                          (PAR VALUE $.01 PER SHARE)
                                ---------------
  Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") is a highly focused real
estate operating company which engages in the development, acquisition,
operation and long-term ownership of multifamily properties in the
southeastern United States. ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a real estate
investment trust (a "REIT") for federal income tax purposes and expects to
continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to its shareholders.
  All of the 4,350,000 shares of ATLANTIC's common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Shares"), offered hereby are being sold by ATLANTIC. Of the
4,350,000 Shares being offered hereby, 3,933,334 Shares are being offered
hereby by the Underwriters, 75,000 of which are reserved for sale to officers
and employees of ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager. In addition, 416,666 Shares
are being concurrently sold by ATLANTIC to its principal shareholder, Security
Capital Group Incorporated ("SCG"). SCG will purchase such Shares directly
from ATLANTIC at the initial public offering price. The Underwriters will
receive no discount or commission on the 75,000 Shares reserved for sale to
officers and employees of ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager or on the Shares sold
to SCG. See "Underwriting". Prior to these offerings (the "Offering"), there
has been no public market for the Shares. See "Underwriting" for a discussion
of the factors considered in determining the initial public offering price.
  Each purchaser of Shares in the Offering (or each subsequent transferee who
is the holder of such Shares on the record date for the Homestead transaction
described herein) will also receive a distribution per Share of at least
0.110866 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Homestead
Village Incorporated ("Homestead") and warrants to purchase at least 0.074378
shares of Homestead common stock. See "Homestead Transaction".
  SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 17 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS
RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES.
  The risk factors include:
  . The value of ATLANTIC's assets is not based on third-party appraisals;
    therefore, the price of the Shares may be greater than the fair market
    value of ATLANTIC's portfolio.
  . The ability of SCG, which owns 64.1% of the outstanding Shares (57.8%
    after giving effect to the Offering), to exercise significant influence
    over the business and policies of ATLANTIC.
  . Conflicts of interest between ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager, which is
    owned by SCG, and other affiliates of SCG, and the ability of SCG and its
    Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William D. Sanders, to influence
    decisions regarding agreements with affiliates, which could result in
    decisions that do not fully represent the interests of all shareholders.
  . Possible inability of ATLANTIC to pay future distributions.
  . General real estate investment considerations, such as the effect of
    local economic and other conditions on real estate values and the
    possible inability to refinance revolving credit and mortgage
    indebtedness.
  . Concentration of properties representing 35.7% of pro forma revenues for
    the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 in the Atlanta, Georgia
    metropolitan area.
  . The distribution of Homestead common stock and warrants will result in a
    taxable dividend to shareholders of ATLANTIC, whether or not ATLANTIC
    shareholders sell the Homestead common stock and warrants received in the
    distribution.
  . Taxation of ATLANTIC as a corporation if it fails to continue to qualify
    as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
  . The possibility that ATLANTIC being externally managed by an affiliate of
    its principal shareholder may adversely affect the market price of the
    Shares.
  In addition, there are certain other risks associated with securities of
Homestead and the Homestead transaction which prospective investors should
consider, as described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus of
Homestead attached hereto.
  The Shares have been approved for listing, subject to notice of issuance, on
the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") under the symbol "SCA".

                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
 
  This summary is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information
and financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. Unless
otherwise indicated, the information contained in this Prospectus assumes no
exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option. Unless otherwise
indicated, all ATLANTIC Share and per Share amounts have been adjusted to give
effect to ATLANTIC's one-for-two reverse Share split, which was effective on
September 10, 1996. Pro forma information regarding properties owned at June
30, 1996 includes properties acquired through August 31, 1996 and the property
to be acquired at their cost plus budgeted renovations, excludes properties
disposed of through August 31, 1996 and the property to be disposed of and
excludes ATLANTIC's Homestead Village(R) properties, which will be contributed
to Homestead at the closing of the Homestead transaction (which is expected to
occur prior to the closing of the Offering) (see "Homestead Transaction"). All
references to properties under control refer to developments in planning that
were under control at August 31, 1996. The term "in planning" means that
construction is anticipated to commence within 12 months. The term "under
control" means that ATLANTIC has an exclusive right (through contingent
contracts or letters of intent) during a contractually agreed-upon time period
to acquire land for future development of multifamily properties, subject to
removal of contingencies during the due diligence process, but does not
currently own the land. All references to Homestead's operations include
ATLANTIC, SCG and Security Capital Pacific Trust operations with respect to
Homestead Village(R) properties. For a complete description of the Homestead
transaction, prospective investors should carefully review the Prospectus of
Homestead which is attached hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference into
this Prospectus. All information contained in this Prospectus assumes that the
Homestead transaction has been completed. Homestead Village(R) is a registered
trademark of SCG, which will be assigned to Homestead as part of the Homestead
transaction. The term "Homestead Village" as used herein shall include a
reference to such registered trademark. See "Glossary" for the definitions of
certain other terms used in this Prospectus.
 
                     SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
  ATLANTIC, through its research-based investment strategy, engages in the
development, acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily
properties in the southeastern United States. ATLANTIC's objective is to be the
preeminent real estate operating company focusing on moderate income
multifamily properties in its primary target market. Through its REIT
Management Agreement with Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the "REIT
Manager" or "REIT Management"), ATLANTIC has access to the services provided by
the REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates, which provides
ATLANTIC with access to the same resources as a fully integrated operating
company. The REIT Manager has 76 professionals dedicated to implementing
ATLANTIC's highly focused operating strategy. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's
portfolio consisted of 22,257 multifamily units, including 4,966 units under
construction or in planning and owned, in 16 metropolitan areas and 41
submarkets in growth areas of the southeastern United States. The aggregate
investment cost of these 79 properties, including budgeted renovations and
total budgeted development expenditures, is approximately $1.17 billion.
Additionally, at August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under
control for the development of 1,693 units with a total budgeted cost of $100.1
million.
 
  Purchasers of Shares in the Offering will also have the opportunity to
receive an ownership interest in Homestead. Specifically, each purchaser of
Shares in the Offering (or each subsequent transferee who is the holder of such
Shares on the Distribution Record Date (as defined below)) will also receive a
distribution per Share of at least 0.110866 shares of Homestead common stock
and warrants to purchase at least 0.074378 shares of Homestead common stock,
assuming that the Underwriters fully exercise their over-allotment option in
the Offering and that Options (as defined below) to acquire 3,000 Shares which
were granted to Independent Directors (as defined in
 
                                       3
<PAGE>
 
ATLANTIC's charter (the "Charter")) on the date of this Prospectus are fully
exercised. Homestead will develop, own and manage moderate priced, purpose-
built, extended-stay lodging facilities designed to appeal to value-conscious
customers on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or in training. The
first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992 by Security Capital Pacific
Trust ("PTR"). Since then, PTR has developed and placed into operation 27
additional Homestead Village properties and ATLANTIC has developed and placed
into operation one Homestead Village property. Homestead expects to have a
total of 31 facilities operational and 41 facilities under construction by the
end of 1996 and plans to continue an active development program thereafter.
 
  ATLANTIC seeks to achieve long-term sustainable growth in cash flow by
maximizing the operating performance of its core portfolio through value-added
operating systems, developing industry-leading, multifamily product in targeted
submarkets that exhibit strong job growth prospects and demographic trends and
implementing its asset optimization strategy of redeploying capital into assets
that meet ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria and have significant long-
term cash flow growth prospects.
 
  ATLANTIC believes that its future growth will be driven by (i) its research-
based investment strategy which focuses on a primary target market exhibiting
strong demographic trends and job growth prospects; (ii) an experienced
management team which provides ATLANTIC with several senior officers with the
leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience to
oversee the operations of ATLANTIC; (iii) ongoing research and development
focused on identifying those submarkets and product types that will offer
continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth; (iv) a development
strategy targeted to moderate income households which ATLANTIC believes
represent one of the largest and most underserved segments of the renter
population; (v) a high quality portfolio providing an internal source of long-
term cash flow growth; (vi) the substantial resources available to ATLANTIC
through its affiliation with SCG and SCG's experience in managing two publicly
traded REITs; and (vii) a conservative balance sheet strategy that is expected
to provide ATLANTIC with significant incremental debt capacity and allow
ATLANTIC to take advantage of future investment opportunities on a non-dilutive
basis.
 
                                  RISK FACTORS
 
  PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER
"RISK FACTORS" PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION REGARDING THE SHARES
OFFERED HEREBY. THESE RISKS INCLUDE:
 
  . The value of ATLANTIC's assets is not based on third-party appraisals;
    therefore, the price of the Shares may be greater than the fair market
    value of ATLANTIC's portfolio.
 
  . The ability of SCG to exercise significant influence over the business
    and policies of ATLANTIC due to its ownership of 64.1% of the outstanding
    Shares (57.8% after giving effect to the Offering), its right to nominate
    up to three Directors and its right to prior approval over certain
    matters, including ATLANTIC's operating budget and substantial deviations
    therefrom.
 
  . Conflicts of interest between ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager, which is
    owned by SCG, and other affiliates of SCG, and the ability of SCG and its
    Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William D. Sanders, to influence
    decisions regarding agreements with affiliates (which must be reviewed
    and approved at least annually by ATLANTIC's Independent Directors),
    which could result in decisions that do not fully represent the interests
    of all shareholders.
 
  . ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of
    factors, any change in which could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay
    future distributions.
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
 
  . General real estate investment considerations, such as (i) the effect of
    local economic and other conditions on real estate values and the ability
    of residents to make rental payments, along with the general illiquidity
    of equity real estate investments, which may limit the ability of
    ATLANTIC to change its asset base; (ii) possible inability to refinance
    revolving credit and mortgage indebtedness; (iii) the risks inherent in
    development activities, including the risk that construction may not be
    completed on schedule; and (iv) competition in seeking residents for
    properties owned, properties for acquisition and land for development.
 
  . Concentration of properties representing 35.7% of ATLANTIC's pro forma
    revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 in the Atlanta,
    Georgia metropolitan area, which thus may be affected by changes in the
    economic conditions of that area.
 
  . The distribution of Homestead common stock and warrants will result in a
    taxable dividend to shareholders of ATLANTIC, whether or not ATLANTIC
    shareholders sell the Homestead common stock and warrants received in the
    distribution.
 
  . Taxation of ATLANTIC as a corporation if it fails to continue to qualify
    as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and ATLANTIC's liability for
    certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property.
 
  . The possibility that ATLANTIC being externally managed by an affiliate of
    its principal shareholder may adversely affect the market price of the
    Shares.
 
  . Ability of ATLANTIC's Board of Directors (the "Board"), which is
    comprised of a majority of Independent Directors, to change certain
    policies of ATLANTIC, including investment, financing and distribution
    policies, without a vote of the shareholders, which could result in
    policies that do not fully reflect the interests of all shareholders.
 
  . Limitations on the shareholders' ability to change control of ATLANTIC
    due to (i) restrictions on ownership of more than 9.8% of the outstanding
    shares of ATLANTIC's stock and possible redemption of shares acquired or
    voidance of the transfer of shares acquired in excess of 9.8% of the
    outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock; (ii) ATLANTIC's shareholder
    rights plan; (iii) ATLANTIC's classified Board; (iv) the Board's ability
    to reclassify unissued shares of ATLANTIC's stock; and (v) advance notice
    requirements to nominate Directors or bring other business before annual
    shareholders' meetings.
 
  . Possible adverse effects of increases in market interest rates on Share
    prices.
 
  . Potential liability of ATLANTIC for unanticipated or future environmental
    liabilities and the potential expense of compliance with the Fair Housing
    Amendments Act of 1988 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
 
  . Lack of a prior market for the Shares, the possibility that the initial
    public offering price of the Shares will not accurately reflect the
    market prices of the Shares and the Homestead common stock and warrants
    which will be distributed to holders of Shares and the possible effect on
    the market price of the future sale of a substantial number of Shares.
 
  . Dilution of net tangible book value of the Shares.
 
  In addition, purchasers of Shares in the Offering (or subsequent transferees
who are holders of such Shares on the Distribution Record Date) will receive
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock of
Homestead. There are certain other risks associated with securities of
Homestead and the Homestead transaction which prospective investors should
consider, as described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus of
Homestead attached hereto.
 
  For a discussion of ATLANTIC's transactions with related parties and the
compensation therefor, see "Certain Relationships and Transactions".

  ATLANTIC believes that its future growth will be driven by the following
operating characteristics:
 
  . STRONG PRIMARY TARGET MARKET. ATLANTIC believes the southeastern United
    States is geographically and economically diverse and, therefore,
    ATLANTIC has a strong primary target market in which to seek future
    growth. Although 35.7% of ATLANTIC's pro forma revenues for the six-month
    period ended June 30, 1996 are derived from the Atlanta, Georgia
    metropolitan area, as ATLANTIC continues to develop and acquire new
    properties outside of Atlanta, it expects the percentage of its revenues
    derived from properties located in Atlanta to decline. ATLANTIC's primary
    target market cities are Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama;
    Charlotte, North Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee;
    Nashville, Tennessee; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia;
    Southeast Florida (which includes Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach);
    Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C. Based on forecasts published by
    Woods & Poole Economics, Inc., the projected population growth in
    ATLANTIC's primary target market is 31.7% for the years 1996 through
    2015, whereas the projected population growth of the United States as a
    whole for the same period is 16.9%. For the same period, job growth is
    projected to be 26.0% in ATLANTIC's primary target market, compared to
    19.7% for the United States as a whole. Depending on the level of new
    construction starts by other multifamily developers, ATLANTIC believes
    that the anticipated population and job growth in its primary target
    market should contribute to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth in
    cash flow.
 
  . EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM. The REIT Manager provides ATLANTIC with both
    strategic and day-to-day management, including research, investment
    analysis, acquisition and due diligence, development, asset management,
    capital markets, accounting and legal services. Through the REIT
    Management Agreement, ATLANTIC has access to the services provided by the
    REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates, which provides
    ATLANTIC with access to the same resources as a fully integrated
    operating company. ATLANTIC's five senior executives have an average of
    23 years of industry experience developing and managing multifamily
    properties, thus providing ATLANTIC with several senior officers with the
    leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience
    to oversee the operations of ATLANTIC, although ATLANTIC's future
    operations will depend, in part, on ATLANTIC's ability to continue to
    retain and attract experienced personnel.
 
  . RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. ATLANTIC is dedicated to ongoing research and
    development. ATLANTIC utilizes Security Capital Investment Research
    Incorporated ("Security Capital Investment Research"), which is owned by
    SCG, to conduct comprehensive evaluations of its target market on a
    submarket-by-submarket basis to identify those submarkets that will offer
    continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth. In addition to
    market research, considerable resources are devoted to product research.
    This research is fully integrated into the operations of ATLANTIC's
    existing portfolio which enables ATLANTIC to adjust its operating
    strategies to reflect market conditions in an effort to achieve sustained
    growth in cash flow. ATLANTIC believes that its research-based investment
    strategy differs from other multifamily REITs operating in ATLANTIC's
    primary target market in that the REIT Manager and its affiliates have
    dedicated personnel who conduct comprehensive proprietary evaluations of
    ATLANTIC's target market on a submarket-by-submarket basis taking into
    account 24 factors, including market demand analysis, detailed supply
    evaluations of each submarket and other economic and demographic data.
 
  . MODERATE INCOME DEVELOPMENTS. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio
    consisted of seven upper middle income properties with a total expected
    investment cost of $131.8 million, 34 middle income properties with a
    total expected investment cost of $525.3 million and 38 moderate income
    properties with a total expected investment cost of $508.4 million.
    ATLANTIC's strategy is to become a company that focuses primarily on
    moderate income multifamily properties. ATLANTIC believes that moderate
    income households (those earning 65% to 90% of a submarket's median
    household income) represent the most underserved segment of the renter
    population. Despite the fact that moderate income residents make up one
    of the largest segments of the renter population, ATLANTIC believes that
    less than 10% of the 1995 multifamily construction starts in ATLANTIC's
    primary target market cities were targeted to moderate income residents.
    ATLANTIC believes that its strategy of providing this underserved market
    with well built communities in convenient locations will provide a
    significant
 
                                       6
<PAGE>
 
   source of long-term sustainable cash flow growth. In ATLANTIC's
   experience, moderate income residents are typically longer-term renters
   due, in part, to the financial resources required to purchase single
   family homes. As a result, moderate income properties benefit from a
   significant reduction in turnover expenses as compared to upper middle or
   middle income product. Because turnover expenses are a significant
   component of a property's operating expenses, a measurable reduction in
   turnover can result in meaningful increases in operating income.
 
   At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had 16 properties under construction or in
   planning and owned comprising 4,966 units at a total budgeted investment
   cost of $294.3 million. Additionally, at August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had
   land in planning and under control for the development of 1,693 units with
   a total budgeted cost of $100.1 million. ATLANTIC expects to start
   construction on 949 units with a total budgeted cost of approximately
   $53.7 million between September 1, 1996 and December 31, 1996. In 1997,
   ATLANTIC expects to start between $175 million and $225 million of
   multifamily property developments. In 1996 and 1997, approximately 62% of
   ATLANTIC's total development activities are expected to constitute
   moderate income product, based on expected investment cost.
 
  . HIGH QUALITY PORTFOLIO. Net operating income on a "same store" basis (as
    adjusted for pre-stabilized versus stabilized accounting differences)
    increased 8.76% from the second quarter 1995 to the second quarter 1996
    and 5.29% from the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 to the six-month
    period ended June 30, 1996 for the 37 properties that were operating
    during both of such periods. The accounting differences result from
    capitalizing certain costs during the period after acquisition when a
    property is being repositioned and is classified as pre-stabilized and
    expensing those costs once repositioning is completed and the property is
    classified as stabilized. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's stabilized
    properties were 95.7% occupied. See "Business--Investment Analysis".
    ATLANTIC believes that this strong performance reflects the quality of
    its portfolio and strength of its primary target market. In addition, at
    August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio of multifamily properties consisted
    of 56.6% of stabilized operating properties, 18.1% of pre-stabilized
    operating properties and 25.3% of properties under development, based on
    expected investment cost. As the development properties are completed and
    the pre-stabilized properties achieve stabilization, they are expected to
    contribute significantly to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth in
    cash flow.
 
  . PORTFOLIO AND ASSET OPTIMIZATION. ATLANTIC develops and acquires
    properties with a long-term ownership perspective. Each year, REIT
    Management, with the support of Security Capital Investment Research,
    reviews ATLANTIC's asset base and generates operating and capital plans.
    In an effort to optimize the performance of its portfolio, ATLANTIC may
    from time to time dispose of assets that in management's view do not meet
    ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria. As of August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC
    had disposed of or exchanged four properties.
 
  . RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER. SCG, ATLANTIC's
    largest shareholder and the owner of the REIT Manager, owns 64.1% of
    ATLANTIC's outstanding Shares (57.8% after giving effect to the
    Offering). ATLANTIC benefits from the substantial resources available to
    it through its affiliation with SCG, including capital markets, research,
    accounting and legal services. To provide for a wider distribution of
    ownership and greater liquidity, SCG intends, over time, to allow its
    ownership interest in ATLANTIC to fall between 40% and 50% as ATLANTIC
    conducts future equity offerings, which is consistent with its ownership
    interests in the other operating companies in which SCG invests.
 
  . CONSERVATIVE BALANCE SHEET STRATEGY. ATLANTIC has a conservative balance
    sheet strategy. Long-term debt as a percentage of long-term undepreciated
    book capitalization was 15.6% at June 30, 1996 on an historical basis and
    15.4% at June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis as adjusted to give effect to
    the Offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom and to the
    Homestead transaction. In the future, ATLANTIC intends to access the
    public equity and debt markets. ATLANTIC's objective is to achieve an
    investment-grade debt rating and to issue long-term, fixed rate, fully
    amortizing unsecured corporate debt in order to limit ATLANTIC's exposure
    to floating rate or balloon financing. At October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had
    $239 million of borrowings outstanding under its $350 million revolving
    line of credit, and such outstanding borrowings are expected to be
    approximately $267 million at the time of closing of the Offering. This
    conservative balance sheet strategy is expected to provide ATLANTIC with
    significant incremental debt capacity and allow ATLANTIC to take
    advantage of future investment opportunities on a non-dilutive basis
    which will contribute to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth in cash
    flow.

                             HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
  Homestead was organized to continue the operations of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG
with respect to their respective moderate priced, purpose-built, extended-stay
lodging facilities. Homestead will develop, own and manage moderate priced,
purpose-built, extended-stay lodging facilities designed to appeal to value-
conscious customers on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or in
training. The first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992 by PTR. Since
then, PTR has developed and placed into operation 27 additional Homestead
Village properties and ATLANTIC has developed and placed into operation one
Homestead Village property.
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, purpose-built, extended-stay
lodging business. Homestead expects to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  Homestead's facilities are designed and built to uniform plans developed by
Homestead. Homestead expects to have a total of 31 facilities operational and
41 facilities under construction by the end of 1996 and plans to continue an
active development program thereafter. Homestead's plans call for the average
facility to have approximately 136 extended-stay rooms and take approximately
eight to ten months to construct. The average length of stay for a customer in
Homestead's facilities is in excess of four weeks. For the eight months ended
August 31, 1996, average physical occupancy and average weekly rate for PTR's
20 stabilized Homestead Village properties were 83% and $213 per week,
respectively, and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for PTR's eight and ATLANTIC's one pre-stabilized Homestead Village
properties were 69% and $227 per week, respectively.
 
  In March 1996, the Board began considering ways for ATLANTIC to maximize
shareholder value with respect to its Homestead Village properties. In May
1996, ATLANTIC, PTR, SCG and Homestead entered into the Merger Agreement (as
defined below). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG
will contribute, through a series of merger transactions (the "Mergers"), all
of their respective assets related to Homestead Village properties to
Homestead, and ATLANTIC and PTR will enter into the Funding Commitment
Agreements as described below, which will result in ATLANTIC (a) owning
4,201,220 shares of Homestead common stock, (b) owning 2,818,517 warrants to
purchase one share of Homestead common stock at $10.00 per share which will
expire one year after the Distribution Record Date, (c) owning up to
$98,028,471 in convertible mortgage notes as described below and (d) providing
a cash payment estimated to be $18.6 million to Homestead at the date of
closing of the Mergers (the "Merger Closing Date"). The $18.6 million payment
is required because ATLANTIC's Homestead Village properties, only one of which
is currently operating, are in earlier stages of development than PTR's
Homestead Village properties, therefore, ATLANTIC has not funded the same
percentage of total costs as PTR. This payment also assures that ATLANTIC
receives all of its shares of Homestead common stock at the Merger Closing Date
rather than being received in smaller increments over time as funds are
expended for Homestead Village properties contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
  Pursuant to the applicable Funding Commitment Agreement, ATLANTIC and PTR
will agree to provide secured financing to Homestead of up to approximately
$111 million and $129 million, respectively, which amounts are anticipated to
be sufficient to complete the development of the respective Homestead Village
facilities contributed by them. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive convertible
mortgage notes in respect of such fundings in stated amounts of up to
approximately $98 million and $144 million, respectively. The convertible
mortgage notes will have a term of approximately ten years, will bear interest
at 9% per annum, will not be callable for five years and will be convertible at
the option of the holder into shares of Homestead common stock after March 31,
1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
principal amount
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
outstanding, subject to antidilution adjustments. The ATLANTIC mortgage loans
and PTR mortgage loans will be used to finance the acquisition and development
of properties contributed by ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively. In addition, PTR
subsidiaries currently have $77,289,000 in convertible mortgage loans from PTR
which will be assumed by Homestead at the Merger Closing Date. These loans have
substantially the same terms as the mortgage loans described above. If all such
mortgage loans were made and converted, an additional 8,524,215 and 19,246,402
shares of Homestead common stock would be issued to ATLANTIC and PTR,
respectively.
 
  The Homestead common stock and warrants received by ATLANTIC will be
distributed, pro rata, to ATLANTIC shareholders (the "Homestead Distribution").
The Homestead Distribution will be made to holders of Shares of record at the
close of business on the record date established by ATLANTIC for the Homestead
Distribution (the "Distribution Record Date"). The amount of Homestead common
stock and warrants to be received by each ATLANTIC shareholder in the Homestead
Distribution will depend on the number of Shares outstanding on the
Distribution Record Date. Based on the number of Shares expected to be
outstanding on the Distribution Record Date assuming that the Underwriters
fully exercise their over-allotment option in the Offering and that Options to
acquire 3,000 Shares which were granted pursuant to the Outside Directors Plan
(as defined below) on the date of this Prospectus are fully exercised, each
ATLANTIC shareholder will receive 0.110866 shares of Homestead common stock and
warrants to purchase 0.074378 shares of Homestead common stock for each Share
held on the Distribution Record Date. If the Underwriters do not fully exercise
their over-allotment option or such Options are not fully exercised, it will
result in a proportionate increase in the amount of Homestead common stock and
warrants to be received by each ATLANTIC shareholder and, if the over-allotment
option is not exercised in whole or in part and none of such Options are
exercised, each ATLANTIC shareholder will receive 0.112628 shares of Homestead
common stock and warrants to purchase 0.075560 shares of Homestead common stock
for each Share held on the Distribution Record Date. No certificates or scrip
representing fractional shares of Homestead common stock or warrants will be
issued directly to ATLANTIC shareholders as a part of the Homestead
Distribution. Prospective investors are advised that the Homestead Distribution
will result in a taxable dividend to shareholders of ATLANTIC, whether or not
ATLANTIC shareholders sell the Homestead common stock and warrants received in
the Homestead Distribution. See "Risk Factors--Taxability of Distribution of
Homestead Common Stock and Warrants", and "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Tax Consequences of the Homestead Transaction".
 
  ATLANTIC's and PTR's respective shareholders approved the Homestead
transaction on September 13, 1996 and September 12, 1996, respectively. It is
currently anticipated that the Homestead transaction will close prior to the
closing of the Offering, with the Homestead Distribution occurring after the
closing of the Offering and the expiration of the Underwriters' over-allotment
option. For a more complete description of the Homestead transaction, see
"Homestead Transaction" herein and the Prospectus of Homestead attached hereto.

  The following table sets forth certain information with respect to ATLANTIC's
developments in planning and under control at August 31, 1996. The term "in
planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence within 12 months.
The term "under control" means that ATLANTIC has an exclusive right (through
contingent contracts or letters of intent) during a contractually agreed-upon
time period to acquire land for future development of multifamily properties,
subject to removal of contingencies during the due diligence process, but does
not currently own the land. There can be no assurance that such land will be
acquired. The unit and total expected investment information shown for these
developments is based on management's best estimates of the cost upon
completion of these developments.

on an historical basis for ATLANTIC (the "Historical Financial Results") as of
and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and as of and for the years
ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period from October 26, 1993 (the date
of ATLANTIC's inception) through December 31, 1993. The following selected
financial information should be read in conjunction with "Management's

The Pro Forma Financial Results are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual financial position and results of operations of ATLANTIC would have been
as of and for the periods indicated, nor do they purport to represent the
financial position and results of operations for future periods. Unless
otherwise indicated, all ATLANTIC Share and per Share amounts have been

- -------
(1) For the period from October 26, 1993 (the date of ATLANTIC's inception) to
    December 31, 1993.
(2) At October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had $239 million of borrowings outstanding
    under its $350 million line of credit, and such outstanding borrowings are
    expected to be approximately $267 million at the time of closing of the
    Offering.
(3) ATLANTIC believes that funds from operations is helpful in understanding a
    property portfolio in that such calculation reflects cash flow from
    operating activities and the properties' ability to support interest
    payments and general operating expenses. For an explanation of funds from
    operations, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
    Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources".
    Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
    income or any other generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
    measurement of performance as an indicator of ATLANTIC's operating
    performance or as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or
    financing activities as a measure of liquidity. On January 1, 1996,
    ATLANTIC adopted the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts'
    ("NAREIT") new definition of funds from operations. Under this new
    definition, loan cost amortization is not added back to net earnings in
    determining funds from operations. For comparability, funds from operations
    for the periods prior to January 1, 1996 give effect to this new
    definition. The funds from operations measure presented by ATLANTIC may not
    be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other REITs.

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other factors, the
matters described below. Each of these factors could adversely affect the
ability of ATLANTIC to make expected distributions to shareholders. In
addition, purchasers of Shares in the Offering (or subsequent transferees who
are holders of such Shares on the Distribution Record Date) will receive
shares of common stock and warrants to purchase shares of common stock of
Homestead. There are certain other risks associated with securities of
Homestead and the Homestead transaction which prospective investors should
consider, as described under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Prospectus of
Homestead attached hereto.
 
LACK OF INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF ASSETS
 
  The value of ATLANTIC has not been determined on a property-by-property
basis because ATLANTIC is an ongoing business enterprise. Accordingly, no
appraisals, independent valuations or fairness opinions from a financial point
of view of the properties have been obtained in connection with the valuation
of ATLANTIC. Furthermore, the valuation of ATLANTIC is not based upon the
historical cost of assets or the current market value thereof. Therefore, the
price of the Shares may be greater than the fair market value of ATLANTIC's
portfolio.
 
INFLUENCE OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND SIGNIFICANT SHAREHOLDER
 
  SCG beneficially owns approximately 64.1% of the outstanding Shares (57.8%
after giving effect to the Offering). See "Principal Shareholders". Through
its ownership of Shares, SCG controls approximately 64.1% (57.8% after giving
effect to the Offering) of the vote on matters submitted for shareholder
action, including the election of Directors, and no other shareholder may hold
more than 9.8% of ATLANTIC's outstanding shares of stock. See "Description of
Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of Shares". SCG has the right to
nominate up to three Directors, depending on its level of ownership of Shares.
See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--SCG Investor Agreement". The
Directors so elected are in a position to exercise significant influence over
the affairs of ATLANTIC. Additionally, SCG has the right to approve (i)
ATLANTIC's annual operating budget and substantial deviations therefrom, (ii)
acquisitions or dispositions in a single transaction or group of related
transactions where the purchase price exceeds $5 million and (iii) property
management arrangements. Accordingly, due to the foregoing, for so long as it
continues to own at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, SCG will retain
significant influence over the business and policies of ATLANTIC which may
result in decisions that do not fully represent the interests of all
shareholders of ATLANTIC. SCG is also the owner of the REIT Manager and
therefore will have the ability to influence significantly the operations of
ATLANTIC. To provide for a wider distribution of ownership and greater
liquidity, SCG intends, over time, to allow its ownership interest in ATLANTIC
to fall between 40% and 50% as ATLANTIC conducts future equity offerings,
which is consistent with its ownership interests in the other operating
companies in which SCG invests.
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
 
  ATLANTIC does not have any employees and relies on the REIT Manager for all
strategic and day-to-day management services. An affiliate of the REIT Manager
also provides property management services for approximately 85% of ATLANTIC's
properties.
 
  Four officers of the REIT Manager and its affiliates (Jeffrey A. Klopf,
Senior Vice President of SCG, ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager (securities
offerings, corporate acquisitions and legal), Ariel Amir, Vice President of
SCG (securities offerings, corporate acquisitions and legal), John H. Gardner,
Jr., Senior Vice President of ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager (multifamily
dispositions) and Kathy B. Farr, Vice President of ATLANTIC and the REIT
Manager (multifamily dispositions)) may have conflicts of interest in
allocating their time and efforts between activities on behalf of ATLANTIC and
other
 
                                      17
<PAGE>
 
activities of the REIT Manager's affiliates. Affiliates of the REIT Manager
also provide management services to PTR, a NYSE listed REIT which focuses on
multifamily residential properties in the western United States, and Security
Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a NYSE listed REIT which focuses on
industrial real estate in the United States. Security Capital Markets Group
Incorporated ("Capital Markets Group"), the REIT Manager's capital markets
affiliate, devotes a substantial portion of its time to these other REITs and
SCG. Messrs. Klopf and Amir provide centralized securities offering, corporate
acquisition and legal services to ATLANTIC and other affiliated real estate
companies, including PTR, SCI and SCG, and, as a result, do not focus their
full efforts and attention on ATLANTIC. Mr. Gardner and Ms. Farr provide
multifamily disposition services to ATLANTIC and PTR. In addition, the REIT
Manager and its affiliates share a common senior investment committee, which
approves all acquisition and development proposals before they are submitted
to the respective REIT boards for approval. PTR acquires multifamily
properties but operates in a different market than ATLANTIC. See "Policies
With Respect to Certain Activities--Conflict of Interest Policies" and "--
Policies Applicable to the REIT Manager and Officers and Directors of
ATLANTIC".
 
  The officers of ATLANTIC may also be subject to certain conflicts of
interest arising out of their positions with ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager and
its affiliates. These relationships may create conflicts between the promotion
of ATLANTIC's investment policies and those of the REIT Manager and its
affiliates. See "Policies With Respect to Certain Activities--Conflict of
Interest Policies".
 
  Ned S. Holmes, a Director of ATLANTIC, is also Chairman and President of
Parkway Investments/Texas Inc., President and Chief Executive Officer of Laing
Properties, Inc. ("Laing") and an executive officer of certain of Laing's
affiliates. Laing and its affiliates engage in the acquisition, development
and management of multifamily properties and Mr. Holmes may therefore have
conflicts of interest in presenting acquisition or development opportunities
to ATLANTIC.
 
  The owner of the REIT Manager, SCG, is ATLANTIC's principal shareholder, and
SCG and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William D. Sanders, could
influence decisions regarding the REIT Management Agreement, property
management agreements between ATLANTIC and affiliates of the REIT Manager and
fees relating to such agreements. Although all agreements with the REIT
Manager and its affiliates must be reviewed and approved at least annually by
ATLANTIC's Independent Directors, no assurance of arm's-length negotiations
can be given.
 
RISK OF INABILITY TO PAY FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS
 
  ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of
factors, including factors relating to the future operations of ATLANTIC.
These factors include, among other things, continued property occupancy,
capital expenditures and other costs relating to ATLANTIC's existing
properties. Some of the factors described above are beyond the control of
ATLANTIC, and a change in any such factor could affect ATLANTIC's ability to
pay future distributions. Hence, no assurance can be given as to ATLANTIC's
ability to pay future distributions. See "Distributions".
 
GENERAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
 GENERAL
 
  Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real
estate cash flows and values are affected by a number of factors, including
changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an
oversupply of multifamily properties or a reduction in rental demand in an
area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other
available multifamily properties and the ability of the owner to provide
adequate maintenance and insurance and to control operating costs. Although
ATLANTIC seeks to minimize these risks through the REIT Manager's market
research and
 
                                      18
<PAGE>
 
asset management capabilities, these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. Real
estate cash flows and values are also affected by such factors as government
regulations, including zoning and tax laws, interest rate levels, the
availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in,
environmental and other laws. Since a significant portion of ATLANTIC's income
will be derived from rental income from real property, ATLANTIC's income and
distributable cash flow would be adversely affected if a significant number of
ATLANTIC's residents were unable to meet their obligations to ATLANTIC, or if
ATLANTIC were unable to lease, on economically favorable terms, a significant
number of units in its multifamily properties.
 
  Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may
tend to limit the ability of ATLANTIC to react promptly to changes in economic
or other conditions. In addition, certain significant expenditures associated
with equity investments (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and
maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a
reduction in income from the investments. Like other REITs, ATLANTIC must
comply with safe harbor rules which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation.
Thus, ATLANTIC's ability to sell assets to change its asset base is restricted
by tax rules which impose holding periods for assets and potential
disqualification as a REIT upon certain asset sales.
 
 DEBT FINANCING
 
  To the extent it or its subsidiaries incur debt, ATLANTIC will be subject to
the risks associated with debt financing, including the risks that ATLANTIC's
cash flow from operations will be insufficient to meet required payments of
principal and interest, that ATLANTIC will be unable to refinance the
revolving line of credit secured by many of ATLANTIC's properties or current
or future mortgage indebtedness on its properties, that the terms of such
refinancings will not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness
and that ATLANTIC will be unable to make necessary capital expenditures for
such purposes as renovations and releasing units due to lack of available
funds. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and
ATLANTIC is unable to meet mortgage payments, the property could be
transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of income and asset value
to ATLANTIC. Nevertheless, it will be ATLANTIC's policy generally to arrange
fully amortizing, fixed rate long-term debt. See "Policies With Respect to
Certain Activities--Financing Policies".
 
 RISKS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
 
  ATLANTIC has developed or commenced development of 6,178 multifamily units
and expects to develop additional multifamily units in the future. Real estate
development involves significant risks in addition to those involved in the
ownership and operation of established multifamily properties, including the
risks that financing, if needed, may not be available on favorable terms for
development projects, that construction may not be completed on schedule
(resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs) and that
properties may not be leased on profitable terms. Timely construction may be
adversely affected by local weather, local or national strikes and by local or
national shortages in materials, insulation, building supplies and energy and
fuel for equipment. ATLANTIC intends to finance future development with cash
on hand or revolving credit borrowings (which ATLANTIC expects to repay with
proceeds from sales of long-term debt or equity securities); however, until
such properties are developed and leased, they will not generate any cash flow
to ATLANTIC.
 
 LAND USE AND ZONING CONSIDERATIONS
 
  Governmental authorities at the federal, state and local levels are actively
involved in the promulgation and enforcement of regulations relating to land
use and zoning restrictions. Regulations may be promulgated which could have
the effect of restricting or curtailing certain uses of existing structures or
requiring that such structures be renovated or altered in some fashion. The
establishment
 
                                      19
<PAGE>
 
of such regulations could have the effect of increasing the expenses and
lowering the profitability of any of the properties affected thereby.
 
 CHANGES IN LAWS
 
  Increased costs resulting from increases in real estate, income or transfer
taxes or other governmental requirements generally may not be passed through
directly to residents, inhibiting ATLANTIC's ability to recover such increased
costs. Substantial increases in rents, as a result of such increased costs,
may affect residents' ability to pay rent, causing increased vacancy. In
addition, changes in laws increasing potential liability for environmental
conditions or increasing the restrictions on discharges or other conditions
may result in significant unanticipated expenditures.
 
 RISKS OF INVESTMENTS IN MORTGAGES
 
  Although ATLANTIC's current policy is not to invest in mortgages unrelated
to its properties, ATLANTIC may invest in mortgages in connection with the
construction and development of new multifamily properties for ATLANTIC by
third parties. See "Policies With Respect to Certain Activities--Financing
Policies". In connection with the Homestead transaction, ATLANTIC will invest
in convertible mortgage notes issued by Homestead. See "Homestead
Transaction". In addition, ATLANTIC from time to time will invest in mortgage
loans to ATLANTIC Development Services Incorporated ("ATLANTIC Development
Services"), an entity in which ATLANTIC owns substantially all of the economic
interest, to fund the acquisition and development of certain properties that
meet ATLANTIC's investment criteria. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--REIT Management Agreement".
Mortgage investments are subject to certain risks, including that borrowers
may not be able to make debt service payments or pay principal when due, that
the value of mortgaged property may be less than the amounts owed, and that
interest rates payable on the mortgages may be lower than ATLANTIC's cost of
funds. If ATLANTIC invested in mortgages and if any of the above occurred,
cash flows could be adversely affected.
 
 UNINSURED LOSS
 
  ATLANTIC will initially carry comprehensive liability, fire, flood,
earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss insurance with respect to its
properties with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried
for similar properties. There are, however, certain types of losses (such as
from wars) that may be either uninsurable or not economically insurable.
Should an uninsured loss occur, ATLANTIC could lose both its capital invested
in and anticipated profits from one or more properties.
 
 COMPETITION
 
  There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate, including those that operate in the regions in which
ATLANTIC's properties are located, that compete with ATLANTIC in seeking land
for development, properties for acquisition and disposition and residents for
properties. All of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties are located in developed
areas that include other multifamily properties. The number of competitive
multifamily properties in a particular area could have a material adverse
effect on ATLANTIC's ability to lease apartment units and on the rents
charged. In addition, other forms of single family and multifamily residential
properties provide housing alternatives to residents and potential residents
of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties.
 
CONCENTRATION OF PROPERTIES IN ATLANTA
 
  At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio included $331.2 million of
properties, based on cost, that are located in the Atlanta, Georgia
metropolitan area, representing 35.7% of pro forma revenues for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, and thus may be affected by changes in the
economic conditions of that area. Conditions in the Atlanta market, including
the possibility of an economic downturn, could adversely affect cash flows.

TAXABILITY OF DISTRIBUTION OF HOMESTEAD COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
 
  The distribution of Homestead common stock and warrants will result in a
taxable dividend to shareholders of ATLANTIC, whether or not ATLANTIC
shareholders sell the Homestead common stock and warrants received in the
Homestead Distribution. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax
Consequences of the Homestead Transaction".
 
TAXATION OF ATLANTIC
 
 TAX LIABILITIES AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE FAILURE TO QUALIFY AS A REIT
 
  ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code, commencing with
its taxable year ending December 31, 1994. A qualified REIT generally is not
taxed on income it distributes to its shareholders as long as it distributes
at least 95% of its taxable income currently. ATLANTIC has qualified as a REIT
initially, but no assurance can be given that it will be able to remain so
qualified. No assurance can be given that legislation, new regulations,
administrative interpretations or court decisions will not significantly
change the rules applicable to ATLANTIC with respect to qualification as a
REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.
 
  If ATLANTIC fails to continue to qualify as a REIT, it will be subject to
federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, unless entitled to
relief under certain statutory provisions, ATLANTIC will be disqualified from
treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which
qualification is lost. The additional tax could significantly reduce cash
flows.
 
 OTHER TAX LIABILITIES
 
  Even if ATLANTIC continues to qualify as a REIT, it is subject to certain
federal, state and local taxes on its income and property. See "Federal Income
Tax Considerations--Other Tax Considerations".
 
EXTERNAL MANAGEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC is externally managed by the REIT Manager, which is owned by SCG,
which also owns approximately 64.1% of the outstanding Shares (57.8% after
giving effect to the Offering). The REIT Manager's indirect Share ownership
provides it with economic interests comparable to other shareholders, but
ATLANTIC being externally managed may adversely affect the market price of the
Shares.
 
CHANGES IN POLICIES
 
  The major policies of ATLANTIC, including its policies with respect to
investments, financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and
distributions, are determined by the Board. Although it has no present
intention to do so, the Board may amend or revise these and other policies
from time to time without a vote of the shareholders of ATLANTIC. See
"Policies With Respect to Certain Activities". Accordingly, shareholders will
have limited control over changes in policies of ATLANTIC.
 
LIMITATIONS ON ACQUISITION OF SHARES AND CHANGE IN CONTROL
 
 OWNERSHIP LIMIT
 
  In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, not more than 50% in value
of the outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock may be owned, directly or
indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as
 
                                      21
<PAGE>
 
defined in the Code to include certain entities). Pursuant to the constructive
ownership rules, SCG's ownership of Shares is attributed to its shareholders
for purposes of the 50% test. ATLANTIC's 9.8% share ownership limit for
shareholders other than SCG, as well as the ability of ATLANTIC to issue
additional Shares or other classes or series of stock (which may have rights
and preferences senior to the Shares), may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change in control of ATLANTIC without the consent of the Board
even if a change in control were in the shareholders' interests and may also
(i) deter tender offers for the Shares, which offers may be advantageous to
shareholders, and (ii) limit the opportunity for shareholders to receive a
premium for their Shares that might otherwise exist if an investor were
attempting to acquire in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of
ATLANTIC's stock or otherwise effect a change in control of ATLANTIC.
 
 SHAREHOLDER PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
  On March 12, 1996, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each Share outstanding. Each purchaser
of a Share subsequent to March 12, 1996 (including purchasers of Shares in the
Offering) will also receive a Purchase Right with each Share purchased. Each
Purchase Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase
from ATLANTIC two one-hundredths of a share of Series A Junior Participating
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred
Shares"), at a price of $40 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred
Share, subject to adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or
group of persons (other than certain affiliates of ATLANTIC) acquires 20% or
more of the outstanding Shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of
the outstanding Shares. Under certain circumstances, each Purchase Right
entitles the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise
price, a number of Shares having a market value of twice the Purchase Right's
exercise price. The acquisition of ATLANTIC pursuant to certain mergers or
other business transactions would entitle each holder to purchase, at the
Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time equal to twice the
Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights held by certain 20%
shareholders (other than certain affiliates of ATLANTIC) would not be
exercisable.
 
  The Purchase Rights may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of ATLANTIC without the consent of the Board even if a change in
control were in the shareholders' interests and may also adversely affect the
voting and other rights of shareholders. See "Description of Stock--Purchase
Rights".
 
 CLASSIFIED BOARD
 
  The Board has been divided into three classes of Directors. The terms of the
classes will expire in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Beginning in 1997,
as the term of a class expires, Directors for that class will be elected for a
three-year term and the Directors in the other two classes will continue in
office.
 
 PREFERRED STOCK
 
  ATLANTIC's Charter authorizes the Board to reclassify any unissued shares of
ATLANTIC's stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption. See
"Description of Stock--General" and "--Preferred Stock". Except as described
above under "--Shareholder Purchase Rights", no such Shares have been so
reclassified to date.
 
                                      22
<PAGE>
 
 ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS
 
  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, ATLANTIC's Bylaws require such
shareholder to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified
circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to
each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of
directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the "Exchange Act"); (ii) as to any other business that the shareholder
proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business
desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such
business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such
shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal
is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the
name and address of such shareholder as it appears on ATLANTIC's books and of
such beneficial owner and (y) the number of Shares which are owned
beneficially and of record by such shareholder and such beneficial owner, if
any.
 
  The classified Board, the issuance of preferred stock and the advance notice
provisions discussed in the preceding paragraphs each could have the effect of
delaying or preventing a change in control of ATLANTIC even if a change in
control were in the shareholders' interests.
 
POSSIBLE ADVERSE CONSEQUENCE OF LIMITS ON OWNERSHIP OF SHARES
 
  As noted above under "--Limitations on Acquisition of Shares and Change in
Control", under the REIT tax rules, not more than 50% in value of the
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock may be owned, directly or indirectly,
by five or fewer individuals. The Charter restricts the ownership of more than
9.8% of the number or value of the outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock by
any single shareholder. The ownership limitation does not apply to SCG. See
"Certain Relationships and Transactions--SCG Investor Agreement". The Board,
in its sole discretion, may waive this restriction if it is satisfied that
ownership in excess of this limit will not jeopardize ATLANTIC's status as a
REIT. See "Description of Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of Shares"
for additional information regarding the ownership limit.
 
EFFECT OF MARKET INTEREST RATES ON SHARE PRICES
 
  One of the factors that may influence the price of the Shares in public
markets will be the annual yield on the price paid for Shares from
distributions by ATLANTIC. Thus, an increase in market interest rates may lead
purchasers of Shares to demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely
affect the market price of the Shares.
 
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
 
 POSSIBLE LIABILITY RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of such removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws
impose liability for the
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
release of asbestos containing materials into the air, pursuant to which third
parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for
personal injuries associated with such materials, and prescribe specific
methods for the removal and disposal of such materials, which may result in
increased costs in connection with renovations at ATLANTIC's properties.
 
  ATLANTIC has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-
compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of the properties
currently owned or being acquired by ATLANTIC, and ATLANTIC is not aware of
any environmental condition with respect to any of such properties, which is
likely to be material. ATLANTIC has subjected each of its properties to a
Phase I environmental assessment (which does not involve invasive procedures
such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent consultants.
While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and
sampling, none of the environmental assessments has revealed, nor is ATLANTIC
aware of, any environmental liability (including asbestos related liability)
that the REIT Manager believes would have a material adverse effect on
ATLANTIC's business, financial condition or results of operations. No
assurance can be given, however, that these assessments and investigations
reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that no prior owner or
operator created any material environmental condition not known to ATLANTIC or
the independent consultants or that future uses and conditions (including,
without limitation, resident actions or changes in applicable environmental
laws and regulations) will not result in the imposition of environmental
liabilities.
 
 COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENTS ACT OF 1988
 
  The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the "FHA") requires apartment
communities first occupied after March 13, 1990 to be accessible to the
handicapped. Noncompliance with the FHA could result in the imposition of
fines or an award of damages to private litigants. ATLANTIC believes that its
properties that are subject to the FHA are in compliance with such law.
 
 COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990
 
  ATLANTIC's properties and any newly developed or acquired multifamily
properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (the "ADA") to the extent that such properties are "public
accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities" as defined by the ADA.
Compliance with the ADA requirements requires that public accommodations
"reasonably accommodate" individuals with disabilities, which includes removal
of structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas of
ATLANTIC's properties, where such removal is readily achievable and that new
construction or alterations made to "commercial facilities" conform to
accessibility guidelines unless "structurally impracticable" for new
construction, or in excess of 20% of the cost of the alteration for existing
structures. The ADA does not, however, consider multifamily residential
properties, such as ATLANTIC's properties, to be public accommodations or
commercial facilities except to the extent portions of such properties, such
as a leasing office, are open to the public. ATLANTIC believes that its
properties comply with all present requirements under the ADA and applicable
state laws. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in the imposition of
injunctive relief, fines or an award of damages.
 
RESTRICTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH TAX-EXEMPT BOND FINANCINGS
 
  ATLANTIC's portfolio includes properties which require that 20% of their
units be occupied by households whose income does not exceed 80% of the median
household income of the submarket in which the property is located; over 50%
of the households in such properties currently meet such requirements. There
can be no assurance that each property will continue to meet such requirements
in the future, in which case ATLANTIC may be required to refinance the tax-
exempt bonds used to finance such property.
 
                                      24
<PAGE>
 
NO PRIOR MARKET FOR SHARES
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares.
Although the Shares have been approved for listing, subject to notice of
issuance, on the NYSE, there can be no assurance that an active trading market
will develop or that the Shares will be so listed. In addition, the initial
public offering price may not accurately reflect the market prices of the
Shares and the Homestead common stock and warrants which will be distributed to
holders of Shares in the Homestead Distribution after the Offering. See
"Underwriting".
 
EFFECT ON SHARE PRICE OF SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Sales of a substantial number of Shares, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price for the Shares.
At October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had 32,951,580 Shares issued and outstanding. All
such Shares may be sold in the public market in the future pursuant to
registration rights or available exemptions from registration. See "Shares
Available for Future Sale". No prediction can be made regarding the effect of
future sales of Shares on the market prices of Shares. See "Underwriting".
 
DILUTION
 
  The pro forma net tangible book value per Share of ATLANTIC's assets after
the Offering will be lower than the initial public offering price per Share in
the Offering. Accordingly, persons acquiring Shares in the Offering will
experience immediate dilution of $4.89 per Share in the net tangible book value
of Shares acquired in the Offering. See "Dilution". Purchasers of Shares sold
in the Offering will receive shares of Homestead common stock and warrants to
purchase shares of Homestead common stock in the Homestead Distribution for no
additional consideration, assuming that they continue to hold such Shares on
the Distribution Record Date.
 
                     SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
  ATLANTIC, through its research-based investment strategy, engages in the
development, acquisition, operation and long-term ownership of multifamily
properties in the southeastern United States. ATLANTIC's objective is to be the
preeminent real estate operating company focusing on moderate income
multifamily properties in its primary target market. Through the REIT
Management Agreement, ATLANTIC has access to the services provided by the REIT
Manager and its specialized service affiliates, which provides ATLANTIC with
access to the same resources as a fully integrated operating company. The REIT
Manager has 76 professionals dedicated to implementing ATLANTIC's highly
focused operating strategy. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted
of 22,257 multifamily units, including 4,966 units under construction or in
planning and owned, in 16 metropolitan areas and 41 submarkets in growth areas
of the southeastern United States. The aggregate investment cost of these 79
properties, including budgeted renovations and total budgeted development
expenditures, is approximately $1.17 billion. Additionally, at August 31, 1996,
ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the development of 1,693
units with a total budgeted cost of $100.1 million.
 
  ATLANTIC seeks to achieve long-term sustainable growth in cash flow by
maximizing the operating performance of its core portfolio through value-added
operating systems, developing industry-leading, multifamily product in targeted
submarkets that exhibit strong job growth prospects and demographic trends and
implementing its asset optimization strategy of redeploying capital into assets
that meet ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria and have significant long-
term cash flow growth prospects. See "Business--Key Components Driving
ATLANTIC's Growth".
 
  ATLANTIC believes that the southeastern United States presents attractive
investment opportunities because of the region's growing population and job
market. ATLANTIC's investment activity is focused primarily on the following
metropolitan areas: Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama; Charlotte, North
Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee; Nashville, Tennessee;
Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; Southeast Florida (which includes
Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach); Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C.
 
                                       25
<PAGE>
 
  ATLANTIC believes that growth in cash flow requires an intensive focus on
resident service, marketing and the operation and development of functional and
cost effective multifamily properties in growing cities. To enhance its cash
flow growth, ATLANTIC believes it should achieve significant market presence
and enjoy the benefits that typically accrue to the major owners of multifamily
properties in its markets. The REIT Manager and its specialized service
affiliates provide ATLANTIC with expertise in market research, multifamily
property acquisitions and due diligence, development of multifamily properties,
leasing and asset management, capital markets and financial operations.
 
  ATLANTIC's executive offices are located at Six Piedmont Center, Atlanta,
Georgia 30305, and its telephone number is (404) 237-9292. ATLANTIC is a
Maryland corporation. Its predecessor was formed in October 1993 as a Delaware
corporation, and ATLANTIC was re-formed as a Maryland corporation in April
1994.
 
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
 
  The proceeds to ATLANTIC from the sale of the Shares offered hereby, net of
all expenses of the Offering, are expected to be approximately $97.2 million.
The net proceeds will be used to retire revolving credit debt which was
incurred for (i) the acquisition and development of multifamily properties,
(ii) capital improvements to properties, (iii) general corporate purposes and
(iv) the purchase of shares of Homestead common stock on the Merger Closing
Date. If the Underwriters' over-allotment option to purchase 590,000 Shares is
exercised in full, the additional net proceeds of approximately $13.2 million
will be used for the same purpose. At October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had $239
million in outstanding borrowings under its $350 million revolving line of
credit with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, as agent for a syndicate
of banks, and such outstanding borrowings are expected to be approximately $267
million at the time of the closing of the Offering. Borrowings under the line
of credit bear interest at prime (8.25% at October 8, 1996) or, at ATLANTIC's
option, LIBOR plus 1.5% (6.875% at October 8, 1996) or the certificate of
deposit rate plus 1.625% (6.935% at October 8, 1996). See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Liquidity and Capital Resources".

  The following table sets forth the capitalization of ATLANTIC as of June 30,
1996 and as adjusted to give effect to the Offering and the application of the

(1) Through the second quarter of 1996, ATLANTIC's policy was to calculate and
    pay distributions based on the number of days of ownership during each
    period, resulting in multiple record dates which corresponded with the
    dates additional Shares were issued.
(2) Declared on September 16, 1996 and payable on December 16, 1996 to
    shareholders of record on December 2, 1996. Does not include the Homestead
    Distribution, which is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 1996.
 
 
  ATLANTIC expects to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to its
shareholders, but the historical distributions presented above do not take
into account the cost of being a public company and should not be considered
to be indicative of future distributions. In light of the Homestead
transaction and the Offering, the Board adjusted the distribution for the
fourth quarter of 1996 as compared to distributions for the first three
quarters of 1996. Future distributions are subject to declaration by the Board
and no assurances can be given that ATLANTIC will be able to maintain future
distributions at the fourth quarter 1996 distribution level. ATLANTIC's
ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of factors including,
among other things, continued property occupancy, capital expenditures and
other costs relating to ATLANTIC's existing properties. A change in any such
factor could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions. Moreover,
ATLANTIC's operating results may be adversely affected if occupancy levels
decrease, if revolving credit borrowing costs increase or if any other adverse
changes occur. See "Risk Factors--Risk of Inability to Pay Future
Distributions".
 
  Cash available for distribution will be affected by a number of factors,
including rental revenues from existing and new residents, the level of
acquisition and new leasing activity, ATLANTIC's operating expenses, the
interest expense and other debt service costs of ATLANTIC, the ability of
residents to meet their obligations, taxes payable by ATLANTIC and
unanticipated capital expenditures. ATLANTIC's policy is to expense, rather
than capitalize, repairs and maintenance, in determining net earnings and cash
available for distribution. Only major renovations, replacements or
 
                                      27
<PAGE>
 
improvements with a substantial expected economic life (such as roofs, parking
lots and additions) are capitalized. ATLANTIC has budgeted $3.6 million for
such purposes for the remainder of 1996. No assurances can be given that cash
available for distribution will be sufficient to pay future distributions.
Although ATLANTIC does not expect any future cash shortfalls, any such
shortfalls which do arise could result in reductions in ATLANTIC's cash
available for distribution which could result in lower than expected
distributions.
 
  In addition to the $3.6 million of budgeted capital expenditures, ATLANTIC
has $138.1 million of unfunded construction commitments and $80.7 million of
prospective acquisitions (not included in pro forma properties owned) under
letters of intent or contingent contracts. Additionally, at August 31, 1996,
ATLANTIC had $119.5 million of developments in planning (owned and under
control) of which $116.9 million had not been funded. In addition, pursuant to
its Funding Commitment Agreement, ATLANTIC has agreed to provide secured
financing of up to approximately $111 million to Homestead in exchange for
convertible mortgage notes. See "Homestead Transaction" and "Certain
Relationships and Transactions--Funding Commitment Agreements". ATLANTIC
expects to finance its renovation, acquisition and development investments and
its funding commitment under its Funding Commitment Agreement with borrowings
under its $350 million line of credit (which matures in June 1998) and future
offerings of debt and equity securities. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and
Capital Resources".
 
  Future distributions by ATLANTIC will be at the discretion of the Board and
will depend on the actual cash available for distribution of ATLANTIC, its
financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution
requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code (see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of ATLANTIC") and such other factors as the Board
deems relevant. For a discussion of the tax treatment of distributions to
shareholders, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of
Shareholders". Of the $1.20 total cash distribution per Share paid for Shares
outstanding throughout 1994, $0.28 constituted a non-taxable return of capital
and $0.92 constituted ordinary income. Of the $1.60 total cash distribution
per Share paid for Shares outstanding throughout 1995, $0.68 constituted a
non-taxable return of capital and $0.92 constituted ordinary income. Of the
$1.65 total cash distribution per Share to be paid for Shares outstanding
throughout 1996 (not including the Homestead Distribution), ATLANTIC estimates
that approximately $0.49 of such distribution will constitute a non-taxable
return of capital with the remaining $1.16 constituting ordinary income. For
information regarding the estimated taxation of the Homestead Distribution,
see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Consequences of the Homestead
Transaction".

                                    DILUTION
 
  The initial public offering price per Share exceeds the net tangible book
value per Share. Therefore, the holders of Shares subscribed for or issued
prior to the Offering will realize an immediate increase in the net tangible
book value of their Shares, while purchasers of Shares sold in the Offering
will realize an immediate dilution in the net tangible book value of their
Shares. Net tangible book value per Share is determined by subtracting total
liabilities from total tangible assets and dividing the remainder by the number
of Shares that will be outstanding after the Offering. The following table
illustrates the dilution to purchasers of Shares sold in the Offering and the
effect of the Homestead Distribution.

  Purchasers of Shares sold in the Offering will receive shares of Homestead
common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common stock in the
Homestead Distribution for no additional consideration, assuming that they

believe that the amount of dilution which will be experienced by purchasers of
Shares in the Offering is meaningful in evaluating a purchase of the Shares.

                             HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
  Homestead was organized to continue the operations of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG
with respect to their respective moderate priced, purpose-built, extended-stay
lodging facilities. Homestead will develop, own and manage moderate priced,
purpose-built, extended-stay lodging facilities designed to appeal to value-
conscious customers on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or in
training. The first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992 by PTR.
Since then, PTR has developed and placed into operation 27 additional
Homestead Village properties and ATLANTIC has developed and placed into
operation one Homestead Village property.
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, purpose-built, extended-stay
lodging business. Homestead expects to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  Homestead's facilities are designed and built to uniform plans developed by
Homestead. Homestead expects to have a total of 31 facilities operational and
41 facilities under construction by the end of 1996 and plans to continue an
active development program thereafter. Homestead's plans call for the average
facility to have approximately 136 extended-stay rooms and take approximately
eight to ten months to construct. The average length of stay for a customer in
Homestead's facilities is in excess of four weeks. For the eight months ended
August 31, 1996, average physical occupancy and average weekly rate for PTR's
20 stabilized Homestead Village properties were 83% and $213 per week,
respectively and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for PTR's eight and ATLANTIC's one pre-stabilized Homestead
Village properties were 69% and $227 per week, respectively.
 
  In March 1996, the Board began considering ways for ATLANTIC to maximize
shareholder value with respect to its Homestead Village properties. In May
1996, ATLANTIC, PTR, SCG and Homestead entered into the Merger and
Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 21, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement").
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG will
contribute, through the Mergers, all of their respective assets related to
Homestead Village properties to Homestead as follows:
 
  . ATLANTIC will contribute 26 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 4,201,220 shares of Homestead
    common stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC will provide a
    cash payment estimated to be $18.6 million to Homestead at the Merger
    Closing Date. This payment is required because ATLANTIC's Homestead
    Village properties, only one of which is currently operating, are in
    earlier stages of development than PTR's Homestead Village properties,
    therefore ATLANTIC has not funded the same percentage of total costs as
    PTR. This payment also assures that ATLANTIC receives all of its shares
    of Homestead common stock at the Merger Closing Date rather than being
    received in smaller increments over time as funds are expended for
    Homestead Village properties contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
  . PTR will contribute 54 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727 shares of Homestead
    common stock.
 
  . SCG will contribute to Homestead its anticipated future cash flows from
    the ATLANTIC REIT Management Agreement and a similar management agreement
    with PTR and property management agreements relating to the Homestead
    Village properties in exchange for 1,819,750 shares of Homestead common
    stock, not including 2,243,038 shares which will be placed in escrow and
    released as funds are advanced under the Funding Commitment Agreements as
    described below. In addition, SCG will contribute the Homestead Village
    trademark and the operating system. No separate consideration was
    attributed to the Homestead Village trademark or the operating system, as
    the trademark and operating system would be necessary to achieve the
    anticipated fees. There are additional Homestead Village
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
   facilities which are in early stages of planning, but which are not owned
   or under control and are not included in the 80 facilities which will be
   contributed in the Homestead transaction, and are being planned and
   developed outside the target markets of ATLANTIC and PTR by SCG with its
   own funds. SCG will contribute the rights to certain properties to
   Homestead for no additional consideration.
 
  . Simultaneous with the transactions described above, ATLANTIC and PTR will
    receive 2,818,517 and 6,363,789 warrants, respectively, each to purchase
    one share of Homestead common stock, in exchange for their entering into
    the Funding Commitment Agreements as described below. Each Homestead
    warrant will be exercisable at $10.00 per share and will expire one year
    after the Distribution Record Date.
 
  . Pursuant to funding commitment agreements to be dated as of the Merger
    Closing Date (the "Funding Commitment Agreements"), each of ATLANTIC and
    PTR will agree to provide secured financing to Homestead of up to
    approximately $111 million and $129 million, respectively, which amounts
    are anticipated to be sufficient to complete the development of the
    respective Homestead Village facilities contributed by them. ATLANTIC and
    PTR will receive convertible mortgage notes in respect of such fundings
    in stated amounts of up to approximately $98 million and $144 million,
    respectively. The effect of these provisions of the Funding Commitment
    Agreement is that ATLANTIC will fund $1,133,535 for each $1,000,000
    principal amount of convertible mortgage loans. The convertible mortgage
    loans will be recorded for financial reporting purposes at a premium of
    approximately $13 million which will be amortized and recorded as an
    adjustment to interest income over the ten-year term of the mortgage
    loans using the effective interest method. The relative ownership
    percentages of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG in Homestead were determined based
    upon the relative value of the contributed assets assuming that all of
    the properties to be contributed have been developed and are fully
    operating. ATLANTIC and PTR have agreed to fund convertible mortgages to
    provide for the development of the Homestead Village properties and to
    achieve their respective ownership allocations. The funded amounts of
    ATLANTIC and PTR under the convertible mortgages therefore are in amounts
    that are anticipated, pursuant to currently existing development budgets,
    to be sufficient to complete the development of the respective Homestead
    Village properties being contributed by them. The differences between the
    funded amounts and the stated amounts of the convertible mortgage loans
    arise because the rate of return on the existing Homestead Village
    facilities contributed by PTR is projected to exceed the rate of return
    on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC to
    Homestead which are under construction or in pre-development planning.
    This expected difference in the rates of return arises because, as of
    July 1, 1996, PTR was expected to have 28 Homestead Village facilities in
    operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC was expected to have none
    and the average property development costs for the existing PTR Homestead
    Village properties, on balance, were expected to be less than those for
    the PTR and ATLANTIC Homestead Village properties projected to be built
    in the future because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead
    Village properties were in planning or under development during 1992 and
    1993 when land prices and construction costs were less than they are now
    and are anticipated to be over the next 18 months. Because of the
    foregoing factors, and as a result of Homestead's desire to issue a
    single class of convertible mortgage notes bearing a 9% per annum
    interest rate, the stated amounts of the convertible mortgage notes were
    adjusted to provide an effective yield (after giving effect to the
    premium due to the issuance of the Homestead warrants and the
    convertibility of the mortgage notes--see footnote (j) to the Homestead
    Village Incorporated Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in
    the Homestead Prospectus attached hereto) to each of ATLANTIC (8.46% on a
    fully funded basis) and PTR (12.42% on a fully funded basis) that is
    reflective of the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on
    all of the facilities contributed by ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively. The
    convertible mortgage notes will have a term of approximately ten years,
    will not be callable for five years and will be convertible at the option
    of the holder into shares of Homestead common stock after March 31, 1997
    on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
    principal amount outstanding, subject to antidilution adjustments. The
    ATLANTIC mortgage loans and PTR mortgage loans will be used to finance
    the acquisition and development of properties contributed by ATLANTIC and
    PTR, respectively. In addition, PTR subsidiaries currently have
    $77,289,000 in convertible
 
                                       31
<PAGE>
 
   mortgage loans from PTR which will be assumed by Homestead at the Merger
   Closing Date. These loans have substantially the same terms as the
   mortgage loans described above. If all such mortgage loans were made and
   converted, an additional 8,524,215 and 19,246,402 shares of Homestead
   common stock would be issued to ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively.
 
  . SCG will receive 817,694 warrants to purchase one share of Homestead
    common stock (on the same terms as ATLANTIC's and PTR's warrants) in
    exchange for providing funding to Homestead during the time between the
    execution of the Merger Agreement and the Merger Closing Date and the use
    of office facilities for one year.
 
  . The relative percentage ownership interests of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG in
    Homestead, giving effect to the issuance of the Homestead common stock at
    the Merger Closing Date, the exercise of all warrants and the conversion
    of all mortgage loans outstanding and which could be made under the
    Funding Commitment Agreements, would be 28.0%, 63.2% and 8.8%,
    respectively (before giving effect to the distribution of the Homestead
    common stock and warrants by ATLANTIC and PTR), and such percentages
    would be 25.3%, 57.1% and 17.6%, respectively, assuming all of the
    foregoing except the conversion of any of the mortgage loans.
 
  . After giving effect to the Offering and the distribution of all Homestead
    common stock and warrants by ATLANTIC and PTR, the exercise of all
    Homestead warrants, the release of all shares of Homestead common stock
    to SCG from escrow and the conversion of all mortgage loans and the
    subsequent distribution of the Homestead common stock issuable upon such
    conversion to the shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR, SCG would own
    approximately 48.8% of the outstanding Homestead common stock.
 
  The Homestead common stock and warrants received by ATLANTIC will be
distributed, pro rata, to ATLANTIC shareholders in the Homestead Distribution.
The Homestead Distribution will be made to holders of Shares of record at the
close of business on the Distribution Record Date. The amount of Homestead
common stock and warrants to be received by each ATLANTIC shareholder in the
Homestead Distribution will depend on the number of Shares outstanding on the
Distribution Record Date. Based on the number of Shares expected to be
outstanding on the Distribution Record Date assuming that the Underwriters
fully exercise their over-allotment option in the Offering and that Options to
acquire 3,000 Shares which were granted pursuant to the Outside Directors Plan
on the date of this Prospectus are fully exercised, each ATLANTIC shareholder
will receive 0.110866 shares of Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase
0.074378 shares of Homestead common stock for each Share held on the
Distribution Record Date. If the Underwriters do not fully exercise their over-
allotment option or such Options are not fully exercised, it will result in a
proportionate increase in the amount of Homestead common stock and warrants to
be received by each ATLANTIC shareholder and, if the over-allotment option is
not exercised in whole or in part and none of such Options are exercised, each
ATLANTIC shareholder will receive 0.112628 shares of Homestead common stock and
warrants to purchase 0.075560 shares of Homestead common stock for each Share
held on the Distribution Record Date.
 
  No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Homestead common
stock or warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common stock will be issued
directly to ATLANTIC shareholders as a part of the Homestead Distribution. The
agent for the Homestead Distribution will, as soon as practicable after the
Distribution Record Date, aggregate and sell all fractional shares of Homestead
common stock and warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common stock on the
American Stock Exchange or otherwise at then prevailing market prices and remit
the net proceeds (after deduction of brokerage fees) to ATLANTIC shareholders
who would otherwise be entitled to receive fractional shares or warrants. No
assurance can be given as to the price at which such securities can be sold or
the proceeds to shareholders from such sales.
 
  No ATLANTIC shareholder will be required to pay any cash or other
consideration for the Homestead common stock and warrants received in the
Homestead Distribution or to surrender or exchange Shares in order to receive
Homestead common stock and warrants, except as described in the following
paragraph. The Homestead Distribution will not affect the number of, or the
rights attaching to, outstanding Shares.
 
                                       32
<PAGE>
 
  In the Homestead Distribution, Homestead common stock and warrants will not
be mailed immediately to ATLANTIC shareholders of record whose mailing
addresses are outside the United States ("Foreign Shareholders") but instead
will be held by the agent for the Homestead Distribution for such shareholders'
accounts. As described under the heading "Federal Income Tax Considerations--
Tax Consequences of the Homestead Transaction--Tax Consequences to ATLANTIC
Shareholders--Foreign Withholding", ATLANTIC is subject to a withholding
obligation with respect to the Homestead common stock and warrants to be
distributed to Foreign Shareholders. On the Distribution Record Date, the agent
for the Homestead Distribution will mail a notice to each Foreign Shareholder
announcing the Homestead Distribution as well as seeking instructions from the
Foreign Shareholder electing between the following options: (i) providing a
check to the agent for the Homestead Distribution in the amount to be withheld
and receiving his or her full share of Homestead common stock and warrants or
(ii) having the agent for the Homestead Distribution sell that amount of
Homestead common stock and warrants necessary to satisfy the withholding
obligations and receiving his or her remaining share of Homestead common stock
and warrants. Within ten business days after the Distribution Record Date, the
agent for the Homestead Distribution will mail an additional notice to each
Foreign Shareholder setting forth the amount of the withholding obligation. A
Foreign Shareholder must deliver to the agent for the Homestead Distribution
his or her instructions and, if option (i) is elected, a check in the proper
amount of the withholding must be received by the agent for the Homestead
Distribution within 20 business days of the Distribution Record Date. If no
instructions are received from a Foreign Shareholder by the end of such period,
the agent for the Homestead Distribution will take the actions specified in
option (ii) in satisfying the withholding obligations with respect to such
shareholder.
 
  The distribution of the Homestead common stock and warrants will constitute a
taxable dividend to ATLANTIC shareholders, taxable as ordinary income to the
extent of the earnings and profits of ATLANTIC allocable to such Homestead
common stock and warrants, whether or not ATLANTIC shareholders sell the
Homestead common stock and warrants received in the Homestead Distribution. The
amount of the Homestead Distribution which exceeds the allocated earnings and
profits of ATLANTIC will be treated as a nontaxable reduction (although not
below zero) of a shareholder's tax basis in its Shares. To the extent that the
Homestead Distribution exceeds such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its
Shares, the Homestead Distribution will be taxed as gain to such shareholder.
See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Consequences of the Homestead
Transaction".
 
  The Homestead transaction has been initiated and structured by individuals
who are executive officers or directors of ATLANTIC and PTR, the REIT Manager
and PTR's REIT manager and are affiliated with SCG. As a result, the terms of
the transaction have not been negotiated at arms' length. No independent
representatives have been retained to negotiate the terms of the transaction on
behalf of ATLANTIC. If such representatives had been retained, the terms of the
transaction might have been more favorable to the shareholders of ATLANTIC.
Although independent representatives were not retained by ATLANTIC, the Board
established a special committee of Independent Directors consisting of Messrs.
Ned S. Holmes and Manuel A. Garcia III. The special committee engaged King &
Spalding as its legal counsel and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc. to advise it in
analyzing and evaluating the fairness of the Homestead transaction. Neither of
the members of the special committee is an officer of ATLANTIC or a director or
officer of the REIT Manager. Mr. Holmes beneficially owns 61,000 Shares, 1,055
common shares of beneficial interest of PTR and 67 shares of common stock of
SCG. Mr. Garcia owns 11,000 Shares and does not own any common shares of
beneficial interest of PTR or shares of common stock of SCG. Directors of
ATLANTIC other than members of the special committee beneficially own, in the
aggregate, 34,920 Shares, 21,999 common shares of beneficial interest of PTR
and 4,113 shares of common stock of SCG.
 
  ATLANTIC's and PTR's respective shareholders approved the Homestead
transaction on September 13, 1996 and September 12, 1996, respectively. It is
currently anticipated that the Homestead transaction will close prior to the
closing of the Offering, with the Homestead Distribution occurring after the
closing of the Offering and the expiration of the Underwriters' over-allotment
option.

HIGHLY FOCUSED BUSINESS STRATEGY GROUNDED IN RESEARCH
 
  Since its inception in 1993, ATLANTIC has employed a research-driven
investment approach, deploying its capital in markets and submarkets which
exhibit strong market fundamentals. ATLANTIC believes that population and
employment growth are the primary demand generators for multifamily product.
The following chart indicates the expected population and employment growth in
ATLANTIC's primary target market cities versus the United States as a whole
from 1996 to 2015. The chart is based on forecasts published by Woods & Poole
Economics, Inc., which bases its historical information on U.S. Census Bureau
information. There can be no assurances that the forecasted population and job
growth shown below will in fact occur.
      
                           [CHART APPEARS HERE]
 
  At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC owned properties in 41 of the 149 submarkets
within its target market. REIT Management is continuously researching
additional submarkets and cities and ATLANTIC may expand its primary target
market in the future; however, ATLANTIC intends to remain regionally focused
in the southeastern United States.
 
  At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of seven upper middle
income properties with a total expected investment cost of $131.8 million, 34
middle income properties with a total expected investment cost of $525.3
million and 38 moderate income properties with a total expected investment
cost of $508.4 million.
 
  Multifamily products are differentiated by the income levels of their
residents. In ascending order, the full multifamily spectrum includes
government subsidized housing, mobile home parks and moderate income, middle
income and upper middle income apartments. ATLANTIC deploys capital into the
latter three categories. ATLANTIC's upper middle income product appeals to
residents whose incomes, which equal 115% to 140% of submarket median
household income, are often sufficient to purchase homes. These properties
typically feature large luxurious units and numerous amenities, including
large exercise facilities and attached garages. ATLANTIC's middle income
product appeals to residents whose incomes equal 90% to 115% of submarket
median household income. Middle income properties have smaller units and fewer
amenities than upper middle income properties. ATLANTIC's moderate income
product accommodates residents with incomes ranging from 65% to 90% of
submarket median household income. Residents in this category, which typically
include couples, single parents and families with one or two children, are
value-driven and focus on unit livability and more practical amenities such as
washer/dryer hookups, storage space and playgrounds.
 
                                      34

  ATLANTIC's initial investment strategy focused on two components: the
acquisition of a substantial base of established multifamily properties to
provide operating cash flow and the creation of an internal development
process focused primarily on the development of moderate income multifamily
properties.
 
  The table below illustrates the growth in ATLANTIC's portfolio (excluding
Homestead Village properties) since inception in 1993:

(1) For operating properties, represents cost, including budgeted renovations.
    For developments under construction and developments in planning,
    represents budgeted development cost, which includes the cost of land,
    fees, permits, payments to contractors, architectural and engineering fees
    and interest and property taxes to be capitalized during the construction
    period, for properties in development. Does not include land held for
    future development, which is less than 1% of assets based on cost.
 
  ATLANTIC's initial acquisitions were principally middle income properties
since the existing moderate income property inventory in the southeastern
United States consisted primarily of older properties (15-30 years old) which
have been poorly managed, are either dilapidated or approaching obsolescence
and would not compete effectively in ATLANTIC's market. Accordingly,
ATLANTIC's existing portfolio includes a larger percentage of upper middle
(11.3%, based on total expected investment cost) and middle (45.1%, based on
total expected investment cost) income properties than moderate income
properties (43.6%, based on total expected investment cost).
 
  In the future, ATLANTIC will focus primarily on moderate income properties,
which comprise one of the largest segments of the renter population. This
product comprised 36% of ATLANTIC's 1995 development starts. In 1996 and 1997,
approximately 62% of ATLANTIC's total development activities are expected to
constitute moderate income product, based on expected investment cost. The
balance of development starts are expected to consist of middle income
properties.
 
  Few other REITs currently focus on the moderate income segment within
ATLANTIC's primary target market. Moreover, ATLANTIC believes that less than
10% of the 1995 multifamily starts in ATLANTIC's primary target market cities
comprised moderate income product. Consequently, ATLANTIC believes that the
moderate income segment is a significantly underserved market with limited
competition.
 
  Moderate income residents are typically longer-term residents due, in part,
to the financial resources required to purchase single-family homes. As a
result, resident turnover is often significantly lower in moderate income
properties than upper middle income or middle income properties. The total
cost of refurbishing and re-leasing a unit ranges from $700 to $1,500;
therefore, reducing resident turnover can have a material impact on an asset's
profitability. Due to market fundamentals and the operating characteristics of
moderate income properties, ATLANTIC believes that this product category
offers greater sustainable cash flow growth.
 
                                      35
<PAGE>
 
  ATLANTIC expects to continue to selectively acquire upper middle income
assets and acquire and develop middle income assets; however, its future
primary investment activities will concentrate on developing moderate income
properties.
 
BUILDING ATLANTIC'S OPERATING SYSTEM
 
  Through the REIT Management Agreement, ATLANTIC has access to the services
provided by the REIT Manager and its specialized service affiliates, which
provides ATLANTIC with access to the same resources as a fully integrated
operating company. The REIT Manager has 76 professionals dedicated to
implementing ATLANTIC's highly focused business strategy. ATLANTIC's
"Operating System" consists of six functional areas: research, acquisitions,
development, due diligence, property management and capital
markets/finance/legal. By focusing on a single discipline, professionals
within each of these areas develop substantial expertise. Interaction and
communication among these functional areas remain fluid; but separation
promotes certain checks and balances. For example, all acquisition and
development investments must be approved by a six-member investment committee
and ultimately by the investment committee of the Board.
 
 RESEARCH
 
  ATLANTIC is dedicated to ongoing research and development. ATLANTIC utilizes
Security Capital Investment Research to conduct comprehensive evaluations of
its target market on a submarket-by-submarket basis to identify those
submarkets and product types that present above average prospects for long-
term cash flow growth. These evaluations, combined with ATLANTIC's experience
in development and ATLANTIC's position as one of the largest multifamily REITs
in the southeastern United States, enable ATLANTIC to identify submarkets that
will offer continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth. In addition
to market research, considerable resources are devoted to product research.
The REIT Manager along with SCG Realty Services continually evaluates and
refines ATLANTIC's multifamily product to incorporate technologies and designs
that will enhance long-term livability for its residents.
 
 ACQUISITIONS
 
  Since its inception in 1993, ATLANTIC has selectively acquired multifamily
properties where land costs, demographic trends and market trends indicate a
high likelihood of achieving expected operating results. This system has
resulted in multifamily property acquisitions on favorable terms. As of August
31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio of properties acquired, net of dispositions,
aggregated 16,079 operating units representing a total cost, including planned
renovations, of $807.4 million. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had letters of
intent or contingent contracts, subject to ATLANTIC's final due diligence
(excluding the property included in pro forma properties owned), for the
acquisition of 1,590 units with an aggregate investment cost of $80.7 million,
including budgeted renovations.
 
 DEVELOPMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC has selectively developed multifamily properties where land costs
and demographic and market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving
expected operating results. This system has resulted in multifamily property
developments on favorable terms. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's completed
developments and properties under development aggregated 30.7% of its
multifamily portfolio, based on expected investment cost. As of August 31,
1996, the development multifamily portfolio consisted of the following:

(1) Represents budgeted development cost, which includes the cost of land,
    fees, permits, payments to contractors, architectural and engineering fees
    and interest and property taxes to be capitalized during the construction
    period, for properties in development. Does not include land held for
    future development, which is less than 1% of assets based on cost.
(2) Does not include land in planning and under control for the development of
    1,693 units with a total budgeted cost of $100.1 million.
 
  ATLANTIC carefully manages development risks by obtaining zoning and public
approvals prior to purchasing land. ATLANTIC does not take construction risk,
but instead uses qualified third party general contractors to build its
properties, using guaranteed maximum price contracts. To enhance its
flexibility in developing and acquiring properties, ATLANTIC may also from
time to time enter into pre-sale agreements with third party owner-developers
to acquire properties developed by such owner-developers when the developments
meet ATLANTIC's investment criteria. ATLANTIC targets development for markets
with high occupancy rates where population and job growth trends indicate
increasing future demand. ATLANTIC cannot eliminate all development risk, but
believes that the opportunities to better control product and realize higher
returns from development properties compensate for the retained risk.
 
  ATLANTIC traditionally has commenced development immediately after acquiring
a tract of land. However, in cases where land prices are favorable, ATLANTIC
has acquired and will acquire, on an unleveraged basis, prudent amounts of
zoned land for multifamily developments in the foreseeable future. In
addition, to provide for growth, ATLANTIC may utilize options and rights of
first refusal in order to control land for future developments.
 
 DUE DILIGENCE
 
  ATLANTIC believes that a REIT should have experienced personnel dedicated to
performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT Manager has three
full-time professionals performing due diligence for ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager's professionals utilize due diligence information systems and
procedures in screening potential acquisitions and developments for ATLANTIC.
 
 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC believes that a successful REIT must actively manage its properties
in order to increase cash flow and enhance the long-term economic performance
of the properties. Approximately 85% of ATLANTIC's operating multifamily units
are managed by SCG Realty Services, a property management firm headquartered
in Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance in various stages of transition to SCG
Realty Services' management. SCG Realty Services' address is the same as
ATLANTIC's. The property management fee paid to SCG Realty Services for the
year ended December 31, 1995 was $3.5 million. For a description of fees paid
to SCG Realty Services, see "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Property
Management Company".
 
  SCG Realty Services has over 450 employees. SCG Realty Services emphasizes
locally-based management of ATLANTIC's properties and has opened seven local
offices to serve ATLANTIC's target market. This network improves SCG Realty
Services' ability to respond to changes in local market conditions and
resident needs. ATLANTIC believes that SCG Realty Services has developed
superior operating procedures, financial controls, information systems and
training programs, which it expects to positively affect rental returns and
occupancy rates. In addition, incentive compensation programs have been
implemented for on-site property managers to further improve the performance
of the properties.
 
  The REIT Manager has taken an active role in overseeing SCG Realty Services'
management of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties. The owner of the REIT
Manager, SCG, also owns SCG Realty Services.

 CAPITAL MARKETS/FINANCE/LEGAL
 
  ATLANTIC believes that a successful REIT must have the ability to access the
equity and debt markets efficiently, expeditiously and cost effectively.
ATLANTIC's ability to efficiently access the capital markets permits it to
capitalize on the development and acquisition opportunities which ATLANTIC
believes exist in its target market. In order to maximize this function and
enhance relationships with major institutional sources of capital, SCG, the
REIT Manager's owner, formed Capital Markets Group, a registered broker-dealer
affiliate. Capital Markets Group's services are included in the REIT Manager's
fee and do not result in a separate charge to ATLANTIC. Capital Markets Group
and the REIT Manager have arranged private offerings for ATLANTIC, including:
 
  . In August 1994, ATLANTIC received approximately $10 million in gross
    proceeds from a private offering of Shares at a price of $20.00 per
    Share;
 
  . During the period March 1995 through June 1995, ATLANTIC received
    approximately $160 million in gross proceeds from a private offering of
    Shares at a price of $22.00 per Share; and
 
  . During the period November 1995 through May 1996, ATLANTIC received
    approximately $250 million in gross proceeds (at a commission cost of
    less than 1% paid to an unaffiliated third party) from a private offering
    of Shares at a price of $23.00 per Share (including approximately $28.9
    million of Shares sold to SCG at a price of $23.136 per Share).
 
  In June 1994, the REIT Manager arranged a three-year, $200 million revolving
credit facility for ATLANTIC (increased to $225 million in September 1994), at
an interest rate of prime or, at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 2% or the
certificate of deposit rate plus 2.125%. In August 1995, the REIT Manager
arranged for an increase in this line to $300 million and for a reduction in
the interest rates to LIBOR plus 1.75% and the certificate of deposit rate
plus 1.875%. In March 1996, the REIT Manager arranged for a further reduction
in the line of credit's interest rates to LIBOR plus 1.50% and the certificate
of deposit rate plus 1.625%. In June 1996, the REIT Manager arranged for an
increase in the line of credit to $350 million and an extension of the term to
June 1998. ATLANTIC's increased borrowing capacity enables it to acquire
properties prior to equity and long-term debt offerings and to eliminate or
minimize the amount of cash it must invest in short-term investments at low
yields. ATLANTIC believes its current leverage provides considerable
flexibility to prudently utilize long-term debt as a financing tool in the
future. After it has achieved a substantial equity base, ATLANTIC expects to
arrange fully amortizing, fixed rate 15 year to 25 year unsecured debt, the
proceeds of which will be used for revolving credit repayments related to
multifamily acquisition and development. This long-term financing strategy is
expected to allow ATLANTIC to prudently increase its capital base with debt
and equity.
 
  In July 1995, the REIT Manager negotiated a credit enhancement agreement
with FNMA which covers all of ATLANTIC's tax-exempt bond issues ($122.7
million at August 31, 1996). Under the agreement with FNMA, ATLANTIC makes
monthly principal payments, based upon a thirty-year amortization, into a
principal reserve account. Of these bond issues, $108.2 million have variable
interest rates. To mitigate the variable interest rate exposure, ATLANTIC
entered into swap agreements. Under these swap agreements, ATLANTIC pays and
receives interest on the aggregate principal amount of the underlying bonds
outstanding, net of the amount held in the principal reserve account. These
swap agreements effectively mitigate ATLANTIC's variable interest rate
exposure by ensuring that ATLANTIC pays interest on a fixed rate as provided
in such agreements. ATLANTIC has four swap agreements: (i) an agreement
expiring in June 2002 on approximately $23.1 million of bonds that fixes the
interest rate at 5.18% (excluding the cost of the credit enhancement
agreement); (ii) an agreement expiring in June 2005 on approximately $64.6
million of bonds that fixes the interest rate at 5.42% (excluding the cost of
the credit enhancement agreement); (iii) an agreement expiring in March 2006
on $5.0 million of bonds that fixes the interest rate at 4.82% (excluding the
cost of the credit enhancement agreement); and (iv) an agreement expiring in
August 2006 on $15.5 million of bonds that fixes the interest rate at 5.34%
(excluding the cost of the credit enhancement agreement). To the extent the
deposits in the principal reserve account with FNMA have not been used to
redeem any of
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
the outstanding bonds, ATLANTIC pays interest at the variable rates as
provided by the mortgage agreements on that portion of bonds outstanding which
is equivalent to the balance in the principal reserve fund.
 
KEY COMPONENTS DRIVING ATLANTIC'S GROWTH
 
  In addition to ATLANTIC's strong primary target market, ATLANTIC believes
that the following key factors will drive ATLANTIC's future growth: continued
research and development, moderate income developments, "same store" net
operating income growth, portfolio and asset optimization and a conservative
balance sheet.
 
 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
 
  ATLANTIC is dedicated to ongoing research and development. ATLANTIC utilizes
Security Capital Investment Research to conduct comprehensive evaluations of
its target market on a submarket-by-submarket basis to identify those
submarkets and product types that present above average prospects for long-
term cash flow growth. These evaluations, combined with ATLANTIC's experience
in development and ATLANTIC's position as one of the largest multifamily
property owners in the southeastern United States, enable ATLANTIC to identify
submarkets that will offer continued opportunities for long-term cash flow
growth. In addition to market research, considerable resources are devoted to
product research. The REIT Manager along with SCG Realty Services continually
evaluates and refines ATLANTIC's multifamily product to incorporate
technologies and designs that will enhance long-term livability for its
residents. ATLANTIC believes that its research-based investment strategy
differs from other multifamily REITs operating in ATLANTIC's primary target
market in that the REIT Manager and its affiliates have dedicated personnel
who conduct comprehensive proprietary evaluations of ATLANTIC's target market
on a submarket-by-submarket basis taking into account 24 factors, including
market demand analysis, detailed supply evaluations of each submarket and
other economic and demographic data.
 
 MODERATE INCOME DEVELOPMENT
 
  ATLANTIC's research-driven development strategy is to focus on developing
state of the art product in attractive submarkets to meet renter preferences
and demographic trends. ATLANTIC believes that developing communities designed
for long-term appeal to one of the largest segments of the renter population
(moderate income households) will allow ATLANTIC to achieve more consistent
rental increases and higher occupancies over the long term and, thereby,
realize cash flow growth. Development, principally of moderate income product,
is a critical factor driving ATLANTIC's long-term growth. By year-end 1997,
ATLANTIC anticipates that approximately 39% of its total portfolio will
consist of properties ATLANTIC has developed or is in the process of
developing and approximately 55% of these development properties will be
moderate income product, based on expected investment cost. Over an extended
period, management believes that operating results from ATLANTIC's development
starts will contribute significantly to ATLANTIC's cash flow growth.
 
  Development opportunities also permit ATLANTIC to incorporate into
multifamily communities technologies and designs aimed at enhancing long-term
rental growth while reducing ongoing maintenance costs. ATLANTIC has had the
opportunity to evaluate and refine its multifamily product through its history
of development. ATLANTIC, unlike a typical merchant builder, intends to own
long term the properties which it develops. Hence, ATLANTIC emphasizes long-
term durability by using materials and designs with an added view towards
minimizing long-term operation and maintenance costs.
 
 "SAME STORE" GROWTH
 
  Net operating income on a "same store" basis (as adjusted for pre-stabilized
versus stabilized accounting differences) increased 8.76% from the second
quarter 1995 to the second quarter 1996
 
                                      39
<PAGE>
 
and 5.29% from the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 to the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996 for the 37 properties that were operating during
both of such periods. The accounting differences result from capitalizing
certain costs during the period after acquisition when a property is being
repositioned and is classified as pre-stabilized and expensing those costs
once repositioning is completed and the property is classified as stabilized.
 
  ATLANTIC believes that the underlying conditions of its primary target
market, a function of its strong job growth and restricted supply of new
product, should continue to support high occupancy levels and allow for
consistent increases in rental income, while operating efficiencies and lower
resident turnover resulting from ATLANTIC's increasing focus on moderate
income product are expected to reduce operating costs and improve profit
margins.
 
 PORTFOLIO AND ASSET OPTIMIZATION
 
  ATLANTIC acquires and develops properties with a view to effective long-term
operation and ownership. REIT Management actively reviews ATLANTIC's asset
base. These reviews generate operating and capital plans and, with guidance
from its affiliate Security Capital Investment Research, identify submarkets
and product types that ATLANTIC believes will generate above average long-term
growth opportunities. In evaluating each multifamily community owned or being
considered for acquisition or development, the REIT Manager focuses on those
components which it believes provide the greatest opportunity for consistent
rental increases and high occupancies over the long term. Submarket locations
and demographics, unit mix, density and amenities of each community are
important contributors to long-term income growth. ATLANTIC may from time to
time dispose of assets that in management's view are not consistent with
ATLANTIC's long-term investment objectives and redeploy the invested capital,
preferably through like-kind exchanges, into assets that it believes meet
ATLANTIC's long-term investment objectives. ATLANTIC's asset optimization
strategy is based on the premise that it has a finite amount of investment
capital and that this capital should be deployed where it can produce maximum
cash flow growth. ATLANTIC believes that many of its existing upper middle
income properties will be candidates for exchange or disposition as
development of this product type by third parties continues. Consistent with
its current strategy, ATLANTIC expects to redeploy the proceeds into moderate
income assets with superior growth prospects. For example, ATLANTIC may
dispose of an upper middle or middle income property and reinvest the proceeds
through a tax-deferred exchange into a moderate income property. ATLANTIC
consummated a tax-deferred exchange of a middle income property for a moderate
income property in April 1996 and ATLANTIC believes that such exchanges will
contribute to growth in the future.
 
 CONSERVATIVE BALANCE SHEET STRATEGY
 
  ATLANTIC has a conservative balance sheet strategy. Long-term debt as a
percentage of long-term undepreciated book capitalization was 15.6% at June
30, 1996 on an historical basis and 15.4% at June 30, 1996 on a pro forma
basis as adjusted to give effect to the Offering and the application of the
proceeds therefrom and to the Homestead transaction. In the future, ATLANTIC
intends to access the public equity and debt markets. ATLANTIC's objective is
to achieve an investment-grade debt rating and to issue long-term, fixed rate,
fully amortizing unsecured corporate debt, which will limit ATLANTIC's
exposure to floating rate or balloon financing. ATLANTIC's $350 million line
of credit enables ATLANTIC to take advantage of investment opportunities in
its target market without investing significant funds in short-term
investments by providing a short-term source of funding between securities
offerings. As of October 8, 1996, $239 million of borrowings were outstanding
under the line of credit (and approximately $267 million in borrowings are
expected to be outstanding at the time of the closing of the Offering). This
conservative balance sheet strategy is expected to provide ATLANTIC with
significant incremental debt capacity and allow ATLANTIC to take advantage of
future investment opportunities on a non-dilutive basis which will contribute
to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth in cash flow.

INVESTMENT ANALYSIS
 
  Prospective property investments are analyzed pursuant to several
underwriting criteria, including purchase price, competition and other market
factors, and prospects for long-term growth in cash flow. ATLANTIC's
investment decision is based upon the expected contribution of the property to
long-term cash flow growth on an unleveraged basis. The expected cash flow
contribution is based on an estimate of all cash revenues from leases and
other revenue sources, minus expenses incurred in operating the property
(generally, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, personnel costs and
utility charges, but excluding depreciation, debt service and amortization of
loan costs) and a reserve for capital expenditures.
 
  ATLANTIC categorizes operating multifamily properties (which include all
properties not under development) as either "stabilized" or "pre-stabilized".
The term "stabilized" means that renovation, repositioning, new management and
new marketing programs (or development and marketing in the case of newly-
developed properties) have been completed and in effect for a sufficient
period of time (but in no event longer than 12 months, except for major
rehabilitations) to achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior to being
"stabilized", a property is considered "pre-stabilized". Due to its active
investment program since inception, 18.1% of ATLANTIC's multifamily portfolio
($211.4 million) was classified by ATLANTIC as pre-stabilized as of August 31,
1996, based on expected investment cost. By December 31, 1996, an additional
$89.8 million of these pre-stabilized properties are expected to be classified
as stabilized. At August 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's operating multifamily properties
(excluding properties in lease-up) were 95.7% leased. For operating properties
which ATLANTIC has acquired, stabilized operations generally have been
achieved six to 12 months after acquisition. For properties which it is
developing, ATLANTIC expects stabilized operations generally to be achieved 12
to 18 months after construction commences.
 
  The cash flow contribution of properties cannot be predicted with certainty,
and no assurance can be given that developed or acquired properties will
contribute to increased cash flow, or that developments and acquisitions will
be available on comparable terms in the future.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  ATLANTIC has no employees. The REIT Manager, whose sole activity is advising
ATLANTIC, manages the day-to-day operations of ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager has
assembled a team of 76 operating professionals in the REIT Manager and its
affiliates, collectively possessing extensive experience in multifamily real
estate. The majority of these persons are employed directly by and focused
entirely on the services provided by the REIT Manager, with the balance
providing centralized research, capital markets, legal and accounting
services.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  ATLANTIC is, from time to time, a party to a variety of legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of its business. Existing matters are not
expected to have a material adverse impact on ATLANTIC.
 
COMPETITION
 
  There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate, including those that operate in the regions in which
ATLANTIC's properties are located, that compete with ATLANTIC in seeking land
for development, properties for acquisition and disposition and residents for
properties. All of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties are located in developed
areas that include other multifamily properties. The number of competitive
multifamily properties in a particular area could have a material adverse
effect on ATLANTIC's ability to lease apartment units and on the rents
charged. In addition, other forms of single family and multifamily residential
properties provide housing alternatives to residents and potential residents
of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties.

                                REIT MANAGEMENT
 
GENERAL
 
  The REIT Manager provides ATLANTIC with strategic and day-to-day management,
research, investment analysis, acquisition, development, marketing,
disposition of assets, asset management and due diligence, capital markets,
and legal and accounting services, all of which are included in the REIT
Management fee. Hence, ATLANTIC depends upon the quality of the management
provided by the REIT Manager. ATLANTIC believes that its relationship with the
REIT Manager provides ATLANTIC with access to high quality and depth of
management personnel and resources, savings from a dedicated capital markets
group, and access to centralized research, accounting and legal support. As of
October 8, 1996, 76 operating professionals were employed by the REIT Manager
and its specialized service affiliates. The REIT Manager also provides office
and other facilities for ATLANTIC's needs. The REIT Manager's address is the
same as ATLANTIC's.
 
  The owner of the REIT Manager has a substantial shareholder interest in
ATLANTIC, creating commonality of interest with ATLANTIC's shareholders, and
the REIT Management Agreement prohibits self-dealing principal transactions
between ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager and its affiliates. The Homestead
transaction would be prohibited by the terms of the REIT Management Agreement;
the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC have waived this prohibition. Furthermore, the
REIT Manager provides all its services for one fee, and an affiliate provides
property management services at market rates in a competitive environment. The
REIT Manager does not receive additional fees for investment banking,
financing, asset sales or similar services. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--REIT Management
Agreement".
 
  The REIT Manager has organized itself as follows:
 
  . Each operating professional specializes in a particular discipline (such
    as research, marketing, development, acquisitions, due diligence, asset
    management, capital markets or financial operations) rather than being
    responsible for all functions on a project-by-project basis;
 
  . Local investments are approved by the REIT Manager's investment
    committee, using uniform criteria, prior to being submitted to ATLANTIC's
    investment committee;
 
  . Regional operating professionals focus on specific target markets to
    ensure attention to resident services; and
 
  . ATLANTIC officers who own Shares have purchased their Shares rather than
    receiving stock grants or operating units.
 
  ATLANTIC believes that the quality of management should be assessed in light
of the following factors:
 
 MANAGEMENT DEPTH/SUCCESSION
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management should have several senior executives with
the leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience to
oversee the entire operations of the REIT. ATLANTIC believes that several of
its senior officers could serve as the principal executive officer and
continue ATLANTIC's performance. See "--Directors and Officers of ATLANTIC,
the REIT Manager and Relevant Affiliates" below.
 
 STRATEGIC VISION
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management should have the strategic vision to
determine an investment focus which provides favorable initial yields and
long-term growth prospects. The REIT Manager has demonstrated its strategic
vision by focusing ATLANTIC on multifamily properties in the southeastern
United States, where demographic and supply factors have permitted high
occupancies at increasing rents, conditions which are consistent with the
long-term demographic forecast for the target market cities.
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
 RESEARCH CAPABILITY
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management should have the means for researching
markets to determine appropriate investment opportunities. ATLANTIC divides
its target market cities into numerous submarkets for analysis purposes. The
REIT Manager and its affiliates have several persons devoting substantial time
to research, on a submarket-by-submarket basis, who are closely supervised by
senior officers of the REIT Manager; hence, the REIT Manager's research has
supplemented ATLANTIC's strategic focus and investment program.
 
 INVESTMENT COMMITTEE PROCESS
 
  ATLANTIC believes that investment committees should provide discipline and
guidance to the investment activities of the REIT in order to achieve its
investment goals. The six members of the REIT Manager's investment committee
have a combined 120 years experience in the real estate industry. See "--
Directors and Officers of ATLANTIC, the REIT Manager and Relevant Affiliates"
below. The investment committee receives detailed written analyses and
research, in a standardized format, from the REIT Manager's personnel and
evaluates all prospective investments pursuant to uniform underwriting
criteria prior to submission of investment recommendations to the investment
committee of the Board. The quality of the REIT Manager's investment committee
process is evident from the ability of ATLANTIC to achieve its investment
goals, generally realizing its projected initial returns and growth from
multifamily investments.
 
 DEVELOPMENT/REDEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION CAPABILITY
 
  ATLANTIC believes that by internally developing projects and redeveloping
well located operating properties, management can capture for the REIT the
value which normally escapes through sales premiums paid to successful
developers. The REIT Manager's personnel have substantial development and
redevelopment experience, as described in "--Directors and Officers of
ATLANTIC, the REIT Manager and Relevant Affiliates" below. The REIT Manager
has 22 full-time professionals committed to development and acquisition
activities. The REIT Manager has arranged for over $807.4 million of
successful acquisitions (net of dispositions) for ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager
is developing 4,966 multifamily units for ATLANTIC as of August 31, 1996, with
a total budgeted cost of $294.3 million. Additionally, at August 31, 1996,
ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the development of 1,693
units with a total budgeted cost of $100.1 million. REIT Management has
engaged in substantial development on behalf of ATLANTIC at attractive yields
which have exceeded projections and believes that development will provide
growth when the market for acquisitions becomes less favorable. See
"Business--Building ATLANTIC's Operating System".
 
 DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management should have experienced senior personnel
dedicated to performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT
Manager has three full time due diligence professionals and has developed
uniform systems and procedures for due diligence. The REIT Manager's due
diligence personnel have screened and selected a large volume of investments.
 
 CAPITAL MARKETS CAPABILITY
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management must be able to effectively raise equity
and debt capital for the REIT in order for the REIT to achieve growth through
investment. As set forth under "Business--Building ATLANTIC's Operating
System", REIT Management has successfully arranged funding for ATLANTIC's
investment program.
 
 OPERATING CAPABILITY
 
  ATLANTIC believes that management can substantially improve funds from
operations by actively and effectively managing assets. As described under
"Business--Building ATLANTIC's Operating System", the REIT Manager and its
affiliates have devoted substantial personnel and financial resources to
control and effectively administer the management of ATLANTIC's multifamily
portfolio.
 
                                      43
<PAGE>
 
 COMMUNICATIONS/SHAREHOLDER RELATIONS CAPABILITY
 
  ATLANTIC believes that a REIT's success in capital markets and investment
activities can be enhanced by management's ability to effectively communicate
the REIT's strategy and performance to investors, sellers of property and the
financial media. The REIT Manager provides at its expense full time personnel
who prepare informational materials for and conduct periodic meetings with the
investment community and analysts.
 
  ATLANTIC believes that successfully combining the foregoing attributes
significantly enhances a REIT's ability to increase cash flow and the market
valuation of the REIT's portfolio. ATLANTIC's cash flow from operating
activities and market valuation have increased under the REIT Manager's
administration.
 
REIT MANAGER COMPENSATION
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires ATLANTIC to pay an annual fee of
approximately 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement,
payable monthly. Cash flow is calculated by reference to ATLANTIC's cash flow
from operations, plus (i) fees paid to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary
expenses incurred at the request of the Independent Directors of ATLANTIC (of
which there were none in the periods reported) and (iii) 33% of any interest
paid by ATLANTIC on convertible subordinated debentures (of which there were
none in the periods reported); and after deducting (i) regularly scheduled
principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon payments) for debt with
commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii) assumed principal and
interest payments on senior unsecured debt treated as having regularly
scheduled principal and interest payments like a 20-year level-payment, fully
amortizing mortgage (of which there were none in the periods reported) and
(iii) distributions actually paid with respect to any non-convertible
preferred stock of ATLANTIC (of which there were none in the periods
reported). Cash flow does not include dividend and interest income from
Atlantic Development Services, interest income from the Homestead convertible
mortgage notes (after giving effect to the premium due to the issuance of the
warrants to purchase Homestead common stock and the convertibility of the
mortgage notes), realized gains or losses from dispositions of investments or
income from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee
of 0.20% per year on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
The REIT Management fee aggregated $4,704,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 and $6,923,000, $3,671,000 and $12,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period ended December 31, 1993,
respectively.

CLASSIFICATION OF DIRECTORS
 
  Pursuant to the terms of ATLANTIC's Charter, the Directors are divided into
three classes. One class (consisting of Mr. Potts) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1997, a second
class (consisting of Messrs. Garcia and Holmes) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998 and a third
class (consisting of Ms. Moore and Mr. Richman) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999. Each
Director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected and until
his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. At each annual meeting of
shareholders of ATLANTIC, the successors to the class of Directors whose terms
expire at such meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders held in the third year following the year
of their election. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of ATLANTIC's
Charter and Bylaws". SCG has a right to nominate up to three Directors,
depending upon its level of ownership of Shares, as described under "Certain
Relationships and Transactions". Ms. Moore and Mr. Potts are deemed to be the
nominees of SCG.
 
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
 
  The Board has established an Audit Committee consisting of Messrs. Garcia
and Holmes. The Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations
concerning the engagement of independent public accountants, reviewing the
plans and results of the audit engagement with the independent public
accountants, approving professional services provided by the independent
public accountants, reviewing the independence of the independent public
accountants, considering the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviewing
the adequacy of ATLANTIC's internal accounting controls.
 
  The Board has established an Investment Committee consisting of Messrs.
Holmes and Potts. The Investment Committee is responsible for reviewing and
approving all asset acquisitions and other investment decisions between
meetings of the full Board. Any decisions made by the Investment Committee are
reported to the full Board at its next quarterly meeting. The Investment
Committee receives recommendations from the REIT Manager's investment
committee.
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
  ATLANTIC pays an annual retainer of $14,000 to Directors who are not
officers or employees of ATLANTIC, the REIT Manager or its affiliates. These
fees are currently paid to Directors in cash (quarterly on each meeting date)
and will be paid to the Directors in Shares (quarterly on each dividend
payment date) based on the then current market price of the Shares following
the adoption by
 
                                      51
<PAGE>
 
ATLANTIC of a dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan as described
below. Such Directors also receive $1,000 for each meeting attended (other
than telephonic meetings), which is also paid in cash. Non-employee
chairpersons of Board committees (other than the Investment Committee) receive
an additional annual retainer of $1,000 payable in cash and non-employee
members of the Investment Committee receive an additional annual retainer of
$4,000 payable in cash. In the event that ATLANTIC adopts a dividend
reinvestment and share purchase plan, both the retainer and fees will be paid
directly into such plan. Officers of ATLANTIC, the REIT Manager or its
affiliates who are Directors are not paid any Director fees.
 
  In addition, pursuant to the Outside Directors Plan, each Director who is
not an employee of ATLANTIC, the REIT Manager or its affiliates will be
entitled to receive, on the effective date of the registration statement
relating to the Offering and on the date of each subsequent annual meeting of
shareholders, an option to purchase 1,000 Shares at a price per Share equal to
the closing price of one Share on such annual meeting date. See "--Outside
Directors Plan".
 
  Directors are reimbursed for any out-of-town travel expenses incurred in
connection with attendance at Board meetings. Ms. Moore and Mr. Potts are not
separately compensated for serving as Directors.
 
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN
 
  On March 12, 1996, the Board approved the Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated Share Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Outside Directors
Plan"). The Outside Directors Plan has been filed as an exhibit to the
registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part and the following
summary of the material terms of the Outside Directors Plan is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the actual terms thereof.
 
  The purpose of the Outside Directors Plan is to enable the Directors of
ATLANTIC who are not employees or officers of ATLANTIC or SCG or any of its
affiliates ("Outside Directors") to increase their ownership of ATLANTIC and
thereby further the identity of their interests with those of ATLANTIC's other
shareholders.
 
  To achieve the foregoing objective, the Outside Directors Plan provides for
grants of options ("Options") to purchase Shares. The Secretary of ATLANTIC
(the "Administrator") administers the Outside Directors Plan with a view to
ATLANTIC's best interests and the Outside Directors Plan's objectives. The
Administrator has authority to adopt administrative guidelines, rules and
regulations relating to the Outside Directors Plan and to make all
determinations necessary or advisable for the implementation and
administration of the Outside Directors Plan.
 
  The number of Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options granted
under the Outside Directors Plan is 100,000. Shares that are forfeited will
again become available for awards under the Outside Directors Plan. The Shares
subject to the Outside Directors Plan may be currently authorized but unissued
Shares or treasury Shares held or subsequently purchased by ATLANTIC,
including Shares purchased in the open market or in private transactions.
 
  In the event of changes in the outstanding Shares by reason of any increase
or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or
consolidation of Shares or the payment of a dividend in Shares, or any other
increase or decrease in the number of Shares, or merger or consolidation, or
other similar event, the Administrator shall make appropriate adjustments to
the aggregate number of Shares available under the Outside Directors Plan.
 
  On the date of each annual meeting of shareholders of ATLANTIC for the years
1997 through and including 2006, each Outside Director serving on such date
(after the election of Directors in the
 
                                      52
<PAGE>
 
meeting) will be granted an Option to purchase 1,000 Shares at an exercise
price equal to the fair market value of the Shares on such date. Also, on the
date of this Prospectus, each Outside Director serving on such date was granted
an Option to purchase 1,000 Shares at the initial public offering price.
 
  Each Option will be immediately exercisable, but must be exercised before the
earliest of the following events to occur: the date that is three months after
the date that the optionee's position as a Director terminates, the date that
is twelve months after the date the Director becomes disabled or dies or the
date that is five years after the date the Option is granted.
 
  If fifty percent or more of the outstanding Shares are acquired by a cash
tender offer or exchange offer, each optionee shall have the right to exercise
his or her Option in full or surrender his or her outstanding Option in
exchange for a cash payment from ATLANTIC in an amount equal to the excess of
the offer price or value over the Option price. If ATLANTIC dissolves, each
optionee shall have the right to exercise his or her Option in full before the
date of the dissolution.
 
  The Outside Directors Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the
Board. The provisions relating to the amount, price and timing of grants under
the Outside Directors Plan may not be amended more than once every six months,
other than to comport with changes in the Code or the rules thereunder, unless
such amendment would not affect the exemption provided by Rule 16b-3
promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
 
LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. ATLANTIC's Charter
contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law. ATLANTIC's officers and Directors are and will be
indemnified under ATLANTIC's Charter against certain liabilities. ATLANTIC's
Charter provides that ATLANTIC will, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law in effect from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any
individual who is a present or former Director or officer of ATLANTIC or (b)
any individual who, while a Director of ATLANTIC and at the request of
ATLANTIC, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer,
partner or trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise. ATLANTIC has the power, with the approval of
the Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a
person who served a predecessor of ATLANTIC in any of the capacities described
in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of ATLANTIC or its
predecessors.
 
  Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which ATLANTIC's Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or
 
                                       53
<PAGE>
 
omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation may not indemnify for
an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the corporation. Maryland
law permits ATLANTIC to advance reasonable expenses to a director or officer
upon ATLANTIC's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the Director or
officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of
conduct necessary for indemnification by ATLANTIC as authorized by ATLANTIC's
Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or on his or her behalf to repay the
amount paid or reimbursed by ATLANTIC if it shall ultimately be determined
that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
  Additionally, ATLANTIC has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its officers and Directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses and
liabilities of such officer or Director, arising out of any lawsuit or claim
against such officer or Director due to the fact that he or she was or is
serving as an officer or Director, except for such liabilities and expenses
(a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating
to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating to
judicially determined criminal violations.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), may be permitted to Directors,
officers or persons controlling ATLANTIC pursuant to the foregoing provisions,
ATLANTIC has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

  The following table sets forth certain information with respect to
ATLANTIC's developments in planning and under control at August 31, 1996. The
term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence within
12 months. The term "under control" means that ATLANTIC has an exclusive right
(through contingent contracts or letters of intent) during a contractually
agreed-upon time period to acquire land for future development of multifamily
properties, subject to removal of contingencies during the due diligence
process, but does not currently own the land. There can be no assurance that
such land will be acquired. The unit and total expected investment information
shown for these developments is based on management's best estimates of the
cost upon completion of these developments.

(1) For operating properties, represents cost, including budgeted renovations.
    For properties under construction and in planning, represents budgeted
    development cost, which includes the cost of land, fees, permits, payments
    to contractors, architectural and engineering fees and interest and
    property taxes to be capitalized during the construction period.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of such removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances also may be liable for the
 
                                      60
<PAGE>
 
costs of removal or remediation of such substances at the disposal or
treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such
person. Certain environmental laws impose liability for the release of
asbestos containing materials into the air, pursuant to which third parties
may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal
injuries associated with such materials, and prescribe specific methods for
the removal and disposal of such materials, which may result in increased
costs in connection with renovations at ATLANTIC's properties.
 
  ATLANTIC has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-
compliance, liability, or other claim in connection with any of the properties
currently owned or being acquired, and ATLANTIC is not aware of any
environmental condition with respect to any of the properties, which is likely
to be material. ATLANTIC has subjected each of its properties to a Phase I
environmental assessment (which does not involve invasive procedures such as
soil sampling or ground water analysis) by independent consultants. While some
of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of
the environmental assessments has revealed, nor is ATLANTIC aware of, any
environmental liability (including asbestos related liability) that the REIT
Manager believes would have a material adverse effect on ATLANTIC's business,
financial condition or results of operations. No assurance can be given,
however, that these assessments and investigations reveal all potential
environmental liabilities, that no prior owner or operator created any
material environmental condition not known to ATLANTIC or the independent
consultants or that future uses and conditions (including, without limitation,
resident actions or changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations)
will not result in the imposition of environmental liabilities. See "Risk
Factors--Regulatory Compliance--Possible Liability Relating to Environmental
Laws".
 
INSURANCE COVERAGE
 
  REIT Management believes that all of ATLANTIC's properties are adequately
insured; however, an uninsured loss could result in loss of capital investment
and anticipated profits. See "Risk Factors--General Real Estate Investment
Risks".

(1) For the period from October 26, 1993 (the date of ATLANTIC's inception) to
    December 31, 1993.
(2) At October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had $239 million of borrowings outstanding
    under its $350 million line of credit, and such outstanding borrowings are
    expected to be approximately $267 million at the time of closing of the
    Offering.
(3) ATLANTIC believes that funds from operations is helpful in understanding a
    property portfolio in that such calculation reflects cash flow from
    operating activities and the properties' ability to support interest
    payments and general operating expenses. For an explanation of funds from
    operations, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
    Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources".
    Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
    income or any other GAAP measurement of performance as an indicator of
    ATLANTIC's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flows from
    operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. On
    January 1, 1996, ATLANTIC adopted NAREIT's new definition of funds from
    operations. Under this new definition, loan cost amortization is not added
    back to net earnings in determining funds from operations. For
    comparability, funds from operations for the periods prior to January 1,
    1996 give effect to this new definition. The funds from operations measure
    presented by ATLANTIC may not be comparable to other similarly titled
    measures of other REITs.

        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the "Selected
Financial Information" and all of the financial statements appearing elsewhere
in this Prospectus. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth
in "Selected Financial Information", the Financial Statements of ATLANTIC, and
the Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Statements of Earnings for ATLANTIC are not
indicative of future operations of ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC's historical financial
information and historical financial statements do not give effect to the
Homestead transaction. Consequently, the discussion below includes the
Homestead Village properties owned by ATLANTIC.
 
OVERVIEW
 
  Since its inception on October 26, 1993, ATLANTIC has amassed a portfolio of
23,950 multifamily units located in the southeastern United States. ATLANTIC
acquired existing properties aggregating 16,305 units, has completed
developments aggregating 804 units and has developments under construction or
in planning and owned aggregating 6,841 units. At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC's
investment in real estate aggregated $1.03 billion. Additionally at June 30,
1996, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the development of
3,442 units. This investment in real estate has been financed through both
debt and equity. Since inception ATLANTIC has raised approximately $696
million in net equity, primarily through the private placement of Shares.
Additionally, ATLANTIC assumed approximately $129 million in long-term debt in
connection with certain of its property acquisitions. ATLANTIC's $350 million
line of credit provided the remaining investment capital.
 
  ATLANTIC's operating results depend primarily upon income from multifamily
properties, which is substantially influenced by (i) the demand for and supply
of multifamily units in ATLANTIC's primary target market and submarkets, (ii)
operating expense levels, (iii) the effectiveness of property level
operations, and (iv) the pace and price at which ATLANTIC can acquire and
develop additional multifamily properties. Capital and credit market
conditions which affect ATLANTIC's cost of capital also influence operating
results.
 
  ATLANTIC's target market cities and submarkets have benefitted substantially
in recent periods from demographic trends (including population and job
growth) which increase the demand for multifamily units. Consequently, rental
rates for multifamily units have increased more than the inflation rate for
the last two years and are expected to continue to experience such increases
throughout 1996. Expense levels also influence operating results, and rental
expenses (other than real estate taxes) as a percentage of rental revenues for
multifamily properties have generally increased at approximately the same rate
as rents for the past year and are expected to increase at a comparable rate
throughout 1996.
 
  ATLANTIC believes that development of multifamily properties from the ground
up, which are built for long-term ownership and are designed to meet broad
renter preferences and demographic trends, will provide a greater source of
long-term cash flow growth in the future. Therefore, while land prices are
favorable, ATLANTIC has acquired and will continue to acquire, on an
unleveraged basis, prudent amounts of land zoned for multifamily development.
ATLANTIC believes its ability to compete is significantly enhanced relative to
other companies because of the REIT Manager's depth of development and
acquisition personnel and presence in local markets combined with ATLANTIC's
access to investment capital.
 
  ATLANTIC's strategy is to build its asset base through the development and
acquisition of multifamily properties that will provide long-term growth in
cash flow. ATLANTIC's real estate investments have been made with a view to
effective long-term operation and ownership. Based upon ATLANTIC's market
research and in an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, ATLANTIC may
from time to time seek to dispose of assets that in management's view do not
meet ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria and redeploy the proceeds
therefrom, preferably through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that are
more consistent with ATLANTIC's investment objectives.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 INTERIM PERIOD RESULTS
 
  Net earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 were $16.4 million
($0.56 per Share) as compared to $9.1 million ($0.45 per Share) for the same
period in 1995. In the first six months of 1996, ATLANTIC had 63 operating
properties as compared to 46 operating properties in the first six months of
1995. The additional operating properties resulted in increases in rental
revenues ($16.4 million), rental expenses ($5.1 million), real estate taxes
($1.3 million), property management fees paid to an affiliate ($0.3 million),
depreciation ($2.2 million) and REIT Management fee ($1.5 million) in the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The
increase in rental expenses is attributable to the larger number of pre-
stabilized properties during the first six months of 1995, as compared to the
same period in 1996. After stabilization, consistent with ATLANTIC's
conservative accounting policies, ATLANTIC expenses all make-ready costs,
including carpet and appliance replacements.
 
  Interest expense in the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 was $8.1
million as compared to $8.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
1995. The decrease in interest expense of $0.7 million is primarily a result
of lower short-term interest rates in 1996 which offset the effect of
ATLANTIC's higher outstanding debt balances. ATLANTIC's weighted average
short-term interest rate for the first six months of 1996 was 7.44% as
compared to 8.06% in the first six months of 1995.
 
  For the 37 properties that were fully operating throughout the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, which comprise 63.5% of ATLANTIC's total
operating properties based on undepreciated cost at June 30, 1996, net
operating income (as adjusted for pre-stabilized versus stabilized accounting
differences) increased 5.29% as a result of a 3.1% rental revenue increase and
a 0.7% decrease in operating expenses for such properties for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Net
operating income (as adjusted for pre-stabilized versus stabilized accounting
differences) increased 8.76% from the second quarter 1995 to the second
quarter 1996. The accounting differences result from capitalizing certain
costs during the period after acquisition when a property is being
repositioned and is classified as pre-stabilized and expensing those costs
once repositioning is completed and the property is classified as stabilized.
 
  ATLANTIC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets
To Be Disposed Of, on January 1, 1996. As a result of adopting this new
accounting standard, ATLANTIC did not recognize any provisions for possible
losses.
 
 1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
  Net earnings in 1995 were $19.6 million ($0.89 per Share), an increase of
$9.7 million from net earnings in 1994 of $9.9 million ($0.81 per Share).
 
  PROPERTY OPERATIONS. Rental revenues for 1995 increased $48.6 million over
revenues for 1994. The increase in rental revenues from 1994 to 1995 is
attributable to (i) inclusion of a full year of operations for the 40
properties acquired in 1994; (ii) the acquisition of 15 existing properties in
1995; and (iii) the leasing of units in five of ATLANTIC's developments, two
of which were completed at December 31, 1995.
 
  Because ATLANTIC will be completing construction on its current development
portfolio and acquiring additional existing properties in its target market,
ATLANTIC anticipates increases in rental revenues in subsequent periods.
Additionally, revenues in subsequent periods will reflect a full year of
operations for the 1995 acquisitions.
 
                                      64
<PAGE>
 
  In 1995, rental expenses, property management fees paid to an affiliate and
real estate taxes increased over the 1994 levels by $12.5 million, $1.9
million and $4.0 million, respectively. These increases are attributable to
the larger number of properties in operation in 1995. On a combined basis,
rental expenses, property management fees paid to an affiliate and real estate
taxes as a percentage of rental revenues decreased to 40.0% in 1995 from 41.9%
in 1994.
 
  Including the newly acquired and developed assets, income from property
operations (which is defined as rental income plus other real estate income,
less rental expenses, real estate taxes, property management fees paid to an
affiliate and depreciation) increased $23.0 million for 1995 over 1994.
Depreciation expense increased $7.2 million for 1995 over 1994. These
increases are almost entirely related to the increased number of assets in
operation.
 
  Cash provided by operating activities was $45.2 million in 1995, an increase
of $19.0 million from the 1994 level. This increase is primarily the result of
the increased number of properties in operation in 1995 as compared to 1994.
 
  PROPERTIES FULLY OPERATING THROUGHOUT BOTH PERIODS. In building its
portfolio, ATLANTIC made significant investments in multifamily properties in
each year since its inception. Accordingly, the size of its portfolio changed
significantly from 1993 to 1994 and from 1994 to 1995. ATLANTIC's portfolio
included only three properties aggregating 683 units that were fully operating
throughout both 1995 and 1994. Property level net operating income from these
three properties increased by 10.1% in 1995 over 1994. These three properties
represent 4.3% of ATLANTIC's operating properties at December 31, 1995, based
on cost.
 
  INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for 1995 was $9.8 million higher than for
1994. ATLANTIC had no debt outstanding until the second quarter of 1994, which
resulted in higher average outstanding debt balances and higher interest
expense in 1995. Total interest capitalized amounted to $4.4 million and $0.8
million for 1995 and 1994, respectively. This increase is a function of the
higher interest expense incurred in 1995 and the increased development
activity in 1995 as compared to 1994.
 
  REIT MANAGEMENT FEE PAID TO AFFILIATE. The REIT Management fee paid by
ATLANTIC increased by $3.3 million from 1994 to 1995. Because the REIT
Management fee fluctuates with the level of ATLANTIC's cash flow calculated
before the REIT Management fee, this increase is expected and is proportionate
to the increases in other revenue and expense items experienced by ATLANTIC in
1995. As ATLANTIC arranges fully amortizing, fixed rate, long-term debt, which
it intends to arrange after achieving a substantial equity base, the REIT
Management fee will effectively decline in proportion to ATLANTIC's cash flow
because regularly scheduled principal payments or their assumed equivalent are
deducted from the cash flow amount on which the REIT Management fee is based.
Currently, principal and principal reserve account payments on long-term
mortgage debt are deducted in arriving at cash flow for purposes of
calculating the REIT Management fee, thus reducing REIT Management fee
expense.
 
 1994 COMPARED TO 1993
 
  In 1994, net earnings increased by $9.9 million over 1993; $9.9 million
($0.81 per Share) in 1994 as compared to $38,000 ($0.13 per Share) in 1993.
 
  Rental revenues were $55.1 million in 1994 as compared to $0.2 million in
1993. This increase of $54.9 million is primarily the result of the
acquisition of 40 multifamily properties during 1994. Rental revenues for 1993
are not reflective of a full year of operations since ATLANTIC was formed in
October of that year. Additionally during 1993, ATLANTIC earned revenues from
only three income producing properties acquired in December 1993. These
factors also result in increases in rental expenses, real estate taxes,
property management fee paid to an affiliate and depreciation in 1994 as
compared to 1993.
 
                                      65
<PAGE>
 
  The increased number of operating properties in operation generated more
cash in 1994 as compared to 1993. Cash provided by operating activities was
$26.2 million in 1994. In 1993, operations used $0.5 million of cash. As
discussed above, the increase in cash flow affects the calculation of the REIT
Management fee. The REIT Management fee increased by $3.7 million for 1994 as
compared to 1993.
 
  In 1994, ATLANTIC obtained its line of credit facility. Also in 1994,
ATLANTIC assumed mortgage obligations in connection with the acquisition of
certain properties. These debt obligations generated interest expense of $9.2
million in 1994. ATLANTIC had no outstanding debt and incurred no interest
expense in 1993.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  ATLANTIC is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence procedures, ATLANTIC has conducted Phase I environmental assessments
on each property prior to acquisition. The cost of complying with
environmental regulations was not material to ATLANTIC's results of
operations. ATLANTIC is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its
properties which is likely to have a material adverse effect on ATLANTIC's
financial position or results of operations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  ATLANTIC considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from
operations and financings to be adequate and expects it to continue to be
adequate to meet ATLANTIC's development, acquisition, operating, debt service
and shareholder distribution requirements.
 
 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES
 
  OVERVIEW. ATLANTIC's investment activities, which consisted primarily of
acquiring and developing multifamily properties, used approximately $136.4
million, $240.7 million, $392.7 million and $31.0 million of cash for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996, the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
and the period ended December 31, 1993, respectively.
 
  ATLANTIC's financing activities provided net cash flow of $101.8 million,
$195.6 million, $372.6 million and $31.6 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996, the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period
ended December 31, 1993, respectively. Combined proceeds from equity offerings
of $119.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, $205.8 million
in 1995, net of Share repurchases, $239.7 million in 1994, and $31.6 million
in 1993 were the primary source of financing funds. Proceeds from line of
credit borrowings, net of repayments, were $4.0 million in the six-month
period ended June 30, 1996, $37.0 million in 1995 and $153.0 million in 1994.
 
  ATLANTIC expects to finance construction, development and acquisitions
primarily with cash on hand, borrowings under its line of credit and cash from
future securities offerings. After building a substantial equity base,
ATLANTIC intends to arrange fully amortizing, fixed rate, 15 year to 25 year
debt to finance additional acquisitions and developments. ATLANTIC believes
that its current conservative ratio of long-term debt to total long-term
undepreciated book capitalization (which was 15.6% at June 30, 1996 on an
historical basis and 15.4% at June 30, 1996 on a pro forma basis as adjusted
to give effect to the Offering and application of the proceeds therefrom and
to the Homestead transaction, which are discussed below) provides considerable
flexibility to prudently increase its capital base by utilizing long-term debt
as a financing tool in the future. Long-term undepreciated book capitalization
is defined as the sum of long-term debt and shareholders' equity after adding
back accumulated depreciation. As of October 8, 1996, $239 million of
borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit (and approximately $267
million in borrowings are expected to be outstanding at the time of the
closing of the Offering).

<PAGE>
 
  1993 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. ATLANTIC's initial portfolio
investment consisted of the acquisition of three operating properties (683
units) located in Atlanta, Georgia. Additionally, ATLANTIC purchased a land
parcel in Charlotte, North Carolina for the development of a 270-unit
property.
 
  ATLANTIC's investment in real estate at December 31, 1993 aggregated $31
million, all of which was financed by the sale of Shares.
 
  1994 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. ATLANTIC's investment strategy in
1994 focused on two components: the acquisition of a substantial base of
existing operating properties to provide operating cash flow and the creation
of an internal development process. During 1994, ATLANTIC acquired 40
operating properties, 31 of which were obtained in two large portfolio
acquisitions. These 40 properties, located in 14 metropolitan areas, added
11,307 units to the portfolio for a total of 11,990 operating units. At
December 31, 1994, ATLANTIC had a total of 13,966 units in its portfolio,
1,976 of which were in development (1,212 units in construction and 764 units
in planning and owned). The five projects under development had an estimated
completion cost of $116.1 million. Additionally, at December 31, 1994,
ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the development of 1,094
units with a total budgeted cost of $69.2 million.
 
  ATLANTIC's investment in real estate at December 31, 1994 aggregated $631.3
million. The additional investment of approximately $600 million in 1994 was
financed through a combination of debt and equity. As partial payment for the
largest of the portfolio acquisitions, ATLANTIC issued $100 million in Shares
to the seller of the portfolio. Sales of Shares through a private placement
raised an additional $240 million. Existing debt of $107.5 million associated
with certain of the properties acquired was assumed by ATLANTIC. Additionally,
ATLANTIC had net borrowings on its line of credit during 1994 of $153 million.
 
  1995 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. In 1995, ATLANTIC acquired existing
properties aggregating 3,961 units and disposed of two properties aggregating
596 units. The cost of the 15 operating properties acquired in 1995 was $177.6
million. Also in 1995, ATLANTIC began development on 3,091 units. In the
fourth quarter ATLANTIC completed construction on its first two internally
developed multifamily communities, a 270-unit property in Charlotte, North
Carolina and a 198-unit property in Birmingham, Alabama. At December 31, 1995,
ATLANTIC's operating property portfolio aggregated 15,823 units. ATLANTIC's
development portfolio at the end of 1995 included 3,095 units under
construction and 1,504 units in planning and owned with an estimated cost upon
completion of $260.9 million. Three properties under construction began
leasing completed units in the fourth quarter of 1995. Additionally, at
December 31, 1995, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the
development of 3,054 units with a total budgeted cost of $140.4 million. Of
ATLANTIC's total portfolio at December 31, 1995, Homestead Village properties,
ATLANTIC's moderate priced, purpose-built, extended-stay lodging properties,
comprised 137 units under construction, 246 units in planning and owned and
2,132 units in planning and under control.
 
  During 1995, ATLANTIC's net additional investment in real estate was $257.7
million bringing its total real estate investment at December 31, 1995 to
$888.9 million. Sales of Shares generated the largest source of capital in
1995. ATLANTIC sold $205.8 million of Shares, net of Share repurchases,
through two private placements. In connection with the acquisition of certain
properties in 1995, ATLANTIC assumed $24.7 million in existing debt.
Additional borrowings on its line of credit during 1995 aggregated $37
million. At December 31, 1995, ATLANTIC's outstanding balance on its line of
credit was $190 million.
 
  FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1996 INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES. During the
first six months of 1996, ATLANTIC's additional investment in real estate
aggregated $142.3 million. This investment included the acquisition of
operating properties aggregating 1,308 units and the acquisition of land
parcels for the development of 2,578 units and progress payments on properties
under development. These additional units brought ATLANTIC's total portfolio
to 23,950 units at June 30, 1996 (17,109 operating units and 6,841 units of
developments under construction or in planning and owned). Additionally, at
June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the
development of 3,442 units. The additional investment during the first six
months of 1996 was financed primarily
 
                                      67
<PAGE>
 
through borrowings on the line of credit and additional mortgage debt. Also
during this period, ATLANTIC completed construction on a 336-unit multifamily
community in Raleigh, North Carolina, bringing its internally developed
operating units to 804. ATLANTIC began construction on 2,596 units during the
first six months of 1996.
 
  At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC had $304.2 million of budgeted development costs
for projects under construction, including $26.6 million associated with
Homestead Village properties. Of the total budgeted development cost, $142.4
million was unfunded at June 30, 1996. In addition, ATLANTIC had developments
in planning and owned at June 30, 1996 aggregating 1,486 units in various
target market cities (830 units of Homestead Village properties) with an
aggregate budgeted development cost of $73.9 million ($36.1 million associated
with Homestead Village properties). ATLANTIC's developments in planning and
under control at June 30, 1996 had a budgeted completion cost of $174.5
million, $88.9 million of which is associated with Homestead Village
properties. The foregoing developments are subject to a number of conditions,
and ATLANTIC cannot predict with certainty that any of them will be
consummated.
 
  On April 9, 1996, ATLANTIC disposed of a 358-unit, middle income property as
part of a tax-deferred exchange. This property accounted for $269,000 of net
operating income during the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. A gain of
$662,000 was recognized in the second quarter of 1996 on this disposition. The
proceeds from this disposition were held in escrow until April 22, 1996 when
these funds were used to acquire a 350-unit, moderate income property.
Including this property, ATLANTIC acquired a total of five operating
properties aggregating 1,308 units at a cost of $64.5 million in the first six
months of 1996.
 
  In the first six months of 1996, ATLANTIC sold 5,188,763 Shares at $23.00
per Share, raising $119.3 million. The sale of these Shares completed
ATLANTIC's private placement which was begun in November 1995. The private
placement raised a total of $250 million through the sale of 10,862,278 Shares
(9,612,278 Shares sold at $23.00 per Share and 1,250,000 Shares sold at
$23.136 per Share).
 
 HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
  ATLANTIC has traditionally focused on multifamily assets, which since the
first quarter of 1995 has included certain purpose-built, extended-stay
lodging properties known as Homestead Village. In March 1996 the Board began
considering ways to maximize shareholder value with respect to the Homestead
Village properties. In May 1996, ATLANTIC entered into the Merger Agreement,
as more fully described under "Homestead Transaction", whereby ATLANTIC will
contribute its Homestead Village properties to Homestead in exchange for
Homestead common stock. The Homestead transaction is expected to (i) result in
the Homestead Village properties being more effectively and profitably
utilized and developed due to the elimination of certain restrictions
applicable to REITs and (ii) enhance the ability of Homestead to access
external capital markets necessary to carry out its plans.
 
  In exchange for ATLANTIC's contribution of the Homestead Village properties
and for ATLANTIC entering into the Funding Commitment Agreement, as more fully
described under "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Funding Commitment
Agreements", ATLANTIC will receive shares of Homestead common stock,
convertible mortgage notes and warrants to purchase shares of Homestead common
stock. Following the consummation of the transaction, ATLANTIC will distribute
the Homestead common stock and warrants to its shareholders of record on the
Distribution Record Date. The mortgage notes issued by Homestead pursuant to
the Funding Commitment Agreement bear interest at 9% per annum, mature on
October 31, 2006, are not callable and are convertible into one share of
Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding,
subject to antidilution adjustments. The effective interest rate on the
convertible mortgage notes is 8.46% after giving effect to the amortization or
accretion of the mortgage note premium, the conversion privilege value and the
value of the Homestead warrants, on a fully funded basis.
 
  ATLANTIC's contribution to Homestead will consist of cash, one operating
Homestead Village property and twenty-five Homestead Village land parcels,
which are either owned or under
 
                                      68
<PAGE>
 
ATLANTIC's control. ATLANTIC's contribution, including budgeted completion
cost for the 26 properties, is approximately $158.7 million. On the Merger
Closing Date, ATLANTIC will contribute assets with an expected book value of
approximately $29 million and cash of approximately $18.6 million (subject to
adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement). The remaining cost to
complete the properties of $111.1 million will constitute the funding
commitment amount. ATLANTIC intends to fund this commitment through cash on
hand, borrowings on its line of credit and sales of Shares. See "Homestead
Transaction".
 
 LINE OF CREDIT
 
  ATLANTIC obtained a $200 million secured line of credit agented by Morgan
Guaranty Trust Company of New York in June 1994 (increased to $225 million in
September 1994). In August 1995, the line of credit was increased to $300
million, and in June 1996, the line of credit was increased to $350 million.
The line of credit is scheduled to mature in June 1998 and may be extended for
an additional year with the approval of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York and the other participating lenders. The line of credit provides for
interest at prime or, at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 1.50% or the
certificate of deposit rate plus 1.625%. ATLANTIC obtained a fixed rate of
interest of 7.46% through February 5, 1997 on $100 million of its borrowings
on the line of credit through a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs Capital
Markets, L.P. A swap agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
will take effect upon the expiration of the existing swap agreement on
February 5, 1997. This agreement provides for a fixed rate of 7.45% on $100
million of borrowings through February 5, 1998. A commitment fee of .1875% per
annum on the average unfunded line of credit balance is payable quarterly.
 
  All debt incurrences are subject to certain covenants. Primarily these
covenants address tangible net worth, interest payment coverage and
distributions. ATLANTIC must maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of
not greater than 2 to 1 and an adjusted net worth (as defined) of at least
$325 million. ATLANTIC's interest payment coverage (as defined) is required to
be not less than 2 to 1. Restricted payments or distributions (as defined) may
not exceed 95% of ATLANTIC's funds from operations (as defined) for the
preceding four quarters. The lenders have agreed to exclude the Homestead
Distribution from the restricted payments covenant and have granted ATLANTIC a
waiver of the restricted payments covenant. This waiver allows for restricted
payments not to exceed 97% of funds from operations through the third quarter
of 1997. ATLANTIC is currently in compliance with all covenants.
 
  As of October 8, 1996, $239 million of borrowings were outstanding (and $267
million of borrowings are expected to be outstanding at the time of closing of
the Offering) and multifamily properties with an undepreciated cost of
approximately $457.0 million were pledged as collateral, which allows ATLANTIC
to borrow up to $273 million on the line of credit. ATLANTIC has additional
assets which could be pledged as security on the line of credit which would
allow ATLANTIC to borrow up to $350 million.
 
 MORTGAGE DEBT
 
  At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC had approximately $129.0 million of mortgages
payable consisting of approximately $22.4 million of fixed rate conventional
mortgage debt and approximately $106.6 million of mortgages which secure nine
tax-exempt bond issues. As further discussed below, this long-term mortgage
debt, which is substantially fully amortizing, has a weighted average interest
rate of 6.76% and an average maturity of 24.1 years, thus providing ATLANTIC
with favorable and conservative financial leverage on the investment in the
properties associated with such debt. In July 1996, ATLANTIC refinanced a
$15.5 million mortgage which secures a variable rate tax-exempt bond issue
associated with one of ATLANTIC's existing operating properties. This bond
issue is included in the FNMA credit enhancement agreement.
 
  Eight of ATLANTIC's nine tax-exempt bond issues have variable interest
rates. The tax-exempt bond issues are included in a credit enhancement
agreement with FNMA. Under the agreement with FNMA, ATLANTIC makes monthly
principal payments, based upon a thirty-year amortization, into a principal
reserve account. To mitigate the variable interest rate exposure associated
with these bond
 
                                      69
<PAGE>
 
issues, ATLANTIC has entered into swap agreements. Under these swap
agreements, ATLANTIC pays and receives interest on the aggregate principal
amount of the underlying bonds outstanding, net of the amount held in the
principal reserve account. These swap agreements effectively mitigate
ATLANTIC's variable interest rate exposure by ensuring that ATLANTIC pays
interest on a fixed rate as provided in such agreements.
 
  ATLANTIC has four swap agreements: (i) an agreement expiring in June 2002 on
approximately $23.1 million of bonds that fixes the interest rate at 5.18%
(excluding the cost of the credit enhancement agreement); (ii) an agreement
expiring in June 2005 on approximately $64.6 million of bonds that fixes the
interest rate at 5.42% (excluding the cost of the credit enhancement
agreement); (iii) an agreement expiring in March 2006 on $5.0 million of bonds
that fixes the interest rate at 4.82%, (excluding the cost of the credit
enhancement agreement); and (iv) an agreement expiring in August 2006 on $15.5
million of bonds that fixes the interest rate at 5.34% (excluding the cost of
the credit enhancement agreement). To the extent the deposits in the principal
reserve account with FNMA have not been used to redeem any of the outstanding
bonds, ATLANTIC pays interest at the variable rates as provided by the
mortgage agreements on that portion of bonds outstanding which is equivalent
to the balance in the principal reserve fund.
 
 DISTRIBUTIONS AND FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
 
  ATLANTIC's current distribution policy is to pay quarterly distributions to
shareholders based upon what it considers to be a reasonable percentage of
cash flow. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow typically
will be greater than earnings from operations and net earnings. Therefore,
quarterly distributions will be higher than quarterly earnings.
 
  Distributions paid on Shares in 1995 and 1994 aggregated $35.1 million
($1.60 per Share) and $14.6 million ($1.20 per Share), respectively. No
distributions were paid in 1993. The distributions paid were in excess of net
earnings in both 1995 and 1994 resulting in decreases in shareholders' equity
of $15.5 million in 1995 and $4.7 million in 1994.
 
  On March 28, 1996, ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.42 per Share
for Shares outstanding throughout the first quarter; on June 27, 1996,
ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.42 per Share for Shares
outstanding throughout the second quarter; and on September 27, 1996, ATLANTIC
paid a quarterly distribution of $0.42 per Share to shareholders of record on
September 6, 1996. The distributions paid aggregated $11.7 million, $12.8
million and $13.8 million for the first, second and third quarters,
respectively. On September 16, 1996, in light of the Homestead transaction and
the Offering, the Board declared a fourth quarter 1996 distribution of $0.39
per Share payable on December 16, 1996 to shareholders of record on December
2, 1996.
 
  Funds from operations represents ATLANTIC's net earnings computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) plus depreciation. ATLANTIC
believes that funds from operations is helpful in understanding a property
portfolio's ability to support interest payments and general operating
expenses. On January 1, 1996, ATLANTIC adopted NAREIT's new definition of
funds from operations. Under this new definition, loan cost amortization is
not added back to net earnings in determining funds from operations. For
comparability, funds from operations for the periods prior to January 1, 1996
give effect to this new definition.
 
  Funds from operations were $25.3 million and $16.5 million for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Funds from operations were
$35.6 million, $18.7 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31,
1995 and 1994 and the period ended December 31, 1993, respectively. The
aggregate increases corresponded with the increased number of properties in
operation in each year. For a reconciliation of net earnings to funds from
operations, see "Selected Financial Information".
 
                                      70
<PAGE>
 
  Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
income or any other GAAP measurement of performance as an indicator of
ATLANTIC's operating performance nor as an alternative to cash flows from
operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Cash
flow from financing activities is expected to be substantially equivalent to
cash used in investing activities, as ATLANTIC utilizes revolving credit
borrowings, to be refunded with sales of equity and long-term, fully
amortizing debt securities, to fund its investment activities. ATLANTIC's
policy is to expense, rather than capitalize, repairs and maintenance, in
determining net income and funds from operations. Only major renovations,
replacements or improvements with a substantial expected economic life (such
as roofs, parking lots and additions) are capitalized. The funds from
operations measure presented by ATLANTIC may not be comparable to other
similarly titled measures of other REITs.
 
REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Effective October 28, 1993, ATLANTIC entered into the REIT Management
Agreement, as amended and restated, pursuant to which the REIT Manager assumed
the day-to-day management of ATLANTIC (the "REIT Management Agreement").
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires ATLANTIC to pay an annual fee of
approximately 16% of cash flow as defined in the REIT Management Agreement,
payable monthly. Cash flow is calculated by reference to ATLANTIC's cash flow
from operations, plus (i) fees paid to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary
expenses incurred at the request of the Independent Directors of ATLANTIC (of
which there were none in the periods reported) and (iii) 33% of any interest
paid by ATLANTIC on convertible subordinated debentures (of which there were
none in the periods reported); and after deducting (i) regularly scheduled
principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon payments) for debt with
commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii) assumed principal and
interest payments on senior unsecured debt treated as having regularly
scheduled principal and interest payments like a 20-year level-payment, fully
amortizing mortgage (of which there were none in the periods reported) and
(iii) distributions actually paid with respect to any non-convertible
preferred stock of ATLANTIC (of which there were none in the periods
reported). Cash flow does not include dividend and interest income from
Atlantic Development Services, interest income from the Homestead convertible
mortgage notes (after giving effect to the premium due to the issuance of the
warrants to purchase Homestead common stock and the convertibility of the
mortgage notes), realized gains or losses from dispositions of investments or
income from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also receives a fee
of 0.20% per year on the average daily balance of cash equivalent investments.
The REIT Management fee aggregated $4,704,000 for the six-month period ended
June 30, 1996 and $6,923,000, $3,671,000 and $12,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period ended December 31, 1993,
respectively.
 
  Total real estate operating, interest, general and administrative costs will
increase due to ATLANTIC's larger asset size, as well as unforeseen changes
which may occur. REIT Management fees paid by ATLANTIC will increase if cash
flow of ATLANTIC, as defined in the REIT Management Agreement, increases,
including such increases that may relate to increases in ATLANTIC's assets.
ATLANTIC does not expect its other operating costs and expenses to increase
except as a result of inflation, market conditions or other factors over which
the REIT Manager has no control. Operating costs for particular items,
however, may be increased if they are expected to result in greater decreases
in other expenses or increases in revenues from ATLANTIC assets.
 
  ATLANTIC is obligated to reimburse the REIT Manager for all expenses
incurred by the REIT Manager on behalf of ATLANTIC relating to ATLANTIC's
operations, primarily including third party legal, accounting, property
management and similar fees paid on behalf of ATLANTIC, and travel expenses
incurred in seeking financing, property acquisitions, property sales and
similar activities on behalf of ATLANTIC and in attending ATLANTIC Board,
committee and shareholder meetings. Under
 
                                      71
<PAGE>
 
the REIT Management Agreement, the REIT Manager or any of its affiliates are
not precluded from rendering services to other investors, including REITs,
even if such investors compete with ATLANTIC. Since the REIT Manager is owned
by ATLANTIC's largest shareholder, the REIT Manager has no intention of
rendering services to investors who compete with ATLANTIC.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by ATLANTIC annually, subject to
a determination by the Independent Directors that the REIT Manager's
performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the
REIT Manager is fair. Each of ATLANTIC or the REIT Manager may terminate the
REIT Management Agreement on 60 days' notice. Because of the year-to-year
nature of the agreement, its maximum effect on ATLANTIC's results of
operations cannot be predicted, other than that the REIT Management fees will
generally increase or decrease in proportion to cash flow increases or
decreases.
 
                  POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES
 
  The Board may amend or revise ATLANTIC's policies from time to time without
a vote of the shareholders of ATLANTIC. The Board also reserves the right to
make exceptions for transactions when it believes that the transaction is in
the best long-term interests of ATLANTIC and its shareholders.
 
INVESTMENT POLICIES
 
  Prospective property investments are analyzed pursuant to several
underwriting criteria, including purchase price, competition and other market
factors, and prospects for long-term growth in cash flow. ATLANTIC's
investment decision is based upon the expected contribution of the property to
long-term cash flow growth on an unleveraged basis. The expected cash flow
contribution is based on an estimate of all cash revenues from leases and
other revenue sources, minus expenses incurred in operating the property
(generally, real estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, personnel costs and
utility charges, but excluding depreciation, debt service and amortization of
loan costs) and a reserve for capital expenditures.
 
  It is ATLANTIC's policy to generally limit its investments such that (i) no
more than 10% of its assets are invested in land held for development other
than land under development or where development is in planning, (ii) ATLANTIC
will not be treated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and (iii) ATLANTIC will not invest in mortgage loans, other than
mortgage loans to third party owner-developers in connection with the
development of multifamily properties that are contractually required to be
sold to ATLANTIC upon completion or mortgage loans to Homestead or to entities
in which ATLANTIC owns a substantial majority of the economic interest and
other than mortgage loans (convertible, participating or other) where the
Board believes that such loans are in the best long-term interests of ATLANTIC
and its shareholders.
 
  ATLANTIC's strategy includes the development of industry-leading, moderate
income multifamily product designed for the largest renter groups. Long term,
ATLANTIC believes that development will contribute as much, or more, to its
earnings growth than acquisitions.
 
  While the current policy of ATLANTIC is to make equity investments in
multifamily properties exclusively, ATLANTIC may invest in other real estate
interests consistent with its qualification as a REIT. A change in this policy
could occur, for example, if ATLANTIC concludes that it may benefit from the
cash flow or any appreciation in the value of the property arising through
mortgage investment or as a means of ultimately achieving equity ownership of
a property.
 
                                      72
<PAGE>
 
  Subject to the percentage of ownership limitations and gross income tests
necessary for REIT qualification, ATLANTIC may also invest in securities of
other entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other
issuers. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of ATLANTIC".
ATLANTIC does not currently intend to invest in the securities of other
issuers except in connection with acquisitions of indirect interests in
properties (normally, general or limited partnership interests in special
purpose partnerships controlled by ATLANTIC and owning multifamily properties
and except for preferred stock of entities in which ATLANTIC has a substantial
majority of the economic interest).
 
FINANCING POLICIES
 
  ATLANTIC has a secured line of credit for the purpose of facilitating
investment in developments and acquisitions as well as for working capital.
ATLANTIC may also determine to issue securities senior to the Shares,
including preferred stock and debt securities (either of which may be
convertible into Shares or be accompanied by warrants to purchase Shares).
ATLANTIC's financing policies are to replace revolving credit borrowings with
the proceeds of equity offerings or long-term, fixed rate, fully amortizing
debt. ATLANTIC does not intend to incur long-term, floating rate debt other
than in connection with property acquisitions in which the debt assumed is
impracticable to prepay or is tax-exempt debt. Because its assets are largely
long-term, ATLANTIC's debt is expected to be long-term, fixed rate, fully
amortizing debt.
 
  The proceeds of any borrowings by ATLANTIC may be used to pay distributions,
to provide working capital, to pay existing indebtedness or to finance
acquisitions, expansions or development of new properties.
 
CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES
 
  ATLANTIC does not intend to engage in principal transactions with officers
and Directors or to engage Independent Directors to provide services to
ATLANTIC. In addition, transactions with the REIT Manager and its affiliates
are significantly restricted and must be reviewed and approved by a majority
of Independent Directors. ATLANTIC's policy is not to borrow from or make
loans to affiliates, other than mortgage loans to entities in which ATLANTIC
owns a substantial majority of the economic interest, mortgage loans to
Homestead or mortgage loans (convertible, participating or other) where the
Board believes that such loans are in the best long-term interests of ATLANTIC
and its shareholders. With a view to resolving potential conflicts of interest
and protecting the interests of ATLANTIC's shareholders against such possible
conflicts, the Charter requires that a majority of the Board be Independent
Directors.
 
POLICIES APPLICABLE TO THE REIT MANAGER AND OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF ATLANTIC
 
  The REIT Manager has agreed in writing not to engage in any principal
transaction with ATLANTIC, including but not limited to purchases, sales or
leases of property or borrowing or lending of funds, except for transactions
approved by a majority of the Independent Directors not otherwise interested
in such transaction as being fair and reasonable to ATLANTIC and on terms and
conditions not less favorable to ATLANTIC than those available from
unaffiliated third parties. The Homestead transaction would be prohibited by
the terms of the REIT Management Agreement; the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC have
waived this prohibition. In addition to the requirements described above,
ATLANTIC will not engage in such transactions unless the Independent Directors
believe that any such transaction is in the long-term best interests of
ATLANTIC and its shareholders. The sole activity of the REIT Manager is
advising ATLANTIC.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement permits affiliates of the REIT Manager to
provide property management and other services to ATLANTIC for compensation.
The fees charged for such services must be comparable to fees that would be
charged by unaffiliated, qualified third parties. Any property management fees
are reviewed annually by the Board and must be approved by a majority of the
Independent Directors.
 
                                      73
<PAGE>
 
  With certain exceptions, officers and employees of the REIT Manager spend
all of their time on ATLANTIC's affairs. In the future, certain officers or
employees may be transferred to or from other affiliates of the REIT Manager,
consistent with REIT Management's plan for management depth and orderly
succession.
 
  ATLANTIC does not intend to issue options or warrants to the REIT Manager or
its employees.
 
  Under the law of Maryland (where ATLANTIC is incorporated), each Director is
obligated to offer to ATLANTIC any opportunity (with certain limited
exceptions) which comes to him or her and which ATLANTIC could reasonably be
expected to have an interest in developing. In addition, under Maryland law, a
contract or other transaction between ATLANTIC and a Director or between
ATLANTIC and another corporation or entity in which a Director of ATLANTIC is
a director or has a material financial interest is not void or voidable solely
because of such interest or the presence of the Director at the meeting at
which the contract or transaction is approved or the Director's vote in favor
thereof, if (a) the contract or transaction is approved or ratified, after
disclosure of the common directorship or interest, by the affirmative vote of
a majority of disinterested Directors, even if the disinterested Directors
constitute less than a quorum, or by a majority of the votes cast by
disinterested stockholders, or (b) the contract or transaction is fair and
reasonable to ATLANTIC.
 
POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
 
  ATLANTIC may, but does not presently intend to, make investments other than
as previously described. All investments will be primarily related to
multifamily properties and the management and development thereof. The Board
has authority to reclassify unissued Shares into senior securities, to offer
Shares or other securities and, subject to certain restrictions, to repurchase
or otherwise reacquire Shares or any other securities and may engage in such
activities in the future. ATLANTIC's policy is not to make loans to its
officers or directors or to the REIT Manager. ATLANTIC may in the future make
loans to partnerships and joint ventures in which it participates in order to
meet working capital needs. ATLANTIC has not engaged in trading, underwriting
or agency distribution or sale of securities of other issuers and does not
intend to do so. ATLANTIC does not intend to engage in the purchase or sale of
investments (other than acquisition or disposition of properties in accordance
with the REIT rules and ATLANTIC's investment policies) and may on a selected
basis in the future offer securities in exchange for properties. ATLANTIC
intends to make annual and quarterly reports to shareholders. The annual
reports will contain audited financial statements.
 
  At all times, ATLANTIC intends to make investments in such a manner as to be
consistent with the requirements of the Code for ATLANTIC to qualify as a REIT
unless, because of changing circumstances or changes in the Code (or in
Treasury Regulations), the Board determines that it is no longer in the best
interests of ATLANTIC to qualify as a REIT.

                    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS
 
  In addition to the transactions with affiliates described elsewhere in this
Prospectus, ATLANTIC has entered into the following transactions:
 
REIT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to the REIT Management Agreement, the REIT Manager assumed the day-
to-day management of ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager is owned by SCG, which
currently beneficially owns approximately 64.1% of the outstanding Shares
(57.8%, after giving effect to the Offering). The REIT Manager's sole business
and principal occupation since its formation in October 1993 is advising
ATLANTIC. The services provided or coordinated by the REIT Manager include
strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment analysis,
acquisition and due diligence, multifamily property development, asset
management, capital markets, asset disposition, legal and accounting services.
All such services are included in the REIT Management fee, including capital
markets and development services, which most REITs capitalize (or, in the case
of capital markets, deduct from proceeds). The REIT Management fee is paid
monthly and was $6.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--REIT Management Agreement".
 
SCG INVESTOR AGREEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC and SCG are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as of October
28, 1993 (the "Investor Agreement"), which required SCG to purchase $21.5
million in Shares, subject to certain conditions. The Investor Agreement,
among other things, requires ATLANTIC to obtain SCG's approval of (i) the
annual operating budget and substantial deviations therefrom, (ii) contracts
for investment management, property management or leasing services or that
contemplate annual payments in excess of $100,000 and (iii) acquisitions or
dispositions in a single transaction or a group of related transactions where
the purchase price exceeds $5 million. The Investor Agreement also provides
that, so long as SCG owns at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, ATLANTIC may
not increase the Board to more than seven members. SCG is entitled to
designate one or more persons as Directors, and ATLANTIC is obligated to use
its best efforts to cause the election of such persons, as follows: (i) so
long as SCG owns at least 10%, but less than 20%, of the outstanding Shares,
it is entitled to nominate two persons; and (ii) so long as SCG owns at least
20% of the outstanding Shares, it is entitled to nominate three persons.
 
SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT
 
  To facilitate ATLANTIC's acquisition of certain properties from Laing, SCG
granted Laing certain rights to require SCG to purchase Laing's Shares at pre-
agreed prices. ATLANTIC assumed SCG's first put obligation for 2,500,000
Shares and on March 31, 1995 purchased such Shares from Laing at $22.00 per
Share. In exchange for ATLANTIC's assumption of the first put obligation, SCG
purchased $94.8 million of Shares at $22.00 per Share from ATLANTIC in a
private offering. In November 1995, ATLANTIC assumed SCG's second put
obligation for 1,250,000 Shares at $23.136 per Share. In exchange for
ATLANTIC's assumption of the second put obligation, SCG purchased 1,250,000
Shares at a price of $23.136 per Share and purchased an additional $21.1
million of Shares at $23.00 per Share in a private offering. SCG's purchase
under the third put obligation of 1,250,000 Shares (representing all Shares
owned by Laing) at $24.53 per Share occurred on July 1, 1996.
 
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY
 
  Commencing May 12, 1994, SCG Realty Services, an affiliate of the REIT
Manager, began providing property management services for certain of
ATLANTIC's properties. The agreement
 
                                      75
<PAGE>
 
terminates September 30, 1997, subject to earlier termination by ATLANTIC on
30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval of ATLANTIC's Independent
Directors and contemplates a fee to SCG Realty Services of 3.5% per annum of
property revenues for properties located in Atlanta and Washington, D.C.
markets and 3.75% per annum of property revenues for all other properties,
paid monthly, which was $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The
REIT Manager anticipates that SCG Realty Services will manage additional
ATLANTIC properties in the future. Any management contracts executed with SCG
Realty Services are expected to be at market rates.
 
PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC will enter into a protection of business agreement dated as of the
Merger Closing Date (the "Protection of Business Agreement") with Homestead
which will prohibit ATLANTIC and its affiliates from engaging, directly or
indirectly, in the extended-stay lodging business except through Homestead and
its subsidiaries. The Protection of Business Agreement also prohibits
Homestead from, directly or indirectly, engaging in the ownership, operation,
development, management or leasing of multifamily properties. The Protection
of Business Agreement does not prohibit ATLANTIC from: (i) owning securities
of Homestead; (ii) owning up to 5% of the outstanding securities of another
person engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-
stay lodging properties, so long as it does not actively participate in the
business of such person; (iii) owning the outstanding securities of another
person, a majority owned subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of
which is engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing
extended-stay lodging properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's
consolidated revenues are derived from such properties; and (iv) owning
securities of another person primarily engaged in a business otherthan owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging
properties,including a person primarily engaged in business as an owner,
operator or developer of hotelproperties, whether or not such person owns,
operates, develops, manages or leases extended-stay lodging properties. The
Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit Homestead from: (i) owning
securities of ATLANTIC, PTR or SCG; (ii) owning up to 5% of the outstanding
securities of another person engaged in owning, operating, developing,
managing or leasing garden style multifamily properties; and (iii) owning the
outstanding securities of another person, a majority owned subsidiary,
division, group, franchise or segment of which is engaged in owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing garden style multifamily
properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues
are derived from such properties. The Protection of Business Agreement will
terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or indirectly (other than
by purchase from ATLANTIC, PTR or SCG or any of their respective affiliates),
by any person (or group of associated persons acting in concert), other than
ATLANTIC, PTR or SCG or their respective affiliates, of 25% or more of the
outstanding voting stock of Homestead, without the prior written consent of
Homestead's board of directors. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the
preceding sentence, the Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on the
tenth anniversary of the Merger Closing Date.
 
FUNDING COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Pursuant to the applicable Funding Commitment Agreement, ATLANTIC and PTR
will agree to make mortgage loans to Homestead. ATLANTIC and PTR will provide
Homestead aggregate funding for developments in amounts of up to $111 million
and $129 million, respectively, which amounts are anticipated to be sufficient
to complete the development of the respective Homestead Village facilities
contributed by them. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive 2,818,517 and 6,363,789
warrants, respectively, each to purchase one share of Homestead common stock,
in exchange for their entering into the Funding Commitment Agreements. Each
Homestead warrant will be exercisable at $10.00 per share and expires one year
after the Distribution Record Date. Management of ATLANTIC, PTR and other
affiliates of SCG determined the exercise price of the warrants and believe
that $10 per share represents adequate consideration for a share of Homestead
common stock. The exercise price was
 
                                      76
<PAGE>
 
determined based on the overall structure of the Homestead transaction and, in
particular, considering Homestead's future capital needs and a desire to
provide liquidity to ATLANTIC's and PTR's respective shareholders with respect
to their warrants. ATLANTIC and PTR will receive convertible mortgage notes in
respect of fundings under the Funding Commitment Agreements in stated amounts
of up to $98 million and $144 million, respectively. The effect of these
provisions of the Funding Commitment Agreement is that ATLANTIC will fund
$1,133,535 for each $1,000,000 principal amount of convertible mortgage loans.
The convertible mortgage loans will be recorded for financial reporting
purposes at a premium of approximately $13 million which will be amortized and
recorded as an adjustment to interest income over the ten-year term of the
mortgage loans using the effective interest method. The relative ownership
percentages of ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG in Homestead were determined based upon
the relative value of the contributed assets assuming that all of the
properties to be contributed have been developed and are fully operating.
ATLANTIC and PTR have agreed to fund convertible mortgages to provide for the
development of the Homestead Village properties and to achieve their
respective ownership allocations. The funded amounts of ATLANTIC and PTR under
the convertible mortgages therefore are in amounts that are anticipated,
pursuant to currently existing development budgets, to be sufficient to
complete the development of the respective Homestead Village properties being
contributed by them. The differences between the funded amounts and the stated
amounts of the convertible mortgage loans arise because the rate of return on
the existing Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR is projected to
exceed the rate of return on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by
ATLANTIC and PTR to Homestead which are under construction or in pre-
development planning. This expected difference in the rates of return arises
because, as of July 1, 1996, PTR was expected to have 28 Homestead Village
facilities in operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC was expected to
have none and the average property development costs for the existing PTR
Homestead Village properties, on balance, were expected to be less than those
for the ATLANTIC and PTR Homestead Village properties projected to be built in
the future because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead Village
properties were in planning or under development during 1992 and 1993 when
land prices and construction costs were less than they are now and are
anticipated to be over the next 18 months. Because of the foregoing factors,
and as a result of Homestead's desire to issue a single class of convertible
mortgage notes bearing a 9% per annum interest rate, the stated amounts of the
convertible mortgage notes were adjusted to provide an effective yield (after
giving effect to the premium due to the issuance of the Homestead warrants and
the convertibility of the mortgage notes--see footnote (j) to the Homestead
Village Incorporated Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in the
Homestead Prospectus attached hereto) to each of ATLANTIC (8.46% on a fully
funded basis) and PTR (12.42%) on a fully funded basis) that is reflective of
the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on all of the
facilities contributed by ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively. The obligations of
ATLANTIC and PTR are limited to a specific dollar amount for each property
identified in the respective Funding Commitment Agreements. Upon any
determination by Homestead to commence development of a property identified in
the Funding Commitment Agreement, Homestead is required to notify ATLANTIC or
PTR, as the case may be, and ATLANTIC or PTR, as the case may be, is required
to fund up to the full amount of its obligation with respect to such property.
Homestead is required to endeavor in good faith to complete the development of
such property consistent with the development plans for such property. Each
mortgage note issued by Homestead pursuant to a Funding Commitment Agreement
will be convertible into shares of Homestead common stock on the basis of one
share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of principal outstanding on
the mortgage loan. The obligation of Homestead to call for funding of, and the
obligations of ATLANTIC and PTR to provide funding for, the mortgage loans
expire on March 31, 1998, except with respect to properties for which
Homestead has given notice that it intends to develop. Interest on the
mortgage notes accrues at the rate of 9% per annum on the unpaid principal
balance, payable every six months. The mortgage notes are scheduled to mature
on October 31, 2006, and are not callable until five years after the Merger
Closing Date. Homestead has pledged the assets being contributed by ATLANTIC
as collateral for the mortgage loans being made by ATLANTIC, and it has
pledged the assets being contributed by PTR as collateral for the mortgage
loans being made by PTR.

HOMESTEAD INVESTOR AGREEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC will enter into an investor and registration rights agreement with
Homestead pursuant to which ATLANTIC is entitled to designate one person for
nomination to the Homestead board of directors, and Homestead will use its
best efforts to cause the election of such nominee, until March 31, 1998 and
for so long thereafter as ATLANTIC has the right to convert in excess of $20
million in principal amount of loans made pursuant to its Funding Commitment
Agreement. Such nominee may, but need not, include the same person(s)
nominated by SCG pursuant to SCG's investor agreement with Homestead. In
addition, Homestead has granted to ATLANTIC registration rights with respect
to the distribution of all of the shares of Homestead common stock issuable
upon conversion of the convertible mortgage notes. Prior to the one-year
anniversary of the date the Homestead common stock is registered under the
Exchange Act, ATLANTIC may request one registration of those shares of
Homestead common stock which are issued upon conversion of any or all of the
convertible mortgage notes during such one year period and which it intends to
distribute to its stockholders. After such one-year anniversary, ATLANTIC may
request three additional registrations pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under
the Securities Act of all shares of Homestead common stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of the convertible mortgage notes. Such registration, except
for the fees and disbursements of counsel to ATLANTIC, shall be at the expense
of Homestead.
 
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
 
  ATLANTIC and Hanover Realty Services Inc. ("Hanover") are parties to several
development agreements, in connection with the acquisition and development of
six properties located in North Carolina. In consideration for Hanover's
development of these properties the development agreements provide that
ATLANTIC will make certain earnout payments to Hanover either in the form of
cash, ATLANTIC Shares or shares of SCG's common stock, as determined in the
sole discretion of Hanover. The amount of such payments shall be determined on
a per site basis and shall be a percentage of the amount by which annualized
net operating income exceeds the total actual project costs. The aggregate
amount of such earnout amounts for all six properties, however, cannot exceed
$6,600,000. Hanover is not currently entitled to receive any earnout payments.
 
OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
  In ATLANTIC's March through June 1995 private offering, SCG purchased $94.8
million of Shares at $22.00 per Share. In ATLANTIC's December 1995 through May
1996 private offering, SCG purchased an aggregate of $50 million of Shares,
$21.1 million of which were purchased at $23.00 per Share (which was the price

(1) These Shares are owned of record by SC Realty Incorporated, a wholly owned
    subsidiary of SCG, and are pledged to secure SCG's $300 million revolving
    line of credit facility with a syndicate of banks. As of October 8, 1996,

    The line of credit is also secured by securities owned by SCG of PTR, SCI
    and Security Capital U.S. Realty, an entity based in Luxembourg which
    invests in real estate operating companies in the United States. SCG
    estimates that the aggregate market value of the pledged securities
    exceeded $2.0 billion as of October 8, 1996. SCG was in compliance with
    all covenants under the line of credit at June 30, 1996. The 21,129,004
    Shares do not include 416,666 Shares which will be sold by ATLANTIC to SCG
    in the Offering at the initial public offering price. See "Underwriting".

    owned by SCG, because Mr. Sanders, as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
    of SCG, shares voting and dispositive power with respect to all Shares
    owned by SCG. SCG and Mr. Sanders, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief
    Executive Officer of SCG, intend to play a major role in the direction of
    ATLANTIC for the purpose of maximizing the value of ATLANTIC.

                             DESCRIPTION OF STOCK
 
  The following summary of the terms of the stock of ATLANTIC does not purport
to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to
ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to
the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
 
GENERAL
 
  The authorized stock of ATLANTIC consists of 250,000,000 Shares. The Board
may classify or reclassify any unissued Shares from time to time by setting or
changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions,
qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption. No holder of any class
of stock of ATLANTIC will have any preemptive right to subscribe to any
securities of ATLANTIC except as may be granted by the Board pursuant to an
agreement between ATLANTIC and a shareholder. Under Maryland law, shareholders
are generally not liable for ATLANTIC's debts or obligations. For a
description of certain provisions that could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control, see "Risk Factors--Limitations on
Acquisition of Shares and Change in Control", "Certain Relationships and
Transactions--SCG Investor Agreement" and "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law
and of ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws".
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Shares is The First National Bank
of Boston, 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
 
COMMON STOCK
 
  The outstanding Shares are fully paid and nonassessable. Each Share entitles
the holder to one vote on all matters requiring a vote of shareholders,
including the election of Directors. Shareholders do not have the right to
cumulate their votes in the election of Directors, which means that the
holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares can elect all of the Directors
then standing for election. Shareholders are entitled to such distributions as
may be authorized from time to time by the Directors out of assets legally
available therefor. ATLANTIC's current distribution policy is to pay quarterly
distributions to shareholders based on a reasonable percentage of funds from
operations. Prior to the Offering, ATLANTIC has paid consecutive distributions
of $0.42 per Share for the first three quarters of 1996, $0.40 per Share for
1995 quarters and $0.30 per Share for 1994 quarters. ATLANTIC paid no
distributions in 1993. On September 16, 1996, in light of the Homestead
transaction and the Offering, the Board declared a fourth quarter 1996
distribution of $0.39 per Share payable on December 16, 1996 to shareholders
of record on December 2, 1996. See "Distributions".
 
  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of
ATLANTIC, holders of Shares will be entitled, subject to the preferential
rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, to share ratably in the assets
of ATLANTIC remaining after provision for payment of liabilities to creditors.
 
  Subject to the provisions of the Charter regarding the restriction on
transfers of Shares, all Shares have equal distribution, liquidation and other
rights, and shall have no preference, preemptive, conversion or exchange
rights.
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Board is empowered by the Charter, without the approval of shareholders,
to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of ATLANTIC's stock from time to
time. Prior to the issuance of any such stock, the Board is required to set,
subject to the provisions of the Charter regarding the restriction on
transfers of stock, the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting
powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions,
qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for such stock. The
issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a
change in control of ATLANTIC and may adversely affect the voting and other
rights of shareholders. Upon completion of the Offering, no shares of
preferred stock will be outstanding and
 
                                      80
<PAGE>
 
ATLANTIC has no present plans to issue any preferred stock following
completion of the Offering other than as contemplated by the Rights Agreement
(as defined below).
 
PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
  On March 12, 1996, the Board declared a dividend of one Purchase Right for
each Share outstanding at the close of business on March 12, 1996 (the "Rights
Record Date") to the holders of Shares of record as of the Rights Record Date.
The dividend was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional
Shares issued after the Rights Record Date and before the redemption or
expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one Purchase Right
for each such additional Share. Each Purchase Right entitles the registered
holder under certain circumstances to purchase from ATLANTIC two one-
hundredths of a Participating Preferred Share of ATLANTIC at a price of $40
per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Purchase
Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 1996
between ATLANTIC and The First National Bank of Boston, as rights agent (the
"Rights Agreement").
 
  The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earliest to occur of: (1) 10 business days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (excluding SCG) has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or
more of the outstanding Shares (thereby becoming an "Acquiring Person"), (2)
15 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the
Board prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes
an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which
would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons
(excluding SCG) of 25% or more of the outstanding Shares or (3) 10 business
days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board prior to
such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an Acquiring
Person) after the date of filing by any person of, or the first public
announcement of the intention of any person to file, any application, request,
submission or other document with any federal or state regulatory authority
seeking approval of, attempting to rebut any presumption of control upon, or
otherwise indicating an intention to enter into, any transaction or series of
transactions the consummation of which would result in any person (other than
SCG) becoming the beneficial owner of 25% or more of the outstanding Shares,
other than a transaction in which newly issued Shares are issued directly by
ATLANTIC to such person (the first to occur of such dates being called the
"Rights Distribution Date"). With respect to any of the Share certificates
outstanding as of the Rights Record Date, until the Rights Distribution Date,
the Purchase Rights will be evidenced by such Share certificate. Until the
Rights Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or expiration of the Purchase
Rights), new Share certificates issued after the Rights Record Date upon
transfer or new issuance of Shares will contain a notation incorporating the
Rights Agreement by reference. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board in
good faith determines that a person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person
under the Rights Agreement has become such inadvertently, and such person
divests as promptly as practicable a sufficient number of Shares so that such
person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then such person shall not be
deemed to be an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement.
 
  The Purchase Rights will expire on March 12, 2006 (the "Final Expiration
Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are
earlier redeemed or exchanged by ATLANTIC, in each case as described below.
 
  The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Participating Preferred Shares
or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Purchase Rights
are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances from time to time to
prevent dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price
will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at
least 1% in such Purchase Price.
 
  Participating Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Purchase
Rights will not be redeemable. Each Participating Preferred Share will be
entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly
 
                                      81
<PAGE>
 
distribution payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate
distribution of 50 times the distribution declared per Share. Each
Participating Preferred Share will have 50 votes, voting together with the
Shares. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Participating
Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation
payment of $1 per share, plus an amount equal to all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon, but will be entitled to an aggregate payment of 50 times
the payment made per Share. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which Shares are exchanged, each Participating Preferred Share
will be entitled to receive 50 times the amount received per Share. In the
event of issuance of Participating Preferred Shares upon exercise of the
Purchase Rights, in order to facilitate trading, a depositary receipt may be
issued for each one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share. The
Participating Preferred Shares will be protected by customary antidilution
provisions.
 
  In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of Shares having a market value
(determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase
Price. In lieu of the issuance of Shares upon exercise of Purchase Rights, the
Board may under certain circumstances, and if there is an insufficient number
of Shares authorized but unissued to permit the exercise in full of the
Purchase Rights, the Board is required to, take such action as may be
necessary to cause ATLANTIC to issue or pay upon the exercise of Purchase
Rights, cash (including by way of a reduction of purchase price), property,
other securities or any combination of the foregoing having an aggregate value
equal to that of the Shares which otherwise would have been issuable upon
exercise of Purchase Rights.
 
  In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
ATLANTIC is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or
50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper
provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right will thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current
Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price.
 
  At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior
to the acquisition by that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding
Shares, the Board may exchange the Purchase Rights (other than Purchase Rights
owned by that person or group which will have become void), in whole or in
part, at an exchange ratio of one Share (or one one-hundredth of a
Participating Preferred Share) per Purchase Right (subject to adjustment).
 
  As soon as practicable after a Rights Distribution Date, ATLANTIC is
obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to the securities issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable.
 
  At any time prior to the time a person or group of persons becomes an
Acquiring Person, the Board may redeem the Purchase Rights in whole, but not
in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right (the "Redemption Price")
payable in cash, Shares or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate
by the Board. The redemption of the Purchase Rights may be made effective at
such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the Board in its sole
discretion may establish. Immediately upon the effectiveness of any redemption
of the Purchase Rights, the right to exercise the Purchase Rights will
terminate and the only right of the holders of Purchase Rights will be to
receive the Redemption Price.
 
  The terms of the Purchase Rights may be amended by the Board without the
consent of the holders of the Purchase Rights, except that from and after the
time any person or group of affiliated or
 
                                      82
<PAGE>
 
associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely
affect the interests of the holders of the Purchase Rights.
 
  The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Purchase Rights
will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
ATLANTIC on terms not approved by its Board, except pursuant to an offer
conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired. The
Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business
combination approved by the Board since the Purchase Rights may be redeemed by
ATLANTIC at the Redemption Price prior to the time that a person or group has
acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the Shares. The form of Rights
Agreement specifying the terms of the Purchase Rights has been incorporated by
reference into the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the
Purchase Rights does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is
qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement, including the
definitions therein of certain terms.
 
RESTRICTION ON SIZE OF HOLDINGS OF SHARES
 
  ATLANTIC's Charter contains certain restrictions on the number of shares of
ATLANTIC's stock that individual shareholders may own. For ATLANTIC to qualify
as a REIT under the Code, no more than 50% in value of the shares of
ATLANTIC's stock (after taking into account options to acquire shares) may be
owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the
Code to include certain entities and constructive ownership among specified
family members) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first
taxable year) or during a proportionate part of a short taxable year. The
shares of ATLANTIC's stock must also be beneficially owned (other than during
the first taxable year) by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a
taxable year or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Because
ATLANTIC is a REIT, its Charter contains restrictions on the acquisition of
shares of ATLANTIC's stock intended to ensure compliance with these
requirements.
 
  Subject to certain exceptions specified in ATLANTIC's Charter, no holder may
own, or be deemed to own by virtue of the attribution provisions of the Code,
more than 9.8% (the "Ownership Limit") of the number or value of the issued
and outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock. The Board, upon receipt of a
ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") or an opinion of counsel
or other evidence satisfactory to the Board and upon such other conditions as
the Board may direct, may also exempt a proposed transferee from the Ownership
Limit. The proposed transferee must give written notice to ATLANTIC of the
proposed transfer no later than the fifteenth day prior to any transfer which,
if consummated, would result in the intended transferee owning shares of
ATLANTIC's stock in excess of the Ownership Limit. The Board may require such
opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem
necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure ATLANTIC's status as a
REIT. Any transfer of shares of ATLANTIC's stock that would (i) create a
direct or indirect ownership of shares of ATLANTIC's stock in excess of the
Ownership Limit, (ii) result in the shares of ATLANTIC's stock being
beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to
any rules of attribution) as provided in Section 856(a) of the Code or (iii)
result in ATLANTIC being "closely held" within the meaning of Section 856(h)
of the Code, shall be null and void ab initio, and the intended transferee
will acquire no rights to the shares of ATLANTIC's stock. The foregoing
restrictions on transferability and ownership will not apply if the Board
determines, which determination must be approved by the shareholders, that it
is no longer in the best interests of ATLANTIC to attempt to qualify, or to
continue to qualify, as a REIT. ATLANTIC's Charter excludes SCG (and its
transferees) from the foregoing ownership restriction.
 
  Any shares the purported transfer of which would result in a person owning
shares of ATLANTIC's stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or cause ATLANTIC
to become "closely held" under Section 856(h) of the Code that is not
otherwise permitted as provided above will constitute excess shares
 
                                      83
<PAGE>
 
("Excess Shares"), which will be transferred pursuant to ATLANTIC's Charter to
a party not affiliated with ATLANTIC designated by ATLANTIC as the trustee of
a trust for the exclusive benefit of an organization or organizations
described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A) and 170(c) of the Code and identified by
the Board as the beneficiary or beneficiaries of the trust (the "Charitable
Beneficiary"), until such time as the Excess Shares are transferred to a
person whose ownership will not violate the restrictions on ownership. While
these Excess Shares are held in trust, distributions on such Excess Shares
will be paid to the trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary and
may only be voted by the trustee for the benefit of the Charitable
Beneficiary. Subject to the Ownership Limit, the Excess Shares shall be
transferred by the trustee at the direction of ATLANTIC to any person (if the
Excess Shares would not be Excess Shares in the hands of such person). The
purported transferee will receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the
purported transferee for the Excess Shares (or, if no consideration was paid,
fair market value on the day of the event causing the Excess Shares to be held
in trust) and (ii) the price received from the sale or other disposition of
the Excess Shares held in trust. Any proceeds in excess of the amount payable
to the purported transferee will be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. In
addition, such Excess Shares held in trust are subject to purchase by ATLANTIC
for a 90 day period at a purchase price equal to the lesser of (i) the price
paid for the Excess Shares by the purported transferee (or, if no
consideration was paid, fair market value at the time of the event causing the
shares to be held in trust) and (ii) the fair market value of the Excess
Shares on the date ATLANTIC elects to purchase. Fair market value, for these
purposes, means the last reported sales price reported on the NYSE on the
trading day immediately preceding the relevant date, or if not then traded on
the NYSE, the last reported sales price on the trading day immediately
preceding the relevant date as reported on any exchange or quotation system
over or through which the relevant class of shares of stock may be traded, or
if not then traded over or through any exchange or quotation system, then the
market price on the relevant date as determined in good faith by the Board.
 
  From and after the purported transfer to the purported transferee of the
Excess Shares, the purported transferee shall cease to be entitled to
distributions (other than liquidating distributions), voting rights and other
benefits with respect to the Excess Shares except the right to payment on the
transfer of the Excess Shares as described above. Any distribution paid to a
purported transferee on Excess Shares prior to the discovery by ATLANTIC that
such Excess Shares have been transferred in violation of the provisions of the
Charter shall be repaid, upon demand, to ATLANTIC, which shall pay any such
amounts to the trust for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. If the
foregoing transfer restrictions are determined to be void, invalid or
unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the purported
transferee of any Excess Shares may be deemed, at the option of ATLANTIC, to
have acted as an agent on behalf of ATLANTIC in acquiring such Excess Shares
and to hold such Excess Shares on behalf of ATLANTIC.
 
  All certificates representing Shares will bear a legend referring to the
restrictions described above.
 
  All persons who own, directly or by virtue of the attribution provisions of
the Code, more than 5% (or such other percentage between 1/2 of 1% and 5%, as
provided in the rules and regulations promulgated under the Code) of the
number or value of the outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock must give a
written notice containing certain information to ATLANTIC by January 31 of
each year. In addition, each shareholder shall upon demand be required to
disclose to ATLANTIC in writing such information with respect to the direct,
indirect and constructive ownership of Shares as the Board deems reasonably
necessary to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a REIT, to
determine ATLANTIC's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any
taxing authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.
 
  These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover
or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the Shares
might receive a premium for their Shares over the then prevailing market price
or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest.

             CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF ATLANTIC'S
                              CHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
  The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and
ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and
is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and
ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to
the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.
 
CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD
 
  ATLANTIC's Charter provides that the number of Directors may be increased or
decreased from time to time by the vote of a majority of the Board but may not
be less than three. Pursuant to ATLANTIC's Charter, the Directors are divided
into three classes. One class will hold office initially for a term expiring
at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1997, another class will
hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders to be held in 1998 and another class will hold office initially
for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999.
As the term of each class expires, Directors in that class will be elected for
a term of three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualify.
ATLANTIC believes that classification of the Board will help to assure the
continuity and stability of ATLANTIC's business strategies and policies as
determined by the Board.
 
  The classified Director provision could have the effect of making the
removal of incumbent Directors more time-consuming and difficult, which could
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of ATLANTIC, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to
ATLANTIC and its shareholders. At least two annual meetings of shareholders,
instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of
the Board. Thus, the classified board provision could increase the likelihood
that incumbent Directors will retain their positions.
 
DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. ATLANTIC's Charter
contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law.
 
  ATLANTIC's officers and Directors are and will be indemnified under
ATLANTIC's Charter against certain liabilities. ATLANTIC's Charter provides
that ATLANTIC will, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect
from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in
advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a
present or former Director or officer of ATLANTIC or (b) any individual who,
while a Director of ATLANTIC and at the request of ATLANTIC, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or
trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise. ATLANTIC has the power, with the approval of
the Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a
person who served a predecessor of ATLANTIC in any of the capacities described
in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of ATLANTIC or its
predecessors.
 
  Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which ATLANTIC's Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable
 
                                      85
<PAGE>
 
expenses actually incurred by them in connection with any proceeding to which
they may be made a party by reason of their service in those or other
capacities unless it is established that (a) the act or omission of the
director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding
and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer actually received an
improper personal benefit in money, property or services or (c) in the case of
any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to
believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a Maryland corporation
may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or in the right of the
corporation. Maryland law permits ATLANTIC to advance reasonable expenses to a
director or officer upon ATLANTIC's receipt of (a) a written affirmation by
the Director or officer of his or her good faith belief that he or she has met
the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by ATLANTIC as
authorized by ATLANTIC's Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or on his or
her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by ATLANTIC if it shall
ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
  Additionally, ATLANTIC has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its officers and Directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses and
liabilities of such officer or Director, arising out of any lawsuit or claim
against such officer or Director due to the fact that he or she was or is
serving as an officer or Director, except for such liabilities and expenses
(a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating
to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating to
judicially determined criminal violations.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to Directors, officers or persons controlling ATLANTIC
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, ATLANTIC has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  Under Maryland law, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
of such an Interested Stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most
recent date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested
Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by
the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative
vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of
outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (b) two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation
other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder with whom (or with whose
affiliate) the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
things, the corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined
under Maryland law) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash
or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its
shares. These provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business
combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the
corporation prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an
Interested Stockholder. The Board has exempted from these provisions of
Maryland law any business combination with SCG and its affiliates and
successors. As a result, SCG and its affiliates and successors may be able to
enter into business combinations with ATLANTIC that may not be in the best
interests of ATLANTIC's shareholders without compliance by ATLANTIC with the
super-majority vote requirements and other provisions of the statute.

CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
  Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation
acquired in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by
virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting
power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting
power: (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more
but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority of all voting power. Control
Shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as
a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A "Control Share
acquisition" means the acquisition of Control Shares, subject to certain
exceptions.
 
  A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.
If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the
question at any stockholders meeting.
 
  If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may
redeem any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights
have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to
the absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the
last Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the
voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights
for Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror
becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.
 
  The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.
 
  ATLANTIC's Bylaws contain a provision exempting any and all acquisitions by
SCG and its affiliates and successors from the provisions of the Control Share
acquisition statute.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE OF DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND NEW BUSINESS
 
  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of shareholders by a stockholder, ATLANTIC's Bylaws require such
shareholder to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified
circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to
each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a Director, all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of
directors, pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) as to any
other business that the shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting,
the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material
interest in such business of such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if
any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder
giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the
nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such shareholder
as they appear on ATLANTIC's books, and of such beneficial owner and (y) the
number of Shares which are owned beneficially and of record by such
shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any.

                       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  As of October 8, 1996, ATLANTIC had 32,951,580 Shares issued and outstanding
which were held of record by 325 shareholders. Upon completion of the
Offering, ATLANTIC will have 37,304,580 Shares issued and outstanding or
reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding Options. ATLANTIC has
reserved an additional 97,000 Shares for future issuance upon exercise of
Options under the Outside Directors Plan. See "REIT Management--Outside
Directors Plan". All of the 4,350,000 Shares to be issued or sold by ATLANTIC
in the Offering, other than the 416,666 Shares to be purchased by SCG and any
other Shares purchased by affiliates, will be tradeable without restriction
under the Securities Act. The Shares currently issued and outstanding or
reserved for issuance upon exercise of options will be eligible for sale in
the future, subject to the volume resale, manner of sale and notice
limitations of Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
 
  In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose Shares are aggregated
in accordance with the Rule) who has beneficially owned his or her Shares for
at least two years, including any such persons who may be deemed "affiliates"
of ATLANTIC (as defined in the Securities Act), would be entitled to sell
within any three-month period a number of Shares that does not exceed the
greater of 1% of the then outstanding number of Shares or the average weekly
trading volume of the Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding each
such sale. After Shares are held for three years, a person who is not deemed
an "affiliate" of ATLANTIC is entitled to sell such Shares under Rule 144
without regard to the volume limitations described above. Sales of Shares by
affiliates will continue to be subject to the volume limitations. As defined
in Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or
indirectly, through the use of one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such issuer.
 
  ATLANTIC has granted SCG, which beneficially owns 21,129,004 Shares (and
will beneficially own 21,545,670 Shares after the Offering), the right to
demand, at any time after the Shares are registered under the Exchange Act,
registration of all or any part of the Shares owned by SCG pursuant to Rule
415 of the Securities Act. In addition, ATLANTIC has agreed to file a
registration statement (within one year of the consummation of the Offering)
pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act for up to $50 million of Shares on
behalf of certain investors who purchased Shares in ATLANTIC's most recent
private offering. The persons entitled to register their securities are
responsible for all costs and expenses (other than ATLANTIC's legal, audit and
certain accounting fees) incident to any registration of the type discussed in
this paragraph.
 
  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
Shares or the availability of Shares for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares
(including Shares issued upon the exercise of options), or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of
the Shares.
 
  For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of Shares by ATLANTIC
(and certain of its Directors and officers) and by SCG, see "Underwriting".
 
                       FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
  ATLANTIC intends to operate in a manner that permits it to satisfy the
requirements for taxation as a REIT under the applicable provisions of the
Code. No assurance can be given, however, that such requirements will be met.
The following is a description of the federal income tax consequences to
ATLANTIC and its shareholders of the treatment of ATLANTIC as a REIT. Since
these provisions are highly technical and complex, each prospective purchaser
of ATLANTIC's Shares is urged to consult his or her own tax advisor with
respect to the federal, state, local, foreign and other tax consequences of
the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Shares.
 
                                      88
<PAGE>
 
  Based upon certain representations of ATLANTIC with respect to the facts as
set forth and explained in the discussion below, in the opinion of Mayer,
Brown & Platt, counsel to ATLANTIC, ATLANTIC has been organized in conformity
with the requirements for qualification as a REIT beginning with its taxable
year ended December 31, 1994, and its proposed method of operation described
in this Prospectus and as represented by management will enable it to satisfy
the requirements for such qualification.
 
  This opinion is conditioned upon certain representations made by ATLANTIC as
to certain factual matters relating to ATLANTIC's organization and intended or
expected manner of operation. In addition, this opinion is based on the law
existing and in effect on the date hereof. ATLANTIC's qualification and
taxation as a REIT will depend upon ATLANTIC's ability to meet on a continuing
basis, through actual operating results, asset composition, distribution
levels and diversity of stock ownership, the various qualification tests
imposed under the Code discussed below. Mayer, Brown & Platt will not review
compliance with these tests on a continuing basis. No assurance can be given
that ATLANTIC will satisfy such tests on a continuing basis.
 
  In brief, if certain detailed conditions imposed by the REIT provisions of
the Code are met, entities, such as ATLANTIC, that invest primarily in real
estate and that otherwise would be treated for federal income tax purposes as
corporations, are generally not taxed at the corporate level on their "REIT
taxable income" that is currently distributed to shareholders. This treatment
substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (at both the corporate and
shareholder levels) that generally results from the use of corporations.
 
  If ATLANTIC fails to qualify as a REIT in any year, however, it will be
subject to federal income taxation as if it were a domestic corporation, and
its shareholders will be taxed in the same manner as shareholders of ordinary
corporations. In this event, ATLANTIC could be subject to potentially
significant tax liabilities, and therefore the amount of cash available for
distribution to its shareholders would be reduced or eliminated.
 
  ATLANTIC elected REIT status effective for the taxable year ended December
31, 1994 and the Board currently intends that ATLANTIC will operate in a
manner that permits it to qualify as a REIT in each taxable year thereafter.
There can be no assurance, however, that this expectation will be fulfilled,
since qualification as a REIT depends on ATLANTIC continuing to satisfy
numerous asset, income and distribution tests described below, which in turn
will be dependent in part on ATLANTIC's operating results.
 
  The following summary is based on existing law, is not exhaustive of all
possible tax considerations and does not give a detailed discussion of any
state, local or foreign tax considerations, nor does it discuss all of the
aspects of federal income taxation that may be relevant to a prospective
shareholder in light of his or her particular circumstances or to certain
types of shareholders (including insurance companies, tax-exempt entities,
financial institutions or broker-dealers, foreign corporations and persons who
are not citizens or residents of the United States) subject to special
treatment under the federal income tax laws.
 
TAXATION OF ATLANTIC
 
 GENERAL
 
  In any year in which ATLANTIC qualifies as a REIT, in general it will not be
subject to federal income tax on that portion of its REIT taxable income or
capital gain which is distributed to shareholders. ATLANTIC may, however, be
subject to tax at normal corporate rates upon any taxable income or capital
gain not distributed.
 
                                      89
<PAGE>
 
  Notwithstanding its qualification as a REIT, ATLANTIC may also be subject to
taxation in certain other circumstances. If ATLANTIC should fail to satisfy
either the 75% or the 95% gross income test (as discussed below), and
nonetheless maintains its qualification as a REIT because certain other
requirements are met, it will be subject to a 100% tax on the greater of the
amount by which ATLANTIC fails to satisfy either the 75% test or the 95% test,
multiplied by a fraction intended to reflect ATLANTIC's profitability.
ATLANTIC will also be subject to a tax of 100% on net income from any
"prohibited transaction", as described below, and if ATLANTIC has (i) net
income from the sale or other disposition of "foreclosure property" which is
held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or
(ii) other non-qualifying income from foreclosure property, it will be subject
to tax on such income from foreclosure property at the highest corporate rate.
In addition, if ATLANTIC should fail to distribute during each calendar year
at least the sum of (i) 85% of its REIT ordinary income for such year, (ii)
95% of its REIT capital gain net income for such year, and (iii) any
undistributed taxable income from prior years, ATLANTIC would be subject to a
4% excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the amounts
actually distributed. ATLANTIC may also be subject to the corporate
"alternative minimum tax", as well as tax in certain situations and on certain
transactions not presently contemplated. ATLANTIC will use the calendar year
both for federal income tax purposes and for financial reporting purposes.
 
  In order to qualify as a REIT, ATLANTIC must meet, among others, the
following requirements:
 
 SHARE OWNERSHIP TEST
 
  ATLANTIC's shares of stock must be held by a minimum of 100 persons for at
least 335 days in each taxable year (or a proportional number of days in any
short taxable year). In addition, at all times during the second half of each
taxable year, no more than 50% in value of the stock of ATLANTIC may be owned,
directly or indirectly and by applying certain constructive ownership rules,
by five or fewer individuals (the "50% test"), which for this purpose includes
certain tax-exempt entities. Any stock held by a qualified domestic pension or
other retirement trust will be treated as held directly by its beneficiaries
in proportion to their actuarial interest in such trust rather than by such
trust. Pursuant to the constructive ownership rules, SCG's ownership of Shares
is attributed to its shareholders for purposes of the 50% test.
 
  In order to ensure compliance with the 50% test, ATLANTIC has placed certain
restrictions on the transfer of the shares of its stock to prevent additional
concentration of ownership. Moreover, to evidence compliance with these
requirements under United States Treasury Department ("Treasury") regulations,
ATLANTIC must maintain records which disclose the actual ownership of its
outstanding shares of stock. In fulfilling its obligations to maintain
records, ATLANTIC must and will demand written statements each year from the
record holders of designated percentages of shares of its stock disclosing the
actual owners of such shares (as prescribed by Treasury regulations). A list
of those persons failing or refusing to comply with such demand must be
maintained as a part of ATLANTIC's records. A shareholder failing or refusing
to comply with ATLANTIC's written demand must submit with his or her tax
returns a similar statement disclosing the actual ownership of shares of
ATLANTIC's stock and certain other information. In addition, ATLANTIC's
Charter provide restrictions regarding the transfer of shares of its stock
that are intended to assist ATLANTIC in continuing to satisfy the share
ownership requirements. See "Description of Stock--Restriction on Size of
Holdings of Shares". ATLANTIC intends to enforce the 9.8% limitation on
ownership of shares of its stock to assure that its qualification as a REIT
will not be compromised.
 
 ASSET TESTS
 
  At the close of each quarter of ATLANTIC's taxable year, ATLANTIC must
satisfy certain tests relating to the nature of its assets (determined in
accordance with GAAP). First, at least 75% of the value of ATLANTIC's total
assets must be represented by interests in real property, interests in
 
                                      90
<PAGE>
 
mortgages on real property, shares in other REITs, cash, cash items, and
government securities (including certain government guaranteed securities) and
qualified temporary investments. Second, although the remaining 25% of
ATLANTIC's assets generally may be invested without restriction, securities in
this class may not exceed either (i) in the case of securities of any one non-
government issuer, 5% of the value of ATLANTIC's total assets or (ii) 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of any one such issuer. Where ATLANTIC
invests in a partnership, it will be deemed to own a proportionate share of
the partnership's assets.
 
 GROSS INCOME TESTS
 
  There are three separate percentage tests relating to the sources of
ATLANTIC's gross income which must be satisfied for each taxable year. For
purposes of these tests, where ATLANTIC invests in a partnership, ATLANTIC
will be treated as receiving its share of the income and loss of the
partnership, and the gross income of the partnership will retain the same
character in the hands of ATLANTIC as it has in the hands of the partnership.
The three tests are as follows:
 
    1. THE 75% TEST. At least 75% of ATLANTIC's gross income for the taxable
  year must be "qualifying income". Qualifying income generally includes: (i)
  rents from real property (except as modified below); (ii) interest on
  obligations collateralized by mortgages on, or interests in, real property;
  (iii) gains from the sale or other disposition of interests in real
  property and real estate mortgages, other than gain from property held
  primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of ATLANTIC's trade
  or business ("dealer property"); (iv) dividends or other distributions on
  shares in other REITs, as well as gain from the sale of such shares; (v)
  abatements and refunds of real property taxes; (vi) income from the
  operation, and gain from the sale, of property acquired at or in lieu of a
  foreclosure of the mortgage collateralized by such property ("foreclosure
  property"); and (vii) commitment fees received for agreeing to make loans
  collateralized by mortgages on real property or to purchase or lease real
  property.
 
    Rents received from a resident will not, however, qualify as rents from
  real property in satisfying the 75% test (or the 95% gross income test
  described below) if ATLANTIC, or an owner of 10% or more of ATLANTIC,
  directly or constructively owns 10% or more of such resident. In addition,
  if rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease
  of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the
  lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will
  not qualify as rents from real property. Moreover, an amount received or
  accrued will not qualify as rents from real property (or as interest
  income) for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests if it is based
  in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, although an
  amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from "rents from
  real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or
  percentages of receipts or sales. Finally, for rents received to qualify as
  rents from real property, ATLANTIC generally must not operate or manage the
  property or furnish or render services to residents, other than through an
  "independent contractor" from whom ATLANTIC derives no income, except that
  the "independent contractor" requirement does not apply to the extent that
  the services provided by ATLANTIC are "usually or customarily rendered" in
  connection with the rental of multifamily units for occupancy only, or are
  not otherwise considered "rendered to the occupant for his convenience".
 
    2. THE 95% TEST. In addition to deriving 75% of its gross income from the
  sources listed above, at least 95% of ATLANTIC's gross income for the
  taxable year must be derived from the above-described qualifying income, or
  from dividends, interest or gains from the sale or disposition of stock or
  other securities that are not dealer property. Dividends (other than on
  REIT shares) and interest on any obligations not collateralized by an
  interest in real property are included for purposes of the 95% test, but
  not for purposes of the 75% test.
 
    For purposes of determining whether ATLANTIC complies with the 75% and
  95% income tests, gross income does not include income from prohibited
  transactions. A "prohibited
 
                                      91
<PAGE>
 
  transaction" is a sale of dealer property (excluding foreclosure property)
  unless such property is held by ATLANTIC for at least four years and
  certain other requirements (relating to the number of properties sold in a
  year, their tax bases, and the cost of improvements made thereto) are
  satisfied. See "--Taxation of ATLANTIC--General".
 
    Even if ATLANTIC fails to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross
  income tests for any taxable year, it may still qualify as a REIT for such
  year if it is entitled to relief under certain provisions of the Code.
  These relief provisions will generally be available if: (i) ATLANTIC's
  failure to comply was due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect;
  (ii) ATLANTIC reports the nature and amount of each item of its income
  included in the tests on a schedule attached to its tax return; and (iii)
  any incorrect information on this schedule is not due to fraud with intent
  to evade tax. If these relief provisions apply, however, ATLANTIC will
  nonetheless be subject to a special tax upon the greater of the amount by
  which it fails either the 75% or 95% gross income test for that year.
 
    3. THE 30% TEST. ATLANTIC must derive less than 30% of its gross income
  for each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of: (i) real
  property held for less than four years (other than foreclosure property and
  involuntary conversions); (ii) stock or securities held for less than one
  year; and (iii) property in a prohibited transaction. ATLANTIC does not
  anticipate that it will have any substantial difficulty in complying with
  this test.
 
 ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS
 
  In order to qualify as a REIT, ATLANTIC is required to make distributions
(other than capital gain dividends) to its shareholders each year in an amount
at least equal to (i) the sum of (a) 95% of ATLANTIC's REIT taxable income
(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the REIT's net
capital gain) and (b) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from
foreclosure property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of non-cash income.
Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or
in the following taxable year if declared before ATLANTIC timely files its tax
return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment after such declaration. To the extent that ATLANTIC does not
distribute all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less
than 100%, of its REIT taxable income, as adjusted, it will be subject to tax
on the undistributed amount at regular capital gains or ordinary corporate tax
rates, as the case may be.
 
  ATLANTIC intends to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the
annual distribution requirements. It is possible that ATLANTIC may not have
sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 95% distribution
requirement, due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income
and actual payment of expenses on the one hand, and the inclusion of such
income and deduction of such expenses in computing ATLANTIC's REIT taxable
income on the other hand. To avoid any problem with the 95% distribution
requirement, ATLANTIC will closely monitor the relationship between its REIT
taxable income and cash flow and, if necessary, intends to borrow funds in
order to satisfy the distribution requirement. However, there can be no
assurance that such borrowing would be available at such time.
 
  If ATLANTIC fails to meet the 95% distribution requirement as a result of an
adjustment to ATLANTIC's tax return by the IRS, ATLANTIC may retroactively
cure the failure by paying a "deficiency dividend" (plus applicable penalties
and interest) within a specified period.
 
 FAILURE TO QUALIFY
 
  If ATLANTIC fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and
the relief provisions do not apply, ATLANTIC will be subject to applicable
federal and state tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on
its taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders
 
                                      92
<PAGE>
 
in any year in which ATLANTIC fails to qualify will not be deductible by
ATLANTIC, nor generally will they be required to be made under the Code. In
such event, to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits, all
distributions to shareholders will be taxable as ordinary income and, subject
to certain limitations in the Code, corporate distributees may be eligible for
the dividends received deduction. Unless entitled to relief under specific
statutory provisions, ATLANTIC also will be disqualified from re-electing
taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which
qualification was lost.
 
TAXATION OF SHAREHOLDERS
 
 TAXATION OF TAXABLE DOMESTIC SHAREHOLDERS
 
  As long as ATLANTIC qualifies as a REIT, distributions made to ATLANTIC's
taxable domestic shareholders out of current or accumulated earnings and
profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends) will be taken into
account by them as ordinary income and will not be eligible for the dividends
received deduction for corporations. Distributions that are designated as
capital gain dividends will be taxed as long-term capital gains (to the extent
they do not exceed ATLANTIC's actual net capital gain for the taxable year)
without regard to the period for which the shareholder has held its Shares.
However, corporate shareholders may be required to treat up to 20% of certain
capital gain dividends as ordinary income. To the extent that ATLANTIC makes
distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, these
distributions are treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the
shareholder, reducing the tax basis of a shareholder's Shares by the amount of
such distribution (but not below zero), with distributions in excess of the
shareholder's tax basis taxable as capital gains (if the Shares are held as a
capital asset). See "Distributions". In addition, any dividend declared by
ATLANTIC in October, November or December of any year and payable to a
shareholder of record on a specific date in any such month shall be treated as
both paid by ATLANTIC and received by the shareholder on December 31 of such
year, provided that the dividend is actually paid by ATLANTIC during January
of the following calendar year. Shareholders may not include in their
individual income tax returns any net operating losses or capital losses of
ATLANTIC. Federal income tax rules may also require that certain minimum tax
adjustments and preferences be apportioned to ATLANTIC shareholders.
 
  In general, any loss upon a sale or exchange of Shares by a shareholder who
has held such Shares for six months or less (after applying certain holding
period rules) will be treated as a long-term capital loss, to the extent of
distributions from ATLANTIC required to be treated by such shareholder as
long-term capital gains.
 
 BACKUP WITHHOLDING
 
  ATLANTIC will report to its domestic shareholders and to the IRS the amount
of dividends paid during each calendar year, and the amount of tax withheld,
if any, with respect thereto. Under the backup withholding rules, a
shareholder may be subject to backup withholding at applicable rates with
respect to dividends paid unless such shareholder (i) is a corporation or
comes within certain other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates
this fact, or (ii) provides a taxpayer identification number, certifies as to
no loss of exemption from backup withholding, and otherwise complies with
applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A shareholder that
does not provide ATLANTIC with its correct taxpayer identification number may
also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Any amount paid as backup
withholding will be credited against the shareholder's income tax liability.
In addition, ATLANTIC may be required to withhold a portion of capital gain
distributions made to any shareholders who fail to certify their non-foreign
status to ATLANTIC. See "--Taxation of Foreign Shareholders" below.
 
                                      93

 TAXATION OF TAX-EXEMPT SHAREHOLDERS
 
  The IRS has issued a revenue ruling in which it held that amounts
distributed by a REIT to a tax-exempt employees' pension trust do not
constitute unrelated business taxable income ("UBTI"). Subject to the
discussion below regarding a "pension-held REIT", based upon the ruling, the
analysis therein and the statutory framework of the Code, distributions by
ATLANTIC to a shareholder that is a tax-exempt entity should also not
constitute UBTI, provided that the tax-exempt entity has not financed the
acquisition of its Shares with "acquisition indebtedness" within the meaning
of the Code, and that the Shares are not otherwise used in an unrelated trade
or business of the tax-exempt entity, and that ATLANTIC, consistent with its
present intent, does not hold a residual interest in a real estate mortgage
investment conduit.
 
  However, if any pension or other retirement trust that qualifies under
Section 401(a) of the Code ("qualified pension trust") holds more than 10% by
value of the interests in a "pension-held REIT" at any time during a taxable
year, a portion of the dividends paid to the qualified pension trust by such
REIT may constitute UBTI. For these purposes, a "pension-held REIT" is defined
as a REIT if (i) such REIT would not have qualified as a REIT but for the
provisions of the Code which look through such a qualified pension trust in
determining ownership of stock of the REIT and (ii) at least one qualified
pension trust holds more than 25% by value of the interests of such REIT or
one or more qualified pension trusts (each owning more than a 10% interest by
value in the REIT) hold in the aggregate more than 50% by value of the
interests in such REIT.
 
 TAXATION OF FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
 
  ATLANTIC will qualify as a "domestically-controlled REIT" so long as less
than 50% in value of its Shares is held by foreign persons (i.e., non-resident
aliens and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates). It is
currently anticipated that ATLANTIC will qualify as a domestically-controlled
REIT. Under these circumstances, gain from the sale of the Shares by a foreign
person should not be subject to U.S. taxation, unless such gain is effectively
connected with such person's U.S. business or, in the case of an individual
foreign person, such person is present within the U.S. for more than 182 days
in such taxable year.
 
  Distributions of cash generated by ATLANTIC's real estate operations (but
not by its sale or exchange of such properties) that are paid to foreign
persons generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%,
unless (i) an applicable tax treaty reduces that tax and the foreign
shareholder files with ATLANTIC the required form evidencing such lower rate
or (ii) the foreign shareholder files an IRS Form 4224 with ATLANTIC claiming
that the distribution is "effectively connected" income. Treasury Regulations
proposed in 1996, which have not yet been adopted, and are therefore not
currently effective, would, if and when they become effective, revise in
certain respects the rules applicable to foreign shareholders with respect to
payments made after December 31, 1997.
 
  Distributions of proceeds attributable to the sale or exchange by ATLANTIC
of U.S. real property interests are subject to income and withholding taxes
pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980
("FIRPTA"), and may be subject to branch profits tax in the hands of a
shareholder which is a foreign corporation if it is not entitled to treaty
relief or exemption. ATLANTIC is required by applicable Treasury Regulations
to withhold 35% of any distribution to a foreign person that could be
designated by ATLANTIC as a capital gain dividend; this amount is creditable
against the foreign shareholder's FIRPTA tax liability.
 
  The federal income taxation of foreign persons is a highly complex matter
that may be affected by many other considerations. Accordingly, foreign
investors in ATLANTIC should consult their own tax advisors regarding the
income and withholding tax considerations with respect to their investment in
ATLANTIC.

TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION
 
  The following is a summary of the material United States Federal income tax
consequences of the Homestead transaction to ATLANTIC and ATLANTIC
shareholders. To the extent such summary discusses matters of law, it is based
on the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt. The summary is based upon the Code,
its legislative history, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and
Treasury regulations, subsequent changes to any of which may affect the tax
consequences described herein possibly on a retroactive basis. The summary
only applies to persons who hold Shares as capital assets and does not address
tax considerations which may affect the treatment of certain special status
taxpayers such as financial institutions, broker-dealers, life insurance
companies, tax-exempt organizations, investment companies and foreign
taxpayers. The summary does not address the foreign, state, local or other tax
consequences of the Homestead transaction. SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT
THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION AND AS TO THE FOREIGN,
STATE, LOCAL AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION.
 
 TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ATLANTIC
 
  THE MERGERS. In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain
representations of ATLANTIC, the Mergers constitute a transaction subject to
Section 351 or the reorganization provisions of the Code and related
provisions. Assuming the Mergers constitute a transaction subject to Section
351 or the reorganization provisions of the Code and related provisions, (i)
ATLANTIC will not recognize gain, income or loss upon the receipt of the
Homestead common stock in the Mergers in exchange for the assets transferred
except to the extent that ATLANTIC is treated as having received boot in the
Mergers, (ii) the tax basis of the Homestead common stock received by ATLANTIC
will be the same as ATLANTIC's and its subsidiaries' tax basis in the
Homestead Village properties transferred by ATLANTIC to Homestead in the
Mergers reduced by any liabilities of ATLANTIC's subsidiaries assumed by
Homestead in the Mergers, and (iii) the holding period of the Homestead common
stock received by ATLANTIC will be the same as ATLANTIC's and its
subsidiaries' holding period in the Homestead Village properties, allocated
among the shares of the Homestead common stock received according to the fair
market values of such properties. To the extent that ATLANTIC is treated as
having received boot in the Mergers, ATLANTIC will recognize taxable gain with
respect to each of the Homestead Village properties transferred by ATLANTIC to
Homestead in the Mergers in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the fair
market value on the date of the Mergers of the boot received by ATLANTIC
allocated to such Homestead Village property and (ii) the amount by which the
fair market value of such Homestead Village property exceeds ATLANTIC's or its
subsidiaries' tax basis therein. The tax basis of the Homestead common stock
received by ATLANTIC will be increased by the amount of any such taxable gain
recognized and will be decreased by the fair market value of the boot
received. ATLANTIC's tax basis in any boot received will equal the fair market
value on the date of the Mergers of such boot. Any taxable gain recognized by
ATLANTIC as a result of the receipt of boot will reduce the amount of gain
recognized by ATLANTIC on the Homestead Distribution.
 
  THE HOMESTEAD DISTRIBUTION. ATLANTIC will recognize gain upon the
distribution of the Homestead common stock and warrants to its shareholders in
an amount equal to the excess of the sum of (i) the fair market value of the
Homestead common stock and warrants on the Distribution Date and (ii) cash
distributed in lieu of fractional shares of Homestead common stock and
fractional Homestead warrants over ATLANTIC's tax basis immediately prior to
the Homestead Distribution in the Homestead common stock and warrants it
receives in the Mergers, and the earnings and profits of ATLANTIC will be
increased by the amount of any such gain recognized. ATLANTIC's gain on the
Homestead Distribution will be reduced to the extent that ATLANTIC recognized
gain on the Mergers from the receipt of boot and its tax basis in the
Homestead common stock was increased thereby. In
 
                                      95
<PAGE>
 
computing its taxable income for the year in which the Homestead Distribution
occurs, ATLANTIC will be allowed a dividends paid deduction with respect to
the Homestead Distribution in an amount equal to the sum of the fair market
value on the Distribution Date of the Homestead common stock and warrants
distributed and any cash distributed in lieu of fractional shares of Homestead
common stock and fractional Homestead warrants, but in no event in excess of
the earnings and profits of ATLANTIC.
 
  The fair market value of the Homestead common stock and warrants on the
Distribution Date will be determined by the best available evidence as to
their value on that date. Assuming there are no aberrations in the trading of
the Homestead common stock and warrants, and absent special factors bearing on
the value of a particular holder's Homestead common stock and warrants, the
best available evidence of the fair market value of the Homestead common stock
and warrants on the Distribution Date should be their value as reflected by
their trading prices on the Distribution Record Date or within a reasonable
period before or after such date. To the extent the trading price of the
Homestead common stock and warrants does not reflect their fair market value
because, for example, there are too few trades, the trading is of a sporadic
nature or such securities are not traded, then other relevant data bearing on
the value of the Homestead common stock and warrants will be considered in
determining the fair market value of the Homestead common stock and warrants.
 
  Thus, as a result of the Homestead transaction, ATLANTIC will recognize gain
in an amount equal to the excess of the value of the Homestead Village
properties transferred by ATLANTIC to Homestead in the Mergers over ATLANTIC's
or its subsidiaries' basis therein (the "net built-in gain"). ATLANTIC will
recognize such gain in one of the following ways: (i) as a result of the
receipt of boot in the Mergers, (ii) upon the Homestead Distribution, or (iii)
in part as a result of the receipt of boot in the Mergers and in part upon the
Homestead Distribution. In addition, if the fair market value of any Homestead
Village property transferred by ATLANTIC to Homestead in the Mergers were less
than ATLANTIC's or its subsidiaries' tax basis therein (a "built-in loss") and
if the fair market value of boot received by ATLANTIC in the Mergers were to
exceed ATLANTIC's net built-in gain in the Homestead Village properties,
ATLANTIC would recognize additional gain in the Homestead transaction in an
amount equal to the lesser of (i) ATLANTIC's aggregate built-in losses in the
Homestead Village properties and (ii) the excess of the fair market value of
the boot received by ATLANTIC in the Mergers over ATLANTIC's net built-in gain
in the Homestead Village properties. However, it is not anticipated that any
of the Homestead Village properties transferred by ATLANTIC in the Mergers
will have a built-in loss.
 
  MORTGAGES. After consummation of the Homestead transaction, ATLANTIC will
hold mortgage notes of Homestead convertible into shares of Homestead common
stock. The terms of the Funding Commitment Agreement provide that ATLANTIC
will fund $1,133,535 for each $1,000,000 of convertible mortgage loans.
Accordingly, ATLANTIC will be treated as having acquired the convertible
mortgage loans at a premium which ATLANTIC will be entitled to amortize as an
offset to interest income (with a corresponding reduction in ATLANTIC's tax
basis) under a constant yield method over the terms of the convertible
mortgage notes if (as ATLANTIC intends) an election under Section 171 of the
Code is made. Interest paid by Homestead to ATLANTIC on the mortgage notes
will constitute qualified income for purposes of determining whether ATLANTIC
meets the gross income requirements for REIT qualification.
 
  The terms of the mortgages provide for adjustment of the price for
conversion of the mortgages into the Homestead common stock if Homestead makes
certain distributions of stock, cash or other property to its shareholders.
While Homestead does not presently contemplate making such a distribution, if
Homestead makes a distribution of cash or property resulting in an adjustment
to the conversion price, ATLANTIC, as a holder of such convertible mortgages,
may be viewed as receiving a "deemed distribution" under Section 305 of the
Code, even if ATLANTIC does not hold any Homestead common stock at such time.
The deemed distribution would constitute a taxable dividend, taxable as
ordinary income, to the extent that the earnings and profits of Homestead were
allocable to the deemed distribution. The amount of the deemed distribution
which exceeded the allocated earnings
 
                                      96
<PAGE>
 
and profits of Homestead would be considered a return of capital and would
reduce ATLANTIC's tax basis in the convertible mortgages (but not below zero)
by the value of the deemed distribution. To the extent that the value of the
deemed distribution exceeds ATLANTIC's tax basis in the convertible mortgages,
the deemed distribution would result in gain to ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC's tax basis
in the convertible mortgages would then immediately be increased by the value
of the property deemed to have been distributed.
 
  Except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of
fractional shares of Homestead common stock, ATLANTIC will not recognize gain
or loss upon the exercise of the conversion right. ATLANTIC's tax basis in the
Homestead common stock received upon the conversion will be equal to
ATLANTIC's tax basis in the mortgages converted. Upon conversion of the
mortgages, ATLANTIC will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares of
Homestead common stock and will recognize gain to the extent that the cash
received exceeds ATLANTIC's tax basis in the portion of the mortgages
converted for cash in lieu of fractional shares. In the event that ATLANTIC
exercises its conversion right, it is expected that ATLANTIC, consistent with
its status as a REIT, will shortly thereafter distribute to its shareholders
or sell in the open market the Homestead common stock received. ATLANTIC will
recognize gain upon such distribution or sale of the Homestead common stock
received upon conversion in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market
value of the Homestead common stock over ATLANTIC's tax basis therein, and the
earnings and profits of ATLANTIC will be increased by the amount of any such
gain recognized. In computing its taxable income for the year in which any
Homestead common stock is distributed, ATLANTIC will be allowed a dividends
paid deduction in an amount equal to the fair market value at the time of
distribution of the Homestead common stock distributed, but in no event in
excess of the earnings and profits of ATLANTIC.
 
  COMMITMENT FEE INCOME. The receipt by ATLANTIC of the Homestead warrants in
consideration for entering into the Funding Commitment Agreement will be
treated as a commitment fee to ATLANTIC for entering into the Funding
Commitment Agreement which will constitute taxable income to ATLANTIC. Such
income will constitute qualified income for purposes of determining whether
ATLANTIC meets the gross income requirements for REIT qualification. The
earnings and profits of ATLANTIC will be increased by the amount of the
commitment fee income, consequently increasing the amount of the Homestead
Distribution which will be treated as a fully taxable dividend to ATLANTIC
shareholders.
 
 TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HOMESTEAD
 
  Assuming the Mergers constitute a transaction subject to Section 351 or the
reorganization provisions of the Code and related provisions, (i) Homestead
will not recognize gain, income or loss as a result of the Homestead
transaction, (ii) the tax bases of the Homestead Village properties received
by Homestead from ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries will be the same as the tax
bases of ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries in such properties increased by the
amount of any gain recognized by ATLANTIC as a result of the receipt by
ATLANTIC of boot in the Mergers, and (iii) the holding period of the Homestead
Village properties received by Homestead from ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries
will be the same as the holding period of ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries in
such properties.
 
 TAX CONSEQUENCES TO ATLANTIC SHAREHOLDERS
 
  THE HOMESTEAD DISTRIBUTION. The amount received by ATLANTIC shareholders in
the Homestead Distribution will be equal to the fair market value of the
Homestead common stock and warrants received plus the amount of any cash
received in lieu of fractional shares of Homestead common stock and fractional
Homestead warrants. The Homestead Distribution will constitute a taxable
dividend to ATLANTIC shareholders, taxable as ordinary income, to the extent
of the earnings and profits of ATLANTIC allocable to such Homestead common
stock and warrants and cash. The amount of the Homestead Distribution which
exceeds the allocated earnings and profits of ATLANTIC will be treated as a
nontaxable reduction (although not below zero) of a shareholder's adjusted tax
 
                                      97
<PAGE>
 
basis in its Shares. To the extent that the Homestead Distribution exceeds
such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its Shares, the Homestead
Distribution will be treated as gain to such shareholder. Any such gain will
constitute capital gain to such shareholder if the shareholder holds its
Shares as a capital asset. Such gain will constitute short-term capital gain
for any holder acquiring its Shares in the Offering. As discussed above, gain
recognized by ATLANTIC upon the distribution of the Homestead common stock and
warrants will increase ATLANTIC's earnings and profits, thus increasing the
portion of the distributions of ATLANTIC for the taxable year of the Homestead
Distribution which will be treated as taxable dividends as opposed to return
of capital.
  To the extent that ATLANTIC has a net capital gain for the taxable year, it
may designate all or a portion of any dividend distributed as a capital gain
dividend. In this event, shareholders will be provided written notice of such
designation within 30 days after the close of ATLANTIC's taxable year.
Shareholders will be taxed at the long-term capital gains rate on any such
capital gain dividends regardless of the shareholder's holding period of its
Shares. The amount of capital gain dividends which may be designated by
ATLANTIC will be reduced by any capital loss carryovers of ATLANTIC. Gain
recognized by ATLANTIC as a result of the Homestead Distribution will
constitute capital gain to the extent attributable to Homestead Village
properties held by ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries in excess of one year prior
to the Mergers and ATLANTIC anticipates that it will designate dividends
attributable to any net capital gain resulting from the Homestead Distribution
as capital gain dividends. However, ATLANTIC does not anticipate that it will
derive significant net capital gain from the Homestead Distribution.
 
 
  The following sets forth an estimate of the portion of the Homestead
Distribution taxable as a dividend to ATLANTIC shareholders, based upon
various assumed values for the Homestead common stock and warrants and the
following additional assumptions. The following information assumes that (i)
the total number of outstanding Shares on the Distribution Record Date is
37,301,580 (which assumes no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment
option in the Offering or of the 3,000 Options which were granted on the date
of this Prospectus), (ii) ATLANTIC will make total cash distributions to
shareholders for calendar year 1996 in an amount equal to $52,762,000, (iii)
ATLANTIC's total earnings and profits other than from the Homestead
transaction for calendar year 1996 is $34,546,000, (iv) ATLANTIC's and its
subsidiaries' tax basis in the Homestead Village properties immediately prior
to the Homestead transaction is $47,622,293, (v) the Offering is consummated
and (vi) no underwriter's overallotment is exercised in the Offering. The
foregoing assumptions and the assumed values of Homestead common stock and
warrants below are intended for informational purposes only for purposes of
computing the portion of the Homestead Distribution taxable as a dividend
based upon such assumptions and are not intended as an indication of the
actual number of Shares which will be or are expected to be outstanding on the
Distribution Record Date or which will or are expected to be issued in the
Offering, actual or expected cash distributions to be made by ATLANTIC for
calendar year 1996, actual or expected taxable income of ATLANTIC for calendar
year 1996, actual or expected tax basis of ATLANTIC and its subsidiaries in
the Homestead Village properties immediately prior to the Homestead
transaction, whether the underwriter's overallotment will or is expected to be
exercised in the Offering, or ATLANTIC's estimate of the value of the
Homestead common stock and warrants.

  Foreign Withholding. For purposes of this discussion, a "non-U.S. holder"
means any ATLANTIC shareholder who, for United States income tax purposes, is
a foreign corporation, a nonresident alien,
 
                                      98
<PAGE>
 
a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust, or a foreign
partnership which has at least one member that is, for United States Federal
income tax purposes, a foreign corporation, a nonresident alien individual or
a nonresident alien fiduciary of a foreign estate or trust. Non-U.S. holders
will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, or if applicable, a
lower treaty rate, on the portion of the Homestead Distribution not
attributable to capital gains unless the Homestead Distribution is effectively
connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States by such
non-U.S. holder. In addition, under the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act of 1980 ("FIRPTA"), any distribution made by ATLANTIC to a non-U.S.
holder, to the extent attributable to gains from dispositions of United States
Real Property Interests ("USRPIs") by ATLANTIC ("USRPI Capital Gains"), will
be considered effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business of the non-
U.S. holder and subject to U.S. income tax at the rates applicable to U.S.
individuals or corporations. ATLANTIC will be required to withhold tax equal
to 35% of the amount of the Homestead Distribution to the extent it
constitutes USRPI Capital Gains, without regard to the portion of the
Homestead Distribution which ATLANTIC designates as a capital gain dividend.
The portion of the Homestead Distribution which constitutes USRPI Capital
Gains may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax (unless reduced by
treaty) in the case of a non-U.S. holder that is a foreign corporation.
 
  Any portion of the Homestead Distribution that exceeds both current and
accumulated earnings and profits of ATLANTIC will not be taxed as either an
ordinary dividend or a capital gain dividend. However, because ATLANTIC will
not be able to determine at the time the Homestead Distribution is made
whether or not the Homestead Distribution will be in excess of ATLANTIC's
current and accumulated earnings and profits, the Homestead Distribution will
be subject to full withholding. The non-U.S. holder may seek a refund of over-
withholding from the Internal Revenue Service if it is subsequently determined
that the Homestead Distribution was, in fact, in excess of ATLANTIC's current
and accumulated earnings and profits. Under current Treasury Regulations,
distributions paid to an address in a foreign country are presumed to be paid
to a resident of that country (unless the payor has knowledge to the contrary)
for foreign withholding purposes and, under the current interpretation of the
Treasury Regulations, for purposes of determining the applicability of a tax
treaty rate. In any case where a distribution is payable in any medium other
than money, the withholding agent cannot release the property so distributed
until the property has been converted into funds sufficient to enable the
withholding agent to pay over in money the tax required to be withheld. For a
discussion of the manner in which this withholding obligation will be
satisfied by ATLANTIC in connection with the Homestead Distribution, see
"Homestead Transaction".
 
  Backup Withholding. Under the backup withholding rules of the Code (which
generally impose a 31% withholding tax on certain persons who fail to furnish
the information required under the United States tax reporting requirements),
an ATLANTIC shareholder who receives Homestead common stock and warrants or
cash in lieu of fractional shares of Homestead common stock or fractional
Homestead warrants in the Homestead Distribution may be subject to backup
withholding with respect to such Homestead common stock and warrants and cash
received in the Homestead Distribution unless such shareholder (i) is a
corporation or comes within certain other exempt categories and, when
required, demonstrates this fact, or (ii) provides a correct taxpayer
identification number and certifies under penalties of perjury that the
taxpayer identification number is correct and that the holder is not currently
subject to backup withholding because of a failure to report all dividend and
interest income. Any amount withheld under these rules will be credited
against the shareholder's Federal income tax liability.
 
  Information Reporting. ATLANTIC is required to report the amount distributed
to shareholders pursuant to the Homestead Distribution (and the allocation of
such amount among ordinary dividends, capital gain dividends and return of
capital) to the IRS and each shareholder on Form 1099-DIV.
 
  HOMESTEAD COMMON STOCK. A shareholder's tax basis in the Homestead common
stock received in the Homestead Distribution will be the fair market value of
the Homestead common stock
 
                                      99
<PAGE>
 
on the Distribution Date to be determined as discussed above. A shareholder's
holding period for the Homestead common stock received in the Homestead
Distribution will begin on the Distribution Record Date.
 
  Upon the sale or exchange of Homestead common stock, a Homestead shareholder
will realize gain or loss measured by the difference between the amount
realized on the sale or other disposition and the shareholder's tax basis in
the Homestead common stock. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss
to such shareholder if the shareholder holds its Homestead common stock as a
capital asset, and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the Homestead
shareholder's holding period with respect to the Homestead common stock sold
is more than one year at the time of sale or exchange.
 
  HOMESTEAD WARRANTS. A shareholder's tax basis in the Homestead warrants
received in the Homestead Distribution will be the fair market value of the
Homestead warrants on the Distribution Date to be determined as discussed
above. A shareholder's holding period for the Homestead warrants received in
the Homestead Distribution will begin on the Distribution Record Date.
 
  The terms of the Homestead warrants distributed to ATLANTIC shareholders
pursuant to the Merger Agreement provide for adjustment of the price for
exercise if Homestead makes certain distributions of stock, cash or other
property to its shareholders. While Homestead does not presently contemplate
making such a distribution, if Homestead makes a distribution of cash or
property resulting in an adjustment to the exercise price, the holders of the
Homestead warrants may be viewed as receiving a "deemed distribution" under
Section 305 of the Code even if such holder does not hold any Homestead common
stock at such time. The deemed distribution would constitute a taxable
dividend, taxable as ordinary income, to the extent that the earnings and
profits of Homestead were allocable to the deemed distribution. The amount of
the deemed distribution which exceeded the allocated earnings and profits of
Homestead would be considered a return of capital and the Homestead warrant
holder's tax basis in the Homestead warrants would be reduced (but not below
zero) by the value of the deemed distribution and, to the extent that the
value of the deemed distribution exceeds the Homestead warrant holder's tax
basis in its Homestead warrants, the deemed distribution would result in gain
to such holder. The Homestead warrant holder's tax basis in its Homestead
warrants would then immediately be increased by the amount of the property
deemed to have been distributed.
 
  Except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of
fractional shares of Homestead common stock, Homestead warrant holders will
not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of the Homestead warrants. The
Homestead warrant holder's tax basis in the Homestead common stock received
upon the exercise of the Homestead warrants will be equal to the sum of (i)
the Homestead warrant holder's tax basis in the warrants exercised and (ii)
the exercise price paid. Upon the exercise of the Homestead warrants,
Homestead warrant holders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares
of Homestead common stock and will recognize gain to the extent that the cash
received exceeds the Homestead warrant holder's tax basis in the portion of
the Homestead warrants exercised for cash in lieu of fractional shares.
 
  Upon a sale or other disposition of a Homestead warrant, a Homestead warrant
holder will recognize gain or loss measured by the difference between the
amount realized on the sale or other disposition and the warrant Holder's tax
basis in the Homestead warrant. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss
if the stock into which the Homestead warrants are exercisable would be a
capital asset in the Homestead warrant holder's hands, and will be a short-
term capital gain or loss because the Homestead warrants expire within one
year and therefore the Homestead warrant holder's holding period will be one
year or less.
 
  If a Homestead warrant holder's Homestead warrants expire without being
exercised, the Homestead warrant holder will recognize a loss at the time such
Homestead warrants expire equal to its tax basis in the expired Homestead
warrants. In general, such loss will be a capital loss if the stock into which
the warrants were exercisable would be a capital asset in the Homestead
warrant holder's hands.

OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS
 
 TAX ON BUILT-IN GAIN
 
  Pursuant to I.R.S. Notice 88-19, 1988-1 C.B. 486, a "C" corporation that
elects to be taxed as a REIT has to recognize any gain that would have been
realized if the "C" corporation had sold all of its assets for their
respective fair market values at the end of its last taxable year before the
taxable year in which it qualifies to be taxed as a REIT and immediately
liquidated unless the REIT elects to be taxed under rules similar to the rules
of Section 1374 of the Code.
 
  Since ATLANTIC has made this election, if during the 10-year period
beginning on the first day of the first taxable year for which ATLANTIC
qualifies as a REIT (the "Recognition Period"), ATLANTIC recognizes gain on
the disposition of any asset held by ATLANTIC as of the beginning of such
Recognition Period, then, to the extent of the excess of (a) the fair market
value of such asset as of the beginning of such Recognition Period over (b)
ATLANTIC's adjusted basis in such asset as of the beginning of such
Recognition Period (the "Built-in Gain"), such gain will be subject to tax at
the highest regular corporate rate. Because ATLANTIC acquired many of its
properties in fully taxable transactions and presently expects to hold each
property beyond the Recognition Period, it is not anticipated that ATLANTIC
will pay a substantial corporate level tax on its Built-in Gain.
 
 POSSIBLE LEGISLATIVE OR OTHER ACTIONS AFFECTING TAX CONSEQUENCES
 
  Prospective shareholders should recognize that the present federal income
tax treatment of an investment in ATLANTIC may be modified by legislative,
judicial or administrative action at any time and that any such action may
affect investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with
federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the
legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury, resulting in revisions of
regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts as well as
statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations thereof
could adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in ATLANTIC.
 
 STATE AND LOCAL TAXES
 
  ATLANTIC and its shareholders may be subject to state or local taxation in

</TABLE>
 
  Under the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, the
Underwriters are committed to take and pay for all of the Shares offered
hereby, if any are taken.
 
  The Underwriters propose to offer the Shares in part directly to the public
at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus and in part to certain securities dealers at such price less a
concession of $0.90 per Share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers
may reallow, a concession not in excess of $0.10 per Share to certain brokers
and dealers. After the Shares are released for sale to the public, the
offering price and other selling terms may from time to time be varied by the
representatives.
 
  SCG has agreed with ATLANTIC that it will concurrently purchase from
ATLANTIC 416,666 Shares at the initial public offering price set forth on the
cover page of this Prospectus. No Underwriter will receive any commission or
discount on the purchase of such Shares by SCG. The purchase of such Shares by
SCG is a condition to the closing of the Offering, and vice versa.
 
  ATLANTIC has granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of 590,000
additional Shares solely to cover over-allotments, if any. If the Underwriters
exercise their over-allotment option, the Underwriters have severally agreed,
subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage
thereof that the number of Shares to be purchased by each of them, as shown in
the foregoing table, bears to the 3,933,334 Shares offered.
 
  The representatives of the Underwriters have informed ATLANTIC that they do
not expect sales to accounts over which the Underwriters exercise
discretionary authority to exceed five percent of the total number of Shares
offered by them.
 
  At the request of ATLANTIC, the Underwriters have reserved up to 75,000
Shares for sale, at the initial public offering price, to officers and
employees of ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager. The
 
                                      102
<PAGE>
 
number of Shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced to
the extent such persons purchase such reserved Shares. There will be no
underwriting discount on any of such reserved Shares which are purchased by
such persons. Any reserved Shares not so purchased will be offered by the
Underwriters to the general public on the same terms as the other Shares
offered hereby.
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The
initial public offering price was negotiated among ATLANTIC and the
representatives. Among the factors considered in determining the initial public
offering price of the Shares, in addition to prevailing market conditions, were
the dividend yields and price earnings ratios of publicly traded real estate
investment trusts that ATLANTIC and the representatives believe to be
comparable to ATLANTIC, estimates of the business potential and earnings
prospects of ATLANTIC, an assessment of ATLANTIC's management, the current
state of ATLANTIC's industry and the economy as a whole.
 
  SCG and ATLANTIC have agreed that, during the period beginning from the date
of this Prospectus and continuing to and including the date 90 days after the
last closing of the Offering, and certain of ATLANTIC's Directors and officers
have agreed that, during the period beginning from the date of this Prospectus
and continuing to and including the date 180 days after the last closing of the
Offering, they will not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of
any securities of ATLANTIC (other than pursuant to employee or director stock
option plans existing, or on the conversion or exchange of convertible or
exchangeable securities outstanding, on the date of this Prospectus and except
pursuant to rights offerings to existing shareholders (which may include sales
of unsubscribed and additional Shares to third parties) and except for the
issuance of limited partnership interests (which partnership interests may be
exchangeable for Shares after such 90-day period)) which are substantially
similar to the Shares or which are convertible into or exchangeable for
securities which are substantially similar to the Shares without the prior
written consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co., except that ATLANTIC may sell Shares
to the Underwriters and SCG in connection with the Offering.
 
  The Shares have been approved for listing, subject to notice of issuance, on
the NYSE under the symbol "SCA". In order to meet one of the requirements for
listing the Shares on the NYSE, the Underwriters have undertaken to sell lots
of 100 or more Shares to a minimum of 2,000 beneficial holders.
 
  ATLANTIC and Homestead have agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
  Goldman, Sachs & Co., Dean Witter Reynolds Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc.
and Prudential Securities Incorporated have in the past provided investment
banking services for affiliates of ATLANTIC. In addition, Goldman Sachs Capital
Markets, L.P., an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co., and ATLANTIC are parties
to an interest rate swap agreement, which effectively fixes the interest rate
on $100 million of ATLANTIC's borrowings under ATLANTIC's line of credit at
7.46% through February 5, 1997, and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York,
an affiliate of J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., is the agent under ATLANTIC's
secured $350 million line of credit that is scheduled to mature in June 1998
and is the issuer under two swap agreements covering $69.6 million of bonds.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources". Finally, in connection with the
Mergers, Goldman, Sachs & Co. provided a fairness opinion to PTR and J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. provided a fairness opinion to ATLANTIC.
 
                                    EXPERTS
 
  The financial statements and related schedule of ATLANTIC included in this
Prospectus and elsewhere in the registration statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent certified
public accountants, to the extent indicated in their reports thereon also
appearing elsewhere herein and in the registration statement. Such financial
statements have been included herein in reliance upon such reports given upon
the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
 
                                      103

  With respect to the unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and June 30, 1996, included in
this Prospectus, Ernst & Young LLP have reported that they have applied
limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of
such information. However, their separate report states that they did not
audit and they do not express an opinion on that interim financial
information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such
information should be restricted considering the limited nature of the review
procedures applied. The independent auditors are not subject to the liability
provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act for their report on the
unaudited interim financial information because that report is not a "report"
or a "part" of the Registration Statement prepared or certified by the
auditors within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
 
                              VALIDITY OF SHARES
 
  The validity of the issuance of the Shares offered pursuant to this
Prospectus will be passed upon for ATLANTIC by Mayer, Brown & Platt, Chicago,
Illinois and for the Underwriters by Sullivan & Cromwell, New York, New York.
Mayer, Brown & Platt has in the past represented and is currently representing
ATLANTIC, SCG and certain of their affiliates, including representation of SCG
and Homestead in connection with the Homestead transaction. As to certain
matters of Maryland law, Mayer, Brown & Platt and Sullivan & Cromwell will
rely upon the opinion of Ballard Spahr Andrews & Ingersoll, Baltimore,
Maryland.

                    INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REVIEW REPORT
 
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
 
  We have reviewed the accompanying condensed balance sheet of Security
Capital Atlantic Incorporated as of June 30, 1996, the statements of earnings
and statements of cash flows for the three-month and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the statement of shareholders' equity for the six
months ended June 30, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the company's management.
 
  We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will
be performed for the full year, with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.
 
  Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements for them to
be in confirmity with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
  The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 were audited
by us and we expressed an unqualified opinion on them in our report dated
January 26, 1996, except for Note 3, as to which the date is February 5, 1996,
and Note 9, as to which the date is September 10, 1996, but we have not
performed any auditing procedures since that date.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
NOTE 1--GENERAL
 
  The financial statements of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
("ATLANTIC") as of June 30, 1996 and for the three- and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited and certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been
omitted. While management of ATLANTIC believes that the disclosures presented
are adequate, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes included in ATLANTIC's financial
statements for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the period from
October 26, 1993 (inception) through December 31, 1993.
 
  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of ATLANTIC's financial
statements for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for
the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure 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.
 
  The share and per share amounts included in the financial statements have
been restated to reflect the reverse stock split discussed in Note 7.

  At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC had unfunded commitments for garden developments
under construction of $126.0 million, for a total completed construction cost
of $277.6 million. Costs for developments in planning shown above are
primarily for land acquisitions. ATLANTIC has entered into a merger agreement
to exchange all of its extended-stay lodging assets as discussed in Note 6. In
connection with the merger agreement, ATLANTIC has entered into an agreement
to fund approximately $111 million of convertible mortgage loans related to
the future development of these extended-stay lodging assets.

 Third Party Owner-Developers
 
  To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily
properties, ATLANTIC has and will enter into presale agreements with third
party owner-developers to acquire properties developed by such owner-
developers where the developments meet ATLANTIC's investment criteria.
ATLANTIC has and will fund such developments through development loans to such
owner-developers. In addition, to provide greater flexibility for the use of
land acquired for development and to dispose of excess parcels, ATLANTIC plans
to make mortgage loans to Atlantic Development Services Incorporated
("Atlantic Development Services") to purchase land for development. ATLANTIC
owns all of the preferred stock of Atlantic Development Services, which
entitles ATLANTIC to substantially all of the net operating cash flow (95%) of
Atlantic Development Services. All of the common stock of Atlantic Development
Services is owned by an unaffiliated trust. The common stock is entitled to
receive the remaining 5% of net operating cash flow. As of June 30, 1996 the
outstanding balance of development and mortgage loans made by ATLANTIC to
third party owner-developers and Atlantic Development Services aggregated
$14,861,000 and none, respectively. The activities of Atlantic Development
Services and third party owner development projects to which development loans
are made are consolidated with ATLANTIC's activities and all intercompany
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
 Gains and Losses from Sales or Impairments of Real Estate
 
  ATLANTIC's real estate investments have been made with a view to effective
long-term operation and ownership. Based upon ATLANTIC's market research and
in an effort to optimize its portfolio composition, ATLANTIC may from time to
time seek to dispose of assets that in management's view do not meet
ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria and redeploy the proceeds therefrom,
preferably through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets that are more
consistent with ATLANTIC's investment objectives.

  On April 9, 1996, ATLANTIC disposed of a 358-unit middle-income property as
part of a tax-deferred exchange. This property accounted for $269,000 of net
operating income during the six-month period ended June 30, 1996. A gain of
$662,000 on this disposition was recognized in the second quarter. The
proceeds from this disposition were held in escrow until April 22, 1996 when
these funds were used to acquire a 350-unit moderate-income operating
property. Including this property, in 1996 ATLANTIC has acquired a total of
five operating properties aggregating 1,308 units at a cost of $64.5 million.
 
  As part of ATLANTIC's asset optimization strategy two properties were held
for disposition at June 30, 1996. Statement of FInancial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, which was adopted by ATLANTIC effective
January 1, 1996, requires that an investment held for disposition be carried
at the lower of the investment's depreciated cost or fair market value less
cost to sell. The aggregate carrying value of these two properties is $20.3
million at June 30, 1996, which is less than the fair market value less cost
to sell. Properties held for disposition are not depreciated during the period
they are determined to be held for disposition. Subject to normal closing
risks, ATLANTIC expects to complete the disposition of these two properties in
1996, and redeploy the proceeds from these dispositions through tax-deferred
exchanges. These properties accounted for $958,000 of net operating income
during the six-month period ended June 30, 1996.
 
NOTE 3--LINE OF CREDIT AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE
 
 Line of Credit
 
  In June 1996, ATLANTIC increased its line of credit with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, as agent for a group of lenders ("MGT"), to $350
million. At June 30, 1996, $194 million was outstanding on the line of credit.
Borrowings bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 1.50%
or the certificate of deposit rate (as defined) plus 1.625%. Additionally,
there is a commitment fee of .1875% per annum on the average unfunded line of
credit balance. The line is collateralized by multifamily properties having an
aggregate undepreciated cost of $477,006,000 at June 30, 1996, which allows
ATLANTIC to borrow up to $285 million on the line of credit. ATLANTIC has
additional assets which could be pledged as security on the line of credit
which would allow ATLANTIC to borrow up to $350 million. The line of credit
matures June 1998 and may be extended for one year with the approval of MGT
and other participating lenders.
 
  In August 1995, ATLANTIC entered into a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs
Capital Markets, L.P. covering $100 million of borrowings under the line of
credit. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC pays a fixed rate of interest of 7.46%. By entering into this
swap agreement, ATLANTIC has effectively mitigated a portion of the variable
interest rate exposure associated with the line of credit. For the six months
ended June 30, 1996, the interest paid under the swap agreement was $264,000
greater than the interest received.
 
  All debt incurrences are subject to certain covenants. ATLANTIC must
maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 2 to 1 and an
adjusted net worth (as defined) of at least $325 million. ATLANTIC's interest
payment coverage (as defined) is required to be not less than 2 to 1.
Restricted payments or distributions (as defined) may not exceed 95% of
ATLANTIC's funds from operations (as defined) for the preceding four quarters.
ATLANTIC has been granted a waiver of the restricted payments covenant. This
waiver allows for restricted payments not to exceed 97% of funds from
operations through the third quarter of 1997. ATLANTIC is in compliance with
all such covenants.

 Shares Authorized
 
  At June 30, 1996, 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per
share, were authorized. ATLANTIC's Board of Directors may classify or
reclassify any unissued shares of ATLANTIC's stock from time to time by
setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting
powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and
terms or conditions of redemption of such shares. No such shares have been
reclassified, except in connection with the Purchase Rights discussed below,
and none are issued or outstanding.
 
 Capital Offerings
 
  During the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC completed a
private offering by raising an additional $119.3 million through the sale of
5,188,763 shares at $23.00 per share. The private offering, which commenced in
November 1995, raised a total of $250 million through the sale of 10,862,278
shares (9,612,278 shares sold at $23.00 per share and 1,250,000 shares sold at
$23.136 per share).
 
  Security Capital Group Incorporated's ("SCG") third and final put obligation
related to ATLANTIC shares was paid by SCG on July 1, 1996. This put
obligation was not assumed by ATLANTIC.
 
 Distributions
 
  ATLANTIC made quarterly distributions of $0.42 per share on March 28, 1996
and June 27, 1996.
 
 Purchase Rights
 
  On March 12, 1996, the Board of Directors declared and paid a dividend of
one preferred share purchase right ("Purchase Right") for each common share
outstanding at the close of business on March 12, 1996 to the holders of
ATLANTIC's common shares on that date. Holders of additional common shares
after March 12, 1996 and prior to the expiration of the rights on March 12,
2006 will be entitled to one Purchase Right for each such additional common
share.
 
  Each Purchase Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to
purchase from ATLANTIC two one-hundredths of a share of non-redeemable Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of ATLANTIC, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of $40 per one one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. ATLANTIC
has designated two one-hundredths of the total shares of common stock
outstanding at any point in time as Participating Preferred Shares. Purchase
Rights are exercisable when a person or group of persons (other than certain
affiliates of ATLANTIC) acquire 20% or more of the outstanding ATLANTIC common
shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of the outstanding ATLANTIC
common shares. Under certain circumstances, each Purchase Right entitles the
holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a
number of ATLANTIC common shares having a market value of twice the Purchase
Right's exercise price. The acquisition of ATLANTIC pursuant to certain
mergers or other business transactions would entitle each holder to purchase,
at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market

Purchase Rights held by certain 20% shareholders (other than certain
affiliates of ATLANTIC) would not be exercisable. As of June 30, 1996,
ATLANTIC has no Participating Preferred Shares outstanding and the events
required to exercise the Purchase Rights have not occurred. Therefore, the
Purchase Rights dividend has no value and has not been recorded in the
financial statements.
 
 Initial Public Offering
 
  On June 28, 1996, ATLANTIC filed a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to its planned initial public
offering of $100 million of common shares (with an additional $15 million of
common shares issuable upon exercise of an overallotment option granted to the
underwriters). The shares are expected to be offered to the public later in
1996 through an underwritten offering managed by Goldman, Sachs & Co. Proceeds
of the offering will be used to repay borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350 million
line of credit.
 
NOTE 5--REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC has entered into a REIT management agreement with Security Capital
(Atlantic) Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), to provide REIT management
services to ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SCG,
which owns 64.1% of ATLANTIC's common shares.
 
  SCG Realty Services Atlantic Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services") began
managing properties for ATLANTIC on May 12, 1994 and currently manages
approximately 84% of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties. SCG owns 100% of SCG
Realty Services' voting shares. Rates for services performed by SCG Realty
Services are reviewed annually by a third party and are subject to approval by
ATLANTIC's independent Directors and are at rates prevailing in the markets in
which ATLANTIC operates.
 
NOTE 6--MERGER AGREEMENT
 
  In May 1996, ATLANTIC, Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"), SCG and a
newly-formed company, Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead") entered
into a merger agreement whereby ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG agreed to contribute
their respective Homestead Village assets (moderate priced, purpose-built,
extended-stay lodging facilities) to Homestead in exchange for common stock of
Homestead. ATLANTIC will contribute one Homestead Village property that began
operations in July 1996, 25 properties (or the rights to acquire such
properties) that are under construction or in various stages of development
and $18.6 million in cash to Homestead and ATLANTIC will receive 4,201,220
shares of Homestead common stock. Additionally, ATLANTIC and PTR have agreed
to enter into Funding Commitment Agreements with Homestead to finance the
completion of the Homestead Village properties contributed by them. For
entering into the Funding Commitment Agreement, ATLANTIC will receive
2,818,517 warrants, each to purchase one share of Homestead common stock. The
Homestead common stock and warrants received by ATLANTIC will be distributed,
pro rata, to ATLANTIC shareholders on the record date for the distribution.
Each warrant is exercisable at $10.00 per share and will expire one year after
the record date for the distribution described above.
 
  Under the Funding Commitment Agreement, ATLANTIC will provide secured
financing to Homestead of up to approximately $111 million. In return,
ATLANTIC will receive convertible mortgage notes in stated amounts of up to
approximately $98 million. The convertible mortgage notes will have a term of
approximately 10 years, will bear interest at 9% per annum, will not be
callable for five years and will be convertible at the option of the holder
into shares of Homestead common stock after

                    SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
             NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead common stock for every
$11.50 of principal amount outstanding. If the full amount of mortgages are
funded and converted, an additional 8,524,215 shares of Homestead common stock
would be issued to ATLANTIC. Assuming the full conversion of the convertible
mortgage notes and the exercise of all warrants, ATLANTIC and its shareholders
will own 28% of Homestead.
 
  The value of the warrants received for entering into the Funding Commitment
Agreement is estimated to be $6.5 million which will be recognized as deferred
commitment fee revenue at the time the warrants are received. The difference
between the funded amounts and the stated amounts of the convertible mortgage
notes of approximately $13 million will be recorded as a mortgage loan premium
when the notes are made. Both the deferred commitment fee revenue and the
mortgage loan premium will be amortized over the term of the convertible
mortgage loans as yield adjustments to interest income at such time as
ATLANTIC begins funding its obligation under the Funding Commitment Agreement.
The amortization of the deferred commitment fee revenue will increase interest
income while the amortization of the mortgage loan premium will decrease
interest income. The effective yield on the convertible mortgage loans,
assuming full conversion of the mortgage loans and exercise of all of the
Homestead warrants, is estimated to be 8.46%.
 
  The Homestead prospectus included with the ATLANTIC registration statement
contains more detailed information regarding the merger agreement. The merger
was approved by the respective shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR on September
13, 1996 and September 12, 1996, respectively. ATLANTIC expects the merger to
be consummated by the end of 1996.
 
NOTE 7--REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
  On September 10, 1996, the shareholders of ATLANTIC authorized a one-for-two
reverse stock split of ATLANTIC's common stock. A transfer from the common
shares account to additional paid-in capital was made to reflect the reduced
number of shares outstanding after the split. All references in the
accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated

are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our

  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 financial position of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the
period October 26, 1993 (inception) through December 31, 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the
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 set forth therein.

NOTE 1--DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Business
 
  Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") is an equity real estate
investment trust organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of
Maryland, which owns, acquires, develops and operates income-producing
multifamily properties in the southeastern United States.
 
  ATLANTIC was formed on October 26, 1993 (inception) and, accordingly, the
1993 statements of earnings and cash flows reflect the results of operations
and cash flows for the period from inception through December 31, 1993.
 
 Principles of Financial Presentation
 
  The accounts of ATLANTIC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are consolidated
in the accompanying financial statements. All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure 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.
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  ATLANTIC considers all cash on hand, demand deposits with financial
institutions and short-term, highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
 
 Real Estate and Depreciation
 
  Real estate is carried at cost, which is not in excess of net realizable
value. Costs directly related to the acquisition, renovation or development of
real estate are capitalized. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of
unsuccessful land or property acquisitions are expensed at the time the
pursuit is abandoned.
 
  Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Renovations and
improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful
lives.
 
  Depreciation is computed over the economic useful lives of depreciable
property on a straight-line basis. Properties are depreciated principally over
the following periods:

      Buildings and improvements.................................... 20-40 years
      Furnishings and other.........................................  2-10 years
</TABLE>
 
 Interest
 
  Periodically, ATLANTIC enters into swap agreements to manage its variable
interest rate exposure. Swap agreements are agreements to exchange interest
rate payment streams based on a notional principal amount. The net rate
differentials to be paid or received are recorded when earned as adjustments
to interest expense in calculating net earnings and funds from operations.
ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to the swap agreements. However, ATLANTIC does not anticipate
nonperformance by the counterparties.

                    SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  During 1995, 1994 and 1993, the total interest paid in cash on all
outstanding debt was $22,178,000, $9,120,000 and zero, respectively.
 
  ATLANTIC capitalizes interest as part of the cost of real estate projects
under development. Interest capitalized during 1995, 1994 and 1993 aggregated
$4,404,000, $793,000 and zero, respectively.
 
 Cost of Raising Capital
 
  Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of common shares are deducted
from shareholders' equity. Costs incurred in connection with the incurrence or
renewal of debt are capitalized, included with other assets and amortized over
the term of the related loan or renewal term. Amortization of deferred
financing costs included in interest expense for the years ended December 31,
1995, 1994 and 1993 totaled $1,568,000, $707,000 and zero, respectively.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Rental and interest income are recorded on the accrual method of accounting
for financial reporting and tax purposes. Gains on sales of real estate are
recorded when criteria required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate, have been met. A provision for
possible loss is made when collection of receivables is considered doubtful.
 
 Rental Expenses
 
  Rental expenses include utilities, repairs and maintenance, make-ready,
property insurance, marketing, landscaping, property management fees paid to
unaffiliated companies, on-site personnel and other administrative costs.
 
 Federal Income Taxes
 
  ATLANTIC has made an election to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. ATLANTIC believes it
qualifies as a real estate investment trust. Accordingly, no provisions have
been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.
 
 Per Share Data
 
  Per share data is computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares, par value $.01 per share, outstanding during the period. The share and
per share amounts included in the financial statements have been restated to
reflect the reverse stock split discussed in Note 9.
 
 Reclassifications
 
  Certain of the 1994 financial statements and notes to financial statements
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1995 presentation.

  At December 31, 1995, ATLANTIC had unfunded commitments for developments
under construction of $86.6 million, for a total completed construction cost
of $181.9 million. Costs for developments in planning shown above are
primarily for land acquisitions.
 
  During January 1996, ATLANTIC acquired two of the land parcels included in
"Developments in planning-Under control" as of December 31, 1995. These two
developments represent an estimated 469 units with an aggregate estimated
development cost of $23.8 million.

 Gains and Losses from Sales of Real Estate
 
  ATLANTIC develops and acquires multifamily properties with a view to
effective long-term operation and ownership. Based upon ATLANTIC's market
research and in an effort to optimize its portfolio allocation, ATLANTIC may
from time to time seek to dispose of assets that in management's view do not
meet ATLANTIC's long term investment criteria and redeploy the proceeds
therefrom, preferably through like-kind exchanges, into assets that it
believes provide better long-term growth opportunities. ATLANTIC disposed of
two properties in the fourth quarter of 1995. The proceeds from these
dispositions were not materially different from the book value of the assets
on the date of disposition.
 
  Properties are periodically evaluated for impairment and provisions for
possible losses are made if required. Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No.121, Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For
Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of, will be adopted by ATLANTIC, as required,
effective January 1, 1996. In the opinion of ATLANTIC's management, the
adoption of this accounting standard will not have a material impact on the
financial statements as of the date of adoption.
 
NOTE 3--LINE OF CREDIT AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE
 
 Line of Credit
 
  ATLANTIC has a $300 million revolving line of credit with Morgan Guaranty
Trust Company of New York, as agent for a group of lenders ("MGT"). Borrowings
bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 1.75% or the
certificate of deposit rate (as defined) plus 1.875%. Additionally, there is a
commitment fee of .1875% per annum on the average unfunded line of credit
balance. The line is collateralized by multifamily properties having an
aggregate undepreciated cost of $487,790,000 at December 31, 1995. Subsequent
to December 31, 1995, the line of credit agreement was amended to reduce the
interest on borrowings to LIBOR plus 1.50% or the certificate of deposit rate
(as defined) plus 1.625%.
 
  The MGT line of credit matures June 1997 and may be extended for one year
with the approval of MGT and other participating lenders. All debt incurrences
are subject to certain covenants, as set forth in the loan agreement. ATLANTIC
must maintain a debt to tangible net worth ratio of not greater than 2 to 1
and an adjusted net worth (as defined) of at least $325 million. ATLANTIC's
interest payment coverage (as defined) is required to be not less than 2 to 1.
Restricted payments or distributions (as defined) may not exceed 95% of
ATLANTIC's funds from operations (as defined) for the preceding four quarters.
ATLANTIC is in compliance with all such covenants.

  In August 1995, ATLANTIC entered into a swap agreement with Goldman Sachs
Capital Markets, L.P. covering $100 million of borrowings under the line of
credit. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC pays a fixed rate of interest of 7.71%. By entering into this
swap agreement, ATLANTIC has effectively mitigated a significant portion of
the variable interest rate exposure associated with the line of credit.

(1) Interest and principal payments due monthly; balloon payment of $1,845,000
    due at maturity.
(2) These properties, in addition to others, are held by Security Capital
    Atlantic Multifamily Incorporated, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ATLANTIC.
    Security Capital Atlantic Multifamily Incorporated is a legal entity that
    is separate and distinct from ATLANTIC with separate assets and
    liabilities and business operations.
(3) ATLANTIC has a thirty-year credit enhancement agreement with the Federal
    National Mortgage Association related to eight tax exempt bond issues.
    This credit enhancement agreement requires ATLANTIC to make monthly
    payments on each mortgage, based upon a thirty-year amortization, into a
    principal reserve account.
(4) Interest rate is fixed through swap agreements executed in conjunction
    with the credit enhancement agreement with the Federal National Mortgage
    Association discussed below.
 
  ATLANTIC has effectively mitigated its variable interest rate exposure by
entering into swap agreements covering seven variable rate bond issues
included in ATLANTIC's credit enhancement agreement with the Federal National
Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae"). Under these swap agreements, ATLANTIC
pays and receives interest on the aggregate principal amount of the underlying
bonds outstanding, net of the amount held in the principal reserve account.
These agreements effectively change ATLANTIC's variable interest rate exposure
on the $23.1 million of bonds included in the seven-year swap agreement with
General Re Financial Products Corporation to a fixed interest rate of 5.18%
(excluding the cost of the credit enhancement agreement) and to a fixed
interest rate of 5.42% (excluding the cost of the credit enhancement
agreement) on the $64.6 million of bonds included in the ten-year swap
agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. The annual weighted
average interest rate received by ATLANTIC under the swap agreement was 3.89%.
To the extent the deposits in the principal reserve account have not been used
to redeem any of the outstanding bonds, ATLANTIC pays interest at the variable
rates as provided by the mortgage agreements on that portion of bonds
outstanding which is equivalent to the balance in the principal reserve fund.
In 1995, the interest paid under the swap agreements was $575,000 greater than
the interest received.
 
  The mortgages that secure the tax exempt bond issues contain certain
covenants which require that a minimum percentage of units (generally 20% to
30%) be rented to individuals whose income does not exceed levels specified by
U.S. Government programs. The Fannie Mae credit enhancement agreement contains
additional covenants. ATLANTIC is in compliance with all such covenants.
 
  Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at December 31, 1995 of
$23,342,000 and $172,079,000 serves as collateral for the conventional
mortgages payable and the tax exempt mortgages, respectively. Based on
prevailing market borrowing rates, the fair value of the mortgages payable was
not materially different from the book value at December 31, 1995.
 
  The change in mortgages payable for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994 (none in 1993) is as follows (in thousands):

  ATLANTIC's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1995 has not been
filed. The taxability information for 1995 is based upon the best available
data. ATLANTIC's tax returns have not been examined by the Internal Revenue
Service and, therefore, the taxability of dividends is subject to change.
 
NOTE 5--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
 
 Shares Authorized
 
  At December 31, 1995, 250,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01
per share, were authorized. ATLANTIC's Board of Directors may classify or
reclassify any shares of ATLANTIC's stock from time to time by setting or
changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications and terms or
conditions of redemption of such shares. No such shares have been reclassified
and none are issued or outstanding.
 
 Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder
 
  ATLANTIC's Articles of Incorporation restrict beneficial ownership (or
ownership generally attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of
ATLANTIC's outstanding common shares by a single person, or persons acting as
a group, to 9.8% of ATLANTIC's common shares.

                    SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  The purpose of this provision is to assist in protecting and preserving
ATLANTIC's REIT status and to protect the interest of shareholders in takeover
transactions by preventing the acquisition of a substantial block of shares
unless the acquiror makes a cash tender offer for all outstanding shares. For
ATLANTIC to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, not more than 50% in value of its outstanding capital shares may be
owned by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of
ATLANTIC's taxable year. The provision permits five persons to individually
acquire up to a maximum of 9.8% each of the common shares, or an aggregate of
49% of the outstanding common shares and, thus, assists the Directors in
protecting and preserving ATLANTIC's REIT status for tax purposes.
 
  Common shares owned by a person or group of persons in excess of these
limits are subject to redemption by ATLANTIC. The provision does not apply
where a majority of the Board of Directors, in its sole and absolute
discretion, waives such limit after determining that the status of ATLANTIC as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes will not be jeopardized or the
disqualification of ATLANTIC as a REIT is advantageous to the shareholders.
 
  The Board of Directors has permitted Security Capital Group Incorporated
("Security Capital Group"), an affiliate of the REIT Manager (see Note 6) to
acquire more than the stated maximum percentage of shares. Security Capital
Group owned 71.6% of the outstanding common shares at December 31, 1995. For
tax purposes, Security Capital Group's ownership is attributed to its
shareholders.
 
 Capital Offerings
 
  ATLANTIC completed a private offering in August 1994 in order to attain the
100 shareholders necessary to obtain REIT qualification. In the offering,
500,000 shares were offered at a price of $20.00 per share. All shares were
subscribed for by 125 persons and were purchased as of August 31, 1994.
 
  ATLANTIC exchanged 5,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $20 per
share as partial consideration for the acquisition of a pool of properties in
May 1994. The acquisition price was negotiated prior to the seller becoming a
related party. To facilitate ATLANTIC's transactions with the seller, Security
Capital Group granted the seller certain rights to require Security Capital
Group to purchase the 5,000,000 ATLANTIC shares owned by the seller at pre-
agreed prices (the "Put Obligation").
 
  In the second quarter of 1995, ATLANTIC completed a private offering of
7,272,728 shares at $22.00 per share for an aggregate offering price of $160
million. In consideration for Security Capital Group purchasing $95 million of
shares in this offering, and to permit greater participation by other
investors in this offering, ATLANTIC assumed Security Capital Group's first
Put Obligation to purchase $55 million of ATLANTIC shares owned by the holder
of the Put Obligation. ATLANTIC purchased 2,500,000 shares on March 31, 1995
at $22.00 per share with a portion of the net proceeds from this offering.
 
  ATLANTIC began a private offering in the fourth quarter of 1995. In
connection with this offering ATLANTIC sold 5,695,515 shares; 4,445,515 shares
at $23.00 per share and 1,250,000 shares at $23.136 per share, for an
aggregate total of $131.2 million. In consideration for Security Capital
Group's purchase of $50 million of shares in this offering, ATLANTIC assumed
Security Capital Group's Put Obligation and purchased $28.9 million of
ATLANTIC shares owned by the holder of the Put Obligation; 1,250,000 shares at
$23.136 per share.

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  In December 1995, the holder of the Put Obligation provided notice of its
intent to require Security Capital Group to purchase the remaining Put
Obligation on June 30, 1996. The remaining Put Obligation consists of
1,250,000 shares at $24.53 per share.
 
 Merger/Share Conversion
 
  On April 22, 1994, ATLANTIC, which was previously a Delaware corporation,
was merged with and into a newly formed Maryland corporation so as to change
ATLANTIC's state of domicile to Maryland. Each issued and outstanding ATLANTIC
share was converted into two hundred (200) shares in such merger. All share
and per share information in the financial statements have been adjusted to
retroactively reflect the share conversion. An amount equal to the par value
of the shares issued was transferred from additional paid-in capital to the
common share account.
 
NOTE 6--REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Effective June 30, 1995, ATLANTIC entered into an amended and restated REIT
management agreement (the "REIT Management Agreement") with Security Capital
(Atlantic) Incorporated (the "REIT Manager") to provide management services to
ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager is a subsidiary of Security Capital Group (see Note
5). All officers of ATLANTIC are employees of the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC
has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day
management of ATLANTIC, including research, investment analysis, acquisition
and development, asset management, capital markets and legal and accounting
services.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement requires ATLANTIC to pay an annual fee of 16%
of cash flow, as defined in the REIT Management Agreement ("Cash Flow"). Cash
Flow is calculated by reference to ATLANTIC's cash flow from operations before
deducting (i) fees paid to the REIT Manager, (ii) extraordinary expenses
incurred at the request of the independent Directors of ATLANTIC, and (iii)
33% of any interest paid by ATLANTIC on convertible subordinated debentures
(of which ATLANTIC has none); and, after deducting (i) regularly scheduled
principal payments (excluding prepayments or balloon payments) for debt with
commercially reasonable amortization schedules, (ii) assumed principal and
interest payments on senior unsecured debt treated as having regularly
scheduled principal and interest payments like a 20-year level-payment, fully
amortizing mortgage (of which ATLANTIC has none) and (iii) distributions
actually paid with respect to any non-convertible preferred stock of ATLANTIC
(of which ATLANTIC has none).
 
  Cash Flow does not include realized gains or losses from dispositions of
investments or income from cash equivalent investments. The REIT Manager also
receives a fee of .20% per year on the average daily balance of cash
equivalent investments.
 
  ATLANTIC will also reimburse the REIT Manager for third-party and out-of-
pocket expenses relating to travel, transaction costs, and similar costs
relating to the acquisition, development or disposition of assets or the
obtaining of financing for ATLANTIC and its operations. The REIT Manager will
pay all of its own salary and other overhead expenses. ATLANTIC will not have
any employee expense; however, it will pay all of the third-party costs
related to its normal operations, including legal, accounting, travel,
architectural, engineering, shareholder relations, unaffiliated directors fees
and similar expenses.
 
  The REIT Management Agreement is renewable by ATLANTIC annually, subject to
a determination by the independent Directors that the REIT Manager's
performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable to the
REIT Manager is fair. ATLANTIC may terminate the REIT Management Agreement on
60-days notice. Because of the year-to-year nature of the
 
                                     F-27

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)
agreement, its maximum effect on ATLANTIC's results of operations cannot be
predicted, other than that REIT management fees will generally increase or
decrease in proportion to cash flow increases or decreases.
 
  SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("Realty Services") began managing
properties for ATLANTIC on May 12, 1994 and currently manages approximately
82% of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties. Security Capital Group owns 100% of
Realty Services' voting shares.
 
  The property management agreement, like the REIT Management Agreement, is
renewable annually and subject to the approval of ATLANTIC's independent
Directors. The property management agreement can be terminated by ATLANTIC on
30-days notice. Rates for services performed by Realty Services are subject to
approval by ATLANTIC's independent Directors and are at rates prevailing in
the markets in which ATLANTIC operates.

NOTE 8--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  ATLANTIC is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. ATLANTIC does not believe that the claims and
litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position, or results of operations.
 
  ATLANTIC is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development, and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence procedures, ATLANTIC has conducted Phase I environmental assessments
on each property prior to acquisition. The cost of complying with
environmental regulations was not material to ATLANTIC's results of
operations. ATLANTIC is not aware of any environmental condition on any of its
properties which is likely to have a material adverse effect on ATLANTIC's
financial position or results of operations.
 
NOTE 9--REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
 
  On September 10, 1996, the shareholders of ATLANTIC authorized a one-for-two
reverse stock split of ATLANTIC's common stock. A transfer from the common
shares account to additional paid-in capital was made to reflect the reduced
number of shares outstanding after the split. All references in the
accompanying financial statements to the number of common shares and per share
amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

                       SUMMARY OF PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
 
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
  The accompanying pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 reflects: (i)
the acquisition and disposition of properties subsequent to June 30, 1996 as
if the properties had been acquired or disposed of as of that date; (ii) the
assumption of mortgage debt associated with the acquisition of a property
subsequent to June 30, 1996 as if the mortgage debt had been assumed as of
that date; (iii) the sale of $104.4 million of ATLANTIC Common Stock in this
Offering (4,350,000 shares at $24.00 per share), net of estimated costs of
issuance of $7.2 million, as if those shares had been sold as of June 30,
1996; and, (iv) the spin-off of the Homestead Village properties as if the
Mergers had occurred as of June 30, 1996. For pro forma purposes, the proceeds
from the sale of ATLANTIC Common Stock in this Offering have been used to
repay pro forma borrowings on ATLANTIC's line of credit.
 
  The accompanying unaudited pro forma statements of earnings for the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995 of
ATLANTIC reflect: (i) the acquisition and disposition by ATLANTIC of all
properties acquired or disposed of since December 31, 1994 as if these
properties had been acquired or disposed of as of January 1, 1995; (ii) the
assumption or retirement of mortgage debt associated with the acquisition or
disposition of the properties acquired or disposed of since December 31, 1994
as if this mortgage debt had been assumed or retired on January 1, 1995; (iii)
the sale of ATLANTIC Common Stock through private placement subsequent to
December 31, 1994, necessary to fund pro forma acquisitions, as if the shares
had been issued on January 1, 1995; (iv) the sale of $104.4 million of
ATLANTIC Common Stock in this Offering (4,350,000 shares at $24.00 per share),
net of estimated costs of issuance of $7.2 million; (v) the spin-off of the
Homestead Village properties as if the Mergers had been consummated on January
1, 1995; and, (vi) certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial
statements of ATLANTIC. For pro forma purposes, the proceeds from the sale of
ATLANTIC Common Stock in this Offering have been used to repay pro forma
borrowings on ATLANTIC's line of credit.
 
  The unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared by
management of ATLANTIC and do not purport to be indicative of the results
which would actually have been obtained had the transactions described above
been completed on the dates indicated or which may be obtained in the future.
The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of ATLANTIC included elsewhere herein.

</TABLE>
- --------
(1) Oaks at Sandy Springs was sold at a gain of $0.7 million.
(2) Lenox Villa is under contract and is expected to be disposed of on
    September 23, 1996. A gain of approximately $1.0 million will be
    recognized on the disposition.
 
  (b) Reflects the application of cash on hand and additional borrowings under
ATLANTIC's line of credit to fund the Country Oaks acquisition described in
note (a). Additionally, reflects ATLANTIC's expected assumption of a
$6,010,000 mortgage note payable upon the purchase of the Country Oaks
property. For pro forma purposes, the net proceeds from the disposition of
Oaks at Sandy Springs and Lenox Villa has been reflected in other assets in
the accompanying pro forma balance sheet pending the consummation of tax-
deferred exchanges involving these properties.
 
  (c) Reflects the proposed issuance of 4,350,000 common shares ($.01 par
value) at a price of $24.00 per share. The total proceeds of $104.4 million,
net of estimated costs of issuance of $7.2 million, results in $97.2 million
of cash available which, for pro forma purposes, have been assumed to be used
to repay the pro forma borrowings under ATLANTIC's line of credit.
 
  (d) The Mergers will be recorded by ATLANTIC as a sale of its Homestead
Village properties to PTR at fair market value. Estimated fair market value
for all parties in the Mergers is based on the estimated relative fair value
of the net assets received by Homestead as used in determining the relative
ownership percentage of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG in Homestead. The methodology
used was based upon the present values of the cash flows of the contributions
made by each such party. ATLANTIC will recognize the Homestead Distribution as
a reduction of shareholders' equity.
 
  Since PTR will own over 50% of Homestead immediately after the Mergers, the
Mergers will be recorded by PTR as (i) the formation of Homestead as a wholly-
owned subsidiary into which the PTR-Homestead Village Group assets will be
transferred at historical cost; (ii) the acquisition of Homestead Village net
assets of ATLANTIC and SCG (at fair value) for the Homestead common stock and
warrants using the purchase method of accounting; and (iii) a reduction of
shareholders' equity to reflect the distribution of the Homestead common stock
and warrants owned by PTR to PTR's shareholders. The historical financial
statements of PTR-Homestead Village Group will become the predecessor of
Homestead and the operations of the SCG-Homestead Village Group and the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group will be included from the date of
acquisition. For a description of certain terms used in this paragraph, refer
to the ATLANTIC Prospectus. The adjustment reflects consummation of the Merger
Agreement and spin-off of ATLANTIC's Homestead Village net assets as if the
closing of the Homestead transaction, contemplated in the Merger Agreement,
had occurred on January 1, 1995 as follows:

                    SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED
 
             NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
  1) Elimination of the results of operations of ATLANTIC's Homestead Village
  properties from the historical financial statements of ATLANTIC for the six
  months ended June 30, 1996 and the year ended December 31, 1995.
 
  2) Elimination of the Homestead Village net assets as of June 30, 1996.
 
  3) ATLANTIC's receipt of 4,201,220 shares of Homestead common stock with a
  value of $51,699,000 in exchange for ATLANTIC's contribution to Homestead.
  The value of the Homestead common stock was calculated to be approximately
  $12.31 per share (the "Assumed Value"). The Assumed Value is based solely
  on the estimated fair market value of the net assets contributed by
  ATLANTIC, PTR and SCG. This per share amount is not intended as an
  indication of the price at which shares of Homestead common stock may
  actually trade and no assurance can be given as to the price at which the
  shares of Homestead common stock will trade. ATLANTIC's contribution
  consists of Homestead Village net assets as of June 30, 1996 of
  $19,029,000, the Homestead Village assets expected to be acquired prior to
  the Merger Closing Date of $9,973,000 and cash of $18,621,000. ATLANTIC's
  contribution totals $47,623,000. The $9,973,000 of Homestead assets that
  ATLANTIC will contribute consists of land acquisitions subsequent to June
  30, 1996 of $9,028,000 and development costs to be incurred from June 30,
  1996 to the Merger Closing Date of $945,000.
 
  4) ATLANTIC's receipt of 2,818,517 Homestead warrants valued at the
  difference between the Assumed Value and the Homestead warrant exercise
  price in consideration for ATLANTIC entering into the Funding Commitment
  Agreement with Homestead. The value of the Homestead warrants represents
  commitment fee revenue which is deferred at June 30, 1996. This commitment
  fee revenue will be recognized over the life of the loan(s) as a yield
  adjustment to interest income at such time as ATLANTIC begins funding its
  obligation under its Funding Commitment Agreement.
 
  5) The additional borrowings under ATLANTIC's line of credit necessary to
  finance ATLANTIC's contribution to Homestead as of January 1, 1995.
 
  6) Additional interest expense and a corresponding reduction in the REIT
  management fee resulting from (i) the additional pro forma borrowings of
  $28,594,000 and (ii) the $19,029,000 of borrowings that financed the
  Homestead Village net assets contributed by ATLANTIC. Interest related to
  the $19,029,000 of borrowings was capitalized in ATLANTIC's historical
  financial statements. ATLANTIC's current interest rate is 7.24%.
 
  7) The special dividend to ATLANTIC shareholders of all of the Homestead
  common stock and Homestead warrants to be received by ATLANTIC under the
  Merger Agreement. The difference between the $51,699,000 of Homestead
  common stock received and ATLANTIC's basis in the assets contributed to
  Homestead of $47,623,000 is reflected as a gain of $4,076,000 in
  "Distributions in excess of net earnings" in the accompanying pro forma
  balance sheet as of June 30, 1996.
 
  (e) The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the funding of
ATLANTIC's obligation of approximately $111,000,000 under the Funding
Commitment Agreement or receipt of the related convertible mortgage notes of
approximately $98,000,000, as this funding is related to future development
costs of the properties contributed to Homestead. The convertible mortgage
notes will be recorded at a premium of approximately $13,000,000. The
convertible mortgage notes bear interest at 9% per annum, mature on October
31, 2006, are not callable for five years and are convertible at the option of
ATLANTIC into one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of
principal amount outstanding, subject to antidilution adjustments. The
effective interest rate on the convertible mortgage notes is 8.46% after
giving effect to the amortization or accretion of the mortgage note premium,
the conversion privilege value and the value of the Homestead warrants, on a
fully funded basis.

  This adjustment reflects historical: 1) gross income, 2) rental expenses,
and 3) mortgage interest on mortgage debt assumed, if applicable, for all
properties acquired, subsequent to December 31, 1994 for the period January 1,
1995 to the earlier of the respective dates of acquisition, December 31, 1995
or June 30, 1996, as applicable (results of operations after the date of
acquisition are included in ATLANTIC's historical operating results). Reflects
removal from ATLANTIC's historical balances of: 1) gross income, 2) rental

(i) Includes property management fees and real estate taxes.
(ii) Represents incremental income and expense adjustments necessary to
     reconcile the 1994 audited results with the 1995 actual results.
(iii) Represents fourth quarter 1995 actual results which are added to the
      audited results for the nine months ended September 30, 1995. This
      adjustment is necessary to present twelve months of information for
      Group B properties.
 
  (g) Reflects the difference for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996
between historical property management fee expense and ATLANTIC's pro forma
property management fee expense.
 
  (h) Reflects pro forma interest expense for the six-month period ended June
30, 1996 on the two mortgage notes assumed or to be assumed in connection with
property acquisitions in 1996. The interest rates on the mortgage notes varies
from 7.655% to 8.0%.
 
  (i) Reflects the removal of depreciation expense recognized on properties
disposed of subsequent to December 31, 1994 which is included in ATLANTIC's
historical balances.
 
  (j) Reflects depreciation expense for the six-month period ended June 30,
1996 for the properties acquired in the first six months of 1996 or to be
acquired. This depreciation adjustment is based on ATLANTIC's purchase cost
assuming asset lives of 10 to 40 years. Depreciation is computed using a
straight-line method.

                    SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED

  (k) Reflects the additional REIT management fee that would have been
incurred in the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 had the pro forma
property acquisitions and the pro forma paydown on the line of credit all
occurred on January 1, 1995.
 
  (l) Reflects the difference for the year ended December 31, 1995 between
historical make-ready expense and ATLANTIC's pro forma make-ready expense.
Make-ready expense includes renovation costs that are incurred when a unit
turns the first time in order to prepare an apartment unit for tenancy by a
resident after a prior resident has moved out and typically includes such
costs as interior painting and carpet repair and replacement. During the
period after acquisition when a property is being renovated and repositioned
in order to meet ATLANTIC's standards and is classified as pre-stabilized, it
is ATLANTIC's policy to capitalize make-ready expense. The pro forma make-
ready expense adjustment reflects the capitalization of make-ready expense
that would have occurred had the properties acquired subsequent to December
31, 1994 been acquired on January 1, 1995. Capitalized make-ready costs
increase the recorded basis of the property and are depreciated over ten
years.
 
  (m) Reflects the difference for the year ended December 31, 1995 between
historical property management fee expense and ATLANTIC's pro forma property
management fee expense.
 
  (n) Reflects pro forma interest expense on mortgage notes payable assumed or
to be assumed subsequent to December 31, 1994 as if these mortgages were
assumed by ATLANTIC on January 1, 1995. The interest rates on the mortgage
notes varies from 5.98% to 8.0%.
 
  (o) Reflects depreciation expense from January 1, 1995 through the
acquisition date for all properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1994
(depreciation expense after the date of acquisition is included in ATLANTIC's
historical operating results). This depreciation adjustment is based on
ATLANTIC's purchase cost assuming asset lives of 10 to 40 years. Depreciation
is computed using a straight-line method.
 
  (p) Reflects the additional REIT management fee that would have been
incurred in 1995 had the pro forma property acquisitions subsequent to
December 31, 1994 and the pro forma paydowns on the line of credit all
occurred on January 1, 1995.
 
  (q) The number of shares used in the calculation of the pro forma per share
data was based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period adjusted to give effect to common shares assumed to have
been issued on January 1, 1995 as necessary to complete the pro forma property
acquisitions which are all assumed to have been financed with equity proceeds
to the extent mortgage debt was not assumed and to make the pro forma paydowns
on the line of credit.
 
  (r) Represents the reduction to interest expense resulting from the pro
forma paydowns of outstanding debt. The interest reduction is calculated using
the weighted average daily interest rate for the applicable period (7.42% for
1996 and 7.92% for 1995).

                 NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS
               INCOME AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES--(CONTINUED)
 
 Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of the combined Historical Summary in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined Historical
Summary and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
 Unaudited Interim Historical Summary
 
  The combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating
Expenses for the period from January 1, 1995 through the earlier of June 30,
1995 or the Date of Acquisition is unaudited. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such combined Historical
Summary have been included. The results of operations for the period are not
necessarily indicative of the Group A Properties future results of operations.
 
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Management fees of $601,533 and $334,262 (unaudited) were paid to affiliates
of the prior owners under property management contracts in 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
 
4. DEBT ASSUMPTION
 
  The Company assumed outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition of
Country Place Village I and WintersCreek.
 
 Country Place Village I
 
  A 7.75% mortgage note with an outstanding balance of $2,051,078 at July 20,
1995 (the date of acquisition) was assumed by the Company. The note, which is
secured by the property, matures on November 1, 2000. The mortgage note
provides for monthly principal and interest payments of $15,862 through
maturity and for a balloon payment of $1,844,613 at maturity.
 
  The mortgage note had an outstanding balance of $2,068,822 at December 31,
1994 and $2,051,078 (unaudited) at June 30, 1995. The Company's assumption of
this mortgage note did not provide for any modification to the original terms,
therefore, interest expense incurred prior to the Company's assumption is
representative of future interest expense. Accordingly, interest expense of
$159,253 for 1994 and $79,905 (unaudited) for 1995 is recognized in the
accompanying combined Historical Summary.
 
 WintersCreek
 
  A variable rate mortgage note securing a $5,000,000 tax-exempt bond issue
was assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of WintersCreek
on August 1, 1995. The mortgage note, which is secured by the property,
provides for monthly interest payments at the variable rate with the principal
amount of the bonds due at maturity on October 1, 2004.
 
  Subsequent to the debt assumption, the Company obtained a swap agreement
which provides for interest payments on a fixed rate. On a continuing basis,
the interest expense incurred will differ from the amounts incurred prior to
the Company's assumption of the debt. Accordingly, no interest expense is
recognized in the accompanying combined Historical Summary.

considered to be direct operating expenses.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Rental income from leasing activities consist of lease payments earned from
tenants under lease agreements with terms of one year or less.
 
 Capitalization Policy
 
  Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major
replacements and betterments are capitalized.
 
 Advertising Expense
 
  The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.
 
 Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of the combined Historical Summary in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined Historical
Summary and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

                 NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS
               INCOME AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES--(CONTINUED)
 
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Management fees of $283,974 were paid to affiliates of the prior owners
under property management contracts.
 
4. DEBT ASSUMPTION
 
  The Company assumed outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition of
Cameron Station and Azalea Park.
 
 Cameron Station
 
  A 6% fixed rate mortgage note securing a $14,500,000 tax-exempt bond issue
was assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Cameron
Station on December 19, 1995. The mortgage note, which is secured by the
property, provides for monthly interest payments with the amount of the bonds
due at maturity on June 1, 2007.
 
  The Company's assumption of this mortgage note did not provide for any
modification to the original terms, therefore, interest expense incurred prior
to the Company's assumption is representative of future interest expense.
Accordingly, interest expense of $652,500 is recognized in the accompanying
combined Historical Summary.
 
 Azalea Park
 
  A 12.76% mortgage note securing a $15,500,000 tax-exempt bond issue was
assumed by the Company in connection with the acquisition of Azalea Park on
November 9, 1995. The mortgage note, which is secured by the property,
provides for monthly interest payments with the principal amount of the bonds
due at maturity on February 1, 2008.
 
  The Company intends to include this bond issue in its existing credit
enhancement agreement which will result in a reduction to the 12.76% interest
rate. On a continuing basis, the interest expense incurred will differ from
the amounts incurred prior to the Company's assumption of the debt.
Accordingly, no interest expense is recognized in the accompanying combined
Historical Summary.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Management fees of $228,903 were paid to affiliates of the prior owners

4. DEBT ASSUMPTION
 
  During 1995, the Cameron at Hickory Grove Apartments secured an 8.75%,
interest-only mortgage note with a balance of $6,660,000. The Company assumed
this mortgage note on April 10, 1996 in connection with the acquisition of the
property. Substantial modifications in the terms of the note were made prior
to the assumption by the Company. Therefore, on a continuing basis, the
interest expense incurred will differ from the amounts incurred prior to the
Company's assumption of the debt. Accordingly, no interest expense is
recognized in the accompanying combined Historical Summary.

                                    SUMMARY
 
  The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the detailed
information appearing elsewhere in the ATLANTIC Prospectus, including this
Prospectus. Shareholders are urged to review the entire ATLANTIC Prospectus,
including this Prospectus. All references to Homestead Village Incorporated's
operations include PTR, ATLANTIC and Security Capital Group Incorporated
("SCG") operations with respect to Homestead Village(R) properties. Homestead
Village(R) is a registered trademark of SCG, which will be assigned to
Homestead as a part of the Transaction. The term "Homestead Village" as used
herein shall include a reference to such registered trademark. All references
to the ATLANTIC initial public offering of shares of ATLANTIC Common Stock (the
"ATLANTIC IPO") assumes no exercise of the Underwriters' over-allotment option.
Unless otherwise indicated, all ATLANTIC share and per share amounts have been
adjusted to give effect to ATLANTIC's one-for-two reverse stock split, which
was effective on September 10, 1996.
 
                         HOMESTEAD VILLAGE INCORPORATED
 
  The first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992 by PTR. Since then,
PTR has developed and placed into operation 27 additional Homestead Village
properties and ATLANTIC has developed and placed into operation one Homestead
Village property. Homestead was organized in January 1996 to continue the
operations of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG with respect to their respective moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging facilities. Homestead will develop, own and
manage moderate priced, extended-stay lodging facilities designed to appeal to
value-conscious customers on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or in
training.
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging
business. Homestead expects to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead operated 29 facilities, had begun construction
of 18 additional facilities and had an additional 33 properties in pre-
development planning, for a total of 80 properties. Homestead is currently
processing entitlements on 39 additional sites it has under contract, which, if
acquired, would bring Homestead's total number of properties completed or under
development to 119. In addition, its development staff of 55 professionals is
currently reviewing additional development opportunities in 29 cities. The term
"in pre-development planning" means developments owned or under control (land
which is under control through contingent contract) with construction
anticipated to commence within 12 months. Homestead's facilities are designed
and built to uniform plans developed by Homestead. Homestead expects to have a
total of 31 facilities operational and 41 facilities under construction by the
end of 1996 and plans to continue an active development program thereafter.
Homestead's plans call for the average facility to have approximately 136
extended-stay rooms and take approximately eight to ten months to construct.
 
  The average length of stay for a customer is in excess of four weeks. For the
eight months ended August 31, 1996, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for 20 stabilized properties were 83% and $213 per week,
respectively, and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and
 
                                      A-2
<PAGE>
 
weekly rate for nine pre-stabilized properties were 69% and $227 per week,
respectively. Homestead categorizes its operating properties (which include all
properties not under construction or in pre-development planning) as either
"stabilized" or "pre-stabilized." The term "stabilized" means that construction
has been completed and management and marketing programs have been in place for
a sufficient period of time (but in no event longer than 12 months) to achieve
an 80% occupancy level for five consecutive weeks at market rates. Prior to
being "stabilized", an operating property is considered to be "pre-stabilized".
All operating properties have been newly developed by Homestead.
 
  Homestead believes that it is distinguished from its competitors in the
moderate priced, extended-stay lodging business in several respects.
 
  . Homestead has been developing and operating moderate priced, extended-
    stay facilities since 1992. It has in place a staff of 66 professionals
    who have substantial experience in the real estate and lodging industries
    and has 318 site-level employees. Most of these individuals were
    previously employed by affiliates of SCG which operated and managed the
    Homestead Village properties on behalf of PTR and ATLANTIC in similar
    capacities to those they will have with Homestead.
 
  . Homestead currently operates 29 facilities in eight cities and will
    operate nationally. It expects to have 31 facilities in eight cities
    operating by the end of 1996.
 
  . Homestead has access to substantial financing through (i) the Funding
    Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC (described herein), under
    which PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to provide funding of $129 million and
    $111 million, respectively, and to receive convertible mortgage notes of
    $144 million and $98 million, respectively, in respect thereof and (ii)
    the Investor Agreement with SCG (described herein) under which SCG has
    agreed to exercise upon notice from Homestead all of the Homestead
    Warrants it will receive directly and indirectly as part of the
    Transaction (as defined below) with an aggregate exercise price of
    approximately $48 million. This access to capital should provide
    Homestead with sufficient capital to fund its national development
    program through mid-1997 without having to seek additional external
    financing.
 
  . Homestead is affiliated with SCG, which will be the principal shareholder
    of Homestead and will be entitled to representation on the board of
    directors of Homestead (the "Homestead Board"). Homestead will be self-
    managed but will have access to various services which SCG offers to its
    real estate affiliates. These and other services will be available to
    Homestead under an Administrative Services Agreement (described herein).
    See "Business--Administrative Services Agreement". Homestead believes
    that it can purchase these services from SCG at a price which would be
    less expensive than hiring the necessary personnel to perform these
    services, and that the level of services SCG can provide would be higher
    than Homestead could provide internally due to SCG's large, experienced
    staff and economies of scale.
 
  Homestead was formed in 1996 as a Maryland corporation and will operate as a
Subchapter C corporation. Its executive offices are located at 125 Lincoln
Avenue, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87501 and its telephone number is (505) 982-9292.
 
                                THE TRANSACTION
 
  Assuming that the conditions to the Merger and Distribution Agreement, dated
as of May 21, 1996 (the "Merger Agreement" and, collectively with all of the
transactions contemplated thereby and the Distribution, the "Transaction"),
among PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG and Homestead, have been satisfied or waived, each of
PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG will contribute, through a series of merger transactions
(the "Mergers"), all of their respective assets related to Homestead Village
properties in return for
 
                                      A-3
<PAGE>
 
shares of Homestead Common Stock and Homestead Warrants as follows:
 
  . PTR will contribute 54 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 9,485,727 shares of Homestead
    Common Stock.
 
  . ATLANTIC will contribute 26 properties (or the rights to acquire such
    properties) to Homestead in exchange for 4,201,220 shares of Homestead
    Common Stock. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC will provide an
    estimated cash payment of $18.6 million to Homestead at the date of the
    closing of the Mergers (the "Closing Date"). This payment is required
    because ATLANTIC's Homestead Village properties are in earlier stages of
    development than PTR's Homestead Village properties, therefore ATLANTIC
    has not funded the same percentage of total costs as PTR. This payment
    also assures that ATLANTIC receives all of its shares of Homestead Common
    Stock at the Closing Date rather than being received in smaller
    increments over time as funds are expended for Homestead Village
    properties contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
  . SCG will contribute to Homestead its anticipated future cash flows from
    the PTR and ATLANTIC real estate investment trust ("REIT") management
    agreements and property management agreements relating to the Homestead
    Village properties in exchange for 1,819,750 shares of Homestead Common
    Stock, not including 2,243,038 shares which will be placed in escrow and
    released as funds are advanced under the Funding Commitment Agreements.
    In addition, SCG will contribute the Homestead Village trademark and the
    operating system. No separate consideration was attributed to the
    Homestead Village trademark or the operating system, as the trademark and
    operating system would be necessary to achieve the anticipated fees.
    There are additional Homestead Village facilities which are in early
    stages of planning, but which are not owned or under control and are not
    included in the 80 facilities which will be contributed in the
    Transaction, and are being planned and developed outside the target
    markets of PTR and ATLANTIC by SCG with its own funds. SCG will
    contribute the rights to certain properties to Homestead for no
    additional consideration.
 
  . Simultaneous with the transactions described above, PTR and ATLANTIC will
    receive 6,363,789 and 2,818,517 Homestead Warrants, respectively, in
    exchange for their entering into the Funding Commitment Agreements. Each
    Homestead Warrant is exercisable at $10.00 per share and expires one year
    after the Distribution Record Date.
 
  . Pursuant to the applicable Funding Commitment Agreement, PTR and ATLANTIC
    will agree to provide secured financing to Homestead of up to $129
    million and $111 million, respectively, and to receive convertible
    mortgage notes in respect thereof. These notes will have a term of
    approximately ten years, will bear interest at 9% per annum, will not be
    callable for five years and will be convertible into shares of Homestead
    Common Stock after March 31, 1997 on the basis of one share of Homestead
    Common Stock for every $11.50 of principal amount outstanding, subject to
    antidilution adjustments. The PTR mortgage loans and ATLANTIC mortgage
    loans will be used to finance the acquisition and development of
    properties contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively. In addition,
    PTR subsidiaries currently have $77,289,000 in convertible mortgage loans
    with PTR which will be assumed by Homestead at the Closing Date. These
    loans have substantially the same terms as the mortgage loans described
    above. If all such mortgage loans were made and converted, an additional
    19,246,402 and 8,524,215 shares of Homestead Common Stock would be issued
    to PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
  . SCG will receive 817,694 Homestead Warrants in exchange for providing
    funding to Homestead during the time between the execution of the Merger
    Agreement and the Closing Date and the use of office facilities for one
    year.
 
                                      A-4
<PAGE>
 
 
  . The relative percentage ownership interests of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG in
    Homestead, giving effect to the issuance of the Homestead Common Stock at
    the Closing Date, the exercise of all Homestead Warrants and the
    conversion of all mortgage loans outstanding and which could be made
    under the Funding Commitment Agreements, would be 63.21%, 28.00% and
    8.79%, respectively (before giving effect to the Distribution of the
    Homestead Securities by PTR and ATLANTIC). These percentages are
    different than the relative percentage ownership interests described
    elsewhere because the convertible mortgage loans issuable to PTR and
    ATLANTIC have a conversion price of $11.50 per share rather than the
    $10.00 per share used in calculating the original issuance of the
    Homestead Common Stock.
 
  . After giving effect to the ATLANTIC IPO, the Distribution of the
    Homestead Securities by PTR and ATLANTIC, the exercise of all Homestead
    Warrants, the release of all shares of Homestead Common Stock to SCG from
    escrow and the conversion of all mortgage loans and the subsequent
    distribution of the Homestead Common Stock issuable upon such conversion
    to the shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC, SCG would own approximately
    48.8% of the outstanding Homestead Common Stock.
 
  PTR's and ATLANTIC's respective shareholders approved the Transaction on
September 12, 1996 and September 13, 1996, respectively.
 
                                THE DISTRIBUTION
 
  The shares of Homestead Common Stock and Homestead Warrants being distributed
hereby are being issued in connection with the Distribution by PTR and ATLANTIC
of all of the Homestead Securities owned by them to their respective
shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the number of shares of Homestead
Common Stock and Homestead Warrants being issued in connection with the

                                 RISK FACTORS
 
  Holders of Homestead Securities should consider carefully the specific
factors set forth below as well as the other information contained in the
ATLANTIC Prospectus, including this Prospectus.
 
SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER
 
  As of October 8, 1996, SCG beneficially owned approximately 37.6% of the
issued and outstanding PTR Common Shares and 64.1% of the issued and
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC Common Stock (57.8% after giving effect to the
ATLANTIC IPO). Immediately after completion of the Mergers, SCG is expected to
beneficially own 1,819,750 shares of Homestead Common Stock, not including
2,243,038 shares of Homestead Common Stock which will be held in escrow and
released to SCG as funding is made by ATLANTIC and PTR under their Funding
Commitment Agreements. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
Agreement". As a result of the ATLANTIC IPO and the distribution by PTR and
ATLANTIC to their respective shareholders, SCG expects to beneficially own an
additional 3,570,082 and 2,426,656 shares of Homestead Common Stock,
respectively, for a total of 7,816,488 shares of Homestead Common Stock or
approximately 44.0% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock.
Through its beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock, it is expected
that SCG will control 44.0% of the vote on all matters submitted for Homestead
shareholder action. The foregoing share ownership information does not give
effect to the issuance of shares upon exercise of options or other awards
granted under Homestead's Long-Term Incentive Plan. See "Management--Long-Term
Incentive Plan". SCG will also own Homestead Warrants to acquire an additional
4,840,789 shares of Homestead Common Stock, which, if fully exercised, would
increase SCG's beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock to 56.0%. SCG
may, over time, dispose of some of the shares of Homestead Common Stock it
acquires in the Transaction to reduce its beneficial ownership in Homestead to
below 50%. In addition, pursuant to an Investor Agreement between SCG and
Homestead, SCG has agreed to exercise at the request of Homestead all
Homestead Warrants it receives in the Transaction. In exchange for its
agreement to exercise Homestead Warrants, Homestead has granted SCG the right,
among other things, to nominate up to two directors to the Homestead Board,
depending upon SCG's level of ownership of shares of Homestead Common Stock,
and to be consulted on certain business decisions made by Homestead. In
addition, pursuant to Investor Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC, each of PTR
and ATLANTIC will have the right to nominate one director to the Homestead
Board. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--ATLANTIC and PTR Investor
Agreements" and "--SCG Investor Agreement".
 
LIMITED OPERATING HISTORY
 
  Although the first Homestead Village property was opened in 1992, Homestead
has a limited operating history as a separate entity upon which investors may
evaluate Homestead's performance. In addition, Homestead has no operating
history except during the recent economic expansion. There can be no assurance
that Homestead will be profitable in the future.
 
RISKS OF BORROWING
 
  As of the Closing Date, Homestead will assume approximately $77 million of
indebtedness secured by convertible mortgages on Homestead's properties and
various accounts and other assets. Homestead will incur additional debt
(including up to approximately $242 million of additional convertible
mortgages from PTR and ATLANTIC) from time to time, including construction
loans to finance the construction of extended-stay lodging facilities and
future acquisitions of land for development. The obligations under the
mortgage loans with PTR and ATLANTIC and the terms thereof, including the
maturity date and interest rate, have been fixed as of the date of the Merger
 
                                      A-7
<PAGE>
 
Agreement. There can be no assurance that Homestead could not obtain better
terms for such mortgage loans, if the terms were to be determined on the date
a mortgage loan is made to Homestead. In addition, leverage increases the
risks to Homestead of any variations in its results of operations,
construction cost overruns or any other factors affecting its cash flow or
liquidity. In addition, Homestead's interest costs could increase as the
result of general market increases in interest rates because Homestead expects
to enter into a revolving credit facility which will bear interest at floating
rates.
 
GENERAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RISKS
 
  Real property investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Real
estate cash flows and values are affected by a number of factors, including
changes in the general economic climate, local conditions (such as an
oversupply of extended-stay properties or a reduction in rental demand in an
area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other
available extended-stay properties and the ability of the owner to provide
adequate maintenance and insurance and to control operating costs. Although
Homestead seeks to minimize these risks through its market research and asset
management capabilities, these risks cannot be eliminated entirely. Real
estate cash flows and values are also affected by such factors as government
regulations, including zoning and tax laws, interest rate levels, the
availability of financing and potential liability under, and changes in,
environmental and other laws.
 
  Equity real estate investments are relatively illiquid and therefore may
tend to limit the ability of Homestead to react promptly to changes in
economic or other conditions. In addition, certain significant expenditures
associated with equity investments (such as mortgage payments, real estate
taxes and maintenance costs) are generally not reduced when circumstances
cause a reduction in income from the investments. There can be no assurance
that Homestead will be able to dispose of an investment when it finds
disposition advantageous or necessary or that the sale price of any
disposition will recoup or exceed the amount of Homestead's investment.
 
DEVELOPMENT RISKS
 
  Homestead intends to grow by developing additional company-owned moderate
priced, extended-stay lodging facilities. Development involves substantial
risks, including the risk that development costs will exceed budgeted or
contracted amounts, the risk of delays in completion of construction, the risk
of failing to obtain all necessary zoning and construction permits, the risk
that financing might not be available on favorable terms, the risk that
developed properties will not achieve desired revenue or profitability levels
once opened, the risk of competition for suitable development sites from
competitors which have greater financial resources than Homestead, the risks
of incurring substantial costs in the event a development project must be
abandoned prior to completion, changes in governmental rules, regulations and
interpretations (including interpretations of the requirements of the
Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA")) and general economic and
business conditions. Although Homestead intends to manage development to
reduce such risks, there can be no assurance that present or future
developments will perform in accordance with Homestead's expectations.
Homestead had 18 facilities under construction at August 31, 1996, expects to
have 41 facilities under construction at the end of 1996 and plans to continue
an active development program thereafter. All construction will be performed
by third party general contractors overseen by Homestead's development group.
Under the Funding Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC, if there are
cost overruns Homestead must complete the development of each property funded
by PTR or ATLANTIC consistent with the development plans for such project with
its own funds. There can be no assurance, however, that Homestead will
complete the development and construction of the facilities, or that any such
developments will be completed in a timely manner or within budget.
 
                                      A-8
<PAGE>
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH RAPID GROWTH
 
  Homestead's rapid development plans will require the implementation of
enhanced operational and financial systems and will require additional
management, operational and financial resources. For example, Homestead will
be required to recruit and train property managers and other personnel for
each new lodging facility as well as additional accounting personnel. There
can be no assurance that Homestead will be able to manage its expanding
operations effectively. The failure to implement such systems and add such
resources on a cost-effective basis could have a material adverse effect on
Homestead's results of operations and financial condition.
 
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  The moderate priced, extended-stay segment of the lodging industry, in which
Homestead operates, may be adversely affected by changes in national or local
economic conditions and other local market conditions, such as an oversupply
of hotel space or a reduction in demand for hotel space in a geographic area,
changes in travel patterns, extreme weather conditions, changes in
governmental regulations which influence or determine wages, prices or
construction costs, changes in interest rates, the availability of financing
for operating or capital needs and changes in real estate tax rates and other
operating expenses. Homestead's principal assets will consist of real
property, and real estate values are sensitive to changes in local market and
economic conditions and to fluctuations in the economy as a whole. In
addition, due in part to the strong correlation between the lodging industry's
performance and economic conditions, the lodging industry is subject to
cyclical changes in revenue and profits. These risks may be exacerbated by the
relatively illiquid nature of real estate holdings. In addition, Homestead has
no operating history except during the recent economic expansion. The ability
of Homestead to vary its portfolio in response to changes in economic and
other conditions will be limited. There can be no assurance that downturns or
prolonged adverse conditions in real estate or capital markets or in national
or local economies, and the inability of Homestead to dispose of an investment
when it finds disposition to be advantageous or necessary, will not have a
material adverse impact on Homestead.
 
COMPETITION IN THE LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  There is no single competitor or small number of competitors of Homestead
that is or are dominant in the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging market.
Competition in the U.S. lodging industry is based generally on convenience of
location, price, range of services and guest amenities offered and quality of
customer service. Homestead considers the reasonableness of its room rates,
the location of its lodging facilities and the services and the guest
amenities provided by it to be among the most important factors in its
business. Demographic or other changes in one or more of Homestead's markets
could impact the convenience or desirability of the sites of certain lodging
facilities, which would adversely affect their operations. Further, there can
be no assurance that new or existing competitors will not significantly lower
rates or offer greater convenience, services or amenities or significantly
expand or improve facilities in a market in which Homestead's facilities
compete, thereby adversely affecting Homestead's operations. There have been a
number of recent announcements indicating that a substantial number of
competitors intend to enter the moderate priced or economy extended-stay
lodging market, which could adversely affect Homestead's business. See
"Business--Competition".
 
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
 
  PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to make convertible mortgage loans to Homestead
to develop the properties being contributed by them (see "Certain
Relationships and Transactions--Funding Commitment Agreements") and SCG has
agreed to exercise at the request of Homestead all of its Homestead Warrants
which it will receive in the Transaction. Homestead anticipates that the
proceeds
 
                                      A-9
<PAGE>
 
from the loans and exercise of warrants will provide sufficient capital for
its operations through mid-1997. Thereafter, Homestead may need to procure
additional financing over time, the amount of which will depend on a number of
factors including the number of properties Homestead constructs and the cash
flow generated by its properties. If additional financing is needed, there can
be no assurance regarding the availability or terms of such financing
Homestead may be able to procure over time. Any future debt financings or
issuances of preferred stock by Homestead will be senior to the rights of the
holders of Homestead Common Stock, and any future issuances of Homestead
Common Stock will result in the dilution of the then existing shareholders'
proportionate equity interests in Homestead. Although Homestead is unable to
quantify its needs for additional financing, such needs will depend upon a
number of factors, including the pace of Homestead's development activities
and its ability to generate cash from operations.
 
IMPACT OF ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner, developer or operator of real estate may be liable
for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic
substances at, on, under or in its property. The costs of such removal or
remediation of such substances could be substantial. Such laws often impose
such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was
responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous or toxic
substances. The presence of such substances may adversely affect the owner's
ability to sell or rent such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous
or toxic substances also may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of such substances at the disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such
facility is owned or operated by such person. Certain environmental laws
impose liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials into the
air, pursuant to which third parties may seek recovery from owners or
operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with such
materials, and prescribe specific methods for the removal and disposal of such
materials. Homestead has not been notified by any governmental authority of
any non-compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of the
properties currently owned or being acquired, and Homestead is not aware of
any environmental condition with respect to any of the properties, which is
likely to be material. Homestead has subjected each of its properties to a
Phase I environmental site assessment ("Phase I Survey") (which does not
involve invasive procedures such as soil sampling or ground water analysis) by
independent consultants. While some of these assessments have led to further
investigation and sampling, none of the environmental assessments has
revealed, nor is Homestead aware of, any environmental liability (including
asbestos-related liability) that management believes would have a material
adverse effect on Homestead's business, financial position or results of
operations. No assurance can be given, however, that these assessments and
investigations reveal all potential environmental liabilities, that no prior
owner or operator created any material environmental condition not known to
Homestead or the independent consultants or that future uses and conditions
(including, without limitation, resident actions or changes in applicable
environmental laws and regulations) will not result in the imposition of
environmental liabilities.
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND COMPLIANCE WITH AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT
 
  The lodging industry is subject to numerous federal, state and local
government regulations including those relating to building and zoning
requirements. Also, Homestead is subject to laws governing its relationships
with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working
conditions and work permit requirements. An increase in the minimum wage rate,
employee benefit costs or other costs associated with employees could
adversely impact Homestead's results of operations or financial condition. In
addition, in accordance with the provisions of the ADA, all public
accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements related to
access and use by disabled persons. While Homestead believes that its
facilities are in compliance with these
 
                                     A-10
<PAGE>
 
requirements, a determination that Homestead is not in compliance with the ADA
could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private
litigants. In addition, changes in governmental rules and regulations or
enforcement policies affecting the use and operation of the facilities,
including changes to building codes and fire and life-safety codes, may occur.
If Homestead were required to make substantial modifications at its facilities
to comply with interpretations of the ADA or other changes in governmental
rules and regulations, Homestead's financial condition and ability to develop
new facilities could be materially adversely affected.
 
LOSSES IN EXCESS OF INSURANCE COVERAGE
 
  Homestead intends to maintain comprehensive insurance on each of its
properties, including liability, fire and extended coverage, in the types and
amounts customarily obtained by an owner and operator in Homestead's industry.
Nevertheless, there are certain types of losses, generally of a catastrophic
nature, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and floods, that may be uninsurable or
not economically insurable. Homestead uses its discretion in determining
amounts, coverage limits and deductibility provisions of insurance, with a
view to obtaining appropriate insurance on Homestead's properties at a
reasonable cost and on suitable terms. This may result in insurance coverage
that in the event of a loss would not be sufficient to pay the full current
market value or current replacement value of Homestead's lost investment and
the insurance proceeds received by Homestead might not be adequate to restore
its economic position with respect to such property.
 
RELIANCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
  Homestead's success will depend to a significant extent upon the efforts and
abilities of its senior management and key employees, particularly David C.
Dressler, Jr., Chairman and President, John Patterson and Donald Schultz, each
a Senior Vice President, and Gary DeLapp, a Vice President. The loss of the
services of any of these individuals could have a material adverse effect upon
Homestead. See "Management--Directors and Executive Officers". Homestead does
not have employment or consulting agreements with any of its officers nor does
it carry key man life insurance on any of its officers.
 
LIMITATIONS ON CHANGES IN CONTROL
 
  SHAREHOLDER PURCHASE RIGHTS. On May 16, 1996, the Homestead Board authorized
a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each
share of Homestead Common Stock outstanding. Each Purchase Right entitles the
holder under certain circumstances to purchase from Homestead one one-
hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $0.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of
$50.00 per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or group of persons
(other than SCG, PTR or ATLANTIC) acquires beneficial ownership of 20% or more
of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock or announces a tender
offer for beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the outstanding shares of
Homestead Common Stock. Under certain circumstances, each Purchase Right
entitles the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise
price, a number of shares of Homestead Common Stock having a market value of
twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The acquisition of Homestead
pursuant to certain mergers or other business transactions would entitle each
holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then current exercise price, a
number of the acquiring company's common shares having a market value at that
time equal to twice the Purchase Right's exercise price. The Purchase Rights
held by certain 20% shareholders (other than SCG, PTR or ATLANTIC) would not
be exercisable. The Purchase Rights will expire in May 2006 and are subject to
redemption in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right
payable in cash, shares of Homestead Common Stock or any other form of
consideration determined by the Homestead Board.
 
                                     A-11
<PAGE>
 
  The Purchase Rights may have certain anti-takeover effects, may have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead
and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of shareholders. See
"Description of Homestead Securities--Purchase Rights".
 
  PREFERRED SHARES. The Homestead charter (the "Homestead Charter") authorizes
the Homestead Board to issue shares of preferred stock and to establish the
preferences and rights of any shares of preferred stock so issued. See
"Description of Homestead Securities--Preferred Stock". The issuance of
preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a
change in control of Homestead even if a change in control were in the
shareholders' interests.
 
  ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS. For nominations or other business to be properly
brought before an annual meeting of shareholders by a shareholder, the
Homestead Bylaws require such shareholder to deliver a notice to the
Secretary, absent specified circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than
90 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting
setting forth: (i) as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate
for election or reelection as a director, all information relating to such
person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the
election of directors pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"); (ii) as to any other business that the
shareholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the
business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting
such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of
such shareholder and of the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the
proposal is made; and (iii) as to the shareholder giving the notice and the
beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made,
(x) the name and address of such shareholder as it appears on Homestead's
books and of such beneficial owner and (y) the number of shares of each class
of Homestead Common Stock which are owned beneficially and of record by such
shareholder and such beneficial owner, if any.
 
  CLASSIFIED BOARD. The Homestead Board has been divided into three classes.
At the 1997 annual meeting of shareholders, one class will be elected to hold
office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in
1998, another class will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the
annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999 and another class will be
elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of
shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class expires, directors
in that class will be elected for a term of three years and until their
successors are duly elected and qualified. Since at least two annual meetings
will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of the Homestead
Board, this provision could have the effect of delaying, deferring or
preventing a change in control of Homestead even if a change in control were
in the shareholders' interests.
 
  CERTAIN STATUTORY PROVISIONS. Homestead is subject to the Maryland General
Corporation Law (the "MGCL"), which imposes certain restrictions and requires
certain procedures with respect to the acquisition of certain levels of share
ownership and business combinations, including combinations with interested
shareholders. These provisions of the MGCL could have the effect of delaying,
deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead even if a change in
control were in the shareholders' interest. Additionally, the Homestead
Charter exempts SCG, its affiliates and successors from these provisions,
allowing SCG, its affiliates and successors to take actions that other persons
are prohibited from taking, which actions may not be in the best interests of
the shareholders other than SCG. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and
of Homestead's Charter and Bylaws".
 
ABSENCE OF PRIOR PUBLIC MARKET
 
  Prior to the consummation of the Transaction, there will be no public market
for the Homestead Securities. The Homestead Common Stock and the Homestead
Warrants have been approved for listing on the American Stock Exchange,
subject to official notice of issuance. There can be no assurance that an
active trading market will develop. In addition, there can be no assurance of
the
 
                                     A-12
<PAGE>
 
price at which holders of the Homestead Common Stock or Homestead Warrants
will be able to sell such Homestead Securities. From time to time, the stock
market experiences significant price and volume volatility, which may affect
the market price of the Homestead Common Stock or Homestead Warrants for
reasons unrelated to Homestead's performance.
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Sales of a substantial number of shares of Homestead Common Stock, or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price for Homestead Common Stock. Upon completion of the Distribution,
Homestead will have 17,749,735 shares of Homestead Common Stock outstanding.
Except for shares issued to SCG, all such shares, as well as 10,000,000 shares
issuable upon exercise of Homestead Warrants (other than those issued to SCG),
may be sold in the public markets without limitation. Additionally, up to
6,720,783 shares of Homestead Common Stock may be issuable upon exercise of
outstanding convertible mortgage notes and up to 21,049,834 shares of
Homestead Common Stock may be issuable upon exercise of convertible mortgage
notes to be issued pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements (described
herein). All such shares of Homestead Common Stock may be sold in the public
markets pursuant to registration rights or available exemptions from
registration. See "Shares Available for Future Sale". No prediction can be
made regarding the effect of future sales of Homestead Common Stock on the
market price thereof.
 
ABSENCE OF DIVIDENDS
 
  Homestead intends to retain its earnings to finance its growth and for
general corporate purposes and, therefore, does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. See "Dividend Policy".
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
  Homestead is a newly organized company. For Federal income tax purposes,
Homestead is organized as a Subchapter C corporation rather than a real estate
investment trust. As a result, it is under no obligation to distribute
substantially all or any of its earnings to shareholders. The declaration and
payment of dividends by Homestead are subject to the discretion of the
Homestead Board. Any determination as to the payment of dividends will depend
upon the results of operations, capital requirements and financial condition
of Homestead and such other factors as the Homestead Board deems relevant. The
Homestead Board intends to follow a policy of retaining earnings to finance
Homestead's growth and for general corporate purposes and, therefore, does not
anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

(1) Homestead was initially capitalized on April 18, 1996 in the amount of
    $1,000 in respect of the issuance of 1,000 shares.
(2) Does not include 10,000,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable upon
    exercise of outstanding Homestead Warrants or any shares of Homestead
    Common Stock which may be issuable upon the conversion of any convertible
    mortgage notes payable.
(3) Includes the shares of Homestead Common Stock to be issued to and held in
    escrow for SCG. As each property is funded under the Funding Commitment
    Agreements, an appropriate number of shares of Homestead Common Stock will
    be transferred to SCG.
(4) The total capitalization does not reflect the additional funding to be
    provided by PTR and ATLANTIC in the form of convertible mortgage notes
    pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements subsequent to the date of
    the Transaction. Therefore, the total capitalization as reflected in the
    pro forma above does not reflect the entire Transaction.

(4) EBITDA means operating income before mortgage and other interest, income
    taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent cash
    generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not to be
    considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement
    as a measure of operating performance and is not necessarily indicative of
    cash available to fund cash needs. Homestead has included EBITDA herein
    because Homestead believes that it is one measure used by certain
    investors to determine operating cash flow. EBITDA, as calculated above,
    may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other
    companies.

(1) Property operating expenses consist of all expenses directly related to
    the operation of the properties and do not include an allocation of
    corporate operating expenses. Property operating expenses include
    primarily salaries and wages, telephone, utilities, insurance, maintenance
    and supply costs and property taxes.
(2) EBITDA means operating income before mortgage and other interest, income
    taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent cash
    generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, is not to be
    considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement
    as a measure of operating performance and is not necessarily indicative of
    cash available to fund all cash needs. The PTR-Homestead Village Group has
    included EBITDA herein because the PTR-Homestead Village Group believes
    that it is one measure used by certain investors to determine operating
    cash flow. EBITDA, as calculated above, may not be comparable to other
    similarly titled measures of other companies.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        OF PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group historical operating results reflect the
growth and evolution of both the Homestead Village concept and the extended-
stay lodging business as a whole. Since the first Homestead Village facility
opened in 1992, the PTR-Homestead Village Group has developed an additional 27
properties in four years.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group is not aware of, nor does it expect, any
environmental condition on its properties to have a material adverse effect
upon its business, financial position or results of operations.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  From inception through June 30, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had
invested $141.2 million for the acquisition and development of 40 Homestead
Village properties, 26 of which were operating, eight of which were under
construction and six of which were in pre-development planning as of June 30,
1996. These investments have been financed through a combination of
intercompany debt borrowed from PTR and contributed capital.
 
  At June 30, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group expected to invest an
additional $142.8 million for those properties under construction, in planning
and for the acquisition, development and construction of 14 additional
properties over the next two years. The foregoing transactions are subject to
a number of conditions, and Homestead cannot predict with certainty that any
of them will be consummated.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group expects to finance construction, development
and land acquisitions primarily with cash on hand, convertible mortgage loans
to be made under the Funding Commitment Agreements, exercise of Homestead
Warrants by SCG pursuant to the SCG Investor Agreement, possible exercise of
Homestead Warrants by other warrantholders and cash from future securities
offerings.
 
  At August 31, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of approximately $32.3
million.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
  Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $18.7 million,
representing an increase of $10.7 million over the previous year. This
increase was due primarily to (i) a 67% increase in the number of operating
properties from twelve to twenty and (ii) a 14% increase in the average weekly
rate for stabilized properties, from $186 to $212 per week.
 
  Total costs and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $15.9
million, representing an increase of $8.8 million over the previous twelve
months. Property operating expense and property management fee increases of
approximately $5.0 million can be attributed to (i) the increase in the number
of operating properties noted above, (ii) an increase in property taxes as a
result of the additional operating properties and (iii) refinements in the
number and quality of property-level programs and services. REIT management
fees increased approximately $0.7 million as a result of increased property
cash flow.
 
 
                                     A-17
<PAGE>
 
  Depreciation of the cost of properties and improvements is provided using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation expense
increased $1.5 million in 1995 due primarily to the eight new properties
opened in 1995 and the full year of depreciation being charged for the nine
properties opened in 1994.
 
  Interest expense increased $1.5 million over 1994 due primarily to eight
additional properties opening in 1995. Additionally, a full year of interest
was incurred on the nine properties which opened in 1994.
 
 1994 COMPARED TO 1993
 
  PTR-Homestead Village Group ended 1994 with twelve operating properties
versus three operating properties at the end of 1993. These nine new
properties generated a $4.5 million revenue increase over the prior twelve
months. The remaining $0.9 million increase in revenue can be attributed to an
increase in average weekly rates for stabilized properties from $169 to $186
per week or approximately 10%.
 
  Total costs and expenses increased by $4.8 million over the same period,
from $2.2 million to $7.0 million. Most of the $2.3 million increase in
property expenses is attributable to the nine new property openings. The major
component of the increase is due to property taxes that are expensed on
operating properties. Corporate operating expenses and REIT management fees
increased approximately $0.7 million during this period as a result of
additional new property openings and higher property cash flow.
 
  Depreciation expense for December 31, 1994 increased $0.6 million over 1993
due primarily to the addition of nine new properties in 1994. Interest expense
for the period increased $1.2 million due primarily to the completion of the
nine new properties referred to above incurring interest plus a full year of
interest on the properties which opened in 1993.
 
 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
 
  Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $15.3 million, an
increase of $7.5 million over the six months ended June 30, 1995. This
increase was due to both the addition of 16 properties between January 1995
and June 1996, as well as a 3.8% increase in the average weekly rates for
stabilized properties from $211 to $219 per week.
 
  Total costs and expenses increased from $6.0 million to $12.9 million over
the same period, an increase of $6.9 million. Property operating expenses and
property management fees contributed $4.5 million to this increase, due to a
greater number of operating properties and the addition of certain customer
amenities and property level programs and services. REIT management fees
increased approximately $0.3 million as a result of increased property cash
flow.
 
  The increase in depreciation expense of $1.0 million is due primarily to the
additional 16 properties which were opened between January 1995 and June 1996.
An increase of $1.1 million in interest expense resulted from additional
operating properties and from the issuance of 9.00% convertible mortgage notes
payable to PTR on January 24, 1996, replacing intercompany debt bearing
interest at 7.37%.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        OF SCG-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
 
OVERVIEW
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group's business consists of providing development
and property and REIT management services for the Homestead Village properties
developed, owned and operated by the PTR-Homestead Village Group and the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group. SCG-Homestead Village Group earns REIT
management fees which in general are 16% of cash flow (as defined) and
property management fees which are computed as a percentage (5%-7%) of gross
revenues (as defined).
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group has incurred operating deficits since
inception as a result of performing development services for the PTR-Homestead
Village Group and the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group without compensation.
Under the respective REIT management agreements, fees are paid from the cash
flow of operating Homestead Village properties. Deficits are a result of
having a significant number of properties under development thus incurring
higher development overhead. The deficits have been and are expected to
continue to be funded through intercompany borrowings and contributed capital
from SCG.
 
  From inception through June 30, 1996, SCG-Homestead Village Group invested
$0.5 million in furniture and equipment for the support of the operations and
development of the Homestead Village properties.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 1995 COMPARED TO 1994
 
  REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1995 were
$2.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or approximately 153%, over the
year ended December 31, 1994. These additional fees are primarily attributable
to the revenues and cash flow generated by the new Homestead Village
properties opened in 1995 (eight) as well as Homestead Village properties
experiencing their first full year of operations during 1995 (nine).
 
  Costs and expenses increased by $4.7 million, or approximately 192%, to $7.2
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 from $2.5 million for the year
ended December 31, 1994. The additional expenses resulted primarily from
increased payroll, recruiting and relocation and other expenses associated
with increased staffing given (i) the additional Homestead Village properties
receiving property management services and (ii) the additional property
acquisition and development activities applicable to the current and future
growth of the Homestead Village properties.
 
 1994 COMPARED TO 1993
 
  REIT and property management fees for the year ended December 31, 1994 were
$0.8 million, which is an increase of $0.5 million, or approximately 212%,
over the year ended December 31, 1993. These additional fees are primarily
attributable to the revenue and cash flow generated by Homestead Village
properties which opened in 1994 (nine) as well as the effect of one Homestead
Village property experiencing its first full year of operations during 1994.

  Costs and expenses increased $1.5 million (166%), to $2.4 million for the
year ended December 31, 1994 from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1993. The additional expenses resulted primarily from increased payroll and
other expenses associated with increased staffing resulting from the growth in
operating properties and property acquisitions and development activity.
 
 SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995
 
  REIT and property management fees for the six months ended June 30, 1996
were $1.9 million, an increase of $0.9 million, or approximately 97%, over the
six months ended June 30, 1995. These additional fees are primarily
attributable to (i) the increased revenue and cash flow generated by eight
Homestead Village properties which opened during the six months ended June 30,
1996 as well as five Homestead Village properties which opened during the
period July 1, 1995 to December 31, 1995 and (ii) the property management fee
percentage which increased to 7% of gross revenues commencing January 1, 1996.
 
  Costs and expenses increased $4.0 million, or approximately 170%, to $6.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2.4 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1995. The additional expenses resulted primarily from
increased payroll, recruiting and relocation, overhead allocated by SCG and
other expenses associated with increased staffing as a result of the continued
growth in operating Homestead Village properties and property acquisition and
development activities.
 
                                   BUSINESS
 
OBJECTIVES
 
  The objective of Homestead is to be the preeminent developer, owner and
national operator focused on the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging
business. Homestead intends to achieve this objective by:
 
  . participating in high growth markets;
 
  . exercising investment discipline based on research; and
 
  . employing a consistent high quality service standard to property
    operations.
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead owned and operated 29 facilities in eight
cities, had begun construction on 18 additional facilities and had an
additional 33 properties in pre-development planning, for a total of 80
properties. Homestead is currently processing entitlements on 39 additional
sites it has under contract, which, if acquired, would bring Homestead's total
number of properties completed or under development to 119. In addition, its
development staff of 55 professionals is currently reviewing additional
development opportunities in 29 cities. See "--Homestead Village Properties".
 
  Homestead seeks to offer a purpose-built standardized product for the value-
conscious business customer on temporary assignment, undergoing relocation or
in training. Homestead will offer as its primary amenities price and value.
Secondary amenities include location and site livability--convenience to the
targeted business base and services--in an environment that is attractive,
well landscaped and secure.
 
  Customer research indicates that the primary Homestead Village customer stay
is work-related. The largest proportion of these relate to temporary business
assignments. Average income of Homestead customers exceeds $50,000. Homestead
believes the customer's foremost reason for selecting Homestead is the high
level of value delivered to the customer in relation to the price. Forty-four
percent (44%) of Homestead customers pay for their stay either out-of-pocket
(are not reimbursed) or on a per diem. Twenty-five percent (25%) of Homestead
Village customers are direct employer referrals, in many cases due to
training. The average length of stay for a customer is in excess of four
weeks. Management believes that Homestead will benefit from well-defined
trends in business including an increased focus on cost-efficiency, reduction
in travel expenses, out-sourcing and geographic dispersion of customers and
operations.

  Homestead is founded on research. The Homestead product was conceived and
has evolved to meet consumer needs through research, testing and the operating
experience gained through the development and operation of 29 properties over
the past four years. Homestead believes its operating experience and its
affiliation with Security Capital Investment Research Incorporated ("Security
Capital Investment Research") allow it to better target markets where supply
and demand factors permit high occupancies at increasing rental rates.
Homestead targets submarkets that exhibit strong employment and demographic
trends in selecting locations with barriers to extensive competitive
development. Homestead believes it brings a strategic discipline to
determining an investment focus which provides favorable initial returns and
long-term growth prospects. Through its Investment Committee, described below,
and due diligence process, Homestead employs uniform systems and procedures to
achieve its investment goals.
 
  Homestead believes that the Homestead Village brand identity and the market
opportunity in extended-stay lodging is best served by a property specifically
designed and built to Homestead's standards and specifications. Accordingly,
while Homestead intends to be an active national developer, it has no plans or
intention to acquire existing extended-stay properties or to convert other
existing lodging properties to extended-stay use. To ensure maximum control
over the brand identity and quality of operations, Homestead has no plans or
intention to franchise the Homestead Village concept.
 
  Homestead minimizes development risks by having zoning, site planning,
construction budgets and similar risks resolved or assumed by third parties
prior to Homestead's commitment to a transaction. Homestead incorporates into
its development process certain proprietary technologies, design and
purchasing aimed at enhancing occupancy and rental growth while reducing
ongoing maintenance costs. Homestead has had the opportunity to evaluate and
refine its product through its history of development. Homestead focuses on
the quality of construction, materials and design with a view towards
minimizing long-term operation and maintenance costs. Homestead uses
independent general contractors for the construction of its properties and
intends to use a number of such contractors depending upon the geographic
area, costs of construction and physical capacities of the contractors.
Homestead personnel will oversee the progress of construction on a regular
basis during the development cycle.
 
HISTORY
 
  Homestead was initially created as a byproduct of the multifamily
development activities of PTR. The PTR REIT Manager (defined herein)
identified a customer need not ideally addressed through its traditional
multifamily garden apartment product or through corporate apartments operated
within a garden apartment context. The PTR REIT Manager believed that a
product which offered greater flexibility of rental term, a fully furnished
studio apartment with cooking facilities and a focused array of services (such
as limited maid service, voice mail, cable or satellite television) at an
affordable price would meet the needs of a significant and growing segment of
demand for those business customers on temporary assignment, training or
relocating.
 
  In conjunction with its research affiliate, Security Capital Investment
Research, the PTR REIT Manager engaged in extensive study to determine an
optimum approach to what it originally termed "Corporate Affordable Housing".
Beginning in 1992, the PTR REIT Manager initiated development projects in
Dallas and Houston, Texas. It was the PTR REIT Manager's express intention to
gain operating experience and to fully understand market characteristics prior
to committing to full-scale Homestead Village development on a broad
geographical basis. SCG funded the early stages of development of the
Homestead Village concept.
 
  Homestead properties which opened in 1992 and 1993 enjoyed substantial
occupancy and customer acceptance. During this period, management reviewed
Homestead Village properties and
 
                                     A-24
<PAGE>
 
operations to refine and improve its approach to serving the Homestead
customer. Management believes its initial operating experience allowed it to
not only better understand the depth and scope of the available market
opportunity for Homestead Village but also to create a better development
process and operating system in response to that opportunity.
 
  During 1995, a distinct and separate management team was created to support
and expand the opportunity for Homestead Village in PTR and ATLANTIC. PTR and
ATLANTIC are affiliates of SCG and are REITs which own, operate and develop
multifamily properties. PTR's target market is the western United States and
ATLANTIC's target market is the southeastern United States. Homestead projects
were developed by each entity in its own region. From January 1995 to August
1996, the number of professional employees focused exclusively on Homestead
Village increased from eight to 66 and the number of on-site personnel is
currently 318. Operations and development were organized within PTR and
ATLANTIC to meet the distinct needs of the moderate priced, extended-stay
lodging business. Homestead believes it has not only brought a focused
approach to the development and operations of moderate priced, extended-stay
properties, but that Homestead currently has superior management depth and
experience in the industry.
 
  As a result of the Mergers, Homestead will become a separate entity. It has
been organized as a Subchapter C corporation and is internally managed.
However, Homestead has a relationship with SCG which it intends to continue
through the Administrative Services Agreement and will enjoy the benefits of
SCG's organization and service. See "--Administrative Services Agreement".
 
THE FACILITIES
 
  At August 31, 1996, Homestead had developed, owned and operated 29 Homestead
Village properties representing in the aggregate 4,025 units in eight cities
and had 18 Homestead Village properties under construction totaling 2,268
units within four of these cities as well as nine additional cities. In
addition, Homestead owns or controls through contracts 33 development sites
for which it plans to initiate construction within the next 12 months, for a
total of 80 properties. Units operating, under construction or in pre-
development planning aggregate 10,908 units in 23 cities. Homestead is
currently processing entitlements on 39 additional sites it has under
contract, which, if acquired, would bring Homestead's total number of
properties completed or under development to 119. In addition, its development
staff of 55 professionals is currently reviewing additional development
opportunities in 29 cities.
 
  The average size and development cost of the initial 80 Homestead Village
properties is 136 units and $40,593 per unit, respectively. It is expected,
however, that the size and cost to develop a property will vary significantly
by geographic location. The 12 Homestead Village properties currently under
construction average 132 units at an average project cost of $5.8 million with
an average cost per unit of $43,486.
 
  Homestead Village properties are designed and built to uniform plans
developed and periodically refined since 1991. Units generally contain 260 to
325 square feet of fully furnished living space, with kitchen facilities
including full-size refrigerator, microwave, sink and cook-top. Generally,
units include combination work station/eating area, chair and features such as
individual voice mail, cable/satellite television, weekly housekeeping,
dataport and free local telephone calls.
 
  For the eight months ended August 31, 1996, the 20 stabilized Homestead
Village properties had an average physical occupancy of 83% with an average
weekly rate of $213 per unit. Average physical occupancy and average weekly
rate for nine pre-stabilized properties were 69% and $227 per week,
respectively.
 
  Each Homestead Village property employs a General Manager who is responsible
for the operations of the particular property. The General Manager shares
duties with and oversees a staff typically consisting of a Guest Services
Manager, Operations Manager, Maintenance Supervisor, front desk clerk and
housekeeping/laundry staff of five to seven individuals (some of whom are
part-time employees). The office at each property is generally open daily from
7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
 
 
                                     A-25
<PAGE>
 
  Homestead expects that the majority of daily operational decisions will be
made by the General Manager under the supervision of a Regional Manager who
will be responsible for six to twelve properties, depending on geographic
location. The Regional Manager oversees the performance of the General
Managers in such areas as guest service, property maintenance, staffing and
cost control. Each Homestead Village property is measured against a detailed
revenue and expense budget, as well as against the performance of Homestead's
other properties. Homestead employs a series of incentive programs,
encompassing all employees, based on guest service, cleanliness, recruiting
and retaining people and property level performance.
 
  Homestead has invested substantially in training for its regional and on-
site personnel. Twelve separate training modules with subjects ranging from
personal selling and guest service to guest safety are conducted on a regular
basis. Training design and organizational development are administered on a
corporate basis with field implementation personnel located within a
geographic region. Homestead views its investment in training and developing
its site-level personnel as essential to its goal of providing a high
customer-service standard consistent with the objective of becoming the
preeminent operator in the moderate priced, extended-stay lodging business.
 
GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
 
  Homestead's goal is to become a national provider of moderate priced,
extended-stay lodging in its target markets. Homestead intends to achieve this
goal by developing properties in a disciplined manner in its target markets,
providing high value accommodations for its customers, actively managing its
existing properties to increase revenues and reduce operating costs, and
increasing awareness of the moderate priced, extended-stay concept and the
Homestead Village name. At August 31, 1996, Homestead owned and operated 29
properties, had begun construction of 18 additional properties and had an
additional 33 properties in pre-development planning, for a total of 80
properties. Homestead expects to have a total of 31 properties operational by
the end of 1996. Homestead plans to continue an active development program
thereafter. Homestead's plans call for the average facility to have
approximately 136 extended-stay rooms and to take approximately eight to ten
months to construct.
 
  Homestead targets major metropolitan areas which, based on its own research,
it has determined have suitable submarkets with favorable employment and
demographic trends. To achieve and maintain certain management efficiencies,
Homestead has elected not to enter markets where its submarket research
indicates that Homestead is not likely to be successful in achieving multiple
desirable site locations. Homestead employs dedicated site acquisition
professionals who evaluate each site against a set of eighteen separate
criteria where optimum standards have been established.
 
  As part of its development strategy, Homestead employs contingent contracts
which allow it to conduct thorough due diligence and obtain entitlements prior
to taking title to a site. Homestead employs a dedicated due diligence staff
of six experienced professionals which reviews each investment according to
uniform standards concerning environmental, legal, entitlement and
geotechnical risk.
 
  Each investment transaction undergoes a detailed and comprehensive review by
operational and development senior management and a subsequent review by
Homestead's Investment Committee. Members of the Investment Committee include
David Dressler, Jr., Chairman and President, John Patterson and Donald
Schultz, each a Senior Vice President, and Gary DeLapp, a Vice President. The
Investment Committee process is designed to review both the specific
investment as well as to ensure its conformance to Homestead's investment
policies and goals.
 
  Sites for development will be selected by Homestead's real estate
professionals, subject to review and approval of the Investment Committee.
Homestead currently maintains offices in Atlanta, Dallas and Santa Fe.
Homestead expects to open regional offices in other geographic areas in the
future as Homestead increases the number of regions in which it is focusing
its development. Homestead will
 
                                     A-26
<PAGE>
 
utilize independent general contractors for the construction of its lodging
facilities and intends to use a number of such contractors depending upon
geographic area, costs of construction and financial and physical capacities
of the contractors. Homestead's personnel will oversee the progress of
construction on a regular basis during the development cycle.
 
OPERATING STRATEGY
 
  Homestead's business strategy is to develop moderate priced, extended-stay
facilities providing an affordable and attractive lodging alternative for
value conscious business customers looking for extended-stay accommodations.
Homestead's goal is to provide its customers with a level of amenities needed
to optimize room and occupancy rates while maintaining high operating margins
at its facilities. Homestead attempts to achieve this goal through the
following:
 
  APPEAL TO VALUE CONSCIOUS GUESTS. Homestead's facilities are designed to
offer quality accommodations for guests at substantially lower rates than most
other extended-stay lodging providers and hotels. Homestead's properties
currently offer extended-stay accommodations at a standard weekly rate of
between $189 and $239 per week. Room rates at Homestead's facilities may vary
significantly, however, depending upon specific market factors and the size of
the room. These rates contrast with average weekly rates of approximately $500
for traditional extended-stay hotels.
 
  LODGING FACILITY FEATURES. Homestead's facilities are designed and built to
uniform plans. Units generally contain 260 to 325 square feet of fully
furnished living space, with kitchen facilities including full-size
refrigerator, microwave, sink and cook-top. Generally, units include
combination work station/eating area, chair and features such as individual
voice mail, cable/satellite television, weekly housekeeping, dataport and free
local telephone calls.
 
  STANDARDIZED CONCEPT. Homestead has developed standardized plans and
specifications for its properties which lower construction and purchasing
costs and establish uniform quality and operational standards.
 
  OPERATING EFFICIENCIES. Homestead believes that the design and price level
of its properties attract guest stays of several weeks or more, which result
in a more stable revenue stream and, coupled with low-labor amenities, will in
turn lead to reduced administrative and operational costs and higher operating
margins.

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT
 
  SCG currently provides certain administrative services to Homestead through
Security Capital Pacific Incorporated (the "PTR REIT Manager") and Security
Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the "ATLANTIC REIT Manager") and the property
managers for the Homestead Village properties currently owned and developed by
PTR and ATLANTIC. Certain employees of the PTR and ATLANTIC REIT Managers who
performed various services for the Homestead predecessor entities controlled
by PTR and ATLANTIC and who participated in various benefit plans maintained
by SCG will become employees of Homestead and perform similar services.
 
  At or prior to the consummation of the Mergers, Homestead and SCG will enter
into an administrative services agreement (the "Administrative Services
Agreement"), pursuant to which SCG will provide Homestead with administrative
services with respect to certain aspects of Homestead's business. These
services will include, but are not limited to, insurance administration,
accounts
 
                                     A-28
<PAGE>
 
payable administration, internal audit, cash management, human resources,
management information systems, tax and legal administration, research,
shareholder communications and investor relations. The fees payable to SCG
will be based on market rates as mutually agreed. The Administrative Services
Agreement will be for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1996 and will
automatically be renewed for one-year terms, subject to approval by a majority
of the disinterested members of the Homestead Board and the approval by the
disinterested members of the Homestead Board of the annual compensation
payable to SCG for services rendered to Homestead.
 
  Homestead believes its relationship with SCG under this agreement provides
certain advantages to Homestead. Homestead believes that a properly structured
Administrative Services Agreement provides Homestead with access to greater
quality and depth of management personnel and resources, highly focused
research, information systems, insurance, cash management and legal support
provided at substantial economies of scale, than it could provide internally.
 
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
 
 TRADITIONAL LODGING INDUSTRY
 
  The United States lodging industry is estimated to have generated
approximately $52.7 billion in annual room revenues in 1995 and had
approximately 3.3 million rooms at the end of 1995. Over 62.7% of the
industry's rooms are owned, managed or franchised by the 10 largest lodging
chains.
 
  Industry statistics, which Homestead believes to be reliable, indicate that
the United States lodging industry's performance is strongly correlated to
economic activity. Room supply and demand historically have been sensitive to
shifts in economic growth, which has resulted in cyclical changes in average
daily room and occupancy rates. Overbuilding in the lodging industry in the
mid and late 1980s resulted in an oversupply of rooms. Homestead believes this
oversupply and the general downturn in the economy led to depressed industry
performance and a lack of capital available to the industry in the late 1980s
and early 1990s.
 
  Homestead believes that the lodging industry has benefited from a gradually
improving supply and demand balance, evidenced by increased average daily room
and occupancy rates. Room supply growth in the lodging industry has slowed in
recent years as the industry absorbs the oversupply of rooms that resulted
from an annual room supply growth range of approximately 3% to 4% from 1987 to
1990. According to industry reports, which Homestead believes are reliable,
this growth slowed to 1.0% in 1993, 1.4% in 1994 and 1.6% in 1995. The 4.0%
and 2.7% increases in demand (measured by occupied rooms) from 1993 to 1994
and 1994 to 1995, respectively, as compared to increases in supply during the
same periods reflect an improved supply and demand balance in the industry.
Homestead believes these factors were primarily responsible for the increase
in industry occupancy rates from 63.8% in 1993 to 65.4% in 1994 and to 66.1%
in 1995 and the increase in average daily room rates from $60.35 in 1993 to
$62.62 in 1994 and to $65.62 in 1995.
 
  The lodging industry generally can be segmented by the level of service
provided and the pricing of the rooms. Segmentation by level of service is
divided into the following categories: full service hotels, which offer food
and beverage services, meeting rooms, room service and similar guest services;
limited service hotels, which generally offer only rooms with amenities such
as swimming pools, continental breakfast or similar limited services; and all-
suites, which generally have limited public spaces but provide guests with two
rooms or distinct partitioned areas and which may or may not offer food and
beverage service to guests. Segmentation by price level may generally be
divided into the following categories with the respective average daily room
rates for 1995: budget ($36), economy-priced ($47), mid-price ($61), upscale
($80) and luxury ($118).
 
  The all-suites segment of the lodging industry is a relatively new segment,
having developed largely over the past 10 years, and is principally oriented
toward business travelers in the mid-price to
 
                                     A-29
<PAGE>
 
upscale price levels. All-suite hotels were developed partially in response to
the increasing number of corporate relocations, transfers and temporary
assignments and the need of business travelers for more than just a room. To
address those needs, all-suite hotels began to offer suites with additional
space and, in some cases, an efficiency kitchen, and guests staying for
extended periods of time were offered discounts to daily rates when they paid
on a weekly or monthly basis. Because of the perceived positive price/value
relationship, all-suite hotels have generally outperformed the lodging
industry as a whole over the last five years.
 
 EXTENDED-STAY MARKET
 
  Homestead believes that the extended-stay market, in which Homestead
participates, is a continuation of the all-suites phenomenon, and that the
same price/value relationship which has enabled the all-suites segment to
achieve higher than industry average occupancy rates and operating margins
will also carry through to the extended-stay market. Demand for extended-stay
lodging has been stimulated by the economic and social changes resulting from
the increased volume of corporate reorganizations and trends toward down-
sizing and out-sourcing of various functions, the break-up and geographic
dispersion of the traditional family and technological improvements which have
allowed businesses to relocate outside of large metropolitan areas. These
changes have created new accommodation needs for, among others, corporate
executives and trainees, consultants, sales representatives, construction
workers and relocating individuals.
 
 MODERATE PRICED, EXTENDED-STAY CONCEPT
 
  Moderate priced, extended-stay lodging competes on the basis of price and
value compared to the extended-stay market generally, thereby providing an
economic inducement to guests who are already attracted to the extended-stay
concept. In addition, moderate priced, extended-stay lodging provides a new
and affordable lodging alternative for guests who are value conscious, have
lower incomes or are on limited expense accounts. Based on published occupancy
rates for other participants in the extended-stay market, Homestead believes
that there is a strong demand for moderate priced, extended-stay
accommodations and that in certain areas of the country there is no organized
competition for that business. Of the approximately 3.3 million total
available rooms in the United States lodging industry at the end of 1995,
there were approximately 45,000, or 1.4%, dedicated extended-stay rooms at
approximately 390 separate properties. More than 260 of these extended-stay
properties were controlled by only three other competitors, all of which are
priced toward the upscale segment of the extended-stay market.
 
COMPETITION
 
  The lodging industry is highly competitive. Competitive factors within the
lodging industry include room rates, quality of accommodations, service
levels, convenience of location, reputation, reservation systems, name
recognition and supply and availability of alternative lodging in local
markets, including short-term lease lodging facilities. Homestead's facilities
will compete with a number of competitors, including budget and economy
segment hotels and other companies focusing on the extended-stay market. Each
of Homestead's existing properties is located in a developed area that
includes competing lodging facilities. In addition, each of Homestead's
proposed properties is likely to be located in an area that includes competing
facilities. The number of competitive lodging facilities in a particular area
could have a material adverse effect on the levels of occupancy and average
weekly room rates of Homestead's existing and future properties.
 
  Homestead anticipates that competition within the moderate priced, extended-
stay lodging market will substantially increase as participants in other
segments of the lodging industry and others focus on this relatively new
market. A number of other extended-stay lodging facilities exist, many of
which are oriented toward the upscale segment; however, recent announcements
indicate a substantial
 
                                     A-30
<PAGE>
 
number of competitors intend to enter the mid-priced or economy extended-stay
segment. Homestead may compete for development sites with established entities
which have greater financial resources than Homestead and better relationships
with lenders and sellers. These entities may generally be able to accept more
risk than Homestead can prudently manage. Further, there can be no assurance
that new or existing competitors will not significantly reduce their rates or
offer greater convenience, services or amenities or significantly expand,
improve or develop facilities in a market in which Homestead competes, thereby
adversely affecting Homestead's operations.
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
 
  Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or
operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation
of certain hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often
impose such liability without regard to whether the owner knew of, or was
responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. Furthermore, a
person that arranges for the disposal or transports for disposal or treatment
a hazardous substance at a property owned by another may be liable for the
costs of removal or remediation of hazardous substances released into the
environment at that property. The costs of remediation or removal of such
substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the
failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the
owner's ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate
as collateral. In connection with the ownership and operation of its
properties, Homestead may be potentially liable for any such costs.
 
  Homestead has obtained recent Phase I Surveys on its existing properties and
intends to obtain Phase I Surveys prior to the purchase of any future
properties. The Phase I Surveys are intended to identify potential
environmental contamination and regulatory compliance concerns. Phase I
Surveys generally include historical reviews of the properties, reviews of
certain public records, preliminary investigations of the sites and
surrounding properties and the preparation and issuance of written reports.
Phase I Surveys generally do not include invasive procedures, such as soil
sampling or ground water analysis.
 
  The Phase I Surveys have not revealed any environmental liability or
compliance concern that Homestead believes would have a material adverse
effect on Homestead's business, financial position or results of operations
nor is Homestead aware of any such liability or concern. Nevertheless, it is
possible that Phase I Surveys will not reveal all environmental liabilities or
compliance concerns or that there will be material environmental liabilities
or compliance concerns of which Homestead will not be aware. Moreover, no
assurances can be given that (i) future laws, ordinances or regulations will
not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current
environmental condition of Homestead's existing and future properties will not
be affected by the condition of neighboring properties (such as the presence
of leaking underground storage tanks) or by third parties unrelated to
Homestead.
 
GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION
 
  A number of states regulate the licensing of hotels by requiring
registration, disclosure statements and compliance with specific standards of
conduct. Homestead believes that each of its facilities has the necessary
permits and approvals to operate its respective business and Homestead intends
to continue to obtain such permits and approvals for its new facilities. In
addition, Homestead is subject to laws governing its relationship with
employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime, working conditions
and work permit requirements. An increase in the minimum wage rate, employee
benefit costs or other costs associated with employees could adversely affect
Homestead. Both at the federal and state level from time to time, there are
proposals under consideration to increase the minimum wage.
 
                                     A-31
<PAGE>
 
  Under the ADA, all public accommodations are required to meet certain
federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Although
Homestead has attempted to satisfy ADA requirements in the designs for its
facilities, no assurance can be given that a material ADA claim will not be
asserted against Homestead, which could result in a judicial order requiring
compliance, and the expenditure of substantial sums to achieve compliance, an
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. These and
other initiatives could adversely affect Homestead as well as the lodging
industry in general.
 
TRADEMARKS
 
  The Homestead Village name has been registered with the United States Patent
and Trademark office.
 
INSURANCE
 
  Homestead currently has the types and amounts of insurance coverage that it
considers appropriate for a company in its business. While management believes
that its insurance coverage is adequate, if Homestead were held liable for
amounts exceeding the limits of its insurance coverage or for claims outside
of the scope of its insurance coverage, Homestead's business, results of
operations or financial position could be materially and adversely affected.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
  Upon consummation of the Mergers, Homestead will employ approximately 66
professionals and 318 on-site personnel. Homestead expects that it will
significantly increase the number of its employees as it expands its business.
Homestead's employees are not subject to any collective bargaining agreements
and management believes that its relationship with its employees is good.
 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
  Homestead is not a party to any litigation or claims, other than routine
matters incidental to the operation of the business of Homestead. To date, no
claims have had a material adverse effect on Homestead nor does Homestead
expect that the outcome of any pending claims will have such an effect.

MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY
 
  Homestead believes that the quality of management should be assessed in the
light of the following factors:
 
  MANAGEMENT DEPTH/SUCCESSION. Management should have several senior
executives with the leadership, operational, investment and financial skills
and experience to oversee the entire operations of Homestead. Homestead
believes that several of its senior officers could serve as the principal
executive officer and continue Homestead's performance.
 
  STRATEGIC VISION. Management should have the strategic vision to determine
an investment focus that provides both favorable initial yields and strong
long-term growth prospects. Homestead will demonstrate its strategic vision by
focusing Homestead on the extended-stay lodging business in target markets
where demographic and supply factors will permit high occupancies at
increasing rates.
 
  RESEARCH CAPABILITY. Management should have the means for researching both
markets and product to determine appropriate investment opportunities.
Homestead divides its target markets into multiple submarkets for analysis
purposes. Through its relationship with Security Capital Investment Research,
Homestead will have several professionals devoting substantial time to
research, on a submarket-by-submarket basis, who are closely supervised by the
directors and executive officers of Homestead.
 
  INVESTMENT COMMITTEE PROCESS. Investment committees should provide
discipline and guidance for the investment activities of Homestead in order to
achieve its long-term strategic objectives. The four members of Homestead's
Investment Committee have a combined 56 years of experience in the real estate
industry. The Investment Committee receives detailed written analyses and
research, in a standardized format, from Homestead's development and
acquisition personnel and evaluates all prospective investments pursuant to
uniform underwriting criteria prior to submission of investment
recommendations to the Homestead Board. The quality of the Investment
Committee's process will be evident from the ability of Homestead to achieve
its investment goals, generally exceeding its projected initial returns and
growth from the extended-stay lodging business.
 
  DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITY. Homestead has no plans or intentions of acquiring
existing hotel properties and converting them to the Homestead Village
concept. Homestead's personnel have substantial development experience.
Homestead has 39 full-time professionals committed to development activities.
Homestead has engaged in substantial development at attractive yields that
have generally exceeded projections.
 
  DUE DILIGENCE PROCESS. Management should have experienced personnel
dedicated to performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. Homestead has
six full-time due diligence professionals and has developed uniform systems
and procedures for due diligence.
 
  OPERATING CAPABILITY. Management can substantially improve cash flow by
actively and effectively managing assets. Homestead has devoted substantial
personnel and financial resources to developing value-added operating systems,
which control and effectively administer the operation of Homestead's
extended-stay lodging business.
 
COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD
 
  The Homestead Board will establish an Audit Committee consisting solely of
Independent Directors prior to the consummation of the Transaction. The Audit
Committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of independent
public accountants, reviews the plans and results of the audit engagement with
the independent public accountants, approves professional services provided by
the independent public accountants, reviews the independence of the
independent public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit
fees and reviews the adequacy of Homestead's internal accounting controls.
 
  The Homestead Charter provides that, immediately following the date on which
Homestead has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the
Exchange Act, the Homestead Board shall include a majority of directors
("Independent Directors") each of whom is not an employee or officer of
 
                                     A-36
<PAGE>
 
Homestead, any person or entity primarily controlling Homestead or their
respective affiliates and performs no other services for Homestead, any person
or entity primarily controlling Homestead or any of their respective
affiliates, except as director or trustee.
 
MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION
 
  DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION. Directors who are not employees of Homestead or SCG
will receive $14,000 per year for serving as a director and will be reimbursed
for their travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending
meetings of the Homestead Board or committees thereof. Outside directors may
also receive grants of options to acquire shares of Homestead Common Stock.
See "--Outside Directors Plan."
 
  EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION. Homestead was incorporated in January 1996 and did
not conduct any operations prior to that time. Homestead anticipates that
during 1996 its most highly compensated officers, with estimated salary
amounts for each such individual on an annualized basis, will be David C.
Dressler, Jr., $195,000; Michael D. Cryan, $200,000; Robert W. Frost, Jr.,
$160,000; John R. Patterson, $160,000; and Donald J. Schultz, $160,000, (the
"Named Executive Officers"). Each Named Executive Officer will also be
eligible for discretionary bonuses and awards under the Incentive Plan
described below. See "--Long-Term Incentive Plan."
 
STOCK OPTION PLAN
 
 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
 
  Prior to consummation of the Mergers, Homestead anticipates adoption of the
Homestead Village Incorporated Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Incentive
Plan"), subject to approval of Homestead shareholders, which, it is expected,
will contain the following terms and conditions. The number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock which may be awarded under the Incentive Plan shall not
exceed 4,000,000 shares in the aggregate. Shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued under the Incentive Plan may be authorized and unissued shares or
treasury shares. In the event of certain transactions affecting the type or
number of outstanding shares, the number of shares subject to the Incentive
Plan, the number or type of shares subject to outstanding awards and the
exercise price thereof will be appropriately adjusted. The Incentive Plan will
authorize the award of stock grants (which may be subject to restrictions) and
performance stock, and authorizes the establishment of one or more stock
purchase programs. A committee of the Homestead Board (the "Committee") will
be appointed to administer the Incentive Plan. Subject to the terms of the
Incentive Plan, the Committee will determine which employees or other
individuals providing services to Homestead shall be eligible to receive
awards under the Incentive Plan, and the amount, price, timing and other terms
and conditions applicable to such awards.
 
  Options awarded under the Incentive Plan may be either incentive stock
options which are intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the
Code, or non-qualified stock options which are not intended to satisfy Section
422 of the Code. Options will become exercisable in accordance with the terms
established by the Committee, which may include conditions relating to
completion of a specified period of service or achievement of performance
standards. Options will expire on the date determined by the Committee which
shall not be later than the earliest to occur of (i) the tenth anniversary of
the grant date, (ii) the first anniversary of the participant's termination of
employment by reason of death, disability or retirement or (iii) the three
month anniversary of the participant's termination of employment for any other
reason. Shares transferred to a participant pursuant to the exercise of an
option may be subject to such additional restrictions or limitations as the
Committee may determine.
 
  Under the Incentive Plan, the Committee may grant awards of Homestead Common
Stock to participants, which shall be subject to such conditions and
restrictions, if any, as the Committee may determine. During the period a
stock award is subject to restrictions or limitations, the Committee may award
the participant dividend rights with respect to such shares. The Incentive
Plan may also provide that the Committee may establish one or more stock
programs which may permit purchases of Homestead Common Stock.
 
                                     A-37
<PAGE>
 
  The Committee may award participants performance stock, the distribution of
which is subject to achievement of performance objectives. The number of
shares and the performance measures and periods shall be established by the
Committee at the time the award is made.
 
 NON QUALIFIED OPTIONS
 
  Homestead may grant, prior to the closing of the Mergers, nonqualified
options to acquire shares of Homestead Common Stock, subject to board and
shareholder approval. The Named Executive Officers and certain other officers
of Homestead may receive options to purchase shares of Homestead Common Stock
at $10.00 per share, although the total number of shares subject to these
options has not been determined as of the date of this Prospectus. The options
would become exercisable ten percent in the third year after the date of
grant, an additional twenty percent in the fourth year after the date of
grant, an additional thirty percent in the fifth year after the date of grant
and the remaining forty percent in the sixth year after the date of grant and
would expire ten years after the date of grant. The participants would have no
rights as shareholders with respect to the shares subject to his or her
options until the option is exercised. No income would be recognized by a
participant at the time the options are granted. The exercise of a
nonqualified stock option is generally a taxable event that requires the
participant to recognize, as ordinary income, the difference between the fair
market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the option price.
Homestead ordinarily will be entitled to claim a federal income tax deduction
on account of the exercise of a nonqualified option. The amount of the
deduction is equal to the ordinary income recognized by a participant.
Homestead will adopt Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and related interpretations in
accounting for its stock options. Therefore, any excess of fair value of the
shares at the date of grant over the option price would be compensation
expense, recorded over the option period.
 
 STOCK PURCHASE PROGRAM
 
  Homestead may, prior to the closing of the Mergers, permit eight senior
officers to purchase shares of Homestead Common Stock under the stock purchase
program portion of the Incentive Plan, subject to board and shareholder
approval. Those officers may be offered the opportunity to purchase up to an
aggregate of 110,000 shares at $10.00 per share. The stock purchases would
provide for a two year restricted period during which the participants must
remain employed by Homestead. If a participant leaves the employ of Homestead
prior to the end of the restricted period, Homestead would have the right to
repurchase the shares at the original purchase price plus an imputed interest
rate. At the end of the two-year period, the participant would own the shares
without further restriction. In accordance with APB 25, any excess of fair
value of the shares at the date of sale over the sales price would be
compensation expense, recorded over the restriction period.
 
OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN
 
  Homestead has adopted an Outside Directors Plan, which has been approved by
Homestead's sole shareholder, under which up to 100,000 shares of Homestead
Common Stock may be subject to options (the "Outside Directors Plan"). Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan will have a five-year term and will
be immediately exercisable in whole or in part. Options to purchase 2,000
shares of Homestead Common Stock will be granted to outside directors under
the Outside Directors Plan as of the Distribution Record Date, at an exercise
price of $10.00 per share, and as of the date of each annual meeting of
shareholders of Homestead commencing in 1997, at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the Homestead Common Stock as of those dates. Options
granted under the Outside Directors Plan will provide that the option holder
may, in the event of the acquisition of 50% or more of the outstanding shares
of Homestead Common Stock as the result of any cash tender offer or exchange
offer (other than one made by Homestead), exercise the options immediately or
surrender the options, or any unexercised option thereof, to Homestead and
receive cash from Homestead equal to the difference between the exercise price
of each option and per share price of the tender offer or exchange offer,
multiplied by the number of shares of Homestead Common Stock for which options
are held.

             RELATIONSHIP WITH SECURITY CAPITAL GROUP INCORPORATED
 
  Prior to consummation of the Mergers, portions of Homestead's properties,
assets and operations were owned by subsidiaries of each of PTR, ATLANTIC and
SCG. SCG is a private real estate company which owns controlling positions in
several real estate operating companies, including PTR and ATLANTIC, and owns
several REIT managers which direct these operating businesses.
 
  Immediately after completion of the Transaction and the ATLANTIC IPO, SCG is
expected to beneficially own 7,816,488 shares of Homestead Common Stock or
approximately 44.0% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, not
including 2,243,038 shares which will be issued to and held in escrow by an
escrow agent pending funding of convertible mortgage loans under the Funding
Commitment Agreements. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
Agreement." Through its beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock, SCG
will control 44.0% of the vote on all matters submitted for Homestead
shareholder action. The foregoing share ownership information does not give
effect to the issuance of shares upon exercise of options or other awards
granted under the Incentive Plan. SCG will also own Homestead Warrants to
acquire an additional 4,840,789 shares of Homestead Common Stock, which, if
fully exercised, would increase SCG's beneficial ownership of Homestead Common
Stock to 56.0%. SCG may, over time, dispose of some of the shares of Homestead
Common Stock it acquires in the Transaction to reduce its beneficial ownership
in Homestead to below 50%. In addition, pursuant to an Investor Agreement
between SCG and Homestead, SCG will agree to exercise at the request of
Homestead all Homestead Warrants it receives in the Transaction. In exchange
for its agreement to exercise Homestead Warrants, Homestead will grant SCG the
right, among other things, to nominate up to two directors to the Homestead
Board, depending upon SCG's level of ownership of shares of Homestead Common
Stock, and to be consulted on certain business decisions made by Homestead. In
addition, pursuant to investor agreements with ATLANTIC and PTR, each of
ATLANTIC and PTR will have the right to nominate one director to the Homestead
Board. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--ATLANTIC and PTR Investor
Agreements" and "--SCG Investor Agreement".
 
  SCG has funded the development of the Homestead Village concept since 1991.
As part of the Transaction, SCG will contribute, for no additional
consideration, the Homestead Village trademark, the Homestead Village
operating system and Homestead Village properties which it is developing in
areas outside the target markets of PTR and ATLANTIC. SCG will also provide
financing to Homestead for additional developments undertaken between the
execution of the Merger Agreement and the Closing Date.
 
  Prior to the Mergers, Homestead obtained certain services from affiliates of
SCG and the SCG employees who performed services for Homestead under the PTR
and ATLANTIC REIT management agreements and the property management agreements
participated in a number of employee benefit plans maintained by SCG. Prior to
completion of the Transaction, SCG and Homestead will enter into certain
agreements relating to these matters. See "Business--Administrative Services
Agreement" and "Certain Relationships and Transactions".
 
                    CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND TRANSACTIONS
 
PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT
 
  Each of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG will enter into a protection of business
agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Protection of Business
Agreement") with Homestead which will prohibit PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG and their
respective affiliates from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the extended-
stay lodging business in the continental United States except through
Homestead and its subsidiaries. The Protection of Business Agreement also
prohibits Homestead from, directly or indirectly, engaging in the ownership,
operation, development, management or leasing of multifamily properties. The
Protection of Business Agreement does not prohibit any of PTR, ATLANTIC or SCG
from: (i) owning securities of Homestead; (ii) owning up to 5% of the
outstanding securities of another person engaged
 
                                     A-39
<PAGE>
 
in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging
properties, so long as they do not actively participate in the business of
such person; (iii) owning the outstanding securities of another person, a
majority owned subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of which is
engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay
lodging properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's consolidated
revenues are derived from such properties; and (iv) owning securities of
another person primarily engaged in business other than a business owning,
operating, developing, managing or leasing extended-stay lodging properties,
including a person primarily engaged in business as an owner, operator or
developer of hotel properties, whether or not such person owns, operates,
develops, manages or leases extended-stay lodging properties. The Protection
of Business Agreement does not prohibit Homestead from: (i) owning securities
of ATLANTIC, PTR or SCG; (ii) owning up to 5% of the outstanding securities of
another person engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing
garden style multifamily properties; and (iii) owning the outstanding
securities of another person, a majority owned subsidiary, division, group,
franchise or segment of which is engaged in owning, operating, developing,
managing or leasing garden style multifamily properties, so long as not more
than 5% of such person's consolidated revenues are derived from such
properties. The Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event
of an acquisition, directly or indirectly (other than by purchase from PTR,
ATLANTIC and SCG or their respective affiliates (as defined in the Protection
of Business Agreement)), by any person (or group of associated persons acting
in concert), other than PTR, ATLANTIC, SCG or their respective affiliates, of
25% or more of the outstanding shares of voting stock of Homestead, without
the prior written consent of the Homestead Board. Subject to earlier
termination pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Protection of Business
Agreement will terminate on the tenth anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
SCG INVESTOR AGREEMENT
 
  Homestead and SCG will enter into an investor agreement (the "SCG Investor
Agreement"), which will require SCG, upon notice from Homestead, to exercise
all of the Homestead Warrants (at an exercise price of $10.00 per share)
received by SCG in connection with the Transaction. Homestead may call for the
exercise of Homestead Warrants by SCG upon 10 days' prior written notice. The
SCG Investor Agreement, among other things, provides that, without having
first consulted with the nominee of SCG designated in writing, Homestead may
not seek Homestead Board approval of (i) Homestead's annual budget, (ii)
incurring expenses in any year exceeding (A) any line item in the annual
budget by 20% and (B) the total expenses set forth in the annual budget by 5%,
(iii) acquisitions or dispositions in a single transaction or group of related
transactions where the aggregate purchase price paid or received exceeds $5
million, (iv) new contracts with a service provider for (A) investment
management, property management or leasing services, or (B) that reasonably
contemplates annual contract payments by Homestead in excess of $200,000, (v)
the declaration or payment of any dividend or other distribution, (vi) the
approval of stock option plans, (vii) the offer or sale of any shares of stock
of Homestead or any securities convertible into shares of stock of Homestead
(other than the sale or grant of any stock or grants of options or exercise of
options granted under any benefit option plan approved by stockholders) and
(viii) the incurrence, restructuring, renegotiation or repayment of
indebtedness for borrowed money in which the aggregate amount involved exceeds
$5 million. The SCG Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as SCG owns
at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, Homestead
may not increase the number of persons serving on the Homestead Board to more
than seven. SCG also will be entitled to designate one or more persons as
directors of Homestead, as follows: (i) so long as SCG owns at least 10% but
less than 30% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, it is
entitled to nominate one person; and (ii) so long as SCG owns at least 30% of
the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, it is entitled to nominate
that number of persons as shall bear approximately the same ratio to the total
number of members of the Homestead Board as the number of shares of Homestead
Common Stock beneficially owned by SCG bears to the total number of
 
                                     A-40
<PAGE>
 
outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock, provided, that SCG shall be
entitled to designate no more than two persons so long as the Homestead Board
consists of no more than seven members. Any person who is employed by SCG or
who is an employee, a 25% shareholder or a director of any corporation of
which SCG is a 25% shareholder (except for Homestead) shall be deemed to be a
designee of SCG. The nominee(s) of SCG may, but need not, be the same
person(s) nominated by either PTR pursuant to the PTR Investor Agreement or
ATLANTIC pursuant to the ATLANTIC Investor Agreement.
 
  In addition, because SCG is an affiliate of Homestead, the SCG Investor
Agreement provides SCG with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain
specified circumstances, SCG may request, at any time after the first
anniversary of the date on which the Homestead Common Stock is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under either Section
12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, and on not more than three occasions,
registration of all of SCG's Homestead Common Stock pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act").
 
FUNDING COMMITMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  Pursuant to funding commitment agreements to be dated as of the Closing Date
(the "Funding Commitment Agreements") each of PTR and ATLANTIC will agree to
make mortgage loans to Homestead of up to $144,044,620 and $98,028,471,
respectively. The obligations of PTR and ATLANTIC are limited to a specific
dollar amount for each property identified in the respective Funding
Commitment Agreements. Upon any determination by Homestead to commence
development of a property identified in the Funding Commitment Agreement,
Homestead is required to notify PTR or ATLANTIC, as the case may be, and PTR
or ATLANTIC, as the case may be, is required to endeavor in good faith to fund
up to the full amount of its obligation with respect to such property.
Homestead is required to complete the development of such property consistent
with the development plans for such property. Each mortgage loan issued by
Homestead pursuant to a Funding Commitment Agreement will be convertible into
shares of Homestead Common Stock on the basis of one share of Homestead Common
Stock for every $11.50 of principal outstanding on the mortgage loan. The
obligation of Homestead to call for funding of, and the obligations of PTR and
ATLANTIC to provide funding for, the mortgage loans expires on March 31, 1998,
except with respect to properties for which Homestead has given notice that it
intends to develop. Interest on the mortgage loans accrues at the rate of 9%
on the unpaid principal balance, payable every six months. The mortgages are
scheduled to mature on October 31, 2006, and are not callable until five years
after the Closing Date. Homestead has pledged substantially all of its assets
as collateral for the mortgage loans.
 
  Pursuant to each Funding Commitment Agreement, PTR and ATLANTIC will provide
Homestead aggregate funding on such developments in the amounts of up to
approximately $129 million and $111 million, respectively, which amounts are
anticipated to be sufficient to complete the development of the respective
Homestead Village facilities contributed by them. PTR and ATLANTIC will
receive convertible mortgage notes in respect of such fundings in stated
amounts of up to approximately $144 million and $98 million, respectively. The
effect of these provisions is that PTR will fund $898,000 for each $1,000,000
principal amount of convertible mortgage loans and ATLANTIC will fund
$1,133,535 for each $1,000,000 principal amount of convertible mortgage loans.
The differences between the funded amounts and the stated amounts of the
convertible mortgage loans arise because the rate of return on the existing
Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR is projected to exceed the
rate of return on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR and
ATLANTIC to Homestead which are under construction or in pre-development
planning. In calculating the relative ownership interests of PTR and ATLANTIC,
SCG assumed that as of July 1, 1996 PTR would have 28 Homestead Village
facilities in operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC would have none.
In addition, SCG expects that the average property development costs for the
existing PTR Homestead Village properties will, on balance, be less than those
for the PTR and ATLANTIC Homestead Village properties projected to be built in
the future because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead
 
                                     A-41
<PAGE>
 
Village properties were in planning or under development during 1992 and 1993
when land prices and construction costs were less than they are now and are
anticipated to be over the next 18 months. The stated amount of the
convertible mortgage loans was determined based on a 9% interest rate to
provide an effective yield to each of PTR and ATLANTIC that is reflective of
the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on all of the
facilities contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
ATLANTIC AND PTR INVESTOR AGREEMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC and PTR will each enter into an investor and registration rights
agreement with Homestead (the "ATLANTIC and PTR Investor Agreements") pursuant
to which ATLANTIC and PTR each are entitled to designate one person for
nomination to the Homestead Board, and Homestead will use its best efforts to
cause the election of such nominee(s), until March 31, 1998 and for so long
thereafter as PTR or ATLANTIC has the right to convert in excess of $20
million in principal amount of loans made pursuant to the Funding Commitment
Agreement. Such nominee(s) may, but need not, be the same person(s) nominated
by SCG pursuant to the SCG Investor Agreement. In addition, Homestead has
granted to each of ATLANTIC and PTR registration rights with respect to the
issuance upon conversion and the distribution of all of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible mortgage
notes. Prior to the one-year anniversary of the date the Homestead Common
Stock is registered under the Exchange Act, each of ATLANTIC and PTR may
request one registration of those shares of Homestead Common Stock which are
issued upon conversion of any or all the convertible mortgage notes converted
during such one-year period and which it intends to distribute to its
stockholders. After such one-year anniversary, each of ATLANTIC and PTR may
request three additional registrations pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under
the Securities Act of all shares of Homestead Common Stock issued or issuable
upon conversion of the convertible mortgage notes. Such registration, except
for the fees and disbursements of counsel to ATLANTIC or PTR, shall be at the
expense of Homestead.
 
ESCROW AGREEMENT
 
  Pursuant to an escrow agreement to be dated the Closing Date (the "Escrow
Agreement") among Homestead, SCG and State Street Bank and Trust Company
("Escrow Agent"), a portion of the shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable
to SCG in the Transaction will be placed in an escrow account maintained with
the Escrow Agent. In general, as PTR and ATLANTIC advance funds to Homestead
in accordance with the terms of their respective Funding Commitment
Agreements, a portion of the shares of Homestead Common Stock in the escrow
account will be released to SCG, together with a proportionate amount of
accrued dividends, if any. On January 1, 2000, unless all of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock placed in the escrow account have been released to SCG
sooner in accordance with the provisions of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow
Agent will release to Homestead all of the shares of Homestead Common Stock
remaining in the escrow account. All dividends or other distributions paid by
Homestead in respect of the shares of Homestead Common Stock held in the
escrow account shall be retained by the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the
party to whom the related shares of Homestead Common Stock are ultimately
issued. The Escrow Agent will vote all shares of Homestead Common Stock held
in the escrow account proportionately in accordance with the vote of all other
Homestead shareholders as instructed by Homestead. In the event that
instructions are not received, the Escrow Agent will not vote such shares.
 
  Because the number of shares of Homestead Common Stock being received by SCG
is based on the anticipated future REIT management fees and property
management fees SCG would have received under existing agreements with PTR and
ATLANTIC for the 80 Homestead Village properties contributed to Homestead, net
of overhead of SCG related to those properties, and since many of the
contributed Homestead Village properties are either in the development or
planning stage, the purpose of the Escrow Agreement is to time SCG's receipt
of the shares of Homestead Common Stock pursuant to the Merger Agreement with
the time the properties are actually funded and supported by a completion
guaranty.

FINDER'S AGREEMENTS
 
  Pursuant to a series of agreements between PTR and the unaffiliated person
who brought the Homestead concept to PTR and certain of his affiliates
(collectively, "Finder"), Finder agreed to assist PTR in locating, developing
and operating temporary corporate affordable housing facilities. In accordance
with these agreements, Finder is entitled to receive: (i) with respect to four
Homestead properties currently in operation and located in the Dallas area
(collectively, the "Dallas Properties"), an annual amount of $535,000; (ii)
with respect to the first 35 Homestead facilities constructed by Homestead
(other than the Dallas Properties), an annual amount of $7,500 per property
(such amount subject to proportionate increase or decrease if the property has
less than 120 units or more than 150 units) for each fiscal year beginning on
the date the facility achieves 80% occupancy and provided that Homestead
expects to receive for such fiscal year an annual return from the facility
equal to 12% of its undepreciated cost in the facility; (iii) upon the sale of
any of the Dallas Properties to an unaffiliated third party, 20% of the net
proceeds, which are generally defined as the gain on sale received by
Homestead from the sale of such property (after deducting all closing costs
and commissions and after deducting Homestead's undepreciated cost of all
land, improvements and renovations); and (iv) upon the sale of any of the
other 35 properties to an unaffiliated third party, 10% of the net gain on
sale received by Homestead from the sale of such property (after deducting all
closing costs and commissions and after deducting Homestead's undepreciated
cost of all land, improvements and renovations). The annual payments for each
facility are payable until the earliest to occur of the sale of the facility
to an unaffiliated third party, a breach of the agreements by Finder (subject
to various cure provisions), and February 2043. In addition, Finder has
agreed, until December 31, 1996, not to compete, directly or indirectly, with
Homestead in certain states in which Homestead operates. Finder is not
affiliated with Homestead, PTR, ATLANTIC or SCG. Homestead does not currently
have an intention to sell any of its properties.

  As of October 8, 1996, there were 1,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued and outstanding, which were held of record by SCG. The following table
sets forth, as of October 8, 1996 and as adjusted to give effect to the
ATLANTIC IPO and the Transaction, certain information regarding the beneficial
ownership of Homestead Common Stock by each person who is expected to be the
beneficial owner of five percent or more of the outstanding Homestead Common
Stock, by each of Homestead's directors and Named Executive Officers, and by
all directors and executive officers of Homestead as a group. As of such date,

(2) These shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned of record by SC
    Realty Incorporated, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCG, and will be pledged
    to secure SCG's $300 million revolving line of credit facility with a
    syndicate of banks. As of October 8, 1996, there were $87 million of
    borrowings outstanding under the line of credit. The line of credit is
    also secured by securities owned by SCG of PTR, ATLANTIC, Security Capital
    Industrial Trust, a publicly-traded REIT affiliated with SCG, and Security
    Capital U.S. Realty, an entity based in Luxembourg that is affiliated with
    SCG and which invests in real estate operating companies in the United
    States. SCG estimates that the aggregate market value of the pledged
    securities exceeded $2.0 billion as of October 8, 1996. SCG was in
    compliance with all covenants under the line of credit as of June 30,
    1996. Does not include up to 2,243,038 shares of Homestead Common Stock
    which may be issued to SCG pursuant to the Escrow Ageement. See "Certain
    Relationships and Transactions--Escrow Agreement".
(3) Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own these shares of Homestead
    Common Stock, which will be owned by SCG, because Mr. Sanders, as Chairman
    and Chief Executive Officer of SCG, shares voting and dispositive power
    with respect to all shares of Homestead Common Stock owned by SCG. SCG and
    Mr. Sanders, in his capacity as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
    SCG, intend to play a major role in the direction of Homestead for the
    purpose of maximizing the value of Homestead.
(4) 3,154 of these shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned by Mr.
    Sanders directly. Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own 57,943 of
    these shares of Homestead Common Stock which will be owned by Sanders
    Partners Incorporated and CAMPR Partners Limited, family entities with
    respect to which Mr. Sanders shares voting and dispositive power, and
    2,722 of these shares of Homestead Common Stock will be owned by a
    foundation of which Mr. Sanders is a director.
(5) Does not include shares of Homestead Common Stock which may be issued
    under the Incentive Plan. See "Management--Long-Term Incentive Plan".
(6) Does not include shares of Homestead Common Stock which may be issued
    under the Outside Directors Plan. See "Management--Outside Directors
    Plan".
 
                      DESCRIPTION OF HOMESTEAD SECURITIES
 
  The following summary of the terms of the securities of Homestead does not
purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by
reference to the Homestead Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been filed
as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus forms a
part.
 
GENERAL
 
  The authorized stock of Homestead consists of 250,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value per share. The Homestead Board may classify or
reclassify any unissued shares of stock from time to time by setting or
changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers,
restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions,
qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of such stock. No holder
of any class of stock of Homestead will have any preemptive right to subscribe
to any securities of Homestead except as may be granted by the Homestead Board
in authorizing the issuance of a class of preferred stock. Under Maryland law,
stockholders are generally not liable for Homestead's debts or obligations.
For a description of certain provisions that could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, see "Risk Factors--
Limitations on Changes in Control", "Certain Relationships and Transactions--
SCG Investor Agreement" and "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of
Homestead's Charter and Bylaws".
 
  The transfer agent and registrar for the Homestead Common Stock is The First
National Bank of Boston, 150 Royall Street, Canton, Massachusetts 02021.
 
HOMESTEAD COMMON STOCK
 
  The outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock are fully paid and non-
assessable. Each share of Homestead Common Stock entitles the holder to one
vote on all matters requiring a vote of stockholders, including the election
of directors. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes in
the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares
 
                                     A-45
<PAGE>
 
of Homestead Common Stock can elect all of the directors then standing for
election. Stockholders are entitled to such dividends as may be authorized
from time to time by the directors out of assets legally available therefor.
 
  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of
Homestead, holders of Homestead Common Stock will be entitled, subject to the
preferential rights of holders of preferred stock, if any, to share ratably in
the assets of Homestead remaining after provision for payment of liabilities
to creditors.
 
  All shares of Homestead Common Stock have equal distribution, liquidation
and other rights, and shall have no preference, appraisal, conversion or
exchange rights. Upon completion of the Distribution, 17,749,735 shares of
Homestead Common Stock will be issued and outstanding (including the 2,243,038
shares held in escrow).
 
PREFERRED STOCK
 
  The Homestead Board is empowered by the Homestead Charter, without the
approval of stockholders, to cause shares of preferred stock to be issued in
one or more series and to determine, among other things, the number of
preferred shares of each series and the rights, preferences, powers and
limitations of each series which may be senior to the rights of Homestead
Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of
delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Homestead and may
adversely affect the voting and other rights of stockholders. Upon completion
of the Transaction, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding and
Homestead has no present plans to issue any preferred stock following
completion of the Distribution other than as contemplated by the Rights
Agreement (as defined below).
 
PURCHASE RIGHTS
 
  On May 16, 1996, the Board of Directors authorized a dividend of one
Purchase Right for each share of Homestead Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on May 16, 1996 (the "Rights Record Date") to the holders of
Homestead Common Stock of record as of the Rights Record Date. The dividend
was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional shares of
Homestead Common Stock issued after the Rights Record Date and before the
redemption or expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one
Purchase Right for each such additional share. Each Purchase Right entitles
the registered holder under certain circumstances to purchase from Homestead
one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share of Homestead at a price of
$50.00 per one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase
Price"), subject to adjustment. The description and terms of the Purchase
Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement dated as of May 16, 1996 between
Homestead and The First National Bank of Boston, as rights agent (the "Rights
Agreement").
 
  The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earliest to occur of: (1) 10 business days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (excluding certain affiliates of Homestead) has acquired
beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of Homestead
Common Stock (thereby becoming an "Acquiring Person"); (2) 15 business days
(or such later date as may be determined by action of the Homestead Board
prior to such time as any person or group of affiliated persons becomes an
Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an
intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which
would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons
(excluding certain affiliates of Homestead) of 25% or more of the outstanding
shares of Homestead Common Stock; or (3) 15 business days (or such later date
as may be determined by action of the Homestead Board prior to such time as
any person becomes an Acquiring Person) after the date of filing by any person
of, or the first public anouncement of the intention of any person to file,
any application, request, submission or other document with any federal or
state regulatory authority seeking approval of, attempting to rebut any
presumption of control upon, or
 
                                     A-46
<PAGE>
 
otherwise indicating an intention to enter into, any transaction or series of
transactions (other than a transaction in which newly issued Homestead Common
Stock is issued directly by Homestead) the consummation of which would result
in any person (excluding certain affiliates of Homestead) becoming the
beneficial owner of Homestead Common Stock aggregating 25% or more of the then
outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock (the first to occur of such dates
being called the "Rights Distribution Date"). With respect to any of the stock
certificates outstanding as of the Rights Record Date, until the Rights
Distribution Date the Purchase Rights will be evidenced by such stock
certificate. Until the Rights Distribution Date (or earlier redemption or
expiration of the Purchase Rights), new stock certificates issued after the
Rights Record Date upon transfer or new issuance of shares of Homestead Common
Stock will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Homestead Board in good faith determines
that a person who would otherwise be an Acquiring Person under the Rights
Agreement has become such inadvertently, and such person divests as promptly
as practicable a sufficient number of shares of Homestead Common Stock so that
such person would no longer be an Acquiring Person, then such person shall not
be deemed to be an Acquiring Person for purposes of the Rights Agreement.
 
  The Purchase Rights will expire on May 16, 2006 (the "Final Expiration
Date"), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Purchase
Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by Homestead, in each case as
described below.
 
  The Purchase Price payable, and the number of Participating Preferred Shares
or other securities or property issuable, upon exercise of the Purchase Rights
are subject to adjustment under certain circumstances from time to time to
prevent dilution. With certain exceptions, no adjustment in the Purchase Price
will be required until cumulative adjustments require an adjustment of at
least 1% in such Purchase Price.
 
  Participating Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Purchase
Rights will not be redeemable. Each Participating Preferred Share will be
entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly distribution payment equal to the
greater of (i) $1 per share or (ii) 100 times the distribution declared per
share of Homestead Common Stock. Each Participating Preferred Share will have
100 votes, voting together with the shares of Homestead Common Stock. If
dividends payable on Participating Preferred Shares are in arrears in an
amount equal to at least six full quarterly dividends (whether or not declared
and whether or not consecutive), the holders of record of the outstanding
Participating Preferred Shares shall have the exclusive right, voting
separately as a single class, to elect two directors of Homestead until such
time as all arrears in dividends (whether or not declared) on the
Participating Preferred Shares shall have been paid or declared and set apart
for payment. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Participating
Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation
payment of $1 per share (plus any accrued and unpaid dividends) but will be
entitled to an aggregate payment of 100 times the payment made per share of
Homestead Common Stock. In the event of any merger, consolidation or other
transaction in which shares of Homestead Common Stock are exchanged, each
Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount
received per share of Homestead Common Stock. In the event of issuance of
Participating Preferred Shares upon exercise of the Purchase Rights, in order
to facilitate trading, a depositary receipt may be issued for each one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share. The Purchase Rights will be
protected by customary antidilution provisions.
 
  In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of shares of Homestead Common Stock
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price. In lieu of the issuance of shares of Homestead
Common Stock upon exercise of Purchase Rights, the Homestead Board may under
certain circumstances, and if there is an insufficient number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock authorized but unissued or held by Homestead to permit
the exercise in
 
                                     A-47
<PAGE>
 
full of the Purchase Rights, the Homestead Board is required to, take such
action as may be necessary to cause Homestead to issue or pay upon the
exercise of Purchase Rights, cash (including by way of a reduction of purchase
price), property, other securities or any combination of the foregoing having
an aggregate value equal to that of the shares of Homestead Common Stock which
otherwise would have been issuable upon exercise of Purchase Rights.
 
  In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
Homestead is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or
50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper
provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right will thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current
Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price.
 
  At any time after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior
to the acquisition by that person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding
shares of Homestead Common Stock, the Homestead Board may exchange the
Purchase Rights (other than Purchase Rights owned by that person or group
which will have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one
share of Homestead Common Stock (or one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred
Share) per Purchase Right (subject to adjustment).
 
  As soon as practicable after a Rights Distribution Date, Homestead is
obligated to use its best efforts to file a registration statement under the
Securities Act relating to the securities issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights and to cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as
practicable.
 
  At any time prior to the time a person or group of persons becomes an
Acquiring Person, the Homestead Board may redeem the Purchase Rights in whole,
but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Purchase Right (the "Redemption
Price") payable in cash, shares of Homestead Common Stock or any other form of
consideration deemed appropriate by the Homestead Board. The redemption of the
Purchase Rights may be made effective at such time, on such basis and with
such conditions as the Homestead Board in its sole discretion may establish.
Immediately upon the effectiveness of any redemption of the Purchase Rights,
the right to exercise the Purchase Rights will terminate and the only right of
the holders of Purchase Rights will be to receive the Redemption Price.
 
  The terms of the Purchase Rights may be amended by the Homestead Board
without the consent of the holders of the Purchase Rights, except that from
and after the time any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person no such amendment may adversely affect the
interests of the holders of the Purchase Rights and in no event shall any such
amendment change the 20% threshold at which a person acquiring beneficial
ownership of shares of Homestead Common Stock becomes an Acquiring Person.
 
  The Purchase Rights have certain anti-takeover effects. The Purchase Rights
will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire
Homestead on terms not approved by the Homestead Board, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned on a substantial number of Purchase Rights being acquired.
The Purchase Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business
combination approved by the Homestead Board since the Purchase Rights may be
redeemed by Homestead at the Redemption Price prior to the time that a person
or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the shares of
Homestead Common Stock. The foregoing description of the Purchase Rights does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to, the Rights Agreement, including the definitions therein of
certain terms, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission by Homestead (the
"Homestead Registration Statement").

HOMESTEAD WARRANTS
 
  The Homestead Warrants are to be issued under a Warrant Agreement (the
"Warrant Agreement") between Homestead and The First National Bank of Boston,
as Warrant Agent (the "Warrant Agent"). The following is a summary of the
material terms of the Homestead Warrants and the Warrant Agreement. The
summary is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, all
the provisions of the Homestead Warrants and the Warrant Agreement, including
the definitions therein of certain terms, a copy of which has been filed as an
exhibit to the Homestead Registration Statement.
 
 GENERAL
 
  Each Homestead Warrant will entitle the registered holder thereof, subject
to and upon compliance with the provisions thereof and of the Warrant
Agreement, at such holder's option, to purchase at an exercise price of $10.00
per share from Homestead one share of Homestead Common Stock. The number of
shares of Homestead Common Stock for which a Homestead Warrant may be
exercised is subject to adjustment as set forth in the Warrant Agreement.
 
  Homestead Warrants may be exercised at any time by surrendering the
certificate evidencing such Homestead Warrants (the "Warrant Certificates")
with the form of election to purchase shares set forth on the reverse side
thereof duly completed and executed by the holder thereof and paying in full
the exercise price for such Homestead Warrant at the office or agency
designated for such purpose, which will initially be the corporate trust
office of the Warrant Agent in New York, New York. Each Homestead Warrant may
be exercised only in whole and the exercise price may be paid only in cash or
by certified or official bank check. The Homestead Warrants will expire at
5:00 p.m., New York time, on the first anniversary of the Distribution Record
Date.
 
  The Warrant Certificates evidencing the Homestead Warrants may be
surrendered for exercise or exchange, and the transfer of Warrant Certificates
will be registrable, at the office or agency of Homestead maintained for such
purpose, which initially will be the corporate trust office of the Warrant
Agent in New York, New York. The Warrant Certificates will be issued only in
fully registered form. No service charge will be made for any exercise,
exchange or registration of transfer of Warrant Certificates, but Homestead
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.
 
  Fractional shares of Homestead Common Stock will not be issued upon exercise
of Homestead Warrants. In lieu thereof Homestead will pay a cash adjustment
based on the difference between the Current Market Value (as defined in the
Warrant Agreement) of a share of Homestead Common Stock on the date the
Warrant Certificate is surrendered for conversion and the exercise price of
the Homestead Warrants.
 
  Holders of Homestead Warrants will not be entitled, by virtue of being such
holders, to receive dividends, vote, receive notice of any meetings of
stockholders or otherwise have any right of stockholders of Homestead.
 
 ADJUSTMENTS
 
  The number of shares of Homestead Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a
Homestead Warrant (the "Exercise Rate") is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events, including (a) dividends or distributions on
Homestead Common Stock payable in Homestead Common Stock or certain other
stock of Homestead; (b) subdivisions, combinations or certain
reclassifications of Homestead Common Stock; (c) distributions to all holders
of Homestead Common Stock of rights, warrants or options entitling them to
subscribe for Homestead Common Stock at a price per share less than 94% of the
Current Market Value at the Time of Determination (each as defined in the
Warrant Agreement); (d) sales by Homestead of Homestead Common Stock or of
securities convertible into or
 
                                     A-49
<PAGE>
 
exchangeable or exercisable for Homestead Common Stock (other than pursuant to
(1) the exercise of the Homestead Warrants, (2) any security convertible into,
or exchangeable or exercisable for, Homestead Common Stock as to which the
issuance thereof has previously been the subject of any required adjustment
pursuant to the Warrant Agreement and (3) the conversion of any convertible
notes issued or issuable pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements) at a
price per share less than the Current Market Value at the Time of
Determination; and (e) distributions to stockholders of assets or debt
securities of Homestead or certain rights, warrants or options to purchase
assets, debt securities or other securities of Homestead (excluding cash
dividends or other cash distributions from consolidated retained earnings
other than any Extraordinary Cash Dividend (as defined in the Warrant
Agreement)). No adjustment in the Exercise Rate will be required unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%)
in the Exercise Rate; provided, that any adjustment that is not made will be
carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment.
 
  If Homestead is a party to a consolidation or merger, or certain transfers
of all or substantially all of its assets occur, a Homestead Warrant for
Homestead Common Stock shall automatically become exercisable for the kind and
amount of securities, cash or other assets which the holders of Homestead
Warrants would have received immediately after the consolidation, merger or
transfer if the holder exercised the Homestead Warrant immediately before the
effective date of the transaction.
 
  In the event of a taxable distribution to holders of Homestead Common Stock
which results in an adjustment to the number of shares of Homestead Common
Stock or other consideration for which a Homestead Warrant may be exercised,
the holders of the Homestead Warrants may, in certain circumstances, be deemed
to have received a distribution subject to United States Federal income tax.
 
CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES
 
  As of the Closing Date, Homestead will assume the $77,289,000 principal
amount of promissory notes of its predecessors in connection with funding the
acquisition and construction costs and expenses incurred in connection with
acquiring and developing various real properties as Homestead Village
properties. Pursuant to the Funding Commitment Agreements, PTR and ATLANTIC
have agreed to provide Homestead aggregate funding on the respective Homestead
Village properties contributed by them in the amounts of up to approximately
$129 million and $111 million, respectively. PTR and ATLANTIC will receive
convertible mortgage notes in respect of such fundings in stated amounts of up
to approximately $144 million and $98 million, respectively. The convertible
mortgage notes issued to PTR will be recorded for financial reporting purposes
by Homestead at a premium of approximately $15 million and the convertible
mortgage notes issued to ATLANTIC will be recorded by Homestead at a discount
of approximately $13 million, each of which will be amortized as an adjustment
to interest expense over the ten-year term of the mortgage notes using the
effective interest method. As described above, the relative ownership
percentages of PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG in Homestead were determined based upon
the relative value of the contributed assets assuming that all of the
properties to be contributed have been developed and are fully operating. PTR
and ATLANTIC have agreed to fund convertible mortgages to provide for the
development of the Homestead Village properties and to achieve their
respective ownership allocations. The funded amounts of PTR and ATLANTIC under
the convertible mortgages therefore are in amounts that are anticipated,
pursuant to currently existing development budgets, to be sufficient to
complete the development of the Homestead Village properties being contributed
by them, respectively. To determine the difference between the funded and
stated amounts of the convertible mortgage notes, SCG calculated a value of
Homestead's assets contributed in the Transaction by each of PTR, ATLANTIC and
SCG as of the end of 1998 assuming all properties were completely developed.
Such value ($496.9 million) was determined by SCG consistent with the
accounting treatment for the Transaction as described in the Pro Forma
Financial Statements included elsewhere herein. In
 
                                     A-50
<PAGE>
 
particular, such value was based on the assumption that only the 80 properties
currently operating, under construction or in pre-development planning are
completed by 1998 and did not take into account Homestead's plans to continue
an active development program, developing properties in a disciplined manner
in its target market. Such value was calculated solely for the purposes
described herein and should not be relied upon as an indication of the actual
fair market value of Homestead's assets. For purposes of determining the
amount of securities to be issued to PTR and ATLANTIC in the Transaction based
on the methodology used in determining the relative ownership percentages
described herein, 63.64% of the value of Homestead was allocated to PTR
(approximately $316.2 million) and 28.18% of the value of Homestead was
allocated to ATLANTIC (approximately $140.0 million). As described elsewhere,
SCG determined that 70% of the value allocated to PTR and ATLANTIC would be
issuable in convertible debt of Homestead and 30% would be issuable in common
equity. Therefore, the total value of the convertible mortgage notes issuable
to PTR was determined to be approximately $221.3 million (which amount
includes the approximately $77.3 million of convertible mortgage notes
currently outstanding) and the total value of the convertible mortgage notes
issuable to ATLANTIC was determined to be approximately $98.0 million. SCG
estimated that the total cost of the Homestead Village properties to be
contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC will be approximately $284.0 million and
$158.7 million, respectively. Seventy percent of these costs are attributable
to the convertible mortgage notes issuable to PTR (approximately $198.8
million) and ATLANTIC (approximately $111.1 million), respectively. The
difference between the $221.3 million of the value of the mortgages and the
$198.8 million of the expected costs equals the difference between the funded
and stated amounts of the convertible mortgage notes issuable to PTR. The
difference between the $98.0 million of the value of the mortgages and the
$111.0 million of the expected costs equals the difference between the funded
and stated amounts of the convertible mortgage notes issuable to ATLANTIC. The
differences between the funded amounts and the stated amounts of the
convertible mortgage loans arise because the rate of return on the existing
Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR is projected to exceed the
rate of return on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by PTR and
ATLANTIC to Homestead which are under construction or in pre-development
planning. This expected difference in the rates of return arises because, as
of July 1, 1996, PTR was expected to have 28 Homestead Village facilities in
operation and generating income, while ATLANTIC was expected to have none and
the average property development costs for the existing PTR Homestead Village
properties, on balance, was expected to be less than those for the PTR and
ATLANTIC Homestead Village properties projected to be built in the future
because a large portion of the existing PTR Homestead Village properties were
in planning or under development during 1992 and 1993 when land prices and
construction costs were less than they are now and are anticipated to be over
the next 18 months. Because of the foregoing factors, and as a result of
Homestead's desire to issue a single class of convertible mortgage notes,
bearing a 9% per annum interest rate, the stated amounts of the convertible
mortgage notes were adjusted to provide an effective yield (after giving
effect to the premium due to the issuance of the Homestead Warrants and the
convertibility of the mortgage notes--see footnote (j) to Homestead's Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet) to each of PTR (12.42% on a fully
funded basis) and ATLANTIC (8.46% on a fully funded basis) that is reflective
of the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on all of the
facilities contributed by PTR and ATLANTIC, respectively.
 
  Interest on the promissory notes accrues at the rate of 9% on the unpaid
principal balance payable every six months. The promissory notes are scheduled
to mature on October 31, 2006. Homestead has pledged substantially all of its
assets as collateral for the promissory notes. PTR and ATLANTIC have the
right, beginning on or after March 31, 1997, to convert all of the outstanding
principal amount of the promissory notes into shares of Homestead Common Stock
on the basis of one share of Homestead Common Stock for each $11.50 aggregate
principal amount outstanding on the promissory notes being converted. This
conversion rate is subject to adjustment on substantially the same terms as
the Homestead Warrants.

                   CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF
                        HOMESTEAD'S CHARTER AND BYLAWS
 
  The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and
the Homestead Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete
and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law
and the Homestead Charter and Bylaws.
 
CLASSIFICATION OF THE HOMESTEAD BOARD
 
  Homestead's Bylaws provide that the number of directors may be established
by the Homestead Board but may not be fewer than three nor more than fifteen.
Any vacancy will be filled, at any regular meeting or at any special meeting
called for that purpose, by a majority of the remaining directors, except that
a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors will be filled
by a majority of the entire Homestead Board. Pursuant to the Homestead
Charter, the directors are divided into three classes. At the 1997 annual
meeting of shareholders, one class will be elected to hold office initially
for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998,
another class will be elected to hold office initially for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999 and another class will
be elected to hold office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting
of shareholders to be held in 2000. As the term of each class expires,
directors in that class will be elected for a term of three years and until
their successors are duly elected and qualify. Homestead believes that
classification of the Homestead Board will help to assure the continuity and
stability of Homestead's business strategies and policies as determined by the
Homestead Board.
 
  The classified director provision could have the effect of making the
replacement of incumbent directors more time-consuming and difficult, which
could discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise
attempting to obtain control of Homestead, even though such an attempt might
be beneficial to Homestead and its shareholders. At least two annual meetings
of shareholders, instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change
in a majority of the Homestead Board. Thus, the classified board provision
could increase the likelihood that incumbent directors will retain their
positions.
 
DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION
 
  Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. The Homestead Charter
contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum
extent permitted by Maryland law.
 
  Homestead's officers and directors are and will be indemnified under the
Homestead Charter against certain liabilities. The Homestead Charter provides
that Homestead will, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect
from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in
advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a
present or former director or officer of Homestead or (b) any individual who,
while a director of Homestead and at the request of Homestead, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or
trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise. Homestead has the power, with the approval
of the Homestead Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of
expenses to a person who served a predecessor of Homestead in any of the
capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of
Homestead or its predecessors.
 
                                     A-52
<PAGE>
 
  Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Homestead Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who
has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any
proceeding to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service
in that capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present
and former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation. Maryland law permits Homestead to advance
reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon Homestead's receipt of (a) a
written affirmation by the director or officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification
by Homestead as authorized by Homestead's Bylaws and (b) a written statement
by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by Homestead
if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.
 
  Additionally, Homestead has entered into indemnity agreements with each of
its officers and directors which provide for reimbursement of all expenses and
liabilities of such officer or director, arising out of any lawsuit or claim
against such officer or director due to the fact that he or she was or is
serving as an officer or director, except for such liabilities and expenses
(a) the payment of which is judicially determined to be unlawful, (b) relating
to claims under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or (c) relating to
judicially determined criminal violations.
 
  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Homestead
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Homestead has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
 
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
 
  Under the MGCL, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
of such an Interested Stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most
recent date on which the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested
Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by
the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative
vote of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of
outstanding voting shares of the corporation and (b) two-thirds of the votes
entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation
other than shares held by the Interested Stockholder with whom (or with whose
affiliate) the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other
conditions, the corporation's common stockholders receive a minimum price (as
defined in the MGCL) for their shares and the consideration is received in
cash or in the same form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for
its shares. These provisions of the MGCL do not apply, however, to business
combinations that are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the
corporation prior to the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an
Interested Stockholder. The Homestead Board has exempted from these provisions
of the MGCL any business combination with SCG and its affiliates and
successors. As a result, SCG and its affiliates and successors may be able to
enter into business
 
                                     A-53

combinations with Homestead that may not be in the best interests of its
stockholders without compliance by Homestead with the super-majority vote
requirements and other provisions of the statute.
 
CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS
 
  Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation
acquired in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on
the matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power, would entitle the
acquiror to exercise voting power in electing directors within one of the
following ranges of voting power (except solely by virtue of a revocable
proxy): (i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more
but less than a majority, or (iii) a majority or more of all voting power.
Control Shares do not include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to
vote as a result of having previously obtained stockholder approval. A
"Control Share acquisition" means the acquisition of Control Shares, subject
to certain exceptions.
 
  A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.
If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the
question at any stockholders meeting.
 
  If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may
redeem any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights
have previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to
the absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the
last Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the
voting rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights
for Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror
becomes entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.
 
  The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.
 
  Homestead's Bylaws contain a provision exempting SCG and its affiliates and
successors from the provisions of the Control Share acquisition statute.
 
ADVANCE NOTICE PROVISIONS
 
  For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual
meeting of stockholders by a stockholder, the Homestead Bylaws require such
stockholder to deliver a notice to the Secretary, absent specified
circumstances, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the first
anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting setting forth: (i) as to
each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or
reelection as a director, all information relating to such person that is
required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of
directors, pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act; (ii) as to any
other business that the stockholder proposed to bring before the meeting, a
brief description of the business desired to be brought before
 
                                     A-54
<PAGE>
 
the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any
material interest in such business of such stockholder and of the beneficial
owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made; and (iii)
as to the stockholder giving the notice and beneficial owner, if any, on whose
behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such
stockholder as they appear on Homestead's books, and of such beneficial owner
and (y) the number of shares of each class of stock of Homestead which are
owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial
owner, if any.
 
                       SHARES AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
  Upon completion of the Mergers, Homestead will have 17,749,735 shares of
Homestead Common Stock (including the 2,243,038 shares held in escrow) and
Homestead Warrants to purchase 10,000,000 shares of Homestead Common Stock
issued and outstanding. All of the shares to be issued in the Distribution,
other than any shares purchased by affiliates, will be tradeable without
restriction under the Securities Act. The shares of Homestead Common Stock
currently issued and outstanding or reserved for issuance upon conversion of
the convertible mortgage notes or exercise of options will be eligible for
sale, subject to the volume resale, manner of sale and notice limitations of
Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
 
  In general, under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated
in accordance with the Rule) who has beneficially owned his or her shares of
Homestead Common Stock for at least two years, including any such persons who
may be deemed "affiliates" of Homestead (as defined in the Securities Act),
would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares of
Homestead Common Stock that does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then
outstanding number of shares or the average weekly trading volume of the
shares during the four calendar weeks preceding each such sale. After shares
are held for three years, a person who is not deemed an "affiliate" of
Homestead is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the
volume limitations described above. Sales of shares of Homestead Common Stock
by affiliates will continue to be subject to the volume limitations. As
defined in Rule 144, an "affiliate" of an issuer is a person that directly or
indirectly, through the use of one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by or is under common control with, such issuer.
 
  Homestead has granted SCG, which will beneficially own 7,816,488 shares of
Homestead Common Stock after the ATLANTIC IPO and the Transaction, and each of
PTR and ATLANTIC, certain registration rights. See "Certain Relationships and
Transactions--SCG Investor Agreement" and "--ATLANTIC and PTR Investor
Agreements".
 
  No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
shares or the availability of shares for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of shares
(including shares issued upon the exercise of warrants and options), or the
perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing
market price of the shares.

                PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET
 
                              AS OF JUNE 30, 1996
                                  (UNAUDITED)
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented as
if the following transactions had occurred on June 30, 1996; (I) the PTR-
Homestead Village Group including land parcels which were under contract as of
June 30, 1996 and expected to be acquired prior to the Closing Date, merged
with and into Homestead; (II) the acquisition of net assets of the Atlantic-
Homestead Village Group including land parcels which were under contract as of
June 30, 1996 and expected to be acquired prior to the Closing Date had been
completed; (III) the acquisition of the net assets of SCG-Homestead Village
Group had occurred. Such pro forma information is based in part on the
historical Combined Balance Sheets of the PTR-Homestead Village Group, the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group. It
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements listed in the
index page F-1 of this Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments
necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.
 
  In accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Funding Commitment
Agreement, the PTR-Homestead Village Group will contribute a total of 54
facilities either in operation, under construction or in pre-development
planning. Similarly, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group will contribute a
total of 26 facilities either in operation, under construction or in pre-
development planning. Subsequent to the Closing Date, PTR and Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") will be obligated to provide the additional
funding to complete the development of the facilities contributed. The Pro
Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet excludes expected development costs
related to the properties under development or planned to be developed and the
related convertible mortgage notes for the period July 1, 1996 through
ultimate completion of the facilities and therefore is not reflective of the
entire transaction.
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is not
necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position would have been
assuming these transactions had been completed as of June 30, 1996, nor does
it purport to represent the future financial position of Homestead.

(a) Reflects the historical combined balance sheet of the PTR-Homestead
    Village Group as of June 30, 1996, which is presented elsewhere in this
    registration statement.
(b) Reflects the conversion of convertible mortgage notes of the PTR-Homestead
    Village Group to capital contributed as a result of the Transaction. In
    accordance with the Merger Agreement, PTR will receive all of its shares
    of Homestead Common Stock at the Closing Date (representing 30% of the
    fair market value of its assets contributed at full funding). Based on the
    pro forma costs at the Closing Date, the face value of the convertible
    mortgages would be limited to $67,347. Therefore, the balance of
    convertible mortgage notes payable at June 30, 1996 ($77,289) less the
    maximum convertible mortgage notes payable at the Closing Date ($67,347)
    equals the convertible mortgage notes converted to capital ($9,942).
(c) Reflects the land to be acquired by the PTR-Homestead Village Group
    subsequent to June 30, 1996 and prior to the Closing Date. The land
    consists of nine separate parcels of developed land that will be
    contributed to Homestead unencumbered by any mortgage or other financial
    obligation at the Closing Date. The PTR-Homestead Village Group intends to
    acquire these parcels utilizing capital contributed by its parent company,
    PTR.
(d) Reflects the conversion of intercompany debt of the PTR-Homestead Village
    Group to contributed capital in accordance with the Merger Agreement.
(e) Reflects the capitalization of Homestead through the issuance of 1,000
    shares of Homestead Common Stock in exchange for $1.
(f) Reflects the issuance of 9,485,727 shares of Homestead Common Stock to PTR
    in exchange for the net assets of the PTR-Homestead Village Group. This
    transaction is accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common
    control and accordingly, assets and liabilities are reflected at the PTR-
    Homestead Village Group's historical cost. Additionally, PTR would receive
    6,363,789 warrants to purchase additional shares of Homestead Common Stock
    at the exercise price of $10 per share for its commitment to provide
    funding under the Funding Commitment Agreement. Management of PTR,
    ATLANTIC and other affiliates of SCG ("Management") determined the
    exercise price of the warrants and believes that $10 per share represents
    adequate consideration for a share of Homestead Common Stock. See (j)
    below for determination of the value and accounting treatment of the
    Homestead Warrants described herein.
(g) Reflects the acquisition of the net assets of the Atlantic-Homestead
    Village Group by Homestead based on the estimated fair market value of the
    net assets acquired through the issuance to ATLANTIC of Homestead Common
    Stock. Estimated fair market value for all parties in the transaction is
    based on the relative fair value of the net assets received by Homestead
    as used in determining the relative ownership percentages of PTR, ATLANTIC
    and SCG in Homestead. The methodology used was based upon the present
    values of the cash flows of the contributions made by each such party.
    With respect to each of PTR and ATLANTIC, SCG prepared those present
    values by discounting the future net cash flows for the 80 identified
    Homestead Village properties in operation, under construction or in pre-
    development planning at July 1, 1996 which will be contributed by each of
    them to Homestead in connection with the Mergers. With respect to SCG, SCG
    calculated the present value of the cash flows from the PTR and ATLANTIC
    REIT management fees and property management fees which SCG would have
    received from such 80 Homestead Village properties, net of operating
    overhead. Listed below is a reconciliation of the historical cost of the
    net assets acquired to the pro forma estimated fair market value
    acquisition cost, followed by explanations of the pro forma acquisition
    adjustments.

    (i) Reflects estimated costs of $9,028 relating to the acquisition of
  eight parcels of land under contract to be acquired for cash, subsequent to
  June 30, 1996 and prior to the Closing Date. Also included is $4,076 which
  represents the amount by which the estimated fair market value of the net
  assets acquired exceeds the historical cost basis. This excess has been
  attributed to property and equipment as Management believes that the
  carrying amount of the remaining assets and liabilities approximates fair
  value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The acquisition
  cost was determined by Management. The fair market value of the property
  and equipment was estimated using a premium over cost, which Management
  believes is reasonable considering value added during the development
  process.
    (ii) Reflects, for pro forma purposes, cash of $19,566 contributed by
  ATLANTIC as partial consideration for the Homestead stock received. The
  cash payment is necessary to facilitate ATLANTIC's receipt of its entire
  share of common stock on the Closing Date in accordance with the Merger
  Agreement. (The actual cash dollar amount paid is expected to be reduced to
  approximately $18,600 by the Closing Date as a result of development costs
  incurred between June 30, 1996 and the Closing Date.)
    (iii) Reflects the conversion of all intercompany debt into contributed
  capital immediately prior to the Transaction.
    (iv) Reflects the impact on shareholders' equity of adjustments (i), (ii)
  and (iii) above. Based upon the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC will receive
  4,201,220 shares of Homestead Common Stock having a value of $51,699. Such
  value was determined based on the assumed value of the Homestead Common
  Stock of approximately $12.31 per share (the "Assumed Value"), which is
  based solely on the estimated fair market value of the net assets
  contributed by PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG. This per share amount is not intended
  as an indication of the price at which shares of Homestead Common Stock may
  actually trade and no assurance can be given as to the price at which the
  shares of Homestead Common Stock will trade. Additionally, ATLANTIC will
  receive 2,818,517 Homestead Warrants to purchase additional shares of
  Homestead Common Stock at the exercise price of $10 per share in exchange
  for entering into the Funding Commitment Agreement. Management determined
  the exercise price of the Homestead Warrants and concluded that $10 per
  share represents adequate consideration for a share of Homestead Common
  Stock. See (j) below for determination of the value and accounting
  treatment of the Homestead Warrants described herein.
(h) Reflects the acquisition of the net assets of SCG-Homestead Village Group
    by Homestead based on the estimated fair market value of the net assets
    acquired through the issuance to SCG of Homestead Common Stock. For a
    description of the determination of the estimated fair market value of the
    net assets acquired, see (g) above. Listed below is a reconciliation of
    the historical cost of the net assets acquired to the pro forma estimated
    fair market value acquisition cost, followed by explanations of the pro
    forma acquisition adjustments.

    (i) The net assets acquired primarily consist of trademarks, tradenames,
  development and property management expertise, as well as operating systems
  necessary to conduct the business of developing, owning and operating the
  Homestead Village properties. The estimated fair market value of the net
  assets acquired is approximately $49,995 for which Homestead will issue
  4,062,788 shares of $.01 par value common stock. At the Closing Date, SCG
  will receive a pro rata portion (1,773,186) of the total shares, based upon
  the ratio (43.66%) of actual funding provided by PTR and ATLANTIC to
  Homestead as of June 30, 1996 to the total expected funding to be provided,
  as more fully described in the Prospectus (the 1,773,186 shares issued to
  SCG is expected to increase to 1,819,750 shares issued at the Closing Date
  as a result of development costs incurred between June 30, 1996 and the
  Closing Date). Correspondingly, the proportional amount of the estimated
  fair market value recorded at the Closing Date is approximately $21,828, of
  which approximately $20,468 has been attributed to the trademarks and other
  intangible assets listed above. Management intends to amortize the
  intangible assets on a straight-line basis over a period of 20 years. The
  $20,468 has been attributed to these intangibles as Management believes
  that the carrying amount of the remaining assets and liabilities
  approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments.
  The $1,360 ($21,828-$20,468) difference represents the historical cost of
  the net assets of SCG after adjustment for (ii) and (iii) below. The
  identification of the trademark and other intangible assets listed above
  and the determination of the acquisition cost of the net assets was made by
  Management. A discounted cash flow method was used by Management to
  estimate fair market value.
    (ii) Reflects an adjustment to reduce accrued expenses and other
  liabilities for employee-related liabilities which will not be assumed by
  Homestead. Such adjustment is reflected as an addition to contributed
  capital.
    (iii) Reflects the conversion of all intercompany debt into contributed
  capital immediately prior to the Transaction.
    (iv) Reflects the impact on shareholders' equity of adjustments (i), (ii)
  and (iii) above. Additionally, SCG will receive 817,694 Homestead Warrants
  to purchase additional shares of Homestead Common Stock at the exercise
  price of $10 per share in exchange for the commitment to provide funding to
  Homestead during the time between the execution of the Merger Agreement and
  the Closing Date and the use of office facilities for one year. Management
  determined the exercise price of the Homestead Warrants and concluded that
  $10 per share represents adequate consideration for a share of stock of
  Homestead. See (j) below for determination of the value and accounting
  treatment of the Homestead Warrants described herein.
(i) Reflects estimated expenses of consummating the Transaction.
(j) Reflects the financing costs incurred by Homestead as a result of the
    Funding Commitment Agreements with PTR and ATLANTIC and the other
    consideration received from SCG described in (iv) above. The 10,000,000
    Homestead Warrants to be issued to PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG were valued based
    on the difference between the Assumed Value of Homestead Common Stock and
    the $10 exercise price of the Homestead Warrants ($23,100). Additional
    financing costs were incurred by Homestead equal to the difference in the
    Assumed Value of the Homestead Common Stock and the $11.50 conversion
    price of the convertible mortgages to be assumed by Homestead at the
    Closing Date ($4,744). $25,955 of these costs will be amortized by
    Homestead using the effective interest rate method at an effective
    combined yield of 11.05% over the 10 year term of the convertible
    mortgages. The deferred costs related to the consideration provided by SCG
    ($1,889) will be amortized over a period not to exceed one year.
(k) The remaining 2,289,602 shares of Homestead Common Stock will be issued to
    an escrow agent and held for SCG. As each property is funded under the
    Funding Commitment Agreements, the shares of Homestead Common Stock will
    be transferred to SCG. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Escrow
    Agreement".

                        HOMESTEAD VILLAGE INCORPORATED
             PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of
Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead") are presented as if: I) Homestead
was capitalized and the PTR-Homestead Village Group merged into Homestead; II)
the PTR-Homestead Village Group acquired land parcels which were under
contract as of June 30, 1996 and expected to close prior to the Closing Date;
and III) Homestead acquired the net assets of the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group through the issuance of shares of
Homestead Common Stock and Homestead Warrants as of January 1, 1995. The
financial statements and related footnotes of the PTR-Homestead Village Group,
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group are
presented elsewhere in this registration statement. The statements also
include estimated incremental expenses related to operating a publicly held
company as if it were publicly held as of January 1, 1995. Such pro forma
information is based in part upon the Historical Combined Statements of
Operations of the PTR-Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group. It should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements listed in the index on page F-1 of this
Prospectus. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made.
 
  The unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations are
not necessarily indicative of what Homestead's actual results of operations
would have been assuming such transactions had been completed as of January 1,
1995, nor do they purport to present the results of operations for future
periods. Results of operations and the related earnings or loss per share will
be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, the total
number of extended-stay lodging facilities opened and operated and the related
operating results thereon, interest cost incurred on indebtedness, corporate
operating and management expenses, development and acquisition costs and the
number of shares issued. Additionally, the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated
Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.

(a) Reflects the historical combined statements of operations of the PTR-
    Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group and the SCG-
    Homestead Village Group, which are presented elsewhere in this
    registration statement.
(b) Reflects the elimination of intercompany REIT and property management fee
    income and expense which will no longer be paid since Homestead will be
    self-managed.
(c) Reflects the adjustment for development overhead costs incurred by the
    SCG-Homestead Village Group in conjunction with the acquisition of land
    and the development of the extended-stay lodging facilities that will now
    be incurred and capitalized by Homestead in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles. Development overhead costs consisted
    primarily of payroll and related benefits and are included in the
    historical financial statements of the SCG-Homestead Village Group.
(d) Reflects the additional costs of operating as a public company for the six
    months ended June 30, 1996 including additional salaries and benefits
    ($88) and legal, accounting and other professional fees ($75).
(e) Depreciation is computed utilizing the straight-line method over the
    estimated useful lives of 20 to 40 years for buildings and improvements
    and 2 to 7 years for equipment. This treatment is consistent with the
    historical financial statements and, therefore, no pro forma adjustment is
    necessary. Trademark and other intangible assets are being amortized over
    a period of 20 years. Amortization totaled $512 for the six months ended
    June 30, 1996. Upon release of the escrowed shares to SCG additional
    trademark and other intangibles of $28,167 would be recorded and
    amortization for the six months would increase by $704. Net loss for the
    six months ended June 30, 1996, as adjusted for the increase in
    amortization, would be ($905) or ($.03) per common share.
(f) Reflects the adjustment to reduce interest expense as a result of the
    conversion of $9,942 of convertible mortgage notes, bearing interest at 9%
    and $30,110 of intercompany debt, bearing interest at rates between 8% and
    8.25% to contributed capital.
(g) Prior to the proposed transaction, the PTR-Homestead Village Group and the
    Atlantic-Homestead Village Group were taxed as qualified real estate
    investment trust subsidiaries under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
    amended. The SCG-Homestead Village Group was a subsidiary of a Subchapter
    C corporation, which has experienced operating losses since its inception.
    Therefore, as described further in the historical combined financial
    statements of the PTR-Homestead Village Group, the Atlantic-Homestead
    Village Group and the SCG-Homestead Village Group, which appear elsewhere
    in this registration statement, no provision was required for federal or
    state income taxes.
  Homestead will be taxed as a Subchapter C corporation and, as such, will be
  subject to federal and any applicable state income taxes. The components of
  the pro forma adjustment for income taxes consist of the following:

    upon the assumed issuance of 17,750 total shares of Homestead Common
    Stock, including the shares in escrow, at the beginning of the period.
    Additionally, reflects the assumed conversion of the 9% convertible
    mortgage notes into 5,856 shares of Homestead Common Stock at the
    conversion price or $11.50 per share which is less than the Assumed Value
    or the Homestead Common Stock. Similarly, the 10,000 Homestead Warrants,
    which are exercisable at $10 per share were considered common stock
    equivalents since the exercise price is less than the Assumed Value of the
    Homestead Common Stock.
(i) Reflects the amortization of deferred financing costs described in note
    (j) to the Homestead Pro forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
and combined 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 combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles. Also in our opinion, the related combined financial statement
schedule, when considered in relation to the basic combined financial
statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the
information set forth therein.

                        THE PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of PTR Homestead Village Incorporated and its
consolidated limited partnership, PTR Homestead Village Limited Partnership,
hereinafter collectively referred to as the PTR-Homestead Village Group. PTR
Homestead Village Incorporated directly owns a 99% limited partner interest in
PTR Homestead Village Limited Partnership and through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, also owns a 1% general partner interest. PTR Homestead Village
Incorporated is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Security Capital Pacific Trust, a
real estate investment trust, ("PTR"). Each of the entities comprising the
PTR-Homestead Village Group were formed in 1995. Prior to formation, the
activities of these entities were performed within PTR. Such activities have
been carved out of PTR for purposes of inclusion in the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group are being presented on a combined basis as PTR Homestead Village
Incorporated is expected to be subject to a merger transaction with certain
affiliated groups of entities in which Homestead Village Incorporated will own
and operate these properties subsequent to the merger transaction. (See the
Prospectus for a description of the merger transaction.) Management of PTR
believes that the combined financial statements results in a more meaningful
presentation than presenting the separate historical financial statements of
each entity.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group develops, owns and manages extended-stay
lodging facilities located primarily in the western part of the United States
designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. Rooms are generally rented on a
weekly basis to guests such as business travelers, professionals and others,
with most guests staying multiple weeks.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Property and Equipment
 
  Property and equipment is carried at cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value. Costs directly related to the acquisition,
renovation or development of real estate are capitalized. Repairs and
maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
 
  Depreciation is computed utilizing a straight-line method over the estimated
economic lives of depreciable property. Properties are depreciated principally
over the following useful lives:

 Other Assets
 
  Other assets consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the
pursuit of land to be acquired for development including refundable earnest
money deposits of $175,000 and $795,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively and $1,075,000 at June 30, 1996. Costs incurred in connection
with the pursuit of unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at
the time the pursuit is abandoned.
 
 Revenue Recognition
 
  Room revenue and other income are recognized when earned, utilizing the
accrual method of accounting. A provision for possible bad debts is made when
collection of receivables is considered doubtful.
 
 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The companies comprising the PTR-Homestead Village Group are qualified
subsidiaries of PTR, which has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment
trust ("REIT").
 
  REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution
and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. PTR has met each of those
tests for each of the years and interim periods for which combined financial
statements are presented. Accordingly, no income tax provision or benefit has
been reflected in the combined financial statements of the PTR-Homestead
Village Group for the periods presented.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other
assets, development costs payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximates fair value as of December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996
because of the short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the carrying
value of the intercompany debt and convertible mortgage notes payable
approximates fair value as of those dates as the interest rates approximate
market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of such combined financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the PTR-Homestead Village Group future results of
operations for the full year ending December 31, 1996.

</TABLE>
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group's strategy is to focus on the ownership of
extended-stay lodging facilities. Properties are periodically evaluated for
impairment by comparing the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows
to the carrying value of the assets and in the event the carrying value
exceeds such cash flows provisions for possible losses, measured as the amount
by which the carrying value exceeds such cash flows, are made if required. No
such impairment losses have been recognized to date. Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 entitled "Accounting For The Impairment Of Long-
Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of" has been adopted by
the PTR-Homestead Village Group, as required by the statement effective
January 1, 1996. The adoption of the statement had no impact on the combined
financial statements at the date of adoption.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
4. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL:
 
  The combined financial statements of the PTR-Homestead Village Group reflect
intercompany debt assumed to have been borrowed from PTR to fund the
acquisition and development of the Homestead Village properties.
 
Acquisition and development costs were assumed to have been financed through
borrowings from PTR up through the completion date of each respective
property. Upon completion of a property, 30% of the intercompany debt
associated with the property was assumed to have been converted to contributed
capital. This assumption was made to reflect the ultimate leverage ratio (70%
convertible mortgage debt and 30% common equity) expected to exist within
Homestead after the funding commitment is fulfilled. Borrowings were assumed
to bear interest at the weighted average interest rate of PTR's line of credit
and unsecured long term debt which rates ranged from 6.3% to 9.25% for the
period from January 1, 1993 through June 30, 1996. Interest costs were either
expensed or capitalized in accordance with the PTR-Homestead Village Group's
accounting policy for capitalization of interest cost discussed above.
Approximately $77,289,000 of intercompany debt was converted to convertible
mortgage notes payable in January 1996 (Note 5).
 
5. CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:
 
  On January 24, 1996, the entities comprising the PTR-Homestead Village Group
(the "Borrower") executed convertible mortgage notes payable in favor of PTR.
Approximately $77 million of these notes are outstanding at June 30, 1996 and
are secured by currently owned Homestead Village properties. Additionally,
these notes will further be secured by land to be acquired and developed. The
terms of the notes provide for interest only payments of 9% per annum with
payments beginning six months from the date of the note. The notes are due and
payable on or before October 31, 2006.
 
  The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of PTR, into common shares
of the Borrower at any time beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion price is
equal to 115% of the value of the common shares at the date of the note, as
determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower.
 
6. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS:
 
  PTR has a REIT management agreement with Security Capital Pacific
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), a subsidiary of Security Capital Group
Incorporated ("SCG"), which is a significant shareholder of PTR. The REIT
Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management of PTR, including
research, investment analysis, acquisition and development, asset management,
capital markets, and legal and accounting services. All officers of PTR are
employees of the REIT Manager and PTR has no employees.
 
  The REIT management agreement requires PTR to pay a stipulated base annual
fee plus 16% of cash flow, as defined in the agreement. The PTR-Homestead
Village Group's allocable share of the REIT management fee was based on 16% of
its properties defined cash flow. Such fees, which are included in corporate
operating expenses in the accompanying statements of operations, were as
follows:

  Additionally, in 1995, the PTR-Homestead Village Group entered into property
management agreements with Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty") to manage its operating properties. Prior to 1995, such agreements
were with SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty"). Both Homestead
Realty and SCG Realty are wholly-owned subsidiaries of SCG. Fees for such
services are computed as a percentage (5.0%-7.0%) of gross revenues, as
defined. Such fees, which are included in property operating expenses in the
accompanying statements of operations, were as follows:

  Accrued expenses include $55,000 and $470,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively and $526,000 at June 30, 1996 payable to these affiliates for the
REIT and property management services including amounts owed for reimbursement
of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the REIT Manager.
 
7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
 Finder's Agreements
 
  Pursuant to a series of agreements between PTR and an unaffiliated person
("Finder") who developed the Homestead Village concept, Finder has performed
certain services. The agreements which expire February 5, 2043, provide for
the payment of fees to Finder as follows: (i) $535,000 annually with respect
to the four properties for which Finder assisted in the location, development
and initial operations; (ii) an annual amount of $7,500 per property (subject
to certain conditions as defined in the agreements) for assistance in site
location with respect to the first 35 properties constructed (other than the
four properties referred to in (i) above); (iii) 20% of the net proceeds as
defined per the agreements, upon the sale of the four properties to an
unaffiliated third party; and (iv) 10% of the net proceeds as defined per the
agreement, upon the sale of the additional 35 properties to an unaffiliated
third party. No such sales have occurred to date. Fees paid under this
agreement and reflected in the accompanying combined statements of operations
for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 aggregated approximately
$120,000, $646,000 and $611,000, respectively, and $300,000 and $320,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Effective December
1994, the agreement to assist in the site location of any additional
properties beyond the 39 properties was terminated. Additionally, Finder has
agreed not to compete, directly or indirectly, with the Homestead Village
properties in certain states in which PTR does business through December 31,
1996.
 
 Other
 
  At June 30, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of approximately $24.3
million.
 
  The PTR-Homestead Village Group is subject to environmental regulations
related to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real
estate. As part of its due diligence procedures, the PTR-Homestead Village
Group has conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each property prior
to acquisition. The cost of complying with environmental regulations was not
material to PTR-Homestead Village Group's results of operations for any of the
periods presented. The PTR-Homestead Village Group is not aware of any
environmental condition on any of its properties which is likely to have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Owners of
The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of the Atlantic-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1995 and
the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and cash flows
for the period from April 3, 1995 (date of formation) through December 31,
1995. In connection with our audit, we also have audited the accompanying
Schedule III, Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation. These combined
financial statements and combined financial statement schedule are the
responsibility of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements
and combined financial statement schedule based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Atlantic-
Homestead Village Group as of December 31, 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the period from April 3, 1995 (date of
formation) through December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related combined financial
statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic combined
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.

                     THE ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of Alabama Homestead Incorporated, Atlantic Homestead
Village Incorporated and its consolidated limited partnership, Atlantic
Homestead Village Limited Partnership, hereinafter collectively referred to as
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group. Through various wholly-owned
subsidiaries, Atlantic Homestead Village Incorporated owns a 99% limited
partner and a 1% general partner interest in Atlantic Homestead Village
Limited Partnership. Alabama Homestead Incorporated and Atlantic Homestead
Village Incorporated are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Capital
Atlantic Incorporated, a real estate investment trust ("ATLANTIC"). The
entities comprising the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group were formed
commencing April 3, 1995.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group are being presented on a combined basis as Alabama Homestead
Incorporated and Atlantic Homestead Village Incorporated are expected to be
subject to a merger transaction with certain affiliated groups of entities in
which Homestead Village Incorporated will own and operate the properties
subsequent to the merger transaction (See "The Transaction" included elsewhere
in the Prospectus for a description of the merger transaction). Management of
ATLANTIC believes that the combined financial statements result in a more
meaningful presentation than presenting the separate historical financial
statements of each entity.
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group develops, owns and manages extended-
stay lodging facilities located in the southeastern region of the United
States designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. Rooms are generally
rented on a weekly basis to guests such as business travelers, professionals
and others, with most guests staying multiple weeks.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Properties Under Development
 
  As of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group had three properties and 11 properties under development, respectively.
Costs directly related to the acquisition, development or improvement of real
estate are capitalized. Property under development is carried at cost, which
is not in excess of estimated fair market value.
 
 Interest
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group capitalizes interest incurred during
the land development or construction period for qualifying projects. Interest
capitalized is included in the cost of properties in the accompanying combined
financial statements. All interest incurred was capitalized and amounted to
$35,528 for the period ended December 31, 1995 and $365,696 for the six months
ended June 30 , 1996. No interest was paid through June 30, 1996. All interest
was added to the intercompany debt balance as incurred.
 
 Other Assets
 
  Other assets consist primarily of costs incurred in connection with the
pursuit of land to be acquired for development including refundable earnest
money deposits of $950,000 and $1,319,000 at December 31, 1995 and June 30,
1996, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with the pursuit of
unsuccessful acquisitions or developments are expensed at the time the pursuit
is abandoned.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
 
 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  The companies comprising the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group are qualified
subsidiaries of ATLANTIC, a corporation which has elected to be taxed as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT").
 
  REITs are not required to pay federal income taxes if minimum distribution
and income, asset and shareholder tests are met. ATLANTIC has met each of
those tests for each of the periods for which combined financial statements
are presented. Accordingly, no income tax provision or benefit has been
reflected in the combined financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group for the periods presented.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, development costs payable and accrued expenses approximates
fair value as of December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996 because of the short
maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the carrying value of the
intercompany debt approximates fair value as of those dates as the weighted
average interest rates approximate market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management all
adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation of such combined financial statements have been included.
The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group future results
of operations for the full year ending December 31, 1996.
 
3. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL:
 
  The combined financial statements of the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group
reflect intercompany debt assumed to have been borrowed from ATLANTIC to fund
the acquisition and development of the Homestead Village properties.
Borrowings were assumed to bear interest at the weighted average interest rate
of ATLANTIC'S debt, which was approximately 8.00% and 7.5% at December 31,
1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively. Interest costs were capitalized in
accordance with the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's accounting policy for
capitalization of interest cost discussed above. All net operating costs and
expenses incurred were assumed to have been financed through capital
contributed by ATLANTIC.
 
4. CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE:
 
  On January 24, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group (the "Borrower")
executed convertible mortgage notes payable in favor of ATLANTIC. These notes
are secured by the currently owned Homestead Village properties and will
further be secured by land to be acquired and developed. The terms of the
notes provide for interest only payments of 9% per annum with payments
beginning six months from the issue date of each note. The notes are due and
payable on or before October 31, 2006. There were no borrowings under these
notes during the period ended June 30, 1996.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIOD)
  The mortgage notes are convertible, at the option of ATLANTIC, into common
shares of the Borrower at any time beginning April 1, 1997. The conversion
price is equal to 115% of the value of the common shares at the date of the
note, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Borrower.
 
5. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
 
  ATLANTIC has a REIT management agreement with Security Capital (Atlantic)
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager"), a subsidiary of Security Capital Group
Incorporated ("SCG"), which is a majority shareholder of ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager provides both strategic and day-to-day management of ATLANTIC,
including research, investment analysis, acquisition and development, asset
management, capital markets, and legal and accounting services. All officers
of ATLANTIC are employees of the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC has no employees.
 
  The REIT management agreement requires ATLANTIC to pay an annual fee of 16%
of cash flow, as defined in the agreement. The Atlantic-Homestead Village
Group's allocable share of the REIT management fee is based on 16% of its
properties defined cash flow. No fees were payable for the periods ended
December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996 as no properties were operating during such
periods.
 
6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:
 
  At June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had unfunded
development commitments for developments under construction of approximately
$16.4 million.
 
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is subject to environmental regulations
related to the ownership, operation, development and acquisition of real
estate. As part of its due diligence procedures, the Atlantic-Homestead
Village Group has conducted Phase I environmental assessments on each property
prior to acquisition. The cost of complying with environmental regulations was
not material to the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's results of operations
for the periods presented. The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is not aware
of any environmental condition on any of its properties which is likely to
have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of
operations.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Shareholder of
The SCG-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the SCG-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995 and the related combined statements of operations, shareholder's equity
(deficit) and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1995. These combined financial statements are the responsibility
of the SCG-Homestead Village Group's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these combined financial statements 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 combined financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined
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 combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                        THE SCG-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
                    NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
 
  The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared by
combining the accounts of Homestead Village Managers Incorporated and
Homestead Realty Services Incorporated, each incorporated in June 1995 and
SCG-Homestead Village Incorporated, incorporated in February, 1996. These
entities are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Security Capital Group Incorporated
("SCG") and are hereinafter collectively referred to as the SCG-Homestead
Village Group. Prior to incorporation, the activities of these entities were
performed within other subsidiaries of SCG. Such activities have been carved
out of those subsidiaries for purposes of inclusion in the accompanying
combined financial statements.
 
  The accompanying historical financial statements of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group are presented on a combined basis as these entities are expected
to be subject to a merger transaction with certain affiliated groups of
entities in which Homestead Village Incorporated will operate and manage
properties subsequent to the merger transaction. (See "The Transaction,"
included elsewhere in the Prospectus for a description of the merger
transaction.) Management of SCG believes that the combined financial
statements result in a more meaningful presentation than presenting the
separate historical financial statements of each subsidiary.
 
  The SCG-Homestead Village Group provides fee-based strategic and day-to-day
advisory services to affiliated real estate investment trusts (REITs) which
develop, own and operate extended-stay lodging facilities ("Homestead Village
Properties") designed to appeal to value-conscious guests. The services
provided include research, investment analysis, acquisition and development,
asset management, capital markets, property management and legal and
accounting.
 
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in bank accounts and cash invested
in money market funds.
 
 Furniture and Equipment
 
  Furniture and equipment is carried at cost, which is not in excess of
estimated fair market value. Depreciation is computed utilizing a straight-
line method over the estimated economic lives of depreciable property,
generally five to seven years.
 
  The following summarizes furniture and equipment as of December 31, 1994,
1995 and June 30, 1996 (in thousands):

 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 amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent 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.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
                       (UNAUDITED AS TO INTERIM PERIODS)
 Income Taxes
 
  None of the entities within the SCG-Homestead Village Group have generated
taxable income since incorporation. The total net operating loss carryforward
of these entities is approximately $378,000 and $1,359,000 as of December 31,
1995 and June 30, 1996, respectively, and expire in varying amounts through
2016. The deferred tax asset resulting from these net operating loss
carryforwards has been fully reserved due to its uncertain realizability.
 
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
  The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates their fair value as of
December 31, 1994, 1995 and June 30, 1996 because of the short maturity of
these instruments. Similarly, the carrying value of the intercompany debt
approximates fair value as of those dates as the interest rates approximate
market rates for similar debt instruments.
 
 Unaudited Interim Statements
 
  The combined financial statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such combined financial
statements have been included. The results of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the SCG-Homestead
Village Group's future results of operations for the full year ending December
31, 1996.
 
3. INTERCOMPANY DEBT AND CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL
 
  The operating expenses incurred by the SCG-Homestead Village Group were
assumed to have been financed through capital contributed by SCG through 1994.
Commencing in 1995, such costs were financed in part through unsecured
borrowings from SCG which are due on demand. The advances include interest at
prime plus 1/4%, (8.75% and 8.5% at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996,
respectively). No interest was paid, all interest was added to the
intercompany debt balance as incurred. Interest expense was $69,843 and
$106,984 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the six months ended June
30, 1996, respectively, and is included in the "Other expense" caption in the
combined statements of operations.
 
4. REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT FEES
 
  SCG, the parent of the entities comprising the SCG-Homestead Village Group
has entered into agreements with affiliated real estate investment trusts,
Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR") and Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated ("ATLANTIC") to provide REIT management services. The services
with respect to the Homestead Village Properties are provided by the employees
of the SCG-Homestead Village Group and, therefore, the fees earned from
providing such services have been included in the accompanying combined
financial statements.
 
  The REIT management fees are generally based on 16% of cash flow, as defined
in the agreements. The fees earned by the SCG-Homestead Village Group which
were based on the cash flow (as defined) of the Homestead Village Properties
operated by PTR (no ATLANTIC properties were operational as of June 30, 1996)
were as follows:

  Additionally, in 1995 Homestead Realty Services Incorporated ("Homestead
Realty") entered into property management agreements with PTR's Homestead
Village subsidiaries to manage their operating properties. Prior to 1995 such
agreements were with SCG Realty Services Incorporated ("SCG Realty"), a
subsidiary of SCG and a predecessor of Homestead Realty. Fees for such
services are computed as a percentage (5.0%-7.0%) of gross revenues, as
defined. Property management fees earned for each period were as follows:

5. TRANSACTIONS WITH SCG
 
  SCG serves as cash manager for the entities in the SCG-Homestead Village
Group. In this capacity SCG collects all cash attributable to the SCG-
Homestead Village Group business activities and makes all cash disbursements
on behalf of the SCG-Homestead Village Group. Additionally, the SCG-Homestead
Village Group is allocated overhead expenses and certain other costs from SCG
related to occupancy and other services provided to the SCG-Homestead Village
Group by SCG. In the opinion of management, the allocation of costs and
expenses have been made on a basis which is believed to be reasonable however,
the allocation is not necessarily indicative of the costs and expenses the
SCG-Homestead Village Group may have incurred on its own account.

The Board of Directors
Homestead Village Incorporated
 
  We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Homestead Village

the company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
balance sheet based on our audit.
 
  We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing

obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Homestead Village Incorporated as
of June 30, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                            NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET
 
                                 JUNE 30, 1996
 
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF FINANCIAL PRESENTATION
 
  Homestead Village Incorporated (formerly Homestead Village Properties
Incorporated), a Maryland corporation ("Homestead"), was formed on January 26,
1996 to develop, own and manage extended-stay lodging facilities under the
Homestead Village tradename. Homestead's extended-stay lodging rooms are
designed to appeal to value-conscious guests such as business travelers,
professionals and others on a weekly basis, with most guests staying multiple
weeks. The issuance of the initial shares was funded on April 18, 1996. There
have been no operations since the date of funding through June 30, 1996.
 
  Homestead was formed to acquire, through a series of merger transactions,
all of the extended-stay lodging assets operating or to be operated under the
Homestead Village tradename. The net assets related to the Homestead Village
properties are to be acquired through the merger of various wholly-owned
subsidiaries of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("SCG"), Security Capital
Pacific Trust ("PTR") and Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated ("ATLANTIC"),
all affiliates of Homestead, in exchange for common stock of Homestead. PTR
had 28 operating Homestead Village properties, six properties under
construction and 20 in pre-development planning (as defined) as of August 1,
1996. ATLANTIC had one Homestead Village property in operation, six under
construction and 19 in pre-development planning as of August 1, 1996. SCG will
provide the trademark and development and property management expertise as
well as operating systems necessary to develop, own and operate the
properties.
 
  Homestead was initially capitalized through the issuance of 1,000 shares of
$.01 par value common stock for $1,000 to SCG. As of June 30, 1996, Homestead
has 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value authorized.
 
 Income Taxes
 
  Homestead was formed as a Subchapter C corporation and, as such, will be
subject to federal and any applicable state income taxes.
 
2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
  Homestead has entered into various agreements with affiliated companies in
order to complete the transaction discussed above and to conduct the business
of developing, owning and operating Homestead Village properties.
 
 Merger and Distribution Agreement
 
  On May 21, 1996, Homestead entered into a Merger and Distribution Agreement
with PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG (collectively, the "Affiliated Companies") which
provides for certain subsidiaries of the Affiliated Companies to be merged
with and into Homestead in exchange for common stock. The subsidiaries of the
Affiliated Companies develop, own and manage the Homestead Village properties.
 
  Pursuant to the agreement, PTR will merge with and into Homestead the net
assets related to Homestead Village properties in exchange for 9,485,727
shares of Homestead common stock. ATLANTIC will contribute net assets in
exchange for 4,201,220 shares of Homestead common stock. Homestead will issue
4,062,788 shares of Homestead common stock in exchange for certain net assets
of SCG which consist primarily of the Homestead Village trademark, and
development and management expertise, as well as operating systems utilized in
the ongoing development and operations of the extended-stay lodging
facilities. Homestead will not assume any obligations related to the employees
of the SCG subsidiaries including unpaid salaries, wages, benefits and any
expense reimbursements.

                        HOMESTEAD VILLAGE INCORPORATED
 
                      NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET--(CONTINUED)
  PTR and ATLANTIC will receive all of their shares of Homestead common stock
at the date of the transaction. SCG is to receive 1,819,750 shares of
Homestead common stock based on the ratio of actual funding provided by PTR
and ATLANTIC to the total expected funding to be provided at the date of the
transaction. The remaining 2,243,038 shares of Homestead common stock will be
issued to and held in escrow by an appointed escrow agent. The escrowed shares
will be transferred to SCG pro rata based on the completion of PTR's and
ATLANTIC's remaining funding commitments. In the event not all of the funding
commitments are provided to Homestead by PTR or ATLANTIC, the remaining shares
of Homestead common stock not transferred to SCG will be returned to Homestead
along with any dividends paid. The escrow agent will vote all shares of
Homestead common stock held in the escrow account proportionately in
accordance with the vote of all other Homestead shareholders as instructed by
Homestead. In the event that instructions are not received, the escrow agent
will not vote such shares.
 
  In conjunction with the Merger and Distribution Agreement, described above,
Homestead, SCG, PTR and ATLANTIC entered into a Warrant Purchase Agreement
dated May 21, 1996 whereby SCG, PTR and ATLANTIC are to receive warrants based
on the relative fair value of the assets each is to contribute in the
transaction. A total of 10,000,000 warrants are to be issued. The Homestead
warrants may be used to purchase Homestead common stock for $10 per share, may
be exercised at any time and will expire twelve months from the record date
for the distribution of the Homestead common stock and Homestead warrants to
the shareholders of PTR and ATLANTIC. As consideration for the Homestead
warrants issued, PTR and ATLANTIC have agreed to provide additional funding to
Homestead for the development of properties and SCG will provide financing for
the purchase of properties to be used as extended-stay facilities for the
period from the date of the Merger and Distribution Agreement through the date
of the transaction.
 
  All shares of Homestead common stock and Homestead warrants issued to PTR
and ATLANTIC in connection with the transaction will be issued directly to a
distribution agent for the benefit of the holders of PTR and ATLANTIC common
stock on the record date of the distribution. The remaining shares of
Homestead common stock and Homestead warrants will be issued directly to SCG
and the escrow agent.
 
  The costs associated with the transaction are to be paid by each party
incurring the expense, except for those costs related to filing, printing and
distributing proxy and prospectus materials will be paid 63.64%, 28.18%, and
8.18% by PTR, ATLANTIC and SCG, respectively.
 
  In conjunction with the agreement, Homestead will assume contractual
obligations including development contracts. At June 30, 1996, the PTR
subsidiary had approximately $24.3 million and at June 30, 1996 the ATLANTIC
subsidiary had approximately $16.4 million of unfunded development commitments
for developments under construction.
 
3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
 Finder's Agreements
 
  In conjunction with the Merger and Distribution Agreement, PTR will assign
its rights and obligations pursuant to a series of agreements with an
unaffiliated person ("Finder") who developed the Homestead Village concept,
and has performed certain services. The agreements which expire February 5,
2043, provide for the payment of fees to Finder as follows: (i) $535,000
annually with respect to the four properties for which Finder assisted in the
location, development and initial operations; (ii) an annual amount of $7,500

                      NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET--(CONTINUED)
the agreements) for assistance in site location with respect to the first 35
properties constructed (other than the four properties referred to in (i)
above; (iii) 20% of the net proceeds as defined per the agreements, upon the
sale of the four properties noted in (i) above to an unaffiliated third party;
and (iv) 10% of the net proceeds as defined per the agreement, upon the sale
of the additional 35 properties to an unaffiliated third party. No such sales
have occurred to date. Effective December 1994, the agreement to assist in the
site location of any additional properties beyond the 35 properties was
terminated. Additionally, Finder has agreed not to compete, directly or
indirectly, with the Homestead Village properties in certain states in which
PTR and ATLANTIC do business through December 31, 1996.
 
 Rights Agreement
 
  On May 16, 1996 the Homestead Board of Directors declared and paid a
dividend of one purchase right as defined per the Rights Agreement for each
share of Homestead common stock outstanding to the holders of Homestead common
stock of record on this date. The shares of Homestead common stock issued
after May 16, 1996 and before the expiration of the purchase rights (May 16,
2006), will also be entitled to one purchase right for each share issued. Each
purchase right entitles the holder to purchase one-hundredth of a
participating preferred share of Homestead at $50, subject to adjustment as
defined in the agreement. The Board of Directors of Homestead through its
Articles of Incorporation is authorized to issue one or more series and to
determine the number of preferred shares of each series and the rights of each
series. The purchase rights will be exercisable only after a person or group
of affiliated persons acquires 20% or more of the outstanding shares of common
stock or offers to acquire 25% or more.
