ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is a
Memphis, Tennessee-based self-administered and self-managed umbrella
partnership real estate investment trust, ("REIT") ("UPREIT") which
owns and operates 115 apartment communities containing 30,912
apartment units in 13 states (the "Communities"), has 2,660
apartment units under construction in 7 new communities and 5
additions to existing communities, and a further 804 apartment units
in various stages of development. The Company has entered into
definitive agreements to acquire three additional apartment
communities containing 624 apartment units, of which negotiations
are still in progress.
Founded in 1977 by George E. Cates, the Company's Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, the Company's
predecessor grew from an operator of a single 252-unit apartment
community in Memphis, Tennessee into a fully-integrated owner and
operator of 5,580 apartment units in 22 apartment communities in
four southeastern states immediately prior to the Company's initial
public offering in February 1994 (the "Initial Offering"). Since the
Initial Offering, the Company's portfolio has increased by 93
apartment communities containing 25,332 apartment units, including
1) 12 apartment communities containing 3,212 apartment units
acquired in the Company's merger with America First REIT, Inc.
("AFR") in June 1995 (the "AFR Merger") for an aggregate value of
approximately $111 million (as measured by Common Stock issued and
AFR debt assumed) and 2) 30 apartment communities containing 7,691
apartments acquired in the company's merger with Flournoy
Development Company and related partnerships ("FDC") on November 25,
1997 (the "FDC Merger") for an aggregate value of $423 million. The
FDC Merger resulted in the establishment of Flournoy Service
Corporation ("FSC"), the name of which was later changed to Flournoy
Development Corporation, of which the Company owns 100% of the non-
voting common stock, specifically to own and operate the third-party
construction, brokerage and management activities formerly conducted
by FDC. At least 95% of the after tax cash flow after intercompany
interest expense of this subsidiary is distributed to Mid-America
Apartments, L.P., a Tennessee limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership") through its ownership of the non-voting common stock
in FSC, with the 5% balance to the owners of FSC's common stock,
consisting of Mr. Cates and John F. Flournoy, the Vice-Chairman of
the Company. FSC did not make a distribution to Messrs. Cates and
Flournoy in 1997 and does not currently anticipate a distribution in
1998. The operations of FSC include the management of 43 properties
with 4,971 apartment units owned by third party investors, and the
development and construction of properties for third parties. The
Company believes that this structure is permitted under the terms of
the Internal Revenue Code and also provides the most economic
benefit to its shareholders.
The Company's business is conducted principally through the
Operating Partnership. The Company is the sole general partner of
the Operating Partnership, holding, as of December 31, 1997, 181,844
Common Units or a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership. The Company's wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary,
MAC II of Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a limited
partner in the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 1997,
held 15,736,248 Common Units, or 81.1% of all outstanding Common
Units.
In connection with the formation of the Operating Partnership and
the Initial Offering, the Operating Partnership issued 2,460,413
Common Units to the former owners of Communities contributed to the
Operating Partnership. The Common Units held by such former owners
are redeemable by the holders, at their option, for shares of Common
Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Company's option, for cash.
The Company has filed a shelf registration statement relating to the
offer and sale of the Common Units by the holders thereof. As of
December 31, 1997, such former owners held 2,384,097 Common Units.
In subsequent transactions and acquisitions of properties, including
in the FDC Merger, an additional 553,205 Common Units have been
issued, resulting in a total of 2,937,302 Common Units being owned
by outside investors.
Certain Communities are owned by limited partnerships of which the
Operating Partnership and the Company or a wholly owned qualified
REIT subsidiary are the only partners. The Company, directly or
through seven wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiaries, owns 19
Communities. The Company also has established Mid-America Capital
Partners, L.P., a single-purpose entity formed in 1997 to own 26
apartment communities containing 5,947 apartment units, of which the
Operating Partnership owns a 99% limited partnership interest and
the Company, through a subsidiary, owns a 1% General Partnership
interest
OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
MID-SIZE MARKET FOCUS. The Company focuses on owning, operating,
developing, constructing and acquiring apartment communities in mid-
size southeastern and Texas cities. The Company believes that these
markets generally have been less susceptible to apartment
overbuilding during past real estate investment cycles, and the
Company believes that apartment communities in these markets offer
attractive long-term investment returns. The Company seeks to
develop and acquire apartment communities in its existing markets
and selected new markets where it believes there is less competition
for acquisitions or new construction from other well-capitalized
buyers. The Company believes it can acquire apartment units at a
significant discount to estimated replacement cost in these markets
and through its experience construct and develop apartments at a
reasonable investment cost to generate higher returns on investment
than is available in large metropolitan areas.
INTENSIVE MANAGEMENT FOCUS. The Company strongly emphasizes on-site
property management. Particular attention is paid to opportunities
to increase rents, raise average occupancy rates, and control costs,
with property managers being given the responsibility for monitoring
market trends and the discretion to react to such trends.
DEDICATION TO CUSTOMER SERVICE. Management's experience is that
maintaining a consistently high level of customer satisfaction leads
to greater demand for the Company's apartment units, higher
occupancy and rental rates, and increased long-term profitability.
The Company, as part of its intense management focus, has
implemented a practice of having highly trained property managers
and service technicians on-site at each of the Communities.
Management undertakes frequent resident surveys and focus groups, in
order to measure customer satisfaction.
DECENTRALIZED OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE. The Company's operational
structure is organized on a geographic basis. The Company's property
managers have overall operating responsibility for their specific
Communities. Property managers report to area managers or regional
managers who, in turn, are accountable to the Company's President.
Management believes that its decentralized operating structure
capitalizes on specific market knowledge, increases personal
accountability relative to a centralized structure and is beneficial
in the acquisition, redevelopment and development process.
GROWTH STRATEGIES
The Company seeks to increase earnings per share and operating cash
flow to maximize shareholder value through a balanced strategy of
internal and external growth.
INTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY. Management's goal is to maximize its
return on investment in each Community by increasing rental rates
and reducing operating expenses while maintaining high occupancy
levels. The Company (i) seeks higher net rental revenues by
enhancing and maintaining the competitiveness of the Communities and
(ii) manages expenses through its system of detailed management
reporting and accountability in order to achieve increases in
operating cash flow. The steps taken to meet these objectives
include:
* empowering the Company's property managers to adjust rents in
response to local market conditions and to concentrate resident turnover
in peak rental demand months;
* implementing programs to control expenses through investment in cost-
saving initiatives, such as the installation of individual apartment
unit water and utility meters in certain Communities;
* ensuring that, through monthly inspections of all Communities by
senior management and prompt attention to maintenance and recurring
capital needs, the Communities are properly maintained;
* improving the "curb appeal" of the Communities through extensive
landscaping and exterior improvements and repositioning Communities from
time to time to maintain market leadership positions;
* investing heavily in training programs for its property-level
personnel;
* compensating all employees through performance-based compensation
programs and stock ownership programs; and
* maintaining a hands-on management style and "flat" organizational
structure that emphasizes senior management's continued close contact
with the market and employees.
EXTERNAL GROWTH STRATEGY. The Company's external growth strategy is
to acquire and develop additional apartment units and, when
apartment communities no longer meet the Company's long-term
strategic objectives or investment return goals, to dispose of those
Communities. Through the Company's umbrella partnership REIT
("UPREIT") structure, the Company has the ability to acquire
apartment communities through the issuance of UPREIT Units in tax-
deferred exchanges with owners of such properties. Since the Initial
Offering, the Company has grown by 25,332 apartment units, an
increase of approximately 454% over the number of apartment units
immediately prior to the Initial Offering. Typical attributes of
apartment communities which the Company seeks to acquire are:
* well-constructed properties having attractive locations, potential
for increases in rental rates and occupancy, potential for reductions in
operating costs and acquisition prices below estimated replacement cost;
* properties with opportunities for internal growth through (i) market
repositioning by means of property upgrades which typically include
landscaping, selective refurbishing and the addition of amenities and
(ii) realizing economies of scale in management and purchasing; and
* properties located in the Company's existing markets and mid-size
southeastern and Texas metropolitan areas having favorable market
characteristics.
The Company develops new apartments when it believes it can achieve
an attractive return on investment substantially above the rate of
return of acquisitions. In November the Company acquired, through
the FDC Merger, Flournoy Development Company, a builder and
developer of multifamily apartments with 30 years of experience
owning, managing, developing and building apartments. As a result of
this merger, the Company has significantly expanded its commitment
to new development. The Company has established higher investment
return criteria for new development than it maintains for
acquisitions and generally expects that its new development program
will generate higher stabilized returns on investment than most
acquisition opportunities. Since the Initial Offering, the Company
has completed the following development projects:
* 122 apartment units constructed at the Woods of Post House in
Jackson, Tennessee in close proximity to three other Communities;
* 24 additional apartment units at the Reflection Pointe apartment
community in Jackson, Mississippi; and
* 32 additional apartment units at the Park Haywood apartment
community in Greenville, South Carolina.
In 1997, the Company substantially completed construction of a 234-
unit expansion of the 384-unit Lincoln on the Green apartment
community at the Tournament Players' Club at Southwind in Memphis,
Tennessee. The development of expansion for Lincoln on the Green
was managed successfully and began by Flournoy Development Company
prior to the merger with the Company. The Company currently has a
development pipeline of 3,466 apartments that are in various stages
of construction and development, of which 1,690 are anticipated to
be completed in 1998. It is likely that additional opportunities
will be identified for development in late 1998 and 1999.
COMPLETED ACQUISITIONS. During 1997, the Company acquired the
following apartment communities (the "Completed Acquisitions")
containing an aggregate of 3,314 apartment units (dollars in
millions):

(1) Excluding additional customary closing costs, including expenses and
commissions.
COMPETITION
All of the Company's Communities are located in developed areas that
include other apartment communities. Occupancy and rental rates are
affected by the number of competitive apartment communities in a
particular area. The Company's properties compete with numerous
other multifamily properties, the owners of which may have greater
resources than the Company and whose management may have more
experience than the Company's management. Moreover, single-family
rental housing, manufactured housing, condominiums and the new and
existing home market provide housing alternatives to potential
residents of apartment communities.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
RECENT ACQUISITIONS
Since December 31, 1997, the Company has acquired the following

======== ========
The Company funded the cash required to consummate the Recent
Acquisitions with borrowings under the Company's bank line of
credit.
PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
The Company has entered into definitive agreements to purchase the
200-unit Eagle Ridge apartments in Birmingham, Alabama, the 204-
unit Village Apartments at Carrollwood in Tampa, Florida and the
220-unit Georgetown Grove Apartments in Savannah, Georgia. The
Company plans to fund the cash required to consummate the Proposed
Acquisitions with issuance of Umbrella Partnership units, borrowings
under the Credit Line and assumption of existing mortgages. There
are remaining issues to negotiate on these contracts and there can
be no assurance that these acquisitions will close.
DEVELOPMENT
The Company's Board of Directors has approved the development of
three apartment communities totaling 702 units located in
Montgomery, Alabama, Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and Panama City,
Florida; the Board has also approved the development of a 124-unit
addition to the Company's St Augustine property in Jacksonville, Florida.
The total estimated cost of these projects is $50.5 million to be
invested in 1998 and 1999.
The Company has a total of 1,762 apartments in pre-development or in-
depth feasibility review. If all these are developed, together with
the 1,070 apartments under construction and the 634 apartments under
construction and lease-up, the total planned investment in new
development in 1998 is $118 million, with an additional $70 million
to complete the projects in 1999. The Company has several additional
projects in earlier stages of feasibility study, and it anticipates
that the additional apartment communities will be approved for
development later in 1998 which will require additional funding in
1999.
DISTRIBUTION INCREASE
In January 1998, the Company raised its quarterly distribution to
common shareholders from $.535 per share to $.55 per share,
effective with its distribution paid on January 30, 1998.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company seeks to acquire and develop apartment communities
appealing to middle and upper income residents in mid-size cities in
the southeastern United States and Texas. Approximately 71% of the
Company's apartment units are located in Georgia, Florida,
Tennessee, and Texas markets. The Company's strategic focus is to
provide its residents high quality apartment units in attractive
community settings, characterized by extensive landscaping and
attention to aesthetic detail. The Company utilizes its experience
and expertise in maintenance, landscaping, marketing and management
to effectively "reposition" many of the apartment communities it
acquires to raise occupancy levels and per unit average rentals. The
average age of the Communities at December 31, 1997 was 12.2 years.
The following table sets forth certain operating data regarding the
Company for the periods indicated excluding development communities.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The Common Stock has been listed and traded on the NYSE under the
symbol "MAA" since the Initial Offering in February 1994. On March
13, 1998, the reported last sale price of the Company's common stock
on the NYSE was $28.13 per share and there were approximately 1,640
holders of record of the Common Stock. The Company estimates there
are approximately 16,000 beneficial owners of the Common Stock. The
following table sets forth the quarterly high and low sales prices
of the Common Stock as reported on the NYSE and the distributions
declared by the Company with respect to the periods indicated.
Sales Prices
---------------- Dividends
High Low Declared
--------- --------- ---------
1996:
-----
First Quarter $ 26.875 $ 24.00 $ .51
Second Quarter 26.625 25.00 .51
Third Quarter 25.875 23.75 .51

Third Quarter 30.500 26.625 .535
Fourth Quarter 30.063 26.625 .55
The Company's current annual distribution rate with respect to the
Common Stock is $2.20 per share. The actual distributions made by
the Company will be affected by a number of factors, including the
gross revenues received from the Communities, the operating expenses
of the Company, the interest expense incurred on borrowings and
unanticipated capital expenditures.
The Company pays a preferential regular monthly distribution on the
Series A Preferred Stock issued in October 1996 and the Series B
Preferred Stock issued in November 1997 at an annual rate of $2.375
per share and $2.21875 per share, respectively. No distribution may
be made on the Common Stock unless all accrued distributions have
been made with respect to the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock.
No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to maintain
its distribution rate on its Common Stock or make required
distributions with respect to the Series A or Series B Preferred
Stock.
In 1997, the Company implemented the DRSPP under which holders of
Common Stock (and Series A and Series B Preferred Stock) may elect
automatically to reinvest their distributions in additional shares
of Common Stock and/or to make optional purchases of Common Stock
free of brokerage commissions and charges. Shares purchased directly
from the Company will be purchased at up to a 3% discount from their
fair market value at the Company's discretion. To fulfill its
obligations under the DRSPP, the Company may either issue additional
shares of Common Stock or repurchase Common Stock in the open
market.
Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the
Board of Directors and will depend on the actual funds available
for distribution of the Company, its financial condition, capital
requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT
provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board of
Directors deems relevant.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations of the Company for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995. This discussion should be
read in conjunction with all of the financial statements included in
this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These financial statements include
all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods
presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS
Funds from operations ("FFO") represents net income (computed in
accordance with GAAP) excluding extraordinary items, minority
interest in Operating Partnership income, gain or loss on
disposition of real estate assets, and certain non-cash items,
primarily depreciation and amortization, less preferred stock
dividends. The Company computes FFO in accordance with NAREIT's
current definition, which eliminates amortization of deferred
financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets as items
added back to net income when computing FFO. The Company adopted
this method of calculating FFO effective as of the NAREIT-suggested
adoption date of January 1, 1996. FFO should not be considered as an
alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of
performance, as an indicator of operating performance or as an
alternative to cash flows from operating, investing, and financing
activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company believes that FFO
is helpful in understanding the Company's results of operations in
that such calculation reflects cash flow from operating activities
and the Company's ability to support interest payments and general
operating expenses before the impact of certain activities such as
changes in other assets and accounts payable. The Company's
calculation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating
FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable
to such other REITs.
For the year ended December 31, 1997, FFO increased by
approximately $8,102,000 or 22%, when compared to the year ended
December 31, 1996. The increase was primarily attributable to an
approximate $27,233,000 increase in revenues, which was partially
offset by increases in expenses mainly associated with the increase
in the number of apartment units owned by the Company. On a per
share basis, FFO increased approximately 3% from $2.66 per share for
the year ended December 31, 1996 to $2.73 per share for the same
period in 1997.
For the year ended December 31, 1996, FFO increased by
approximately $6,809,000 or 23.7%, when compared to the year earlier
(adjusted only for the new NAREIT definition of FFO). The increase
was primarily attributable to an approximate $16,919,000 increase in
revenues, which was partially offset by increases in expenses mainly
associated with the increase in the number of apartment units owned
by the Company. On a per share basis, FFO increased 8.6% from $2.44
per share (restated for the effect of adoption of the current NAREIT
FFO definition and the change in accounting policy) for the year
ended December 31, 1995 to $2.65 per share for the same period in
1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1996
During the 1997 period, the Company acquired 12 communities
containing 3,314 apartment units. In addition, through the November
25, 1997 merger with Flournoy Development Company ("FDC"), the
Company acquired 32 communities containing 8,641 apartment units
including 950 apartment units under development. The total number of
apartment units owned at December 31, 1997 was 30,468 in 115
apartment communities, compared to 19,280 in 73 communities at
December 31, 1996. Average monthly rental per apartment unit
increased to $549 at December 31, 1997 from $529 at December 31,
1996 for the Company's properties owned prior to the merger. For the
communities owned prior to the merger, average occupancy for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 was 94.5% and 95.4%,
respectively. For the properties acquired through the FDC Merger,
average monthly rental per apartment unit was $613 and average
occupancy was 92.2% at December 31, 1997.
Total revenues for 1997 increased by approximately $27,234,000, due
primarily to (i) approximately $12,743,000 from the 12 Communities
acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $5,342,000 from the 30
completed Communities acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii)
approximately $6,759,000 from a full years operation of the six
Communities acquired in 1996, (iii) approximately $2,113,000 from
the Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv)
approximately $277,000 from The Woods at Post House in Jackson,
Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995 and
Lincoln on the Green phase II in Memphis, Tennessee which completed
development early 1998.
Property operating expenses for 1997 increased by approximately
$9,834,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $4,929,000 from the
12 Communities acquired in 1997, (ii) approximately $1,938,000 from
the 30 completed Communities acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii)
approximately $2,298,000 from a full years operation of the six
Communities acquired in 1996, (iii) approximately $583,000 from the
Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv) approximately
$86,000 from The Woods at Post House which completed development in
the Fall of 1995 and Lincoln on the Green phase II. Utility costs
decreased from 5.5% of revenue to 4.6% of revenue for the year ended
December 31, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier, due
primarily to over 13,000 units now submetered for water usage and
continued benefits from the 1996 completion of the individual
apartment unit electricity metering at Sailwinds at Lake Magdalene.
General and administrative expense increased $448,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996 and decreased
from 5.5% of revenue to 4.8% of revenue for the year ended December
31, 1997 compared to the same period a year earlier. The reductions
result from $122,000 transfer of landscape overhead to property
costs, $156,000 reduced state and local taxes and increased
operating efficiencies of a larger operation.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to (i)
approximately $2,503,000 from the 12 Communities acquired in 1997,
(ii) approximately $1,247,000 from the 30 completed Communities
acquired through the FDC Merger, (iii) approximately $1,493,000
from a full years operation of the six Communities acquired in 1996,
(iii) approximately $1,224,000 from additional capital expenditures
on Communities owned throughout both periods, and (iv)
approximately $54,000 from The Woods at Post House and Lincoln on
the Green phase II. Amortization of deferred financing costs and
unamortized costs in excess of fair value of net assets acquired for
1997 were approximately $888,000 and approximately $309,000,
respectively.
Interest expense increased approximately $3,177,000 during 1997 due
primarily to apartment acquisitions. The Company reduced its average
borrowing cost to 7.41% at December 31, 1997 as compared to 7.92% on
December 31, 1996. The average maturity on the Company's debt was
10.2 and 9.9 years at December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In
1997, the Company recorded an approximate $8,622,000 loss on early
extinguishment of debt, net of minority interest, primarily from the
repayment of certain debt in connection with the FDC Merger.
Income before minority interest for the year ended December 31, 1997
increased approximately $5,069,000 over the same period a year
earlier.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 TO THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1995
During the 1996 period, the Company acquired six apartment
communities and sold three apartment communities. The total number
of apartment units owned at December 31, 1996 was 19,280 in 73
apartment communities, compared to 18,219 in 70 communities at
December 31, 1995. Average monthly rental per apartment unit
increased to $529 at December 31, 1996 from $508 at December 30,
1995. Average occupancy for the years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 was 95.4% and 95.2%, respectively.
Total revenues for 1996 increased by approximately $16,919,000, due
primarily to (i) approximately $4,833,000 from the six Communities
acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $7,156,000 from a full years
operation of the 15 Communities acquired in 1995, including the
Communities acquired in the AFR Merger, (iii) approximately
$4,363,000 from the Communities owned throughout both periods, and
(iv) approximately $567,000 from The Woods at Post House in
Jackson, Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995.
Property operating expenses for 1996 increased by approximately
$4,616,000, due primarily to (i) approximately $1,686,000 from the
six Communities acquired in 1996, (ii) approximately $2,746,000
from a full year's operations of the 15 Communities acquired in
1995, including the Communities acquired in the AFR Merger, and
(iii) approximately $234,000 from The Woods at Post House. These
increases were offset by a decrease of approximately $51,000 from
the Communities owned throughout both periods. Repair and
maintenance expense decreased primarily due to the Company's change
in the capitalization policy to conform with policies currently used
by the majority of the largest apartment REITs. Utility costs
decreased from 6.1% of revenue to 5.5% of revenue for the year ended
December 31, 1996 compared to the same period a year earlier, due
primarily to the installation of 6,400 individual apartment unit
water meters and the completion of the individual apartment unit
electricity metering at Sailwinds at Lake Magdalene.
General and administrative expense increased in 1996 approximately
$1,303,000 primarily due to the opening of the new training center
and other expenses due to the continued growth of the company.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to (i)
approximately $893,000 from the six apartment communities acquired
in 1996, (ii) approximately $1,346,000 from the 15 apartment
communities acquired in 1995, including the Communities acquired in
the AFR Merger, (iii) approximately $2,187,000 from additional
capital expenditures on Communities owned throughout both periods,
and (iv) approximately $443,000 from The Woods at Post House in
Jackson, Tennessee which completed development in the Fall of 1995.
Amortization of deferred financing costs and unamortized costs in
excess of fair value of net assets acquired for 1996 were
approximately $661,000 and approximately $192,000, respectively.
Interest expense increased approximately $3,082,000 during 1996 due
primarily to apartment acquisitions. The Company reduced the average
borrowing cost to 7.92% at December 31, 1996 as compared to 8.15% on
December 31, 1995. The average maturity on the Company's debt was
9.9 years at both December 31, 1996 and 1995.
In 1996, the Company recorded an approximate $2,185,000 gain for the
disposition of three apartment communities. The dispositions were
structured as tax-deferred exchanges for federal tax purposes. As a
result of the foregoing, income before minority interest for the
year ended December 31, 1996 increased approximately $5,166,000 over
the same period a year earlier.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities increased from
approximately $38,018,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to
approximately $44,797,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The
increase in net cash flow was primarily due to an increase in
depreciation and amortization less an extraordinary loss recorded
due to the early extinguishment of certain debt.
Net cash used in investing activities increased from approximately
$70,436,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately
$138,263,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997. The increase was
primarily due to the acquisition of 3,314 apartment units in 1997
for approximately $76,287,000 as compared to the acquisition of
1,760 apartment units in 1996 for approximately $66,258,000. This
increase in net cash flow used in investing activities was partially
offset by the sale of three apartment communities in 1996 for
approximately $17,096,000. Capital improvements to existing
properties totaled approximately $20,205,000 for the year ended
December 31, 1997, compared to approximately $18,437,000 for the
same period in 1996. Of the $20,205,000 capital improvements
approximately $7,743,000 was for recurring capital expenditures,
including carpet and appliances, approximately $6,112,000 was for
revenue enhancing projects, approximately $5,557,000 was for
acquisition capital with the remaining balance for other
miscellaneous expenditures, including corporate. Recurring capital
expenditures averaged $0.47 per share in 1997. Construction in
progress for new apartment units increased from approximately
$2,837,000 for the year ended December 31, 1996 to approximately
$16,093,000 for the comparable period in 1997, due primarily to the
completion of the 234-unit development at Lincoln on the Green in
Memphis, Tennessee which began leasing during 1997 and other
developments including $1,685,000 for the 254-unit Reserve at Dexter
Lake, $1,273,000 for the 288-unit Mandarin, $879,000 for the 154-
unit phase II addition for Whisperwood Spa and $789,000 for the 316-
unit Terraces at Fieldstone.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased from
approximately $33,425,000 during the year ended December 31, 1996 to
approximately $104,218,000 for the year ended December 31, 1997.
During 1997, approximately $202,320,000 was provided by borrowings
under the Credit Line and notes payable and approximately
$46,635,000 was provided from the issuance of preferred shares. The
principal uses of the cash included approximately $30,021,000 for
the repayment of notes payable and approximately $39,771,000 for
dividends and distributions.
At December 31, 1997, the Company had approximately $45,225,000
outstanding on the Credit Line. At December 31, 1997, the Company
had approximately $63,200,000 (including the Credit Line) of
floating rate debt at an average interest rate of 6.5%; all other
debt was fixed rate term debt at an average interest rate of 7.8%.
The weighted average interest rate and weighted average maturity at
December 31, 1997 for the approximately $632,213,000 of notes
payable were 7.4% and 10.2 years, respectively. The Company used the
approximately $46,635,000 of net proceeds from the Preferred Stock
Offering, which closed in November, for the acquisitions of the 192-
unit Sterling Ridge apartment community in Augusta, Georgia and the
184-unit Colony at South Park apartment community in Aiken, South
Carolina and used the balance to reduce the amount outstanding on
the Credit Line. In November 1997, the Company increased its credit
limit under the Credit Line from $90,000,000 to $110,000,000 and in
March 1998 increased the credit limit to $200,000,000. The Company
expects to use the Credit Line for future acquisitions, development,
and to provide letters of credit as credit enhancements for tax-
exempt bonds. In March 1997 the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of
Common Stock in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds
from such offering were approximately $62.5 million, all of which
were contributed to the Operating Partnership and utilized to repay
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Line. The Credit Line is
secured and is subject to borrowing base calculations that
effectively reduce the maximum amount that may be borrowed under the
Credit Line to approximately $44,300,000 as of the date of this
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company believes that cash provided by operations is adequate
and anticipates that it will continue to be adequate in both the
short and long-term to meet operating requirements (including
recurring capital expenditures at the Communities) and payment of
distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements
under the Code.
During 1997, capital expenditures were approximately $20,205,000
for property improvements and $16,093,000 for the
development of new units. For 1998, the Company plans
approximately $27,000,000 for property improvements and
$120,000,000 for development of new units. The Company expects to
meet its long term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled
mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, expansions and non-
recurring capital expenditures, through long and medium-term
collateralized and uncollateralized fixed rate borrowings, issuance
of debt or additional equity securities in the Company and the
Credit Line.
INSURANCE
In the opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is in
place which provides adequate coverage to provide financial
protection against normal insurable risks such that it believes that
any loss experienced would not have a significant impact on the
Company's liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.
INFLATION
Substantially all of the resident 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 rent increases.
The substantial majority of these leases are for one year or less.
The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the
risk to the Company of the adverse effects of inflation.
YEAR 2000
The Company is aware of the issues associated with the programming
code in existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000)
approaches. The "Year 2000" issue is pervasive and complex as
virtually every computer operation will be affected in some way by
the rollover of the two digit year value to 00. The issue is
whether computer systems will properly recognize date sensitive
information when the year changes to 2000. Systems that do not
properly recognize such information could generate erroneous data or
cause a system to fail.
The Company is utilizing both internal and external resources to
identify, correct or reprogram, and test the systems for the Year
2000 compliance. During 1997, the Company developed a plan to deal
with the Year 2000 issue. Management has conducted a comprehensive
review of the Company's computer systems to identify the systems
that could be affected by the Year 2000 issue and has developed an
implementation plan to resolve potential issues. The Company has
reviewed our core mainframe systems and application subsystems and
have obtained the Year 2000 compliant releases and are developing
the installation and testing plan for each of these applications.
The Company has corresponded with our third party service providers
and other providers of software and hardware for certification of
their compliance with Year 2000 issues. It is anticipated that all
reprogramming efforts will be completed by December 31, 1998,
allowing adequate time for testing. Management has assessed the
Year 2000 compliance expense and believe that the related potential
effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations should be immaterial. The Company is expensing all costs
associated with the Year 2000 as the costs are incurred.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors
created thereby. These statements include the plans and objectives
of management for future operations, including plans and objectives
relating to capital expenditures and rehabilitation costs on the
apartment communities. Although the Company believes that the
assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and,
therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking
statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K will prove to
be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in
the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of
such information should not be regarded as a representation by the
Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the
Company will be achieved.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On July 23, 1997, the Company acquired its corporate headquarters for
$2,912,000. In connection with the acquisition, the Company formed a
special committee of its external directors to negotiate the transaction
on its behalf because certain executive officers of the Company were also
partners in the partnership which owned the building. The consideration
consisted of approximately $862,000 cash, 22,246 Operating Partnership
Units valued at $634,000 ($28.50 per unit) and the assumption of an
existing loan. Certain executive officers of the Company were partners
in the partnership who owned the building and received 5,831 units of
common shares connected with the exchange.
All transactions involving related parties must be approved by a majority
of the disinterested members of the Company's Board of Directors. The
Company has, and expects to have, transactions in the ordinary course of
its business with directors and officers of the Company and their
affiliates, including members of their families or corporations,
partnerships or other organizations in which such officers or directors
have a controlling interest, on substantially the same terms (including
price, or interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with unrelated parties.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mid-
America Apartment Communities, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and the related consolidated statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in
the three-year period ended December 31, 1997. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the management of the Company. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financials statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects the financial position of the Company at
December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the results of the Company's operations
and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its accounting method to capitalize replacement
purchases for major appliances and carpet in 1996.

Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Formation of the Company
Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-
administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust which owns,
develops, acquires and operates multifamily apartment communities in the
southeastern United States and Texas. The Company owns and operates 115
apartment communities principally through its majority owned subsidiary,
Mid-America Apartments, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its
subsidiary, Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P. ("MACP"). MACP is a
recently formed special purpose entity established to issue first
mortgage bonds. In addition to owning and operating apartment
communities, the Company conducts third party property management and
construction and development activities through its service corporation,
Flournoy Development Corporation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of the
Company, the Operating Partnership, and other subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation.
Minority Interest
Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements
relates to the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership by the
holders of Class A Common Units of the Operating Partnership. The
Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Net
income is allocated to the Minority Interests based on their respective
ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership as described below.
Issuance of additional Common Shares or Operating Partnership Units
changes the ownership of both the Minority Interests and the Company.
Such transactions and the proceeds therefrom are treated as capital
transactions and result in an allocation between shareholders' equity and
Minority Interests to account for the change in the respective percentage
ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.
The Company's Board established economic rights in respect of each unit
of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership that were
equivalent to the economic rights in respect of each share of common
stock. Each unit is redeemable at the option of the holder thereof in
exchange for one share of common stock. The Operating Partnership has
followed the policy of paying the same per unit distribution in respect
of the units as the per share distribution in respect of the common
stock. Prior to 1997, the Operating Partnership agreement provided for
the allocation of additional net income to the holders of Class A units
that would otherwise be the net income of the Company or another entity.
Effective January 1, 1997 the Operating Partnership agreement was amended
to eliminate the additional allocation of income to the unitholders.
Operating Partnership net income for 1997 was allocated approximately
17.9% to holders of Class A Common Units and 82.1% to the Company.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions
relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure
of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company leases residential apartments under operating leases with
terms of one year or less. Rental and other revenues are recorded when
earned.
In addition to leasing the owned Communities, the Company provides
property management services for affiliated Section 42 Housing Tax Credit
multifamily properties ("Section 42") and conventional properties.
Property management revenue is recorded on the accrual method of
accounting as earned.
The Company receives development and construction fees related to the
development of the affiliated Section 42 properties. Development and
construction income is recognized as earned as the property is developed
and certain operating and financing performance conditions are met.
Development income is not recognized to the extent that requirements
exist to invest a portion of such development fees in the partnership
entities from which the fees are earned.
Construction contract revenues, which are presented net of construction
contract costs in the accompanying statements of operations, are
recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method,
the percentage of contract revenue to be recognized currently is computed
based upon that percentage of estimated total revenue that incurred costs
to date bear to total estimated costs, after giving effect to the most
recent estimates of costs to complete. Revisions in cost and revenue
estimates are reflected in the period in which the facts, which require
the revision, become known. When revised cost estimates indicate a loss
on an individual contract, the total estimated loss is provided for
currently in its entirety without regard to the percentage of completion.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash, investments in money market accounts and
certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for property
taxes, insurance, debt service and replacement reserves.
Real Estate Assets and Depreciation
Real estate assets are carried at the lower of depreciated cost or net
realizable value. Interest, property taxes, and other development costs
incurred during construction is capitalized until completion. Interest of
$388,000 and $91,000 was capitalized in 1997 and 1996, respectively.
Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant
improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized. The cost of
interior painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds are expensed as incurred.
In conjunction with acquisitions of properties, the Company's policy is
to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to complete any
deferred maintenance items to bring the properties to the required
standard, including the cost of replacement appliances, carpet, interior
painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds. These costs are capitalized.
Following a review of its capital expenditure and depreciation policy,
effective January 1, 1996, the Company implemented a new policy of which
the primary changes were (i) to increase minimum dollar amounts to
capitalize from $500 to $1,000; (ii) for stabilized properties
(generally, properties owned and operated by the Company for at least one
year), to capitalize replacement purchases for major appliances and
carpeting of an entire apartment unit which was previously expensed; and
(iii) to reduce the depreciation life of certain assets from 20 years to
10 to 15 years.
The Company believes that the newly adopted accounting policy is
preferable because it is consistent with policies currently being used by
the majority of the largest apartment REITs and provides a better
matching of expenses with the estimated benefit period. The Company's
1995 financial statements were not restated for the effect of the change
in accounting policy. The policy has been implemented prospectively
effective January 1, 1996. The effect of the change in depreciable lives
was not material to consolidated net income of the Company.
Depreciation is computed on a straight line basis over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets which range from 8 to 40 years for
land improvements and buildings and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and
equipment. Depreciation expense includes $195,000, $155,000 and $104,000
in 1997, 1996 and 1995 which relates to computer software, office
furniture and fixtures and other assets found in other industries and
which is required to be recognized, for purposes of funds from operations
computations, as expenses in the calculation of net income.
The Company periodically evaluates its real estate assets for impairment
based upon undiscounted cash flows and measures impairment based on fair
value. This determination is dependent primarily on the Company's
estimates on occupancy, rent and expense increases, which involves
numerous assumptions and judgments as to future events over a period of
many years. At December 31, 1997 the Company does not hold any assets
which meet the impairment criteria.
Real Estate Held for Development or Sale
Real estate held for development or sale, which consists primarily of
sites intended for future multifamily developments, is stated at the
lower of aggregate cost or fair value. The cost includes the purchase
price of the land, construction, and development costs and fees, as well
as capitalized interest and loan fees.
Deferred Costs and Intangibles
Organization costs are amortized using the straight line method over 60
months. Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the
related debt using a method which approximates the interest method.
Unamortized cost in excess of fair value of net assets acquired is
amortized using the straight line method over a range of 8 to 30 years.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 1997, SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," was issued,
effective for years beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements.
This new accounting statement is not expected to have a material impact
on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The Company will
adopt this accounting standard in 1998.
Also in June 1997, SFAS No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information," was issued, effective for years
beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement requires companies to
identify segments consistent with the manner in which management makes
decisions about allocating resources to segments and measuring their
performance. Disclosures for the newly identified segments are similar
to those required under current standards, with the addition of certain
quarterly disclosure requirements. It also establishes standards for
related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and
major customers. The Company will adopt this accounting standard in
1998.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997
presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on shareholders' equity
or net income available for common shareholders.
2. Business Combinations
On November 25, 1997, the Company completed the merger with Flournoy
Development Company and related entities ("FDC") (the "FDC Merger")
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Total
consideration consisted of $88,271,000, including 1,550,311 shares of
common stock and 412,110 Operating Partnership units in Mid-America
Apartments, L.P., valued at $56,213,000 ($28.6875 per share and unit),
$29,608,000 cash and transaction costs of approximately $2,450,000. The
Company may also issue additional shares of Common Stock (the
"Contingent Value Shares") having a value of up to $7,500,000 if certain
agreed upon conditions are satisfied during calendar years 1998, 1999 and
2000. When and if issued, the Contingent Value Shares will be recorded
as additional purchase consideration based upon the fair value of the
Common Stock at the date of issuance. The operating results of FDC are
included in the accompanying statement of operations commencing November
25, 1997.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the merger
were recorded at their respective fair values as follows:
Fair value of assets acquired,
primarily real estate assets $ 411,397,000
Liabilities assumed 335,326,000
---------------
Net assets acquired $ 76,071,000

The following unaudited summarized pro forma consolidated financial
information has been prepared as if the FDC Merger, various other
insignificant acquisitions ( 13 in 1997 and 6 in 1996) and dispositions
(3 in 1996) of properties during the periods presented and various
financing transaction entered into in connection with the acquisitions
had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented. In
management's opinion, the summarized pro forma consolidated financial
information does not purport to present what actual results would have
been had the above transactions occurred on January 1, 1996, or to
project results for any future period. The amounts presented for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996 are in thousands except for share
amounts (unaudited):

On June 29, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of America First
REIT, Inc. and America First REIT Advisory Company ("AFR") accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. The Company exchanged 2,331,000
shares of its common stock, valued at $57,749,000, for all of the
capital stock of AFR. The operating results of AFR are included in the
accompanying statement of operations commencing July 1, 1995.
The fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed were as
follows:
Fair value of assets acquired,
primarily real estate assets $ 109,999,000
Liabilities assumed 52,250,000
-------------
Net assets acquired $ 57,749,000
=============
3. Borrowings
During 1997, the Company entered into a new $110 million line of credit
agreement (the "Credit Line") which expires in November 1999. The Credit
Line is secured by certain of the properties, bears interest at LIBOR
plus 1.25% (7.07% at December 31, 1997), and has various restrictive
financial covenants. At December 31, 1997, $45.2 million was outstanding
under the Credit Line. At December 31, 1996, $30.4 million was
outstanding under a $90 million line of credit, which was replaced by the
Credit Line.
At December 31, 1997 MACP had indebtedness of $140 million to Morgan
Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc. pursuant to a short-term promissory note
(the MSMC Loan). The 26 Communities, with a net book value of $213.6
million at December 31, 1997, owned by MACP are pledged to secure the
MSMC Loan. The MSMC Loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus
1.00% (6.72% at December 31, 1997). The MSMC Loan was repaid subsequent
to December 31, 1997. See note 11.
The Company has approximately $447.0 million and $284.8 million at
December 31, 1997 and 1996 under various mortgage notes payable. These
notes are secured by real estate assets and certain restricted cash
accounts.
As of December 31, 1997, the Company estimated that the weighted average
interest rate on the Company's debt was 7.41% with an average maturity of
10.2 years. These estimates consider the effect of the MSMC Loan
repayment discussed in note 11.
During 1997, the Company extinguished a bond note, resulting in an
extraordinary loss of $771,000. At consummation of the merger with FDC,
the Company repaid certain debt primarily attributable to FDC, resulting
in an extraordinary loss of $7,851,000, net of minority interest.
The following tables summarize the Company's indebtedness at December 31,
1997. The tables are prepared as if the issuance of the commercial
mortgage pass-through certificates and repayment of the MSMC Loan which
occurred in 1998 (see note 11) had occurred at December 31, 1997:

The Company's indebtedness includes various restrictive financial
covenants. The Company believes that it was in compliance with these
covenants as of December 31, 1997.
4. Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments
Cash and cash equivalents, rental receivable, accounts payable and
accrued expenses and other liabilities and security deposits are carried
at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value.
Fixed rate notes payable at December 31, 1997 and 1996 total $569.0
million and $268.0 million, respectively, and reasonably approximates the
estimated fair value (excluding prepayment penalties) based upon interest
rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining
maturities as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. These notes were subject to
prepayment penalties, in the event of repayment prior to maturity. The
carrying value of variable rate notes payable at December 31, 1997 and
1996 total $63.2 million and $47.2 million, respectively, and reasonably
approximates their fair value. Included in these variable rate notes are
certain Multifamily Housing Renewal bonds with rates which are less than
the prime lending rates at December 31, 1997 and 1996. Approximately
$16.6 million in 1997 and $16.8 million in 1996 of these mortgages are
non-taxable and have lower rates than would be expected for taxable notes
with similar terms.
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information
available to management as of December 31, 1997 and 1996. Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect
the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since
that date, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly
from the amounts presented herein.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to
the Company's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against
the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course
of business, some of which is expected to be covered by liability
insurance and none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
The Company incurred lease expense relating to a five year aircraft lease
agreement for the years ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 of
$187,000, $185,400, and $185,400, respectively.
6. Income Taxes
No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. The Company has made an election to
be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") under Sections 856
through 860 of the Code. As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject
to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes 95% of its REIT
taxable income to its shareholders and meets certain other tests relating
to the number of shareholders, types of assets and allocable income. If
the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company
will be subject to the Federal income tax (including any applicable
alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate
rates. Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the
Company may be subject to certain Federal, state and local taxes on its
income and property and to Federal income and excise tax on its
undistributed income.
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to
shareholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting
purposes primarily because of differences in depreciable lives, bases of
certain assets and liabilities and in the timing of recognition of
earnings upon disposition of properties. For federal income tax
purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of cash distributions
paid on the common shares in 1996 and 1995 and the estimated taxability
for 1997:
1997 1996 1995
------ ------ ------
Per common share
Ordinary income $ 1.16 $ 1.50 $ 1.45
Capital gains - .02 -
Return of capital 0.98 .52 .55
----------------------------
Total $ 2.14 $ 2.04 $ 2.00
============================
7. Shareholders' Equity
Series A Preferred Stock
Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred Stock") has a
$25.00 per share liquidation preference and a preferential cummulative
annual distribution of $2.375 per share, payable monthly. The Company
issued 2,000,000 Series A Preferred share in October 1996 and received
net proceeds of $47.8 million.
Series B Preferred Stock
Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") has a
$25.00 per share liquidation preference and a preferential cummulative
annual distribution of $2.21875 per share, payable monthly. In November
1997 the Company issued 1,938,830 Series B shares and received net
proceeds of $46.7 million.
Common Stock Offerings
In March 1997 the Company issued 2,300,000 shares of Common Stock and
received net proceeds of $62.5 million. In October 1997 the Company
issued 3,499,000 shares of Common Stock and received net proceeds of
$98.2 million. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the offerings
to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional Common Units in
the Operating Partnership.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan
In January 1997, the Company adopted a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan (the "DRSPP") pursuant to which the Company's shareholders
will be permitted to acquire shares of Common Stock through the
reinvestment of distributions on Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock,
Series B Preferred Stock and through optional cash payments from
shareholders. The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission the offer and sale of up to 750,000 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the DRSPP. During 1997, 24,785 shares of Common Stock were
acquired by shareholders pursuant to the DRSPP.
Earnings Per Share and Dividend Data
The Company adopted SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. All
prior period EPS data has been restated to conform with the provisions of
this statement.
The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. The computation of diluted
earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding plus the shares resulting from the assumed exercise of
all outstanding options using the treasury stock method. The following
table provides a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the
basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended
December 31, 1997, 1996 and 1995.

8. Employee Benefit Plans
401 (k) Savings Plan
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan is a
defined contribution plan that satisfies the requirements of Section
401(a) and 401(k) of the Code. The Company may, but is not obligated to,
make a matching contribution of $.50 for each $1.00 contributed, up to 6%
of the participant's compensation. The Company's contribution to this
plan was $154,300, $118,700 and $81,600 in 1997, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation Plan
The Company has adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for
key employees who are not qualified for participation in the Company's
401 (k) Savings Plan. Under the terms of the plan, employees may elect
to defer a percentage of their compensation and the Company matches a
portion of their salary deferral. The plan is designed so that the
employees' investment earnings under the non-qualified plan should be the
same as the earning assets in the Company's 401 (k) Savings Plan. The
Company's match to this plan in 1997, 1996 and 1995 was $18,600, $23,600
and $8,600, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "ESPP") provides a means for employees to purchase common stock of
the Company. The board has authorized the issuance of 150,000 shares for
the plan. The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee who may
annually grant options to employees to purchase annually up to an
aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the
market price of the common stock. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the ESPP
purchased 2,758, 3,176 and 2,710 shares, respectively.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(the "ESOP") which is a non-contributory stock bonus plan that satisfies
the requirements of Section 401 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code. Each
employee of the Company is eligible to participate in the ESOP after
attaining the age of 21 years and completing one year of service with the
Company. Participants' ESOP accounts will be 100% vested after five
years of continuous service, with no vesting prior to that time. The
Company contributed 22,500 shares of Common Stock to the ESOP upon
conclusion of the IPO. During 1997, 1996 and 1995, the Company
contributed $344,000, $276,000 and $186,000, respectively, to the ESOP
which purchased an additional 11,921, 8,208 and 5,148 shares,
respectively.
Stock Option Plan
The Company has adopted the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") to provide incentives to attract and retain independent
directors, executive officers and key employees. The Plan provides for
the grant of options to purchase a specified number of shares of common
stock ("Options") or grants of restricted shares of common stock
("Restricted Stock"). The Plan also allows the Company to grant options
to purchase Operating Partnership units at the price of the Common Stock
on the New York Stock Exchange on the day prior to issuance of the units
(the "LESOP Provision"). The Plan authorizes Options to buy a total of
500,000 shares of common stock. The Compensation Committee of the Board
of Directors is responsible for granting Options and shares of Restricted
Stock and for establishing the exercise price of Options and terms and
conditions of Restricted Stock. During the first quarter of 1997, the
Company amended the Plan to increase the shares authorized an increase
from 500,000 to 1,000,000 and to remove the restriction on the number of
options that may be issued, subject to overall plan limits.
In 1997 the Company granted options to certain executives and other
officers to purchase 96,000 shares of Common Stock and 110,000 Operating
Partnership units pursuant to the LESOP Provision. In 1997 options to
purchase 75,000 shares of common stock and 110,000 Operating Partnership
units were exercised and the Company advanced a portion of
the purchase price of these shares and units. The employee
advances mature five years from date of issuance and accrue interest,
payable in arrears, at a rate of 7.0% per annum. At December 31, 1997,
the outstanding principal balance on the employee advances was
approximately $700,000 and is recorded in the Company's statement of
shareholders' equity. The Company entered into supplemental bonus agreements
with the employees which are intended to fund the payment of the advances
over a five year period. Under the terms of the supplemental bonus
agreements, the Company will pay cash bonuses to these employees equal to
20% of the original note balance on each anniversary date of the notes.
The bonuses are limited to 15% of the aggregate purchase price of the
common shares and units.
A summary of changes in Options to acquire shares of Common Stock and
Operating Partnership Units for the three years ended December 31, 1997
follows:
Weighted Average
Options Exercise Price
------- ----------------
Outstanding at December 31, 1994 235,000 20.40

Forfeited (13,025) 27.91
--------
Outstanding at December 31, 1997 523,500 25.40
========
Options exercisable:
December 31, 1995 34,850 $ 20.63
December 31, 1996 84,050 20.82
December 31, 1997 140,500 21.71
Exercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 1997 ranged
from $19.75 to $29.50. The weighted average remaining contractual life
of those options is 8 years.
On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", which requires either the (i) fair value of
employee stock-based compensation plans be recorded as a component of
compensation expense in the statement of operations as of the date of
grant of awards related to such plans, or (ii) impact of such fair value
on net income and earnings per share be disclosed on a pro forma basis in
a footnote to financial statements for awards granted after December 15,
1994, if the accounting for such awards continues to be in accordance
with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," ("APB 25"). The Company will continue such
accounting under the provisions of APB 25. The pro forma effects in 1997
and 1996 to net income per common share were not considered material.
9. Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Partnership has only limited involvement with derivative financial
instruments and does not use them for trading purposes. The Partnership
occasionally utilizes derivative financial instruments as hedges in
anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest
rate risk.
In anticipation of the March 6, 1998 financing transaction discussed in
Note 11 "Subsequent Events (Unaudited)", the Partnership entered into
four separate interest rate contracts in 1997 with notional amounts
aggregating $140 million. As of December 31, 1997 the fair value of
these interest rate contracts, based on broker estimates, was an
unrealized loss of approximately $1.1 million ($1.4 million realized loss
as of March 6, 1998). Unrealized changes in the market value of interest
rate contracts are deferred until the hedged transaction is consumated
and realized gains and losses resulting from changes in the market value
of these contacts are deferred and amortized into interest expense over
the life of the related debt issuance.
10. Related Party Transaction
During 1997 the Company acquired its corporate headquarters building for
$2,912,000 from a partnership whose partners included certain executive
officers of the Company. The consideration paid consisted of $862,000
cash, 22,246 Operating Partnership Units valued at $634,000 ($28.50 per
unit) and the assumption of an existing loan. Prior to acquisition the
Company leased the building from the partnership.
11. Subsequent Events (Unaudited)
Declaration of Dividend
The Company declared a fourth quarter common stock dividend of $.55 per
share to be paid January 30, 1998 to holders of record on January 23,
1998.
Completed Acquisitions
Since December 31, 1997, the Company has acquired the following apartment
communities (the "Completed Acquisitions") containing an aggregate of 392
apartment units (dollars in millions):
NUMBER OF ACQUISITION CONTRACT
PROPERTY MARKET UNITS DATE PRICE
-------- ------ -------- ----------- --------
Walden Run McDonough, GA 240 2/5/98 $ 13.4
Van Mark Huntsville, AL 152 2/26/98 5.1
-------- --------
Total 392 $ 18.5
======== ========
The financial statements of the completed acquisitions are not included
in the audited consolidated financial statements included herein.
Financing Transactions
On March 6, 1998, MACP completed the sale of $142,000,000 of first
mortgage bonds (the "MACP Bonds") secured by liens on 26 properties owned
by MACP. The MACP Bonds were issued to Mid-America Finance, Inc., a
wholly owned qualified REIT subsidiary of the Company, which deposited
MACP Bonds into a grantor trust (the "Trust"). The Trust issued
commercial mortgage pass-through certificates representing beneficial
ownership of the MACP Bonds. The five year fixed rate non-amortizing
certificates bear interest at 6.376%. The net proceeds to the Company
were approximately $139.2 million after payment of initial discount,
underwriters' fees, costs of rate lock and other expenses. The Company
used the net proceeds of the MACP Bonds to repay the MSMC Loan.
On March 13, 1998, the Company issued mortgages of $36.2 million,
refinancing $29.04 million of existing loans. These new mortgages are
fixed at 7.00% and will amortize over 25 years and will balloon in 2005.
On March 16, 1998, the Company increased its line of credit from $110
million to $200 million with terms substantially the same as before.
