                                   THE TRUST
     United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Trust"), founded in 1972, is a
self-administered equity real estate investment trust that owns and operates
apartments in the Southeast from Maryland to Florida. It is a fully integrated
real estate company that acquires, improves, operates, manages and selectively
sells properties with the primary goal of maximizing its funds from operations,
while increasing the value of its real estate through capital improvements and
intensive management.
     The Trust's 100 properties include 81 apartment communities, 15 shopping
centers, two warehouse/industrial properties and two office properties. The
apartment properties consist of 20,254 apartment units, providing approximately
90% of the Trust's rental income. Commercial properties consist of approximately
2.0 million square feet of rentable space, providing approximately 10% of rental
income. All of the Trust's properties are located in the Southeast. Management
believes that the Trust has benefitted from the population and job growth within
this region and that this region will continue to provide attractive demographic
and economic patterns conducive to real estate investment in the 1990's.
     The Trust's investment policy has been to acquire primarily apartment
properties presenting the opportunity for higher occupancy, increased rents and
enhanced property values through a program of renovation, refurbishment and
intensive property management. Beginning in 1991, the Trust embarked on a major
expansion of its apartment portfolio involving (i) the acquisition of apartment
properties having high occupancy levels and not requiring substantial
renovation, and (ii) entry into new markets, most recently the
Baltimore/Washington area and central Florida. The properties have been acquired
generally at significant discounts from replacement cost and at attractive
current yields. The sellers were primarily financially distressed real estate
limited partnerships, the RTC, the FDIC, lenders who had foreclosed and
insurance companies seeking to reduce their real estate exposure. Since 1991,
the Trust has acquired 43 apartment properties containing 11,577 units at a
total cost of approximately $337 million.
     The Trust has paid continuous quarterly distributions to its shareholders
since 1973 and has increased its distributions each year during the past 18
years. The distribution for the first quarter of 1994 was $.195 per share. The
current indicated annual distribution is $.78 per share. In past years, a
portion of the Trust's distributions to shareholders has been designated as a
non-taxable return of capital for Federal income tax purposes.
     The Trust, a Virginia corporation, has its principal office at 10 South 6th
Street, Suite 203, Richmond, Virginia 23219-3802, and its telephone number is
(804) 780-2691. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term "Trust," as
used herein, includes the Trust and its subsidiary.
                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
     The Trust has executed individual contracts to purchase a portfolio of 25
apartment properties containing 5,170 units for a total purchase price of
approximately $162 million, excluding closing costs (the "Portfolio
Acquisition"). Twenty-three of the properties are located in the Southeast, and
approximately two-thirds of the units are based in four of the Trust's existing
markets: Baltimore, Maryland, Charlotte, North Carolina and Columbia and
Greenville, South Carolina. Closing on the Portfolio Acquisition has been
scheduled for July 1, 1994, but the Trust may elect to extend to August 15,
1994, closing on four properties which may be eligible for tax-exempt bond
financing. If the transaction is consummated as planned, it is expected to have
an immediate positive impact on the Trust's operating results. While each of the
individual properties in the Portfolio Acquisition was valued based on a
different estimated first year return, when taken as a whole, the Portfolio
Acquisition will be made based upon internal analyses showing a weighted average
first year return on average investment of 9.0%.
     In addition, the Trust has five other apartment communities containing
1,540 units under contract in separate transactions at a cash purchase price
totalling $54.3 million, excluding closing costs. These properties are located
in Columbia, South Carolina (304 units), Sanford, Florida (256 units),
Kissimmee, Florida (400 units), Jacksonville, Florida (352 units), and
Wilmington, North Carolina (228 units).
     There can be no assurance that any of the proposed acquisitions will be
consummated.

1994 ACQUISITIONS
     Since January 1, 1994, the Trust has acquired seven apartment communities
aggregating 2,340 apartment units at a total cost of $86.8 million, including
closing costs. These acquisitions were made based in part on internal analyses
showing a weighted average first year return on average investment of 9.0%.
             The Shire Apartments -- 302 units located in Raleigh, North
        Carolina, acquired March 4, 1994, for $13.8 million cash ($45,600 per
        unit).
             Lakewood Place Apartments -- 346 units located in Tampa, Florida,
        acquired March 11, 1994, for $12.0 million cash ($34,800 per unit).
             River Place Apartments -- 240 units located in Macon, Georgia,
        acquired April 8, 1994, for $8.6 million cash ($35,800 per unit).
             Lakeside North Apartments -- 360 units located in Altamonte
        Springs, Florida, acquired April 14, 1994, for $12.6 million ($35,000
        per unit). This acquisition was financed through the assumption of $12.4
        million of tax-exempt housing bonds.
             Palm Grove Apartments -- 244 units located in Tampa, Florida,
        acquired April 15, 1994, for $5.9 million cash ($24,100 per unit).
             Walnut Creek Apartments -- 576 units located in Raleigh, North
        Carolina, acquired May 17, 1994, for $24.9 million cash ($43,200 per
        unit).
             Griffin Crossing Apartments -- 272 units located in Griffin,
        Georgia, acquired June 9, 1994, for $9 million cash ($33,100 per unit).
FINANCING
     Since January 1, 1994, the Trust has completed (i) a private placement of
$12.4 million of tax-exempt housing bonds, (ii) public offerings of $11.2
million of tax-exempt housing bonds and (iii) a public offering of $75 million
of senior unsecured notes.
     The Trust presently intends to issue $75 million to $100 million of 7 to 10
year senior unsecured debt during the third quarter of 1994 to help finance its
1994 apartment acquisitions, including the Portfolio Acquisition. To mitigate
the risks of rising interest rates, on May 18, 1994, the Trust entered into an
interest rate hedge agreement, which has the effect of limiting the Trust's
exposure to an increase in the 10-year Treasury Rate to a maximum of 7.197% for
$75 million of its debt to be issued on or before September 15, 1994.
     The Trust anticipates that it will continue to finance its acquisition
program using a combination of debt, equity and convertible securities.
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
     The net proceeds to the Trust from the sale of 8,000,000 shares of Common
Stock are estimated at $107,724,000. The Trust presently intends to use the net
proceeds to fund a portion of the $162 million purchase price of the Portfolio
Acquisition. Pending such use, the Trust will invest the net proceeds in
short-term instruments bearing interest at market rates. The Trust will fund the
balance of the purchase price of the Portfolio Acquisition with borrowings under
its bank lines of credit pending permanent financing. See "Recent
Developments -- Financing."

DISTRIBUTIONS
     The Trust has paid continuous quarterly distributions to its shareholders
since 1973, its first full year of operations, and has increased its
distributions each year during the past 18 years. The Trust's current policy is
to make distributions in amounts exceeding 75% of its funds from operations, but
not less than such amounts as may be necessary to continue its qualification as
a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"). Funds from operations may not necessarily equal
cash available for distribution as the cash flow of the Trust is affected by
other factors not included in the calculation of funds from operations. The
distribution for the first quarter of 1994 was approximately 83% of funds from
operations for the quarter. The quarterly distribution for the second quarter of
1994 is to be paid on July 29, 1994 to shareholders of record as of the close of
business on July 15, 1994. Purchasers of the Common Stock offered hereby are
expected to participate in this distribution. The current indicated annual
distribution is $.78 per share.
     For Federal income tax purposes, distributions paid to shareholders may
consist of ordinary income, capital gains distributions, non-taxable return of
capital or a combination thereof. Distributions which exceed the Trust's current
and accumulated earnings and profits constitute a return of capital rather than
a dividend and reduce the shareholder's basis in his shares. To the extent that
a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits and the
shareholder's basis in his shares, it will generally be treated as gain from the
sale or exchange of that shareholder's shares. The Trust annually notifies
shareholders as to the taxability of distributions paid during the preceding
year. Since 1989, cash distributions per share paid to shareholders have been
taxable as set forth below.

HISTORICAL TOTAL RETURNS
     The table below sets forth the compound annual rates of pretax total return
(increase in market value plus distributions paid) which would have been
realized by an investor who purchased the Trust's Common Stock on the open
market at the beginning of the periods indicated and sold such Common Stock on
the open market at the end of the periods indicated. Distributions paid during
each year are assumed to have been reinvested on the date paid at the then
closing market price of the Common Stock. Past performance is not necessarily
indicative of the results that can be expected in the future from an investment
in the Trust's Common Stock.

(1) Funds from operations is defined as income before gains (losses) on
    investments and extraordinary items adjusted for certain non-cash items,
    primarily real estate depreciation. The Trust 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 Trust's operating performance and liquidity. Funds from
    operations 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     Funds from operations is defined as income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary items adjusted for certain non-cash items,
primarily real estate depreciation. The Trust 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 Trust's operating
performance and liquidity. Funds from operations 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.
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
     For the first quarter of 1994, the Trust reported increases over the
comparable 1993 quarter in rental income, income from property operations, net
income and funds from operations. First quarter 1994 rental income was $26.7
million compared to $20.2 million in the first quarter of 1993, an increase of
$6.5 million or 32.3%. Income from property operations, excluding depreciation,
increased from $12.0 million to $15.3 million, an increase of $3.3 million or
27.6%. Net income for the first quarter of 1994 totalled $3.4 million which was
$826,000, or 31.9%, greater than the $2.6 million reported for the first quarter
of 1993. On a per share basis, net income increased from $.07 for the first
quarter of 1993 to $.08 for the first quarter of 1994. Net income for the 1994
quarter includes a $450,000 charge ($.01 per share) reflecting the Trust's
implementation of the provisions of SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits." First quarter funds from operations increased 33.1%
from $7.3 million in 1993 to $9.8 million in 1994.
     The Trust's 1993 acquisitions made the largest contribution to the reported
increases. The Trust's first quarter 1994 acquisitions and improved results from
its core portfolio of mature apartments and commercial properties also had a
positive impact on first quarter results. The Trust considers an apartment
community to be mature after it has been owned for a full calendar (fiscal)
year. For the Trust's 13,832 mature apartments (57 communities) that have been
owned since the beginning of 1993, economic occupancy increased 1.2% to 92.5%
for the first quarter of 1994 compared to 91.3% for the first quarter of 1993.
Average rents at these properties grew by 3.0% and operating expenses increased
approximately 5.5%, increasing the operating expense ratio 0.3% to 44.7%. As a
result, net operating income from these apartment units for the first quarter of
1994 increased 4.1%, or $386,000, compared to the first quarter of 1993. For the
remaining 4,730 apartment units (19 communities), acquired by the Trust since
January 1, 1993, economic occupancy averaged 91.1% and the operating expense
ratio was 44.9% during the first quarter of 1994.
     For the first quarter of 1994, net operating income from commercial
properties increased 7.6%, or $141,000, from the first quarter in 1993,
primarily reflecting additional small tenant leases. Average economic occupancy
for the first quarter of 1994 increased 1.1% to 84.5% compared to the first
quarter of 1993.
     During the first quarter of 1994, interest expense was approximately
$742,000 higher than it was in the first quarter of 1993 ($4.7 million in 1994
versus $3.9 million in 1993) as the Trust had more debt outstanding in 1994 than
in 1993. At March 31, 1994, the Trust's total debt (mortgage and unsecured notes
payable) was $260.7 million versus $209.7 million at March 31, 1993.
     For the first quarter of 1994, depreciation expense increased to $5.7
million versus $4.6 million in the first quarter of 1993, reflecting the
portfolio expansion that has occurred during the past year.
     Management expects that the Trust's operating results for the second
quarter of 1994 will show continued improvement when compared to the comparable
period last year reflecting the continued positive impact of the 1993 and 1994
acquisitions and anticipated occupancy gains and rent growth.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
     For 1993, the Trust reported significant increases over 1992 in rental
income, income from property operations, income before gains (losses) on
investments and extraordinary item, net income, and funds from operations. These
increases are attributable primarily to the significant portfolio expansion that
has occurred since the beginning of 1992. The performance of the Trust's mature
group of 10,924 apartment units (46 apartment communities) contributed to the
increases.
     For 1993, the Trust's mature apartment properties provided 60% of the
Trust's rental income. These units had average economic occupancy of 91.2%
during 1993 compared to 90.6% for 1992, an increase of 0.6%. In 1993, average
rents at these properties grew 2.6% (to $440 per month) and rental expenses
increased 5.3%, resulting in an increase in the operating expense ratio (the
ratio of rental expenses to rental income) of 0.8% to 47.9%. Net operating
income (rental income minus operating expenses) from these apartment units was
up approximately $500,000 or 1.8%. For the remaining 6,990 apartment units
acquired by the Trust since the beginning of 1992, economic occupancy averaged
92.1% and the operating expense ratio was 43.3% for 1993. For the 17,914
apartments in the 74 communities owned on December 31, 1993, economic occupancy
averaged 91.5% and the expense ratio was 46.4% for the full year. In 1992, the
13,832 units then owned had economic occupancy of 90.7% and an expense ratio of
46.5%.
     For 1993, net operating income from commercial properties increased
$288,000, or 4.0%, primarily reflecting additional small tenant leases.
     For 1993, depreciation expense increased $4.0 million with substantially
all of the increase attributable to the portfolio expansion that has occurred
during the past year.
     For 1993, interest income was $708,000 compared to $1.4 million in 1992.
During each year, the Trust completed a public offering of Common Stock and
invested the proceeds temporarily in short-term money market investments. During
1992, the Trust had such temporary investments throughout much of the year at
higher rates than in 1993 when the average amount invested in the money markets
was significantly lower. Consequently, interest income declined.
     Interest expense increased approximately $5.2 million reflecting the fact
that the Trust used less equity relative to debt to finance its 1993
acquisitions than it did in 1992. While interest expense increased $.105 per
share in 1993, as a percent of rental income it was virtually unchanged.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
     As a qualified REIT, the Trust distributes a substantial portion of its
cash flow to its shareholders in the form of distributions. Over the past
several years, these distributions have exceeded 80% of the Trust's cash flow
from operating activities and its funds from operations. While the Trust seeks
to retain sufficient cash to cover its normal operating needs, including routine
replacements, its distribution payout ratio requires that portfolio growth,
property improvements and balloon debt payments be financed through a variety of
primarily external sources. The Trust has frequently utilized its bank lines of
credit to temporarily finance these expenditures and has subsequently replaced
this short-term bank debt with longer term debt or equity.
     For 1993 and the first quarter of 1994, the Trust's cash flow from
operating activities increased substantially as a result of the expansion of the
Trust's portfolio as discussed below and under "Results of Operations."
     At the beginning of 1993, the Trust had $1.1 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $22.5 million of available and unused bank lines of credit. On
February 24, 1993, the Trust privately placed $52 million of senior unsecured
notes with three insurance companies at an interest rate of 7.98%. The notes are
due in equal annual principal installments of $7.4 million from 1997 to 2003.
The proceeds of the debt placement were utilized to repay $50 million of
short-term bank debt that had been incurred in connection with certain apartment
acquisitions completed since mid-December, 1992. In early July, 1993, the Trust
sold 6,095,000 shares of Common Stock in a public offering at $13.50 per share.
The net proceeds of the offering approximated $78 million of which $35 million
was used to repay, in full, then outstanding short-term bank debt. The remaining
proceeds were invested primarily in additional apartment acquisitions during the
second half of 1993. Also, at the beginning of July, 1993, the Trust completed
the refunding of $13.8 million of tax-exempt housing bonds encumbering two
Maryland apartment communities that had been acquired at the end of 1992. The
bonds were sold in a public offering, mature in 30 years and have a weighted
average life of 22.3 years. The bonds bear interest at a weighted average
interest rate of 5.91%. On April 7, 1994, the Trust completed a $75 million
public offering of 7 1/4% senior unsecured notes due April 1, 1999. The notes
were priced at 99.833% to yield 7.29% to maturity. The net proceeds from the
offering (approximately $74.3 million) were utilized to repay, in full,
outstanding bank debt and to fund subsequent apartment acquisitions.

     Since the beginning of 1993, the Trust has expanded its bank lines of
credit to $73.5 million, an increase of $22.5 million. As of June 14, 1994, the
Trust had approximately $52.6 million of credit available under these lines. The
Trust anticipates increasing its bank lines of credit to as much as $100 million
during 1994. Historically, the Trust has utilized its lines only as an interim
source of funds for new acquisitions and has subsequently replaced any such bank
borrowings with longer-term debt or equity capital when market conditions allow.
     The Trust presently intends to issue $75 million to $100 million of 7 to 10
year senior unsecured debt during the third quarter of 1994 to help finance its
1994 apartment acquisitions, including the Portfolio Acquisition. To mitigate
the risks of rising interest rates, on May 18, 1994, the Trust entered into an
interest rate hedge agreement, which has the effect of limiting the Trust's
exposure to an increase in the 10-year Treasury Rate to a maximum of 7.197% for
$75 million of its debt to be issued on or before September 15, 1994.
     During 1993, the Trust acquired 17 apartment communities containing 4,082
units at an aggregate cost of $118 million, including closing costs. The Trust
also made $10.4 million of capital improvements to its portfolio during the
year. This amount includes approximately $3.5 million of improvements at the
Trust's 10,924 mature apartment units that have been owned since the beginning
of 1992. Excluding English Hills (acquired December, 1991) which was still
undergoing rehabilitation in 1993, the remaining 10,348 mature units averaged
$270 per unit in capital expenditures. To date in 1994, the Trust has acquired
seven apartment communities containing 2,340 units at a total cost of $86.8
million, including closing costs. In connection with one of these acquisitions,
the Trust assumed $12.4 million of tax-exempt housing bonds. In early April
1994, the Trust agreed to acquire a portfolio of 25 properties containing 5,170
units for approximately $162 million.
     The Trust's goal is to acquire 6,000 or more apartment units in addition to
the Portfolio Acquisition during 1994. Assuming a sufficient level of
acquisition activity, it will be necessary for the Trust to raise additional
capital later in the year. In connection with two of its 1993 acquisitions, the
Trust received regulatory approval for the issuance of approximately $11.2
million of tax-exempt housing bonds. These bonds were sold in the second quarter
of 1994. See "Recent Developments -- Proposed Acquisitions" and "Business
 -- Proposed Portfolio Acquisition."
     In April, 1993, the Trust engaged outside property management for most of
its shopping center properties following the decision to exit the commercial
property business. Although no formal plan has been adopted, management intends
to offer the Trust's seven Richmond, Virginia shopping centers for sale sometime
during the remainder of 1994. Management has committed to developing alternative
strategies that will enable the Trust to dispose of most of these properties
over the next few years.
     The Trust's liquidity and capital resources are believed to be more than
adequate to meet its cash requirements for the foreseeable future.
INFLATION
     Management believes that the direct effects of inflation on the Trust's
operations have been inconsequential.
                                    BUSINESS
     The Trust acquires, improves, operates, manages and selectively sells
properties with the principal objective of maximizing its funds from operations.
To meet this objective, the Trust has emphasized the acquisition of properties
that can be acquired at attractive initial yields and immediately increase funds
from operations. Historically, the Trust's primary investment policy has been to
acquire apartment properties presenting the opportunity for higher occupancy,
increased rents and enhanced property values through a program of renovation,
refurbishment and intensive property management. In 1991, the Trust expanded its
investment policy with the acquisition of apartment properties having higher
occupancies and requiring substantially less renovation. Generally, these
properties have been acquired at significant discounts from replacement cost and
at attractive initial yields. The Trust has also expanded into new markets, most
recently the Baltimore/Washington area and central Florida. Since 1991, the
Trust has acquired 43 apartment properties containing 11,577 units at a total
cost of approximately $337 million.
     The Trust seeks to employ leverage conservatively using primarily corporate
debt, which is considered to be more flexible and less costly than mortgage debt
on individual properties. At March 31, 1994, approximately $459 million, or 75%,
of the Trust's real estate owned at cost was unencumbered by mortgage debt. The
Trust also uses tax-exempt housing bonds to finance eligible properties.

     The Trust considers apartments to be its principal business and plans to
commit substantially all of its investment portfolio and all of its new
acquisitions to apartments. Over the long term, management believes that
investment in apartments in the Southeast will benefit from the following
factors:
          (Bullet) There has been a significant decline in apartment
                   construction in the Trust's target markets beginning in 1990
                   which has continued through the first quarter of 1994.
          (Bullet) Only about two million apartments are projected to be built
                   in the 1990's. There were 600,000 completed in 1986 alone.
          (Bullet) Approximately 12 million new households are expected to be
                   formed in the 1990's, and a majority of this growth is
                   projected in the South.
          (Bullet) Approximately 36% of all households were renters at the start
                   of the decade. Despite historically low mortgage interest
                   rates, the proportion of renters has declined only slightly
                   over the past three years.
          (Bullet) During this same period, only about 15% of all residential
                   construction permits have been for multifamily apartments.
          (Bullet) There are estimates that a significant majority of today's
                   renter households cannot afford to buy a moderately priced
                   home in their region because of credit problems, the lack of
                   a down payment or a monthly payment that is too high.
          (Bullet) Other demographic characteristics favor apartment demand
                   including an increase in single person and single parent
                   households, higher growth rates among minorities, additional
                   immigrant households and a decline in younger household
                   income.
Management also believes that demand for apartments within the Southeast will
grow faster than the national average for several reasons including both
population and job growth rates that are projected to be approximately 50%
greater than the national average. In several of the markets where the Trust
owns properties, the population and job growth rates for the decade are
projected to be more than double that of the national average.
     The following chart shows the geographic distribution of the Trust's
apartment properties. Pro forma information gives effect to the proposed
acquisition by the Trust of the Portfolio Acquisition. See " -- Proposed
Portfolio Acquisition" and "Recent Developments. "

APARTMENTS
     The Trust's apartments consist of a mix of lower to upper income properties
with a majority being middle to moderate income. A majority of the tenants are
family households. The apartments are typically suburban, garden or townhouse
style units with one, two and three bedrooms. The units are generally
individually heated and cooled, with all appliances and wall-to-wall carpet.
Amenities normally include swimming pools, tennis courts, clubhouses and
playgrounds. Some of the apartment communities also have fitness centers,
volleyball courts, jacuzzis and racquet ball courts. The average cost for the
Trust's apartments, including all renovations and refurbishment costs, was
approximately $28,700 per unit at March 31, 1994. During the first quarter of
1994, apartment occupancy averaged 92.2% overall and 92.5% for the mature 13,832
units which were acquired prior to 1993.
     The following table presents information concerning the Trust's apartment

SHOPPING CENTERS AND OTHER PROPERTIES
     The Trust owns approximately two million square feet of commercial property
space including 15 neighborhood and community shopping centers and four other
commercial properties. Commercial properties provide approximately 10% of the
Trust's rental income. Near the end of 1992, management of the Trust determined
that the Trust should devote substantially all of its resources to the apartment
business. Consequently, the Trust has decided not to acquire any additional
commercial properties. The Trust plans to dispose of most or all of its
commercial properties over the next few years. Although no formal plans have
been adopted, management intends to offer the Trust's seven Richmond, Virginia
shopping centers for sale sometime during the remainder of 1994. Effective April
1, 1993, the Trust engaged independent fee management companies to manage all
but three of its commercial properties. The use of outside commercial property
management has not resulted in any significant changes in operating costs.
During the first quarter of 1994, net operating income from the Trust's
commercial properties was $2.0 million which was $141,000, or 7.6%, higher than
in the comparable period of 1993.
                           CAPITAL STOCK OF THE TRUST
COMMON STOCK
     The Trust has authority to issue 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of
which 41,722,902 shares were issued and outstanding as of May 24, 1994. Holders
of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when and as declared by the
Board of Directors. Holders of Common Stock have one vote per share and
non-cumulative voting rights, which means that holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and, in
such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any
directors. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation or
dissolution of the Trust, holders of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably
in the distributable assets of the Trust. Holders of Common Stock do not have
preemptive rights.
     Covenants in its loan agreements with certain lenders restrict the payment
of distributions in excess of the sum of (i) current "cash flow," (ii) varying
additional amounts and (iii) the proceeds of Common Stock offerings subsequent
to various dates, all as defined in the particular loan agreement. The covenants
do not prohibit the Trust from paying distributions in order to continue its
qualification as a REIT under the Code.
PREFERRED STOCK
     The Trust is authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock,
which is issuable without the vote of holders of Common Stock, for any corporate
purpose and for whatever consideration the Board of Directors deems appropriate,
in one or more series having varying voting rights, redemption and conversion
features, distribution (including liquidating distribution) rights and
preferences, and other rights, including rights of approval of specified
transactions, as may be determined by the Board of Directors in fixing series
characteristics. A series of Preferred Stock could be given more than one vote
per share and a series having preferential distribution rights could limit
Common Stock distributions and reduce the amount holders of Common Stock would
otherwise receive on dissolution of the Trust.
     No Preferred Stock has been issued and, at present, the Board of Directors
has approved no specific financing or acquisition plans involving the issuance
of Preferred Stock and does not propose to fix the characteristics of any series
in anticipation of issuing shares of that series.
AFFILIATED TRANSACTIONS
     The Virginia Stock Corporation Act contains provisions governing
"Affiliated Transactions " designed to deter uninvited takeovers of Virginia
corporations. These provisions, with several exceptions discussed below, require
approval of material acquisition transactions between a Virginia corporation and
any holder of more than 10% of any class of its outstanding voting shares (an
"Interested Shareholder ") by the holders of at least two-thirds of the
remaining voting shares. For three years following the time that the Interested
Shareholder becomes an owner of 10% of the outstanding voting shares, Virginia
corporations cannot engage in an Affiliated Transaction with such Interested
Shareholder without approval of two-thirds of the voting shares other than those
shares beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder, and majority approval
of the "Disinterested Directors." At the expiration of the three year period,
the statute requires approval of Affiliated Transactions by two-thirds of the
voting shares other than those beneficially owned by the Interested Shareholder
absent an exception. The principal exceptions to the special voting requirement
apply to transactions proposed after the three year period has expired and
require either that the transaction be approved by a majority of the
corporation's Disinterested Directors or that the transaction satisfy the
fair-price requirements of the law.
                                       16

<PAGE>
     The Virginia Stock Corporation Act also provides that shares acquired in a
transaction that would cause the acquiring person's voting strength to cross any
of three thresholds (20%, 33%, or 50%) have no voting rights unless granted by a
majority vote of shares not owned by the acquiring person or any officer or
employee-director of the Trust. An acquiring person may require the Trust to
hold a special meeting of shareholders to consider the matter within 50 days of
its request.
REDEMPTION AND RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
     In order to preserve the Trust's status as a REIT as defined in the Code,
the Trust can redeem or stop the transfer of its shares. The Trust's Articles of
Incorporation provide that the Trust is organized to qualify as a REIT. Because
the Code provides that the concentration of more than 50% in value of the direct
or indirect ownership of its shares in five or fewer individual shareholders
during the last six months of any year would result in the disqualification of
the Trust as a REIT, the Articles of Incorporation provide that the Trust shall
have the power (i) to redeem that number of concentrated shares sufficient in
the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Trust to maintain or bring the
direct or indirect ownership of shares into conformity with the requirements of
the Code, and (ii) to stop the transfer of shares to any person whose
acquisition thereof would, in the opinion of the Trust's Board of Directors,
result in such disqualification. The per share redemption price of any shares
redeemed by the Trust pursuant to this provision shall be the last reported sale
price for the shares as of the business day preceding the day on which notice of
redemption is given. The Board of Directors of the Trust can require
shareholders to disclose in writing to the Trust such information with respect
to ownership of its shares as it deems necessary to comply with the REIT
provisions of the Code.
REIT QUALIFICATION
     The Trust operates in a manner intended to qualify for treatment as a REIT
under the Code. In general, a REIT which distributes to its shareholders at
least 95% of its taxable income (other than net capital gain) for a taxable year
and which meets certain other conditions will not be subject to federal income
taxation on income (including net capital gain) distributed for that year. If
the Trust fails to qualify in any taxable year, it will be taxed for federal
income tax purposes as a corporation for that year and distributions to
shareholders will not be deductible by the Trust in computing its taxable
income. Under such circumstances, the Trust also will be disqualified from being
treated as a REIT under the Code for the ensuing four fiscal years. Failure to
qualify could result in the Trust's incurring indebtedness and perhaps
liquidating investments in order to pay the resultant taxes.

                        NOTES TO PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
                                 MARCH 31, 1994
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying pro forma balance sheet assumes the completion, as of
March 31, 1994, of (i) the sale of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
assumed price of $14.25 per share (the "Offering"), (ii) the proposed
acquisition of 25 apartment communities (the "Portfolio Acquisition"), (iii) the
acquisition of five apartment communities purchased in 1994 (previously reported
on Forms 8-K dated April 15, 1994 and May 17, 1994), (iv) the borrowing of
$93,069,000 and the issuance of 605,109 shares of Common Stock to the seller of
the Portfolio Acquisition at an assumed price of $13.70 per share (assumed
market price of $14.25 per share net of an agreed discount of $.55 per share)
necessary to fund a portion of the Portfolio Acquisition. In management's
opinion, all significant adjustments necessary to reflect these transactions
have been made. The pro forma balance sheet should be read in conjunction with
the Trust's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1993
and its unaudited financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31,
1994.
     The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is not necessarily indicative of what
the Trust's financial position would have been if the Offering and related
acquisitions had been consummated as of March 31, 1994, nor does it purport to
be indicative of the Trust's financial position in future periods.
2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRO FORMA BALANCE SHEET
     (A) Represents the Trust's historical balance sheet contained in the
Trust's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1994.
     (B) Represents the initial purchase price of $161,950,000 for the 25
properties proposed to be acquired in the Portfolio Acquisition plus estimated
closing costs of $1,047,000.
     (C) Represents the assumption of two mortgage loans encumbering two
properties included in the Portfolio Acquisition as follows:

                  NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
                 FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 AND
                        THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993
                                  (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying pro forma statements of operations assume the completion
of (i) the sale of 8,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an assumed price of
$14.25 per share (the "Offering"), (ii) the proposed acquisition of 25 apartment
communities (the "Portfolio Acquisition"), (iii) the issuance of 605,109 shares
of Common Stock to the seller of the Portfolio Acquisition at an assumed price
of $13.70 per share (assumed market price of $14.25 per share net of an agreed
discount of $.55 per share), (iv) the acquisition of five apartment communities
purchased in 1994 previously reported on Forms 8-K dated April 15, 1994 and May
17, 1994, and (v) the acquisition of eleven apartment communities previously
reported on Form 8-K dated December 31, 1993, at the beginning of each period
presented. In addition, such pro forma statements of operations also assume that
$23,640,000 of 7 year senior unsecured notes are outstanding for approximately 8
months for the year ended December 31, 1993 and 2 months for the first quarter
of 1994. In management's opinion, all significant adjustments necessary to
reflect these transactions have been made. The pro forma statements of
operations should be read in conjunction with the Trust's audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1993 and its unaudited financial
statements for the three months ended March 31, 1994.
     The unaudited pro forma statements of operations are not necessarily
indicative of what the Trust's results would have been for the three months
ended March 31, 1994 and the year ended December 31, 1993 if the Offering and
related acquisitions had been consummated at the beginning of each period
presented, nor do they purport to be indicative of the results of operations or
financial position in future periods.
2. ADJUSTMENTS TO THE PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
     (A) Represents the Trust's historical statements of operations contained in
its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and
its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.
     (B) Represents actual rental income and related operating expenses of the
proposed Portfolio Acquisition, as reported on Form 8-K dated May 26, 1994.
     (C) Represents rental income and related operating expenses of five
