5% of the company's common shares
outstanding at December 31, 1998. The company also granted  Cornerstone a "first
right of refusal" to purchase the  properties or business of Apple.  Cornerstone
has stated in its public filings its intent to make periodic  evaluations on the
feasibility of purchasing the company. Cornerstone and Apple have hired external
financial advisors and formed separate independent  committees of the respective
boards of directors to consider a potential merger.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000
The year 2000 issue is the result of computer  programs  being written using two
digits  rather than four to define the  applicable  year.  Any of the  company's
computer  programs or  hardware  that have  date-sensitive  software or embedded
chips may  recognize  a date  using "00" as the year 1900  rather  than the year
2000.  This  could  result  in  a  system  failure  or  miscalculations  causing
disruptions of operations,  including, among other things, a temporary inability
to process  transactions,  send invoices,  or engage in similar normal  business
activities.

The company's  accounting,  property  management,  human resources,  and payroll
services and computer systems are provided by an outside management company. The
managing  company states the  applications are classified as year 2000 compliant
by their  respective  software  vendors once upgraded.  The managing  company is
actively engaged in upgrading the computer systems.

The  company  is also  exposed  to the risk that one or more of its  vendors  or
service providers could experience year 2000 problems that impact the ability of
such vendor or service  provider to provide goods and  services.  Though this is
not considered as significant a risk with respect to the suppliers of goods, due
to  the  availability  of  alternative  suppliers,  the  disruption  of  certain
services, such as utilities, could, depending upon the extent of the disruption,
have a material adverse impact on the company's operations. To date, the company
is not aware of any vendor or service  provider year 2000 issue that  management
believes  would  have a material  adverse  impact on the  company's  operations.
However,  the  company  has no means of  ensuring  that its  vendors  or service
providers will be year 2000-ready. The inability of vendors or service providers
to complete their year 2000 resolution process in a timely fashion could have an
adverse  impact on the  company.  The  effect on  non-compliance  by  vendors or
service providers is not determinable at this time.

The company  utilizes  microprocessors  which are imbedded in systems  which are
part of the company's operations. In particular, year 2000 problems in the HVAC,
elevator,  telephone,  security,  or other such systems at the properties  could
disrupt  operations  at  the  affected  properties.  The  company  completed  an
assessment  of these systems in 1998 and has an ongoing plan to make all systems
compliant.  At this point,  based on the status of its  assessment,  the company
does not believe material systems will be non-compliant.  Additionally,  many of
these  systems,  which  operate  automatically,  can be  operated  manually  and
consequently in the event these systems  experience a failure as a result of the
year 2000 problem,  the disruption caused by such failure should not be material
to the company's operations.

Failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an  interruption
in, or a failure of,  certain  normal  business  activities or  operations.  The
company  believes  that,  with the  implementation  of new or upgraded  business
systems and completion of the year 2000 project as scheduled, the possibility of
significant  interruptions  of normal  operations  due to the  failure  of those
systems will be reduced.  However,  the company is also dependent upon the power
and  telecommunications  infrastructure  within  the  United  States.  The  most
reasonable likely  worst-case  scenario would be that the company may experience
disruption in its operations if any of these  third-party  suppliers  reported a
system  failure.  Although the company's year 2000 project will reduce the level
of uncertainty  about the  compliance and readiness of its material  third-party
providers,  due to the general  uncertainty  over year 2000  readiness  of these
third-party  suppliers,  the company is unable to determine at this time whether
the consequences of year 2000 failures will have a material impact.

There should be no additional  cost to the company for the software and computer
hardware upgrades.  The software upgrades are included in the annual maintenance
fee paid by the  managing  company to the  vendors,  and the  computer  hardware
upgrades are included in the ordinary course of business  regardless of the year
2000 issue.

The  company has  contingency  plans for certain  critical  applications.  These
contingency  plans  involve,   among  other  actions,   manual  workarounds  and
contracting with vendors capable of providing services.

MARKET RISK DISCLOSURE
Substantially  all of the  company's  market  risk is  exposure  to  changes  in
mortgage  interest rates related to the recent  assumption of 



                                       12

<PAGE>

mortgage loans and interest  rates on short-term  investments.  The  contractual
weighted  average  interest  rates of the  assumed  debt was 7.56%.  The company
marked this debt to market using  interest rates  available on similar  mortgage
loans at the time of  assumption,  resulting  in effective  interest  expense of
6.5%. The company invests  proceeds from its best efforts offering in short-term
money market  investments  pending  acquisitions.  The company intends to invest
this money in real estate  assets as suitable  opportunities  arise and does not
anticipate maintaining as high a level of cash as it did during 1998.

If interest rates on short-term investments were to decrease by 100 basis points
in 1999 from what they were in 1998, net income would decrease by  approximately
$350,000,  assuming the same level of cash investment (see discussion above). It
is  anticipated  that the impact on net income  from a reduction  in  short-term
rates would not be as great as indicated above, as the invested cash amounts are
expected to decrease upon investment in real estate assets in 1999. In the event
of a change of such magnitude,  management  would likely take actions to further
mitigate  its exposure to the change.  However,  due to the  uncertainty  of the
specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity
analysis assumes no changes in the company's financial structure.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
The company does not believe that  inflation had any  significant  impact on the
operation of the company in 1998. Future  inflation,  if any, would likely cause
increased  operating  expenses,  but the  company  believes  that  increases  in
expenses  would be more than offset by increases in rental  revenues.  Continued
inflation may also cause capital  appreciation of the company's  properties over
time, as rental rates and replacement costs increase.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1
GENERAL INFORMATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS
Apple  Residential  Income Trust,  Inc.,  together with its  subsidiaries  Apple
Limited, Inc., and Apple General,  Inc., and seven subsidiary  partnerships (the
"company"),  is an  externally  advised real estate  investment  trust formed on
August 7, 1996, as a Virginia  corporation.  The company operates in one defined
business segment as an  owner-operator of residential  apartment  communities in
Texas.  The majority of the company's  apartment  communities are located in the
Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas metropolitan area. All operations  commenced in January
1997 and, therefore, no statements of operations or cash flows are presented for
periods  prior  to  January  1997.  The  accompanying   consolidated   financial
statements  include the accounts of Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. and its
subsidiaries.  All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

SUMMARY OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
As  of  January  1,  1998,  the  company  adopted   Statement  130,   "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." Statement 130 establishes new rules for the reporting and
display of  comprehensive  income and its components;  however,  the adoption of
this  Statement  had no  impact on the  company's  net  income or  shareholders'
equity.  The company does not currently have any items of  comprehensive  income
requiring separate reporting and disclosure.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash  equivalents  include highly liquid money market  investments with original
maturities  of three  months  or less.  The fair  market  value of cash and cash
equivalents  approximate  their carrying value.  Cash equivalents of $36,220,000
and  $22,556,000  were invested  with First Union  National Bank at December 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively.

INVESTMENT IN RENTAL PROPERTY
The  investment  in rental  property is recorded at cost,  net of  depreciation,
which  includes real estate  brokerage  commissions  paid to Apple Realty Group,
Inc.,  Cornerstone Realty Income Trust,  Inc., and Apple Residential  Management
Group Inc. (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements).

The company records  impairment losses on rental property used in the operations
if  indicators  of  impairment  are  present  and the  undiscounted  cash  flows
estimated  to be  generated  by the  respective  properties  are less than their
carrying amount.  Impairment  losses are measured as the difference  between the
asset's  fair value and its  carrying  value.  No  impairment  losses  have been
recorded to date.

Repairs and  maintenance  costs are  expensed  as  incurred,  while  significant
improvements,  renovations,  and replacements  are capitalized.  Depreciation is
computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related
assets which are 27.5 years for  buildings  and major  improvements  and a range
from five to 10 years for furniture and fixtures.

INCOME RECOGNITION
Rental,  interest,  and other  income  are  recorded  on an accrual  basis.  The
company's  properties are leased under operating  leases that,  typically,  have
terms that do not exceed one year.

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Deferred  financing  costs  are  amortized  over the term of the  related  debt.
Amortization of deferred  financing  costs is classified as interest  expense in
the consolidated statements of operations.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
The company has elected to follow  Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting   for  Stock   Issued  to   Employees"   ("APB   25")  and   related
Interpretations  in accounting for its employee  stock options.  As discussed in
Note 5, the alternative fair value accounting  provided for under FASB Statement
No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FASB 123"), requires use of
option  valuation  models that were developed for use in valuing  employee stock
options.  Under APB 25,  because the exercise  price of the  company's  employee
stock  options  equals the market price of the  underlying  stock on the date of
grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

ADVERTISING COSTS
Costs incurred for the production and  distribution  of advertising are expensed
as incurred.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted  earnings per common share are  calculated in accordance  with
FASB  Statement  128,  "Earnings Per Share." Basic  earnings per common share is
computed based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
year.  Diluted  earnings per common share is calculated  after giving effect for
all potential common shares that were 



                                       18
<PAGE>

outstanding for the year.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
The company is operated  as, and  annually  elects to be taxed as, a real estate
investment  trust  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as amended  (the
"Code").  Generally,  a real estate  investment  trust,  which complies with the
provisions of the Code and distributes at least 95% of its taxable income to its
shareholders,  does not pay  federal  income  taxes on its  distributed  income.
Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes.

For income tax purposes,  distributions paid to shareholders consist of ordinary
income and return of capital or a combination  thereof.  Distributions per share
were $.82 and $.60 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In 1998 and 1997, the total distribution was taxable as ordinary income.

USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial  statements in accordance  with generally  accepted
accounting   principles  requires  management  to  make  certain  estimates  and
assumptions  that  affect  amounts  reported  in the  financial  statements  and
accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

NOTE 3
NOTES PAYABLE
In connection with the acquisitions of five properties in July 1998, the company
assumed  five  mortgage  notes with a  principal  amount of  $24,159,019.  These
mortgage  notes  were  recorded  at a fair value of  $25,418,421  at the date of
assumption. The difference between the fair value and principal balance is being
amortized as an adjustment to interest  expense over the term of the  respective
notes.  At December 31,  1998,  the balance of the  mortgage  notes  payable was
$25,165,861.  Mortgage notes payable are due in monthly installments,  including
principal  and  interest.  Prepayment  penalties  apply for  early  retirements.
Scheduled  maturities  are at various dates through  December 2005. The weighted
average  contractual  interest rate on the mortgage  notes was 7.56% at December
31, 1998, and the effective  weighted average rate was 6.5% including the effect
of the fair value adjustment.  Interest paid by the company in 1998 was $910,689
relating to the mortgage loans.

The aggregate maturities of mortgage notes payable for the five years subsequent
to December 31, 1998 were as follows:
                       Year           Amount

                                 $25,165,861
During 1997,  the company  entered into an agreement  with a commercial  bank to
obtain an  unsecured  revolving  line of credit  not to exceed  $20  million  to
facilitate in the timely acquisition of properties. The unsecured line of credit
expired on March 31, 1998 and was not amended to extend the maturity  date.  The
company  paid  interest of $312,466 in 1997  relating to the  unsecured  line of
credit. The weighted average interest rate incurred under the line of credit was
7.8% in 1997.

No interest was capitalized in 1998 or 1997.


NOTE 4
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
During 1998, the company  completed its initial "best efforts"  offering of $250
million and extended the  offering  for an  additional  $50 million of which $28
million  was raised as of  December  31,  1998.  The  company is raising  equity
capital  through  the  "best  efforts"   offering  of  shares  by  David  Lerner
Associates, Inc. (the "Managing Dealer"), which receives selling commissions and
a marketing  expense allowance based on proceeds of the shares sold. The company
received  gross  proceeds  of  $159,594,450  and  $121,633,733  from the sale of
15,959,445 and 12,371,819 shares, including shares sold through the reinvestment
of distributions,  for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The  Managing  Dealer  received  selling  commissions  and a  marketing  expense
allowance equal to 7.5% and 2.5%, respectively,  of the gross proceeds of shares
sold. During 1998 and 1997, the underwriter  earned $15,959,445 and $11,787,399,
respectively.  The  net  proceeds  of  the  offering,  after  deducting  selling
commissions and other offering expenses,  were $142,800,094 and $109,090,359 for
1998 and 1997,  respectively.  These totals include 417,778 shares  purchased by
Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc.  ("Cornerstone")  in 1997 for $3,760,000
outside of the public "best efforts" offering.  Cornerstone owned  approximately
1.5% of the company's outstanding shares on December 31, 1998 (see Note 6 to the
consolidated financial statements).

On November 14, 1996, the company  issued 200,000 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 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 



                                       20
<PAGE>

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             Number of
         Raised from                Common Shares
         Sales of Common            through Conversion
         Shares through             of One Class B
         Date of Conversion         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 for the  difference  between the market value of the
company's stock and par value of the Class B Convertible Shares in the statement
of  operations  based  on the full  convertibility  of the  Class B  Convertible
Shares.

The company provides a plan which allows shareholders to reinvest  distributions
in the purchase of additional  shares of the company  ("Additional  Share Option
Plan").  Of the total proceeds  raised from common shares during the years ended
December  31,  1998 and  1997,  $7,908,627  (net  proceeds  of  $7,117,767)  and
$1,974,949 (net proceeds of $1,777,454), respectively, were provided through the
reinvestment of distributions.


NOTE 5
BENEFIT PLANS
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS
Under the 1997 Incentive Plan, as amended,  a maximum of 1,242,735 options could
be granted, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to certain officers and
key employees of the company. Under the Directors Plan, as amended, a maximum of
517,443 options could be granted to the independent directors of the company.

In 1998,  the  company  granted  11,376  options to  purchase  shares  under the
Directors Plan and no options under the Incentive Plan.

On September 17, 1998,  the company's  board of directors  approved the grant to
Glade M. Knight of options to purchase  common  shares (the "Award  Agreement").
This grant was made apart from the Incentive Plan. The Award Agreement  provides
Mr. Knight options to purchase 355,111 common shares (the "Award Options").  The
Award  Options vest in five equal  parts,  if, as, and when there is sold in the
company's  "best efforts"  additional $50 million  offering of $10 million,  $20
million, $30 million,  $40 million, and $50 million,  respectively (each a break
point),  in shares. If the offering is terminated at any point other than one of
the break points,  a pro rata portion of the Award Options will vest at the time
of  termination.  Under the terms of the Award  Agreement,  142,045  options  to
purchase shares were vested at December 31, 1998.

Under the Award  Agreement,  the exercise price of the Award Options will be $10
per common  share  acquired,  which is equal to the selling  price of the common
shares under the "best efforts" offering. However, if a triggering event occurs,
the exercise  price will be $1.00 per common share for the following 180 days. A
triggering  event means the  occurrence of either of the following  events:  (1)
substantially  all of the  company's  assets,  stock,  or  business  is  sold or
otherwise  transferred;  or (2) the Advisory  Agreement  between the company and
Apple Residential  Advisors,  Inc. ("ARA") is terminated or not renewed, and the
company  ceases to use Apple  Residential  Management  Group,  Inc.  ("ARMG") to
provide substantially all of its property management services.

If a triggering event occurs,  and the holder of the Award Options either elects
not to, or fails to,  exercise any exercisable  Award Options,  then the company
will pay to the holder the  difference  between the exercise price and the value
of the common  shares that would be obtained upon  exercise.  If the exercise or
the  receipt  of  payment  in lieu of such  exercise  subjects  the holder to an
additional  penalty tax under the Internal Revenue Code, the company will pay to
the holder an additional amount to offset the penalty tax.

Both the Incentive Plan and the Directors Plan of the company generally provide,
among other  things,  that options be granted at exercise  prices not lower than
the market value of the shares on the date of grant.  At the  earliest,  options
become  exercisable  at the date of grant.  The optionee has up to 10 years from
the date on which the options first become  exercisable during which to exercise
the options. Activity in the company's share option plans during the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997 is summarized in the following table:

WEIGHTED AVERAGE FAIR VALUE OF
OPTIONS GRANTED DURING THE YEAR                  $.40                    $.83

</TABLE>



Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
FASB 123,  under the fair value  method  described in that  statement.  The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following  weighted-average  assumptions  for 1998
and 1997,  respectively:  risk-free interest rates of 5.5% for 1998 and 6.7% for
1997; a dividend yield of 9.0% for 1998 and 7.0% for 1997; volatility factors of
the  expected  market price of the  company's  common stock of .160 for 1998 and
 .161 for 1997; and a weighted average expected life of the options of five years
for 1998 and 10 years for 1997.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded  options which have no vesting  restrictions  and are fully
transferable.  In addition,  option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility.

Because the company's employee stock options have characteristics  significantly
different from those of traded  options,  and because  changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion,  the  existing  models do not  necessarily  provide a  reliable  single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

For purposes of FASB 123 pro forma disclosures,  the estimated fair value of the
options is  amortized  to expense over the  options'  vesting  period.  The full
impact is included in the pro forma amounts disclosed below.

401(K) SAVINGS PLAN
Eligible employees of the company participate in a contributory employee savings
plan. Under the plan, the company may match a percentage of  contributions  made
by  eligible  employees,  such  percentage  to apply to a maximum of 1% of their
annual salary. Expenses under this plan for 1998 were $11,190.


NOTE  6  RELATED-PARTY  TRANSACTIONS  
The  company  had  contracted  with Apple  Residential  Management  Group,  Inc.
("ARMG") to manage the acquired  properties;  Apple Residential  Advisors,  Inc.
("ARA") to advise and provide the company with day-to-day  management  services;
and Apple Realty  Group,  Inc.  ("the  Cornerstone  affiliates")  to acquire and
dispose of real estate assets held by the company.  ARMG,  ARA, and Apple Realty
Group,  Inc. were initially owned by Glade M. Knight.  Mr. Knight also serves as
chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the company and Cornerstone
Realty Income Trust, Inc. Before the transaction  described below,  during 1997,
the  company  paid  ARMG a  management  fee equal to 5% of  rental  income  plus
reimbursement of certain expenses in the amount of $52,375. The company paid ARA
a fee equal to .25% of total contributions received by the company in the amount
of  $14,894.  The  company  paid  Apple  Realty  Group,  Inc. a fee of 2% of the
purchase price of the acquired properties in the amount of $624,382.

During  1997,  with  the  approval  of the  company,  Cornerstone  entered  into
subcontract  agreements with ARMG and ARA, whereby Cornerstone agreed to provide
advisory  and property  management  services to the company in exchange for fees
and expense  reimbursement  on the same terms described  above.  During 1998 and
1997, the company paid Cornerstone or the Cornerstone  affiliates $2,220,593 and
$822,497, respectively, in management and advisory fees.

During  1997,  with the consent of the  company,  Cornerstone  acquired  all the
assets of Apple  Realty  Group,  Inc.  The sole  material  asset of Apple Realty
Group,  Inc.  was  the  acquisition/disposition   agreement  with  the  company.
Cornerstone paid $350,000 in cash and issued 150,000 common shares (valued at an
aggregate of  $1,650,000)  to Glade M. Knight in exchange for the  assignment of
the rights to the acquisition/disposition  agreement.  Cornerstone was entitled,
under the terms of the asset/disposition  agreement, to a real estate 


                                       22

<PAGE>

commission  equal to 2% of the gross purchase price of the company's  properties
plus  reimbursement  of  certain  expenses.  During  1998 and 1997,  Apple  paid
Cornerstone  $2,665,100 and $1,031,066,  respectively,  for acquisition services
under the agreement.

Cornerstone  owns  417,778  shares of the  company's  common  stock  which  were
purchased during 1997 for $3,760,000, which represents approximately 1.5% of the
total common shares of the company outstanding on December 31, 1998. The company
granted  Cornerstone  a  continuing  right to  acquire  up to 9.8% of the common
shares of the company at market price, net of selling  commissions.  The company
paid Cornerstone distributions of $340,483 in 1998 and $253,172 in 1997.

The company also has granted  Cornerstone a "first right of refusal" to purchase
the property or business of Apple.  Cornerstone has stated in its public filings
its intent to make periodic  evaluations  on the  feasibility  of purchasing the
company.  The company and  Cornerstone  have hired  external  advisors  and have
formed separate, independent committees of the respective boards of directors to
consider a potential merger.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In  January  1999,  the  company   declared  and  paid  cash   distributions  to
shareholders of $5,349,330, of which $3,147,377 was reinvested 



                                       23

in the Additional Share Option. The company also closed the sale to investors of
627,164  shares at $10 per share  representing  net  proceeds  to the company of
$5,644,475  after payment of  underwriter  fees.  In January  1999,  the company
purchased Sierra Ridge Apartments in San Antonio,  Texas. The 230-unit apartment
community was purchased for  $5,817,000 in cash. In February  1999,  the company
purchased Grayson Square Apartments in Grapevine,  Texas. The 200-unit apartment
community was purchased for $9,350,000, consisting of $2,357,215 in cash and the
assumption of a $6,992,785 mortgage loan.

The following  unaudited pro forma  information for the years ended December 31,
1998  and 1997 is  presented  as if (a) the  company  had  qualified  as a REIT,
distributed all of its taxable income and, therefore, incurred no federal income
tax expense  during the period;  and (b) the company had used  proceeds from its
best efforts offering or assumed  mortgages to acquire the properties  purchased
during 1998 and 1997.  The pro forma  information  does not purport to represent
what the company's  results of operations would have been if such  transactions,
in fact,  had occurred on January 1, 1997,  nor does it purport to represent the

                                November 9, 1998



Glade M. Knight
306 East Main Street
Richmond, Virginia  23219


Dear Mr. Knight:

      You have  been  designated  to  receive  a  nonstatutory  stock  option to
purchase shares of the common stock of Apple Residential Income Trust, Inc. (the
"Company") on the terms set forth in this letter. A nonstatutory stock option is
an option that does not receive special tax treatment under the Internal Revenue
Code.

      This letter constitutes an option agreement (the "Agreement")  between you
and the Company. The Compensation  Committee of the Company's Board of Directors
shall  administer this  Agreement.  The terms and conditions of the option award
are as follows:

      1. Nonstatutory  Option.  In consideration of your agreement  contained in
this  letter,  the  Company  hereby  grants to you a  nonstatutory  option  (the
"Option") to purchase  from the Company up to 355,111  shares of common stock of
the Company ("Company Stock") at a price of $10 per share (the "Option Price").

      2.  Option  Vesting.  The Option  shall vest and become  exercisable  with
respect to the number of shares of Company Stock  determined in accordance  with
the following formula (your "Vested Shares"):

                (A (divided by) B) x C = number of Vested Shares



<PAGE>

      where "A" is the total  number of  shares  of  Company  Stock  sold to the
public  (pursuant to the  Company's  Prospectus  dated October 16, 1998, as that
Prospectus may be  supplemented  from time to time) in the Additional  Offering,
"B" is Five  Million,  and "C" is  355,111  shares of Company  Stock;  provided,
however, that the Option shall be deemed to vest in five equal parts, if, as and
when there is sold to the public in the  Additional  Offering one  million,  two
million,  three million,  four million and five million shares of Company Stock,
and the Option shall vest with respect to shares not corresponding to one of the
aforementioned  break-points  only  if  and  when  the  Additional  Offering  is
terminated  before  completion.  The value  represented by "A" shall include any
Company  Stock  sold up to nine (9) months  following  the  commencement  of the
Additional Offering;  any sale of Company Stock occurring after nine months from
such date shall not be used in the above calculation. For example, if 20 million
shares of Company  Stock are sold  during  the  Company's  Additional  Offering,
142,044 shares of Company Stock covered by the Option will become Vested Shares.
The Option may only be exercised with respect to your Vested Shares.  The number
of Vested Shares  determined  pursuant to the foregoing formula shall not exceed
355,111 shares. For purposes of this agreement, "Additional Offering" shall mean
the  Company's  offering  of  Company  Stock to the  general  public  through  a
registration  statement  filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission and
effective as of October 16, 1998.

      3.  Expiration  of the Option.  The Option will expire ten (10) years from
the Date of Grant (the "Expiration Date").

      4. Entitlement to Exercise the Option.  The grant of the Option is subject
to the following terms and conditions:

            (a) Except as otherwise stated in this Agreement,  the Option may be
      exercised,  in whole or in part and to the extent vested, from the Date of
      Grant until the  earliest of (i) the  Expiration  Date,  (ii) 60 days from
      your  retirement or termination of your status as an executive  officer of
      the Company for reasons other than death or disability,  or (iii) 180 days
      from the date you  terminate  your status as an  executive  officer of the
      Company by reason of death or disability. The Committee shall, in its sole
      discretion, determine whether the executive officer is disabled.


<PAGE>


            (b) Except as otherwise stated in this paragraph,  the Option may be
      exercised only while you are an executive officer of the Company.

      5. Payment Under Option.  You may exercise the Option, in whole or in part
and to the  extent  vested,  but only with  respect  to whole  shares of Company
Stock.  You may pay the Option price in cash, in Mature Shares of Company Stock,
or in any combination thereof.  For purposes of this Agreement,  "Mature Shares"
shall mean shares of Company Stock for which the holder has good title, free and
clear of all liens and  encumbrances  and which such holder  either (i) has held
for at least  six  months,  or (ii) has  purchased  on the open  market.  If you
deliver  Mature  Shares of Company  Stock to make any such  payment,  the shares
shall be valued at the Fair Market  Value  thereof on the date you  exercise the
Option.  For purposes of this agreement,  "Fair Market Value" shall mean, on any
given  date,  (i) if the  Company  Stock is traded on an  exchange,  the closing
registered sales price of the Company Stock on such day on the exchange on which
it  generally  has the greatest  trading  volume,  (ii) if the Company  Stock is
traded in the  over-the-counter  market, the average between the closing bid and
asked prices on such day as reported by NASDAQ, or (iii) if the Company Stock is
not traded on any exchange or in the  over-the-counter  market,  the Fair Market
Value shall be determined by the Committee  using any reasonable  method in good
faith.

      6. Transferability of Option. The Option is not transferable by you (other
than  by will or by the  laws  of  descent  and  distribution)  and,  except  as
otherwise  stated in this letter,  may be exercised during your lifetime only by
you.  Notwithstanding  the  preceding,  you shall have the right to transfer the
rights under the Option granted in this Agreement  during your lifetime  subject
to the following limitations:

            (a) transfers may be made only to the following transferees: (i) the
      optionee's children, step-children,  grandchildren,  step-grandchildren or
      other  lineal  descendants  (including  relationships  arising  from legal
      adoptions)  (such  individuals are  hereinafter  referred to as "Immediate
      Family  Members");  (ii) trust(s) for the exclusive  benefit of any one or
      more of the optionee's Immediate Family Members (the optionee's spouse may
      also  be  a  beneficiary);  or  (iii)  partnership(s),  limited  liability
      compan(ies) or

<PAGE>

      other entit(ies),  the only partners, members or interest holders of which
      are among the optionee's  Immediate Family Members (the optionee's  spouse
      may also hold an interest);

            (b) there may be no consideration for the transfer;

            (c) there may be no subsequent  transfer of the  transferred  Option
      except by will or the laws of descent and distribution;

            (d) following  transfer,  the Option shall continue to be subject to
      the same terms and  conditions  as were  applicable  immediately  prior to
      transfer  (including the  conditions  under which the Option may terminate
      prior to its  expiration);  except  that the  transferee  rather  than the
      optionee  may  deliver  the  Option  exercise  notice  and  payment of the
      exercise price;

            (e) only the vested portion of the Option is transferable;

            (f) written  notice of any  transfer  must be delivered to the Chief
      Financial Officer of the Company; and

            (g)  the   optionee's   estate  may   transfer  the  Option  to  the
      beneficiaries  of such  estate,  subject to the  limitations  set forth in
      items (b) through (f) above.

      7.  Adjustments.  If the number of outstanding  shares of Company Stock is
increased or decreased as a result of: (i) a  subdivision  or  consolidation  of
shares,  (ii) the payment of a stock dividend,  (iii) a stock split, or (iv) any
other  change  in the  capitalization  that  is  effective  without  receipt  of
consideration  by the  Company,  the number of shares with  respect to which you
have an unexercised Option and the Option price shall be appropriately  adjusted
by the Company, whose determination shall be binding.

      8. Triggering Events. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary,
in the case of the  occurrence of a "Triggering  Event," as defined  below,  the
following provisions shall apply:

            (a) For  purposes of this  paragraph 8, a  "Triggering  Event" shall
      mean:

                  (i)  substantially  all  of the  Company's  assets,  stock  or
            business is sold or  transferred,  whether  through sale,  exchange,
            merger, consolidation, lease, share exchange or otherwise; or

                  (ii) the  Advisory  Agreement  between  the  Company and Apple
            Residential Advisors,  Inc. (whether or not subject to a subcontract
            arrangement) is terminated or not renewed, and the Company ceases to
            use Apple Residential Management Group, Inc. (whether or not subject
            to a subcontract  arrangement) to provide  substantially  all of its
            property management services.

            (b) Upon a Triggering  Event, the vested portion of the Option shall
      be  exercisable  at an exercise  price of $1.00 per share of Company Stock
      and remain  exercisable  for 180 days  following  the  occurrence  of such
      event.

            (c) If you elect in writing  not to exercise  the vested  portion of
      the Option or if you fail to  exercise  the  vested  portion of the Option
      within the 180 day period as  described  in  subparagraph  (b) above,  the
      Company  shall,  immediately  upon  receipt of such  written  election  or
      expiration of the 180 day period, pay you, in cash, the difference between
      the exercise  price ($1.00) and the Fair Market Value of the Company Stock
      that could be obtained upon  exercise of the vested  portion of the Option
      (or, as appropriate, the fair market value, as determined in good faith by
      the  Committee,  of  securities  received in exchange for or receivable in
      lieu of such Company  Stock in the context of an  acquisition  transaction
      that  constitutes  a  Triggering  Event  in which  Company  Stock is to be
      exchanged for or replaced by other securities).



<PAGE>


            (d) If the  exercise  of the  vested  portion  of the  Option or the
      receipt  of  payment  in  lieu  of such  exercise  (collectively,  "Option
      Income")  would subject you to an excise tax under  Internal  Revenue Code
      Sections  280G or  4999,  the  Company  shall  pay to  you,  in  cash,  an
      additional  amount equal to the sum of the excise tax due and the federal,

military hardware,  electronics,  automobiles,  industrial equipment,  oil-field
parts,   food   products   and   chemicals),    banking,   insurance   services,
communications,  oil and gas production and air transportation.  Major employers
in the area include Texas Instruments,  Southwestern Bell, General Motors,  J.C.
Penney, NationsBank and Vought Aircraft Company.

         The  Metroplex  is also an  established  transportation  center for the
nation.  The Dallas/Fort  Worth  International  Airport  occupies  approximately
17,800  acres of land  between  the two  cities.  It is the  largest  commercial
airport in the United  States in terms of land area,  and is the fourth  busiest
airport in the world, with 1,700 daily arrivals and departures.

         The area also has a well-established  system of interstate highways and
supporting  secondary routes. The Metroplex is located at the hub of Interstates
35,45,  20 and 30. Two outer loops,  Interstate 635 in Dallas and Interstate 820
in Fort Worth, surround the respective cities.

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the Advisor and the  Company to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow future increases in rents at the Property.

         3. The Property is strategically located in the Duncanville area, which
is one of the  most  commercially  active  areas  in the  Metroplex,  and  has a
well-respected school system.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information contained in this report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

         ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES.  In  consideration  of
services   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

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the Advisor and the  Company to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3. The Property is  strategically  located in the "Hulen  Mall/Benbrook
area," which is one of the most commercially  active areas in the Metroplex.  In
addition, the Company and the Advisor believe that the combination and operation
of the  Property  with  the  adjacent  Copper  Crossing  Apartments  will  offer
operational efficiencies and competitive advantages.

         ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES.  In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the  Property,  the Company will pay  Cornerstone  Realty Income

Property,  or $90,500.  Cornerstone  Realty  Income  Trust,  Inc.  will serve as
property  manager  for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the
Company  a monthly  management  fee  equal to 5% of the  gross  revenues  of the
Property plus reimbursement of certain expenses.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information contained in this report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

         The area also has a well-established  system of interstate highways and
supporting  secondary routes. The Metroplex is located at the hub of Interstates
35, 45, 20 and 30. Two outer loops,  Interstate 635 in Dallas and Interstate 820
in Fort Worth, surround the respective cities.

         The many  institutions of higher learning in the area include  Southern
Methodist University, the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Texas

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the Advisor and the  Company to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3. The  Property  has an  advantageous  location  -  convenient  to the
Dallas/Fort Worth International  Airport and downtown Dallas - and is located in
a   rapidly-growing   area   proximate  to  centers  of  employment  and  retail
development.

         ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES.  In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition of the Property,  the Company paid Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,
Inc. a property acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price


                                       4

of the property,  or $114,000.  Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. will serve
as property  manager for the Property  and for its services  will be paid by the
Company  a monthly  management  fee  equal to 5% of the  gross  revenues  of the
Property plus reimbursement of certain expenses.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information contained in this report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

         LOCATION.  The  Property is located on  Cottonwood  Club off of Pioneer
Parkway (Spur 303), a major  east/west  thoroughfare  in Arlington,  Texas.  The
Property  is  located  within  the  greater   Dallas/Forth   Worth  metropolitan
statistical area, or as it is called locally, "The Metroplex."

         The following information is based in part upon information provided by
the Dallas  Chamber of  Commerce.  The  Dallas/Fort  Worth  Metroplex  is in the
north-central  part  of  Texas  and is  composed  of  nine  counties.  The  1996
population of The Metroplex was approximately 4,400,000. The Dallas metropolitan
area is the second largest in the state, behind Houston.

         The economy of the Dallas/Fort  Worth area is complex and  diversified.
Key economic factors include a large  manufacturing  base (including as products
military hardware,  electronics,  automobiles,  industrial equipment,  oil-field
parts,   food   products   and   chemicals),    banking,   insurance   services,
communications,  oil and gas production and air transportation.  Major employers
in the area include Texas Instruments,  Southwestern Bell, General Motors,  J.C.
Penney, NationsBank and Vought Aircraft Company.

         The  Metroplex  is also an  established  transportation  center for the
nation.  The Dallas/Fort  Worth  International  Airport  occupies  approximately
17,600 acres of land between the two cities. It is the second largest commercial
airport in the United  States in terms of land area,  and is the second  busiest
airport in the world, with more than 2,500 daily arrivals and departures.

         The area also has a  well-established  system of interstate highway and
supporting  secondary routes. The Metroplex is located at the hub of Interstates
35, 45, 20 and 30. Two outer loops,  Interstate 635 in Dallas and Interstate 820
in Fort Worth, surround the respective cities.

         The many  institutions of higher learning in the area include  Southern
Methodist University, the University of Texas at Dallas, the University of Texas

         The apartments provide a total of approximately  150,200 square feet of
net rentable area.

         The  Company  believes  that  the  Property  has  generally  been  well
maintained  and  is  in  good  condition.  However,  the  Company  has  budgeted
approximately  $300,000 for repairs and capital  improvements to the Property to
include  clubhouse  renovations,  exterior  painting,  landscaping  and interior
upgrades.

          The  following  information was  provided  by  the  seller.   Physical
occupancy at the Property  averaged  approximately 92% in 1993, 94% in 1994, 95%
in 1995,  96% in 1996 and 96% in 1997.  Leases at the Property are generally for
terms of one year or less. Average rental rates


                                       2

for the past five years have generally increased.  As an example, a one-bedroom,
one- bathroom apartment (868 square feet) rented for $440 in 1993, $455 in 1994,
$455 in 1995, $465 in 1996 and $475 in 1997. The average effective annual rental
per square foot at the Property for 1993,  1994,  1995, 1996 and 1997 was $6.19,
$6.40, $6.40, $6.54, and $6.68, respectively.

          The  Property  has  an  outdoor  swimming pool  with a fountain  and a
clubhouse with a leasing office. The buildings are wood framed construction with
a  combination  of brick  veneer and wood siding on concrete  slab  foundations.
Roofs are pitched composition.

         Each apartment unit has wall-to-wall  carpeting in the living areas and
vinyl floors in the kitchen and bath. Each apartment unit has a cable television
hook-up and  individually  controlled  heating and  air-conditioning  unit. Each
kitchen has a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric  range and oven,  dishwasher  and
garbage  disposal.  All of the units include  ceiling fans,  french patio doors,
full size washer/dryer  connections,  fireplace,  a patio or balcony and outside
storage.  The owner of the Property pays for cold water, sewer charges, gas (for
hot water) and trash  removal.  The tenants pay for their  electricity  service,
which includes cooking, lighting, heating and air-conditioning.

          There are at least three  apartment  properties  that 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  at  nearby  competing  properties  averaged
approximately 97% on June 30, 1998.

         As of June 30, 1998, the Property was approximately  89% occupied.  The
tenants are primarily a mix of blue-collar and  white-collar  workers,  students
and retired persons.

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

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the  Company  to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the  Property  for
acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increase in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3. The Property has an advantageous  location - between Dallas and Fort
Worth, and near the Dallas/Fort Worth International  Airport - and is located in
a   rapidly-growing   area   proximate  to  centers  of  employment  and  retail
development.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information  contained in the report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

          ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES. In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the Property,  Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc.  earned a
property  acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the property,  or
$114,000.

         Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc. will serve as property  manager
for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the  Company a monthly
management  fee  equal  to 5%  of  the  gross  revenues  of  the  Property  plus
reimbursement of certain expenses.

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

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the  Company  to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the  Property  for
acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3.  The  Property  is  strategically  located  near the  Preston  Mall,
Galleria Mall and Valley View Mall, and is convenient to the  Dallas/Fort  Worth
International Airport.

         The company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information  contained in the report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

          ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES. In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the Property,  Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc.  earned a
property  acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the property,  or
$104,100.  At closing,  Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. was paid a portion
of the property  acquisition  fee  corresponding  to the portion of the purchase
price of the  property  paid in cash by the  Company.  The cash  portion  of the
purchase  price  was  approximately  $1,561,576,  and  2%  of  that  amount  was
approximately  $31,232. The balance of the property acquisition fee will be paid
if, when and as the  indebtedness  taken  subject to at closing is repaid by the
Company.

         Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc. will serve as property  manager
for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the  Company a monthly
management  fee  equal  to 5%  of  the  gross  revenues  of  the  Property  plus
reimbursement of certain expenses.

                                Grapevine, Texas

         On July 24,  1998,  Apple REIT II  Limited  Partnership  purchased  the
Emerald Oaks Apartments located at 2100 Grayson Drive, in Grapevine,  Texas (the
"Property").

         The Property  comprises 250 apartment units. The purchase price for the
Property was $10,930,000. The seller was Newemerald Texas, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership  which was not  affiliated  with the  Company,  the Advisor or their
affiliates.   The  purchase   price  was  paid  through  a  combination  of  (i)
approximately  $4,244,294 in cash using  proceeds from the sale of the Shares of
the Company and (ii) approximately  $6,685,706 by assumption of a mortgage loan.
Title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by special warranty deed.

         The Property was acquired with the assumption of a mortgage loan in the
original  principal  amount of $9,650,000  held by Fannie Mae. On July 24, 1998,
the outstanding  principal balance of the mortgage loan was  $6,685,706.08.  The
interest on the  mortgage  loan is 6.75% per annum;  amortization  is based on a
30-year  amortization  term; and  prepayments  are permitted under the following
circumstances:  after  May 1, 2001 to April  30,  2002 at 102% of the  principal
balance of the mortgage  loan,  from May 1,2002 to April 30, 2003 at 101% of the
principal balance,  and from May 1, 2003 and thereafter at 100% of the principal
balance.  The  maturity  date of the  mortgage  loan is April 1,  2007,  and the
balance  due at  maturity,  assuming no payment  has been made on  principal  in
advance of its due date, is $5,509,607.59.

         In connection with the original financing of the Property, the previous
owner of the Property agreed to certain  restrictions on the use of the Property
set forth in a special warranty deed and deed  restrictions.  In connection with
the purchase of the  Property  and the  assumption  of the  mortgage  loan,  the
Company  entered  into an  assumption  of the  special  warranty  deed  and deed
restrictions. Among the restrictions agreed to by the Company is at least 20% of
the apartment  units must be occupied by persons who, at the time of the initial
occupancy of the apartment units, are "low or moderate income tenants." The term
low or moderate income tenants is defined, generally, as one or more persons who
occupy an apartment unit whose aggregate  anticipated income does not exceed 80%
of the median income for the area where the Property is located.

         On July 24,  1998,  Apple REIT III Limited  Partnership  purchased  the
Hayden's Crossing  Apartments  located at 2802 South State Highway 360, in Grand
Prairie, Texas (the "Property").

          The Property comprises 170 apartment units. The purchase price for the
Property was $4,705,000. The seller was Hayden's Crossing, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership  which was not  affiliated  with the  Company,  the Advisor or their

approximately  $1,632,601 in cash using  proceeds from the sale of the Shares of
the Company and (ii) approximately  $3,072,399 by assumption of a mortgage loan.
Title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by special warranty deed.

          The Property was acquired  with the  assumption  of a mortgage loan in
the original principal amount of $5,550,00 held by Fannie Mae. On July 24, 1998,
the outstanding  principal  amount of the mortgage loan was  $3,072,399.07.  The

balance  due at  maturity,  assuming no payment  has been made on  principal  in

         In connection with the original financing of the Property, the previous
owner of the Property agreed to certain  restrictions on the use of the Property
set forth in a special warranty deed and deed  restrictions.  In connection with
the purchase of the  Property  and the  assumption  of the  mortgage  loan,  the
Company  entered  into an  assumption  of the  special  warranty  deed  and deed
restrictions.  Among the restrictions  agreed to by the Company is that at least
20% of the  apartment  units must be  occupied  by persons  who,  at the time of
initial  occupancy of the apartment units, are "low or moderate income tenants."
The term low or moderate  income tenants is defined,  generally,  as one or more
persons who occupy an apartment unit whose aggregate anticipated income does not
exceed 80% of the median income for the area where the Property is located.

</TABLE>

         All unit  types are  available  with a  fireplace  for an extra $10 per
month. The apartments  provide a total of  approximately  126,000 square feet of
net rentable area.

          The  Company  believes  that the  Property  has  generally  been  well
maintained  and  is  in  good  condition.  However,  the  Company  has  budgeted
approximately  $340,000 for repairs and capital  improvements to the Property to
include clubhouse  renovations,  exterior  painting,  wood replacement and a new
fitness center.

          The  following  information was  provided  by  the  seller.   Physical
occupancy at the Property  averaged  approximately 93% in 1993, 92% in 1994, 96%
in 1995,  96% in 1996 and 95% in 1997.  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 two-bedroom,  two-bathroom apartment (878
square feet) rented for $449 in 1993,  $474 in 1994,  $484 in 1995, $489 in 1996
and $509 in 1997.  The average  effective  annual  rental per square foot at the
Property for 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 was $6.54, $6.91, $7.05, $7.13, and
$7.42, respectively.

         The Property has an outdoor  swimming  pool, a jacuzzi,  a tennis court
and a  laundry  facility. The  Property  also has a  clubhouse  with a  kitchen,
entertainment area and leasing office.

         The buildings are wood framed  construction with a combination of brick
veneer and hardboard  ship-lap  siding on concrete slab  foundations.  Roofs are
pitched and covered with fiberglass shingled on plywood.

          Each apartment unit has wall-to-wall carpeting in the living areas and
vinyl floors in the kitchen and bath. Each apartment unit has a cable television
hook-up and  individually  controlled  heating and  air-conditioning  unit. Each
kitchen has a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric  range and oven,  dishwasher  and
garbage disposal. The largest one-bedroom and the largest two-bedroom units have
full-sized  washer/dryer  connections.  A total of 92 units have a  wood-burning
fireplace and each second-floor unit has vaulted ceilings. Each unit has walk-in
closets,  outside  storage,  a covered  balcony or patio,  and ceiling fans. The
owner of the Property pays for cold water,  sewer  charges,  gas (for hot water)
and trash removal. The tenants pay for their electricity service, which includes
cooking, lighting, heating and air-conditioning.

         There are at least eight  apartment  properties  that  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  at  nearby  competing  properties  averaged
approximately 95% on June 30, 1998.

         As of June 30, 1998, the Property was approximately  89% occupied.  The
tenants are primarily a mix of white-collar  and blue-collar  workers,  students
and retired persons.

         The following  table sets forth the 1997 real estate tax information on
the Property:

         JURISDICTION         ASSESSED VALUE      RATE           TAX

         The basis of the depreciable  residential  real property portion of the
Property  (approximately   $3,739,211  at  the  time  of  acquisition)  will  be

and improvements will be treated for tax purposes as permitted by the Code based
on 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.

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the  Company  to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the  Property  for
acquisition by the Company included the following:


                                       15


<PAGE>



         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increase in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3. The Property has an advantageous  location -  approximately  mid-way
between  Dallas  and Fort  Worth and near the  Dallas/Fort  Worth  International
Airport - and is located  in a rapidly-  growing  area  proximate  to centers of
employment  and retail  development.  In  addition,  the Company and the Advisor
believe that the  combination  and  operation of the Property  with the adjacent
Bitter Creek  Apartments  will offer  operational  efficiencies  and competitive
advantages.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information  contained in the report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

          ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES. In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the Property,  Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc.  earned a
property  acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the property,  or
$94,100. At closing, Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. was paid a portion of
the property  acquisition fee corresponding to the portion of the purchase price
of the property  paid in cash by the  Company.  The cash portion of the purchase
price was  approximately  $1,632,601,  and 2% of that  amount was  approximately
$32,652.  The balance of the property  acquisition fee will be paid if, when and
as the indebtedness taken subject to at closing is repaid by the Company.

         Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc. will serve as property  manager
for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the  Company a monthly
management  fee  equal  to 5%  of  the  gross  revenues  of  the  Property  plus
reimbursement of certain expenses.

         The Property  comprises 200 apartment units. The purchase price for the
Property was $6,330,000.  The seller was Newemerald Texas, Ltd., a Texas limited
partnership  which was not  affiliated  with the  Company,  the Advisor or their

approximately  $ 3,286,127 in cash using proceeds from the sale of the Shares of
the Company and (ii) approximately $ 3,043,873 by assumption of a mortgage loan.
Title to the Property was conveyed to the Company by special warranty deed.

          The Property was acquired  with the  assumption  of a mortgage loan in
the  original  principal  amount of  $6,275,000  held by Fannie Mae. On July 24,
1998, the outstanding  principal balance of the mortgage loan was $3,043,873.04.
The interest on the mortgage loan is 6.675% per annum;  amortization is based on
a 30-year  amortization  term; and prepayments are permitted under the following

balance of the mortgage loan,  from May 1, 2002 to April 30, 2003 at 101% of the
principal balance,  and from May 1, 2003 and thereafter at 100% of the principal
balance.  The maturity  date of the mortgage  loan is December 1, 2005,  and the
balance  due at  maturity,  assuming no payment  has been made on  principal  in
advance of its due date, is $2,614,373.31.

         In connection with the original financing of the Property, the previous
owner of the Property agreed to certain  restrictions on the use of the Property
set forth in a special warranty deed and deed  restrictions.  In connection with
the purchase of the  Property  and the  assumption  of the  mortgage  loan,  the
Company  entered  into an  assumption  of the  special  warranty  deed  and deed
restrictions.  Among the restrictions  agreed to by the Company is that at least
20% of the  apartment  units must be occupied by the persons who, at the time of
initial occupancy of the apartments units, are "low or moderate income tenants."
The term low or moderate  income tenants is defined,  generally,  as one or more
persons who occupy an apartment unit whose aggregate anticipated income does not
exceed 80% of the median income for the area where the Property is located.

          LOCATION.  The  Property is located on West  Rundberg  Lane in Austin,
Texas,  which is the capital of Texas.  The following  information  on Austin is
based in part on information provided by the greater Austin Chamber of Commerce.

         The economy of the greater  Austin  metropolitan  area is  diversified,
with key economic  factors  being the  semiconductor  and  computer  industries,
manufacturing,  real estate and higher  education.  The rapid development of the
semiconductor and computer industries has been accompanied by rapid developments
in  the  transportation,   finance,  insurance,   communications  and  utilities
capabilities of the area.

         The  Metropolitan  Statistical  Area that  includes  Austin  had a 1995
population  that  exceeded one million and is expected to have a  population  of
approximately  1.1  million by the end of 1998.  Much of the  recent  population
growth  in the area is due to  relocations  from  other  parts  of the  country,
although the  percentage of total  population  growth  represented  by relocated
persons is expected to decrease over the coming years.  Currently,  job gains in
the Austin metropolitan area are at approximately four percent per year.

         The immediate  neighborhood  surrounding the Property consists of other
multi-family and  single-family  housing and commercial and retail  development.
Newport  Apartments are located near The Colonade Mall and Northcross  Mall, and
are  an  approximately  20-minute  drive  from  an  IBM  facility  and  a  Texas
Instruments  facility.  This  property  is  within  a few  blocks  of a new Dell
Computer  facility and is a 15-minute  drive from the downtown  Austin  business
district.

         DESCRIPTION  OF THE  PROPERTY.  The Property  consists of 200 apartment
units in 15  buildings  on  approximately  10 acres of land.  The  Property  was
constructed in 1988.

net rentable area.

         The  Company  believes  that  the  Property  has  generally  been  well
maintained  and  is  in  good  condition.  However,  the  Company  has  budgeted
approximately  $400,000 for repairs and capital  improvements to the Property to
include  clubhouse  renovations,  exterior  painting and siding  replacement and

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

         MATERIAL  FACTORS  CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING  THE  PROPERTY.  The factors
considered  by the  Company  to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the  Property  for
acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The  Austin  area  generally  and the  specific  area in  which  the
Property  is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse and
rapidly developing economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed that such economy and
its anticipated  growth and development would support stable occupancy rates and
reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2. Based on an engineering report and its own inspections,  the Advisor
believes  that the  Property has been well  maintained  and is generally in good
condition,   although  the  Advisor   believes  that  the  planned  repairs  and
improvements will allow future increases in rents at the Property.

         3.  The  Property  is  conveniently  located  near The  Colonade  Mall,
Northcross Mall, an IBM facility,  a Texas  Instruments  facility and a new Dell
Computer facility.

         The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to
the  Property  not set forth in this  report  that  would  cause  the  financial
information  contained in the report not to be necessarily  indicative of future
operating results.

          ACQUISITION  AND  MANAGEMENT  SERVICES AND FEES. In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the Property,  Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust,  Inc.  earned a
property  acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the property,  or
$126,600.  At closing,  Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. was paid a portion
of the property  acquisition  fee  corresponding  to the portion of the purchase
price of the  property  paid in cash by the  Company.  The cash  portion  of the
purchase  price  was  approximately  $3,286,127,  and  2%  of  that  amount  was
approximately  $65,723. The balance of the property acquisition fee will be paid
if, when and as the  indebtedness  taken  subject to at closing is repaid by the
Company.

            Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. will serve as property manager
for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the  Company a monthly
management  fee  equal  to 5%  of  the  gross  revenues  of  the  Property  plus
reimbursement of certain expenses.

     Material  Factors  Considered  in  Assessing  the  Property.   The  factors
considered  by the Advisor and the  Company to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

     1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which the
Property is located were perceived as being  characterized by a diverse,  stable
and steadily growing economy. Accordingly, it was believed that such economy and
its anticipated  growth and development would support stable occupancy rates and
reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

     2. Based upon an engineering  report and its own  inspections,  the Advisor
believes that the Property has been well  maintained  and is in good  condition,
although the Advisor  believes that the planned  repairs and  improvements  will
allow a further increase in rents at the Property.

     3.  The  Property  has  an  advantageous   location  -  convenient  to  the
Dallas/Fort  Worth  International  Airport and both downtown Dallas and downtown
Fort Worth - and is located in a  rapidly-growing  area  proximate to centers of
employment and retail development in the city of Arlington.

     Acquisition and Management  Services and Fees. In consideration of services
rendered to the Company in connection  with the selection and acquisition of the
Property,  the Company paid Apple Residential  Management Group, Inc. a property
acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the property,  or $186,000.
Apple Residential  Management Group, Inc. will serve as property manager for the
Property and for its services  will be paid by the Company a monthly  management
fee equal to 5% of the gross  revenues of the  Property  plus  reimbursement  of
certain expenses.

     The Company is not aware of any material  adverse  factors  relating to the
Property not set forth in this report that would cause the financial information
contained in this report not to be  necessarily  indicative of future  operating
results.

                                Richardson, Texas

     On  October  29,  1998,  Apple  REIT  Limited  Partnership   purchased  the
Brandywine Park Apartments located at 1111 Abrams Road in Richardson, Texas (the
"Property").

     The Property  comprises 196  apartment  units.  The purchase  price for the
Property  was  $8,100,000.   The  seller  was  Abrams  One  Properties   Limited
Partnership,  a Texas  limited  partnership,  which is not  affiliated  with the
Company,  the Advisor or their affiliates.  The purchase price was paid entirely
in cash using  proceeds from the sale of Common Shares of the Company.  Title to
the Property was conveyed to the Company by limited warranty deed.

     Location.  The  Property  is  located  on Abrams  Road on the north side of
Interstate  635  (L.B.J.  Freeway)  and  east  of  U.  S.  Highway  75  (Central
Expressway) in  Richardson,  outside of Dallas,  Texas.  The Property is located
within The Metroplex. See above under "Burney Oaks Apartments" for a description
of The Metroplex.

     The immediate area surrounding the Property consists of other  multi-family
and single-family  housing, and commercial and retail development.  The Property
is  located  less  than a mile  from a  multi-billion-dollar  Texas  Instruments
facility.  The  Property  is  also  located  immediately  adjacent  to  Richland
Community College, a two-year college. The Property is located near restaurants,
businesses,  schools and churches and is readily  accessible from Interstate 635
and  Highway  75.  The  Property  is  an  approximately   20-minute  drive  from
Dallas/Fort  Worth  International  Airport and an approximately  15-minute drive
from downtown Dallas.

     Description  of the  Property.  The Property  consists of 196  garden-style
apartment units in 17 two-story buildings on approximately 11 acres of land. The
Property was constructed in 1978.

     The Property  offers  three  different  unit types.  The unit mix and rents
being charged new tenants as of October 1998 are as follows:

     The apartments provide a total of approximately  200,000 square feet of net
rentable area.

     The Company believes the Property has generally been well maintained and is
in good condition for a property of its age.  However,  the Company has budgeted
approximately

                                       -9-


<PAGE>



$1,078,000 for repairs and  improvements  to the Property,  including  clubhouse
renovations, siding replacement, exterior painting, pool renovations, foundation
corrections and interior upgrades.

     The following information is provided by the seller.  Physical occupancy at
the Property averaged approximately 96% in 1996 , 97% in 1997 and 97% during the
first  nine  months  of  1998.  Occupancy  rates  for  earlier  periods  are not
available.  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 three-bedroom,  two-bathroom apartment (1,392 square feet) rented for
$700 in 1993,  $710 in 1994,  $710 in 1995,  $735 in 1996 and $750 in 1997.  The
average  effective annual rental per square foot at the Property for 1993, 1994,
1995, 1996 and 1997 was $6.50, $6.60, $6.60, $6.83, and $6.97, respectively.

     The Property has an outdoor  swimming  pool, a playground and a picnic are.
There is also a  clubhouse  with a leasing  office.  There are also 196  covered
parking spaces and additional paved uncovered parking.

     The  buildings  are wood frame  construction  with a  combination  of brick
veneer and painted wood siding exteriors on concrete slab foundations. Roofs are
pitched and covered with asphalt shingles on plywood sheathing.

     Each  apartment  unit has  wall-to-wall  carpeting  in the living areas and
vinyl floors in the kitchen and bath. Each apartment unit has a cable television
hook-up and  individually  controlled  heating and  air-conditioning  unit. Each
kitchen has a  refrigerator/freezer,  electric  range and oven,  dishwasher  and
garbage disposal.  All units have a washer and dryer, a wood-burning  fireplace,
ten-foot  ceilings,  ceiling fans, mini and vertical blinds and assigned covered
parking.  The owner of the Property pays for cold water,  sewer  service,  trash
removal and gas for hot water.  The tenants pay for their  electricity  service,
which includes cooking, lighting, heating and air-conditioning.

     There  are at  least  four  apartment  properties  that  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  at  nearby  competing  properties  averaged
approximately 94% on October 31, 1998.

     As of October 26, 1998, the Property was  approximately  98% occupied.  The
tenants are a mix of white-collar and blue-collar workers and retired persons.

Item 5.  Other Events

     Cornerstone  Realty Income Trust, Inc.  ("Cornerstone")  has been providing
property management, advisory and real estate brokerage services to the Company.
The property  management and advisory services have been provided by Cornerstone
under  subcontracts from Apple  Residential  Management Group, Inc. ("ARMG") and
Apple  Residential   Advisors,   Inc.  ("ARA"),  the  entities  that  originally
contracted  with the Company for the providing of such services.  As to the real
estate brokerage services, Cornerstone previously purchased the assets

                                      -11-


<PAGE>



of Apple Realty Group, Inc. ("ARG") - consisting  principally of the real estate
brokerage agreement - and thereby succeeded to ARG in providing such services to
the Company.

     Effective at the close of business on September 30, 1998,  the  subcontract
agreements described above were terminated,  and ARA assigned to ARMG its rights
and responsiblities  under the advisory agreement.  Thus, as of October 1, 1998,
the property  management and advisory  services to the Company are now performed
by ARMG using  employees  leased from  Cornerstone.  Effective  October 1, 1998,
Cornerstone  sold to ARMG its  rights in the real  estate  brokerage  agreement.
Beginning  on such date ARMG will  provide the  services  and be entitled to the
compensation  under  the  real  estate  brokerage  agreement.  ARMG  will  lease
employees necessary to provide such services from Cornerstone.

     It is not expected that the restructuring of the relationships  under which
the Company  receives  property  management,  advisory and real estate brokerage
services  will  have any  material  effect  on the  Company  since in  substance
Cornerstone will continue to provide such services to the Company.

         The  Company  believes  that  the  Property  has  generally  been  well
maintained  and  is  in  good  condition.  However,  the  Company  has  budgeted
approximately  $181,500 for repairs and capital  improvements  to the  Property.
These repairs and  improvements  will include  clubhouse  renovations,  exterior
painting and interior upgrades.

         The following information is provided by the seller. Physical occupancy
at the property  averaged  approximately  95% in 1995, 92% in 1996, 93% in 1997,
and 93.2%  during  the first nine  months of 1998.  Leases at the  property  are
generally for terms of one year or less. Physical occupancy averages for earlier
time  periods are not  available.  Average  rental rates for the past five years
have generally  increased.  As an example, a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment
with a fire place and  vaulted  ceilings  (639 square  feet)  rented for $475 in
1993,  $485 in 1994,  $504 in 1995,  $514 in 1996 and $524 in 1997.  The average
effective  annual rental per square foot at the property for 1993,  1994,  1995,
1996 and 1997 was $8.25, 8.43, 8.76, 8.93, and 9.10 , respectively.

         The Property has an outdoor swimming pool, deck and cabana, heated spa,
fitness  center with men's and women's locker rooms with showers and dry saunas,
two open grills and picnic areas, a laundry facility,  gazebos,  covered parking
and a controlled  access gate with  fountains.  There is also a clubhouse with a
leasing office.

         The buildings are wood-frame  construction  with a combination of brick
veneer,  painted wood siding and stucco on concrete slab foundations.  Roofs are
pitched and covered with asphalt shingles on plywood sheathing.

         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
kitchen  has a  refrigerator/freezer  with  icemaker,  electric  range and oven,
dishwasher  and garbage  disposal.  All of the units include nine foot ceilings,
miniblinds,  vertical  blinds,  ceiling fans and washer/dryer  connections.  The
owner of the property pays for cold water,  sewer  charges,  gas (for hot water)
and trash  removal.  The tenants pay for  electricity  service,  which  includes
cooking, lighting, heating and air-conditioning.

         There are at least four  apartment  properties  that  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  at  nearby  competing  properties  averaged
approximately 93% at November 1, 1998.

         As of November 17, 1998, the Property was approximately 96% occupied.

         The basis of the depreciable  residential  real property portion of the
Property (currently estimated at about $9,207,124) will be depreciated over 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 Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as amended (the  "Code").  Amounts to be
spent by the  Company  on  repairs  and  improvements  will be  treated  for tax
purposes as permitted by the Code based on 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.

         Material  Factors  Considered in Assessing  the  Property.  The factors
considered  by the Advisor and the  Company to be  relevant  in  evaluating  the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

         1. The Dallas/Fort  Worth area generally and the specific area in which
the Property is located  were  perceived  as being  characterized  by a diverse,
stable and steadily  growing  economy.  Accordingly,  it was believed  that such
economy  and  its  anticipated  growth  and  development  would  support  stable
occupancy rates and reasonable increases in rents at the Property.

         2.  Based  upon an  engineering  report  and its own  inspections,  the
Advisor  believes that the Property has been well maintained and is generally in
good  condition,  although  the Advisor  believes  that the planned  repairs and
improvements will allow an increase in rents at the Property.

         3. The  Property  has an  advantageous  location  and is  located  in a
rapidly-growing area proximate to centers of employment and retail development.

         Acquisition  and  Management  Services and Fees.  In  consideration  of
services   rendered  to  the  Company  in  connection  with  the  selection  and
acquisition  of the  Property,  the Company  paid Apple  Residential  Management
Group, Inc. a property  acquisition fee equal to 2% of the purchase price of the
property,  or $230,000.  Apple Residential  Management Group, Inc. will serve as
property  manager  for the  Property  and for its  services  will be paid by the
Company  a monthly  management  fee  equal to 5% of the  gross  revenues  of the
Property plus reimbursement of certain expenses.
