These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company’s forward-looking statements: the success of the Company’s business strategies discussed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and in subsequent filings with the SEC; conditions affecting ownership of residential real estate and general conditions in the multi-family residential real estate market; uncertainties associated with the Company’s real estate development and construction; uncertainties associated with the timing and amount of apartment community sales; exposure to economic and other competitive factors due to market concentration; future local and national economic conditions, including changes in job growth, interest rates, the availability of mortgage and other financing and related factors; the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to make required payments associated with its debt financing; the effects of the Company’s leverage on its risk of default and debt service requirements; the impact of a downgrade in the credit rating of the Company’s securities; the effects of a default by the Company or its subsidiaries on an obligation to repay outstanding indebtedness, including cross-defaults and cross-acceleration under other indebtedness; the effects of covenants of the Company’s or its subsidiaries’ mortgage indebtedness on operational flexibility and default risks; the effects of any decision by the government to eliminate Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac or reduce government support for apartment mortgage loans; the Company’s ability to maintain its current dividend level; uncertainties associated with the Company’s condominium for-sale housing business, including the timing and volume of condominium sales; the impact of any additional charges the Company may be required to record in the future related to any impairment in the carrying value of its assets; the impact of competition on the Company’s business, including competition for residents in the Company’s apartment communities and buyers of the Company’s for-sale condominium homes and development locations; the Company’s ability to compete for limited investment opportunities; the effects of changing interest rates and effectiveness of interest rate hedging contracts; the success of the Company’s acquired apartment communities; the Company’s ability to succeed in new markets; the costs associated with compliance with laws requiring access to the Company’s properties by persons with disabilities; the impact of the Company’s ongoing litigation with the U.S. Department of Justice regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act as well as the impact of other litigation; the effects of losses from natural catastrophes in excess of insurance coverage; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; the costs associated with moisture infiltration and resulting mold remediation; the Company’s ability to control joint ventures, properties in which it has joint ownership and corporations and limited partnership in which it has partial interests; the Company’s ability to renew leases or relet units as leases expire; the Company’s ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and the effects of changes in accounting policies and other regulatory matters detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission; increased costs arising from health care reform; any breach of the Company’s privacy or information security systems.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AND RECONCILIATION OF FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND ADJUSTED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

(In thousands)

1) Investment and development expenses include investment group expenses, development personnel and associated costs not allocable to development projects. Other investment costs primarily include land carry costs, principally property taxes and assessments.

2) A summary of revenues and costs and expenses of condominium activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is as follows:

	Three  months ended                 March 31,
	2012		2011
Condominium revenues	$	17,581	$	13,675
Condominium costs and expenses		(11,289)		(12,931)
Gains on sales of condominiums, before income taxes		6,292		744
Income tax benefit		612		—
Net gains on sales of condominiums	$	6,904	$	744

3) Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 includes the Company’s $6,055 share of the gain on the sale of Post Biltmore™, previously owned by a 35% owned unconsolidated entity.

4) The net loss on early extinguishment of indebtedness of $301 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 represents the write-off of a portion of the Company’s unamortized deferred loan costs associated with the refinancing of the Company’s lines of credit.

5) Post Properties, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is the sole general partner, a limited partner and owns a majority interest in Post Apartment Homes, L.P., the Operating Partnership through which the Company conducts its operations. As of March 31, 2012, there were 53,805 units of the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 53,654, or 99.7%, were owned by the Company.

6) Depreciation on consolidated real estate assets is net of the minority interest portion of depreciation on consolidated entities.

7) Since the Company does not add back the depreciation of non-real estate assets in its calculation of FFO, non-real estate related capital expenditures of $79 and $150 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, are excluded from the calculation of adjusted funds from operations available to common shareholders and unitholders.

8) Diluted weighted average shares and units include the impact of dilutive securities totaling 406 and 387 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The dilutive securities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were antidilutive to the computation of income (loss) per share, as the Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders for this period under GAAP. Additionally, basic and diluted weighted average shares and units included the impact of non-vested shares and units totaling 119 and 153 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for the computation of FFO per share. Such non-vested shares and units are considered in the income (loss) per share computations under GAAP using the “two-class method.”

1) Weighted average rate includes credit enhancements and other fees, where applicable. The weighted average rates at March 31, 2011 are based on the debt outstanding at that date. Weighted average interest rate of the unsecured bank term loan represents the effective fixed interest rate based on outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2012, after considering the impact of interest rate swap arrangements that hedge this debt.

2) Weighted average maturity of total debt represents number of years to maturity based on the debt maturities schedule above.

3) Includes $4,923 outstanding on unsecured revolving lines of credit maturing in 2016.

4) Calculated for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

5) Interest coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense. The calculation of the interest coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to net income (loss) and interest expense to consolidated interest expense is included in Table 7 on page 27.

6) Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as net income available for debt service divided by interest expense plus dividends to preferred shareholders. The calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure. A reconciliation of net income available for debt service to net income (loss) and fixed charges to consolidated interest expense plus dividends to preferred shareholders is included in Table 7 on page 27.

7) A computation of this ratio is included in Table 7 on page 27.

8) A computation of this debt ratio is included in Table 6 on page 26.

9) Includes a mortgage note payable of $120,000 that matures in February 2015 at which time it will automatically be extended for a one-year term at a variable interest rate.

2) Units “under contract” includes all units currently under contract. However, the Company has experienced contract terminations in these and other condominium projects when units become available for delivery and may experience additional terminations in connection with existing projects. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that condominium units under contract will close.

3) Amounts represent approximate cash flows from condominium activities beginning in the period of initial closings for each community.

CAPITALIZED COSTS SUMMARY

(In thousands) - (Unaudited)

The Company has a policy of capitalizing those expenditures relating to the acquisition of new assets and the development, construction and rehabilitation of apartment and condominium communities. In addition, the Company capitalizes expenditures that enhance the value of existing assets and expenditures that substantially extend the life of existing assets. All other expenditures necessary to maintain a community in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred. Additionally, for new development communities, carpet, vinyl and blind replacements are expensed as incurred during the first five years (which corresponds to the estimated depreciable life of these assets) after construction completion. Thereafter, these replacements are capitalized. Further, the Company expenses as incurred the interior and exterior painting of operating communities, unless those communities are under major rehabilitation.

The Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, and certain internal personnel and associated costs related to apartment and condominium communities under development, construction, and major rehabilitation. The internal personnel and associated costs are capitalized to the projects under development based upon the effort identifiable with such projects. The Company treats each unit in an apartment and condominium community separately for cost accumulation, capitalization and expense recognition purposes. Prior to the commencement of leasing and sales activities, interest and other construction costs are capitalized and are reflected on the balance sheet as construction in progress. The Company ceases the capitalization of such costs as the residential units in a community become substantially complete and available for occupancy. This results in a proration of these costs between amounts that are capitalized and expensed as the residential units in a development community become available for occupancy. In addition, prior to the completion of units, the Company expenses as incurred substantially all operating expenses (including pre-opening marketing and property management and leasing personnel expenses) of such communities.

A summary of community acquisition and development improvements and other capitalized expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is provided below.

1) The Company’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC resulted from the transfer of three previously owned apartment communities to the Property LLC co-owned with an institutional investor. The assets, liabilities and members’ equity of the Property LLC were recorded at fair value based on agreed-upon amounts contributed to the venture. The credit investments in the Company’s 25% owned Property LLC resulted from financing proceeds distributed in excess of the Company’s historical cost-basis investment. These credit investments are reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

2) These notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.63% and mature in June 2017.

3) This note bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.71% and matures in January 2018, at which time it will be automatically extended for a one-year term at a variable interest rate.

4) This note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.5% and matures in February 2019. The note is prepayable without penalty beginning in February 2017.

5) Amounts include net property and asset management fees to the Company included in “Other Revenues” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

6) Represents GAAP basis net book value plus accumulated depreciation.

7) The unconsolidated entity that owned this apartment community sold it to a third party for gross proceeds of approximately $51,075 in February 2012. The mortgage note of $29,272 was repaid in full upon the sale of the apartment community, and the cash proceeds were distributed to its members. The Company recognized its share of the gain on the sale of this community of $6,055 in its equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities on the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Entity NOI through the date of sale was excluded from the above table since amounts are reported as discontinued operations at the unconsolidated entity level.

1) This supplemental financial and other data provides adjustments to certain GAAP financial measures and Net Operating Income (“NOI”), which is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses internally to calculate Net Asset Value (“NAV”). These measures, as adjusted, are also non-GAAP financial measures. With the exception of NOI, the most comparable GAAP measure for each of the non-GAAP measures presented below in the “As Adjusted” column is the corresponding number presented in the first column listed below.

The Company presents NOI for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, for properties stabilized as of January 1, 2012, so that a capitalization rate may be applied and an approximate value for the assets determined. Properties not stabilized as of January 1, 2012, are presented at full undepreciated cost. Other tangible assets, total liabilities and the liquidation value of preferred shares are also presented.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER DEFINED TERMS

Definitions of Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Defined Terms

The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures and other defined terms in this accompanying Supplemental Financial Data. These non-GAAP financial measures include FFO, AFFO, net operating income, same store capital expenditures and certain debt statistics and ratios. The definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures are summarized below. The Company believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring financial performance and/or liquidity and comparing such performance and/or liquidity to other REITs.

Funds from Operations - The Company uses FFO as an operating measure. The Company uses the NAREIT definition of FFO. FFO is defined by NAREIT to mean net income (loss) available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable operating property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. FFO presented in the Company’s press release and Supplemental Financial Data is not necessarily comparable to FFO presented by other real estate companies because not all real estate companies use the same definition. The Company’s FFO is comparable to the FFO of real estate companies that use the current NAREIT definition.

Accounting for real estate assets using historical cost accounting under GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its April 2002 White Paper on Funds from Operations that “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” As a result, the concept of FFO was created by NAREIT for the REIT industry to provide an alternate measure. Since the Company agrees with the concept of FFO and appreciates the reasons surrounding its creation, the Company believes that FFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance. In addition, since most equity REITs provide FFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company’s results to those of other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss) available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.

Adjusted Funds From Operations - The Company also uses adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as an operating measure. AFFO is defined as FFO less operating capital expenditures after adjusting for the impact of non-cash straight-line long-term ground lease expense, non-cash impairment charges, debt extinguishment gains (losses) and preferred stock redemption costs. The Company believes that AFFO is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for an equity REIT because it provides investors with an indication of the REIT’s ability to fund operating capital expenditures through earnings. In addition, since most equity REITs provide AFFO information to the investment community, the Company believes that AFFO is a useful supplemental measure for comparing the Company to other equity REITs. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss) available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to AFFO.

Property Net Operating Income - The Company uses property NOI, including same store NOI and same store NOI by market, as an operating measure. NOI is defined as rental and other revenues from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). The Company believes that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of the core operations, rather than factoring in depreciation and amortization, financing costs and general and administrative expenses generally incurred at the corporate level. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, same store groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that NOI, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The Company believes that the line on its consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income (loss)” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI.

Supplemental Financial Data 19 | P a g e  

Same Store Capital Expenditures - The Company uses same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures as cash flow measures. Same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures are important indicators of the costs incurred by the Company in maintaining its same store communities on an ongoing basis. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the Company’s other operating segments consisting of communities stabilized in the prior year, lease-up communities, rehabilitation communities, sold properties and commercial properties in addition to same store information. Therefore, the Company believes that the Company’s presentation of same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is necessary to demonstrate same store replacement costs over time. The Company believes that the most directly comparable GAAP measure to same store annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures is the line on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows entitled “property capital expenditures,” which also includes revenue generating capital expenditures.

Debt Statistics and Debt Ratios - The Company uses a number of debt statistics and ratios as supplemental measures of liquidity. The numerator and/or the denominator of certain of these statistics and/or ratios include non-GAAP financial measures that have been reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. These debt statistics and ratios include: (1) interest coverage ratios; (2) fixed charge coverage ratios; (3) total debt as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (4) total debt plus preferred equity as a percentage of undepreciated real estate (adjusted for joint venture partner’s share of debt); (5) a ratio of consolidated debt to total assets; (6) a ratio of secured debt to total assets; (7) a ratio of total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt; (8) a ratio of consolidated income available for debt service to annual debt service charge; and (9) a debt to annualized income available for debt service ratio. A number of these debt statistics and ratios are derived from covenants found in the Company’s debt agreements, including, among others, the Company’s senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Company presents these measures because the degree of leverage could affect the Company’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes. The Company uses these measures internally as an indicator of liquidity and the Company believes that these measures are also utilized by the investment and analyst communities to better understand the Company’s liquidity.

The Company uses income available for debt service to calculate certain debt ratios and statistics. Income available for debt service is defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gains on sales of real estate assets, non-cash impairment charges and other non-cash income and expenses. Income available for debt service is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP, and the Company’s calculation thereof may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies, including EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA.

Average Economic Occupancy - The Company uses average economic occupancy as a statistical measure of operating performance. The Company defines average economic occupancy as gross potential rent less vacancy losses, model expenses and bad debt expenses divided by gross potential rent for the period, expressed as a percentage.
