                 FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND QUALIFICATIONS

  In addition to historical information, this document contains forward-looking
statements under the federal securities law.  These statements are based on
current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets
in which Archstone operates, management's beliefs and assumptions made by

performance.

  This presentation contains projections and statements regarding trends in the
real estate industry which exist as of today.  By their nature, there can be no

different conclusions from these trends.  This report includes data and
projections prepared by third parties.  Archstone does not endorse or confirm
such data and projections and is not suggesting that the sources of those
projections are experts.  Additional cautions apply to data and projections

accurate at any particular point in time in the future.

Capital allocation

Relentless focus on intelligent investments

 .    Key point of differentiation for truly great companies
     .    Archstone began recycling capital long before equity markets closed to
          REITs
     .    Measure, report and reward accordingly

 .    Value creation defines long-term success
     .  Focus on long-term gains, not short-term accretion

 .    National presence in protected markets
     .  Core investments in supply-constrained markets with strong economies
     .  Opportunistic investments in high-growth, liquid markets

                                      10
<PAGE>

Apartments are a very attractive investment

 .  Housing is a necessity

 .  In Archstone's protected markets, demand is 2 to 3 times supply

 .  Operating margins are 60% to 70%

                                      11

Investment acumen

Archstone has made the right moves

 .  Conventional wisdom typically produces mediocre returns

 .  Making the right investment decisions can invite criticism, but the value
creation can be tremendous


 .  Timely decisions
   .  1995:  Aggressively investing in California
   .  1996:  Selling Dallas/Phoenix
   .  1997:  Selling Houston
   .  1998:  Investing in Atlanta, Washington, D.C. and Boston
   .  Controlling land early in the cycle in target markets

REVENUE MANAGEMENT AND ONLINE LEASE
Hosted by Dan Amedro, Chief Information Officer; Dana Hamilton, National
Operations; Dan Ogden, East Region Operations; and Dennis Littlewood,
Information Technology

Revenue Management
Based on techniques employed successfully in the airline and hospitality
industries, revenue management will enable Archstone to more accurately analyze
and forecast future customer demand to optimize pricing for its apartments.
Archstone approached Talus Solutions, a leading global provider of revenue
management software products and services, to develop a software solution that
would help Archstone establish leasing rates that would maximize revenues.
Archstone contributed to the business model design and functionality of Lease
Rent Optimizer(TM), which the revenue management software product is called, by
sharing its industry acumen and actual leasing data. This allowed Talus
Solutions to apply its highly successful revenue management concepts for the
first time to the apartment industry. Archstone began testing Lease Rent
Optimizer in November at its Denver communities and expects full portfolio
implementation by year-end 2001.

   Expected benefits of Revenue Management include:

 .  Efficiently matches consumer buying behavior with available inventory to
   maximize revenues

 .  Improves forecasting accuracy by retaining knowledge and predicting behavior
   (move outs, renewals, etc.)

 .  Analyzes all supply and demand variables at levels of detail far too
   difficult to compile manually

 .  Provides Archstone with a tool to:

 .  Monitor and manage field pricing actions

 .  Develop and measure effectiveness of new marketing programs and promotions

Online Lease
With Archstone's Online Lease, prospective Archstone residents will be able to
search for an apartment, review real-time availability and pricing, have their
credit approved and complete a lease transaction--all with a few clicks of the
mouse. Archstone believes it is the first company in the industry to offer such
a service to its customers. In addition to prospective residents, Archstone
associates will also use Online Lease, creating tremendous efficiencies by
virtually eliminating paperwork, easing on-site administrative duties, and
enhancing the company's consolidated reporting capabilities. Online Lease is
currently in testing at Archstone's Denver communities, and is expected to be
fully implemented portfolio-wide by the year-end 2001.

Expected benefits of Online Lease include:

 .  Significantly reduces paperwork at the communities

 .  Enhances data collection and consolidated management reporting

 .  Allows our customers another way to access us when--and how--they want:

   .  In person

   .  Through our Customer Service Connection

   .  Online 24/7

 .  Facilitates intra-Archstone transfers and lease renewals

 .  Streamlines Archstone's entire leasing process to make it as easy as possible
   for our customers to do business with us--online and offline

 .  Reduces the leasing process to less than 15 minutes

THE ARCHSTONE BRAND
Hosted by Toni Lopez, East Region Operations
More than a name and a logo, the Archstone Brand ensures the consistent delivery
of superior customer service, improves customer satisfaction, unifies our
associates and enhances our operations. The exposition features all of
Archstone's marketing materials and advertising, as well as current Brand
Metrics that indicate the brand is making an impact among our customers:

                                      50
<PAGE>

Brand metrics:

 .  Overall satisfaction rating of 88%*

 .  86% of residents would recommend Archstone as a place to live*

 .  706 residents took advantage of the Archstone Relocation Guarantee during the
   quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to 1,912 residents

   * based on 2,204 total comment card respondents in the 3Q 2000


ARCHPAY, ARCHPLAN AND ARCHCARD
Hosted by William Kell, Controller
Web-enabled accounts payable, budgeting/forecasting and purchase card reporting
systems allow Archstone's accounting group to work smarter, not harder. Benefits
of incorporating technology into the accounting function include:

ArchPay: Web-enabled accounts payable system

 .  Automated work flow speeds vendor payment

 .  Eliminates paper shuffling

 .  Provides immediate access to real-time cost and budget detail

 .  Centralized database enhances internal control and payment accuracy

 .  Estimated annual savings of $500,000

ArchPlan: Web-enabled budget forecasting tool

 .  Online national access facilitates budget communication and review

 .  Provides global assumption and mass-change capabilities

 .  Standardized reporting across the portfolio

 .  Instantaneous consolidation

 .  Forecasts reflect most current actual results

ArchCard: Web-enabled purchase card (P-Card) reporting system

 .  Online statements reduce paper flow, cost and labor expense

 .  Statements are available every week

 .  P-Card charges are automatically reconciled to the general ledger

 .  Enhanced capabilities encourage greater use of P-Cards, which lowers accounts
   payable processing costs and speeds payment to vendors

MAKING THE SEAL REAL
Hosted by Joseph Durzo, National Training and Development; and Thomas Klaess,
East Region Operations
Delivering on Archstone's brand promise--providing exceptional customer service
through its Seal of Service(SM) guarantees--is the cornerstone of our operations
strategy. Archstone helps its associates to deliver on this promise through
training tools and systems and customer support. In this portion of the
exposition, Archstone features its Service Training program, enhanced New-hire
Orientation, and Training Communities--a mentor-ship training program through
which new Archstone associates work in an operating community to give superior
customer service from the first day they interact with customers.

Also featured is Operations Simulation, a new training tool that coaches
Archstone's community managers to develop strategies, apply judgement, take
intelligent risks and respond quickly to change. Simulating a "virtual
dashboard" for community operations, the Simulation takes all the variables
under a community manager's control--such as staffing, marketing, and pricing--
and lets them experiment with different strategies to achieve the best financial
outcome. This program was launched in October 2000 and is being implemented
portfolio-wide.

Hosted by Jeffry Jones, President, AMERITON Properties Incorporated; Glenn Rand,
President, Archstone Management Services, Inc.; and Carrie Brower, General
Counsel

and operations expertise to other apartment owners.

CREATING A RETAIL EXPERIENCE
Hosted by Capey Lester, East Region Operations
At Archstone Tyvola, a new development community in Charlotte, N.C., the
traditional community clubhouse has been transformed into a dynamic sales
environment that supports the Archstone brand, improves sales effectiveness and
provides operational efficiencies. Enhancing the aesthetics and utility of
clubhouse space for the same cost as a traditional leasing office and clubhouse,
Tyvola creates a self-sell sales experience that begins the moment a customer
walks in the door. Benefits of adopting a retail environment for apartment
leasing include:

The retail environment improves the sales process

 .  Facilitates the delivery of information that is critical to the customer's
   decision-making process

 .  Maximizes marketing appeal

 .  Proactively integrates technology into the leasing office

 .  Supports Archstone's web-enabled Online Lease

Provides excellent brand recognition

 .  Reinforces the brand promise and service offering in a visceral manner

 .  Transforms brand attributes into a functional retail experience

 .  Cohesive use of colors, brand registration and marketing materials gives
   Archstone a distinct look and feel, different from the competition

                                     * * *

   Footnotes:

(1)  Total Investment. For development communities, represents the total
     expected investment at completion; for operating communities, represents
     the total expected investment plus planned capital expenditures.

(2)  Yield. Net operating income divided by total investment. Net operating
     income is calculated as rental revenues less rental expenses and real
     estate taxes.

(3)  Value Created. Defined here as market value, based on projected yields and
     management's estimates of capitalization rates, less Total Investment.

(4)  Lease-up. The phase during which newly constructed apartments are being
     leased for the first time, but prior to the community become Stabilized.

(5)  Absorption. The number of units leased at a new development community under
     construction.

(6)  Stabilization. The classification assigned to an apartment community that
     has achieved 93% occupancy at market rents, and for which the
     redevelopment, new management and new marketing programs (or development
     and marketing in the case of a newly developed community) have been
     completed. This stabilization process takes up to 12 months except for
     major redevelopments, which could take longer.
