(1)   In December 2004, Post Apartment Homes, L.P. terminated a remarketing agreement related to its $100,000, 6.85% Mandatory Par Put Remarketed Securities due in March 2015. In connection with the termination of the remarketing agreement, Post Apartment Homes, L.P. paid $10,615 (interest expense), including transaction expenses. Under the provisions of the remarketing agreement, the remarketing agent had the right to remarket the $100,000, unsecured notes in March 2005 for a ten-year term at an interest rate calculated as 5.715% plus Post Apartment Homes, L.P.’s then current credit spread to the ten-year treasury rate. Post Apartment Homes, L.P. re-paid these unsecured notes in March 2005.
 
(2)   For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003, the interest factor of rental expense is calculated as one-third of rental expense. For the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the interest factor of rental expense is calculated as one-third of rental expense for all leases except for two leases for which the interest factor is calculated as 100% of rental expense. Post Apartment Homes, L.P. believes these represent appropriate interest factors.
 
(3)   Post Apartment Homes, L.P. would need additional earnings of $25,991 for the year ended December 31, 2004 and $27,381 for the year ended December 31, 2003 for the Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges to equal 1.0.
