Executive Summary
Our results reflect the continued challenges the multifamily industry is
currently facing. During 2008 and continuing in 2009, a number of factors
adversely affecting demand for and rents received by our multifamily communities
were intense and pervasive across the United States. As a result, the already
difficult conditions within the industry have become progressively more
challenging. High inventory levels of single-family homes and condominiums in
the markets in which we operate, overall weak consumer confidence, and fears of
a prolonged recession, among other factors, have persisted and, in some cases,
accelerated thus far in 2009. We believe the effects of these factors on the
multi-family industry have been further magnified by high levels of home
foreclosures, liquidity disruptions in the financial markets, continued job
losses, and a lack of job growth.
Based on our results, the market conditions discussed above, and our belief
these conditions will continue in the near future, we are cautious regarding
expected performance and expect a decline in property revenues during fiscal
year 2009. However, positive impacts on our performance may result from
reductions in the U.S. home ownership rate, more stringent lending criteria for
prospective home-buyers, and long-term growth prospects for population,
employment, and household formations in our markets, although there can be no
assurance any of these factors will continue or will positively impact our
operating results.
Due to the instability experienced during the current economic downturn, and our
belief these conditions may not improve quickly, our near term primary focus is
to strengthen our capital and liquidity position by selectively disposing of
properties, controlling and reducing construction and overhead costs, generating
positive cash flows from operations, and reducing outstanding debt and leverage
ratios. However, should the current credit crisis and general economic recession
continue, we may continue to experience a period of declining revenues. These
conditions have also negatively impacted the number of potential buyers for our
properties. The majority of our leases are for twelve months or less and, as a
result, the impact of an economic downturn affects us quickly. The short-term
nature of our leases also limits our ability to increase rents and combined
with, among other factors, continuing job losses and decreased household
formation, has resulted in our decreasing rents on lease renewals and leases for
new residents.
While the continuation of the current economic environment and capital market
disruptions could have a negative impact on us and adversely affect our future
results of operations, access to debt from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac has
provided the multifamily sector with a liquidity source during 2009. On
April 17, 2009, we closed a ten-year, 5.12% fixed rate, secured financing
transaction with a Fannie Mae lender for $420 million. We have also reduced
near-term maturing debt. On April 28, 2009, we completed a cash tender offer for
certain series of notes maturing in 2010 and 2011 and retired approximately
$169.5 million of our outstanding debt. The remaining proceeds were used to pay
down all amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit and for other
general corporate purposes. To further strengthen liquidity and reduce leverage,
we completed an equity offering in May 2009, which resulted in our issuing
10,350,000 common shares and receiving net proceeds of approximately
$272.1 million. In June 2009, we repurchased and retired approximately
$135.3 million of certain secured notes maturing in 2010 and 2011 from unrelated
third parties. Subsequent to quarter-end, we repurchased and retired
approximately $81.9 million of certain unsecured notes from unrelated third
parties and have no scheduled maturities of debt remaining for fiscal year 2009.
Approximately $19.2 million remains to be funded for one development project
owned by a consolidated joint venture, which we expect to fund from an existing
construction loan.
Subject to market conditions, we intend to continue to look for opportunities to
acquire existing communities through our investment in and management of
discretionary investment funds. Until the earlier of (i) December 31, 2011 or
(ii) such time as 90% of its committed capital is invested, subject to two
one-year extensions, these funds will be our exclusive investment vehicles for
acquiring fully developed multifamily properties, subject to certain exceptions.
Our portfolio of apartment communities is geographically diverse, which we
believe mitigates risks such as changes in demographics or job growth which may
occur within individual markets, although may not mitigate such risks with
respect to more wide-spread economic declines such as we are currently
experiencing. In the long term, we intend to continue focusing on our
development pipeline which currently contains ten properties in various stages
of construction and lease-up. The commencement of future developments has and
may continue to be impacted by economic conditions, changing construction costs,
and other factors. We do not expect to start any new developments for the
remainder of fiscal year 2009.

Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
We intend to maintain a long-term strategy of managing our invested capital
through the selective sale of properties and to utilize the proceeds to reduce
our outstanding debt and leverage ratios and fund investments with higher
anticipated growth prospects in our markets. Income from discontinued operations
includes the operations of properties, including land, sold during the period or
classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2009. The components of earnings
classified as discontinued operations include separately identifiable
property-specific revenues, expenses, depreciation, and interest expense. Any
gain or loss on the disposal of the properties held for sale is also classified
as discontinued operations.
As of June 30, 2009, no operating properties were designated as held for sale.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized a gain of approximately
$16.9 million from the sale of one operating property, containing 671 apartment
homes with a net book value of approximately $11.3 million, to an unaffiliated
third party. This sale generated total net proceeds of approximately
$28.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we recognized gains
totaling $14.7 million from the sale of three operating properties to
unaffiliated third parties. These sales generated total net proceeds of
approximately $23.8 million.

Results of Operations
Changes in revenues and expenses related to our operating properties from period
to period are due primarily to the performance of stabilized properties in the
portfolio, the lease-up of newly constructed properties, acquisitions, and
dispositions. Where appropriate, comparisons of income and expense on
communities included in continuing operations are made on a dollars-per-weighted
average apartment home basis in order to adjust for such changes in the number
of apartment homes owned during each period. Selected weighted averages for the
three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:

Same store communities are communities we owned and were stabilized as of
January 1, 2008. Non-same store communities are stabilized communities we have
acquired, developed or re-developed after January 1, 2008. Development and
lease-up communities are non-stabilized communities we have acquired or
developed after January 1, 2008.
Same store analysis
Same store property revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
approximately $3.1 million, or 2.3%, from the same period in 2008. Same store
rental revenues decreased approximately $5.1 million, or 4.4%, due to a 0.4%
decline in average occupancy and a 4.4% decline in average rental rates for our
same store portfolio due to, among other factors, the challenges within the
multifamily industry as discussed in the Executive Summary. This decrease was
partially offset by an approximate $2.0 million increase in other property
revenue due to the continued rollout of Perfect Connection, which provides cable
services to our residents, and other utility rebilling programs.
Same store property revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
approximately $3.8 million, or 1.4%, from the same period in 2008. Same store
rental revenues decreased approximately $8.3 million, or 3.5%, due to a 0.3%
decline in average occupancy and a 3.5% decline in average rental rates for our
same store portfolio due to, among other factors, the challenges within the
multifamily industry as discussed in the Executive Summary. The decrease was
partially offset by approximately $4.5 million increase in other property
revenue due to the continued rollout of our implementation of Perfect Connection
and other utility rebilling programs.
Property expenses from our same store communities increased approximately
$3.4 million, or 7.1%, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
the same period in 2008. The increases in same store property expenses were
primarily due to increases in expenses for property insurance and taxes,
employee benefit expenses, and expenses related to our utility rebilling
programs discussed above, offset by decreased marketing and leasing expenses;
excluding the expenses associated with our utility rebilling programs, same
store property expenses for this period increased approximately $2.4 million, or
5.1%.
Property expenses from our same store communities increased approximately
$6.0 million, or 6.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the
same period in 2008. The increases in same store property expenses were
primarily due to increases in expenses for property insurance and taxes,
