RIGHTS TO PURCHASE COMMON STOCK
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

-----------

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 communities 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 pays regular
quarterly distributions to its shareholders.

The last reported sale price of the Shares, which are listed under the symbol
"SCA", on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on May 9, 1997 was $21 3/8.
See "Price Range of ATLANTIC Shares and Distributions".

This Prospectus relates to (a) rights (the "Rights") to
subscribe for and purchase shares of ATLANTIC's common stock, par value $.01
per share (the "Shares"), and (b) the Shares that are issuable
by ATLANTIC upon exercise of the Rights (the "Offering"). ATLANTIC is issuing
as a dividend, at no cost, to each holder of Shares of record as of the close
of business on , 1997 (the "Record Date"), one Right for each
Share held. Rights entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share
at a subscription price equal to $ per Share (the "Subscription Price").
Rights will be evidenced by transferable Rights certificates and will expire at
5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on , 1997, or such later date
as ATLANTIC may determine in its sole discretion (the "Expiration Date"). The
Rights will be traded on the NYSE under the symbol "SCA-RT". Shareholders of
ATLANTIC who do not exercise all of their Rights will own a smaller relative
equity ownership and voting interest in ATLANTIC after the Offering and the
Merger transaction described below. Shareholders who do not exercise their
Rights may offer to sell them through a securities broker prior to
, 1997, although no assurance of a sale can be given. There is no minimum
number of Shares required to be sold as a condition to the consummation of the
Offering. See "The Offering".

The closing of the Offering is conditioned upon the consummation of the
merger (the "Merger") of ATLANTIC's REIT manager, Security Capital (Atlantic)
Incorporated (the "REIT Manager" or "REIT Management"), and its property
manager, SCG Realty Services Atlantic Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services"),
into a newly formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC. The REIT Manager and SCG Realty
Services are owned by Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"),
which owned 51.4% of the outstanding Shares at May 9, 1997. See "The Merger
Transaction" and "The Offering--Condition to Closing". The Offering is designed
to allow ATLANTIC's shareholders (other than Security Capital) the opportunity
to maintain their relative ownership in ATLANTIC by purchasing additional
Shares at a price which is equal to the price at which Security Capital is
receiving Shares in the Merger. Security Capital has agreed that it will not
exercise its Rights to purchase additional Shares and that it will not sell its
Rights. See "The Offering--Principal Shareholder". Because the Offering is
intended to provide each shareholder the opportunity to purchase a number of
Shares proportionate to the number of Shares which Security Capital will
receive in the Merger (based on percentage ownership of Shares), holders of
Rights will not be able to oversubscribe for unsubscribed Shares.

SEE "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING ON PAGE 21 FOR A DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FACTORS
RELEVANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES.

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED

ATLANTIC's objective is to be the preeminent real estate operating company
focusing on multifamily communities in its southeastern United States target
market. Through the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services, ATLANTIC has access
to services which provide ATLANTIC with the same resources as a fully
integrated operating company. The REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services have
approximately 95 professionals and 445 property level and support personnel
dedicated to implementing ATLANTIC's highly focused operating strategy.
ATLANTIC focuses on the development, acquisition, operation and long-term
ownership of multifamily communities. At April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio
consisted of 25,544 multifamily units, including 6,183 units under
construction or in planning, in 16 metropolitan areas and 50 submarkets in
growth areas of the southeastern United States. The total expected investment
cost of ATLANTIC's 70 operating communities, including budgeted renovations
and total budgeted development expenditures, was approximately $982.6 million
at April 30, 1997 and the total budgeted development cost of ATLANTIC's 20
communities under construction or in planning was approximately $389.6
million. Additionally, at April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC had land in planning and
under control for the development of 2,164 units with a total budgeted
development cost of $137.5 million.

ATLANTIC seeks to achieve long-term sustainable growth in per Share cash
flow by maximizing the operating performance of its core portfolio through
value-added operating systems and concentrating its experienced team of
professionals on developing and acquiring industry-leading multifamily
communities in targeted submarkets exhibiting strong job growth and favorable
demographic trends. Since its inception in 1993, ATLANTIC has employed a
research-driven investment approach, deploying its capital in markets and
submarkets that exhibit strong market fundamentals. ATLANTIC believes that
population and employment growth are the primary demand generators for
multifamily product.

ATLANTIC believes that its future growth will be driven by (i) its research-
based investment strategy which focuses on a primary target market exhibiting
strong demographic trends and job growth prospects; (ii) an experienced
management team which provides ATLANTIC with several senior officers with the
leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience to
oversee the operations of ATLANTIC; (iii) ongoing research and development
focused on identifying those submarkets and product types that will offer
continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth; (iv) a development
strategy targeted at moderate income households which ATLANTIC believes
represent one of the largest and most underserved segments of the renter
population; (v) the acquisition and redevelopment of existing multifamily
communities in markets which are expected to experience favorable growth in
rents and income; (vi) a high-quality portfolio providing an internal

3
<PAGE>

source of long-term cash flow growth; (vii) the substantial resources available
to ATLANTIC through its affiliation with Security Capital; and (viii) 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. See "The Merger
Transaction" for a description of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into
with Security Capital, which owns the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services, to
merge the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly formed subsidiary
of ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares.

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.

RISK FACTORS

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE MATTERS DISCUSSED UNDER
"RISK FACTORS" PRIOR TO MAKING AN INVESTMENT DECISION REGARDING THE SHARES
OFFERED HEREBY. THESE RISKS INCLUDE:

. The value of ATLANTIC's assets is not based on third-party appraisals;
therefore, the price of the Shares may be greater than the fair market
value of ATLANTIC's portfolio.

. The ability of Security Capital to exercise significant influence over
the business and policies of ATLANTIC due to its ownership of 51.4% of
the outstanding Shares, its contractual right to nominate up to three
Directors and its contractual right to prior approval over certain
matters, including ATLANTIC's operating budget and substantial deviations
therefrom.

. ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of
factors, any change in which could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay
future distributions.

. 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) a 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
communities owned, communities for acquisition and land for development.

. Concentration of communities representing 34.7% of ATLANTIC's pro forma
revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 in the Atlanta,
Georgia metropolitan area, which thus may be affected by changes in the
economic conditions of that area.

. 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.

. Ability of ATLANTIC's Board of Directors (the "Board"), which is
comprised of a majority of independent Directors, to change certain
policies of ATLANTIC, including investment, financing and distribution
policies, without a vote of the shareholders, which could result in
policies that do not fully reflect the interests of all shareholders.

. Limitations on the shareholders' ability to change control of ATLANTIC
due to (i) restrictions on ownership of more than 9.8% of the number or
value of the outstanding shares of ATLANTIC's stock

4
<PAGE>

and possible redemption of shares acquired or voidance of the transfer of
shares acquired in excess of 9.8% of the number or value 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
or special shareholders' meetings.

. Possible adverse effect 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.

. Restrictions associated with tax-exempt bonds used to finance certain
communities which require that a certain percentage of units in those
communities be occupied by lower-income households.

. The possible effect on the market price of the future sale of a
substantial number of Shares.

For a discussion of ATLANTIC's transactions with related parties and the
compensation therefor, see "Certain Relationships and Transactions".

HIGHLIGHTS

ATLANTIC's highlights for 1996 include:

. ATLANTIC's 34 communities that were fully operational throughout 1996 and
1995 realized an increase in adjusted net operating income of 4.88%. See
"Business--Strategy for Cash Flow and Distribution Growth--"Same Store'
Growth". This strong net operating income growth from the same store
portfolio generated 30% of ATLANTIC's funds from operations growth, and
the positive impact of acquisitions completed in 1996 generated an
additional 29%. The remaining 41% of growth in funds from operations was
produced by the stabilization of new development communities. The
contribution to funds from operations growth from developments occurred
even though ATLANTIC had an average of $168.4 million of assets under
development or in lease-up during 1996. As these communities in lease-up
begin to reach stabilization in 1997 and subsequent years, they are
expected to add significantly to ATLANTIC's long-term performance. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Funds from Operations".

. The development of moderate income multifamily communities continues to
be a major component of ATLANTIC's investment strategy. During 1996,
ATLANTIC commenced construction of 2,815 units at a total expected
investment cost of $164.4 million. Of that total, 51.8% were moderate
income communities. During 1996, three developed communities (one of
which was a moderate income community) representing a total expected
investment cost of $43.0 million achieved stabilization, adding 804 units
to ATLANTIC's stabilized portfolio.

. ATLANTIC continues to take advantage of attractive investment
opportunities throughout its southeastern target market. During 1996,
ATLANTIC acquired 13 communities consisting of 3,556 units, representing
a total expected investment cost of $171.7 million.

. ATLANTIC is implementing an asset optimization strategy pursuant to which
it may from time to time dispose of communities that are no longer
consistent with its long-term investment objectives and redeploy the
proceeds into strategic acquisitions and developments, preferably through
tax-deferred exchanges. During 1996, ATLANTIC completed the disposition
of four communities, realizing an aggregate gain of $6.7 million on
aggregate proceeds of $64.2 million.

5
<PAGE>

. In May 1996, ATLANTIC closed a private placement of Shares that raised a
total of $249.3 million of net proceeds. The completion of this private
placement further enhanced the strength of ATLANTIC's balance sheet.
Proceeds from the private placement were used to fund investment
activities and repay borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350 million line of
credit.

. On October 17, 1996, ATLANTIC sold its Homestead Village properties to a
newly formed company, Homestead, and entered into a funding commitment
agreement to fund the development of certain of such properties in
exchange for Homestead common stock and warrants that ATLANTIC
subsequently distributed to its shareholders. On a fully funded and
converted basis, ATLANTIC will own 15.35% of Homestead's common stock
(assuming no further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all
convertible mortgage notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants) as a
result of its obligation to fund up to $111.1 million of Homestead
convertible mortgage notes, which are expected to contribute
significantly to ATLANTIC's future growth. Homestead's common stock and
warrants trade on the American Stock Exchange (the "ASE") under the
symbols "HSD" and "HSD.W", respectively. See "Certain Relationships and
Transactions--Homestead Transaction" and "--Funding Commitment
Agreement".

. ATLANTIC closed its initial public offering on October 18, 1996, raising
net proceeds of $110.0 million from the sale of 4,940,000 Shares at a
price of $24.00 per Share (before adjusting for the Homestead
Distribution described below).

. In December 1996, ATLANTIC replaced its secured line of credit with a new
$350 million unsecured line of credit. The new line of credit bears
interest at prime or, at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 1.375% compared to
the previous rate of LIBOR plus 1.5%. The loan agreement provides for a
further reduction in the interest rate depending upon ATLANTIC's debt
rating. ATLANTIC's objective is to achieve an investment-grade debt
rating in 1997.

. During 1996, ATLANTIC's Share price increased from $23.00 (based on the
offering price for a private offering conducted from November 1995 to May
1996) to $24.50 (based on the closing price on the NYSE on December 31,
1996). In addition, shareholders received total cash distributions of
$1.65 per Share in 1996 and a special distribution of 0.110875 shares of
Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase 0.074384 shares of
Homestead common stock per Share (the "Homestead Distribution"). The
securities distributed in the Homestead Distribution had a market value
of $2.67 per Share based on the closing prices of such securities on the
ASE on November 11, 1996, the day prior to the distribution date. See
"Price Range of ATLANTIC Shares and Distributions".

ATLANTIC's highlights for the first quarter of 1997 include:

. ATLANTIC's 50 communities that were fully operational throughout the
first quarter of 1997 and 1996 realized an increase in adjusted net
operating income of 5.72%. See "Business--Strategy for Cash Flow and
Distribution Growth--"Same Store' Growth". This strong net operating
income growth from the same store portfolio generated 32% of ATLANTIC's
funds from operations growth, and the positive impact of acquisitions
generated an additional 39%. The remaining 29% of growth in funds from
operations was produced by new development communities. The contribution
to funds from operations growth from developments occurred even though
ATLANTIC had an average of $229.6 million of assets under development or
in lease-up during the first quarter of 1997. As these communities in
lease-up begin to reach stabilization in 1997 and subsequent years, they
are expected to add significantly to ATLANTIC's long-term performance.
See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Funds from
Operations".

. The development of moderate income multifamily communities continues to
be a major component of ATLANTIC's investment strategy. During the first
quarter of 1997, ATLANTIC commenced construction

6
<PAGE>

of 668 units at a total expected investment cost of $42.9 million. Of that
total, 50.4% were moderate income communities. Also during the first
quarter of 1997, developed communities representing a total expected
investment cost of $20.8 million achieved stabilization, adding 408 units
to ATLANTIC's stabilized portfolio.

. ATLANTIC closed a second public offering on April 16, 1997, raising net
proceeds of $80.5 million from the sale of 4,000,000 Shares at $21.50 per
Share and will close on the overallotment option on May 14, 1997, raising
additional net proceeds of $1.5 million from the sale of 77,200 Shares at
$21.50 per Share. The proceeds from the offerings are being used to repay
borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350 million line of credit. At May 9, 1997,
ATLANTIC had 41,891,580 Shares outstanding. ATLANTIC's long-term debt as
a percentage of total long-term undepreciated book capitalization (the
sum of long-term debt and shareholders' equity after adding back
accumulated depreciation) was 16.9% at March 31, 1997 on an historical
basis and 15.1% at March 31, 1997 on a pro forma basis as adjusted to
give effect to the Merger and ATLANTIC's April 1997 public offering and
the application of the proceeds therefrom. As of May 9, 1997, $228.3
million of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit.

OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS

ATLANTIC believes that its future growth will be driven by the following
operating characteristics:

. STRONG PRIMARY TARGET MARKET. ATLANTIC believes the southeastern United
States is geographically and economically diverse and, therefore,
ATLANTIC has a strong primary target market in which to seek future
growth. Although 34.7% of ATLANTIC's pro forma revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 were derived from the Atlanta, Georgia
metropolitan area, as ATLANTIC continues to develop and acquire new
communities outside of Atlanta, it expects the percentage of its revenues
derived from communities located in Atlanta to decline. ATLANTIC's
primary target market cities are Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham, Alabama;
Charlotte, North Carolina; Jacksonville, Florida; Memphis, Tennessee;
Nashville, Tennessee; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia;
Southeast Florida (which includes Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach);
Tampa, Florida; and Washington, D.C. Based on forecasts published by
Woods & Poole Economics, Inc., the projected population growth in
ATLANTIC's primary target market is 31.5% for the years 1997 through
2016, whereas the projected population growth of the United States as a
whole for the same period is 16.8%. For the same period, job growth is
projected to be 29.0% in ATLANTIC's primary target market, compared to
20.8% for the United States as a whole. Depending on the level of new
construction starts by other multifamily developers, ATLANTIC believes
that the anticipated population and job growth in its primary target
market should contribute to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth in
cash flow.

. EXPERIENCED MANAGEMENT TEAM. The REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services
provide ATLANTIC with both strategic and day-to-day management, including
research, investment analysis, acquisition and due diligence,
development, property management, capital markets, accounting and legal
services. Through the REIT Management Agreement and the property
management agreements, ATLANTIC has access to services which provide
ATLANTIC with the same resources as a fully integrated operating company.
ATLANTIC's four senior executives have an average of 24 years of industry
experience developing and managing multifamily communities, thus
providing ATLANTIC with several senior officers with the leadership,
operational, investment and financial skills and experience to oversee
the operations of ATLANTIC, although ATLANTIC's future operations will
depend, in part, on ATLANTIC's ability to continue to retain and attract
experienced personnel. See "The Merger Transaction".

7
<PAGE>

. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. ATLANTIC is dedicated to ongoing research and
development. ATLANTIC utilizes Security Capital Investment Research
Incorporated ("Security Capital Investment Research"), an affiliate of
the REIT Manager, to conduct comprehensive evaluations of its target
market on a submarket-by-submarket basis to identify those submarkets and
product types that present better prospects for long-term cash flow
growth. These evaluations, combined with ATLANTIC's extensive market
experience in the southeastern United States, enable ATLANTIC to identify
submarkets that offer continued opportunities for long-term cash flow
growth. In addition to market research, considerable resources are
devoted to product research. The REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services
continually evaluate and refine ATLANTIC's multifamily communities to
incorporate technologies and designs that will enhance long-term
livability for its residents. ATLANTIC believes that its research-based
investment strategy differs from other multifamily REITs in that the REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services and their respective affiliates have
dedicated personnel who conduct comprehensive proprietary evaluations of
ATLANTIC's target market on a submarket-by-submarket basis taking into
account 24 key variables that ATLANTIC has identified as having the
greatest impact on multifamily operating performance. A few of these
variables include market demand analysis, detailed supply evaluations of
each submarket and other economic and demographic data.

. DEVELOPMENT OF MODERATE INCOME COMMUNITIES. As of April 30, 1997,
ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of 7 upper middle income communities with
a total expected investment cost of $133.0 million, 35 middle income
communities with a total expected investment cost of $565.5 million and
48 moderate income communities with a total expected investment cost of
$673.6 million. ATLANTIC focuses primarily on moderate income communities
(targeted to residents earning 65% to 90% of a submarket's median
household income, who comprise one of the largest segments of the renter
population). In 1997, approximately 71.8% of development starts and
approximately 62.2% of ATLANTIC's total development activities are
expected to constitute moderate income communities, based on total
budgeted development cost. Few other REITs in ATLANTIC's primary target
market currently focus on the moderate income segment. Moreover, ATLANTIC
believes that less than 10% of the 1995 and 1996 multifamily starts in
ATLANTIC's primary target market cities constituted moderate income
product. Consequently, ATLANTIC believes that the moderate income segment
is a significantly underserved market with limited competition. Moderate
income residents are typically longer-term residents because they often
lack the financial resources required to purchase single-family homes. As
a result, resident turnover is often lower in moderate income communities
than in upper middle income or middle income communities. 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 communities, ATLANTIC believes that
this product category offers better prospects for long-term cash flow
growth.

. OPPORTUNISTIC ACQUISITIONS. It is often advantageous for ATLANTIC to
acquire existing multifamily communities in markets that are expected to
experience favorable growth in rents and income. In many cases,
communities can be acquired and redeveloped at prices well below the cost
to build a comparable community in the same area. The REIT Manager has
the capability to thoroughly analyze and evaluate communities in an
efficient manner which, together with ATLANTIC's access to capital,
provides ATLANTIC with a competitive advantage in acquiring multifamily
assets. From its inception on October 26, 1993 to April 30, 1997,
ATLANTIC had completed acquisitions with a total expected investment cost
of $980.6 million.

. HIGH QUALITY PORTFOLIO. As noted above, adjusted net operating income on
a "same store" basis increased 5.72% from the first quarter of 1996 to
the first quarter of 1997 for the 50 communities that were fully
operational during both periods. As of April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC's
operating communities (excluding communities in lease-up) were 94.8%
leased. ATLANTIC believes that this strong performance reflects the
quality of its portfolio and strength of its primary target market. In
addition, as of April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio of multifamily
communities consisted of 56.6% of stabilized

8
<PAGE>

operating communities, 15.0% of pre-stabilized operating communities and
28.4% of communities under development, based on total expected investment
cost. See "Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System--Acquisitions". As the
development communities are completed and the pre-stabilized communities
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
communities with a view to effective long-term ownership and operation.
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, help ATLANTIC to
identify submarkets and product types that it believes will generate
above average long-term growth opportunities. Under its asset
optimization program, ATLANTIC may from time to time dispose of assets
that no longer meet its long-term investment objectives and redeploy the
proceeds, preferably through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets with
better prospects for cash flow growth. ATLANTIC disposed of five
operating communities during 1996 and 1997.

. RESOURCES AND EXPERIENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER. Security Capital,
ATLANTIC's largest shareholder and the owner of the REIT Manager, owns
51.4% of ATLANTIC's outstanding Shares. ATLANTIC benefits from the
substantial resources available to it through its affiliation with
Security Capital, including capital markets, research, accounting and
legal services. See "The Merger Transaction". To provide for a wider
distribution of ownership and greater liquidity, Security Capital
intends, over time, to allow its ownership interest in ATLANTIC to fall
to between 40% and 50% as ATLANTIC conducts equity offerings, which is
consistent with its ownership interests in the other operating companies
in which Security Capital invests.

. CONSERVATIVE BALANCE SHEET STRATEGY. ATLANTIC has a conservative balance
sheet strategy. Long-term debt as a percentage of total long-term
undepreciated book capitalization was 16.9% at March 31, 1997 on an
historical basis and 15.1% at March 31, 1997 on a pro forma basis as
adjusted to give effect to the Merger and ATLANTIC's April 1997 public
offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom. In the future,
ATLANTIC intends to access the public equity and debt markets. ATLANTIC's
objective is to achieve an investment-grade debt rating in 1997 and to
issue long-term, fixed-rate, fully amortizing unsecured corporate debt,
which will limit ATLANTIC's exposure to floating rate or balloon
financing. ATLANTIC's $350 million unsecured line of credit enables
ATLANTIC to take advantage of investment opportunities in its target
market without investing significant funds in short-term investments
between securities offerings. As of May 9, 1997, $228.3 million of
borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit and such outstanding
borrowings are expected to be approximately $ million at 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, contributing to ATLANTIC's objective of long-term growth
in cash flow.

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".

THE MERGER TRANSACTION

In January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to the Board that Security
Capital exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Shares, with the
result that ATLANTIC would become an internally managed REIT. On March 18,
1997, a special committee of independent Directors of the Board (the "Special
Committee") recommended that the Board approve the Merger subject to definitive
documentation. Following the meeting of the Special Committee, the full Board
approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger. On March 24, 1997, ATLANTIC and
Security Capital entered into a Merger and Issuance Agreement (the "Merger
Agreement"), which is subject to customary conditions, including the approval
of ATLANTIC's shareholders, pursuant to which Security Capital will cause the
REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services to be merged into a newly formed
subsidiary of ATLANTIC (the "Merger"). The employees of the REIT Manager and
SCG Realty Services will become employees of ATLANTIC as a result of the
Merger. In exchange for the transfer of those businesses, ATLANTIC will issue
to Security Capital Shares valued at approximately $54.6 million. See "The
Merger Transaction".

The number of Shares issuable to Security Capital in the Merger was based on
the average closing price of the Shares on the NYSE over the five-day period
prior to the record date for determining ATLANTIC's shareholders entitled to
vote at the meeting in connection with the Merger (which was the same as the
Record Date for the Rights dividend), subject to such average being not more
than $25.8633 or less than $20.6367. The average closing price of the Shares
over the five-day period prior to the Record Date was $ per Share,
which was within the range, so the number of Shares issuable to Security
Capital in the Merger will be based on such average price and the Subscription
Price for the Offering is equal to such average price. The Offering is designed
to allow ATLANTIC's shareholders (other than Security Capital) the opportunity
to maintain their relative ownership in ATLANTIC by purchasing additional
Shares at a price which is equal to the price at which Security Capital is
receiving Shares in the Merger. Security Capital has agreed that it will not
exercise its Rights to purchase additional Shares and that it will not sell its
Rights. See "The Offering--Principal Shareholder".

In addition to the Offering, as part of the Merger transaction, and in order
to permit holders of Shares to benefit from the Merger transaction on the same
basis as equity holders in Security Capital, Security Capital will issue
warrants pro rata to ATLANTIC's shareholders, other than Security Capital (the
"Warrant Issuance"), to acquire shares of Security Capital's Class B common
stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Stock"), after the closing of the
Merger and the Offering. See "The Merger Transaction". Prospective investors
are advised that ATLANTIC believes that a shareholder receiving warrants
pursuant to the Warrant Issuance should have ordinary taxable income equal to
the value of the warrants on the Warrant Issuance date, whether or not the
shareholders sell the warrants received in the Warrant Issuance. See "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Tax Effects of the Merger".

The Board believes that the Merger will result in an enhancement to
shareholder value. Currently, ATLANTIC pays a fee to the REIT Manager based on
a fixed percentage of ATLANTIC's cash flow (as defined) which increases
proportionately as ATLANTIC adds assets. The Board believes that ATLANTIC has
reached a sufficient size to realize economies of scale by internalizing the
management function since ATLANTIC will have sufficient depth of management and
personnel such that additional assets can be acquired, developed and managed
without a significant increase in personnel or other costs. These economies of
scale should result in an increase in the level of earnings growth and over
time, the multiple at which Shares trade. The Board believes that the Merger
will further benefit ATLANTIC's long-term performance as follows:

. The Merger will position ATLANTIC to pursue possible acquisitions of
other REITs in a more effective manner.

11
<PAGE>

. Investors and analysts will view an internally managed structure more
favorably since ATLANTIC's costs, after capitalization of qualifying
acquisition and development costs in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP"), will be more comparable to other
multifamily REITs. These acquisition and development activities are
currently provided by the REIT Manager and paid for as part of the REIT
Management fee, which fee is expensed by ATLANTIC. Management believes
that the increased comparability, in addition to the opportunity for
increased funds from operations growth due to the economies of scale, as
discussed above, will result in a higher multiple on ATLANTIC's funds
from operations and an enhancement to shareholder value.

. As a consequence of the REIT Manager's and SCG Realty Services' personnel
becoming full-time employees of ATLANTIC, they will be able to more
closely relate the results of their efforts to ATLANTIC's performance.

. ATLANTIC intends to apply for rating for future offerings of debt
securities. The Merger is expected to be viewed positively by the rating
agencies, which could have a positive impact on ATLANTIC's future debt
cost.

For a more complete description of the Merger, see "The Merger Transaction".
For a discussion of certain tax consequences of the Merger and the related
transactions, see "Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Effects of the
Merger".

(1) For the period from inception (October 26, 1993) to December 31, 1993.
(2) At May 9, 1997, ATLANTIC had $228.3 million of outstanding borrowings under
its $350 million unsecured line of credit and such outstanding borrowings
are expected to be approximately $ million at the closing of the
Offering.
(3) ATLANTIC believes that funds from operations is helpful in understanding a
property portfolio in that such calculation reflects cash flow from
operating activities and the properties' ability to support interest
payments. 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 earnings 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 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 similarly
titled measures of other REITs.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors should carefully consider, among other factors, the
matters described below.

LACK OF INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF ASSETS

The value of ATLANTIC has not been determined on a community-by-community
basis because ATLANTIC is an ongoing business enterprise. Accordingly, no
appraisals, independent valuations or fairness opinions from a financial point
of view of the communities have been obtained in connection with the valuation
of ATLANTIC. Furthermore, the valuation of ATLANTIC is not based upon the
historical cost of assets or the current market value thereof. Therefore, the
price of the Shares may be greater than the fair market value of ATLANTIC's
portfolio.

SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OF PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER

As of May 9, 1997, Security Capital beneficially owned approximately 51.4%
of the issued and outstanding Shares. As a result, Security Capital currently
controls approximately 51.4% of the vote on matters submitted for ATLANTIC
shareholder action, including the Merger. No other shareholder may hold more
than 9.8% of the shares of ATLANTIC. Security Capital has the contractual
right (and after the Merger will continue to have the contractual right) to
nominate up to three directors to the Board, depending upon its level of
ownership of Shares. The directors so elected are in a position to exercise
control or significant influence over the affairs of ATLANTIC if they act
together. Upon consummation of the Merger, Security Capital's ownership could
increase from approximately % to approximately %, if no other shareholders
subscribe for Shares issuable in the Offering, and would remain at
approximately 51.4% if all other shareholders subscribe for the full amount of
Shares in the Offering. Additionally, after the Merger, Security Capital will
continue to have contractual rights of prior approval and consultation
regarding certain important matters. To provide for a wider distribution of
ownership and greater liquidity, Security Capital intends, over time, to allow
its ownership interest in ATLANTIC to fall to between 40% and 50% as ATLANTIC
conducts equity offerings, which is consistent with its ownership interests in
the other operating companies in which Security Capital invests.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

ATLANTIC currently does not have any employees and relies on the REIT
Manager for all strategic and day-to-day management services and SCG Realty
Services to provide property management services for approximately 91% of
ATLANTIC's multifamily communities.

Two officers of the REIT Manager and its affiliates (Jeffrey A. Klopf,
Senior Vice President of Security Capital, ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager
(securities offerings, corporate acquisitions and legal) and Ariel Amir, Vice
President of Security Capital (securities offerings, corporate acquisitions
and legal)) 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 Security Capital Pacific Trust ("PTR"), a NYSE-listed
REIT which focuses on multifamily communities in the western United States,
and Security Capital Industrial Trust ("SCI"), a NYSE-listed REIT which
focuses on industrial real estate in the United States. Security Capital
Markets Group Incorporated ("Capital Markets Group"), Security Capital's
registered broker-dealer affiliate, devotes a substantial portion of its time
to these other REITs, Homestead, an ASE-listed real estate company which
focuses on extended-stay facilities in the United States, and Security
Capital. Messrs. Klopf and Amir provide centralized securities offering,
corporate acquisition and legal services to ATLANTIC and other affiliated real
estate companies, including PTR, SCI, Homestead and Security Capital, and, as
a result, do not focus their full efforts and attention on ATLANTIC. In
addition, the REIT Manager and its affiliates share a common senior investment
committee, which approves all acquisition and development proposals before
they are submitted to the respective REIT boards for approval. PTR acquires
multifamily communities 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".

22
<PAGE>

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 communities and Mr. Holmes may therefore have
conflicts of interest in presenting acquisition or development opportunities
to ATLANTIC.

The owner of the REIT Manager, Security Capital, is ATLANTIC's principal
shareholder, and Security Capital could influence decisions regarding the REIT
Management Agreement, property management agreements between ATLANTIC and SCG
Realty Services and fees relating to such agreements. Although all agreements
with the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services must be reviewed and approved at
least annually by ATLANTIC's independent Directors, no assurance of arm's-
length negotiations can be given. See "The Merger Transaction" for a
description of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into with Security
Capital to merge the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly formed
subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares. For information concerning
proposed changes to the Investor Agreement, see "The Merger Transaction--
Relationship with Security Capital After the Merger--Investor Agreement".

RISK OF INABILITY TO PAY FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS

ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of
factors, including factors relating to the future operations of ATLANTIC.
These factors include, among other things, continued community occupancy,
capital expenditures and other costs relating to ATLANTIC's existing
communities. Some of the factors described above are beyond the control of
ATLANTIC, and a change in any such factor could affect ATLANTIC's ability to
pay future distributions. Hence, no assurance can be given as to ATLANTIC's
ability to pay future distributions. See "Price Range of ATLANTIC Shares and
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 communities or a reduction in rental demand in an
area), the quality and philosophy of management, competition from other
available multifamily communities 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 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 communities.

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.

23
<PAGE>

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 its unsecured
revolving line of credit or current or future mortgage indebtedness on its
communities, 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 community is mortgaged to secure
payment of indebtedness and ATLANTIC is unable to meet mortgage payments, the
community could be transferred to the mortgagee with a consequent loss of
income and asset value to ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC's policy will be to generally
arrange unsecured, 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 8,081 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 communities, 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
communities may not be leased on profitable terms. Timely construction may be
adversely affected by local weather, local or national strikes and by local or
national shortages in materials, insulation, building supplies and energy and
fuel for equipment. ATLANTIC intends to finance future development with cash on
hand or revolving credit borrowings (which ATLANTIC expects to repay with
proceeds from sales of long-term debt or equity securities); however, until
such communities 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 of such regulations could have the effect of increasing the
expenses and lowering the profitability of any of the communities 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 communities, ATLANTIC may invest in mortgages in connection with the
construction and development of new multifamily communities for ATLANTIC by
third parties. See "Policies With Respect to Certain Activities--Investment
Policies". Pursuant to a funding commitment agreement entered into in
connection with the Homestead

24
<PAGE>

transaction, ATLANTIC has invested and will invest in convertible mortgage
notes issued by Homestead. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--
Homestead Transaction" and "--Funding Commitment Agreement". 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 communities that meet ATLANTIC's
investment criteria. See "Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System--Developed
Communities". 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
communities with policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried
for similar communities. There are, however, certain types of losses 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 communities.

Competition

There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with ATLANTIC in seeking land for
development, communities for acquisition and disposition and residents for
communities. All of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities are located in developed
areas that include other multifamily communities. The number of competitive
multifamily communities 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
communities provide housing alternatives to residents and potential residents
of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities.

CONCENTRATION OF COMMUNITIES IN ATLANTA

As of March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio included $363.8 million of
communities, based on cost, that are located in the Atlanta, Georgia
metropolitan area, representing 34.7% of pro forma revenues for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, 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.

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 and it meets certain other
qualification requirements. No assurance can be given that ATLANTIC will remain
qualified as a REIT. 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

25
<PAGE>

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".

IMPACT OF MERGER ON ATLANTIC'S FINANCIAL POSITION

To date ATLANTIC has incurred a REIT management fee and property management
fee for services provided by Security Capital. After completion of the Merger,
ATLANTIC will no longer pay a REIT management or property management fee;
instead, it will incur the operating and related costs for the professionals
(currently 95 professionals) and property level and support personnel
(currently 445 persons) employed by the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services.
ATLANTIC will directly incur all future increases in management costs that
currently are borne by the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services. The Board
believes that ATLANTIC has reached a sufficient size to realize economies of
scale by internalizing the management function since ATLANTIC will have
sufficient depth of management and personnel such that additional assets can
be acquired, developed and managed without a significant increase in personnel
or other costs. However, no assurance can be given that the cost to ATLANTIC
of providing such services internally will not exceed the fees payable to the
REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services under the current agreements. However, as
a result of the Merger, ATLANTIC will capitalize qualifying acquisition and
development costs.

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 defined in the Code to include
certain entities). Pursuant to the constructive ownership rules, Security
Capital'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 Security Capital 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.

Purchase Rights

On March 12, 1996, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share
purchase right (a "Purchase Right") for each Share outstanding. Each purchaser
of a Share subsequent to March 12, 1996 (including purchasers of Shares in the
Offering) will also receive a Purchase Right with each Share purchased. Each
Purchase Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to purchase
from ATLANTIC two one-

26
<PAGE>

hundredths of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of $40
per one one-hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to
adjustment. Purchase Rights are exercisable when a person or group of persons
(other than certain affiliates of ATLANTIC) acquires 20% or more of the
outstanding shares or announces a tender offer for 25% or more of the
outstanding shares. Under certain circumstances, each Purchase Right entitles
the holder to purchase, at the Purchase Right's then-current subscription
price, a number of Shares having a market value of twice the Purchase Right's
subscription 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 subscription price, a number of the acquiring
company's common shares having a market value at that time equal to twice the
Purchase Right's subscription price. The Purchase Rights held by certain 20%
shareholders (other than certain affiliates of ATLANTIC) would not be
exercisable.

The Purchase Rights may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change
in control of ATLANTIC without the consent of the Board even if a change in
control were in the shareholders' interests and may also adversely affect the
voting and other rights of shareholders. See "Description of Stock--Purchase
Rights".

Classified Board

The Board has been divided into three classes of Directors. The terms of the
classes will expire in 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. Beginning in 1997,
as the term of a class expires, Directors for that class will be elected for a
three-year term and the Directors in the other two classes will continue in
office.

Preferred Stock

ATLANTIC's Charter authorizes the Board to reclassify any unissued shares of
ATLANTIC's stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences,
conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to
dividends, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption. See
"Description of Stock--General" and "--Preferred Stock". Except as described
above under "--Purchase Rights", no such shares have been so reclassified to
date.

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,
as amended (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.

<PAGE>

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. ATLANTIC's 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
Security Capital. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Security
Capital 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 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 communities.

ATLANTIC has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-
compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of its communities
owned or being acquired at April 30, 1997, and ATLANTIC is not aware of any
environmental condition with respect to any of its communities that is likely
to be material. ATLANTIC has subjected each of its communities 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 ATLANTIC
believes would have a material adverse effect on its 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 unreimbursed costs relating to environmental liabilities.

Compliance With the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988

The Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the "FHA") requires multifamily
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
communities that are subject to the FHA are in compliance with such law.

28
<PAGE>

Compliance With the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990

ATLANTIC's communities and any newly developed or acquired multifamily
communities must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (the "ADA") to the extent that such communities 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 communities, 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
communities, such as ATLANTIC's communities, to be public accommodations or
commercial facilities except to the extent portions of such communities, such
as a leasing office, are open to the public. ATLANTIC believes that its
communities 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 communities 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 communities met such requirements in December 1996.
There can be no assurance that each community 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 community.

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 May 9, 1997, ATLANTIC had 41,891,580 Shares issued and outstanding,
which were held of record by approximately 300 persons. All such Shares may be
sold in the public market 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.

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 of the Offering will be used to retire revolving credit debt
which was incurred for (i) the acquisition and development of multifamily
communities, (ii) capital improvements to communities, (iii) fundings under
ATLANTIC's funding commitment agreement with Homestead and (iv) general
corporate purposes. As of May 9, 1997, ATLANTIC had $228.3 million of
outstanding borrowings under its $350 million unsecured revolving line of
credit with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT"), as agent for a
syndicate of banks, and such outstanding borrowings are expected to be
approximately $ million at the closing of the Offering. Borrowings under
the line of credit bear interest at prime (8.5% at May 9, 1997) or, at
ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus 1.375% (7.0625% at May 9, 1997). See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Line of Credit".

PRICE RANGE OF ATLANTIC SHARES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

The Shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol "SCA". As of May 9, 1997,
ATLANTIC had 41,891,580 Shares issued and outstanding, which were held of
record by approximately 300 shareholders. The Shares commenced trading on the
NYSE on October 15, 1996 and the high and low sales prices of the Shares as
reported in the NYSE Composite Tape were $24 5/8 and $20 7/8, respectively, for
the fourth quarter of 1996 (as adjusted for the Homestead Distribution
described below), and were $26 1/2 and $22, respectively, for the first quarter
of 1997 and $22 3/8 and $20 3/4, respectively, for the second quarter of 1997
(through May 9). The following table sets forth ATLANTIC's cash distributions
per Share for the periods indicated. All per Share amounts have been adjusted

<PAGE>

In addition to the quarterly cash distributions shown above, ATLANTIC made
the Homestead Distribution on November 12, 1996 to holders of Shares of record
on October 29, 1996. The securities distributed in the Homestead Distribution
had a market value of $2.67 per Share based on the closing prices of such
securities on the ASE on November 11, 1996, the day prior to the distribution
date. The Homestead Distribution resulted in an adjustment of $2.75 per Share
to ATLANTIC's Share price information on the NYSE on November 12, 1996.
Accordingly, ATLANTIC's October 1996 initial public offering price, as
adjusted for the Homestead Distribution, was $21.25 per Share (as compared to
the pre-adjustment price of $24.00 per Share).

ATLANTIC, in order to qualify as a REIT, is required to make distributions
(other than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in amounts at
least equal to (i) the sum of (A) 95% of its "REIT taxable income" (computed
without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and its 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. ATLANTIC's long-term
distribution strategy is to distribute what it believes is a conservative
percentage of its cash flow, permitting ATLANTIC to retain funds for capital
improvements and other investments while funding its distributions. ATLANTIC
has paid 13 consecutive quarterly cash distributions since its inception in
October 1993.

ATLANTIC announces the following year's projected annual distribution level
after the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year.
At its December 19, 1996 Board meeting, the Board announced a projected annual
distribution level of $1.56 per Share for 1997. The payment of distributions
is subject to the discretion of the Board and is dependent upon the financial
condition and operating results of ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC's unsecured line of
credit contains covenants which provide that ATLANTIC's distributions for the
preceding four quarters, excluding the Homestead Distribution, may not exceed
95% of funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) for the
preceding four quarters.

ATLANTIC expects to continue to pay regular quarterly distributions to its
shareholders, but the historical distributions presented above prior to the
fourth quarter of 1996 did not take into account the cost of being a public
company and should not be considered to be indicative of future distributions.
ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions depends on a number of factors
including, among other things, continued property occupancy, capital
expenditures and other costs relating to ATLANTIC's existing communities and
ATLANTIC's financial condition and capital requirements. A change in any such
factor could affect ATLANTIC's ability to pay future distributions. Moreover,
ATLANTIC's operating results may be adversely affected if occupancy levels
decrease, if revolving credit borrowing costs increase or if any other adverse
changes occur. See "Risk Factors--Risk of Inability to Pay Future
Distributions".

Cash available for distribution will be affected by a number of factors,
including rental revenues from existing and new residents, the level of
acquisition and new leasing activity, ATLANTIC's operating expenses, the
interest expense and other debt service costs of ATLANTIC, the ability of
residents to meet their obligations, taxes payable by ATLANTIC and
unanticipated capital expenditures. ATLANTIC's policy is to expense, rather
than capitalize, repairs and maintenance, in determining net earnings and cash
available for distribution. Only major renovations, replacements or
improvements with a substantial expected economic life (such as roofs, parking
lots and additions) are capitalized. ATLANTIC has budgeted $7.4 million for
such purposes for the remainder of 1997. No assurances can be given that cash
available for distribution will be sufficient to pay future distributions.
Although ATLANTIC does not expect any future cash shortfalls, any such
shortfalls which do arise could result in reductions in ATLANTIC's cash
available for distribution which could result in lower than expected
distributions.

In addition to the $7.4 million of budgeted capital expenditures, as of
April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC had $86.2 million of unfunded construction
commitments and $74.5 million of communities in planning (owned and under
control), of which $62.7 million had not been funded. In addition, pursuant to
its funding commitment agreement, ATLANTIC has agreed to provide secured
financing of up to approximately $111.1 million to Homestead in exchange for
convertible mortgage notes, of which $79.1 million had not been funded as of
April 30, 1997. See

31
<PAGE>

"Certain Relationships and Transactions--Funding Commitment Agreement".
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 unsecured revolving line of credit
(which matures in December 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".

For federal income tax purposes, distributions may consist of ordinary
income, capital gains, non-taxable return of capital or a combination thereof.
Distributions that exceed ATLANTIC's current and accumulated earnings and
profits (calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather
than a dividend and reduce the shareholder's basis in the Shares. To the extent
that a distribution exceeds both current and accumulated earnings and profits
and the shareholder's basis in the Shares, it will generally be treated as gain
from the sale or exchange of that shareholder's Shares. For a more complete
discussion of the tax treatment of distributions to shareholders, see "Federal
Income Tax Considerations--Taxation of Shareholders". ATLANTIC annually
notifies shareholders of the taxability of distributions paid during the
preceding year. The following summarizes the taxability of cash distributions
paid in 1996, 1995 and 1994 on the Shares.

THE MERGER TRANSACTION

THE MERGER

In January 1997, Security Capital made a proposal to the Board that Security
Capital exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Shares, with the
result that ATLANTIC would become an internally managed REIT. On March 18,
1997, the Special Committee recommended that the Board approve the Merger
subject to definitive documentation. Following the meeting of the Special
Committee, the full Board approved the Merger Agreement and the Merger. On
March 24, 1997, ATLANTIC and Security Capital entered into the Merger
Agreement, which is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of
ATLANTIC's shareholders. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Security Capital
will cause the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services to be merged into a newly
formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC. The employees of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty
Services will become employees of ATLANTIC as a result of the Merger, which
will be consummated as follows:

. Security Capital will transfer all of its shares of the REIT Manager and
SCG Realty Services to a newly formed subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange
for Shares valued at approximately $54.6 million.

. The number of Shares issuable to Security Capital was based on the
average closing price of the Shares over the five-day period prior to the
record date for determining ATLANTIC's shareholders entitled to vote at
the meeting in connection with the Merger (which was the same as the
Record Date for the Rights dividend), subject to such average being not
more than $25.8633 or less than $20.6367. The average closing price of
the Shares over the five-day period prior to the Record Date was
$ per Share, which was within the range, so the number of
Shares issuable to Security Capital in the Merger will be based on such
average price and the Subscription Price for the Offering is equal to
such average price.

32
<PAGE>

. The Offering is designed to allow ATLANTIC's shareholders (other than
Security Capital) the opportunity to maintain their relative ownership in
ATLANTIC by purchasing additional Shares at a price which is equal to the
price at which Security Capital is receiving Shares in the Merger.
Security Capital has agreed that it will not exercise its Rights to
purchase additional Shares and that it will not sell its Rights. See "The
Offering--Principal Shareholder".

. As part of the Merger transaction, and in order to permit holders of
Shares to benefit from the Merger transaction on the same basis as equity
holders in Security Capital, Security Capital will issue warrants pro
rata to ATLANTIC's shareholders, other than Security Capital, to acquire
shares of its Class B Stock having an aggregate subscription price at the
time of the Warrant Issuance of approximately $46.9 million. The Warrant
Issuance will occur subject to and after the closing of the Merger and
after the closing of the Offering. The number of warrants to be received
by each shareholder in the Warrant Issuance will be determined after
ATLANTIC's shareholders have approved the Merger. The number of shares of
Class B Stock subject to the warrants will be based on the closing price
of the Class B Stock on the date the warrants are issued to the agent for
the Warrant Issuance for subsequent distribution to holders of Shares. It
is expected that application will be made for listing of the Class B
Stock and the warrants on the NYSE, although there can be no assurance
that either, or both, the Class B Stock or the warrants will be so
listed. The warrants will expire one year after issuance and will contain
customary anti-dilution provisions. The issuance of the warrants by
Security Capital is contingent upon the closing of the Merger. Any
securities issued pursuant to the Warrant Issuance will be offered only
by means of a separate proxy statement/prospectus which will be delivered
to ATLANTIC's shareholders.

No shareholder will be required to pay any cash or other consideration for
the warrants received in the Warrant Issuance or surrender or exchange Shares
in order to receive warrants. However, ATLANTIC believes that a shareholder
receiving warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance should have ordinary
taxable income equal to the value of the warrants on the issuance date. See
"Federal Income Tax Considerations--Tax Effects of the Merger".

The Merger transaction was initiated and structured by individuals who are
executive officers of Security Capital, the largest shareholder of ATLANTIC.
Although no independent representatives have been retained to negotiate the
terms of the transaction on behalf of ATLANTIC, the Board created the Special
Committee consisting of Messrs. Garcia, Holmes and Richman. The Special
Committee engaged Hogan & Hartson L.L.P. as its legal counsel and engaged J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc. as its financial advisor to provide a written opinion
with respect to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the
consideration to be received in the transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement and the Related Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to
ATLANTIC and its shareholders (other than Security Capital). No member of the
Special Committee is an officer of ATLANTIC or a Director or officer of the
REIT Manager or SCG Realty Services, or an officer or Director of Security
Capital. However, Messrs. Garcia, Holmes and Richman beneficially own 11,000,
58,500 and 11,000 Shares, respectively, and Messrs. Holmes and Richman
beneficially own 67 and 1,516 shares, respectively, of Security Capital's Class
A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Stock"). Additionally,
Messrs. Holmes and Richman beneficially own $508,358 and $856,318 aggregate
principal amount of Security Capital's Convertible Subordinated Debentures due
2014 (the "2014 Convertible Debentures"), respectively (convertible into an
aggregate of 486 and 819 shares of Class A Stock, respectively). Directors of
ATLANTIC, other than members of the Special Committee, beneficially own, in the
aggregate, 24,649 Shares, 511 shares of Class A Stock and $151,248 aggregate
principal amount of 2014 Convertible Debentures (convertible into an aggregate
of 144 shares of Class A Stock). Beginning on January 1, 1998, each share of
Class A Stock will be convertible into 50 shares of Class B Stock.

Concurrently with signing the Merger Agreement with ATLANTIC, Security
Capital also signed substantially similar agreements with each of SCI and PTR,
each of which are affiliates of Security Capital and ATLANTIC. Consummation of
the Merger transaction is not dependent upon the closing of the SCI and PTR
transactions.

RELATIONSHIP WITH SECURITY CAPITAL AFTER THE MERGER

Investor Agreement

Pursuant to an investor agreement (the "Investor Agreement"), between
ATLANTIC and Security Capital, Security Capital is entitled to designate three
persons to be nominated for election to the Board. So long as Security Capital
beneficially owns at least 10% of the Shares, ATLANTIC is prohibited from
increasing the number of members of the Board to more than seven. Additionally,
the Investor Agreement, among other things, requires ATLANTIC to obtain
Security Capital'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 or sale price exceeds $5.0
million. The Investor Agreement also provides certain registration rights to
Security Capital in respect of Shares beneficially owned by Security Capital.

As part of the Merger transaction, ATLANTIC and Security Capital will amend
and restate the Investor Agreement (as so amended and restated, the "Amended
and Restated Investor Agreement"). See "Certain Relationships and
Transactions--Security Capital Investor Agreement" for a description of the
current Investor Agreement. The Amended and Restated Investor Agreement will
provide that, without first having consulted with the nominees of Security
Capital designated in writing, ATLANTIC may not seek Board approval of (i)
ATLANTIC's annual budget; (ii) incurring expenses in any year exceeding (a) any
line item in the annual budget by the greater of $500,000 or 20% and (b) the
total expenses set forth in the annual budget by 15%; (iii) the acquisition or
sale of any assets in any single transaction or series of related transactions
in the ordinary course of ATLANTIC's business where the aggregate purchase
price paid or received by ATLANTIC exceeds $25.0 million; and (iv) entering
into any new contract with a service provider (a) for investment management,
property management or leasing services or (b) that reasonably contemplates
annual contract payments by ATLANTIC in excess of $1.0 million. ATLANTIC will
be under no obligation to accept or comply with any advice offered by Security
Capital with respect to the foregoing matters.

Additionally, so long as Security Capital beneficially owns at least 25% of
the Shares, Security Capital will have the right to approve the following
matters proposed by ATLANTIC: (i) the issuance or sale of any Shares (including
the grant of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase
Shares or any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares or the
issuance or sale of any security convertible into or exchangeable for Shares),
at a price per Share less than the fair market value of a Share on the date of
such issuance or sale; (ii) the issuance and sale of any disqualified shares
(as defined) if, as a result thereof, ATLANTIC's Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio
(as defined) would be less than 1.4 to 1.0; (iii) the adoption of any employee
benefit plan pursuant to which shares of ATLANTIC or any securities convertible
into shares of ATLANTIC may be issued and any action with respect to the
compensation of the senior officers of ATLANTIC (including the granting or
award of any bonuses or share-based incentive awards); and (iv) the incurrence
of any additional indebtedness (including guarantees and including
renegotiations and restructurings of existing indebtedness) if, as a result
thereof, ATLANTIC's Interest Expense Coverage Ratio (as defined) would be less
than 2.0 to 1.0. The restriction referred to in clause (i) above will not apply
to (A) the sale or grant of any options to purchase shares of ATLANTIC pursuant
to the provisions of any benefit plan approved by the shareholders of ATLANTIC,
(B) the issuance or sale of shares of ATLANTIC upon the exercise of any rights,
options or warrants granted, or upon the conversion or exchange of any
convertible or exchangeable security issued or sold, prior to the closing date
of the Merger or in accordance with the provisions of the Amended and Restated
Investor Agreement, (C) the issuance and sale of any shares of ATLANTIC
pursuant to any dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan approved by the
Board or (D) the issuance, grant or distribution of rights, options or warrants
to all holders of Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of
ATLANTIC or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of ATLANTIC.

The Amended and Restated Investor Agreement will also provide that, so long
as Security Capital owns at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, ATLANTIC may
not increase the number of persons serving on the Board

34
<PAGE>

to more than seven. Security Capital also will be entitled to designate one or
more persons to be nominated for election to the Board, as follows: (i) so long
as Security Capital owns at least 10% but less than 25% of the outstanding
Shares, it is entitled to nominate one person; and (ii) so long as Security
Capital owns at least 25% of the outstanding Shares, it will be entitled to
nominate that number of persons as shall bear approximately the same ratio to
the total number of members of the Board as the number of Shares beneficially
owned by Security Capital bears to the total number of outstanding Shares,
provided that Security Capital shall be entitled to designate no more than
three persons so long as the Board consists of no more than seven members.

As part of the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement, Security Capital will
be permitted to make employment opportunities with Security Capital or its
affiliates available to the officers and employees of ATLANTIC. Prior to
commencing discussions with a senior officer of ATLANTIC about any such
opportunity, Security Capital will be required to give the Board 14 days' prior
written notice.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Investor Agreement will provide
Security Capital with registration rights pursuant to which, in certain
specified circumstances, Security Capital will be permitted to request, at any
time, registration of all of Security Capital's Shares pursuant to Rule 415
under the Securities Act. Security Capital will be permitted to request one
such registration for every $100.0 million (based on market value) of Shares it
owns.

Administrative Services Agreement

Upon consummation of the Merger transaction, ATLANTIC and Security Capital
will enter into an administrative services agreement (the "Administrative
Services Agreement"), pursuant to which Security Capital will provide ATLANTIC
with certain administrative and other services with respect to certain aspects
of ATLANTIC's business, as selected from time to time by ATLANTIC at its
option. These services are expected to include, but are not limited to, payroll
and tax administration services, cash management and accounts payable services,
data processing and other computer services, human resources, research,
investor relations, insurance administration and legal administration. The fees
payable to Security Capital will be equal to Security Capital's cost of
providing such services, plus 20% (not to exceed market), subject to a maximum
amount of approximately $5.2 million during the initial term of the agreement,
of which approximately $1.5 million will apply to the period between closing of
the Merger and December 31, 1997 and the remainder will apply to 1998. Cost
savings under the Administrative Services Agreement will accrue to ATLANTIC.
The agreement will be for an initial term expiring on December 31, 1998 and
will be automatically renewed for consecutive one-year terms, subject to
approval by a majority of the independent members of the Board.

License Agreement

ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into a license agreement on the
closing date of the Merger (the "License Agreement") pursuant to which Security
Capital will grant ATLANTIC a non-exclusive license to use Security Capital's
registered logo and the non-exclusive right to use the name "Security Capital".
The term of the license will be for a period of 15 years, subject to ATLANTIC's
right to extend the license for up to two additional five-year periods.

Protection of Business Agreement

ATLANTIC and Security Capital will enter into a protection of business
agreement on the closing date of the Merger (the "Protection of Business
Agreement"), which will prohibit Security Capital and its affiliates from
providing, anywhere within the United States, directly or indirectly,
substantially the same services as those currently provided by the REIT Manager
and SCG Realty Services to any entity that owns or operates multifamily
properties. The Protection of Business Agreement will not prohibit Security
Capital or its affiliates from owning the securities of any class of ATLANTIC
or PTR. The Protection of Business Agreement will terminate in the event of an
acquisition, directly or indirectly, (other than by purchase from Security
Capital or any of its affiliates), by any person (or group of persons acting in
concert), other than Security Capital or any of its affiliates, of the greater
of (i) 25% or more of the outstanding shares of voting securities of ATLANTIC
and (ii) the percentage of outstanding voting securities of ATLANTIC owned
directly or indirectly by Security

Capital and its affiliates, in either case without the prior written consent
of the Board. Subject to earlier termination pursuant to the preceding
sentence, the Protection of Business Agreement will terminate on the third
anniversary of the closing date of the Merger.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN THE MERGER

If the Merger is consummated, the current officers and employees of the REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services (except Jeffrey A. Klopf) will become officers
and employees of ATLANTIC and be compensated for their service by ATLANTIC.
The following table sets forth the compensation for each of the Co-Chairmen
and the three other most highly compensated executive officers of ATLANTIC
(the "Named Executive Officers") and for all executive officers as a group
(who will become employees of ATLANTIC) for 1996. All compensation for 1996
was paid by Security Capital.

Merger, at which time he or she will become an employee of ATLANTIC and be
compensated by ATLANTIC. For 1997, each Named Executive Office will receive a
salary and be eligible for a target bonus. The actual amount of the bonus
(which may be higher or lower than the target bonus) will be determined at the
end of the year and will be based on several factors, including individual
performance and ATLANTIC's performance and other relevant factors. ATLANTIC
will continue the same compensation arrangements for the portion of 1997 in
which the Named Executive Officers are employees of ATLANTIC. The Named
Executive Officers are expected to be paid the following salaries for 1997 and
will be eligible for the following target bonuses for 1997:

In addition, subject to shareholder approval, during 1997 the officers and
employees may be granted options to purchase Shares. Such persons may also be
granted the right to purchase Shares under the Long-Term Incentive Plan;
ATLANTIC will loan such officers up to 95% of the purchase price for any
Shares so purchased on a full recourse basis. See "Long-Term Incentive Plan."
Additionally, during 1997 such persons may also be granted options to acquire
shares of Class A Common Stock of Security Capital.

The Board will also adopt a 401(k) plan which will permit eligible employees
to make pre-tax contributions of up to $9,500 to the plan or such other amount
as may be permitted under Code Section 401(k). ATLANTIC will match 50% of
participants' contributions that do not exceed 6% of their compensation.
ATLANTIC intends to make such matching contributions in the form of Shares.
Participants will become vested in the matching contributions 20% per each
year of service. Employees of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services will be
credited for service for the time they were employees of the REIT Manager or
SCG Realty Services.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

General

The Board has adopted, subject to shareholder approval, the 1997 Incentive
Plan (the "Incentive Plan") which authorizes the establishment of one or more
option programs and share purchase programs and the award of share grants. No
more than 3,000,000 Shares in the aggregate may be awarded under the Incentive
Plan and no individual may be granted awards with respect to more than 500,000
Shares in any one-year period. The Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee") will administer the Incentive Plan. Subject to the
terms of the Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee determines which
employees or other individuals providing services to ATLANTIC shall be eligible
to receive awards under the Incentive Plan, and the amount, price, timing and
other terms and conditions applicable to such awards. Non-employee Directors
are not eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan.

Options awarded under the Incentive Plan may be either incentive share
options or non-qualified share options. Options become exercisable and expire
in accordance with the terms established by the Compensation Committee. Shares
transferred to a participant pursuant to the exercise of an option may be
subject to such additional restrictions or limitations as the Compensation
Committee may determine. The Incentive Plan provides generally that
participants who are awarded options will also receive dividend equivalent
units with respect to the options. The dividend equivalent units will be
subject to the same vesting schedule as the options and will be payable when
the options are exercised, unless the participant elects to defer receipt, or
expire. Each dividend equivalent unit also accumulates additional dividend
equivalent units on an annual basis. All dividend equivalent units are paid in
the form of Shares at the rate of one Share per dividend equivalent unit.

The Incentive Plan provides that the Compensation Committee may award
participants performance stock, subject to achievement of performance
objectives. The number of Shares and the performance measures and periods shall
be established by the Compensation Committee at the time the award is made,
provided that any performance period shall be at least one year.

Non-Qualified Options

Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger transaction, it is expected
that certain named executive officers and other officers and employees of
ATLANTIC will be granted options to purchase Shares at the closing price of the
Shares on the date the Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders. The
participants have no rights as shareholders with respect to the Shares subject
to their options until the option is exercised. ATLANTIC ordinarily will be
entitled to claim a federal income tax deduction on account of the exercise of
a non-qualified option and payment of dividend equivalent units. The amount of
the deduction is equal to the ordinary income recognized by a participant.

Share Purchase Program

Concurrently with the consummation of the Merger transaction, ATLANTIC
intends to permit certain named executive officers and other officers and
employees to purchase up to a total of Shares at the closing price of
the Shares on the date the Incentive Plan is approved by shareholders with two
matching options for each Share purchased. Each matching option shall have a
subscription price equal to the closing price of one Share on the date the
Incentive Plan is approved by the shareholders. No equivalent dividend units
will be issued with respect to such matching options. The Share purchases are
expected to provide for a restricted period during which the participants may
not, while employed, sell the Shares. If a participant leaves the employ of
ATLANTIC prior to the end of the restricted period, ATLANTIC has the right to
repurchase the Shares at the fair market value of such Shares at the time the
participant's employment is terminated. At the end of the restricted period,
the participant shall own the Shares without further restriction. However, if
the participant sells the Shares after the end of the restricted period, the
participant's matching options may be adversely affected. ATLANTIC will make
loans for up to 95% of the purchase price available to participants. Each loan
will be fully recourse to the participant and be secured by the purchased
Shares.

BUSINESS

HIGHLY FOCUSED BUSINESS STRATEGY GROUNDED IN RESEARCH

Since its inception in 1993, ATLANTIC has employed a research-driven
investment approach, deploying its capital in markets and submarkets which
exhibit strong market fundamentals. ATLANTIC believes that population and
employment growth are the primary demand generators for multifamily product.
The following chart indicates the expected population and employment growth in
ATLANTIC's primary target market cities versus the United States as a whole
from 1997 to 2016. 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.
LOGO

At April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC owned communities in 50 of the 150 submarkets
within its target market. REIT Management is continuously researching
additional submarkets and cities and ATLANTIC may add additional primary target
market cities in the future; however, ATLANTIC intends to remain regionally
focused in the southeastern United States.

ATLANTIC's initial investment strategy focused on two components: the
acquisition of a substantial base of established multifamily communities to
provide operating cash flow and the creation of an internal development process
focused primarily on the development of moderate income multifamily
communities. ATLANTIC expects to continue to selectively acquire upper middle
income communities and acquire and develop middle income communities; however,
the majority of its future investment activities will concentrate on developing
moderate income communities.

The table below illustrates the growth in ATLANTIC's expected investment in
multifamily communities since its inception on October 26, 1993 to April 30,
1997:

payments to contractors, architectural and engineering fees and interest
and property taxes to be capitalized during the construction period, for
communities in development. Does not include land held for future
development, which is less than 1% of assets based on cost.
(2) The term "in planning" means that construction is anticipated to commence
within 12 months. The term "under control" means that ATLANTIC has an
exclusive right (through contingent contract or letter of intent) during a
contractually agreed-upon time period to acquire land for future
development of multifamily communities, subject to removal of contingencies
during the due diligence process, but does not currently own the land.

ATLANTIC'S OPERATING SYSTEM

The REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services have approximately 95 professionals
and 445 property level and support personnel dedicated to implementing
ATLANTIC's highly focused business strategy. ATLANTIC's "Operating System"
consists of six functional areas: research, acquisitions, development, due
diligence and investment analysis, property management and capital
markets/finance/legal. By focusing on a single discipline, professionals within
each of these areas develop substantial expertise. Interaction and
communication among these functional areas remain fluid; but separation
promotes certain checks and balances. For example, all acquisition and
development investments must be approved by a four-member investment committee
and ultimately by the investment committee of the Board.

Research

ATLANTIC is dedicated to ongoing research and development. ATLANTIC utilizes
Security Capital Investment Research, an affiliate of the REIT Manager and SCG
Realty Services, to conduct comprehensive evaluations of its target market on a
submarket-by-submarket basis to identify those submarkets and product types
that present better prospects for long-term cash flow growth. These
evaluations, combined with ATLANTIC's extensive market experience in the
southeastern United States, enable ATLANTIC to identify submarkets that offer
continued opportunities for long-term cash flow growth. In addition to market
research, considerable resources are devoted to product research. The REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services continually evaluate and refine ATLANTIC's
multifamily communities to incorporate technologies and designs that will
enhance long-term livability for its residents.

39
<PAGE>

Acquisitions

Since its inception in 1993, ATLANTIC has selectively acquired multifamily
communities where demographic trends and market trends indicate a high
likelihood of achieving superior operating results. As of April 30, 1997,
ATLANTIC's portfolio of communities acquired, net of dispositions, aggregated
17,463 operating units, representing a total expected investment cost,
including budgeted renovations, of $881.0 million.

ATLANTIC categorizes operating multifamily communities (which exclude
communities 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
communities) have been completed and in effect for a sufficient period of time
(but in no event longer than 12 months, except in cases of major
rehabilitation) to achieve 93% occupancy at market rents. Prior to being
"stabilized", a community is considered "pre-stabilized". As of April 30, 1997,
20.9% ($205.4 million) of ATLANTIC's multifamily operating portfolio was
classified as pre-stabilized, based on total expected investment cost. At April
30, 1997, ATLANTIC's operating communities (excluding communities in lease-up)
were 94.8% leased. For operating communities acquired by ATLANTIC, stabilized
operations generally have been achieved between six and 12 months after
acquisition. For communities that it is developing, ATLANTIC expects stabilized
operations generally to be achieved 12 to 18 months after construction
commences.

Developed Communities

ATLANTIC has selectively developed multifamily communities where land costs
and demographic and market trends indicate a high likelihood of achieving
attractive, sustainable operating results. At April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC's
completed developed communities and its owned communities under construction
and in planning together comprised 35.8% of its multifamily portfolio, based on
total expected investment cost. As of April 30, 1997, the development portion
of ATLANTIC's multifamily portfolio consisted of the following:

land, fees, permits, payments to contractors, architectural and engineering
fees and interest and property taxes to be capitalized during the
construction period. Does not include land held for future development,
which is less than 1% of assets, based on cost.
(2) Does not include land in planning and under control for the development of
2,164 units with a total budgeted development cost of $137.5 million.

ATLANTIC carefully manages development risks by obtaining zoning and public
approvals prior to purchasing land. ATLANTIC does not take construction risk,
but instead uses qualified third-party general contractors to build its
communities, using guaranteed maximum price contracts. ATLANTIC targets
development for markets with high occupancy rates and population and job growth
trends that indicate increasing future demand. ATLANTIC cannot eliminate all
development risk, but believes that the opportunities to better control its
product and realize higher returns from development communities compensate for
any additional 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 the development of future multifamily communities. In addition,
to provide for growth, ATLANTIC may utilize options and rights of first refusal
in order to control land for the development of future communities.

40
<PAGE>

To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily
communities, ATLANTIC has and will enter into presale agreements to acquire
communities developed by third-party owner/developers where the developments
meet ATLANTIC's investment criteria. ATLANTIC has and will fund such
developments through development loans to these 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 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 April 30, 1997, the outstanding
balance of development and mortgage loans made by ATLANTIC to third-party
owner/developers and Atlantic Development Services aggregated $15.5 million
and none, respectively. The activities of Atlantic Development Services and
third-party owner/developers are consolidated with ATLANTIC's activities and
all intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Due Diligence and Investment Analysis

ATLANTIC believes that a REIT should have experienced personnel dedicated to
performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT Manager has three
full-time professionals performing due diligence for ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager's professionals utilize due diligence information in screening
potential acquisitions and developments for ATLANTIC.

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 decisions are based upon the expected contribution of the community
to long-term cash flow growth on an unleveraged basis. The expected economic
contribution is based on an evaluation of a community's stabilized operations,
including an estimate of all cash revenues from leases and other revenue
sources, minus expenses incurred in operating the community (including real
estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, turnover costs (such as carpet and
appliance replacement), personnel costs and utility charges, but excluding
depreciation, debt service and amortization of loan costs) and a reserve for
capital expenditures.

Property Management

ATLANTIC believes that a successful REIT must actively manage its
communities in order to increase cash flow and enhance the long-term economic
performance of the communities. Approximately 91% of ATLANTIC's operating
multifamily units are managed by SCG Realty Services, which is headquartered
in Atlanta, Georgia, with the balance in various stages of transition to SCG
Realty Services' management. Security Capital is the sole owner of SCG Realty
Services and the REIT Manager. See "The Merger Transaction" for a description
of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into with Security Capital to merge
the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly formed subsidiary of
ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares. The property management fee paid to SCG
Realty Services for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and for the
year ended December 31, 1996 was $1.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively.
For a description of fees paid to SCG Realty Services, see "Certain
Relationships and Transactions--Property Management Company".

SCG Realty Services has approximately 45 professionals and 430 property
level and support personnel. All such persons are expected to become employees
of ATLANTIC after the Merger. SCG Realty Services emphasizes locally-based
management and has ten local offices to serve ATLANTIC's target market. This
network improves SCG Realty Services' ability to respond to changes in local
market conditions and resident needs. ATLANTIC believes that SCG Realty
Services has developed superior operating procedures, financial controls,
information systems and training programs, which it expects to positively
affect rental returns and occupancy rates. In addition, incentive compensation
programs have been implemented for on-site property managers to further
improve the performance of the communities. The REIT Manager has taken an
active role in overseeing SCG Realty Services' management of ATLANTIC's
multifamily communities.

41
<PAGE>

ATLANTIC recognizes that highly focused day-to-day management attention is
essential to maximize short-term and long-term cash flow from each of its
multifamily communities. As a result, SCG Realty Services has been specifically
dedicated to the pursuit of this single goal. The professionals within SCG
Realty Services focus only on ATLANTIC's communities. Therefore, their
attention is not diluted by competing demands of other customers. SCG Realty
Services and the REIT Manager work closely together to develop innovative new
ideas to maintain high resident satisfaction while maximizing cash flow growth.
During 1996, SCG Realty Services established a Regional Information Management
("RIM") Center. The RIM Center concept is designed to enable property-level
management personnel to focus on community operating performance while moving
certain accounting and administrative functions to the RIM Center. The RIM
Center is designed to carry out these functions for several area communities
and thus benefit from economies of scale, better accounting control and
enhanced cash management capabilities. During 1996, ATLANTIC entered into
revenue sharing agreements with certain cable television and telephone service
providers which provide for ATLANTIC to receive a percentage of the service
providers' revenues generated from subscribing residents in return for access
to the resident base.

Capital Markets/Finance/Legal

ATLANTIC believes that a successful REIT must have the ability to access the
equity and debt markets efficiently, expeditiously and cost-effectively.
ATLANTIC's ability to efficiently access the capital markets permits it to
capitalize on the development and acquisition opportunities that exist in its
target market. In order to maximize this function and enhance relationships
with major institutional sources of capital, Security Capital 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. After the Merger, shareholders relations services will be
charged in accordance with the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement
while capital raising services will be charged based on the services used.
Capital Markets Group and the REIT Manager have arranged approximately $420
million in private offerings and a $350 million line of credit for ATLANTIC.

ATLANTIC's increased borrowing capacity enables it to acquire communities
prior to equity and long-term debt offerings and to eliminate or minimize the
amount of cash it must invest in low-yielding short-term investments. ATLANTIC
believes its current leverage provides considerable flexibility to prudently
utilize long-term debt as a financing tool in the future. After it has achieved
a substantial equity base and an investment-grade debt rating, ATLANTIC expects
to arrange fully amortizing, fixed-rate, 15-year to 25-year unsecured debt, the
proceeds of which will be used primarily for the reduction of line of credit
balances 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 that covers all of ATLANTIC's tax-exempt bond issues. Under the agreement
with FNMA, ATLANTIC makes monthly principal payments, based on a 30-year
amortization, into a principal reserve account. Of these bond issues, $108.2
million have variable interest rates. To mitigate the variable interest rate
exposure, ATLANTIC entered into swap agreements. These swap agreements
effectively result in ATLANTIC paying interest at a fixed rate of 6.63%.

STRATEGY FOR CASH FLOW AND DISTRIBUTION GROWTH

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 and concentrating its experienced team of professionals on
developing and acquiring industry-leading communities in targeted submarkets
exhibiting strong job growth and favorable demographic trends.

In addition to its strong primary target market, ATLANTIC believes that the
following key factors will drive ATLANTIC's future growth: research and
development, moderate income development, opportunistic acquisitions, "same
store" growth, portfolio and asset optimization and a conservative balance
sheet strategy.

42
<PAGE>

Research and Development

ATLANTIC believes that its research-based investment strategy differs from
other multifamily REITs 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 key variables that ATLANTIC has identified as having the greatest impact on
multifamily operating performance. A few of these variables include market
demand analysis, detailed supply evaluations of each submarket and other
economic and demographic data. See "--ATLANTIC's Operating System--Research".

Development of Moderate Income Communities

Multifamily communities are differentiated by the income levels of their
residents. In descending order, the full multifamily spectrum includes upper
middle income apartments, middle income apartments, moderate income apartments,
mobile home parks and government subsidized housing. ATLANTIC deploys capital
into the first three categories. ATLANTIC's upper middle income communities
appeal to residents whose incomes, which equal 115% to 140% of submarket median
household income, are often sufficient to purchase homes. These communities
typically feature large luxurious units and numerous amenities, including large
exercise facilities and attached garages. ATLANTIC's middle income communities
appeal to residents whose incomes equal 90% to 115% of submarket median
household income. Middle income communities have smaller units and fewer
amenities than upper middle income communities. ATLANTIC's moderate income
communities accommodate 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 practical amenities such as
washer/dryer hookups, storage space and playgrounds.

ATLANTIC's initial acquisitions were principally middle income communities
since the existing moderate income inventory in the southeastern United States
consisted primarily of older communities (15-30 years old) which had been
poorly managed, were either dilapidated or approaching obsolescence and would
not compete effectively for residents in ATLANTIC's market. Accordingly,
ATLANTIC's portfolio at April 30, 1997 includes a larger percentage of upper
middle income communities (9.7%, based on total expected investment cost) and
middle income communities (41.2%, based on total expected investment cost) than
moderate income communities (49.1%, based on total expected investment cost).

As of April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of 7 upper middle income
communities with a total expected investment cost of $133.0 million, 35 middle
income communities with a total expected investment cost of $565.5 million and
48 moderate income communities with a total expected investment cost of $673.6
million. ATLANTIC focuses primarily on moderate income communities, which
comprise one of the largest segments of the renter population. Moderate income
communities comprised 51.8% of ATLANTIC's 1996 development starts, based on
total budgeted development cost. In 1997, approximately 71.8% of development
starts and approximately 62.2% of ATLANTIC's total development activities are
expected to constitute moderate income communities, based on total budgeted
development cost. The balance of development starts are expected to consist of
middle income communities.

Few other REITs in ATLANTIC's primary target market currently focus on the
moderate income segment. Moreover, ATLANTIC believes that less than 10% of the
1995 and 1996 multifamily starts in ATLANTIC's primary target market cities
constituted moderate income product. Consequently, ATLANTIC believes that the
moderate income segment is a significantly underserved market with limited
competition.

Moderate income residents are typically longer-term residents because they
often lack the financial resources required to purchase single-family homes. As
a result, resident turnover is often lower in moderate income communities than
in upper middle income or middle income communities particularly during
softening market conditions. 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.

43
<PAGE>

During the first quarter of 1997 and the fourth quarter of 1996, certain of
ATLANTIC's primary target market cities experienced a slowing in collections
growth principally due to demand and supply imbalances. During this period,
ATLANTIC's moderate income communities outperformed ATLANTIC's product types
as a whole. The table below demonstrates the performance of ATLANTIC's
moderate income communities in the "same store" portfolios.

</TABLE>

Due to market fundamentals and the operating characteristics of moderate
income communities, ATLANTIC believes that this category offers better
prospects for long-term cash flow growth.

ATLANTIC's research-driven development strategy is focused on developing
state of the art communities in attractive submarkets that responds to renter
preferences and demographic trends. ATLANTIC believes that developing
communities designed for long-term appeal to one of the largest segments of
the renter population (moderate income households) will allow ATLANTIC to
achieve more consistent rental increases and higher occupancies over the long
term and thereby realize superior cash flow growth. Development, principally
of moderate income communities, will be a critical factor driving ATLANTIC's
long-term growth. By year-end 1997, ATLANTIC anticipates that approximately
43.8% of its total portfolio will consist of communities ATLANTIC has
developed or is in the process of developing and approximately 60.6% of these
development communities will be moderate income product, based on total
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 technologies
and designs aimed at enhancing long-term rental growth and reducing ongoing
maintenance costs. ATLANTIC has had the opportunity to evaluate and refine its
multifamily communities through its history of development. ATLANTIC, unlike a
typical merchant builder, intends to be a long-term owner of the communities
that it develops. Hence, ATLANTIC emphasizes long-term durability by using
materials and designs that minimize ongoing operation and maintenance costs.

Opportunistic Acquisitions

It is often advantageous for ATLANTIC to acquire existing multifamily
communities in markets that are expected to experience favorable growth in
rents and income. In many cases, communities can be acquired and redeveloped
at prices well below the cost to build a comparable community in the same
area. The REIT Manager has the capability to thoroughly analyze and evaluate
communities in an efficient manner which, together with ATLANTIC's access to
capital, provides ATLANTIC with a competitive advantage in acquiring
multifamily assets. From its inception on October 26, 1993 to April 30, 1997,
ATLANTIC had completed acquisitions with a total expected investment cost of
$980.6 million.

"Same Store" Growth

Net operating income on a "same store" basis (as adjusted for pre-stabilized
versus stabilized accounting differences) increased 4.88% from 1995 to 1996
for the 34 communities that were fully operational during both

44
<PAGE>

periods and increased 5.72% from the first quarter 1996 to the first quarter
1997 for the 50 communities that were fully operational during both periods.
The accounting differences result from capitalizing certain costs during the
period after acquisition when a community is being repositioned and is
classified as pre-stabilized and expensing those costs once repositioning is
completed and the community is classified as stabilized.

ATLANTIC believes that the underlying long-term conditions of its primary
target market, including its strong job growth, should continue to support
high occupancy levels and allow for consistent increases in rental income. In
addition, 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 develops and acquires communities 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, help
ATLANTIC to identify submarkets and product types that it 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 that 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 cash flow growth. Under its asset optimization program, ATLANTIC may
from time to time dispose of assets that no longer meet its long-term
investment objectives and redeploy the proceeds, preferably through tax-
deferred exchanges, into assets with better prospects for cash flow growth.
ATLANTIC's asset optimization strategy is based on the premise that it has a
finite amount of investment capital and that this capital should be deployed
where it can produce maximum cash flow growth. ATLANTIC believes that many of
its existing upper middle income communities will be candidates for exchange
or disposition given the increased competition from this product type being
developed by third parties. Consistent with its current strategy, ATLANTIC
expects to redeploy the proceeds from these dispositions into moderate income
communities with superior growth prospects. During 1996 and 1997, ATLANTIC
disposed of five operating communities aggregating 1,448 units. A total gain
aggregating $4.0 million, net of provisions for possible losses, on aggregate
proceeds of $72.9 million was recognized. Four of the five dispositions have
been included in tax-deferred exchanges.

Conservative Balance Sheet Strategy

ATLANTIC has a conservative balance sheet strategy. Long-term debt as a
percentage of total long-term undepreciated book capitalization was 16.9% at
March 31, 1997 on a historical basis and 15.1% at March 31, 1997 on a pro
forma basis as adjusted to give effect to the Merger and ATLANTIC's April 1997
public offering and the application of the proceeds therefrom. In the future,
ATLANTIC intends to access the public equity and debt markets. ATLANTIC's
objective is to achieve an investment-grade debt rating in 1997 and to issue
long-term, fixed rate, fully amortizing unsecured corporate debt, which will
limit ATLANTIC's exposure to floating rate or balloon financing. ATLANTIC's
$350 million unsecured line of credit enables ATLANTIC to take advantage of
investment opportunities in its target market without investing significant
funds in short-term investments between securities offerings. As of May 9,
1997, $228.3 million of borrowings were outstanding under the line of credit
and such outstanding borrowings are expected to be approximately $
million at 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, contributing to ATLANTIC's objective of
long-term growth in cash flow.

EMPLOYEES

ATLANTIC currently has no employees. The REIT Manager, whose sole activity
is advising ATLANTIC, manages the day-to-day operations of ATLANTIC. The REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services have assembled a team of approximately 95
operating professionals, collectively possessing extensive experience in
multifamily real estate. All such persons are expected to become employees of
ATLANTIC after the Merger.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ATLANTIC is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of its business. ATLANTIC does not believe that the results of
any of such claims and litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have
a material adverse effect on its business, financial position or results of
operations.

COMPETITION

There are numerous commercial developers, real estate companies and other
owners of real estate that compete with ATLANTIC in seeking land for
development, communities for acquisition and disposition and residents for
communities. All of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities are located in developed
areas that include other multifamily communities. The number of competitive
multifamily communities in a particular area could have a material adverse
effect on ATLANTIC's ability to lease units and on the rents charged. In
addition, other forms of single family and multifamily residential communities
provide housing alternatives to residents and potential residents of ATLANTIC's
multifamily communities.

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT

ATLANTIC's communities must comply with Title III of the ADA to the extent
that such communities are "public accommodations" and/or "commercial
facilities" as defined by the ADA. The ADA does not consider multifamily
communities to be public accommodations or commercial facilities, except
portions of such facilities open to the public, such as the leasing office.
Noncompliance could result in imposition of fines or an award of damages to
private litigants. ATLANTIC believes that the mandated portions of its
communities comply with all present requirements under the ADA and applicable
state laws.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

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 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 communities.

ATLANTIC has not been notified by any governmental authority of any non-
compliance, liability or other claim in connection with any of its communities
owned or being acquired at April 30, 1997, and ATLANTIC is not aware of any
environmental condition with respect to any of its communities that is likely
to be material. ATLANTIC has subjected each of its communities 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 unreimbursed costs relating to environmental liabilities. See "Risk
Factors--Regulatory Compliance--Possible Liability Relating to Environmental
Laws".

INSURANCE COVERAGE

ATLANTIC carries comprehensive general liability coverage on its owned
communities, with limits of liability customary within the industry, to insure
against liability claims and related defense costs. Similarly, ATLANTIC is
insured against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to
reimburse ATLANTIC on a replacement-cost basis for costs incurred to repair or
rebuild each community, including loss of rental income during the
reconstruction period (up to a six-month period).

REIT MANAGEMENT

GENERAL

The REIT Manager and its specialized services affiliates provide ATLANTIC
with strategic and day-to-day management, research, investment analysis,
acquisition, development, marketing, disposition of assets, asset management,
due diligence, capital markets, and legal and accounting services, all of which
are included in the REIT Management fee. ATLANTIC currently has no employees.
Hence, ATLANTIC depends on 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 May 9, 1997,
approximately 50 operating professionals were employed by the REIT Manager. The
REIT Manager also provides office and other facilities supporting ATLANTIC's
needs. The REIT Manager's address is the same as ATLANTIC's. The owner of the
REIT Manager, Security Capital, currently owns approximately 51.4% of
ATLANTIC's outstanding Shares. See "The Merger Transaction" for a description
of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into with Security Capital to merge
the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly formed subsidiary of
ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares.

The owner of the REIT Manager has a substantial shareholder interest in
ATLANTIC, creating alignment of interest with ATLANTIC's shareholders.
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.

The REIT Manager has organized itself such that each operating professional
specializes in a particular discipline (such as research, marketing,
development, acquisition, due diligence, asset management, capital markets or
financial operations) rather than being responsible for all functions on a
project-by-project basis. Local investments are approved by the REIT Manager's
investment committee, using uniform criteria, prior to being submitted to
ATLANTIC's investment committee. Regional operating professionals focus on
specific target markets to ensure attention to resident services.

ATLANTIC believes that the quality of management should be assessed in light
of the following factors:

Management Depth/Succession

ATLANTIC believes that management should have several senior executives with
the leadership, operational, investment and financial skills and experience to
oversee the entire operations of the REIT. ATLANTIC believes that several of
its senior officers could serve as the principal executive officer and continue
ATLANTIC's performance. See "--Directors and Officers of ATLANTIC, the REIT
Manager and Relevant Affiliates" below.

Strategic Vision

ATLANTIC believes that management should have the strategic vision to
determine an investment focus that provides favorable initial yields and long-
term growth prospects. The REIT Manager has demonstrated its strategic vision
by focusing ATLANTIC on multifamily communities in the southeastern United
States, where demographic and supply factors have permitted high occupancies at
increasing rents.

47
<PAGE>

ATLANTIC focuses primarily on moderate income communities, which comprise
one of the largest segments of the renter population. Few other REITs in
ATLANTIC's primary target market currently focus on the moderate income
segment. Consequently, ATLANTIC believes that the moderate income segment is a
significantly underserved market with limited competition.

Research Capability

ATLANTIC believes that management should have the means for researching
markets to determine appropriate investment opportunities. ATLANTIC divides
its target market cities into numerous submarkets for analysis purposes. The
REIT Manager and its affiliates have several persons who devote substantial
time to research, on a submarket-by-submarket basis, and are closely
supervised by senior officers of the REIT Manager.

Investment Committee Process

ATLANTIC believes that investment committees should provide discipline and
guidance to the investment activities of the REIT in order to achieve its
investment goals. The four members of the REIT Manager's investment committee
have a combined 95 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 demonstrated by ATLANTIC's ability to achieve its investment goals
and generally realize its projected initial returns and growth from
multifamily investments.

Development/Redevelopment and Acquisition Capability

ATLANTIC believes that by internally developing projects and redeveloping
well-located operating communities, management can capture for the REIT the
value that 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 18 full-time professionals committed to development and acquisition
activities. The REIT Manager has arranged for over $980.6 million of
successful acquisitions for ATLANTIC. As of April 30, 1997, the REIT Manager
was developing 6,183 multifamily units for ATLANTIC with a total budgeted
development cost of $389.6 million. Additionally, as of April 30, 1997,
ATLANTIC had land in planning and under control for the development of 2,164
units with a total budgeted development cost of $137.5 million. REIT
Management has engaged in substantial development on behalf of ATLANTIC at
attractive yields that have exceeded projections and ATLANTIC believes that
development will contribute to its objective of long-term growth in cash flow.
See "Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System".

Disposition Capability

The ability to identify and effectively complete the cost-effective
disposition of targeted communities is essential to the successful execution
of ATLANTIC's asset optimization strategy. Since inception, ATLANTIC disposed
of 2,044 units, realizing an aggregate gain, net of provisions for possible
losses, of $4.0 million on aggregate proceeds of $103.8 million, which were
redeployed into strategic acquisitions and developments. Marketing efforts and
related costs and negotiation were conducted primarily by the REIT Manager
and, therefore, broker fees were minimal.

Due Diligence Process

ATLANTIC believes that management should have experienced senior personnel
dedicated to performing intelligent and thorough due diligence. The REIT
Manager has three full time due diligence professionals and has developed
uniform systems and procedures for due diligence, as described under
"Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System--Due Diligence and Investment
Analysis". The REIT Manager's due diligence personnel have screened and
selected a large volume of investments.

48
<PAGE>

Operating Capability

ATLANTIC believes that management can substantially improve funds from
operations by actively and effectively managing assets. As described under
"Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System", the REIT Manager and its affiliates
have devoted substantial personnel and financial resources to control and
effectively manage ATLANTIC's multifamily portfolio.

Capital Markets Capability

ATLANTIC believes that management must be able effectively to raise equity
and debt capital in order for the REIT to achieve superior growth through
investment. As described under "Business--ATLANTIC's Operating System--Capital
Markets/Finance/Legal", REIT Management has successfully arranged funding for
ATLANTIC's investment program.

Communications/Shareholder Relations Capability

ATLANTIC believes that a REIT's success in capital markets and investment
activities can be enhanced by management's ability to effectively communicate
the REIT's strategy and performance to investors, sellers of property and the
financial media. The REIT Manager provides full time personnel who prepare
informational materials for and conduct periodic meetings with the investment
community and analysts.

ATLANTIC believes that successfully combining the foregoing attributes
significantly enhances a REIT's ability to increase cash flow and increase the
market valuation of the REIT's portfolio.

CLASSIFICATION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to the terms of ATLANTIC's Charter, the Directors are divided into
three classes. One class (consisting of Mr. Potts) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1997, a second
class (consisting of Messrs. Garcia and Holmes) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1998 and a third
class (consisting of Ms. Moore and Mr. Richman) will hold office for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999. Each
Director will hold office for the term to which he or she is elected and until
his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. At each annual meeting of
shareholders of ATLANTIC, the successors to the class of Directors whose terms
expire at such meeting will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders held in the third year following the year of
their election. See "Certain Provisions of Maryland Law and of ATLANTIC's
Charter and Bylaws". Security Capital has a right to nominate up to three
Directors, depending upon its level of ownership of Shares, as described under
"Certain Relationships and Transactions--Security Capital Investor Agreement".
Ms. Moore and Mr. Potts are deemed to be the nominees of Security Capital.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The Board has established an Audit Committee consisting of Messrs. Garcia and
Holmes. The Audit Committee is responsible for making recommendations
concerning the engagement of independent public accountants, reviewing the
plans and results of the audit engagement with the independent public
accountants, approving professional services provided by the independent public
accountants, reviewing the independence of the independent public accountants,
considering the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviewing the adequacy of
ATLANTIC's internal accounting controls.

The Board has established an Investment Committee consisting of Messrs.
Holmes and Potts. The Investment Committee is responsible for reviewing and
approving all asset acquisitions and other investment decisions between
meetings of the full Board. Any decisions made by the Investment Committee are
reported to the full Board at its next quarterly meeting. The Investment
Committee receives recommendations from the REIT Manager's investment
committee.

The Board has established a Compensation Committee consisting of Messrs.
Garcia, Holmes and Richman, with Mr. Potts and Ms. Moore serving as non-voting
members, which reviews and approves ATLANTIC's compensation arrangements and
plans.

<PAGE>

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, each Outside Director,
as defined below, will be entitled to receive, on the date of each annual
meeting of shareholders, an option to purchase 1,000 Shares at a price per
Share equal to the closing price of one Share on the NYSE on such annual
meeting date. See "--Outside Directors Plan".

Directors are reimbursed for any out-of-town travel expenses incurred in
connection with attendance at Board meetings. Ms. Moore and Mr. Potts are not
separately compensated for serving as Directors.

OUTSIDE DIRECTORS PLAN

On March 12, 1996, the Board approved the Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated Share Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Outside Directors
Plan"). The Outside Directors Plan is incorporated by reference 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 Security Capital or
any of its affiliates ("Outside Directors") to increase their ownership of
ATLANTIC and thereby further the identity of their interests with those of
ATLANTIC's other shareholders.

To achieve the foregoing objective, the Outside Directors Plan provides for
grants of options ("Options") to purchase Shares. The Secretary of ATLANTIC
(the "Administrator") administers the Outside Directors Plan with a view to
ATLANTIC's best interests and the Outside Directors Plan's objectives. The
Administrator has authority to adopt administrative guidelines, rules and
regulations relating to the Outside Directors Plan and to make all
determinations necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration
of the Outside Directors Plan.

The number of Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of Options granted
under the Outside Directors Plan is 100,000. Shares that are forfeited will
again become available for awards under the Outside Directors Plan.

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 1,000 Shares at an exercise price equal to the closing price of the
Shares on the NYSE on

54
<PAGE>

such date. Also, each Outside Director serving at the time of ATLANTIC's
initial public offering was granted an Option to purchase 1,000 Shares at the
initial public offering price of $21.25 per Share, after adjusting for the
Homestead Distribution.

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 Option holder'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 in a cash
tender offer or exchange offer, each Option holder 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
Option holder 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 the Exchange Act.

LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

Maryland law permits a Maryland corporation to include in its charter a
provision limiting the liability of its directors and officers to the
corporation and its stockholders for money damages except for liability
resulting from (a) actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money,
property or services or (b) active and deliberate dishonesty established by a
final judgment as being material to the cause of action. ATLANTIC's Charter
contains such a provision which eliminates such liability to the maximum extent
permitted by Maryland law. ATLANTIC's officers and Directors are and will be
indemnified under ATLANTIC's Charter against certain liabilities. ATLANTIC's
Charter provides that ATLANTIC will, to the maximum extent permitted by
Maryland law in effect from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse
reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any
individual who is a present or former Director or officer of ATLANTIC or (b)
any individual who, while a Director of ATLANTIC and at the request of
ATLANTIC, serves or has served another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer,
partner or trustee of such corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise. ATLANTIC's Charter authorizes ATLANTIC, with
the approval of the Board, to provide such indemnification and advancement of
expenses to a person who served a predecessor of ATLANTIC in any of the
capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of
ATLANTIC or its predecessors.

Maryland law requires a corporation (unless its charter provides otherwise,
which ATLANTIC's Charter does not) to indemnify a director or officer who has
been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding
to which he or she is made a party by reason of his or her service in that
capacity. Maryland law permits a corporation to indemnify its present and
former directors and officers, among others, against judgments, penalties,
fines, settlements and reasonable expenses actually incurred by them in
connection with any proceeding to which they may be made a party by reason of
their service in those or other capacities unless it is established that (a)
the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and (i) was committed in bad faith or (ii) was
the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (b) the director or officer
actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services
or (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had
reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. However, a
Maryland corporation may not indemnify for an adverse judgment in a suit by or
in the right of the corporation. Maryland law permits ATLANTIC to advance
reasonable expenses to a director or officer upon ATLANTIC's receipt of (a) a
written affirmation by the Director or officer of his or her good faith belief
that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by
ATLANTIC as authorized by ATLANTIC's Bylaws and (b) a written statement by or
on his or her behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by ATLANTIC if it
shall ultimately be determined that the standard of conduct was not met.

55
<PAGE>

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 Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and
is therefore unenforceable.

Additionally, at April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under
control for the development of 2,164 units with a total budgeted development
cost of $137.5 million. The term "in planning" means that construction is
anticipated to commence within 12 months. The term "under control" means that
ATLANTIC has an exclusive right (through contingent contract or letter of
intent) during a contractually agreed-upon time period to acquire land for
future development of multifamily communities, subject to removal of
contingencies during the due diligence process, but does not currently own the
land. There can be no assurance that such land will be acquired. The unit and
total budgeted development cost information for these communities is based on
management's best estimates of the cost upon completion of these communities.

(1) For the period from inception (October 26, 1993) to December 31, 1993.
(2) At May 9, 1997, ATLANTIC had $228.3 million of outstanding borrowings
under its $350 million unsecured line of credit and such outstanding
borrowings are expected to be approximately $ million at the closing
of the Offering.
(3) ATLANTIC believes that funds from operations is helpful in understanding a
property portfolio in that such calculation reflects cash flow from
operating activities and the properties' ability to support interest
payments. 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 earnings 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 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 ATLANTIC's
financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Prospectus.

The statements contained in this discussion and elsewhere in this Prospectus
that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange
Act. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations,
estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which ATLANTIC
operates, management's beliefs and assumptions made by management. Words such
as "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "plans", "believes", "seeks",
"estimates", variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to
identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees
of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions
which are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may
differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking
statements. ATLANTIC undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise. ATLANTIC's operating results depend primarily on income from
multifamily communities, 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 communities. Capital and credit
market conditions which affect ATLANTIC's cost of capital also influence
operating results.

OVERVIEW

Since its inception on October 26, 1993 and through March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC
has amassed a portfolio of 25,808 multifamily units with a total expected
investment cost of $1.38 billion located in the southeastern United States.
Additionally, at March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had land in planning and under
control for the development of 2,332 units with a total budgeted development
cost of $137.5 million. ATLANTIC's investment in real estate has been financed
through both debt and equity. From inception through March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC
has raised approximately $806.2 million in net equity, primarily through
private and public sales of Shares. Additionally, ATLANTIC had long-term
mortgage debt at March 31, 1997 of approximately $155.4 million which is
secured by certain of the communities acquired. ATLANTIC's $350 million
unsecured line of credit provided the remaining investment capital.

The following table summarizes ATLANTIC's multifamily investment activity
for the first three months of 1997 and for the years ended December 31, 1996,
1995 and 1994 (dollar amounts in thousands):

(1) For operating communities, represents cost, including budgeted
renovations. For communities under construction, represents total 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.

In addition to its multifamily investment activity, ATLANTIC developed
extended-stay lodging facilities known as Homestead Village that were sold to
Homestead, a newly formed company, in 1996, as discussed below in "--Liquidity
and Capital Resources--Investing and Financing Activities--Homestead
Transaction". ATLANTIC's investment, at cost, in Homestead Village properties
was $2.6 million at December 31, 1995. ATLANTIC did not begin developing
Homestead Village properties until 1995.

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. Management of expense levels also influence operating
results. Over the past two years, rental expenses (other than real estate
taxes) as a percentage of rental revenues for multifamily communities have
generally remained flat due to a continual effort to reduce resident turnover.
Over the next few years, expenses are expected to increase at a rate slightly
lower than increases in rental revenue.

ATLANTIC believes that development of multifamily communities from the
ground up, which are built for long-term ownership and 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,

66
<PAGE>

ATLANTIC has acquired and will continue to acquire, on an unleveraged basis,
prudent amounts of land zoned for multifamily development. ATLANTIC believes
its ability to compete is significantly enhanced relative to other companies
because of the REIT Manager's depth of development and acquisition personnel
and presence in local markets combined with ATLANTIC's access to investment
capital.

ATLANTIC's overall results of operations and financial condition for the
first three months of 1997 and for 1996, 1995 and 1994 have been significantly
influenced by this investment activity. Detailed information about this
investment activity, which will significantly influence future operations, is
provided below.

Current Development Activity

At March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had 5,395 units under construction, representing
a total expected investment cost of $335.6 million. These development
communities are summarized below (dollar amounts in thousands):

interest and property taxes to be capitalized during the construction
period.
(2) The percentage leased is based on total units upon completion.
(3) A development community is considered in "lease-up" once ATLANTIC begins
leasing completed units.

There are risks associated with ATLANTIC's development and construction
activities which include: development and acquisition opportunities explored by
ATLANTIC may be abandoned; construction costs of a community may exceed
original estimates due to increased materials, labor or other expenses, which
could make completion of the community uneconomical; occupancy rates and rents
at a newly completed community are dependent on a number of factors, including
market and general economic conditions, and may not be sufficient to make the
community profitable; financing may not be available on favorable terms for the
development of a community; and construction and lease-up may not be completed
on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction
costs. Development activities are also subject to risks relating to the
inability to obtain, or delays in obtaining, all necessary land-use, building,
occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations. The
occurrence of any of the events described above could adversely affect
ATLANTIC's ability to achieve its projected yields on communities under
development or redevelopment.

Acquisition Activity

ATLANTIC completed the acquisition of $171.7 million of operating
communities, representing a total of 3,556 units, during the fifteen-month
period ended March 31, 1997. These acquisitions are summarized below (dollar

Acquisitions entail risks that investments will fail to perform in accordance
with expectations and that judgments with respect to the cost of improvements
to bring an acquired community up to standards established for the market
position intended for that community will prove inaccurate, as well as general
investment risks associated with any new real estate investment. Although
ATLANTIC undertakes an evaluation of the physical condition of each new
community before it is acquired, certain defects or necessary repairs may not
be detected until after the community is acquired, which could significantly
increase ATLANTIC's total acquisition costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net earnings for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were
$10.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively. Net earnings increased $3.5
million in the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 over the three-month
period ended March 31, 1996. Net earnings for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 were $38.6 million, $19.6 million and $9.9 million,
respectively. Net earnings increased $19.0 million in 1996 over 1995 and $9.7
million in 1995 over 1994.

Property Operations--Three-month period ended March 31, 1997

At March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had 19,241 operating multifamily units as
compared to 16,159 operating multifamily units at March 31, 1996. The increased
number of communities in operation resulted in increases in rental income ($8.9
million in 1997 over 1996), rental expenses ($1.5 million in 1997 over 1996),
real estate taxes ($0.7 million in 1997 over 1996), property management fees
($0.4 million in 1997 over 1996) and depreciation ($1.3 million in 1997 over
1996).

During the period prior to a community being stabilized, the REIT Manager and
the property managers begin implementing expense controls, reconfiguring the
resident mix, supervising renovations and implementing a strategy to increase
rental income. The full benefits of the changes are not reflected until the
communities are stabilized. At March 31, 1997, 19.0% of ATLANTIC's operating
multifamily communities, based on total expected investment cost, were
classified as pre-stabilized as compared to 30.0% at March 31, 1996.

68
<PAGE>

Because ATLANTIC will be completing construction on its current development
portfolio and acquiring additional operating communities in its target market,
ATLANTIC anticipates increases in rental income and property-level expenses in
subsequent periods.

Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased by $4.6 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in
1996 principally due to the increased number of communities in operation.

Property Operations--Years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994

At December 31, 1996, ATLANTIC had 19,241 operating multifamily units as
compared to 15,823 operating multifamily units at December 31, 1995 and 11,990
operating multifamily units at December 31, 1994. The increased number of
communities in operation resulted in increases in rental income ($34.1 million
in 1996 over 1995 and $48.6 million in 1995 over 1994), rental expenses ($9.0
million in 1996 over 1995 and $12.6 million in 1995 over 1994), real estate
taxes ($2.7 million in 1996 over 1995 and $4.0 million in 1995 over 1994),
property management fees ($1.1 million in 1996 over 1995 and $1.9 million in
1995 over 1994) and depreciation ($4.9 million in 1996 over 1995 and $7.2
million in 1995 over 1994).

As a result of high levels of acquisitions of operating communities since
inception, 26.7% of ATLANTIC's operating multifamily communities, based on
total expected investment cost, were classified as pre-stabilized at December
31, 1996 as compared to 25.7% at December 31, 1995 and 94.7% at December 31,
1994.

Cash provided by operating activities was $54.4 million in 1996, an increase
of $14.6 million from the 1995 level of $39.7 million. Cash provided by
operating activities in 1995 increased by $16.2 million from the 1994 level.
These increases are primarily the result of the increased number of
communities in operation.

Communities Fully Operating Throughout Both Periods

The following table presents the operating performance of ATLANTIC's 50
"same store" communities that were fully operational throughout the first
quarter of 1997 and 1996 and the 34 "same store" communities that were fully
operational throughout 1996 and 1995. Operating expenses and net operating
income have been adjusted for pre-stabilized versus stabilized accounting
differences that result from capitalizing certain costs during the period
after acquisition when a community is being repositioned and is classified as
pre-stabilized and expensing those costs once repositioning is completed and
the community is classified as stabilized. A summary of the same store
communities in 1996 is as follows:

(1) Compares the year ended December 31, 1996 to the year ended December 31,
1995.
(2) ATLANTIC entered this market subsequent to January 1, 1995; therefore,
there are no communities for the same store comparison.

At January 1, 1994, ATLANTIC's portfolio consisted of only three pre-
stabilized operating communities and, consequently, comparisons for fully
operational communities between 1995 and 1994 are not meaningful.

Development Dilution

ATLANTIC's development activity is dilutive to net earnings and funds from
operations in the short term, but is expected to add significantly to
ATLANTIC's long-term performance as the developments reach stabilization in
1997 and subsequent years.

During the construction period, the reduction to interest expense resulting
from the capitalization of interest on units under construction is less than
the operating income which could be earned on those expenditures if the
community were complete and earning a stabilized return, thus resulting in
dilution. Essentially, the return on investment during the construction period
is equivalent to ATLANTIC's cost of funds.

The lease-up phase commences when units are placed in service. During the
lease-up phase, ATLANTIC's policy is to expense operating expenses (including
pre-opening marketing expenses) and interest expense which during the
construction period is capitalized. The operating expenses and the interest
expense on such completed units will typically exceed rental revenues, due to
less than break-even occupancy, thus resulting in dilution in the form of a
"lease-up" deficit. These deficits are typically experienced for a period of
two to four months after "first units" are placed in service.

Development dilution begins to decline once occupancy increases and revenues
from completed units exceed the operating expenses and interest expense
associated with such completed units. However, the net operating income
generated during this pre-stabilized period is less than the net operating
income which would be earned if the community were stabilized. The time
required to achieve stabilization generally ranges from six to twelve months
after completion of construction.

Homestead Convertible Mortgages Interest Income

ATLANTIC began funding the Homestead convertible mortgages in 1997. At March
31, 1997 ATLANTIC had funded $20.0 million of its total funding commitment to
Homestead of $111.1 million. For the three-month

71
<PAGE>

period ended March 31, 1997 ATLANTIC recognized interest income related to
these mortgages of $185,000. The interest income will increase as ATLANTIC
funds the remaining Homestead Convertible Mortgages in 1997 and early 1998.

The aggregate income recognized on the Homestead Convertible Mortgages
cosists of (i) the interest income recognized at 9% per annum, (ii) the
amortization of the original issue premium which reduces income, (iii) the
amortization of the discount on the conversion feature which increases income,
and (iv) the amortization of the deferred commitment fee which increases
income. ATLANTIC uses the effective interest method to calculate the
amortization of all items associated with the Homestead Convertible Mortgages.
The effective interest rate on the funded amount is 8.46% per annum for
purposes of calculating net earnings. The amortization of the discount on the
conversion feature and the amortization of the deferred commitment fee are
deducted from net earnings in calculating funds from operations. The effective
interest rate on the funded amount is 7.09% per annum for purposes of
calculating funds from operations.

Interest Expense

The following summarizes ATLANTIC's interest expense (in thousands):

======= ======= ======== ======= ======
</TABLE>

Mortgage interest expense increased $0.6 million in the three-month period
ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. Mortgage interest
expense increased $1.8 million in 1996 as compared to 1995 and $4.3 million in
1995 as compared to 1994. These increases are the result of additional
weighted-average mortgage debt outstanding.

Line of credit interest expense increased $0.3 million in the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997 over the same period in 1996. This increase is
primarily a function of an increase in the average outstanding balance ($260.9
million in 1997 as compared to $203.3 million in 1996), partially offset by a
lower weighted-average daily interest rate (7.10% in 1997 as compared to 7.61%
in 1996). The increase is further offset by a decrease in amortization of debt
issuance costs and other loan-related costs as a result of the write-off of
loan-related costs in the fourth quarter of 1996. Line of credit interest
expense increased $1.2 million in 1996 over 1995 and $9.1 million in 1995 over
1994. The increase in 1996 is primarily a function of an increase in the
average outstanding balance ($204.3 million in 1996 as compared to $178.3
million in 1995) partially offset by a lower weighted-average daily interest
rate (7.39% in 1996 as compared to 7.92% in 1995). The increase in 1995 is
primarily a function of an increase in the average outstanding balance ($178.3
million in 1995 as compared to $65.6 million in 1994) and a higher weighted-
average daily interest rate (7.92% in 1995 as compared to 7.34% in 1994). The
increases were also affected by amortization of issuance costs and other loan-
related costs.

The increase in interest expense in the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 over the same period in 1996 is also offset by increases in capitalized
interest of $0.5 million. The increases in interest expense in 1996 over 1995
were offset by increases in capitalized interest of $5.8 million in 1996 over
1995 and $3.6 million in 1995 over 1994. These increases in capitalized
interest are the result of ATLANTIC's increased development activity.

REIT Management Fee Paid to Affiliate

The REIT management fee paid by ATLANTIC increased by $0.9 million in the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.
The REIT Management fee paid by ATLANTIC

72
<PAGE>

increased by $3.5 million in 1996 over 1995 and $3.2 million in 1995 over
1994. Because the REIT Management fee fluctuates with the level of ATLANTIC's
cash flow calculated before the REIT Management fee, these increases are
expected based upon the larger increases in revenues than expenses experienced
by ATLANTIC. In the future, interest income recognized on the convertible
mortgage notes received by ATLANTIC pursuant to the funding commitment
agreement entered into as part of the Homestead transaction will not be
included in the calculation of the REIT Management fee to be paid by ATLANTIC.
Because this interest income is not included in cash flow for purposes of
calculating the REIT Management fee, the REIT Management fee calculated as a
percentage of ATLANTIC's funds from operations will decline as the convertible
mortgage notes are funded and the related interest income increases. See "The
Merger Transaction" for information regarding a proposed merger transaction
which would result in ATLANTIC becoming an internally managed REIT with
Security Capital remaining as ATLANTIC's largest shareholder.

Gains on Dispositions and Valuation of Long-Lived Investments

ATLANTIC's strategy is to build its asset base through the development and
acquisition of multifamily communities 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. ATLANTIC's "asset optimization
strategy" is based on market research and is aimed at optimizing its portfolio
composition. Under this strategy, ATLANTIC may from time to time dispose of
assets that no longer meet its long-term investment objectives and redeploy
the proceeds therefrom, preferably through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets
with better prospects for growth. As a result of this asset optimization
strategy, ATLANTIC disposed of four operating communities aggregating 1,184
units in 1996. A gain was recognized on each disposition with the total gain
aggregating $6.7 million on total proceeds of $67.2 million. ATLANTIC did not
dispose of any communities in the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. As
discussed below, one community was disposed of subsequent to March 31, 1997.

The four communities that were disposed of in 1996 accounted for $3.6
million and $5.2 million of net operating income during 1996 and 1995,
respectively. Each disposition was included in a tax-deferred exchange. At
December 31, 1996, ATLANTIC held a portion of the proceeds from one of these
dispositions aggregating $1.7 million in an interest-bearing escrow account.
These funds were used in the acquisition of a land parcel in January 1997,
completing the tax-deferred exchange. Two communities that ATLANTIC disposed
of in 1995 accounted for $2.4 million of net operating income during 1995.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The
Impairment Of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by ATLANTIC effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain long-lived assets to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell. ATLANTIC did not recognize any losses on the date it adopted
SFAS No. 121.

Long-lived investments held and used are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As of
March 31, 1997, such investments are carried at cost, which is not in excess
of fair market value and no provisions for possible losses have been made.
ATLANTIC recognized a provision for possible loss of $0.2 million in the
three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and $2.5 million in 1996 associated
with a community that was being held for sale on December 31, 1996. ATLANTIC
disposed of this community in April 1997. The sales price approximated
ATLANTIC's carrying value at March 31, 1997. This community accounted for $0.2
million of net operating income for each of the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996. This community accounted for $1.0 million, $1.0
million and $0.5 million of net operating income for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This income is included in ATLANTIC's earnings from operations
in those years.

Homestead Transaction

As more fully described under "--Liquidity and Capital Resources--Homestead
Transaction" and "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Homestead
Transaction", ATLANTIC sold its Homestead Village properties (one operating
property and 25 properties under construction or in planning (or the rights to
acquire such properties)) and paid $16.6 million in cash to Homestead on
October 17, 1996 in exchange for 4,201,220 shares of Homestead common stock.
ATLANTIC recognized a gain on the transaction of $2.8 million, net of expenses
of $1.3 million. The Homestead transaction was treated as a sale for financial
accounting purposes, but was treated as a contribution for tax purposes.

Extraordinary Item--Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

In December 1996, ATLANTIC replaced its existing secured line of credit with
an unsecured line of credit. Such early extinguishment of debt resulted in the
write-off of unamortized loan costs of $3.9 million and is reflected as an
extraordinary item in the statement of earnings for the year ended December 31,
1996.

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 community 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 communities
that is likely to have a material adverse effect on ATLANTIC's financial
position or results of operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

ATLANTIC considers its liquidity and ability to generate cash from operations
and financings to be adequate and expects it to continue to be adequate to meet
ATLANTIC's development, acquisition, operating, debt service, Homestead
commitment and shareholder distribution requirements.

Investing and Financing Activities

Overview. ATLANTIC's investment activities, which consisted primarily of
acquiring and developing multifamily communities, used approximately $69.4
million and $41.5 million of cash during the first three months of 1997 and
1996, respectively. ATLANTIC's investment activities used approximately $287.4
million, $235.1 million and $390.1 million of cash for 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

ATLANTIC's financing activities provided net cash flow of $52.1 million and
$29.2 million for the first three months of 1997 and 1996, respectively.
ATLANTIC's activities provided net cash flow of $230.9 million, $195.6 million
and $372.6 million for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No equity offerings
were conducted in the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. Proceeds of $0.4
million were received in the three-month period ended March 31, 1996. Combined
proceeds from equity offerings of $229.1 million in 1996, $205.8 million in
1995 (net of Share repurchases) and $239.7 million in 1994 were the primary
source of financing funds. Proceeds from line of credit borrowings, net of
repayments, were $67.3 million and $36.0 million for the first three months of
1997 and 1996, respectively, and such proceeds were $38.0 million in 1996,
$37.0 million in 1995 and $153.0 million in 1994.

ATLANTIC expects to finance construction, development and acquisition of
multifamily communities primarily with cash on hand, borrowings under its line
of credit and cash from future securities offerings. After it has achieved a
substantial equity base and an investment-grade debt rating, ATLANTIC intends
to arrange fully amortizing, fixed rate, 15-year to 25-year unsecured debt to
finance additional acquisitions and developments. ATLANTIC believes that its
current conservative ratio of long-term debt to total long-term

74
<PAGE>

undepreciated book capitalization (which was 16.9% at March 31, 1997 on an
historical basis and 15.1% on a pro forma basis) 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.

1994 Investing and Financing Activities. ATLANTIC's investment strategy in
1994 focused on two components: the acquisition of a substantial base of
existing operating communities to provide operating cash flow and the creation
of an internal development process. During 1994, ATLANTIC acquired 40
operating communities, 31 of which were obtained in two large portfolio
acquisitions. These 40 communities, located in 14 metropolitan areas, added
11,307 units to the portfolio for a total of 11,990 operating units. See the
table of investment activity under "--Overview" above.

ATLANTIC's investment in real estate during 1994 of approximately $600.3
million was financed through a combination of debt and equity. As partial
payment for one of the portfolio acquisitions, ATLANTIC issued $100.0 million
in Shares to the seller of the portfolio and subsequently repurchased certain
of these Shares with proceeds from later equity offerings. Sales of Shares
through a private placement raised an additional $239.7 million. Existing debt
of $107.5 million associated with certain of the communities acquired was
assumed by ATLANTIC. Additionally, ATLANTIC had net borrowings on its line of
credit during 1994 of $153.0 million.

1995 Investing and Financing Activities. In 1995, ATLANTIC acquired existing
communities aggregating 3,961 units and disposed of two communities
aggregating 596 units. Also in 1995, ATLANTIC began construction on 2,214
multifamily 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. See the table of investment activity under "--Overview" above.

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
communities in 1995, ATLANTIC assumed $24.7 million in existing debt.
Additional borrowings on its line of credit during 1995 aggregated $37.0
million.

1996 Investing and Financing Activities. In 1996, ATLANTIC acquired
operating communities aggregating 3,556 units and disposed of four communities
aggregating 1,184 units. Also in 1996, ATLANTIC began construction on 2,815
multifamily units. In 1996, ATLANTIC completed construction on three
internally developed multifamily communities (1,046 units), bringing the total
of completed internally developed multifamily communities to five (1,514
units). See the table of investment activity under "--Overview" above.

During 1996, ATLANTIC's net additional investment in real estate was $268.3
million bringing its total real estate investment at December 31, 1996 to
$1.16 billion. Sales of Shares generated the largest source of capital in
1996.

In 1996, ATLANTIC raised net proceeds of $119.1 million from a private
placement of Shares. The private placement, which began in 1995, raised a
total of $249.3 million, net of commissions and other expenses.

ATLANTIC's initial public offering of Shares was completed on October 18,
1996. The proceeds from the sale, net of the underwriters' commissions and
other expenses, were $110.0 million.

In connection with the acquisition of certain communities in 1996, ATLANTIC
assumed $17.9 million in existing debt. Additional borrowings on the line of
credit during 1996 aggregated $38.0 million.

First Quarter 1997 Investing and Financing Activities.

ATLANTIC's investment activities during the three-month period ended March
31, 1997, which consisted primarily of acquiring and developing multifamily
communities, used $69.4 million of cash, an increase of $27.8 million over the
three-month period ended March 31, 1996.

75
<PAGE>

ATLANTIC began construction on 668 multifamily units during the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997. ATLANTIC's net additional investment in real
estate at March 31, 1997 was $51.0 million bringing its total real estate
investment at cost to $1.21 billion. During the three-month period ended March
31, 1997, ATLANTIC funded $20.0 million under its funding commitment agreement
with Homestead. At April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC had unfunded commitments of $79.1
million under its funding commitment agreement with Homestead.

At April 30, 1997, ATLANTIC had 5,011 units under construction with a total
budgeted development cost of $315.1 million of which $86.2 million was
unfunded. In addition, ATLANTIC owned multifamily developments in planning at
April 30, 1997 aggregating 1,172 units located in various target market cities
with a total budgeted development cost of $74.5 million. ATLANTIC's
multifamily developments under control at April 30, 1997 aggregated 2,164
units with a total budgeted development cost of $137.5 million. The foregoing
developments are subject to a number of conditions and ATLANTIC cannot predict
with certainty that any of them will be consummated.

ATLANTIC's financing activities provided net cash flow of $52.1 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and $29.2 million for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1996. In 1997, ATLANTIC's financing activities
consisted primarily of borrowings on its line of credit of $67.3 million, net
of repayments. In 1996, borrowings on the line of credit of $36.0 million net
of repayments were the primary source of financing funds. At May 9, 1997,
ATLANTIC had outstanding borrowings of $228.3 million on its $350 million line
of credit.

ATLANTIC completed an underwritten public offering of 4,000,000 Shares on
April 10, 1997 which generated $80.5 million of proceeds, net of commissions
and offering expenses and will close on the overallotment option on May 14,
1997, raising additional net proceeds of $1.5 million from the sale of 77,200
Shares. The Shares were sold at a price of $21.50 per Share.

Homestead Transaction. On October 17, 1996, ATLANTIC sold its moderate-
priced, purpose-built, extended-stay lodging facilities known as Homestead
Village properties to Homestead. In the transaction, ATLANTIC sold one
operating property and 25 properties under construction or in planning (or the
rights to acquire such properties) and paid $16.6 million in cash (the
"Homestead Assets"). In addition, ATLANTIC entered into a funding commitment
agreement to provide secured financing of up to $111.1 million to Homestead
for purposes of completing the development and construction of the properties
sold in the transaction. The Homestead transaction was treated as a sale for
financial accounting purposes, but was treated as a contribution for tax
purposes.

The transaction resulted in ATLANTIC receiving 4,201,220 shares of common
stock of Homestead in exchange for the Homestead Assets and 2,818,517
warrants, each to purchase one share of Homestead common stock at $10.00 per
share, in exchange for entering into the funding commitment agreement. On
November 12, 1996, ATLANTIC distributed the Homestead common stock and
warrants to its shareholders of record on October 29, 1996. ATLANTIC
shareholders received 0.110875 shares of Homestead common stock and 0.074384
Homestead warrants per Share. ATLANTIC will receive up to $98.0 million of
convertible mortgage notes from Homestead in exchange for funding up to $111.1
million under the funding commitment agreement. The difference between the
amounts funded and the convertible mortgage notes received of $13.1 million
(assuming full funding of the funding commitment) represents a mortgage note
premium that will be amortized as a reduction to interest income over the term
of the convertible mortgage notes.

ATLANTIC realized a gain of $2.8 million, after deducting expenses
associated with the transaction, representing the excess of the value of the
Homestead common stock received over the recorded basis of the Homestead
Assets. The Homestead warrants received represent a funding commitment fee
which has been valued at $6.5 million. The conversion feature of the
convertible mortgage notes has been valued at $6.9 million (assuming full
funding of the funding commitment). These deferred credits will be amortized
as an increase to interest income over the term of the convertible mortgage
notes. ATLANTIC intends to fund this commitment through cash on hand,
borrowings on its line of credit and sales of securities.

76
<PAGE>

The convertible mortgage notes received from Homestead will bear interest at
9.0% per annum, will be due October 2006, will not be callable until 2001 and
will be convertible commencing March 31, 1997 at the option of the holder into
one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount
outstanding. Upon full funding of ATLANTIC's convertible mortgage notes, its
conversion rights would represent a 15.35% ownership in Homestead (assuming no
further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all convertible mortgage
notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants). The effective yield on the
convertible mortgage notes, assuming conversion of all convertible mortgage
notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants, is estimated to be
approximately 8.46%, after giving effect to the mortgage note premium, the
funding commitment fee and the conversion value of the convertible mortgage
notes. At December 31, 1996, no funds had been advanced pursuant to the
funding commitment agreement and there were no convertible mortgage notes
outstanding. ATLANTIC advanced $35.0 million under the funding commitment
agreement through May 9, 1997 and $30.9 million of mortgage notes was
outstanding on such date.

ATLANTIC will deduct from net earnings the accretion of both the funding
commitment fee and the conversion value of the convertible mortgage notes in
calculating funds from operations. Therefore, the effective yield on the
convertible mortgage notes for purposes of calculating funds from operations
will be approximately 7.09% as compared to 8.46% for purposes of calculating
net earnings.

Line of Credit. ATLANTIC obtained a $200 million secured line of credit from
MGT, as agent for a group of lenders, in June 1994. In June 1996, the line of
credit was increased to $350 million. On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC obtained
a $350 million unsecured line of credit agreement from MGT that replaced the
previous secured line of credit. Borrowings on the unsecured line of credit
bear interest at prime or, at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a margin ranging
from 1.0% to 1.375% (currently 1.375% as compared to 1.5% under the previous
agreement) depending on ATLANTIC's debt rating. ATLANTIC's objective is to
achieve an investment-grade debt rating in 1997. ATLANTIC currently pays a
commitment fee on the average unfunded line of credit balance of 0.1875%. If
ATLANTIC achieves an investment-grade debt rating, the commitment fee on the
average unfunded line of credit balance will range from 0.125% to 0.25% per
annum, depending on the amount of undrawn commitments. The line of credit
matures December 1998 and may be extended for one year with the approval of
MGT and the 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, effectively mitigating a portion of its variable interest rate
exposure. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a fixed interest rate of 7.46% on the $100 million of
borrowings through December 17, 1996 and 7.335% thereafter. A swap agreement
with MGT took effect upon the expiration of the prior swap agreement on
February 5, 1997 and provides for a fixed interest rate of 7.325% on $100
million of borrowings through February 5, 1998. The interest rate that
ATLANTIC pays will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves an investment-grade debt
rating and will range from 6.95% to 7.2% depending on the debt rating
achieved. ATLANTIC paid $0.1 million and $0.3 million more in interest than it
received under the swap agreement during the then three-month period ended
March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, respectively. ATLANTIC is
exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the swap
counterparty; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk of loss is minimal.

All debt incurrences under the line of credit are subject to certain
covenants as more fully described in the loan agreement. Specifically,
distributions for the preceding four quarters, excluding the Homestead
Distribution, may not exceed 95% (97% for distributions made before December
31, 1996) of ATLANTIC's funds from operations (as defined in the credit
agreement) for the preceding four quarters. ATLANTIC is in compliance with all
such covenants.

As of May 9, 1997, $228.3 million of borrowings were outstanding under the
line of credit.

Mortgage Debt. At March 31, 1997, ATLANTIC had approximately $155.4 million
of mortgages payable consisting of approximately $34.0 million of fixed rate
conventional mortgage debt and approximately $121.4

77
<PAGE>

million of mortgages that secure ten tax-exempt bond issues. This long-term
mortgage debt, which is substantially fully amortizing, has a weighted-average
interest rate of 6.97%, and provides ATLANTIC with favorable and conservative
financial leverage on its investment in communities associated with such debt.

Nine of ATLANTIC's ten tax-exempt bond issues have variable interest rates.
All of 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 30-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 result in
ATLANTIC paying interest at a fixed rate of 6.63% on these nine tax-exempt
bond issues.

ATLANTIC's swap agreements related to its tax-exempt variable rate mortgages
are summarized as follows:

(1) Includes the fixed interest rate provided by the swap agreements, annual
fees associated with the swap agreements and credit enhancement agreement
and amortization of capitalized costs associated with 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 ($1.4 million at March 31, 1997).

Distributions

ATLANTIC's current distribution policy is to pay quarterly cash
distributions to shareholders based upon what it considers to be a reasonable
percentage of cash flow. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow
typically will be greater than earnings from operations and net earnings.
Therefore, quarterly cash distributions will be higher than quarterly
earnings, resulting in a reduction to shareholders' equity.

Cash distributions paid on Shares in the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 and the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $0.39 per
Share, $1.65 per Share, $1.60 per Share and $1.20 per Share, respectively.
Additionally in 1996, ATLANTIC made the Homestead Distribution, which was
valued at $58.2 million.

ATLANTIC paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.42 per Share in each of
the first three quarters of 1996. On November 12, 1996, the Homestead
Distribution was made to shareholders of record on October 29, 1996. On
December 16, 1996, in light of the Homestead transaction and ATLANTIC's
initial public offering, ATLANTIC paid a reduced fourth quarter cash
distribution of $0.39 per Share to shareholders of record on December 2, 1996.

ATLANTIC announces the following year's projected annual distribution level
after the Board's annual budget review and approval in December of each year.
At its December 19, 1996 meeting, the Board announced a projected annual
distribution level of $1.56 per Share for 1997 and declared a distribution of
$0.39 per Share for the first quarter of 1997, which was paid on February 19,
1997. On April 22, 1997, the Board declared a distribution of $0.39 per Share
payable on May 27, 1997 to holders of Shares of record on May 12, 1997. The
payment of distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board and is
dependent upon the financial condition and operating results of ATLANTIC.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations represents ATLANTIC's net earnings computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from real estate
transactions, provisions for losses, extraordinary items and depreciation. 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.

In 1996, ATLANTIC sold its Homestead Assets to Homestead, as more fully
described above under "--Homestead Transaction". Management believes that funds
from operations for 1996 and 1995 should be adjusted to reflect the effects of
the Homestead transaction on results of operations in order to be comparable.
Accordingly, the table below also presents pro forma funds from operations,
which have been calculated as if the Homestead transaction had occurred on
January 1, 1995. ATLANTIC did not own any Homestead properties in 1994 and,
therefore, 1994 funds from operations have not been adjusted. Management
believes that the pro forma funds from operations information presented below
provides a more meaningful comparison of 1996 and 1995; however, the pro forma
funds from operations information is unaudited, does not give effect to or
adjust for any other events (such as subsequent acquisitions and dispositions
of communities or subsequent sales of Shares), and is not necessarily
indicative of what actual funds from operations would have been if the
Homestead transaction had occurred on January 1, 1995.

Funds from operations and pro forma funds from operations were as follows

have occurred had the Homestead property that commenced operations in 1996
been sold as of January 1, 1995.
(2) Represents the increase in interest expense due to (i) the reduction in
capitalized interest that would have resulted from the sale of the
Homestead Village properties under development and (ii) the increased

the Homestead transaction, as if these two items had occurred on January 1,
1995.
(3) Represents the decrease in REIT Management fee that would have resulted

Funds from operations should not be considered as an alternative to net
earnings 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. 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
unsecured debt securities, to fund its investment activities. ATLANTIC's policy
is to expense, rather than capitalize, repairs and maintenance, including
carpet and appliance replacements, 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. Therefore, the funds from operations measure presented by
ATLANTIC may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.

REIT Management Agreement

ATLANTIC has a REIT management agreement (the "REIT Management Agreement")
pursuant to which the REIT Manager provides management services to ATLANTIC.
All officers of ATLANTIC are employees of the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC
currently has no employees. The REIT Manager provides both strategic and day-
to-day management of ATLANTIC, including research, investment analysis,
acquisition, development, marketing, disposition of assets, asset management,
due diligence, capital markets, 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, 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 which there were
none in the periods reported). Cash flow does not include (i) realized gains or
losses from dispositions of investments, (ii) interest income from cash
equivalent investments and the Homestead convertible mortgage notes and
dividend and interest income from Atlantic Development Services, (iii)
provisions for possible losses on investments and (iv) extraordinary items.

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 $3.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $10.4 million, $6.9
million and $3.7 million for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

Total real estate operating, interest, general and administrative costs will
increase due to ATLANTIC's larger asset size, as well as unforeseen changes
that 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's assets.

80
<PAGE>

ATLANTIC must 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, independent Director fees and similar
expenses, property management and similar fees paid on behalf of ATLANTIC, and
travel expenses incurred in seeking financing, community acquisitions,
community 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. The REIT Manager is owned by ATLANTIC's largest
shareholder and, consequently, 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 and 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 REIT Management fees will
generally increase or decrease in proportion to cash flow increases or
decreases.

On March 24, 1997, Security Capital and ATLANTIC entered into the Merger
Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Security Capital will cause the
REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services to be merged into a newly formed
subsidiary of ATLANTIC. The REIT Management Agreement will be terminated upon
closing of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, the employees of the REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services will become employees of ATLANTIC. See "The
Merger Transaction" for a more complete description of the Merger.

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN ACTIVITIES

The following policies are in effect for ATLANTIC and the REIT Manager.
These policies will continue in effect after the consummation of the Merger.
To the extent these policies refer to the REIT Manager, they will be changed
to include ATLANTIC or eliminated, as appropriate.

The Board reserves the right to make exceptions to ATLANTIC's policies
described below for transactions when it believes that the transaction is in
the best long-term interests of ATLANTIC and its shareholders. The Board may
amend or revise ATLANTIC's policies from time to time without a vote of the
shareholders of ATLANTIC.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

Prospective community 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 decisions are based upon the expected contribution of the community
to long-term cash flow growth on an unleveraged basis. The expected economic
contribution is based on an evaluation of a community's stabilized operations,
including an estimate of all cash revenues from leases and other revenue
sources, minus expenses incurred in operating the community (including real
estate taxes, insurance, maintenance, turnover costs (such as carpet and
appliance replacement), 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

81
<PAGE>

connection with the development of multifamily communities that are
contractually required to be sold to ATLANTIC upon completion or convertible
mortgage loans to Homestead or mortgage loans to entities in which ATLANTIC
owns a substantial majority of the economic interest and other than convertible
mortgage loans 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 communities designed for the largest renter groups. Long
term, ATLANTIC believes that development will contribute as much, or more, to
its earnings growth than acquisitions.

While the current policy of ATLANTIC is to make equity investments in
multifamily communities 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 community arising through
convertible mortgage investment.

Subject to the gross income and asset 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 communities (normally, general or limited
partnership interests in special purpose partnerships controlled by ATLANTIC
and owning multifamily communities and except for preferred stock of entities
in which ATLANTIC has a substantial majority of the economic interest).

FINANCING POLICIES

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 unsecured long-term, fixed rate,
fully amortizing debt. ATLANTIC has an unsecured 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 line of credit borrowings with the
proceeds of equity offerings or unsecured long-term, fixed rate, fully
amortizing debt. ATLANTIC's financing policies are to replace line of credit
borrowings with the proceeds of equity offerings or unsecured long-term, fixed
rate, fully amortizing debt. 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).

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 multifamily communities.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICIES

ATLANTIC does not intend to engage in principal transactions with officers
and Directors or to engage independent Directors to provide services to
ATLANTIC. In addition, transactions with the REIT Manager and its affiliates
are significantly restricted and must be reviewed and approved by a majority of
independent Directors. ATLANTIC will not borrow from or make loans to
affiliates, other than mortgage loans to entities in which ATLANTIC owns a
substantial majority of the economic interest, convertible mortgage loans to
Homestead or convertible mortgage loans 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,
ATLANTIC's Charter requires that a majority of the Board be independent
Directors.

82
<PAGE>

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 communities 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 REIT Manager and ATLANTIC have agreed to waive
this prohibition as it relates to the Merger. 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.

ATLANTIC does not intend to issue options or warrants to the REIT Manager or
its employees; however, in the event that the Merger is approved, ATLANTIC
intends to adopt an employee incentive plan under which options may be granted
to employees, subject to Board and shareholder approval. See "The Merger
Transaction".

Under Maryland law (where ATLANTIC is incorporated), each Director is
obligated to offer to ATLANTIC any opportunity (with certain limited
exceptions) which comes to him or her and which ATLANTIC could reasonably be
expected to have an interest in developing. In addition, under Maryland law, a
contract or other transaction between ATLANTIC and a Director or between
ATLANTIC and another corporation or entity in which a Director of ATLANTIC is a
director or has a material financial interest is not void or voidable solely
because of such interest or the presence of the Director at the meeting at
which the contract or transaction is approved or the Director's vote in favor
thereof, if (a) the contract or transaction is approved or ratified, after
disclosure of the common directorship or interest, by the affirmative vote of a
majority of disinterested Directors, even if the disinterested Directors
constitute less than a quorum, or by a majority of the votes cast by
disinterested stockholders, or (b) the contract or transaction is fair and
reasonable to ATLANTIC.

POLICIES WITH RESPECT TO OTHER ACTIVITIES

ATLANTIC may, but does not presently intend to, make investments other than
as previously described. All investments will be primarily related to
multifamily communities 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; however, in the event that the
Merger is approved, ATLANTIC may (i) adopt an employee incentive plan, under
which loans may be made to employees to purchase Shares, subject to Board and
shareholder approval, and (ii) make relocation and other loans to employees,
subject to Board approval. See "The Merger Transaction". 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 communities 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 communities.
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 Security Capital,
which currently beneficially owns 51.4% of the outstanding Shares (51.4% after
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
community 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 $3.0 million for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1997 and $10.4 million for the year ended December
31, 1996. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations--REIT Management Agreement". See "The Merger Transaction"
for a description of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into with Security
Capital to merge the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly-formed
subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares. The REIT Management Agreement
will be terminated upon closing of the Merger.

SECURITY CAPITAL INVESTOR AGREEMENT

ATLANTIC and Security Capital are parties to an Investor Agreement, dated as
of October 28, 1993 (the "Investor Agreement"), which required Security Capital
to purchase $21.5 million in Shares, subject to certain conditions. The
Investor Agreement, among other things, requires ATLANTIC to obtain Security
Capital'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 or sale price exceeds $5
million. The Investor Agreement also provides that, so long as Security Capital
beneficially owns at least 10% of the outstanding Shares, ATLANTIC is
prohibited from increasing the number of members of the Board to more than
seven. Security Capital is entitled to designate one or more persons to be
nominated for election to the Board, and ATLANTIC is obligated to use its best
efforts to cause the election of such persons, as follows: (i) so long as
Security Capital Group owns at least 10%, but less than 20%, of the outstanding
Shares, it is entitled to nominate two persons; and (ii) so long as Security
Capital owns at least 20% of the outstanding Shares, it is entitled to nominate
three persons. See "The Merger Transaction--Relationship with Security Capital
After the Merger" for a description of the Amended and Restated Investor
agreement which will replace the current Investor Agreement upon closing of the
Merger.

SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT

To facilitate ATLANTIC's acquisition of certain communities from Laing,
Security Capital granted Laing certain rights to require Security Capital to
purchase Laing's Shares at pre-agreed prices. ATLANTIC assumed Security
Capital's first put obligation for 2,500,000 Shares and on March 31, 1995
purchased such Shares from Laing at $22.00 per Share. In exchange for
ATLANTIC's assumption of the first put obligation, Security Capital purchased
$94.8 million of Shares at $22.00 per Share from ATLANTIC in a private
offering. In November 1995, ATLANTIC assumed Security Capital's second put
obligation for 1,250,000 Shares at $23.136 per Share. In exchange for
ATLANTIC's assumption of the second put obligation, Security Capital purchased
1,250,000 Shares at a price of $23.136 per Share and purchased an additional
$21.1 million of Shares at $23.00 per Share in a private offering. Security
Capital's purchase under the third put obligation of 1,250,000 Shares
(representing all Shares owned by Laing) at $24.53 per Share occurred on July
1, 1996.

84
<PAGE>

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
communities. The agreement terminates September 30, 1997, subject to earlier
termination by ATLANTIC on 30 days' notice, is renewable annually upon approval
of ATLANTIC's independent Directors and contemplates a fee to SCG Realty
Services of 3.5% per annum of community revenues for communities located in
Atlanta and Washington, D.C. markets and 3.75% per annum of community revenues
for all other communities, paid monthly, which was $1.3 million for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1997 and $4.2 million for the year ended December
31, 1996. 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. See "Business--
ATLANTIC's Operating System--Property Management". See "The Merger Transaction"
for a description of an agreement that ATLANTIC has entered into with Security
Capital to merge the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services into a newly formed
subsidiary of ATLANTIC in exchange for Shares. The management agreements
between ATLANTIC and SCG Realty Services will be terminated upon closing of the
Merger.

HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION

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, Security Capital and Homestead entered into a merger
agreement, pursuant to which each of ATLANTIC, PTR and Security Capital agreed
to sell, through a series of merger transactions, all of their respective
assets relating to Homestead Village properties to Homestead, and ATLANTIC and
PTR agreed to enter into funding commitment agreements (see "--Funding
Commitment Agreement"). ATLANTIC's and PTR's respective shareholders approved
the Homestead transaction on September 13, 1996 and September 12, 1996,
respectively, and the closing of the Homestead transaction occurred on October
17, 1996, which resulted 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, (c) owning up to $98.0 million in convertible
mortgage notes as described below (see "--Funding Commitment Agreement") and
(d) providing a cash payment of $16.6 million to Homestead on the closing date.
The $16.6 million payment was required because ATLANTIC's Homestead Village
properties, only one of which was operating, were in earlier stages of
development than PTR's Homestead Village properties, therefore, ATLANTIC had
not funded the same percentage of total costs as PTR. The payment also assured
that ATLANTIC received all of its shares of Homestead common stock at the
closing of the transaction rather than in smaller increments over time as funds
are expended to complete the properties contributed by ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC
distributed the Homestead common stock and warrants which it received to its
shareholders pro rata in the Homestead Distribution on November 12, 1996. Each
holder of record of a Share on October 29, 1996 received 0.110875 shares of
Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase 0.074384 shares of Homestead
common stock.

FUNDING COMMITMENT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to a funding commitment agreement entered into at the closing of the
Homestead transaction, ATLANTIC agreed to make mortgage loans to Homestead of
up to $111.1 million, which amount was anticipated to be sufficient to complete
the development of the Homestead Village facilities contributed by ATLANTIC.
ATLANTIC received 2,818,517 warrants, each to purchase one share of Homestead
common stock, in exchange for its entering into the funding commitment
agreement, which ATLANTIC subsequently distributed pro rata to its shareholders
in the Homestead Distribution. Each Homestead warrant is exercisable at $10.00
per share and expires October 27, 1997. The exercise price was determined based
on the overall structure of the Homestead transaction and, in particular,
considering Homestead's future capital needs and a desire to provide liquidity
to ATLANTIC's shareholders with respect to their warrants. ATLANTIC will
receive convertible mortgage notes in respect of fundings under the funding
commitment agreement in stated amounts of up to $98.0 million. 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

85
<PAGE>

will be recorded for financial reporting purposes at a premium of approximately
$13.1 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
Security Capital in Homestead were determined based upon the relative value of
the contributed assets assuming that all of the properties to be contributed
had been developed and were fully operational. ATLANTIC agreed to fund
convertible mortgages to provide for the development of the Homestead Village
properties and to achieve its ownership allocations. The funded amount of
ATLANTIC under the convertible mortgages therefore was in an amount that was
anticipated, pursuant to development budgets, to be sufficient to complete the
development of the Homestead Village properties contributed by ATLANTIC. The
difference between the funded amount and the stated amount of the convertible
mortgage loans arose because the rate of return on the existing Homestead
Village facilities contributed by PTR was projected to exceed the rate of
return on the Homestead Village facilities contributed by ATLANTIC and PTR to
Homestead which were under construction or in pre-development planning. This
expected difference in the rates of return arose because, as of July 1, 1996,
PTR was expected to have 28 Homestead Village facilities in operation and
generating income, while ATLANTIC was expected to have none and the average
property development costs for the existing PTR Homestead Village properties,
on balance, were expected to be less than those for the ATLANTIC and PTR
Homestead Village properties projected to be built in the future because a
large portion of the existing PTR Homestead Village properties were in planning
or under development during 1992 and 1993 when land prices and construction
costs were less than they were when the transaction was negotiated and were
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) to each of ATLANTIC (8.46% on a fully
funded basis) and PTR (12.42% on a fully funded basis) that was reflective of
the relative rates of return anticipated to be realized on all of the
facilities contributed by ATLANTIC and PTR, respectively. The obligation of
ATLANTIC is limited to a specific dollar amount for each property identified in
the funding commitment agreement. Upon any determination by Homestead to
commence development of a property identified in the funding commitment
agreement, Homestead is required to notify ATLANTIC and ATLANTIC 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 the funding commitment agreement
is 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
obligation of ATLANTIC to provide funding for, the mortgage loans expire on
March 31, 1998, except with respect to properties for which Homestead has given
notice that it intends to develop. Interest on the mortgage notes accrues at
the rate of 9% per annum on the unpaid principal balance, payable every six
months. The mortgage notes are scheduled to mature on October 31, 2006, and are
not callable until October 27, 2001. Homestead has pledged the assets being
contributed by ATLANTIC as collateral for the mortgage loans being made by
ATLANTIC. At December 31, 1996, no funds had been advanced pursuant to the
funding commitment agreement and there were no convertible mortgage notes
outstanding. ATLANTIC advanced $35.0 million under the funding commitment
agreement through May 9, 1997 and $30.9 million of mortgage notes was
outstanding on such date.

PROTECTION OF BUSINESS AGREEMENT

ATLANTIC entered into a protection of business agreement with Homestead at
the closing of the Homestead transaction which prohibits ATLANTIC and its
affiliates from engaging, directly or indirectly, in the extended-stay lodging
business except through Homestead and its subsidiaries. The agreement also
prohibits Homestead from, directly or indirectly, engaging in the ownership,
operation, development, management or leasing of multifamily properties. The
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

86
<PAGE>

the business of such person; (iii) owning the outstanding securities of another
person, a majority-owned subsidiary, division, group, franchise or segment of
which is engaged in owning, operating, developing, managing or leasing
extended-stay lodging properties, so long as not more than 5% of such person's
consolidated revenues are derived from such properties; and (iv) owning
securities of another person primarily engaged in a business other than 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 agreement
does not prohibit Homestead from: (i) owning securities of ATLANTIC, PTR or
Security Capital; (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
agreement will terminate in the event of an acquisition, directly or indirectly
(other than by purchase from ATLANTIC, PTR or Security Capital or any of their
respective affiliates), by any person (or group of associated persons acting in
concert), other than ATLANTIC, PTR or Security Capital 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 October 17, 2006.

HOMESTEAD INVESTOR AGREEMENT

ATLANTIC entered into an investor and registration rights agreement with
Homestead at the closing of the Homestead transaction 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 $20.0 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 Security Capital
pursuant to Security Capital'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 October 22, 1997,
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 communities. In consideration for Hanover's development of these
communities the development agreements provide that ATLANTIC will make certain
earnout payments to Hanover either in the form of cash, Shares or shares of
Security Capital'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, capitalized at a rate as provided by the agreement, exceeds the total
actual project costs. In February 1997, Hanover was paid $0.8 million with
respect to one community. The aggregate amount of such earnout amounts for the
five remaining communities cannot exceed $5.8 million. Hanover was not entitled
to receive any earnout payments at April 30, 1997 on the five remaining
communities.

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 solely as a result of
their status as shareholders. 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--Security Capital 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. ATLANTIC paid no distributions in 1993. ATLANTIC has paid
consecutive distributions of $0.30 per Share for 1994 quarters, $0.40 per Share
for 1995 quarters and $0.42 per Share for the first three quarters of 1996.

89
<PAGE>

On November 12, 1996, the Homestead Distribution was made to holders of
record of Shares on October 29, 1996. On December 16, 1996, in light of the
Homestead transaction and ATLANTIC's initial public offering, ATLANTIC paid a
fourth quarter 1996 distribution of $0.39 per Share. On February 19, 1997,
ATLANTIC paid a distribution of $0.39 per Share. On April 22, 1997, the Board
declared a distribution of $0.39 per Share payable on May 27, 1997 to holders
of Shares of record on May 12, 1997. See "Price Range of ATLANTIC Shares and
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 ATLANTIC's 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 ATLANTIC's 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 ATLANTIC's 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. No shares of preferred stock are outstanding
and ATLANTIC has no present plans to issue any preferred stock other than as
contemplated by the Rights Agreement (as defined below).

PURCHASE RIGHTS

On March 12, 1996, the Board declared a dividend of one Purchase Right for
each Share outstanding at the close of business on March 12, 1996 (the "Rights
Record Date") to the holders of Shares of record as of the Rights Record Date.
The dividend was paid on the Rights Record Date. The holders of any additional
Shares issued after the Rights Record Date and before the redemption or
expiration of the Purchase Rights will also be entitled to one Purchase Right
for each such additional Share. Each Purchase Right entitles the registered
holder under certain circumstances to purchase from ATLANTIC two one-hundredths
of a Participating Preferred Share of ATLANTIC at a price of $40 per one one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share (the "Purchase Price"), subject to
adjustment. The description and terms of the Purchase Rights are set forth in
the Rights Agreement dated as of March 12, 1996 between ATLANTIC and The First
National Bank of Boston, as rights agent (the "Rights Agreement").

The Purchase Rights will be exercisable and will be evidenced by separate
certificates only after the earliest to occur of: (1) 10 business days
following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or
associated persons (excluding Security Capital) 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 Security Capital) 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

90
<PAGE>

indicating an intention to enter into, any transaction or series of
transactions the consummation of which would result in any person (other than
Security Capital) 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 distribution payment of $1.00 per
share but will be entitled to an aggregate distribution of 50 times the
distribution declared per Share. Each Participating Preferred Share will have
50 votes, voting together with the Shares. In the event of liquidation, the
holders of the Participating Preferred Shares will be entitled to a minimum
preferential liquidation payment of $1 per share, plus an amount equal to all
accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, but will be entitled to an aggregate
payment of 50 times the payment made per Share. In the event of any merger,
consolidation or other transaction in which Shares are exchanged, each
Participating Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 50 times the amount
received per Share. In the event of issuance of Participating Preferred Shares
upon exercise of the Purchase Rights, in order to facilitate trading, a
depositary receipt may be issued for each one one-hundredth of a Participating
Preferred Share. The Participating Preferred Shares will be protected by
customary antidilution provisions.

In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons
becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder
of a Purchase Right, other than Purchase Rights beneficially owned by the
Acquiring Person (which will thereafter be void), will thereafter have the
right to receive upon exercise a number of Shares having a market value
(determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of twice the Purchase
Price. In lieu of the issuance of Shares upon exercise of Purchase Rights, the
Board may, under certain circumstances, and if there is an insufficient number
of Shares authorized but unissued to permit the exercise in full of the
Purchase Rights, the Board is required to, take such action as may be necessary
to cause ATLANTIC to issue or pay upon the exercise of Purchase Rights, cash
(including by way of a reduction of purchase price), property, other securities
or any combination of the foregoing having an aggregate value equal to that of
the Shares which otherwise would have been issuable upon exercise of Purchase
Rights.

In the event that, after any person or group becomes an Acquiring Person,
ATLANTIC is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or
50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold, proper
provision will be made so that each holder of a Purchase Right will thereafter
have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then-current
Purchase Price, a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company
having a market value (determined in accordance with the Rights Agreement) of
twice the Purchase Price.

91
<PAGE>

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 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 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

92
<PAGE>

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 Security
Capital (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 ("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 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

93
<PAGE>

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 of ATLANTIC's stock as the Board deems reasonably necessary
to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to a REIT, to determine
ATLANTIC's status as a REIT, to comply with the requirements of any taxing
authority or governmental agency or to determine any such compliance.

These ownership limitations could have the effect of discouraging a takeover
or other transaction in which holders of some, or a majority, of the Shares
might receive a premium for their Shares over the then-prevailing market price
or which such holders might believe to be otherwise in their best interest.

CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF MARYLAND LAW AND OF ATLANTIC'S CHARTER AND BYLAWS

The following paragraphs summarize certain provisions of Maryland law and
ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws. The summary does not purport to be complete and
is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to Maryland law and
ATLANTIC's Charter and Bylaws, copies of which have been incorporated by
reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus
forms a part.

CLASSIFICATION OF THE BOARD

ATLANTIC's Charter provides that the number of Directors may be increased or
decreased from time to time by the vote of a majority of the Board but may not
be less than three. Pursuant to ATLANTIC's Charter, the Directors are divided
into three classes. One class will hold office initially for a term expiring at
the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1997, another class will hold
office initially for a term expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to
be held in 1998 and another class will hold office initially for a term
expiring at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 1999. As the term
of each class expires, Directors in that class will be elected for a term of
three years and until their successors are duly elected and qualify. ATLANTIC
believes that classification of the Board will help to assure the continuity
and stability of ATLANTIC's business strategies and policies as determined by
the Board.

The classified Director provision could have the effect of making the removal
of incumbent Directors more time-consuming and difficult, which could
discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to
obtain control of ATLANTIC, even though such an attempt might be beneficial to
ATLANTIC and its shareholders. At least two annual meetings of shareholders,
instead of one, will generally be required to effect a change in a majority of
the Board. Thus, the classified board provision could increase the likelihood
that incumbent Directors will retain their positions.

DIRECTOR LIABILITY LIMITATION AND INDEMNIFICATION

ATLANTIC's officers and Directors are and will be indemnified under
ATLANTIC's Charter against certain liabilities. ATLANTIC's Charter provides
that ATLANTIC will, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect
from time to time, indemnify and pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in
advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a
present or former Director or officer of ATLANTIC or (b) any individual who,
while a Director of ATLANTIC and at the request of ATLANTIC, serves or has
served another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or any other enterprise as a director, officer, partner or trustee of such
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other
enterprise. ATLANTIC's Charter authorizes ATLANTIC, with the approval of the
Board, to

94
<PAGE>

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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may be permitted to Directors, officers or persons controlling ATLANTIC
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, ATLANTIC has been informed that in the
opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Under Maryland law, certain "business combinations" (including a merger,
consolidation, share exchange, or, in certain circumstances, an asset transfer
or issuance or reclassification of equity securities) between a Maryland
corporation and any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting
power of the corporation's shares or an affiliate of the corporation who, at
any time within the two-year period prior to the date in question, was the
beneficial owner of 10% or more of the voting power of the then-outstanding
voting stock of the corporation (an "Interested Stockholder") or an affiliate
of such an Interested Stockholder are prohibited for five years after the most
recent date on which the Interested Stockholder became an Interested
Stockholder. Thereafter, any such business combination must be recommended by
the board of directors of such corporation and approved by the affirmative vote
of at least (a) 80% of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding
voting shares of the corporation and (b) two-thirds of the votes entitled to be
cast by holders of outstanding voting shares of the corporation other than
shares held by the Interested Stockholder with whom (or with whose affiliate)
the business combination is to be effected, unless, among other things, the
corporation's stockholders receive a minimum price (as defined under Maryland
law) for their shares and the consideration is received in cash or in the same
form as previously paid by the Interested Stockholder for its shares. These
provisions of Maryland law do not apply, however, to business combinations that
are approved or exempted by the board of directors of the corporation prior to
the time that the Interested Stockholder becomes an Interested Stockholder. The
Board has exempted from these provisions of Maryland law any business
combination with

95
<PAGE>

Security Capital and its affiliates and successors. As a result, Security
Capital and its affiliates and successors may be able to enter into business
combinations with ATLANTIC that may not be in the best interests of ATLANTIC's
shareholders without compliance by ATLANTIC with the super-majority vote
requirements and other provisions of the statute.

CONTROL SHARE ACQUISITIONS

Maryland law provides that "Control Shares" of a Maryland corporation
acquired in a "Control Share acquisition" have no voting rights except to the
extent approved by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the
matter, excluding shares of stock owned by the acquiror or by officers or
directors who are employees of the corporation. "Control Shares" are voting
shares of stock which, if aggregated with all other such shares of stock
previously acquired by the acquiror, or in respect of which the acquiror is
able to exercise or direct the exercise of voting power (except solely by
virtue of a revocable proxy), would entitle the acquiror to exercise voting
power in electing directors within one of the following ranges of voting power:
(i) one-fifth or more but less than one-third, (ii) one-third or more but less
than a majority or (iii) a majority of all voting power. Control Shares do not
include shares the acquiring person is then entitled to vote as a result of
having previously obtained stockholder approval. A "Control Share acquisition"
means the acquisition of Control Shares, subject to certain exceptions.

A person who has made or proposes to make a Control Share acquisition, upon
satisfaction of certain conditions (including an undertaking to pay expenses),
may compel the board of directors to call a special meeting of stockholders to
be held within 50 days of demand to consider the voting rights of the shares.
If no request for a meeting is made, the corporation may itself present the
question at any stockholders meeting.

If voting rights are not approved at the meeting or if the acquiring person
does not deliver an acquiring person statement as required by the statute,
then, subject to certain conditions and limitations, the corporation may redeem
any or all of the Control Shares (except those for which voting rights have
previously been approved) for fair value determined, without regard to the
absence of voting rights for the Control Shares, as of the date of the last
Control Share acquisition or of any meeting of stockholders at which the voting
rights of such shares are considered and not approved. If voting rights for
Control Shares are approved at a stockholders meeting and the acquiror becomes
entitled to vote a majority of the shares entitled to vote, all other
stockholders may exercise appraisal rights. The fair value of the shares as
determined for purposes of such appraisal rights may not be less than the
highest price per share paid by the acquiror in the Control Share acquisition.

The Control Share acquisition statute does not apply to shares acquired in a
merger, consolidation or share exchange if the corporation is a party to the
transaction, or to acquisitions approved or exempted by the charter or bylaws
of the corporation.

ATLANTIC's Bylaws contain a provision exempting any and all acquisitions by
Security Capital 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;

96
<PAGE>

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 May 9, 1997, ATLANTIC had 41,891,580 Shares issued and outstanding,
which were held of record by approximately 300 shareholders. Upon completion of
the Offering, ATLANTIC will have 41,891,580 Shares issued and outstanding and
3,000 Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding Options.
ATLANTIC has reserved an additional 97,000 Shares for future issuance upon
exercise of Options under the Outside Directors Plan. See "REIT Management--
Outside Directors Plan". All of the Shares to be issued by ATLANTIC
in the Offering (other than any Shares purchased by affiliates) will be
tradeable without restriction under the Securities Act, along with the
8,940,000 Shares issued in ATLANTIC's October 1996 initial public offering and
April 1997 public offering (other than the 416,666 Shares which were purchased
by Security Capital in the initial public offering and any other Shares which
were purchased by affiliates). The rest of the Shares currently issued and
outstanding or reserved for issuance upon 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 for
at least one year, 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 two 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 Security Capital, which beneficially owns 21,545,669
Shares, the right to demand, at any time, registration of all or any part of
the Shares owned by Security Capital pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities
Act. In addition, ATLANTIC has agreed to file a registration statement (in
October 1997) pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act for up to $50.0
million of Shares on behalf of certain investors who purchased Shares in
ATLANTIC's last private offering. The persons entitled to register their
securities are responsible for all costs and expenses (other than ATLANTIC's
legal, audit and certain accounting fees) incident to any registration of the
type discussed in this paragraph.

No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, that future sales of
Shares or the availability of Shares for future sale will have on the market
price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares
(including Shares issued upon the exercise of options), or the perception that
such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of
the Shares.

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.

97
<PAGE>

Based upon certain representations of ATLANTIC with respect to the facts as
set forth and explained in the discussion below, in the opinion of Mayer, Brown
& Platt, counsel to ATLANTIC, ATLANTIC has been organized in conformity with
the requirements for qualification as a REIT beginning with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1994, and its proposed method of operation described in this
Prospectus and as represented by management will enable it to satisfy the
requirements for such qualification.

This opinion is conditioned upon certain representations made by ATLANTIC as
to certain factual matters relating to ATLANTIC's organization and intended or
expected manner of operation. In addition, this opinion is based on the law
existing and in effect on the date hereof. ATLANTIC's qualification and
taxation as a REIT will depend upon ATLANTIC's ability to meet on a continuing
basis, through actual operating results, asset composition, distribution levels
and diversity of stock ownership, the various qualification tests imposed under
the Code discussed below. Mayer, Brown & Platt will not review compliance with
these tests on a continuing basis. No assurance can be given that ATLANTIC will
satisfy such tests on a continuing basis.

In brief, if certain detailed conditions imposed by the REIT provisions of
the Code are met, entities, such as ATLANTIC, that invest primarily in real
estate and that otherwise would be treated for federal income tax purposes as
corporations, are generally not taxed at the corporate level on their "REIT
taxable income" that is currently distributed to shareholders. This treatment
substantially eliminates the "double taxation" (at both the corporate and
shareholder levels) that generally results from the use of corporations.

If ATLANTIC fails to qualify as a REIT in any year, however, it will be
subject to federal income taxation as if it were a domestic corporation, and
its shareholders will be taxed in the same manner as shareholders of ordinary
corporations. In this event, ATLANTIC could be subject to potentially
significant tax liabilities, and therefore the amount of cash available for
distribution to its shareholders would be reduced or eliminated.

ATLANTIC elected REIT status effective for the taxable year ended December
31, 1994 and the Board currently intends that ATLANTIC will operate in a manner
that permits it to qualify as a REIT in each taxable year thereafter. There can
be no assurance, however, that this expectation will be fulfilled, since
qualification as a REIT depends on ATLANTIC continuing to satisfy numerous
asset, income and distribution tests described below, which in turn will be
dependent in part on ATLANTIC's operating results.

The following summary is based on 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 following summary 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

98
<PAGE>

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, which for this purpose includes certain tax-exempt
entities. Any stock held by a qualified domestic pension or other retirement
trust will be treated as held directly by its beneficiaries in proportion to
their actuarial interest in such trust rather than by such trust. Pursuant to
the constructive ownership rules, Security Capital'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 provides
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.

99
<PAGE>

Gross Income Tests

There are three separate percentage tests relating to the sources of
ATLANTIC's gross income which must be satisfied for each taxable year. For
purposes of these tests, where ATLANTIC invests in a partnership, ATLANTIC will
be treated as receiving its share of the income and loss of the partnership,
and the gross income of the partnership will retain the same character in the
hands of ATLANTIC as it has in the hands of the partnership. The three tests
are as follows:

1. The 75% Test. At least 75% of ATLANTIC's gross income for the taxable
year must be "qualifying income". Qualifying income generally includes: (i)
rents from real property (except as modified below); (ii) interest on
obligations collateralized by mortgages on, or interests in, real property;
(iii) gains from the sale or other disposition of interests in real
property and real estate mortgages, other than gain from property held
primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of ATLANTIC's trade
or business ("dealer property"); (iv) dividends or other distributions on
shares in other REITs, as well as gain from the sale of such shares; (v)
abatements and refunds of real property taxes; (vi) income from the
operation, and gain from the sale, of property acquired at or in lieu of a
foreclosure of the mortgage collateralized by such property ("foreclosure
property"); and (vii) commitment fees received for agreeing to make loans
collateralized by mortgages on real property or to purchase or lease real
property.

Rents received from a resident will not, however, qualify as rents from
real property in satisfying the 75% test (or the 95% gross income test
described below) if ATLANTIC, or an owner of 10% or more of ATLANTIC,
directly or constructively owns 10% or more of such resident. In addition,
if rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease
of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under the
lease, then the portion of rent attributable to such personal property will
not qualify as rents from real property. Moreover, an amount received or
accrued will not qualify as rents from real property (or as interest
income) for purposes of the 75% and 95% gross income tests if it is based
in whole or in part on the income or profits of any person, although an
amount received or accrued generally will not be excluded from "rents from
real property" solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or
percentages of receipts or sales. Finally, for rents received to qualify as
rents from real property, ATLANTIC generally must not operate or manage the
property or furnish or render services to residents, other than through an
"independent contractor" from whom ATLANTIC derives no income, except that
the "independent contractor" requirement does not apply to the extent that
the services provided by ATLANTIC are "usually or customarily rendered" in
connection with the rental of multifamily units for occupancy only, or are
not otherwise considered "rendered to the occupant for his convenience".

2. The 95% Test. In addition to deriving 75% of its gross income from the
sources listed above, at least 95% of ATLANTIC's gross income for the
taxable year must be derived from the above-described qualifying income, or
from dividends, interest or gains from the sale or disposition of stock or
other securities that are not dealer property. Dividends (other than on
REIT shares) and interest on any obligations not collateralized by an
interest in real property are included for purposes of the 95% test, but
not for purposes of the 75% test.

For purposes of determining whether ATLANTIC complies with the 75% and
95% income tests, gross income does not include income from prohibited
transactions. A "prohibited 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.

100
<PAGE>

3. The 30% Test. ATLANTIC must derive less than 30% of its gross income
for each taxable year from the sale or other disposition of: (i) real
property held for less than four years (other than foreclosure property and
involuntary conversions); (ii) stock or securities held for less than one
year; and (iii) property in a prohibited transaction. ATLANTIC does not
anticipate that it will have any substantial difficulty in complying with
this test.

Annual Distribution Requirements

In order to qualify as a REIT, ATLANTIC is required to make distributions
(other than capital gain dividends) to its shareholders each year in an amount
at least equal to (i) the sum of (a) 95% of ATLANTIC's REIT taxable income
(computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and the REIT's net
capital gain) and (b) 95% of the net income (after tax), if any, from
foreclosure property, minus (ii) the sum of certain items of non-cash income.
Such distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate, or in
the following taxable year if declared before ATLANTIC timely files its tax
return for such year and if paid on or before the first regular dividend
payment after such declaration. To the extent that ATLANTIC does not distribute
all of its net capital gain or distributes at least 95%, but less than 100%, of
its REIT taxable income, as adjusted, it will be subject to tax on the
undistributed amount at regular capital gains or ordinary corporate tax rates,
as the case may be.

ATLANTIC intends to make timely distributions sufficient to satisfy the
annual distribution requirements. It is possible that ATLANTIC may not have
sufficient cash or other liquid assets to meet the 95% distribution
requirement, due to timing differences between the actual receipt of income and
actual payment of expenses on the one hand, and the inclusion of such income
and deduction of such expenses in computing ATLANTIC's REIT taxable income on
the other hand. To avoid any problem with the 95% distribution requirement,
ATLANTIC will closely monitor the relationship between its REIT taxable income
and cash flow and, if necessary, intends to borrow funds in order to satisfy
the distribution requirement. However, there can be no assurance that such
borrowing would be available at such time.

If ATLANTIC fails to meet the 95% distribution requirement as a result of an
adjustment to ATLANTIC's tax return by the IRS, ATLANTIC may retroactively cure
the failure by paying a "deficiency dividend" (plus applicable penalties and
interest) within a specified period.

Failure to Qualify

If ATLANTIC fails to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and
the relief provisions do not apply, ATLANTIC will be subject to applicable
federal and state tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its
taxable income at regular corporate rates. Distributions to shareholders 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.

Homestead Mortgages

ATLANTIC holds mortgage notes of Homestead which are convertible into shares
of Homestead common stock. See "Certain Relationships and Transactions--Funding
Commitment Agreement". Pursuant to the terms of the funding commitment
agreement, ATLANTIC funded $1,133,535 for each $1,000,000 of convertible
mortgage loans. Accordingly, ATLANTIC is treated as having acquired the
convertible mortgage loans at a premium which ATLANTIC is 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
constitutes qualified income for purposes of determining whether ATLANTIC meets
the gross income requirements for REIT qualification.

101
<PAGE>

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. 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.

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 "Price Range of ATLANTIC Shares and 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.

102
<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 nonforeign 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., nonresident
aliens and foreign corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates). It is
currently anticipated that ATLANTIC will qualify as a domestically controlled
REIT. Under these circumstances, gain from the sale of the Shares by a foreign
person should not be subject to U.S. taxation, unless such gain is effectively
connected with such person's U.S. business or, in the case of an individual
foreign person, such person is present within the U.S. for more than 182 days
in such taxable year.

Distributions of cash generated by ATLANTIC's real estate operations (but not
by its sale or exchange of such communities) 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

103
<PAGE>

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 EFFECTS OF THE MERGER

General

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax
considerations of the Merger and the Warrant Issuance to ATLANTIC and its
shareholders. The following discussion is based upon the current provisions of
the Code, its legislative history, administrative pronouncements, judicial
decisions and Treasury regulations, all of which are subject to change,
possibly with retroactive effect. The following discussion does not purport to
be a complete discussion of all U.S. federal income tax considerations. The
following discussion does not address the tax consequences of the Merger and
the Warrant Issuance under state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. In addition, the
following discussion may not apply, in whole or in part, to particular
categories of ATLANTIC shareholders, such as dealers in securities, insurance
companies, foreign persons, financial institutions and tax-exempt organizations
(except with regard to "unrelated business taxable income"). THE FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL ATLANTIC SHAREHOLDERS
ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX
CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGER OR WARRANT ISSUANCE, INCLUDING ANY STATE, LOCAL AND
NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

The Merger

In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based on certain representations of
Security Capital and ATLANTIC, the Merger will be treated for federal income
tax purposes as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the
Code. Accordingly, ATLANTIC will not recognize income, gain or loss upon the
consummation of the Merger (assuming that ATLANTIC makes the election described
under "--Built-in Gain Rules" below). In addition, the Merger will not result
in a taxable event to the ATLANTIC shareholders. Nonetheless, such opinion is
not binding on the IRS nor will it preclude the IRS from adopting a contrary
position. Moreover, since no ruling from the IRS will be sought with respect to
the federal income tax consequences of the Merger, there can be no complete
assurance that the IRS will agree with the conclusions set forth herein. The
discussion below assumes that the Merger will be treated as a reorganization
within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Basis and Holding Period. Immediately following the closing date of the
Merger, the assets of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services in the hands of
ATLANTIC will have the same adjusted tax basis as they had in the hands of the
REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services immediately prior to the closing date of
the Merger. The holding period for each of the assets of the REIT Manager and
SCG Realty Services in the hands of ATLANTIC following the closing date of the
Merger will include the period each asset was held by the REIT Manager and SCG
Realty Services immediately prior to the closing date of the Merger.

104
<PAGE>

Built-in Gain Rules. Under the "Built-in Gain Rules" of IRS Notice 88-19,
1988-1 C.B. 486, ATLANTIC will be subject to a corporate level tax if it
disposes of any of the assets acquired from Security Capital in the Merger at
any time during the 10-year period beginning on the closing date of the Merger
(the "Restriction Period"). This tax would be imposed on ATLANTIC at the top
regular corporate rate (currently 35%) in effect at the time of the disposition
on the excess of (i) the lesser of (a) the fair market value on the closing
date of the assets disposed of or (b) the selling price of such assets over
(ii) ATLANTIC's adjusted basis on the closing date in such assets (such excess
being referred to as the "Built-in Gain"). ATLANTIC currently does not intend
to dispose of any of the assets acquired in the Merger during the Restriction
Period, but there can be no assurance that one or more of such dispositions
will not occur. The results described above with respect to the recognition of
Built-in Gain assume that ATLANTIC will make the appropriate election pursuant
to the Built-in Gain Rules or applicable future administrative rules or
Treasury regulations. Under the Merger Agreement, ATLANTIC has covenanted to
make this election.

Liability for Other Taxes. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Security Capital
will be responsible for income tax liabilities attributable to the operations
of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services through the consummation of the
Merger. However, ATLANTIC, as successor to the REIT Manager and SCG Realty
Services in the Merger, will be severally liable (together with Security
Capital and the members of its "affiliated group" within the meaning of Section
1502 of the Code) for income tax liabilities of Security Capital and the
members of its "affiliated group" for periods prior to and including the year
in which the consummation of the Merger occurs. Security Capital, however, has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless ATLANTIC from and against any income tax
liabilities of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for all periods prior
to the closing date of the Merger and any income tax liabilities of Security
Capital and the members of its "affiliated group".

Consequences of the Merger on ATLANTIC's Qualification as a REIT. In light of
the unique federal income tax requirements applicable to REITs, the Merger
could have adverse consequences on ATLANTIC's continued qualification as a
REIT. In the opinion of Mayer, Brown & Platt, based upon certain
representations of Security Capital and ATLANTIC, the consummation of the
Merger will not jeopardize the status of ATLANTIC as a REIT under the Code.

The Warrant Issuance

Receipt of Warrants. ATLANTIC believes that a shareholder should be treated
as having ordinary income upon receipt of a warrant pursuant to the Warrant
Issuance in an amount equal to the fair market value of the warrants received
on the issuance date. Security Capital and ATLANTIC each intend to report the
Warrant Issuance in a manner consistent with this treatment. Accordingly, a
shareholder's tax basis in the warrants received will equal the fair market
value of the warrants received on the issuance date. A shareholder's holding
period for the warrants received will begin on the issuance date.

Fractional Warrants. If a shareholder receives cash in lieu of a fractional
warrant, such shareholder will recognize gain or loss measured by the
difference between the tax basis of such fractional warrant (i.e. the fair
market value of such fractional warrant on the issuance date) and the amount of
cash received. Such gain or loss will constitute capital gain or loss if the
shareholder holds the warrants as a capital asset on the issuance date, and
will be short-term capital gain or loss since the holding period for such
fractional warrants will be less than one year.

Disposition of Shares Prior to the Warrant Issuance Record Date. While a
shareholder generally would not recognize ordinary income on the disposition of
his or her Shares, a shareholder disposing of his or her Shares on or after the
closing date of the Merger and prior to the record date for the Warrant
Issuance may recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the fair market
value of the right of a holder of the Shares to receive the warrants, measured
as of the time of disposition of the Shares. A shareholder would not be able to
offset any portion of such ordinary income with his or her tax basis in his or
her Shares. To the extent a shareholder recognizes ordinary income, the amount
realized for purposes of calculating capital gain or loss on such disposition
will be reduced by the amount of such ordinary income.

105
<PAGE>

Tax-Exempt Shareholders. Section 511 of the Code imposes on organizations
exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code a tax at
corporate income tax rates on such organizations' "unrelated business taxable
income." Although not free from doubt, the receipt by tax-exempt shareholders
of ATLANTIC of the warrants pursuant to the Warrant Issuance should be treated
as unrelated business taxable income.

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 may be subject to backup withholding with respect to
the receipt of the warrants 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. Security Capital is required to report to the ATLANTIC
shareholders receiving warrants and the IRS the value of the warrants issued
pursuant to the Warrant Issuance on Form 1099-MISC.

SALE, DISPOSITION, EXERCISE OR EXPIRATION OF WARRANTS

In general, upon a sale or other disposition of a warrant, a holder of
warrants 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 warrant. In general, such gain or loss will be a capital gain or
loss if the stock into which the warrants are exercisable would be a capital
asset in the warrant holder's hands and will be a short-term capital gain or
loss because the warrants will expire in one year from the date of issuance.

EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

Except as discussed below with respect to cash received in lieu of fractional
Class B Stock, a warrant holder will not recognize gain or loss upon the
exercise of a warrant. A warrant holder's tax basis in the Class B Stock
received upon exercise of a warrant will be equal to the sum of (1) the warrant
holder's tax basis in the warrant exercised and (2) the exercise price paid.
The holding period of the Class B Stock received upon the exercise of a warrant
will begin on the date of exercise. Holders receiving cash in lieu of
fractional Class B Stock upon exercise of a warrant will recognize gain to the
extent that the cash received exceeds the warrant holder's tax basis in the
portion of the warrant exercised for cash in lieu of fractional Class B Stock.

EXPIRATION OF THE WARRANTS

If a warrant holder's warrants expire without being exercised, the warrant
holder will recognize a loss equal to its tax basis in the expired 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 warrant holder's hands and
will be a short-term loss because the warrants will expire in one year from the
date of issuance.

ADJUSTMENT OF CONVERSION RATIO

The terms of the warrants distributed pursuant to the Merger Agreement
provide for adjustment of the price for exercise if Security Capital makes
certain distributions of stock, cash or other property to its shareholders.
While Security Capital does not presently contemplate making such a
distribution, if Security Capital makes a distribution of cash or property
resulting in an adjustment to the exercise price, the holders of the warrants
may be viewed as receiving a "deemed distribution" under Section 305 of the
Code, even if such warrant holder does not hold any Class B 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 Security
Capital were allocable to the deemed distribution. The amount of the deemed
distribution which exceeded the allocated earnings and profits of Security
Capital would be considered a return of capital, and would reduce the warrant
holder's tax basis in

106
<PAGE>

the warrants (but not below zero) by the value of the deemed distribution. To
the extent that the value of the deemed distribution exceeds the warrant
holder's tax basis in its warrants, the deemed distribution would result in
gain to such warrant holder. In any event, the warrant holder's tax basis in
its warrants would then immediately be increased by the value of the property
deemed to have been distributed.

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, such gain will be subject to tax at the highest regular
corporate rate. Because ATLANTIC acquired many of its communities in fully
taxable transactions and presently expects to hold each community beyond the
Recognition Period, it is not anticipated that ATLANTIC will pay a substantial
corporate level tax on its built-in gain.

Possible Legislative or Other Actions Affecting Tax Consequences

Prospective shareholders should recognize that the present federal income
tax treatment of an investment in ATLANTIC may be modified by legislative,
judicial or administrative action at any time and that any such action may
affect investments and commitments previously made. The rules dealing with
federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the
legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury, resulting in revisions of
regulations and revised interpretations of established concepts as well as
statutory changes. Revisions in federal tax laws and interpretations thereof
could adversely affect the tax consequences of an investment in ATLANTIC.

State and Local Taxes

ATLANTIC and its shareholders may be subject to state or local taxation in
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.

THE OFFERING

RIGHTS

ATLANTIC is issuing as a dividend, at no cost, to each holder of Shares of
record as of the close of business on , 1997 (the "Record
Date"), one Right for each Share held by such holder on such Record

107
<PAGE>

Date. Rights entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at the
Subscription Price. The Rights are evidenced by transferable Rights
certificates, which shareholders will receive with the delivery of this
Prospectus. A holder of Rights may (a) purchase Shares through the exercise of
all of his or her Rights, thereby preserving approximately the same percentage
ownership in ATLANTIC, (b) purchase Shares through the exercise of a portion of
his or her Rights and transfer the remainder of his or her Rights, (c) transfer
all of his or her Rights or (d) allow part or all of his or her Rights to
expire unexercised. In any of the latter three cases, the shareholder would own
a smaller relative equity ownership and voting interest in ATLANTIC after the
Offering and the Merger.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The Subscription Price for one Share, which may be purchased upon the
exercise of Rights, is $ .

EXPIRATION DATE

The Rights will expire and become void at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time,
on , 1997 or such later date as ATLANTIC may determine in its
sole discretion. The Rights will thereafter have no value. Notice will be given
to shareholders of record on the Record Date, by mail or by publication in a
newspaper of national circulation, of a new Expiration Date in the event
ATLANTIC extends the period for the exercise of the Rights.

LIMITATION ON SUBSCRIPTIONS

In its sole discretion, ATLANTIC may reduce subscriptions to ensure that no
shareholder (other than Security Capital) will beneficially own more than 9.8%
of the Shares following the Offering and the Merger. ATLANTIC's Charter limits
each shareholder's beneficial ownership to 9.8% of the outstanding shares of
ATLANTIC's stock without approval of the Board. The Board has the authority
pursuant to ATLANTIC's Charter to redeem any shares in excess of such 9.8%
limit. See "Description of Stock--Restriction on Size of Holdings of Shares".

CONDITION TO CLOSING

The closing of the Offering is conditioned upon the consummation of the
Merger. The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary
conditions, including the approval of ATLANTIC's shareholders. See "The Merger
Transaction". In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated or the
Merger otherwise fails to occur for any reason on or prior to December 31, 1997
or the Offering otherwise fails to close for any reason on or prior to such
date, all funds received from subscribers in the Offering will be refunded
promptly, together with a pro rata share of any interest earned thereon. See
"--Subscription Proceeds".

WITHDRAWAL

ATLANTIC reserves the right to withdraw the Offering at any time prior to or
on the Expiration Date and for any reason (including, without limitation, the
market price of the Shares), in which event all funds received from subscribers
will be refunded promptly, together with a pro rata share of any interest
earned thereon. See "--Subscription Proceeds".

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDER

Security Capital, which owns 51.4% of the outstanding Shares prior to the
Offering and the Merger, has agreed that it will not exercise its Rights to
purchase additional Shares and that it will not sell its Rights. Security

108
<PAGE>

Capital's ownership could increase from approximately % to approximately
%, if no other shareholders subscribe for Shares issuable in the Offering.
If the Offering is fully subscribed, Security Capital will continue to own
approximately 51.4% of the outstanding Shares after the Offering and the
Merger. Security Capital intends, over time, to allow its ownership interest in
ATLANTIC to fall to between 40% and 50% as ATLANTIC conducts equity offerings,
which is consistent with its ownership interests in the other operating
companies in which Security Capital invests.

National Bank of Boston (the "Subscription Agent"). The address to which Rights
Certificates, Subscription Forms, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery and payments

ANY QUESTIONS OR REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE CONCERNING THE METHOD OF SUBSCRIBING
FOR SHARES OR FOR ADDITIONAL COPIES OF THIS PROSPECTUS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO
ATLANTIC'S INFORMATION AGENT, GEORGESON & COMPANY, INC., AT 1-800-223-2064.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

No fractional Shares will be issued. Rights Certificates may not be divided
in such a manner as to create fractional Rights or permit holders to subscribe
for a greater number of Shares. Banks, trust companies, securities dealers and
brokers that hold Shares as nominees for more than one beneficial owner may
have a Rights Certificate divided by the Subscription Agent (see "--Method of
Transferring Rights"), or may, upon proper showing to the Subscription Agent,
exercise their Rights Certificates on the same basis as if the beneficial
owners were record holders on the Record Date. ATLANTIC reserves the right to
deny any division of Rights Certificates if in its opinion the result would be
inconsistent with the intent of this privilege.

METHOD OF EXERCISING RIGHTS

Shares may be subscribed for pursuant to the exercise of the Rights by
properly completing and duly executing the Rights Certificate accompanying this
Prospectus and mailing or delivering the Rights Certificate, together with
payment of the full Subscription Price for each Share subscribed for pursuant
to the exercise of Rights, to the Subscription Agent at the appropriate address
set forth above. Banks, trust companies, securities

109
<PAGE>

dealers and brokers that hold Shares as nominee for more than one beneficial
owner may upon proper showing to the Subscription Agent, exercise their Rights
on the same basis as if the beneficial owners were record holders on the Record
Date. Payments must be made in United States currency by personal check,
cashier's check, bank draft or money order payable to the order of "ATLANTIC
Rights Offering". In the case of holders of Rights that are held of record
through The Depository Trust Company ("DTC"), such Rights may be exercised by
instructing DTC to transfer Rights from such holder's DTC account to the
Subscription Agent's DTC account, together with payment of the full
Subscription Price. Except as described under "--Late Delivery of Payment and
Rights Certificates", to be accepted, the properly completed and duly executed
Rights Certificate and the payment must be received by the Subscription Agent
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on the Expiration Date. Rights
Certificates received after such time will not be honored.

A holder of Rights who exercises fewer than all of the Rights represented by
his or her Rights Certificate will receive from the Subscription Agent a new
Rights Certificate representing such unexercised Rights. No new Rights
Certificates will be issued after , 1997. Neither ATLANTIC nor
the Subscription Agent shall incur any liability if a Rights Certificate,
furnished by the Subscription Agent or otherwise, is not received in time to be
exercised.

The instruction letter accompanying the Rights Certificate should be read
carefully and strictly followed. DO NOT SEND RIGHTS CERTIFICATES OR PAYMENTS TO
ATLANTIC. Except as described under the caption "--Late Delivery of Payments
and Rights Certificates", no subscription will be deemed to have been received
until the Subscription Agent has received delivery of a properly completed and
duly executed Rights Certificate and payment of the full Subscription Price.
The risk of delivery of all documents and payments is on subscribers, not
ATLANTIC or the Subscription Agent. If the mail is used, it is recommended that
insured, registered mail, return receipt requested, be used and that a
sufficient number of days be allowed to ensure delivery to the Subscription
Agent before the Expiration Date.

LATE DELIVERY OF PAYMENTS AND RIGHTS CERTIFICATES

If, prior to 5:00 pm., Eastern Daylight Time, on the Expiration Date, the
Subscription Agent has received a properly completed and duly executed Notice
of Guaranteed Delivery substantially in the form accompanying this Prospectus
(either by hand, mail, telegram or facsimile transmission) specifying the name
of the holder of Rights and the number of Shares subscribed for and
guaranteeing that the properly completed and duly executed Rights Certificate
and payment of the full Subscription Price for each Share subscribed for will
be delivered to the Subscription Agent within three NYSE trading days after the
Expiration Date, such subscription may be accepted, subject to the Subscription
Agent's withholding the certificates for the Shares until receipt of the
properly completed and duly executed Rights Certificate and payment of such
amount within such time period. In the case of holders of Rights that are held
of record through DTC, such Rights may be exercised by instructing DTC to
transfer Rights from such holder's DTC account to the Subscription Agent's DTC
account, together with payment of the full Subscription Price. The Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery must be guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company or
credit union having an office, branch or agency in the United States or by a
member of the Stock Transfer Association approved medallion program such as
STAMP, SEMP or MSP. Notices of Guaranteed Delivery and Payments should be
mailed or delivered to the appropriate addresses set forth under
"--Subscription Agent".

METHOD OF TRANSFERRING RIGHTS

Rights may be transferred, in whole or in part, to persons who are residents
of the United States. Rights may be transferred in whole by endorsing the
Rights Certificate for transfer. Rights may be transferred in part by
delivering to the Subscription Agent, at the appropriate address set forth
under "--Subscription Agent", a Rights Certificate that has been properly
endorsed for transfer, with instructions to reissue the Rights in part in the
name of the transferee and reissue the balance to the Rights holder. The Rights
Certificate must be received by the

110
<PAGE>

Subscription Agent by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on , 1997
for new Rights Certificates to be issued. Unless arrangements are made for
return overnight delivery, new Rights Certificates to be issued on or about
, 1997 may not be received prior to the Expiration Date. Any
arrangements for, and the related expenses of, overnight delivery of new Rights
Certificates must be made by the individual holder. Any questions regarding the
transfer of Rights should be directed to 1-800-223-2064.

All commissions, fees and other expenses (including brokerage commissions and
any transfer taxes) incurred in connection with the purchase, sale or exercise
of Rights are for the account of the transferor or the transferee of the
Rights, and none of such commissions, fees or expenses will be paid by
ATLANTIC.

Pursuant to a listing application for the underlying Shares, the Rights will
be traded on the NYSE under the symbol "SCA-RT". Pursuant to the rules of the
NYSE, the Rights will be traded only up to the close of the NYSE on
, 1997, the business day preceding the Expiration Date.

VALIDITY OF SUBSCRIPTIONS

All questions with respect to the validity and form of the exercise of any
Rights (including time of receipt and eligibility to participate in the
Offering) will be determined solely by ATLANTIC, which determination shall be
final and binding. Once made, subscriptions and directions are irrevocable, and
no alternative, conditional or contingent subscriptions or directions will be
accepted. ATLANTIC reserves the absolute right to reject any subscriptions or
directions not properly submitted or the acceptance of which, in the opinion of
ATLANTIC's counsel, would be unlawful. Any irregularities in connection with
subscriptions must be cured prior to the Expiration Date unless waived by
ATLANTIC in its sole discretion. Neither ATLANTIC nor the Subscription Agent
shall be under any duty to give notification of defects in such subscriptions
or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. A subscription
will be deemed to have been accepted (subject to ATLANTIC's right to withdraw
or terminate the Offering) only when a properly completed and duly executed
Subscription Form or Rights Certificate, any other required documents and good
funds with respect to such subscription have been received by the Subscription
Agent. ATLANTIC's interpretations of the terms and conditions of the Offering
shall be final and binding.

RIGHTS OF SUBSCRIBERS

Subscribers will have no rights as shareholders of ATLANTIC with respect to
Shares subscribed for until certificates representing such Shares are issued to
them. Subscribers will have no right to revoke their subscriptions after
delivery to the Subscription Agent of a completed Rights Certificate or
Subscription Form and any other required documents.

SUBSCRIPTION PROCEEDS

All proceeds received by the Subscription Agent with respect to the exercise
of Rights will be held by the Subscription Agent in an escrow account. Such
proceeds will be invested only in short-term bank time deposits, short-term
certificates of deposit, short-term government securities or any other
investment permitted by Rule 15c2-4 under the Exchange Act. If the Offering is
withdrawn or terminated for any reason, the Subscription Agent will return
promptly to each subscriber all funds received from such subscriber, together
with a pro rata share of any net interest earned thereon.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

Rights Certificates will not be mailed to shareholders whose mailing address
is outside the United States or the Province of Ontario, Canada, but will
instead be held by the Subscription Agent for such shareholders' accounts until
transfer instructions are received. If no instructions are received prior to
10:00 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, on the fifth business day preceding the
Expiration Date, the Subscription Agent will endeavor to sell the Rights of
such shareholders for their respective accounts. The net proceeds, if any, from
such sales (based on the average price received during such day) will be
distributed to such foreign holders. No assurances can be given that the
Subscription Agent will be able to sell such Rights.

111
<PAGE>

The Rights issued pursuant to the Offering to residents of Ontario are not
transferable in Ontario and the Shares issued to residents of Ontario upon
exercise of Rights may not be sold or otherwise disposed of for value in
Ontario, except pursuant to either a prospectus or a statutory exemption
available only in specific and limited circumstances.

DELIVERY OF CERTIFICATES

Certificates for Shares purchased pursuant to the exercise of Rights will be
mailed as soon as practicable following the receipt of all required documents
and payment in full of the Subscription Price due for such Shares. In the case
of shareholders whose Shares are held through DTC, the appropriate participant
account will be credited.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE OFFERING

The following discussion summarizes the material U.S. federal income tax
considerations of the Offering to ATLANTIC and its shareholders. The following
discussion is based upon the current provisions of the Code, its legislative
history, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and Treasury
regulations, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive
effect. The following discussion does not purport to be a complete discussion
of all U.S. federal income tax considerations. The following discussion does
not address the tax consequences of the Offering under state, local or non-U.S.
tax laws. In addition, the following discussion may not apply, in whole or in
part, to particular categories of ATLANTIC shareholders, such as dealers in
securities, insurance companies, foreign persons, tax-exempt organizations and
financial institutions. The discussion of U.S. federal income tax
considerations of the Offering set forth below assumes that the Shares owned by
a shareholder and the Shares issued pursuant to the Offering constitute capital
assets in the hands of such shareholder. It should be noted that under current
law, net capital gains of individuals are, under certain circumstances, taxed
at lower rates than items of ordinary income, and the deductibility of capital
losses is subject to limitations. THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED FOR
GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. ALL ATLANTIC SHAREHOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR
TAX ADVISORS TO DETERMINE THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE OFFERING,
INCLUDING ANY STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSEQUENCES.

Taxation of ATLANTIC'S Shareholders

Receipt of Right. Although not free from doubt, ATLANTIC believes that a
shareholder (including a foreign shareholder) should not recognize any gain
or loss upon his or her receipt of a Right. ATLANTIC intends to report the
Offering in a manner consistent with this treatment. However, it is
possible that a Shareholder could be treated as having ordinary income upon
the receipt of a Right in an amount equal to the fair market value of such
Right. The discussion below assumes that a shareholder will not recognize
any gain or loss upon the receipt of a Right.

Tax Basis of Right. If a shareholder exercises or sells a Right, the tax
basis of such Right in the hands of the shareholder will be determined by
allocating the shareholder's existing tax basis of his or her Shares with
respect to which the Right was distributed ("Old Shares") between his or
her Old Shares and the Right, in proportion to their relative fair market
values on the date of distribution. If, however, the fair market value of
the Rights distributed to the shareholder (on the date of distribution) is
less than 15% of the fair market value of his or her Old Shares, the tax
basis of each Right will be deemed to be zero unless the shareholder
affirmatively elects, by attaching an election statement to his or her
federal income tax return for the year in which he or she receives his or
her Rights, to compute the tax basis of his or her Rights in accordance
with the preceding sentence. Once made, such an election is irrevocable. A
Right will not be treated as having any tax basis if it lapses and,
therefore, the holder of an expired Right will not recognize a loss for tax
purposes.

Sale of Right. If a shareholder sells a Right, the shareholder will
generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the
difference between the proceeds of the sale and the shareholder's tax basis
of such Right. Such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if
the shareholder's holding period for such Right (which will include the
shareholder's holding period for his or her Old Shares) is more than one
year on the date of sale.

112
<PAGE>

Exercise of Right. No gain or loss will generally be recognized by a
shareholder (including a foreign shareholder) upon the purchase of a Share
pursuant to the exercise of a Right. The tax basis of the Shares purchased
pursuant to the exercise of Rights will be equal to the sum of (a) the
shareholder's tax basis of the Rights exercised and (b) the Subscription
Price paid for such Shares. The holding period of the Shares purchased
pursuant to the exercise of Rights will commence on the date of exercise.
Upon the subsequent sale of such Shares (other than to ATLANTIC pursuant to
a redemption), the shareholder will generally recognize capital gain or
loss in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the sale
and the shareholder's tax basis of such Shares. Such gain or loss will be
long-term capital gain or loss if the shareholder's holding period for such
Shares is more than one year on the date of sale.

Foreign Persons. Assuming that ATLANTIC currently qualifies and has
qualified as a domestically controlled REIT (see "Federal Income Tax
Considerations--Taxation of Shareholders--Taxation of Foreign
Shareholders"), gain from the sale of the Shares and Rights 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.

Taxation of ATLANTIC. ATLANTIC will generally not recognize any gain or
loss upon (a) the issuance of Rights, (b) the receipt of cash for Shares
pursuant to the exercise of Rights or (c) the lapse of Rights.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND EXPERTS

The financial statements of ATLANTIC at December 31, 1996 and 1995 and for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996 and related
schedule as of December 31, 1996, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP,
independent auditors, as set forth in their report thereon included herein.
Such financial statements are included herein in reliance on their report
given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

With respect to the unaudited condensed interim financial information for
the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996, included
herein, 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. Mayer, Brown & Platt has in the past represented and is currently

certain matters of Maryland law, Mayer, Brown & Platt 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 March 31, 1997 and the related condensed
statements of earnings and statements of cash flows for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial statements 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 reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed financial statements for them to
be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the balance sheet of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated as of
December 31, 1996 and the related statements of earnings, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in
our report dated February 3, 1997, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the
accompanying condensed balance sheet as of December 31, 1996, is fairly
stated, in all material respects, in relation to the balance sheet from which
it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 GENERAL

The financial statements of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
("ATLANTIC") as of March 31, 1997 and for the three-month periods ended March
31, 1997 and 1996 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 1996 Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

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 three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 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.

NOTE 2 REAL ESTATE

Gains and Losses from Dispositions 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 no longer meet ATLANTIC's investment
criteria and redeploy the proceeds therefrom, primarily through tax-deferred
exchanges, into assets with better prospects for growth. ATLANTIC did not
dispose of any communities in the three-month period ended March 31, 1997. As
discussed below, one community was disposed of subsequent to March 31, 1997.

Long-lived investments held and used are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. At March
31, 1997, such investments are carried at cost, which is not in excess of fair
market value. ATLANTIC recognized a provision for possible loss of $200,000
during the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and $2,500,000 during 1996
associated with a community that was being held for sale. ATLANTIC disposed of
this community in April 1997. The sales price approximated ATLANTIC's carrying
value at March 31, 1997. This community accounted for $224,000 and $236,000 of
net operating income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively.

NOTE 3 HOMESTEAD CONVERTIBLE MORTGAGES

General

To provide funds for the completion of construction of the Homestead Village
assets sold by ATLANTIC in October 1996, ATLANTIC entered into a funding
commitment agreement ("Funding Agreement") which provides for aggregate
fundings of $111.1 million in exchange for convertible mortgages ("Homestead
Convertible Mortgages"). During the three-month period ended March 31, 1997
ATLANTIC funded $20.0 million.

The Homestead Convertible Mortgages (i) bear interest at 9% per annum which
is due in interest only payments on a semi-annual basis, (ii) are due October
2006, (iii) are not callable until 2001, and (iv) beginning March 31, 1997,
are convertible at ATLANTIC's option into one share of common stock of
Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead") for every $11.50 of principal
outstanding (approximately 8,522,000 shares upon full funding). The individual
Homestead Village development projects serve as collateral individually and in
the aggregate under cross-collateral provisions. The Homestead Convertible
Mortgages represent approximately 70% of the estimated value of the projects
upon completion.

Carrying Value

ATLANTIC will receive $98.0 million of Homestead Convertible Mortgages
assuming full funding under the Funding Agreement of $111.1 million, resulting
in the recognition of an original issue premium which will be amortized over
the term of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages. The value attributed to the
conversion

F-7
<PAGE>

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
Incorporated

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

feature of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages issued ($6,900,000 assuming
full funding) has been recognized along with an offsetting discount in the
Homestead Convertible Mortgages balance. This discount will be amortized over
the term of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages. The carrying value of the
Homestead Convertible Mortgages has been further adjusted to fair value. The
fair value adjustment of $5,900,000 is recognized as an unrealized gain in
shareholders' equity. The amount of the adjustment is based upon the
conversion value of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages and is calculated
using the trading price of Homestead common stock at March 31, 1997 of
$16.875.

At March 31, 1997 the carrying value of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages
consisted of the following components (in thousands):

</TABLE>

Deferred Revenue

ATLANTIC received a commitment fee in the form of warrants to purchase
shares of Homestead common stock in return for entering into the Funding
Agreement. The warrants, which were distributed to ATLANTIC's shareholders,
were valued at $6,500,000. The commitment fee has been recognized as deferred
revenue in the liability section of ATLANTIC's balance sheet and is being
amortized over the term of the Homestead Convertible Mortgages.

Income Recognized

The aggregate income recognized on the Homestead Convertible Mortgages
consists of (i) the interest income recognized at 9.0% per annum, (ii) the
amortization of the original issue premium which reduces income, (iii) the
amortization of the discount on the conversion feature which increases income,
and, (iv) the amortization of the deferred commitment fee which increases
income. ATLANTIC uses the effective interest method to calculate the
amortization of all items associated with the Homestead Convertible Mortgages.
The effective interest rate on the funded amount is approximately 8.46% per
annum.

NOTE 4 LINE OF CREDIT AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE

Variable Interest Rate Swap Agreements

ATLANTIC has effectively eliminated its variable interest rate debt exposure
on all of its variable interest rate mortgages and $100 million of borrowings
on its line of credit by entering into swap agreements. Under the swap
agreements ATLANTIC pays a fixed rate of interest to a swap counterparty
pursuant to one agreement and receives a variable rate of interest from a swap
counterparty pursuant to another agreement. The amounts received from the
variable rate agreement are structured such that these amounts will closely
approximate the amount of variable interest due on the underlying line of
credit or mortgage note borrowings. The difference

F-8
<PAGE>

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
Incorporated

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

between the variable amount received and the fixed amount paid represents
either the cost or the benefit of the interest rate swap agreement and is
recorded as an increase or decrease to the variable interest paid on the
underlying debt instrument.

Line of Credit

On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC entered into a $350 million unsecured
revolving line of credit agreement with Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, as agent for a group of lenders ("MGT"). Borrowings on the unsecured
line of credit bear interest at prime, or at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a
margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.375% (currently 1.375%) depending on ATLANTIC's
credit rating. ATLANTIC's objective is to achieve an investment-grade debt
rating in 1997. ATLANTIC currently pays a commitment fee on the average
unfunded line of credit balance of 0.1875%. If ATLANTIC achieves an
investment-grade debt rating, the commitment fee on the average unfunded line
of credit balance will range from 0.125% to 0.25% per annum, depending on the
amount of undrawn commitments. The line of credit matures December 1998 and
may be extended for one year with the approval of MGT and the other
participating lenders.

All debt incurrences under the unsecured line of credit are subject to
certain covenants. Specifically, distributions for the preceding four
quarters, excluding the non-cash distribution related to the transaction with
Homestead in October 1996, may not exceed 95% of ATLANTIC's funds from
operations (as defined in the credit agreement) for the preceding four
quarters. ATLANTIC is in compliance with all such covenants.

ATLANTIC has a swap agreement with MGT covering $100 million of borrowings
under the line of credit, effectively eliminating a portion of its variable
interest rate exposure associated with the line of credit. Under this one-year
agreement which became effective on February 5, 1997, ATLANTIC pays a fixed
rate of interest of 7.325% on the $100 million of borrowings. The interest
rate ATLANTIC will pay will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves an investment-
grade debt rating and will range from 6.95% to 7.2% depending on the rating
achieved. ATLANTIC had a similar swap agreement in place from February 5, 1996
through February 4, 1997. Under that agreement, ATLANTIC paid a fixed rate of
interest on the $100 million of borrowings of 7.46% through December 17, 1996
and 7.335% thereafter. ATLANTIC paid $77,000 and $110,000 more in interest
than it received under the swap agreement during the three-month periods ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in
the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty; however, ATLANTIC
believes the risk of loss is minimal.

ATLANTIC paid $493,000 and $428,000 more in interest during the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively than it received under the
swap agreements. The swap agreements cover the principal amount of the bonds,
net of amounts deposited in the principal reserve fund. ATLANTIC pays interest
on that portion of bonds not covered by the swap agreements (an amount equal
to the amount of the principal reserve fund) at the variable rates as provided
by the mortgage agreements. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of
non-performance by the swap counterparties, however, ATLANTIC believes the
risk of loss is minimal.

Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at March 31, 1997 of
$51,019,000 and $207,462,000 serves as collateral for the conventional
mortgages payable and the tax-exempt mortgages payable, respectively.

The change in mortgages payable for the three-month period ended March 31,
1997 is as follows (in thousands):

capitalized during construction. Interest paid in cash on all outstanding debt
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1996 was $5,948,000, including
$2,036,000 of interest capitalized during construction.

Amortization of loan costs included in interest expense for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 was $72,000 and $432,000, respectively.

NOTE 5 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Capital Offerings

On April 10, 1997 ATLANTIC completed an underwritten public offering of
4,000,000 common shares, par value $.01, ("Shares") at a price of $21.50 per
Share. The proceeds from the sale of these Shares, net of

F-11

Incorporated

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONCLUDED)

underwriters' commissions and other expenses, were approximately $80.5
million. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350
million line of credit which had an outstanding balance of $228,250,000 on May
9, 1997.

Distributions

ATLANTIC paid a quarterly distribution of $0.39 per Share on February 19,
1997. On April 22, 1997 the Board declared a distribution of $0.39 per Share
for the second quarter of 1997. The distribution is payable on May 27, 1997 to
shareholders of record on May 12, 1997.

Earnings Per Share

In the fourth quarter of 1997, ATLANTIC will adopt Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, Earnings per Share, which changes the
method used to compute earnings per share. The impact of SFAS No. 128 on the
calculation of ATLANTIC's earnings per share is not expected to be material.

NOTE 6 REIT MANAGER AND PROPERTY MANAGER ACQUISITION PROPOSAL

ATLANTIC has 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 Security Capital
Group Incorporated ("Security Capital"), which owned 56.9% of ATLANTIC's
Shares at March 31, 1997 (51.4% after the completion of ATLANTIC's public
offering in April 1997). The REIT management agreement is renewable annually,
subject to a determination by ATLANTIC's independent directors that the REIT
Manager's performance has been satisfactory and that the compensation payable
to the REIT Manager is fair.

SCG Realty Services Atlantic Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services") currently
manages approximately 88% of ATLANTIC's multifamily properties. Security
Capital 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.

On May 1, 1997, Security Capital filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, containing ATLANTIC's preliminary
proxy statement and Security Capital's preliminary prospectus relating to
warrants to purchase Class B common stock of Security Capital, relating to a
proposed merger transaction whereby ATLANTIC would acquire the operations and
businesses of its REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services in exchange for Shares
valued at approximately $54.6 million. The number of Shares issuable to
Security Capital will depend on the average market price of the Shares over
the five-day period prior to the record date, subject to such average not
being more than $25.8633 or less than $20.6367. As a result of the
transaction, ATLANTIC would become an internally managed REIT and Security
Capital would remain ATLANTIC's largest shareholder. ATLANTIC's Board recently
approved the proposed merger transaction based on the recommendation of a
special committee comprised of independent directors. The proposed merger
transaction requires the approval of a majority of the holders of the
outstanding Shares. ATLANTIC's proxy statement, after review and clearance by
the Securities and Exchange Commission will be mailed to ATLANTIC's
shareholders prior to the shareholder vote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and ShareholdersSECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC INCORPORATED

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of
earnings, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The Supplemental Schedule of Real
Estate and Accumulated Depreciation is presented for purposes of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken
as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1996

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 communities in the southeastern United States.

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 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 reported 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 acquisitions are expensed at the time the pursuit is abandoned.

Repairs and maintenance, including carpet and appliance replacements, 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. Communities are depreciated principally
over the following periods:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings and improvements...................... 20-40 years
Furnishings and other........................... 2-10 years
</TABLE>

Make-Ready and Repairs and Maintenance

Make-ready expenses (expenses incurred in preparing a vacant multifamily
unit for the next resident) and repairs and maintenance, other than
acquisition-related renovation costs identified during ATLANTIC's pre-
acquisition due diligence, are expensed as incurred. ATLANTIC expenses carpet
and appliance repairs and replacements once all planned acquisition-related
renovation expenses for such items have been incurred.

F-18
<PAGE>

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Interest

Periodically, ATLANTIC enters into swap agreements to manage its variable
interest rate exposure. Swap agreements are used to exchange interest rate
payment streams based on a notional principal amount. Under the swap
agreements, ATLANTIC pays a fixed rate of interest to a swap counterparty
pursuant to one agreement and receives a variable rate of interest from a swap
counterparty pursuant to another agreement. The amounts received from the
variable rate agreement are structured such that the amount received will
closely approximate the amount of variable interest due on a portion of the
underlying line of credit or mortgage note borrowings. The difference between
the variable amount received and the fixed amount paid represents either the
cost or the benefit of the interest rate swap agreement and is recorded as an
increase or decrease to the variable interest paid on the underlying debt
instrument.

During 1996, 1995 and 1994, the total interest paid in cash on all
outstanding debt was $24,677,000, $20,609,000 and $8,412,000, respectively.

ATLANTIC capitalizes interest as part of the cost of real estate projects
under development. Interest capitalized during 1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated
$10,250,000, $4,404,000 and $793,000, respectively.

Cost of Raising Capital

Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of shares of common stock,
par value $.01 per share (the "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 1996, 1995 and 1994 totaled $1,663,000,
$1,568,000 and $707,000, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Rental and interest income are recorded on the accrual method of accounting.
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 costs
(including carpet and appliance replacement), property insurance, marketing,
landscaping, 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 on the weighted average number of Shares
outstanding during the period. The Share and per Share amounts included in the
financial statements have been restated to reflect the reverse Share split
discussed in Note 6.

Reclassifications

Certain of the 1995 and 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the 1996 presentation.

NOTE 2 HOMESTEAD TRANSACTION

On October 17, 1996, ATLANTIC sold its moderate-priced, purpose-built,
extended-stay lodging facilities known as Homestead Village(R) properties to
Homestead Village Incorporated ("Homestead"). In the transaction, ATLANTIC
sold one operating property and 25 properties under construction or in
planning (or the rights to acquire such properties) and paid $16.6 million in
cash (the "Homestead Assets"). In addition, ATLANTIC entered into a funding
commitment agreement to provide secured financing of up to $111.1 million to
Homestead for purposes of completing the development and construction of the
properties sold in the transaction. The Homestead transaction was treated as a
sale for financial accounting purposes, but was treated as a contribution for
tax purposes.

The transaction resulted in ATLANTIC receiving 4,201,220 shares of common
stock of Homestead in exchange for the Homestead Assets and 2,818,517 warrants
to purchase one share of Homestead common stock at $10 per share in exchange
for entering into the funding commitment agreement. On November 12, 1996,
ATLANTIC distributed the Homestead common stock and warrants to its
shareholders of record on October 29, 1996 (the "Homestead Distribution").
ATLANTIC shareholders received 0.110875 shares of Homestead common stock and
0.074384 Homestead warrants per Share. ATLANTIC will receive up to $98.0
million of convertible mortgage notes from Homestead in exchange for funding
up to $111.1 million under the funding commitment agreement. The difference
between the amounts funded and the convertible mortgage notes received of
$13.1 million (assuming full funding of the funding commitment) represents a
mortgage note premium that will be amortized as a reduction to interest income
over the term of the convertible mortgage notes.

ATLANTIC realized a gain of $2.8 million, after deducting expenses
associated with the transaction, representing the excess value of the
Homestead common stock received over the recorded basis of the Homestead
Assets. The Homestead warrants received represent a funding commitment fee
which has been valued at $6.5 million. The conversion feature of the
convertible mortgage notes has been valued at $6.9 million (assuming full
funding of the funding commitment). These deferred credits will be amortized
as an increase to interest income over the term of the convertible mortgage
notes.

The convertible mortgage notes received from Homestead will bear interest at
9% per annum, will be due October 2006, will not be callable until 2001 and
will be convertible commencing March 31, 1997 at the option of the holder into
one share of Homestead common stock for every $11.50 of principal amount
outstanding. Upon full funding of ATLANTIC's convertible mortgage notes, its
conversion rights would represent a 15.35% ownership in Homestead (assuming no
further equity offerings by Homestead, conversion of all convertible mortgage
notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants). The effective yield on the
convertible mortgage notes, assuming conversion of all convertible mortgage
notes and exercise of all outstanding warrants, is estimated to be 8.46%,
after giving effect to the mortgage note premium, the funding commitment fee
and the conversion value of the convertible mortgage notes. At December 31,
1996, no funds had been advanced pursuant to the funding commitment agreement
and there were no convertible mortgage notes outstanding. ATLANTIC advanced
$6.0 million under the funding commitment agreement in January 1997.

Third Party Owner/Developers

To enhance its flexibility in developing and acquiring multifamily
communities, ATLANTIC has and will enter into presale agreements to acquire
communities developed by third-party owner/developers where the developments
meet ATLANTIC's investment criteria. ATLANTIC has and will fund such
developments through development loans to these 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 December 31, 1996, the outstanding balance of
development and mortgage loans made by ATLANTIC to third-party
owner/developers and Atlantic Development Services aggregated $15,413,000 and
none, respectively. The activities of Atlantic Development Services and third-
party owner/developers are consolidated with ATLANTIC's activities and all
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Gains and Losses from Dispositions or Impairments of Real Estate

ATLANTIC acquires and develops communities with a view to effective long-
term operation and ownership. Each year, REIT Management generates operating
and capital plans based on an ongoing active review of ATLANTIC's portfolio.
Based upon ATLANTIC's market research and in an effort to optimize its
portfolio composition, ATLANTIC may from time to time dispose of assets that
no longer meet its long-term investment objectives and redeploy the proceeds,
preferably through tax-deferred exchanges, into assets with better prospects
for growth.

As a result of this asset optimization strategy, ATLANTIC disposed of four
operating communities aggregating 1,184 units in 1996. A gain was recognized
on each disposition with the total gain aggregating $6,732,000. These four
communities accounted for $3,648,000 and $5,174,000 of net operating income
during 1996 and 1995, respectively. Each disposition has been included in a
tax-deferred exchange. At December 31, 1996, ATLANTIC held a portion of the
proceeds from one of these dispositions aggregating $1,672,000 in an interest-
bearing escrow account. These funds were used in the acquisition of a land
parcel in January 1997, completing the tax-deferred exchange.

ATLANTIC disposed of two communities in 1995. The proceeds from these
dispositions were not materially different from the book value of the assets
on the date of disposition. These two communities accounted for $2,409,000 of
net operating income during 1995.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting For The
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets And For Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of
("SFAS No. 121"), adopted by ATLANTIC effective January 1, 1996, establishes
accounting standards for the review of long-lived assets to be held and used
for impairment whenever the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. SFAS No. 121 also requires that certain long-lived assets to be
disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less
cost to sell. ATLANTIC did not recognize any losses on the date it adopted
SFAS No. 121.

Long-lived investments held and used are periodically evaluated for
impairment and provisions for possible losses are made if required. As of
December 31, 1996, such investments are carried at cost, which is not in
excess of fair market value and no provisions for possible losses have been
made. ATLANTIC recognized a provision for possible loss of $2,500,000 in 1996
associated with a community that is being held for sale. The carrying value of
this community at December 31, 1996 was $8,842,000. This community is not
being depreciated during the period in which it is being held for sale.
ATLANTIC expects the disposition of this community to occur in 1997. This
community accounted for $959,000, $1,023,000 and $501,000 of net operating
income for 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. This income is included in
ATLANTIC's earnings from operations in these years.

NOTE 4 LINE OF CREDIT AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE

Line of Credit

On December 18, 1996, ATLANTIC obtained a $350 million unsecured line of
credit from Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York ("MGT"), as agent for a
group of lenders, that replaced the previous $350 million secured line of
credit. Borrowings on the unsecured line of credit bear interest at prime or,
at ATLANTIC's option, LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.375%
(currently 1.375% as compared to 1.5% under the previous agreement) depending
on ATLANTIC's debt rating. ATLANTIC's objective is to achieve an investment-
grade debt rating in 1997. ATLANTIC currently pays a commitment fee on the
average unfunded line of credit balance of 0.1875%. If ATLANTIC achieves an
investment-grade debt rating, the commitment fee on the average unfunded line
of credit balance will range from 0.125% to 0.25% per annum, depending on the
amount of undrawn commitments. The line of credit matures December 1998 and
may be extended for one year with the approval of MGT and the other
participating lenders.

In 1996, ATLANTIC expensed all previously unamortized costs associated with
the secured line of credit that was extinguished in 1996. These costs
aggregated $3,940,000 and are reflected as an extraordinary item in ATLANTIC's
1996 statement of earnings.

All debt incurrences under the unsecured line of credit are subject to
certain covenants. Specifically, distributions for the preceding four
quarters, excluding the Homestead Distribution, may not exceed 95% (97% for
distributions made before December 31, 1996) of ATLANTIC's funds from
operations (as defined in the loan agreement) for the preceding four quarters.
ATLANTIC is in compliance with all such covenants.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

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, effectively mitigating a portion of its variable interest rate
exposure. Under this one-year agreement which became effective on February 5,
1996, ATLANTIC paid a fixed rate of interest of 7.46% on the $100 million of
borrowings through December 17, 1996 and 7.335% thereafter. Upon expiration of
the existing swap agreement on February 5, 1997, a swap agreement with MGT
will take effect. The new agreement will provide for a fixed rate of 7.325% on
$100 million of borrowings through February 5, 1998. The interest rate
ATLANTIC will pay under the new agreement will be reduced if ATLANTIC achieves
an investment-grade debt rating and will range from 6.95% to 7.2%, depending
on the rating achieved. ATLANTIC paid $332,000 more in interest than it
received under the swap agreement during 1996. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit
loss in the event of non-performance by the swap counterparty; however,
ATLANTIC believes the risk of loss is minimal.

ATLANTIC paid $1,832,000 more in interest during 1996 and $575,000 more in
interest during 1995 than it received under the swap agreements. The swap
agreements cover the principal amount of the bonds, net of amounts deposited
in the principal reserve fund. ATLANTIC pays interest on that portion of bonds
not covered by the swap agreements at the variable rates as provided by the
mortgage agreements. ATLANTIC is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-
performance by the swap counterparties; however, ATLANTIC believes the risk of
loss is minimal.

Real estate with an aggregate undepreciated cost at December 31, 1996 of

NOTE 5 DISTRIBUTIONS

ATLANTIC made total cash distributions of $1.65 per Share in 1996, $1.60 per
Share in 1995 and $1.20 per Share in 1994. On December 19, 1996, ATLANTIC's
Board of Directors (the "Board") declared a distribution of $0.39 per Share
for the first quarter of 1997. The distribution is payable on February 19,
1997.

In addition, on November 12, 1996, ATLANTIC distributed 0.110875 shares of
Homestead common stock and warrants to purchase 0.074384 shares of Homestead
common stock per Share in the Homestead Distribution to each shareholder of
record on October 29, 1996. The Homestead Distribution was valued at $58.2
million based on the estimated fair value of the net assets sold to Homestead.

For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of
cash distributions paid for 1994 and 1995 and the estimated taxability for
1996:

The securities distributed to each ATLANTIC shareholder in the Homestead
Distribution were valued at $1.91 per Share for federal income tax purposes,
of which $0.90 was taxable as ordinary income and $1.01 was treated as a
return of capital. ATLANTIC's tax return for the year ended December 31, 1996
has not been filed, and the taxability information for 1996 is based on the
best available data. ATLANTIC's tax returns for prior years have not been
examined by the Internal Revenue Service and, therefore, the taxability of
distributions and dividends is subject to change.

NOTE 6 SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Shares Authorized

At December 31, 1996, 250,000,000 Shares were authorized. The Board 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 as described under "Purchase Rights" below, and no
reclassified shares are issued or outstanding.

Reverse Share Split

On September 10, 1996, the shareholders of ATLANTIC authorized a one-for-two
reverse split of ATLANTIC's Shares. A transfer from the common shares account
to additional paid-in capital was made to reflect the reduced number of Shares
outstanding after the split. All references in the accompanying financial
statements to the number of Shares and per Share amounts have been restated to
reflect the reverse Share split.

Ownership Restrictions and Significant Shareholder

ATLANTIC's Charter restricts beneficial ownership (or ownership generally
attributed to a person under the REIT tax rules) of ATLANTIC's outstanding
shares of stock by a single person, or persons acting as a group, to 9.8% of
ATLANTIC's outstanding shares of stock. 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 shares of stock 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 outstanding shares of stock, or an aggregate of 49% of the
outstanding shares and, thus, assists the Board in protecting and preserving
ATLANTIC's REIT status for tax purposes.

Shares of stock 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, in its sole 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 has exempted Security Capital Group Incorporated ("Security
Capital"), an affiliate of the REIT Manager (see Note 7), from the ownership
restrictions described above. Security Capital owned 56.9% of the outstanding
Shares at December 31, 1996. For tax purposes, Security Capital's ownership is
attributed to its shareholders.

Capital Offerings

On October 18, 1996, ATLANTIC completed an initial public offering of
4,940,000 Shares at a price of $24.00 per Share (before adjusting for the
Homestead Distribution described in Notes 2 and 5). The Shares, excluding the
416,666 Shares sold to Security Capital, were sold through an underwritten
offering. The proceeds from the sale of these 4,940,000 Shares, net of
underwriters' commission and other expenses, were approximately $110.0
million. The proceeds were used to repay borrowings under ATLANTIC's $350
million line of credit.

From inception through May 1996, ATLANTIC raised capital through various
private offerings. ATLANTIC sold a total of 31,701,580 Shares during this
period at prices ranging from $20 to $23.136 per Share. In addition, ATLANTIC
exchanged 5,000,000 Shares at a price of $20 per Share as partial
consideration for the acquisition of a pool of communities 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
granted the seller certain rights to require Security Capital to purchase the
5,000,000 Shares owned by the seller at pre-agreed prices. In consideration
for Security Capital purchasing Shares through its private offerings, ATLANTIC
assumed Security Capital's obligation with respect to 3,750,000 Shares.
ATLANTIC repurchased these Shares directly from the seller. The remaining
1,250,000 Shares were acquired directly from the seller by Security Capital.

Option Plan

On March 12, 1996, ATLANTIC adopted the Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated Share Option Plan for Outside Directors (the "Outside Directors
Plan"). There are 100,000 Shares reserved for issuance upon exercise of
options granted under the Outside Directors Plan. The Outside Directors Plan
provides that each member of the Board who is not an employee of ATLANTIC or
the REIT Manager on the date of each annual meeting of ATLANTIC's shareholders
will receive an option to purchase 1,000 Shares at an exercise price equal to
the fair market value of the Shares on such date. The options will be granted
on the date of the annual meeting of shareholders for the years 1997 through
and including 2006. The options granted are for a term of five years and are
exercisable in whole or in part. At December 31, 1996, 3,000 options had been
granted at an exercise price of $24.00 per Share, none of which have been
exercised.

Purchase Rights

On March 12, 1996, the Board declared and paid a dividend of one preferred
share purchase right ("Purchase Right") for each Share outstanding at the
close of business on March 12, 1996 to the holders of ATLANTIC's Shares on
that date. Holders of additional Shares issued 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 additional Share.

Each Purchase Right entitles the holder, under certain circumstances, to
purchase from ATLANTIC two one-hundredths of a share of non-redeemable Series
A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of ATLANTIC, par value $0.01 per share
(the "Participating Preferred Shares"), at a price of $40 per one one-
hundredth of a Participating Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. ATLANTIC
has designated two one-hundredths of the total Shares 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 beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding Shares,
commence or announce a tender offer or exchange offer which would result in
the beneficial ownership by a person or group of persons (other than certain
affiliates of ATLANTIC) of 25% or more of the outstanding Shares or file or
announce their intention to file with any regulatory authority an application
seeking approval of any transaction which would result in the beneficial
ownership by a person or group of persons (other than certain affiliates of
ATLANTIC) of 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 subscription price, a number of Shares having a
market value of twice the Purchase Right's subscription 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
subscription price, a number of the acquiring company's common shares having a
market value at that time equal to twice the Purchase Right's subscription
price. The Purchase Rights held by certain 20% shareholders (other than
certain affiliates of ATLANTIC) would not be exercisable. As of December 31,
1996, ATLANTIC had no Participating Preferred Shares outstanding and the
events required to exercise the Purchase Rights had not occurred. Therefore,
the Purchase Rights dividend had no value and was not recorded in the
financial statements.

NOTE 7 REIT MANAGEMENT AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

REIT Management Agreement

ATLANTIC has a 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 (see Note 6). All officers of ATLANTIC are employees

F-28

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
INCORPORATED

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

of the REIT Manager and ATLANTIC currently has no employees. The REIT Manager
provides both strategic and day-to-day management of ATLANTIC, including
research, investment analysis, acquisition, development, marketing,
disposition of assets, asset management, due diligence, capital markets, 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, 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 which there were none in the periods reported). Cash flow
does not include: (i) realized gains or losses from dispositions of
investments, (ii) interest income from cash equivalent investments and the
Homestead convertible mortgage notes and dividend and interest income from
Atlantic Development Services, (iii) provisions for possible losses on
investments and (iv) extraordinary items.

The REIT Manager also receives a fee of 0.20% per year on the average daily
balance of cash equivalent investments. ATLANTIC must 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,
independent Director fees and similar expenses, property management and
similar fees paid on behalf of ATLANTIC, and travel expenses incurred in
seeking financing, community acquisitions, community dispositions and similar
activities on behalf of ATLANTIC and in attending ATLANTIC Board, committee
and shareholder meetings.

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 and 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 REIT management fees will
generally increase or decrease in proportion to cash flow increases or
decreases.

Property Management Agreement

SCG Realty Services Atlantic Incorporated ("SCG Realty Services") provides
property management services to ATLANTIC. At January 31, 1997, SCG Realty
Services managed approximately 87% of ATLANTIC's multifamily communities.
Security Capital owns 100% of SCG Realty Services' voting shares.

The property management agreement, like the REIT Management Agreement, is
renewable annually and subject to a determination by the independent Directors
that SCG Realty Services' performance has been satisfactory and that the
compensation payable to SCG Realty Services is at rates prevailing in the
markets in which ATLANTIC operates. ATLANTIC may terminate the property
management agreement on 30 days' notice.

The total of the four quarterly amounts for net earnings per Share may not
equal the total for the year. These differences result from the use of a
weighted average to compute the average number of Shares outstanding.

NOTE 9 SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Non-cash investing and financing activities for the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994 are as follows:

(a) As discussed in Note 2, in 1996, ATLANTIC received Homestead common
stock valued at $51,717,000 upon the sale of the Homestead Assets (assets
with a net book value of $31,028,000 and cash of $16,595,000). A gain of
$2,839,000, net of expenses of $1,255,000, was recognized on the
transaction.

(b) As discussed in Note 2, in 1996, ATLANTIC received warrants to
purchase Homestead common stock valued at $6,511,000 in exchange for
entering into a funding commitment agreement. The value of the warrants has
been recognized as deferred revenue.

(c) ATLANTIC made a $58,228,000 non-cash distribution to its shareholders
in November 1996 consisting of the Homestead common stock and warrants.

(d) In December 1996, ATLANTIC declared a distribution for the first
quarter of 1997 in the amount of $14,778,000.

(e) In connection with the acquisition of communities, ATLANTIC assumed
mortgage debt in the amount of $17,867,000, $24,678,000 and $107,537,000 in
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

(f) In 1994, ATLANTIC issued $100,000,000 of Shares in partial
consideration for the purchase of a pool of communities.

(g) ATLANTIC sold a community in 1995 that secured $6,500,000 of mortgage
debt.

NOTE 10 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

ATLANTIC is a party to various claims and routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business. ATLANTIC does not believe that the claims and
litigation, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse
effect on its business, financial position or results of operations.

ATLANTIC is subject to environmental regulations related to the ownership,
operation, development and acquisition of real estate. As part of its due
diligence procedures, ATLANTIC has conducted Phase I environmental assessments
on each community 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
communities that is likely to have a material adverse effect on its business,
financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 11 FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accrued
expenses and other liabilities approximates fair value as of December 31, 1996
and 1995 because of the short maturity of these instruments. Similarly, the
carrying value of line of credit borrowings approximates fair value as of
those dates because the interest rate fluctuates based on published market
rates. In the opinion of management, the interest rates associated with the
mortgages payable approximates the market interest rates for this type of
instrument, and as such, the carrying values approximate fair value at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, in all material respects.

NOTE 12 PROPOSED TRANSACTION

On January 22, 1997, ATLANTIC received a proposal from Security Capital to
exchange the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services for Shares. As a result of
the proposed transaction, ATLANTIC would become an internally managed REIT,
and Security Capital would remain ATLANTIC's largest shareholder. The Board
has formed a special committee comprised of independent Directors to review
the proposed transaction. The proposed transaction is subject to approval by
the special committee, the Board and ATLANTIC's shareholders.

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
INCORPORATED

PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

The accompanying pro forma condensed financial statements for ATLANTIC
reflect the Merger pursuant to which ATLANTIC will acquire its REIT Manager
and SCG Realty Services currently owned by Security Capital, in exchange for
ATLANTIC Shares. Due to Security Capital's majority ownership of ATLANTIC, as
well as the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services, the Merger will be accounted
for as a combination of entities under common control in a manner similar to
pooling. The Merger, if approved by a majority of ATLANTIC's shareholders,
will result in ATLANTIC becoming an internally managed REIT. The Merger does
not meet the significance tests of the Securities and Exchange Commission that
require pro forma financial statements and financial statements of the
acquired companies. However, pro forma condensed financial statements have
been included because management believes that presenting the pro forma
effects of the Merger will help shareholders evaluate and understand the
Merger.

The pro forma condensed financial statements have been prepared based on
certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial statements of
ATLANTIC. The pro forma financial statements do not reflect the Offering as
ATLANTIC is not able to estimate what portion, if any, of the rights
distributed to shareholders in the Offering will ultimately be exercised.

The accompanying pro forma condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 has
been prepared as if the Merger had been completed as of the balance sheet date
and also reflects the sale of $86.0 million of Shares on April 10, 1997
(4,000,000 Shares at $21.50 per Share), net of estimated costs of issuance of
$5.5 million, as if the Shares had been sold as of March 31, 1997. For pro
forma purposes, the proceeds from the sale of Shares have been assumed to be
used to repay borrowings on ATLANTIC's $350 million line of credit.

The accompanying pro forma condensed statements of earnings for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 have
been prepared as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 1996 and also
reflects: (i) the sale of ATLANTIC's Homestead Village(R) properties to
Homestead and subsequent distribution of the Homestead common stock and
warrants to ATLANTIC's shareholders as if the transaction had been consummated
on January 1, 1996; (ii) the acquisition and disposition by ATLANTIC of all
communities acquired or disposed of from December 31, 1995 through March 31,
1997 as if these communities had been acquired or disposed of as of January 1,
1996; (iii) the assumption of mortgage debt associated with the acquisition of
the communities acquired from December 31, 1995 through March 31, 1997 as if
this mortgage debt had been assumed as of January 1, 1996; (iv) the sale of
Shares through private placement subsequent to December 31, 1995, necessary to
fund pro forma acquisitions as if the Shares had been sold as of January 1,
1996; (v) the sale of Shares in ATLANTIC's initial public offering in October
1996, net of costs of issuance, necessary to fund pro forma acquisitions as if
the Shares had been sold as of January 1, 1996; and (vi) the sale of $86.0
million of Shares on April 10, 1997 (4,000,000 Shares at $21.50 per Share),
net of estimated costs of issuance of $5.5 million as if the Shares had been
sold as of January 1, 1996. For pro forma purposes, the proceeds from the sale
of Shares on April 10, 1997 have been assumed to be used to repay pro forma
borrowings on ATLANTIC's $350 million line of credit.

The accompanying pro forma condensed statements of earnings for the three-
month period ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996 do not
give effect to the fully stabilized results of operations related to ATLANTIC
communities under construction or in planning and owned at March 31, 1997 with
a total budgeted completion cost of $410.2 million or the 1996 and first
quarter 1997 development completions with a total budgeted cost of $56.4
million. Management believes there will be sufficient depth of management and
personnel such that additional assets can be acquired, developed and managed
without a significant increase in personnel or other costs. As a result,
management of ATLANTIC believes that the accretion in net earnings and funds
from operations from the Merger reflected in the pro forma condensed statement
of earnings is not indicative of the full accretion that is expected to occur
under an internally managed structure.

The pro forma condensed financial statements do not reflect the funding of
ATLANTIC's unfunded obligation of approximately $91.1 million at March 31,
1997 under a funding commitment agreement with Homestead or receipt of the
related convertible mortgage notes, as this funding is related to future
development costs of the properties sold to Homestead.

The pro forma condensed financial statements do not purport to be indicative
the financial position or results of operations 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 condensed
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of ATLANTIC included elsewhere herein. In management's
opinion all material adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these
transactions have been made.

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
INCORPORATED

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)

(a) Reflects the sale of 4,000,000 Shares at a price of $21.50 per Share
which occurred on April 10, 1997. The total proceeds of $86.0 million, net of
estimated costs of issuance of $5.5 million, results in $80.5 million of cash
available which, for pro forma purposes, have been assumed to be used to repay
borrowings on ATLANTIC's $350 million line of credit.

(b) Reflects the historical operating assets and liabilities of the REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services for which Security Capital will reimburse
ATLANTIC as more fully discussed in note (d).

(c) Reflects the historical cost of the assets and retained earnings deficit
being acquired from the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services as of March 31,
1997. Assets and liabilities, consisting primarily of intercompany and related
accounts, which are not being acquired in the Merger have not been reflected as
they will have no impact on the financial position of ATLANTIC.

(d) In accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, reflects the amount
due to ATLANTIC from Security Capital as reimbursement for the net historical
operating liabilities (as discussed in note (b)) acquired from the REIT Manager
and SCG Realty Services as of March 31, 1997.

(e) Reflects the par value of the Shares issued in exchange for the common
stock of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services. The 2,349,000 Shares were
calculated using the purchase price of $54.6 million and an assumed per Share
price of $23.25. This price represents the midpoint of the pricing range set
forth in the Merger Agreement.

(f) Reflects the historical additional paid-in capital of the REIT Manager
and SCG Realty Services as of March 31, 1997 ($35,023,000) adjusted to
recognize the balance receivable from Security Capital ($626,000) discussed in
note (d) and remove the par value of the Shares issued in the Merger ($23,000)
as discussed in note (e).

(g) Reflects the historical operating expenses of SCG Realty Services which
were directly related to providing services to ATLANTIC for the three-month
period ended March 31, 1997.

(h) Reflects the elimination of ATLANTIC's expenses related to REIT
management fees and property management fees. The corresponding fee revenue
recognized by the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services have not been reflected
as they would be eliminated.

(i) Reflects the historical depreciation expense of the REIT Manager and SCG
Realty Services ($60,000) directly related to fixed assets being acquired in
the Merger for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, as adjusted for the
estimated increase that would result from the capitalization of acquisition and
development costs ($11,000) discussed in note (k). These capitalized costs will
be depreciated utilizing the same lives and methods currently utilized by
ATLANTIC.

(j) Reflects the reduction to interest expense and related increase in the
REIT management fee resulting from the pro forma repayments on the line of
credit. The interest reduction is calculated using the weighted average daily
interest rate of 7.10% for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997.

(k) Reflects the historical general and administrative costs of the REIT
Manager ($2,488,000) which were associated with providing services to ATLANTIC
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997, reduced for

F-42
<PAGE>

SECURITY CAPITAL ATLANTIC
INCORPORATED

NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)
the pro forma adjustment to capitalize qualifying direct and incremental costs
relating primarily to the acquisition and development of real estate
investments ($1,002,000) that would have been capitalized by ATLANTIC under
GAAP, had the Merger occurred on January 1, 1996.

In connection with the Merger, it is expected that ATLANTIC will enter into a
proposed Administrative Services Agreement (ASA) with Security Capital. Under
the ASA, Security Capital will provide ATLANTIC with administrative services
such as payroll, accounts payable, cash management, risk management, internal
audit, tax and legal administration, systems development and systems support.
Such services are currently provided by Security Capital to ATLANTIC through
the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services. Based upon a review of the terms of
the ASA, it was determined that the costs that would have been incurred under
the ASA for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997 and the year ended
December 31, 1996 would not differ materially from the actual costs charged to
the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services by Security Capital during these
periods and therefore no pro forma adjustment has been reflected.

(l) Reflects the historical amortization of goodwill over a 20 year term
using a straight-line method. The goodwill recorded on the historical books of
the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services resulted from a previous merger
transaction. Amortization of goodwill will be added back to net earnings in
arriving at funds from operations.

(m) Estimated costs of completing the Merger aggregate $700,000 and will be
expensed in arriving at earnings from operations in the period the Merger is
consummated. Such expenses are not shown on the pro forma condensed financial
statements as they are one time costs that would not impact the results of
operations of ATLANTIC on an ongoing basis. No income tax adjustment is
reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed statements of earnings as the
operations of the REIT Manager and SCG Realty Services will be merged into a
qualified REIT subsidiary which, under federal income tax laws, would not be
subject to income taxes.

(n) The number of Shares used in the calculation of the pro forma per Share
data was based on the weighted-average number of Shares outstanding during the
period, adjusted to give effect to Shares assumed to have been issued on
January 1, 1996 as necessary to complete the pro forma acquisitions and to make
the pro forma repayments on the line of credit.

(o) Reflects the increase in weighted average shares outstanding that would
result from the issuance of Shares in exchange for the common stock of the REIT
Manager and SCG Realty Services as if the Merger had occurred on January 1,
1996. The number of Shares shown is based on the purchase price of $54.6
million at an assumed per Share price of $23.25. The price represents the mid
point of the pricing range set forth in the Merger Agreement.

(p) Funds from operations represents ATLANTIC's net earnings computed in
accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from real estate
transactions, provisions for losses, extraordinary items, real estate
depreciation and amortization of goodwill. Management believes that an
understanding of funds from operations will enhance the reader's comprehension
of the impact of the Merger to ATLANTIC. The impact of the Merger on ATLANTIC's
funds from operations was a specific consideration of ATLANTIC's Special
Committee which was formed for purposes of making a recommendation to
ATLANTIC's Board. Funds from operations should not be considered as an
alternative to net earnings 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. Furthermore, the funds from operations measure presented by

F-43

ATLANTIC may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
Cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities on a pro forma
basis after giving effect to the Merger and all other pro forma adjustments
discussed throughout these pro forma condensed financial statements are as

(q) Reflects the sale of ATLANTIC's Homestead Village(R) properties to
Homestead as if the transaction had taken place on January 1, 1996 as follows:
(i) the elimination of the historical results of operations of ATLANTIC's
Homestead Village(R) properties from January 1, 1996 to the date of sale
(October 17, 1996), (ii) the recognition of additional interest expense and a
corresponding reduction in the REIT management fee resulting from the
additional borrowings that would have been necessary in 1996 to complete the
Homestead transaction and (iii) the recognition of the historical interest
expense that was capitalized on the properties sold to Homestead and the
corresponding reduction in the REIT management fee.

(r) All of ATLANTIC's acquisitions subsequent to December 31, 1995 were
acquired from unaffiliated third parties. These acquisitions are described

also reflects the removal from ATLANTIC's historical balances of gross income
and rental expenses for all communities disposed of subsequent to December 31,
1995 for the period from January 1, 1996 to the respective dates of
disposition. The historical gross income and rental expenses relating to the
period prior to ATLANTIC's acquisition of the communities exclude amounts
which would not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the
communities such as certain interest income and income taxes.

The following tables summarize the historical income and expense amounts

(s) Reflects the historical operating expenses of the Property Manager
($5,257,000) which were directly related to providing services to ATLANTIC for
the year ended December 31, 1996, as adjusted for the estimated increase to
historical operating expenses of SCG Realty Services ($405,000) resulting from
the pro forma acquisitions, net of dispositions, discussed in note (r).

(t) Reflects (i) the removal of depreciation expense recognized on
communities disposed of subsequent to December 31, 1995 which is included in
ATLANTIC's historical balances ($735,000) and (ii) the addition of
depreciation expense from January 1, 1996 through the acquisition date for all
communities acquired subsequent to December 31, 1995 ($2,488,000)
(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 ten to 40 years. Depreciation
is computed using a straight-line method.

(u) Reflects the historical depreciation expense of the REIT Manager and the
Property Manager ($193,000) directly related to fixed assets being acquired in
the Merger for the year ended December 31, 1996, as adjusted for the estimated
increase that would result from the capitalization of acquisition and
development costs ($20,000) discussed in note (y). These capitalized costs
will be depreciated utilizing the same lives and methods currently utilized by
ATLANTIC.

(v) Reflects pro forma interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996
on the three mortgage notes assumed in connection with acquisitions in 1996.
The interest rates on the mortgage notes vary from 7.0% to 8.0%.

(w) Represents the reduction to interest expense resulting from the pro
forma repayments on the line of credit. The interest reduction is calculated
using the weighted-average daily interest rate of 7.39% for 1996.

(x) Reflects the additional REIT management fee that would have been
incurred for the year ended December 31, 1996, had the pro forma acquisitions
and dispositions and the pro forma repayments on the line of credit all
occurred as of January 1, 1996.

(y) Reflects the historical general and administrative costs of the REIT
Manager ($9,383,000) which were associated with providing services to ATLANTIC
for the year ended December 31, 1996, reduced for the pro forma adjustment to
capitalize qualifying direct and incremental costs relating primarily to the
acquisition and development of real estate investments ($4,101,000) that would
have been capitalized by ATLANTIC under GAAP, had the Merger occurred on
January 1, 1996. See note (k) for further discussion.

Historical general and administrative costs of the REIT Manager relating to
the operations of Homestead Village properties which were contributed to
Homestead (as discussed in note (q)), have not been reflected as they would
not impact the ongoing operations of ATLANTIC.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying combined Historical Summary of Gross Income

The combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating
Expenses (the "Historical Summary") for the year ended December 31, 1995,
relates to the operations of the following Group C Communities which were
acquired from unaffiliated parties by Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated
("ATLANTIC") between January 1, 1996 and April 29, 1996:

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 ATLANTIC. The combined Historical Summary is not intended to be a complete
presentation of combined income and expenses of the Group C Communities for
the year ended December 31, 1995, as certain costs such as depreciation,
amortization, certain mortgage interest, professional fees and other costs not
considered comparable to the future operations of the Group C Communities have
been excluded.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

Rental income from leasing activities consist of lease payments earned from
tenants under lease agreements with terms of one year or less.

Capitalization Policy

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major
replacements and betterments are capitalized.

Advertising Expense

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the combined Historical Summary in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined Historical
Summary and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

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. ATLANTIC assumed
this mortgage note on April 10, 1996 in connection with the acquisition of the
community. Substantial modifications in the terms of the note were made prior
to the assumption by ATLANTIC. Therefore, on a continuing basis, the interest
expense incurred will differ from the amounts incurred prior to ATLANTIC's
assumption of the debt. Accordingly, no interest expense is recognized in the
accompanying combined Historical Summary.

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 E
Communities described in Note 1 for the year ended December 31, 1995. This
combined Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Group E Communities'
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 basis of accounting used and
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

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 of Form S-11
of ATLANTIC. The combined Historical Summary is not intended to be a complete

Unaudited Interim Historical Summary

The combined Historical Summary for the period from January 1, 1996 through
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 E Communities' future results of
operations.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Management fees of $73,000 and $73,000 in 1995 and 1996, respectively, and
allocated accounting costs of $53,000 and $49,000 in 1995 and 1996,
respectively, were paid to affiliates of the prior owners under property
management contracts.

4. DEBT ASSUMPTION

ATLANTIC assumed outstanding debt in connection with the acquisition of the
Lincoln Ridge Apartments. A 7% mortgage note with an outstanding balance of
$5,920,186 at October 17, 1996 (the date of acquisition) was assumed by
ATLANTIC. The note, which is collateralized by the community, matures on
September 10, 2013, subject to the lender's call options in 1998, 2003 or
2008. The mortgage note requires monthly principal and interest payments of
$50,660 until September 1998, at which time the interest rate will be based on
the prime rate or, at ATLANTIC's option, may be fixed at a rate based on the
current Treasury rate. Beginning in September, 1998, the note requires monthly
payments of interest and monthly principal payments beginning at $15,206,
increasing by approximately 9% annually.

The mortgage note had an outstanding balance of $6,071,000 at December 31,
1995. ATLANTIC's assumption of this mortgage note did not provide for any
modification to the original terms of the note through September 1998;
therefore, interest expense incurred prior to ATLANTIC's assumption is
representative of future interest expense. Accordingly, interest expense of
$437,000 and $341,000 for 1995 and 1996, respectively, is recognized in the
combined Historical Summary.

Incorporated ("Security Capital") purchased 416,666 shares of common stock in
the Registrant's initial public offering of 4,940,000 shares of common stock.

ITEM 32. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.

From October 26, 1993 (the date of the Registrant's inception) through June
28, 1994, Security Capital purchased an aggregate of 13,066,575 shares of the
Registrant's common stock at a price of $20.00 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 5,000,000 shares of the
Registrant's common stock in partial consideration for ATLANTIC's acquisition
of a portfolio of properties. Of the 5,000,000 shares issued to Laing
Properties, Inc., 3,750,000 shares have been repurchased by the Registrant
under a put obligation. In August 1994, the Registrant sold 500,000 shares of
common stock in a private offering at a price of $20.00 per share (including
331,713 shares which were sold to Security Capital). From March 1995 through
June 1995, the Registrant sold 7,272,728 shares of common stock in a private
offering at a price of $22.00 per share (including 4,310,705 shares which were
sold to Security Capital). From November 1995 through May 1996, the Registrant
sold 10,862,278 shares of common stock in a private offering at a price of
$23.00 per share (including 919,712 shares which were sold to Security Capital
at a price of $23.00 per share and 1,250,000 shares which were sold to
Security Capital at a price of $23.136 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.

II-1
<PAGE>

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,
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. Maryland law permits the Registrant to
advance reasonable expenses to a Director or officer upon the Registrant's
receipt of (a) a written affirmation by the Director or officer of his or her
good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by 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.

<PAGE>

ITEM 36. UNDERTAKINGS.

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 questions 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.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that each of Security Capital Atlantic
Incorporated, a Maryland corporation, and each of the undersigned directors
and officers of Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated, hereby constitutes and
