                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying interim financial statements include all of the accounts
of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and
its subsidiary financing partnerships.  All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.  The financial information furnished is
unaudited and reflects all normal, recurring adjustments which management
believes are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of
September 30, 1996 and the results of operations for the interim periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Such interim results are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for a full year. The accompanying financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and related footnotes appearing in the Operating Partnership's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.  As discussed in the Form 10-K, 1995 results were restated to reflect
a change in accounting for the Property Service Businesses from the cost to the
equity method in compliance with the Emerging Issues Task Force consensus
"Accounting by a Real Estate Investment Trust for an Investment in a Service
Corporation".  As a result, the Operating Partnership's net income decreased by
$325,000 and $986,000, respectively.  The change had no effect on Funds from
Operations.

     The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries are engaged in the
ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, expansion and
development of real estate properties, primarily residential multifamily
properties.  As of September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership owns 42
existing multifamily properties containing 15,200 apartment units, and owns and
operates two free-standing community retail shopping centers, aggregating
436,000 square feet.  Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns substantially
all of the economic interest in entities which provide multifamily and retail
property management, leasing and development services, property renovation,
construction and construction management services, building engineering and
technical services, and financial advisory services (collectively the "Property
Service Businesses"). The Operating Partnership uses the equity method of
accounting for its investment in the Property Service Businesses.

2.   ACQUISITIONS
 
     In March, 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired 309 apartment units
through the purchase of two properties in northern Virginia.  A 262-unit garden-
style community in Reston, Virginia was acquired for approximately $13.7 million

     During the third quarter of 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired two
properties totaling 740 apartment units.  A 625-unit highrise community in
Washington, D.C. was acquired in July for approximately $42 million in cash.  In
August, a 115-unit apartment community located in Washington, D.C. was acquired
for $5.2 million, based on assumed debt of $3.3 million and an exchange of
79,600 Operating Partnership units.


3.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     On January 1, 1996, the Operating Partnership implemented SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" which provides guidance on the carrying value of long-lived
assets.  Implementation of the standard had no effect on the consolidated
financial statements.


4.   PER UNIT DATA

     Earnings per unit of the Operating Partnership for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 is computed based on 21,931,406 and 21,884,205
units, respectively, which represents the weighted average number of units
outstanding during the periods.  Weighted average units for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 were 21,765,777 and 21,529,082,
respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1995.

     Summary. Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $0.7 million, or
8.4%, from $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $8.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Funds from Operations
("FFO") of the Operating Partnership increased $1.3 million, or 11.2%, from
$12.2 million to $13.5 million, during the same period. The increases in both
net income and FFO are attributable to increases in operating income from the
residential properties, primarily the acquisition and development properties.
These increases were partially offset by increased interest expense and
decreased income from the Property Service Businesses and the retail properties.

     Rental Properties. Revenue from rental properties increased $5.5 million,
or 14.6%, from $37.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 to
$42.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The ten acquisition
and development properties (defined as properties with less than one full
calendar year of operations after stabilization and consisting of 2,738
apartment units, 309 and 740 of which were added during the first and third
quarters of 1996, respectively) contributed approximately 87%, or $4.8 million,
of the rental revenue increase.

     Revenue from the core portfolio increased $0.9 million, or 2.9%, for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the prior year period with
average monthly revenue per apartment unit increasing from $865 to $890 per
unit. The increase is due primarily to higher market rents offset by slightly
higher vacancy over the prior year quarter. Average economic occupancy for the
core portfolio was 97.2% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared
to 97.7% for the comparable prior year quarter. The decrease in occupancy was
not unexpected given the aggressive efforts initiated by management to increase
market rents as well as the implementation during the third quarter of 1996 of
several revenue-enhancing initiatives, including a premium for month-to-month
leases and a move-in fee. The Company also continues to expand and aggressively
market the furnished apartment program. As a result, revenues on this product
increased $0.1 million, or 17%, over the prior year period.

     Retail revenues during the three months ended September 30, 1996 decreased
$0.2 million, or 8.4%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 1995
reflecting decreased base rents and higher vacancy at the Skyline Mall. Average
occupancy at Skyline Mall declined from 96.4% during the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to 93.3% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 due to
several stores remaining vacant during the third quarter. As of October 31,
1996, Skyline Mall was 95.3% leased.

     Expenses from rental operations increased $2.0 million, or 11.7%, from
$17.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $19.2 million
during the three months ended

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
September 30, 1996 due primarily to the larger acquisition and development
portfolio which contributed $1.6 million, or 81%, of  the increase.  Expenses
for the core residential portfolio increased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, during the
third quarter compared to the prior year. The increase is primarily due to
higher real estate taxes in the Virginia submarkets  which constitute the
majority of the portfolio.  Assessments averaged 5.5% higher in 1996 than in
1995 for the Virginia properties while local property tax rates for Arlington
and Fairfax counties increased by 2.1% and 5.9%, respectively. The Company also
incurred higher expenses during the third quarter of 1996 due to the expanded
furnished apartment program and the related marketing and advertising
activities. The increases in expenses were largely offset by utility savings
related to an unseasonably cool summer ($0.5 million), and a credit earned from
a ground lessor in connection with a debt refinancing ($0.2 million).

     Property Service Businesses. The Operating Partnership's 99% equity in the
earnings of the Property Service Businesses decreased from $2.0 million during
the third quarter of 1995 to $1.8 million for the third quarter of 1996 as
operating income (before depreciation and amortization) from the Property
Service Businesses decreased $0.2 million, or 8.8%, from $2.3 million to $2.1
million. The decrease was primarily due to lower financing services fees as well
as lower revenue and margins on Interior Construction and Renovation Services.
These decreases were partially offset by higher operating income for both
Multifamily and Retail Property Management, and Engineering and Technical
Services. The Operating Partnership uses the equity method of accounting for
investments in the Property Service Businesses.

     During the three months ended September 30, 1996, Interior Construction and
Renovation Services' revenue decreased $0.2 million, or 9.7%, compared to the
prior year quarter due primarily to a shift in the type of services provided.
During the third quarter of 1995, approximately 85% of revenue was derived from
general contracting services provided to affiliated partnerships and their
tenants. During the three months ended September 30, 1996, 71% of revenue was
derived from affiliated partnerships and their tenants while 29% was derived
from third party construction management services. As a result, revenue from
affiliated partnerships decreased by $0.2 million during the period compared to
the prior year. Management expects to continue pursuing third-party construction
management work, based on current market conditions. During the third quarter of
1996, the Interior Construction and Renovation Services was awarded a contract
with an agency of the Federal Government to manage an estimated $55 million,
multi-year construction renovation project.

     Revenues for Multifamily and Retail Property Management increased $0.5
million, or 20.7%, during the third quarter of 1996 as compared to the
comparable prior year quarter due primarily to retail leasing fees earned on
leases associated with a third-party development project.

     Engineering and Technical Services revenue increased $0.4 million, or 3.4%,
during the third quarter with a resulting increase of 2.0% in operating expenses
and 18.6% in operating income. Both the higher revenues and costs were
attributable primarily to large repair and replacement projects for affiliated
partnerships as well as additional services provided under contracts for

                                       13
<PAGE>
 
HVAC operations and preventive maintenance.

     Revenue for Financing Services decreased $0.2 million, or 42%, due to a
decrease in refinancings during the quarter. Approximately $13.8 million of
refinancings were closed in the third quarter of 1996 compared to $51 million
during the comparable quarter in the prior year.

     Other. General and administrative expenses increased 9.2%, due primarily to
costs incurred in connection with the Operating Partnership's ongoing
acquisition and development efforts. Interest expense increased $1.6 million, or
17.1%, due to additional borrowings under the lines of credit for completed
acquisitions and development. Amounts outstanding under lines of credit averaged
$115.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to $43.3
million for the three months ended September 30, 1995.


Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1995

     Summary. Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $2.1 million, or
9.6%, from $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $23.8
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. FFO increased $3.6
million, or 10.8%, during the same period. The increase in both net income and
FFO results from increases in operating income from the rental properties,
primarily the acquisition and development properties, as well as increased
income from the Property Service Businesses. Such increases were partially
offset by increases in interest expense and general and administrative expenses
and a decrease in interest income.

     Rental Properties. Revenue from rental properties increased $16.7 million,
or 15.8%, from $106.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to
$122.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The ten acquisition
and development properties (consisting of 2,738 units), contributed $13.5
million, or 80.7%, of the rental property revenue increase. (Note that the two
properties purchased in 1994 totaling 627 apartment units were transferred into
the core portfolio on January 1, 1996.) The core portfolio contributed an
increase of $3.4 million, or 3.6%, in revenue during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 over the prior year. Average monthly revenue per apartment
unit of the core portfolio increased from $851 to $881 per month for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively, due to market rent
increases and a slightly improved occupancy. Average economic occupancy was
97.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 versus 97.1% for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995. Core revenue includes a $0.2 million fee
recognized during the first quarter of 1996 for reimbursement of costs
associated with ongoing rental property operations.

     Retail revenues decreased by $0.2 million, or 2.2%, during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 compared to the prior year due to lower base and
percentage rents as well as higher vacancy at Skyline Mall. In addition, non-
escalatable repairs and maintenance expenses were higher than the prior year.

                                       14
<PAGE>
 
     Expenses from rental operations increased $8.2 million, or 17.0%, from
$48.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, to $56.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The increases resulted primarily from
the acquisition/development of 2,566 units (subsequent to the first quarter of
1995) which added $5.7 million to operating expenses compared to the prior year
period. The increase of $2.2 million, or 5.1%, in operating expenses for the
core portfolio was primarily due to expected increases in payroll and related
costs as well as higher furnished apartment expenses and related marketing costs
due to the expansion of this product in 1996. In addition, real estate taxes
were significantly higher in 1996 due to increases in rates and assessments. The
substantial increase in utility costs during the first quarter of 1996 due to
the record cold temperatures was substantially offset during the third quarter
due to an unseasonably cool summer. However, snow removal costs in 1996 were
substantially higher than in 1995 due to the record snowfall. In addition,
depreciation increased $1.6 million due to the acquisition of the 2,566 units.

     Property Service Businesses. The Operating Partnership's 99% equity in the
earnings of the Property Service Businesses increased $0.6 million, or 15.6%,
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. Operating income before depreciation and amortization
increased $0.6 million, or 10.6%, from $5.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, to $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1996.

     The increase in revenue and operating income for Multifamily and Retail
Property Management results primarily from the impact of a non-recurring fee of
$0.6 million related to the termination of a management agreement with a hotel
owned by a related party. The hotel was sold during the first quarter of 1996.
In addition, approximately $0.3 million of leasing fees were earned during the
third quarter of 1996 in connection with retail leases for a third party
development project.

     The decrease in revenues and operating income for Interior Construction and
Renovation Services during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
the prior year period is primarily due to a shift to lower margin, third party
construction management services compared to higher margin general contracting
services provided to affiliated partnerships.

     Operating income from Engineering and Technical Services increased 3.9% due
primarily to an increase in third party consulting work.

     Revenue from Financing Services increased $0.1 million due primarily to a
refinancing fee earned in connection with the termination of a management
agreement with a hotel owned by a related party which was sold during the first
quarter. Overall, however, refinancings during the nine months ended September
30, 1996 were approximately $10.2 million lower than the comparable prior year
period which offset the termination related finance fee.

     Other. General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million, or 8.5%,
primarily due

                                       15
<PAGE>
 
to legal and other costs incurred in connection with the Operating Partnership's
ongoing acquisition and development efforts.  Interest expense increased $5.1
million, or 18.6%, due to additional borrowings under the lines of credit for
acquisitions.

     Funds from Operations. Industry analysts generally consider Funds from
Operations ("FFO") an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. The
Operating Partnership computes FFO as net income (in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt
restructuring plus depreciation and amortization of real estate related assets,
in accordance with the revised definition adopted by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts. The Operating Partnership believes that to
facilitate a clear understanding of its operating results, FFO should be
examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the financial statements
and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. FFO does not represent cash
flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles and
should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the
Operating Partnership's operating performance, or an alternative to cash flow
from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to pay dividends.

     Funds from Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 are computed as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Summary. The Operating Partnership's primary sources of liquidity are cash
flows from operating activities and proceeds from lines of credit and
construction loans. Secondary sources of liquidity include proceeds from
mortgage debt. A summary of the sources of liquidity follows:

     In September 1996, an outstanding mortgage loan of $40.6 million (for which
the Operating Partnership and ground lessor are jointly and severally liable)
was refinanced for a new loan amount of $41 million. The ground lessor has been
allocated $9.9 million of the refinanced loan which bears interest at a fixed
rate of 8.24% and matures in August, 2009. The remaining $31.1 million allocated
to the Operating Partnership (Mortgage Pool Four) represents an increase of $0.2
million over the outstanding allocated balance at the time of refinancing and is
reflected above as net proceeds from mortgage debt.

     The primary uses of liquidity are (i) acquisition and development of rental
property, (ii) dividends and distributions, (iii) capital improvements, and (iv)
payment on mortgage debt. A summary of the uses of liquidity are as follows:

     In March 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired two apartment properties
in northern Virginia totaling 309 apartment units. The 262-unit garden apartment
complex in Reston, Virginia was acquired for approximately $13.7 million cash,
and an exchange of 22,059 Operating Partnership units valued at $0.5 million.
The 47-unit community in Old Town, Alexandria was acquired for approximately
$2.8 million cash and was purchased to complement the 112-unit apartment project
Boulevard of Old Town which was purchased in April, 1995. The acquisitions were
funded through borrowings against the Operating Partnership's lines of credit.

     During the third quarter of 1996, the Operating Partnership acquired two
properties totaling 740 apartment units. A 625-unit highrise community in
Washington, D.C. was acquired in July for approximately $42 million in cash
funded through borrowings against the lines of credit. In August, a 115-unit
apartment community located in Washington, D.C. was acquired for $5.2 million
based upon assumed debt of $3.3 million and an exchange of approximately 79,600
Operating Partnership units valued at $1.9 million. These properties bring the
Operating Partnership's total acquisitions to eleven properties with over 3,000
units acquired since mid-1994.

Debt

     As of September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership had mortgage
indebtedness and other borrowings, which carried a weighted average interest
rate of 7.83%, as follows:

     During the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership
paid distributions of $14.4 million, or $1.47 per unit. In October 1996, the
Operating Partnership declared a third quarter distribution of $0.505 per unit,
an increase of 3.1% over the $0.49 distribution paid in each of the first two
quarters of 1996.

Other

     For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, total capital improvements
were $3.9 million, of which $3.1 million, or $251 per core apartment unit, were
for the core portfolio. Approximately 49% of the capital expenditures on the
core portfolio are considered by management to be revenue generating or economic
improvements, as shown below, which directly affect the Operating Partnership's
ability to increase rents on specific units. The remaining capital expenditures
on the core portfolio for such items as common area improvements indirectly
influence the Operating Partnership's ability to increase rents and are
considered non-revenue generating. A summary of core capital expenditures
follows:
