(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 — Organization

     Apartment Investment and Management Company, or Aimco, is a Maryland corporation incorporated on January 10, 1994. We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the acquisition, ownership, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. As of September 30, 2004, we owned or managed 1,546 apartment properties containing 271,859 apartment units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We serve approximately one million residents per year.

     As of September 30, 2004, we:

	•		owned an equity interest in and consolidated 172,900 units in 693 properties (which we refer to as “consolidated”), of which 172,748 units were also managed by us;
	•		owned an equity interest in and did not consolidate 51,474 units in 371 properties (which we refer to as “unconsolidated”), of which 44,944 units were also managed by us; and
	•		provided services or managed, for third party owners, 47,485 units in 482 properties, primarily pursuant to long-term agreements (including 39,294 units in 409 properties that are asset managed only, and not property managed), although in certain cases we may indirectly own a small interest (generally less than one percent) in such properties through a partnership syndication or other fund.

     Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, AIMCO-GP, Inc. and AIMCO-LP, Inc., we own a majority of the ownership interests in AIMCO Properties, L.P., which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2004, we held approximately a 90% interest in the common partnership units and equivalents of the Aimco Operating Partnership. We conduct substantially all of our business and own substantially all of our assets through the Aimco Operating Partnership. Interests in the Aimco Operating Partnership that are held by limited partners other than Aimco are referred to as “OP Units.” OP Units include common OP Units, partnership preferred units, or preferred OP Units, and high performance partnership units, or High Performance Units. Holders of common OP Units may redeem such units for cash or, at the Aimco Operating Partnership’s option, Aimco Class A Common Stock, which we refer to as Common Stock. At September 30, 2004, 94,762,040 shares of our Common Stock were outstanding and the Aimco Operating Partnership had 10,864,316 common OP Units and equivalents outstanding for a combined total of 105,626,356 shares of Common Stock and OP Units outstanding (excluding preferred OP Units).

     Except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.

NOTE 2 — Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. 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 of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.

     The balance sheet at December 31, 2003 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

5

     For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto included in Aimco’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Certain 2003 financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2004 presentation, including certain intercompany eliminations and the treatment of discontinued operations.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership, consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships. As used herein, and except where the context otherwise requires, “partnership” refers to a limited partnership or a limited liability company and “partner” refers to a limited partner in a limited partnership or a member in a limited liability company. Interests held in consolidated real estate partnerships by limited partners other than us are reflected as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The assets of consolidated real estate partnerships owned or controlled by Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership generally are not available to pay creditors of Aimco or the Aimco Operating Partnership.

     We reflect partners’ interests in consolidated real estate partnerships as minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships. Minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships represents the non-controlling partners’ share of the underlying net assets of our consolidated real estate partnerships. When these consolidated real estate partnerships make cash distributions to partners in excess of their minority interest balances, we record a charge equal to the minority partners’ excess of distributions over their minority interest balances, even though there is no economic effect or cost. We classify this charge in the consolidated statements of income as deficit distributions to minority partners. We allocate losses to minority partners until such time as such losses exceed the minority partners’ capital account balances, in which case, we recognize 100% of the losses when the partnership is in a deficit equity position, even though there is no economic effect or cost. Approximately $2.1 million and $4.6 million in depreciation related net losses were charged to operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and approximately $0.4 million in depreciation related net recoveries and $1.3 million in depreciation related net losses were charged to operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively.

NOTE 3 — Acquisitions and Joint Ventures

     On September 29, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a property located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, containing 200 units and ground-floor retail space. We funded the purchase price of $51.0 million through non-recourse, long-term, fixed rate, partially amortizing property debt of $26.5 million, with an interest rate of 5.13%, and tax-free exchange funds.

     On September 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a property located in Miami, Florida, containing 471 units. We funded the purchase price of $63.8 million through tax-free exchange funds and the assumption of $48.2 million of existing debt. Additionally, during the third quarter, we purchased two other properties, containing a total of 141 units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $13.4 million funded with cash and tax-free exchange funds.

     During May 2004, we completed the acquisition of five contiguous apartment properties located in New York City on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, containing an aggregate of 72 units, for a total purchase price of $14.5 million. We funded the acquisition primarily through tax-free exchange funds and the assumption of mortgage debt of approximately $9.3 million. Additionally, we completed the acquisition of a property located in Fall River, Massachusetts, containing 240 units, for a total purchase price of $19.0 million. We funded the acquisition primarily through tax-free exchange funds and the assumption of mortgage debt of approximately $10.0 million.

     On January 30, 2004, we completed the acquisition of The Palazzo at Park La Brea located in Los Angeles, California, a mid-rise apartment community with 521 units, for $162.9 million, which included $0.5 million in transaction costs. The Palazzo at Park La Brea is the second of three phases recently completed as part of the Park La Brea development. We paid approximately $69.7 million in cash and were required to repay existing construction loan financing of approximately $92.7 million. We funded the repayment of existing mortgage indebtedness primarily through a non-recourse, long-term, variable rate, partially amortizing property note of $88.1 million, with an interest rate of 1.50% over 30-day LIBOR. Additionally during the first quarter, we completed the acquisition of a three-property portfolio located in New York City, containing an aggregate of 75 units, for a total purchase price of $17.8 million. We funded the acquisition primarily through non-recourse, long-term, fixed rate, partially amortizing property notes totaling $12.2 million, with interest rates of 5.38%.

6

GE Joint Venture

     On December 30, 2003 we entered into an equity financing with GE Real Estate in the form of a joint venture, which we refer to the as the GE JV. In March 2004, we contributed to the GE JV interests in an additional four of our apartment properties with a total of 900 units, and GE Real Estate contributed cash, of which we received approximately $11.0 million before transaction costs and funding of reserves. The four apartment properties we contributed had an agreed upon transaction value of approximately $36.0 million and mortgage debt of approximately $21.0 million that was assumed by the GE JV. We have a 25% managing member interest in the GE JV and GE Real Estate has a 75% non-managing member interest. As a result of our control over day-to-day operations, we continue to consolidate the properties contributed to the GE JV in our consolidated financial statements and did not recognize any gain as a result of this transaction. GE Real Estate’s interest in these net assets through the GE JV is included in minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships.

NOTE 4 — Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities

     In April 2003, we sold 4,000,000 shares of floating rate Class S Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, or the Class S Preferred Stock, through a private placement to an institutional investor. On January 30, 2004, we redeemed 1,015,228 shares of the Class S Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $24.625 per share. Additionally, on March 26, 2004, with proceeds from the issuance of the 7.75% Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock (see Note 6), we redeemed the remaining 2,984,772 shares of the Class S Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $24.75 per share. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, or SFAS 150, for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded to interest expense approximately $0.8 million of dividends paid on the Class S Preferred Stock and $0.4 million resulting from a redemption value adjustment on February 1, 2004.

NOTE 5 — Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

     In connection with the March 11, 2002 acquisition of Casden Properties, Inc., or Casden, which included the merger of Casden into Aimco, and the merger of a subsidiary of Aimco into another REIT affiliated with Casden, all of which we collectively refer to as the Casden Merger, we have commitments to:

	•		purchase Palazzo East at Park La Brea upon satisfactory completion of construction and attainment of 60% occupancy. Palazzo East at Park La Brea is comprised of a total of 610 units, construction of which was completed in December 2003, and which we expect to acquire in early 2005 for a contractually agreed minimum consideration of approximately $199 million. With regard to our previously disclosed commitment to purchase Westwood, on August 11, 2004, a Casden affiliate delivered written notice exercising its right (pursuant to documents entered into in connection with the Casden Merger) to acquire Westwood. We are in the process of negotiating documentation to reflect this, which will extinguish our obligation to purchase Westwood;
	•		provide a stand-by facility of $64.5 million in debt financing associated with the development of Palazzo East at Park La Brea and Westwood (as of September 30, 2004, no funds have been drawn on this stand-by facility). In connection with the Westwood agreement negotiation described above, the maximum amount we will be required to provide through this stand-by facility will be reduced to $32.1 million;
	•		invest up to $50 million for a 20% limited liability company interest in Casden Properties LLC. As of September 30, 2004, we had invested $39.1 million. Casden Properties LLC acts as general contractor for the entity that is developing Palazzo East at Park La Brea and Westwood. In addition, Casden Properties LLC intends to pursue new development opportunities in Southern California and other markets. We have an option, but not an obligation, to purchase at completion all multifamily rental projects developed by Casden Properties LLC; and
	•		pay $2.5 million per quarter for five years (for an aggregate amount of $50 million) to Casden Properties LLC as a retainer on account for redevelopment services on our assets (as of September 30, 2004, $25.0 million has been paid).

Guarantees

     In the ordinary course of business, we provide various guarantees that are covered by the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, or FIN 45. These guarantees include: (i) standby letters of credit, which we may provide to enhance credit or guarantee our performance under contractual obligations; (ii) limited guarantees, which we may provide to certain of our lenders and that may require us to provide funds to maintain required loan-to-value ratios; and (iii) guarantees in connection with our syndication of historical and affordable housing tax credits, which we may provide to make available additional funding to cover operating cash flow deficiencies, cover shortfalls related to the delivery of tax credits and cover financing shortfalls related to project development. These guarantees have varying expiration dates ranging from less than one year to fourteen years. The fair values of these guarantees issued after December 31, 2002 (effective date under FIN 45), are not material to our financial statements.

Legal Matters

     In addition to the matters described below, we are a party to various legal actions and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are covered by liability insurance, and none of which we expect to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Limited Partnerships

     In connection with our acquisitions of interests in real estate partnerships, we are sometimes subject to legal actions, including allegations that such activities may involve breaches of fiduciary duties to the partners of such real estate partnerships or violations of the relevant partnership agreements. We may incur costs in connection with the defense or settlement of such litigation. We believe that we comply with our fiduciary obligations and relevant partnership agreements. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not expect any such legal actions to have a material adverse affect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     Environmental

     Various Federal, state and local laws subject property owners or operators to liability for management, and the costs of removal or remediation, of certain hazardous substances present on a property. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of the hazardous substances. The presence of, or the failure to manage or remedy properly, hazardous substances may adversely affect occupancy at affected apartment communities and the ability to sell or finance affected properties. In addition to the costs associated with investigation and remediation actions brought by government agencies, the presence of hazardous substances on a property could result in claims by private plaintiffs for personal injury, disease, disability or other infirmities. Various laws also impose liability for the cost of removal, remediation or disposal of hazardous substances through a licensed disposal or treatment facility. Anyone who arranges for the disposal or treatment of hazardous substances is potentially liable under such laws. These laws often impose liability whether or not the person arranging for the disposal ever owned or operated the disposal facility. In connection with the ownership, operation and management of properties, we could potentially be liable for environmental liabilities or costs associated with our properties or properties we acquire or manage in the future.

     Mold

     As previously disclosed, we have been named as a defendant in lawsuits that have alleged personal injury as a result of the presence of mold. In addition, we are aware of lawsuits against owners and managers of multifamily properties asserting claims of personal injury and property damage caused by the presence of mold, some of which have resulted in substantial monetary judgments or settlements. We have only limited insurance coverage for property damage loss claims arising from the presence of mold and for personal injury claims related to mold exposure. We have implemented a national policy and procedures to prevent or eliminate mold from our properties and believe that our measures will eliminate, or at least minimize, the effects that mold could have on our residents. To date, we have not incurred any material costs or liabilities relating to claims of mold exposure or to abate mold conditions. Because the law regarding mold is unsettled and subject to change we can make no assurance that liabilities resulting from the presence of or exposure to mold will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

8

     San Francisco Litigation

     As previously disclosed, Aimco and four of its affiliated partnerships are parties to a lawsuit with the City and County of San Francisco and certain of its agents. A settlement agreement among the parties resolving the litigation became effective on November 4, 2004. The settlement was subject to certain previously disclosed conditions subsequent that have been satisfied. We intend to complete a renovation of the properties. The settlement and anticipated renovation of the properties has had no material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     National Union Litigation

     As previously disclosed, National Program Services, Inc. and Vito Gruppuso (collectively “NPS”) were insurance agents who sold to us property insurance issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (“National Union”). The financial failure of NPS resulted in defaults under two agreements by which NPS indemnified us from losses relating to the matters described below. As a result of such defaults we had a $16.7 million insurance-related receivable that was subsequently reduced to $6.7 million following our settlement with Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (“Lumbermens”) and an insurance agency. In addition, we have pending litigation against National Union, First Capital Group, a New York based insurance wholesaler, NPS and other agents of National Union, for a refund of at least $10 million of the prepaid premium plus other damages. The contingent liabilities arising from the NPS defaults also resulted in litigation against us by Cananwill, Inc. (“Cananwill”), a premium funding company, regarding an alleged balance due of $5.7 million on a premium finance agreement that funded premium payments made to National Union. We are also plaintiffs in litigation against Cananwill and Combined Specialty Insurance Company, formerly known as Virginia Surety Company, Inc., alleging Cananwill’s conversion of $1.6 million of unearned premium belonging to us and misapplication of such funds to the alleged debt asserted in the lawsuit initiated by Cananwill. The matter in which we are plaintiffs has been stayed by the court pending resolution of the action filed by Cananwill against us. The previously disclosed litigation brought by WestRM - - West Risk Markets, Ltd. (“WestRM”) against XL Reinsurance America, Inc. (“XL”), Greenwich Insurance Company (“Greenwich”) and Lumbermens in which we have been made a third party defendant continues. Summary judgment has been entered against defendants XL and Greenwich. Similarly, the previously disclosed litigation brought by Highlands Insurance Company (“Highlands”) against Cananwill, XL, Greenwich and us also continues. In those cases in which we are a defendant, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to assert, and we will vigorously defend ourselves against claims brought against us. In addition, we will vigorously prosecute our own claims. Although the outcome of any claim or matter in litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that we will incur any material loss in connection with the insurance-related receivable or that the ultimate outcome of these separate but related matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     FLSA Litigation

     As previously disclosed, the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHP Management Company (“NHPMN”), an affiliate of ours, are defendants in a lawsuit alleging that they willfully violated the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) by failing to pay maintenance workers overtime for all hours worked in excess of forty per week. The complaint attempts to bring a collective action under the FLSA and seeks to certify state subclasses in California, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Specifically, the plaintiffs contend that the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to compensate maintenance workers for time that they were required to be “on-call.” Additionally, the complaint alleges the Aimco Operating Partnership and NHPMN failed to comply with the FLSA in compensating maintenance workers for time that they worked in responding to a call while “on-call.” We have filed an answer to the amended complaint denying the substantive allegations. The parties are actively engaging in discovery. Although the outcome of any litigation is uncertain, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

     SEC Investigation

     As previously disclosed, the Central Regional Office of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) is conducting a formal investigation relating to certain matters. Although the staff of the SEC is not limited in the areas that it may investigate, we believe the areas of investigation include our miscalculated monthly net rental income figures in third quarter 2003, forecasted guidance, accounts payable, rent concessions, vendor rebates, capitalization of payroll and certain other costs, and tax credit transactions. We are cooperating fully. We are not able to predict when the matter will be resolved. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 6 — Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

Redemptions

     On September 30, 2004, we completed a partial redemption for cash of 2,000,000 outstanding shares of our 9.0% Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, or the Class N Preferred Stock, for a total redemption price of $25.68125 per share, which included a redemption price of $25 per share, $0.18125 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through September 30, 2004, and a 2%, or $0.50 per share, redemption premium. The redemption premium was included in preferred dividends for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

     On April 21, 2004, we redeemed for cash all 3,999,662 outstanding shares of our 9.0% Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock, or the Class P Preferred Stock, for a total redemption price of $25.0375 per share, which included a redemption price of $25 per share, and $0.0375 per share of accumulated and unpaid dividends through April 20, 2004. Prior to the redemption, the holders of the Class P Preferred Stock were entitled to receive quarterly dividends of $0.5625 per share, equivalent to $2.25 per share on an annual basis, or 9.0% of the $25 per share liquidation preference.

Exchanges

     On September 30, 2004, we issued 1,904,762 shares of 8.1% Class W Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class W Preferred Stock, in exchange for all 1,904,762 shares of our 9.0% Class O Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, or the Class O Preferred Stock, in a private transaction. Holders of the Class W Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends (paid quarterly) in an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $4.2525 per year (equivalent to 8.1% of the $52.50 liquidation preference), or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class W Preferred Stock is convertible. Each share of Class W Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into one share of Common Stock (the same conversion rate as the Class O Preferred Stock), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion price was in excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the commitment date. Class W Preferred Stock is senior to Common Stock as to dividends and liquidation. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before payments of distributions are made to any holders of our Common Stock, the holders of the Class W Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $52.50 per share, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Class W Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning September 30, 2007 for cash at a price per share equal to 102% of the liquidation preference, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Following this exchange, no shares of Class O Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of September 30, 2004.

     On September 30, 2004, we issued 2,000,000 shares of 8.5% Class X Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class X Preferred Stock, in exchange for 2,000,000 shares of our 9.0% Class N Preferred Stock in a private transaction. Holders of the Class X Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cash dividends (paid quarterly) in an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $2.125 per year (equivalent to 8.5% of the $25 liquidation preference), or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class X Preferred Stock is convertible. Beginning on April 1, 2006, holders of Class X Preferred Stock are entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) $2.25 per year (equivalent to 9.0% of the liquidation preference), or (ii) the cash dividends payable on the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Class X Preferred Stock is convertible. Each share of Class X Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into 0.4762 shares of Common Stock (the same conversion rate as the Class N Preferred Stock), subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion price was in excess of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the commitment date. Class X Preferred Stock is senior to Common Stock as to dividends and liquidation. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before payments of distributions are made to any holders of our Common Stock, the holders of the Class X Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Class X Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning March 31, 2006 for cash in the amount of $25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption. Under certain circumstances prior to March 31, 2006, the Class X Preferred Stock may be redeemable at 102% of the liquidation preference. Following this exchange, no shares of Class N Preferred Stock remained outstanding as of September 30, 2004.

10

     The partial redemption and exchanges in third quarter 2004 of the Class N Preferred Stock and the Class O Preferred Stock resulted in $2.1 million of redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and a $1.0 million redemption premium being deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and thereby reduced by $0.03 our earnings per basic and diluted common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Issuances

     On September 29, 2004, we sold 3,450,000 shares of 8.0% Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class V Preferred Stock, in a registered public offering generating net proceeds of approximately $83.5 million. Of the total net proceeds, we used $50.0 million to provide the majority of the funding necessary to redeem 2,000,000 shares of the Class N Preferred Stock and the remainder to pay down our revolving credit facility with the intention of redeeming our 8.75% Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock, or the Class D Preferred Stock, on November 5, 2004 (see Note 12). Holders of the Class V Preferred Stock are entitled to receive quarterly dividend payments of $0.50 per share, equivalent to $2.00 per share on an annual basis, or 8.00% of the $25 per share liquidation preference. Class V Preferred Stock is senior to Common Stock as to dividends and liquidation. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before payments of distributions are made to any holders of our Common Stock, the holders of the Class V Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Class V Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning September 29, 2009 for cash in the amount of $25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.

     On March 24, 2004, we sold 8,000,000 shares of 7.75% Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, or the Class U Preferred Stock, in a registered public offering generating net proceeds of approximately $193.7 million. Of the total net proceeds, we used approximately $74.0 million to redeem our floating rate Class S Preferred Stock (see Note 4) and the remainder to pay down our revolving credit facility, which we later used to redeem the Class P Preferred Stock on April 21, 2004 as discussed above. Holders of the Class U Preferred Stock are entitled to receive quarterly dividend payments of $0.484375 per share, equivalent to $1.9375 per share on an annual basis, or 7.75% of the $25 per share liquidation preference. Class U Preferred Stock is senior to Common Stock as to dividends and liquidation. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, before payments of distributions are made to any holders of our Common Stock, the holders of the Class U Preferred Stock are entitled to receive a liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus accumulated, accrued and unpaid dividends. Each share of Class U Preferred Stock is redeemable at our option beginning March 24, 2009 for cash in the amount of $25 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.

Common Stock

     During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 51,000 and 713,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, approximately 35,000 and 119,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued in exchange for common OP Units tendered for redemption.

     In addition, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, approximately 4,000 and 484,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, respectively, were issued to certain officers and employees, compared to approximately 2,000 and 234,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The issuance of restricted stock was recorded at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of issuance.

     On February 18, 19 and 24, 2004, we purchased on the open market 30,000, 60,000 and 20,000 shares of Common Stock, respectively, at an average price per share of approximately $32.03, $32.17 and $31.26, respectively.

     As previously disclosed, prior to the March 2002 Casden Merger in which we acquired National Partnership Investments Corp. (“NAPICO”), investors holding limited partnership units in various limited partnerships of which NAPICO is the corporate general partner commenced an action (the “REAL Litigation”) against NAPICO and certain other defendants. On December 30, 2003, a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) between NAPICO and Aimco and the prior shareholders of Casden Properties, Inc. closed in accordance with its terms. Among other things, the Settlement Agreement provided that The Casden Company deliver promissory notes (each a “Note” and collectively, the “Notes”) to NAPICO in an aggregate amount of $35 million ($7 million per year for 5 years), plus interest, on a secured, non-recourse basis. The Notes are secured by (i) approximately 804,000 shares of

11

Common Stock and (ii) cash proceeds of recoveries or settlements that Alan I. Casden or any of his affiliates, or any of the former shareholders of Casden Properties Inc., receive in connection with or related to the REAL Litigation.

     On February 24, 2004, we completed the purchase of 287,272 shares of Common Stock from the representatives of the plaintiffs in the REAL Litigation. We paid in cash an aggregate of approximately $9.1 million to the representatives of the plaintiffs for the shares, or $31.60 per share. The plaintiffs received these shares from Alan I. Casden on December 30, 2003 pursuant to the previously disclosed Stipulation of Settlement with the plaintiffs and their counsel relating to the REAL Litigation and the Settlement Agreement.

     On September 22, 2004, Aimco entered into an agreement with respect to certain proceeds to be received by Alan I. Casden and Casden’s right to deliver Common Stock at an agreed upon value of $47 per share in satisfaction of the Notes. Subject to court approval, which was granted on November 1, 2004, we will receive $20 million in cash as payment in full on the three Notes due in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Thereafter, at various intervals spanning approximately 1.5 years, we will receive cash payments of $4 million, $3 million and $2.5 million in satisfaction of the Notes due in 2007 and 2008. This transaction resolves a contingency based on the price of our Common Stock related to the Casden acquisition. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, we recorded a $4.8 million charge to additional paid-in capital, representing the difference between the $29.1 million fair value of the consideration to be paid pursuant to the settlement and the $33.9 million book value of the Notes.

Registration Statement

     On March 26, 2004, we filed a new shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, with respect to an aggregate of $1.05 billion of our debt and equity securities (of which approximately $50 million was carried over from the 2001 shelf registration statement) and $500.0 million of debt securities of the Aimco Operating Partnership (all of which was carried forward from the 2001 shelf registration statement). On April 5, 2004, the SEC declared the 2004 shelf registration statement effective. As of September 30, 2004, we have approximately $963.8 million of debt and equity securities, and the Aimco Operating Partnership has $500.0 million of debt securities, authorized for sale under this 2004 shelf registration statement.

NOTE 7 — Stock-Based Compensation

     Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, or SFAS 123, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, or SFAS 148, and applied the prospective method set forth in SFAS 148 with respect to the transition. Under this method, we now apply the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to all employee awards granted, modified, or settled on or after January 1, 2003, which has resulted in compensation expense being recorded based on the fair value of the stock options. Prior to January 1, 2003, we followed Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, or APB 25, and related interpretations in accounting. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options and warrants equaled the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense was recognized. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures below, the estimated fair values for all awards made prior to January 1, 2003 are amortized over the respective vesting period for each such option and are shown as expense as if SFAS 123 had been applied to all such awards.

     The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period presented. Our pro forma information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 8 — Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

     At September 30, 2004, we had 30 properties with an aggregate of 6,455 units and one parcel of land classified as held for sale. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we included the results of operations of these 30 properties in discontinued operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 32 properties with an aggregate of 7,587 units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, we also included in discontinued operations the results of operations of these 32 properties before the sale and the related gain/loss on sale. During the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold 72 properties with an aggregate of 18,291 units. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we also included in discontinued operations the results of operations of these 72 properties before the sale and the related gain/loss on sale.

     The following is a summary of the components of income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (dollars in thousands):

     We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. We expect that all properties classified as held for sale will sell within one year from the date classified as held for sale. Assets classified as held for sale of $264.5 million at September 30, 2004 include real estate with a net book value of $256.0 million and restricted cash and other assets of $8.5 million. Liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $209.0 million at September 30, 2004 include mortgage debt of $201.8 million. Assets classified as held for sale of $685.0 million at December 31, 2003 include real estate net book value of $657.7 million, represented by 62 properties with 14,042 units and one parcel of land that were classified as assets held for sale during 2003 and 2004. Liabilities related to assets classified as held for sale of $511.2 million at December 31, 2003 include mortgage debt of $499.2 million. The estimated proceeds, less anticipated costs to sell certain of these assets, were less than the net book value, and therefore we recorded impairments of $9.5 million and $9.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and impairments of $0.6 million and $8.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. We are also marketing for sale properties other than those described above, both consolidated and unconsolidated that are not accounted for as assets held for sale because they do not meet the required criteria.

14

NOTE 9 — Earnings Per Share

     We calculate earnings per share based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock, common stock equivalents and dilutive convertible securities outstanding during the period. The following table illustrates the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except per share data):

     All of our convertible preferred stock is anti-dilutive on an “as converted” basis, therefore, we deduct all of the dividends payable on the convertible preferred stock to arrive at the numerator and no additional shares are included in the denominator. We have excluded from diluted earnings per share the common share equivalents related to approximately 11.0 million and 12.3 million of vested and unvested stock options, shares issued for non-recourse notes receivable, and restricted stock awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and approximately 5.6 million and 9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share in accordance with Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, we treat the unvested portion of restricted shares as common stock equivalents.

15

NOTE 10 — Business Segments

     We have two reportable segments: real estate (owning and operating apartments) and investment management business (providing property management, syndication based activities, and other services relating to the apartment business to third parties and affiliates). We own and operate properties throughout the United States and Puerto Rico that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of apartment units to a diverse base of residents. We separately evaluate the performance of each of our properties. However, because each of our properties has similar economic characteristics, the properties have been aggregated into a single apartment communities, or real estate, segment. All real estate revenues are from external customers and no real estate revenues are generated from transactions with other segments. No single resident or related group of residents contributed 10% or more of total revenues during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. A significant portion of the revenues earned in the investment management business are from transactions with affiliates in the real estate segment.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, or SFAS 131, requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing segment performance. Our chief operating decision maker is comprised of several members of our executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business including net operating income, free cash flow, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations. In 2004, the chief operating decision maker has emphasized net operating income as a key measurement of segment profit or loss. Accordingly, below we disclose net operating income for each of our segments. Net operating income is defined as segment revenues (after the elimination of intersegment revenues) less direct segment operating expenses. In 2003, we reported free cash flow as the primary basis for measurement of segment profit or loss. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 amounts to conform to the 2004 presentation. These reclassifications primarily represent presentation changes related to discontinued operations and intercompany eliminations.

     The following table presents revenues and net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, from these segments, and reconciles net operating income of reportable segments to operating income as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands):

16

(1) Total assets for reportable segments include assets associated with both the real estate and investment management business segments.

NOTE 11 — Recent Accounting Developments

FASB Interpretation No. 46

     As of March 31, 2004, we adopted FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46, and applied its requirements to all entities in which we hold a variable interest. FIN 46 addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. Generally, a variable interest entity, or VIE, is an entity with one or more of the following characteristics: (a) the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support; (b) as a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack (i) the ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights, (ii) the obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity, or (iii) the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity; or (c) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportional to their economic interests and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve, or are conducted on behalf of, an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. FIN 46 requires a VIE to be consolidated in the financial statements of the entity that is determined to be the primary beneficiary of the VIE. The primary beneficiary generally is the entity that will receive a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receive a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both.

     Upon adoption of FIN 46, we determined that we were the primary beneficiary of 27 previously unconsolidated and five previously consolidated VIEs. These VIEs consisted of partnerships that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 29 apartment properties with 3,478 units. The initial consolidation of the previously unconsolidated entities as of March 31, 2004 resulted in an increase in our consolidated total assets (primarily real estate), liabilities (primarily indebtedness) and minority interest of approximately $113.5 million, $90.6 million and $26.8 million, respectively. We recorded a charge of approximately $4.0 million for the cumulative effect on retained earnings resulting from the adoption of FIN 46. This charge is attributable to our recognition of cumulative losses allocable to minority interests that would otherwise have resulted in minority interest deficits.

     As of September 30, 2004, we were the primary beneficiary of 34 consolidated VIEs, which owned 31 apartment properties with 4,012 units. Substantially all of the assets of each consolidated VIE are collateral for the VIE’s obligations. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to our general credit. As of September 30, 2004, we also held variable interests in 64 VIEs for which we were not the primary beneficiary. Those 64 VIEs consist primarily of partnerships, in which we acquired an interest prior to the adoption of FIN 46, that are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the ownership and management of 71 apartment properties with 7,722 units. We are involved with those VIEs as a non-controlling equity holder, lender, management agent, or through other contractual relationships. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of our involvement with unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our recorded investments in and receivables from those VIEs totaling $34.9 million at September 30, 2004. We may be subject to additional losses to the extent of any financial support that we voluntarily provide in the future.

NOTE 12 — Subsequent Events

Redemption of Class D Cumulative Preferred Stock

     On October 6, 2004, we announced that we would redeem for cash on November 5, 2004, 1,450,000 shares of Class D Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated and unpaid dividends through November 5, 2004, for a total of $25.1276 per share. Following this redemption, 1,250,000 shares of the Class D Preferred Stock will remain outstanding.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

     On November 2, 2004, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2004 (the “Credit Agreement”), with a syndicate of financial institutions. In addition to Aimco, the Aimco Operating Partnership and two Aimco subsidiaries, NHP Management Company and AIMCO/Bethesda Holdings, Inc. are also borrowers under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement amends and restates our two separate existing loan facilities.

     The original aggregate commitments under the Credit Agreement are $750 million, comprised of $450 million of revolving loan commitments and a $300 million term loan tranche. The revolving loans bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the LIBOR rate plus a margin that can range from 1.50% to 2.00% (for LIBOR loans) or (ii) the base rate plus a margin that can range from 0% to 0.25% (for base rate loans), in each case, depending on our leverage ratio. The term loans bear interest at a rate equal to (i) the LIBOR rate plus 2.00% (for LIBOR loans) or (ii) the base rate plus 0.25% (for base rate loans). The default rate of interest for the loans is equal to the applicable rate described above plus 3%. The revolving loans mature on November 2, 2007, and the term loans mature on November 2, 2009.

     The Credit Agreement includes customary financial covenants, including the maintenance of specified ratios with respect to total indebtedness to gross asset value, total secured indebtedness to gross asset value, aggregate recourse indebtedness to gross asset value, variable rate debt to total indebtedness, debt service coverage, and fixed charge coverage; the maintenance of a minimum adjusted tangible net worth; and limitations regarding the amount of cross-collateralized debt. The Credit Agreement includes other customary covenants, including a restriction on distributions and other restricted payments, but permits distributions during any 12-month period in an aggregate amount of up to 95% of our funds from operations for such period or such amount as may be necessary to maintain our REIT status. The Credit Agreement also permits us to repurchase our Common Stock using 80% of sales proceeds in any trailing four-quarter period.

     The lenders under the Credit Agreement may accelerate any outstanding loans if, among other things: we fail to make payments when due; material defaults occur under other debt agreements; certain bankruptcy or insolvency events occur; material judgments against us occur; we fail to comply with certain covenants, such as the requirement to deliver financial information or the requirement to provide notices regarding material events (subject to applicable grace periods in some cases); indebtedness is incurred in violation of the covenants; or prohibited liens arise.

     Upon entering into the new Credit Agreement on November 2, 2004, we borrowed $300.0 million of term loans, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%, and $145.0 million of revolving loans, which currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%. Proceeds from the term loans were used to repay the outstanding loans under our previous loan facilities, and for other corporate purposes. Proceeds from the revolving loans made on the closing date were used to repay outstanding loans under the previous loan facilities. The proceeds of future revolving loans are generally permitted to be used to fund general working capital and other corporate purposes.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

     The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking statements in certain circumstances. Certain information included in this Report contains or may contain information that is forward-looking, including, without limitation, statements regarding the effect of acquisitions, our future financial performance and the effect of government regulations. Actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors including, without limitation: national and local economic conditions; the general level of interest rates; the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations; the competitive environment in which we operate; financing risks, including the risk that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; real estate risks, including variations of real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets; acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions to perform in accordance with projections; litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes; and possible environmental liabilities, including costs that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us. In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Code, through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Readers should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 and the other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As used herein and except as the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Aimco, AIMCO Properties, L.P. (which we refer to as the Aimco Operating Partnership) and Aimco’s consolidated corporate subsidiaries and consolidated real estate partnerships, collectively.

Executive Overview

     We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT, engaged in the ownership, acquisition, management and redevelopment of apartment properties. Our property operations are characterized by diversification of product, location and price point. As of September 30, 2004, we owned or managed 1,546 apartment properties containing 271,859 units located in 47 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Our primary sources of income and cash are rents associated with apartment leases.

     The key financial indicators that we use in managing our business and in evaluating our financial condition and operating performance are: Funds From Operations, or FFO, less spending for Capital Replacements; same store property operating results; net operating income; net operating income less spending for Capital Replacements; financial coverage ratios; and leverage as shown on our balance sheet. These terms are defined and described in the sections captioned “Funds From Operations” and “Capital Expenditures” below. The key macro-economic factors and non-financial indicators that affect our financial condition and operating performance are: rates of job growth; unemployment rates; single-family and multifamily housing starts; and interest rates.

     Because our operating results depend primarily on income from our properties, the supply and demand for apartments substantially influences our results. Additionally, the level of expenses required to operate and maintain our properties and the pace and price at which we redevelop, acquire and dispose of our apartment properties can affect our operating results. Our cost of capital is affected by the conditions in the capital and credit markets and the terms that we negotiate for our equity and debt financings.

     We have grown rapidly over the past decade, and during the past three years our growth has moderated. During the first nine months of 2004, the apartment industry continued to face a challenging operating environment — unemployment, job growth at a pace slower than anticipated, low interest rates and an abundant supply of housing alternatives. In addition, we experienced greater difficulty as compared to our peers because our property operating systems and structure were not as effective as our peers in meeting the challenges presented by the apartment markets. In response, we are adjusting our business strategies to compete successfully in challenging times and to be ready to maximize our opportunities as the economy improves.

19

     During the first nine months of 2004, we continued to address property operations and those efforts will continue throughout the remainder of 2004. We have focused on a number of areas related to improving operations, including those related to resident selection, marketing, pricing, operating cost management and customer satisfaction. Our focus on resident selection is designed to make our communities more desirable places to live and work, which drives better financial performance from higher and more stable occupancy levels, increased pricing power and reduced costs. Although, we still have a number of steps to take to build revenue through increased occupancy with residents that meet our financial stability standards, we believe that our improvement efforts are working. In combination, our initiatives are resulting in improved customer service, better pricing decisions, increased resident quality, a focus on sales and marketing and higher employee satisfaction. These initiatives have resulted in a positive trend in certain operating results and are the foundation for long-term benefits that we have begun to realize in the third quarter of 2004 and expect to continue through the fourth quarter of 2004 and beyond. In part, these initiatives have also resulted in improved asset quality, and we will continue to seek opportunities to reinvest in our properties through capital expenditures and to manage our portfolio through property sales and acquisitions.

     The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements.

Results of Operations

Overview

     Three months ended September 30, 2004 compared to three months ended September 30, 2003

     We recognized net income of $163.2 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $138.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to net income of $40.6 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $13.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $122.6 million and $124.8 million, respectively. These increases were principally due to:

	•		an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate recognized in discontinued operations; and
	•		an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, primarily related to gain on sale of land.

     These increases were partially offset by:

	•		a decline in same store net operating results;
	•		an increase in interest expense;
	•		an increase in general and administrative expenses; and
	•		an increase in depreciation and amortization.

     Nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2003

     We recognized net income of $191.2 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $124.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to net income of $121.7 million and net income attributable to common stockholders of $47.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, an increase of $69.5 million and $77.2 million, respectively. These increases were principally due to:

	•		an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate recognized in discontinued operations;
	•		an increase in net gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, primarily related to gain on sales of land; and
	•		an increase in activity fees and asset management revenues.

     These increases were partially offset by:

20

	•		a decline in same store net operating results;
	•		an increase in general and administrative expenses;
	•		an increase in interest expense;
	•		an increase in depreciation and amortization expense; and
	•		the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle due to implementation of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46.

     The following paragraphs discuss these and other items affecting our results of operations in more detail.

Rental Property Operations

     Our operating income is primarily generated from the operations of our consolidated properties. The principal components within our total consolidated property operations are: consolidated same store properties, which consist of all conventional properties that were owned, stabilized and consolidated for all periods presented; and other consolidated entities, which include acquisition, newly consolidated, affordable and redevelopment properties.

     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our consolidated properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income for our consolidated property operations decreased by $3.7 million, or 2.0%. This decrease was principally due to an $8.6 million decrease in consolidated same store net operating income. See further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results.” Additionally, there was a $5.3 million decrease related to net casualty losses and other costs resulting from hurricanes and tropical storms in the third quarter of 2004, which damaged over 100 of our properties. These decreases were offset by a $3.8 million increase related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of The Palazzo at Park La Brea, seven properties purchased in 2004 and two properties purchased in 2003. The decrease was further offset by a $4.6 million increase related to operations of newly consolidated properties, which are properties that had been previously unconsolidated and accounted for by the equity method (three properties that were first consolidated in 2003 and 36 properties first consolidated in 2004, which includes 24 properties that were consolidated due to the implementation of FIN 46).

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income for our consolidated property operations decreased by $18.2 million, or 3.2%. This decrease was principally due to a $31.4 million decrease in consolidated same store net operating income. See further discussion of same store results under the heading “Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results.” Additionally, there was a $5.3 million decrease related to net casualty losses and other costs resulting from hurricanes and tropical storms in the third quarter of 2004, which damaged over 100 of our properties. These decreases were offset by an $11.3 million increase related to operations of newly consolidated properties (12 properties that were first consolidated in 2003 and 36 properties first consolidated in 2004, which includes 24 properties that were consolidated due to the implementation of FIN 46) and a $9.8 million increase related to operations of acquisition properties, which were principally comprised of The Palazzo at Park La Brea, seven properties purchased in 2004 and three properties purchased in 2003.

Conventional Same Store Property Operating Results

     Same store operating results is a key indicator we use to assess the performance of our property operations and to understand the period over period operations of a consistent portfolio of properties. We define “same store” properties as conventional properties in which our ownership interest exceeds 10% and the operations of which are stabilized for all periods presented. To ensure comparability, the information for all periods shown is based on current period ownership. The following table summarizes the unaudited conventional rental property operations on a “same store” basis (which is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) and reconciles them to consolidated rental property operations (which is in accordance with GAAP) described in the above comparative discussions (dollars in thousands):

(1) Includes: (i) minority partners’ share of consolidated less our share of unconsolidated property revenues and property operating expenses (at current period ownership), (ii) property revenues and property operating expenses related to consolidated properties other than same store properties (e.g., acquisition properties and redevelopment properties) and (iii) eliminations and other adjustments made in accordance with GAAP.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, our share of same store net operating income decreased $8.6 million, or 5.6%. Revenues decreased $1.8 million, or 0.7%, primarily due to lower average rent (down $8 per unit), offset by higher utility reimbursements from residents and decreased bad debt. Expenses increased by $6.8 million, or 6.1%, primarily due to: an increase of $5.1 million in compensation and benefit expense related to a new employee health plan, merit increases and increased staffing levels; an increase of $4.1 million in turnover, marketing and contract services related to focused efforts to increase occupancy, make units ready and improve the physical appearance of the properties; and an increase of $1.2 million in uninsured costs associated with the hurricane and tropical storm damage. These increases were offset by a decrease in property taxes related to successful appeals and changes in estimates related to assessments.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, our share of same store net operating income decreased $29.1 million, or 6.5%. Revenues decreased $14.7 million, or 1.9%, primarily due to lower occupancy (down 2.0%), and slightly lower average rent (down $5 per unit), offset by higher utility reimbursements from residents and decreased bad debt. Expenses increased by $14.4 million, or 4.6%, primarily due to: an increase of $13.8 million in compensation and benefit expense related to a new employee health plan, merit increases and increased staffing levels; an increase of $3.1 million in utilities due to the increase in the cost of natural gas; and an increase of $1.2 million in uninsured costs associated with the hurricane and tropical storm damage. These increases were offset by a decrease in property taxes related to successful appeals and changes in estimates related to assessments.

Property Management

     We earn income from property management primarily from unconsolidated real estate partnerships for which we are the general partner. The income is primarily in the form of fees generated through property management and other associated activities. Our revenue from property management decreases as we consolidate real estate partnerships and the income generated is therefore eliminated in consolidation. We expect this trend to continue as we increase our ownership in more of these partnerships or otherwise determine that consolidation is required by GAAP. Additionally, our revenue decreases as properties within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships are sold. Offsetting the revenue earned in property management are the direct expenses associated with property management.

     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our property management for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income from property management decreased by $1.4 million, or 18.0%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income from property management decreased by $3.2 million, or 14.2%. The decrease in both periods was principally due to sales of properties within our unconsolidated partnerships that had previously generated property management revenues.

Activity Fees and Asset Management

     Activity fees are generated from transactional activity including dispositions, syndications, tax credit redevelopments and refinancings. These transactions occur on varying timetables, thus the income generated may vary from period to period. Asset management income is from the financial management of properties, rather than management of day-to-day property operations. Asset management income includes deferred asset management fees that are recognized once a transaction has occurred. Offsetting the revenue earned in activity fees and asset management are the direct expenses associated with these activities.

     The following table summarizes the overall performance of our activity fees and asset management for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

23

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $2.4 million. This overall increase was principally a result of increased activity fees related to disposition and developer activities of $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, due to a greater number of transactions in the third quarter of 2004 as compared to the third quarter of 2003.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, net operating income from activity fees and asset management increased by $8.7 million. This overall increase was principally a result of increased activity fees related to developer, disposition and refinancing activities of $4.3 million, $3.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, also due to a greater number of transactions in 2004 than in 2003. Additionally, there was an increase of $3.8 million related to the recognition of deferred asset management fees resulting from closed transactions. These increases were offset by a $1.5 million decrease related to syndication fees and higher expenses associated with these activities.

Depreciation and Amortization

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, depreciation and amortization increased $8.8 million, or 10.8%. This increase was principally due to $3.5 million and $1.7 million of additional depreciation related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties, respectively, as well as $2.4 million of increased depreciation related to the completion of certain redevelopment properties.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, depreciation and amortization increased $20.7 million, or 8.4%. This increase was principally due to $7.9 million and $5.0 million of additional depreciation related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties, respectively, as well as $4.3 million of increased depreciation related to the completion of certain redevelopment properties.

General and Administrative Expenses

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $7.8 million, or 71.7%. This increase was principally due to: $6.3 million in higher compensation related to increased staffing levels, merit increases and variable compensation; $3.2 million related to increased health insurance costs and the effect of a favorable change in our claims incurred but not reported (“IBNR”) accrual in the third quarter of 2003; offset by $1.9 million in lower consulting, legal and compliance costs.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $26.8 million, or 96.4%. This increase was principally due to: $11.7 million in higher compensation related to increased staffing levels, merit increases and variable compensation; $5.2 million related to increased health insurance costs and the effect of a favorable change in our IBNR accrual in the first nine months of 2003; $2.4 million in higher consulting, legal and compliance costs; $1.9 million favorable change in estimate in the second quarter of 2003 related to the collectibility of corporate receivables from unconsolidated partnerships; and a $1.1 million benefit in the first quarter of 2003 related to forfeited deposits on sales.

Other Expenses (Income), Net

     Other expenses (income), net includes tax provision/benefit, franchise taxes, risk management activities related to our unconsolidated partnerships and partnership expenses.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, other expenses (income), net decreased $2.1 million. This decrease was principally due to a $1.8 million lower tax benefit recognized in the third quarter of 2004 as compared to the third quarter of 2003 and $0.6 million of hurricane and tropical storm costs related to our unconsolidated partnerships. In the three months ended September 30, 2004, there was a tax benefit of $0.8 million recorded, as compared to $2.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2003.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, other expenses (income), net decreased $8.1 million. This change was principally due to an $8.1 million lower tax benefit recognized in 2004 as compared to 2003 and $0.6 million of hurricane and tropical storm costs related to our unconsolidated

24

partnerships. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, there was a tax benefit of $7.4 million recorded, as compared to $15.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, there was an $8.0 million tax benefit related to the reversal of a deferred income tax asset valuation allowance.

Interest Expense

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, interest expense, which includes the amortization of deferred financing costs, increased $9.9 million, or 11.5%. This increase was principally due to: $4.7 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties; a $3.2 million increase due to higher average principal balances on our credit facility and term loans along with an increase in the average interest rates; and a $1.9 million decrease in capitalized interest due to redevelopment properties being placed in service.

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, interest expense increased $21.6 million, or 8.5%. This increase was principally due to: $12.3 million resulting from interest on the additional debt related to the newly consolidated and acquisition properties; an $8.0 million decrease in capitalized interest due to redevelopment properties being placed in service; and a $6.4 million increase due to total higher average principal balances on our credit facility and term loans along with an increase in the average interest rates. These increases were partially offset by lower weighted average effective interest rates on mortgage debt due to refinancings that occurred in 2003 and 2004.

Gain on Dispositions of Real Estate Related to Unconsolidated Entities and Other

     Gain on dispositions of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other includes our share of gain related to dispositions of real estate within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, gain on dispositions of land and costs related to asset disposal activities.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other increased $37.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, gain on disposition of real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other increased $39.0 million. The increases in both periods were principally due to a $34.6 million gain on the sale of a parcel of land located in Florida.

Minority Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Partnerships

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2003, minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships changed $2.8 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, minority interest in consolidated real estate partnerships changed $10.2 million. The changes in both periods were principally a result of decreased earnings caused by lower property operating results than in the prior year offset by increases due to the minority interest partners’ share of our joint venture with GE Real Estate.

Discontinued Operations

     For properties accounted for as held for sale, the results of operations for properties sold during the period or designated as held for sale at the end of the period are required to be classified as discontinued operations. The property-specific components of net earnings that are classified as discontinued operations include all property-related revenues and operating expenses, depreciation expense recognized prior to the classification as held for sale, property-specific interest expense to the extent there is secured debt on the property and the associated minority interest. In addition, any impairments on assets held for sale, and the net gain on the eventual disposal of properties held for sale are reported as discontinued operations.

     For the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from discontinued operations totaled $136.2 million and $29.1 million, respectively, which includes income from operations of $0.3 million and $7.7 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, income from discontinued operations totaled $162.2 million and $65.2 million, respectively, which includes income from operations of $5.8 million and $15.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, the income from operations included 62 properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2004. For the three and nine months ended

25

September 30, 2003, the income from operations included 134 properties that were sold or classified as held for sale in the first half of 2004 and all of 2003. Due to varying number of properties and the timing of sales, income (loss) from operations is not comparable period to period.

     During the three months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 12 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $162.1 million (which is net of $12.4 million of related taxes). During the three months ended September 30, 2003, we sold 29 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $22.1 million (which is net of $0.8 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $9.5 million and $0.6 million in impairments on assets sold or held for sale in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 32 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $182.8 million (which is net of $13.2 million of related taxes). During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we sold 51 properties, resulting in a net gain on sale of approximately $62.3 million (which is net of $5.1 million of related taxes). Additionally, we recognized $9.9 million and $8.6 million in impairments on assets sold or held for sale in the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     Gains (losses) on properties sold are determined on a property-by-property basis and are not comparable period to period due to individual property differences. We considered the properties sold, as well as the properties classified as held for sale, to be inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. See Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements for further information on discontinued operations.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle

     On March 31, 2004, we recorded a $4.0 million cumulative effect of change in accounting principle related to the implementation of FIN 46. This charge is attributable to our recognition of cumulative losses allocable to minority interest that would otherwise have resulted in minority interest deficits. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements for further information.

26

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following critical accounting policies involve our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Real estate and other long-lived assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, unless considered impaired. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a property may be impaired, we make an assessment of its recoverability by estimating the undiscounted future cash flows, excluding interest charges, of the property. If the carrying amount exceeds the aggregate undiscounted future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the property.

     Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. Several factors may adversely affect the economic performance and value of our real estate investments. These factors include:

	•		the general economic climate;
	•		competition from other apartment communities and other housing options;
	•		local conditions, such as an increase in unemployment or an increase in the supply of apartments, that might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates;
	•		changes in governmental regulations and the related cost of compliance;
	•		increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes) due to inflation and other factors, which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;
	•		changes in tax laws and housing laws, including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing;
	•		changes in market capitalization rates; and
	•		the relative illiquidity of such investments.

     Any adverse changes in these factors could cause an impairment in our long-lived assets, including real estate, goodwill and investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships. No impairment losses were recognized on held-for-use properties during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

Allowance for Losses on Notes Receivable

     We evaluate notes receivable for impairment by assessing the likelihood of collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the related loan agreement. For notes that are collateralized by real estate, our evaluation considers whether estimated cash flows from the operation and sale of the property are sufficient to pay principal and interest as scheduled in the loan agreement. We establish an allowance for losses on notes receivable when we determine that it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. In such instances, the amount of loss to be recognized is based on the estimated fair value of the collateral real estate. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we identified and recorded $0.7 million and $1.8 million in losses on notes receivable (net of recoveries), respectively, and during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003, we identified and recorded no losses and $1.5 million in losses on notes receivable (net of recoveries), respectively. We will continue to evaluate the collectibility of these notes, and we may adjust related allowances in the future due to changes in market conditions and other factors.

Capitalized Costs

     We capitalize direct and allocable indirect costs (including salaries, interest, real estate taxes and other costs) incurred in connection with redevelopment, Capital Improvement and Capital Replacement activities. We charge to expense as incurred indirect costs that do not relate to the above activities, including general and administrative expenses. The amounts capitalized depend on the volume and costs of such activities. Based on the level of capital spending during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, if capital activities had increased or decreased during the period by 10%, our income before minority interest would have increased or decreased, respectively, by $2.9 million. See further discussion under the heading “Capital Expenditures.”

27

Funds From Operations

     Funds From Operations, or FFO, is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe, when considered with the financial data determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding our performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets such as machinery, computers or other personal property. The Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, gains on dispositions of depreciable real estate related to unconsolidated entities and other, gains on dispositions of real estate from discontinued operations, net of related income taxes, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), including depreciation for unconsolidated real estate partnerships, joint ventures and discontinued operations. We calculate FFO based on the NAREIT definition, as further adjusted for amortization of management contracts and deficit distributions to minority partners. We calculate FFO (diluted) by subtracting redemption related preferred stock issuance costs and dividends on preferred stock, adding back dividends/distributions on dilutive preferred securities and adding back the interest expense on dilutive mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred securities. FFO should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash flows from operating activities, as calculated in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance or as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of real estate investment trusts, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing FFO is comparable with that of other real estate investment trusts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, our FFO is calculated as follows (amounts in thousands):

Notes:

	(1)		Represents our numerator for earnings per common share calculated in accordance with GAAP
	(2)		“Minority partners’ interest” means minority interest in our consolidated real estate partnerships

28

(3)

Represents our denominator for earnings per common share — diluted calculated in accordance with GAAP plus additional common share equivalents that are dilutive for FFO.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through the sale or maturity of existing assets or by the acquisition of additional funds through working capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective working capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from property sales and proceeds from refinancings of existing mortgage loans and borrowings under new mortgage loans.

     Our principal uses for liquidity include normal operating activities, payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt, capital expenditures, dividends paid to stockholders and distributions paid to partners, and acquisitions of, and investments in, properties. We use our cash provided by operating activities to meet short-term liquidity needs. In the event that the cash provided by operating activities no longer covers our short-term liquidity demands, we have additional means, such as short-term borrowing availability, proceeds from property sales and refinancings, to help us meet our short-term liquidity demands. We use our outstanding revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the Revolver, for general corporate purposes and to fund investments on an interim basis. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements, such as debt maturities and property acquisitions, through long-term borrowings, both secured and unsecured, the issuance of debt or equity securities (including OP Units), the sale of properties and cash generated from operations.

     At September 30, 2004, we had $122.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $8.1 million from December 31, 2003. At September 30, 2004, we had $273.1 million of restricted cash (including $3.9 million of restricted cash that is included within Assets Held for Sale), primarily consisting of reserves and escrows held by lenders for bond sinking funds, capital expenditures, property taxes and insurance. In addition, cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are held by partnerships that are not presented on a consolidated basis. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing and financing activities, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our net cash provided by operating activities of $302.6 million was primarily due to operating income from our consolidated properties, which is determined by rental rates, occupancy levels and operating expenses related to our portfolio of properties. This was a decrease of $101.5 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2003, driven by lower property operating results and changes in operating assets and liabilities. These changes were primarily the result of an increase in our prepaid insurance accounts as a result of premiums paid and an increase in restricted cash related to certain operating escrows.

Investing Activities

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, our net cash provided by investing activities of $148.9 million was primarily related to dispositions of real estate, offset by the acquisitions of The Palazzo at Park La Brea and several other properties (see Note 3 of the consolidated financial statements for further information on acquisitions), as well as investments in our existing real estate assets through capital spending (see further discussion on capital expenditures under the heading “Capital Expenditures”).

     Although we hold all of our properties for investment, we sell properties when they do not meet our investment criteria or are located in areas that we believe do not justify continued investment, when compared to alternative uses for our capital. In the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we sold 32 consolidated properties, 2 land parcels and 35 unconsolidated properties. These properties were sold for an aggregate sales price of $857.1 million. The sale of these consolidated properties generated proceeds, after payment of transaction costs and deposits into tax-free exchange accounts, of $628.1 million. Our share of the total net proceeds from the sale of the 67 properties and land parcels, after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $369.2 million. These proceeds were used to repay a portion of our outstanding short-term indebtedness and for other corporate purposes.

29

     We are currently marketing for sale certain real estate properties that are inconsistent with our long-term investment strategy. Additionally, from time to time, we may market certain properties that are consistent with our long-term investment strategy but offer attractive pricing alternatives. Proceeds from 2004 dispositions have exceeded the levels of 2003, and we have used such proceeds to reduce debt, fund capital expenditures on existing assets, fund property and partnership acquisitions, and for other operating needs and corporate purposes.

Financing Activities

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in financing activities of $443.4 million primarily related to payments on our secured notes payable, the payoff of the term loan we entered into with a syndicate of financial institutions in connection with the Casden Merger in March 2002, which we refer to as the Casden Loan, payment of our dividends, and redemptions of mandatorily redeemable preferred securities, the 9.0% Class P Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock and the partial redemption of the 9.0% Class N Convertible Cumulative Preferred Stock. These were offset by proceeds from the issuance of 7.75% Class U Cumulative Preferred Stock, 8.0% Class V Cumulative Preferred Stock and mortgage loans (see Note 6 of the consolidated financial statements for further information on preferred stock activity).

     Mortgage Debt

     At September 30, 2004, we had $5.6 billion in consolidated mortgage debt outstanding as compared to $5.2 billion outstanding at December 31, 2003. During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we refinanced or closed mortgage loans on 25 consolidated properties generating $350.3 million of proceeds from borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 4.39%. Our share of the net proceeds after repayment of existing debt, payment of transaction costs and distributions to limited partners, was $112.3 million. In addition, we closed mortgage loans on 18 unconsolidated properties, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.88%. Our share of the net proceeds from these 18 mortgage loans totaled $20.3 million and are included in our distributions received from investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships within investing activities. We used our total net proceeds from all loans closed of $132.6 million to repay existing short-term debt and for other corporate purposes. We intend to continue to refinance mortgage debt to generate proceeds in amounts exceeding our scheduled amortizations and maturities.

     During the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we closed mortgage loans totaling $126.8 million, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.40%, to finance three of our acquisitions.

     Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

     Our Revolver was comprised of a syndicate of financial institutions having aggregate lending commitments of $445 million. At September 30, 2004, the Revolver had an outstanding principal balance of $168.4 million and an interest rate of 4.95% based on weighted average LIBOR contracts outstanding with various maturities plus 3.10%. The amount available under the Revolver at September 30, 2004 was $258.4 million (after giving effect to $18.2 million outstanding for undrawn letters of credit issued under the Revolver). On November 2, 2004, we entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions. The Credit Agreement amends and restates our two separate existing loan facilities. Upon entering into the new Credit Agreement we borrowed $145.0 million of revolving loans, which currently bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.75%. Proceeds from the revolving loans made on the closing date were used to repay outstanding loans under the previous loan facilities. The proceeds of future revolving loans are generally permitted to be used to fund general working capital and other corporate purposes. See Note 12 of the consolidated financial statements for detailed information on the Credit Agreement.

     In May 2003, we borrowed $250 million through a syndicated term loan, which we refer to as the Term Loan. At September 30, 2004, the Term Loan had an outstanding principal balance of $250 million and an interest rate of 4.70% (based on a designated LIBOR rate plus 3.10%). Upon entering into the new Credit Agreement on November 2, 2004, this Term Loan was repaid and we borrowed $300.0 million of new term loans, which bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.0%. Proceeds from the Term Loans were used to repay the outstanding loans under our previous loan facilities, and for other corporate purposes.

     During September of 2004, the remaining balance on the Casden Loan of $93.0 million was paid off and there was no outstanding balance as of September 30, 2004. At September 30, 2004, we were in compliance with all of our covenant requirements.

30

Capital Expenditures

     Effective January 1, 2004, we classify all capital spending as either Capital Replacements (which we refer to as CR), Capital Improvements (which we refer to as CI) or redevelopment. These categories replace our prior capital spending categories — capital replacements, capital enhancements, redevelopment, initial capital expenditures, and disposition capital expenditures. We believe the new classifications are simpler to apply, allow more discrete differentiation between categories, facilitate sound economic decisions, and assist investors and analysts in better understanding our capital spending.

     Non-redevelopment capitalizable expenditures are apportioned between CR and CI based on the useful life of the capital item under consideration and the period we have owned the property (i.e., the portion that was consumed during our ownership of the item represents CR; the portion of the item that was consumed prior to our ownership represents CI).

     For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we spent a total of $54.4 million on CR. These are expenditures that do not increase the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition, but represent the share of expenditures that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we spent a total of $51.1 million and $50.6 million, respectively, on CI and redevelopment. CI expenditures represent all non-redevelopment capital expenditures that are made to enhance the value, profitability or useful life of an asset from its original purchase condition, and redevelopment expenditures represent expenditures that substantially upgrade the property.

     The table below details our share of actual spending, on both consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, for CR, CI and redevelopment for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 on a per unit and total dollar basis (based on approximately 158,000 ownership equivalent units), and reconciles it to our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the same period (in thousands, except per unit amounts).
