                       UNITED DOMINION REALTY TRUST, INC.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1. Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include the  accounts of
United Dominion and its  subsidiaries,  including United Dominion Realty,  L.P.,
(the "Operating  Partnership"),  and Heritage  Communities  L.P.  (collectively,
"United  Dominion").  As of March 31, 2000,  there were 74,463,788  units in the
Operating Partnership outstanding, of which, 67,624,603, or 90.8%, were owned by
United  Dominion and 6,839,185,  or 9.2%, were owned by  non-affiliated  limited
partners.  In connection with the  acquisition of ASR Investment  Corporation in
March 1998,  United  Dominion  acquired  Heritage  Communities  L.P., a Delaware
limited  partnership  (the  "Heritage  OP").  As of March 31,  2000,  there were
4,502,668 units in the Heritage OP outstanding,  of which  3,839,330,  or 85.3%,
were  owned by United  Dominion  and  663,338  units,  or 14.7%,  were  owned by
non-affiliated limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of United
Dominion  include the minority  interests of the  unitholders  in the  operating
partnerships.

The accompanying interim unaudited  consolidated  financial statements have been
prepared  according to the rules and  regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted   according  to  such  rules  and
regulations,  although  management believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information  presented not misleading.  The  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements  should be read in conjunction with the audited  financial
statements and related notes  appearing in United  Dominion's  December 31, 1999
Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

In the opinion of management,  the consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of financial  position
at March 31, 2000 and results of operations for the interim  periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999.  Such  adjustments  are normal and  recurring in nature.  All
significant  inter-company  accounts and  transactions  have been  eliminated in
consolidation.  The interim results presented are not necessarily  indicative of
results that can be expected for a full year.

The  preparation  of these  financial  statements  requires  management  to make
estimates  and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amounts  of assets and
liabilities  and  disclosure  of  contingent  liabilities  at the  dates  of the
financial  statements  and the  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during the
reporting  periods.  Actual  amounts  realized  or paid could  differ from those
estimates.

Certain  previously  reported amounts have been reclassified to conform with the
current financial statement presentation.

(a)      Includes fair value  adjustments  aggregating $13.8 million recorded in
         connection with the ASR Merger and the AAC Merger on March 27, 1998 and
         December 7, 1998, respectively.
(b)      During 1999,  United Dominion closed on a $200 million revolving credit
         facility  with the Federal  National  Mortgage  Association  (the "FNMA
         Credit  Facility").  The FNMA Credit Facility is for an initial term of
         five years,  bear  interest  at a floating  rate which can be fixed for
         periods of up to 270 days,  and can be extended for an additional  five
         or ten years at United  Dominion's  discretion.  At March 31, 2000, the
         FNMA Credit Facility had a weighted  average  floating rate of interest
         of 6.50%.  In order to limit a portion of its interest rate exposure on
         the Credit  Facility,  United Dominion  entered into three forward rate
         swap agreements.  These agreements have an aggregate  notional value of
         $57 million  under which United  Dominion pays a fixed rate of interest
         and receives a variable rate on the notional amount.  The interest rate
         swap  agreements  effectively  change United  Dominion's  interest rate
         exposure  on $57  million  of secured  debt from a  variable  rate to a
         weighted average fixed rate of 6.65%.

Approximate  principal  payments due during each of the next five calendar years
and thereafter, as of March 31, 2000, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

(b)      As of March 31,  2000,  United  Dominion  had five  interest  rate swap
         agreements associated with commercial bank borrowings with an aggregate
         notional value of $45 million under which United  Dominion pays a fixed
         rate of  interest  and  receives a  variable  rate of  interest  on the
         notional  amounts.  The interest rate swaps  effectively  change United
         Dominion's  interest rate exposure on these  borrowings from a variable
         rate to a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 6.8%.
(c)      Payable annually in three equal principal installments of $7.4 million.
(d)      Includes  $4.4  million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2000 and December
         31,  1999,  respectively,  of deferred  gains from the  termination  of
         interest rate risk management agreements.
(e)      United  Dominion has one interest rate swap agreement  associated  with
         these unsecured  notes with an aggregate  notional value of $10 million
         under which United  Dominion pays a fixed rate of interest and receives
         a  variable  rate  on the  notional  amount.  The  interest  rate  swap
         agreement  effectively changes United Dominion's interest rate exposure
         on the $10 million from a variable rate to a fixed rate of 7.7%.
(f)      Debentures  include an  investor  put feature  which  grants a one-time

5. Earnings Per Share

Basic  earnings  per common share is computed  based upon the  weighted  average
number of common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted  earnings per
common share is computed based on common shares  outstanding  plus the effect of
dilutive stock options and other potentially  dilutive common stock equivalents.
The  dilutive  effect  of  stock  options  and  other  potential   common  stock
equivalents  is  determined  using the  treasury  stock  method  based on United
Dominion's  average stock price. The early  extinguishment of debt does not have
an effect on the earnings per share calculation for the periods  presented.  The
following  table sets forth the  computation  of basic and  diluted  earning per
share (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

The effect of the conversion of the operating  partnership units and convertible
preferred  stock is not  dilutive  and is  therefore  not included as a dilutive
security in the earnings per share  computation.  The weighted average effect of
the  conversion  of the operating  partnership  units for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 7,503,570 and 8,590,907,  respectively. The weighted
average  effect of the  conversion of the  convertible  preferred  stock for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 was 12,307,692 common shares.

6. Impact of Recently Issued Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 133,
"Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging  Activities"  ("Statement
133"), as amended by Statement No. 137,  "Accounting for Derivative  Instruments
and Hedging  Activities - Deferral of the Effective  Date of FASB  Statement No.
133 - an Amendment of FASB  Statement  No. 133," which is required to be adopted
in years beginning after June 15, 2000.  Statement 133 permits early adoption as
of the  beginning of any fiscal  quarter  after its  issuance,  however,  United
Dominion  does not  anticipate  adopting  Statement 133 until such time as it is
required.   Statement  133  will  require  United   Dominion  to  recognize  all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  Derivatives that are not hedges
must be adjusted to fair value  through  income.  If the  derivative is a hedge,
depending on the nature of the hedge,  changes in fair value of derivatives will
either  be  offset  against  the  change  in fair  value of the  hedged  assets,
liabilities,  or firm  commitments  through  earnings  or  recognized  in  other
comprehensive  income  until the hedged  item is  recognized  in  earnings.  The
ineffective portion of the derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings.  United  Dominion has not yet determined what the effect
of  Statement  133 will be on  earnings  and the  financial  position  of United
Dominion, however, management does not anticipate that the adoption of Statement
133 will have a  significant  effect on  earnings or the  financial  position of
United Dominion.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Overview

The following information should be read in conjunction with the United Dominion
Realty Trust, Inc.  ("United  Dominion") 1999 Form 10-K as well as the financial
statements  and notes included in Item 1 of this report.  This quarterly  report
contains  forward-looking  statements  within the  meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1993, as amended,  and Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  as  amended.  Such  forward-looking  statements  include,  without
limitation,   statements  concerning  property  acquisitions  and  dispositions,
development activity and capital expenditures,  capital raising activities, rent
growth,   occupancy  and  rental  expense  growth.   Words  such  as  "expects",
"anticipates",   "intends",   "plans",  "believes",   "seeks",  "estimates"  and
variations of such words and similar  expressions  are intended to identify such
forward-looking  statements.  Such  statements  involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,  performance
or achievement of United Dominion 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 United Dominion,  or its properties,  adverse changes in
the real estate markets and general and local economies and business conditions.
Although   United  Dominion   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 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 United  Dominion  or any other  person  that the  results  or
conditions  described in such  statements or the  objectives and plans of United
Dominion will be achieved.

United  Dominion is a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  with  activities
related to the  ownership,  development,  acquisition,  renovation,  management,
marketing  and  strategic   disposition  of  multifamily  apartment  communities
nationwide. Management's strategy is to be a national, highly efficient provider
of quality apartment homes.  During the past several years,  United Dominion has
implemented  this  strategy  through the  acquisition  of  portfolios  of higher
quality  communities,  the disposition of non-strategic  communities,  a greater
commitment  to  development  and the upgrade of its core  portfolio of apartment
communities.  Through a combination of dispositions  and  acquisitions  over the
past two years,  United  Dominion  aggressively  moved the  company  into better
performing markets with attractive  prospects for long-term growth.  During this
same  period,  more  emphasis  has been  placed  on higher  quality  development
projects.  This  strategy  resulted in the  upgrade of the  overall  quality and
average age of United Dominion's portfolio, which is now solidly positioned with
"B" and "A" grade  communities.  United  Dominion seeks to be a market leader by
operating a sufficiently sized portfolio of apartments within each of its target
markets in order to drive down  operating  costs through  economies of scale and
management  efficiencies.   United  Dominion  believes  that  geographic  market
diversification  increases  investment  opportunities  and  decreases  the  risk
associated with cyclical local real estate markets and economies.

At March 31, 2000,  United Dominion owned 298 communities  with 81,714 apartment
homes nationwide,  including 43 communities with 8,602 completed apartment homes
included  in  real  estate  held  for  disposition  and 330  recently  completed
apartment homes included in real estate under development.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

United  Dominion  expects to finance  its  operating  and  investing  activities
primarily  through  net cash  provided  by  operations,  the  proceeds  from its
disposition  program and  borrowings  under its unsecured  bank lines of credit.
United Dominion routinely uses its unsecured bank credit facility to temporarily
fund investing activities prior to arranging for longer-term  financing.  United
Dominion  considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from  operations,
dispositions  and  financings  to be adequate to meet the cash flow needs of the
company during the remainder of 2000.

As a significant portion of the proceeds from the sale of communities is used to
reduce  debt,  the  immediate  impact is  dilutive  to earnings as the return on
investment  of the property  being sold  exceeds the  interest  rate on the debt
repaid. While using disposition proceeds in this manner will moderate the growth
rate for  earnings,  the company  remains  committed to reducing debt levels and
further improving its financial flexibility during 2000.

To  facilitate  future fund raising  activities in the public  capital  markets,
management believes that it is prudent to maintain shelf registration  statement
capacity.  In this  regard,  United  Dominion  filed  such a shelf  registration
statement in December  1999  providing for the issuance of up to $700 million in
common shares, preferred shares and debt securities.

During the second quarter of 2000,  United Dominion plans to establish a program
for the sale of up to $200 million  aggregate  principal  amount of  medium-term
notes.  The amount and timing of sales of  medium-term  notes will  depend  upon
market  conditions  and the  company's  needs for  additional  financing.  It is
anticipated  that the proceeds of any such sales would be used to repay  certain
secured and unsecured debt and for other general corporate purposes.

United  Dominion has no significant  maturities of debt until the fourth quarter
of 2000 at which  time  approximately  $146  million of  unsecured  debt and $29
million of secured  debt will mature.  Management  expects to repay the maturing
unsecured debt using proceeds from the company's disposition program or proceeds
from the sale of  medium-term  notes,  and  expects to  refinance  the  maturing
secured debt with debt of similar  characteristics at the then prevailing market
rates.  The following table outlines United  Dominion's debt maturities over the
next five years (dollars in thousands):

(a)   Includes  $193.7  million of unsecured  bank debt - See  discussion  under
      Unsecured Credit Facilities that follows.

The following  discussion explains the changes in net cash provided by operating
activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash used in financing
activities which are presented in United Dominion's  Consolidated  Statements of
Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, United Dominion's cash flow from operating
activities was $48.9 million  compared to $26.0 million for the same period last
year. The increase was primarily due to the larger payment of accrued  operating
expenses  during the first  quarter of 1999,  a portion of which  related to the
payment  of  expenses   accrued  in  connection  with  the  American   Apartment
Communities II merger which occurred on December 7, 1998.

Investing Activities

For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net cash used in investing  activities was
$4.2 million compared to $47.8 million for the same period last year, a decrease
of $43.6 million.  Changes in the level of investing  activities  from period to
period reflect the changing  levels of United  Dominion's  acquisition,  capital
expenditure,  development and disposition programs, as well as the impact of the
capital  market   environment  on  these  activities.   The  decrease  in  these
expenditures  reflect  decreased  acquisition and capital  expenditure  activity
coupled  with  increased  disposition  activity.  The  decrease  in  acquisition
activity is a result of a change in  investment  focus  toward  higher  yielding
development  opportunities as well as plans to improve our financial flexibility
by using disposition proceeds to repay debt and repurchase preferred stock.

Disposition of Investments

United  Dominion  selectively  disposes of assets that are not in core  markets,
have a lower net operating  income growth rate than the overall  portfolio or no
longer meet the operating and investment strategies of United Dominion.

During the first quarter of 2000, United Dominion sold four communities with 727
apartment  homes and one  commercial  property for an  aggregate  sales price of
$28.4  million and  recognized  gains for financial  reporting  purposes of $2.5
million. Proceeds from the disposition program were primarily used to strengthen
the  balance  sheet by  paying  down  debt and  repurchasing  shares  of  United
Dominion's preferred stock.

Subsequent  to March 31, 2000,  United  Dominion  sold one  community  for $10.7
million.  In addition,  United Dominion has entered into contracts or letters of
intent to sell 21  communities  and one  parcel of land for an  aggregate  sales
price of approximately $195 million. For financial reporting purposes, aggregate
gains on the sales of  investments  are expected to be in excess of $30 million.
The  transactions  are expected to close during the second and third quarters of
2000;  however,  there  can be no  assurance  that  these  transactions  will be
consummated as planned.

At March 31, 2000, United Dominion had 43 communities with 8,602 apartment homes
and four  commercial  properties  included in real  estate held for  disposition
totaling  $291.2 million.  Certain assets are secured by mortgage  indebtedness,
which may be assumed by the purchaser or repaid from the net proceeds.  Property
operating  income from these  communities  was $8.4 million and $8.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively.  Properties  held
for disposition are expected to be sold within the next twelve months.

Real Estate under Development

Development  activity  is  focused  in core  markets  that  have  locally  based
development teams and strong operations  managers in place. For the three months
ended March 31, 2000,  United  Dominion  invested  $19.7 million on  development
projects, including the acquisition of land.

In the first quarter,  United  Dominion  completed the  development of Ashton at
Waterford Lakes, a 292 apartment home community located in Orlando,  Florida for
an aggregate  investment of $21.0  million.  At March 31, 2000, the community is
75% leased with expected  stabilized  occupancy to occur in the third quarter of
2000.

</TABLE>
In addition to the apartment homes under  development at March 31, 2000,  United
Dominion  has land held for future  development  with a carrying  value of $32.6
million.

United Dominion is in the final stages of completing a development joint venture
with a financial  institution.  Upon  completion,  which is expected  during the
second quarter,  the company will transfer to the joint venture five communities
currently  included  in real estate  under  development.  By forming  this joint
venture,  United Dominion  expects to reduce capital outlays for its development
activities and generate fee income by providing  development,  construction  and
property management services to the joint venture.

Capital Expenditures

United Dominion  capitalizes those expenditures related to acquiring new assets,
materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially  extending
the useful  life of an existing  asset.  Expenditures  necessary  to maintain an
existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2000,  $7.4 million or $94 per home was spent on
capital  expenditures for United Dominion's same communities  (those acquired or
developed  prior to  January  1,  1999).  These  capital  improvements  included
recurring  capital  expenditures,  including  floor  coverings,  HVAC equipment,
roofs,  appliances,  landscaping,  siding,  parking  lots and other  non-revenue
enhancing capital  expenditures,  which aggregated $4.3 million or $54 per home.
In addition,  non-recurring / revenue enhancing capital expenditures,  including
water  sub-metering,  gating and access  systems,  the additions of  microwaves,
washer-dryers,  interior  upgrades and new business and fitness  centers totaled
$3.1  million  or $40 per home for the  quarter  ended  March 31,  2000.  United
Dominion will continue to selectively add revenue-enhancing improvements,  which
are budgeted to provide a high return on investment. Capital expenditures during
2000 are currently expected to be at levels somewhat below the levels in 1999.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in  financing  activities  during the three months ended March 31,
2000 was $46.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing  activities of
$22.8  million for the same period last year.  During the first quarter of 2000,
as part of its plan to improve its balance sheet position,  United Dominion used
85% of the  proceeds  from  its  disposition  program  to pay down  secured  and
unsecured debt and to repurchase shares of preferred stock.

During the first quarter of 2000,  United Dominion issued $100 million of 8.625%
unsecured  notes due 2003.  Net proceeds  received of $99.5 million were used to
repay  outstanding  bank  debt.  In  addition,  United  Dominion  completed  the
refinancing of tax-exempt notes  aggregating  $46.7 million at a blended rate of
6.32%  and with a final  maturity  of  August  2008.  In  conjunction  with this
refinancing,  the company  removed the liens on $86 million of real estate which
had previously secured the tax-exempt notes.


                                       14
<PAGE>

Using proceeds from its disposition  program,  United Dominion  repurchased $3.9
million of certain of its higher rate outstanding unsecured debt with a weighted
average yield of 8.7%. In addition, the company was relieved of $10.0 million of
mortgage debt and $3.7 million of revolving  bank debt.  During the remainder of
the year,  United  Dominion  expects  to make  further  debt  reductions  as the
disposition  activity  increases  and proceeds are expected to be received  from
contributing development projects to the joint venture.

United  Dominion  issued  445,680  shares of its common stock and received  $4.3
million under its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan during the first
three months of 2000.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, United Dominion paid  distributions to its
common  shareholders and unitholders in its operating  partnerships  aggregating
$29.3 million.  The distribution to common shareholders and holders of operating
partnership  units  equates  to a dividend  rate of $1.07 per share or unit.  In
addition,  $9.4  million of preferred  dividends  were paid to Series A, B and D
preferred shareholders.

In 1999, the Board of Directors  approved the repurchase of up to $25 million of
United  Dominion's Series A and Series B Cumulative  Redeemable  Preferred Stock
from time to time as market conditions  permit.  For the quarter ended March 31,
2000, United Dominion repurchased 17,840 Series A preferred shares at an average
price of $20.55 per share and  26,925  Series B  preferred  shares at an average
price of $19.25  per  share.  Subsequent  to March  31,  2000,  United  Dominion
repurchased  324,716 Series B preferred shares at an average price of $18.50 per
share.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

United  Dominion  has a  $200  million  three-year  unsecured  revolving  credit
facility  (the "Bank Credit  Facility")  which expires in August 2000 and a $110
million  one-year  unsecured line of credit (the "Line of Credit") which expires
in August 2000 that are provided by a consortium of banks. Under the Bank Credit
Facility, pricing is based upon the higher of United Dominion's senior unsecured
debt ratings from Standard & Poor's  Corporation and Moody's  Investor  Services
that are currently BBB and Baa2, respectively.  At these rating levels, interest
under the Bank Credit  Facility is LIBOR plus 0.50% and interest  under the Line
of Credit is LIBOR  plus 1.0%.  However,  these  rates are  subject to change as
United  Dominion's  credit ratings change. At March 31, 2000, $193.7 million was
outstanding under these credit  facilities  leaving $116.3 million available for
use.

The Bank Credit  Facility and Line of Credit are subject to customary  financial
covenants and limitations.

United Dominion is negotiating a successor  unsecured  revolving credit facility
with a  consortium  of banks.  The  successor  facility is  anticipated  to be a
three-year facility that will replace both the Bank Credit Facility and the Line
of Credit  for an  aggregate  amount  greater  than the $310  million  currently
available.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations  ("FFO") is defined as net income  (computed in accordance
with generally accepted  accounting  principles),  excluding gains (losses) from
sales of property,  plus real estate  depreciation and  amortization,  and after
adjustments for unconsolidated  partnerships and joint ventures. United Dominion
computes FFO for all periods  presented in accordance  with the  recommendations
set  forth  by  the  National  Association  of  Real  Estate  Investment  Trusts
("NAREIT")  October  1, 1999  White  Paper.  United  Dominion  considers  FFO in
evaluating  property  acquisitions and its operating  performance,  and believes
that FFO should be  considered  along with,  but not as an  alternative  to, net
income and cash flows as a measure of United  Dominion's  operating  performance
and liquidity.  FFO 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.

Apartment Community Operations

During the first  quarter  of 2000,  all  community  property  operating  income
increased $1.5 million or 1.6%. The strong increase in property operating income
generated from our same community  portfolio was partially offset by the loss of
property  operating  income as a result  of the  Company's  disposition  program
during the past several years.

United Dominion's same communities  (those communities  acquired,  developed and
stabilized  prior to January 1, 1999 and held on January 1, 2000)  provided  95%
and 93% of its  property  operating  income for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999,  respectively.  During the first quarter of 2000,  same community
property  operating  income increased 4.7% or $4.1 million compared to the first
quarter of 1999. The growth in property operating income resulted from a 4.1% or
$5.8 million  increase in property rental income for the same  communities  over
the same period in the prior year.  The increase was primarily  driven by a 1.4%
increase in physical  occupancy  coupled with a 2.6% increase in average monthly
rental rates. During this same period, property operating expenses at these same
communities  increased 3.1%, or $1.7 million. The increase in property operating
expenses  was  primarily  due to (i) an increase in real estate  taxes which are
being  accrued  at  higher  rates in 2000 on the  $1.4  billion  of real  estate
acquired in 1998 in anticipation of property  reassessment,  (ii) an increase in
casualty  insurance  costs largely as a result of hurricane  losses  incurred in
North  Carolina  over the past five years,  and (iii) an  increase in  personnel
costs,  primarily in the service area due to higher wages and healthcare  costs.
As a result of the increase in property rental income  exceeding the increase in
property  operating  expenses,  the operating margin (property  operating income
divided by property  rental  income) at the same  communities  improved  0.4% to
61.6%.



                                       16
<PAGE>

The remaining 5% of United Dominion's property operating income during the first
quarter of 2000 was generated from its non-mature communities (those communities
acquired and developed  during 1999 and the first quarter of 2000).  Compared to
the same period last year,  additional property operating income of $2.1 million
was  generated  by the  successful  lease-up  of United  Dominion's  development
communities  which included 1,806 apartment homes  constructed  since January 1,
1999. In addition,  the five  communities with 1,230 apartment homes acquired by
United  Dominion  during 1999  provided an  additional  $1.4 million of property
operating income over the first quarter of 1999.

The $7.6  million  increase in property  operating  income  provided by the same
communities,  development  communities and acquisition communities was offset by
the loss of $6.1 million of property  operating  income due to the sale of 7,443
apartment homes for an aggregate sales price of $241.2 million during 1999. As a
result of United Dominion's  disposition program, the weighted average number of
apartment homes declined 5.9% from the first quarter of 1999.

Real Estate Depreciation

Real estate  depreciation  increased  $4.5 million or 15.4% for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 over the same period last year.  This increase is primarily
attributable  to two  factors:  (i) the  catch  up of  depreciation  expense  on
communities  transferred  from held for  disposition  to held for investment and
(ii) the impact of completed  development  communities on  depreciation  expense
during the first quarter of 2000.

Interest Expense

Interest expense  increased  $996,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
over the same  period  last  year as a result  of a lower  level of  capitalized
interest  during  the first  quarter  of 2000.  Although  the  weighted  average
interest  rate on the debt held by the company was  slightly  higher than it was
during the same period last year,  increasing from 7.4% in 1999 to 7.5% in 2000,
the weighted  average debt  outstanding  decreased  from $2.2 billion in 1999 to
$2.1 billion in 2000. The weighted  average amount of debt employed  during 2000
was lower as disposition  proceeds were used to repay  outstanding debt. For the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and March 31, 1999, total interest capitalized
was $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

General and Administrative

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, general and  administrative  expenses
increased  $394,000,  or 11.3%,  over 1999,  reflecting a full year's  impact of
United  Dominion's  investment in professional  staff,  technology and scaleable
accounting and information systems and the effect of additional  franchise taxes
in Tennessee as a result of a change in the state law regarding franchise taxes.

Inflation

United  Dominion  believes  that the  direct  effects  of  inflation  on  United
Dominion's operations have been inconsequential.

Information Technology

United Dominion is currently engaged in the development of an innovative on-site
property  management  system (the  "system")  to enable  management  to capture,
review and analyze  data to a greater  extent than is possible  using  available
existing  commercial  software.  United  Dominion  believes  the new system will
enable  it to  become  a  more  efficient  provider  of a  high  quality  living
environment for its residents,  and provide the scalability necessary to support
future growth. These development  activities are being conducted through a joint
venture with another public  multifamily real estate  investment  trust. A third
multifamily  real estate  investment  trust  announced its intention to become a
participant  in the joint  venture,  which is  expected  to occur in the  second
quarter of 2000.

The system  development  process is currently managed by the employees of United
Dominion and its joint  venture  partner who have  significant  related  project
management experience. The actual programming and documentation of the system is
being conducted by employees and third party  consultants  under the supervision
of these experienced project managers.



                                       17
<PAGE>

Current  projections  indicate  that total  development  costs over a three-year
period  will  be  approximately  $7.5  million  (including  hardware  costs  and
expenses, the costs of employees and related overhead, and the costs of engaging
third party  consultants) and that such  development  costs will be shared on an
equal basis by the joint venture partners.  Once developed,  the system would be
used in place of current  property  management  information  systems for which a
license fee is paid to third parties.

The system is  currently  projected  to undergo an on-site  test (i.e.,  a "beta
test")  during the third  quarter of 2000 and the system should be functional by
the fourth quarter of 2000.

Neither  United  Dominion nor its joint venture  partner has been engaged in the
development of systems  software.  There are several risks  associated  with the
development  of the system for  internal  use,  such as:  (i) the  inability  to
maintain the schedule or budget that has been projected for the  development and
implementation  of  the  software,   and  (ii)  the  system  may  not  have  the
functionality and efficiencies desired.

Taxable REIT Subsidiary

In December  1999, the REIT  Modernization  Act ("RMA") was signed into law. The
RMA contains several  provisions that, when effective in 2001, will allow REIT's
to compete more  effectively in the real estate  industry by allowing  REIT's to
offer the same types of services as other  competitors in the  marketplace.  The
most  important  feature  of the RMA is the  allowance  for  REIT's  to create a
taxable  REIT  subsidiary  ("TRS") that can provide  services to  residents  and
others without  disqualifying the rents that a REIT receives from its residents.
REIT's will be allowed,  through a TRS, to provide a wide range of  increasingly
important services that residents have come to expect. In addition, the TRS will
allow REIT's to generate new sources of income for REIT shareholders.

Effective  January 1, 2001, a REIT can own 100% of the stock of a TRS.  However,
the  legislation  contains a number of safeguards that would limit the size of a
TRS to ensure that REIT's  remain  focused on their core  business of owning and
operating  real  estate  assets.  Furthermore,   the  RMA  changes  the  minimum
distribution requirement from 95% to 90% of the REIT's taxable income. This will
allow REIT's to retain a greater  level of capital,  which can be used to invest
back into  expenditures  to maintain the quality of their real estate  assets as
well as repay outstanding debt.
