     From July 26, 1996 through August 7, 1996, Bay Apartment Communities, Inc.
(the "Company") acquired four properties for an aggregate purchase price of

August 7, 1996 are described below. Substantially all of the purchase price for
each of the properties acquired on July 26, 1996 was funded by drawing on the
Company's $200 million unsecured line of credit from Union Bank of Switzerland
and substantially all of the purchase price for each of the properties acquired
on August 7, 1996 was funded using the proceeds from the Company's underwritten
public offering of 5,750,000 shares of common stock on August 5, 1996. Neither
the Company, any subsidiary of the Company nor any director or officer of the
Company was affiliated with or had a material relationship with the seller of
any property described below.

     MILL CREEK.  On July 26, 1996, the Company purchased from Transamerica

     THE FOUNTAINS.  On July 26, 1996, the Company purchased from Keystone
California Corp. a 226 apartment home community located in San Jose, California

repaint the entire exterior of this community and make other minor repairs.

     CHANNING HEIGHTS.  On August 7, 1996, the Company purchased from Channing
Heights Associates a 254 apartment home community located in San Rafael,
California ("Channing Heights") for approximately $24.5 million plus additional
transaction costs of approximately $400,000. The Company intends to replace the
community's roof, repair and repaint its exterior siding, upgrade its
interiors, replace its leasing facility and fitness center and substantially
upgrade its landscaping.

     MARTINIQUE GARDENS.  On August 7, 1996, the Company purchased from S & P

("Martinique Gardens") for approximately $7.5 million. The Company expects to
substantially rebuild this community, including replacing its roof, repairing
and repainting its exterior siding, replacing all apartment home interiors,
rebuilding its leasing facility and fitness center, adding a substantial number
of new garages, repaving its roadways and replacing the swimming pool and all 
of the landscaping. The pro forma impact of this acquisition was reported in the

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                               __________________

1.     Basis of Presentation:

The pro forma financial statements of Bay Apartment Communities, Inc. (the
"Company"), which are unaudited, have been prepared based on the historical
financial statements of the Company.  The pro forma consolidated balance sheet
has been prepared as if the acquisition of the three apartment communities in
July and August, 1996 (the "1996 Acquisition Communities"), the Company's
second public offering in August, 1996 (the "Offering"), and paydowns on the
$200 million unsecured line of credit (the "1996 Credit Facility"), had
occurred on June 30, 1996.  The pro forma consolidated statements of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and the year ended December 31, 1995,
have been prepared as if the above mentioned events had occurred on January 1,
1995.   In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.  The pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of the Company.

The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of  operations of the Company would have been for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 or for the year ended December 31, 1995 had the 1996
Acquisition Communities, the Offering, and paydowns on the 1996 Credit Facility
occurred on January 1, 1995, nor do they purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.

2.     PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

        A.  Additional real estate assets are attributable to the 1996 
            Acquisition Communities which consist of the $27.9 million
            acquisition of The Fountains Apartments, the $24.5 million
            acquisition of Channing Heights Apartments, and the $17.5 million
            acquisition of  Mill Creek Apartments.

        B.  Decrease in cash and cash equivalents is attributable to cash used 
            to acquire the 1996  Acquisition Communities.

        C.  Increase in other liabilities is attributable to resident deposits 
            and accrued property taxes from the 1996 Acquisition Communities.

        D.  Increase in cash and cash equivalents is attributable to $134.2 
            million in net proceeds from the Offering offset by the $64.7
            million paydown of the 1996 Credit Facility.

        E.  Decrease in notes payable is attributable to the paydown of the 
            1996 Credit Facility.

        F.  Increase in common stock is attributable to the issuance of shares 
            in the Offering.

2.     Pro Forma Adjustments, continued:

        G.  Additional paid in capital is attributable to the net proceeds 
            from the Offering.

        H.  Additional rental and other revenue is attributable to the 1996 
            Acquisition Communities.

        I.  Additional property operating expense, property tax expense, and 
            general and administrative expense are attributable to the 1996
            Acquisition Communities.

        J.  Depreciation expense attributable to the 1996 Acquisition 
            Communities has been computed using the straight-line method over 
            30 years for buildings and 7 years for furniture, fixtures and 
            equipment.

The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as
