PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc. was formed in August 1994 as a self-managed
and self-administered real estate investment trust to continue and expand the
multifamily apartment operations of Evans Withycombe. Unless the context
otherwise requires, references to the "Company" shall include the Company's
predecessor, Evans Withycombe, Inc., and its affiliates, predecessors and
partners (collectively, "Evans Withycombe"), Evans Withycombe Residential, L.P.,
Evans Withycombe Finance Partnership, L.P. and Evans Withycombe Management, Inc.
The Company is regionally focused in Arizona and Southern California.
The Company's portfolio consists of stabilized communities and communities under
construction and in lease-up:
o Stabilized Communities. At December 31, 1996, the Company owned and
managed 49 stabilized apartment communities (a property is considered
stabilized when it reaches 93 percent occupancy) located in metro Phoenix,
Arizona; metro Tucson, Arizona; and Riverside/San Bernardino, California.
The stabilized portfolio increased 2,852 units or 25.8 percent from 11,053
units at December 31, 1995 to 13,905 units at December 31, 1996.
o Communities Under Construction And In Lease-Up. At December 31, 1996, the
Company owned five apartment communities under construction and in lease-up
with a total of 1,078 apartments. Three of these communities were new
developments and two were expansions of existing communities owned by the
Company.
Company Formation
The Company was incorporated on May 24, 1994 to develop, acquire, own and manage
upscale multifamily apartment communities. On August 17, 1994, the Company
completed an initial public offering (the "Initial Public Offering") and engaged
in various formation transactions designed to transfer ownership of the
communities and other assets of the predecessor company to Evans Withycombe
Residential, L. P. (the "Operating Partnership") or Evans Withycombe Finance
Partnership, L.P. (the "Financing Partnership"). The Company is the sole general
partner of and owned a 79.7 percent interest in the Operating Partnership at
December 31, 1996. The Company also holds a noncontrolling interest in Evans
Withycombe Management, Inc. (the "Management Company").
The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for
Federal income tax purposes. A corporate REIT is a legal entity which holds real
estate interests and, through payments of dividends to shareholders, is
permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income taxes at the
corporate level. The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of
Maryland in May 1994. The Company's principal executive offices are located at
6991 East Camelback Road, Suite A-200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85251 and its
telephone number is (602) 840-1040. To maintain the Company's qualifications as
a REIT while realizing income from its fee management and related service
business, the Company's management operations are conducted through the
Management Company pursuant to the terms of a management agreement.
Company Advantages
The Company believes that the following factors have accounted for the Company's
success and will contribute to the Company's prospects for future growth:
o Regional Focus. The Company has focused on becoming a major presence
in each of its markets, allowing it to capitalize on its superior
customer service, product design and property locations while
establishing and maintaining a strong brand identity. The Company seeks
to operate in markets where population and employment growth rates are
expected to exceed the national averages and where it believes it can
become one of the regionally significant owners and managers of
multifamily apartment properties.
1
<PAGE>
Arizona. The Company's size and prominence in its primary Arizona
markets provide it with a number of competitive advantages,
including superior market knowledge resulting in choice site
selection, superior employee training and retention, product
differentiation, economies of scale in operations and the ability
to utilize specialized marketing techniques.
California. After conducting an extensive study of a number of
potential markets within its region, the Company has determined
that certain markets in Southern California present significant
opportunities for growth and attractive investment opportunities.
The Company has acquired 1,900 units in this market and believes
that properties continue to be available for purchase in the
market at prices below replacement costs which could result in
growth and attractive yields for the Company.
o Property Locations. The Communities are located in growing sub-markets
in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona and Southern California. The Communities
are in sub-markets close to areas of employment, transportation and
shopping, principally in "in-fill" areas and master planned
communities.
o Reputation for Quality. As a long-term investor, the Company develops
and acquires its communities for long-term value. The properties
developed by the Company share an innovative design approach
characterized by high-quality construction, architectural detail,
attractive landscaping, extensive amenities and interior features.
Similarly, in seeking acquisition properties, the Company identifies
properties which after refurbishment meet the same standards. The
Company's reputation for quality in its markets has led to success in
obtaining development entitlements and brand name identification in its
primary markets.
o Experienced Management in Fully-Integrated Organization. With an
average of over 18 years in the multifamily apartment business, the
Company's executive management team has extensive development,
construction, acquisition, refurbishment, marketing and property
management experience, and has gained in-depth knowledge of the
multifamily apartment industry and the Company's markets. Of the
Stabilized Communities, the Company has developed 19 new properties and
9 expansions to existing properties consisting of 5,682 apartments. It
has acquired and refurbished 30 properties consisting of 8,223
apartments.
o Well-Trained Workforce. The Company believes that employee training and
retention have been integral to its success. The Company conducts
numerous training sessions and prides itself on the quality and
experience of its employees. The Company's size and concentration in
its market provides qualified employees with opportunities for
advancement within the Company and contributes to employee retention.
The Company believes employee stability enhances operating efficiency
and productivity.
o Service-Oriented Philosophy. The Company will continue its tradition of
focusing on extensive resident amenities and customer service designed
to maintain high occupancy, premium rental rates and low resident
turnover. By providing efficient service and soliciting customer
feedback, the Company believes it maintains a high level of customer
satisfaction which results in lower turnover and more frequent rental
referrals by existing residents. Emphasizing product differentiation
and customer service, the Company has created and continues to
strengthen its brand image in its primary markets.
The above statements regarding the Company's expectations and projections of
population and employment growth rates and household formations, and the
availability of properties for purchase are forward-looking and involve risks
and uncertainties beyond the Company's control. No assurance can be given that
actual results will meet such expectations and projections.

<PAGE>
Growth Strategy
The Company's primary business objectives are to maximize the current return to
shareholders through increases in cash flow available for distribution per share
and to increase long-term total returns to shareholders through appreciation in
the value of the common shares. The Company intends to grow by improving cash
flow from existing properties through intensive management, focusing on resident
satisfaction and retention, increasing rents and community occupancy levels and
controlling operating expenses. The Company's strategy also includes growth
through development and acquisition of multifamily properties which will provide
both favorable initial returns and long-term growth prospects.
o Growth From Existing Properties. The Company believes that cash flow
from existing properties will improve as supply and demand of apartment
units stabilize in Tucson and certain Phoenix sub-markets, as the
Southern California rental market continues to improve, and through the
Company's property management programs. The property management team
for each apartment community includes on-site management and
maintenance personnel. The property management teams perform leasing
and rent collection functions and coordinate resident services. All
personnel are extensively trained and are encouraged to continue their
education through both Company-sponsored and outside training. Property
management personnel utilize state-of-the-art on-site computer
management systems to assist in the timely leasing of vacant
apartments, collection of rents, maintenance management and delivery of
services to the apartment residents. In accordance with the REIT
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"), certain of the services with respect to the communities are
provided through independent contractors.
The focus of the Company's on-site management program is on providing
prompt, courteous and responsive service to its residents. The Company
believes that a strong resident retention program that emphasizes
customer service reduces the Company's resident turnover rate and
encourages residents to refer new customers. The Company solicits
resident feedback and responds to maintenance requests on a same day
basis and provides 24 hour a day emergency maintenance services.
The Company conducts periodic capital and preventive maintenance
programs at each Community. In addition, periodic preventive
maintenance checks are made in each apartment, pursuant to which
appliances, heating and cooling systems and apartment interiors are
inspected and serviced as necessary. The Company believes that these
programs lower operating costs over the life of the Communities,
increase the long-term value and maintain the market position of the
Communities.
o Development Strategy. The Company seeks to develop properties in
markets where it discerns a strong demand, which the Company
anticipates will enable it to achieve attractive rates of return.
Communities currently under construction and the number of communities
stabilized since the Initial Public Offering are specific examples of
the Company's implementation of its growth strategy through
development.
The Company develops its communities in markets where resident profiles
justify the development of high quality apartments offering extensive
resident amenities and services. In evaluating whether to develop an
apartment community in a particular location, the Company analyzes
relevant demographic, economic and financial data. Specifically, the
Company considers the following factors, among others, in determining
the viability of a potential new apartment community: (i) income levels
and employment growth trends in the relevant market, (ii) uniqueness of
location, (iii) household growth and net migration of the relevant
market's population, (iv) supply/demand ratio, competitive housing
alternatives, sub-market occupancy and rent levels and (v) barriers to
entry that would limit competition. The Company currently intends to
develop apartment communities in select sub-markets in the Phoenix area
and intends to develop communities in its California markets when
market conditions warrant. Based on current market conditions and until
such time as market conditions warrant, the Company intends to
discontinue development in its Tucson market upon completion and
stabilization of the current two projects.
o Acquisition Strategy. The Company believes that it is well positioned
to take advantage of market timing opportunities in certain Southern
California markets, which will permit it to acquire existing apartment
properties at favorable prices. The Company focuses on properties with
below market occupancies and
3
<PAGE>
rents, so that it can benefit both from property repositioning and
market improvements. The target acquisition properties will often be
under-managed, but fundamentally sound properties. Improvements to
landscaping, recreational amenities, and apartment interiors, coupled
with more effective management and marketing, may result in significant
revenue increases over revenue levels at the time of acquisition. Such
repositioning may require substantial expenditures for capital
improvements, refurbishments and marketing.
The Company believes that its status as a publicly traded REIT
conducting business through the Operating Partnership enhances its
ability to acquire properties or development sites by providing
property sellers a means to defer federal income taxes on gains through
the use of units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership
("Units") as consideration for the acquisition. Units were utilized in
the acquisition of Acacia Creek in the first quarter of 1995 and The
Ashton in the fourth quarter of 1995. In addition, the Company's access
to the capital markets provides for additional financing flexibility
for acquisitions.
o Disposition Strategy: The Company may, from time to time, elect to sell
certain of its properties or exchange such properties for other
properties in a tax-free exchange when it believes that such assets
could be better deployed elsewhere.
o Third Party Fee Management Business. The Company succeeded to the third
party property management activities of its predecessor. Although it
contributes a small part of the Company's revenues, the Management
Company continues to manage multifamily properties owned by third
parties. The fee management business is highly competitive and
fragmented. The Company's competitors include a variety of local,
regional and national firms with no one firm controlling a significant
market share in the Company's markets. The Company will take advantage
of its reputation and experience as a property manager and accept
property management assignments that it expects to be profitable and
which fit well with the Company's property portfolio.
The Company's growth strategies stated above include estimates and
forward-looking statements and prospects regarding, among other things, the
stability of occupancy and rent levels in the Company's markets and its ability
to acquire existing apartment communities at favorable prices. This
forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties that could
significantly impact the Company's ability to successfully implement these
strategies. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from the forward-looking statements above are: the timing of the
Company's acquisitions and planned development of new, and expansion of existing
communities; the actual costs associated with such acquisitions and
developments; the demand for apartments in its markets; the strength of the
local economies; and the Company's ability to successfully expand its operations
into Southern California, a market in which it did not have any operating
experience prior to 1995.
Competition
The Communities are located in areas that include other apartment communities
and that may include new apartment communities that are under construction. The
number of competitive communities in a particular area could have an effect on
the Company's ability to lease apartments at the Communities or at any newly
developed or acquired properties and on the rents charged by the Company. In
addition, other forms of housing, such as single family homes, townhomes and
condominiums provide alternatives to potential residents of high quality
apartment complexes like the Communities.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be
required to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at such property, and may be held liable to a governmental
entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and
clean-up costs incurred by such parties in connection with the contamination.
The Company believes that the Communities are in compliance in all material
respects with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations
regarding hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum products. The Company has
not been notified by any governmental authority, and is not otherwise aware, of
any material
4
<PAGE>
noncompliance, liability or claim relating to hazardous or toxic substances or
petroleum products in connection with any of its present properties.
Employees
As of January 15, 1997, the Company, primarily through the Management Company,
employed 583 persons. The Management Company and/or the Operating Partnership
employ substantially all of the professional employees that are currently
engaged in the residential property management, development, acquisition and
construction businesses of the Company. The Company believes that its relations
with its employees are good.
Regulation
Apartment communities are subject to various laws, ordinances and regulations,
including laws, ordinances and regulations related to fair housing, Americans
with disabilities and building safety. The Company believes that each Community
has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business and that each
Community is in material compliance with present laws, ordinances and
regulations.
Seasonality
The fall and winter months in the Company's Arizona markets generally experience
somewhat higher seasonal occupancies.

The Company owns sites intended for the development of four additional
multifamily apartment communities, which, if completed, are expected to contain
approximately 1115 apartment units. There can be no assurance, that the Company
will succeed in obtaining any necessary governmental approvals or any financing
required to develop these projects, or that the Company will decide to develop
any particular project.
The information set forth in the table above is based upon a number of estimates
and assumptions that are inherently subject to business, economic and
competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the
Company's control. The actual development cost, completion date and
stabilization date of any project will be dependent upon a variety of factors
beyond the control of the Company including, for example, labor and other
personnel costs, material costs, weather conditions, government fees and leasing
rates.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Neither the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Management Company, the
Financing Partnership, or any of the Communities is presently subject to
material litigation nor, to the Company's knowledge, is any litigation
threatened against the Company or any of the Communities, other than routine
actions for negligence or other claims and administrative proceedings arising in
the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by
liability insurance and all of which collectively are not expected to have a
material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON STOCK AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
(a) Market Information: The Company's Common Stock, $.01 par value, is traded on
the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "EWR." The ranges of high and low
sales prices of the Company's trading reported on the New York Stock Exchange
composite tape of each quarter in 1995 and 1996 have been as follows:

<PAGE>
On January 30, 1997, the last reported sale price of the Company's common stock
on the New York Stock Exchange was $20 7/8 per share.
(b) Holders: As of January 30, 1997, there were approximately 232 stockholders
of record of the Company's Common Stock. Such number does not include the total
number of beneficial holders of Common Stock.
(c) Distributions: The Company intends to pay regular quarterly dividends to
holders of shares of Common Stock and distributions to holders of Units in the
Operating Partnership. On December 31, 1996, the Company paid a quarterly
dividend of $.40 per share for the fourth quarter to holders of shares of Common
Stock and Units of record on December 24, 1996. Future distributions by the
Company will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on
the actual funds from operations of the Company, its financial condition,
capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the board of directors deems
relevant.
The Company anticipates that Funds from Operations will exceed earnings and
profits due to non-cash expenses, primarily depreciation and amortization, to be
incurred by the Company. Distributions by the Company to the extent of its
current and accumulated earnings and profits for Federal income tax purposes
will be taxable to stockholders as ordinary dividend income. Distributions in
excess of earnings and profits generally will be treated as a non-taxable
reduction of the stockholder's basis in the Common Stock (return of capital) to
the extent thereof, and thereafter as taxable gain. Such distributions will have
the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of such Common Stock. In order
to maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must make annual
distributions to stockholders of at least 95 percent of its taxable income
(which does not include capital gains). Under certain circumstances (which the
Company does not expect to occur), the Company could be required to make
distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet such
distribution requirements.

(1) During 1993, the Company negotiated a discounted payoff of a mortgage
loan secured by The Meadows and Promontory Pointe (1992). The excess of
the amounts owed for principal and interest over the amount paid to pay
off the loan is recorded as an extraordinary item-gain on
extinguishment of debt. The Company determined that the carrying values
of the Communities were in excess of net realizable value. The excess
of $1,361 and $10,284 was charged to write down of real estate assets.
(2) In connection with the repayment of existing indebtedness at the time
of the Initial Public Offering, prepayment penalties and lender
participation (additional interest) totaling $2,594 were paid. Prior to
the Initial Public Offering, an Executive Incentive Deferred
Compensation Plan was canceled and the $2,639 that was funded by the
Company was expensed during 1994.
(3) Net income includes an adjustment for the 20.30 percent, 22.98 percent
and 20.50 percent minority interest in the Operating Partnership for
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from August
17 to December 31, 1994, respectively.
(4) Net income per share is based on 17,409,897, 16,053,453 and 15,967,432
weighted average number of shares outstanding for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period from August 17 to December
31, 1994, respectively.
(5) Physical Occupancy is defined as the number of apartments occupied or
leased (including models and employee apartments) divided by the total
number of leaseable apartments within the Community, expressed as a
percentage.
12
<PAGE>
Physical occupancy has been calculated using the average of the
occupancy that existed on the last day of each month over each period.
(6) Weighted average number of apartments is the average of all apartments
during the period. For stabilized properties, all apartments are
included in the calculation of the weighted average. For communities in
the lease-up phase, only apartments that are completed and occupied are
included in the weighted average calculation.
(7) Weighted average monthly revenue per apartment is derived by dividing
rental income by the weighted average number of occupied apartments.

</TABLE>
(1) The Company defines property operating and maintenance expense
as repairs and maintenance, other property operating and
advertising expense.
(2) Stabilized properties only.
Rental revenues increased by $25,486 or 37.0 percent for the year ended December
31, 1996 as compared to the similar period in 1995 as a result of increases in
the weighted average number of apartments and weighted average monthly revenue
per occupied apartment. The Company believes that the increase in rental income
was largely attributable to the acquisitions and stabilization of properties
developed by the Company in its rental markets.
Interest and other income increased $1,717 for the year ended December 31, 1996
compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 primarily as a result of the sale
of telephone servicing rights on certain properties and an increase in ancillary
income such as redecoration and application fees as a result of the increase in
the weighted average number of apartments.
Third party management fees decreased $111 or 8.7 percent due to the sale of
several properties from the management portfolio. Included in third party
management fees is a non recurring $500 fee received in exchange for terminating
the management contract on nine apartment communities containing 1,298 apartment
units in the second quarter of 1996.
Property operating and maintenance expense increased due to the increase in the
weighted average number of apartments for the year ended December 31, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995, respectively. Real estate taxes increased
primarily due to the increase in the number of properties for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
14
<PAGE>
Interest expense increased due to an increase in debt resulting from
acquisitions and the increase in weighted average number of units in the
portfolio. The Company capitalized $2,714 of interest for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared to $5,048 for the year ended December 31, 1995 due to
a decrease in construction activity. Interest costs incurred during construction
of a new property are capitalized until completion of construction on a
building-by-building basis.
"Same Store" Portfolio
The Company defines same store portfolio as those communities that reached
stabilized occupancy prior to January 1, 1995. Same store portfolio consists of
32 stabilized properties containing 7,924 apartment units that were owned by the
Company for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

</TABLE>
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was comparable with the same
period in 1995 as a result of the increase in the weighted average monthly
rental revenue per unit being offset by a decline in the average economic
occupancy during the year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended
December 31, 1995. Other income for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased
as a result of gains from the sale of telephone servicing rights at various
communities.
Property operating and maintenance expense increased $1,515 or 10.4 percent over
1995 due to higher apartment turnover and utility costs associated with an
increased number of vacant apartments and higher advertising costs incurred by
the Company in its "same store" portfolio.
15
<PAGE>
Communities Stabilized Less Than Two Years
Communities stabilized less than two years consist of the development of five
new apartment communities and the expansion of two existing apartment
communities by the Company, containing 1,521 apartment units that reached
stabilized occupancy during the year ended December 31, 1995. Increases in the
year ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 are
the result of the increase in the weighted average number of apartments.

apartment communities or the expansion of existing apartment communities
containing 2,522 apartment units that were in the "construction," "development,"
or "lease up" stage during 1996 and therefore, not considered to have achieved
stabilized occupancy for all of the periods presented. Increases in the year
ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the year ended December 31, 1995 are the
result of an increase in the weighted average number of apartments.

Rental revenues increased by $17,767 or 34.8 percent as a result of increases in
the weighted average number of apartments and weighted average monthly revenue
per occupied apartment. The Company believes that the increase in rental income,
other than that attributable to the acquisitions and developments, was achieved
as a result of the Company's ability to capitalize on continuing improvement in
the Company's rental markets.
The decrease in third party management fees of $400, a 24.0 percent decrease
from the 1994 period, is due to the sale of several properties from the
management portfolio, including 508 units which the Company purchased.
17
<PAGE>
Property operating and maintenance expense increased $3,148 or 20.9 percent
(versus a 26.6 percent increase in the weighted average number of units) due to
the increase in the number of properties. Real estate taxes increased $1,519 or
47.4 percent (versus a 26.6 percent increase in the weighted average number of
units) primarily due to the increase in the number of properties and higher
values placed on properties due to improved market conditions.
Property management expense increased $320 or 12.8 percent due to the increase
in the number of properties under management.
Interest expense increased $4,814 or 61.4 percent due to an increase in debt
resulting from acquisitions and from more units under construction. The Company
capitalized $5,048 of interest in 1995 compared to $2,724 in 1994 due to an
increase in construction activity. Interest costs incurred during construction
of a new property are capitalized until completion of construction on a
building-by-building basis.
"Same Store" Portfolio
In 1995, the Company defined the same store portfolio as those communities that
reached stabilization prior to January 1, 1994.
Same store portfolio consists of 30 stabilized operating properties containing
7,559 apartment units that were owned by the Company for the years ended
December 31, 1995 and 1994.

Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 increased $3,228 or 6.5
percent as a result of an increase in the weighted average monthly revenue per
occupied unit which increased $52 or 8.9 percent which was partially offset by a
decline in the average economic occupancy from 92.5 percent during the year
ended December 31, 1994 and 91.5 percent during the year ended December 31,
1995.
Property operating and maintenance expense decreased $376 or 2.6 percent due to
the Company beginning to realize economies of scale from consolidated operations
of the integrated property portfolio.
Real estate taxes increased $491 or 15.4 percent due to higher values placed on
properties due to improved market conditions and property values.

properties containing 2,878 apartment units that have been developed by the
Company since the Initial Public Offering in August 1994. Increases in 1995 as

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased from $36.5
million for the year ended December 31, 1995 to $38.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1996 principally due to increased rental operations from additional
properties acquired and developed subsequent to December 31, 1995. Net cash used
in investing activities increased from $118.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1995 to $129.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1996. Cash
used in investing activities largely relates to the Company's development and
construction of new apartment communities in Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona and
acquisitions of apartment communities in its markets. Net cash provided by
financing activities increased from $82.7 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 to $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 due to the
proceeds from the sale of 2,088,889 shares of common stock and borrowings under
the Revolving Credit Facility which were used to fund the development and
acquisition of apartment communities.
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year
ended December 31, 1994. REITs are subject to a number of
19
<PAGE>
organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that they
currently distribute 95 percent of their ordinary taxable income.
The Company expects to meet its short-term liquidity requirements, including
capital expenditures relating to maintaining Stabilized Communities, generally
through its net cash provided by operations and borrowings under its credit
arrangements and anticipates meeting long-term liquidity requirements, such as
scheduled debt maturities, financing of construction and development activities
and possible acquisitions through long-term unsecured borrowings, issuance of
additional equity securities of the Company or debt securities of the Operating
Partnership, or, possibly in connection with acquisitions of land or existing
properties, Units of the Operating Partnership. The Company believes that its
net cash provided by operations will be adequate and anticipates that it will
continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and payment of
dividends by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short
and the long-term.
The information in the immediately preceding paragraph is forward looking and
involves risks and uncertainties that could significantly impact the Company's
expected liquidity requirements in the short and long term. While it is
impossible to itemize the many factors and specific events that could affect the
Company's outlook for its liquidity requirements, such factors would include the
actual timing of the Company's planned development of new, and expansion of
existing, communities; acquisitions of existing apartment communities; the
actual costs associated with such developments and acquisitions; and the
strength of the local economies in the sub-markets in which the Company
operates. The Company is further subject to risks relating to the limited
geographic area in which it operates and its ability to successfully manage its
planned expansion into Southern California, a market in which it does not have
any operating history prior to 1995. Higher than expected costs, delays in
development of communities, a downturn in the local economies and/or the lack of
growth of such economies could reduce the Company's revenues and increase its
expenses, resulting in a greater burden on the Company's liquidity than that
which the Company has described above.
Capital Resources
At December 31, 1996, the Company's total debt was approximately $436.2 million
and the Company's debt to total market capitalization (Market Equity plus Debt)
was approximately 47.4 percent. The Company received an investment grade rating
of "BBB-" from Standards and Poors, "Baa3" from Moody's, " BBB-" from Fitch
Investor Services L.P. in December 1996.
Conventional Mortgage Loans
Conventional mortgage loans were comprised of six fixed rate loans at December
31, 1996, each of which is collateralized by a first mortgage lien on an
apartment community included in real estate assets. The mortgages are payable in
monthly installments of principal and interest and mature at various dates
through 1997. The conventional mortgage loans aggregated $40.1 million at
December 31, 1996 with interest rates ranging from 8.0 percent to 9.95 percent.
On January 9, 1997, the Company extinguished the debt on three mortgages with
unpaid principal balances of approximately $18.7 million with proceeds from the
Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, the Company incurred a loss from the
early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.2 million. The Company prepaid
a $6.2 million mortgage note on January 31, 1997 which resulted in an additional
loss from the early extinguishment of debt of approximately $300. The loss from
the early extinguishment of debt was recorded by the Company in the first
quarter 1997.
In December 1995, the Company entered into a ten year $50 million fixed rate
loan from an insurance company that bears interest at 7.17 percent, with
principal and interest due monthly based on a 25-year amortization schedule
beginning January 1, 1996 through January 1, 2006, and the remaining unpaid
principal balance due January 1, 2006. The loan is secured by a first deed of
trust on five apartment communities. Proceeds from the loan were used to pay
down outstanding balances on the Revolving Credit Facility. The outstanding debt
was $49.5 million at December 31, 1996. The loan is convertible to unsecured
upon the Company achieving an investment grade rating of BBB or better.
20
<PAGE>
Mortgage Loan Certificates
The Company, through the Financing Partnership, borrowed $102.0 million under a
securitized loan in August 1994. During January 1995, the Company borrowed the
balance of $29.0 million (increasing the total to $131.0 million). The loan is
secured by the first mortgage liens on 22 Communities. The $102.0 million was
issued at 99.97 percent of its face amount and the $29.0 million was issued at
97.9375 percent of its face amount and will mature on August 1, 2001. Although
both amounts bear interest at 7.98 percent, the $29.0 million has an effective
interest rate of 8.40 percent due to the discount. The weighted average
effective interest rate of the total $131 million loan is 8.05 percent. The
bonds have been rated "AA" by Standard and Poors.
Tax Exempt Bonds
Tax exempt bonds were comprised of three floating rate bonds based on the tax
exempt note rate set by the respective remarketing agents (or, at the option of
the Company at a fixed rate determined by the remarketing agents). The bonds are
secured by letters of credit which are secured by first mortgage liens on four
apartment communities. The tax exempt bonds have monthly interest only payments
and mature at various dates through 2016. The tax exempt bonds aggregated $64
million at December 31, 1996 with interest rates ranging from 5.16 percent to
6.14 percent.
Revolving Credit Facility
On September 25, 1996, the Company expanded its existing $125 million unsecured
Revolving Credit Facility to $225 million with a Bank Group. The Revolving
Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points
(or, at the option of the Company, at the prime rate announced by the Banks).
The interest rate was reduced 25 basis points upon the Company achieving an
investment grade rating of "Baa3" or "BBB-". The Revolving Credit Facility has a
term of three years, with an option to extend for one year and provides for
monthly payments of interest only. It will be used to finance acquisitions, to
fund construction and development and renovation costs, and for working capital
purposes. At December 31, 1996, there was $152 million outstanding on the
Revolving Credit Facility, with an effective interest rate of 7.20 percent. The
Revolving Credit Facility contains customary representations, covenants and
events of default, including a limitation which restricts dividends to 95
percent of Funds From Operations, as defined. The Company does not expect that
the covenants will affect its ability to pay dividends in accordance with its
current dividend policy or its ability to maintain a REIT status.
The table below outlines the Company's debt structure as of December 31, 1996
(amounts in thousands).

Second Offering
In September 1995, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for up to $200 million of debt
securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants.
In January 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC
for up to $125 million of common stock, preferred stock and warrants issuable by
the Company and $200 million of debt securities issuable by the Operating
Partnership. The registration statement, which has not yet been declared
effective by the SEC includes $125 million of available securities under the
September 1995 registration statement. These registration statements provide the
Company with the ability to issue and sell a portion of such securities from
time to time.
On May 28, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 4,500,000 shares of
its Common Stock of which 2,000,000 shares were sold by the Company and an
aggregate of 2,500,000 were sold by two institutional stockholders. On June 25,
1996, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option for 200,000 shares
and the Company issued an additional 88,889 shares of its Common Stock and the
institutional stockholders sold an additional 111,111 shares pursuant to a
partial exercise of the over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. Net
proceeds to the Company from the May 1996 Offering was approximately
$40,891,000. The Company used the proceeds from the sale of Common Stock to pay
down its Revolving Credit Facility.
Inflation
Most of the leases at the communities are for a term of one year or less, which
may enable the Company to seek increased rents upon renewal of existing leases
or commencement of new leases. The short-term nature of the leases generally
serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effects of inflation.
Funds From Operations
The Company and industry analysts consider Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be
an appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT because it is
predicated on cash flow analyses. The Company computes FFO in accordance with
standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO is defined as net income (loss) determined in accordance
with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of
property plus depreciation and amortization, excluding depreciation on non-real
estate assets and amortization of deferred financing costs. Funds from
operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined
in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's financial performance
or to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP)
as a measure of the Company's needs. The Company believes that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of the consolidated historical operating
results of the Company, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income,
as presented in the consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this
document.

participation (additional interest) totaling $2,594. Prior to the
Initial Public Offering, an Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation
Plan was canceled and the $2,639 that was funded by the Company was
expensed in 1994. The Company believes it is
22
<PAGE>
appropriate to add back other expenses to net income for the FFO
calculation in 1994 as these expenses represent nonrecurring costs
directly related to the Initial Public Offering rather than recurring
expenses from operations.
Number of Common Shares and Units
The Company had 22,184,395 and 20,590,873 weighted average number of shares and
units for the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community Improvements.
The Company has established a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating
to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or
substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset. All expenditures
necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed
as incurred.

Employment Agreements
On August 17, 1994, each of Stephen O. Evans and Richard G. Berry entered into
employment agreements with the Company for a term of three years. The agreements
provide for annual compensation in the amounts set forth in the "Summary
Compensation Table" above and incentive compensation on the terms set forth in
"Incentive Compensation Plan" below. Each of the employment agreements provides
for certain severance payments equal to base compensation for the longer of the
balance of the employment term or 18 months in the event of disability or
termination by the Company without cause or by the employee with "good reason."
The Company generally will have "cause" to terminate Messrs. Evans or Berry if
such person (i) engages in acts or omissions with respect to the Company which
constitute intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii) personally
receives a benefit of money, property or services from the Company or from
another person dealing with the Company in violation of law, (iii) breaches his
non-competition agreement with the Company, (iv) breaches his duty of loyalty to
the Company, (v) engages in gross negligence in the performance of his duties or
(vi) fails to perform services that have been reasonably requested of him by the
Board of Directors following applicable notice and cure periods and which are
consistent with the terms of his employment agreement. Messrs. Evans or Berry
will each have "good reason" to terminate his employment with the Company in the
event of any reduction in his compensation without his consent, any material
breach or default by the Company under his employment agreement or any
substantial diminution in his duties.
As part of their employment agreements, each of Messrs. Evans and Berry agreed
to a noncompetition covenant with the Company which generally prohibits them
(with certain specified exceptions) from engaging in or carrying on, directly or
indirectly, whether as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director,
employee, shareholder, associate or consultant to any person, partnership,
corporation or any other business entity which is engaged in the development,
construction, acquisition or management of multifamily apartment properties in
the North America except by or through the Company for the longer of (a) 12
months following the termination of employment with the Company or (b) three
years after the closing of the Company's Initial Public Offering, without the
prior written consent of the Board of Directors; provided, however, if such
person's employment is terminated by the Company without "cause" or by the
employee for "good reason," the agreement not to compete will terminate upon the
termination of employment.
On January 21, 1997, Mr. Withycombe resigned as an officer of the Company and
his duties were assumed by Mr. Berry. Mr. Withycombe will continue to serve in
his capacity as a Director of the Company. Pursuant to an employment agreement
between the Company and Mr. Withycombe, Mr. Withycombe is prohibited (with
certain specified exceptions) from engaging in or carrying on, directly or
indirectly, whether as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director,
employee, shareholder, associate or consultant to any person, partnership,
corporation or any other business entity which is engaged in the development,
construction, acquisition or management of multifamily apartment properties in
North America except by or through the Company for one year following the
termination of his employment with the Company.

1994 Stock Incentive Plan
General. In August 1994 the Company's Board of Directors adopted, and the
stockholders of the Company approved, the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (sometimes
referred to herein as the "1994 Plan"). The maximum number of shares of Common
Stock that may be issued pursuant to Awards (as defined below) under the 1994
Plan is 1,830,000, subject to adjustment as set forth in the 1994 Plan. No
person shall be eligible to be granted options and other Awards with respect to
an excess of 250,000 shares of Common Stock during any one calendar year. The
purpose of the 1994 Plan is to enable the Company, the Operating Partnership,
the Management Company (as defined below) and their subsidiaries to attract,
retain and motivate their employees and consultants by providing for or
increasing the proprietary interests of such employees and consultants in the
Company and to enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate its
nonemployee directors and further align their interests with those of the
Company's stockholders by providing for or increasing the proprietary interest
of such directors in the Company. Any person, including any director of the
Company, who is an employee of or consultant to the Company, the Operating
Partnership, the Management Company or any of their subsidiaries (an
"Employee"), is eligible to be considered for the grant of Awards under the 1994
Plan. The 1994 Plan also provides for the automatic grant of options to
directors of the Company who are not employees ("Nonemployee Directors").
The 1994 Plan is required to be administered by a committee of the Board of
Directors consisting of two or more directors, each of whom is a "Disinterested
Person," as such term is defined in Rule 16b-3, as amended from time to time,
promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Subject to the provisions
of the 1994 Plan, the committee is authorized and empowered to administer the
1994 Plan, including, without limitation, adopting, amending and rescinding
rules and regulations relating to the 1994 Plan; determining which persons are
Employees under the 1994 Plan and to which of such Employees, if any, Awards
shall be granted under the 1994 Plan; granting Awards to Employees and
determining the terms and conditions of Awards granted under the 1994 Plan, and
the agreements relating to such Awards; and construing the 1994 Plan and the
terms, conditions and restrictions of any Awards and Nonemployee Director
Options granted under the 1994 Plan.
Awards to Employees. The committee is authorized under the 1994 Plan to enter
into any type of arrangement with an Employee, consistent with the provisions of
the 1994 Plan, that involves or might involve the issuance of (a) Common Stock,
(b) an option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right or
similar right, with an exercise or conversion privilege at a price related to
the Common Stock, or (c) any other security or benefit with a value derived from
the value of the Common Stock (any such arrangement is defined herein as the
"grant" of an "Award").
Awards are not restricted to any specified form or structure and may include,
without limitation, sales or bonuses of stock, restricted stock, stock options,
reload stock options, stock purchase warrants, other rights to acquire stock,
securities convertible into or redeemable for stock, stock appreciation rights,
limited stock appreciation rights, phantom stock, dividend equivalents,
performance units or performance shares. An Award may consist of any one of such
security or benefit, or of two or more of them in tandem or in the alternative.
A stock option granted to an employee of the Company may be an Incentive Option
or a Nonqualified Option (as defined below), while a stock option granted to any
other Employee will be a Nonqualified Option. The maximum number of Common Stock
that may be issued pursuant to Incentive Options granted under the 1994 Plan is
1,000,000. Common Stock may be issued pursuant to an Award for any lawful
consideration as determined by the committee, including, without limitation,
services rendered by the recipient of such Award.
Nonemployee Director Options. The 1994 Plan provides that each Nonemployee
Director will, on the day of the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company,
or any adjournment thereof, at which directors of the Company are elected,
automatically be granted a Nonemployee Director Option to purchase 2,500 shares
of Common Stock. In addition, each Nonemployee Director shall automatically be
granted a Nonemployee Director Option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common Stock
upon appointment to the Board of Directors. Each Nonemployee Director Option
will have an exercise price equal to the greater of: (i) the fair market value
of the underlying shares subject to such option on the date of its grant or (ii)
the aggregate par value of such Common Stock on such date. Each
30
<PAGE>
Nonemployee Director Option granted pursuant to the 1994 Plan shall become
exercisable for the first time to purchase 100% of the Common Stock subject
thereto one year after the date of grant of such Nonemployee Director Option.
Amendment and Termination of 1994 Plan. The 1994 Plan may be amended or
terminated by the Board of Directors at any time, except that the provisions
relating to Nonemployee Director Options may not be amended more than once every
six months, other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code (the
"Code"), ERISA, or the rules thereunder. Additionally, no amendment or
termination of the 1994 Plan shall deprive the recipient of any Award or
Nonemployee Director Option that was previously granted to the recipient under
the 1994 Plan of his or her rights thereto without the recipient's consent.
Unless sooner terminated by the Board of Directors, the 1994 Plan will terminate
on August 4, 2004. After termination of the 1994 Plan, no additional Awards or
Nonemployee Director Options may be granted thereunder. Although Common Stock
may be issued after August 4, 2004 pursuant to the exercise of Awards and
Nonemployee Director Options granted prior to such date, no Common Stock shall
be issued under the 1994 Plan after August 4, 2014.
Incentive Compensation Plan
The Company has established an incentive compensation plan for officers and key
employees of the Company. This plan provides for payment of a cash bonus to
participating officers and key employees if certain performance objectives
established for each individual are achieved. Pursuant to such plan, each of
Messrs. Evans and Berry shall be entitled to receive a cash bonus of up to 100%
of their respective base compensation, respectively, upon the achievement by the
Company of specified targets of growth in funds available for distribution per
share as determined by the Compensation Committee. The amount of the bonus to
other participating officers and key employees is based on a formula determined
for each employee by the Compensation Committee or the Chief Executive Officer
and President of the Company, which is based on growth in funds available for
distribution and other factors.
401(k) Plan
The Company maintains through Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. (the "Management
Company"), a qualified retirement plan, with a salary deferral feature designed
to qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "401(k) Plan").
The 401(k) Plan permits employees of the Management Company to defer a portion
of their compensation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the
Code. The 401(k) Plan currently allows participants to defer up to 20% of their
eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis subject to certain maximum amounts.
Matching contributions may be made in amounts and at times determined by the
Company. Amounts contributed by the Company for a participant will vest over
five years and will be held in trust until distributed pursuant to the terms of
the 401(k) Plan. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan if
they meet certain requirements concerning minimum age and period of credited
service. Distributions from participant accounts will not be permitted before
age 59 1/2, except in the event of death, disability, certain financial
hardships or termination of employment.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, the Company contributed an
aggregate of approximately $13,000 pursuant to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of the
Named Executive Officers and $113,000 on behalf of all employees as a group. At
December 31, 1996, a total of 272 of the Company's employees were participants
in the 401(k) Plan.
Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation Plan
In 1996 the Company's Initial Public Offering, Evans Withycombe, Inc. had in
place an Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Executive Plan").
Pursuant to the Executive Plan, certain executives of Evans Withycombe, Inc.
(the "Participants") were granted unfunded, unsecured rights to receive cash
payments based on the distributions from certain partnerships in which Evans
Withycombe, Inc. owned an interest. The awards would
31
<PAGE>
have vested over a six-year period from the date of grant. In connection with
the consummation of the Company's Initial Public Offering, all rights of
Participants under the Executive Plan were canceled, and the Participants
received (a) an aggregate of approximately $2.6 million in cash funded by the
Management Company prior to the offering and (b) the right to receive an
aggregate of 98,500 shares of restricted stock from the Company one year
following the offering if they remained as employees of the Company during such
period, of which 82,802 shares were issued on or about August 17, 1995. One
third of the shares will vest on each of the second, third and fourth
anniversaries of the offering based upon the continued employment by the Company
of the Participants.
Director Compensation
The Company currently pays each non-employee director a fee of $12,000 per year
for services as a director plus $500 for attendance in person at each meeting of
the Board of Directors (including telephonic board meetings), but not for
committee meetings. The Company also reimburses the directors for travel
expenses incurred in connection with their duties as directors of the Company.
The Board of Directors has approved a plan to allow the non-employee directors
to elect to receive payment of their retainer fees in the form of Common Stock
or options to purchase Common Stock rather than in cash. See "Non-Employee
Directors Stock Plan" below. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Company's
1994 Stock Incentive Plan, each non-employee director will automatically receive
on the date of each annual meeting an option to purchase 2,500 shares of Common
Stock, at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of such shares on the
date of grant. See "Item 11. Executive Compensation--1994 Stock Incentive Plan."
The Company has been advised that any compensation received by Mr. O'Connor is
as a nominee for CIIF Associates II Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership.
Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan
The Board of Directors adopted and the Company's stockholders approved the Evans
Withycombe Residential, Inc. Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan (the "Directors
Plan"). As discussed above, non-employee directors of the Company currently
receive cash compensation as an annual retainer and for meeting fees. The
Directors Plan is intended to more closely align the directors' compensation to
the Company's stock price, to further the perspective of directors as
stockholders, and to promote the long-term growth and financial success of the
Company by enabling the Company to attract, retain and motivate such persons by
providing for or increasing their proprietary interest in the Company. Under the
Directors Plan, non-employee directors will have the ability to elect to receive
their quarterly directors' retainer (including meeting fees) in the form of
Common Stock or options to purchase Common Stock in lieu of the cash they would
otherwise be entitled to receive.
Eligibility. Each director on the Board of Directors who on any date when the
Company pays directors' retainer fees (each, a "Payment Date") is not an
employee of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is automatically a
participant in the Directors Plan.
Administration. The timing, amount and persons eligible to receive stock or
options under the Directors Plan are prescribed by the terms of the Directors
Plan and requires no discretionary action by any administrative body. Each
director may elect, six months before a Payment Date, to receive retainer fees
payable on such date in the form of stock or options. Subject to the foregoing,
the Directors Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of
Directors and by such persons to whom it may delegate any ministerial duties.
The Directors Plan is intended to operate in a manner that exempts grants of
stock and options under the Directors Plan from Section 16(b) of the Exchange
Act and that does not affect the status of participants in the Directors Plan as
"disinterested administrators" under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3, for purposes of
their administering other stock-based plans of the Company.
Stock Subject to the Directors Plan. The aggregate number of shares of the
Company's Common Stock that can be issued under the Directors Plan may not
exceed 100,000. Such number of shares shall be appropriately adjusted by the
Compensation Committee if the Company's Common Stock is affected through a
reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, restructuring,
reclassification, dividend (other than quarterly cash dividends) or other
32
<PAGE>
distribution, stock split, spin-off or sale of substantially all of the
Company's assets. Stock may not be issued under the Directors Plan more than ten
years after the date of stockholder approval of the Directors Plan, except that
Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the exercise of options granted prior to
such date for a period of five years following such date.
Stock and Options Awards. Each participant in the Directors Plan may choose,
through delivery of an irrevocable election six months in advance to the
Company, to receive his or her directors retainer payment in the form of shares
(a "Stock Election") or as options to purchase shares (an "Option Election"). If
a participant makes a Stock Election with respect to the retainer fee payable on
a quarterly Payment Date, then on such Payment Date, such participant in the
Directors Plan will receive of his or her retainer in the form of shares of
Common Stock. The number of shares to be received by a participant is equal to
the retainer fee amount which the director is entitled to receive divided by the
average closing price per share of the Common Stock reported for each of the
five business days preceding the Payment Date (the "Market Price").
If a participant makes an Option Election with respect to a Payment Date, then
on such Payment Date such participant shall be granted a nonqualified option to
purchase shares of Common Stock with the following terms: (i) the option shall
be immediately exerciseable, (ii) the option shall have a term of ten years, and
(iii) the exercise price of the shares subject to such option shall equal to 75%
of the Market Price. The number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to such
option is equal to the retainer fee amount which the director is entitled to
receive divided by a number equal to 25% of the Market Price. That is, each such
option will be granted with an exercise price that is 25% below the Market Price
such that the spread between the exercise price and the Market Price multiplied
by the number of shares subject to the option are, on the date of grant, equal
to the amount of cash otherwise payable to, but forgone by such participant.
The number of shares to be received by any one director is not determinable in
advance because such number is dependent both on the amount of directors' fees
payable to such director and the trading price of the Company's Common Stock.
Participants shall have full beneficial ownership of shares awarded under the
Directors Plan, and shares received pursuant to exercise of options granted
under the Directors Plan, including the right to vote and to receive any
dividends payable with respect to such shares, subject to any restrictions on
transferability required under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3.
Amendments and Termination. The Compensation Committee may alter, amend, suspend
or terminate the Directors Plan, with or without stockholder approval, except
that if required under Exchange Act Rule 16b-3 the provisions of the Directors
Plan designating persons eligible to participate in the Directors Plan and
specifying the amount of directors fees and the amount and timing of grants
under the Directors Plan may not be amended more than once every six months
other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employees
Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. The Directors Plan also
provides that, to the extent any amendment is required by Exchange Act Rule
16b-3 to be approved by stockholders in order for the Directors Plan to continue
to satisfy Rule 16b-3, such amendment to the Directors Plan shall not be made
without approval of stockholders.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information as of January 15, 1997 regarding
beneficial ownership of the Common Stock and Units of the Company by (i) each
person known by the Company to be a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the
Company's Common Stock, (ii) each director of the Company, (iii) the Chief
Executive Officer and each of the four highly compensated executive officers of
the Company whose cash compensation exceeded $100,000 for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 and (iv) the Company's executive officers and directors as a
group. "Units" are partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. Units are
exchangeable by the holder for cash or, at the Company's option, shares of
Common Stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustments) commencing in
August 1995. For purposes of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, beneficial
ownership of securities is defined in accordance with the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and generally means the power to vote or
exercise investment discretion with respect to securities, regardless of
economic interests therein. Except as
33
<PAGE>
otherwise indicated, the Company believes that the beneficial owners of Common
Stock listed below have sole investment and voting power with respect to such
shares, subject to community property laws where applicable.

were not transferred to the Company in connection with the Formation
Transactions. The Evans Withycombe Entities had a right of first refusal to
acquire the Berry and Boyle Communities upon a sale by a venture. The Evans
Withycombe Entities had agreed to transfer any Berry Boyle Community subject to
the right of first refusal to the Company, if the Company so elects, at the
right of first refusal price In the second quarter of 1996, the Company elected
not to acquire the Berry & Boyle communities and terminated its management
contracts on the nine multi-family apartment communities in exchange for
receiving a termination fee of $500,000. In addition, five multifamily apartment
communities in which Evans Withycombe owns an interest were not transferred to
the Company. The Management Company continues to manage these five multi-family
apartment communities for a fee pursuant to existing management agreements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Evans Withycombe Residential, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Evans Withycombe
Residential, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1996 and
1995 and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity and
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.
Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These financial statements and the schedule are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the
Company at December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the consolidated 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.
Also, in our opinion the related financial statement schedule, when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly,
in all material respects the information set forth therein.

upscale multifamily apartment communities. On August 17, 1994, the Company
completed an initial public offering and engaged in various formation
transactions designed to transfer ownership of the communities and other assets
of the predecessor company to Evans Withycombe Residential, L. P. (the
"Operating Partnership") or Evans Withycombe Finance Partnership, L.P. (the
"Financing Partnership"). The Company is the sole general partner of and owned a
79.7 percent, 77.02 percent and 79.50 percent interest in the Operating
Partnership at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company also
holds a noncontrolling interest in Evans Withycombe Management, Inc. (the
"Management Company").
In the second quarter of 1996, the Company completed the Second Offering. The
net proceeds from the Second Offering were used to repay a portion of the
Revolving Credit Facility.
The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for
Federal income tax purposes. A corporate REIT is a legal entity which holds real
estate interests and, through payments of dividends to stockholders, is
permitted to reduce or avoid the payment of federal income taxes at the
corporate level.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Evans Withycombe
Residential, Inc. include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the
Operating Partnership, the Financing Partnership and the Management Company from
the date of the Offering, August 17, 1994. The accompanying financial statements
of Evans Withycombe Residential Group (the "Predecessor") prior to August 17,
1994, include the accounts of various partnerships sponsored by Evans
Withycombe. The Predecessor was a combination of affiliated entities that had
ownership in multifamily communities in the Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona area; it
was not a separate legal entity. The Predecessor accounts are presented on a
combined basis because all of the communities were managed by Evans Withycombe
which had a significant ownership interest in each of the communities and
because these communities were the subject of business combination in connection
with the formation of the Company.
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Real Estate Assets and Depreciation
The Company records its real estate assets in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of", which was issued
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in March 1995 and the Company
adopted in 1996. SFAS No. 121 requires that long-lived assets such as real
estate assets, be reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the book value of the asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the
estimated future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from
an asset to be held and used is less than the book value of the asset, an
impairment loss must be recognized in the amount of the difference between book
value and fair value as opposed to the difference between book value and net
realizable value under the previous accounting standard. For long-term assets
like apartment communities, the determination of whether there is an impairment
loss is dependent primarily on the Company's estimates on occupancy, rent and
expense increases, which involves numerous assumptions and judgments as to
future events over a period of many years. At December 31, 1996 the Company does
not hold any assets that meet the impairment criteria of SFAS No. 121.
Costs related directly to the acquisition and improvement of real estate are
capitalized. Interest costs incurred during construction of a new property are
capitalized until completion of construction on a building-by-building basis.
Interest capitalized was $2,714, $5,048 and $2,724, for the years ended December
31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Ordinary repairs, maintenance and costs incurred in connection with resident
turnover such as unit cleaning, painting, and carpet cleaning are expensed as
incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated
over their estimated useful lives. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful lives of depreciable property, which ranges from
10 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to eight years for
furnishings and equipment.
The Company reports developments and lease-up properties as
construction-in-progress until construction on the apartment community has been
completed and the apartment community has reached stabilized occupancy.
The Company also reports land relating to construction-in-progress as land on
its balance sheet. Land associated with construction-in-progress was $16,542 and
$16,414 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from
residents. Leases are for periods of up to one year, with rental payments due
monthly.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and cash equivalent investments with
original maturities of three months or less, primarily consisting of demand
deposits in banks.
F-7
<PAGE>
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes restricted deposits for sinking fund accounts related
to tax exempt bonds, property taxes and escrow accounts.
Deferred Costs
Costs incurred in obtaining long-term financing are deferred. These costs are
amortized on the effective interest method over the terms of the related debt
agreements.
Income Taxes
The Company has made an election to be taxed as a REIT and accordingly, no
federal or state income taxes have been provided in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 and the period ended December 31, 1994, respectively,
by the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Historical earnings per
share data for the periods ended prior to the Offering on August 17, 1994 are
not relevant since the financial information prior to such date is comprised of
combined operations of partnerships and corporations.
4. Other
Prior to the Initial Public Offering, Evans Withycombe, Inc. had in place an
Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Executive Plan"). Pursuant
to the Executive Plan, certain executives of Evans Withycombe, Inc. (the
"Participants") were granted unfunded, unsecured rights to receive cash payments
based on the distributions from certain partnerships in which Evans Withycombe
owned an interest. The awards would have vested over a six-year period from the
date of grant. In connection with the Initial Public Offering, all rights of
Participants under the Executive Plan were canceled, and the participants
received (a) an aggregate of approximately $2,600 in cash which was funded by
Evans Withycombe, Inc. prior to the Initial Public Offering and (b) the right to
receive an aggregate of 98,500 shares of restricted stock from the Company one
year following the Offering if they remain as employees of the Company during
such period. One third of the shares will vest on each of the second, third and
fourth anniversaries of the Offering based on an offering price per share of $20
(See Stock Incentive Plan footnote). The $2,600 cash payment, which represents
an estimate of the executives' vested share of the gain, was expensed by Evans
Withycombe, Inc. during the third quarter of 1994 prior to the Initial Public
Offering.
In connection with the repayment of existing indebtedness at the time of the
offering, prepayment penalties and lender participation (additional interest)
totaling $2,600 were paid.

The $225 million Revolving Credit Facility provides funding for working capital,
construction activities and acquisitions.
The Company has three direct pay letters of credit of $17,500, $22,800 and
$24,400 which serve as a credit enhancement for the tax exempt bonds. The
letters of credit are secured by a first mortgage on four apartment communities.
On January 9, 1997, the Company extinguished the debt on three mortgages with
unpaid principal balances of approximately $18,700 with proceeds from the
Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, the Company incurred a loss from the
early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1,200. The Company prepaid the
$6,225 mortgage note on January 31, 1997 with proceeds from the Revolving Credit
Facility which resulted in an additional loss from the early extinguishment of
debt of approximately $300. The loss from early extinguishment of debt was
recorded by the Company in the first quarter 1997.
6. Distributions
On December 31, 1996, the Company paid a distribution of $.40 per share ($7,311)
to shareholders and $.40 per unit ($1,906) to unitholders of record as of
December 24, 1996. Approximately 36 percent and 30 percent of the dividends and
distributions paid during 1996 and 1995 represented return of capital to the
shareholders and unitholders.

<PAGE>
10. Stock Incentive Plan
Stock Option Plan
The Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
"Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" (APB 25) and related interpretations
in accounting for its employee stock options because, as discussed below, the
alternative fair value accounting provided for under FASB Statement No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," requires use of option valuation
models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. Under
APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company's employee stock options
equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.
Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by
Statement 123, and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its
employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair
value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for 1995
and 1996, respectively: risk-free interest rates of 6.5% and 6.5%; dividend
yields of 7.5% and 7.4%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the
Company's common stock of 0.18 and 0.18; and a weighted-average expected life of
the option of 5 years. Because Statement 123 is applicable only to options
granted subsequent to December 31, 1994, its pro forma effect will not be fully
reflected until 1997.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly
subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because
the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective
input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's
opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single
measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro
forma information follows (amounts in thousands except for earnings per share
information):
1996 1995
------- -------
Pro forma net income $14,557 $16,232
Pro forma primary earnings per share $0.84 $1.01
Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1996 ranged from
$18.25 to $22.25. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of those
options is 7.6 years.

respectively.
Executive Stock Incentive Plan
Prior to the Offering, the Company's predecessor Evans Withycombe, Inc. had in
place an Executive Incentive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Executive Plan").
Pursuant to the Executive Plan, certain executives of Evans Withycombe, Inc.
(the "Participants") were granted the right to receive an aggregate of 98,500
shares of restricted stock from the Company one year following the Offering if
they remain employees of the Company during such period. One-third of the shares
vest on each of the second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Offering based
on an offering price per share of $20. The expense is being amortized ratably
over the periods in which the shares vest and an expense of $390 and $698 and
$267 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively, is
included in general and administrative expense. Information with respect to the
executive restricted stock incentive plan is as follows:

Restricted Stock Program
In 1996, the Company awarded 10,895 shares of restricted stock to certain
employees of the Company under its 1994 Stock Incentive Plan. The restricted
stock vests ratably over periods ranging from one to four years from the date of
the award and are based on the price of the stock at the award date which ranges
from $20.75 to $22.25. The related expense will be amortized ratably over the
periods in which the shares vest and an expense of $83 is included in general
and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 1996.

</TABLE>
The Units can be redeemed for cash or shares of common stock of the Company on a
one-for-one basis at the Company's option. Minority interest of unitholders in
the Operating Partnership is calculated based on the weighted average of shares
of common stock and Units outstanding during the period.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management
using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.
Judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value.
Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of
the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial
instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation
methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
Cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accruals are
carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values as of December
31, 1996 and 1995. The Company's debt has an estimated aggregate fair value of
approximately $437,800 at December 31, 1996 compared to the carrying value of
$436,172. At December 31, 1995, the Company's debt had an estimated fair value
of approximately $298,800 compared to the carrying value of $297,456. Fair
values were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on interest
rates currently available to the Company for issuance of debt with similar terms
and remaining maturities.
