OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

Founded in 1994, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Memphis, Tennessee-based self-administered and self-managed umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that focuses on acquiring, owning and operating apartment communities.  Between 1994 and December 31, 2003, the Company increased the number of properties of which it is the sole owner from 22 to 124 properties with 34,686 apartment units, representing an increase of 29,106 apartment units.  The Company is also a participant in a joint venture with Crow Holdings, Mid-America CH/Realty LP (“CH/Realty”).  CH/Realty owned three properties with 1,048 apartment units at December 31, 2003.  The Company retains a 33.33% ownership interest in the joint venture and is paid a management fee of 4% of revenues from the apartment communities owned by the joint venture.   

The Company’s business is conducted principally through Mid-America Apartments, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”).  The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, holding 201,502 common units of partnership interest (“Common Units”) comprising a 1% general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2003.  The Company’s wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiary, MAC II of Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a limited partner in the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2003, held 17,010,015 Common Units, or 84.42% of all outstanding Common Units.

The Company employed 1,069 full time and 82 part time employees at December 31, 2003.

OPERATING PHILOSOPHY

The Company’s primary objective is to maintain a stable cash flow that will fund its dividend through all parts of the real estate investment cycle.  The Company focuses on growing through its existing investments and, when accretive to cash flow and shareholder value, through external investments.

INVESTMENT FOCUS.  The Company’s primary investment focus is on apartment communities in the Southeastern United States and Texas.  Between 1994 and 1997, the Company grew largely through the acquisition and redevelopment of existing communities.  Between 1998 and 2000, its concentration was on development of new communities. 

2



The Company’s present focus is on the acquisition of properties that it believes can be repositioned with appropriate use of capital and its operating management skills. The Company is also interested in increasing its investment in properties in larger and faster growing markets within its current market area to balance its portfolio between small, middle and large-tier markets, and intends to do this through acquiring apartment communities with the potential for above average growth and return through investments in joint ventures and in direct purchases. The Company will continue its established process of selling mature assets, and will adapt its investment focus to opportunities and markets.

HIGH QUALITY ASSETS.  The Company maintains its assets in excellent condition, believing that continuous maintenance will lead to higher long-run returns on investment.  It believes that being recognized by civic and industry trade organizations for the high quality of its properties, landscaping, and property management will lead to higher rents and profitability.  The Company periodically sells assets selectively in order to ensure that its portfolio consists only of high quality, well-located assets within its market area.

DIVERSIFIED MARKET FOCUS.  The Company believes the stability of its cash flow is enhanced and it will generate higher risk adjusted cash flow returns with lower volatility through its diversified investments over large, middle and small-tier markets throughout the southeastern United States and Texas.

INTENSIVE MANAGEMENT FOCUS.  The Company strongly emphasizes on-site property management. Particular attention is paid to opportunities to increase rents, raise average occupancy rates, and control costs.  Property managers and regional managers are given the responsibility for monitoring market trends and the discretion to react to such trends.  The Company, as part of its intense management focus, has established a number of training programs to produce highly competent property managers, leasing consultants and service technicians who work on-site at the Company’s apartment communities (the “Communities”) to generate the highest possible income from the Company’s assets.

DECENTRALIZED OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE.  The Company operates in a decentralized manner.  Management believes that its decentralized operating structure capitalizes on specific market knowledge, provides greater personal accountability than a centralized structure and is beneficial in the acquisition, redevelopment and development processes.  To support this decentralized operational structure, senior and executive management are proactively involved in supporting and reviewing property operations through extensive asset management programs and frequent on-site visitations. The Company is currently in the process of installing a new web-based property management system which increases the amount of information shared between senior and executive management and the properties, and does so on a real time basis, improving the support provided to the operating environment. 

PROACTIVE  BALANCE SHEET AND PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT

The Company focuses on maximizing the return on assets and adding to the intrinsic underlying value of each share of the Company’s common stock, routinely reviewing each asset based on its determined value and selling those which no longer fit its investment criteria.  The Company constantly evaluates the effectiveness of its capital allocations and makes adjustments to its strategy, including investing in existing and new apartment communities, debt retirement, and repurchases or issuances of shares of the Company’s preferred and common stock.

3



STRATEGIES

The Company seeks to increase operating cash flow and earnings per share to maximize shareholder value through a balanced strategy of internal and external growth.

OPERATING GROWTH STRATEGY.  Management’s goal is to maximize the Company’s return on investment in each Community by increasing rental rates and reducing operating expenses while maintaining high occupancy levels.  The Company seeks higher net rental revenues by enhancing and maintaining the competitiveness of the Communities and managing expenses through its system of detailed management reporting and accountability in order to achieve increases in operating cash flow.  The steps taken to meet these objectives include:

empowering the Company’s property managers to adjust rents in response to local market conditions and to concentrate resident turnover during peak rental demand months;

 

 

offering new services to residents, including telephone, cable, and internet access, on which the Company generates fee and commission income;

 

 

implementing programs to control expenses through investment in cost-saving initiatives, such as the installation of individual apartment unit water and utility meters in certain Communities;

 

 

analyzing individual asset productivity performances to identify best practices and improvement areas;

 

 

improving the “curb appeal” of the Communities through extensive landscaping and exterior improvements and repositioning Communities from time to time to maintain market leadership positions;

 

 

compensating employees through performance-based compensation and stock ownership programs;

 

 

maintaining a hands-on management style and “flat” organizational structure that emphasizes senior management’s continued close contact with the market and employees;

 

 

selling or exchanging underperforming assets and repurchasing or issuing shares of common and preferred stock when cost of capital and asset values permit;

 

 

allocating additional capital where the investment will generate the highest returns for the Company; and

 

 

developing new ancillary income programs aimed at delivering new consumer services and products to its residents while generating fee income for the Company.

JOINT VENTURE STRATEGY.  One of the Company’s strategies is to co-invest with private capital partners in joint venture opportunities which enable it to obtain a higher return on its investment through management fees, which leverages the Company’s recognized skills in acquiring, repositioning, redeveloping and managing multifamily investments. In addition, the joint venture investment strategy provides a platform for creating more capital diversification and lower investment risk for the Company. The Company is actively seeking attractively priced opportunities in which it and its joint venture partner

4



can invest.  The Company established a joint venture in 2002 with Crow Holdings and established a second joint venture with Crow Holdings in early 2004.

DISPOSITION STRATEGY.  The Company is committed to the selective disposition of mature assets, defined as those apartment communities that no longer meet the Company’s investment criteria and long-term strategic objectives.  Typically, the Company selects assets for disposition that do not meet its present investment criteria including future return on investment, location, market, potential for growth, and capital needs.

On July 10, 2003, the Company sold the Crossings apartments, an 80-unit apartment community in Memphis, Tennessee, that was built in 1973.

ACQUISITION STRATEGY.  One of the Company’s growth strategies is to acquire and redevelop apartment communities that meet its investment criteria and focus as discussed above. The Company has extensive experience and research-based skills in the acquisition and repositioning of multifamily properties. In addition, the Company will acquire newly built and developed properties that can be purchased on a favorable pricing basis. The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities that arise, and will utilize this strategy to increase the share of its assets in faster growing and larger markets in the Southeast and Texas.

On January 20, 2003, CH/Realty acquired The Preserve at Arbor Lakes, a 284-unit apartment community in Jacksonville, Florida. 

On February 7, 2003, the Company acquired the Green Oaks apartments, a 300-unit apartment community located in Grand Prairie, Texas.  On May 1, 2003 the Company transferred the Green Oaks apartments to CH/Realty.

On May 6, 2003, the Company acquired the Jefferson Pines apartments, a 308-unit apartment community located in Houston, Texas.

On August 25, 2003, the Company purchased the limited partnership interest held by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Blackstone”) in BRE/MAAC Associates, LLC (“BreMaac”), a joint venture between the Company and Blackstone which owned 10 properties containing 2,793 apartment units.

On September 30, 2003, the Company acquired Los Rios Park apartments, a 498-unit community located in Plano, Texas.

On December 3, 2003, the Company acquired the Lighthouse Court apartments, a 501-unit community located in Jacksonville, Florida.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY.  In late 1997, the Company’s emphasis shifted from acquisitions to development because of its belief that under then-current market conditions, such development would generate higher quality assets and higher long-term investment returns.  In 2002, the Company completed a $300 million construction program of high quality apartments in several markets.  This represents the completion of the development program initiated in 1997.  In 1999, management decided to exit the construction and development business upon completion of the Company’s existing development pipeline after determining that market conditions were changing, making it unlikely that future proposed projects would meet the Company’s profitability targets over the next few years.

5



As of December 31, 2003, the Company had no properties in development.  The Company periodically evaluates opportunities for profitable future development investments.

COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK. 

The Company continuously reviews opportunities for lowering its cost of capital, and increasing value per share. The Company evaluates opportunities to repurchase stock when it believes that its stock price is below the value of its assets and accordingly repurchased common stock, funded by asset sales, between 1999 and 2001. The Company also looks for opportunities where it can acquire or develop communities, selectively funded by stock sales, when it will add to shareholder value and the investment return is projected to substantially exceed its cost of capital. The Company also opportunistically seeks to lower its cost of capital through refinancing preferred stock and debt such as it did in 2003.

On July 10, 2003, in an underwritten public offering, the Company sold 5,600,000 shares of its 8.30% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series H”) at $25 per share less an underwriting discount of $0.7875 per share.  The net proceeds of the sale were applied to the redemption of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 9.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock and 9 3/8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as well as 1,600,000 shares of the 1,938,830 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 8 7/8% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series B”) on August 12, 2003.

On July 16, 2003, the underwriters of the Company’s Series H offering exercised an option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of the Series H preferred stock for $25 per share less the underwriting discount, and on August 4, 2003, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase the remaining additional 75,000 shares of the Series H preferred stock for $25 per share less the underwriting discount.  The net proceeds were used to redeem the remaining issued and outstanding shares of the Series B preferred stock on August 18, 2003.

On August 22, 2003, the Company sold 700,000 shares of its common stock to certain advisory clients of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $28.40 per share. The $19,870,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the purchase of the BreMaac limited partnership interest held by Blackstone.

On September 19, 2003, the Company sold 665,000 shares of its common stock to certain advisory clients of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. and to Scudder RREEF Real Estate Fund II, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $29.36 per share. The $19,500,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the purchase the Los Rios Park apartments.

On December 2, 2003, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its common stock to RREEF America, L.L.C. on behalf of itself and Scudder RREEF Real Estate Fund II, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $30.00 per share. The $11,996,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the acquisition of the Lighthouse Court apartments.

SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

In 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an increase in the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized to be repurchased to 4 million shares.  As of December 31, 2003 the Company had repurchased a total of approximately 1.86 million shares (8% of the shares of common stock and Common Units outstanding as of the beginning of the repurchase program).  From time to time the Company intends to sell assets based on its disposition strategy outlined in this Annual Report and

6



use the proceeds to repurchase shares when it believes that shareholder value is enhanced.  Factors affecting this determination include the share price, asset dispositions and pricing, financing agreements and rates of return of alternative investments.  No shares were repurchased during 2002 or 2003 under this plan.

COMPETITION

All of the Company’s Communities are located in areas that include other apartment communities.  Occupancy and rental rates are affected by the number of competitive apartment communities in a particular area.  The owners of competing apartment communities may have greater resources than the Company, and the managers of these communities may have more experience than the Company’s management.  Moreover, single-family rental housing, manufactured housing, condominiums and the new and existing home markets provide housing alternatives to potential residents of apartment communities.

Apartment communities compete on the basis of monthly rent, discounts, and facilities offered such as apartment size and amenities, and apartment community amenities, including recreational facilities, resident services, and physical property condition.  The Company makes capital improvements to both the Communities and individual apartments on a regular basis in order to maintain a competitive position in each individual market.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

As part of the acquisition process, the Company generally obtains environmental studies on all of its Communities from various outside environmental engineering firms.  The purpose of these studies is to identify potential sources of contamination at the Communities and to assess the status of environmental regulatory compliance.  These studies generally include historical reviews of the Communities, reviews of certain public records, preliminary investigations of the sites and surrounding properties, visual inspection for the presence of asbestos, PCBs and underground storage tanks and the preparation and issuance of written reports.  Depending on the results of these studies, more invasive procedures, such as soil sampling or ground water analysis, will be performed to investigate potential sources of contamination.  These studies must be satisfactorily completed before the Company takes ownership of an acquisition property, however, no assurance can be given that the studies identify all significant environmental problems.

Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on properties.  Such laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner caused or knew of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances and whether or not the storage of such substances was in violation of a resident’s lease.  Furthermore, the cost of remediation and removal of such substances may be substantial, and the presence of such substances, or the failure to promptly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral.

The Company is aware of environmental concerns specifically relating to potential issues resulting from mold in residential properties and has in place an active management and preventive maintenance program that includes procedures specifically related to mold.  The Company has established a policy requiring residents to sign a mold addendum to lease.  The Company has also purchased a $2 million insurance policy that covers remediation and exposure to mold.  The current policy expires in 2007, but is renewable at that time. The Company, therefore, believes that its exposure to this issue is limited and controlled.

7



The environmental studies received by the Company have not revealed any material environmental liabilities.  The Company is not aware of any existing conditions that would currently be considered an environmental liability.  Nevertheless, it is possible that the studies do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware.  Moreover, no assurance can be given concerning future laws, ordinances or regulations, or the potential introduction of hazardous or toxic substances by neighboring properties or residents.

The Company believes that its Communities are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances and other environmental matters.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

DISTRIBUTION.  In January 2004, the Company announced a quarterly distribution to common shareholders of $.585 per share, paid on January 31, 2004.

ACQUISITIONS.  On January 15, 2004, the Company established a second joint venture with Crow Holdings, Mid-America CH/Realty II LP (“CH/Realty II”) which acquired the Jefferson at Timberglen apartments, a 522-unit community in Dallas, Texas. 

On January 23, 2004, the Company acquired the Monthaven Park Apartments, a 456-unit community located in Hendersonville, Tennessee.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company and its joint venture seek to acquire apartment communities located in the southeastern United States and Texas that are primarily appealing to middle income residents with the potential for above average growth and return on investment.  Approximately 75% of the Company’s apartment units are located in Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and Texas markets. The Company’s strategic focus is to provide its residents high quality apartment units in attractive community settings, characterized by extensive landscaping and attention to aesthetic detail. The Company utilizes its experience and expertise in maintenance, landscaping, marketing and management to effectively “reposition” many of the apartment communities it acquires to raise occupancy levels and per unit average rents. 

The following table sets forth certain historical information for the Communities the Company owned or maintained an ownership interest in, including the 3 properties containing 1,048 apartment units owned by the Company’s joint venture, at December 31, 2003:

The Company’s quarterly dividend rate is currently $0.585 per common share.  The Board of Directors reviews and declares the dividend rate quarterly.  Actual dividends made by the Company will be affected by a number of factors, including the gross revenues received from the Communities, the operating expenses of the Company, the interest expense incurred on borrowings and unanticipated capital expenditures.

The Company currently pays a preferential regular distribution on the Series F, Series G and Series H Preferred Stock at annual rates of $2.3125, $2.15625 and $2.075 per share, respectively.  No distribution may be made on the Company’s common stock unless all accrued distributions have been made with respect to each series of the Company’s preferred stock.  No assurance can be given that the Company

12



will be able to maintain its distribution rate on its common stock or make required distributions with respect to the Series F, Series G and Series H Preferred Stock.

Future distributions by the Company will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on the actual funds available for distribution of the Company, its financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and such other factors as the Board of Directors deems relevant.

The Company has established the Direct Stock Purchase and Distribution Reinvestment Plan (the “DSPDRP”) under which holders of common stock (and Series F, Series G and Series H Preferred Stock) can elect automatically to reinvest their distributions in additional shares of common stock and/or to make optional purchases of common stock free of brokerage commissions and charges of at least $250, but not more than $5,000 in any given month.  To fulfill its obligations under the DSPDRP, the Company may either issue additional shares of common stock or repurchase common stock in the open market.  The Company may elect to sell shares under the DSPDRP at up to a 5% discount, but did not sell any shares at a discount in 2003. 

Information related to securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans as required in paragraph (d)(2) of this Item is incorporated by reference to the Company’s definitive proxy statement to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This and other sections of this Annual Report contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about anticipated growth rate of revenues and expenses, planned asset dispositions, disposition pricing, and planned acquisition and developments.  Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report on Form 10-K will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the objectives and plans of the Company will be achieved.

The following are risks that the Company believes could cause results to differ from projected or forecasted results or could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

The Company’s ability to make distributions may be adversely affected by factors beyond its control

The Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow in order to pay common dividends to its shareholders depends on its ability to generate funds from operations in excess of capital expenditure requirements and common dividends, and/or to have access to the markets for debt and equity financing. Funds from operations and the value of the Company’s properties may be less because of factors which are beyond the Company’s control. Such events or conditions could include:

competition from other apartment communities;

 

 

overbuilding of new apartment units or oversupply of available apartment units in the Company’s markets, which might adversely affect apartment occupancy or rental rates and/or require rent concessions in order to lease apartment units;

 

 

increases in operating costs (including real estate taxes and insurance premiums) due to inflation and other factors, which may not be offset by increased rents;

 

 

the Company’s inability to rent apartments on favorable economic terms;

 

 

changes in governmental regulations and the related costs of compliance;

 

 

changes in tax laws and housing laws including the enactment of rent control laws or other laws regulating multifamily housing;

 

 

changes in interest rate levels and the availability of financing, which could lead renters to purchase homes (if interest rates drop and home loans are more readily available) or increase the Company’s acquisition and operating costs (if interest rates increase and financing is less readily available);

15



 

 

 

weakness in the overall economy which lowers job growth and the associated demand for apartment housing;

 

 

 

decisions relating to the dispositions of assets by the Company’s joint ventures; and

 

 

 

the relative illiquidity of real estate investments. 

Currently, the Company relies on external funding sources to fully fund the payment of distributions to shareholders at the current rate.  While the Company has sufficient liquidity to permit distributions at current rates through additional borrowings, any significant and sustained deterioration in operations could result in the Company’s financial resources being insufficient to pay distributions to shareholders at the current rate, in which event the Company would be required to cut the distribution rate.  Any decline in the Company’s funds from operations or property values because of these factors which are beyond its control could adversely affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s stock price.

Debt level and refinancing risk may adversely affect financial condition and operating results

At December 31, 2003, the Company had total debt outstanding of $951.9 million. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave the Company with insufficient cash resources to operate the Communities or pay distributions required to be paid in order for the Company to maintain its qualification as a REIT. The Company currently intends to limit its total debt to around 60% of the undepreciated book value of its assets, although the Company’s charter and bylaws do not limit its debt levels. Circumstances may cause the Company to exceed that target from time to time. As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s ratio of debt to undepreciated book value was approximately 54%. The Company’s Board of Directors can modify this policy at any time which could allow the Company to become more highly leveraged and decrease its ability to make distributions to its shareholders.  In addition, the Company must repay its debt upon maturity, and the inability to access debt or equity capital at attractive rates could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and/or its funds from operations.

Variable interest rates may adversely affect our funds from operations

At December 31, 2003, effectively $216.6 million of the Company’s debt bore interest at a variable rate and was unhedged and uncapped. In addition, the Company may incur additional debt in the future that also bears interest at variable rates. Variable-rate debt creates higher debt service requirements if market interest rates increase, which would adversely affect the Company’s funds from operations and the amounts available to pay distributions to shareholders.  The Company’s $611 million secured credit facility with Prudential Mortgage Capital, credit enhanced by Fannie Mae, is predominately a floating rate facility, the interest rates on which have been hedged by means of a number of interest rate swaps and caps.  Upon the termination of these swaps and caps, the Company will be exposed to the risks of varying interest rates.

Increasing insurance costs may negatively impact financial condition

Because the Company has substantial real estate holdings, the cost of insuring its communities is a significant component of expense.  Premiums for property and casualty insurance have risen significantly in recent years.  If the cost of property and casualty insurance continues to rise, its cost of doing business

16



would likely rise, which may in turn negatively impact the Company’s financial condition and its ability to pay its dividend.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances.  The Company believes that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions under different future conditions. 

The Company believes that the estimates and assumptions that are most important to the portrayal of its financial condition and results of operations, in that they require the most subjective judgments, form the basis of accounting policies deemed to be most critical.  These critical accounting policies include capitalization of expenditures and depreciation of assets, impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and fair value of derivative financial instruments.

Capitalization of expenditures and depreciation of assets

The Company carries its real estate assets at their depreciated cost.  Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 8 to 40 years for land improvements and buildings, to 5 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and 3 years for computers, all of which are judgmental determinations.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized.  The cost to complete any deferred repairs and maintenance at properties acquired by the Company in order to elevate the condition of the property to the Company’s standards are capitalized as incurred.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (Statement 144) and evaluates its goodwill for impairment under Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (Statement 142). The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if a goodwill impairment indicator is identified. The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in real estate and goodwill, for indicators that would suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The judgments regarding the existence of such indicators are based on factors such as operating performance, market conditions, and legal factors. 

To evaluate goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, the Company estimates future operating cash flows and uses these cash flow estimates to determine the asset’s fair value. In the apartment industry, the primary method used for determining fair values is to divide annual operating cash flows by an appropriate capitalization rate. The Company determines the appropriate capitalization rate by reviewing the prevailing rates in the Community’s market or submarket.

17



Fair value of derivative financial instruments

The Company utilizes certain derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps, during the normal course of business to manage, or hedge, the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate debt or as hedges in anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk associated with the transaction.  The valuation of the derivative financial instruments under SFAS No. 133 requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments.

In order for a derivative contract to be designated as a hedging instrument, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item must be highly effective. The Company performs effectiveness tests using the change in the variable cash flows method at the inception of the hedge and for each reporting period thereafter, through the term of the hedging instruments. Any amounts determined to be ineffective are recorded in earnings.  The fair value of the hedges are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income.

While the Company’s calculation of hedge effectiveness contains some subjective determinations, the historical correlation of the cash flows of the hedging instruments and the underlying hedged item are measured by the Company before entering into the hedging relationship and have been highly related.     

OVERVIEW OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003

The Company’s operating results for 2003 were impacted by continued economic weakness. The Company believes that the primary factor impacting demand for its apartments is job formation, which was slightly negative or static in most of the Company’s markets during 2003. This reduced the occupancy of its apartments, affected its ability to grow rents, and increased the amount of concessions that it had to offer to attract residents. Advertising and marketing expenditures also had to be increased to attract new residents. The Company regards single family housing as the primary competition for its existing residents, and low interest rates that existed throughout the year allowed its residents to purchase homes and impacted the Company’s occupancy rates. The Company began to see some improvement in the fourth quarter and expects operations to improve as the economy improves.

Offsetting the impact to operations, the Company was able to continue its debt refinancing strategy and take advantage of the low interest rate environment by reducing the interest rates on its variable rate debt. As a result, the Company was able to lower its average interest rate and experienced interest expense savings. The Company was also able to lower the dividend payments on its preferred stock by redeeming the Preferred Series A, B & C and issuing a new series of preferred stock, Series H at a lower yield.

The Company achieved external growth during 2003 by following its acquisition strategy to invest in large and mid-sized growing markets in the southeastern United States and in Texas. The Company made acquisitions both directly and through a joint venture partnership with Crow Holdings. The Company also purchased the 2/3 share of its joint venture owned by Blackstone Real Estate Advisors that was formed in 1999. The Company funded part of these purchases through some selective direct sales of shares of common stock.

The financings and acquisitions made during 2003 helped the Company continue its strategy of improving the flexibility of its balance sheet and enhancing its ability to strengthen its dividend coverage.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with all of the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

As of December 31, 2003, the total number of apartment units the Company owned or had an ownership interest in, including the properties owned by the Company’s joint ventures was 35,734 in 127 Communities, compared to the 33,923 apartment units in 123 Communities owned at December 31, 2002, and the 33,411 apartment units in 122 Communities owned at December 31, 2001.  For properties owned 100% by the Company, the average monthly rental per apartment unit, excluding units in lease-up, increased to $667 at December 31, 2003 from $661 at December 31, 2002 and $660 at December 31, 2001.  For these same units, overall occupancy at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was 92.7%, 91.9%, and 92.7%, respectively. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002

Comparisons of income from property operations for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 were impacted by four main factors. First, as a result of the buyout of the partnership interest in Bre/Maac Associates, LLC, (the “BRE/MAAC Buyout”), the Company’s joint venture with Blackstone Real Estate Advisors (“Blackstone”), the Company’s consolidated financials for 2003 include the impact of approximately four months of operations of the 10 properties which were previously owned by the joint venture and accounted for using the equity method. Second, the Company acquired four properties in 2003 (one of which was subsequently transferred to Mid-America CH/Realty, LP, the Company’s joint venture with Crow Holdings). Third, during the years 2003 and 2002, the Company still had three development communities which were in various stages of lease-up. Finally, the Company’s performance during 2003 and 2002 was impacted by changes in performance of the communities that were held throughout both periods.

Property revenues for 2003 increased by approximately $7,713,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $6,156,000 from the BRE/MAAC Buyout, (ii) $3,841,000 from the acquisitions of Green Oaks, Los Rios Park, Legacy Pines and Lighthouse Court apartments in 2003 (the “2003 Acquisitions”), and (iii) $1,431,000 from the development communities.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in property revenues of $3,715,000 from the communities owned throughout both periods.

Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping and other property related costs.  As a percentage of total property revenues, property operating expenses increased to 42.0% in 2003 compared to 40% in 2002.  Property operating expenses for 2003 increased by approximately $7,996,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $2,999,000 due to the BRE/MAAC Buyout, (ii) $2,796,000 from the communities held throughout both periods, (iii) $1,908,000 due to the 2003 Acquisitions, and (iv) $293,000 due to the development communities.

Included in the above is real estate taxes and insurance which increased approximately $2,994,000 from 2002 to 2003 due to increases of (i) $1,220,000 due to increased insurance costs associated with the renewal of the Company’s property and casualty insurance and (ii) $1,774,000 due to increases in real estate taxes, $1,393,000 of which was related to the BRE/MAAC Buyout and 2003 Acquisitions.

19



Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $3,908,000 from the prior year primarily due to increases of (i) $2,304,000 due to the BRE/MAAC Buyout, (ii) $1,460,000 due to the 2003 Acquisitions, (iii) $120,000 due to the communities owned throughout both periods and (iv) $24,000 from the development communities. 

General and administrative expense increased 8.6% or $570,000 as compared to the prior year. This increase was mainly related to increased compensation incentives and salaries, partially related to the addition of new personnel hired to address recent regulatory requirements. 

Property management expenses decreased 2.3% or $198,000 as compared to the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to reductions in bonuses.

Interest expense decreased approximately $3,416,000 from 2002 due primarily to the Company’s ability to take advantage of the decline in interest rates in 2002 and 2003.  The Company’s average borrowing cost at December 31, 2003 was 5.4% as compared to 5.8% on December 31, 2002.  

For the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, the Company recorded net gains on disposition of assets and insurance settlement proceeds totaling $2,942,000, mainly related to insurance settlements from the fire at the Company headquarters in March 2002, and $397,000, primarily related to insurance settlements, respectively. 

In 2003 and 2002, the Company refinanced several of its communities primarily to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment.  This resulted in a gain of $111,000 related to the early extinguishment of debt in 2003 and a loss of approximately $1,444,000 in 2002. 

In 2003, the Company recorded a gain on discontinued operations of $1,919,000 related to the sale of the Crossings apartments in 2003.  No properties were sold in 2002.

As a result of the foregoing, net income increased by $4,065,000 in 2003 over 2002.

COMPARISON OF THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 TO THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001

Property revenues for 2002 increased by approximately $955,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $2,707,000 from the development communities and (ii) $1,424,000 from the acquisition of the Preston Hills apartments in 2002 (“2002 Acquisitions”).  These increases were partially offset by decreases of (i) $2,104,000 due to the sales of the Advantages and Canyon Creek apartments in 2001 (“2001 Dispositions”), and (ii) $1,072,000 from the communities owned throughout both periods.

Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping and other property related costs.  As a percentage of total property revenues, property operating expenses increased to 40.0% in 2002 compared to 38.7% in 2001.  Property operating expenses for 2002 increased by approximately $3,306,000 due primarily to increases of (i) $589,000 due to the development communities, (ii) $571,000 due to the 2002 Acquisitions, and (iii) $3,021,000 due to the communities owned throughout both periods.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $875,000 from the 2001 Dispositions.

Included in the above is real estate taxes and insurance which increased approximately $2,354,000 from 2001 to 2002 due to increases of (i) $1,598,000 due to increased insurance costs associated with the

20



renewal of the Company’s property and casualty insurance and (ii) $756,000 due to increases in real estate taxes.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by approximately $3,185,000 from the prior year primarily due to increases of (i) $874,000 due to the development communities, (ii) $374,000 due to the 2002 Acquisitions and (iii) $2,279,000 due to the communities owned throughout both periods.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $342,000 from the 2001 Dispositions. 

General and administrative expense increased 2.2% or $143,000 as compared to the prior year.  Increases in D&O insurance premiums, bank service charges due to the reduction of cash balances held by the Company throughout the year, increased compensation incentives, increased software maintenance expense, and increased legal and director fees due to new regulatory and compliance requirements were partially offset by a decrease in airplane repairs from the prior year and the absence of an airplane lease in 2002 following the purchase of a plane to reduce expenses. 

Property management expenses decreased 9.7% or $928,000 as compared to the prior year.  The decrease was mainly due to reductions in bonuses and salaries, reduced health insurance costs and reduced franchise and excise taxes from 2001 which year included a one-time franchise and excise tax settlement.

Interest expense decreased approximately $3,150,000 from 2001 due primarily to the Company’s ability to take advantage of the decline in interest rates in the second half of 2001 and throughout 2002.  The Company’s average borrowing cost at December 31, 2002 was 5.8% as compared to 6.3% on December 31, 2001.  The average maturity on the Company’s debt was 10.9 years at December 31, 2002.  Amortization of deferred financing costs was $2,712,000 and $2,352,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company recorded a net gain on disposition of assets and insurance settlement proceeds totaling $397,000 primarily related to insurance settlements.  For the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company recorded a net gain on disposition of assets and insurance settlement proceeds totaling $11,933,000 primarily related to the disposition of two properties during the year. 

In 2002 and 2001, the Company refinanced several of its communities primarily to take advantage of the lower interest rate environment.  This resulted in a loss of approximately $1,444,000 due to the early extinguishment of debt in 2002 and approximately $1,189,000 in 2001. 

As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased by $12,557,000 in 2002 over 2001.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or “GAAP”) excluding extraordinary items, minority interest in Operating Partnership income, gain or loss on sale of discontinued operations and insurance settlement proceeds, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, and adjustments for joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.  This definition of FFO is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) recommended definition.

The Company’s policy is to expense the cost of interior painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds as incurred for stabilized properties.  During the stabilization period for acquisition properties, these items are

21



capitalized as part of the total repositioning program of newly acquired properties, and, thus are not deducted in calculating FFO.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance, as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of liquidity.  The Company believes that FFO is helpful in understanding the Company’s operating performance in that such calculation excludes depreciation expense on real estate assets.  The Company believes that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost depreciation implies.  The Company’s calculation of FFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. 

The following table is a reconciliation of FFO to net income for the three years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (dollars and shares in thousands):

Net income increased during 2003 by approximately $4,065,000 to $20,206,000 versus $16,141,000 in 2002, principally because of reduced interest expenses, a $1,919,000 gain on the sale of the Crossings apartments which is classified as a discontinued operation and $2,942,000 net gain on insurance settlement proceeds which were only partially offset by the increase in depreciation and amortization from acquisitions. Net income for 2001 was $28,698,000 which included a gain of $11,933,000 from dispositions of assets and insurance settlement proceeds.

22



FFO increased during 2003 by approximately $2,014,000 to $55,367,000 versus $53,353,000 in 2002 principally because of reduced interest expense.  FFO for 2001 was $56,023,000. FFO for 2003 and 2002 included charges of $5,987,000 and $2,041,000, respectively, for premiums and original issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred stock.

TRENDS

Property performance over the past two years has been pressured by an imbalance between supply and demand for apartment units in many of the Company’s markets.  The recent economic downturn and the related low interest rate environment have combined to contribute to a temporary decline in demand for apartment units, while allowing delivery levels of newly constructed apartment units to remain consistent with historical averages. 

The recent economic environment has impacted demand in two main ways: 1) producing lower job growth, which reduced the number of potential renters in most of the Company’s markets, and 2) producing lower interest rates which has increased the affordability of single family housing, prompting more renters to purchase homes. 

On the supply side, the declining interest rates have provided an incentive to developers to construct new apartment units in many of the Company’s markets, especially in the larger metropolitan markets.  Delivery of these new units during this period of weakened apartment demand has increased competition, adding pressure to apartment occupancy levels and pricing in a number of the Company’s markets. 

As part of its strategy to create continued stable and growing performance, the Company maintains a portfolio of properties diversified across large metropolitan markets, mid-sized markets, and smaller tier markets, as defined by population levels.  During the recent economic downturn, the Company’s smaller tier and mid-sized markets produced more stable performance, while it’s larger metropolitan markets proved more susceptible to declining job formation and apartment supply imbalances. 

The Company is beginning to see indications of stronger job growth in many of its markets, which could indicate an improvement in the general economic environment. As the economic environment improves, the Company expects to see more household formations and increasing interest rates, which should combine to increase the number of apartment renters. 

The Company expects that this increase in demand will generate stronger property performance across the Company’s portfolio. The Company’s large-tier markets, which have been under the most pressure during the economic downturn, should begin to absorb the oversupply of new apartment units and return to historical occupancy and pricing levels, while the Company’s smaller-tier and mid-sized markets would benefit from improving market fundamentals which support continued stable growth. 

Over the long term, general demographic trends are expected to favor apartment owners, as immigration growth, combined with the increasing demand for rental housing from the “echo boomers” (children of the “baby boomers”) is expected to produce more apartment renters over the next ten years.  The Company believes its portfolio location throughout the Southeast and South central regions of the country position it well to take advantage of these improving demographic trends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow provided by operating activities remained relatively stable at $79,241,000 for 2003 compared to $81,076,000 for 2002.

23



Net cash used in investing activities grew during 2003 to $139,934,000 from $34,182,000 in 2002.  This increase was primarily due to (i) the purchase of Legacy Pines for $21,500,000, Green Oaks for $18,966,00, the partnership interest in our joint venture with Blackstone for $21,853,000, Los Rios Park for $32,500,000 and Lighthouse Court for $40,092,000 compared to one acquisition of Preston Hills in 2002 for $33,900,000, and (ii) in 2003 dispositions totaled $24,906,000, including the transfer of a 2/3 interest in Green Oaks to CH/Realty for $12,644,000, compared to dispositions of $36,841,000 in 2002.

Capital improvements to stabilized properties during the 2003 and 2002 totaled $23,211,000 and $23,083,000, respectively.  Actual capital expenditures are summarized below (dollars in thousands):

In 2002, corporate/commercial capital improvements was mainly related to the fire at the Company’s corporate headquarters in March of 2002, for which the Company was reimbursed with insurance proceeds of $5,235,000 in 2003.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $60,251,000 for 2003 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $48,492,000 in 2002.  During 2003 the Company increased its borrowings under its credit lines by $218,399,000 as compared to an increase of $60,623,000 in 2002 to accommodate refinancing activities and property acquisitions.

In 2003, the Company negotiated an increase from $550 million to $611 million in the borrowing capacity of its existing secured credit facility with Prudential Mortgage Capital, credit enhanced by Fannie Mae (the “FNMA Facility”).  The expanded capacity may be utilized only as additional collateral is pledged to secure the facility.  At December 31, 2003 the FNMA Facility had an outstanding balance of $555.7 million with an available borrowing base capacity of $596.1 million.  $303 million of the FNMA Facility expires in 2004, renewable for two successive 5-year terms, $249 million expires in 2007, and the remaining amount expires in 2008, both renewable for a 5-year term.  The Company plans to utilize the additional facility capacity to refinance debt maturities over the next 18 months.

The FNMA Facility provides for both fixed and variable rate borrowings.  The interest rate on the variable portion renews every 90 days and is based on the FNMA Discount Mortgage Backed Security (“DMBS”) rate on the date of renewal, which has typically approximated three-month LIBOR less an average spread of 0.07%, plus a credit enhancement fee of 0.60% to 0.72% based on the outstanding borrowings.  The variable interest rate at December 31, 2003 was 1.8% on variable rate borrowings of $445.7 million.  Fixed rate borrowings under the FNMA Facility totaled $110 million at December 31, 2003, at interest rates (inclusive of credit-enhancement fees) from 5.77% to 7.71%, and maturities from 2006 to 2009.

Compass Bank provides an unsecured credit facility to the Company.  Outstanding borrowings under this facility at December 31, 2003 were $20 million at a rate of 1.66%.

24



The Company currently maintains a $40 million secured credit facility with two banks led by AmSouth Bank.  There was no outstanding balance under this facility at December 31, 2003.  Available borrowing base capacity under this facility was $19.0 million at December 31, 2003.

Each of the Company’s credit facilities is subject to various covenants and conditions on usage including the maintenance of certain financial ratios The total amount of credit which is made available is governed by lender formulas defining asset valuation. If the Company were to fail to satisfy a condition to borrowing, the available credit under one or more of the facilities could not be drawn, which could adversely affect the Company’s liquidity.  Moreover, if the Company were to fail to make a payment or violate a covenant under a credit facility, after applicable cure periods one or more of its lenders could declare a default, accelerate the due date for repayment of all amounts outstanding and/or foreclose on properties securing such facilities which may cause the Company to be declared in default by its other lenders.  Any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

At December 31, 2003, the Company had a promissory note with Union Planters National Bank (“Union Planters”) for $40 million at a variable rate of 2.2%.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its current and future interest rate risk.   The Company has nine interest rate swaps with a total notional balance of $275 million which have variable legs based on one or three-month LIBOR, and fixed legs with an average rate of 6.2%.  The swaps have expirations between 2005 and 2010, and have to date proven to be highly effective hedges of the Company’s designated variable rate borrowings of its FNMA Facility.  The Company has designed these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges on its FNMA Facility.  Through the use of these swaps the Company believes it has effectively fixed the borrowing rate during these periods of $275 million of variable rate borrowings issued through the FNMA Facility, leaving only $170.7 million of the FNMA Facility of which the interest rate has not been fixed or hedged. The Company also has a $55.6 million Tax-Free Bond Facility with FNMA.  The Company has five interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of $42.7 million which have variable legs based on the BMA Municipal Swap Index and fixed legs with an average rate of 4.3%.  These swaps expire in 2007 and 2008, and have to date proven to be highly effective hedges of the designated borrowings of the Tax-Free Bond Facility. The Company also entered into a cap agreement on a notional amount of $6.8 million within the Tax-Free Bond Facility.  The 5-year cap agreement has a strike rate of 6% as indexed on the BMA Municipal Swap Index. Additionally, the Company has one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25 million which has a variable leg based on three-month LIBOR, and a fixed leg with an average rate of 4.6% which expires in 2009 and has to date proven to be a highly effective hedge of the designated borrowings of Union Planters.

The Company has also executed one forward interest rate swap with a notional balance of $40 million which goes into effect in 2004.  The variable leg of the forward interest rate swap is based on three-month LIBOR and the fixed leg has an average rate of 4.9%.  The swap expires in 2010 and is designated as a cash flow hedge on future planned refinancings.

In March 2003, the Company had approximating $151 million of debt maturing including the $142 million of bond indebtedness of Mid-America Capital Partners, L.P., which it funded by debt issued under the FNMA Facility. The rate on the maturing debt was 6.5% and the rate on the replacement debt which was partially pre-set through interest rate swaps was 5.6%. 

The weighted average interest rate and the weighted average maturity at December 31, 2003, for the $951.9 million of debt outstanding were 5.4% and 10.6 years compared to 5.8% and 10.9 years on $803.7 million of debt outstanding at December 31, 2002.

On July 10, 2003, in an underwritten public offering, the Company sold 5,600,000 shares of its 8.30% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series H”) at $25 per share less an underwriting discount of $0.7875 per share.  The net proceeds of the sale were applied to the redemption of all the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 9.5% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock and 9 3/8% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock as well as 1,600,000 shares of the 1,938,830 issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s 8 7/8% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (“Series B”) on August 12, 2003.

On July 16, 2003, the underwriters of the Company’s Series H offering exercised an option to purchase an additional 525,000 shares of the Series H preferred stock for $25 per share less the underwriting discount, and on August 4, 2003, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase the remaining additional 75,000 shares of the Series H preferred stock for $25 per share less the underwriting discount.  The net proceeds were used to redeem the remaining issued and outstanding shares of the Series B preferred stock on August 18, 2003.

On August 22, 2003, the Company sold 700,000 shares of its common stock to certain advisory clients of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $28.40 per share. The $19,870,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the purchase of the BreMaac limited partnership interest held by Blackstone.

On September 19, 2003, the Company sold 665,000 shares of its common stock to certain advisory clients of Cohen & Steers Capital Management, Inc. and to Scudder RREEF Real Estate Fund II, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $29.36 per share. The $19,500,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the purchase of the Los Rios Park apartments.

On December 2, 2003, the Company sold 400,000 shares of its common stock to RREEF America, L.L.C. on behalf of itself and Scudder RREEF Real Estate Fund II, Inc. The stock was sold at a price of $30.00 per share. The $11,996,000 in net proceeds from the sale were used to partially fund the acquisition of the Lighthouse Court apartments.

On October 16, 2002, the Company closed the sale of 470,000 shares of a new 9¼% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series F Preferred Stock”).  An additional 4,500 shares were sold as part of the underwriters option on November 8, 2002.  All of the shares were sold at $25 per share for an aggregate principal amount of $11.86 million. 

On October 28, 2002, the Company privately placed 400,000 shares of a new 8 5/8% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series G Preferred Stock”) at $25 per share for an aggregate principal amount of $10 million. On or after October 10, 2004, the Company or the investor may give the required one year’s notice to redeem or put, respectively, all or part of the Series G Preferred Stock beginning on or after October 10, 2005 in increments of $1 million.

The net proceeds from the issuances of the Series F Preferred Stock and Series G Preferred Stock along with $5 million of debt were used to repurchase and retire all of the 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock at a 7% premium (totaling $2.0 million including the write-off of previous issuance costs) for an aggregate purchase price of $26.75 million.

The Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund both its current operations, annual refurbishment of its properties, and incremental investment in new apartment properties.  The Company is relying on the efficient operation of the financial markets to finance debt maturities, and also is heavily reliant on the creditworthiness of FNMA, which provides credit enhancement for nearly $611 million of

the Company’s outstanding debt.  The market for FNMA DMBS, which in the Company’s experience is highly effective with three-month LIBOR interest rates, is also an important component of the Company’s liquidity and swap effectiveness.  In the event that the FNMA DMBS market becomes less efficient, or the credit of FNMA becomes impaired, the Company would seek alternative sources of debt financing.

The Company believes that cash provided by operations is adequate and anticipates that it will continue to be adequate in both the short and long-term to meet operating requirements (including recurring capital expenditures at the communities) and payment of distributions by the Company in accordance with REIT requirements under the Internal Revenue Code.  The Company has loan covenants that limit the total amount of distributions, but believes that it is unlikely that these will be a limiting factor on the Company’s future levels of distributions based on the Company’s current range of forecast of operating performance.  The Company expects to meet its liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage debt maturities, property acquisitions, expansions, and non-recurring capital expenditures, through collateralized borrowings, potential joint venture transactions and the Company’s credit facilities.

Currently, the Company’s operating cash flow is insufficient to fully fund the payment of distributions to shareholders at the current rate.  While the Company has sufficient liquidity to permit distributions at current rates through additional borrowings, any significant deterioration in operations could result in the Company’s financial resources to be insufficient to pay distributions to shareholders at the current rate, in which event the Company would be required to cut the distribution rate. 

The following table reflects the Company’s total contractual cash obligations which consists of its long-term debt as of December 31, 2003 (dollars in 000’s):

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as “structured finance” or “special purpose entities”, established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.  The Company’s joint venture with Blackstone (terminated in 2003) was established in order to raise capital through asset sales to fund development while acquiring management fees to help offset the reduction in FFO from the sale.  The Company’s joint venture with Crow Holdings was established to acquire approximately $150 million of multifamily properties.  In addition, the Company does not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.  As such, the Company is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in such relationships.  The Company does not have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationships with

27



the Company or its related parties other than what is disclosed in Item 8., Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11.

The Company’s investments in its real estate joint venture is unconsolidated and is recorded on the equity method as the Company does not have a controlling interest.  The Company has a mezzanine loan in the amount of $4.7 million at an average rate of 9% receivable from its joint venture, CH/Realty.

INSURANCE

The Company put in place a new property and casualty insurance program effective July 1, 2003.  The program is substantially the same as last year.  In the opinion of management, property and casualty insurance is in place that provides adequate coverage to provide financial protection against normal insurable risks such that it believes that any loss experienced would not have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity, financial position, or results of operations.

INFLATION

Substantially all of the resident leases at the Communities allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable there under, and thus may enable the Company to seek rent increases.  Almost all leases are for one year or less.  The short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce the risk to the Company of the adverse effects of inflation.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (Statement 145).  The rescission of Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt and Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements eliminates an exception to general practice relating to the determination of whether certain items should be classified as extraordinary and is effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier implementation encouraged.  The rescission of Statement No. 44 and all other provisions of Statement 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.  As a result of the adoption of Statement 145, the Company reclassified $1,444,000, representing extraordinary gain (before minority interest adjustment) on early extinguishment of debt for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, to a component of operating income.

In December 2003, The FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN46R”).  FIN46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003, and addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and how, accordingly, it should consolidate the entity.  The Company will be required to apply FIN46R to variable interests in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) created after December 31, 2003.  For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, FIN46R will be applied beginning on January 10, 2005.  For any VIEs that were created before January 1, 2004 which must be consolidated under FIN46R, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would initially be measured at their carrying values with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change.  If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE.  The

28



adoption of FIN46R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  Statement 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.  The adoption of Statement 149 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.  Statement 150 requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) financial instruments within the scope of the statement that embody unconditional obligations for the issuer.  Statement 150 was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of Statement 150 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates obtainable on its secured and unsecured borrowings.  At December 31, 2003, 50% of the Company’s total capitalization consisted of borrowings.  The Company’s interest rate risk objective is to limit the impact of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve this objective, the Company manages its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates for its borrowings through the use of fixed rate debt instruments to the extent that reasonably favorable rates are obtainable with such arrangements and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument or to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of its variable debt or on future refinancings.  The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for trading purposes.  Approximately 77% of the Company’s outstanding debt was subject to fixed rates with a weighted average of 6.5% at December 31, 2003.  The Company regularly reviews interest rate exposure on its outstanding borrowings in an effort to minimize the risk of interest rate fluctuations. 

29



The table below provides information about the Company’s financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.  For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.  For interest rate swaps and the Company’s interest rate cap, the table presents the notional amount of the swaps and cap and the years in which they expire.  Weighted average variable rates are based on rates in effect at the reporting date (dollars in 000’s).

ITEM 8.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

The Independent Auditors’ Report, Consolidated Financial Statements and Selected Quarterly Financial Information are set forth on pages F-1 to F-25 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 9.   CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

There have been no disagreements with the Company’s independent accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices or financial statement disclosure.

ITEM 9A.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. The Company also has an investment in an unconsolidated entity which is not under its control. Consequently, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures with respect to this entity are necessarily more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

30



As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) that is required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act filings.

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2003, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

Special Note Regarding Analyst Reports

Investors should also be aware that while the Company’s management does, from time to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policy to disclose to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, shareholders should not assume that the Company agrees with any statement or report issued by any analyst irrespective of the content of the statement or report. Furthermore, the Company has a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issued by others. Thus, to the extent that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are not the responsibility of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.

          We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003.  In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we have also audited the accompanying financial statement Schedule III:  Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation.  These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the management of the Company.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule based on our audits.

          We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

          In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of the their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule when considered in relationship to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

          As described in Note 1, the consolidated financial statements reflect the Company’s adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections.

Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Formation of the Company

Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (“Mid-America”) is a self-administrated and self-managed real estate investment trust which owns, acquires and operates multifamily apartment communities mainly in the southeastern United States, and in Texas.  The company owns and operates 124 apartment communities principally through its majority owned subsidiary, Mid-America Apartments, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Company also owns a 33.33% interest in a real estate joint venture which owns 3 apartment communities, for which the Company provides management services.   

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Mid-America, the Operating Partnership, and all other subsidiaries (“the Company”).  The Company owns 51% to 100% of all consolidated subsidiaries.  The Company uses the equity method of accounting for its investments in 20 to 50 percent-owned entities for which the Company does not have the ability to exercise control.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Minority Interest

Minority interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements relates to the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership by the holders of Class A Common Units of the Operating Partnership (“Operating Partnership Units”).  Mid-America is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.  Net income is allocated to the minority interest based on their respective ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership.  Issuance of additional common shares or Operating Partnership Units changes the ownership of both the minority interest and Mid-America.  Such transactions and the proceeds there from are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between shareholders’ equity and minority interest to account for the change in the respective percentage ownership of the underlying equity of the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s Board of Directors established economic rights in respect to each Operating Partnership Unit that were equivalent to the economic rights in respect to each share of common stock.  The holder of each unit may redeem their units in exchange for one share of common stock or cash, at the option of the Company.  The Operating Partnership has followed the policy of paying the same per unit distribution in respect to the units as the per share distribution in respect to the common stock.  Operating Partnership net income for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was allocated approximately 14.6%, 15.7%, and 16.2%, respectively, to holders of Operating Partnership Units and 85.4%, 84.3%, and 83.8%, respectively, to Mid-America.

Use of Estimates

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses to prepare these financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

F-6



Revenue Recognition

The Company leases multifamily residential apartments under operating leases primarily with terms of one year or less.  Rental and other revenues are recorded when earned which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis.

The Company records all gains and losses on real estate in accordance with SFAS No. 66.

Rental Costs

Costs associated with rental activities are expensed as incurred.  Certain costs associated with the lease-up of development projects, including cost of model units, their furnishings, signs, and “grand openings” are capitalized and amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.  All other costs relating to renting development projects are expensed as incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash, investments in money market accounts and certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for property taxes, insurance, debt service and replacement reserves.

Real Estate Assets and Depreciation

Real estate assets are carried at depreciated cost.  Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred while significant improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized.  The cost of interior painting, vinyl flooring and blinds are expensed as incurred.

In conjunction with acquisitions of properties, the Company’s policy is to provide in its acquisition budgets adequate funds to complete any deferred maintenance items to bring the properties to the required standard, including the cost of replacement appliances, carpet, interior painting, vinyl flooring and blinds.  These costs are capitalized.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which range from 8 to 40 years for land improvements and buildings and 5 years for furniture, fixtures and equipment and 3 years for computers.

For real estate acquisitions subsequent to June 30, 2001, the effective date of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 141, Business Combinations, the fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of above and below market leases, resident relationship values and the value of in-place leases.

The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property (land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment) is determined by valuing the property as if it were vacant.   The “as-if-vacant” value is then allocated to land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets.  Management determines the as-if-vacant fair value of a property using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers.  Factors considered by management in performing these analyses include an estimate of  carrying costs  during the period of time that would be required in the current market conditions to lease-up the property.  Management includes real estate taxes, insurance, operating expenses and lost rentals as well as the costs required to execute similar leases in the estimated carrying costs.   

In allocating the fair value of identified intangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property, the in-place leases are compared to current market conditions.  Based on these evaluations, management believes that the leases acquired on each of its property acquisitions were at market rates since the lease terms do not extend beyond one year.

The fair value of the in-place leases and resident relationships is measured by the excess of the purchase price over the as-if-vacant value of the property as described above.   The fair value of the in-place leases and resident relationships is then amortized over the remaining term of the resident leases.  The amount of these resident lease intangibles included in real estate assets totaled $4.9 million and $0 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively and the amortization recorded as a reduction of property income was $1.4 million and $0 for the years ending December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and evaluates its goodwill for impairment under Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.  The Company evaluates its goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter. The Company periodically evaluates its long-lived assets, including its investments in real estate and goodwill, for indicators that would suggest that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.  The judgments regarding the existence of such indicators are based on factors such as operating performance, market conditions, and legal factors. 

To evaluate goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment, the Company estimates future operating cash flows and uses these cash flow estimates to determine the asset’s fair value.  In the apartment industry, the primary method used for determining fair value is to divide annual operating cash flows by

F-7



an appropriate capitalization rate.  The Company determines the appropriate capitalization rate by reviewing the prevailing rates in a property’s market or submarket.

The Company’s 2003 annual evaluation indicated no impairment of goodwill for its reporting units.  The Company will continue to test reporting unit goodwill for potential impairment on an annual basis in the Company’s fiscal fourth quarter, or sooner if a goodwill impairment indicator is identified.

As of the date of adoption, the Company had unamortized goodwill in the amount of $5.8 million, all of which was subject to the transition provisions of Statement 142.  Statement 142 requires disclosure of what net income would have been in all periods presented exclusive of amortization expense recognized in those periods related to goodwill.  Below is a reconciliation of reported net income to adjusted net income and earnings per share (Dollars in thousands, except earnings per share):

Land Held for Future Development

Real estate held for future development are sites intended for future multifamily developments and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. 

Investment In and Advances to Real Estate Joint Ventures

The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture is recorded on the equity method as the Company is able to exert significant influence but does not have a controlling interest in the joint venture. 

Deferred Costs and Other Intangibles

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the terms of the related debt using a method which approximates the interest method. 

Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate debt or as hedges in anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk associated with the transaction. 

F-8



The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.  Further, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors.  When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designated to hedge, the Company has not sustained any material loss from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives. 

The Company requires that derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges be effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge.  This effectiveness is essential for qualifying for hedge accounting.  Instruments that meet the hedging criteria are formally designated as hedging instruments at the inception of the derivative contract.  The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction.  This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions.  The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging relationship and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.  When it is determined that a derivative has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. 

All of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value and represented on the balance sheet, and are characterized as cash flow hedges.  These transactions hedge the future cash flows of debt transactions through interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments.  The unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedging instruments are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, with any ineffective portion of the hedging transactions reclassified to earnings.  During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the ineffective portion of the hedging transactions was not significant.  Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify to earnings an estimated $100,000 of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the ineffectiveness associated with the hedging transactions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (Statement 145).  The rescission of Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt and Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements eliminates an exception to general practice relating to the determination of whether certain items should be classified as extraordinary and is effective in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002, with earlier implementation encouraged.  The rescission of Statement No. 44 and all other provisions of Statement 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002.  As a result of the adoption of Statement 145, the Company reclassified $1,444,000 and $1,189,000, representing extraordinary gain (before minority interest adjustment) on early extinguishment of debt for the twelve months ended December 31, 2002, and 2001, respectively, to a component of operating income.

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN46R”).  FIN46R replaces FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which was issued in January 2003, and addresses how a business enterprise should evaluate whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity through means other than voting rights and how, accordingly, it should consolidate the entity.  The Company will be required to apply FIN46R to variable interests in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) created after December 31, 2003.  For variable interests in VIEs created before January 1, 2004, FIN46R will be applied beginning on January 10, 2005.  For any VIEs that were created before January 1, 2004 which must be consolidated under FIN46R, the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE would

F-9



initially be measured at their carrying values with any difference between the net amount added to the balance sheet and any previously recognized interest being recognized as the cumulative effect of an accounting change.  If determining the carrying amounts is not practicable, fair value at the date FIN46R first applies may be used to measure the assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest of the VIE.  The adoption of FIN46R is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  Statement 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  Statement 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003.  The adoption of Statement 149 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. 

In May 2003, the FASB issued Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.  Statement 150 requires issuers to classify as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) financial instruments within the scope of the statement that embody unconditional obligations for the issuer.  Statement 150 was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise was effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of Statement 150 had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

F-10



Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Pan (the “Plan”) to provide incentives to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and key employees.  See Note 8 for further details.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, which requires either the (i) fair value of employee stock-based compensation plans be recorded as a component of compensation expense in the statement of operations as of the date of grant of awards related to such plans, or (ii) impact of such fair value on net income and earnings per share be disclosed on a pro forma basis in a footnote to financial statements for awards granted after December 15, 1994, if the accounting for such awards continues to be in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (“APB 25”).  The Company will continue such accounting under the provisions of APB 25. 

The following table reflects the effect on net income (loss) if the fair value method of accounting allowed under SFAS No. 123 had been used by the Company along with the applicable assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes option pricing model calculation (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

2.   Real Estate Joint Ventures

Through August 25, 2003, the Company owned a 33.33% interest in a joint venture (“Bre/MAAC”) with Blackstone Real Estate Acquisitions, LLC (“Blackstone”) which was formed in 1999 when the Company sold 10 apartment communities containing 2,793 apartment units to Bre/MAAC for $97.9 million. On

F-11



August 25, 2003 the Company paid $ 21.9 million in cash and assumed $ 53.2 million in debt to purchase Blackstone’s 66.67% interest in the joint venture.  This acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations.  The purchase accounting adjustments include an adjustment to the carrying value of the real estate asset resulting from the previously unrecognized deferred gain on the Company’s retained interest from the original sale of the properties to Bre/MAAC in 1999 and the recording of certain intangible assets.   The operating results of Bre/MAAC are included in the accompanying statement of operations commencing August 25, 2003.

The Company earns interest on its loan to CH/Realty at an average interest rate of 9% and manages the communities for a fee of 4% of revenues. 

Investments in and advances to real estate joint ventures consisted of the following at December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively:  investment in Bre/MAAC: $0, $2.8 million and $3.6 million; investment in CH/Realty:  $ 7.9 million, $4.1 million and $0; advances to Bre/MAAC: $0, $3.4 million and $3.4 million; and advances to CH/Realty: $ 4.7 million, $4.7 million and $0.  The equity in loss on real estate joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2003 represents the Company’s share of both Bre/MAAC and CH/Realty’s net loss.

3.   Borrowings

The Company maintains a $611 million secured credit facility with Prudential Mortgage Capital, credit- enhanced by FNMA (the “FNMA Facility”).  $303 million of the FNMA Facility expires in 2004,

F-12



renewable for two successive 5-year terms, $249 million expires in 2007, and the remaining amount expires in 2008, both renewable for a 5-year term.  The FNMA Facility provides for both fixed and variable rate borrowings.  The interest rate on the variable portion renews every 90 days and is based on the FNMA discount mortgage backed security rate on the date of renewal, which, for the Company, has historically approximated three-month LIBOR less an average of 0.07%, plus a fee of 0.60% to 0.72%.  Borrowings under the FNMA Facility totaled $555.7 million at December 31, 2003, consisting of $110 million under the fixed portion at a rate of 7.179% and the remaining $445.7 million under the variable rate portion of the facility. The available borrowing base capacity at December 31, 2003 was $596.1 million. The average variable interest rate of the facility at December 31, 2003 was 1.85%.  The Company has nine interest rate swap agreements, totaling $275 million to effectively fix the interest rate on a portion of the variable rate borrowings outstanding under the FNMA Facility at approximately 6.18%.  The swaps are highly effective and are designed as cash flow hedges.  The FNMA Facility is subject to certain borrowing base calculations that effectively reduce the amount that may be borrowed. 

Additionally, the Company has a $55.6 million Tax-Free Bond Facility with FNMA.  $42.7 million of the facility is swapped on the BMA Municipal Swap Index.  The swaps, which are highly effective cash flow hedges, expire in 2007 and 2008 and effectively fix interest rates at 4.3% through this period. 

The Company also maintains a $40 million secured credit facility with a group of banks led by AmSouth Bank (the “AmSouth Credit Line”).  The AmSouth Credit Line bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.35% to 1.75% based on certain quarterly coverage calculations established by the agreement.  The spread in 2003 was 1.35%. This credit line expires in May 2005 and is subject to certain borrowing base calculations that effectively reduce the amount that may be borrowed.  At December 31, 2003, the Company had $19.0 million available to be borrowed under the AmSouth Credit Line agreement with no outstanding balance under this facility.  $10.9 million of the facility is used for letters of credit, including $4.8 million used to credit-enhance a tax-free bond.

The Company also had outstanding at December 31, 2003 a $20 million unsecured short-term note payable with Compass Bank at an interest rate of 1.66%, which matures in May 2004, and a $40 million promissory note with Union Planters at a variable interest rate, (based on three month LIBOR), of 2.17% which matures in April 2009. The Company has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million, a variable leg based on three month LIBOR and a fixed leg of 4.58% which expires in March 2009 and is designated against the Union Planters promissory note. 

At December 31, 2003, the Company had $205.7 million (after considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements) variable rate debt outstanding at an average interest rate of 1.88% and an additional $17.7 million (after considering the impact of interest rate swap agreements) of tax-free variable rate debt outstanding at an average rate of 1.95%; $6.8 million of which is capped under an interest rate cap agreement at 6.00%.  The interest rate on all other debt was hedged or fixed at an average interest rate of 6.45%.

The Company had approximately $336.2 million (including $55.6 million in the Tax-Free Bond Facility with FNMA) and $446.4 million (including $46.7 million in the Tax-Free Bond Facility with FNMA) at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, outstanding under various mortgage notes and bonds payable secured by real estate assets.

The Company had outstanding at December 31, 2002, $142 million aggregate principal amount of 6.376% bonds due in 2003 (the “Bonds”).  The Bonds were secured by a first priority deed of trust, security agreement and assignment of rents and leases in 26 mortgaged properties.  On March 3, 2003 these bonds were refinanced through the FNMA Facility.

During 2002, the Company refinanced multiple properties and moved them under the FNMA facility.  The Company also refinanced four tax-free bonds representing $29.7 million and moved them into the

F-13



Tax-Free Bond Facility with FNMA. The Company incurred a prepayment penalty of approximately $1.4 million related to the early extinguishment of the debt. 

As of December 31, 2003, the Company estimated that the weighted average interest rate on the Company’s debt was 5.4% with an average maturity of 10.6 years.

The Company’s indebtedness includes various restrictive financial covenants.  The Company believes that it was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2003.

4.   Fair Value Disclosure of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and security deposits are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair value due to their short term nature. 

Fixed rate notes payable at December 31, 2003 and 2002 total $385.8 million and $504.9 million, respectively, and have an estimated fair value of $368.1 million and $470.4 million (excluding prepayment penalties) based upon interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities as of December 31, 2003 and 2002.  The carrying value of variable rate notes

F-14



payable (excluding the effect of interest rate swap agreements) at December 31, 2003 and 2002 total $566.1 million and $298.8 million, respectively, which reasonably approximates their fair value because the related variable interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities reasonably approximate market rates.  The notional amount of interest rate swap agreements at December 31, 2003 and 2002 total $382.7 million and $159.8 million, respectively, and have an estimated fair value of ($25.5) million and ($28.1) million based upon interest rates available for interest rate swaps with similar terms and remaining maturities as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.  The fair market value of the Company’s interest rate cap agreement with a notional amount of $6.8 million was approximately $7,000 and $16,000 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on information available to management as of December 31, 2003 and 2002. These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could ultimately realize.

5.   Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is not presently subject to any material litigation nor, to the Company’s knowledge, with advice of legal counsel, is any material litigation threatened against the Company, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance and none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

The Company had no expenses related to operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2003,  and $16,000, and $527,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001. The Company has no commitments for the next five years under operating lease agreements outstanding at December 31, 2003.

6.   Income Taxes

No provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Company has made an election to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code.  As a REIT, the Company generally is not subject to Federal income tax to the extent it distributes 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meets certain other tests relating to the number of shareholders, types of assets and allocable income.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to the Federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.  Even though the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain Federal, state and local taxes on its income and property and to Federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income.

F-15



Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to shareholders, differ from net income reported for financial reporting purposes primarily because of differences in depreciable lives, bases of certain assets and liabilities and in the timing of recognition of earnings upon disposition of properties.  For federal income tax purposes, the following summarizes the taxability of cash distributions paid on the common shares in 2002 and 2001 and the estimated taxability for 2003:

Direct Stock Purchase and Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Company has a Direct Stock Purchase and Distribution Reinvestment Plan (“DSPDRP”) pursuant to which the Company’s shareholders have the ability to reinvest all or part of distributions from the Company’s common stock, preferred stock or limited partnership interests in Mid-America Apartments, L.P. into the Company’s common stock.  Also, the plan provides the opportunity for shareholders to buy additional common shares through an optional cash investment.  The Company has registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission the offer and sale of up to 1,600,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the DSPDRP.  Additional shares will be purchased at the market price on the “Investment Date” each month, which shall in no case be later than ten business days following the distribution payment date.  Common stock shares totaling 31,484 in 2003, 28,715, in 2002, and 27,090, in 2001 were acquired by shareholders under the DSPDRP.

Stock Repurchase Plan

In 1999, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan to acquire up to a total of 4.0 million shares of the Company’s common shares.  Through December 31, 2003, the Company has repurchased and retired approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock for a cost of approximately $42 million at an average price per common share of $22.54.  No shares were repurchased in 2002 or 2003 under the plan.

F-17



Earnings Per Share

The computation of basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  The computation of diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the shares resulting from the assumed exercise of all dilutive outstanding options using the treasury stock method.  For periods were the Company reports a net loss available for common shareholders, the effect of dilutive shares is excluded from earnings per share calculations because including such shares would be anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

8.   Employee Benefit Plans

401 (k) Savings Plan

The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan is a defined contribution plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) and 401(k) of the Code.  The Company may, but is not obligated to, make a matching contribution of $.50 for each $1.00 contributed, up to 6% of the participant’s compensation.  The Company’s contribution to this plan was $251,000, $262,000, and $240,000 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for key employees who are not qualified for participation in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan.  Under the terms of the plan, employees may elect to defer a percentage of their compensation and the Company matches a portion of their salary deferral.  The plan is designed so that the employees’ investment earnings under the non-qualified plan should be the same as the earning assets in the Company’s 401(k) Savings Plan.  The Company’s match to this plan in 2003, 2002, and 2001 was $23,700, $24,200, and $30,200, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides a means for employees to purchase common stock of the Company.  The Board has authorized the issuance of 150,000 shares for the plan.  The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee who may annually grant options to employees to purchase annually up to an aggregate of 15,000 shares of common stock at a price equal to 85% of the market price of the common stock.  For 2003, 2002, and 2001, the ESPP purchased 5,162, 4,342, and 4,163 shares of common stock, respectively.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the “ESOP”) is a non-contributory stock bonus plan that satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Each employee of the Company is eligible to participate in the ESOP after attaining the age of 21 years and completing one year of service with the Company. Participants’ ESOP accounts will be 100% vested after five years of continuous service, with no vesting prior to that time.  The Company contributed 22,500 shares of common stock to the ESOP upon conclusion of the Initial Offering.  During 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company contributed approximately $568,000, $570,000, and $600,000, respectively, to the ESOP which purchased an additional 20,489, 22,493, and 22,562 shares of common stock, respectively.

F-18



Stock Option Plan

The Company adopted the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to provide incentives to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and key employees.  As of January 31, 2004, no further awards may be granted under the Plan.  The Plan provided for the grant of options to purchase a specified number of shares of common stock (“Options”) or grants of restricted shares of common stock (“Restricted Stock”).  The Plan also allowed the Company to grant options to purchase Operating Partnership Units at the price of the common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the day prior to issuance of the units (the “LESOP Provision”). The Plan authorized the issuance of 2,400,000 common shares or options to acquire shares which vest over five years. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company could advance directors, executive officers, and key employees a portion of the cost of the common stock or units.  The employee advances mature five years from date of issuance and accrue interest, payable in arrears, at a rate established at the date of issuance.  The Company has also entered into supplemental bonus agreements with the employees which are intended to fund the payment of a portion of the advances over a five year period.  Under the terms of the supplemental bonus agreements, The Company will pay bonuses to these employees equal to 3% of the original note balance on each anniversary date of the advance, limited to 15% of the aggregate purchase price of the shares and units.  In March of 2002, the Company entered into duplicate supplemental bonus agreements on the then existing options to executive officers, effectively doubling their advances.  The advances become due and payable and the bonus agreement will terminate if the employees voluntarily terminate their employment with the Company.  The Company also agreed to pay a bonus to certain executive officers in an amount equal to the debt service on the advances for as long as they remain employed by the Company. 

As of December 31, 2003, the Company had advances outstanding relating to the Plan totaling $1,458,000, which is presented as a reduction to shareholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Advances to current and one former executive officers totaled $1,450,000 at interest rates ranging from 5.59%-6.49% and maturing at various dates from 2004 to 2010.  Advances to key employees totaled $8,000 at interest rates ranging from 8.25%-9.0% maturing at various dates from 2004 to 2005. 

In 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company issued 7,879, 6,078, and 5,450 restricted shares of common stock, respectively, to independent directors.  The shares are issued into the Outside Director Deferred Compensation Plan and are issued to the director in two annual installments beginning within 90 days following the year-end of the year in which the director ceases to serve on the Board of Directors.

In 2003, the Company issued 7,471 restricted shares of common stock to executive management. These shares vest in one year.

In 2002, the Company issued 97,881 restricted shares of common stock to key managers.  These shares vest 20% a year for five consecutive years beginning in 2007, with the ability for early vesting if the Company meets certain pre-set performance goals. Through 2003, no early vesting of these shares has occurred.

In 2000, the Company issued 10,750 restricted shares of common stock to executive officers.  These shares will vest 10% each over the next ten years.  The executive officers have the option to accelerate the vesting in lieu of bonuses.

10.   Derivative Financial Instruments

In the normal course of business, the Company uses certain derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable rate debt or as hedges in anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk associated with the transaction. 

The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.  Further, the Company has a policy of entering into contracts with major financial institutions based upon their credit rating and other factors.  When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designated to hedge, the Company has not sustained any material loss from those instruments nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives. 

The Company requires that derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow or fair value hedges are effective in reducing the interest rate risk exposure that they are designated to hedge.  In order for a derivative financial instrument to be designated as a hedging instrument, the relationship between the derivative financial instrument and the hedged item must be highly effective.  Instruments that meet the hedging criteria are formally designated as hedging instruments at the inception of the derivative contract.  The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction.  This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair-value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions.  The Company also formally assesses, both at the inception of the hedging instrument and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives used are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows

F-20



of hedged items.  When it is determined that a derivative has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. 

All of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are characterized as cash flow hedges and are reported at fair value on the balance sheet.  The derivative financial instruments hedge the future cash flows of variable rate debt through interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments and an interest rate cap that hedges cash flows from interest payments above a specific level.  The unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these cash flow hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, with any ineffective portion of the hedging transactions reclassified to earnings.  During the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the ineffective portion of the hedging transactions was not significant.  Within the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify to earnings an estimated $100,000 of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income due to the ineffectiveness associated with the hedging transactions.

The Company has nine interest rate swaps with a total notional balance of $275 million which have variable legs based on one or three-month Libor, and fixed legs with an average rate of 6.2%.  The swaps have expirations between 2005 and 2010, and have to date proven to be highly effective hedges of the Company’s variable rate debt.  Through the use of these swaps the Company believes it has effectively fixed the rate during these periods of $275 million of variable rate borrowings issued through the FNMA Facility. The Company also has five interest rate swaps with a total notional balance of $42.7 million based on the BMA Municipal Swap Index, which expire in 2007 and 2008, effectively fixing the interest rate of $42.7 million of the Tax-Free Bond Facility at 4.3% through this period, which is a highly effective hedge.  The Company also entered into a cap agreement on a notional amount of $6.8 million within the Tax-Free Bond Facility.  The 5-year cap agreement has a strike rate of 6% as indexed on the BMA Municipal Swap Index. Additionally, the Company has one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $25 million which has a variable leg based on three-month LIBOR, and a fixed leg with an average rate of 4.6% which expires in 2009 and has to date proven to be highly effective hedge of the designated borrowings of Union Planters.

The Company has also executed one forward interest rate swap with a notional balance of $40 million which becomes operative in 2004.  The variable leg of the forward interest rate swap is based on three-month Libor and the fixed leg has an average rate of 4.9%.  The swap expires in 2010 and is designated as a cash flow hedge on future planned refinancings.

At December 31, 2003 all of these interest rate swaps and the interest rate cap were designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and have a net liability fair value of ($25.4) million and $7,000, respectively, which are recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

11.   Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to management contracts with the Company’s joint ventures, the Company manages the operations of the joint venture apartment communities for a fee of 4% of the revenues of the joint ventures.  The Company received approximately $822,000, $775,000, and $755,000 as management fees from the joint ventures in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. 

12.   Segment Information

At December 31, 2003, the Company owned or had an ownership interest in 127 multifamily apartment communities, including the apartment communities owned by the Company’s joint venture, in 12 different states from which it derives all significant sources of earnings and operating cash flows.  The Company’s operational structure is organized on a decentralized basis, with individual property managers having overall responsibility and authority regarding the operations of their respective properties.  Each property manager individually monitors local and area trends in rental rates, occupancy percentages, and

F-21



operating costs.  Property managers are given the on-site responsibility and discretion to react to such trends in the best interest of the Company.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of each individual property based on its contribution to net operating income in order to ensure that the individual property continues to meet the Company’s return criteria and long term investment goals.  The Company defines each of its multifamily communities as an individual operating segment.  It has also determined that all of its communities have similar economic characteristics and also meet the other criteria which permit the communities to be aggregated into one reportable segment, which is acquisition and operation of the multifamily communities owned.

The revenues, net operating income, assets and real estate investment capital expenditures for the aggregated multifamily segment are summarized as follows for the years ended as of December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 (Dollars in 000’s):  For purposes of this disclosure, multifamily revenues, net operating income and real estate assets include amounts related to the properties owned by the unconsolidated joint ventures.
