NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Organization
 
    Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries develop, own and manage upscale multifamily apartment communities in selected markets in the United States. As used herein, the term “Company” includes Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner and owns a majority interest in the Operating Partnership which, through its subsidiaries, conducts substantially all of the on-going operations of the Company. At July 31, 2007, the Company owned 22,209 apartment units in 62 apartment communities, including 1,351 apartment units in four communities held in unconsolidated entities and 1,477 apartment units in five communities (and the expansion of one community) currently under construction and/or in lease-up. The Company is also developing 367 for-sale condominium homes (including 137 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) and is converting apartment homes in three communities initially consisting of 470 units (including 121 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) into for-sale condominium homes through a taxable REIT subsidiary. At June 30, 2007, approximately 44.0%, 19.0%, 12.2% and 9.8% (on a unit basis) of the Company’s operating communities were located in the Atlanta, Dallas, the greater Washington D.C. and Tampa metropolitan areas, respectively.
 
    The Company has elected to qualify and operate as a self-administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate interests and is generally not subject to federal income tax on the income it distributes to its shareholders.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding 43,661 shares of common stock and owned the same number of units of common limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership, representing a 98.6% common ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Common Units held by persons other than the Company totaled 609 at June 30, 2007 and represented a 1.4% common minority interest in the Operating Partnership. Each Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for either one share of Company common stock or cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of redemption, at the option of the Company. The Company’s weighted average common ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was 98.6% and 98.0% for the three months ended and 98.5% and 97.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company also consolidates other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or entities where it is determined to be the primary beneficiary under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Under FIN 46R, the primary beneficiary is required to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for financial reporting purposes. The application of FIN 46R requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the Company’s and its other partners’ rights, obligations and economic interests in such entities. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the net earnings or losses of entities accounted for using the equity method is included in consolidated net income. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority interest of unitholders in the operations of the Operating Partnership is calculated based on the weighted average unit ownership during the period.
 
    Certain 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

    Revenue Recognition
 
    Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year. Rental revenues from residential leases are recognized on the straight-line method over the approximate life of the leases, which is generally one year. Under the terms of residential leases, the residents of the Company’s residential communities are obligated to reimburse the Company for certain utility usage, water and electricity (at selected properties), where the Company is the primary obligor to the public utility entity. These utility reimbursements from residents are reflected as other property revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
    Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets and for-sale condominiums are recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” For condominium conversion projects, revenues from individual condominium unit sales are recognized upon the closing of the sale transactions (the “Completed Contract Method”), as all conditions for full profit recognition have been met at that time and the conversion construction periods are typically very short. Under SFAS No. 66, the Company uses the relative sales value method to allocate costs and recognize profits from condominium conversion sales. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” gains on sales of condominium units at complete community condominium conversion projects are included in discontinued operations. For condominium conversion projects relating to a portion of an existing apartment community, the Company also recognizes revenues and the associated gains under the Completed Contract Method, as discussed herein. Since a portion of an operating community does not meet the requirements of a component of an entity under SFAS No. 144, the revenues and gains on sales of condominium units at partial condominium communities are included in continuing operations.
 
    For newly developed condominiums, the Company accounts for each project under either the Completed Contract Method or the “Percentage of Completion Method,” based on a specific evaluation of the factors specified in SFAS No. 66. The factors used to determine the appropriate accounting method are the legal commitment of the purchaser in the real estate contract, whether the construction of the project is beyond a preliminary phase, sufficient units have been contracted to ensure the project will not revert to a rental project, the aggregate project sale proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated and the buyer has made an adequate initial and continuing cash investment under the contract in accordance with SFAS No. 66. Under the Percentage of Completion Method, revenues and the associated gains are recognized over the project construction period generally based on the percentage of total project costs incurred to estimated total projects costs for each condominium unit under a binding real estate contract. As of June 30, 2007, no condominium projects are accounted for under the Percentage of Completion Method.
 
    In November 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-8 (“EITF No. 06-8”), “Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66 for Sales of Condominiums.” EITF No. 06-8 provided additional guidance on whether the seller of a condominium unit is required to evaluate the buyer’s continuing investment under SFAS No. 66 in order to recognize profit from the sale under the percentage of completion method. The EITF concluded that both the buyer’s initial and continuing investment must meet the criteria in SFAS No. 66 in order for condominium sale profits to be recognized under the percentage of completion method. Sales of condominiums not meeting the continuing investment test must be accounted for under the deposit method (a method consistent with the Company’s above stated Completed Contract Method). EITF No. 06-8 is effective January 1, 2008. As discussed above, the Company accounts for condominium sales using similar criteria to those stated in EITF No. 06-8. As a result, the Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-8 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
    Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
    FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” was issued in July 2006. FIN 48 clarifies guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and establishes a more likely than not standard for the evaluation of whether such tax positions can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. Previously recognized tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not criteria were required to be adjusted on the implementation date. Additionally, FIN 48 requires additional disclosure regarding the nature and amount of uncertain tax positions, if any. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations (see note 11).
 
    SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 provides a definition of fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarified the definition of fair value in an effort to eliminate inconsistencies in the application of fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Additional disclosure focusing on the methods used to determine fair value is also required. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal

    years beginning after November 15, 2007 and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
 
2.   REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITY
 
    Acquisitions
 
    In July 2007, the Company acquired an apartment community, containing 350 units, in Orlando, Florida for approximately $75,500, including closing costs. Additionally, the Company plans to spend approximately $1,250 to improve the community. The Company also acquired an adjacent land site for future residential development.
 
    In March 2006, the Company acquired two apartment communities, containing 308 units, in Austin, Texas for approximately $46,400, including closing costs. Through June 30, 2007, the Company spent approximately $1,139 to improve these communities. The purchase price of these communities was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values.
 
    Dispositions
 
    The Company classifies real estate assets as held for sale after the approval of its board of directors and after the Company has commenced an active program to sell the assets. At June 30, 2007, the Company had certain parcels of land classified as held for sale. These land parcels are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at $7,086, which represents the lower of their cost or fair value less costs to sell. At June 30, 2007, the Company also had portions of two communities being converted to condominiums, originally containing 349 units, and certain completed condominium units at a newly developed community totaling $52,046 classified as for-sale condominiums on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
    In the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company transferred two operating apartment communities to a newly formed unconsolidated entity in which the Company retained a 25% non-controlling interest, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $89,351. This transaction resulted in a gain on sale of real estate in continuing operations totaling approximately $55,300 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Additionally, the unconsolidated entity obtained mortgage financing secured by the apartment communities totaling approximately $85,723, of which approximately $21,431 was distributed to the Company. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, gains on sales of real estate assets in continuing operations included gains of $1,740 and $3,938, respectively, on the sale of land sites, including one site with an associated corporate facility previously used in the Company’s landscape and maintenance operations.
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, income from operations also included net gains from condominium sales activities at newly developed and condominium conversion projects representing portions of existing communities. In addition to the condominium gains included in continuing operations, the Company expensed certain sales and marketing costs associated with new condominium communities under development and such costs are included in condominium expenses in the table below. A summary of revenues and costs and expenses of condominium activities included in continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

  $ 5,676     $ 8,569     $ 7,162     $ 8,411  
 
                       
Under SFAS No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the operating results of real estate assets designated as held for sale are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations for all periods presented. Additionally, all gains and losses on the sale of these assets are included in discontinued operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations of one condominium conversion community through its sell out date in February 2007 and the results of operations of one apartment community through its sale date in March 2007. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations of the condominium conversion community and apartment community sold in 2007 and three apartment communities sold in the third and fourth quarters of 2006.

3.   INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES
 
    Apartment and Condominium Conversion Communities
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company holds investments in four individual limited liability companies (the “Property LLCs”) with institutional investors. Three of the Property LLCs own apartment communities. The fourth Property LLC is completing the sell-out of a condominium conversion community, initially consisting of 121 units. At June 30, 2007, the Property LLC converting its units into condominiums had one unit remaining to sell. The Company holds a 35% equity interest in two Property LLCs, each owning one apartment community and the Property LLC completing the condominium conversion and sale process. The Company holds a 25% interest in the remaining Property LLC owning two apartment communities.
 
    In May 2007, the Company’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC resulted from the transfer of two 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. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC reflects a credit investment of $9,850 resulting from distributions of

    financing proceeds in excess of the Company’s historical cost investment. The credit investment is reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
    The Company accounts for its investments in these Property LLCs using the equity method of accounting. At June 30, 2007, the Company’s investment in the 35% owned Property LLCs totaled $14,573. The excess of the Company’s investment over its equity in the underlying net assets of the 35% owned Property LLCs was approximately $5,276 at June 30, 2007. The excess investment related to Property LLCs holding apartment communities is being amortized as a reduction to earnings on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related assets. The Company provides real estate services (property and asset management) to the Property LLCs for which it earns fees.
 
    The operating results of the Company include its allocable share of net income from the investments in the Property LLCs. A summary of financial information for the Property LLCs in the aggregate is as follows:

    At June 30, 2007, mortgage notes payable include a $49,998 mortgage note that bears interest at 4.13%, requires monthly interest payments and annual principal payments of $1 through 2009. Thereafter, the note requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule and matures in 2034. The note is callable by the lender in 2009 and on each successive fifth year anniversary of the note thereafter. The note is prepayable without penalty in 2008. An additional mortgage note payable totaling $17,000 bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.04%, requires interest only payments and matures in 2008. Two additional mortgage notes entered into in conjunction with the formation of the 25% owned Property LLC in May 2007 totaling $85,723 bear interest at 5.63% and mature in 2017.
 
    Land Entities
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company holds a 50% equity interest in a limited liability company whose sole investment consists of a partnership interest in an entity (the “Land Partnership”) which holds land for future development. At June 30, 2007, the Land Partnership had total assets of $32,240, principally land and pre-development costs, total liabilities of $15,016 (including a secured note payable of $12,000 to the Company) and total equity of $17,224 (including the Company’s equity investment of $4,650). In July 2007, the Land Partnership commenced construction of a mixed-use development, consisting of for-sale condominiums and class A office space, financed through additional equity contributions totaling approximately $17,115 and through borrowings under a $187,128 construction loan facility bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.35%.

    Debt retirements
 
    Upon their maturity in June 2007, the Company repaid $25,000 of 6.11% senior unsecured notes from available borrowings under its unsecured line of credit.
 
    In July 2007, the Company repaid $83,132 of secured mortgage notes with interest rates ranging from 6.29% to 7.69%, from borrowings under its unsecured line of credit. These mortgage notes were scheduled to mature in October 2007.
 
    Unsecured Lines of Credit
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company utilizes a $450,000 syndicated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Syndicated Line”) that matures in April 2010 for its short-term financing needs. The Syndicated Line currently has a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.575% or the prime rate and was provided by a syndicate of 11 banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. and JP Morgan Securities, Inc. Additionally, the Syndicated Line requires the payment of annual facility fees currently equal to 0.15% of the aggregate loan commitment. The Syndicated Line provides for the interest rate and facility fee rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Company’s senior unsecured debt. The rates under the Syndicated Line are based on the higher of the Company’s unsecured debt ratings in instances where the Company has split unsecured debt ratings. The Syndicated Line also includes a competitive bid option for short-term funds up to 50% of the loan commitment at rates generally below the stated line rate. The credit agreement for the Syndicated Line contains customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default, including fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The Syndicated Line also restricts the amount of capital the Company can invest in specific categories of assets, such as improved land, properties under construction, condominium properties, non-multifamily properties, debt or equity securities, notes receivable and unconsolidated affiliates. At June 30, 2007, the Company had issued letters of credit to third parties totaling $2,078 under this facility.
 
    Additionally, at June 30, 2007, the Company had a $30,000 unsecured line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the “Cash Management Line”). The Cash Management Line matures in April 2010 and carries pricing and terms, including debt covenants, substantially consistent with the Syndicated Line.

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the computation of basic and diluted income from continuing operations per common share is as follows:
                                 
    Three months ended     Six months ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2007     2006     2007     2006  
Income from continuing operations available to common shareholders (numerator):

  $ 62,027     $ 10,593     $ 67,479     $ 12,489  
 
                       
 
                               
Common shares (denominator):
                               
Weighted average shares outstanding — basic
    43,463       42,817       43,416       42,351

    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, stock options to purchase 213 and 307 shares of common stock, respectively, and 183 and 280, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per common share as these stock options and awards were antidilutive.
 
6.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company had an outstanding interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of approximately $95,510 with a maturity date in 2009. The swap arrangement is a variable to fixed rate swap at a fixed rate of 5.21% and the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Company’s FNMA variable rate debt. This swap was entered into following the termination of a prior swap arrangement that became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles (SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities,” as amended) in the first quarter of 2006. The interest rate swap agreement is included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at fair value. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement represented a liability of $27, and the liability was included in consolidated liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The change in the value of this cash flow hedge was recorded as a change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a shareholders’ equity account, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
    In early 2006, a previous interest rate swap arrangement, accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles (SFAS No. 133, as amended). As a result, the gross increase in the market value of the interest rate swap arrangement of $1,655 through the April 2006 termination of the swap was recognized in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, under SFAS No. 133, as amended, the Company is required to amortize into interest expense the cumulative unrecognized loss on the terminated interest rate swap arrangement of $4,021, included in shareholders’ equity, over the remaining life of the swap through 2009. Total amortization expense related to this swap was $281 and $281 for the three months ended and $562 and $554 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company had outstanding an interest rate cap agreement with a financial institution with a notional value of $28,495. Through mid-December 2006, this interest rate cap agreement was a cash flow hedge that provided a fixed interest ceiling at 5% for the Company’s variable rate, tax-exempt borrowings. As a result of the repayment of tax-exempt indebtedness in December 2006, the portion of this interest rate cap arrangement with a notional amount of $18,600 associated with this indebtedness became ineffective for accounting purposes. The Company is required to maintain the interest rate exposure protection under the terms of the financing arrangements for outstanding tax-exempt borrowings of $9,895 at June 30, 2007. The interest rate cap arrangement is included on the accompanying balance sheet at fair value. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of the arrangement is included in the statement of operations. Such amount was not material in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the difference between the amortized costs of the cash flow hedge associated with the $9,895 tax-exempt borrowings and its $0 fair value is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a

    shareholders’ equity account. The original cost of $126 of the remaining cash flow hedge is being amortized to expense over the five-year term.
 
    A summary of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    Segment Description
 
    In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About the Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Company presents segment information based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment information is prepared on the same basis as the internally reported information used by the Company’s chief operating decision makers to manage the business.
 
    The Company’s chief operating decision makers focus on the Company’s primary sources of income from apartment community rental operations. Apartment community rental operations are generally broken down into four segments based on the various stages in the apartment community ownership lifecycle. These segments are described below. All commercial properties and other ancillary service and support operations are combined in the line item “other” in the accompanying segment information. The segment information presented below reflects the segment categories based on the lifecycle status of each community as of January 1, 2006. The segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 has been adjusted due to the restatement impact of reclassifying the operating results of the assets designated as held for sale or sold in 2006 to discontinued operations under SFAS No. 144 (see note 2).
    Fully stabilized communities – those apartment communities which have been stabilized (the earlier of the point at which a property reaches 95% occupancy or one year after completion of construction) for both the current and prior year.
 
    Development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities – those apartment communities under development, rehabilitation and lease-up during the period.
 
    Condominium conversion and other communities – those portions of existing apartment communities being converted into condominiums and other communities converted, or expected to be converted, to joint venture ownership that are reflected in continuing operations.
 
    Acquired communities – those communities acquired in the current or prior year.
Segment Performance Measure
Management uses contribution to consolidated property net operating income (“NOI”) as the performance measure for its operating segments. The Company uses net operating income, including net operating income of stabilized communities, as an operating measure. Net operating income is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (excluding depreciation and amortization). The Company believes that net operating income 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 operating segment groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Company believes that net operating income, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in

-13-

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
the real estate investment community. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating income.
Segment Information
The following table reflects each segment’s contribution to consolidated revenues and NOI together with a reconciliation of segment contribution to property NOI to consolidated net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Additionally, substantially all of the Company’s assets relate to the Company’s property rental operations. Asset cost, depreciation and amortization by segment are not presented because such information at the segment level is not reported internally.

8.   SEVERANCE COSTS
 
    In prior years, the Company recorded severance charges associated with the departure of certain executive officers of the Company. Under certain of these arrangements, the Company is required to make certain payments and provide specified benefits through 2013 and 2016. The following table summarizes the activity relating to aggregate severance charges for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:
                 
    Six months ended  
    June 30,  
    2007     2006

9.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
 
    Interest paid (including capitalized amounts of $5,795 and $4,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively), aggregated $32,651 and $32,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company and the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiaries made income tax payments to federal and state taxing authorities totaling $1,062 and $401, respectively.
 
    Non-cash investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company amortized approximately $562 ($554 net of minority interest) and $554 ($542 net of minority interest), respectively, of accumulated other comprehensive non-cash losses into earnings related to an interest rate swap derivative financial instrument (see note 6). Other than the amortization discussed herein, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Company’s derivative financial instruments, accounted for as cash flow hedges, increased in value causing a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a corresponding decrease in shareholder’s equity of $566 ($558, net of minority interest). For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges increased in value causing a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a corresponding increase in shareholder’s equity of $690 ($675 net of minority interest).
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, Common Units in the Operating Partnership totaling 73 and 688, respectively, were converted into Company common shares on a one-for-one basis. The net effect of the conversion of Common Units of the Operating Partnership to common shares of the Company and the adjustments to minority interest for the impact of the Company’s employee stock purchase and stock options plans, decreased minority interest and increased shareholders’ equity in the amounts of $1,991 and $12,835 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    The Operating Partnership committed to distribute $21,831 and $19,764 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As a result, the Company declared dividends of $19,647 and $19,441 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The remaining distributions from the Operating Partnership in the amount of $274 and $323 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are distributed to minority interest unitholders in the Operating Partnership.
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued common shares for director compensation, totaling $277 and $377, respectively. These stock issuances were non-cash transactions.
 
10.   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
 
    Stock Compensation Plans
 
    Effective January 1, 2006, the Company accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123R (see note 1). Other than the required modification under SFAS No. 123R to use an estimated forfeiture rate for award terminations and forfeitures, the adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on the Company’s accounting for stock-based compensation. The cumulative impact of this modification on awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 was $172 and the amount was reflected as a reduction of compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

    Incentive Stock Plans
 
    Incentive stock awards are granted under the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2003 Stock Plan”). Under the 2003 Stock Plan, an aggregate of 4,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Of this amount, not more than 500 shares of common stock are available for grants of restricted stock. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2003 Stock Plan may not be less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the option grant and all options may have a maximum life of ten years. Participants receiving restricted stock grants are generally eligible to vote such shares and receive dividends on such shares. Substantially all stock option and restricted stock grants are subject to annual vesting provisions (generally three to five years) as determined by the compensation committee overseeing the 2003 Stock Plan. At June 30, 2007, stock options outstanding under the 2003 Stock Plan and the Company’s previous stock plan totaled 2,473.
 
    Compensation costs for stock options have been estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:
                 
    Six months ended  
    June 30,  
    2007     2006  
Dividend yield
    3.8 %     4.5 %
Expected volatility
    18.1 %     17.5 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.8 %     4.3 %
Expected option term (years)
    5.0       5.0  
The Company’s assumptions were derived from the methodologies discussed herein. The expected dividend yield reflects the Company’s current historical yield, which is expected to approximate the future yield. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options was based on the implied yields on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The weighted average expected option term was based on the Company’s historical data for prior period stock option exercise and forfeiture activity.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted stock options to purchase 199 and 291 shares of Company common stock, respectively, to Company officers and directors, of which 28 and 50 shares, respectively, were granted to the Company’s non-executive chairman of the board. The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $379 ($374 net of minority interest) and $286 ($280 net of minority interest) for the three months ended and $758 ($747 net of minority interest) and $507 ($496 net of minority interest) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, under the fair value method. Upon the exercise of stock options, the Company issues shares of common stock from treasury shares or, to the extent treasury shares are not available, from authorized common shares.
     A summary of stock option activity under all plans for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is presented below:

At June 30, 2007, there was $2,379 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,148 and $8,586, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values of stock options outstanding, exercisable and expected to vest at June 30, 2007 were $44,724, $31,461 and $43,752, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual lives of stock options outstanding, exercisable and expected to vest at June 30, 2007 were 5.8, 4.8 and 5.8 years, respectively. Stock options expected to vest at June 30, 2007 totaled 2,422 at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $34.06.

These options have a weighted average exercise price of $29.18 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 5.7 years. Of these outstanding options, 990 were exercisable at June 30, 2007 at a weighted average exercise price of $29.80. In addition, there were 1,081 options outstanding with exercise prices ranging from $36.47 to $48.00. These options had a weighted average exercise price of $40.31 and a weighted average remaining contractual life of 5.9 years. Of these outstanding options, 658 were exercisable at June 30, 2007 at a weighted average exercise price of $37.91.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted 49 and 39 shares of restricted stock, respectively, to Company officers and directors, of which 4 and 5 shares, respectively, were granted to the Company’s non-executive chairman of the board. The restricted share grants generally vest ratably over three to five year periods. The weighted average grant date fair value for the restricted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $48.15 and $40.24, respectively, per share. The total value of the restricted share grants for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,371 and $1,571, respectively. The compensation cost is amortized ratably into compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. Total compensation expense relating to the restricted stock was $619 ($610 net of minority interest) and $438 ($429 net of minority interest) for the three months ended and $1,104 ($1,089 net of minority interest) and $726 ($710 net of minority interest) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
    The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2005 ESPP”) under a plan approved by Company shareholders in 2005, and the maximum number of shares issuable is 300. The purchase price of shares of common stock under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lesser of the closing price per share of common stock on the first or last day of the trading period, as defined. The Company records the aggregate cost of the ESPP (generally the 15% discount on the share purchases) as a period expense. Total compensation expense relating to the ESPP was $61 and $60 for the three months ended and $123 and $100 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11.   INCOME TAXES
 
    The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must distribute annually at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its shareholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax at the corporate level on the taxable income it distributes to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. The Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income taxes and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.
 
    In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions, the Company and its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) assert certain tax positions based on their understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities may challenge such positions and the resolution of such matters could result in the payment and recognition of additional income tax expense as well as interest and penalties. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.
 
    The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Company had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $800 which primarily related to uncertainty regarding the sustainability of certain deductions taken on prior year income tax returns of the TRSs related to the amortization of certain intangible assets. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will impact the effective tax rate in a future period. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and at June 30, 2007 was not material to the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
    The Company utilizes TRSs to perform such non-REIT activities as asset and property management, for-sale housing (condominiums) activities and other services for third parties. These TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s TRSs had fully utilized its net operating loss carryforward from prior years. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the TRSs’ generated estimated taxable income of approximately $3,000, primarily resulting from current period condominium sales and other deferred tax asset temporary differences related to the recognition of taxable profits from condominium sales activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the TRSs recorded no net income tax expense (benefit). The current provision for estimated income taxes payable for the period of approximately $1,200 was offset by a $1,200 deferred tax benefit.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the TRSs’ net deferred tax assets, in excess of the $1,000 recognized in 2007 and discussed above, were fully offset by valuation allowances. The tax benefits associated with the unrecognized deferred tax assets may be recognized in future periods should the TRSs generate sufficient taxable income or should the TRSs determine that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets are realizable.
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the TRSs’ recorded no income tax expense (benefit) due to estimated income tax losses for the periods and due to the existence of income tax net operating taxable loss carryforwards and other unrecognized deferred tax assets during the periods.
 
    The Company and its subsidiaries’ (including the TRSs) income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions for years 2003 through 2006. Net income tax loss carryforwards and other tax attributes generated in years prior to 2003 are also subject to challenge in any examination of the 2003 to 2006 tax years.
 
    A summary of the components of the TRSs’ deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2006 are included in the footnotes to the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K. Other than the activity discussed above relating to condominium activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no material changes to the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2007.

12.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    In November 2006, the Equal Rights Center (“ERC”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and the Operating Partnership in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by the Company and the Operating Partnership in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that includes retrofitting multi-family units and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. On April 18, 2007, ERC filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the Company and the Operating Partnership from selling any noncompliant apartment communities or condominium units while the litigation is ongoing. On July 25, 2007 the court entered an order denying ERC’s motion for the preliminary injunction. At this stage in the proceeding, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss that would be associated with an adverse decision.
 
    The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to its business from time to time, most of which are expected to be covered by liability or other insurance. Management of the Company believes that any resolution of pending proceedings or liability to the Company which may arise as a result of these various other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
 
13.   OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, other expenses were comprised of estimated state franchise and other taxes. Franchise taxes are associated with new margin-based taxes in Texas that are effective in 2007. In the three months ended March 31, 2006, one of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the net increase in the market value of this derivative prior to its termination in April 2006 totaling $233 and $1,655 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, was recognized in other income.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)
1.   ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
    Organization
 
    Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Georgia limited partnership, and its subsidiaries develop, own and manage upscale multi-family apartment communities in selected markets in the United States. Post Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the sole general partner, a limited partner and owns a majority interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, through its operating divisions and subsidiaries conducts substantially all of the on-going operations of Post Properties, Inc., a publicly traded company which operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Company owned 98.6% of the common limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred limited partnership interests (“Preferred Units”). The Company’s weighted average common ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was 98.6% and 98.0% for the three months and 98.5% and 97.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Common Units held by persons other than the Company represented a 1.4% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership. Each Common Unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for either one share of Company common stock or cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of such redemptions, at the option of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership presently anticipates that it will cause shares of common stock to be issued in connection with each such redemption rather than paying cash (as has been done in all redemptions to date). With each redemption of outstanding Common Units for Company common stock, the Company’s percentage ownership interest in the Operating Partnership will increase. In addition, whenever the Company issues shares of common stock, the Company will contribute any net proceeds therefrom to the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership will issue an equivalent number of Common Units to the Company.
 
    At July 31, 2007, the Operating Partnership owned 22,209 apartment units in 62 apartment communities, including 1,351 apartment units in four communities held in unconsolidated entities and 1,477 apartment units in five communities (and the expansion of one community) currently under construction and/or in lease-up. The Operating Partnership is also developing 367 for-sale condominium homes (including 137 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) and is converting apartment homes in three communities initially consisting of 470 units (including 121 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) into for-sale condominium homes through a taxable REIT subsidiary. At June 30, 2007, approximately 44.0%, 19.0%, 12.2% and 9.8% (on a unit basis) of the Operating Partnership’s operating communities were located in the Atlanta, Dallas, the greater Washington D.C. and Tampa metropolitan areas, respectively.
 
    Under the provisions of the limited partnership agreement, as amended, Operating Partnership net profits, net losses and cash flow (after allocations to preferred ownership interests) are allocated to the partners in proportion to their common ownership interests. Cash distributions from the Operating Partnership shall be, at a minimum, sufficient to enable the Company to satisfy its annual dividend requirements to maintain its REIT status under the Code.
 
    Basis of Presentation
 
    The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Operating Partnership’s management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their wholly owned subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership also consolidates other entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or entities where it is determined to be the primary beneficiary under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46R (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities.” Under FIN 46R, the primary beneficiary is required to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) for financial reporting purposes. The application of FIN 46R requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the Operating Partnership’s and its other partners’ rights, obligations and economic interests in such entities. Accordingly, the Operating Partnership’s share of the net earnings or losses of entities accounted for using the equity method is included in consolidated net income. All significant inter-company

    accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The minority interest of unitholders in the operations of the Operating Partnership is calculated based on the weighted average unit ownership during the period.
 
    Certain 2006 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.
 
    Revenue Recognition
 
    Residential properties are leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year. Rental revenues from residential leases are recognized on the straight-line method over the approximate life of the leases, which is generally one year. Under the terms of residential leases, the residents of the Operating Partnership’s residential communities are obligated to reimburse the Operating Partnership for certain utility usage, water and electricity (at selected properties), where the Operating Partnership is the primary obligor to the public utility entity. These utility reimbursements from residents are reflected as other property revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
 
    Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets and for-sale condominiums are recognized in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 66, “Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.” For condominium conversion projects, revenues from individual condominium unit sales are recognized upon the closing of the sale transactions (the “Completed Contract Method”), as all conditions for full profit recognition have been met at that time and the conversion construction periods are typically very short. Under SFAS No. 66, the Operating Partnership uses the relative sales value method to allocate costs and recognize profits from condominium conversion sales. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” gains on sales of condominium units at complete community condominium conversion projects are included in discontinued operations. For condominium conversion projects relating to a portion of an existing apartment community, the Operating Partnership also recognizes revenues and the associated gains under the Completed Contract Method, as discussed herein. Since a portion of an operating community does not meet the requirements of a component of an entity under SFAS No. 144, the revenues and gains on sales of condominium units at partial condominium communities are included in continuing operations.
 
    For newly developed condominiums, the Operating Partnership accounts for each project under either the Completed Contract Method or the “Percentage of Completion Method,” based on a specific evaluation of the factors specified in SFAS No. 66. The factors used to determine the appropriate accounting method are the legal commitment of the purchaser in the real estate contract, whether the construction of the project is beyond a preliminary phase, sufficient units have been contracted to ensure the project will not revert to a rental project, the aggregate project sale proceeds and costs can be reasonably estimated and the buyer has made an adequate initial and continuing cash investment under the contract in accordance with SFAS No. 66. Under the Percentage of Completion Method, revenues and the associated gains are recognized over the project construction period generally based on the percentage of total project costs incurred to estimated total projects costs for each condominium unit under a binding real estate contract. As of June 30, 2007, no condominium projects are accounted for under the Percentage of Completion Method.
 
    In November 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 06-8 (“EITF No. 06-8”), “Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66 for Sales of Condominiums.” EITF No. 06-8 provided additional guidance on whether the seller of a condominium unit is required to evaluate the buyer’s continuing investment under SFAS No. 66 in order to recognize profit from the sale under the percentage of completion method. The EITF concluded that both the buyer’s initial and continuing investment must meet the criteria in SFAS No. 66 in order for condominium sale profits to be recognized under the percentage of completion method. Sales of condominiums not meeting the continuing investment test must be accounted for under the deposit method (a method consistent with the Operating Partnership’s above stated Completed Contract Method). EITF No. 06-8 is effective January 1, 2008. As discussed above, the Operating Partnership accounts for condominium sales using similar criteria to those stated in EITF No. 06-8. As a result, the Operating Partnership does not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-8 will have a material impact on the Operating Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.
 
    Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
 
    FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” was issued in July 2006. FIN 48 clarifies guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and establishes a more likely than not standard for the evaluation of whether such tax positions can be recognized in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements. Previously recognized tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not criteria were required to be adjusted on the implementation date. Additionally, FIN 48 requires additional disclosure regarding the nature and

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share or unit and apartment unit data)
    amount of uncertain tax positions, if any. The Operating Partnership adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Operating Partnership’s financial position and results of operations (see note 11).
 
    SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 provides a definition of fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarified the definition of fair value in an effort to eliminate inconsistencies in the application of fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Additional disclosure focusing on the methods used to determine fair value is also required. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and should be applied prospectively. The Operating Partnership does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Operating Partnership’s financial position and results of operations.
 
2.   REAL ESTATE ACQUISITION AND DISPOSITION ACTIVITY
 
    Acquisitions
 
    In July 2007, the Operating Partnership acquired an apartment community, containing 350 units, in Orlando, Florida for approximately $75,500, including closing costs. Additionally, the Operating Partnership plans to spend approximately $1,250 to improve the community. The Company also acquired an adjacent land site for future residential development.
 
    In March 2006, the Operating Partnership acquired two apartment communities, containing 308 units, in Austin, Texas for approximately $46,400, including closing costs. Through June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership spent approximately $1,139 to improve these communities. The purchase price of these communities was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values.
 
    Dispositions
 
    The Operating Partnership classifies real estate assets as held for sale after the approval of its board of directors and after the Operating Partnership has commenced an active program to sell the assets. At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had certain parcels of land classified as held for sale. These land parcels are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at $7,086, which represents the lower of their cost or fair value less costs to sell. At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership also had portions of two communities being converted to condominiums, originally containing 349 units, and certain completed condominium units at a newly developed community totaling $52,046 classified as for-sale condominiums on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
    In the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership transferred two operating apartment communities to a newly formed unconsolidated entity in which the Operating Partnership retained a 25% non-controlling interest, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $89,351. This transaction resulted in a gain on sale of real estate in continuing operations totaling approximately $55,300 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. Additionally, the unconsolidated entity obtained mortgage financing secured by the apartment communities totaling approximately $85,723, of which approximately $21,431 was distributed to the Operating Partnership. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, gains on sales of real estate assets in continuing operations included gains of $1,740 and $3,938, respectively, on the sale of land sites, including one site with an associated corporate facility previously used in the Operating Partnership’s landscape and maintenance operations.
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, income from continuing operations also included net gains from condominium sales activities at newly developed and condominium conversion projects representing portions of existing communities. In addition to the condominium gains included in continuing operations, the Operating Partnership expensed certain sales and marketing costs associated with new condominium communities under development and such costs are included in condominium expenses in the table below. A summary of revenues and costs and expenses of condominium activities included in continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was as follows:

3.   INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE ENTITIES
 
    Apartment and Condominium Conversion Communities
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership holds investments in four individual limited liability companies (the “Property LLCs”) with institutional investors. Three of the Property LLCs own apartment communities. The fourth Property LLC is completing the sell-out of a condominium conversion community, initially consisting of 121 units. At June 30, 2007, the Property LLC converting its units into condominiums had one unit remaining to sell. The Operating Partnership holds a 35% equity interest in two Property LLCs, each owning one apartment community and the Property LLC completing the condominium conversion and sale process. The Operating Partnership holds a 25% interest in the remaining Property LLC owning two apartment communities.
 
    In May 2007, the Operating Partnership’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC resulted from the transfer of two 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. At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership’s investment in the 25% owned Property LLC reflects a credit investment of $9,850 resulting from distributions of financing proceeds in excess of the Operating Partnership’s historical cost investment. The credit investment is reflected in consolidated liabilities on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet.
 
    The Operating Partnership accounts for its investments in these Property LLCs using the equity method of accounting. At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership’s investment in the 35% owned Property LLCs totaled $14,573. The excess of the Operating Partnership’s investment over its equity in the underlying net assets of the 35% owned Property LLCs was approximately $5,276 at June 30, 2007. The excess investment related to Property LLCs holding apartment communities is being amortized as a reduction to earnings on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related assets. The Operating Partnership provides real estate services (property and asset management) to the Property LLCs for which it earns fees.
 
    The operating results of the Operating Partnership include its allocable share of net income from the investments in the Property LLCs. A summary of financial information for the Property LLCs in the aggregate is as follows:

    At June 30, 2007, mortgage notes payable include a $49,998 mortgage note that bears interest at 4.13%, requires monthly interest payments and annual principal payments of $1 through 2009. Thereafter, the note requires monthly principal and interest payments based on a 25-year amortization schedule and matures in 2034. The note is callable by the lender in 2009 and on each successive fifth year anniversary of the note thereafter. The note is prepayable without penalty in 2008. An additional mortgage note payable totaling $17,000 bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.04%, requires interest only payments and matures in 2008. Two additional mortgage notes entered into in conjunction with the formation of the 25% owned Property LLC in May 2007 totaling $85,723 bear interest at 5.63% and mature in 2017.
 
    Land Entities
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership holds a 50% equity interest in a limited liability company whose sole investment consists of a partnership interest in an entity (the “Land Partnership”) which holds land for future development. At June 30, 2007, the Land Partnership had total assets of $32,240, principally land and pre-development costs, total liabilities of $15,016 (including a secured note payable of $12,000 to the Operating Partnership) and total equity of $17,224 (including the Operating Partnership’s equity investment of $4,650). In July 2007, the Land Partnership commenced construction of a mixed-use development, consisting of for-sale condominiums and class A office space, financed through additional equity contributions totaling approximately $17,115 and through borrowings under a $187,128 construction loan facility bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.35%.

    Unsecured Lines of Credit
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership utilizes a $450,000 syndicated unsecured revolving line of credit (the “Syndicated Line”) that matures in April 2010 for its short-term financing needs. The Syndicated Line currently has a stated interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.575% or the prime rate and was provided by a syndicate of 11 banks led by Wachovia Bank, N.A. and JP Morgan Securities, Inc. Additionally, the Syndicated Line requires the payment of annual facility fees currently equal to 0.15% of the aggregate loan commitment. The Syndicated Line provides for the interest rate and facility fee rate to be adjusted up or down based on changes in the credit ratings on the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured debt. The rates under the Syndicated Line are based on the higher of the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt ratings in instances where the Operating Partnership has split unsecured debt ratings. The Syndicated Line also includes a competitive bid option for short-term funds up to 50% of the loan commitment at rates generally below the stated line rate. The credit agreement for the Syndicated Line contains customary restrictions, representations, covenants and events of default, including fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage ratios. The Syndicated Line also restricts the amount of capital the Operating Partnership can invest in specific categories of assets, such as improved land, properties under construction, condominium properties, non-multifamily properties, debt or equity securities, notes receivable and unconsolidated affiliates. At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had issued letters of credit to third parties totaling $2,078 under this facility.
 
    Additionally, at June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had a $30,000 unsecured line of credit with Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the “Cash Management Line”). The Cash Management Line matures in April 2010 and carries pricing and terms, including debt covenants, substantially consistent with the Syndicated Line.

6.   DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had an outstanding interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of approximately $95,510 with a maturity date in 2009. The swap arrangement is a variable to fixed rate swap at a fixed rate of 5.21% and the swap was designated as a cash flow hedge of the Operating Partnership’s FNMA variable rate debt. This swap was entered into following the termination of a prior swap arrangement that became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles (SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Investments and Hedging Activities,” as amended) in the first quarter of 2006. The interest rate swap agreement is included on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at fair value. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement represented a liability of $27, and the liability was included in consolidated liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The change in the value of this cash flow hedge was recorded as a change in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a shareholders’ equity account, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
 
    In early 2006, a previous interest rate swap arrangement, accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles (SFAS No. 133, as amended). As a result, the gross increase in the market value of the interest rate swap arrangement of $1,655 through the April 2006 termination of the swap was recognized in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. In addition, under SFAS No. 133, as amended, the Operating Partnership is required to amortize into interest expense the cumulative unrecognized loss on the terminated interest rate swap arrangement of $4,021, included in shareholders’ equity, over the remaining life of the swap through 2009. Total amortization expense related to this swap was $281 and $281 for the three months ended and $562 and $554 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had outstanding an interest rate cap agreement with a financial institution with a notional value of $28,495. Through mid-December 2006, this interest rate cap agreement was a cash flow hedge that provided a fixed interest ceiling at 5% for the Operating Partnership’s variable rate, tax-exempt borrowings. As a result of the repayment of tax-exempt indebtedness in December 2006, the portion of this interest rate cap arrangement with a notional amount of $18,600 associated with this indebtedness became ineffective for accounting purposes. The Operating Partnership is required to maintain the interest rate exposure protection under the terms of the financing arrangements for outstanding tax-exempt borrowings of $9,895 at June 30, 2007. The interest rate cap arrangement is included on the accompanying balance sheet at fair value. The change in fair value of the ineffective portion of the arrangement is included in the statement of operations. Such amount was not material in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, the difference between the amortized costs of the cash flow hedge associated with the $9,895 tax-exempt borrowings and its $0 fair value is included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a shareholders’ equity account. The original cost of $126 of the remaining cash flow hedge is being amortized to expense over the five-year term.
 
    A summary of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:
                                 
    Three months ended     Six months ended

7.   SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
    Segment Description
 
    In accordance with SFAS No. 131, “Disclosure About the Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” the Operating Partnership presents segment information based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The segment information is prepared on the same basis as the internally reported information used by the Operating Partnership’s chief operating decision makers to manage the business.
 
    The Operating Partnership’s chief operating decision makers focus on the Operating Partnership’s primary sources of income from apartment community rental operations. Apartment community rental operations are generally broken down into four segments based on the various stages in the apartment community ownership lifecycle. These segments are described below. All commercial properties and other ancillary service and support operations are combined in the line item “other” in the accompanying segment information. The segment information presented below reflects the segment categories based on the lifecycle status of each community as of January 1, 2006. The segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 has been adjusted due to the restatement impact of reclassifying the operating results of the assets designated as held for sale or sold in 2006 to discontinued operations under SFAS No. 144 (see note 2).
    Fully stabilized communities – those apartment communities which have been stabilized (the earlier of the point at which a property reaches 95% occupancy or one year after completion of construction) for both the current and prior year.
 
    Development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities – those apartment communities under development, rehabilitation and lease-up during the period.
 
    Condominium conversion and other communities – those portions of existing apartment communities being converted into condominiums and other communities converted, or expected to be converted, to joint venture ownership that are reflected in continuing operations.
 
    Acquired communities – those communities acquired in the current or prior year.
Segment Performance Measure
Management uses contribution to consolidated property net operating income (“NOI”) as the performance measure for its operating segments. The Operating Partnership uses net operating income, including net operating income of stabilized communities, as an operating measure. Net operating income is defined as rental and other property revenue from real estate operations less total property and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (excluding depreciation and amortization). The Operating Partnership believes that net operating income 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 Operating Partnership, in evaluating the performance of operating segment groupings and individual properties. Additionally, the Operating Partnership believes that net operating income, as defined, is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate investment community. The Operating Partnership believes that the line on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating income.

8.   SEVERANCE COSTS
 
    In prior years, the Operating Partnership recorded severance charges associated with the departure of certain executive officers of the Operating Partnership. Under certain of these arrangements, the Operating Partnership is required to make certain payments and provide specified benefits through 2013 and 2016. The following table summarizes the activity relating to aggregate severance charges for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006:
                 
    Six months ended

9.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
 
    Interest paid (including capitalized amounts of $5,795 and $4,138 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively), aggregated $32,651 and $32,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s taxable REIT subsidiaries made income tax payments to federal and state taxing authorities totaling $1,062 and $401, respectively.
 
    Non-cash investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Operating Partnership amortized approximately $562 and $554, respectively, of accumulated other comprehensive non-cash losses into earnings related to an interest rate swap derivative financial instrument (see note 6). Other than the amortization discussed herein, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 the Operating Partnership’s derivative financial instruments, accounted for as cash flow hedges, increased in value causing a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a corresponding decrease in shareholder’s equity of $566. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Operating Partnership’s derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges increased in value causing a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a corresponding increase in partner’s equity of $690.
 
    The Operating Partnership committed to distribute $21,831 and $19,764 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
    For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued common shares for director compensation, totaling $277 and $377, respectively. These stock issuances were non-cash transactions. The Operating Partnership bears the compensation costs associated with the Company’s compensation plans. As such, the Operating Partnership issued common units to the Company in amounts equal to the above.
 
10.   EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
 
    Equity Compensation Plans
 
    As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expenses associated with the Company’s stock-based compensation plans. The information discussed below relating to the Company’s stock-based compensation plans is also applicable for the Operating Partnership. Effective January 1, 2006, the Operating Partnership accounts for stock-based compensation using the fair value method prescribed in SFAS No. 123R (see note 1). Other than the required modification under SFAS No. 123R to use an estimated forfeiture rate for award terminations and forfeitures, the adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on the Operating Partnership’s accounting for stock-based compensation. The cumulative impact of this modification on awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 was $172 and the amount was reflected as a reduction of compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

    Incentive Stock Plans
 
    Incentive stock awards are granted under the Company’s 2003 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2003 Stock Plan”). Under the 2003 Stock Plan, an aggregate of 4,000 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance. Of this amount, not more than 500 shares of common stock are available for grants of restricted stock. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2003 Stock Plan may not be less than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the option grant and all options may have a maximum life of ten years. Participants receiving restricted stock grants are generally eligible to vote such shares and receive dividends on such shares. Substantially all stock option and restricted stock grants are subject to annual vesting provisions (generally three to five years) as determined by the compensation committee overseeing the 2003 Stock Plan. At June 30, 2007, stock options outstanding under the 2003 Stock Plan and the Company’s previous stock plan totaled 2,473.
 
    Compensation costs for stock options have been estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method. The weighted average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:
                 
    Six months ended  
    June 30,  
    2007     2006  
Dividend yield
    3.8 %     4.5 %
Expected volatility
    18.1 %     17.5 %
Risk-free interest rate
    4.8 %     4.3 %
Expected option term (years)
    5.0       5.0  
The Company’s assumptions were derived from the methodologies discussed herein. The expected dividend yield reflects the Company’s current historical yield, which is expected to approximate the future yield. Expected volatility was based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate for the expected life of the options was based on the implied yields on the U.S. Treasury yield curve. The weighted average expected option term was based on the Company’s historical data for prior period stock option exercise and forfeiture activity.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company granted stock options to purchase 199 and 291 shares of Company common stock, respectively, to Company officers and directors, of which 28 and 50 shares, respectively, were granted to the Company’s non-executive chairman of the board. The Company recorded compensation expense related to stock options of $379 and $286 for the three months ended and $758 and $507 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, under the fair value method. Upon the exercise of stock options, the Company issues shares of common stock from treasury shares or, to the extent treasury shares are not available, from authorized common shares.
A summary of stock option activity under all plans for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 is presented below:

At June 30, 2007, there was $2,379 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $1,148 and $8,586, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic values of stock options outstanding, exercisable and expected to vest at June 30, 2007 were $44,724, $31,461 and $43,752, respectively. The weighted average remaining contractual lives of stock options outstanding, exercisable and expected to vest at June 30, 2007 were 5.8, 4.8 and 5.8 years, respectively. Stock options expected to vest at June 30, 2007 totaled 2,422 at a weighted average exercise price of approximately $34.06.

The restricted share grants generally vest ratably over three to five year periods. The weighted average grant date fair value for the restricted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $48.15 and $40.24, respectively, per share. The total value of the restricted share grants for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $2,371 and $1,571, respectively. The compensation cost is amortized ratably into compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. Total compensation expense relating to the restricted stock was $619 and $438 for the three months ended and $1,104 and $726 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    At June 30, 2007, there was $4,431 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.6 years. The total intrinsic value of restricted shares vested for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $235 and $198, respectively.
 
    Employee Stock Purchase Plan
 
    The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2005 ESPP”) under a plan approved by Company shareholders in 2005, and the maximum number of shares issuable is 300. The purchase price of shares of common stock under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the lesser of the closing price per share of common stock on the first or last day of the trading period, as defined. The Company records the aggregate cost of the ESPP (generally the 15% discount on the share purchases) as a period expense. Total compensation expense relating to the ESPP was $61 and $60 for the three months ended and $123 and $100 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

11.   INCOME TAXES
 
    Income or losses of the Operating Partnership are allocated to the partners of the Operating Partnership for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. Accordingly, no provisions or benefit for income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with the taxable year ended March 31, 1993. In order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, it must distribute 90% of its REIT taxable income, as defined in the Code, to its unitholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. The Operating Partnership intends to make sufficient cash distributions to the Company to enable it to meet its annual REIT distribution requirements.
 
    In the preparation of income tax returns in federal and state jurisdictions, the Operating Partnership and its taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) assert certain tax positions based on their understanding and interpretation of the income tax law. The taxing authorities may challenge such positions and the resolution of such matters could result in the payment and recognition of additional income tax expense as well as interest and penalties. Management believes it has used reasonable judgments and conclusions in the preparation of its income tax returns.
 
    The Operating Partnership adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership had unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $800 which primarily related to uncertainty regarding the sustainability of certain deductions taken on prior year income tax returns of the TRSs related to the amortization of certain intangible assets. To the extent these unrecognized tax benefits are ultimately recognized, they will impact the effective tax rate in a future period. The Operating Partnership’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and at June 30, 2007 was not material to the Operating Partnership’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.
 
    The Operating Partnership utilizes TRSs to perform such non-REIT activities as asset and property management, for-sale housing (condominiums) activities and other services for third parties. These TRSs are subject to federal and state income taxes. At December 31, 2006, the Operating Partnership’s TRSs had fully utilized its net operating loss carryforward from prior years. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the TRSs’ generated estimated taxable income of approximately $3,000, primarily resulting from current period condominium sales and other deferred tax asset temporary differences related to the recognition of taxable profits from condominium sales activities. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the TRSs recorded no net income tax expense (benefit). The current provision for estimated income taxes payable for the period of approximately $1,200 was offset by a $1,200 deferred tax benefit.
 
    At June 30, 2007, the TRSs’ net deferred tax assets, in excess of the $1,000 recognized in 2007 and discussed above, were fully offset by valuation allowances. The tax benefits associated with the unrecognized deferred tax assets may be recognized in future periods should the TRSs generate sufficient taxable income or should the TRSs determine that it is more likely than not that the related deferred tax assets are realizable.
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the TRSs’ recorded no income tax expense (benefit) due to estimated income tax losses for the periods and due to the existence of income tax net operating taxable loss carryforwards and other unrecognized deferred tax assets during the periods.
 
    The Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries’ (including the TRSs) income tax returns are subject to examination by federal and state tax jurisdictions for years 2003 through 2006. Net income tax loss carryforwards and other tax attributes generated in years prior to 2003 are also subject to challenge in any examination of the 2003 to 2006 tax years.
 
    A summary of the components of the TRSs’ deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2006 are included in the footnotes to the Operating Partnership’s audited financial statements included in the Operating Partnership’s Form 10-K. Other than the activity discussed above relating to condominium activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, there were no material changes to the components of deferred tax assets and liabilities at June 30, 2007.

12.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
    In November 2006, the Equal Rights Center (“ERC”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and the Operating Partnership in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by the Company and the Operating Partnership in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that includes retrofitting multi-family units and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. On April 18, 2007, ERC filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the Company and the Operating Partnership from selling any noncompliant apartment communities or condominium units while the litigation is ongoing. On July 25, 2007 the court entered an order denying ERC’s motion for the preliminary injunction. At this stage in the proceeding, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss that would be associated with an adverse decision.
 
    The Operating Partnership is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to its business from time to time, most of which are expected to be covered by liability or other insurance. Management of the Operating Partnership believes that any resolution of pending proceedings or liability to the Operating Partnership which may arise as a result of these various other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Operating Partnership’s results of operations or financial position.
 
13.   OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
 
    For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, other expenses were comprised of estimated state franchise and other taxes. Franchise taxes are associated with new margin-based taxes in Texas that are effective in 2007. In the three months ended March 31, 2006, one of the Operating Partnership’s derivative financial instruments, previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the net increase in the market value of this derivative prior to its termination in April 2006 totaling $233 and $1,655 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, was recognized in other income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Company Overview
Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries develop, own and manage upscale multifamily communities in selected markets in the United States. As used in this report, the term “Company” includes Post Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), unless the context indicates otherwise. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries is the general partner and owns a majority interest in the Operating Partnership which, through its subsidiaries, conducts substantially all of the on-going operations of the Company. At July 31, 2007, the Company owned 22,209 apartment units in 62 apartment communities, including 1,351 apartment units in four communities held in unconsolidated entities and 1,477 apartment units in five communities (and the expansion of one community) currently under construction and/or in lease-up. The Company is also developing 367 for-sale condominium homes (including 137 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) and is converting apartment homes in three communities initially consisting of 470 units (including 121 units in one community held in an unconsolidated entity) into for-sale condominium homes through a taxable REIT subsidiary. At June 30, 2007, approximately 44.0%, 19.0%, 12.2% and 9.8% (on a unit basis) of the Company’s operating communities were located in the Atlanta, Dallas, the greater Washington D.C. and Tampa metropolitan areas, respectively.
The Company has elected to qualify and operate as a self-administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. A REIT is a legal entity which holds real estate interests and is generally not subject to federal income tax on the income it distributes to its shareholders.
At June 30, 2007, the Company owned approximately 98.6% of the common limited partnership interests (“Common Units”) in the Operating Partnership. Common Units held by persons other than the Company represented a 1.4% common minority interest in the Operating Partnership.
Since 2005, the Company’s operating results have benefited from improved fundamentals in the multifamily apartment market, due primarily to improved job growth and overall growth in the U.S. economy, decreased affordability of for-sale housing, as well as a moderation in the supply of new market-rate apartments in the primary markets and submarkets where the Company operates. The rate of improvement in multifamily market fundamentals continued to accelerate in 2006, as interest rates continued to increase through the first half of the year, the for-sale housing markets began to weaken as a result of higher interest rates, excess inventories and tighter credit markets, and the U.S. economic and overall job growth climate and outlook continued to be favorable throughout the year. These factors continued to favorably impact apartment market fundamentals in the first half of 2007, although the rate of growth has been moderating. This is evidenced by strong year over year increases in same store operating revenues and property net operating income (“NOI”) of 4.9% and 5.1%, respectively, for the first six months of 2007, compared to 5.4% and 6.0%, respectively, for the full year of 2006. Some concerns have emerged recently relating to a slowdown in the overall U.S. housing market, attributable in part to continued concerns relating to the impact of rising mortgage delinquencies and tighter credit markets. The Company is forecasting continued moderation in the rate of growth of same store community revenues and NOI for the remainder of 2007 as more fully discussed in the “Outlook” section below.
The Company has also been active over the past several years repositioning its real estate portfolio and building its development and value creation capabilities centered upon its Southeast, Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions. During this time, the Company has been a net seller of apartment assets in an effort to exploit opportunities to harvest value and recycle capital through the sale of non-core assets that no longer met the Company’s growth objectives. The Company’s asset sales program has been consistent with its strategy of reducing its concentration in Atlanta, Georgia, building critical mass in fewer markets and leveraging the Post® brand in order to improve operating efficiencies. The Company has redeployed capital raised from its asset sales to strengthen its balance sheet, by reducing leverage, and reinvesting in assets that the Company believes demonstrate better growth potential.
In this regard, the Company acquired four apartment communities, consisting of 819 units, in 2006 of which one community is currently in lease-up as it was vacant upon acquisition. In July 2007, the Company acquired a 350 unit apartment community in Orlando, Florida. The Company also continued the growth of its development activities with its start of 826 for-rent apartment projects in Atlanta, Georgia, Dallas, Texas and Tampa, Florida in 2006 and the start of an 85 unit for-sale condominium project in Dallas, Texas in 2006. In 2007, the Company continued the growth of its development activities with the start of a 296 for-rent apartment project in Tampa, Florida and the start of a 137 unit for-sale condominium project (in an unconsolidated entity) in Atlanta, Georgia. The Company expects to begin additional development projects in the second half of 2007 and in 2008.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
Additionally, the Company disposed of 182 and 1,340 apartment units in the first quarter of 2007 and in the full year of 2006, respectively, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $24,000 and $175,000 for the first quarter of 2007 and for the full year of 2006, respectively. In the second quarter of 2007, the Company transferred two communities, containing 806 apartment units, to a newly formed unconsolidated entity, in which the Company retained a 25% interest. The 75% interest in these communities effectively sold to the institutional partner generated gross proceeds of approximately $90,300. The Company may continue to sell certain apartment communities in future periods as part of an overall financing plan to fund continued development and acquisition activity.
In early 2005, the Company entered the for-sale condominium housing market to exploit the strategic opportunity for Post to serve those consumers who are choosing to own, rather than rent, their home. As a result, the Company launched a new for-sale brand, Post Preferred Homes™, which serves as the unified marketing umbrella for the Company’s for-sale ventures, including developing new communities and converting existing apartment communities into upscale for-sale housing in several key markets. In total, the Company has converted five apartment communities since 2005, initially consisting of 731 units (including one held in a joint venture), into for-sale condominium homes. As of the end of the second quarter of 2007, three of these condominium conversion projects were sold out or substantially sold out. The other two projects, consisting of a 206-unit project in Tampa, FL and a 143-unit in Houston, TX, had, on average, closed the sales of approximately 55% of their total units as of the end of the second quarter of 2007. In late 2006 and continuing into 2007, there has been a softening in the condominium and single family housing markets due to increasing mortgage financing rates, increasing supplies of such assets, tighter credit standards and a slow down in the residential housing market in the U.S. As a result, the pace of condominium closings slowed in the second half of 2006 and continued into the first half of 2007. It is likely that closings will continue to be slow at these communities for the remainder of 2007. There can be no assurance of the amount or pace of future for-sale condominium sales and closings.
Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, the Company also began closing condominium homes at one of its two newly developed for-sale condominium projects, containing 230 homes. The Company expects closings at this community to continue in the third quarter of 2007 and expects closings at the second community to commence in the third quarter of 2007. As of July 23, 2007, the Company had 44 condominium homes under contract and had closed 55 homes at these communities. There can be no assurances that condominium homes under contract at these communities will close.
The Company’s expansion into for-sale condominium housing exposes the Company to additional risks and challenges, which if they materialize, could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $120,700 of total estimated capital cost (based on book value and including the Company’s investment in unconsolidated entities) committed to its for-sale condominium conversion and ground-up development projects, including projected development costs expected to be funded relating to three for-sale projects currently under construction. In addition, the Company also had, in the aggregate, approximately $117,500 of land held for future development as of June 30, 2007, of which a portion may be used to develop future for-sale condominium projects depending upon market conditions. There can be no assurance, however, that land held for future development will be used for such purposes or whether developments will actually commence. See “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for a discussion of these and other Company risk factors.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the selected financial data and with all of the accompanying consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion is combined for the Company and the Operating Partnership as their results of operations and financial condition are substantially the same except for the effect of the 1.5% weighted average common minority interest in the Operating Partnership. See the summary financial information in the section below titled, “Results of Operations.”
Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report, and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In addition, the Company, or the executive officers on the Company’s behalf, may from time to time make forward-looking statements in reports and other documents the Company files with the SEC or in connection with oral statements made to the press, potential investors or others. Statements regarding future events and developments and the Company’s future performance, as well as management’s expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “estimates,” or similar expressions. Examples of such statements in this report include the Company’s anticipated performance for the three months ending September 30, 2007 (including the Company’s assumptions for such performance and expected levels of costs and expenses to be incurred in 2007), anticipated apartment community sales for the remainder of 2007 (including the estimated proceeds,

estimated gains on sales and the use of proceeds from such sales), anticipated conversion of apartment communities into condominium homes, development of new for-sale condominium housing and the related sales of the for-sale condominium homes, anticipated future acquisition and development activities, accounting recognition and measurement of guarantees, anticipated refinancing and other new financing needs, the anticipated dividend level for the remainder of 2007, the Company’s ability to meet new construction, development and other long-term liquidity requirements, and its ability to execute future asset sales. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of the Company’s management, which in turn are based on currently available information. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding the market for the Company’s apartment communities, demand for apartments in the markets in which it operates, competitive conditions and general economic conditions. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. The forward-looking statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Many of these factors are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
  The success of the Company’s business strategies described on pages 2 to 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006;
 
  Future local and national economic conditions, including changes in job growth, interest rates, the availability of financing and other factors;
 
  Demand for apartments in the Company’s markets and the effect on occupancy and rental rates;
 
  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 obtain financing, enter into joint venture arrangements in relation to or self-fund the development or acquisition of additional apartment communities and for-sale condominium housing;
 
  The uncertainties associated with the Company’s real estate development, including actual costs exceeding the Company’s budgets or development periods exceeding expectations;
 
  Uncertainties associated with the timing and amount of apartment community sales and the resulting gains/losses associated with such sales;
 
  Uncertainties associated with the Company’s condominium conversion and for-sale housing business, including the timing and volume of condominium sales;
 
  Conditions affecting ownership of residential real estate and general conditions in the multi-family residential real estate market;
 
  Uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters;
 
  The impact of the Company’s ongoing litigation with the Equal Rights Center regarding compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Fair Housing Act (including any award of compensatory or punitive damages or injunctive relief requiring the Company to retrofit apartments or public use areas or prohibiting the sale of apartment communities or condominium units) as well as the impact of other litigation;
 
  The effects of changes in accounting policies and other regulatory matters detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;
 
  The Company’s ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code; and
 
  Other factors, including the risk factors discussed on pages 7 to 15 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and that may be discussed in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are mad e, and management undertakes no obligation to update publicly any of them in light of new information or future events.
Critical Accounting Policies and Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In the preparation of financial statements and in the determination of Company operating performance, the Company utilizes certain significant accounting polices. The Company’s significant accounting policies are included in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company’s critical accounting policies are those that require application of 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 and may change in subsequent periods. For a complete description of the Company’s critical accounting policies, please refer to pages 26 through 28 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The discussion below

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
addresses the implementation and impact of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements with an impact on the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 or that may have an impact on future reported results.
In November 2006 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-8 (“EITF No. 06-8”), “Applicability of the Assessment of a Buyer’s Continuing Investment under FASB Statement No. 66 for Sales of Condominiums.” EITF No. 06-8 provides additional guidance on whether the seller of a condominium unit is required to evaluate the buyer’s continuing investment under SFAS No. 66 in order to recognize profit from the sale under the percentage of completion method. The EITF concluded that both the buyer’s initial and continuing investment must meet the criteria in SFAS No. 66 in order for condominium sale profits to be recognized under the percentage of completion method. Sales of condominiums not meeting the continuing investment test must be accounted for under the deposit method (a method consistent with the Company’s Completed Contract Method). EITF No. 06-8 is effective January 1, 2008. The Company accounts for condominium sales using similar criteria to those stated in EITF No. 06-8. As a result, the Company does not expect that the adoption of EITF No. 06-8 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” was issued in July 2006. FIN 48 clarifies guidance on the recognition and measurement of uncertain tax positions and establishes a more likely than not standard for the evaluation of whether such tax positions can be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. Previously recognized tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not criteria were required to be adjusted on the implementation date. Additionally, FIN 48 requires additional disclosure regarding the nature and amount of uncertain tax positions, if any. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations (see note 11 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements).
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 provides a definition of fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarified the definition of fair value in an effort to eliminate inconsistencies in the application of fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Additional disclosure focusing on the methods used to determine fair value is also required. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of operations and the community operations/segment performance information included below.
The Company’s revenues and earnings are generated primarily from the operation of its apartment communities. For purposes of evaluating comparative operating performance, the Company categorizes its operating communities based on the period each community reaches stabilized occupancy. The Company generally considers a development community to have achieved stabilized occupancy on the earlier to occur of (1) attainment of 95% physical occupancy on the first day of any month or (2) one year after completion of construction.
At June 30, 2007, the Company’s portfolio of apartment communities, excluding five communities held in unconsolidated entities (of which one community is being converted into condominiums) consisted of the following: (1) 46 communities that were completed and stabilized for all of the current and prior year, (2) four communities under rehabilitation programs or in lease-up, (3) portions of two communities that are being converted into condominiums and one community expected to be converted to joint venture ownership that are reflected in continuing operations, and (4) three communities that were acquired in 2006.
In order to evaluate the operating performance of its communities for the comparative years listed below, the Company has presented financial information which summarizes the rental and other property revenues, property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) and net operating income on a comparative basis for all of its operating communities and for its stabilized operating communities. Net operating income is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. The Company believes that the line on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating income. A reconciliation of net operating income to GAAP net income is included below. The Company believes that net operating income 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. This measure is particularly useful, in the opinion of the Company, in evaluating the performance of geographic operations, operating segment groupings and individual properties.

Fully Stabilized (Same Store) Communities
The Company defines fully stabilized communities as those which have reached stabilization prior to the beginning of the previous year, adjusted by communities sold and classified as held for sale, two communities under rehabilitation, two communities that were converted to joint venture ownership and another community expected to be converted to joint venture ownership later in 2007. For the 2007 to 2006 comparison, fully stabilized communities are defined as those communities which reached stabilization prior to January 1, 2006. This portfolio consisted of 46 communities with 17,076 units, including 18 communities with 7,082 units (41.5%) located in Atlanta, Georgia, 12 communities with 3,607 units (21.1%) located in Dallas, Texas, three communities with 1,883 units (11.0%) located in Tampa, Florida, four communities with 1,703 units (10.0%) located in the greater Washington, DC area, four communities with 1,388 units (8.1%) located in Charlotte, North Carolina and five communities with 1,419 units (8.3%) located in other markets. The operating performance and capital expenditures of these communities are summarized as follows:

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 same store communities. The corresponding GAAP measures include information with respect to the Company’s other operating segments consisting of communities stabilized in the prior year, development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities, condominium conversion communities, acquired communities, held for sale communities and sold communities 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 are the lines on the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows entitled “annually recurring capital expenditures” and “periodically recurring capital expenditures.”
 
(3)   Average economic occupancy is defined 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. Gross potential rent is defined as the sum of the gross actual rental rates for leased units and the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied units. The calculation of average economic occupancy does not include a deduction for net concessions and employee discounts. Average economic occupancy including these amounts would have been 93.6% and 94.3% for the three months ended and 93.4% and 94.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net concessions were $297 and $368, respectively, and employee discounts were $202 and $171, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net concessions were $572 and $700, respectively and employee discounts were $405 and $337, respectively.
 
(4)   Average monthly rental rate is defined as the average of the gross actual rental rates for leased units and the average of the anticipated rental rates for unoccupied units, divided by total units.
Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 to Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
The Operating Partnership reported net income available to common unitholders of $62,938 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $62,027 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12,074 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase between years primarily reflects increased gains on sales of real estate assets in 2007 resulting from gains on land sales of $1,740 and gains on the sale of a 75% interest in two apartment communities of $55,300. There were no comparable gains in 2006. The improved operating performance of the Company’s stabilized communities also contributed to increased net income between periods. The impact of these items is discussed below.
Rental and other revenues from property operations increased $4,000 or 5.4% from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to increased revenues from the Company’s same store communities of $2,699 or 4.5%, increased revenues of $1,110 from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities and increased revenues from acquired communities of $1,837 offset by reduced revenues from condominium conversion and other communities of $1,602. The revenue increase from same store communities is discussed more fully below. The revenue increase from acquired communities reflects the Company’s acquisition of one community in July 2006. The revenue increase from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities reflects the lease-up of two communities in 2007. The revenue decrease from condominium conversion and other communities reflects the reduction of leased units as units were vacated for conversion and sale throughout 2006 and due to the transfer and sale of a 75% interest in two communities to an

unconsolidated entity in May 2007. Property operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $2,898 or 8.6% primarily due to increased property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities of $1,142 and from fully stabilized communities of $1,146 or 5.0% between periods. The expense increase from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities reflects expenses associated with the lease-up of two communities in 2007. The expense increase from stabilized communities is discussed below.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007, gains on sales of real estate assets in continuing operations included a gain of $55,300 from the transfer of 75% interest in two communities into a newly found unconsolidated entity, in which the Company retained a 25% interest and a gain of $1,740 from the sale of a land site. There were no sales of apartment communities or land sites for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The Company may continue to be a seller of apartment communities in future periods depending on market conditions and consistent with its investment strategy of recycling investment capital to fund new development and acquisition activities. The Company may also enter into additional joint venture arrangements in future periods.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, gains on sales of real estate assets from condominium sales activities represented net gains of $5,676 and $8,559, respectively. As discussed in the consolidated financial statements, net condominium gains of $5,676 and $8,569 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively were included in continuing operations. The decrease in aggregate condominium gains between periods primarily reflects the volume and timing of condominium closings. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company closed 68 and 83 units, respectively, at wholly owned development and conversion communities. Aggregate condominium sales generated gross proceeds of $25,222 in 2007 and $21,985 in 2006. The Company expects gains on sales of real estate assets at the Company’s condominium development and conversion communities to continue at a slow to modest pace in the second half of 2007, generally consistent with the sales pace in the first half of 2007. See the “Outlook” section below for a discussion of expected condominium sale closings at a second newly developed condominium community in the second half of 2007.
Depreciation expense increased $312, or 1.9% from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to depreciation expense of $717 related to development and lease-up communities as apartment units were placed in service in late 2006 and early 2007 and $181 related to properties acquired in 2006. These increases were offset primarily by reduced depreciation between periods at fully stabilized communities of $706 resulting from certain furniture and fixtures (with a five year life) at certain properties becoming fully depreciated in 2006.
General and administrative expenses increased $1,327, or 28.7%, from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to higher compensation costs and higher corporate technology expenses. Higher compensation costs in 2007 of $668 reflected annual compensation increases, increased personnel costs associated with internalizing certain compliance activities and increased incentive awards to management, including approximately $431 of increased variable incentive expense primarily driven by increases in the Company’s stock price in the second quarter of 2007. The increase in technology expenses of $162 primarily reflects higher consulting and other costs associated with the implementation of enhanced corporate systems and technology support services as well as the timing of such consulting and project expenditures between periods. In addition, the Company recorded additional severance charges of $283 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 related to increased accruals of prior year severance arrangements. The level of quarterly general and administrative expenses for the second half of 2007 are expected to be generally consistent with the expenses reported in the first half of 2007.
Investment and development expenses increased $315, or 19.5%, from 2006 to 2007. In 2007, the Company’s development personnel and other costs increased $547 over 2006, as the Company continued to grow its development pipeline in three regional markets and due to approximately $251 of increased variable incentive expense primarily driven by increases in the Company’s stock price in the second quarter of 2007. These cost increases were offset by $232 of increased capitalization of development personnel to increasing development activity commencing in 2006 and continuing into 2007.
Interest expense included in continuing operations decreased $270 or 2.0% from 2006 to 2007. The decreased expense amounts between periods primarily reflect increased interest capitalization on the Company’s development projects of $382 between periods offset somewhat by higher interest expense on higher average debt levels due to increased development activity between years as well as increased land acquisition activity in 2006 and 2007. Interest expense included in discontinued operations decreased from $908 in 2006 to $0 in 2007 primarily due to interest expense associated with three communities sold in 2006.
Equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities decreased $102 or 24.8% from 2006 to 2007. The decrease was primarily due to lower net gains from condominium sales at the unconsolidated entity that converted its apartment community into condominiums. The decreased net gains from condominium sales reflects fewer units being sold as only one unit closed during the second quarter of 2007 compared to 16 unit closings in 2006. See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of the operating

results of the Company’s unconsolidated entities. The unconsolidated entity converting its units into for-sale condominiums had one remaining condominium unit to close in future periods as of June 30, 2007.
Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2007 represented expenses associated with estimated state franchise and other taxes. Franchise taxes are associated with new margin-based taxes in Texas that are effective in 2007. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, one of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the net increase in the market value of this derivative prior to its termination in April 2006 totaling $233 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 was recognized in other income.
Annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures from continuing operations decreased $226 or 4.3% from 2006 to 2007. The decrease in annually recurring capital expenditures of $247 primarily reflects the timing of expenditures between periods. Periodically recurring capital expenditures were generally flat between periods reflecting increased costs associated with access upgrades at several communities offset by lower tenant improvements at commercial properties.
Fully Stabilized Communities
Rental and other revenues increased $2,699 or 4.5% from 2006 to 2007. This increase resulted from a 5.7% increase in the average monthly rental rate per apartment unit, offset somewhat by a decrease in average economic occupancy of the portfolio from 95.2% to 94.4%. This increase in average rental rates resulted in a revenue increase of approximately $3,379 between years. The occupancy decrease resulted in higher vacancy losses of $881. Additionally, other property revenues increased $201 due primarily to higher up-front leasing fees and slightly lower net concessions between years of $71. Overall, the improved performance of the operating portfolio, in the second quarter of 2007, reflects the impact of the rental rate increases embedded into the portfolio throughout much of 2006. The Company believes that the automated revenue pricing software implemented in 2006 partially contributed to the increased revenue in 2007. Average occupancy rates have declined somewhat in 2007 due to an emphasis on increasing rental rates and due to a general moderation in rental market conditions. The Company will continue to focus on rent growth in 2007, but will also establish rental rate structures that will enable average occupancy rates to remain at mid-90% levels. See the “Outlook” section below for an additional discussion of trends for 2007.
Property operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $1,146 or 5.0% from 2006 to 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased property tax expenses of $310 or 4.1%, increased insurance expenses of $338 or 32.7%, increased maintenance expenses of $169 or 6.0% and increased personnel expenses of $173 or 3.2%. Property tax expenses increased due to increased accrual rates in 2007 due to expected tax increases. Insurance expenses increased due to significantly higher insurance rates on renewal of the Company’s insurance program in the fourth quarter of 2006 and second quarter of 2007. The insurance rate increases primarily relate to market increases in catastrophic coverage in coastal regions. Maintenance expenses increased due to higher costs associated with somewhat higher resident turnover expenses and higher equipment repairs between periods. Personnel costs increased primarily due to annual salary increases.

The Operating Partnership reported net income available to common unitholders of $85,851 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $15,304 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company reported net income available to common shareholders of $84,589 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $14,966 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase between years primarily reflects increased gains on sales of real estate assets in 2007 resulting from gains on land sales of $3,938 and gains on sales of one apartment community in the first quarter of $16,974 and on the sale of a 75% interest in two apartment communities of $55,300. There were no comparable gains in 2006. The improved operating performance of the Company’s stabilized communities also contributed to increased net income between periods. The impact of these items is discussed below.
Rental and other revenues from property operations increased $9,291 or 6.3% from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to increased revenues from the Company’s same store communities of $5,848 or 4.9%, increased revenues of $1,372 from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities and increased revenues from acquired communities of $4,323 offset by reduced revenues from condominium conversion and other communities of $2,286. The revenue increase from same store communities is discussed more fully below. The revenue increase from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities reflects the lease-up of two communities in 2007. The revenue increase from acquired communities reflects the Company’s acquisition of two communities in March 2006 and one community in July 2006. The revenue decrease from condominium conversion and other communities reflects the reduction of leased units as units were vacated for conversion and sale throughout 2006 and due to the transfer and sale of a 75% interest in two condominium communities to an unconsolidated entity in May 2007. Property operating and maintenance expenses

(exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $5,477 or 8.2% primarily due to increased property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) from acquisition communities of $1,557, from fully stabilized communities of $2,094 or 4.6% and from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities of $1,980 between periods. The expense increase from acquisition communities reflects a full six months of expenses in 2007 from communities acquired in 2006. The expense increase from development, rehabilitation and lease-up communities reflect expenses associated with the lease-up of two communities in 2007. The expense increase from stabilized communities is discussed below.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, gains on sales of real estate assets in continuing operations included gains of $3,938 from the sale of two land sites and a gain of $55,300 from the transfer of a 75% interest in two communities into a newly formed unconsolidated entity, in which the Company retained a 25% interest. Gains on real estate assets in discontinued operations included a gain of $16,974 from the sale of one apartment community containing 182 apartment units. There were no sales of apartment communities or land sites in the six months ended June 30, 2006. The Company may continue to be a seller of apartment communities in future periods depending on market conditions and consistent with its investment strategy of recycling investment capital to fund new development and acquisition activities. The Company may also enter into additional joint venture arrangements in future periods.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, gains on sales of real estate assets from condominium sales activities represented net gains of $7,341 and $8,802, respectively. As discussed in the consolidated financial statements, net condominium gains of $7,162 and $8,411 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 respectively, were included in continuing operations. The decrease in aggregate condominium gains between periods primarily reflects the volume and timing of condominium closings. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company closed 91 and 95 units, respectively, at wholly owned development and conversion communities. Aggregate condominium sales generated gross proceeds of $31,651 in 2007 and $24,981 in 2006. The Company expects gains on sales of real estate assets at the Company’s condominium conversion communities to continue at a slow to modest pace in the second half of 2007, generally consistent with the sales pace in the first half of 2007. See the “Outlook” section below for a discussion of expected condominium sale closings at newly developed condominium communities in the second half of 2007.
Depreciation expense increased $968, or 2.9% from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to depreciation expense of $1,178 related to development and lease-up communities as apartment units were placed in service in late 2006 and the first half of 2007, $880 related to properties acquired in 2006 and approximately $466 of accelerated depreciation related to the retirement of six apartment units and certain enclosed garages at a Florida community to accommodate the expansion of the community in 2007. These increases were offset by reduced depreciation between periods at fully stabilized communities of $1,226 resulting from certain furniture and fixtures (with a five year life) at certain properties becoming fully depreciated in 2006.
General and administrative expenses increased $2,349, or 25.9%, from 2006 to 2007 primarily due to higher compensation costs, higher legal expenses and higher corporate technology expenses. Higher compensation costs in 2007 of $1,470 reflected annual compensation increases, increased personnel costs associated with internalizing certain compliance activities and increased incentive awards to management, including approximately $431 of increased variable incentive expense primarily driven by increases in the Company’s stock price in the second quarter of 2007. Approximately $100 of this increase reflects the one-time favorable adjustment in 2006 relating to the implementation of SFAS 123R (stock-based compensation). Legal expenses increased by $287 primarily due to litigation costs associated with the Fair Housing Act and Americans with Disabilities Act which began in the fourth quarter of 2006 as well as the general timing of on-going legal expenses between periods. The increase in technology expenses of $376 primarily reflects higher consulting and other costs associated with the implementation of enhanced corporate systems and technology support services as well as the timing of such consulting and project expenditures between periods. In addition, the Company recorded additional severance charges of $283 in the three months ended June 30, 2007 related to increased accruals of prior year severance arrangements.
Investment and development expenses increased $293 or 9.3% from 2006 and 2007. In 2007, the Company’s development personnel and other costs increased $1,024 over 2006, as the Company continued to grow its development pipeline in three regional markets and due to approximately $251 of increased variable incentive expense primarily driven by increases in the Company’s stock price in the second quarter of 2007. These cost increases were offset by $731 of increased capitalization of development personnel to increasing development activity commencing in 2006 and continuing into 2007.
Interest expense included in continuing operations decreased $273 or 1.0% from 2006 to 2007. The decreased expense amounts between periods primarily reflect increased interest capitalization on the Company’s development projects of $1,657 between periods offset somewhat by higher interest expense on higher average debt levels due to increased development activity between years as well as increased land acquisition activity in 2006 and 2007. Interest expense included in discontinued operations decreased

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
from $1,812 in 2006 to $56 in 2007 primarily due to interest expense associated with three communities sold in the second half of 2006.
Equity in income of unconsolidated real estate entities increased $90 or 12.4% from 2006 to 2007. The increase was primarily due to reduced operating losses between years at the unconsolidated entity converting its units into condominiums, offset somewhat by reduced earnings from the operating apartment communities primarily resulting from reduced occupancy levels between years. See note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for a summary of the operating results of the Company’s unconsolidated entities. The unconsolidated entity had one remaining condominium unit to close in future periods as of June 30, 2007.
Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2007 represented expenses associated with estimated state franchise and other taxes. Franchise taxes are associated with new margin-based taxes in Texas that are effective in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, one of the Company’s derivative financial instruments, previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge, became ineffective under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, the net increase in the market value of this derivative prior to its termination in April 2006 totaling $1,655 was recognized in other income.
Annually recurring and periodically recurring capital expenditures from continuing operations increased $2,063 or 2.62% from 2006 to 2007. The increase in annually recurring capital expenditures of $421 primarily reflects higher leasing office and model upgrade expenditures in 2007. The increase in periodically recurring capital expenditures of $1,642 primarily reflects increased costs associated with access upgrades at several communities and access upgrades and other non-revenue generating capital expenditures (principally new roofs and HVAC system upgrades) incurred in conjunction with the Company’s rehabilitation of two communities.
Fully Stabilized Communities
Rental and other revenues increased $5,848 or 4.9% from 2006 to 2007. This increase resulted from a 6.3% increase in the average monthly rental rate per apartment unit, offset somewhat by a decrease in average economic occupancy of the portfolio from 95.2% to 94.2%. This increase in average rental rates resulted in a revenue increase of approximately $7,342 between years. The occupancy decrease resulted in higher vacancy losses of $1,971. Additionally, other property revenues increased $477 due primarily to higher up-front leasing fees and slightly lower net concessions between years of $128. Overall, the improved performance of the operating portfolio, in 2007, reflects the impact of the rental rate increases embedded into the portfolio throughout much of 2006. The Company believes that the automated revenue pricing software implemented in 2006 partially contributed to the increased revenue in 2007. Average occupancy rates have declined in 2007 due to an emphasis on increasing rental rates, due to a general moderation in rental market conditions and somewhat higher resident turnover rates. The Company will continue to focus on rent growth in the second half of 2007, but will also establish rental rate structures that will enable average occupancy rates to remain at mid-90% levels. See the “Outlook” section below for an additional discussion of trends for 2007.
Property operating and maintenance expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) increased $2,094 or 4.6% from 2006 to 2007. This increase was primarily due to increased property tax expenses of $638 or 4.2%, increased insurance expenses of $590 or 28.5%, increased maintenance expenses of $356 or 7.2% and increased personnel expenses of $260 or 2.4%. Property tax expenses increased due to increased accrual rates in 2007 due to expected tax increases in 2007. Insurance expenses increased due to significantly higher insurance rates on renewal of the Company’s insurance program in the fourth quarter of 2006 and second quarter of 2007. The insurance rate increases primarily relate to market increases in catastrophic coverage in coastal regions. Maintenance expenses increased due to higher costs associated with higher resident turnover expenses and higher equipment repairs between periods. Personnel costs increased primarily due to annual salary increases.
Discontinued Operations
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, the operating results and gains and losses on property sales of real estate assets designated as held for sale are included in discontinued operations in the consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations of one condominium conversion community through its sell out date in February 2007 and the results of operations of one apartment community, containing 182 units, through its sale date in March 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, income from discontinued operations included the results of operations of the condominium conversion community and apartment community sold in 2007 and three apartment communities sold in the second half of 2006. The revenues and expenses of discontinued operations are summarized in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The gains on sales of real estate assets between periods reflect the timing and size of the communities and for-sale condominiums sold. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized net gains of $16,974 from the sale of one apartment community in the first quarter of 2007. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company did not sell any apartment communities. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company sold the final condominium unit at its

discontinued conversion community compared to 20 units for the six months ended June 30, 2006. These reduced condominium sales resulted in reduced condominium gains of $212 between periods. These gains are discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.
As discussed under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” the Company expects to continue to sell real estate assets and possibly convert certain apartment assets into for-sale condominiums in future periods as part of its overall investment, disposition and acquisition strategy. As such, the Company may continue to have additional assets classified as held for sale; however, the timing and amount of such asset sales and their impact on the aggregate revenues and expenses included in discontinued operations will vary from period to period. Additionally, should the Company change its expectations regarding the holding period for certain assets or decide to classify certain assets as held for sale, this could cause the Company to recognize impairment losses in future periods if the carrying value of these assets is not deemed recoverable.
Outlook
Certain statements made below may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on current apartment market and general economic conditions and litigation and other risks as outlined in the section titled “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
The Company’s outlook for the third quarter of 2007 is based on the expectation that apartment markets will continue to grow in 2007, but that the rate of growth will moderate somewhat from the first half of 2007. Rental and other revenues from fully stabilized communities are expected to increase modestly when compared to 2006, driven by higher year-over-year rental rates and somewhat higher occupancy levels. However, operating expenses of fully stabilized communities are also expected to increase in the third quarter of 2007. The Company expects the primary drivers of the expense increase will be property tax and insurance expenses. Based on these assumptions for the third quarter of 2007, management expects stabilized community net operating income to increase modestly in 2007 compared to 2006, but at somewhat lower levels than achieved in the first half of 2007.
Additionally, the Company, through taxable REIT subsidiaries, continues its conversions of portions of two existing apartment communities into for-sale condominium units as well as completing the sell out of one condominium conversion community held in an unconsolidated entity. The Company expects the condominium conversion community held through the unconsolidated entity to sell out during the third quarter of 2007 (only one unit remains at June 30, 2007). For the remaining two condominium conversion communities, the Company expects to continue to sell units during the remainder of 2007 and into 2008. The Company expects to continue to recognize net accounting gains from its Alexandria, Virginia development community and to begin closing condominium units at its newly developed condominium community in Dallas, Texas. As a result, net accounting gains from for-sale condominiums in the third quarter of 2007 are expected to be relatively consistent with net gains in the second quarter of 2007. There can be no assurances that these for-sale condominium units will close.
Management expects interest expense in the third quarter of 2007 to be somewhat lower than in the third quarter of 2006 due generally to expected increases in interest capitalization in 2007 resulting from an increasing volume of construction in progress and from additional development starts in mid to late 2006 as well as generally lower debt levels resulting from asset sales in late 2006 and early 2007. Management also expects general and administrative expenses to increase modestly when compared to the third quarter of 2006.
The Company has four apartment communities and the expansion of one apartment community under construction and in lease-up with a total expected cost of approximately $236,500 and has three condominium communities (including one held in an unconsolidated entity) under construction with a total expected cost of approximately $158,300. The Company expects to begin additional development projects later in 2007 and in future years. In the last few years, the Company has added additional development personnel for the purpose of increasing its development and investment activities. The Company expects these personnel resources will continue to be dilutive to earnings in the third quarter and remainder of 2007 until the incremental personnel and associated costs can be fully absorbed by new development and value creation activities.
On a sequential basis for the third quarter of 2007, management expects to report lower net income compared to the second quarter of 2007 due to the large gain on the sale of a 75% interest in two communities converted to joint venture ownership in the second quarter of 2007. Management expects same store property net operating income to be somewhat higher when compared to the second quarter of 2007, primarily driven by higher rental revenues and increased occupancy in the third quarter. General and administrative costs, property management expenses and development costs in the aggregate are expected to be flat to slightly lower compared to the second quarter of 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The discussion in this Liquidity and Capital Resources section is the same for the Company and the Operating Partnership, except that all indebtedness described herein has been incurred by the Operating Partnership.
The Company’s net cash flow from operating activities decreased from $51,950 in the first half of 2006 to $44,897 in the first half of 2007 primarily due unfavorable changes in the working capital components (primarily larger increases in prepaid expenses due to the timing of insurance payments and slower increases in payable between periods) included in operating activities as well as somewhat reduced operating earnings resulting from the dilutive impact of the Company’s asset sale and recycling program. The Company expects cash flows from operating activities to be consistent with or decline somewhat in 2007 primarily driven by the dilutive cash flow impact from lease-up communities, prior period asset sales and modest increases in overhead expenses.
Net cash flows used in investing activities changed from net cash used in investing activities of $123,680 in the first half of 2006 to net cash provided by investing activities of $93,914 in the first half of 2007 primarily due to increased net proceeds from sales of real estate assets, decreased apartment acquisition and land acquisition costs in 2007, offset somewhat in 2007 by increased spending on development and rehabilitation activities. In addition, proceeds from sales of real estate assets increased in 2007 primarily due to the sales of an apartment community, a 75% interest in two apartment communities and land sites for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $120,752. The Company acquired two apartment communities in the first quarter of 2006 for approximately $46,500 and acquired development land sites in 2006 of approximately $52,782 compared to approximately $19,941 in 2007. The Company began renovations of two of its apartment communities in mid 2006 and construction and development expenditures have increased in 2007 as the Company initiated new development starts in 2006 and 2007. For the remainder of 2007, the Company expects to increase development activities (additional starts in 2007 and higher expenditures at existing developments) in all of its regional geographic areas primarily financed through debt borrowings and, potentially, through joint venture arrangements (see below). The Company expects to sell additional apartment communities and condominium homes and to principally reinvest the proceeds in its development communities and to repay debt.
Net cash flows from financing activities changed from net cash provided by financing activities of $75,863 in the first half of 2006 to net cash used of $137,011 in the first half of 2007 primarily due to the net repayment of indebtedness and line of credit borrowings resulting from the increased net proceeds from real estate asset sales in 2007 discussed above as well as decreased proceeds from stock option exercises in 2007. For the remainder of 2007, the Company expects that its outstanding debt may increase modestly, depending on the level of potential asset sales and other joint venture activity, principally to fund the expected increase in acquisition and development activity discussed above.
Since 1993, the Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Management currently intends to continue operating the Company as a REIT for the remainder of 2007. As a REIT, the Company is subject to a number of organizational and operating requirements, including a requirement to distribute 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its shareholders. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on its taxable income it distributes to its shareholders.
Generally, the Company’s objective is to meet its short-term liquidity requirement of funding the payment of its current level of quarterly preferred and common stock dividends to shareholders through its net cash flows provided by operating activities, less its annual recurring, periodically recurring and corporate capital expenditures. These operating capital expenditures are the capital expenditures necessary to maintain the earnings capacity of the Company’s operating assets over time.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company’s net cash flow from operations, reduced by annual operating capital expenditures, was not sufficient to fully fund the Company’s current level of dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders by approximately $10,000. The Company used the proceeds from asset and condominium sales and line of credit borrowings to fund the additional cash flow necessary to satisfy the Company’s annual dividend to common shareholders of $1.80 per share. The Company’s net cash flow from operations continues to be sufficient to meet the dividend requirements necessary to maintain its REIT status under the Code.
For the second half of 2007, management of the Company expects to maintain its current quarterly dividend payment rate to common shareholders of $0.45 per share. At this dividend rate, the Company expects that net cash flows from operations reduced by annual operating capital expenditures will not be sufficient to fund the dividend payments to common and preferred shareholders by approximately $10,000 to $15,000 for the full year. The Company primarily intends to use the proceeds from asset and condominium sales and additional line of credit borrowings to fund the additional cash flow necessary to satisfy the dividend payments to common shareholders. The primary factors leading to the shortfall are the negative cash flow impact of sales of

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
operating properties (discussed below), the short-term negative impact of apartment rehabilitation and lease-up activities and the negative impact of condominium conversion properties prior to the reinvestment of such proceeds. The Company’s board of directors reviews the dividend quarterly, and there can be no assurance that the current dividend level will be maintained.
The Company generally expects to utilize net cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available capacity under its revolving lines of credit to fund its short-term liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures, development and construction expenditures, land and apartment community acquisitions, dividends and distributions on its common and preferred equity and its debt service requirements. Available borrowing capacity under the Company’s revolving lines of credit as of June 30, 2007 was created primarily through the Company’s asset sales program. The Company generally expects to fund its long-term liquidity requirements, including maturities of long-term debt and acquisition and development activities, through long-term unsecured and secured borrowings, through additional sales of selected operating properties, and possibly through equity or leveraged joint venture arrangements. The Company may also enter joint venture arrangements in future periods to reduce its market concentrations in certain markets, build critical mass in other markets and to reduce its exposure to certain risks of its future development activities.
As previously discussed, the Company intends to use the proceeds from the sale of operating communities and condominium homes, availability under its unsecured revolving lines of credit, debt financing and joint venture arrangements as the primary source of capital to fund its current and future development and acquisition expenditures. The Company had instituted an active asset sale and capital recycling program as the primary means to fund its on-going community development and acquisition program. In the first half of 2007, the Company generated net proceeds of approximately $120,752 from the sale of one apartment community, from the sale of a 75% interest in two communities, which were converted to a joint venture ownership, and from the sale of land sites. For the remainder of 2007, the Company also expects to generate additional sales proceeds from the sale of condominium homes. It is the current intent of management to continue to recycle capital through selling assets (possibly through additional joint venture arrangements) and reinvesting the proceeds as a strategy to diversify the cash flows of the Company across its markets and focus on building critical mass in fewer markets. In July 2007, the Company closed the acquisition of an apartment community and adjacent undeveloped land in Orlando, Florida, which it expects to fund in part with the expected proceeds from the sale of two older Atlanta, Georgia apartment communities.
In June 2007, the Company repaid $25,000 of unsecured notes through borrowings under its credit facilities. In July 2007, the Company repaid approximately $83,132 of secured indebtedness through borrowings under its unsecured lines of credit. Other than principal payments under amortizing secured indebtedness, the Company has no scheduled maturities of secured or unsecured indebtedness for the remainder of 2007.
At June 30, 2007, the Company had approximately $41,281 borrowed under its $480,000 combined line of credit facilities. The credit facilities mature in April 2010. The terms, conditions and restrictive covenants associated with the Company’s lines of credit facilities are summarized in note 4 to the consolidated financial statements. At June 30, 2007, management believed the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Company’s credit facility arrangements. Management believes it will have adequate capacity under its facilities to execute its business plan and meet its short-term liquidity requirements for the second half of 2007.
Stock Repurchase Program
In the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company’s board of directors adopted a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $200,000 of common or preferred stock at market prices from time to time until March 31, 2008. For the three months ended March 2007, the Company repurchased 83 shares of common stock totaling approximately $3,694 under this program. There were no share repurchases in the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Capitalization of Fixed Assets and Community Improvements
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, except such costs at communities under major rehabilitation programs.

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
In conjunction with acquisitions of existing communities, it is the Company’s policy to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to complete any deferred maintenance items and to otherwise make the communities acquired competitive with comparable newly-constructed communities. In some cases, the Company will provide in its acquisition budgets additional funds to upgrade or otherwise improve new acquisitions. Such costs are generally capitalized as costs of the acquired communities, when identified and included as part of an approved capital budget at the time of acquisition and when incurred during the twelve months subsequent to the acquisition date.
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.
Acquisition of assets and community development and other capitalized expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are summarized as follows:

(3)   As of July 23, 2007, represents the total number of units under contract for sale upon completion and delivery of the units. There can be no assurance that condominium units under contract will close.
 
(4)   Total estimated construction costs for the Post Hyde Park® expansion include the estimated replacement costs of six apartment units at the Company’s existing Hyde Park community that were demolished to accommodate the expansion.
 
(5)   This project, consisting of 145 units, is being developed in a majority owned joint venture with a Washington D.C. based developer.
 
(6)   This project represents the condominium portion of a mixed-use development being developed in an entity owned with other third-party developers. This condominium portion of the project is co-owned with an Atlanta-based condominium development partner. The Company’s proportionate share of the investment in this project is currently expected to be approximately $47.6 million, of which approximately $5.3 million has been incurred as of June 30, 2007.
Inflation
Substantially all of the leases at the communities allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable the Company to seek increases in rents. The substantial majority of these leases are for one year or less and the remaining leases are for up to two years. At the expiration of a lease term, the Company’s lease agreements generally provide that the term will be extended unless either the Company or the lessee gives at least sixty (60) days written notice of termination. In addition, the Company’s policy generally permits the earlier termination of a lease by a lessee upon thirty (30) days written notice to the Company and the payment of an amount equal to two month’s rent as compensation for early termination. The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effect of inflation.
Funds from Operations
The Company uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of funds from operations (“FFO”). FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income available to common shareholders determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable operating property, plus depreciation of real estate

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(In thousands, except per share and apartment unit data)
assets, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. FFO presented herein 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.
The Company also uses FFO as an operating measure. 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 “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, management 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 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 the Company’s consolidated statement of operations entitled “net income available to common shareholders” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance. While management believes that FFO is an important supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, management believes it is also important to stress that FFO should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity. Further, FFO is not necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs or ability to service indebtedness or make distributions.
A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders and unitholders to FFO is provided below.

For development projects, gains on condominium sales in FFO are equivalent to gains reported under GAAP.
 
(3)   For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, FFO includes gains on land sales of $1,740 and $3,938, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, FFO included non-cash income of $233 and $1,655 relating to the market to market of an interest rate swap agreement.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk. At June 30, 2007, the Company had $136,881 of variable rate debt tied to LIBOR. In addition, the Company had $9,895 of variable tax-exempt debt with interest based on the FNMA “AAA” tax-exempt rate. In addition, the Company has interest rate risk associated with fixed rate debt at maturity. The discussion in this section is the same for the Company and the Operating Partnership, except that all indebtedness described herein has been incurred by the Operating Partnership.
Management has and will continue to manage interest rate risk as follows:
  maintain a conservative ratio of fixed rate, long-term debt to total debt such that variable rate exposure is kept at an acceptable level;
  fix certain long-term variable rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps or interest rate caps with appropriately matching maturities;
  use treasury locks where appropriate to fix rates on anticipated debt transactions; and
  take advantage of favorable market conditions for long-term debt and/or equity.
Management uses various financial models and advisors to achieve these objectives.
The table below provides information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For interest rate swap and cap arrangements, the table presents notional amounts and weighted average interest rates by (expected) contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.
                                         
                            Expected        
            Average     Average     Settlement        
Interest Rate Derivatives   Notional Amount     Pay Rate/Cap Rate     Receive Rate     Date     Fair Value  
                                    Asset (Liab.)  
Interest Rate Swap Variable to fixed
  $95,600 amortizing
to $90,270
      5.21 %   1 month LIBOR     7/31/09     $ (27 )
Interest rate caps
  $ 28,495       5.00 %           2/01/08        
 
                                     
 
                                  $ (27 )
 
                                     
As more fully described in note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the interest rate swap and cap arrangements are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at the fair value shown above in accordance with SFAS No. 133, as amended. If interest rates under the Company’s floating rate LIBOR-based and tax-exempt borrowings, in excess of the $95,600 FNMA borrowings effectively converted to fixed rates discussed above, fluctuated by 1.0%, interest costs to the Company, based on outstanding borrowings at June 30, 2007, would increase or decrease by approximately $512 on an annualized basis.
In December 2006, the Company repaid $18,600 of tax-exempt indebtedness associated with the sale of an apartment community. The portion of the interest rate cap arrangement with a notional amount of $18,600 was not terminated and as a result became ineffective for accounting purposes. The change in value of the ineffective portion of the interest rate cap arrangement was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and the Company does not expect future changes in the fair value of this arrangement to be material to its consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As required by Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer. Based on this evaluation, these officers have concluded that the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) are the Company’s controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
There were no changes to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In November 2006, the Equal Rights Center (“ERC”) filed a lawsuit against the Company and the Operating Partnership in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by the Company and the Operating Partnership in the District of Columbia, Virginia, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New York, North Carolina and Texas. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that includes retrofitting multi-family units and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes. On April 18, 2007, ERC filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to prohibit the Company and the Operating Partnership from selling any noncompliant apartment communities or condominium units while the litigation is ongoing. On July 25, 2007 the court entered an order denying ERC’s motion for the preliminary injunction. At this stage in the proceeding, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss that would be associated with an adverse decision.
The Company is involved in various other legal proceedings incidental to its business from time to time, most of which are expected to be covered by liability or other insurance. Management of the Company believes that any resolution of pending proceedings or liability to the Company which may arise as a result of these various other legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
