Item 1.  Business

          The Company

          Home Properties of New York, Inc. ("Home Properties" or the "Company")
          is a  self-administered  and self-managed real estate investment trust
          ("REIT")  that  owns,   manages,   acquires  and  develops   apartment
          communities in the  Northeastern,  Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern  United
          States.  It was formed to continue and expand the  operations  of Home
          Leasing Corporation ("Home Leasing"). The Company completed an initial
          public  offering of  5,408,000  shares of common  stock (the "IPO") on
          August 4, 1994.

          The Company conducts its business through Home Properties of New York,
          L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),  a New York limited partnership in
          which the Company held a 56.1% partnership interest as of December 31,
          1997 (68.2% at December 31, 1996) and two  management  companies  (the
          "Management  Companies")  -  Home  Properties  Management,  Inc.  ("HP
          Management") and Conifer Realty Corporation  ("Conifer Realty"),  both
          of which are Maryland corporations.

          Home  Properties,  through its affiliates  described  above, and as of
          December 31,  1997,  operated 158  communities  with 21,316  apartment
          units  (the  "Owned  Properties").   Of  these,  14,048  units  in  63
          communities are owned outright, 4,782 units are managed by the Company
          as general  partner,  and 2,486  units are  managed  for other  owners
          (primarily affiliates) (collectively,  the "Managed Properties").  The
          Management   Companies  are  also  involved  in  the  development  and
          redevelopment of government-assisted apartment communities and certain
          other development activities.

          The Owned  Properties and the Managed  Properties  (collectively,  the
          "Properties") are concentrated in the following market areas:

          In  addition,  since  December  31,  1997,  the Company  acquired  967
          additional  units as  follows:  310 units in a suburb  of South  Bend,
          Indiana,  110  units  in  a  suburb  of  Philadelphia,  254  units  in
          Alexandria, Virginia and 293 units apartment in Arlington, Virginia.

          The Company's mission is to provide  investors with dependable,  above
          average  returns  and to be the first  choice of renters in its chosen
          markets.  The Company's  strategy for accomplishing its mission is to:
          (i) acquire,  reposition and operate multifamily  apartment properties
          in its target markets; (ii) continue the development and redevelopment
          of  apartment   communities  utilizing  various  forms  of  government
          assistance  programs;   and  (iii)  maintain  its  focus  on  customer
          satisfaction  by serving the Company's  residents  with  integrity and
          respect and providing value and service that exceeds expectations.

          Structure

          The Company was formed in November, 1993 as a Maryland corporation and
          is the general partner of the Operating  Partnership.  On December 31,
          1997,  it owned a 56.1%  interest in the  Operating  Partnership - one
          percent as general  partner  and the  remainder  as a limited  partner
          through its wholly owned  subsidiary Home Properties  Trust. The other
          limited partner  interests (the "Units") in the Operating  Partnership
          are owned by the officers of the Company and certain  individuals  who
          acquired Units in the Operating  Partnership as partial  consideration
          for their interests in entities owning apartment communities purchased
          by the Operating  Partnership.  In addition, on December 30, 1996, the
          State  of  Michigan  Retirement  Systems  acquired  1,666,667  Class A
          Interests  in the  Operating  Partnership  (at  December 31, 1997 this
          represented a 10% interest).

          The Operating  Partnership is a New York limited partnership formed in
          December,  1993.  Holders of Units in the  Operating  Partnership  may
          redeem a Unit  for one  share of the  Company's  common  stock or cash
          equal to the fair market value at the time of the  redemption,  at the
          option of the Company. The Company currently  anticipates that it will
          issue shares of common stock rather than pay cash in  connection  with
          such redemptions.  Management expects that it will continue to utilize
          Units  as  partial  consideration  for a  significant  portion  of its
          acquisition properties.

          Both of the  Management  Companies  were  formed  to  comply  with the
          technical  requirements  of federal income tax laws. Both are Maryland
          corporations.  HP Management  was formed in January,  1994 and Conifer
          Realty was formed in December,  1995. The Operating  Partnership holds
          99% of the economic interest in both Management Companies, with Nelson
          and Norman  Leenhouts  (the  "Leenhoutses")  holding the remaining one
          percent  interest in HP Management and the  Leenhoutses and Richard J.
          Crossed, holding the remaining one percent interest in Conifer Realty.
          The  Management   Companies   manage,   for  a  fee,  certain  of  the
          residential,  commercial and development activities of the Company and
          provide construction,  development and redevelopment  services for the
          Company.

          In  September  1997,  Home  Properties  Trust  ("QRS") was formed as a
          Maryland real estate trust and as a qualified  REIT  subsidiary,  with
          100% of its  shares  being  owned  by the  Company.  The QRS has  been
          admitted as a limited  partner of the  Operating  Partnership  and the
          Company has  transferred  all but one  percent of its  interest in the
          Operating Partnership to the QRS.

          The  Company  currently  has  approximately  1,100  employees  and its
          executive  offices are located at 850 Clinton Square,  Rochester,  New
          York 14604. Its telephone number is (716) 546-4900.

          Operating Strategies

          The Company will continue to focus on enhancing the investment returns
          of its Properties  by: (i) continuing to utilize its written  "Pledge"
          of customer  satisfaction  that is the foundation on which the Company
          is building  its  name-brand  recognition;  (ii)  acquiring  apartment
          communities at prices below new construction  costs and  repositioning
          those  properties  for  long-term   growth;   (iii)   reinforcing  its
          decentralized  company orientation by encouraging  employees' personal
          improvement and by providing extensive training; (iv) readily adopting
          new  technology  so that  the  time  spent  on  administration  can be
          decreased and the time spent  attracting and serving  residents can be
          increased;  (v)  enhancing  the  quality of living  for the  Company's
          residents by improving  the quality of service and physical  amenities
          available  at  each  community   every  year;  and  (vi)  engaging  in
          aggressive  cost  controls and taking  advantage of volume  discounts,
          thus benefiting from economies of scale while constantly improving the
          level of customer service.

          Acquisition and Development Strategies

          The Company's  strategy is to make acquisitions in geographic  regions
          that have similar climates, easy access to the Company's headquarters,
          enough apartments available for acquisition to achieve a critical mass
          and minimal  investment  ownership by other apartment REITs.  Targeted
          stock and a stable or growing job market. The Company expects that its
          growth  will be  primarily  in select  metropolitan  areas  within the
          Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Midwest United States.

          In addition, the Company intends to continue to develop and re-develop
          apartment  communities  utilizing various government  programs.  These
          activities  are  expected  to  generate   development  fees,   ongoing
          management and incentive management fees and participation in residual
          value  for the  Company.  They  also  increase  the  Company's  volume
          purchasing  ability,  provide a pipeline for future  acquisitions  and
          re-development  opportunities and position the Company to build market
          rate communities when and if it becomes economically attractive.

          Financing and Capital Strategies

          The Company intends to adhere to the following financing policies: (i)
          maintaining a ratio of debt-to-total market capitalization (total debt
          of the  Company as a  percentage  of the market  value of  outstanding
          common stock and Units plus total debt) of approximately  50% or less;
          (ii)  utilizing   primarily  fixed  rate  debt;   (iii)  varying  debt
          maturities to avoid significant exposure to interest rate changes upon
          refinancing;  and (iv)  maintaining  a line of  credit  so that it can
          respond quickly to acquisition opportunities.

          On December  31,  1997,  the  Company's  debt was  approximately  $219
          million  and the debt to total  capitalization  ratio was 33% based on
          the  year-end  closing  price of the  Company's stock at $27.1875. The
          weighted  average  interest rate on the Company's  mortgage debt

Page 5

<PAGE>

          as of
          December 31, 1997 was 7.7% and the weighted  average  maturity was 7.6
          years.  Debt  maturities are  staggered.  As of December 31, 1997, the
          Company had an unsecured line of credit of $50 million for acquisition
          and other  corporate  purposes  with an  interest  rate of LIBOR  plus
          1.25%.  As of December 31, 1997, the available  balance on the line of
          credit was $41,250,000.  As of February 20, 1998, the amount available
          on the line was $46,750,000.

          The Company  also  intends to continue to  structure  creative  equity
          transactions to raise capital with limited  transaction costs.  During
          1997, under its shelf registration,  the Company issued $15 million of
          common shares sold to two  institutional  investors and $26 million of
          common shares placed through an investment banking firm.

          In addition,  approximately  $36.4  million was raised in 1997 through
          the  sale  of  newly  issued  stock  under  the   Company's   Dividend
          Reinvestment,  Stock  Purchase,  Resident  Stock Purchase and Employee
          Stock Purchase Plan (the "Stock  Purchase  Plan").  This $36.4 million
          includes  approximately  $4.5  million  from  the sale of stock to the
          Company's  officers and  directors in  transactions  where the Company
          loaned 50% of the stock purchase price and arranged bank financing for
          the remaining 50%. The Stock Purchase Plan provides a 3% discount from
          the current market price for existing  shareholders and has provided a
          steady source of capital to fund the Company's continued growth.

          In  addition,  management  expects to continue  to fund a  significant
          portion  of its  continued  growth by taking  advantage  of its UPREIT
          structure and using Units as currency in acquisition transactions. The
          Company utilized  approximately $106 million worth of Units as partial
          consideration in acquisition transactions during 1997.

          Competition

          The Company competes with other multifamily  developers and other real
          estate  companies in seeking  properties  for  acquisition,  potential
          residents  and land for  development.  The  Company's  Properties  are
          primarily in developed  areas where there are other  properties of the
          same type which directly compete for residents. The Company,  however,
          believes that its focus on service and resident  satisfaction  and its
          focus on attracting  senior  residents  will enable it to maintain its
          historic occupancy levels. The Company also believes that the moderate
          level of new construction of multifamily  properties in its markets in
          1997 will not have a material  adverse effect on its turnover rates or
          ability to increase rents and minimize  operating  expenses.  To date,
          the Company has faced limited competition in acquiring properties from
          other  REIT's or other  operators  from  outside the region.  However,
          other  apartment  REITs are becoming more  interested in the Company's
          markets and the Company may  encounter  competition  from others as it
          seeks  attractive  properties in a broader  geographic area. Given the
          perceived  depth  of  available  opportunities,  management  does  not
          believe that increased competition will pose a significant problem.

          Regulation

          Many  laws  and   governmental   regulations  are  applicable  to  the
          Properties  and  changes  in  the  laws  and  regulations,   or  their
          interpretation by agencies and the courts, occur frequently. Under the
          Americans  with  Disabilities  Act of 1990 (the "ADA"),  all places of
          public accommodation are required to meet certain federal requirements
          related to access and use by disabled persons.  In addition,  the Fair
          Housing  Amendments  Act  of  1988  (the  "FHAA")  requires  apartment
          communities  first  occupied  after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to
          the handicapped.  Non-compliance with the ADA or the FHAA could result
          in  the  imposition  of  fines  or an  award  of  damages  to  private
          litigants.   Management   believes  that  the  Owned   Properties  are
          substantially in compliance with present ADA and FHAA requirements.

          Under various laws and  regulations  relating to the protection of the
          environment,  an owner of real estate may be held liable for the costs
          of removal or  remediation  of certain  hazardous or toxic  substances
          located  on or in its  property.  These laws  often  impose  liability
          without regard to whether the owner was responsible  for, or even knew
          of, the presence of such  substances.  The presence of such substances
          may adversely  affect the owner's ability to rent or sell the property
          or  use  the  property  as   collateral.   Independent   environmental
          consultants  have  conducted  "Phase I"  environmental  audits  (which
          involve visual  inspection  but not soil or  groundwater  analysis) on
          substantially all of the Owned  Properties.  Phase I audit reports did
          not  reveal  any  environmental  liability  that would have a material
          adverse effect on the Company.  In addition,  the Company is not aware
          of any environmental  liability that management  believes would have a
          material  adverse  effect on the Company.  There is no assurance  that
          Phase I reports  would reveal all  environmental  liabilities  or that
          environmental  conditions not known to the Company may exist now or in
          the  future  which  would  result  in  liability  to the  Company  for
          remediation or fines,  either under  existing laws and  regulations or
          future changes to such requirements.

          Under the  Federal  Fair  Housing  Act and state  fair  housing  laws,
          discrimination   on  the  basis  of  certain   protected   classes  is
          prohibited.  Violation  of  these  laws  can  result  in the  award of
          significant  damage award to victims.  The Company has a strong policy
          against any kind of  discriminatory  behavior and trains its employees
          to avoid discrimination or the appearance of discrimination.  There is
          no assurance, however, that an employee will not violate the Company's
          policy against discrimination and thus violate fair housing laws. This
          could subject the Company to legal actions and the possible imposition
          of damage awards.

Item 2.  Properties

          As  of  December  31,  1997,  the  Owned  Properties  consisted  of 63
          multifamily  residential  properties containing 14,048 apartment units
          and a 35,000 square foot ancillary shopping center located adjacent to
          a multifamily  property. At the time of the IPO, Home Properties owned
          11  multifamily   properties   containing   3,065   apartment   units.
          Simultaneous  with the closing of the IPO,  it acquired an  additional
          four  properties  containing  926  units.  In  1994,  Home  Properties
          purchased  two  additional  communities  having 472 units,  in 1995 it
          purchased three  communities  having 1,061 apartment units, in 1996 it
          purchased ten additional  communities having 1,652 apartment units and
          in 1997 it purchased 35 additional  communities having 7,496 apartment
          units.  In 1997,  the Company sold a 604 unit in  Columbus,  Ohio to a
          partnership that the Operating  Partnership  serves as general partner
          with the property to be rehabilitated using tax credits and tax exempt
          bonds.  Also

          in 1997,  the  Company  sold its only  manufactured  home
          community  consisting of 202 sites in Buffalo and a 20 unit  apartment
          community in Syracuse, New York.

          From the time of the IPO to December 31, 1997,  the Company  therefore
          experienced a net increase of 458% in the number of apartment units it
          owned.  In addition,  during the first quarter of 1998,  the Operating
          Partnership has acquired four additional  properties,  representing an
          increase of 967 Units.

          The Owned  Properties  are  located  in  established  markets  and are
          well-maintained  and well-leased.  Average  economic  occupancy at the
          Owned Properties held throughout 1996 and 1997 was 95.3% for 1997. The
          Owned  Properties  are  generally  two and three  story  garden  style
          apartment buildings in landscaped settings and a majority are of brick
          or other masonry construction. The Company believes that its strategic
          focus on appealing to mature residents and the quality of the services
          it provides to such residents result in low turnover.  The turnover at
          the Owned Properties  owned as of December 31, 1997 was  approximately
          40% for 1997,  which is  significantly  below the national average for
          garden apartments.

          Management  believes the Company was able to increase  occupancies and
          achieve  rental rate growth in excess of  inflationary  levels in 1997
          due to  physical  upgrades  made to the  Owned  Properties,  increased
          marketing  efforts  and  repositioning  activities  undertaken  at its
          recent acquisitions.
 
          Resident leases are generally for one year terms and security deposits
          equal to one month's rent are generally required.

          Certain of the Owned  Properties  secure mortgage loans. See Note 4 to
          the Consolidated Financial Statements contained herein.

          The table on the following pages illustrates  certain of the important
          characteristics of the Owned Properties as of December 31, 1997.

          Property Development

          Management  believes that new  construction of market rate multifamily
          apartments  is not  economically  feasible  in  most  of its  markets.
          Therefore,  Home Properties' development and redevelopment  activities
          are  expected  to  be  focused  on   government-assisted   multifamily
          residential  housing.  Through it  predecessors,  the Company has been
          developing   affordable   housing   for  over  20  years.   Management
          anticipates  that this  experience,  coupled  with the  financial  and
          property management strengths of the Company,  will enable the Company
          to  remain  a  regional  leader  in  the  affordable   housing  arena.
          Management  also  believes  that the  Company's  expertise in the full
          continuum of government-assisted  and market rate housing provides the
          Company with the flexibility to react to changing economic  conditions
          through all phases of economic cycles.

          In 1997, construction activities for four communities with 1,049 units
          were started; two communities with 125 units were completed; and three
          additional  communities with 159 units received allocations for future
          development.  Management is optimistic  about  prospects for continued
          growth due to  possible  changes in the  regulatory  programs  and the
          Company's broadened geographic reach.

          Healthy changes in government-assisted housing programs also appear to
          be underway.  Legislative  increases to the allocations for Low-Income
          Housing Tax Credit Program  (LIHTC) and tax exempt bond financing have
          been  proposed.  Direct rental  subsidies  under the Section 8 housing
          program  are  being  scaled  back,  which  in some  instances  may put
          pressure on owners of Section 8 housing units.  Management  feels that
          this may afford  opportunities for the Company as these properties are
          refinanced or repositioned.

          Low Income  Housing Tax Credit  Program.  Since its inception in 1986,
          the  LIHTC   program  has  been   responsible   for  the  creation  or
          rehabilitation  of more than 900,000  rental units for low or moderate
          income Americans. This amounts to approximately 40% of all multifamily
          apartments produced in the last decade. Under this program, states are
          authorized  to  allocate  federal  tax  credits  as an  incentive  for
          developers  to build rental  housing for low income  households.  Each
          state has  received an  allocation  of tax credits  from the  Internal
          Revenue Service in an amount equal to $1.25 per state  resident.  This
          amount has not been adjusted for over a decade.  However,  legislation
          has  recently  been   introduced   to  increase  the  housing   credit
          allocations  by 40% to $1.75 per  capita,  with  indexing  for  future
          inflation.  It is  expected  that  the cap  boost,  if  adopted,  will
          generate the construction of an additional  30,000 units of affordable
          housing each year.

          Although  REITs do not pay income taxes at the  corporate  level,  the
          Company  benefits from the credits by structuring  transactions  where
          the Operating  Partnership  serves as the managing general partner and
          limited partners contribute substantial equity in exchange for the tax
          credits.  Most of the economic  benefits of  management  and ownership
          remain with the Company, including:

          *    Substantial  developer  fee income

          *    Receipt of a majority of the project cash flow after debt service
               as "incentive  management  fees" 

          *    Reasonable  property  management  fees  

          *    Participation  in  future  equity  build-up  

          *    Control of the real estate as the managing general partner

          Tax Exempt Bond Financing.  The increased  competition for tax credits
          has led  developers  to the tax  exempt  bond  market  for  financing.
          Projects  can be  financed  with  tax  exempt  bonds  if  they  meet a
          threshold of having at least 20% of the units rented to  households at
          50% of the area median income,  or 40% of the units at 60% of the area
          median  income.  The bond  program  provides  a  reduced  level of tax
          credits, automatically, without the need to go through the competitive
          allocation   process  for  tax   credits.   While  this   program  has
          historically not been as competitive, the recent increasing popularity
          has resulted in most states running out of their  available tax exempt
          bond   allocations.   Legislation   has  also   been   introduced   to
          significantly increase the volume cap levels for tax-exempt bonds.

          During 1997, the Company sold Wedgewood Apartments, a 604-unit Section
          8 apartment community to an affiliated  partnership,  and acquired the
          neighboring   264-unit   adjacent  property  in  the  same  affiliated
          partnership. The properties are being substantially rehabilitated with
          the  support  of  tax  credits  and  low  interest  rate  exempt  bond
          financing.

          HUD Section 8 Program.  In 1998, it is expected that the Department of
          Housing  and Urban  Development  (HUD) will renew  expiring  Section 8
          contracts  on 1.8  million  units  that house 4.4  million  low income
          people. Within a decade,  virtually all of HUD's roughly three million
          Section 8 project and  tenant-based  contracts  will be  converted  to
          one-year  terms.  Announced  reductions in the amounts of these direct
          rental  subsidies  will have a  negative  financial  impact on many of
          these communities.  Some will qualify for restructuring or write-downs
          of mortgage debt.  Many of these  properties  will need to be recycled
          into  other  programs  or  repositioned  to  compete  as  market  rate
          communities.  The Company's  financial  strength and expertise in this
          area  could  lead to  attractive  investment  opportunities  as  these
          properties are sold or restructured. Currently, the Company holds only
          one Section 8 community in its owned portfolio, Conifer Village, where
          the rental  subsidy  contract on 198 units  extends  for several  more
          years.

          Property Management

          As of December 31, 1997, the Managed  Properties consist of: (i) 4,782
          apartment  units where Home  Properties is the general  partner of the
          entity that owns the property;  (ii) 2,486 apartment units managed for
          others;  (iii) commercial  properties which contain  approximately 1.7
          million  square feet of gross  leasable  area;  (iv) a master  planned
          community  known as Gananda;  (v) a 140-lot  Planned Unit  Development
          known as College Greene; (vi) a 202-lot Planned Unit Development known
          as  Riverton;  (vii) a nursing  home which is leased to a hospital for
          which the Company provides limited management services; and (viii) 153
          acres of vacant land in Old Brookside, the development of which, if it
          occurs, will be managed by HP Management. Management fees are based on
          a  percentage  of rental  revenues  or costs and,  in  certain  cases,
          revenues  from  sales.  The  Company  may  pursue  the  management  of
          additional  properties  not owned by the Company,  but will only do so
          when such  additional  properties can be effectively  and  efficiently
          managed in conjunction  with other properties owned or managed by Home
          Properties.

          The  commercial  properties  consist of: (i)  approximately  1,025,000
          square feet of office space; (ii) approximately 400,000 square feet of
          retail  space;  (iii)  approximately  75,000 square feet of industrial
          space; and (iv) approximately 164,000 square feet of warehouse space.

          Supplemental Property Information

          At December 31, 1997,  none of the  Properties  have an individual net
          book value equal to or greater than ten percent of the total assets of
          the  Company or would have  accounted  for ten  percent or more of the
          Company's aggregate gross revenues for 1997.

Item 3.   Legal Proceedings

Item 6.  Selected Financial Data (continued)

(1)  Property management income and expense represents the management activities
     of Home Leasing Corporation prior to the formation of HP Management.

(2)  Management  considers Funds from Operations to be an appropriate measure of
     the performance of an equity REIT.  Effective  January 1, 1996, the Company
     has adopted NAREIT's  revised White Paper  definition of calculating  funds
     from operations  (New FFO). All prior periods  presented have been restated
     to conform to New FFO.  "Funds from  Operations"  is  generally  defined by
     NAREIT as net income (loss) before gains (losses) from the sale of property
     plus real estate  depreciation,  including  adjustments for  unconsolidated
     partnerships  and joint ventures.  Funds from Operations does not represent
     cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not
     necessarily  indicative  of cash  available to fund cash needs.  Funds from
     Operations  should not be considered as an  alternative to net income as an
     indication  of the  Company's  performance  or to cash flow as a measure of
     liquidity.  Funds from Operations does not actually represent the cash made
     available to investors in the periods presented.

Funds from Operations is calculated as follows:

Item 7. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
          of Operations

          Overview

          The  following  discussion  is  based  primarily  on the  Consolidated
          Financial Statements of Home Properties of New York, Inc.. This should
          be  read  in  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  appearing
          elsewhere in this report.  Certain  capitalized terms, as used herein,
          are defined in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

          The  Company  is  engaged  primarily  in  the  ownership,  management,
          acquisition  and development of residential  apartment  communities in
          the  Northeastern,  Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern  United States.  As of
          December 31, 1997, the Company operated 158 apartment communities with
          21,316  apartments.  Of this total,  the Company owned 63 communities,
          consisting  of  14,048  apartments,  managed  as  general  partner  67
          partnerships  that  owned  4,782  apartments  and  fee  managed  2,486
          apartments  for  affiliates  and third  parties.  The Company also fee
          manages 1.7 million square feet of office and retail properties.

          This annual report contains forward-looking  statements.  Although the
          Company  believes  expectations   reflected  in  such  forward-looking
          statements  are  based  on  reasonable  assumptions,  it can  give  no
          assurance  that its  expectations  will be achieved.  Factors that may
          cause actual results to differ include general economic and local real
          estate conditions,  the weather and other conditions that might affect
          operating expenses, the

          timely completion of repositioning activities,
          the actual pace of  acquisitions,  and continued  access to capital to
          fund growth.

          During 1997, the Company  acquired a total of 7,496 apartment units in
          35 newly acquired communities (the "1997  Communities").  In addition,
          the Company  experienced  full year  results  for the 1,168  apartment
          units  in  six  newly  acquired   apartment   communities  (the  "1996
          Communities")  acquired  after January 1, 1996. The inclusion of these
          acquired  communities  generally accounted for the significant changes
          in operating results for the year ended December 31, 1997.

          The Company also disposed of two communities  with 624 apartment units
          and a 202-site  manufactured home community,  all of which had partial
          results in 1997 and full year results  during 1996 (the "1997 Disposed
          Communities").  Of the two apartment communities, a 604 unit community
          was  sold  September  23,  1997  and a 20 unit  community  was sold on
          December  15,  1997.  The  manufactured  home  community  was  sold on
          December 19, 1997. The loss on disposition of these properties totaled
          $1,283,000.

          For the year ended December 31, 1997,  operating income (income before
          loss on disposition of property,  minority  interest and extraordinary
          item) increased by $7,914,000 when compared to the year ended December
          31, 1996.  The increase was  primarily  attributable  to the following
          factors:  an increase in rental income of $21,788,000  and an increase
          in other income of $2,239,000.  These changes were partially offset by
          an increase in operating and  maintenance  expense of  $9,458,000,  an
          increase  in  general  and  administrative  expense  of  $773,000,  an
          increase  in  interest  expense  of  $2,759,000  and  an  increase  in
          depreciation and amortization of $3,123,000.

          Of  the   $21,788,000   increase  in  rental  income,   $5,430,000  is
          attributable  to the 1996  Communities and $15,528,000 is attributable
          to the  1997  Communities,  offset  in  part by a  $729,000  reduction
          attributable to the 1997 Disposed  Communities.  The balance is a 4.4%
          increase from the Core Properties due primarily to an increase of 3.1%
          in weighted  average rental rates,  plus an increase in occupancy from
          94.1% to 95.3%.

          Property  other  income,  which  consists  primarily  of  income  from
          operation  of  laundry  facilities,  administrative  fees,  garage and
          carport rentals and miscellaneous  charges to residents,  increased in
          1997 by $1,197,000. Of this increase,  $121,000 is attributable to the
          1996 Communities, $560,000 is attributable to the 1997 Communities and
          $100,000  represents  an 8.8% increase  from the Core  Properties.  In
          addition,  $416,000  represents  the  increase  in the net results for
          limited partnerships accounted for on the equity method.

          Other income increased in 1997 by $1,042,000. The change was primarily
          attributable  to an  increase  in  interest  income of  $1,553,000  on
          construction   loans  and  advances  made  to  affiliated  tax  credit
          development  partnerships.  Partially offsetting this are decreases in
          the  following:  development  fee income  recognized  directly  by the
          Company of  $349,000  from  communities  developed  under the  federal
          government's  Low Income  Housing Tax Credit Program where the Company
          is a general  partner,  $112,000 from decreased  management  fees from
          residential  properties  and  $50,000  from  the  decrease  of the net
          results from the Management Companies.

          Of the  $9,458,000  increase in operating  and  maintenance  expenses,
          $2,706,000  is  attributable  to the 1996  Communities,  $6,917,000 is
          attributable  to the 1997  Communities  and a reduction of $301,000 is
          attributable  to the 1997  Disposed  Communities.  The balance for the
          Core  Properties,  or $136,000,  represents a 0.7% increase over 1996.
          The  major  areas of  increase  in the  Core  Properties  occurred  in
          personnel  and real  estate  taxes.  Helping  to offset  this  expense
          increase were reductions to insurance and advertising expenses.

          The operating  expense  ratio (the ratio of operating and  maintenance
          expense  compared to rental and  property  other  income) for the Core
          Properties was 48.7% and 50.5% for 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  This
          1.8% reduction reflects cost reductions through operating efficiencies
          and  economies  of  scale  inherent  in  the  management  of a  larger
          portfolio of communities.  In general, the Company's operating expense
          ratio is higher  than that  experienced  in other parts of the country
          due to  relatively  high real  estate  taxes in New York State and the
          Company's  practice,  typical in its  markets,  of  including  heating
          expenses in base rent.

          General and administrative  expenses increased in 1997 by $773,000, or
          52% from  $1,482,000  in 1996 to  $2,255,000  in 1997.  As the Company
          expands  geographically,  travel and lodging  expenses have increased,
          along  with  expenses  associated  with  new  and  expanding  regional
          offices.  In addition,  personnel  costs have  increased to handle the
          growing owned portfolio, which increased in size by 96% as of December
          31, 1997 compared to a year ago. General and  administrative  expenses
          as a percentage of total revenues remained constant at a level of 3.2%
          for both 1997 and 1996.

          Interest  expense  increased in 1997 by  $2,759,000 as a result of the
          acquisition of the 1997 Communities and full year interest expense for
          the 1996  Communities.  The 1996  Communities,  costing  in  excess of
          $41,000,000, were acquired substantially with assumed or new debt. The
          1997  Communities,  costing in excess of  $266,000,000,  were

Page 24

<PAGE>

          acquired
          with  $87,000,000  of assumed  debt,  in addition to the use of UPREIT
          Units.  Amortization relating to interest rate reduction agreements of
          $335,000 was  included in interest  expense  during 1997 and 1996.  In
          addition, amortization from deferred charges relating to the financing
          of properties  totaling $276,000 and $277,000 was included in interest
          expense for 1997 and 1996, respectively.

          Comparison of year ended December 31, 1996 to year ended  December 31,
          1995.

          The Company owned 18 properties  consisting of 4,463  apartment  units
          acquired prior to January 1, 1995 where comparable  operating  results
          are available for the years presented (the "Core Properties"). For the
          year ending December 31, 1996, the Core Properties  showed an increase
          in rental revenues of 4.2% and a net operating income increase of 3.3%
          over  the 1995  year-end  period.  Property  level  operating  expense
          increases were 5.3%, primarily  attributable to significant  increased
          utility costs  associated  with severe winter weather during the first
          two  quarters  of  1996.  Average  economic  occupancy  for  the  Core
          Properties  increased to 94.3% from 93.5%, with average monthly rental
          rates increasing 3.3% to $583.

          During 1996,  the Company  acquired a total of 1,652  apartment  units
          (including  484  apartment  units  acquired on January 1, 1996) in ten
          newly acquired communities (the "1996 Communities").  In addition, the
          Company experienced full year results for the 1,061 apartment units in
          three newly acquired  apartment  communities (the "1995  Communities")
          acquired  during 1995.  The  inclusion of these  acquired  communities
          generally  accounted for the significant  changes in operating results
          for the year ended December 31, 1996.

          For the year ended December 31, 1996,  operating  income  increased by
          $544,000  when  compared  to the year ended  December  31,  1995.  The
          increase was  primarily  attributable  to the  following  factors:  an
          increase  in rental  income of  $10,509,000  and an  increase in other
          income of $860,000. These changes were partially offset by an increase
          in operating and  maintenance  expense of  $5,948,000,  an increase in
          general  and  administrative  expense  of  $282,000,  an  increase  in
          interest  expense of $2,776,000  and an increase in  depreciation  and
          amortization of $1,819,000.

          Of  the   $10,509,000   increase  in  rental  income,   $4,106,000  is
          attributable to the 1995 Communities and $5,176,000 is attributable to
          the 1996  Communities.  The balance is a 4.2%  increase  from the Core
          Properties  due  primarily to an increase of 3.3% in weighted  average
          rental rates, plus an increase in occupancy from 93.5% to 94.3%.

          Other income increased in 1996 by $897,000. Of this increase, $322,000
          is from  development  fee  income  from  eight  apartment  communities
          developed under the federal government's Low Income Housing Tax Credit
          Program  where the Company is a general  partner.  In addition,  other
          significant   components  include  $179,000  from  increased  interest
          income,  $168,000  from  increased  management  fees from  residential
          properties  and $107,000 from the increase of the net results from the
          Management Companies.

          Of the  $5,948,000  increase in operating  and  maintenance  expenses,
          $2,370,000 is attributable  to the 1995  Communities and $2,821,000 is
          attributable  to the  1996  Communities.  The  balance  for  the  Core
          Properties,  or $757,000,  represents a 5.3% increase  over 1995.  The
          major area of increase in the Core  Properties  occurred in utilities,
          personnel and snow removal costs due to the severe winter  weather and
          a cooler  

Page 25

<PAGE>

          spring  experienced  in 1996  compared to an unusually  mild
          1995.  The operating  expense ratio for the Core  Properties was 48.6%
          and 48.2% for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          General and administrative  expenses increased in 1996 by $282,000, or
          24% from $1,200,000 in 1995 to $1,482,000 in 1996. These increases are
          primarily due to increased corporate personnel.  However,  general and
          administrative  expenses as a percentage of total  revenues  decreased
          from  3.5%  in  1995  to  3.2%  in  1996  as  a  result  of  increased
          efficiencies from the economies of scale.

          Interest  expense  increased in 1996 by  $2,776,000 as a result of the
          acquisition of the 1996 Communities and full year interest expense for
          the 1995  Communities.  The 1995  Communities,  costing  in  excess of
          $25,000,000, were acquired substantially with assumed or new debt. The
          1996 Communities, costing in excess of $54,000,000, were acquired with
          $44,000,000  of assumed  new debt,  in  addition  to the use of UPREIT
          Units.  Amortization relating to interest rate reduction agreements of
          $335,000 was  included in interest  expense  during 1996 and 1995.  In
          addition, amortization from deferred charges relating to the financing
          of properties  totaling $255,000 and $321,000 was included in interest
          expense for 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The  Company's   principal   liquidity  demands  are  expected  to  be
          distributions  to stockholders,  capital  improvements and repairs and
          maintenance for the properties,  acquisition of additional properties,
          property development and debt repayments.  The Company may also engage
          in transactions  whereby it acquires equity  ownership in other public
          or private  companies  that own  portfolios of apartment  communities.
          Those  transactions  may be part of a strategy  to acquire  all of the
          equity ownership in those other companies.

          The  Company  intends to meet its  short-term  liquidity  requirements
          through net cash flows  provided by operating  activities and the line
          of credit.  The Company  considers  its  ability to  generate  cash to
          continue to be adequate to meet all  operating  requirements  and make
          distributions to its stockholders in accordance with the provisions of
          the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to REITs.

          To the  extent  that  the  Company  does  not  satisfy  its  long-term
          liquidity  requirements  through net cash flows  provided by operating
          activities  and the line of credit  described  below,  it  intends  to
          satisfy  such  requirements  through  the  issuance  of UPREIT  Units,
          proceeds from the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, property debt financing,
          or  issuing  additional  common  shares  or  shares  of the  Company's
          preferred  stock.  As of December 31, 1997,  the Company  owned twenty
          properties,  with 3,806 apartment  units,  which were  unencumbered by
          debt.

          As of February 28, 1997, the Company's Form S-3 Registration Statement
          was declared  effective relating to the issuance of up to $100 million
          of  shares  of  common  stock  or  other   securities.   During  1997,
          $41,000,000 of common shares were issued under this shelf registration
          including $15,000,000 sold directly to two institutional investors and
          $26,000,000   placed  with  an  investment   banking  firm  which  was
          immediately resold to the public.

<PAGE>

          The issuance of UPREIT Units for property acquisitions continues to be
          a significant source of capital. During 1997, 5,636 apartment units in
          four  separate   transactions  were  acquired  for  a  total  cost  of
          $195,000,000, using UPREIT Units valued in excess of $106,000,000 with
          the balance paid in cash or assumed debt.

          In May,  1997,  the  Company's  Board of  Directors  approved  a stock
          repurchase  program  under which the Company may  repurchase up to one
          million shares of its outstanding common stock. The Board's action did
          not establish a target price or a specific  timetable for  repurchase.
          In June,  1997,  the Company  repurchased  20,000  shares at a cost of
          $426,000,  reflecting a stock price which Company  management felt was
          an attractive investment opportunity.

          In November,  1995,  the Company  established a Dividend  Reinvestment
          Plan. The Plan provides the stockholders of the Company an opportunity
          to automatically  invest their cash dividends at a discount of 3% from
          the market price. In addition,  eligible participants may make monthly
          payments  or other  voluntary  cash  investments  in  shares of common
          stock, typically purchased at discounts of up to 3%. During 1997, over
          $36,400,000 was raised through this program, including over $4,500,000
          from  officers and directors  financed  partially by a Company loan of
          $2,262,000.

          The Company has an unsecured  line of credit of $50  million,  with an
          available  balance at  December  31, 1997 of  $41,250,000.  Borrowings
          under the line bear interest at 1.25% over the one-month LIBOR rate or
          at a money  market  rate as  quoted  on a daily  basis by the  lending
          institutions.  The line of credit expires on September 4, 1999, with a
          one year extension at the Company's  option.  As of February 20, 1998,
          the  amount   available  on  the  line  of  credit  has  increased  to
          $46,750,000.

          As of December 31, 1997,  debt  represented 33% of the Company's total
          market  capitalization  compared to 34% one year ago. This measurement
          at year end is misleading  due to the large amount of equity raised on
          December   30,  1996   relative   to  the   Company's   total   market
          capitalization.  The results show a reduction  from 46% during 1996 to
          36%  in  1997  when  comparing  the  weighted  average  debt-to-market
          capitalization  for each year. This deleveraging had a dilutive effect
          on Funds from Operations of approximately 8 cents per share.

          As of December 31, 1997, the weighted  average rate of interest on the
          Company's  mortgage debt is 7.7% and the weighted  average maturity of
          such indebtedness is 7.6 years. Floating rate debt has been reduced at
          year end to only 4% of  outstanding  debt at December 31,  1997.  This
          limits the  exposure  to changes in  interest  rates,  minimizing  the
          effect of interest  rate  fluctuations  on results of  operations  and
          financial condition.  Floating rate debt represented 2% of outstanding
          debt on February 20, 1998.

          The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased from
          $14,241,000  for the year ended December 31, 1996 to  $27,285,000  for
          the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was  principally due to
          the  acquisition  of the  1996  and 1997  Communities,  offset  by the
          prepayment   penalties   incurred   in  1997   accounted   for  as  an
          extraordinary item.

          Net cash used in investing  activities  increased from  $25,641,000 in
          1996 to  $102,460,000  in  1997,  resulting  from a  higher  level  of
          acquisitions  in 1997 (6,872  apartment  units,  net of sales) than in
          1996 (1,652 apartment units).

          The Company's net cash provided by financing activities increased from
          $12,111,000  in 1996 to  $77,461,000  in 1997.  The  major  source  of
          financing in 1996 was  $59,795,000 of proceeds from sales of shares of
          common stock and  partnership  interests which were used to repay debt
          by $21,792,000 and fund property acquisitions and additions.  In 1997,
          proceeds from the sale of common stock and net debt proceeds totalling
          $101,162,000 were used to fund property acquisitions and additions.

          Capital Improvements

          Total capital  improvement  expenditures  increased from $8,843,000 in
          1996  to  $15,962,000  in  1997.  Of  the  $15,962,000   expenditures,
          $4,820,000  is  attributable  to the 1997  Communities,  $4,370,000 is
          attributable  to the 1996  Communities and $540,000 is attributable to
          the 1997 Disposed Communities.  The balance of $6,232,000 is allocated
          between the Core  Properties of $6,048,000  and $184,000 for corporate
          office expenditures.

          Recurring,   non-revenue  enhancing  capital  replacements   typically
          include  carpeting and tile,  appliances,  HVAC equipment,  new roofs,
          site improvements and various exterior building improvements.  Funding
          for  these  capital  replacements  are  provided  by cash  flows  from
          operating   activities.   The  Company  estimates  that  during  1997,
          approximately  $350 per unit was  spent  on  capital  replacements  to
          maintain the condition of its properties.

          In 1997,  $4,263,000 in capital  expenditures  for the Core Properties
          was  incurred  to  fund  non-recurring,  revenue  enhancing  upgrades,
          including the following:  construction of three new community centers;
          the  installation  of  new  windows  and  other  energy   conservation
          measures;  and the  modernization  of  approximately  460 kitchens and
          bathrooms.   Management  believes  that  these  upgrades   contributed
          significantly  towards  achieving 8.4% average growth in net operating
          income at the Core Properties in 1997. In addition, over $8,000,000 in
          substantial  rehabilitations was incurred on 1997 and 1996 acquisition
          properties  as  part of  management's  acquisition  and  repositioning
          strategies.  The  pace of  capital  replacements  was  accelerated  to
          improve the overall competitive  condition of the properties.  Funding
          for these capital  improvements was provided by the line of credit and
          equity proceeds.

          During  1998,  management  expects that the  communities  will benefit
          further from  improvements  completed in 1997 and plans to continue to
          fund similar non-recurring,  revenue enhancing upgrades in addition to
          normal capital replacements, estimated to increase to $375 per unit in
          1998.

          Impact of the Year-2000 on System Processing

          The  study  of  the  Year-2000  issue,  undertaken  by  the  Company's
          information   systems   department,   is  nearly  complete  with  some
          additional  testing and  conversion to upgraded  software and hardware
          required.  The  Company  has  addressed  this issue  with key  vendors
          supplying two material software applications who have confirmed either
          current  compliance or indicated future compliance in a timely manner.
          Management's  assessment  of the  Year-2000  issue is that it will not
          have  a  material  impact  on  the  Company's   business   operations,
          liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

 Environmental Issues

          Phase I environmental  audits have been completed on substantially all
          of the  Company's  wholly  owned  properties.  There  are no  recorded
          amounts resulting from environmental liabilities as there are no known
          contingencies with respect thereto. Furthermore, no condition is known
          to exist that would give rise to a liability for site  restoration  or
          other costs that may be incurred  with respect to the sale or disposal
          of a property.

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          During June,  1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statements  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130,  "Reporting
          Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS 130),  which  requires that an enterprise
          report  the change in its net assets  from  nonowner  sources by major
          components and as a single total. The Board also issued  Statements of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
          an Enterprise and Related  Information"  (SFAS 131), which establishes
          annual and interim reporting  standards for an enterprise's  operating
          segments  and  related  disclosures  about  its  products,   services,
          geographic  areas and major  customers.  Adoption of these  statements
          will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results
          of  operations  or cash  flows,  and any effect will be limited to the
          form and content of its disclosures. Both statements are effective for
          fiscal  years   beginning   after  December  15,  1997,  with  earlier
          application permitted.

          Inflation

          Substantially  all of the leases at the  communities are for a term of
          one year or less,  which enables the Company to seek  increased  rents
          upon renewal of existing leases or  commencement of new leases.  These
          short-term  leases minimize the potential  adverse effect of inflation
          on rental income,  although residents may leave without penalty at the
          end of  their  lease  terms  and  may  do so if  rents  are  increased
          significantly.

Employment Agreements

Norman and Nelson Leenhouts entered into employment  agreements with the Company
prior to its initial public offering providing for an initial term of five years
commencing  August  4,  1994.  The  agreements  provide  for the  employment  of
Norman P.  Leenhouts as Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief  Executive Officer of
the  Company at an annual base salary of $120,000  and  Nelson B.  Leenhouts  as
President and Co-Chief  Executive Officer of the Company and President and Chief
Executive  Officer of HP  Management  at an annual base salary of $120,000.  The
base salaries under each employment agreement automatically increase by 10% each
year  starting  January 1, 1995. In addition,  the  employment  agreements  also
provide that if employment  is terminated by the Company or not renewed  without
cause,  or terminated  by the  executive  for good reason at any time,  then the
executive is entitled to receive a severance  payment  equal to the  executive's
annual base salary and incentive  compensation for the preceding year multiplied
by two or the  number of years  remaining  of the  initial  term,  whichever  is
greater.  The employment  agreements  for Norman and Nelson  Leenhouts have been
amended to provide that they will receive incentive compensation pursuant to the
Company's  Incentive  Compensation Plan as it may be revised by the Compensation
Committee  from  time  to  time,  rather  than  as  originally  provided  in the
employment  agreements.  For 1997,  the formula  contained  in their  Employment
Agreements would have resulted in higher bonuses.

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements with the Company,  Norman and
Nelson  Leenhouts are each subject to a covenant not to compete with the Company
during the term of his  employment  and, if either is  terminated by the Company
for  cause or  resigns  without  good  reason,  for two  years  thereafter.  The
covenants  prohibit  Norman  and  Nelson  Leenhouts  from

Page 35


<PAGE>

participating  in the
management,  operation or control of any multifamily  residential business which
is competitive with the business of the Company,  except that they, individually
and through Home Leasing and its affiliates, may continue to own and develop the
properties  managed by HP Management.  The Leenhoutses have also agreed that any
commercial  property  which  may be  developed  by them  will be  managed  by HP
Management  subject  to the  approval  of the  outside  members  of the Board of
Directors.

Richard J. Crossed also entered into an Employment  Agreement  with the Company,
effective  January 1, 1996.  The terms of that agreement are  substantially  the
same as the employment agreements entered into by Norman and Nelson Leenhouts as
described  above.  The initial term is for five years and identical  termination
provisions are provided. In his employment agreement, Mr. Crossed has agreed not
to compete  with the  Company  during the term of his  employment  and, if he is
terminated  by the Company for cause or resigns  without good reason,  for three
years thereafter.

Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company's  incentive  compensation  plan (the "Incentive Plan") for officers
and key  employees of the Company was amended for 1997 to provide that  eligible
officer and key  employees may earn a cash bonus ranging from 0% to 100% of base
salary based on increases in the  Company's  Funds from  Operations  ("FFO") per
Share.  The 1997  Incentive  Plan provides for a bonus pool to be established as
follows:

           Growth Over 5%                                     50%

</TABLE>

A factor is applied to each eligible  participant's  salary,  ranging from 1% to
10%,  to  determine  the split of the bonus  pool.  The  factor  applied  to the
salaries of Norman and Nelson  Leenhouts,  Richard  Crossed and Amy Tait is 10%,
with the  maximum  bonus  payable to them being 100% of their base  salary.  The
factor  applied to the salaries of David  Gardner and Ann  McCormick is 5%, with
the maximum bonus payable to them being 50% of their base salary.

Director, Officer and Employee Stock Purchase and Loan Program

In August 1996, the Board of Directors approved a Director, Officer and Employee
Stock Purchase and Loan Program (the "Stock Purchase Program").  Pursuant to the
Stock Purchase Program, each officer and director of the Company was eligible to
receive  loans for the  purchase of Common  Stock under the  Company's  Dividend
Reinvestment,  Stock  Purchase,  Resident  Stock  Purchase  and  Employee  Stock
Purchase  Plan ("DRIP") and receive  options to purchase  Common Stock under the
Company's  Stock  Benefit  Plan.  The 1996 phase of the Stock  Purchase  Program
provided for loans up to a formula  amount for each officer  based on salary and
bonus  category  and up to $60,000 for each  independent  director.  The Company
loaned  approximately  50% of the  purchase  price  and  arranged  loans  from a
commercial bank,  guaranteed by the Company,  for the balance. The 1996 phase of
the Stock  Purchase  Program also  provided for the issuance of stock options to
purchase  .25  shares of Common  Stock at the 

Page 36
<PAGE>

fair  market  value on the date of
issuance ($20.50) for each share of Common Stock purchased.  With respect to the
1996 phase of the Stock Purchase Program,  eighteen  officers  purchased 190,345
shares of Common Stock and received  47,592 options to purchase  Common Stock at
an  exercise  price of $20.50  vesting  over  five  years.  The six  independent
directors  purchased an aggregate of 18,198  shares of Common Stock and received
options to purchase  4,554 shares of Common  Stock for $20.50 per share  vesting
over five years.  The Company  loaned the directors and officers an aggregate of
$2,063,469  maturing on August 31, 2016 with simple  interest at 7%. The Company
also  guaranteed  bank loans  totaling  $2,033,180  repayable from the quarterly
dividends  on the stock and the  proceeds of any sale of the stock and agreed to
pay the commercial lender an interest rate differential  equal to .94% per annum
of the  outstanding  loans in order to bring the interest rate on the commercial
portion of the loan to 7%. The Company  guarantee has subsequently been returned
by the commercial lender and is no longer in effect.

In October, 1997, the Board of Directors approved an additional loan pursuant to
the Stock Purchase  Program.  The 1997 loans were made on substantially the same
basis as the  1996  loans  with the  Company  loaning  approximately  50% of the
purchase price and arranging loans from a commercial  bank for the balance.  The
primary  difference  was that:  (i) no Company  guarantee  was  provided  to the
commercial lender; (ii) no options were issued in connection with the 1997 phase
of the Stock Purchase Program;  and (iii) interest on the Company loans is to be
paid  currently from one-half of the dividends on the stock rather than accruing
as was the case with the 1996 phase of the Stock Purchase  Program.  The Company
agreed to pay the  commercial  lender an interest rate  differential  payment on
each loan equal to .84% per annum of the  outstanding  balance in order to bring
the  interest  rate on the  commercial  portion  of the loan  down to 6.7%,  the
dividend  yield on the  Company's  common  stock  on the date  that the loan was
closed. The interest rate on the Company portion of the loan was also 6.7%. With
respect to the 1997 portion of the Stock Purchase Program, 21 officers purchased
157,302  shares of Common  Stock and 5 of the  Independent  Directors  purchased
12,380 shares in the aggregate.  The Company loaned the directors,  officers and
employees an aggregate of $2,262,283  maturing on the earlier of the maturity of
the 1996 phase of the Stock Purchase Program or November 30, 2017.

The Company is seeking  shareholder  approval  for the issuance of up to 500,000
shares of Common Stock on terms similar to the Stock Purchase  Program.  If such
approval is received, the Company in the future will be able to loan one hundred
percent of the amount necessary to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock
to  eligible  officers  and  employees  and 50% of the  amount  to  non-employee
directors under the current Federal Reserve Board margin rules.

Compensation of Directors

In 1997,  the Company paid its  directors  who are not  employees of the Company
annual  compensation of $10,000 plus $1,000 per day for attendance (in person or
by telephone) at Board and committee meetings.  Directors of the Company who are
employees of the Company do not receive any  compensation  for their services as
directors. All directors are reimbursed for their expenses incurred in attending
directors'  meetings.  Pursuant  to  the  Company's  Stock  Benefit  Plan,  each
non-employee  director  was granted  options to purchase  3,500 shares of Common
Stock immediately  following the annual meeting of stockholders in 1997 and will
be granted  options to purchase  3,500 shares  immediately  following the annual
meeting of  stockholders  in 1998 and 1999.  The options have an exercise  price
equal to the fair  market  value of the  Company's  Common  Stock on the date of
grant.  Subject to stockholder approval 

Page 37


<PAGE>


of a proposal regarding the annual stock
grants to Directors (the "Directors'  Stock Grant Plan"), in lieu of an increase
in the cash compensation paid to Independent  Directors,  the Board has approved
the grant to each  Independent  Director of an  additional  150 shares of Common
Stock.  The Board shall determine the number of additional  shares to be awarded
to Independent Directors as of the first of the following calendar years.
 
Compensation  Committee  Interlocks and Insider  Participation  in  Compensation
Decisions

During the fiscal year 1997, the Compensation  Committee was comprised of Burton
S. August, Sr., William  Balderston,  III, Alan L. Gosule and Clifford W. Smith,
Jr.  None  of them  have  ever  been an  officer  of the  Company  or any of its
subsidiaries.  Each of the Compensation Committee members as well as each of the

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Home Properties of New York, Inc.

We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  and the
financial statement schedule of Home Properties of New York, Inc. listed in item
14(a) of this Form 10-K. These financial  statements and the financial statement
schedule  are the  responsibility  of the Home  Properties  of New York,  Inc.'s
management.  Our  responsibility  is to express  an  opinion on these  financial
statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Home Properties of
New York, Inc. as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated results of
operations  and cash  flows  for each of the  three  years in the  period  ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting  principles.
In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above,
when considered in relation to the basic financial  statements taken as a whole,
presents  fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  information  required to be
included therein.

1    ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          Organization

          Home  Properties  of New York,  Inc.  (the " Company " ) was formed in
          November 1993, as a Maryland  corporation and is engaged  primarily in
          the ownership, management,  acquisition and development of residential
          apartment communities in the Northeastern, Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern
          United  States.  As of December  31,  1997,  the Company  operated 158
          apartment  communities  with 21,316  apartments.  Of this  total,  the
          Company owned 63 communities, consisting of 14,048 apartments, managed
          as general partner 67 partnerships that owned 4,782 apartments and fee
          managed 2,486 apartments for affiliates and third parties. The Company
          also  fee  manages  1.7  million  square  feet of  office  and  retail
          properties.

          Basis of Presentation

          The  accompanying   consolidated   financial  statements  include  the
          accounts  of the Company and its 56.1%  (68.2% at December  31,  1996)
          general  partnership  interest  in  the  Operating  Partnership.   The
          remaining  43.9% (31.8% at December 31, 1996) is reflected as Minority
          Interest in these consolidated  financial  statements.  Investments in
          which the Company  does not have  control are  presented on the equity
          method.  All significant  intercompany  balances and transactions have
          been eliminated in these consolidated financial statements.

2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          Real Estate

          Real estate is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable  value.
          Costs  related  to  the  acquisition,  development,  construction  and
          improvement  of  properties  are   capitalized.   Interest  costs  are
          capitalized until construction is substantially complete. When retired
          or  otherwise   disposed   of,  the  related   cost  and   accumulated
          depreciation  are cleared  from the  respective  accounts  and the net
          difference, less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in
          income.  There  was $63 of  interest  capitalized  in  1996.  Ordinary
          repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

          The Company  quarterly  reviews its properties in accordance  with the
          Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121  "Accounting for
          the  Impairment  of Long Lived  Assets" to  determine  if its carrying
          costs will be recovered  from future  operating  cash flows.  In cases
          where the Company does not expect to recover its carrying  costs,  the
          Company  recognizes  an  impairment  loss.  No such  losses  have been
          recognized to date.

          Depreciation

          Properties  are  depreciated  using a  straight-line  method  over the
          estimated   useful   lives  of  the  assets  as  follows:   buildings,
          improvements  and equipment - 5-40 years;  and tenant  improvements  -
          life of related lease.  Depreciation expense charged to operations was
          $11,104, $7,979 and $6,499 for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996
          and 1995, respectively.

2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

          Cash and Cash Equivalents

          For purposes of the  consolidated  statements of cash flows,  cash and
          cash  equivalents  include  all cash  and  highly  liquid  investments
          purchased  with  original  maturities  of three  months  or less.  The
          Company estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents approximates
          the  carrying  value due to the  relatively  short  maturity  of these
          instruments.

          Cash in Escrows

          Cash in escrows consists of cash restricted under the terms of various
          loan  agreements  to be used for the  payment  of  property  taxes and
          insurance as well as required replacement reserves and tenant security
          deposits for residential properties.

          Deferred Charges
 
          Costs  relating to the  financing  of  properties  and  interest  rate
          reduction  agreements  are deferred and amortized over the life of the
          related agreement.  The straight-line  method,  which approximates the
          effective  interest  method,  is used to amortize all financing costs.
          The  range  of the  terms  of the  agreements  are  from  1-32  years.
          Accumulated amortization was $1,791 and $1,349 as of December 31, 1997
          and 1996, respectively.

          Goodwill

          Goodwill,  included  in other  assets,  represents  the  excess of the
          purchase price of acquired  companies over the estimated fair value of
          the tangible and  intangible  net assets  acquired.  Goodwill is being
          amortized  on a  straight-line  basis  over forty  years.  Accumulated
          amortization  was  $181  and $85 as of  December 31,  1997  and  1996,
          respectively.

          Use of Estimates

          The  preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
          accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
          and  assumptions  that  affect  the  reported  amount  of  assets  and
          liabilities  and  disclosures of contingent  assets and liabilities at
          the date of the  financial  statements  and the  reported  amounts  of
          revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual  results
          could differ from those estimates.

          Advertising

          Advertising  expenses  are  charged to  operations  during the year in
          which they were incurred. Advertising expenses incurred and charged to
          operations were  approximately  $1,291,  $1,256 and $870 for the years
          ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

2    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

          Revenue Recognition

          The Operating  Partnership  leases its  residential  properties  under
          leases  with  terms  generally  one year or  less.  Rental  income  is
          recognized  when  earned.   Property  other  income,   which  consists
          primarily   of  income   from   operation   of   laundry   facilities,
          administrative  fees,  garage and carport  rentals  and  miscellaneous
          charges to residents, is recognized when earned.

          The Operating  Partnership  receives  development and other fee income
          from  properties  in  the  development   phase.  This  fee  income  is
          recognized on the percentage of completion method.

          Income Taxes

          The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate  investment trust
          ( " REIT " ) under the  Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,
          commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a result,
          the Company  generally  will not be subject to Federal or State income
          taxation at the corporate level to the extent it distributes  annually
          at least  95% of its  REIT  taxable  income  to its  shareholders  and
          satisfies certain other  requirements.  Accordingly,  no provision has
          been made for federal  income taxes in the  accompanying  consolidated
          financial  statements for the years ended December 31, 1997,  1996 and
          1995.  Stockholders  are  taxed  on  dividends  and must  report  such
          dividends as either  ordinary  income,  capital gains, or as return of
          capital.

          Earnings Per Common Share

          The Company has adopted  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards
          (SFAS)  No.  128,  "Earnings  per  Share",  which  was  issued  by the
          Financial Accounting  Standards Board in February,  1997. SFAS No. 128
          requires  dual  presentation  of basic  earnings  per share  (EPS) and
          diluted  EPS on the face of all  statements  of  earnings  for periods
          ending after  December 15,  1997.  Basic EPS is computed as net income
          divided by the weighted  average  number of common shares  outstanding
          for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could
          occur from common shares  issuable  through  stock-based  compensation
          including stock options. The exchange of an Operating Partnership Unit
          for common stock will have no effect on diluted EPS as unitholders and
          stockholders  effectively  share  equally  in the  net  income  of the
          Operating  Partnership.  Reported  EPS  in  prior  periods  have  been
          restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

          Unexercised  stock options to purchase  116,500,  52,146,  and 447,532
          shares  of  the  Company's  common  stock  were  not  included  in the
          computations of diluted EPS because the options'  exercise prices were
          greater than the average  market price of the  Company's  stock during
          the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          Account Reclassifications

          Certain  account  balances at December  31, 1996 and December 31, 1995
          were  reclassified to conform to account  classifications  used by the
          Company at December 31, 1997.  These changes had no effect on reported
          results of operations or financial position.

          Recent Accounting Pronouncements

          During June,  1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued
          Statements  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 130,  "Reporting
          Comprehensive  Income" (SFAS 130),  which  requires that an enterprise
          report  the change in its net assets  from  nonowner  sources by major
          components and as a single total. The Board also issued  Statements of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
          an Enterprise and Related  Information"  (SFAS 131), which establishes
          annual and interim reporting  standards for an enterprise's  operating
          segments  and  related  disclosures  about  its  products,   services,
          geographic  areas, and major  customers.  Adoption of these statements
          will not impact the Company's consolidated financial position, results
          of  operations  or cash  flows,  and any effect will be limited to the
          form and content of its disclosures. Both statements are effective for
          fiscal  years   beginning   after  December  15,  1997,  with  earlier
          application permitted.

4    MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

          The Company  determines  the fair value of the mortgage  notes payable
          based on the  discounted  future  cash flows at a  discount  rate that
          approximates  the  Company's  current  effective  borrowing  rate  for
          comparable loans.  Based on this analysis,  the Company has determined
          that  the  fair  value  of the  mortgage  notes  payable  approximates
          $217,594 at December 31, 1997.

          The Company has incurred  prepayment  penalties on debt restructurings
          which are  accounted  for as  extraordinary  items in the statement of
          operations.  Prepayment penalties were approximately $1,774 and $1,390
          for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1995, respectively. The 1997
          paydowns  totaled $34,626 from one debt instrument  which was financed
          by one new  borrowing of $50,000.  The 1995 paydowns  totaled  $39,080
          from six debt instruments, which were financed by three new borrowings
          in excess of $40,000.

5    LINE OF CREDIT

          As of December 31, 1997,  the Company had an unsecured  line of credit
          of $50,000  with an available  balance of $41,250.  The line of credit
          expires  on  September  4,  1999,  with a one  year  extension  at the
          Company's option. Borrowings bear interest at 1.25% over the one-month
          LIBOR rate or at a money market rate as quoted on a daily basis by the
          lending institutions. The weighted average daily money market interest
          rate (the rate used by the Company)  for the month of  December,  1997
          was 6.86%.

          Dividend Reinvestment Plan

          In November,  1995,  the Company  adopted the  Dividend  Reinvestment,
          Stock  Purchase,  Resident  Stock Purchase and Employee Stock Purchase
          Plan  (the " Plan " ).  The  Plan  provides  the  stockholders  of the
          Company an opportunity to automatically invest their cash dividends at
          a  discount  of 3%  from  the  market  price.  In  addition,  eligible
          participants  may make monthly or other  voluntary  cash  investments,
          also typically at a discount of 3% from the market price, in shares of
          common stock.  A total of $34 million and $12 million,  net of officer
          and director  notes,  was raised  through this program during 1997 and
          1996, respectively.

          Officer and Director Notes for Stock Purchases

          On  August  12,  1996,  eighteen  officers  and  the  six  independent
          directors  purchased an  aggregate  of 208,543  shares of common stock
          through the Plan at the price of $19.79.  The purchases  were financed
          50% from a bank loan and 50% by a recourse loan from the Company.  The
          Company  loans  bear  interest  at 7% per annum and  mature in August,
          2016. The Company loans are subordinate to the  above-referenced  bank
          loans, and are collateralized by pledges of the 208,543 common shares.
          The  loans  are  expected  to be  repaid  from the  regular  quarterly
          dividends  paid on the  shares  of  common  stock  pledged,  after the
          corresponding bank loans are paid in full.

          On November 10, 1997,  twenty-one officers and five of the independent
          directors  purchased an  aggregate  of 169,682  shares of common stock
          through the Plan at the price of $26.66.  The purchases  were financed
          50% from a bank loan and 50% by a recourse loan from the Company.  The
          Company  loans bear interest at 6.7% per annum and mature in November,
          2017. The Company loans are subordinate to the  above-referenced  bank
          loans, and are collateralized by pledges of the 169,682 common shares.
          The  loans  are  expected  to be  repaid  from the  regular  quarterly
          dividends  paid on the  shares  of  common  stock  pledged,  after the
          corresponding bank loans are paid in full.
 
          Dividends

          Stockholders  are taxed on dividends and must report such dividends as
          either ordinary  income,  capital gains, or as return of capital.  The
          appropriate amount of each per common share is as follows:

          Operating Partnership Units/Interests

          Units in the Operating  Partnership  ("UPREIT Units") are exchangeable
          on a one-for-one  basis into common shares.  On December 30, 1996, $35
          million was raised in a private  placement through the sale of a Class
          A Limited Partnership  Interest to a state pension fund. The interest,
          which can be converted  into  1,666,667  shares of common stock,  will
          receive a preferred  return  equal to the greater of: (a) 9.25% on the
          original  investment  during  the first two  years  declining  to 9.0%
          thereafter, or (b) the actual dividends paid to common shareholders on
          1,666,667  shares.  Any unconverted  interest can be redeemed  without
          premium by the Company  after ten years.  Proceeds of the  transaction
          were used to fund acquisitions and reduce debt.

          At December 31, 1997,  9,317,556  common shares and  7,301,741  UPREIT
          Units/interests were outstanding, for a total of 16,619,297.

8    MANAGEMENT COMPANIES

          Certain property  management,  leasing and development  activities are
          performed by Home Properties Management, Inc. and Conifer Realty Corp.
          (the  "Management   Companies").   The  Management   Companies  issued

          management  contracts for  residential,  commercial,  and  development
          managed  properties and certain other assets.  This exchange  entitles
          the Operating  Partnership to receive 99% of the economic  interest of
          each Management Company. The remaining 1% economic interest and voting
          stock were issued to certain inside directors of the Company.

          The Management Companies receive  development,  construction and other
          fee income from properties in the development  phase.  This fee income
          is recognized on the percentage of completion  method.  The Management
          Companies are accounted for under the equity method.

          The   Management    Companies   provide   property    management   and
          administrative  services to certain real estate and other entities. In
          consideration  for these services,  the Management  Companies  receive
          monthly management fees generally based on a percentage of revenues or
          costs  incurred.  Management  fees are recognized as revenue when they
          are earned.

          The Company's  share of income from the Management  Companies was $92,
          $142 and $35 for the years ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and 1995,
          respectively.   Summarized  combined  financial   information  of  the
          Management  Companies  at and for the years ended  December  31, 1997,

9    TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

          The Company and the  Management  Companies  recognized  management and
          development  fee  revenue,  interest  income  and other  miscellaneous
          income from affiliated  entities of $8,427,  $6,170 and $2,291 for the
          years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          The Company leases its corporate  office space from an affiliate.  The
          lease  requires an annual base rent of $248  through the August,  2000
          lease  expiration.  The lease also  requires  the Company to pay a pro
          rata  portion of property  improvements,  real estate taxes and common
          area maintenance. Rental expense was $387, $349 and $237 for the years
          ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          From  time to  time,  the  Company  advances  funds as  needed  to the
          Management  Companies  which totaled $5,342 and $2,451 at December 31,

          Ground Lease

          The Company has a non-cancelable operating ground lease for one of its
          properties.  The lease expires May 1, 2020, with options to extend the
          term of the lease for two successive terms of twenty-five  years each.
          The lease  provides for  contingent  rental  payments based on certain
          variable  factors.  The lease  also  requires  the  lessee to pay real
          estate  taxes,   insurance  and  certain  other   operating   expenses
          applicable to the leased property. Ground lease expense was $180, $174
          and $169  including  contingent  rents  of $110,  $104 and $99 for the
          years  ended  December  31,  1997,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  At
          December 31, 1997,  future minimum rental payments  required under the
          lease are $70 per year until the lease expires.

          401(K) Savings Plan

          The Company  participates  in a contributory  savings plan.  Under the
          plan,  the  Company  will  match  75% of the  first 4% of  participant
          contributions. Expenses under this plan for the periods presented were
          not material.

          Employment Agreements

          The Operating Partnership entered into five-year employment agreements
          with two  executives on August 4, 1994 and one executive on January 1,
          1996.  Each  executive had a base salary of $160 in 1997, and for each
          subsequent  year the base  salary  shall be 10% in  excess of the base
          salary for the preceding  year.  The  executives  are also entitled to
          receive  incentive  compensation  pursuant to the Company's  Incentive
          Compensation  Plan as it may be revised by the Compensation  Committee
          from time to time.

          Incentive Compensation Plan

          Effective  January 1, 1996, the Incentive  Compensation  Plan provides
          that  eligible  officers and key employees may earn a cash bonus based
          on increases in funds from operations. No cash bonuses will be payable
          under the  Incentive  Compensation  Plan unless the  increase in funds
          from  operations  per share,  after giving  effect to the bonuses,  is
          equal to or greater than 2%. The bonus  expense  charged to operations
          was $1,193,  $495 and $0 for the years ended  December 31, 1997,  1996
          and 1995, respectively.

          Contingencies

          The Company is subject to various  legal  proceedings  and claims that
          arise in the ordinary course of business.  These matters are generally
          covered by insurance.  While the resolution of these matters cannot be
          predicted with certainty,  management  believes that the final outcome
          of such legal  proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse
          effect on the Company's  liquidity,  financial  position or results of
          operations.

          Debt Covenants

          The line of credit loan agreement contains  restrictions  which, among
          other things,  require  maintenance  of certain  financial  ratios and
          limit the payment of dividends.  At December 31, 1997, the Company was
          in compliance with these covenants.

          Prior Property Acquisitions

          In connection  with a property  acquisition  which closed on September
          23,  1997,  the Company is  obligated  for six months from the closing
          date to  redeem  the  issued  UPREIT  Units  for cash at the  original
          closing  price of $24.28  per Unit.  If all  redemption  options  were
          exercised, the total liability would be $15,490.

          In connection with a 1996 transaction, the Company is obligated to pay
          additional  consideration  in UPREIT Units if  development  fee income
          exceeds target levels over the first five years.  Management  does not
          anticipate  the  issuance  of these  UPREIT  Units to have a  material
          adverse  effect on the  Company's  liquidity,  financial  position  or
          results of operations.

          In connection with various UPREIT transactions, the Company has agreed
          to maintain  certain levels of nonrecourse  debt  associated  with the
          contributed   properties  acquired.   In  addition,   the  Company  is
          restricted in its ability to sell certain contributed  properties (39%
          of the owned  portfolio) for a period of time unless in a tax deferred
          Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 like-kind exchange.

          Guarantees

          The Company has guaranteed temporary  construction  financing totaling
          $931  associated  with one entity and a total of $2,482 of  additional
          debt  associated  with five entities  where the Company is the general
          partner.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  guaranteed  the Low Income
          Housing  Tax Credit to limited  partners  in  thirty-one  partnerships
          totaling approximately $22,000. As of December 31, 1997, there were no
          known conditions that would make such payments necessary.

          The Company  guarantees  the  successful  construction  of  properties
          developed under the federal government's Low Income Housing Tax Credit
          Program.   The   outstanding   guarantee   at  December  31,  1997  is
          approximately  $21,500.  In addition,  the Company,  acting as general
          partner in certain partnerships, is obligated to advance funds to meet
          partnership operating deficits.

11   STOCK BENEFIT PLAN

          The Company has adopted the 1994 Stock  Benefit Plan as Amended (the "
          Plan " ). Plan participants include officers,  non-employee directors,
          and key  employees  of the Company.  The Company has reserved  946,000
          shares for issuance to officers and employees  and 154,000  shares for
          issuance to  non-employee  directors.  Options granted to officers and
          employees of the Company vest 20% for each year of service  until 100%
          vested on the fifth  anniversary.  Certain officers' options (264,000)
          and  directors'  options  (78,500) vest  immediately  upon grant.  The
          exercise  price per share for stock  options may not be less than 100%
          of the fair  market  value of a share of common  stock on the date the
          stock option is granted  (110% of the fair market value in the case of
          incentive stock options granted to employees who hold more than 10% of
          the voting power of the Company's common stock).  During 1996, 144,000
          of the total  options  granted had an exercise  price greater than the
          fair market value of the stock at the date of the grant.  The weighted
          average  fair value of these  options  was $0.78.  Options  granted to
          directors  and employees who hold more than 10% of the voting power of
          the Company expire after five years from the date of grant.  All other
          options  expire after ten years from the date of grant.  The Plan also
          allows for the grant of stock appreciation rights and restricted stock
          awards,  however,  there were none granted at  December 31,  1997.  At
          December 31, 1997, 179,999 and 75,500 common shares were available for
          future  grant of options  or awards  under the Plan for  officers  and
          employees and non-employee directors, respectively.

11   STOCK BENEFIT PLAN (Continued)

          The Company has adopted the  disclosure  only  provisions of Financial
          Accounting    Standards   No.   123,   "Accounting   for   Stock-Based
          Compensation."  Accordingly,  no compensation cost has been recognized
          for the stock option plan. Had  compensation  for the Company's  stock
          option  plan been  determined  based on the fair  value at the date of
          grant for awards in 1997,  1996 and 1995,  the Company's  proforma net
          income and proforma earnings per share would have been $6,299,  $4,031
          and $2,771, and $.85, $.72 and $.51,  respectively.  The fair value of
          each  option  grant  is  estimated  on the  date of  grant  using  the
          Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions used
          for grants in 1997, 1996 and 1995: dividend yield of 9.315%;  expected
          volatility of 18.97%; forfeiture rate of 5%; and expected lives of 7.5

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (SFAS) No.
128,  "Earnings  per  Share",  which  was  issued  by the  Financial  Accounting
Standards Board in February,  1997.  SFAS No. 128 requires dual  presentation of
basic  earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS on the face of all statements of
earnings for periods  ending after  December 15, 1997.  Basic EPS is computed as
net income divided by the weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding
for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the  potential  dilution  that could occur
from common shares issuable  through  stock-based  compensation  including stock
options.  The  exchange of an Operating  Partnership  Unit for common stock will
have no effect on diluted EPS as unitholders and stockholders  effectively share
equally in the net income of the  Operating  Partnership.  Reported EPS in prior
periods have been restated to conform with the provisions of SFAS No. 128.
