CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.    Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

        The accompanying interim unaudited financial information has 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 generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Camden Property Trust as of September 30, 2004, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Organization

        Camden Property Trust is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized on May 25, 1993. We, with our subsidiaries, report as a single business segment, with activities related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. As of September 30, 2004, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 148 multifamily properties containing 53,122 apartment homes located in ten states. At September 30, 2004, we had one recently completed multifamily property containing 538 apartment homes in lease-up. We had 1,114 apartment homes under development at three of our multifamily properties, including 464 apartment homes at one multifamily property owned through a joint venture. Additionally, we have several sites that we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.

        As of September 30, 2004, we had operating properties in 17 markets. No one market contributed more than 15% of our net operating income for the quarter then ended. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, Houston, Las Vegas and Dallas contributed 13.9%, 13.9% and 12.7%, respectively, to our net operating income.

        Approximately 24% of our multifamily apartment units at September 30, 2004 were held in Camden Operating, L.P. This operating partnership has issued both common and preferred limited partnership units. As of September 30, 2004, we held 83.2% of the common limited partnership units and the sole 1% general partnership interest of the operating partnership. The remaining 15.8% of the common limited partnership units are primarily held by former officers, directors and investors of Paragon Group, Inc., which we acquired in 1997.

Significant Accounting Policies

        Real Estate Assets, at Cost. Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes that are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the



6




apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

        Capitalized interest was $2.3 million and $7.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, and $3.8 million and $12.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. Capitalized real estate taxes were $0.6 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. All operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes for properties in the development and leasing phase are expensed. Upon substantial completion of the project, all apartment homes are considered operating and we begin expensing all items that were previously considered carrying costs.

        We capitalized $18.0 million and $15.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, of renovation and improvement costs which we believe extended the economic lives and enhanced the earnings of our multifamily properties. Capital expenditures are capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years.

        Property operating and maintenance expenses included repairs and maintenance expenses totaling $8.2 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared with $8.0 million and $22.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. Costs recorded as repairs and maintenance include all costs which do not alter the primary use, extend the expected useful life or improve the safety or efficiency of the related asset. Our largest repair and maintenance expenditures related to landscaping, interior painting and floor coverings.

        If an event or change in circumstances indicates that a potential impairment in the value of a property has occurred, our policy is to assess any potential impairment by making a comparison of the current and projected cash flows for such property over its remaining holding period, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. If such carrying amounts were in excess of the estimated projected cash flows of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair market value, less costs to sell.

        During the first quarter of 2004, 2.4 acres of undeveloped land held in Dallas was classified as land held for sale, upon the commencement of a plan to dispose of the asset. In connection with our decision to dispose of the asset, we incurred an impairment charge of $1.1 million to write-down the carrying value of the land to its fair value, less costs to sell. The net fair value expected to be received is estimated to be $1.8 million.

        Stock-based Employee Compensation. During the first nine months of 2004, we granted 153,386 restricted shares to certain key employees and non-employee trust managers. The restricted shares were issued based on the market value of our common shares at the date of grant and have vesting periods of up to five years. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, 130,451 restricted shares became fully vested.

        During the first nine months of 2004, we also granted options to purchase 411,000 common shares with an exercise price of $42.90 per share, which was equal to the market value on the date of grant. The options become exercisable in equal increments over three years, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, previously granted options to purchase 469,321 shares became exercisable, and 652,248 options were exercised at a weighted average price of $34.46 per share.

        Prior to 2003, we accounted for option grants under the recognition and measurement provisions of the Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. Beginning January 1, 2003, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of



7




SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As a result of our adoption of the prospective method set forth in SFAS No. 148, we recognize stock-based employee compensation as new options are awarded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we expensed $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, compared with $53,000 and $0.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, associated with awards that are now being accounted for under the fair value method.

        The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding unvested awards in each period indicated:

   Diluted - pro forma     0.13     0.14     0.52     0.47  

        The fair value of each option granted in 2004 and 2003, was estimated on the date of grant utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 4.2% and 4.0%, respectively, expected life of ten years, dividend yield of 5.9% and 8.1%, respectively, and expected share volatility of 18.0% and 18.3%, respectively. The weighted average fair value of options granted in 2004 and 2003, was $3.83 and $1.38 per share, respectively, and will be amortized over the vesting period in accordance with SFAS No. 148.

         Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FIN 46”), which was revised in December 2003. This interpretation requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. This interpretation was effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Our application of FIN 46, as revised, did not require the consolidation of any additional entities.

        In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150, as amended, was effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

8




        In June 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which provides guidance to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. EITF 03-01 is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-01 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

    Reclassifications.   Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in prior year financial statements to conform with current year presentation.

2.     Per Share Data

        Basic earnings per share is computed using net income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflects common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of common share options and awards granted and units convertible into common shares. Only those items that have a dilutive impact on our basic earnings per share are included in diluted earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, 1.9 million units convertible into common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation, as they were not dilutive.

        The following table presents information necessary to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003:

3.     Investments in Joint Ventures

        In December 2003, Camden USA, Inc., one of our wholly owned subsidiaries, contributed undeveloped land located in Ashburn, Virginia to a joint venture in return for a 20% interest in the joint venture, totaling $1.5 million, and approximately $12.7 million in cash. The remaining 80% interest is owned by Westwind Equity, LLC, an unrelated third party, which contributed $5.8 million to the joint venture. We entered into this transaction to reduce the risk associated with entering into a new market. The joint venture is developing a 464 apartment home community at a total estimated cost of $69.1 million. Concurrently with this transaction, we provided a $9.0 million mezzanine loan to the joint venture. We are providing development services to the joint

9




venture, and fees earned for these services totaled $0.2 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. At September 30, 2004, the joint venture had total assets of $37.9 million and had third-party secured debt totaling $20.6 million.

        Management believes that none of the investments in joint ventures qualify for consolidation as a variable interest entity. These joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method as we exercise significant influence.

4.     Third Party Construction Services

        Our construction division performs services for our internally developed communities, as well as provides construction management and general contracting services for third-party owners of multifamily, commercial and retail properties. We are currently under contract on projects ranging from $1.2 million to $19.3 million. We earn fees on these projects ranging from 3% to 10% of the total contracted construction cost, which we recognize when they are earned. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, fees earned from third-party construction projects totaled $1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively, compared with $0.5 million and $2.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively, and are included in fee and asset management revenues in our consolidated statements of operations.

        During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded cost overruns of $0.7 million, compared with $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, on fixed fee projects, which represented the estimate of our remaining costs to complete the projects. These cost overruns are included in fee and asset management expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

5.     Notes receivable

        We have a mezzanine financing program under which we provide financing to owners of real estate properties. We had $53.6 million in secured notes receivable outstanding as of September 30, 2004. These notes, which mature through 2008, accrue interest at rates ranging from 5% to 18%, which is recognized as earned.

        The following is a summary of our notes receivable under this program excluding notes receivable from affiliates:

        We have reviewed the terms and conditions underlying each note and management believes that none of these notes qualify for consolidation as a variable interest entity. Management believes that these notes are collectable, and no impairment existed at September 30, 2004.

        In December 2003, in connection with a joint venture transaction discussed in Note 3, we provided mezzanine financing to the joint venture, in which we own a 20% interest. As of September 30, 2004, the balance of the note receivable totaled $10.0 million. This note accrues interest at 14% per year and will mature in 2006.

Total notes payable     $ 1,605.3 $ 1,509.7



        We have a $500 million unsecured line of credit which matures in August 2006. The scheduled interest rate is currently based on spreads over LIBOR. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $250 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations; all of which we were in compliance with at quarter end.

        Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available to us. At September 30, 2004 we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $17.1 million, and had $148.9 million available under our unsecured line of credit.

        In July 2004, we issued from our $1.1 billion shelf registration an aggregate principal amount of $100 million 4.70% five-year senior unsecured notes maturing on July 15, 2009. Interest on the notes is



11




payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2005. We may redeem the notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest, plus a make-whole provision. The notes are direct, senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were $99.2 million, net of issuance costs of $0.6 million. We used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured line of credit.

        In September 2004, we paid off six conventional mortgage notes totaling $58.2 million which had a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. We repaid these mortgages using proceeds available under our unsecured line of credit.

        At September 30, 2004, $785.5 million was available for issuance in debt securities, preferred shares, common shares or warrants from our $1.1 billion shelf registration. We have significant unencumbered real estate assets which could be sold or used as collateral for financing purposes should other sources of capital not be available.

        At September 30, 2004, our floating rate debt, which includes our unsecured line of credit, totaled $411.0 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 2.2%.

7.     Net Change in Operating Accounts

        The effect of changes in the operating accounts on net cash provided by operating activities is as follows:

          Net change in operating accounts   $ 11,259   $ 5,543  



8.     Preferred Units

        Our operating partnership has issued $100 million of 7.0% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units and $53 million of 8.25% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units. Distributions on the preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The Series B preferred units are redeemable beginning in 2008 and the Series C preferred units are redeemable beginning in the third quarter of 2004, in each case by the operating partnership for cash at par plus the amount of any accumulated and unpaid distributions. The preferred units are convertible beginning in 2009 by the holder into a fixed number of corresponding Series B or C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares. The preferred units are subordinate to present and future debt. Distributions on the preferred units totaled $2.7 million and $3.2 million for the three months and $8.4 million and $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

        During the third quarter of 2004, we redeemed 1,420,000 8.25% Series C preferred units at their redemption price of $25.00 per unit, or an aggregate of $35.5 million, plus accrued and unpaid distributions.



12




In connection with the issuance of the Series C preferred units, we incurred $0.7 million in issuance costs which had been recorded as a reduction to minority interests. These issuance costs were expensed in connection with the redemption of the Series C preferred units.

9.    Securities Repurchase Program

        In 1998, we began repurchasing our securities under a program approved by our Board of Trust Managers. To date, the Board has authorized us to repurchase or redeem up to $250 million of our securities through open market purchases and private transactions. As of September 30, 2004, we had repurchased 8.8 million common shares and redeemed approximately 106,000 units convertible into common shares for a total cost of $243.6 million. No common shares or units convertible into common shares have been repurchased under this program during the first nine months of 2004.

10.   Townhome Sales

        We constructed 17 for-sale townhomes in the downtown Dallas area at a total cost of approximately $5.5 million. During the first nine months of 2003, we sold the four remaining units at a total sales price of approximately $1.3 million. The proceeds received from these townhome sales are included in other revenues in our consolidated statements of operations. Other expenses in our consolidated statements of operations represents the construction costs and marketing expenses associated with the townhomes.

11.   Related Party Transactions

        We perform property management services for properties owned by joint ventures in which we own an interest.  Management fees earned on these properties amounted to $0.3 million for each of the quarters and $0.9 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

        In 1999 and 2000, our Board of Trust Managers approved a plan that permitted four of our current senior executive officers and two of our former executive officers to complete the purchase of $23.0 million of our common shares in open market transactions. The purchases were funded with unsecured full recourse personal loans made to each of the executives by a third-party lender.  The loans mature beginning in the fourth quarter of 2004, bear interest at market rates and require interest to be paid quarterly.  To facilitate the employee share purchase transactions, we entered into a guaranty agreement with the lender for payment of all indebtedness, fees and liabilities of the officers to the lender.  Simultaneously, we entered into a reimbursement agreement to reimburse us, should any amounts ever be paid by us pursuant to the terms of the guaranty agreement.  The reimbursement agreements require the executives to pay interest from the date any amounts are paid by us until repayment by the officer.  We have not had to perform under the guaranty agreement.

        During the second quarter of 2004, two of our senior executive officers repaid the full amount outstanding under their unsecured full recourse personal loans to a third-party lender which totaled $10.0 million. The guaranty agreements associated with those two loans terminated on the date of repayment.

12.   Commitments and Contingencies

        Construction Contracts. As of September 30, 2004, we were obligated for approximately $31.1 million of additional expenditures on our two wholly-owned projects currently under development (a substantial amount of which we expect to be funded with our unsecured line of credit).

        Contingencies. We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.



13




        Subsequent to September 30, 2004, a lawsuit relating to the proposed merger with Summit Properties, Inc. was filed naming us as one of the defendants. See more information at Note 13.

        In the ordinary course of our business, we issue letters of intent indicating a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures. Such letters of intent are non-binding, and neither party to the letter of intent is obligated to pursue negotiations unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even if definitive contracts are entered into, the letters of intent relating to the purchase and sale of real property and resulting contracts generally contemplate that such contracts will provide the purchaser with time to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence, during which periods the purchaser will have the ability to terminate the contracts without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. There can be no assurance that definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by letters of intent or that we will consummate any transaction contemplated by any definitive contract. Furthermore, due diligence periods for real property are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or sale of real property becomes probable at the time that the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. We are then at risk under a real property acquisition contract, but only to the extent of any earnest money deposits associated with the contract, and are obligated to sell under a real property sales contract.

        We are currently in the due diligence period for the purchase of land for development and the acquisition of operating properties. No assurance can be made that we will be able to complete the negotiations or become satisfied with the outcome of the due diligence.

        Lease commitments. At September 30, 2004, we had long-term operating leases covering certain land, office facilities and equipment. Rental expense totaled $0.5 million and $1.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Minimum annual rental commitments for the remaining three months of 2004 are $0.5 million, and for the years ending December 31, 2005 through 2008 are $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $1.5 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, and $4.1 million in the aggregate thereafter.

        Employment agreements. We have employment agreements with six of our senior officers, the terms of which expire at various times through August 20, 2005. Such agreements provide for minimum salary levels as well as various incentive compensation arrangements, which are payable based on the attainment of specific goals. The agreements also provide for severance payments plus a gross-up payment if certain situations occur, such as termination without cause or a change of control. In the case of four of the agreements, the severance payment equals one times the respective current salary base in the case of termination without cause and 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in the case of change of control. In the case of the other two agreements, the severance payment generally equals 2.99 times the respective average annual compensation over the previous three fiscal years in connection with, among other things, a termination without cause or a change of control, and the officer would be entitled to receive continuation and vesting of certain benefits in the case of such termination.

13.   Subsequent Event

        On October 4, 2004, Camden, Camden Summit, Inc. (f/k/a Camden Sparks, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Camden (“Camden Summit”), and Summit Properties Inc. (“Summit”) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 4, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 6, 2004 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Summit will be merged with and into Camden Summit. Summit is the sole general partner of Summit Properties Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).

14




        Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Summit stockholders may elect, on a share-by-share basis, to receive either $31.20 in cash or 0.6687 of a Camden common share at the closing. These elections are subject to reallocation so that the aggregate amount of cash issued in the merger to Summit’s stockholders will equal approximately $434.4 million. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by Summit if the value of a Camden share decreases to below $39.31, during a period leading up to the merger, unless we elect to increase the exchange ratio. The limited partners in the Operating Partnership will be offered, on a unit-by-unit basis, the opportunity to redeem their partnership units for $31.20 in cash per unit or to remain in the Operating Partnership following the merger at a unit valuation equal to 0.6687 of a Camden common share.

        Completion of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Summit and the shareholders of Camden. Completion of the Merger is also subject to approval by the limited partners of the Operating Partnership of, among other things, the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership. William B. McGuire, Jr. and William F. Paulsen, members of the Board of Directors of Summit, have entered into a Voting Agreement with Camden pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of the interests attributable to their limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in favor of such agreement.

        We intend to finance the cash portion of the merger consideration using a combination of available borrowing capacity under our line of credit and a new bridge loan facility to be entered into before the closing of the merger. In October 2004, we received a commitment for a $500 million bridge loan facility with a term of 364 days at an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 90 basis points, which rate is subject to certain conditions. We currently expect to form a joint venture and transfer to the venture multifamily properties with an estimated value of $450 million to $500 million. We anticipate that we will retain a minority interest in the venture and continue to provide property management services for the properties transferred to the venture. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to refinance the bridge loan.

        On October 6, 2004, a purported class action complaint was filed in the General Court of Justice, Superior Court Division, of the State of North Carolina, County of Mecklenburg, by an alleged Summit stockholder. This complaint names as defendants Camden, Summit and each member of the board of directors of Summit and principally alleges that the merger and the acts of the Summit directors constitute a breach of the Summit defendants’ fiduciary duties to Summit stockholders. The plaintiff in the lawsuit seeks, among other things (1) a declaration that each defendant has committed or aided and abetted a breach of fiduciary duty to the Summit stockholders, (2) to preliminarily and permanently enjoin the Merger, (3) to rescind the Merger in the event that it is consummated, (4) an order to permit a stockholders’ committee to ensure an unspecified “fair procedure, adequate procedural safe-guards and independent input by plaintiff” in connection with any transaction for Summit shares, (5) unspecified compensatory damages and (6) attorneys’ fees. On November, 3, 2004, Camden removed the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, Charlotte Division, and filed an Answer and Counterclaim for declaratory judgment denying the plaintiff’s allegations of wrongdoing.

Business

        Camden Property Trust is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and, with our subsidiaries, report as a single business segment, with activities related to the ownership, development, construction and management of multifamily apartment communities. As of September 30, 2004, we owned interests in, operated or were developing 148 multifamily properties containing 53,122 apartment homes located in ten states. Our properties, excluding joint ventures and properties in lease-up and under development, had a weighted average occupancy rate of 94.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Weighted average occupancy was 92.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. At September 30, 2004, we had one recently completed multifamily property containing 538 apartment homes in lease-up. We had 1,114 apartment homes under development at three of our multifamily properties, including 464 apartment homes at one multifamily property owned through a joint venture. Additionally, we have several sites that we intend to develop into multifamily apartment communities.

        As of September 30, 2004, we had operating properties in 17 markets. No one market contributed more than 15% of our net operating income for the quarter then ended. For the quarter ended September 30, 2004, Houston, Las Vegas and Dallas contributed 13.9%, 13.9% and 12.7%, respectively, to our net operating income. We continually evaluate our portfolio to ensure appropriate geographic diversification in order to manage our risk of market concentration. We seek to selectively dispose of assets that management believes are highly capital intensive, have a lower projected net operating income growth rate than the overall portfolio, or no longer conform to our operating and investment strategies.

        Approximately 24% of our multifamily apartment units at September 30, 2004 were held in Camden Operating, L.P. This operating partnership has issued both common and preferred limited partnership units. As of September 30, 2004, we held 83.2% of the common limited partnership units and the sole 1% general

16




partnership interest of the operating partnership. The remaining 15.8% of the common limited partnership units are primarily held by former officers, directors and investors of Paragon Group, Inc., which we acquired in 1997.

        On October 4, 2004, Camden, Camden Summit, Inc. (f/k/a Camden Sparks, Inc.), a wholly owned subsidiary of Camden (“Camden Summit”), and Summit Properties Inc. (“Summit”) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 4, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 6, 2004 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Summit will be merged with and into Camden Summit. Summit is the sole general partner of Summit Properties Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).

        Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Summit stockholders may elect, on a share-by-share basis, to receive either $31.20 in cash or 0.6687 of a Camden common share at the closing. These elections are subject to reallocation so that the aggregate amount of cash issued in the merger to Summit’s stockholders will equal approximately $434.4 million. The Merger Agreement may be terminated by Summit if the value of a Camden share decreases to below $39.31, during a period leading up to the merger, unless we elect to increase the exchange ratio. The limited partners in the Operating Partnership will be offered, on a unit-by-unit basis, the opportunity to redeem their partnership units for $31.20 in cash per unit or to remain in the Operating Partnership following the merger at a unit valuation equal to 0.6687 of a Camden common share.

        Completion of the merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, the approval of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Summit and the shareholders of Camden. Completion of the Merger is also subject to approval by the limited partners of the Operating Partnership of, among other things, the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership. William B. McGuire, Jr. and William F. Paulsen, members of the Board of Directors of Summit, have entered into a Voting Agreement with Camden pursuant to which they have agreed to vote all of the interests attributable to their limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership in favor of such agreement.

        We intend to finance the cash portion of the merger consideration using a combination of available borrowing capacity under our line of credit and a new bridge loan facility to be entered into before the closing of the merger. In October 2004, we received a commitment for a $500 million bridge loan facility with a term of 364 days at an interest rate based on LIBOR plus 90 basis points, which rate is subject to certain conditions. We currently expect to form a joint venture and transfer to the venture multifamily properties with an estimated value of $450 million to $500 million. We anticipate that we will retain a minority interest in the venture and continue to provide property management services for the properties transferred to the venture. We intend to use a portion of the proceeds from this transaction to refinance the bridge loan.

        Real estate assets are carried at cost plus capitalized carrying charges. Carrying charges are primarily interest and real estate taxes that are capitalized as part of properties under development. Expenditures directly related to the development, acquisition and improvement of real estate assets, excluding internal costs relating to acquisitions of operating properties, are capitalized at cost as land, buildings and improvements. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits and other related costs that are clearly attributable to the development of properties, are also capitalized. All construction and carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the balance sheet in properties under development until the apartment homes are substantially completed. Upon substantial completion of the apartment homes, the total cost for the apartment homes and the associated land is transferred to buildings and improvements and land, respectively, and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method of depreciation.

        Where possible, we stage our construction to allow leasing and occupancy during the construction period, which we believe minimizes the duration of the lease-up period following completion of construction. Our accounting policy related to properties in the development and leasing phase is that all operating expenses associated with completed apartment homes are expensed.

        If an event or change in circumstance indicates that a potential impairment in the value of a property has occurred, our policy is to assess any potential impairment by making a comparison of the current and projected cash flows for such property over its remaining holding period, on an undiscounted basis, to the carrying amount of the property. If such carrying amounts were in excess of the estimated projected cash flows of the property, we would recognize an impairment loss equivalent to an amount required to adjust the carrying amount to its estimated fair market value, less costs to sell.

        During the first quarter of 2004, 2.4 acres of undeveloped land held in Dallas was classified as land held for sale, upon the commencement of a plan to dispose of the asset. In connection with our decision to dispose of the asset, we incurred an impairment charge of $1.1 million to write-down the carrying value of the land to its fair value, less costs to sell. The net fair value expected to be received is estimated to be $1.8 million.

        Our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2004 included $174.4 million related to wholly owned properties under development. Of this amount, $29.1 million relates to our two projects currently under development, Camden Farmers Market II, and Camden Lago Vista. Additionally, we have $145.3 million invested in land held for future development. Included in this amount is $63.6 million related to projects we expect to begin constructing in late 2004 or early 2005, including $30.3 million of land located in Virginia which was acquired in the second quarter of 2004. We also have $46.2 million invested in land tracts adjacent to current development projects, which are being utilized in conjunction with those projects. Upon completion of these development projects, we expect to utilize this land to further develop apartment homes in these areas. We may also sell certain parcels of these undeveloped land tracts to third parties for commercial and retail development.

Results of Operations

        Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period to period are primarily due to property developments, dispositions, acquisitions, and the performance of the stabilized properties in the portfolio. Where appropriate, comparisons are made on a dollars-per-weighted-average-apartment home basis in order to adjust for such changes in the number of apartments homes owned during each period. Selected weighted averages for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

Three Months

Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003

        Net income decreased $0.1 million, or 2.2%, from $5.9 million to $5.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in net income was due to many factors, which included, but were not limited to, increases in interest, depreciation, and other non-property related expenses, including the charge off of original issuance costs of redeemed perpetual preferred units. These decreases were partially offset by increases in property net operating income and other non-property related revenues. Our primary financial focus for our apartment communities is net operating income. Net operating income represents total property revenues less total property expenses. Net operating income increased $1.3 million, or 2.2%, from $59.5 million to $60.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

        Total property revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased $3.6 million over 2003, and increased from $733 to $749 on a per apartment home per month basis. Total property revenues from our same store properties increased 0.5%, from $96.6 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $97.1 million for the third quarter of 2004, which represents an increase of $4 on a per apartment home per month basis. For same-store properties, rental rates on a per apartment home per month basis increased $19 from the third quarter of 2003 to the third quarter of 2004, and vacancy loss decreased $3 per apartment home over the same period. These increases in revenues were partially offset by increases in concessions granted which increased $19 per apartment home per month.

        Property revenues from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $8.8 million for the third quarter of 2004 due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline.

        Other revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased $1.1 million from the same quarter ended 2003. This increase is attributable to increases in loans outstanding under our mezzanine financing program.

        Total property expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 increased $2.3 million, or 5.3%, as compared to the same quarter in 2003, and increased from $3,681 to $3,826 on an annualized per apartment home basis. Total property expenses from our same store properties increased 2.5%, from $40.2 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $41.2 million for the third quarter of 2004, which represents an increase of $90 on an annualized per apartment home basis. The increase in same store property expenses per apartment home is



21




primarily due to increases in salary and benefit expense and property insurance of $78 and $21 on annualized per apartment home basis, respectively. Property expenses from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $3.8 million for the third quarter of 2004, which is consistent with the growth in revenues during the same period.

        Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased from $2.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to salary and benefit expenses related to the addition of regional supervision personnel.

        Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third party construction projects and property management for third parties, increased from $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to $0.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to costs associated with third party construction projects.

        General and administrative expenses increased 5.1% from $3.9 million to $4.1 million, but remained constant as a percent of revenues at 3.7% for the quarters ended September 30, 2003 and 2004. The increase was primarily due to increases in salary and benefit expenses.

        Gross interest cost before interest capitalized to development properties decreased $0.8 million, or 3.6%, from $22.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 to $21.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The overall decrease in interest expense was due to declines in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt, due to declines in variable interest rates and savings from refinancing maturing debt at lower rates. This decrease was partially offset by higher average debt balances that were incurred to fund our increase in real estate assets. Interest capitalized decreased to $2.3 million from $3.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, due to lower average balances in our development pipeline.

        Depreciation and amortization increased from $27.0 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $27.9 million for the third quarter of 2004. This increase was due to new development and capital improvements placed in service and issuance of new debt during the past year.

        Gain on sale of properties for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 was from the sale of 7.9 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston.

        Distributions on units convertible into perpetual preferred shares decreased from $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2003 to $2.7 million for the third quarter of 2004, as a result of an amendment to the terms of the Series B preferred units which was effective beginning December 1, 2003, as well as the redemption of $35.5 million in Series C preferred units in September 2004. Original issuance costs of $0.7 million were expensed in connection with the redemption of the Series C preferred units.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and September 30, 2003

        Net income increased $2.7 million, or 13.2%, from $20.2 million to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in net income was due to many factors, which included, but were not limited to, increases in property net operating income and other non-property related revenues. These increases were partially offset by increases in interest and depreciation expense, an impairment loss on land held for sale and decreases in gains from land sales and income from joint ventures. Our primary financial focus for our apartment communities is net operating income. Net operating income represents total property revenues less total property expenses. Net operating income increased $7.8 million, or 4.4%, from $177.3 million to $185.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

Development and lease-up communities are non-stabilized communities we have developed or acquired after January 1, 2003. Dispositions represent communities we have sold since January 1, 2003 but are not included in discontinued operations.

        Total property revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $15.0 million over 2003, and increased from $722 to $745 on a per apartment home per month basis. Total property revenues from our same store properties increased 1.4%, from $286.4 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $290.3 million for the first nine months of 2004, which represents an increase of $10 on a per apartment home per month basis. For same-store properties, rental rates on a per apartment home per month basis increased $24 from the first nine months of 2003 to the first nine months of 2004, and vacancy loss decreased $13 per apartment home over the same period. These increases in revenues were partially offset by increases in concessions granted which increased $29 per apartment home per month.

        Property revenues from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $13.6 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $24.8 million for the first nine months of 2004 due to the completion and lease-up of properties in our development pipeline.

        Fee and asset management revenues in the first nine months of 2004 increased $1.2 million over the same period in 2003. This increase was primarily due to construction and development fees earned on third party projects.

        Other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $4.6 million from the same period in 2003. Other revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 included interest income of $5.4 million from our mezzanine financing program, $1.7 million related to an insurance settlement for lost rents related to a fire at one of our communities in 2000 and $0.8 million associated with the sale of an e-commerce investment that had previously been written off. Other revenues for the nine months ended

September 30, 2003 included interest income of $2.1 million from our mezzanine financing program and $1.2 million in revenues from townhome sales.

        Total property expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 increased $7.2 million, or 5.8%, as compared to the same period in 2003, and increased from $3,555 to $3,698 on an annualized per apartment home basis. Total property expenses from our same store properties increased 2.6%, from $116.5 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $119.6 million for the first nine months of 2004, which represents an increase of $91 on an annualized per apartment home basis. The increase in same store property expenses per apartment home is primarily due to a 17.4% increase in property insurance expense, combined with slight increases in all other expense categories. Property expenses from our non-same store, development and lease-up properties increased from $6.3 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $10.5 million for the first nine months of 2004, which is consistent with the growth in revenues during the same period.

        Property management expense, which represents regional supervision and accounting costs related to property operations, increased from $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase was primarily due to increases in salary and benefit expenses related to the addition of regional supervision personnel.

        Fee and asset management expense, which represents expenses related to third party construction projects and property management for third parties, decreased from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in costs associated with our third party construction division, including decreases in cost overruns on fixed fee projects of $1.3 million, partially offset by increases in salary and benefit costs.

        General and administrative expenses increased 4.0% from $11.9 million to $12.4 million, but decreased as a percent of revenues from 3.9% to 3.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively. The increase in expense was primarily due to salary and benefit expenses including expenses associated with share-based compensation.

        Gross interest cost before interest capitalized to development properties decreased $1.1 million, or 1.6%, from $67.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 to $66.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The overall decrease in interest expense was due to declines in the average interest rate on our outstanding debt, due to declines in variable interest rates and savings from the refinancing of maturing debt at lower rates. This decrease was partially offset by higher average debt balances that were incurred to fund our increase in real estate assets. Interest capitalized decreased to $7.0 million from $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, due to lower average balances in our development pipeline.

        Depreciation and amortization increased from $80.6 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $82.5 million for the first nine months of 2004. This increase was primarily due to new development and capital improvements placed in service and issuance of new debt during the past year.

        Gain on sale of properties for the first nine months ended September 30, 2004 related to a gain of $1.3 million from the sale of 9.9 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston. Gain on sale of properties for the first nine months ended September 30, 2003 was from the sale of 61.1 acres of undeveloped land located in Houston.

        The $1.1 million impairment loss on land held for sale related to 2.4 acres of undeveloped land located in Dallas, which was classified as land held for sale during the first nine months of 2004.



24




        Equity in income of joint ventures decreased $2.9 million from the first nine months of 2003, primarily from gains recognized on sale of properties held in joint ventures in 2003. Our portion of the gain recognized on these property sales totaled $1.4 million during the first nine months of 2003.

        Distributions on units convertible into perpetual preferred shares decreased from $9.7 million for the first nine months of 2003 to $8.4 million for the first nine months of 2004, as a result of an amendment to the terms of the Series B preferred units which was effective beginning December 1, 2003, as well as the redemption of $35.5 million in Series C preferred units in September, 2004. Original issuance costs of $0.7 million were expensed in connection with the redemption of the Series C preferred units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financial Structure

        We intend to continue maintaining what management believes to be a conservative capital structure by:


      (i)     using what management believes is a prudent combination of debt and common and preferred equity;    
    (ii)   extending and sequencing the maturity dates of our debt where possible;  
    (iii)   managing interest rate exposure using what management believes are prudent levels of fixed and floating rate debt;  
    (iv)   borrowing on an unsecured basis in order to maintain a substantial number of unencumbered assets; and  
    (v)   maintaining conservative coverage ratios.  

        The interest expense coverage ratio, net of capitalized interest, was 2.9 times for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. At September 30, 2004 and 2003, 89.0% and 85.2%, respectively, of our properties (based on invested capital) were unencumbered. Our weighted average maturity of debt, excluding our line of credit, was 7.0 years and 6.0 years at September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Interest expense coverage ratio is derived by dividing interest expense for the period into the sum of income before gain on sale of land, impairment loss on land held for sale, equity in income of joint ventures and minority interests, depreciation, amortization and interest expense.

Liquidity

        We intend to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash flows provided by operations, our unsecured line of credit discussed in the “Financial Flexibility” section and other short-term borrowings. We expect that our ability to generate cash will be sufficient to meet our short-term liquidity needs, which include:


      (i)     operating expenses;    
    (ii)   current debt service requirements;  
    (iii)   recurring capital expenditures;  
    (iv)   initial funding of property developments, acquisitions and mezzanine financings;  
    (v)   common share repurchases; and  
    (vi)   distributions on our common and preferred equity.  

        We consider our long-term liquidity requirements to be the repayment of maturing debt, including borrowings under our unsecured line of credit that were used to fund development and acquisition activities. We intend to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through the use of common and preferred equity capital, senior unsecured debt and property dispositions. We expect to use the proceeds from any property sales for reinvestment in acquisitions or new developments or reduction of debt.



25




        We intend to concentrate our growth efforts toward selective development and acquisition opportunities in our current markets, and through the acquisition of existing operating properties and the development of properties in selected new markets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we incurred $63.8 million in development costs and no acquisition costs. We currently have two wholly owned properties under construction at a projected aggregate cost of approximately $66.5 million, $29.1 million of which had been incurred through September 30, 2004. At period end, we were obligated for approximately $31.1 million under construction contracts related to these projects (a substantial amount of which we expect to fund with our unsecured line of credit). We intend to fund our developments and acquisitions through a combination of equity capital, partnership units, medium-term notes, construction loans, other debt securities and our unsecured line of credit.

        Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $121.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of $16.5 million, or 15.7%, from the same period in 2003. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily due to increases in property net operating income of $7.8 million, and non-property related revenues of $5.8 million. These increases were partially offset by increases in interest expense of $4.2 million. Additionally, due to timing of payables related to our construction projects, accounts payable increased $2.7 million for the nine months of 2004 as compared to a decrease of $12.2 million for the same period in 2003.

        Net cash used in investing activities totaled $92.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $71.2 million for the same period in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities included expenditures for property development and capital improvements totaling $63.8 million and $18.0 million, respectively. These expenditures were offset by $3.5 million in net proceeds received from land sales during 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net cash used in investing activities included expenditures for property development and capital improvements totaling $70.3 million and $15.7 million, respectively. These expenditures were offset by $13.5 million in net proceeds received from townhome and land sales during 2003. Distributions from joint ventures totaled $8.5 million in 2003 due to the sale of three properties totaling 482 apartment homes. Additionally, loans issued under our mezzanine financing program increased from $6.8 million to $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2004, respectively.

        Net cash used in financing activities totaled $29.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we paid dividends and distributions totaling $93.0 million. Our line of credit increased $287.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Additionally, we received proceeds totaling $99.8 million from the issuance of senior unsecured notes. A portion of the proceeds from this issuance and the increase in the line of credit were used to repay $291.7 million in notes payable, redeem $35.5 million in preferred units, and fund development activities and capital improvements. Also, we received $7.0 million from option exercises during the first nine months of 2004. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we paid distributions totaling $90.7 million. Our line of credit increased $71.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, primarily from the funding of development activities and the repayment of $16.7 million in notes payable. Cash received from option exercises totaled $3.7 million in 2003.

        In 1998, we began repurchasing our common equity securities under a program approved by our Board of Trust Managers. To date, the Board has authorized us to repurchase or redeem up to $250 million of our securities through open market purchases and private transactions. Management consummates these repurchases and redemptions at the time when they believe that we can reinvest available cash flow into our own securities at yields that exceed those currently available on direct real estate investments. These repurchases were made and we expect that future repurchases, if any, will be made without incurring additional debt and, in management’s opinion, without reducing our financial flexibility. At September 30, 2004, we had repurchased approximately 8.8 million common shares and redeemed approximately 106,000 units convertible



26




into common shares at a total cost of $243.6 million. No common shares or units convertible into common shares were repurchased under this program during the first nine months of 2004.

        In September 2004, we announced that our Board of Trust Managers had declared a dividend in the amount of $0.635 per share for the third quarter of 2004 which was paid on October 15, 2004 to all common shareholders of record as of September 30, 2004. We paid an equivalent amount per unit to holders of the common operating partnership units. This distribution to common shareholders and holders of common operating partnership units equates to an annualized dividend rate of $2.54 per share or unit.

Contractual Obligations

        The following table summarizes our known contractual obligations as of September 30, 2004:

(in millions)

Total 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 Thereafter







Debt maturities     $ 1,605.3   $ 0.8   $ 3.2   $ 544.2   $ 165.3   $ 17.8   $ 874.0  
Non-cancelable operating lease payments       10.6     0.5     1.9     1.6     1.5     1.0     4.1  
Construction contracts       31.1     9.9     21.2     --   --   --   --







      $ 1,647.0   $ 11.2   $ 26.3   $ 545.8   $ 166.8   $ 18.8   $ 878.1        







        The joint ventures in which we have an interest have been funded with secured, third-party debt. We are not committed to any additional funding on third-party debt in relation to our joint ventures.

Financial Flexibility

        We have a $500 million unsecured line of credit that matures in August 2006. The scheduled interest rate is currently based on spreads over LIBOR or Prime. The scheduled interest rate spreads are subject to change as our credit ratings change. Advances under the line of credit may be priced at the scheduled rates, or we may enter into bid rate loans with participating banks at rates below the scheduled rates. These bid rate loans have terms of six months or less and may not exceed the lesser of $250 million or the remaining amount available under the line of credit. The line of credit provides us with additional liquidity to pursue development and acquisition opportunities, as well as lower our overall cost of funds. The line of credit is subject to customary financial covenants and limitations, all of which we were in compliance with at quarter end.

        Our line of credit provides us with the ability to issue up to $100 million in letters of credit. While our issuance of letters of credit does not increase our borrowings outstanding under our line, it does reduce the amount available to us. At September 30, 2004 we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $17.1 million, and had $148.9 million available under our unsecured line of credit.

        As an alternative to our unsecured line of credit, we from time to time borrow using competitively bid unsecured short-term notes with lenders who may or may not be a part of the unsecured line of credit bank group. Such borrowings vary in term and pricing and are typically priced at interest rates below those available under the unsecured line of credit.

        At September 30, 2004, $785.5 million was available for issuance in debt securities, preferred shares, common shares or warrants from our $1.1 billion shelf registration. We have significant unencumbered real estate assets which could be sold or used as collateral for financing purposes should other sources of capital not be available.

        At September 30, 2004, our floating rate debt totaled $411.0 million and had a weighted average interest rate of 2.2%.



27




        In July 2004, we issued from our $1.1 billion shelf registration an aggregate principal amount of $100 million 4.70% five-year senior unsecured notes maturing on July 15, 2009. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2005. We may redeem the notes at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount and accrued interest, plus a make-whole provision. The notes are direct, senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The proceeds from the sale of the notes were $99.2 million, net of issuance costs. We used the net proceeds to reduce indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured line of credit.

        In September 2004, we paid off six conventional mortgage notes totaling $58.2 million which had a weighted average interest rate of 7.3%. We repaid these mortgages using proceeds available under our unsecured line of credit.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

        Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common shares. We consider FFO to be a useful performance measure of our operating performance because FFO, together with net income and cash flows, provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures and distributions to shareholders and unitholders.

        We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our consolidated historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations and data included elsewhere in this report. FFO is not defined by generally accepted accounting principles. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Furthermore, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation.

        A reconciliation of net income to diluted FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 follows:

(In thousands)

Weighted average shares - diluted     44,449    43,343    44,257    43,050  




28




        FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 previously included a reduction of $0.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, from gains on sales of undepreciated property. We have adjusted FFO to include these types of gains as they currently do not meet NAREIT’s definition of gains that should be adjusted from net income in calculating FFO.

Inflation

        We lease apartments under lease terms generally ranging from 6 to 13 months. Management believes that such short-term lease contracts lessen the impact of inflation due to the ability to adjust rental rates to market levels as leases expire.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The Securities and Exchange Commission has issued guidance for the disclosure of “critical accounting policies.” The SEC defines “critical accounting policies” as those that are most important to the presentation of a company’s financial condition and results, and require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We follow financial accounting and reporting policies that are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The more significant of these policies relate to cost capitalization and asset impairment, which are discussed in the “Business” section of this Item 2 under “Development and Lease-Up Properties”, and income recognition, capital expenditures and notes receivable, which are discussed below.

        Income recognition. Our rental and other property income is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property income consists primarily of utility rebillings, and administrative, application and other transactional fees charged to our residents. Interest, fee and asset management and all other sources of income are recognized as earned.

        Capital expenditures. We capitalize renovation and improvement costs that we believe extend the economic lives and enhance the earnings of the related assets. Capital expenditures, including carpet, appliances and HVAC unit replacements, subsequent to initial construction are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 20 years.

        Notes receivable. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal of each of our notes receivable. If we identify that the borrower is unable to perform their duties under the notes receivable or that the operations of the property do not support the continued recognition of interest income or the carrying value of the loan, we would then cease income recognition and record an impairment charge against the loan.

        The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, results of operations during the reporting periods and related disclosures. Our estimates relate to determining the allocation of the purchase price of our acquisitions, developments and the carrying value of our assets, reserves related to co-insurance requirements under our property, general liability and employee benefit insurance programs and estimates of expected losses of variable interest entities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Impact of New Accounting Pronouncements

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, Consolidated Financial Statements” (“FIN 46”), which was revised in December 2003. This interpretation requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do



29




not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. This interpretation was effective for periods ending after March 15, 2004. Our application of FIN 46, as revised, did not require the consolidation of any additional entities.

        In May 2003, FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150, as amended, was effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In June 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF 03-01, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments,” which provides guidance to determine when an investment is considered impaired, whether the impairment is other than temporary, and the measurement of an impairment loss. EITF 03-01 is effective for the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2004. The adoption of EITF 03-01 will not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        No material changes have occurred since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Item 4.   Controls and Procedures

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of September 30, 2004. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2004.

        There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the period ended September 30, 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
