POST PROPERTIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


1.       ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

         ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

         Post Properties, Inc. (the "Company"), which was incorporated on
         January 25, 1984, is the successor by merger to the original Post
         Properties, Inc., which was formed in 1971. The Company was formed to
         develop, lease and manage upscale multi-family apartment communities.

         The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
         ("REIT") for Federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable
         year ended December 31, 1993. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real
         estate interests and, through payments of dividends to shareholders, in
         practical effect is not subject to Federal income taxes at the
         corporate level.

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by
         the Company's management in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
         required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
         financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
         (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered
         necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
         operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
         year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
         Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
         the Post Properties, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
         December 31, 1999. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to
         conform to the current year's financial statement presentation.

2.       NOTES PAYABLE

         Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") has
         established a program for the sale of up to $344,000 aggregate
         principal amount of Medium-Term Notes due three months or more from
         date of issue (the "MTN Program"). A $30,000 Medium Term Note was
         repaid on March 3, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Operating
         Partnership had $185,000 aggregate principal amount of notes
         outstanding under the MTN Program. On May 9, 2000, the Operating
         Partnership sold an additional $25,000 aggregate principal amount of
         notes under the MTN Program, and consequently currently has a total of
         $210,000 aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding under the MTN
         Program. Net proceeds of $24,875 were used to repay outstanding
         indebtedness.

3.       SALE OF ASSET AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

         During the first quarter of 2000, the Company authorized the sale of
         five communities, one community in Atlanta, Georgia, three communities
         in Jackson, Mississippi and one commercial property in Dallas, Texas.
         In February 2000, the Company sold the 213 unit community in Atlanta,
         Georgia for $32,350. Net proceeds of approximately $31,500 were used to
         pay down outstanding indebtedness. At March 31, 2000, the remaining
         four properties consisting of land, building and improvements and
         furniture, fixtures and equipment were recorded at the lower of cost or
         fair value less costs to sell of $50,471. The Company has recorded a
         gain on the sale of the Atlanta community, reduced by its best estimate
         of the effect of anticipated sales of the remaining properties in the
         statement of operations as net gain on the sale of assets of $767. The
         Company expects the sale of the remaining four properties to occur
         during the current fiscal year.

         The Company's consolidated statement of operations includes net income
         of $1,302 and $1,355 for the periods ending March 31, 2000 and 1999,
         respectively, from communities held for sale at March 31, 2000.
         Depreciation expense on these assets, which was not recognized
         subsequent to the date of held for sale classification, totaled $477
         for the three months ended March 31, 2000.

5.       SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

         Non-cash investing and financing activities for the three months ended
         March 31, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:

         During the three months ended March 31, 1999, holders of 750 units in
         the Operating Partnership exercised their option to convert their units
         to shares of Common Stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis. These
         conversions and adjustments for the dilutive impact of the Dividend
         Reinvestment and Employee Stock Purchase and Option Plans and capital
         transactions result in adjustments to minority interest. The net effect
         of the conversions and adjustments was a reclassification increasing
         minority interest and decreasing shareholder's equity in the amount of
         $269 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and decreasing minority
         interest and increasing shareholder's equity in the amount of $1,189
         for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

6.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

         On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). FAS 133,
         as amended by FAS 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS 133," is
         effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after
         June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the Company). FAS 133 requires that
         all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their
         fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
         period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
         whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and,
         if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Company
         anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the
         adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's
         results of operations or its financial position.

7.       SEGMENT INFORMATION

         SEGMENT DESCRIPTION

         The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About the Segments of an
         Enterprise and Related Information" in the fourth quarter of 1998. SFAS
         No. 131 requires companies to present segment information based on the
         way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for
         making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment
         information is prepared on substantially the same basis as the
         internally reported information used by the Company's chief operating
         decision makers to manage the business.

         The Company's chief operating decision makers focus on the Company's
         primary sources of income, which are property rental operations and
         third party services. Property rental operations are broken down into
         five segments

         based on the various stages in the property ownership lifecycle. Third
         party services are designated as one segment. The Company's six
         segments are further described as follows:

         Property Rental Operations

         -        Fully stabilized communities - those apartment communities
                  that have been stabilized (the point at which a property
                  reaches 95% occupancy or one year after completion of
                  construction) for both the current and prior year.

         -        Communities stabilized during 1999 - communities that reached
                  stabilized occupancy in the prior year.

         -        Development and lease up communities - those communities that
                  are in lease-up but were not stabilized by the beginning of
                  the current year, including communities that stabilized during
                  the current year.

         -        Communities held for sale - those communities that are
                  currently being actively marketed for sale.

         -        Sold communities - communities that were sold in the current
                  or prior year.

         Third Party Services - fee income and related expenses from the
         Company's apartment community management, landscaping and corporate
         apartment rental services.

         SEGMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURE

         Management uses contribution to funds from operations ("FFO") as the
         performance measure for its segments. Effective January 1, 2000, FFO is
         defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as
         net income available to common shareholders determined in accordance
         with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains
         (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus
         depreciation of real estate assets, and after adjustment for
         unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO should not be
         considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance
         with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial performance or to
         cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with
         GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily
         indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs.

         SEGMENT INFORMATION

         The following table reflects each segment's contribution to FFO
         together with a reconciliation of segment contribution to FFO, total
         FFO and income before extraordinary item and preferred dividends.
         Additionally, substantially all of the Company's assets relate to the
         Company's property rental operations. Asset cost, depreciation and
         amortization by segment are not presented because such information is
         not reported internally at the segment level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

     ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the
     "Operating Partnership"), a Georgia limited partnership, was formed on
     January 22, 1993, to conduct the business of developing, leasing and
     managing upscale multi-family apartment communities for Post Properties,
     Inc. (the "Company").

     The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT")
     for Federal income tax purposes beginning with the taxable year ended
     December 31, 1993. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate
     interests and, through payments of dividends to shareholders, in practical
     effect is not subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level.

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the
     Operating Partnership's management in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable
     rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
     required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
     statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only
     of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
     presentation have been included. The results of operations for the
     three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
     the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the Operating Partnership's
     audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Post
     Apartment Homes, L.P. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1999. Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified to conform
     to the current year's financial statement presentation.

2.   NOTES PAYABLE

     The Operating Partnership has established a program for the sale of up to
     $344,000 aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes due three months
     or more from date of issue (the "MTN Program"). A $30,000 Medium Term Note
     was repaid on March 3, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Operating
     Partnership had $185,000 aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding
     under the MTN Program. On May 9, 2000, the Operating Partnership sold an
     additional $25,000 aggregate principal amount of notes under the MTN
     Program, and consequently currently has a total of $210,000 aggregate
     principal amount of notes outstanding under the MTN Program. Net proceeds
     of $24,875 were used to repay outstanding indebtedness.

3.   SALE OF ASSET AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

     During the first quarter of 2000, the Operating Partnership authorized the
     sale of five communities, one community in Atlanta, Georgia, three
     communities in Jackson, Mississippi and one commercial property in Dallas,
     Texas. In February 2000, the Operating Partnership sold the 213 unit
     community in Atlanta, Georgia for $32,350. Net proceeds of approximately
     $31,500 were used to pay down outstanding indebtedness. At March 31, 2000,
     the remaining four properties consisting of land, building and improvements
     and furniture, fixtures and equipment were recorded at the lower of cost or
     fair value less costs to sell of $50,471. The Operating Partnership has
     recorded a gain on the sale of the Atlanta community, reduced by its best
     estimate of the effect of anticipated sales of the remaining properties in
     the statement of operations as net gain on the sale of assets of $767. The
     Operating Partnership expects the sale of the remaining four properties to
     occur during the current fiscal year.

     The Operating Partnership's consolidated statement of operations includes
     net income of $1,302 and $1,355 for the periods ending March 31, 2000 and
     1999, respectively, from communities held for sale at March 31, 2000.

     Depreciation expense on these assets, which was not recognized subsequent
     to the date of held for sale classification, totaled $477 for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000.

4.   EARNINGS PER UNIT

5.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

     On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
     Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). FAS 133, as
     amended by FAS 137, "Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS 133," is
     effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June
     15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the Operating Partnership). FAS 133 requires
     that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their
     fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
     period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on
     whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if
     it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Operating
     Partnership anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative
     instruments, the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on
     the Operating Partnership's results of operations or its financial
     position.

6.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

     SEGMENT DESCRIPTION
     The Operating Partnership adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure About the
     Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" in the fourth quarter of
     1998. SFAS No. 131 requires companies to present segment information based
     on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for
     making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment
     information is prepared on substantially the same basis as the internally
     reported information used by the Operating Partnership's chief operating
     decision-makers to manage the business.

     The Operating Partnership's chief operating decision-makers focus on the
     Operating Partnership's primary sources of income, which are property
     rental operations and third party services. Property rental operations are
     broken down into five segments based on the various stages in the property
     ownership lifecycle. Third party services are designated as one segment.
     The Operating Partnership's six segments are further described as follows:

     Property Rental Operations

     -   Fully stabilized communities - those apartment communities that have
         been stabilized (the point in time which a property reached 95%
         occupancy or one year after completion of construction) for both the
         current and prior year.

     -   Communities stabilized during 1999 - communities that reached
         stabilized occupancy in the prior year.

     -   Development and lease up communities - those communities that are in
         lease-up but were not stabilized by the beginning of the current year
         including communities that stabilized during the current year.

     -   Communities held for sale - those communities that are currently being
         actively marketed for sale.

     -   Sold communities - communities that were sold in the current or prior
         year.

     Third Party Services - fee income and related expenses from the Operating
     Partnership's apartment community management, landscaping and corporate
     apartment rental services.

     SEGMENT PERFORMANCE MEASURE
     Management uses contribution to funds from operations ("FFO") as the
     performance measure for its segments. Effective January 1, 2000, FFO is
     defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net
     income available to common unitholders determined in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or
     losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation of
     real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships
     and joint ventures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net
     income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the
     Operating Partnership's financial performance or to cash flow from
     operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
     the Operating Partnership's liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of
     sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Operating Partnership's needs.

     SEGMENT INFORMATION
     The following table reflects each segment's contribution to FFO together
     with a reconciliation of segment contribution to FFO, total FFO and income
     before extraordinary item. Additionally, substantially all of the Operating
     Partnership's assets relate to the Operating Partnership's property rental
     operations. Asset cost, depreciation and amortization by segment are not
     presented because such information is not reported internally at the
     segment level.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT APARTMENT UNIT DATA)


ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the financial
statements appearing elsewhere in this report. The following discussion is based
primarily on the Consolidated Financial Statements of Post Properties, Inc. (the
"Company") and Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). Except
for the effect of minority interest in the Operating Partnership, the following
discussion with respect to the Company is the same for the Operating
Partnership.

As of March 31, 2000, there were 44,308,906 common units in the Operating
Partnership outstanding, of which 39,115,481, or 88.3%, were owned by the
Company and 5,193,425, or 11.7%, were owned by other limited partners (including
certain officers and directors of the Company). As of March 31, 2000, there were
7,800,000 preferred units outstanding, of which 5,000,000 were owned by the
Company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

The Company recorded net income available to common shareholders of $24,964 for
the three months ended March 31, 2000. This represents an increase of 16.5% over
the corresponding period in 1999 primarily as a result of additional units
placed in service through the development of new communities and increases in
rental rates on existing units.

COMMUNITY OPERATIONS

The Company's net income is generated primarily from the operation of its
apartment communities. For purposes of evaluating comparative operating
performance, the Company categorizes its operating communities based on the
period each community reaches stabilized occupancy. A community is generally
considered by the Company to have achieved stabilized occupancy on the earlier
to occur of (i) attainment of 95% physical occupancy on the first day of any
month or (ii) one year after completion of construction.

As of March 31, 2000, the Company's portfolio of apartment communities consisted
of the following: (i) 71 communities which were completed and stabilized for all
of the current and prior year, (ii) 11 communities which achieved full
stabilization during the prior year and (iii) 18 communities which either
stabilized in the current year or are presently in the development or lease-up
stages.

For communities with respect to which construction is completed and the
community has become fully operational, all property operating and maintenance
expenses are expensed as incurred and those recurring and non-recurring
expenditures relating to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of
an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing
asset are capitalized. (See "Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community
Improvements").

Since its inception, the Company has applied an accounting policy related to
communities in the development and lease-up stage whereby substantially all
operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing expenses) are expensed as
incurred. The Company treats each unit in an apartment community separately for
cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the
commencement of leasing activities, interest and other construction costs are
capitalized and reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress. Once
a unit is placed in service, all operating expenses allocated to that unit,
including interest, are expensed as incurred. During the lease-up phase, the sum
of interest expense on completed units and other operating expenses (including
pre-opening marketing expenses) will typically exceed rental revenues, resulting
in a "lease-up deficit," which continues until such time as rental revenues
exceed such expenses. Lease up deficits for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999 were $852 and $409, respectively.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT APARTMENT UNIT DATA)

In order to evaluate the operating performance of its communities, the Company
has presented financial information, which summarizes the operating income on a
comparative basis, for all of its operating communities combined and for
communities which have reached stabilization prior to January 1, 1999.

ALL OPERATING COMMUNITIES

The operating performance for all of the Company's apartment communities
combined for the three months ended March 31, 2000 is summarized as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT APARTMENT UNIT DATA)

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, rental and other revenue increased
$13,668, or 17.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily as a
result of the completion of new communities and increased rental rates for
existing communities. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, property
operating and maintenance expenses increased $4,282, or 16.2%, compared to the
same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the completion of new
communities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, recurring capital expenditures
increased $65, or 3.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily
due to the completion of new communities and the timing of capital expenditures.
On a per unit basis, recurring capital expenditures decreased $2, or 3.1%.

(4)  Average economic occupancy is defined as gross potential rent less vacancy
     losses, model expenses and bad debt divided by gross potential rent for the
     period, expressed as a percentage. The calculation of average economic
     occupancy does not include a deduction for concessions and employee
     discounts. Average economic occupancy, including these amounts would have
     been 94.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2000. For the three months
     ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, concessions were $1,163 and $658,
     respectively, and employee discounts were $262 and $149, respectively.
(5)  Average monthly rental rate is defined as the average of the gross actual
     rates for occupied units and the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied
     units.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, rental and other revenue increased
$2,761, or 4.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to
increased rental rates. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, property
operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization)
increased $629, or 3.5%, compared to the same period in the prior year,
primarily as a result of increased personnel and property tax expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2000, recurring capital expenditures per
unit increased $4, or 7.7%, as a result of the timing of expenditures.

The decrease in revenue in excess of specified expense for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily
attributable to the management of more communities in lease-up phases as a
result of turnover in management contracts.

</TABLE>

The increase in landscape services and other revenue and landscape services
expense for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in
1999 is primarily due to increases in landscape contracts. The increase in
depreciation expense is primarily due the additions of vehicles and equipment.

OTHER EXPENSES

Depreciation expense increased $4,295, or 33.8%, for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a
result of an increase in units in service, additional leasehold improvements and
technology expenditures.

General and administrative expense increased $114, or 4.8%, for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as
a result of an increase in personnel costs.

The extraordinary item of $458 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, net of
minority interest portion, was due to the write off of loan costs resulting from
the early extinguishment of debt.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities decreased from $42,682
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $42,360 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, principally due to an increase in other assets related to tax
increment financing receivables associated with public and private development
projects. Net cash used in investing activities decreased from $74,386 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 to $60,387 for the three months ended March
31, 2000, principally due to proceeds from the sale of one community in February
2000. The Company's net cash provided by financing activities decreased from
$41,525 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $31,500 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, primarily due to increased debt payments offset by
borrowings on the Company's lines of credit.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT")
under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993. REITs are subject to a
number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement
that they currently distribute 95% of their ordinary taxable income. The Company
generally will not be subject to Federal income tax on net income.

At March 31, 2000, the Company had total indebtedness of $1,046,847, an increase
of $57,264 from its total indebtedness at December 31, 1999, and cash and cash
equivalents of $19,343. At March 31, 2000, the Company's indebtedness included
approximately $178,967 in conventional mortgages payable secured by individual
communities, tax-exempt bond indebtedness of $235,880, senior unsecured notes of
$360,000, borrowings under the Revolver of $265,000 and other unsecured lines of
credit and unsecured debt of $7,000.

The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally
through its net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit
arrangements and expects to meet certain of its long-term liquidity
requirements, such as scheduled debt maturities, repayment of financing of
construction and development activities, and possible property acquisitions,
through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings and the issuance of debt
securities or additional equity securities of the Company, sales of communities,
or possibly in connection with acquisitions of land or improved properties,
units of the Operating Partnership. The Company believes that its net cash
provided by operations will be adequate and anticipates that it will continue to
be adequate to meet both operating requirements and payment of dividends by the
Company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short and the long
term. The budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations to certain of
the communities are expected to be funded from property operations.

Lines Of Credit
During the quarter, the Operating Partnership extended the maturity date on its
syndicated unsecured line of credit (the "Revolver") by one year to April 30,
2003. Borrowing under the Revolver bears interest at LIBOR plus .825% or prime
minus .25%. Also, during the quarter, the Company reached an agreement with a
syndicated group of banks for an

incremental $200 million, 364 day facility at terms equal to the Revolver. At
March 31, 2000, there was $265,000 outstanding under the Revolver and $5,000
outstanding under other lines of credit.

Medium Term Notes
The Operating Partnership has established a program for the sale of up to
$344,000 aggregate principal amount of Medium Term Notes due three months or
more from date of issue (the "MTN Program"). A $30,000 Medium Term Note was
repaid on March 3, 2000. As of March 31, 2000, the Operating Partnership had
$185,000 aggregate principle amount of notes outstanding under the MTN Program.
On May 9, 2000, the Operating Partnership sold an additional $25,000 aggregate
principal amount of notes under the MTN Program and, consequently, currently has
a total of $210,000 aggregate principal amount of notes outstanding under the
MTN Program. Net proceeds of $24,875 were used to repay outstanding
indebtedness.

The Company is also currently conducting feasibility and other pre-development
studies for possible new Post(R) communities in its primary market areas.

Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community Improvements
The Company has established a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating
to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or
substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset. All expenditures
necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed
as incurred. During the first five years of a community (which corresponds to
the estimated depreciable life), carpet replacements are expensed as incurred.
Thereafter, carpet replacements are capitalized.

INFLATION

Substantially all of the leases at the communities allow, at the time of
renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable the
Company to seek increases in rents. The substantial majority of these leases are
for one year or less and the remaining leases are for up to two years. At the
expiration of a lease term, the Company's lease agreements provide that the term
will be extended unless either the Company or the lessee gives at least sixty
(60) days written notice of termination; in addition, the Company's policy
permits the earlier termination of a lease by a lessee upon thirty (30) days
written notice to the Company and the payment of one month's additional rent as
compensation for early termination. The short-term nature of these leases
generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effect of
inflation.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

On June 15, 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133). FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137,
"Deferral of the Effective Date of FAS 133," is effective for all fiscal
quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for
the Company). FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on
the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value derivatives are
recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Company
anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption
of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Company's results of
operations or its financial position.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT APARTMENT UNIT DATA)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND CASH AVAILABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION

Historical Funds from Operations
The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure of
performance of an equity REIT. Effective January 1, 2000, funds from operations
is defined to mean net income (loss) available to common shareholders determined
in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and
extraordinary items determined in accordance with GAAP, plus depreciation of
real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and
joint ventures. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial
performance or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it necessarily
indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company's needs. Cash
available for distribution ("CAD") is defined as FFO less capital expenditures
funded by operations and loan amortization payments. The Company believes that
in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical
operating results of the Company, FFO and CAD should be examined in conjunction
with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements and data
included elsewhere in this report.

FFO and CAD for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 presented on a
historical basis are summarized in the following table:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT APARTMENT UNIT DATA)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(2)      The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment
         Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO. Effective January 1, 2000, NAREIT
         amended its definition of FFO to include in FFO all non-recurring
         transactions, except those that are defined as extraordinary under
         generally accepted accounting principles. The Company adopted this new
         definition effective January 1, 2000. FFO for any period means the
         Consolidated Net Income of the Company and its subsidiaries for such
         period excluding gains or losses from debt restructuring and sales of
         property plus depreciation of real estate assets, and after adjustment
         for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, all determined on a
         consistent basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles. FFO presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO
         presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all
         real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's
         FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the
         current NAREIT definition.
(3)      Recurring capital expenditures consisted primarily of $792 and $707 of
         carpet replacement and $1,146 and $1,166 of other additions and
         improvements to existing communities for the three months ended March
         31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Since the Company does not add back
         the depreciation of non-real estate assets in its calculation of FFO,
         capital expenditures of $912 and $955 for the three months ended March
         31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of
         CAD.
(4)      Non-recurring capital expenditures consisted of community additions and
         improvements of $830 and $554 for the three months ended March 31, 2000
         and 1999, respectively.
(5)      Revenue generating capital expenditures are primarily comprised of
         major renovations of communities.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         There have been no material changes since December 31, 1999.
