                                  COMMON STOCK
                           (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 shares of ATLANTIC's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the
"Shares"), offered hereby are being sold by ATLANTIC. Prior to this offering
(the "Offering"), there has been no public market for the Shares. It is
currently estimated that the initial public offering price will be between $
and $    per Share. See "Underwriting" for a discussion of the factors to be
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
shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Homestead Village
Incorporated ("Homestead") and warrants to purchase at least     shares of
Homestead common stock. See "Homestead Transaction".     
 
  SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 16 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 value of the Shares may be greater than the fair market
    value of ATLANTIC's portfolio.     
     
  . The ability of Security Capital Group Incorporated ("SCG"), which owns
    64.1% of the outstanding Shares (  % 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, which could result in decisions
    that do not fully represent the interests of all shareholders.     
     
  . Possible inability of ATLANTIC to pay fourth quarter 1996 and 1997
    distributions as proposed.     
  . 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 37.4% 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's 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.     
   
  Application will be made to list the Shares 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 (i)
an estimated initial public offering price of $    per Share (the midpoint of
the range of estimated initial public offering prices set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus) and (ii) no exercise of the Underwriters' over-
allotment option. Pro forma information regarding properties owned at June 30,
1996 includes all properties acquired through July 31, 1996 and the property to
be acquired at their cost or expected purchase price plus budgeted renovations,
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 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. ATLANTIC, through its REIT
manager, Security Capital (Atlantic) Incorporated (the "REIT Manager" or "REIT
Management"), is an Atlanta-based, fully integrated operating company with 76
professionals dedicated to implementing its highly focused operating strategy.
At July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of 24,123 multifamily units,
including 6,406 units under construction and in planning, in 16 metropolitan
areas and 44 submarkets in premier growth areas of the southeastern United
States. The aggregate investment cost of these 86 properties, including planned
renovations and total budgeted development expenditures, is approximately $1.27
billion.     
   
  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    shares of Homestead common stock and
warrants to purchase at least    shares of Homestead common stock. 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.

<PAGE>
 
   
  REIT Management believes that ATLANTIC's future growth will be driven by (1)
its research-based investment strategy which focuses on a primary target market
exhibiting strong demographic trends and job growth prospects; (2) an
experienced management team which provides ATLANTIC with several senior
officers with the leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and
experience to oversee the entire operations of ATLANTIC; (3) ongoing research
and development focused on identifying those submarkets and product types that
will offer continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth; (4) a
development strategy targeted to moderate income households which ATLANTIC
believes represent the largest and most underserved segment of the renter
population; (5) a high quality portfolio providing an internal source of long-
term cash flow growth; (6) the substantial resources available to ATLANTIC
through its affiliation with SCG and SCG's experience in managing two publicly
traded REITs; and (7) 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 value 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 ( % 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 as to management agreements and
    fees (which must be reviewed and approved at least annually by ATLANTIC's
    Independent Directors (as defined below)), which could result in
    decisions that do not fully represent the interests of all shareholders.
           
  . ATLANTIC's Board of Directors (the "Board") has based proposed fourth
    quarter 1996 and 1997 distributions on a number of assumptions, any
    change in which could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay such distributions
    as proposed.     
     
  . 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 37.4% 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.     
     
  . There are certain conditions to the consummation of the Homestead
    transaction and a delay in the satisfaction of any of these conditions or
    the failure of any of these conditions to be satisfied could cause the
    consummation of the Homestead transaction to be delayed or not to occur.
           
  . 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.     
 
                                       4
<PAGE>
 
     
  . 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's being externally managed by an affiliate
    of its principal shareholder may adversely affect the market price of the
    Shares.     
     
  . Ability of the Board, which will be comprised of a majority of
    Independent Directors prior to the consummation of the Offering, 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".     
                            
                         OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS     
 
  REIT Management believes that ATLANTIC's 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 37.4% 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, it expects the percentage of properties it owns 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); and Tampa, Florida. Based on forecasts published by
    Woods & Poole Economics, Inc., the projected population growth in
    ATLANTIC's primary target market is 34.4% for the years 1995 through
    2015, whereas the     
 
                                       5

   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 28.1%
   in ATLANTIC's primary target market, compared to 19.7% for the United
   States as a whole.     
     
  . 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. 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 entire operations of
    ATLANTIC. Through the REIT Manager, ATLANTIC functions as a fully
    integrated operating company.     
     
  . 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. REIT Management believes that ATLANTIC's 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 July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's existing
    properties and properties under construction consisted of eight upper
    middle income properties with a total expected investment cost of $143.7
    million, 31 middle income properties with a total expected investment
    cost of $487.5 million and 38 moderate income properties with a total
    expected investment cost of $509.6 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 the largest segment 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 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 communities benefit from a significant reduction
    in turnover expenses as compared to upper middle or middle income
    product. Because turnover costs are a significant component of a
    property's operating expenses, a measurable reduction in turnover can
    result in meaningful increases in operating income.     
      
   At July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had 21 properties under construction or in
   planning comprising 6,406 units at a total budgeted investment cost of
   $379.9 million. Of such properties, ATLANTIC expects to start construction
   on 1,261 units with an expected investment cost of approximately $72.0
   million between August 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
    increased 5.21% from the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 to the six-
    month period ended June 30, 1996 for the     
 
                                       6

   38 properties that were operating during both of such periods. At July 31,
   1996, ATLANTIC's stabilized properties were 95.5% 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 July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio
   of multifamily properties consisted of 46.5% of stabilized operating
   properties, 23.4% of pre-stabilized operating properties and 30.1% 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 seek to dispose of assets that in management's view do
    not meet ATLANTIC's long-term investment criteria. As of July 31, 1996,
    ATLANTIC disposed of or exchanged three 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 ( % 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.     
     
  . CONSERVATIVE BALANCE SHEET STRATEGY. ATLANTIC employs 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 15.5% 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 access the
    debt markets through issuing long-term, fixed rate, fully amortizing
    unsecured corporate debt in order to limit ATLANTIC's exposure to
    floating rate or balloon financing. 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.
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
 
  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 six months ended
June 30, 1996, average physical occupancy and average weekly rate for PTR's 20
stabilized Homestead Village properties were 84% and $219 per week,
respectively and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for PTR's six pre-stabilized properties were 67% and $223 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 defined 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 which will have a term of
approximately ten years, will bear interest at 9% per year, 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, 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.
 
  The Homestead common stock and warrants received by ATLANTIC will be
distributed, pro rata, to ATLANTIC shareholders (the "Distribution"). The
Distribution will be made to holders of Shares of record at the close of
business on the record date established by ATLANTIC for the Distribution (the
"Distribution Record Date"). The amount of Homestead common stock and warrants
to be received by each ATLANTIC shareholder in the 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, each ATLANTIC shareholder will receive    shares of Homestead
common stock and warrants to purchase    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, 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, each ATLANTIC shareholder will receive      shares of
Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase      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 Distribution.
Prospective investors are advised that the 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
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 will meet to approve 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 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.     
 
                             TAX STATUS OF ATLANTIC
 
  ATLANTIC has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), effective for the taxable year ended December
31, 1994. As a REIT, ATLANTIC generally will not be taxed on income it
currently distributes to its shareholders so long as it distributes at least
95% of its taxable income currently. REITs are subject to a number of
organizational and operational requirements. Even if ATLANTIC continues to
qualify for taxation as a REIT, ATLANTIC will be subject to certain federal,
state and local taxes on its income and property. See "Federal Income Tax
Considerations" and "Risk Factors--Taxation of ATLANTIC".

    planning and owned, represents expected completion date. With respect to
    properties likely to be acquired, represents expected acquisition date.
           
(2) For operating properties, represents cost, including planned renovations.
    For properties under construction and in planning, represents budgeted

    for major rehabilitations) to achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior
    to being "stabilized", a property is considered "pre-stabilized". The term
    "in planning" means developments owned or under control (meaning that

                                 DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  ATLANTIC expects to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to its
shareholders. ATLANTIC's policy is to propose distributions for the following
year during the preceding year, subject to declaration by the Board, after a
review of the operating plan for the following year. At its December 19, 1995
meeting, the Board proposed 1996 distributions of $0.84 per Share, subject to
declaration by the Board and payable in quarterly installments. On March 28,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.21 per Share for Shares
outstanding throughout the first quarter, on June 27, 1996, ATLANTIC paid a
quarterly distribution of $0.21 per Share for Shares outstanding throughout the
second quarter and on September 4, 1996, the Board declared a quarterly
distribution of $     per Share payable on September   , 1996 for Shares
outstanding throughout the third quarter. In addition, on September 4, 1996,
after taking into account the Homestead Distribution, the Board proposed a
fourth quarter 1996 distribution of $      per Share and 1997 distributions of
$       per Share, subject to declaration by the Board and payable in quarterly
installments. The proposed distributions are subject to declaration by the
Board and actual distributions may be less than the proposed distributions.
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, and therefore the actual distributions may differ. See "Risk
Factors--Risk of Inability to Sustain Distribution Level" and "Distributions".

- -------
(1) For the period from October 26, 1993 (the date of ATLANTIC's inception) to
    December 31, 1993.
(2) 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.
(3) At August 20, 1996, ATLANTIC had $197 million of debt outstanding under its
    $350 million line of credit.

                                 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
value of the Shares (based on the initial public offering price) 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 ( %
after giving effect to the Offering). See "Principal Shareholders". Through
its ownership of Shares, SCG controls approximately 64.1% ( % 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.     
 
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
   
  ATLANTIC does not have any employees and relies on the REIT Manager for all
strategic and management services. An affiliate of the REIT Manager also
provides property management services for approximately 84% 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 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     
 
                                      16
<PAGE>
 
   
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. C. Ronald Blankenship, a Director
of ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager and the Chairman of PTR and a Director of
Homestead, spends about ten hours per month on this senior investment
committee evaluating investment opportunities for ATLANTIC and other REITs
which are managed by affiliates of the REIT Manager. 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
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 SUSTAIN DISTRIBUTION LEVEL
   
  The Board based proposed fourth quarter 1996 and 1997 distributions on a
number of assumptions, including assumptions relating to the future operations
of ATLANTIC. These assumptions encompass, among other matters, continued
property occupancy, capital expenditures and other costs relating to
ATLANTIC's properties, the level of leasing activity and decisions by ATLANTIC
to reinvest rather than distribute cash available for distribution. Some of
the assumptions described above are beyond the control of ATLANTIC, and a
change in any such assumption could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay such
distributions as proposed. Hence, no assurance can be given that ATLANTIC will
be able to pay such distributions as proposed. 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
 
                                      17
<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, or has executed contracts
or non-binding letters of intent where acquisition of development land is
likely for, 7,618 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 long-term debt or sales
of 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
 
                                       18
<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 July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC owned $351.2 million of properties, based on
cost, that are located in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area, representing
37.4% 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
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 ( % after giving
effect to the Offering). The REIT Manager's indirect Share ownership provides
it with economic interests comparable to other shareholders, but ATLANTIC's
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     
 
                                      20
<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 one one-hundredth 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 (the "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". No
such Shares have been so reclassified to date.     
 
                                       21
<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
 
                                       22
<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.     
 
                                      23
<PAGE>
 
NO PRIOR MARKET FOR SHARES
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares.
Although application will be made to list the Shares 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 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 August 20, 1996, ATLANTIC had 65,903,161 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 $    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 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. ATLANTIC, through the REIT
Manager, is an Atlanta-based, fully integrated operating company with 76
professionals dedicated to implementing its highly focused operating strategy.
At July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of 24,123 multifamily units,
including 6,406 units under construction and in planning, in 16 metropolitan
areas and 44 submarkets in premier growth areas of the southeastern United
States. The aggregate investment cost of these 86 properties, including planned
renovations and total budgeted development expenditures, is approximately $1.27
billion.     
 
  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's REIT Manager 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); and Tampa, Florida.
 
                                       24
<PAGE>
 
  REIT Management 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
ATLANTIC's cash flow growth, REIT Management believes ATLANTIC 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
provides a fully integrated company with expertise in market research,
multifamily property acquisitions and due diligence, development of multifamily
properties, leasing and asset management, capital markets and financial
operations.
 
  REIT Management believes that the multifamily real estate industry has
traditionally attracted developers and operators who decentralized decision
making and developed properties based upon the availability and preferences of
external sources of capital rather than on market demand, as discussed more
fully below. The REIT Manager has organized itself differently from many
traditional multifamily real estate companies, 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 must be approved by the REIT Manager's senior
    investment committee, using uniform criteria, rather than being subject
    to autonomous decisions by local market representatives;
 
  . Capital markets and financing decisions are centrally made and executed,
    enabling ATLANTIC to lower its cost of capital, optimize its financial
    structure and focus on the needs of residents, rather than the
    preferences of capital sources or the restrictions imposed by lenders,
    and thereby increase financial control; and
 
  . ATLANTIC officers who own an interest in ATLANTIC own Shares, not carried
    interests in specific assets, meaning that their incentive is for the
    entire company to do well.
 
  See "REIT Management".
 
  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 $    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    Shares is
exercised in full, the additional net proceeds of approximately $    million
will be used for the same purpose. At August 20, 1996, ATLANTIC had $197
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 $
million at the time of the closing of the Offering. Borrowings under the line
of credit bear interest at prime (8.25% at August 20, 1996) or, at ATLANTIC's
option, LIBOR plus 1.5% (6.875% at August 20, 1996) or the certificate of
deposit rate plus 1.625% (6.965% at August 20, 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,

(1) The increase in distributions in excess of net earnings on an as adjusted

(2) Does not include borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350 million line of credit.
    At June 30, 1996, $194.0 million of borrowings were outstanding under the
    line of credit ($130.1 million on an as adjusted basis).     
 
                                 DISTRIBUTIONS
   
  ATLANTIC expects to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to its
shareholders. In 1995, ATLANTIC paid quarterly cash distributions of $0.20 per
Share outstanding throughout each quarter, equaling an annualized distribution
of $0.80 per Share. ATLANTIC's policy is to propose distributions for the
following year during the preceding year, subject to declaration by the Board,
after a review of the operating plan for the following year. At its December
19, 1995 meeting, the Board proposed 1996 distributions of $0.84 per Share,
subject to declaration by the Board and payable in quarterly installments. On
March 28, 1996, ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.21 per Share for
Shares outstanding throughout the first quarter, on June 27, 1996, ATLANTIC
paid a quarterly distribution of $0.21 per Share for Shares outstanding
throughout the second quarter and on September 4, 1996, the Board declared a
quarterly distribution of $     per Share payable on September   , 1996 for
Shares outstanding throughout the third quarter. In addition, on September 4,
1996, after taking into account the Homestead Distribution, the Board proposed
a fourth quarter 1996 distribution of $        per Share and 1997
distributions of $       per Share, subject to declaration by the Board and
payable in quarterly installments. The proposed distributions are subject to
declaration by the Board and actual distributions may be less than the
proposed distributions. 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, and therefore the actual distributions may
differ. See "Risk Factors--Risk of Inability to Sustain Distribution Level".
    
       
  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
 
                                      26
<PAGE>
 
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 improvements with a substantial expected economic life (such
as roofs, parking lots and additions) are capitalized. ATLANTIC has budgeted
$4.6 million for such purposes for the remainder of 1996. No assurances can be
given that cash available for distribution will be sufficient to pay fourth
quarter 1996 and 1997 distributions as proposed. 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 $4.6 million of budgeted capital expenditures, ATLANTIC
has $126.2 million of unfunded construction commitments and $35.4 million of
prospective acquisitions (not included in pro forma properties owned) under
letters of intent or contingent contracts. Additionally, at July 31, 1996,
ATLANTIC had $123.4 million of developments in planning (owned and under
control) of which $117.8 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 (including fourth quarter 1996 and 1997 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 $        total
cash distribution per Share expected to be paid for Shares outstanding
throughout 1996 (not including the Distribution), ATLANTIC estimates that
approximately   % of such distribution will constitute a non-taxable return of
capital for federal income tax purposes with the remaining   % being taxable
as ordinary income.

                                   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 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
Distribution for no additional consideration, assuming that they continue to
hold such Shares on the Distribution Record Date, as described under
"Homestead Transaction". Therefore, management of ATLANTIC does not 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.     
 
                                      28
<PAGE>
 
  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 six months ended
June 30, 1996, average physical occupancy and average weekly rate for PTR's 20
stabilized Homestead Village properties were 84% and $219 per week,
respectively and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average
weekly rate for PTR's six pre-stabilized properties were 67% and $223 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.
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 and Distribution Agreement, dated as
    of May 21, 1996 (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 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.     
 
                                      29
<PAGE>
 
     
  . 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 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, 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. The convertible
    mortgage notes will have a term of approximately ten years, will bear
    interest at 9% per year, 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 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.     
 
                                      30
<PAGE>
 
     
  . 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  % 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 Distribution. The
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 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, each ATLANTIC shareholder will receive
   shares of Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase    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, 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, each ATLANTIC
shareholder will receive         shares of Homestead common stock and warrants
to purchase         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 Distribution. The agent for
the 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
Distribution or to surrender or exchange Shares in order to receive Homestead
common stock and warrants, except as provided in the following paragraph. The
Distribution will not affect the number of, or the rights attaching to,
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock.     
   
  In the 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 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 Distribution
will mail a notice to each Foreign Shareholder announcing the Distribution as
well as seeking instructions from the Foreign Shareholder electing between the
following options: (i) providing a check to the agent for the 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 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 Distribution will mail an additional notice to
each Foreign Shareholder setting forth the amount of the withholding
obligation. A     
 
                                      31
<PAGE>
 
   
Foreign Shareholder must deliver to the agent for the 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 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
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 Distribution. The amount
of the 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
Distribution exceeds such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its Shares, the
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 120,000 Shares, 1,055 common shares of beneficial interest of PTR and 67
shares of common stock of SCG. Mr. Garcia owns 20,000 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, 48,839 Shares, 57,745 common shares of
beneficial interest of PTR and 6,449 shares of common stock of SCG.

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. REIT Management believes that population
and employment growth are the primary demand generators for multifamily
product. The following chart indicates the expected population and job growth
in ATLANTIC's primary target market cities versus the United States as a whole
from 1995 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 July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC owned properties in 44 of the 149 submarkets
within its target market. REIT Management is continuously researching
additional submarkets and cities and may expand ATLANTIC's primary target
market in the future; however, ATLANTIC intends to remain regionally focused
in the southeastern United States.     
   
  At July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's existing properties and properties under
construction consisted of eight upper middle income properties with a total
expected investment cost of $143.7 million, 31 middle income properties with a
total expected investment cost of $487.5 million and 38 moderate income
properties with a total expected investment cost of $509.6 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     
 
                                      33
<PAGE>
 
   
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.     
 
  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. ATLANTIC's initial acquisitions were comprised principally of
upper middle and middle income properties as a result of the difficulty in
acquiring moderate income properties due to existing moderate income inventory
in the southeastern United States consisting 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 incudes a larger percentage
of upper middle and middle income properties than moderate income properties.
   
  In the future, ATLANTIC will focus primarily on the moderate income
category, which comprises the largest segment of the renter population. This
product comprised 36% of ATLANTIC's 1995 development starts and by 1997 is
expected to make up approximately 65% of total starts, based on expected
investment cost. The balance of development starts are expected to consist of
middle income properties.     
 
  Few other real estate companies currently focus on the moderate income
segment within ATLANTIC's primary target market. Moreover, the REIT Manager
believes that less than 10% of the 1995 multifamily starts in ATLANTIC's
primary target market cities comprised moderate income product, the category
which ATLANTIC has targeted for future investment. Consequently, REIT
Management 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, REIT Management believes that this product
category offers greater sustainable cash flow growth.
 
  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
   
  ATLANTIC, through the REIT Manager, is a fully integrated operating company
with 76 professionals dedicated to implementing its 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     
 
                                      34
<PAGE>
 
   
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, a four-member senior 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
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.
 
 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 July
31, 1996, ATLANTIC's portfolio of properties acquired, net of dispositions,
aggregated 16,305 operating units representing a total cost, including planned
renovations, of $820.4 million. At July 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 838 units with an aggregate investment cost of $35.4 million,
including planned 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 July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's completed
developments and properties under development aggregated 34.9% of its
multifamily portfolio, based on expected investment cost. As of July 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) These properties are classified as pre-stabilized operating properties at
    July 31, 1996.     
   
(3) The term "in planning" means developments owned or under control (meaning
    that ATLANTIC has a contingent contract or letter of intent to purchase
    the land, but does not own the land) with construction anticipated to
    commence within 12 months.     
 
                                      35

  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
 
  The REIT Manager believes that a REIT should have experienced personnel
dedicated to performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT
Manager has three full-time due diligence professionals. The REIT Manager's
professionals utilize due diligence information systems and procedures in
screening potential acquisitions and developments.
 
 PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
   
  The REIT Manager 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 84% 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. 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. The REIT Manager 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
 
  REIT Management believes that a successful REIT must have the ability to
access the equity and debt markets efficiently, expeditiously and cost
effectively. ATLANTIC's capital markets ability 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
 
                                      36
<PAGE>
 
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 $10 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 $11.00 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 $11.50 per Share (including approximately $28.9
    million of Shares sold to SCG at a price of $11.568 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. REIT Management believes ATLANTIC's 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 ($107.2
million at June 30, 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, $92.7 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 three 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); and (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). 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.     
 
KEY COMPONENTS DRIVING ATLANTIC'S GROWTH
 
  In addition to ATLANTIC's strong primary target market, REIT Management
believes that the following key factors will drive ATLANTIC's future growth:
continued research and development,
 
                                      37
<PAGE>
 
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. REIT Management believes that ATLANTIC's 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 the largest portion 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, REIT
Management anticipates that approximately 39% of ATLANTIC's 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 proprietary 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
 
  "Same store" comparisons of a portfolio's net operating income are generally
utilized as a measurement tool in evaluating growth. However, considering
ATLANTIC's short operating history and the significant acquisitions made since
its inception in October 1993, "same store" comparisons are not as meaningful
in measuring ATLANTIC's portfolio performance as they would be in measuring a
stabilized portfolio. For example, ATLANTIC had only three properties
aggregating 683 units in operation for both 1994 and 1995. In particular,
comparisons of rental expenses between these periods is not meaningful because
properties that have been operating in both periods being compared may have
been classified as both pre-stabilized and stabilized in the periods being
compared. Due to the more conservative accounting treatment for stabilized
properties, costs that may have been capitalized during the pre-stabilized
period would be expensed in the stabilized period.
 
                                      38
<PAGE>
 
   
  ATLANTIC has 38 properties that were fully operational throughout both the
six-month period ended June 30, 1995 and the six-month period ended June 30,
1996. Net operating income on a "same store" basis for these properties
increased by 5.21% from the six-month period ended June 30, 1995 to the six-
month period ended June 30, 1996. The underlying conditions of ATLANTIC's
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. In addition, REIT Management
believes that 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. REIT Management 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 REIT Management believes that such exchanges will
contribute to growth in the future.
 
 CONSERVATIVE BALANCE SHEET STRATEGY
   
  ATLANTIC employs 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 15.5% 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 access the debt markets through issuing
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 August 20, 1996, $197 million of borrowings were
outstanding under the line of credit (and approximately $    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.     
 
                                       39
<PAGE>
 
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, 23.4% of ATLANTIC's multifamily portfolio
($296.7 million) was classified by ATLANTIC as pre-stabilized as of July 31,
1996, based on expected investment cost. By September 30, 1996, an additional
$105.6 million of these pre-stabilized properties are expected to be
classified as stabilized. At July 31, 1996, ATLANTIC's operating multifamily
properties (excluding properties in lease-up) were 95.5% leased. For operating
properties which ATLANTIC has acquired, stabilized operations generally have
been achieved six to 12 months after acquisition. For properties which
ATLANTIC is developing, REIT Management 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 development 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, senior investment committee, 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
August 20, 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".
 
  REIT Management believes that the quality of management should be assessed
in light of the following factors:
 
 MANAGEMENT DEPTH/SUCCESSION
   
  REIT Management 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. The REIT Manager
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
   
  REIT Management 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.     
 
 RESEARCH CAPABILITY
   
  REIT Management 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.     
 
                                      41
<PAGE>
 
 INVESTMENT COMMITTEE PROCESS
   
  REIT Management 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
   
  REIT Management 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 $820.4 million
of successful acquisitions (net of dispositions) for ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager is developing 6,406 multifamily units for ATLANTIC as of July 31,
1996, with a total budgeted cost of $379.9 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
   
  REIT Management 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
   
  REIT Management 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
   
  REIT Management 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.     
 
 COMMUNICATIONS/SHAREHOLDER RELATIONS CAPABILITY
   
  REIT Management 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.     
 
                                      42
<PAGE>
 
   
  REIT Management 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 Incorporated, interest income from the
convertible Homestead 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.

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

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". Messrs. Blankenship and Potts and Ms. Moore
are deemed to be the nominees of SCG.     
 
COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
   
  The Board will establish an Audit Committee consisting solely of Independent
Directors prior to the consummation of the Offering. The Audit Committee will
be 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

<PAGE>
 
   
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.
Potts, Holmes and Blankenship. 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 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 (as defined below), 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 2,000 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. Messrs. Blankenship and Potts
and Ms. Moore 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.
 
                                      50
<PAGE>
 
  The number of Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options granted
under the Outside Directors Plan is 200,000. 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 meeting) will be granted an Option to
purchase 2,000 Shares at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of
the Shares on such date. Also, on the effective date of the Offering, each
Outside Director serving on such date will be granted an option to purchase
2,000 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.     
 
INDEMNIFICATION
   
  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     
 
                                      51

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. In addition,
Maryland law requires ATLANTIC, as a condition to advancing expenses, to
obtain (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.

    planning and owned, represents expected completion date. With respect to
    properties likely to be acquired, represents expected acquisition date.
        
(2) For operating properties, represents cost, including planned renovations.
    For properties under construction and in planning, represents budgeted
    development cost, which includes the cost 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". The term
    "in planning" means developments owned or under control (meaning that
    ATLANTIC has a contingent contract or letter of intent to purchase the
    land, but does not own the land) with construction anticipated to commence
    within 12 months.     
   
(4) Property is pledged as collateral for ATLANTIC's $350 million line of

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 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
 
                                      58
<PAGE>
 
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".

(2) 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
27,392 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 and
in planning aggregating 10,283 units. At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC's investment
in real estate aggregated $1.03 billion. 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.
 
  The REIT Manager 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. The REIT Manager believes ATLANTIC's 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
($0.28 per Share) as compared to $9.1 million ($0.23 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.     
   
  Rental revenues were negatively impacted by the severe winter in the mid-
Atlantic region, resulting in reduced leasing activity. For ATLANTIC's 38
properties at June 30, 1996 that were fully operational throughout both the
first six months of 1995 and the first six months of 1996, rental revenues
grew 2.95%. All of these properties were pre-stabilized in 1995 and stabilized
in 1996. Due to the more conservative accounting treatment for stabilized
properties, expense comparisons between periods are not meaningful. These
properties represent 62.2% of ATLANTIC's operating properties at June 30,
1996, based on cost.     
 
  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 ($0.45 per Share), an increase of
$9.7 million from net earnings in 1994 of $9.9 million ($0.41 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.
   
  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.     
 
                                      62
<PAGE>
 
   
  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
($0.41 per Share) in 1994 as compared to $38,000 ($0.07 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.     
 
  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.
 
                                      63
<PAGE>
 
  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
 
  The REIT Manager considers ATLANTIC's 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 15.5% 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.     
 
  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.
 
                                      64
<PAGE>
 
  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 15,060 units in its portfolio,
3,070 of which were in development (1,212 units in construction and 1,858
units in planning). The nine projects under development had an estimated
completion cost of $190.7 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 5,051 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 4,558 units in planning with an estimated cost upon
completion of $401.3 million. Three properties under construction began
leasing completed units in the fourth quarter of 1995. At December 31, 1995,
Homestead Village properties, ATLANTIC's moderate priced, purpose-built,
extended-stay lodging properties, comprised 2,515 units of the development
portfolio with 137 units under construction and the remaining units in
planning.
 
  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 2,966 units and progress payments on properties
under development. These additional units brought ATLANTIC's total portfolio
to 27,392 units at June 30, 1996 (17,109 operating units and 10,283 units of
developments under construction and in planning). The additional investment
during the first six months of 1996 was financed primarily 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     
 
                                      65
<PAGE>
 
   
had developments in planning at June 30, 1996 aggregating 4,928 units in
various target market cities (2,832 units of Homestead Village properties)
with an aggregate budgeted development cost of $248.4 million, including
$125.0 million 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 $255,000 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 10,377,526 Shares at $11.50
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 21,724,556 Shares
(19,224,556 Shares sold at $11.50 per Share and 2,500,000 Shares sold at
$11.568 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 mortgages 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. Each mortgage loan issued by Homestead pursuant to
the Funding Commitment Agreement bears interest at 9% per annum and will be
convertible into Homestead common stock on the basis of one share of Homestead
common stock for every $11.50 of principal outstanding on the mortgage loan.
   
  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 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".     
 
                                      66

 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 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 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 August 20, 1996, $197 million of borrowings were outstanding (and $
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 $477.5 million were pledged as collateral, 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.     
 
 MORTGAGE DEBT
   
  At June 30, 1996, ATLANTIC had approximately $129 million of mortgages
payable consisting of approximately $22 million of fixed rate conventional
mortgage debt and approximately $107 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.     
   
  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 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 three swap agreements: (i) an agreement expiring in June 2002
on approximately $23 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 $65 million of bonds that fixes the
interest rate at 5.42% (excluding the cost of the credit enhancement
agreement); and (iii) an agreement expiring in March 2006 on $5 million of
bonds that fixes the interest rate at 4.82%, (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     
 
                                      67
<PAGE>
 
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 REIT Management 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
($0.80 per Share) and $14.6 million ($0.60 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.
   
  ATLANTIC announces the following year's proposed distributions after the
Board's annual budget review and approval during the preceding year. At its
December 19, 1995 meeting, the Board proposed 1996 distributions of $0.84 per
Share. The payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board
and is dependent upon the financial condition and operating results of
ATLANTIC. On March 28, 1996, ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.21
per Share for Shares outstanding throughout the first quarter, and on June 27,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.21 per Share for Shares
outstanding throughout the second quarter. The distributions paid aggregated
$11.7 million and $12.8 million for the first and second quarters,
respectively. On September 4, 1996, the Board declared a quarterly
distribution of $     per Share payable on September  , 1996 for Shares
outstanding through the third quarter.     
   
  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".     
   
  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 Incorporated, interest income from the Homestead
convertible 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 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.

<PAGE>
 
                  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,
REIT Management believes that development will contribute as much, or more, to
ATLANTIC's 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.
 
  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
 
                                      70
<PAGE>
 
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, as described below. 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
immediately following the effective date of the registration statement
relating to the Offering. "Independent Director" means a Director who (i) is
not affiliated, directly or indirectly, with SCG or any of its affiliates,
whether by ownership of, ownership interest in, employment by, any material
business or professional relationship with, or service as an officer of, SCG
or a business entity which is an affiliate of SCG and (ii) is not serving as a
trustee or director for more than three real estate investment trusts
organized by a sponsor of ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC's Independent Directors are
required to monitor the performance of the REIT Manager.     
 
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.
 
  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.
 
                                      71
<PAGE>
 
  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
will be 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
(   %, 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.

<PAGE>
 
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 5,000,000
Shares and on March 31, 1995 purchased such Shares from Laing at $11.00 per
Share. In exchange for ATLANTIC's assumption of the first put obligation, SCG
purchased $94.8 million of Shares at $11.00 per Share from ATLANTIC in a
private offering. In November 1995, ATLANTIC assumed SCG's second put
obligation for 2,500,000 Shares at $11.568 per Share. In exchange for
ATLANTIC's assumption of the second put obligation, SCG purchased 2,500,000
Shares at a price of $11.568 per Share and purchased an additional $21.1
million of Shares at $11.50 per Share in a private offering. SCG's purchase
under the third put obligation of 2,500,000 Shares (representing all Shares
owned by Laing) at $12.265 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 terminates September 30, 1996, 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
 
                                      73
<PAGE>
 
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 funding commitment agreements to be dated as of the Merger
Closing Date (the "Funding Commitment Agreements"), each of 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 Homestead determined the
exercise price of the Homestead 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, was 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. 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     
 
                                      74
<PAGE>
 
   
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% 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 $11.00 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 $11.50 per Share (which was the price
per Share paid by other investors in the offering) and $28.9 million of which
were purchased at $11.568 per Share. See "--Shareholders' Agreement". Except
as described above, all subscriptions were made on the same terms and at the
same times as made available to other investors.

(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 August 20, 1996,
    there were $25 million of borrowings outstanding under the line of credit.
    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 August 20, 1996. SCG was in compliance with
    all covenants under the line of credit at June 30, 1996.     
(2) Mr. Sanders may be deemed to beneficially own these Shares, which are
    owned by SCG, because Mr. Sanders shares voting and dispositive power with
    respect to all Shares owned by SCG. SCG and Mr. Sanders intend to play a
    major role in the direction of ATLANTIC for the purpose of maximizing the
    value of ATLANTIC.
(3) 3,913,043 of these Shares are owned by the General Motors Hourly-Rate
    Employees Pension Trust and 434,783 of these Shares are owned by the
    General Motors Salaried Employees Pension Trust.
(4) Mr. Holmes directly owns 5,000 of these Shares. Mr. Holmes may be deemed
    to beneficially own 115,000 of these Shares which are owned by Mr. Holmes'

                           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 $0.21 per Share for the first two quarters of 1996, $0.20 per Share for
1995 quarters and $0.15 per Share for 1994 quarters. ATLANTIC paid no
distributions in 1993. 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 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).     
 
                                      77
<PAGE>
 
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 one one-hundredth
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
 
                                      78
<PAGE>
 
   
distribution payment of $1 per share but will be entitled to an aggregate
distribution of 100 times the distribution declared per Share. Each
Participating Preferred Share will have 100 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 100 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 100 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
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 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
 
                                      79
<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     
 
                                      80
<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.

DIRECTOR LIABILITY
   
  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 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. In addition, Maryland law requires ATLANTIC,
as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (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.     
              
           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.
 
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
 
                                      82
<PAGE>
 
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.
 
                                      83
<PAGE>
 
  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 August 20, 1996, ATLANTIC had 65,903,161 Shares issued and outstanding
which were held of record by 326 shareholders. Upon completion of the
Offering, ATLANTIC will have     Shares issued and outstanding or reserved for
issuance upon exercise of outstanding options. All of the     Shares to be
issued or sold by ATLANTIC in the Offering, other than any 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 42,257,407 Shares, 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
 
                                      84
<PAGE>
 
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.
 
  ATLANTIC has reserved an additional 200,000 Shares for future issuance upon
exercise of Options under the Outside Directors Plan. See "REIT Management--
Outside Directors Plan".
 
  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.
 
  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.
 
                                      85
<PAGE>
 
  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.
 
  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     
 
                                      86
<PAGE>
 
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
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
 
                                      87
<PAGE>
 
  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 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
 
                                      88
<PAGE>
 
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
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.
 
                                      89
<PAGE>
 
  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.
 
 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.     
 
                                      90
<PAGE>
 
  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     
 
                                      91
<PAGE>
 
   
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 Distribution.     
   
  THE 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 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 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
computing its taxable income for the year in which the Distribution occurs,
ATLANTIC will be allowed a dividends paid deduction with respect to the
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 Distribution, or (iii) in part
as a result of the receipt of boot in the Mergers and in part upon the
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     
 
                                      92
<PAGE>
 
   
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 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
 
                                      93
<PAGE>
 
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 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 DISTRIBUTION. The amount received by ATLANTIC shareholders in the
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 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 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 basis in its Shares. To the extent that the
Distribution exceeds such shareholder's adjusted tax basis in its Shares, the
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
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 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 Distribution as capital gain dividends.
However, ATLANTIC does not anticipate that it will derive significant net
capital gain from the Distribution.
   
  The following sets forth an estimate of the portion of the 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 74,602,446
(since ATLANTIC has not established a price for shares to be issued in the
Offering, the price at which prior shares have been issued was used for
purposes of computing the number of shares to be issued in the Offering), (ii)
ATLANTIC will make total cash distributions to shareholders for calendar year
1996 in an amount     
 
                                      94
<PAGE>
 
   
equal to $54,740,000, (iii) ATLANTIC's total earnings and profits other than
from the Homestead transaction for calendar year 1996 is $34,900,000, (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 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, 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 Distribution not attributable to capital gains unless the
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 Distribution to the
extent it constitutes USRPI Capital Gains, without regard to the portion of
the Distribution which ATLANTIC designates as a capital gain dividend. The
portion of the 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 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 Distribution is made whether or not the
Distribution will be in excess of ATLANTIC's current and accumulated earnings
and profits, the 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 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
    
                                      95
<PAGE>
 
   
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 Distribution, see "Foreign Shareholders."     
   
  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 Distribution may be subject to backup withholding
with respect to such Homestead common stock and warrants and cash received in
the 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 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 Distribution will be the fair market value of the
Homestead common stock on the Distribution Date to be determined as discussed
above. A shareholder's holding period for the Homestead common stock received
in the 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 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
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     
 
                                      96
<PAGE>
 
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
 
                                      97
<PAGE>
 
   
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
various jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact business
or reside. The state and local tax treatment of ATLANTIC and its shareholders
may not conform to the federal income tax consequences discussed above.
Consequently, prospective shareholders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the effect of state and local tax laws on an investment in the
Shares of ATLANTIC.
   
  EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ADVISED TO CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER OWN TAX
ADVISOR REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO HIM OR HER OF THE PURCHASE,
OWNERSHIP AND SALE OF SHARES IN AN ENTITY ELECTING TO BE TAXED AS A REAL
ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST, INCLUDING THE FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN AND
OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, SALE AND ELECTION AND OF
POTENTIAL CHANGES IN APPLICABLE TAX LAWS.     
 
                                 UNDERWRITING
 
  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, ATLANTIC
has agreed to sell to each of the Underwriters named below, and each of the
Underwriters, for whom Goldman, Sachs & Co. are acting as representatives, has
severally agreed to purchase from ATLANTIC, the respective number of Shares
set forth opposite its name below:

</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 $    per Share. The Underwriters may allow, and such dealers may
reallow, a concession not in excess of $    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.
 
                                      98
<PAGE>
 
   
  ATLANTIC has granted the Underwriters an option exercisable for 30 days
after the date of this Prospectus to purchase up to an aggregate of
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    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.
 
  Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The
initial public offering price will be negotiated among ATLANTIC and the
representatives. Among the factors to be considered in determining the initial
public offering price of the Shares, in addition to prevailing market
conditions, will be 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, ATLANTIC and certain of its Directors and officers have agreed that,
during the period beginning from the date of this Prospectus and continuing to
and including the date 90 days after the date of this Prospectus, 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 or exchangeable into securities
which are substantially similar to the Shares without the prior written
consent of Goldman, Sachs & Co., except for the Shares offered in connection
with the Offering.
   
  Application will be made to list the Shares 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 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. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--
Liquidity and Capital Resources--Line of Credit". In addition, in connection
with the Mergers, Goldman, Sachs & Co. provided a fairness opinion to PTR.
    
                                    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.
 
                                      99
<PAGE>
 
   
  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 of 1933 (the "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,
but we have not performed any auditing procedures since that date.

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.

(1) Unit information is based upon management's estimates.     
   
(2) ATLANTIC's investment as of June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 for
    developments under control was $2.0 million and $2.0 million,
    respectively, and is reflected in the "Other assets" caption of ATLANTIC's
    balance sheets.     
   
  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.     
   
  The change in investments in real estate, at cost, for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1996 consisted of the following (in thousands):

 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.

           NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)     
          
  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.

agreement with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). Under the
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. To the extent the deposits in the principal

  For the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, the annual weighted average
interest rate received by ATLANTIC under the swap agreements was 3.42%. For

NOTE 4--SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY     
   
 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
10,377,526 shares at $11.50 per share. The private offering, which commenced
in November 1995, raised a total of $250 million through the sale of
21,724,556 shares (19,224,556 shares sold at $11.50 per share and 2,500,000
shares sold at $11.568 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     
   
  On December 19, 1995, the Board of Directors of ATLANTIC proposed 1996
distributions of $.84 per share. ATLANTIC made quarterly distributions of
$0.21 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 one-hundredth 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 one-hundredth 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

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. 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 year, will not be
callable for five years and will be convertible at the option of the holder
into shares of Homestead common stock after

           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
loans of approximately $13 million will be recorded as a mortgage loan premium
when the loans 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 mergers
are subject to approval by the shareholders of ATLANTIC and PTR. If requisite
shareholder approvals are obtained, then ATLANTIC expects the mergers to be
consummated by the end of 1996.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                               DECEMBER 31, 1995
 
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:
 
<TABLE>
      <S>                                                            <C>
      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.
 
 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

  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,
1,000,000 shares were offered at a price of $10.00 per share. All shares were
subscribed for by 125 persons and were purchased as of August 31, 1994.
 
  ATLANTIC exchanged 10,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10 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 10,000,000 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
14,545,455 shares at $11.00 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 5,000,000 shares on March 31, 1995
at $11.00 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 11,391,030 shares; 8,891,030
shares at $11.50 per share and 2,500,000 shares at $11.568 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; 2,500,000 shares at
$11.568 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
2,500,000 shares at $12.265 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 one hundred (100) 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

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.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
                       SUMMARY OF PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
 
                                  (UNAUDITED)
   
  The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and
the 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 $100 million of ATLANTIC Common Stock in this Offering
(          shares at $       per share), net of estimated costs of issuance of
$7.5 million; (v) the spin-off of the Homestead Village properties as if the
Merger 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.

                    NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      
                   JUNE 30, 1996 AND DECEMBER 31, 1995     
                                  (UNAUDITED)
   
  (a) Represents the likely acquisition of the Country Oaks Apartments in
Memphis, Tennessee that is expected to occur in August 1996. The contracted
purchase price is $8,250,000.     
          
  (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.     
          
  (c) Reflects the proposed issuance of           common shares ($.01 par
value) at a price of $       per share. The total proceeds of $100 million,
net of estimated costs of issuance of $7.5 million, results in $92.5 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 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:     
     
  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

             NOTES TO PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
     
  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 mortgages of
approximately $98,000,000, as this funding is related to future development
costs of the properties contributed to Homestead. The convertible mortgages
will be recorded at a premium of approximately $13,000,000 which will be
amortized as an adjustment to interest income over the ten-year term of the
mortgages.

  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
expenses, and 3) mortgage interest on mortgage debt, if applicable, for all
properties disposed of subsequent to December 31, 1994 to the earlier of the
respective dates of disposition, December 31, 1995 or June 30, 1996, as
applicable. The historical gross income and rental expenses relating to the
period prior to ATLANTIC's acquisition exclude amounts which would not be
comparable to the proposed future operations of the properties such as certain
interest income and income taxes.     
 
  The following tables summarize the historical income and expense amounts

(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.

  (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 those costs that are incurred to prepare an
apartment unit for tenancy by a resident after a prior resident has moved out
and typically includes such costs as cleaning, interior painting and carpet
repair and replacement.     
   
  (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 or to be 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 on the line of credit. 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).

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined Historical Summary of Gross Income
and Direct Operating Expenses (the Historical Summary) of the Group A
Properties described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1994. This
combined Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Group A Properties
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this combined
Historical Summary 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 Historical Summary is
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined Historical
Summary. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the combined Historical Summary. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
  The accompanying combined Historical Summary has been prepared for the
purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for inclusion in the registration statement on Form S-11
of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated as described in the accompanying
Note 1 of the combined Group A Properties and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the income and expenses of the combined Group A Properties.
 
  In our opinion, the combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material
respects, the combined gross income and direct operating expenses as described
in Note 1 of the combined Group A Properties for the year ended December 31,
1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                 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.

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.

  The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.
 
Use of Estimates
 
  The preparation of the combined Historical Summary in conformity with

and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined Historical
Summary and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
 
3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
  Management fees of $228,903 were paid to affiliates of the prior owners
under property management contracts.
 
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.

  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.

                                    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.     
 
                         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.
   
  Homestead currently operates 29 facilities, has begun construction of 12
additional facilities and has an additional 39 properties in pre-development
planning. 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
six months ended June 30, 1996, average physical occupancy and average weekly
rate for 20 stabilized properties were 84% and $219 per week, respectively,
and, for the same period, average physical occupancy and average weekly rate
for seven pre-stabilized properties were 67% and $223 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.
 
                                      A-2

  . 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 $51 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 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     
 
                                      A-3
<PAGE>
 
   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 year, 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.
     
  . 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.     
 
                                      A-4
<PAGE>
 
     
  . After giving effect to 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 50.6% of the outstanding
    Homestead Common Stock.     
 
                                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
Transaction.

<PAGE>
 
                                 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 August 1, 1996, SCG beneficially owned approximately 37.8% of the
issued and outstanding PTR Common Shares and 64.1% of the issued and
outstanding shares of ATLANTIC Common Stock. 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 distribution by PTR and
ATLANTIC to their respective shareholders, SCG expects to beneficially own an
additional 3,588,965 and 2,693,842 shares of Homestead Common Stock,
respectively, for a total of 8,102,557 shares of Homestead Common Stock or
approximately 45.6% of the outstanding shares of Homestead Common Stock.
Through its beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock, it is expected
that SCG will control 45.6% 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
5,032,707 shares of Homestead Common Stock, which, if fully exercised, would
increase SCG's beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock to 57.7%. 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 12 facilities under construction at August 1, 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

    Common Stock which may be issuable upon the conversion of any convertible

(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

    as a measure of operating performance and is not necessarily indicative of
    cash available to fund cash needs. Homestead has included EBITDA herein

    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 1, 1996, the PTR-Homestead Village Group had unfunded development
commitments for developments under construction of approximately $24.3
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 over the period, 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 July 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%.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                      OF ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
OVERVIEW
   
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group's historical combined financial
statements reflect the acquisition and development of Homestead Village
properties. As of June 30, 1996 there were no operating properties. As of June
30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had one property under
construction and 25 in pre-development planning.     
 
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
   
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group is not aware of, nor does it expect,
any environmental condition on its properties to have a material adverse
affect upon its business, financial position or results of operations.     
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
   
  From inception through June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group
invested $18.6 million for the acquisition and development of Homestead
Village properties. These investments have been financed through intercompany
debt.     
   
  At June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group planned to invest an
additional $140.1 million for the acquisition, development and construction of
26 Homestead Village properties over approximately the next eighteen months.
       
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group expects to finance construction,
development and acquisitions primarily from 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 June 30, 1996, the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group had unfunded
development commitments for developments under construction of approximately
$16.4 million.     
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
  PERIOD FROM APRIL 3, 1995 (DATE OF FORMATION) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND
  THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996     
   
  The Atlantic-Homestead Village Group consists of several entities that are
subsidiaries of ATLANTIC. During 1995 and the six months ended June 30, 1996,
the Atlantic-Homestead Village Group has been developing ATLANTIC's Homestead
Village properties. As described in the combined financial statements of the
Atlantic-Homestead Village Group, property acquisitions and development costs
are assumed to have been funded via intercompany debt borrowed from ATLANTIC.

ended June 30, 1996 has been capitalized and included in "Properties under
development". Operating expenses during 1995 and the six months ended June 30,
1996 pertain to pursuit costs relating to abandoned projects and various
administrative expenses.

                    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 (eight) as well as the effect of one Homestead
Village property experiencing its first full year of operations during 1994.
 
                                      A-22
<PAGE>
 
  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 nine
Homestead Village properties which opened during the six months ended June 30,
1996 as well as seven 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.
   
  Homestead currently owns and operates 29 facilities in eight cities, has
begun construction on 12 additional facilities and has an additional 39
properties in pre-development planning. 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.     
 
 
                                     A-23
<PAGE>
 
   
  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 twenty-nine
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
   
  Homestead has developed, owns and operates 29 Homestead Village properties
representing in the aggregate 4,025 units in eight cities. Homestead currently
has 12 Homestead Village properties under construction totaling 1,589 units
within four of these cities as well as five additional cities. In addition,
Homestead owns or controls through contracts 39 development sites for which it
plans to initiate construction within the next 12 months. Units operating,
under construction or in pre-development planning aggregate 10,908 units in 23
cities. Homestead has 46 additional sites under review and is continually
searching for additional appropriate sites.     
   
  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 six months ended June 30, 1996, the 20 stabilized Homestead Village
properties had an average physical occupancy of 84% with an average weekly
rate of $219 per unit. Average physical occupancy and average weekly rate for
seven pre-stabilized properties were 67% and $223 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. Homestead currently owns and operates 29 properties,
has begun construction of 12 additional properties and has an additional 39
properties in pre-development planning. 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

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

  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; 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, 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. Each participant would
receive nonqualified stock options. 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 85,000 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     
   
  It is expected that Homestead will adopt, subject to approval of the
Homestead shareholders, an Outside Directors Plan 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. It is
expected that options will be granted under the Outside Directors Plan as of
the Distribution Record Date and as of the date of each annual meeting of
shareholders of Homestead commencing in 1997. 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 Mergers, SCG is expected to beneficially
own 8,102,557 shares of Homestead Common Stock or approximately 45.6% 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 45.6% 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 5,032,707 shares of
Homestead Common Stock, which, if fully exercised, would increase SCG's
beneficial ownership of Homestead Common Stock to 57.7%. 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.

                      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.
 
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-52
<PAGE>
 
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-53
<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 8,102,557 shares of
Homestead Common Stock after 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.

  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:

</TABLE>    
   
(h) Reflects the assumed number of weighted average common shares of Homestead
    Common Stock outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 1996 based
    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.

(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 year
    ended December 31, 1995 including additional salaries and benefits, ($175)
    and legal, accounting and other professional fees ($150).
   
(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 $1,023 for the year ended December
    31, 1995. Upon release of the escrowed shares to SCG additional trademark
    and other intangibles of $28,167 would be recorded and annual amortization
    would increase by $1,408. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 as
    adjusted for the increase in amortization, would be $(5,216) or $(.16) 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. However, no pro
  forma income tax adjustment is required for the year ended December 31, 1995.
      
          
(h) Reflects the assumed number of weighted average shares of Homestead Common
    Stock outstanding during twelve months ended December 31, 1995 based 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 of the Homestead Common
  Stock. Similarly, the 10,000 Homestead Warrants, which are exercisable at $10
  per share were considered common stock equivalents since the strike 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.     
   
(j) Reflects the amortization of deferred costs related to the consideration
    provided by SCG as described in note (j) to the Homestead Pro forma
    Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
 
To the Owners of
The PTR-Homestead Village Group:
 
  We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the PTR-
Homestead Village Group (as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 1994 and
1995 and the related combined statements of operations, owners' equity and
cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31,
1995. In connection with our audits, 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 PTR-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 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
Transaction" included elsewhere in 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:
 
<TABLE>
           <S>                                    <C>
           Buildings and improvements............ 20-40 years
           Furniture, fixtures and equipment and
            other................................ 2-7 years
</TABLE>
 
 Interest
   
  The PTR-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. Total interest capitalized amounted to $426,529,
$1,038,815 and $2,142,628 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively, and $881,138 and $1,234,166 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively. Interest paid amounted to approximately $681,500,
$2,447,800 and $5,100,600 for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995,
respectively, and $2,172,015 and $657,139 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively.

                        THE PTR-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
 
 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.

  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 $177 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:

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.

                      THE ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
              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.

                     THE ATLANTIC-HOMESTEAD VILLAGE GROUP
 
              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

 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.

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 per
property (subject to certain conditions as defined in
 
                                      F-43

                      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.

ITEM 31. SALES TO SPECIAL PARTIES.
 
  See Item 32.
 
ITEM 32. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
  From October 26, 1993 (the date of the Registrant's inception) through June
28, 1994, Security Capital Group Incorporated purchased an aggregate of
26,133,150 shares of the Registrant's common stock at a price of $10.00 per
share. Such purchases were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2)
of the Securities Act. On May 12, 1994, Laing Properties, Inc. received
10,000,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock in partial consideration
for ATLANTIC's acquisition of a portfolio of properties. Of the 10,000,000
shares issued to Laing Properties, Inc., 7,500,000 shares have been
repurchased by the Registrant under a put obligation. In August 1994, the
Registrant sold 1,000,000 shares of common stock in a private offering at a
price of $10.00 per share (including 663,425 shares which were sold to
Security Capital Group Incorporated). From March 1995 through June 1995, the
Registrant sold 14,545,455 shares of common stock in a private offering at a
price of $11.00 per share (including 8,621,409 shares which were sold to
Security Capital Group Incorporated). From November 1995 through May 1996, the
Registrant sold 21,724,556 shares of common stock in a private offering at a
price of $11.50 per share (including 1,839,423 shares which were sold to
Security Capital Group Incorporated at a price of $11.50 per share and
2,500,000 shares which were sold to Security Capital Group Incorporated at a
price of $11.568 per share). All such transactions were effected pursuant to
the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act and Rule 506 thereunder.
 
ITEM 33. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
   
  The Registrant's officers and Directors are and will be indemnified under
the Registrant's charter against certain liabilities. The Registrant's charter
provides that the Registrant 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 the Registrant or (b) any
individual who, while a Director or officer of the Registrant and at the
request of the Registrant, serves or has served another corporation,     
 
                                     II-1
<PAGE>
 
   
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. The
Registrant has the power, with the approval of the Registrant's Board of
Directors, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a
person who served a predecessor of the Registrant in any of the capacities
described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Registrant
or its predecessors.     
   
  Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which the Registrant'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 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. In addition, Maryland law requires the
Registrant, as a condition to advancing expenses, to obtain (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 the
Registrant as authorized by the Registrant's Bylaws and (b) a written
statement by or on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by
the Registrant if it shall ultimately be determined that the standard of
conduct was not met.     
       
  The Registrant 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or (c)
relating to judicially determined criminal violations.
 
  The form of Underwriting Agreement filed as an exhibit to this registration
statement provides for the reciprocal indemnifications by the Underwriters of
the Registrant, and its Directors, officers and controlling persons, and by
the Registrant of the Underwriters, and their respective directors, officers
and controlling persons, against certain liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
ITEM 34. TREATMENT OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK BEING REGISTERED.
 
  The consideration to be received by the Registrant for the shares registered
will be credited to the appropriate capital account.
 
ITEM 35. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
 
  See Index to Financial Statements and Index to Exhibits.
 
ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS.
 
  The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter
at the closing specified in the underwriting agreements, certificates in such
denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to
permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
                                     II-2

  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification
is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
 
  The Registrant hereby undertakes that: (1) for purposes of determining any
liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the
form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance
upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant
pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was
declared effective; and (2) for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form
of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

          Registration Statement Form S-11 (No. 333-07071)
          ------------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     In connection with the offering of Shares/1/ in Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated, a Maryland corporation ("ATLANTIC"), pursuant to the S-11
Registration Statement filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on June 28,
1996, as amended (the "Registration Statement"), you have requested our opinions
concerning (i) the qualification and taxation of ATLANTIC as a REIT and (ii) the
information in the Registration Statement under the headings "PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
- -- Tax Status of Atlantic" and "FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS."

     In formulating our opinions, we have reviewed and relied upon the
Registration Statement (including the Prospectus of Homestead), such other
documents and information provided by you, and such applicable provisions of law
as we have considered necessary or desirable for purposes of the opinions
expressed herein.

     In addition, we have relied upon certain representations made by ATLANTIC
relating to the organization and actual and proposed operation of ATLANTIC and
its relevant subsidiaries.  For purposes of our opinions, we have not made an
independent investigation of the facts set forth in such documents,
representations from ATLANTIC or the Registration Statement.  We have,
consequently, relied upon your representations that the information presented in
such documents, or otherwise furnished to us, accurately and completely
describes all material facts.

- --------------------

/1/  Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, all capitalized terms have
the meaning assigned to them in the Registration Statement.

     In rendering these opinions, we have assumed that the transactions
contemplated by the foregoing documents will be consummated in accordance with
the operative documents, and that such documents accurately reflect the material
facts of such transactions.  Our opinions expressed herein are based on the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), the Treasury regulations
promulgated thereunder, and the interpretations of the Code and such regulations
by the courts and the Internal Revenue Service, all as they are in effect and
exist at the date of this letter.  It should be noted that statutes,
regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative interpretations are subject
to change at any time and, in some circumstances, with retroactive effect.  A
material change that is made after the date hereof in any of the foregoing bases
for our opinions, could adversely affect our conclusions.

     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that:

     1.  Beginning with ATLANTIC's taxable year beginning on May 12, 1994,
ATLANTIC has been organized in conformity with the requirements for
qualification as a REIT under the Code, and ATLANTIC's actual and proposed
method of operation, as described in the Registration Statement and as
represented by ATLANTIC has enabled it and will continue to enable it to satisfy
the requirements for qualification as a REIT.

     2.  The information in the Registration Statement under the headings
"PROSPECTUS SUMMARY -- Tax Status of Atlantic" and "FEDERAL INCOME TAX
CONSIDERATIONS," to the extent that it constitutes matters of law or legal
conclusions, has been reviewed by us and is correct in all material respects.

     Other than as expressly stated above, we express no opinion on any issue
relating to ATLANTIC or to any investment therein.

                             --------------------------

     2.1  GENERAL.    The REIT Manager shall use its best efforts to perform
each of the duties set forth in this Agreement and shall have the authority to
take all actions and to execute all documents and instruments that it deems
necessary or advisable in connection with the management and operations of the
Company and the fulfillment of its duties as set forth herein, subject in each
matter to the supervision of the Board and to the Investment Policies of the
Company, and with respect to the acquisition, development, financing and
disposition of real property, to the prior approval of the Board.

     2.2  ANNUAL STRATEGIC PLAN.  The REIT Manager will prepare annually a
strategic plan that incorporates a specific business strategy, an annual
operating budget, investment and disposition objectives and capitalization and
funding strategies.  This plan will be presented in the fourth quarter of the
year prior to the year for which such plan applies to the Board for its review
and approval.  Consistent with the annual strategic plan, and subject to
supervision by the Board, the REIT Manager will provide acquisition, development
and disposition services including the following:

          (a)  Investigation and selection of possible acquisitions and
     developments, property analysis, market and economic surveys, on-site
     physical inspections, review and projection of income and operating
     expenses and, when desired, supervising and negotiating the arrangement of
     financing;

          (b)  Conducting negotiations with real estate brokers, owners of
     property and their agents, investment bankers and owners of privately and
     publicly held real estate  companies;

          (c)  Engaging and supervising, on behalf of the Company, independent
     contractors which provide real estate brokerage, investment banking (as to
     which an Affiliate of the REIT Manager may be used if there is no charge to
     the Company for its services, other than the REIT Management Fee) and
     leasing services, mortgage brokerage and other financial services and such
     other services as may be required relating to the Company Properties,
     provided, however, that the REIT Manager shall not share in any brokerage,
     investment banking or similar fees paid to any person engaged by the REIT
     Manager to perform such services for the Company; and

          (d)  Negotiating on behalf of the Company for the sale, exchange or
     other disposition of any Company Properties.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
     2.3  ASSET MANAGEMENT. The REIT Manager may retain third-party property
managers and leasing agents for administration, leasing and management of
Company Properties. Subject to the approval of a majority of the Board,
including a majority of the Independent Directors, the REIT Manager may provide
property management and/or leasing services for Company Properties through an
Affiliate of the REIT Manager on terms and conditions no less favorable to the
Company than those available from qualified unaffiliated third parties;
provided, however, that such services may not be provided through an Affiliate
of the REIT Manager if doing so would jeopardize the Company's qualification as
a real estate investment trust under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. The
Company and the REIT Manager will negotiate in good faith the terms of any
future management agreements between the Company and Affiliates of the REIT
Manager which are permitted pursuant to this Section 2.3.

     2.4  GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE DUTIES. The REIT Manager shall perform, or
supervise the performance of, the necessary administrative functions in the day-
to-day management of the Company and its operations, including, without
limitation, internal and external financial reporting, property accounting,
shareholder relations, supervision of stock registrar and transfer services and

duly insured, to the extent coverage is available on commercially reasonable
terms, against loss or damage by fire, with extended coverage, and against such
other insurable hazards and risks as is customary and appropriate in the

     3.1  REIT MANAGEMENT FEE.
          ------------------- 

     (a)  The Company shall pay the REIT Manager an annual REIT Management Fee
equal to the sum of (i) 16% of annual Cash Flow and (ii) the product of 0.20%
per annum multiplied

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
by the average daily balance of the Company's Cash Equivalent Investments,
measured at the end of each month. All payments of the REIT Management Fee shall
be subject to annual adjustment at year end as provided in Section 3.5 hereof.
The REIT Management Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears in such amounts
indicated by the annual operating budget approved by a majority of the Board, as
revised no more than quarterly to reflect known material changes.

     (b) Within 50 days following the end of each calendar quarter and within
100 calendar days after the end of each calendar year of the Company (following
the receipt by the Company of an auditor's report, prepared by a nationally
recognized independent accounting firm, with respect to the Company's financial
statements for such year), the REIT Manager shall deliver to the Company a
statement, certified by an officer of the REIT Manager, setting forth the
following: (i) the amount of the estimated REIT Management Fee actually paid by
the Company for all months during such quarter or year, as the case may be, (ii)
the amount of the REIT Management Fee that should have been paid for such
quarter or year, as the case may be, and (iii) the amount, if any, of accrued
and unpaid REIT Management Fees. If the annual or quarterly statement, as the
case may be, indicates an overpayment by the Company of the REIT Management Fee,
such overpayment shall be offset against the next ensuing estimated REIT
Management Fee to become due hereunder, or, if at any time no further REIT
Management Fee can become due, the balance of any overpayment shall be paid
without interest by the REIT Manager within 15 calendar days after demand
therefor by the Company, such repayment to be due and payable whether or not
this Agreement is still in full force and effect. If the annual or quarterly
statement, as the case may be, indicates an underpayment by the Company of the
REIT Management Fee with respect to the quarter or year covered thereby, the
Company, within 15 calendar days after receipt of the statement, shall pay to
the REIT Manager the amount of such underpayment. The REIT Management Fee for
any year shall not be recalculated on the basis of any post-year-end adjustments
to the Company's taxable income arising, directly or indirectly, from an audit
by the Internal Revenue Service.

     3.2 PAYMENT FOR ADDITIONAL SERVICES. If the Board shall request the REIT
Manager to render services to the Company other than those required to be
rendered by the REIT Manager hereunder, such additional services, if performed,
shall be compensated separately on terms to be agreed upon from time to time
between the REIT Manager and the Company, which terms shall not be less
favorable to the Company than either (a) the terms under which the REIT Manager
is then performing similar services for other persons, taking into account the
full range of services and prices therefor provided by the REIT Manager to such
other persons or (b) the terms under which qualified unaffiliated persons are
then performing such services for comparable organizations, provided that no
separate fee shall be charged to the Company for any investment banking services
provided by any Affiliate of the REIT Manager.

     Company;

          (b) costs of third-party legal, accounting, tax and similar services
     rendered for the Company;

     plan;

          (f) expenses connected with communications to holders of securities of
     the Company and the investment community in general (including meetings

     Affiliates of the REIT Manager and investors or analysts) and the other
     bookkeeping and clerical work necessary in maintaining relations with

     3.5 REFUND. With respect to any fiscal year in which a majority of the
Independent Directors do not find such excess justified, the Board may require
the REIT Manager either (a) to refund to the Company, to the extent of any fees
received by the REIT Manager during such fiscal year, the amount, if any, by
which the Total Operating Expenses of the Company for such fiscal year exceeded
the greater of (i) 2% of the sum for such fiscal year of the Average Invested
Assets of the Company or (ii) 25% of the Net Income of the Company for such
fiscal year or (b) to reduce its fees by the amount of such excess during the
balance of the fiscal year next following the fiscal year with respect to which
such refund is to be made.

which would involve the acquisition by the Company of property in which the REIT
Manager or any Affiliate thereof has an ownership interest, and neither the REIT
Manager nor any Affiliate thereof shall purchase or otherwise acquire from the
Company any Company Property; provided, however, that the REIT Manager may
recommend and consummate transactions which involve the acquisition by the
Company of property from or to Atlantic Development Services Incorporated
("Atlantic Development Services") or in which Atlantic Development Services has
an ownership interest, provided that the Company owns a substantial majority of
the economic interest in Atlantic Development Services and that a majority of
the Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transaction approve the transaction as being fair,
competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to the Company
than acquisitions or dispositions between unaffiliated parties under similar
circumstances.

     (b) Other than advances of expenses pursuant to Section 3.4 hereof, the
Company shall not make loans to, or borrow money from, the REIT Manager or any
Affiliate thereof, unless a majority of the Board (including a majority of the

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
     (c) The Company shall not invest in joint ventures with the REIT Manager or
any Affiliate thereof, unless a majority of the Board (including a majority of

the transaction as being fair and reasonable to the Company and on substantially

     (d) All other material transactions between the Company and the REIT
Manager, or any Affiliate thereof, shall require approval by a majority of the
Board (including a majority of the Independent Directors) not otherwise
interested in such transactions as being fair and reasonable to the Company and

                            IV.  TERMINATION; TERM

          VI.  LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION OF REIT MANAGER
               ---------------------------------------------

     6.1  LIMITATION ON LIABILITY.  The REIT Manager shall have no
responsibility other than to render the services and take the actions described
herein in good faith and with the exercise of due care and shall not be
responsible for any action of the Board in following or declining to follow any
advice or recommendation of the REIT Manager.  The REIT Manager, except by
reason of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, shall not
be liable for any action taken, omitted or suffered to be taken by it in good
faith and believed by it to be authorized or within its discretion or rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Agreement or in reasonable reliance upon the
written opinion of counsel of recognized expertise.

     6.2  INDEMNIFICATION.

     (a) The Company shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the REIT
Manager and its directors, officers, shareholders, agents and employees and each
other person or entity, if any, controlling the REIT Manager (an "Indemnified
Party"), to the full extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of any nature whatsoever with respect to or arising from
any acts or omissions of the REIT Manager (including ordinary negligence) in its
capacity as such, except with respect to losses, claims, damages or liabilities
with respect to or arising out of the REIT Manager's gross negligence, bad faith
or willful misconduct.

     (b) Notwithstanding the indemnification provisions in Section 6.2(a) above,
indemnification will not be allowed for any liability imposed by judgment, and
costs associated

                                      -13-
<PAGE>
 
therewith, including attorneys' fees, arising from or out of a violation of
state or federal securities laws associated with the offer and sale of Company
securities.  Indemnification will be allowed for settlement and related expenses
of lawsuits alleging securities law violations, and for expenses incurred in
successfully defending such lawsuits, provided that a court either (i) approves
the settlement and finds that indemnification of the settlement and related
costs should be made or (ii) approves indemnification of litigation costs if a
successful defense is made.  If indemnification is unavailable as a result of
this Section 6.2(b), the Company shall contribute to the aggregate losses,
claims, damages or liabilities to which the REIT Manager or its officers,
directors, agents, employees or controlling persons may be subject in such
amount as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the
Company and the party seeking contribution and the relative faults of the
Company and the party seeking contribution, as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.

     (c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the Company, notify the Company in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the Company shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party pursuant
to Section 6.2(a) hereof, unless the failure to so notify would itself
constitute gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  In case any such
action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party and it shall notify the
Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and, after notice
from the Company to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under
Section 6.2(a) hereof for any legal expenses of other counsel or any of the
expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party, unless
(i) the Company and the Indemnified Party shall have mutually agreed to the
retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding
(including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Indemnified
Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be
inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, due to actual
or potential differing interests between them.

     (d) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.2 shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company otherwise may have.

     6.3  REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF COMPANY.

     (a) The Company represents and warrants as of the date hereof that:

     governing the Company to enter into all of the types of investments and co-
     investments described in the Investment Policies;

          (iii) the execution and performance of this Agreement by the Company
     will not conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or
     provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation
     of, any agreement or instrument to which the Company is subject;

          (iv) the terms of this Agreement are in conformity with the applicable
     laws governing the Company; and

          (v) the assets of the Company do not constitute "plan assets" within
     the meaning of the Department of Labor plan asset regulation published at
     29 C.F.R. (S) 2510.3-101.

     (b) The Company shall promptly advise the REIT Manager in writing of any
agreements or changes in any agreements, instruments, governing law, regulations
or interpretations thereof affecting the investments of the Company or the
duties, responsibilities, liabilities or obligations of the REIT Manager, and
any change or any contemplated change with respect to any of the foregoing or
the operation or administration of the Company that could cause the assets of
the Company to constitute "plan assets" as defined in paragraph 6.3(a)(v) above.

policies of the Company.  Directors, officers, employees and agents of the REIT
Manager or any of its Affiliates may serve as Directors, officers, employees,

Borrower or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, and that the lien of such
Mortgage is a valid first priority Lien on such Mortgaged Property, subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions and such other Liens and exceptions as shall be
acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion and containing such endorsements
as the Agent may reasonably request.

          "Total Available Commitments" means, at any time of determination, the
lesser of (i) 65% of the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Value at such time, (ii)
the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans that could have been outstanding
during the most recent preceding twelve-month period as to which a certificate
has been delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(c) in order for Mortgaged Property
Cash Flow for such period from property which is Mortgaged Property at such time
of determination to have been not less than 170% of the interest expense with
respect to such maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans for such period,
assuming that the interest rate applicable from time to time with respect to
such maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans during such twelve-month period
was the greater of (a) the average actual rate in effect during such twelve-
month period with respect to the Loans actually outstanding during such twelve-
month period, (b) the average actual rate in effect at the end of such twelve-
month period and (c) 8.25% with respect to any twelve-month period, (iii) the
aggregate amount of the Commitments at such time, or (iv) prior to the
Subsequent Closing Date, $350,000,000 less the aggregate amount, if any, by
which the Commitments shall have been reduced prior to the Subsequent Closing
Date.

          "Unfunded Liabilities" means, with respect to any Plan at any time,
the amount (if any) by which (i) the value of all benefit liabilities under such
Plan, determined on a plan termination basis using the assumptions prescribed by
the PBGC for purposes of Section 4044 of ERISA, exceeds (ii) the fair market
value of all Plan assets allocable to such liabilities under Title IV of ERISA
(excluding any accrued but unpaid contributions), all determined as of the then
most recent valuation date for such Plan, but only to the extent that such
excess represents a potential liability of a member of the ERISA Group to the
PBGC or any other Person under Title IV of ERISA.

          "Unit Amount" means $200 for each period of twelve months (or a pro
rata portion thereof for any shorter period) increased by 3% compounded annually
commencing January 1, 1995 (i.e., the unit amount shall be $200 for a period of
twelve months ending on or prior to December 31, 1994, $206 for a period of
twelve months consisting of calendar year 1995, $212.18 for a period of twelve
months consisting of calendar year 1996, $218.54 for a period of twelve months
consisting of calendar year 1997, etc.).

          "United States" means the United States of America, including the
States and the District of Columbia, but excluding its territories and
possessions.

          "Unpledged Acquisition Cost" means, with respect to each unpledged
property (as defined in Section 5.13 hereof), the purchase price (exclusive of
the portion of the purchase price attributable to items customarily apportioned)
paid by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, in acquiring
such unpledged property, plus related transaction costs capitalized in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and recorded on the
books of the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, and plus any
Capital Expenditures attributable to such unpledged property.

          SECTION 1.02.  Accounting Terms and Determinations.  Unless otherwise
specified herein, all accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all
accounting determinations hereunder shall be made, and all financial statements
required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles as in effect from time to time, applied
on a basis consistent (except for changes concurred in by the Borrower's
independent public accountants) with the most recent consolidated financial
statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered to the
Banks;

                                     -23-
<PAGE>
 
provided that, if the Borrower notifies the Agent that the Borrower wishes to
amend any covenant in Article V to eliminate the effect of any change in
generally accepted accounting principles on the operation of such covenant (or
if the Agent notifies the Borrower that the Required Banks wish to amend Article
V for such purpose), then the Borrower's compliance with such covenant shall be
determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles in effect
immediately before the relevant change in generally accepted accounting
principles became effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such
covenant is amended in a manner satisfactory to the Borrower and the Required
Banks.

          SECTION 1.03.  Types of Borrowings.  The term "Borrowing" denotes the
aggregation of Loans of one or more Banks to be made to the Borrower pursuant to
Article II (or a Swing Loan made solely by the Swing Lender) on the same date
and for the same Interest Periods.  Borrowings are classified for purposes of
this Agreement by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing
(e.g., a "Euro-Dollar Borrowing" is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans).

          SECTION 1.04.  No Novation.  It is expressly understood and agreed
that this Agreement is not intended as, and shall not in any respect be
construed or interpreted to create or effect, a novation of the Original Credit
Agreement or of the Borrower Mortgage, nor shall this Agreement extinguish,
terminate or impair in any respect the validity or priority of the Lien or
security interest of the Banks in the Mortgaged Property as set forth in the
Borrower Mortgage or the obligations of Borrower as mortgagor thereunder, all of
which are expressly reaffirmed by Borrower.


                                   ARTICLE II

                                  THE CREDITS


          SECTION 2.01.  Commitments to Lend.

          (a)  During Revolving Credit Period.  (i) During the Revolving Credit
Period, each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in
this Agreement, to make loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section from time
to time in amounts such that the aggregate principal amount of Loans by such
Bank at any one time outstanding shall not exceed the amount of its Available
Commitment.  Each Borrowing under this Section

                                     -24-
<PAGE>
 
2.01 (a)(i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or any
larger multiple of $1,000,000 (except that any such Borrowing may be in the
aggregate amount available) and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in
proportion to their respective Commitments.  Within the foregoing limits, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a)(i), prepay Loans to the extent
permitted by Section 2.10, and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit
Period under this subsection (a).

          (ii) Swing Loans.  During the Revolving Credit Period, the Swing
Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to make
loans to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01(a)(ii) from time to time in
amounts such that (i) the aggregate principal amount of Swing Loans does not at
any time exceed the Swing Loan Commitment, and (ii) the sum of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swing Loans at such time does not
exceed the aggregate Available Commitments.  Each Borrowing under this Section
2.01(a)(ii) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or any
larger multiple thereof (except that any such Borrowing may be in the aggregate
available amount of Swing Loans determined in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence).  Within the foregoing limits, the Borrower may borrow under
this Section 2.01(a)(ii), repay or, to the extent permitted by Section 2.10,
prepay Swing Loans and reborrow at any time during the Revolving Credit Period
under this Section 2.1(a)(ii).

          (iii)  Conversion of Swing Loans to Loans.  The Swing Lender shall, on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swing Lender to act
on its behalf), on notice given by the Swing Lender no later than 12:00 Noon
(New York City time), on the Domestic Business Day immediately following the
funding of any Swing Loan, request each Bank to make, and each Bank hereby
agrees to make, a Base Rate Loan, in an amount (with respect to each Bank, its
"Swing Loan Refund Amount") equal to such Bank's ratable share of the aggregate
Commitments with respect to the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans
(the "Refunded Swing Loans") outstanding on the date of such notice, to repay
the Swing Lender.  Unless any of the events described in clause (g) or (h) of
Section 6.01 with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing
(in which case the procedures of Section 2.01(a)(v) shall apply), each Bank
shall make such Base Rate Loan available to the Agent at its address specified
in or pursuant to Section 9.01 in immediately available funds, not later than
12:00

                                     -25-
<PAGE>
 
Noon (New York City time), on the Domestic Business Day immediately following
the date of such notice.  The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Loans to the
Swing Lender, which shall immediately apply such proceeds to repay Refunded
Swing Loans.  Effective on the day such Loans are made, the portion of the Swing
Loans so paid shall no longer be outstanding as Swing Loans, shall no longer be
due as Swing Loans under the Note held by the Swing Lender, and shall be due as
Base Rate Loans under the respective Notes issued to the Banks (including the
Swing Lender) in accordance with their ratable share of the aggregate
Commitments.  The Borrower authorizes the Swing Lender to charge the Borrower's
accounts with the Agent (up to the amount available in each such account) in
order to immediately pay the amount of such Refunded Swing Loans to the extent
amounts received from the Banks are not sufficient to repay in full such
Refunded Swing Loans.

          (iv) Purchase of Participations in Swing Loans.  If, prior to the time
Loans would have otherwise been made pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iii), one of
the events described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.01 with respect to the
Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing, each Bank shall, on the date
such Loans were to have been made pursuant to the notice referred to in Section
2.01(a)(iii) (the "Refunding Date"), purchase an undivided participating
interest in the Swing Loans in an amount equal to such Bank's Swing Loan Refund
Amount.  On the Refunding Date, each Bank shall transfer to the Swing Lender, in
immediately available funds, such Bank's Swing Loan Refund Amount, and upon
receipt thereof the Swing Lender shall deliver to such Bank a Swing Loan
participation certificate dated the date of the Swing Lender's receipt of such
funds and in the Swing Loan Refund Amount of such Bank.

          (v) Payments on Participated Swing Loans.  Whenever, at any time after
the Swing Lender has received from any Bank such Bank's Swing Loan Refund Amount
pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iv), the Swing Lender receives any payment on
account of the Swing Loans in which the Banks have purchased participations
pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iv), the Swing Lender will promptly distribute to
each such Bank its ratable share (determined on the basis of the Swing Loan
Refund Amounts of all of the Banks) of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in
the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Bank's participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however,
that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Lender is required to
be returned, such Bank will return to the Swing Lender


                                     -26-
<PAGE>
 
any portion thereof previously distributed to it by the Swing Lender.

          (vi) Obligations to Refund or Purchase Participations in Swing Loans
Absolute.  Each Bank's obligation to transfer the amount of a Loan to the Swing
Lender as provided in Section 2.01(a)(iii) or to purchase a participating
interest pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(iv) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i)
any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Bank,
the Borrower or any other Person may have against the Swing Lender or any other
Person, other than the Swing Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct in
connection with making any such Swing Loan, (ii) the occurrence or continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default or the termination or reduction of the
Commitments, (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise)
of the Borrower or any other Person, (iv) any breach of this Agreement by the
Borrower, any other Bank or any other Person, or (v) any other circumstance,
happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

          (b)  After Revolving Credit Period.  If the Borrower has elected the
Conversion Option, each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, to maintain its Loans outstanding on the Conversion
Date for a maximum term of three years; provided that the principal amount of
such Bank's Loans shall not exceed the principal amount of its Loans outstanding
on the Conversion Date; and provided, further, that the aggregate principal
amount of such Bank's outstanding Loans shall at no time exceed the amount of
its Available Commitment.  On and after the Conversion Date, amounts prepaid or
required to be repaid pursuant to Article II shall not be reborrowed, and
amounts repaid pursuant to Section 8.02 shall not be reborrowed except as
provided therein.

          (c)  [Intentionally Omitted]

          (d)  Extension of Revolver Termination Date.  The Borrower may request
a one-year extension of the Revolver Termination Date then in effect by
delivering a written request therefor to the Agent not more than sixteen months
or less than fifteen months prior to such Revolver Termination Date (a "Request
to Extend").  The Agent shall notify the Banks of the receipt of such request
and each Bank shall give notice in writing to the Agent not less than fourteen
months prior to the Revolver Termination Date of such Bank's acceptance or
rejection


                                     -27-
<PAGE>
 
of such request.  If all the Banks shall have notified the Agent on or prior to
the date which is fourteen months prior to the Revolver Termination Date that
they accept such request, the Revolver Termination Date shall be extended for
one year.  If any Bank shall not have notified the Agent on or prior to the date
which is fourteen months prior to the Revolver Termination Date that it accepts
such request, the Revolver Termination Date shall not be extended.  The Agent
shall notify the Borrower whether the Request to Extend has been accepted or
rejected as well as which Bank or Banks rejected the Borrower's Request to
Extend (each such Bank a "Rejecting Bank").
 
          Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, within 40 days after
notification from the Agent that the Request to Extend has been rejected (a
"Notice of Rejection"), and provided that the aggregate amount of Commitments of
the Rejecting Banks do not exceed 20% of the total aggregate amount of
Commitments then outstanding, the Borrower may by written notice to the Agent
and any Rejecting Bank exercise either or a combination of the following
options:  (i) require any Rejecting Bank to assign all of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to any
transferee selected by the Borrower and approved by the Agent (a "Transferee"),
or (ii) prepay the entire amount of the outstanding Loan from each such
Rejecting Bank, in which case each such Rejecting Bank's Commitment shall be $0,
in each of clause (i) and (ii) pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth
below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, in no event the aggregate of all
Commitments of all Banks (including any Transferee pursuant to clause (i) above)
shall be less than $280,000,000.

          In the event the Borrower elects the option set forth in clause (i)
above, the assignment shall occur pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and
Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, effective no
later than the 40th day after the Borrower receives a Notice of Rejection from
the Agent, and otherwise pursuant to Section 9.06(c) hereof.  On such effective
date the Transferee shall pay to such Rejecting Bank the principal amount
outstanding of the Loans assigned to it by such Rejecting Bank, together with
accrued interest thereon, as well as the accrued Commitment Fee with respect to
the Commitment of such Rejecting Bank, and, if such effective date is not the
last day of the Interest Period for each of the Loans being assigned, the
Borrower shall reimburse to the Rejecting Bank the losses and expenses specified
in Section 2.12.  The Borrower shall also deliver to the Agent on such effective
date (y) an


                                     -28-
<PAGE>
 
executed copy of such Assignment and Assumption Agreement and (z) written
confirmation from such Transferee that it accepts the Request to Extend, and,
upon such receipt with respect to all Transferees, the Agent shall notify the
Borrower that the Request to Extend has been accepted.

          (e)  Conversion Option.  If the Borrower delivers a Request to Extend
as provided in Section 2.01(d), any Bank shall not have notified the Agent on or
prior to the date which is fourteen months prior to the Revolver Termination
Date that it accepts such request, and such Bank has not been paid in full to
the extent of its outstanding Commitment or replaced by a Transferee accepting
such extension pursuant to Section 2.01(d), then not later than 55 days after
the Agent has notified the Borrower that the Request to Extend has been
rejected, if (y) no Default has then occurred and is continuing, provided that
if the Agent shall have actual notice of such Default, it shall have provided
notice thereof to the Borrower, and (z) no Event of Default has then occurred
and is continuing, the Borrower may notify the Agent that it elects both to
terminate the Revolving Credit Period one year prior to the Revolver Termination
Date then in effect (the date of such termination being the "Conversion Date")
and effective as of the Conversion Date to maintain its Loans then outstanding
pursuant to Section 2.01(b) (the "Conversion Option").

          SECTION 2.02.  Notice of Borrowing.  The Borrower shall give the Agent
notice (a "Notice of Borrowing") not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time)
on (w) the Domestic Business Day before each Base Rate Borrowing, (x) the third
Domestic Business Day before each CD Borrowing, (y) the third Euro-Dollar
Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing, and (z) the date of each
Borrowing of a Swing Loan, specifying:

          (a)  the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Domestic Business
Day in the case of a Domestic Borrowing or Swing Borrowing, or a Euro-Dollar
Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing,

          (b)  the aggregate amount of such Borrowing,

          (c)  whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be initially
CD Loans, Base Rate Loans, Swing Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, provided that, all
Swing Loans shall bear interest based on the Base Rate, and

          (d)  in the case of a Fixed Rate Borrowing, the duration of the
initial Interest Period applicable there-


                                     -29-
<PAGE>
 
to, subject to the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          No more than four (4) Swing Loans may be borrowed during any calendar
month.

          SECTION 2.03.  Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.
                         --------------------------------- 

          (a)  Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly
notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank's share (if any) of
such Borrowing and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter be revocable by
the Borrower.

          (b)  Not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of
each Borrowing (or 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of each Swing
Borrowing), each Bank (or, in the case of a Swing Loan, the Swing Lender)
participating therein shall make available its share of such Borrowing, in
Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City, to the Agent at
its address referred to in Section 9.01.  Unless the Agent determines that any
applicable condition specified in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent
will make the funds so received from the Banks available to the Borrower at the
Agent's aforesaid address not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time).

          (c)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to
the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Agent
such Bank's share of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Bank has
made such share available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in
accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.03 and the Agent may, in
reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a
corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so
made such share available to the Agent, such Bank and the Borrower severally
agree to repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made
available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at
(i) in the case of the Borrower, a rate per annum equal to the higher of the
Federal Funds Rate and the interest rate applicable thereto pursuant to Section
2.06 and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Bank
shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Bank's Loan included in such Borrowing for purposes of this
Agreement.

          SECTION 2.04.  Notes.
                         ----- 

          (a)  The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note
payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such
Bank's Loans.

          (b)  Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Agent, request
that its Loans of a particular type, including Swing Loans, be evidenced by a
separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
such Loans.  Each such Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A
hereto with appropriate modifications to reflect the fact that it evidences
solely Loans of the relevant type.  Each reference in this Agreement to the
"Note" of such Bank shall be deemed to refer to and include any or all of such
Notes, as the context may require.

          (c)  Upon receipt of each Bank's Note pursuant to Section 3.01(a), the
Agent shall forward such Note to such Bank.  Each Bank shall record the date,
amount and type of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment
of principal made by the Borrower with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so
elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on
the schedule forming a part thereof appropriate notations to evidence the
foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided
that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement shall
not affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes.  Each
Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to endorse its Note and
to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule as
and when required.

          SECTION 2.05.  Method of Electing Interest Rates.  (a)  The Loans
included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.  Thereafter,
the Borrower may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of
interest rate borne by all the Loans comprised in such Borrowing (subject in
each case to the provisions of Article VIII and except for any Swing Loans), as
follows:

               (i)  if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to
     convert such Loans to CD Loans as of any Domestic Business Day or to Euro-
     Dollar Loans as of any Euro-Dollar Business Day;

                                     -31-
<PAGE>
 
               (ii)   if such Loans are CD Loans, the Borrower may elect to
     convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans or elect to
     continue such Loans as CD Loans for an additional Interest Period, in each
     case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period
     applicable to such Loans;

               (iii)  if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may
     elect to convert such Loans to Base Rate Loans or CD Loans or elect to
     continue such Loans as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period,
     in each case effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period
     applicable to such Loans. 

     Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a "Notice of Inter
est Rate Election") to the Agent at least three Euro-Dollar Business Days before
the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective
(unless the relevant Loans are to be converted from Domestic Loans of one type
to Domestic Loans of the other type or converted from Euro-Dollar Loans to
Domestic Loans or continued as Domestic Loans of the same type for an additional
Interest Period, in which case such notice shall be delivered to the Agent at
least three Domestic Business Days before such conversion or continuation is to
be effective). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of any conversion of a
Euro-Dollar Loan or CD Loan to a Base Rate Loan, or the continuation of a Base
Rate Loan, such notice need only be delivered to the Agent at least one Domestic
Business Day before such conversion or continuation is to be effective. During
the Revolving Credit Period a Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so
specifies, divide the aggregate principal amount of the relevant Borrowing into
two or more portions, each of which shall thereafter be deemed a "Borrowing";
provided that each such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans comprising
such Borrowing and is at least $2,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000.

          (b)  Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

                (i)   the Borrowing to which such notice applies;

               (ii)   the date on which the conversion or continuation selected
     in such notice is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable
     clause of subsection (a) above;

                                  -32-      
<PAGE>
 
               (iii)  if the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be
     converted, the new type of Loans and, if such Loans of a new type are Fixed
     Rate Loans, the duration of the next Interest Period applicable thereto;
     and

               (iv)   if such Loans are to be continued as CD Loans or Euro-
     Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period, the duration of such
     additional Interest Period,

and, if requested by the Agent, shall be accompanied by a certificate of the
Borrower satisfactory to the Agent showing the calculation of Total Available
Commitments as of the commencement of such Interest Period.

          Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election
shall comply with the provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          (c)  Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the
Borrower pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Agent shall promptly notify each
Bank of the contents thereof and such notice shall not thereafter by revocable
by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest
Rate Election to the Agent for any Borrowing consisting of Fixed Rate Loans,
such Loans shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.06.  Interest Rates.
                         -------------- 

          (a)  Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day from the date such Loan is made until it
becomes due, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate for such day. Such
interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and,
with respect to the principal amount of any Base Rate Loan converted to a CD
Loan or a Euro-Dollar Loan, on each date a Base Rate Loan is so converted. Any
overdue principal of or interest on any Base Rate Loan shall bear interest,
payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per annum equal to the sum
of 4% plus the rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans for such day.

          (b)  Each CD Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable thereto, at

provided that if any CD Loan or any portion thereof shall, as a result of clause
(2)(b) or (2)(c)(i) of the definition of Interest Period, have an Interest
Period of less than 30 days, such portion shall bear interest during such
Interest Period at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans during such period.
Such interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof
and, if such Interest Period is longer than 90 days, at intervals of 90 days
after the first day thereof. Any overdue principal of or interest on any CD Loan
shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day until paid at a rate per
annum equal to the sum of 4% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the CD Margin
plus the Adjusted CD Rate applicable to such Loan at the date such payment was

           ---------               

          The "Adjusted CD Rate" applicable to any Interest Period means a rate
per annum determined pursuant to the following formula:

                   [ CDBR       ]*
          ACDR  =  [ ---------- ]  + AR
                   [ 1.00 - DRP ]
 
          ACDR  =  Adjusted CD Rate
          CDBR  =  CD Base Rate
           DRP  =  Domestic Reserve Percentage
            AR  =  Assessment Rate
     _________
     *  The amount in brackets being rounded upward, if
     necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%

          The "CD Base Rate" applicable to any Interest Period is the rate of
interest determined by the Agent to be the average (rounded upward, if
necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) of the prevailing rates per annum bid
at 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) (or as soon thereafter as practicable) on the
first day of such Interest Period by two or more New York certificate of deposit
dealers of recognized standing for the purchase at face value from the CD
Reference Bank of its certificates of deposit in an amount comparable to the
principal amount of the CD Loan of the CD Reference Bank to which such Interest
Period applies and having a maturity comparable to such Interest Period.

          "Domestic Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage
(expressed as a decimal) which is in

                                     -34-

effect on such day, as prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (or any successor) for determining the maximum reserve
requirement (including without limitation any basic, supplemental or emergency
reserves) for a member bank of the Federal Reserve System in New York City with
deposits exceeding five billion dollars in respect of new non-personal time
deposits in dollars in New York City having a maturity comparable to the related
Interest Period and in an amount of $100,000 or more. The Adjusted CD Rate shall
be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the
Domestic Reserve Percentage.

          "Assessment Rate" means for any day the annual assessment rate in
effect on such day which is payable by a member of the Bank Insurance Fund
classified as adequately capitalized and within supervisory subgroup "A" (or a
comparable successor assessment risk classification) within the meaning of 12
C.F.R. (S) 327.3(d) (or any successor provision) to the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (or any successor) for such Corporation's (or such
successor's) insuring time deposits at offices of such institution in the United
States. The Adjusted CD Rate shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the
effective date of any change in the Assessment Rate.

          (c)  Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof, for each day during each Interest Period applicable
thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the
Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such Interest Period.  Such
interest shall be payable for each Interest Period on the last day thereof and,
if such Interest Period is longer than three months, at intervals of three
months after the first day thereof.

          "Euro-Dollar Margin" means 1.50%.

          The "Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any
Interest Period means a rate per annum equal to the quotient obtained (rounded
upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by dividing (i) the
applicable London Interbank Offered Rate by (ii) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage.

          The "London Interbank Offered Rate" applicable to any Interest Period
means the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/16 of 1%)
of the respective rates per annum at which deposits in dollars are offered to
the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank in the London interbank market at approximately
11:00 a.m.

                                     -35-

(London time) two Euro-Dollar Business Days before the first day of such
Interest Period in an amount approximately equal to the principal amount of the

is to apply and for a period of time comparable to such Interest Period.

          "Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage" means for any day that percentage

respect of "Eurocurrency liabilities" (or in respect of any other category of
liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on
Euro-Dollar Loans is determined or any category of extensions of credit or other
assets which includes loans by a non-United States office of any Bank to United
States residents). The Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate shall be adjusted
automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage.

          (d)  Any overdue principal of or interest on any Euro-Dollar Loan
shall bear interest, payable on demand, for each day from and including the date
payment thereof was due to but excluding the date of actual payment, at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of 4% plus the higher of (i) the sum of the Euro-
Dollar Margin plus the Adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate applicable to such
Loan at the date such payment was due and (ii) the Euro-Dollar Margin plus the
quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%)
by dividing (x) the average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher
1/16 of 1%) of the respective rates per annum at which one day (or, if such
amount due remains unpaid more than three Euro-Dollar Business Days, then for
such other period of time not longer than one month as the Agent may select)
deposits in dollars in an amount approximately equal to such overdue payment due
to the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank are offered to the Euro-Dollar Reference Bank
in the London interbank market for the applicable period determined as provided
above by (y) 1.00 minus the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage (or, if the
circumstances described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.01 shall exist, at a
rate per annum equal to the sum of 4% plus the rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans for such day).

          (e)  Each Swing Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal
amount thereof, and in the case of

                                     -36-

day equal to the rate that would be applicable to a Loan that is a Base Rate
Loan on such day.

          (f)  The Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the
Loans hereunder.  The Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the
participating Banks of each rate of interest so determined, and its
determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (g)  Each Reference Bank agrees to use its best efforts to furnish
quotations to the Agent as contemplated by this Section.  If any Reference Bank
does not furnish a timely quotation, the Agent shall determine the relevant
interest rate on the basis of the quotation or quotations furnished by the
remaining Reference Bank or Banks or, if none of such quotations is available on
a timely basis, the provisions of Section 8.01 shall apply.

          SECTION 2.07.  Fees.
                         ---- 

          (a)  Up Front Fee. On the Current Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay
to the Agent for the account of the Banks an arrangement fee equal to .50% of
the sum of (x) the aggregate Commitments from each Bank which, as of the Current
Closing Date, exceeds the aggregate Commitments from such Banks as of the day
immediately preceding the Current Closing Date, or (y) as to the Banks which are
not parties to the Original Credit Agreement, the sum of such Banks' aggregate
Commitments.

          ((b) Commitment Fee. During the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower
shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in proportion to
their Commitments a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") at the rate of 3/16 of
1% per annum on the daily average amount by which the aggregate amount of the
Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and
Swing Loans. The Commitment Fee shall accrue from and including the Initial
Closing Date to but excluding the Revolver Termination Date (or such earlier
date that the Commitments terminate in their entirety).

          (c)  Payments. Accrued fees under paragraph (a) above shall be payable
on the last day of each consecutive three-month period, the first such day being
three months from the date hereof and the last such day being the Revolver
Termination Date.

                                     -37-

          (d)  Extension Fee.  Within one week of the notification by the Agent
to the Borrower that a Request to Extend has been accepted pursuant to Section

ratably in proportion to their Commitments an extension fee of 1/4 of 1% of the
Commitments then outstanding.

          (e)  Conversion Fee.  On the date that pursuant to Section 2.01(e) the
Borrower notifies the Agent of its election of the Conversion Option, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Banks ratably in
proportion to their Commitments a conversion fee of 1/4 of 1% of the Commitments
that will be outstanding as of the Conversion Date.

          SECTION 2.08. Optional Termination or Reduction of Commitments. During
the Revolving Credit Period, the Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic
Business Days' notice to the Agent, (i) terminate the Commitments at any time,
if no Loans or Swing Loans are outstanding at such time or (ii) ratably reduce
from time to time by an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any larger multiple
thereof, the aggregate amount of the Commitments in excess of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the Swing Loans.

          SECTION 2.09.  Maturity; Mandatory Termination or Reduction of
Commitments.

          (a)  The Commitments and Swing Commitment shall terminate on the
Revolver Termination Date or, if pursuant to Section 2.01(e) the Borrower has
exercised the Conversion Option, except with respect to the Swing Loans, on the
third anniversary of the Conversion Date, and any Loans then outstanding
(together with accrued interest thereon) shall mature and be due and payable on
such date.

          (b)  Intentionally Omitted.

          (c)  In the event that at any time any parcel of real property
constituting Mortgaged Property is released from the lien of any Mortgage except
pursuant to the terms of Section 9.09, the Commitment of each Bank shall be
reduced immediately prior to such release by an amount equal to the product of
the Individual Mortgaged Property Value of such parcel multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be such Bank's Commitment immediately prior to such
release, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of the
Commitments immediately prior to such release.

                                     -38-
<PAGE>
 
          (d)  In the event that at any time the aggregate amount of Commitments
shall be reduced under the circumstances and in the amount specified in Section
5(f), Section 5(g) or Section 5(h) of any Mortgage (each such amount, a "Section
5 Amount"), the Commitment of each Bank shall be reduced at such time by an
amount equal to the product of such Section 5 Amount multiplied by a fraction,
the numerator of which shall be such Bank's Commitment immediately prior to such
reduction, and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate amount of the
Commitments immediately prior to such reduction.

          (e)  On any date on or after the Conversion Date on which the
Commitment of any Bank shall be greater than the principal amount of the Loan or
Loans or Swing Loans of such Bank outstanding on such date (after giving effect
to any repayment, prepayment and borrowing on such date), the Commitment of such
Bank shall be automatically reduced to an amount equal to such outstanding
principal amount.

          (f)  The Commitment of each Bank shall be further reduced, on (x) each
of the first five Commitment Reduction Dates, by an amount equal to fifteen
percent (15%) of the amount of such Bank's Commitment in effect on the
Conversion Date (after giving effect to any reduction pursuant to subsection (e)
on such date), and (y) the sixth Commitment Reduction Date, by an amount equal
to twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of such Bank's Commitment in effect
on the Conversion Date (after giving effect to any reduction pursuant to
subsection (e) on such date). No reduction of any Commitment pursuant to
subsection (c), (d) or (e) shall reduce the amount of any subsequent mandatory
reduction of such Commitment pursuant to this subsection (f).

          (g)  On each date of reduction of any Commitment, the Borrower shall
repay such principal amount (together with accrued interest thereon) of each
Bank's outstanding Loans or Swing Loans, if any, as may be necessary so that
after such repayment the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Bank's
Loans or Swing Loans does not exceed the amount of such Bank's Available
Commitment as then reduced.

          SECTION 2.10.  Optional Prepayments.
                         --------------------

<PAGE>
 
$1,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount
to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of
the several Banks included in such Borrowing.

          (b)  The Borrower may, upon at least three Domestic Business Days'
notice to the Agent, in the case of a Borrowing comprised of CD Loans or upon at
least three Euro-Dollar Business Days' notice to the Agent, in case of a
Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans, prepay the Loans comprising such
Borrowing, on the last day of any Interest Period applicable to such Borrowing,
in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating
$2,000,000 or any larger multiple of $1,000,000, by paying the principal amount
to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment.
Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of
the several Banks included in such Borrowing.

          (c)  Upon receipt of a notice of prepayment pursuant to this Section,
the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of such
Bank's ratable share (if any) of such prepayment and such notice shall not
thereafter be revocable by the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.11.  General Provisions as to Payments.
                         --------------------------------- 

          (a)  The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and
interest on, the Loans and of fees hereunder, not later than 12:00 Noon (New
York City time) on the date when due, in Federal or other funds immediately
available in New York City, to the Agent at its address referred to in Section
9.01. The Agent will promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each
such payment received by the Agent for the account of the Banks. Whenever any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Domestic Loans or of fees shall be
due on a day which is not a Domestic Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Domestic Business Day. Whenever any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a
day which is not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-
Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar month, in which case the date for
payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business Day. If the
date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law

                                     -40-
<PAGE>
 
or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

          (b)  Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the
Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that the
Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent
may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on
such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the
extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall
repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the
Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

          SECTION 2.12. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of
principal with respect to any Fixed Rate Loan or any Fixed Rate Loan is
converted to a Base Rate Loan (pursuant to this Article II or Article VI or VIII
or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, or the last day of an applicable period fixed pursuant to
Section 2.06(c), or if the Borrower fails to borrow or prepay any Fixed Rate
Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.03(a)
or 2.10(c), the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after demand
for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing or
prospective Participant in the related Loan), including (without limitation) any
loss incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period after any such payment or
conversion or failure to borrow or prepay; provided that such Bank shall have
delivered to the Borrower a certificate as to the amount of such loss or
expense, which certificate shall be prima facie evidence of the matters
certified therein.

          SECTION 2.13. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the
Prime Rate hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or
366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed
(including the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and
fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day if and only if such payment is made in accordance with the provisions of the
first sentence of Section 2.11(a)).

<PAGE>
 
conducted, (z) has received no written communication, from a governmental
authority, alleging that the Borrower or any such Subsidiary or the Property
Manager or the REIT Manager is not in full compliance with all Environmental
Laws, and there are no events or circumstances, to the Borrower's or any
Subsidiary's or the Property Manager's or the REIT Manager's knowledge, that may
prevent or interfere with such full compliance in the future, except to the
extent non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) there is no
Environmental Claim pending or, to the Borrower's or any such Subsidiary's or
the Property Manager's or the REIT Manager's knowledge, threatened against the
Borrower or any such Subsidiary or the Property Manager or the REIT Manager,
(iii) to the Borrower's or any such Subsidiary's or the Property Manager's or
the REIT Manager's knowledge, there are no past or present actions, activities,

in its capacity as Property Manager or REIT Manager with respect to the
Mortgaged Property.

          SECTION 4.08.  Taxes.  The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have filed
all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns
which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to
such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower or any
Subsidiary, except if such assessment is being contested in good faith by

thereto.  The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Borrower and
its Subsid-



                                     -49-

ownership. The Equity Interests owned by the Borrower or by NCGP or NCLP have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable and
will be so owned free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances, or title defects or
adverse claims, except Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents
and inchoate tax liens. No Subsidiary Guarantor is subject to any contractual or
legal restrictions on its ability to declare and pay dividends or other
distributions in respect of its Equity Interests, and there is no agreement
restricting the transfer or pledge of any Equity Interests of any Subsidiary
Guarantor other than the Loan Documents. NCGP is the sole general partner, and

against any asset of NC Sub except for the rights of NCGP and NCLP pursuant to
the Partnership Agreement.

          SECTION 4.10.  Investments.  Neither the Borrower nor any Consolidated
Subsidiary has any Investment in any Person other than Investments specified in

          SECTION 4.12.  Full Disclosure.  All information heretofore furnished
by the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with
this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby is, and all such
information hereafter furnished by the Borrower to the Agent or any Bank will
be, true and accurate,


                                     -50-
<PAGE>
 
taken as a whole, in all material respects on the date as of which such
information is stated or certified.  The Borrower has disclosed to the Banks in
writing any and all facts which materially and adversely affect or may so affect
(to the extent the Borrower can now reasonably foresee) the business,
operations, properties, assets or financial condition of the Borrower and its
Consolidated Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the value of any Mortgaged
Property, or the ability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor or the
Property Manager or the REIT Manager to perform its obligations under any Loan
Document.

          SECTION 4.13.  Subsidiary Guarantor Representations True.  All of the
representations and warranties of the Subsidiary Guarantors in the Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects.

          SECTION 4.14.  Senior Debt.  The obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty, including the guarantee of all
principal, interest, fees and other amounts payable pursuant to any Loan
Document, constitute "Senior Debt" for all purposes of the Permitted
Intercompany Debt issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor.  No Subsidiary Guarantor
has any other "Senior Debt" outstanding.

          SECTION 4.15.  Relationship of Borrower and Its Affiliates.  The
Borrower is an Affiliate of Group and is controlled by Group.  At the date

beneficially by Group.  Each of the Property Manager and the REIT Manager is an
Affiliate of Group and is controlled by Group.

are no material leasing, asset management, property management or advisory
contracts in connection with the Mortgaged Property other than the Property
Management Contract and the REIT Management Contract.  All contracts in
connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property (other than the Property
Management Contract, the REIT Management Contract and the Investor Agreement
between Group and the Borrower) are (i) to the Borrower's knowledge, market rate
contracts with third parties on customary terms for similar contracts and (ii)
in each case (except for contracts set forth on Schedule 4.16) terminable by the
Borrower on no more than 30 days' notice.

intends to elect treatment with the filing of its tax return for 1994, as a
"real estate investment trust" for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code (a
"REIT"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors that are
considered to be partnerships for Federal tax purposes) qualifies as a
"qualified REIT subsidiary" under sections 856-859 of the Internal Revenue Code,
and assuming the Borrower were a REIT as of the date hereof, each Subsidiary
Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors that are considered to be
partnerships for Federal tax purposes) would be treated as a "qualified REIT
subsidiary" as of the date hereof.

          SECTION 4.18. No Plan Assets. The Borrower does not hold "plan assets"
within the meaning of Section 2510.3-101 of the Regulations of the Department of
Labor.

          SECTION 4.19. Subsidiary Debt. No Subsidiary has any Debt outstanding

outstanding principal amount of the Loans does not exceed the amount of the
Total Available Commitments, (y) no Default has occurred and is continuing and
(z) the representations and warranties of the Borrower and the Subsidiary
Guarantors contained in this Agreement and any other Loan Document (except (i)
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.04(c) and Section 4.05
as to any matter which has theretofore been disclosed in writing by the Borrower
to the Banks, (ii) the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.16 to
the extent such contracts are otherwise permitted by this Agreement and (iii)
the representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.07 to the extent a breach
thereof would by virtue of the proviso to Section 6.01(c) not give rise to an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.24) are true in all material respects on
and as of such day.

full force and effect, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect, their respective corporate or
partnership existence and their respective rights, privileges and franchises
necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business and (y) except to the
extent that a failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect, cause

partnership existence and their respective rights, privileges and franchises
necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business; provided that nothing
in this Section 5.04 shall prohibit (i) the merger of a Subsidiary other than a

account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all dealings

abstracts from any of their respective books and records and to discuss their
respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers,
employees and independent public accountants, all at such reasonable times, upon
reasonable prior notice and as often as may reasonably be desired.

          SECTION 5.07. Minimum Consolidated Tangible Net Worth. Consolidated
Tangible Net Worth will at no time be less than $325,000,000.

          SECTION 5.08. Property Cash Flow Coverage. The ratio of Property Cash

consecutive months commencing with the twelve month period ending June 30, 1996,

                                     -59-
<PAGE>
 
20% of the Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower, and

          (v) any Investment not otherwise permitted by the foregoing clauses of
this Section if, immediately after such Investment is made or acquired, the
aggregate net book value of all Investments permitted by this clause (v) does
not exceed 10% of Consolidated Tangible Net Worth.

          SECTION 5.12. Restricted Payments. The Borrower will not declare or
make any Restricted Payment during any of its fiscal quarters which, when added
to all Restricted Payments made during the three immediately preceding fiscal
quarters, exceeds 95% of the Funds From Operations during its four fiscal
quarters then most recently ended; provided that the foregoing shall not
prohibit the Borrower from making the minimum amount of Restricted Payments
required to be made in order for the Borrower to comply with the provisions of
Section 5.22. Notwithstanding anything contained to the contrary in this Section
5.12, the Borrower may declare or make Restricted Payments during the fiscal
quarter in which the Borrower shall contribute the Homestead Assets to
Homestead, which Restricted Payments shall consist of a portion of the Homestead
Investment consisting of common stock and/or warrants with respect to Homestead
received by the Borrower in connection with such contributions. Notwithstanding
anything contained to the contrary in this Section 5.12, the Borrower may
declare or make Restricted Payments during the fiscal quarters ending September
30, 1997 which, when added to all Restricted Payments made during the three
immediately preceding fiscal quarters, do not exceed 97% of the Funds From
Operations during its four fiscal quarters then most recently ended. Such
provision shall apply only with respect to Restricted Payments made on or before
September 30, 1997 and shall have no effect with respect to the provisions of
this Section 5.12 as to any Restricted Payments made from and after October 1,
1997. For purposes of this provision "Restricted Payment" means (i) any dividend
or other distribution on any shares of the Borrower's capital stock (except
dividends payable solely in shares of its capital stock or in rights to
subscribe for or purchase shares of its capital stock) or (ii) any payment on
account of the purchase, redemption, retirement or acquisition of (a) any shares
of the Borrower's capital stock or (b) any option, warrant or other right to
acquire shares of the Borrower's capital stock, and "Funds From Operations"
means the sum of Property Cash Flow (to which shall be added any Consolidated
Capital Expenditures otherwise subtracted by definition, as well

                                     -60-
<PAGE>
 
as income from Temporary Cash Investments, minus Consolidated Interest Expense,
but specifically adding back loan amortization payments otherwise subtracted by
definition).

          SECTION 5.13.  [Intentionally Omitted.]

          SECTION 5.14. Consolidations, Mergers and Sales of Assets. The
Borrower will not (i) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or (ii)
sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any
substantial part of the assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, to any other Person. The Borrower will not permit any of its Subsidiary
Guarantors to (i) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person or (ii)
sell, lease or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any
substantial part of such Subsidiary Guarantor's assets to any other Person,
except as permitted by the proviso to Section 5.04. Notwithstanding anything
contained to the contrary in this Section 5.14, the Borrower may and may permit
the applicable Subsidiary Guarantors to, contribute or fund approximately $158.6
million in exchange for the Homestead Investment. Of such amount, it is expected
that Borrower will (i) contribute approximately $29 million in real property
assets to Homestead at the closing of the Homestead transaction (the "Homestead
Closing"), (ii) fund approximately $18.6 million to Homestead in return for
common stock of Homestead ("Equity Funding") at the Homestead Closing and (iii)
fund approximately $111 million in the form of convertible mortgage loans to
Homestead ("Mortgage Funding") over time. To the extent that Borrower
contributes additional real property assets to Homestead at the Homestead
Closing, Borrower's obligation to make the Equity Funding and the Mortgage
Funding will be reduced dollar for dollar, with the Equity Funding being reduced
first.

          SECTION 5.15. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans made under
this Agreement will be used by the Borrower to prepay all outstanding Debt owed
to Group or any wholly-owned subsidiary thereof, and to acquire and develop
parcels of real property improved or to be improved by income-producing
multifamily buildings, to refinance the acquisition costs thereof, and for the
Equity Funding and the Mortgage Funding, or for general corporate purposes. None
of such proceeds will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether
immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying any "margin stock"
within the meaning of Regulation U.

<PAGE>
 
          SECTION 5.16. Maintenance of Ownership of Subsidiary Guarantors;
Performance of Subsidiary Guarantor Obligations. The Borrower will not sell or
otherwise dispose of, or permit NCLP or NCGP to sell or otherwise dispose of,
any Equity Interest of any Subsidiary Guarantor or permit any Subsidiary
Guarantor to issue any new Equity Interest. The Borrower will cause each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors to perform fully and promptly each of their obligations
under any Loan Document.

          SECTION 5.17. No Change in Partnership Agreement; Sole General Partner
and Limited Partner. The Borrower will cause the Partnership Agreement not to be
amended, modified or rescinded in any material respect and will cause NCGP to
remain the sole general partner, NCLP to remain the sole limited partner, of NC
Sub. All immaterial changes to the Partnership Agreement that are permitted
hereunder shall require the prior written consent of the Agent which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Copies of all such changes shall
be delivered promptly by the Borrower to each Bank.

          SECTION 5.18. Maintenance of Subsidiary Guarantors as Special Purpose
Entities. The Borrower will not permit (a) NC Sub, SC Sub or Alabama Sub to hold
any assets other than the Mortgaged Property and ancillary property reasonably
required in the operation thereof, (b) NCGP and NCLP to hold any assets except
for their general partnership interests and limited partnership interests,
respectively, in NC Sub, and the Permitted Intercompany Debt issued to each of
NCGP and NCLP by NC Sub, (c) NCGP and NCLP to have any liabilities other than
those resulting from the Loan Documents and Permitted Intercompany Debt issued
by each of them to the Borrower, or Liens other than those created by the Loan
Documents and (d) NC Sub, SC Sub or Alabama Sub to have any liabilities other
than those customarily incurred in connection with the operation of the type of
property constituted by the Mortgaged Property, liabilities resulting from the
Loan Documents and Permitted Intercompany Debt, or Liens other than those
created by the Loan Documents or, with respect to their respective Mortgaged
Property, Permitted Exceptions.

          SECTION 5.19. Restriction on Intercompany Debt; Subordination. The
Borrower (x) will cause each of NCGP, NCLP, NC Sub, SC Sub not to, and (y) as
lender to Homestead will not, modify or waive in any manner the terms of the
Permitted Intercompany Debt, and will cause each of NLGP, NCLP, NC Sub, SC Sub
to comply with the terms of the subordination provisions thereof. The Borrower
will not, and will not permit NCGP or NCLP to,

                                     -62-
<PAGE>
 
sell, transfer, assign or pledge any Permitted Intercompany Debt of which it is
the obligee except pursuant to the Borrower Pledge Agreement or the NC Pledge
Agreement, respectively.

          SECTION 5.20. Affiliate Transactions. The Borrower will not, and will
not permit any of its Subsidiary Guarantors to, enter into any transaction with
or make any payment to any Affiliates of the Borrower or of any Subsidiary
Guarantor or any Affiliates thereof, other than the Property Management
Contract, the REIT Management Contract, the Investor Agreement between Group and
the Borrower or Permitted Intercompany Debt or any payments made in accordance
therewith or dividends on shares of capital stock to the extent not prohibited
hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor
may enter into transactions with Affiliates (other than purchases or sales of
real property, loan transactions or transactions for services provided pursuant
to the Property Management Contract) which involve (i) underwriting or placement
agent agreements as to which no amounts are payable by the Borrower other than
expenses payable to third parties or indemnity obligations, in each case not
less favorable to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor than those which are
generally available in the market, (ii) stock purchase, option or warrant
agreements in which the Borrower is selling or agreeing to sell Equity Interests
thereunder, (iii) collective insurance agreements, (iv) the contemplated
transaction with Homestead, including, without limitation, the contribution of
assets to Homestead, the Equity Funding, the Mortgage Funding, and the receipt
of the Homestead Investment, or (v) any other contract as to which the Borrower
gives the Agent 30 days prior notice of the terms thereof and, in the reasonable
judgment of the Required Banks, such terms are not less favorable to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor than those which are generally available in
the market. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may enter
into (i) temporary or bridge loan transactions with Group or any wholly-owned
subsidiary thereof, which loans shall be unsecured and subordinate (on the same
terms and conditions as set forth in clauses (A) and (B) of the definition of
"Permitted Intercompany Debt") to any and all Loans made by any Bank and
terminable upon thirty (30) days' notice and (ii) any and all transactions with
or through Atlantic Development Services Incorporated which are permitted by,
and in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement. No such transaction with or
through Atlantic Development Services Incorporated ("ADS") shall be permitted,
unless (i) all loans or advances to ADS are secured by first priority liens and
security interests

                                     -63-
<PAGE>
 
(subject only to prior liens and security interests securing performance
guaranties granted in the ordinary course of ADS' business) in real properties
developed or acquired by ADS, (ii) the Borrower shall, at all times,
beneficially own at least ninety percent (90%) of the economic interests in ADS,
and (iii) the financial condition and results of operation of ADS shall be
consolidated with those of the Borrower for purposes of the financial
statements.

          SECTION 5.21.  Contracts.  The Borrower will not, and will cause the
Subsidiary Guarantors not to, modify the Property Management Contract or the
REIT Management Contract in any manner that (i) increases fees payable
thereunder (except, in the case of the Property Management Agreement, increases
consistent with market rates), (ii) adversely affects the Borrower's termination
rights or (iii) reduces the duties of the REIT Manager or the Property Manager.

          SECTION 5.22.  Real Estate Investment Trust.  At all times prior to
electing treatment as a REIT, the Borrower (including without limitation its
organization and method of operations and those of its subsidiaries) will
satisfy the conditions specified in Sections 856 through 859 of the Internal
Revenue Code in order to elect treatment as a REIT.  Borrower will timely elect
treatment as a REIT for the tax year 1994 and will for each tax year thereafter
continue to qualify as, and maintain its election under Section 856(c)(1) of the
Internal Revenue Code to be a REIT.  At all times prior to electing treatment as
a REIT, the Borrower will take all action that is necessary for each Subsidiary
Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors that are considered to be
partnerships for Federal tax purposes) to qualify as a "qualified REIT
subsidiary" under sections 856-859 of the Internal Revenue Code, and will avoid
all action that is inconsistent with such continued qualification.  Borrower
will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor (other than Subsidiary Guarantors that are
considered to be partnerships for Federal tax purposes) to qualify as a
"qualified REIT subsidiary" under sections 856-859 of the Internal Revenue Code
for each tax year commencing with the tax year 1994.

          SECTION 5.23.  No Plan Assets.  The Borrower will at no time hold
"plan assets" within the meaning of Section 2510.3-101 of the Regulations of the
Department of Labor.

          SECTION 5.24.  Environmental Matters.  At its sole cost and expense,
the Borrower will comply with, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor (and
with respect to any and all activities relating to the Mortgaged Property, the
Property Manager and the REIT Manager) to comply with, all Environmental Laws,
except to the extent non-compliance would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower will not, and
will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Property Manager and the REIT Manager
not to, use, store, discharge, install or transport on any Mortgaged Property,
or permit to be used, stored, discharged, installed or transported on any
Mortgaged Property, any Hazardous Substances other than Hazardous Substances of
such types and in such quantities as are customarily used or stored in or at
comparable, prudently-managed multifamily buildings.  Furthermore, the Borrower
will (i) immediately commence any and all remedial action needed according to
the environmental reports delivered to the Agent pursuant to Section
3.01(a)(xvii), (ii) diligently pursue such action to completion and (iii)
promptly deliver to the Agent notice of initiation as well as notice of
completion of such action.

          SECTION 5.25.  Limitations on Subsidiary Debt.  The Borrower will not
permit any Subsidiary to have or incur any Debt (other than the Subsidiary
Guaranties) other than (i) Debt incurred or assumed for the purpose of financing
all or any part of the cost of acquiring or developing an asset, provided that
the amount of Debt so incurred or assumed does not exceed the acquisition or
development cost of such asset, (ii) Debt consisting, or in respect, of existing
tax-exempt bonds, (iii) Debt the sole obligee of which is the Borrower and (iv)
Permitted Intercompany Debt.

          SECTION 5.26.  Investments in Unimproved Real Property.  The aggregate
amount of the investments of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in
unimproved real property, excluding real property which is being developed or
will be developed within a reasonable period, will at no time exceed 10% of the
total assets of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries.

                                   DEFAULTS


          SECTION 6.01.  Events of Default.  If one or more of the following
events ("Events of Default") shall have occurred and be continuing:

          (a)  (i) the Borrower shall fail to pay when due any principal of or
interest on any Loan, or (ii) shall fail to pay for five (5) Business Days after
written notice thereof has been given to the Borrower by the Agent, any fees or
any other amount payable hereunder;

          (b)  the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform any covenant
contained in Section 5.07, 5.08, 5.10, 5.12-5.16, 5.18, 5.19, 5.22, 5.23 and
5.25, inclusive;

          (c)  the Borrower shall fail to observe or perform the covenant
contained in Section 5.09, 5.11, 5.17, 5.20, 5.21 or 5.24 for five (5) days
after the Borrower shall have knowledge thereof; or the Borrower shall fail to
observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
(other than those covered by clause (a) or (b) above) or the Borrower or any
Subsidiary Guarantor shall fail to perform any covenant or agreement contained
in any other Loan Document to which it is a party for 30 days (or such shorter
period as may be provided for therein) after written notice thereof has been
given to the Borrower by the Agent at the request of any Bank; provided,
however, that, in the event a Default hereunder arises due to a breach of the
covenant contained in Section 5.24, which breach is caused by non-compliance
with Environmental Laws affecting a Property (the "Contaminated Property") due
solely to the action or inaction of one or more third parties, then the Borrower
shall have up to sixty (60) days to (i) cure such breach (the "Cure Period") and
(ii) provide the Agent with a report of an environmental consultant, reasonably
acceptable to the Required Banks, which report demonstrates to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Required Banks that such breach has been cured and that the
Contaminated Property is in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws
(satisfaction of (i) and (ii) collectively a "Cure").  During such Cure Period,
the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Value shall automatically be reduced by the
Individual Mortgaged Property Value of the Contaminated Property and Borrower
shall, within five (5) days of the beginning of the Cure Period, prepay any
amounts required to be prepaid pursuant to Section 2.09.  In the



                                     -66-
<PAGE>
 
event the breach of Section 5.24 shall have been Cured prior to the end of the
Cure Period, such reduction in the Aggregate Mortgaged Property Value shall
automatically terminate.  In the event the breach of Section 5.24 shall not have
been Cured by the end of the Cure Period, and the Contaminated Property shall
not have been released pursuant to Section 9.08 or Section 9.09, then such
breach shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder;

          (d)  any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor in any Loan Document or in any
certificate, financial statement or other document delivered pursuant to any
Loan Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when
made (or deemed made);

          (e)  the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall fail to make any payment in
respect of any Material Debt when due or within any applicable grace period;

          (f)  any event or condition shall occur which results in the
acceleration of the maturity of any Material Debt or enables (or, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would enable) the holder of such Debt
or any Person acting on such holder's behalf to accelerate the maturity thereof;

          (g)  the Borrower or any Subsidiary shall commence a voluntary case or
other proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or other relief with
respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee,
receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any
substantial part of its property, or shall consent to any such relief or to the
appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case
or other proceeding commenced against it, or shall make a general assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or shall fail generally to pay its debts as they
become due, or shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the
foregoing;

          (h)  an involuntary case or other proceeding shall be commenced
against the Borrower or any Subsidiary seeking liquidation, reorganization or
other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any
substantial part of its property, and such involuntary



                                     -67-

case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of
90 days; or an order for relief shall be entered against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

          (i)  any member of the ERISA Group shall fail to pay when due an
amount or amounts aggregating in excess of $5,000,000 which it shall have become
liable to pay under Title IV of ERISA; or notice of intent to terminate a
Material Plan shall be filed under Title IV of ERISA by any member of the ERISA
Group, any plan administrator or any combination of the foregoing; or the PBGC
shall institute proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate, to impose
liability (other than for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA) in respect of,
or to cause a trustee to be appointed to administer any Material Plan; or a
condition shall exist by reason of which the PBGC would be entitled to obtain a
decree adjudicating that any Material Plan must be terminated; or there shall
occur a complete or partial withdrawal from, or a default, within the meaning of
Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA, with respect to, one or more Multiemployer Plans
which could cause one or more members of the ERISA Group to incur a current
payment obligation in excess of $5,000,000;

          (j)  a judgment or order for the payment of money in excess of
$5,000,000 shall be rendered against the Borrower or any Subsidiary and such
judgment or order shall continue unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of 30
days;

          (k)  (i) the Borrower is no longer an Affiliate of Group, is no longer
controlled by Group, or Group no longer owns beneficially, and either of record

such class then owned beneficially by Group minus 10%; or, during any period of
24 consecutive calendar months prior to the date of the consummation of the
Borrower's initial public offering of any of the Borrower's Equity Interests
registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, individuals who were

powers and privileges purported to be created thereby including, without
limitation, a first perfected security interest in, and Lien on, all of the
Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof, prior to all other Liens; then,
and in every such event, the Agent shall (i) if requested by Banks having more
than 50% in aggregate amount of the Commitments, by notice to the Borrower
terminate the Commitments and they shall thereupon terminate, or (ii) if
requested by Banks holding Notes evidencing more than 50% in aggregate principal
amount of the Loans, by notice to the Borrower declare the Notes (together with
accrued interest thereon) to be, and the Notes shall thereupon become,
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice
of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that in
the case of any of the Events of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) above
with respect to the Borrower, without any notice to the Borrower or any other
act by the Agent or the Banks, the Commitments shall thereupon terminate and the
Notes (together with accrued interest thereon) shall become immediately due and
payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby waived by the Borrower.

          SECTION 6.02.  Notice of Default.  The Agent shall give notice to the
Borrower under Section 6.01(c) promptly upon being requested to do so by any
Bank and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                                   THE AGENT


          SECTION 7.01.  Appointment and Authorization.  Each Bank irrevocably
appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

          SECTION 7.02.  Agent and Affiliates.  Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of
New York shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other
Bank and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not
the Agent, and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York and its affiliates may
accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if
it were not the Agent hereunder.

          SECTION 7.03.  Action by Agent.  The obligations of the Agent
hereunder are only those expressly set forth herein.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not be required to take any action
with respect to any Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI.

          SECTION 7.04.  Consultation with Experts.  The Agent may consult with
legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

          SECTION 7.05.  Liability of Agent.  Neither the Agent nor any of its
affiliates nor any of their respective directors, officers, agents or employees
shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in connection herewith
(i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Banks or of a lesser
number of Banks requesting action pursuant to Section 6.01 or (ii) in the

                                     -70-
<PAGE>
 
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Neither the Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for
or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any statement,
warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any
borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants
or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified
in Article III, except receipt of items required to be delivered to the Agent;
or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the Notes,
any other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in
connection herewith or therewith.  The Agent shall not incur any liability by
acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other
writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to
be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 7.06.  Indemnification.  Each Bank shall, ratably in
accordance with its Commitment, indemnify the Agent, its affiliates and their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including counsel fees
and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as
result from such indemnitees' gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such
indemnitees may suffer or incur in connection with this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitees hereunder or
thereunder.

          SECTION 7.07.  Credit Decision.  Each Bank acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Bank, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Bank also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or
any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem
appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or
not taking any action under this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.08.  Successor Agent.  The Agent may resign at any time by
giving notice thereof to the Banks and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation,
the Required Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which
successor Agent, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, shall be subject to approval by the Borrower, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor

                                     -71-
<PAGE>
 
Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice
of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Agent.  The Agent, whether appointed by the Required Banks or by the
retiring Agent, shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws
of the United States of America or of any State thereof and having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the
retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder.  After any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as
Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.  In addition, if
Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("Morgan"), as Agent, shall at any
time hold Commitments equal to less than $25,000,000 in the aggregate, it shall
promptly notify the Banks and the Borrower thereof and shall offer to resign as
Agent.  If such offer shall be accepted by the Required Banks (for this purpose
only, Morgan shall be deemed to have accepted its own offer to resign), a
successor Agent shall be appointed in accordance with this Section 7.08.

          SECTION 7.09.  Agent's Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for
its own account fees in the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon
between the Borrower and the Agent.


                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES


          SECTION 8.01.  Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or
Unfair.  If on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Fixed
Rate Borrowing:

          (a)  the Agent is advised by the Reference Banks that deposits in
dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Banks
in the relevant market for such Interest Period, or

          (b)  Banks having 50% or more of the aggregate amount of the
Commitments advise the Agent that the Adjusted CD Rate or the Adjusted London
Interbank Offered Rate, as the case may be, as determined by the Agent will

                                     -72-
<PAGE>
 
not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Banks of funding their CD
Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, for such Interest Period, the
Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks,
whereupon until the Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, (i) the obligations of the Banks to
make CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, or to convert
outstanding Loans into CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, shall
be suspended and (ii) each outstanding CD Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan, as the case
may be, shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable thereto. Unless the Borrower notifies the
Agent at least two Domestic Business Days before the date of any Fixed Rate
Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it
elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a
Base Rate Borrowing.

          SECTION 8.02.  Illegality.  If, on or after the date of this
Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change
in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation
or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or
comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any
Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund its Euro-
Dollar Loans and such Bank shall so notify the Agent, the Agent shall forthwith
give notice thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such
Bank notifies the Borrower and the Agent that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar
Loans, or to convert outstanding Loans into Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be
suspended.  Before giving any notice to the Agent pursuant to this Section, such
Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation
will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  If such notice is given, each
Euro-Dollar Loan of such Bank then outstanding shall be converted to a Base Rate
Loan either (a) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable
to such Euro-Dollar Loan if such Bank may lawfully continue to maintain and fund
such Loan to such day or (b) immediate-

                                     -73-
<PAGE>
 
ly if such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain
and fund such Loan to such day.

          SECTION 8.03.  Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

          (a)  If, on or after the date hereof, the adoption of any applicable
law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or
regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its
Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation,
any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, but excluding (i) with respect to any CD Loan any such requirement
included in an applicable Domestic Reserve Percentage and (ii) with respect to
any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement included in an applicable Euro-Dollar
Reserve Percentage), special deposit, insurance assessment (excluding, with
respect to any CD Loan, any such requirement reflected in an applicable
Assessment Rate) or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the
United States market for certificates of deposit or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting its Fixed Rate Loans, its Note or its obligation
to make Fixed Rate Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase
the cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or
maintaining any Fixed Rate Loan, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) under this Agreement
or under its Note with respect thereto, by an amount deemed by such Bank to be
material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the
Agent), and provided such Bank is generally exercising rights similar to those
set forth in this Section 8.03 (a) against other borrowers similarly situated to
the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction.

          (b)  If any Bank shall have determined that, after the date hereof,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change in any such law, rule or regulation, or any

                                     -74-
<PAGE>
 
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank's
obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent)
could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive (taking
into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after
demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Agent), and provided such Bank is
generally exercising rights similar to those set forth in this Section 8.03(b)
against other borrowers similarly situated to the Borrower, the Borrower shall
pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank
(or its Parent) for such reduction.

          (c)  Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent of any
event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will
entitle such Bank to compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a
different Applicable Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for,
or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the judgment of such
Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.  A certificate of any Bank
claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth the additional amount
or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be prima facie evidence of the
matters certified therein.  In determining such amount, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

          SECTION 8.04.  Taxes.

          (a)  Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any
Bank or the Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank and the Agent, taxes imposed on its
income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of
which such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political
subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed on its income,
and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank's

                                     -75-
<PAGE>
 
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-
excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes").  If the Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note to any Bank or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall
be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
8.04) such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to
the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in
accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish to the Agent,
at its address referred to in Section 9.01, the original or a certified copy of
a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (b)  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future
stamp or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or
similar levies, including without limitation documentary, intangibles,
recording, mortgage recording and transfer taxes, which arise from any extension
of credit hereunder, any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the
execution or delivery or performance of, or the exercise of remedies under, or
otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document
(hereinafter referred to as "Other Taxes").

          (c)  The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Agent for the
full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under
this Section 8.04) paid by such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) and any
liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 15 days from the
date such Bank or the Agent (as the case may be) makes demand therefor.

          (d)  Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the
United States, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this
Agreement in the case of each Bank listed on the signature pages hereof and on
or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of each other Bank,
and from time to time thereafter if requested in writing by the Borrower (but
only so long as such Bank remains lawfully able to do so), shall provide the
Borrower with Internal Revenue

                                     -76-
<PAGE>
 
Service form 1001 or 4224, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Bank is entitled to benefits
under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces
the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the
income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the
conduct of a trade or business in the United States.  If the form provided by a
Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a
United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax
at such rate shall be considered excluded from "Taxes" as defined in Section
8.04(a).

          (e)  For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide
the Borrower with the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.04(d) (unless such
failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation occurring subsequent to
the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Bank
shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.04(a) with respect to
Taxes imposed by the United States; provided that, should a Bank, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become
subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder,
the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to
assist such Bank to recover such Taxes.

          (f)  If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for
the account of any Bank pursuant to this Section 8.04, then such Bank will
change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office so as to eliminate or
reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such change,
in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

          SECTION 8.05.  Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Fixed Rate
Loans.  If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make or maintain Euro-Dollar Loans
has been suspended pursuant to Section 8.02 or (ii) any Bank has demanded
compensation under Section 8.03 or 8.04 with respect to its CD Loans or Euro-
Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Euro-Dollar Business Days'
prior notice to such Bank through the Agent, have elected that the provisions of
this Section shall apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies
the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for
compensation no longer exist:

          (a)  all Loans which would otherwise be made by such Bank as (or
continued as or converted into) CD Loans

                                     -77-
<PAGE>
 
or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may be, shall be Base Rate Loans (on which
interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Fixed
Rate Loans of the other Banks), and

          (b)  after each of its CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans, as the case may
be, has been repaid (or converted into a Base Rate Loan), all payments of
principal which would otherwise be applied to repay such Fixed Rate Loans shall
be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans instead.

          If such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise
to such notice no longer apply, the principal amount of each such Base Rate Loan
shall be converted into a CD Loan or Euro-Dollar Loan, as the case may be, on
the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period applicable to the related
CD Loans or Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks.


                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 MISCELLANEOUS


          SECTION 9.01.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other
communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire,
telex, facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given to such
party:  (x) in the case of the Borrower or the Agent, at its address or telex
number set forth on the signature pages hereof, (y) in the case of any Bank, at
its address or telex number set forth in its Administrative Questionnaire or (z)
in the case of any party, such other address or telex number as such party may
hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the Agent and the Borrower.  Each
such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by
telex, when such telex is transmitted to the telex number specified in this
Section and the appropriate answer back is received, (ii) if given by mail, 72
hours after such communication is deposited in the mails with first class
postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means,
when delivered at the address specified in this Section; provided that notices
to the Agent under Article II or Article VIII shall not be effective until
received.

          SECTION 9.02.  No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Agent or any
Bank in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any Note, and no
course of dealing with respect thereto, shall operate as a waiver thereof nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any

                                     -78-
<PAGE>
 
right or remedy hereunder or under any Note or under any other Loan Document
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or remedy.  The rights and remedies provided herein, under any Note or in
any other Loan Document are cumulative and may be exercised independently or
concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by
law.

          SECTION 9.03.  Expenses; Indemnification.

          (a)  The Borrower shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the
Agent, including reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel and local
counsel for the Agent, in connection with the preparation and administration of
this Agreement and each other Loan Document, any waiver or consent hereunder or
thereunder or any amendment hereof or thereof or any Default or alleged Default
hereunder, (ii) all appraisal fees, recording and filing fees, taxes, brokerage
fees and commissions, abstract fees, title insurance premiums and fees, Uniform
Commercial Code and other search fees, escrow fees, environmental report fees,
engineering report fees, and all other costs and expenses of every character
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, filing,
recordation or performance of any Loan Document and (iii) if an Event of Default
occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Agent and each Bank,
including fees and disbursements of counsel, in connection with such Event of
Default, and collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement
proceedings resulting therefrom.

          (b)  The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Bank, their
respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and
employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee
harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection
with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not
such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened
relating to or arising out of (i) this Agreement or any Loan Document or any
actual or proposed use of proceeds of Loans hereunder, (ii) any violation by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or the Property Manager or the REIT Manager of any
applicable Environmental Law or other law, (iii) any Environmental Claim or
other claim arising out of the management, use, control, ownership or operation
of property or assets by the Borrower or any Subsidiary

                                     -79-
<PAGE>
 
or the Property Manager or the REIT Manager, including, without limitation, all
on-site and off-site activities involving Hazardous Substances, (iv) the breach
of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein or in any Loan
Document, (v) the grant to the Agent of any Lien on any property or assets of
the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or (vi) the exercise by the Agent and
the Banks of their rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
foreclosure) under any agreement creating any such Lien, provided that no
Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such
Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.04.  Sharing of Set-Offs.  Each Bank agrees that if it
shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due
with respect to any Note held by it which is greater than the proportion
received by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and
interest due with respect to any Note held by such other Bank, the Bank
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments
shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and
interest with respect to the Notes held by the Banks shall be shared by the
Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of
any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to
apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the
Borrower other than its indebtedness under the Notes.  The Borrower agrees, to
the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the
foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a
participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such
participation.  If any Rejecting Bank shall be repaid pursuant to Section
2.01(d), then, from and after the Conversion Date, the provisions of this
Section 9.04 shall not apply as to such Rejecting Bank.

          SECTION 9.05.  Amendments and Waivers.  Except as expressly provided
in any other Loan Document, any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or any
other Loan Document may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or
waiver is in writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Required Banks (or by
the Agent after receiving approval therefor from the Required

                                     -80-
<PAGE>
 
Banks) (and, if the rights or duties of the Agent are affected thereby, by the
Agent); provided that no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by all
the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a
ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any
additional obligation (other than any Bank signing such amendment or waiver),
(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees
hereunder, except as provided below, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any
payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for any
reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the aggregate amount by
which or to which the Commitments are required to be reduced on or prior to any
Commitment Reduction Date, (v) change the percentage of the Commitments or of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks,
which shall be required for the Banks or any of them to take any action under
this Section or any other provision of this Agreement or (vi) release any
Collateral except as otherwise provided in Sections 9.08 and 9.09.  In addition,
no such amendment or waiver shall, unless signed by the Swing Lender and each
other Bank affected thereby, increase the Swing Loan Commitment, postpone the
date fixed for the termination of the Swing Loan Commitment or otherwise affect
any of its rights or obligations hereunder relating to the Swing Loan Commitment
or the Swing Loans.

          SECTION 9.06.  Successors and Assigns.

          (a)  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Banks.

          (b)  Any Bank may at any time grant to one or more banks or other
institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in its Commitment on
any or all of its Loans.  In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a
participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the
Borrower and the Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance
of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the Agent shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights
and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Bank
may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Bank shall
retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the
Borrower

                                     -81-
<PAGE>
 
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
participation agreement may provide that such Bank will not agree to any
modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in clause (i),
(ii), (iii), (iv) or (vi) of Section 9.05 without the consent of the
Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent
provided in its participation agreement, be entitled to the benefits of Article
VIII with respect to its participating interest.  An assignment or other
transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given
effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating
interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).

          (c)  Any Bank may at any time assign to one or more banks or other
institutions (each an "Assignee") all, or a proportionate part of all, of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes and the other Loan
Documents, and such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant
to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit B
hereto executed by such Assignee and such transferor Bank, with (and subject to)
the subscribed consent of the Agent and unless an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower, which in each case shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such
transferor Bank, no such consent shall be required; and provided further that if
the Assignee is not an Affiliate of the transferor Bank and not a Bank, the
amount of the Commitment being assigned shall not be less than the lesser of (i)
the entire Commitment of the transferor Bank or (ii) $10,000,000.  Upon
execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such
transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such
transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this
Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and the transferor
Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent,
and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.  Upon the
consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor
Bank, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if
required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee.  In connection with any such
assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Agent an administrative fee for
processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500.  If the Assignee is not
incorporated under the laws of the United

                                     -82-
<PAGE>
 
States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.04.

          (d)  Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights
under this Agreement and its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank.  No such assignment
shall release the transferor Bank from its obligations hereunder.

          (e)  No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank's rights
shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 8.03 or 8.04 than
such Bank would have been entitled to receive with respect to the rights
transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower's prior written
consent (provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or
by reason of the provisions of Section 8.02, 8.03 or 8.04 requiring such Bank to
designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or
at a time when the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not
exist.

          SECTION 9.07.  Collateral.  Each of the Banks represents to the Agent
and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any
"margin stock" (as defined in Regulation U) of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or Affiliate as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the
credit provided for in this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.08  Release of Mortgaged Property.  The Agent acknowledges
that the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor may sell, to any Person who is not
an Affiliate of the Borrower or of any Subsidiary, any parcel of real property
constituting Mortgaged Property from time to time and, in connection therewith,
may request a release from the Lien of the related Mortgage, and the Agent
agrees to provide the Borrower or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, with
any releases and reconveyances from the Lien of the related Mortgage, subject in
each case to the satisfaction by the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, as
applicable, of the following conditions:

          (a) the Borrower shall notify, or cause any Subsidiary Guarantor to
notify, the Agent in writing of the impending sale of any Mortgaged Property and
of the identity of the proposed purchaser not less than 15 days prior to such
impending sale, which notification shall

                                     -83-
<PAGE>
 
serve as a request to the Agent to release such Mortgaged Property from the Lien
of the related Mortgage;

          (b) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be in
Default under any Loan Document at the time of such request or release (other
than a Default specified in the proviso to Section 6.01(c) with respect to a
Contaminated Property);

          (c) the Mortgaged Property to be released shall include the entire
parcel of real property subject to the Lien of the related Mortgage with respect
to which a request for release is being made;

          (d) the Borrower shall pay all expenses and fees incurred by the Agent
in connection with any release;

          (e) immediately prior to such release of Mortgaged Property, the
Borrower shall make all payments that would be required to be made immediately
after such release pursuant to Section 2.09(g) hereof; and

          (f) immediately following such release, the aggregate of the
Individual Mortgaged Property Values of the Mortgaged Property subject to the
Subsidiary Mortgages shall not be greater than 35% of the Aggregate Mortgaged
Property Value.

          SECTION 9.09.  Substitution of Mortgaged Property.  The Agent
acknowledges that NC Sub may sell at any time, to any Person who is not an
Affiliate of the Borrower or of any Subsidiary, one, but only one, parcel of
real property constituting Mortgaged Property and, in connection therewith, may
request a release from the Lien of the related Mortgage, and the Agent agrees to
provide NC Sub with any release and reconveyance from the Lien of the related
Mortgage, subject to the satisfaction by NC Sub of the following conditions:

          (a) the Borrower shall cause NC Sub to notify the Agent in writing of
the impending sale of such Mortgaged Property and of the identity of the
proposed purchaser not less than 15 days prior to such impending sale, which
notification shall serve as a request to the Agent to release such Mortgaged
Property from the Lien of the related Mortgage;

          (b) neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be in
Default under any Loan Document at the time of such request or release;

                                     -84-
<PAGE>
 
          (c) the Mortgaged Property to be released shall include the entire
parcel of real property subject to the Lien of the related Mortgage with respect
to which a request for release is being made;

          (d) the Borrower shall pay all expenses and fees incurred by the Agent
in connection with such release;

          (e) one or two new properties with an (aggregate, if two) Individual
Mortgaged Property Value and Property Cash Flow for the past twelve months at
least equal to or greater than the Individual Mortgaged Property Value and
Property Cash Flow of the property to be released shall become subject to the
Borrower Mortgage; and

          (f) each of the Banks shall have approved the new property that is to
become subject to the Borrower Mortgage, which property shall be improved by
unencumbered income-producing multifamily buildings, and each of the conditions
in Section 3.01(b) shall have been met with respect to such new property as if
the new property were being subjected to the Borrower Mortgage on the Subsequent
Closing Date.

          SECTION 9.10.  Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.  This
Agreement and each Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.  The Borrower hereby submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York and of any New York State court sitting in New York City
for purposes of all legal proceedings arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Borrower irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such proceeding brought in
such a court and any claim that any such proceeding brought in such a court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

          SECTION 9.11.  Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This
Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon
the same instrument.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter
hereof.  This Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Agent of
counter-


                                     -85-
<PAGE>
 
parts hereof signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party
as to which an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the
Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written
confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such
party).

          SECTION 9.12.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT
AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

          SECTION 9.13.  Survival.  All indemnities set forth herein shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
Commitments hereunder.

          SECTION 9.14.  Further Assurances.  At any time or from time to time
upon the request of the Agent, the Borrower will, and will cause the Subsidiary
Guarantors to, at its expense, promptly execute, acknowledge, and deliver such
further documents and do such other acts and things as shall be necessary or
advisable, in the Agent's discretion, in order to effect fully the purposes of
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower will pay all
fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by the Agent in
connection therewith.

          SECTION 9.15.  Right to New Appraisals.  On or after May 15, 1996, and
from time to time thereafter (but, in the case of any Mortgaged Property, not
sooner than two (2) years from the date of any prior appraisal thereof) the
Agent shall at the request of any Bank and at the expense of the Borrower
conduct a new appraisal of any or all of the Mortgaged Property.

          SECTION 9.16.  Confidentiality; Disclosure of Information.  Each party
hereto shall treat the transactions contemplated hereby and all financial and
other information furnished to it about the Banks, the Borrower, any Subsidiary
or any of the Mortgaged Property, as applicable, as confidential; provided,
however, that such confidential information may be disclosed (a) as required by
law or pursuant to generally accepted accounting procedures, (b) to officers,
directors, employees, agents, partners, attorneys, accountants, engineers and
other consultants of the parties hereto who need to know such information,
provided such Persons are instructed to treat such information confidentially,
or (c) by any Bank



                                     -86-
<PAGE>
 
to any Participant or Assignee or any prospective transferee (provided such
prospective transferee agrees to treat such information confidentially), which
disclosure to prospective transferees may include any and all information which
has been delivered to such Bank by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents or which has been delivered to such Bank in connection
with such Bank's credit evaluation of the Borrower prior to entering into this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.16 shall not apply to
any Bank so long as any Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan
Documents shall have occurred and be continuing and, in any such event, such
Bank shall be entitled to disclose any information furnished to it in connection
with this Agreement as it deems necessary or appropriate in its sole and
absolute discretion.

          SECTION 9.17  Outstanding Amounts.  The Borrower hereby represents and
warrants that as of the day immediately preceding the Current Closing Date, (i)
the aggregate outstanding balance of the Loans under the Original Credit
Agreement is $194,000,000, and (ii) from the Initial Closing Date through the
day immediately preceding the Current Closing Date, $247,000,000 in the
aggregate (determined on a cumulative basis) has been borrowed under the
Original Credit Agreement.  The Borrower hereby agrees that it will not at any
time take any position contrary to one that the conversion and/or continuation
of Euro-Dollar Loans and Domestic Loans are not, and shall not be deemed to be,
the making of a new Loan.



                                     -87-

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to

                                      as of June __, 1996


     For value received, SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED, a Maryland
corporation (the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of _________________
(the "Bank"), for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, the unpaid
principal amount of each Loan made by the Bank to the Borrower pursuant to the
Credit Agreement referred to below on the maturity date provided for in the
Credit Agreement.  The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of each such Loan on the dates and at the rate or rates provided for in
the Credit Agreement.  All such payments of principal and interest shall be made
in lawful money of the United States in Federal or other immediately available
funds at the office of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York, 60 Wall

     All Loans made by the Bank, the respective types and maturities thereof and

enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement, or
the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant

shall be without recourse to Assignor.

     3.   The Purchasing Bank (i) confirms that it has received a copy of the
Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, together with such financial

any statements made by Assignor or Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; (ii)
agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon any of the Agent,
the Assignor or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it
shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own appraisal of and
investigation into the business, operations, property, prospects, financial and
other conditions and creditworthiness of the Borrower and will make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents; (iii) appoints and

such powers under the Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents as are

incidental thereto; (iv) agrees that it will be bound by and perform in

all necessary corporate and/or partnership action has taken to authorize, and
all approvals and consents have been obtained for, the execution, delivery and
performance thereof; (vii) this Transfer Supplement constitutes its legal, valid
and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms; and (viii) the
interest being assigned hereunder is being acquired by it for its own account,
for investment purposes only and not with a view to the public distribution
thereof and without any present intention of its resale in either case that
would be in violation of applicable securities laws.

     4.   This Transfer Supplement shall be effective on the date (the
"Effective Date") on which all of the following have occurred (i) it shall have
been executed and delivered by the parties hereto, (ii) copies hereof shall have

to the benefits and rights of the Banks thereunder and (ii) the Assignor shall,
to the extent provided in this Transfer Supplement as to the Purchased Interest,
relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit
Agreement.

     6.   From and after the Effective Date, the Assignor shall cause the Agent
to make all payments under the Credit Agreement, and the Notes in respect of the
Purchased Interest assigned hereby (including, without limitation, all payments
of principal, fees and interest with respect thereto and any amounts accrued but

which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

made all payments demanded to date by Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York
("Morgan") as Agent in connection with the Assignor's pro rata share of the
obligation to reimburse the Agent for its expenses. In the event Morgan, as
Agent, shall demand reimbursement for fees and expenses from Purchasing Bank for
any period prior to the Effective Date, Assignor hereby agrees to promptly pay
Morgan, as Agent, such sums directly, subject, however, to Paragraph 12 hereof.

     9.  Assignor will, at the cost of Assignor, and without expense to
Purchasing Bank, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further
acts, deeds conveyances, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and
assurances as Purchasing Bank shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for
the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto
Purchasing Bank the property and rights hereby given, granted, bargained, sold,
aliened, enfeoffed, conveyed, confirmed, assigned and/or intended now or
hereafter so to be, on which Assignor may be or may hereafter become bound to
convey or assign to Purchasing Bank, or for carrying out the intention or
facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing,
registering or recording this Agreement.

     10.  The parties agree that no broker or finder was instrumental in
bringing about this transaction.  Each party shall indemnify, defend the other
and hold the other free and harmless from and against any damages, costs or
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements) suffered by such party arising from claims by any broker or
finder that such broker or finder has dealt with said party in connection with
this transaction.

     11.  Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12 hereof, if, with respect to
the Purchased Interest only,  Assignor shall on or after the Effective Date
receive (a) any cash, note, securities, property, obligations or other
consideration in respect of or relating to the Loan or the Loan Documents or
issued in substitution or replacement of the Loan or the Loan Documents, (b) any
cash or non-cash consideration in any form whatsoever distributed, paid or
issued in any bankruptcy proceeding in connection with the Loan or the Loan
Documents or (c) any other distribution (whether by means of repayment,
redemption, realization of security or otherwise), Assignor shall accept the
same as Purchasing Bank's agent and hold the same in trust on behalf of and for
the benefit of Purchasing Bank, and shall deliver the same forthwith to
Purchasing Bank in the same form received, with the endorsement (without
recourse) of Assignor when necessary or appropriate.  If the Assignor shall fail
to deliver any funds received by it within the same Business Day of receipt,
unless such funds are received by Assignor after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard
Time, then the following business day after receipt, said funds shall accrue
interest at the federal funds interest rate and in addition to promptly
remitting said amount, Assignor shall remit such interest from the date received
to the date such amount is remitted to the Purchasing Bank.

hold harmless the other, each of its directors and each of its officers in
connection with any claim or cause of action based on any matter or claim based
on the acts of either while acting as a Bank under the Credit Agreement.
Promptly after receipt by the indemnified party under this Section of notice of
the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof. If any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and that party notifies the indemnifying
party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to
participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice
delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice
from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after receipt of notice from the
indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred
by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof. In no event
shall the indemnified party settle or consent to a settlement of such cause of
action or claim without the consent of the indemnifying party.

interests of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated (the "Company") and its
shareholders by affording to the Directors who are not officers or employees of
the Company or the REIT Manager or its affiliates an additional opportunity to
participate in the ownership of the Company and to benefit from any appreciation

     3.   ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN. The Plan shall be administered by the
Administrator, who shall, in accordance with the provisions hereof, (i) direct
the preparation of any appropriate documentation, including Share Option
Agreements, to effectuate the grant of Options, (ii) process and supervise the
exercise and termination of Options, (iii) make necessary adjustments to the
Shares because of changes in capitalization of the Company and (iv) perform such
other ministerial acts as are necessary to carry out the purposes of the Plan.

     4.   SHARES SUBJECT TO PLAN. There shall be reserved for use upon exercise
of Options granted under the Plan 200,000 Shares (unless such maximum shall be
increased or decreased by reason of changes in capitalization as provided in
Section 9 hereof). The Shares subject to the Plan may be authorized but unissued
Shares, or may be issued Shares which have been reacquired by the Company.
Shares with respect to which an Option has been exercised shall not again be
available for option hereunder, unless the Option shall expire or terminate for
any reason without having been exercised in full (including Shares which are
surrendered pursuant to Section 5(d)), in which case new Options may be granted
hereunder covering such Shares.

     5.   OPTIONS.

          (a)  Option Grant and Agreement. On such date that a registration
     statement on Form S-11, or other applicable form to register the initial
     public offering of certain Shares of the Company, is declared effective by
     the Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequently on each date of
     the Annual Meeting for the years 1997 through and including 2006, each
     Outside Director on such date (after the election of Directors in the
     Annual Meeting) shall be granted an Option to purchase 2,000 Shares for the
     exercise price and subject to the other provisions described below. Each
     Option granted hereunder shall be evidenced by a written Share Option
     Agreement dated as of the date of grant and executed by the Company and the
     Optionee, which Agreement shall set forth an offer to sell at the Option
     price, the number of Shares subject to the offer, the period of time during
     which the offer shall remain open, and such other terms and provisions that
     are consistent with the Plan.

          (b)  Option Price. The Option price per Share subject to each Option
     shall be the greater of par value or the closing price of the Shares on the
     New York Stock Exchange on the date of the Annual Meeting corresponding to
     the Option grant, as such price is reported in the Wall Street Journal on
     the business day immediately following such date.

          (c)  Option Period. The term of each Option shall be five (5) years.
     Each Option shall be subject to earlier termination as hereinafter
     provided.

          (d)  Share Appreciation Rights Under Certain Circumstances.
               ----------------------------------------------------- 

               (i)    In the event of the acquisition of fifty percent (50%) or
          more of the outstanding Shares as a result of any cash tender offer or
          exchange offer, other than one made by the Company, the Company shall
          give written notice to each Optionee promptly after the date on which
          the corporation, person or other entity making a cash tender offer or
          exchange offer acquires fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding
          Shares. Each Optionee shall thereafter have the right, for a period of
          thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of such notice from the
          Company, to either (i) exercise his or her Option in full, or (ii)
          surrender his or her Option, or the unexercised portion thereof, to
          the Company in exchange for a cash payment to be made by the Company
          to the Optionee within ten (10) days after receipt by the Company of
          the Option in an amount representing the difference between the Option
          price per Share under the Option and the cash price paid per Share in
          the tender offer, or in the event of an exchange offer, the value per
          Share of the securities and/or other property offered in such exchange
          offer.

               (ii)   In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the
          Company, each Option granted under this Plan shall terminate as of
          such dissolution or liquidation date, provided that each Optionee
          shall have the right during the thirty (30) day period prior to such
          date to exercise his or her Option in full. At the end of such period,
          any unexercised Option, or any unexercised portion thereof, shall
          terminate and be of no further effect.

     6.   NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. An Option shall not be transferable
otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and an Option
may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee or
by his or her guardian or legal representative. Any attempted assignment,
transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the Option contrary to
the provisions hereof, or the levy of any execution, attachment or similar
process upon the Option shall be null and void and without effect.

     7.   EXERCISE OF OPTIONS; TERMINATION, DEATH OR DISABILITY. Each exercise
of an Option, or any part thereof, shall be evidenced by a notice in writing to
the Company. The purchase price of the Shares as to which an Option shall be
exercised shall be paid in full in cash or by certified check at the time of
exercise. The holder of an Option shall not have any of the rights of a
shareholder of the Company with respect to the Shares covered by the Option
except to the extent that one or more certificates for such Shares shall have
been delivered to him or her, or he or she has been determined by the Company's
Transfer Agent to be a shareholder of record upon due exercise of the Option. If
the Optionee's position as a Director shall be terminated for any reason other
than death or Disability, the Optionee shall have the right, during the period
ending three months after such termination, to exercise such Option, but in no
event more than five years after the grant of such Option. In the event of the
death or Disability of an Optionee, the Optionee or his or her guardian or legal
representative in the event of Disability, or his or her personal
representatives, heirs, legatees or distributees in the event

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
of his or her death, shall have the right, up to twelve (12) months from the
date of Disability or date of death, as the case may be, to exercise the Option
to the extent that the Option was not exercised (but in any event not more than
five years after the grant of such Option).

     8.   COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES AND OTHER LAWS. In no event shall the
Company be required to sell or issue Shares under any Option if the issuance
thereof would constitute a violation by either the Optionee or the Company of
any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or any
national securities exchange or Article NINTH of the Company's Articles of
Incorporation. As a condition of any sale or issuance of Shares under option,
the Company may place legends on the Shares, issue stop transfer orders and
require such agreements or undertakings from the Optionee as the Company may
deem necessary or advisable to assure compliance with any such law or
regulation, including, if the Company or its counsel deems it appropriate,
representations from the Optionee that he or she is acquiring the Shares solely
for investment and not with a view to distribution and that no distribution of
the Shares acquired by him or her will be made unless registered pursuant to
applicable federal and state securities laws, or in the opinion of counsel of
the Company, such registration is unnecessary.

     9.   ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION. The Option price shall be
adjusted from time to time as follows:

          (a)  Subject to any required action by shareholders, the number of
Shares covered by each outstanding Option, and the Option price, shall be
proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of issued
Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Shares or the payment of
a stock dividend (but only in Shares) or any other increase or decrease in the
number of Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company.

          (b)  Subject to any required action by shareholders, if the Company
shall be the surviving corporation in any merger or consolidation, each
outstanding Option shall pertain to and apply to the securities to which a
holder of the number of Shares subject to the Option would have been entitled. A
merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation
shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate, provided that each Optionee
shall, in such event, have the right immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation to exercise
his or her outstanding Options in full.

          (c)  In the event of a change in the Shares as presently constituted
which is limited to a change of all of its authorized Shares with par value into
the same number of Shares with a different par value or without par value, the
Shares resulting from any such change shall be deemed to be Shares within the
meaning of this Plan.

     To the extent that the foregoing adjustments relate to Shares, such
adjustments shall be made by the Administrator, whose determination shall be
final, binding and conclusive.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
     The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way the
right or power of the Company to make adjustments, reclassifications,
reorganizations or changes of its capital or business structure or to merge or
to consolidate or to dissolve, liquidate or sell, or transfer all or any part of
its business or assets.

     10.  ADOPTION AND APPROVAL OF THE PLAN. The Plan was adopted by the Board
of Directors of the Company on March 12, 1996, subject to the approval of a
majority of the shareholders of the Company at the next Annual Meeting.

     11.  AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN. All provisions of the Plan (including the form
of Option agreement) may at any time or from time to time be modified or amended
by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that (i) modifications or
amendments which affect the determination of the amount, price and timing of
Options awarded under the Plan may not be made more than once every six (6)
months except to comport with changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the rules thereunder and (ii) no Option at any time outstanding
under the Plan may be modified, impaired or cancelled without the consent of the
holder thereof, and provided further, the Plan may not be amended (a) to
increase the maximum number of Shares subject to the Plan, (b) to reduce the
Option price of the Shares, contrary to the provisions of the Plan as
hereinabove set forth, or (c) to materially modify the requirements as to
eligibility for participation in the Plan.

     12.  PLAN TERMINATION. The Plan shall terminate on December 31, 2006 except
as to Options outstanding on such date and no Option shall be granted under this
Plan after that date.
