NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2005

(UNAUDITED)

1. CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns acquires, renovates, develops, and manages middle-market apartment communities nationwide. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Dominion and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), and Heritage Communities L.P. (the “Heritage OP”) (collectively, “United Dominion”). As of March 31, 2005, there were 166,061,749 units in the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 156,107,518 units or 94.0% were owned by United Dominion and 9,954,231 units or 6.0% were owned by limited partners (of which 1,791,329 and 0 are owned by the holders of the Series A OPPS and the Series B OPPS, respectively, see Notes 6 and 9). As of March 31, 2005, there were 5,542,200 units in the Heritage OP outstanding, of which 5,201,355 units or 93.9% were owned by United Dominion and 340,845 units or 6.1% were owned by limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of United Dominion include the minority interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and the Heritage OP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

      The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes appearing in United Dominion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2005.

      In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for the fair presentation of financial position at March 31, 2005 and results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year.

      The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

2. REAL ESTATE HELD FOR INVESTMENT

      At March 31, 2005, there are 262 communities with 76,935 apartment homes classified as real estate held for investment. The following table summarizes the components of real estate held for investment (dollars in thousands):

	March 31,			December 31,
	2005			2004
Land and land improvements	$	1,255,210		$	1,194,097
Buildings and improvements		3,675,161			3,602,476

Accumulated depreciation		(1,021,170	)		(978,159	)
Real estate held for investment, net	$	4,146,151		$	4,049,733

3. INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

      FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (FAS 144) requires, among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results of operations of United Dominion’s real properties which have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2002, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1, 2002, be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in United Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within the next twelve months.

      For purposes of these financial statements, FAS 144 results in the presentation of the primary assets and liabilities and the net operating results of those properties sold or classified as held for disposition through March 31, 2005, as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption of FAS 144 does not have an impact on net income available to common stockholders. FAS 144 only results in the reclassification of the operating results of all properties sold or classified as held for disposition through March 31, 2005, within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, and the reclassification of the assets and liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets for 2005 and 2004.

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, United Dominion sold 10 communities with 1,855 apartment homes and 11 townhomes from a community of 36 townhomes. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $7.0 million on these sales. At March 31, 2005, United Dominion had one community with a total of 768 apartment homes and a net book value of $53.3 million, one commercial property with a net book value of $1.1 million, one parcel of land with a net book value of $4.0 million, and one townhome from a community of 36 townhomes with a net book value of $0.3 million included in real estate held for disposition. For the year ended December 31, 2004, United Dominion sold 19 communities with a total of 5,425 apartment homes, 24 townhomes from a community of 36 townhomes, and one parcel of land. The results of operations for these properties and the interest expense associated with the secured debt on these properties are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item entitled “Income from discontinued operations, net of minority interests.”

(a)	United Dominion has a three-year $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility. If United Dominion receives commitments from additional lenders or if the initial lenders increase their commitments, United Dominion will be able to increase the credit facility to $650 million. At United Dominion’s option, the credit facility can be extended for one year to March 2007.
(b)	Represents deferred gains from the termination of interest rate risk management agreements.

6. EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based upon common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock method based on United Dominion’s average stock price.

      The effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units, Series A Out-Performance Partnership Units, and convertible preferred stock is not dilutive and is therefore not included as a dilutive security in the earnings per share computation. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 8,518,057 shares and 8,916,952 shares, respectively. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the Series A Out-Performance Partnership Units for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 1,791,329 shares. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the convertible preferred stock for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 2,803,812 shares and 6,502,140 shares, respectively.

7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

      United Dominion adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the prospective method described in FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Currently, United Dominion uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and will continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of Statement 123R on January 1, 2006. Because Statement 123R must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because United Dominion adopted Statement 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under Statement 123 will be recognized under Statement 123R. However, had United Dominion adopted Statement 123R in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123.

8. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

      Total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, was $14.9 million and $16.2 million, respectively. The difference between net income and total comprehensive income is primarily due to the fair value accounting for interest rate swaps.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

      United Dominion is committed to completing its real estate under development, which has an estimated cost to complete of $55.2 million at March 31, 2005.

Contingencies

Series B Out-Performance Program

      In May 2003, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the Series B Out-Performance Program (the “Series B Program”) pursuant to which certain executive officers of United Dominion (the “Participants”) were given the opportunity to invest indirectly in United Dominion by purchasing interests in a limited liability company (the “Series B LLC”), the only asset of which is a special class of partnership units of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (“Series B Out-Performance Partnership Shares” or “Series B OPPSs”). The purchase price for the Series B OPPSs was determined by United Dominion’s board of directors to be $1 million, assuming 100% participation, and was based upon the advice of an independent valuation expert. The Series B Program will measure the cumulative total return on our common stock over the 24-month period from June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2005.

      The Series B Program is designed to provide participants with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment if the total cumulative return on United Dominion’s common stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid plus share price appreciation during the measurement period (a) exceeds the cumulative total return of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index peer group index over the same period; and (b) is at least the equivalent of a 22% total return, or 11% annualized.

      At the conclusion of the measurement period, if United Dominion’s total cumulative return satisfies these criteria, the Series B LLC as holder of the Series B OPPSs will receive (for the indirect benefit of the Participants as holders of interests in the Series B LLC) distributions and allocations of income and

loss from the Operating Partnership (accounted for on a consistent basis with all other OP Units) equal to the distributions and allocations that would be received on the number of OP Units obtained by:

      i. determining the amount by which the cumulative total return of United Dominion’s common stock over the measurement period exceeds the greater of the cumulative total return of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, which is the peer group index, or the minimum return (such excess being the “excess return”);

      ii. multiplying 5% of the excess return by United Dominion’s market capitalization (defined as the average number of shares outstanding over the 24-month period, including common stock, OP Units, outstanding options, and convertible securities) multiplied by the daily closing price of United Dominion’s common stock, up to a maximum of 2% of market capitalization; and

      iii. dividing the number obtained in (ii) by the market value of one share of United Dominion’s common stock on the valuation date, determined by the volume-weighted average price per day of common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date.

      Based upon the results through March 31, 2005, no OPPSs would have been issued had the program terminated on that date. However, since the ultimate determination of OPPSs to be issued will not occur until June 2005, and the number of OPPSs is determinable only upon future events, the financial statements do not reflect any impact for these events.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through operating cash flows, the sale or maturity of existing assets, or by the acquisition of additional funds through capital

15

management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations as determined by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment homes. We routinely use our unsecured bank credit facility to temporarily fund certain investing and financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing. During the past several years, proceeds from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing activities.

      We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit arrangements. We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities, the repayment of financing on development activities, and potential property acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the disposition of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and the payment of dividends by the company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short- and long-term. Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from property operations.

      We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in common shares, preferred shares, and debt securities to facilitate future financing activities in the public capital markets. During the first quarter of 2005, we completed various financing activities under our $1.5 billion shelf registration statement. These activities are summarized in the section titled “Financing Activities” below. As of March 31, 2005, approximately $1.0 billion of equity and debt securities remained available for use under the shelf registration statement. Access to capital markets is dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.

      In October 2004, we filed a prospectus supplement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the offering of up to 5 million shares of our common stock that we may issue and sell through an agent from time to time in “at the market offerings,” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933. Any sales of these shares will be made under our $1.5 billion shelf registration statement pursuant to a sales agreement that we entered into with the agent in July 2003. The sales price of the common stock that may be sold under the sales agreement will be no lower than the minimum price designated by us prior to the sale. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we sold a total of 472,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement at a weighted average sales price of $20.36, for net proceeds to us of approximately $9.4 million. We did not sell any shares of common stock under the sales agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Future Capital Needs

      Future development expenditures are expected to be funded primarily through joint ventures, with proceeds from the sale of property, with construction loans and, to a lesser extent, with cash flows provided by operating activities. Acquisition activity in strategic markets is expected to be largely financed through the issuance of equity and debt securities, the issuance of operating partnership units, the assumption or placement of secured and/or unsecured debt, and by the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties.

      During the remainder of 2005, we have approximately $21.9 million of secured debt and $71.0 million of unsecured debt maturing and we anticipate repaying that debt with proceeds from borrowings under our secured or unsecured credit facilities, or the issuance of new unsecured debt securities or equity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

      Our critical accounting policies are those having the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. These policies include those related to (1) capital expenditures, (2) impairment of long-lived assets, and (3) real estate investment properties. Our critical accounting policies are described in more detail in the section entitled

16

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. With respect to these critical accounting policies, management believes that the application of judgments and assessments is consistently applied and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.

Statements of Cash Flow

      The following discussion explains the changes in net cash provided by operating and financing activities and net cash used in investing activities that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, our cash flow provided by operating activities was $50.4 million compared to $38.3 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in cash flow from operating activities resulted primarily from an increase in property operating income due to the overall increase in our apartment community portfolio (see discussion under “Apartment Community Operations”).

Investing Activities

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, net cash used in investing activities was $71.2 million compared to $74.8 million for the same period in 2004. Changes in the level of investing activities from period to period reflects our strategy as it relates to our acquisition, capital expenditure, development, and disposition programs, as well as the impact of the capital market environment on these activities, all of which are discussed in further detail below.

Acquisitions

      During the three months ended March 31, 2005, we acquired one apartment community with 715 apartment homes. Our long-term strategic plan is to achieve greater operating efficiencies by investing in fewer, more concentrated markets. As a result, we have been expanding our interests in the fast growing Southern California, Florida, and Metropolitan DC markets over the past two years. During 2005, we plan to continue to channel new investments into those markets we believe will provide the best investment returns. Markets will be targeted based upon defined criteria including past performance, expected job growth, current and anticipated housing supply and demand, and the ability to attract and support household formation.

Capital Expenditures

      In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we capitalize those expenditures related to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.

      During the first three months of 2005, we spent $25.1 million or $323 per home on capital expenditures for all of our communities, excluding development. These capital improvements included turnover related expenditures for floor coverings and appliances, other recurring capital expenditures such as HVAC equipment, roofs, siding, parking lots, and other non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, which aggregated $8.4 million or $108 per home. In addition, revenue enhancing capital expenditures, kitchen and bath upgrades, and other extensive interior upgrades totaled $16.7 million or $215 per home.

17

      The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs for all of our communities, excluding real estate under development and commercial properties for the periods presented:

		Three Months Ended March 31,							Three Months Ended March 31,
		(dollars in thousands)							(per home)
		2005		2004		% Change			2005		2004		% Change
Turnover capital expenditures		$	4,578	$	3,951		15.9	%	$	59	$	52		13.5	%
Other recurring capital expenditures			3,791		2,708		40.0	%		49		36		36.1	%
	Total recurring capital expenditures		8,369		6,659		25.7	%		108		88		22.7	%
Revenue enhancing improvements			16,715		6,083		174.8	%		215		80		168.8	%
Major renovations			—		196		-100.0	%		—		3		-100.0	%
	Total capital improvements	$	25,084	$	12,938		93.9	%	$	323	$	171		88.9	%
Repair and maintenance			11,096		9,579		15.8	%		143		126		13.5	%
	Total expenditures	$	36,180	$	22,517		60.7	%	$	466	$	297		56.9	%

      Total capital improvements increased $12.1 million or $152 per home for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. We will continue to selectively add revenue enhancing improvements which we believe will provide a return on investment substantially in excess of our cost of capital. Recurring capital expenditures during 2005 are currently expected to be approximately $510 per home.

Real Estate Under Development

      Development activity is focused in core markets in which we have strong operations in place. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we invested approximately $9.8 million on development projects, an increase of $7.4 million from $2.4 million for the same period in 2004.

      The following projects were under development as of March 31, 2005:

	Number of		Completed						Estimated		Expected
	Apartment		Apartment		Cost to Date		Budgeted Cost		Cost Per		Completion
	Homes		Homes		(In thousands)		(In thousands)		Home		Date
Verano at Town Square Rancho Cucamonga, CA		414		—	$	33,823	$	66,300	$	160,100		4Q05
Mandalay on the Lake Irving, TX		369		—		12,785		30,900		83,700		1Q06
2000 Post Phase III San Francisco, CA		24		—		2,866		7,500		312,500		2Q06
		807		—	$	49,474	$	104,700	$	129,700

      In addition, we own seven parcels of land that we continue to hold for future development that had a carrying value at March 31, 2005 of $25.4 million. Three of the seven parcels represent additional phases to existing communities as we plan to add apartment homes adjacent to currently owned communities that are in improving markets.

Disposition of Investments

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we sold ten communities with 1,855 apartment homes and 11 townhomes from a community of 36 townhomes for a gross consideration of $72.6 million. We

18

recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $7.0 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were used primarily to reduce debt.

      During 2005, we plan to continue to pursue our strategy of selling properties where long-term growth prospects are limited and redeploying capital into properties that would enhance future growth rates and economies of scale. We intend to use the proceeds from 2005 dispositions to reduce debt, acquire communities, and fund development activity.

Financing Activities

      Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2005, was $14.6 million compared to $33.7 million for the same period in 2004. As part of the plan to improve our balance sheet, we utilized proceeds from dispositions, equity and debt offerings, and refinancings to extend maturities, pay down existing debt, and purchase new properties.

      The following is a summary of our financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

•  Repaid $114.6 million of secured debt, including $20 million outstanding on a $70 million secured credit facility that was terminated, and incurred $8.5 million in prepayment penalties and deferred financing cost write-offs.

•  Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in February 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The February 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $150 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.

•  Sold our shares in Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, in February 2005. As a result, United Dominion received cash proceeds and recorded a one-time gain of $12.3 million on the sale. As part of the transaction, an additional $0.8 million was placed in escrow and will be recorded as revenue when received.

•  Sold $50 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 in March 2005 under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a re-opening of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes due January 2015 that were issued in November 2004, and these notes constitute a single series of notes. The March 2005 issuance of these notes brought the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% senior unsecured notes to $200 million. The net proceeds of approximately $50 million were used for debt repayment and to fund the acquisition of apartment communities.

Credit Facilities

      We have four secured revolving credit facilities with Fannie Mae with an aggregate commitment of $860 million. As of March 31, 2005, $656.3 million was outstanding under the Fannie Mae credit facilities leaving $203.7 million of unused capacity. The Fannie Mae credit facilities are for an initial term of ten years, bear interest at floating and fixed rates, and can be extended for an additional five years at our discretion. We have $288.9 million of the funded balance fixed at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The remaining balance on these facilities is currently at a weighted average variable rate of 3.4%.

      We have a $500 million three-year unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in March 2006. If we receive commitments from additional lenders or if the initial lenders increase their commitments, we will be able to increase the credit facility to $650 million. At our option, the credit facility can be extended one year to March 2007. Based on our current credit ratings, the credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 90 basis points. As of March 31, 2005, $348.8 million was outstanding under the credit facility leaving $151.2 million of unused capacity.

19

      The Fannie Mae credit facility and the bank revolving credit facility are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations.

      Information concerning short-term bank borrowings under our credit facility is summarized in the table that follows (dollars in thousands):

Funds from Operations

      Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the recommendations set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) April 1, 2002 White Paper. We consider FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and our operating performance, and believe that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income as a measure of our operating performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

      Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance and defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The use of FFO, combined with the required presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We generally consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. We believe that FFO is the best measure of economic profitability for real estate investment trusts.

      The following table outlines our FFO calculation and reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles for the three months ended March 31, (dollars and shares in thousands):

		2005			2004

Weighted average number of common shares, OP Units, and common stock equivalents outstanding — diluted			150,187			145,163

      In the computation of diluted FFO, OP units, out-performance partnership shares, and the shares of Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive; therefore, they are included in the diluted share count. For the three months ended March 31, 2004, distributions to preferred stockholders exclude $1.6 million related to premiums on preferred stock conversions.

      Gains from the disposition of real estate investments developed for sale is defined as net sales proceeds less a tax provision (such development by REITs must be conducted in a taxable REIT subsidiary) and the gross investment basis of the asset before accumulated depreciation. We consider FFO with gains/losses on real estate developed for sale to be a meaningful supplemental measure of performance because the short-term use of funds produce a profit that differs from the traditional long-term investment in real estate for REITs.

      The following is a reconciliation of GAAP gains from the disposition of real estate developed for sale to gross gains from the disposition of real estate developed for sale for the three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands):

	Weighted average number of common shares outstanding — diluted per the Consolidated Statements of Operations		137,073			127,953

      FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, it is not necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs.

      The following is a presentation of cash flow metrics based on generally accepted accounting principles for the three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands):

	2005			2004
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	50,370		$	38,255
Net cash used in investing activities		(71,228	)		(74,837	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		14,615			33,731

Results of Operations

      The following discussion includes the results of both continuing and discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

      Net income available to common stockholders was $11.1 million ($0.08 per diluted share) for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, compared to $8.7 million ($0.07 per diluted share) for the same period in the prior year. The increase for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004 resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:

•  a $12.6 million increase in non-property income,

•  an $11.3 million increase in apartment community operating results,

•  $5.8 million more in gains recognized from the sale of depreciable property,

•  a $1.6 million decrease in premiums paid on preferred stock conversions, and

•  $1.2 million less in preferred stock distributions.

22

      These increases in income were partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in interest expense, an $8.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, an $8.5 million increase in losses on early debt retirement, and a $2.2 million increase in general and administrative expense during the first quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004.

Apartment Community Operations

      Our net income is primarily generated from the operation of our apartment communities. The following table summarizes the operating performance of our total apartment portfolio for the three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands):

	2005			2004			% Change
Property rental income	$	174,981		$	158,505			10.4	%
Property operating expense*		(67,226	)		(62,031	)		8.4	%
Property operating income	$	107,755		$	96,474			11.7	%
Weighted average number of homes		78,006			76,314			2.2	%
Physical occupancy**		94.1	%		93.1	%		1.0	%

*  Excludes depreciation, amortization, and property management expenses.

**  Based upon weighted average stabilized homes.

      The following table is our reconciliation of property operating income to net income as reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, (dollars in thousands):

		2005			2004
Property operating income		$	107,755		$	96,474
Commercial operating income			47			69
Non-property income			12,982			395
Real estate depreciation and amortization			(52,390	)		(43,858	)
Interest			(39,160	)		(28,913	)
General and administrative and property management			(11,813	)		(9,115	)
Other operating expenses			(290	)		(270	)
Loss on early debt retirement			(8,464	)		(5	)
Net gain on sale of depreciable property			7,023			1,205
Minority interests			(749	)		(670	)
	Net income per the Consolidated Statements of Operations	$	14,941		$	15,312

Same Communities

      Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to December 31, 2003 and held on March 31, 2005, which consisted of 63,893 apartment homes) provided 77% of our property operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

      For the first quarter of 2005, same community property operating income increased 3.8% or $3.0 million compared to the same period in 2004. The increase in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 2.7% or $3.6 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was offset by a 1.1% or $0.6 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 0.9% or $1.3 million increase in rental rates, a 13.4% or $1.3 million decrease in vacancy loss, a 59.9% or $0.2 million decrease in bad debt, a 6.1% or $0.2 million decrease in concession expense, and a 6.8% or $0.6 million increase in utility reimbursement income and fee income. Physical occupancy increased 1.1% to 94.4%.

23

      The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 2.3% or $0.3 million increase in real estate taxes, a 130.3% or $0.3 million increase in incentive compensation, and a 2.2% or $0.3 million increase in personnel expense, all of which were offset by a 2.2% or $0.2 million decrease in utilities expense and a 1.4% or $0.1 million decrease in repair and maintenance costs.

      As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income and property operating expenses, the operating margin (property operating income divided by property rental income) increased 0.6% to 61.3%.

Non-Mature Communities

      The remaining 23% of our property operating income during the first three months of 2005 was generated from communities that we classify as “non-mature communities” (primarily those communities acquired or developed during the fourth quarter of 2003, and in 2004 and 2005, sold properties, and those properties classified as real estate held for disposition). The 34 communities with 10,608 apartment homes that we acquired during the fourth quarter of 2003, and in 2004 and 2005 provided $18.4 million of property operating income. The 10 communities with 1,855 apartment homes sold during the first three months of 2005 provided $0.6 million of property operating income. In addition, our development communities, which included 178 apartment homes constructed since January 1, 2003, provided $0.3 million of property operating income during 2005, the one community with 769 apartment homes classified as real estate held for disposition provided $1.4 million of property operating income, and other non-mature communities provided $4.1 million of property operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2005.

Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, real estate depreciation and amortization on both continuing and discontinued operations increased 20.5% or $8.8 million compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to the overall increase in the weighted average number of apartment homes and the significant increase in per home acquisition cost compared to the existing portfolio, and other capital expenditures.

Interest Expense

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, interest expense on both continuing and discontinued operations increased 35.4% or $10.2 million from the same period in 2004 primarily due to the issuance of debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the weighted average amount of debt outstanding increased 51.8% or $1.1 billion compared to the same period in 2004. However, this was partially offset by the weighted average interest rate declining from 5.2% to 5.0% during 2005. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding during 2005 is higher than 2004 as acquisition costs in the last three quarters of 2004 and in 2005 have been funded, in most part, by the issuance of debt. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate during 2005 reflects our ability to take advantage of lower interest rates through refinancing and the utilization of variable rate debt.

General and Administrative

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, general and administrative expenses increased $2.2 million or 47.2% compared to the same period in 2004 primarily as a result of an increase in incentive compensation costs.

Gains on Sales of Land and Depreciable Property

      For the three months ended March 31, 2005, we recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $7.0 million compared to $1.2 million for the comparable period in 2004. Changes in the level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our divestiture activity from period to period, as well as the extent of gains related to specific properties sold.

24

eBay Purchase of Rent.com

      On December 16, 2004, eBay announced that it had agreed to acquire privately held Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, for approximately $415 million plus acquisition costs, net of Rent.com’s cash on hand. On February 23, 2005, eBay announced that it had completed the acquisition. We owned shares in Rent.com, and as a result of the transaction, we received cash proceeds and recorded a one-time gain of $12.3 million on the sale. As part of the transaction, an additional $0.8 million was placed in escrow and will be recorded as revenue when received.

Inflation

      We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less which generally minimizes our risk from the adverse effects of inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

      We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.

Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects

      There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

•  unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates,

•  the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results,

•  possible difficulty in selling apartment communities,

•  the timing and closing of planned dispositions under agreement,

•  competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease apartment homes or increase or maintain rents,

•  insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and create refinancing risk,

•  failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our debt service payments and distributions to stockholders,

•  development and construction risks that may impact our profitability,

•  potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes and other weather-related events, which could result in substantial costs,

•  delays in completing developments and lease-ups on schedule,

•  our failure to succeed in new markets,

•  changing interest rates, which could increase interest costs and affect the market price of our securities,

•  potential liability for environmental contamination, which could result in substantial costs,

•  the imposition of federal taxes if we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and

25

•  our internal control over financial reporting may not be considered effective which could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports, and in turn have an adverse effect on our stock price.

      For a discussion of these and other factors affecting our business and prospects, see “Item 1. — Business — Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

      United Dominion is exposed to interest rate changes associated with our unsecured credit facility and other variable rate debt as well as refinancing risk on our fixed rate debt. United Dominion’s involvement with derivative financial instruments is limited and we do not expect to use them for trading or other speculative purposes. In prior periods, United Dominion had used derivative instruments solely to manage its exposure to interest rates.

      See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a more complete discussion of our interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2005, our market risk has not changed materially from the amounts reported on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

      As of March 31, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. In addition, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that during the quarter ended March 31, 2005, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

      It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective under circumstances where our disclosure controls and procedures should reasonably be expected to operate effectively.
