1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business
Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which specializes in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties. In connection with the merger of MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIGRA") on June 30, 1998, the Company also acquired the property and advisory management businesses of several of MIGRA's affiliates and the right to receive certain asset management fees, including disposition and incentive fees, that would have otherwise been received by MIGRA upon the sale of certain of the properties owned by institutions advised by MIGRA. MIG II Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIG"), MIGRA's successor, is a registered investment advisor and also functions as a mortgage banker and as a real estate advisor to pension funds. MIG recognizes revenue primarily from its clients' real estate acquisitions and dispositions, loan origination and consultation, mortgage servicing, asset and property management and construction lending activities. MIG earns the majority of its mortgage servicing fee revenue from two of its pension fund clients. MIG's asset management, property management, investment advisory and mortgage servicing operations, including those of the prior MIG affiliates, are collectively referred to herein as the "MIGRA Operations".
At September 30, 1999, the Company owned directly or indirectly, or was a joint venture partner in 96 multifamily properties containing 20,868 units. Of these properties, 71 were located in Ohio, 11 in Michigan, two in Florida, two in Georgia, three in Maryland, one in North Carolina, one in Texas, one in Arizona, three in Indiana and one in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the Company managed 53 non-owned properties, 47 of which were multifamily properties consisting of 11,261 units (16 of which are owned by various institutional investors consisting of 5,751 units) and six of which were commercial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 621,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Through affiliates, collectively referred to as the "Service Companies", the Company provides property and asset management, investment advisory, painting and computer services as well as mortgage origination and servicing to both owned and non-owned properties.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, all subsidiaries, the Service Companies and the operating partnership. In connection with the project specific, nonrecourse mortgage refinancing as described in Note 5, separate legal entities, which are qualified REIT subsidiaries of the Company, were formed which are included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. These qualified REIT subsidiaries are separate legal entities and maintain records, books of accounts and depository accounts separate and apart from any other person or entity. The Company holds preferred share interests in the Service Companies, which entitles it to receive 95% of the economic benefits from operations and which is convertible into a majority interest in the voting common shares. The outstanding voting common shares of these Service Companies are held by an executive officer of the Company. The Service Companies are consolidated because, from a financial reporting perspective, the Company is entitled to virtually all economic benefits and has operating control. The preferred share interests are not an impermissible investment for purposes of the Company's REIT qualification test.
The Company entered into an operating partnership structured as a DownREIT of which an aggregate 20% is owned by limited partners. Interests held by limited partners in real estate partnerships controlled by the Company are reflected as "Operating partnership minority interest" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses are allocated to minority interests in accordance with the terms of the operating partnership agreement. In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating partnership, the Company issued a total of 522,032 operating partnership units ("OP units") which consist of 84,630 Class A OP units, 36,530 Class B OP units, 115,124 Class C OP units, 62,313 Class D OP units, and 223,435 Class E OP units. Pursuant to terms of the underlying agreements, the B and C OP units were exchanged into A OP units during 1999. The OP units may, under certain circumstances, become exchangeable into common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis. The Class A unitholders are entitled to receive cumulative distributions per OP unit equal to the per share distributions on the Company's common shares. At September 30, 1999, the Company charged $152,704 to minority interest in operating partnership in the Consolidated Statements of Income relating to the Class A unitholders allocated share of net income. At September 30, 1999, the Class D and Class E unitholders were not entitled to receive an allocation of net income and did not receive any cash distributions from the operating partnership.
One property included in the financial statements is 33-1/3% owned by third party investors. As this property has an accumulated deficit, no recognition of the third party interest is reflected in the financial statements since it is the Company's policy to recognize minority interest only to the extent that the third party's investment and accumulated share of income exceeds distributions and its share of accumulated losses. Investments in joint ventures, that are 50% or less owned by the Company, are presented using the equity method of accounting. Since the Company intends to fulfill its obligations as a partner in the joint ventures, the Company has recognized its share of losses and distributions in excess of its investment.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
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 reported results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999 include the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle related to the Company changing its capitalization policy on certain replacements and improvements (See Note 12). These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Associated Estates Realty Corporation Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998.
Change in Estimates
During the first quarter, the Company refined certain cutoff procedures and its estimation process for the accumulation of property operating expense accrual adjustments. This refinement was facilitated, in part, by the migration to the decentralization of certain functions to the properties and also by the upgrading of the Company's information systems. This refinement had the one time effect of reducing net income by approximately $632,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. In addition, in connection with the Company's adoption of the change in its policy for capitalizing certain replacements (Note 12), the Company reassessed its remaining useful lives of certain appliances and floor covering it had capitalized upon the acquisition of a property. This change in useful lives together with the reduction in the estimated useful lives of certain software from 10 to 7 years had the effect of reducing income by approximately $767,600 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999. Also, the Company had determined in December 1998 that it would replace certain of its software during 1999. Commencing January 1, 1999, the Company began amortizing the remaining net book value over its revised estimated useful life of one year. This change had the effect of reducing net income by approximately $711,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1999.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1998 financial statements to conform to the 1999 presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Effective December 31, 1998, the Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 - Reporting Comprehensive Income. At September 30, 1999, the Company had no items of other comprehensive income requiring additional disclosure. Effective December 31, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 131 - Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. All periods have been presented on the same basis.
In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The provisions of this statement require that derivative instruments be carried at fair value on the balance sheet. The statement continues to allow derivative instruments to be used to hedge various risks and sets forth specific criteria to be used to determine when hedge accounting can be used. The statement also provides for offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of both the derivative and the hedged asset or liability to be recognized in earnings in the same period; however, any changes in fair value or cash flow that represent the ineffective portion of a hedge are required to be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred. For derivative instruments not accounted for as hedges, changes in fair value are required to be recognized in earnings. The provisions of this statement become effective for quarterly and annual reporting beginning June 15, 2000. Although the statement allows for early adoption in any quarterly period after June 1998, the Company has no plans to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 133 prior to the effective date. The impact of adopting the provisions of this statement on the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flow subsequent to the effective date is not currently estimable and will depend on the financial position of the Company and the nature and purpose of the derivative instruments in use by management at that time.
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position No. 98-5 - Reporting on the Cost of Start-Up Activities. At September 30, 1999, there was no material impact of adoption on the provisions of this statement on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
2. DEVELOPMENT AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITY
Development Activity
Construction in progress, including the cost of land, for the development of multifamily properties was $31,821,021 and $53,740,292 at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. The Company capitalizes interest costs on funds used in construction, real estate taxes and insurance from the commencement of development activity through the time the property is available for occupancy. Capitalized interest, real estate taxes and insurance aggregated approximately $2,644,877 and $933,190 during the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the construction and leasing of 440 units at three properties were completed at a total cost of $41.3 million. The following schedule details construction in progress at September 30, 1999:

Disposition Activity
During 1999, the Company sold six operating properties for net cash proceeds of $30 million, resulting in a gain of $13.9 million. The net cash proceeds of $13.4 million which were received from the sale of five operating properties were placed in a trust which restricts the Company's use of these funds for the exclusive purchase of other property of like-kind and qualifying use. These funds are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as restricted cash. The like-kind exchange must occur prior to December 3, 1999. The remaining net cash proceeds were used to pay down the $20 million Medium-Term Note which matured in September 1999.
During September 1999, MIG sold a multifamily property on behalf of a pension fund client. The Company recognized an asset disposition fee of $127,500.
3. PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE
The Company has entered into contracts to sell two of its Market-rate properties. These properties are located in Ohio. The Company sold one of the properties on October 1, 1999 and anticipates that the other asset will be sold during 1999. The net real estate assets of these properties are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as properties held for sale.

5. SECURED DEBT
Conventional Mortgage Debt
Conventional mortgages payable are comprised of 31 and six loans at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively, each of which is collateralized by the respective real estate and resident leases. These nonrecourse project specific loans accrue interest at a fixed rate with the exception of one mortgage note which accrues interest at a variable rate. Mortgages payable are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest and mature at various dates through March 2024. The balance of the conventional mortgages was $347.5 million and $52.2 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.
During 1999 through September 30, 1999, the Company received gross proceeds of $296.5 million from project specific, nonrecourse mortgage loans collateralized by 25 properties owned by qualified REIT subsidiaries, having a net book value of $356.3 million. These qualified REIT subsidiaries are separate legal entities and maintain records, books of accounts and depository accounts separate and apart from any other person or entity. The proceeds from these loans were used to pay down the Company's floating rate unsecured line of credit facility and a $20 million Medium-Term Note and to increase the Company's cash balances which may be used to fund construction in progress, fund joint venture opportunities with pension fund clients, and buy back limited quantities of the Company's stock as authorized by the Board of Directors. These mortgage loan documents require escrow deposits for taxes and replacement of project assets. The weighted average maturity of the loans funded in 1999 through September 30, 1999 is 9.64 years, and the weighted average interest rate is 7.54%.
Federally Insured Mortgage Debt
Federally insured mortgage debt which encumbered seven of the properties at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 (including one property which is funded through Industrial Development Bonds), is insured by HUD pursuant to one of the mortgage insurance programs administered under the National Housing Act of 1934. These government-insured loans are nonrecourse to the Company. Payments of principal, interest and HUD mortgage insurance premiums are made in equal monthly installments and mature at various dates through March 1, 2024. The balance of the federally insured mortgages was $27.4 million and $27.9 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Six of the seven federally insured mortgages have a fixed rate and the remaining mortgage ($1.8 million) has a variable rate.
Under certain of the mortgage agreements, the Company is required to make escrow deposits for taxes, insurance and replacement of project assets. The variable rate mortgage is secured by a letter of credit which is renewed annually.
6. UNSECURED DEBT
Senior Notes
The Senior Notes were issued during 1995 in the principal amounts of $75 million and $10 million and accrue interest at 8.38% and 7.10%, respectively, and mature in 2000 and 2002, respectively. The balance of the $75 million Senior Note, net of unamortized discounts, was $74.9 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. The Company intends to pay off the Senior Notes pursuant to a tender offer as provided in Note 14.
Medium-Term Notes Program
The Company had 10 and 11 Medium-Term Notes (the "MTN's") outstanding having an aggregate balance of $92.5 million and $112.5 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. During September 1999, a $20 million MTN matured and was paid off using funds from the sale of an operating property and financing proceeds. The principal amounts of these MTN's range from $2.5 million to $20 million and bear interest from 6.18% to 7.93% over terms ranging from two to 30 years, with a stated weighted average maturity of 7.33 years at September 30, 1999. The holders of two MTN's with stated terms of 30 years each have a right to repayment in five and seven years from the issue date of the respective MTN. If these holders exercised their right to prepayment, the weighted average maturity of the MTN's would be 5.44 years.
The Company's current MTN Program provides for the issuance, from time to time, of up to $102.5 million of MTN's due nine months or more from the date of issue and may be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the holder prior to the stated maturity date. These MTN's may bear interest at fixed rates or at floating rates and can be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000. At September 30, 1999, there was $62.5 million of additional MTN borrowings available under the program. However, the Company believes that it may no longer be in a position to access public unsecured debt markets due to revised credit ratings. Moreover, the Company intends to pay off all of its outstanding MTN's pursuant to a tender offer as provided for in Note 14.
From time to time, the Company may enter into hedge agreements to minimize its exposure to interest rate risks. There are no interest rate protection agreements outstanding as of September 30, 1999.
Line of Credit
Prior to its termination in May 1999, the Company had available a $250 million revolving credit facility (the "Line of Credit") which contained various restrictive covenants. At December 31, 1998, $226.0 million was outstanding under this facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Line of Credit was 6.88% at December 31, 1998, representing a variable rate based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread, depending on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. An annual commitment fee of 15 basis points on the maximum commitment, as defined in the agreement, was payable annually in advance on each anniversary date. In May 1999, the Company repaid all outstanding obligations under this Line of Credit through proceeds received from financing project specific, nonrecourse mortgage loans (Note 5) and terminated the facility. The Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $1,808,742 which represents a $750,000 facility fee charge, $126,559 breakage fee, and a $932,183 write off of deferred finance costs related to the termination of the unsecured line of credit facility.
MIGRA maintained a $500,000 Line of Credit facility ("MIGRA Line of Credit Facility") which the Company assumed at the time of the merger. On February 10, 1999, the Company paid off the $446,565 outstanding MIGRA Line of Credit Facility and terminated this facility.
7. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND JOINT VENTURES
Management and Other Services
The Company provides management and other services to (and is reimbursed for certain expenses incurred on behalf of) certain non-owned properties in which the Company's Chief Executive Officer and/or other related parties have varying ownership interests. The entities which own these properties, as well as other related parties, are referred to as "affiliates". The Company also provides similar services to joint venture properties.

Property management fees and other miscellaneous receivables due from affiliates and joint venture properties aggregated $6,531,334 and $6,677,611 at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. Included in these amounts was approximately $1.2 million due from a partnership owned in part by certain officers of the Company which was assumed in connection with the MIGRA merger and liquidated subsequent to September 30, 1999 as disclosed in Note 9. There were no payables due to affiliates and joint venture properties at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998.
Advances to Affiliates and Joint Ventures
In the normal course of business, the Company advances funds on behalf of, or holds funds for the benefit of, affiliates and joint ventures. Funds advanced to affiliates and joint ventures aggregated $1,716,975 and $1,479,330 at September 30, 1999, respectively, and $5,555,732 and $880,057 at December 31, 1998, respectively. Except for insignificant amounts, advances to affiliates bear interest; the weighted average rate charged was 8.3% during the periods ending September 30, 1999 and 1998. The Company held funds for the benefit of affiliates and joint ventures in the aggregate amount of $2,528,248 and $1,705,702 at September 30, 1999, respectively, and $3,174,898 and $2,178,496 at December 31, 1998, respectively.
During 1999, the Company provided an additional reserve of $150,000 with respect to a receivable from a managed but non-owned property. This reserve is reflected as a charge for funds advanced to non-owned properties in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
Notes Receivable
At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, two notes of equal amounts were receivable from the Company's Chief Executive Officer aggregating $3,342,000 (included in "Accounts and notes receivables-affiliates and joint ventures"). One of the notes is partially secured by 150,000 of the Company's common shares; the other note is unsecured. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the interest rate charged on this note was approximately 6.6%, with principal due May 1, 2002. The Company recognized interest income of $56,665 and $165,771 for the three and nine month period ending September 30, 1999, respectively, relating to these notes.
8. RAINBOW TERRACE APARTMENTS
On February 9, 1998, HUD notified the Company that Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Inc. ("RTA"), the Company's subsidiary corporation that owns Rainbow Terrace Apartments, was in default under the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Housing Assistance Payments Contract ("HAP Contract") pertaining to this property. Among other matters, HUD alleged that the property was poorly managed and that RTA had failed to complete certain physical improvements to the property. Moreover, HUD claimed that the owner was not in compliance with numerous technical regulations concerning whether certain expenses were properly chargeable to the property. As provided in the Regulatory Agreement and HAP Contract, in the event of a default, HUD has the right to exercise various remedies including terminating future payments under the HAP Contract and foreclosing the government-insured mortgage encumbering the property.
This controversy arose out of a Comprehensive Management Review of the property initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997, which included a complete physical inspection of the property. In a series of written responses to HUD, the Company stated its belief that it had corrected the management deficiencies cited by HUD in the Comprehensive Management Review (other than the completion of certain physical improvements to the property) and justified the expenditures questioned by HUD as being properly chargeable to the property in accordance with HUD's regulations. Moreover, the Company stated its belief that it had repaired any physical deficiencies noted by HUD in its Comprehensive Management Review that might pose a threat to the life and safety of its residents.
In June 1998, HUD notified the Company that all future Housing Assistance Payments ("HAP") for RTA were abated and instructed the lender to accelerate the balance due under the mortgage. Subsequent to the notification of the HAP abatements and the acceleration of the mortgage, the lender advised the Company that the acceleration notification had been rescinded pursuant to HUD's instruction. HUD then notified the Company that the HAP payments would be reinstated and that HUD was reviewing further information concerning RTA provided by the Company. The Company has received the monthly HAP payments for RTA.
In June 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit against HUD seeking to compel HUD to review certain budget based rent increases submitted to HUD by the Company in 1995.
From June 1998 through March 1999, the Company was involved in ongoing negotiations with HUD for the purpose of resolving these and other disputes concerning other properties managed or formerly managed by the Company or one of the Service Companies, which were similarly the subject of Comprehensive Management Reviews initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997.
On March 12, 1999, the Company, Associated Estates Management Company ("AEMC"), RTA, PVA Limited Partnership ("PVA"), the owner of Park Village Apartments, and HUD, entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") for the purpose of resolving certain disputes concerning property operations at Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Park Village Apartments ("Park Village"), Longwood Apartments ("Longwood") and Vanguard Apartments ("Vanguard"). Longwood was managed by the Company until January 13, 1999. Park Village is managed by the Company. Vanguard was managed by AEMC until December 1997. All four properties are encumbered by HUD insured mortgages, governed by HUD imposed regulatory agreements and subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, HUD has agreed to pay RTA a retroactive rent increase totaling $1,784,467, which represents the outstanding receivable recorded at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998. HUD has further agreed to release the Company, AEMC, RTA and the owners and principals of PVA, Longwood and Vanguard from all claims (other than tax or criminal fraud claims) regarding the ownership or operation of Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Park Village, Longwood and Vanguard. Moreover, HUD has agreed not to issue a limited denial of participation, debarment or suspension, program fraud civil remedy action or civil money penalty, resulting from the ownership or management of any of these projects, or to deny eligibility to any of their owners, management agents or affiliates for participation in any HUD program on such basis.
HUD's obligations under the Settlement Agreement are conditioned upon the performance by the Company, RTA and PVA of certain obligations, the most significant of which is the obligation to identify, on or before April 11, 1999, prospective purchasers for both Rainbow Terrace Apartments and Park Village who are acceptable to HUD, and upon HUD's approval, convey those projects to such purchasers. Alternatively, if RTA and PVA are unable to identify prospective purchasers acceptable to HUD, then RTA and PVA have agreed to convey both projects to HUD pursuant to deeds in lieu of foreclosure. In either case (conveyance to a HUD approved purchaser or deed in lieu of foreclosure), no remuneration will be received by either RTA or PVA in return, except for the $1,784,467 retroactive rent increase payable to RTA mentioned above. At September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had receivables of $1,784,467 related to the 1995 and 1998 retroactive rental increase requests. At September 30, 1999, RTA had net assets of approximately $1,827,319, including the retroactive rental receivable of $1,784,467 due from HUD, and a remaining amount due under the mortgage of approximately $1,935,123. The transfer of RTA to a purchaser which is acceptable to HUD or the direct transfer of RTA to HUD is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company has excluded RTA's results of operations from its Consolidated Statement of Income for 1999. RTA and PVA requested HUD to extend the April 11, 1999 deadline for identification of potential purchasers. HUD granted that request and the deadline was extended to May 31, 1999. The Company believes that RTA and PVA have satisfied their obligation to identify prospective purchasers for those properties.
During the third quarter, RTA, with respect to Rainbow Terrace Apartments, and PVA, with respect to Park Village, entered into contracts to sell those properties, subject to, among other matters, HUD approval. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, HUD has the right to approve or disapprove those prospective purchasers. Alternatively, HUD may require RTA and PVA to convey these properties to HUD by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Company expects HUD to announce its decision soon.
9. PREFERRED AND COMMON SHARES
Common Shares
In 1999, the Company issued 74,994 common shares for the benefit of the former MIGRA shareholders. This issuance was made pursuant to the contingent consideration provisions of the MIGRA merger agreement. These shares were entitled to the dividend payments which were declared on June 21 and October 7, 1999, and amounted to $56,246. Such shares were recorded at their, then, fair value of $872,935 and increased the recorded amount of the intangible asset associated with the purchase of MIGRA. At September 30, 1999, a total of 30,000 shares of the 74,994 shares were held in escrow for the benefit of the former MIGRA shareholders.
In October 1999, the Company settled the purchase price adjustment relating to the assets and liabilities (as defined in the related agreement) assumed in connection with the MIGRA merger. The MIGRA merger agreement provided that such adjustment would be determined on the one-year anniversary of the merger. Accordingly, the Company paid a net of approximately $1.25 million with respect to the purchase price adjustment. The consideration paid was funded by proceeds from the sale, at par (including accrued interest) of a large receivable to affiliates, the former MIGRA shareholders. This purchase price adjustment increased the Company's recorded amount of the intangible asset initially recorded at the date of the merger.
The Company also believes that the conditions for the payment of additional contingent consideration on the second anniversary of the merger pursuant to the MIGRA merger agreement will be satisfied. Such amounts, although not recorded as of September 30, 1999, since the consideration has not yet been exchanged, approximate $3.0 million. It is expected that this amount will increase the Company's recorded intangible asset. Amortization expense of approximately $149,150 was recorded at September 30, 1999 with respect to this portion of the consideration. This second anniversary payment represents the final payment pursuant to the merger agreement.
In June and July 1998, the Company issued 408,314 and 5,139,387 common shares relating to the Company's merger of MIGRA and the related acquisition of eight multifamily properties, respectively.
Treasury Shares
On June 21, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors amended the Company's stock repurchase plan by authorizing up to an additional 2,000,000 common shares to be repurchased by the Company at market prices. The timing of stock purchases are made at the discretion of management. During 1999 and 1998, 1,087,600 and 25,000 shares were repurchased at an aggregate cost of $12,299,968 and $466,523, respectively. The repurchases were funded primarily from operating cash flows and financing proceeds.
Preferred Shares
At September 30, 1999, 2,250,000 Depositary Shares were outstanding, each representing 1/10 of a share of the Company's 9.75% Class A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (the "Perpetual Preferred Shares"). Dividends on the Perpetual Preferred Shares are cumulative from the date of issue and are payable quarterly. Except in certain circumstances relating to the preservation of the Company's status as a REIT, the Perpetual Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to July 25, 2000. On and after July 25, 2000, the Perpetual Preferred Shares will be redeemable for cash at the option of the Company.
The Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000 Class B Cumulative Preferred Shares, without par value, and 3,000,000 Noncumulative Preferred Shares, without par value. There are no Class B Cumulative or Noncumulative Preferred Shares issued or outstanding at September 30, 1999 or December 31, 1998.
Shareholder Rights Plan
During January 1999, the Company adopted a Shareholder Rights Plan. To implement the Plan, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of one Right for each of the Company's outstanding common shares. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from the Company 1/1,000th of a Class B Series I Cumulative Preferred Share (a "Preferred Share") at a purchase price of $40 per Right, subject to adjustment. One one-thousandth of a Preferred Share is intended to be approximately the economic equivalent of one common share. The Rights will expire on January 6, 2009, unless redeemed by the Company as described below.
The Rights are not currently exercisable and trade with the Company's common shares. The Rights will become exercisable if a person or group becomes the beneficial owner of 15% or more of the then outstanding common shares of the Company or announces an offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company's then outstanding common shares.
If a person or group acquires 15% or more of the Company's outstanding common shares, then each Right not owned by the acquiring person or its affiliates will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, fractional preferred shares that are approximately the economic equivalent of common shares (or, in certain circumstances, common shares, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a market value equal to twice the then-current exercise price. In addition, if, after the Rights become exercisable, the Company is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction with an acquiring person or its affiliates or sells 50% or more of its assets or earnings power to an acquiring person or its affiliates, each Right will entitle its holder to purchase, at the Right's then-current exercise price, a number of the acquiring Company's common shares having a market value of twice the Right's exercise price. The Board of Directors may redeem the Rights, in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right.
The distribution was made on January 29, 1999 to shareholders of record on that date. The initial distribution of Rights is not taxable to shareholders.
10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share ("EPS") has been computed pursuant to the provisions of SFAS No. 128. The following table provides a reconciliation of both income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and the number of common shares used in the computation of basic EPS, which utilizes the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without regard to dilutive potential common shares, and diluted EPS, which includes all such shares.

11. INTERIM SEGMENT REPORTING
In 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Company has four reportable segments: (1) Market-rate multifamily properties, (2) Government-Assisted multifamily properties, (3) Management and Service Operations and (4) Unallocated Corporate Overhead. The Company has identified these segments because the discrete information is the basis upon which management makes decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment. The Market-rate multifamily properties are Same Store conventional multifamily residential apartments (the operations are not subject to regulation by HUD) and properties acquired or disposed of within one year. The Government-Assisted properties are multifamily properties for which the rents are subsidized and certain aspects of the operations are regulated by HUD pursuant to Section 8 of the National Housing Act of 1937. The Management and Service Operations provide management and advisory services to the Market-rate and Government-Assisted properties which are owned by the Company, as well as to clients and properties that are not owned, but are managed by the Company. All of the Company's segments are located in the United States. During the second quarter of 1999, management revised its reported segments to add a new segment representing Unallocated Corporate Overhead in order to better capture costs not specifically allocated to an individual segment and to isolate these costs from the third party Management and Service Operations. For comparability purposes, the 1998 results have been restated to reflect this revision to the Company's reportable segments.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the "Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies". The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on EBITDA. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles - "GAAP"), as an indicator of the Company's financial performance, cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) or 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.

12. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting to capitalize expenditures for certain replacements and improvements, such as new HVAC equipment, structural replacements, appliances, flooring, carpeting and kitchen/bath replacements and renovations. Previously, these costs were charged to operations as incurred. Ordinary repairs and maintenance, such as suite cleaning and painting, and appliance repairs are expensed. The Company believes the change in the capitalization method provides an improved measure of the Company's capital investment, provides a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of such expenditures, including associated revenues, and is in the opinion of management, consistent with industry practice. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle increased net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $4,319,162 or $.19 per share (basic and diluted). The effect of this change was to increase income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by $2,642,064 or $.12 per share (basic and diluted) and $5,530,903 or $.25 per share (basic and diluted) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The pro forma amounts shown on the income statement have been adjusted to reflect the retroactive application of the capitalization of such expenditures and related depreciation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1998 which increased net income by $268,600 or $.01 per share - basic and diluted and $579,200 or $.03 per share - basic and diluted, respectively.

The 1999 and 1998 pro forma financial information does not include the revenue and expenses for the period January 1 through the date the properties were acquired by the Company for Windsor at Kirkman Apartments, Windsor Pines and Steeplechase at Shiloh Crossing Apartments which are properties that were acquired in 1998. The revenue and expenses of the aforementioned properties were excluded from the pro forma financial information for 1999 and 1998 as the properties were under construction during substantially all of the periods prior to their acquisition.
The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations of the Company would have been assuming the transactions had been completed as set forth, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations of future periods of the Company.
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Disposition Activity
On October 1, 1999, the Company sold one of its Market-rate properties for net cash proceeds of $2.2 million, resulting in a gain of $1.4 million. The net cash proceeds will be used to pay a portion of the Company's common share dividend.
On October 29, 1999, one of MIG's advisory client's sold a property that MIG was managing and advising which generated $335,000 of disposition fee income. The Company recognized management fees of $46,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Dividends Declared and Paid
On October 7, 1999, the Company declared a dividend of $0.375 per common share for the quarter ending September 30, 1999, which was paid on November 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on October 15, 1999.
Secured Financing
On October 8, 1999, the Company collateralized a mortgage on one property for $13.3 million in a project specific, non-recourse loan from The Chase Manhattan Bank. The loan will mature in 8 years with an interest rate of 7.86%. The proceeds from this loan are being used to fund construction in progress, fund joint venture opportunities with pension fund clients, and repurchase a limited number of the Company's common shares as authorized by the Board of Directors.
Cash Tender Offers for Unsecured Debt Securities
On October 21, 1999, the Company commenced cash tender offers and concurrent consent solicitations for all of the Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities. The vote of the holders of a simple majority of the principal amount of outstanding notes voting together as one class was required to obtain the requisite consents. The initial offer provided for a discount to par; however, on November 3, 1999, the Company had not received the requisite consents. The Company has notified the noteholders that it will tender the notes for par. The Company intends to fund the tender offers with project specific, non-recourse loans from The Chase Manhattan Bank and a secured line of credit from National City Bank. The loans will be collateralized by individual mortgages on as many as 31 properties. This structure is intended to give the Company more operating and financial flexibility than that under the indenture governing the notes.
Upon completion of the revised tender and the related financing, the Company's total debt structure will consist of approximately $560 million in long-term, secured, fixed rate financing, encumbering approximately 66 properties (excluding 7 unconsolidated joint venture properties). The Company owns an additional 21 properties that will remain unencumbered at the completion of the tender and the related financing.
The tender offers and consent solicitations are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and related materials, which set forth the terms of the tender offers and consent solicitations. The tender offers are, among other matters, expressly conditional upon the successful consummation of the secured financing. The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the tender offers and the consent solicitations.
Under the revised terms of the offers and solicitations, investors who tender their securities prior to the Consent Date will receive the revised consideration of $975 per $1,000 principal amount plus a Consent Fee of $25 per $1,000 Note; investors tendering after that date will receive the new purchase price but not the Consent Fee. Investors who have previously validly tendered their notes will receive the increased purchase price, as well as the Consent Fee. In either event, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid up to, but excluding the settlement date of the tender offers.
On November 5, 1999, the Company received consents from holders of more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding notes pursuant to the amended terms of its cash tender offers and concurrent consent solicitations for all of its outstanding senior and medium-term notes totaling $177.5 million in principal. Accordingly, the Company and the trustee for the notes will execute a supplemental indenture containing the proposed amendments approved by noteholders, which becomes effective upon acceptance by the Company for payment of all notes validly tendered pursuant to the tender offers.
Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will recognize an extraordinary charge of approximately $1.6 million which represents a write off of deferred finance costs related to the termination of these unsecured debt securities.
Management Contract Cancellation
On October 1, 1999, the management contracts on two non-owned commercial properties were canceled. The Company recognized management fees of $27,562 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The owners of two non-owned managed properties have contracted to sell these properties. Upon the sale of these properties, it is likely that the management contracts will be canceled. The Company recognized management fees of $10,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Overview
Associated Estates Realty Corporation (the "Company") is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") which specializes in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily properties. In connection with the merger of MIG Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIGRA") on June 30, 1998, the Company also acquired the property and advisory management businesses of several of MIGRA's affiliates and the right to receive certain asset management fees, including disposition and incentive fees, that would have otherwise been received by MIGRA upon the sale of certain of the properties owned by institutions advised by MIGRA. MIG II Realty Advisors, Inc. ("MIG") MIGRA's successor, is a registered investment advisor and also functions as a mortgage banker and as a real estate advisor to pension funds. MIG recognizes revenue primarily from its clients' real estate acquisitions and dispositions, loan origination and consultation, mortgage servicing, asset and property management and construction lending activities. MIG earns the majority of its mortgage servicing fee revenue from two of its pension fund clients. MIG's asset management, property management, investment advisory and mortgage servicing operations, including those of the prior MIG affiliates, are collectively referred to herein as the "MIGRA Operations".
At September 30, 1999, the Company owned directly or indirectly, or was a joint venture partner in 96 multifamily properties containing 20,868 units. Of these properties, 71 were located in Ohio, 11 in Michigan, two in Florida, two in Georgia, three in Maryland, one in North Carolina, one in Texas, one in Arizona, three in Indiana and one in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the Company managed 53 non-owned properties, 47 of which were multifamily properties consisting of 11,261 units (16 of which are owned by various institutional investors consisting of 5,751 units) and six of which were commercial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 621,000 square feet of gross leasable area. Through affiliates, collectively referred to as the "Service Companies", the Company provides property and asset management, investment advisory, painting and computer services as well as mortgage origination and servicing to both owned and non-owned properties.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Consolidated Statements of Income contained in the financial statements, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations. This discussion may also contain forward-looking statements based on current judgments and current knowledge of management, which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary from those projected. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors are cautioned that the Company's forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainty, including without limitation, changes in economic conditions in the markets in which the Company owns properties, risks of a lessening of demand for the apartments owned by the Company, changes in government regulations affecting the Government-Assisted Properties, changes in or termination of contracts relating to third party management and advisory business, and expenditures that cannot be anticipated such as utility rate and usage increases, unanticipated repairs, additional staffing, insurance increases and real estate tax valuation reassessments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1993. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements including a requirement that 95% of the income that would otherwise be considered as taxable income be distributed to shareholders. Providing the Company continues to qualify as a REIT, it will generally not be subject to a Federal income tax on net income.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements generally through its net cash provided by operations, secured borrowings and property sales proceeds. The Company believes that these sources will be sufficient to meet both operating requirements and the payment of dividends in accordance with REIT requirements. During the remainder of 1999 and 2000, approximately $.9 million and $93.2 million, respectively, of the Company's debt will mature. Although the Company may no longer be in a position to access public unsecured debt markets due to revised credit ratings, the Company believes it has adequate alternatives available to provide for its liquidity needs including new secured borrowings and property sales proceeds.
Financing:
During 1999 through November 9, 1999, the Company has received proceeds of $309.8 million in project specific, nonrecourse mortgage loans which are collateralized by 26 properties owned by qualified REIT subsidiaries, having a net book value of $375.2 million. These qualified REIT subsidiaries are separate legal entities and maintain records, books of accounts and depository accounts separate and apart from any other person or entity. Most of the proceeds from these loans were used to pay down the Company's floating rate unsecured line of credit facility and a $20 million Medium-Term Note. The proceeds were also used to increase the Company's cash balances which will be used to fund construction in progress, fund joint venture opportunities with pension fund clients, and buy back limited quantities of the Company's stock as authorized by the Board of Directors. There are no cross-default or cross-collateralization provisions in the mortgages. After repayment of the unsecured line of credit facility, the Company's total floating rate debt outstanding was reduced to $18.1 million, and all outstanding unsecured floating rate debt was repaid. These nonrecourse financings had the effect of increasing the Company's weighted average debt maturity from approximately 4 years to approximately 9 years.
Cash Tender Offers for Unsecured Debt Securities:
On October 21, 1999, the Company commenced cash tender offers and concurrent consent solicitations for all of the Company's outstanding unsecured debt securities. The vote of the holders of a simple majority of the principal amount of outstanding notes voting together as one class was required to obtain the requisite consents. The initial offer provided for a discount to par; however, on November 3, 1999, the Company had not received the requisite consents. The Company has notified the noteholders that it will tender the notes for par. The Company intends to fund the tender offers with project specific, non-recourse loans from The Chase Manhattan Bank and a secured line of credit from National City Bank. The loans will be collateralized by individual mortgages on as many as 31 properties. This structure is intended to give the Company more operating and financial flexibility than that under the indenture governing the notes.
Upon completion of the revised tender and the related financing, the Company's total debt structure will consist of approximately $560 million in long-term, secured, fixed rate financing, encumbering approximately 66 properties (excluding 7 unconsolidated joint venture properties). The Company owns an additional 21 properties that will remain unencumbered at the completion of the tender and the related financing.
The tender offers and consent solicitations are being made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and related materials, which set forth the terms of the tender offers and consent solicitations. The tender offers are, among other matters, expressly conditional upon the successful consummation of the secured financing. The Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate the tender offers and the consent solicitations.
Under the revised terms of the offers and solicitations, investors who tender their securities prior to the Consent Date will receive the revised consideration of $975 per $1,000 principal amount plus a Consent Fee of $25 per $1,000 Note; investors tendering after that date will receive the new purchase price but not the Consent Fee. Investors who have previously validly tendered their notes will receive the increased purchase price, as well as the Consent Fee. In either event, accrued and unpaid interest will be paid up to, but excluding the settlement date of the tender offers.
On November 5, 1999, the Company received consents from holders of more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of its outstanding notes pursuant to the amended terms of its cash tender offers and concurrent consent solicitations for all of its outstanding senior and medium-term notes totaling $177.5 million in principal. Accordingly, the Company and the trustee for the notes will execute a supplemental indenture containing the proposed amendments approved by noteholders, which becomes effective upon acceptance by the Company for payment of all notes validly tendered pursuant to the tender offers.
Upon completion of this transaction, the Company will recognize an extraordinary charge of approximately $1.6 million which represents a write off of deferred finance costs related to the termination of these unsecured debt securities.
Prior to its termination in May 1999, the Company had available a $250 million revolving credit facility (the "Line of Credit") which contained various restrictive covenants. At December 31, 1998, $226.0 million was outstanding under this facility. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Line of Credit was 6.88% at December 31, 1998, representing a variable rate based on the prime rate or LIBOR plus a specified spread, depending on the Company's long term senior unsecured debt rating from Standard and Poor's and Moody's Investors Service. An annual commitment fee of 15 basis points on the maximum commitment, as defined in the agreement, was payable annually in advance on each anniversary date. In May 1999, the Company repaid all outstanding obligations under this Line of Credit through proceeds received from financing project specific, nonrecourse mortgage loans (Note 5) and terminated the facility. The Company recognized an extraordinary charge of $1,808,742 which represents a $750,000 facility fee charge, $126,559 breakage fee, and a $932,183 write off of deferred finance costs related to the termination of the unsecured line of credit facility.
The Company was in violation of certain financial ratio covenants under the Line of Credit for the first quarter 1998 reporting period. The Company received waivers of those violations through June 30, 1998. Additionally, the Company advised its bank group that it was not in compliance with one of the financial covenants concerning the Company's net worth for the third quarter 1998 reporting period. The net worth covenant required that the Company maintain a minimum net worth of $400 million, based on a formula that incorporates the annualized multiple of the most recent quarter's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the agreement. The Company negotiated with its bank group for a waiver by the banks of the breach of the net worth covenant, along with an increase in borrowing costs under its Line of Credit from LIBOR plus 100 basis points to LIBOR plus 140 basis points (based on the then-current credit rating). In addition, certain of the covenants, including the minimum net worth covenant, were modified to provide the Company a limited increase in flexibility. The minimum net worth covenant was reduced from $400 million to $325 million. The bank group continued to make advances under the Line of Credit following the Company's notification that it was not in compliance with the net worth covenant. A $395,000 default waiver fee was paid in December 1998 and was reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Income at December 31, 1998.
MIGRA maintained a $500,000 Line of Credit facility ("MIGRA Line of Credit Facility") which the Company assumed at the time of the merger. During February 1999, the Company paid off the $446,565 outstanding MIGRA Line of Credit Facility and terminated this facility.
Fifty-two (40 Market-rate Properties which refers to the Core and Acquired/Disposed Property portfolios and 12 Government-Assisted Properties) of the Company's 89 (76 Market-rate Properties and 13 Government-Assisted Properties) wholly owned properties were unencumbered at September 30, 1999 with annualized EBITDA of approximately $57.2 million (approximately $47.8 million represents the Market-rate Properties and approximately $9.4 million represents the Government-Assisted Properties) and a historical gross cost basis of approximately $336.4 million (approximately $300.9 million represents the Market-rate Properties and approximately $35.5 million represents the Government-Assisted Properties). The remaining 37 of the Company's wholly owned properties, (all of which are Market-rate Properties except one which is a Government-Assisted Property), have an historical gross cost basis of $555.6 million ($553.0 million represents the Market-rate Properties and $2.6 million represents the Government-Assisted Property) and secured property specific debt of $374.9 million ($1.8 million relates to the Government-Assisted Property) at September 30, 1999. Unsecured debt, which totaled $177.5 million at September 30, 1999, consisted of $92.5 million in Medium-Term Notes and $85 million of Senior Notes. The Company's proportionate share of the mortgage debt relating to the seven joint venture properties was $17.3 million at September 30, 1999. The weighted average interest rate on the secured, unsecured and the Company's proportionate share of the joint venture debt was 7.28% at September 30, 1999.
After considering the effect of the October 8, 1999 $13.3 million mortgage refinancing of one property, 51 (39 Market-rate Properties and 12 Government-Assisted Properties) of the Company's 89 (76 Market-rate Properties and 13 Government-Assisted Properties) wholly owned properties remain unencumbered with annualized EBITDA of approximately $56.6 million (approximately $47.2 million represents the Market-rate Properties and approximately $9.4 million represents the Government-Assisted Properties) and a historical gross cost basis of approximately $316.7 million (approximately $281.2 million represents the Market-rate Properties and approximately $35.5 million represents the Government-Assisted Properties). The remaining 38 of the Company's wholly owned properties, (all of which are Market-rate Properties except one which is a Government-Assisted Property), have a historical gross cost basis of $575.4 million ($572.8 million represents the Market-rate Properties and $2.6 million represents the Government-Assisted Property).
Medium-Term Notes Program
The Company had 10 and 11 Medium-Term Notes (the "MTN's") outstanding having an aggregate balance of $92.5 million and $112.5 million at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively. During September 1999, a $20 million MTN matured and was paid off using funds from the sale of an operating property and financing proceeds. The principal amounts of these MTN's range from $2.5 million to $20 million and bear interest from 6.18% to 7.93% over terms ranging from two to 30 years, with a stated weighted average maturity of 7.33 years at September 30, 1999. The holders of two MTN's with stated terms of 30 years each have a right to repayment in five and seven years from the issue date of the respective MTN. If these holders exercised their right to prepayment, the weighted average maturity of the MTN's would be 5.44 years.
The Company's current MTN Program provides for the issuance, from time to time, of up to $102.5 million of MTN's due nine months or more from the date of issue and may be subject to redemption at the option of the Company or repayment at the option of the holder prior to the stated maturity date. These MTN's may bear interest at fixed rates or at floating rates and can be issued in minimum denominations of $1,000. At September 30, 1999, there was $62.5 million of additional MTN borrowings available under the program. However, the Company may no longer be in a position to access public unsecured debt markets due to revised credit ratings.
From time to time, the Company may enter into hedge agreements to minimize its exposure to interest rate risks. There are no interest rate protection agreements outstanding as of September 30, 1999.
Registration statements:
The Company has a shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the proposed offering of up to $368.8 million of debt securities, preferred shares, depositary shares, common shares and common share warrants. The total amount of the shelf filing includes a $102.5 million MTN Program of which MTN's totaling $40.0 million have been issued leaving $62.5 million available. The securities may be offered from time to time at prices and upon terms to be determined at the time of sale. However, due to the currently depressed price of the Company's common shares and downgrades of the Company's public debt and preferred stock ratings in March, June, July and October 1999, it is unlikely that the Company will be in a position to offer any securities under its shelf registration statement in the near future.
Operating Partnership:
The Company entered into an operating partnership structured as a DownREIT of which an aggregate 20% is owned by limited partners. Interests held by limited partners in real estate partnerships controlled by the Company are reflected as "Operating partnership minority interest" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Capital contributions, distributions and profits and losses are allocated to minority interests in accordance with the terms of the operating partnership agreement. In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating partnership, the Company issued a total of 522,032 operating partnership units ("OP units") which consist of 84,630 Class A OP units, 36,530 Class B OP units, 115,124 Class C OP units, 62,313 Class D OP units, and 223,435 Class E OP units. Pursuant to terms of the underlying agreements, the B and C OP units were exchanged into A OP units effective June 30, 1999. The OP units may, under certain circumstances, become exchangeable into common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis. The Class A unitholders are entitled to receive cumulative distributions per OP unit equal to the per share distributions on the Company's common shares. At September 30, 1999, the Company charged $152,704 to minority interest in operating partnership in the Consolidated Statements of Income relating to the Class A unitholders allocated share of net income. At September 30, 1999, the Class D and Class E unitholders were not entitled to receive an allocation of net income and did not receive nor were entitled to receive any cash distributions from the operating partnership.
Merger Contingent Consideration Paid and Payable:
Subject to certain conditions, adjustments and achievements of specified performance goals, the MIGRA Stockholders' Conversion Rights entitle the MIGRA Stockholders to receive (a) on the second issuance date (June 30, 1999), an amount of $872,935 payable in common shares of the Company using the average closing price of the common shares for the 20 trading days immediately preceding June 30, 1999, (approximately 74,994 common shares at a price of $11.64 per share) subject to certain price adjustments as provided for in the Merger Agreement and (b) on the third issuance date (June 30, 2000) $2,982,917 worth of common shares of the Company of which $872,935 is based on the average closing price of the common shares for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the date the consideration was paid and $2,109,982 is based on a closing price of $23.63 per the merger agreement. The obligation of the Company to issue common shares on the second issuance date was contingent upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Windsor Pines property and the MIGRA stockholders' submission to the Company of multifamily property acquisition opportunities with an aggregate gross asset value of at least $50 million and an average yield of at least 85% of the pro forma yield of the properties being acquired by the Company in connection with the acquisitions (the "Minimum Yield"). The obligation of the Company to issue common shares on the third issuance date is contingent upon the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the Windsor at Kirkman property and the MIGRA stockholders' submission to the Company of an additional $50 million of multifamily property acquisition opportunities with the Minimum Yield.
In 1999, the Company issued 74,994 common shares for the benefit of the former MIGRA shareholders. This issuance was made pursuant to the contingent consideration provisions of the MIGRA merger agreement. These shares were entitled to the dividend payments which were declared on June 21 and October 7, 1999, and amounted to $56,246. Such shares were recorded at their, then, fair value of $872,935 and increased the recorded amount of the intangible asset associated with the purchase of MIGRA. At September 30, 1999, a total of 30,000 shares of the 74,994 shares were held in escrow for the benefit of the former MIGRA shareholders.
In October 1999, the Company settled the purchase price adjustment relating to the assets and liabilities (as defined in the related agreement) assumed in connection with the MIGRA merger. The MIGRA merger agreement provided that such adjustment would be determined on the one-year anniversary of the merger. Accordingly, the Company paid a net of approximately $1.25 million with respect to the purchase price adjustment. The consideration paid was funded by proceeds from the sale, at par (including accrued interest) of a large receivable to affiliates, the former MIGRA shareholders. This purchase price adjustment increased the Company's recorded amount of the intangible asset initially recorded at the date of the merger.
The Company also believes that the conditions for the payment of additional contingent consideration on the second anniversary of the merger pursuant to the MIGRA merger agreement will be satisfied. Such amounts, although not recorded as of September 30, 1999, since the consideration has not yet been exchanged, approximate $3.0 million. It is expected that this amount will increase the Company's recorded intangible asset. Amortization expense of approximately $149,150 was recorded at September 30, 1999 in respect of this portion of the consideration. This second anniversary payment represents the final payment pursuant to the merger agreement.
Acquisitions, development and dispositions:
Any future multifamily property acquisitions or development would be financed with the most appropriate sources of capital, which may include the assumption of mortgage indebtedness, bank and other institutional borrowings, through the exchange of properties, undistributed Funds From Operations, or secured debt financings.
The Company currently has letters of intent to purchase one multifamily property, located in Lawrenceville, Georgia, containing an aggregate of 308 units for a total purchase price of approximately $23.4 million and a 24 acre parcel of land located in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania on which the Company plans to construct 436 units for a total purchase price of approximately $2.1 million. The Company may finance the acquisition of the multifamily property or may purchase the property in a joint venture transaction using the funds received from the sale of five operating properties, which have been set aside to execute a like-kind exchange and proceeds received from the project specific, nonrecourse mortgage refinancing.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company completed the construction and leasing of 440 units at three of the Company's development properties.
The Company is in the process of constructing or planning the construction of an additional 1,615 units to be owned by the Company as follows:
Idlewylde | Atlanta, Georgia | 843 | 2nd Qtr. 2002 |
Village at Avon | Avon, Ohio | 312 | 4th Qtr. 2000 |
Windsor at Kirkman Apartments | Orlando, Florida | 460 | 4thQtr. 1999 |
1,615 |
The Company is exploring opportunities to dispose of some of its joint venture, Government-Assisted and congregate care multifamily properties and 22 Market-rate Properties (18 located in Ohio and four located in Michigan). The Company has retained a financial advisor to evaluate the alternatives relating to the disposition of its ownership of some of its Government-Assisted properties.
On October 29, 1999, one of MIG's advisory client's sold a property that MIG was managing and advising which generated $335,000 of disposition fee income. The Company recognized management fees of $46,080 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
During September 1999, MIG sold a multifamily property on behalf of a pension fund client. The Company recognized an asset disposition fee of $127,500 and management fees of $70,700 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
On August 17, 1999, the Company entered into a contract to sell one of its Northeast Ohio Market-rate properties. The Company anticipates that this asset will be sold during 1999. The net real estate assets of this property is presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as property held for sale.
The sale of any or all of these assets may have either an accretive or dilutive effect on earnings depending upon the application of proceeds derived from the sale, which will not be known until shortly before or at the time of sale.
During 1999, the Company sold seven operating properties for net cash proceeds of $32.2 million, resulting in a gain of $15.3 million. The net cash proceeds of $13.4 million which were received from the sale of five operating properties were placed in a trust which restricts the Company's use of these funds for the exclusive purchase of other property of like-kind and qualifying use. These funds are presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as restricted cash. The like-kind exchange must occur prior to December 3, 1999.
MIG has two properties under contract to be acquired for two of its advisory clients, which will be managed in accordance with the terms of advisory contracts currently in place.
Management Contract Cancellation:
On January 13, 1999, the Company terminated its management contract for Longwood Apartments, which resulted in a loss of management fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 of approximately $222,000. Moreover, pursuant to the terms of the HUD Settlement Agreement discussed in Note 7 of the notes to the financial statements, the Company may terminate its management contract for Park Village Apartments, which will result in a partial loss of management fee income in 1999. The management fees collected for Park Village Apartments for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $16,007.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of a separate settlement agreement with affiliates entered into in conjunction with the settlement agreement with the Corporation as discussed in Note 8, the Company has agreed to end its management of two commercial properties owned by certain affiliated persons upon 60 days prior written notice from the respective owners of those properties. Effective October 1, 1999, the management contracts of these commercial properties were canceled. The management fees generated from these two commercial properties were $27,562 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
In March 1999, the Company lost management fees from Euclid Medical & Commercial Arts Building, a non-owned commercial property, because of foreclosure proceedings. The management fees generated from this property for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $20,728; no fees were recognized for the period after March 31, 1999. Additionally, due to the sale of a property in September 1999, the Company has lost management fees from a managed, but non-owned property. The management fees generated from this property for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $7,835.
In addition, if the Company proceeds with the proposed sale of its interests in certain joint venture properties, the Company would no longer receive the management fees attributable to those properties and one other property. The management fees net of consulting fees generated for these properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $649,125. Certain third party owners of properties currently managed by the Company have entered into contracts to sell those properties, subject to certain contingencies. To the extent those third party owned properties are sold, the Company would similarly no longer receive the management fees generated from the respective properties. The aggregate management fees generated for these properties for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $313,620.
The owners of two non-owned managed properties have contracted to sell these properties. Upon the sale of these properties, it is likely that the management contracts will be canceled. The Company recognized management fees of $10,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The impact of the loss of management fee revenues would generally be partially offset by a reduction in operating expenses.
Dividends:
On October 7, 1999, the Company declared a dividend of $0.375 per common share for the quarter ending September 30, 1999, which was paid on November 1, 1999 to shareholders of record on October 15, 1999. The common share dividend was reduced to $0.375 from $0.465 in order to reduce the Company's dividend payout ratio. On August 17, 1999, the Company declared a dividend of $0.60938 per Depositary Share on its Class A Cumulative Preferred Shares (the "Perpetual Preferred Shares") which was paid on September 15, 1999 to shareholders of record on September 1, 1999. At the current dividend level, the Company is a net borrower and will continue to monitor earnings expectations to determine if any changes should be made with respect to the dividend policy.
Cash flow sources and applications:
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,766,100 from $30,168,600 to $28,402,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 when compared with the nine months ended September 30, 1998. This increase was the result of increases in depreciation and amortization, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable and other operating assets and liabilities offset by funds received from accounts and notes receivable of affiliates and joint ventures and decreases in funds held for non-owned managed properties as well as an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and funds held for non-owned managed properties of affiliates and joint ventures.
Net cash flows used for investing activities of $16,531,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were primarily used for the development of multifamily real estate and capital expenditures.
Net cash flows used for financing activities of $1,360,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were primarily comprised of proceeds received from the mortgage financing of 25 properties. Funds were also used to pay dividends on the Company's common and Perpetual Preferred Shares as well as repayments on the Line of Credit and a $20 million MTN that matured in September 1999.
During the remainder of 1999 and 2000, approximately $94.1 million of the Company's debt will mature. The Company intends to repay any such debt as it matures through a combination of new secured borrowings and property sales proceeds. The Company intends to pay off all of its outstanding Senior Notes and MTN's pursuant to the tender offer described herein.

The decrease in property and asset management fee revenues is primarily due to the loss of management contracts and sale of an advisory client.
The Company recognized asset disposition fee revenue of $127,500 and $0 for the quarters ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The fee relates to MIG selling a multifamily property on behalf of a pension fund client in September 1999.

The amortization expense related to the intangible assets is reflected as a charge to the Management and Service Operations.
General and administrative expenses increased $523,200 or 17% for the quarter. This increase is primarily attributable to payroll and related expenses and other consulting and professional fees incurred by the Company principally related to system processes, tax, accounting and operating consulting services. The increase related to general and administrative expenses of approximately $699,200 is classified as Unallocated Corporate Overhead.
Interest expense increased $2,742,900 or 37.3% for the quarter primarily due to the interest incurred with respect to the project specific, nonrecourse mortgage financing collateralized by 25 properties owned by the REIT.
The gain on sale of properties of $1,049,700 for 1999 resulted from the sale of an operating property.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 1998
In the following discussion of the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to the nine months ended September 30, 1998, Market-rate Properties refers to the Same Store and Acquired/Disposal Property portfolios. Same Store Properties represents 28 of the 34 wholly owned multifamily properties acquired by the Company at the time of the IPO, the 41 properties acquired in separate transactions or developed by the Company during 1994 and 1997 and the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in two properties in which the Company was a joint venture partner at the time of the IPO.

Other Revenues:
The Company recognized property and asset management fee revenues of $3,912,200 and $1,785,500, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $3,256,700 of property management fees and $636,100 of asset management fees for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in property and asset management fee revenues is primarily due to additional fees earned by MIGRA relating to their institutional investor clients.
The Company recognized asset acquisition fee revenue of $121,700 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The fee relates to MIG acquiring a multifamily property on behalf of a pension fund client in May 1999.

Property operating and maintenance expenses at the Acquired/Disposed Properties increased $5,131,200 or 46.5% for the nine month period due primarily to the operating and maintenance expenses incurred at the 17 properties acquired between January 1, 1998 and September 30, 1999 as well as the newly constructed and repositioned properties. Property operating and maintenance expenses at the Same Store Properties increased $1,532,500 or 5.5% when compared to the prior nine month period primarily due to increases in personnel, advertising, utilities, real estate taxes and local taxes, and the one time effect of refining certain cutoff procedures and its estimation process for the accumulation of property operating expense accrual adjustments.

The amortization expense related to the intangible assets is reflected as a charge to the Management and Service Operations.
General and administrative expenses increased $5,450,500 or 81.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to increased payroll and related expenses arising principally from the MIGRA merger as well as from increased employee headcount and wages, and other consulting and professional fees incurred by the Company principally related to system processes, tax, accounting and operating consulting services. During the second quarter of 1999, a severance benefit of $550,000 was paid to an executive officer of the Company. The increase related to general and administrative expenses of approximately $4,528,700 is classified as Unallocated Corporate Overhead.
Interest expense increased $6,554,500 or 31.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 primarily due to the interest incurred with respect to the project specific, nonrecourse mortgage financing collateralized by 25 properties owned by the REIT.
The Company recognized a charge for funds advanced to a non-owned property totaling $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The Company is continuing its collection efforts in connection with this receivable.
The gain on sale of properties of $13,880,000 for 1999 resulted from the sale of six operating properties.
Extraordinary items:
The extraordinary item of $1,808,700 recognized during 1999 represents a $750,000 facility fee charge, $126,500 interest breakage fee and a $932,200 write off of deferred finance costs related to the termination of the unsecured line of credit facility. The $124,900 charge recognized in 1998 relates to the write off of the deferred financing fees related to the termination of a $100 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Cumulative effect:
Effective January 1, 1999, the Company changed its method of accounting to capitalize expenditures for certain replacements and improvements, such as new HVAC equipment, structural replacements, appliances, flooring, carpeting and kitchen/bath replacements and renovations to the capitalization method. Previously, these costs were charged to operations as incurred. Ordinary repairs and maintenance, such as suite cleaning and painting, and appliance repairs are expensed. The Company believes the change in the capitalization method provides an improved measure of the Company's capital investment, provides a better matching of expenses with the related benefit of such expenditures, including associated revenues, and is in the opinion of management, consistent with industry practice. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle increased net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 by $4,319,162 or $.19 per share (basic and diluted). The effect of this change was to increase income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle by $5,530,903 or $.25 per share (basic and diluted) for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The pro forma amounts shown on the income statement have been adjusted to reflect the retroactive application of the capitalization of such expenditures and related depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of which increased net income by $579,200 or $.03 per share (basic and diluted).
Net income applicable to common shares:
Net income applicable to common shares is reduced by dividends on the Perpetual Preferred Shares of $4,113,300.
Equity in net income of joint ventures:
The combined equity in net income of joint ventures increased $200 or 0.17% and $30,700 or 9.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase is due primarily to a decrease in the costs of operations.
The following table presents the historical statements of operations of the Company's beneficial interest in the operations of the joint ventures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.

Outlook
The long term goal for the Company is to acquire and develop a portfolio of economically and geographically diversified institutional quality multifamily assets. The goal extends to the effective and efficient operation and management of those assets. Implementation of this goal will be through balanced investment in direct acquisition and co-investment with institutional investors.
It is expected that individual acquisitions will be primarily located in the select metropolitan areas of Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Orlando, South Florida and Tampa until operational efficiencies are maximized. Management believes that these markets offer excellent diversification characteristics as well as growth potential. Over the next several years, the Company's focus is expected to expand to multiple major markets. In addition to these direct investment markets, the Company plans to co-invest with institutional clients in many markets that are in the long term investment horizon. As with all growth markets at this time, new development is active in these markets. The Company's market research and operational experience in these areas will guide site selection and pricing.
Investing for and with institutional investors is a major component of the Company's growth strategy. The recent allocation from two advised clients for discretionary multifamily acquisition will enhance the Company's acquisition efforts. Purchases on behalf of these clients are expected to improve operational efficiency and generate advisory income.
In addition to acquisitions on behalf of advised clients, the Company is initiating co-investment with institutional investors. These co-investments will include both purchase and development opportunities. Co-investment in the purchase of stabilized assets is expected to offer low volatility and immediate cash flow. The development program allows the Company and its institutional partners to seek the high yields anticipated with development. The expected equity division for both co-investment forms is 25% to 49% from the Company and 51% to 75% from institutional investors.
Management believes this co-investment program should allow the Company to increase operational efficiency in growth markets at a more rapid pace than direct individual investment because it requires less capital resources from the Company but allows the Company to apply its expertise in multifamily management. The programs described above are currently being actively marketed and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract institutional capital to fund these programs.
Given the Midwestern concentration of the Market-rate portfolio, management's performance expectations are consistent with the recent past. Management projects that the market-rate rental growth for existing assets will be a modest 2.5% over the next twelve months. General market expectations for locations where the Company has significant concentrations are as follows: Columbus is experiencing construction levels consistent with recent employment growth, Cleveland continues to exhibit stability, Michigan markets are slowing from rapid growth in 1998, Indianapolis continues to improve, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and South Florida are in equilibrium with significant additions to employment and multifamily supply, and Orlando is currently performing well in spite of significant construction.
Inflation
Management's belief is that any effects of minor inflation fluctuations would be minimal on the operational performance of its portfolio primarily due to the high correlation between inflation and housing costs combined with the short term nature, typically one year, of the leases. In addition, the fixed rate nature of the Company's current debt obligations virtually eliminates any negative effect of inflation on income.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
At September 30, 1999, the Company had $18.1 million of variable rate debt. Additionally, the Company has interest rate risk associated with fixed rate debt at maturity.
Management has and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows: (i) maintain a conservative ratio of fixed rate, long term debt to total debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level; (ii) consider a hedge for certain long term variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps or interest rate caps; and (iii) use treasury locks where appropriate to hedge rates on anticipated debt transactions. Management uses various financial models and advisors to achieve those objectives.
The table below provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

On October 8, 1999, the Company collateralized an individual mortgage on one property for $13.3 million in project specific, nonrecourse loans from The Chase Manhattan Bank. The loan has a maturity of 8 years and a fixed interest rate of 7.86%.
Upon completion of the anticipated cash tender offer transaction as discussed in Note 14 of the financial statements, the Company will pay off the MTN's and Senior Notes during 1999 and anticipates replacing them with new property specific debt.
Sensitivity Analysis
The Company estimates that a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would have changed the fair value of fixed rate debt to a liability of $568.8 million. The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Company's fixed rate debt was determined with a valuation model based upon changes that measure the net present value of such obligation which arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.
Year 2000 Compliance
The year 2000 issue ("Year 2000") is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's computer programs or hardware that have date sensitive software or embedded chips may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, pay vendors or engage in similar normal business activities.
The Company believes that it has identified all of its information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems to assess their Year 2000 readiness. Critical IT systems include, but are not limited to, operating and data networking and communication systems, accounts receivable and rent collections, accounts payable and general ledger, human resources and payroll, cash management and all IT hardware (such as servers, desktop/laptop computers and data networking equipment). Critical non-IT systems include telephone systems, fax machines, copy machines and property environmental, access and security systems (such as elevators and alarm systems).
The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue has involved the following four phases: assessment, remediation, testing and implementation. The Company has conducted an assessment and/or survey of its core IT and non-IT systems at both its corporate offices and properties and believes it is 100% complete on such assessment.
Much of the mission critical operating systems, networking and accounting software that has been purchased over the past few years has been represented by vendors to already be Year 2000 compliant. The property management software currently being used at the Company's corporate offices and which has been rolled out to the properties during the second and third quarters of 1999 has been affirmed by the vendor to be tested and Year 2000 compliant. Hardware upgrades at all of the properties are substantially complete. Testing by the Company of all such critical systems represented by the vendors to be compliant is substantially complete. Software patches are being applied routinely as vendors continue to release through year-end.
The costs to upgrade and convert have been considered in the Company's cash flow requirements for 1999 and have already been substantially incurred as part of an overall upgrade plan implemented this year.
The Company believes it has identified all non-IT systems at all properties and expects to have 100% of its remediation and/or testing complete on these systems by mid-November. Findings to date suggest a low incidence of non-compliance on critical systems.
In most cases, various third party vendors have been queried on their Year 2000 readiness. While many responses have been received to such queries (especially by banks and other large financial institutions), many vendors have not yet responded. The Company continues to query its significant suppliers and vendors to determine the extent to which the Company's interface systems are vulnerable to those third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 issues. To date, the Company is not aware of any significant suppliers or vendors with a Year 2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's results of operations, liquidity or capital resources. However, there can be no assurances that the systems of other companies, on which the Company's systems rely, will be timely converted and would not have an adverse effect on the Company's systems.
The Company believes it has an effective program in place that will resolve the Year 2000 issue in a timely manner. In addition, the Company has commenced its contingency planning for critical operational areas that might be affected by the Year 2000 issue if compliance by the Company is delayed. The Company's contingency plans involve training and increased awareness at the property management level, manual workarounds and adjustment of staffing strategies. The Company intends to have its contingency planning complete by mid-November.
Aside from the catastrophic failure of banks, utility providers or government agencies, the Company believes it could continue its normal business operations even if compliance by the Company is delayed. In the event of such catastrophic failures, the Company would be unable to deposit rent checks, transfer cash, wire money, pay vendors by check, or invest excess funds. The Company could be subject to litigation for its inability to access cash to pay vendors or failure to properly record business transactions or if utility, security or access systems fail at properties. However, given that the Company intends to have contingency planning in place and that the nature of its day-to-day real estate operations is not heavily reliant on technology, the Company does not believe that the Year 2000 issue will materially impact its results of operations, liquidity or capital resources
CONTINGENCIES
Environmental
There are no recorded amounts resulting from environmental liabilities and there are no known contingencies with respect thereto. Future claims for environmental liabilities are not measurable given the uncertainties surrounding whether there exists a basis for any such claims to be asserted and, if so, whether any claims will, in fact, be asserted. Furthermore, no condition is known to exist that would give rise to a liability for site restoration, post closure and monitoring commitments, or other costs that may be incurred with respect to the sale or disposal of a property. Phase I environmental audits have been completed on all of the Company's wholly owned and joint venture properties.
Rainbow Terrace Apartments
On February 9, 1998, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") notified the Company that Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Inc. ("RTA"), the Company's subsidiary corporation that owns Rainbow Terrace Apartments, was in default under the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Housing Assistance Payments Contract ("HAP Contract") pertaining to this property. Among other matters, HUD alleged that the property was poorly managed and that RTA had failed to complete certain physical improvements to the property. Moreover, HUD claimed that the owner was not in compliance with numerous technical regulations concerning whether certain expenses were properly chargeable to the property. As provided in the Regulatory Agreement and HAP Contract, in the event of a default, HUD has the right to exercise various remedies including terminating future payments under the HAP Contract and foreclosing the government-insured mortgage encumbering the property.
This controversy arose out of a Comprehensive Management Review of the property initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997, which included a complete physical inspection of the property. In a series of written responses to HUD, the Company stated its belief that it had corrected the management deficiencies cited by HUD in the Comprehensive Management Review (other than the completion of certain physical improvements to the property) and justified the expenditures questioned by HUD as being properly chargeable to the property in accordance with HUD's regulations. Moreover, the Company stated its belief that it had repaired any physical deficiencies noted by HUD in its Comprehensive Management Review that might pose a threat to the life and safety of its residents.
In June 1998, HUD notified the Company that all future Housing Assistance Payments ("HAP") for RTA were abated and instructed the lender to accelerate the balance due under the mortgage. Subsequent to the notification of HAP abatements and the acceleration of the mortgage, the lender advised the Company that the acceleration notification had been rescinded pursuant to HUD's instruction. HUD then notified the Company that the HAP payments would be reinstated and that HUD was reviewing further information concerning RTA provided by the Company. The Company has received all monthly HAP payments for RTA during 1998.
In June 1998, the Company filed a lawsuit against HUD seeking to compel HUD to review certain budget based rent increases submitted to HUD by the Company in 1995.
From June 1998 to March 1999, the Company was involved in ongoing negotiations with HUD for the purpose of resolving these and other disputes concerning other properties managed or formerly managed by the Company or one of the Service Companies, which were similarly the subject of Comprehensive Management Reviews initiated by HUD in the Spring of 1997.
On March 12, 1999, the Company, Associated Estates Management Company ("AEMC"), RTA, PVA Limited Partnership ("PVA"), the owner of Park Village Apartments, and HUD, entered into a comprehensive settlement agreement (the "Settlement Agreement") for the purpose of resolving certain disputes concerning property operations at Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Park Village Apartments ("Park Village"), Longwood Apartments ("Longwood") and Vanguard Apartments ("Vanguard"). Longwood was managed by the Company until January 13, 1999. Park Village is currently managed by the Company. Vanguard was formerly managed by AEMC until December 1997. All four properties are encumbered by HUD insured mortgages, governed by HUD imposed regulatory agreements and subsidized by Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments.
Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, HUD has agreed to pay RTA a retroactive rent increase totaling $1,784,467. HUD has further agreed to release the Company, AEMC, RTA and the owners and principals of PVA, Longwood and Vanguard from all claims (other than tax or criminal fraud claims) regarding the ownership or operation of Rainbow Terrace Apartments, Park Village, Longwood and Vanguard. Moreover, HUD has agreed not to issue a limited denial of participation, debarment or suspension, program fraud civil remedy action or civil money penalty, resulting from the ownership or management of any of these projects, or to deny eligibility to any of their owners, management agents or affiliates for participation in any HUD program on such basis.
HUD's obligations under the Settlement Agreement are conditioned upon the performance by the Company, RTA and PVA of certain obligations, the most significant of which is the obligation to identify, on or before April 11, 1999, prospective purchasers for both Rainbow Terrace Apartments and Park Village who are acceptable to HUD, and upon HUD's approval, convey those projects to such purchasers. Alternatively, if RTA and PVA are unable to identify prospective purchasers acceptable to HUD, then RTA and PVA have agreed to convey both projects to HUD pursuant to deeds in lieu of foreclosure. In either case (conveyance to a HUD approved purchaser or deed in lieu of foreclosure), no remuneration will be received by either RTA or PVA in return, except for the $1,784,467 retroactive rent increase payable to RTA mentioned above. At September 30, 1999, the Company had receivables of $1,784,467 related to the 1995 and 1998 retroactive rental increase requests. At September 30, 1999, RTA had net assets of approximately $1,827,319, including the retroactive rent receivable of $1,784,467 due from HUD, and a remaining amount due under the mortgage of $1,935,123. The transfer of RTA to a purchaser which is acceptable to HUD or the direct transfer of RTA to HUD is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company has excluded RTA's results of operations from its Consolidated Statement of Income for 1999. RTA and PVA requested HUD to extend the April 11, 1999 deadline for identification of potential purchasers. HUD granted that request and the deadline was extended to May 31, 1999. The Company believes that RTA and PVA have satisfied their obligations to identify prospective purchasers for those properties.
During the third quarter, RTA, with respect to Rainbow Terrace Apartments, and PVA, with respect to Park Village, entered into contracts to sell those properties, subject to, among other matters, HUD approval. Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, HUD has the right to approve or disapprove those prospective purchasers. Alternatively, HUD may require RTA and PVA to convey these properties to HUD by deed in lieu of foreclosure. The Company expects HUD to announce its decision soon.

Industry analysts generally consider Funds From Operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, non-recurring and extraordinary items, plus depreciation on real estate assets and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. 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 and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable Cash Flow 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 Distributable Cash Flow should be presented in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated financial statements and data included elsewhere in this report.
FFO and Funds Available for Distribution ("Distributable Cash Flow") for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 are summarized in the following table:
For the nine months | ||||
ended September 30, | ||||

Depreciation - other assets | 719 | 306 | 2,187 | 899 |
Amortization of deferred financing fees | 270 | 312 | 930 | 717 |
Fixed asset additions | (5,101) | (1,166) | (9,212) | (5,222) |
Fixed asset additions - joint venture properties | (73) | (65) | (316) | (86) |
Distributable Cash Flow | $ 2,432 | $ 9,351 | $16,654 | $23,402 |
Weighted average shares - Basic | 21,617 | 22,599 | 22,224 | 18,956 |
- Diluted | 21,617 | 23,059 | 22,225 | 19,111 |
(1) DCF could be increased by up to the full amount of the gain on sale of operating properties, $12,830,000, should the 1031 like-kind exchange not take place. At a minimum, DCF would likely be increased by $3,400,000 which is the Company's taxable gain. This would be a one time adjustment.
Except to the extent noted below, the items required in Part II are inapplicable or, if applicable, would be answered in the negative and have been omitted.
