Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005 and 2004 (Unaudited)

1.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principlesprincipals for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Company’s accounting policies in effect as of December 31, 2004,2005, as set forth in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements, of the Company as of such date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2005March 31, 2006, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in its annual reportthe Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

2005.


EARNINGS PER SHARERECLASSIFICATION


Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to 2006 presentation. 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 where 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 is presented on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

Upon shareholder approval at the May 24, 2004 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Company adopted the 2004 Stock Plan to provide incentives to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and key employees. This plan replaced the 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan under whichreclassifications had no further awards may be granted as of January 31, 2004.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), 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 note 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 for employee stock options under the provisions of APB 25.

The following table reflects the effect on net income 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 calculationavailable for those periods in which grants were issued (dollars and shares in thousands, except per share data):

2.STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

In December 2004, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment (“Statement 123(R)”). Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.Employees. Statement 123(R) will requirerequires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or the liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Statement 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.

The Company plans to adoptadopted Statement 123(R) effective January 1, 2006 and does not believe it will have a material impactusing the “modified prospective” method permitted by Statement 123(R) in which compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) based on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 to provide public companies additional guidance in applying the provisions of Statement 123(R). Among other things, SAB 107 describes the SEC staff's expectations in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and discusses the interactionrequirements of Statement 123(R) with certain existing SEC guidance.for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and (b) based on the requirements of Statement 123 for all awards granted to employees prior to the effective date of Statement 123(R) that remain unvested on the effective date. The guidance is also beneficial to userseffect of financial statementsadopting Statement 123(R) for the 3 months ending March 31, 2006 was an increase of approximately $186,900 in analyzing the information provided under statement 123(R). SAB 107 will be applied upon thenet income from continuing operations and in net income, and an increase of $0.01 in both basic and diluted earnings per share. The adoption of Statement 123(R).

Certain had no impact on cash flow from operations or cash flow from financing activities.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) provides a 478-unit community located in the North Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area of Texas. The Company recorded approximately $724,000 and $941,000

means for employees to real estate assets representing the fair valuepurchase common stock of the in-place leases relatedCompany. The Board of Directors has authorized the issuance of 150,000 shares for the plan. The ESPP is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors who may annually grant options to Waterford Forest and Boulder Ridge, respectively.

3.

SHARE AND UNIT INFORMATION

At September 30, 2005, 21,748,081 common shares and 2,615,419 operating partnership units were outstanding, a totalemployees to purchase annually up to an aggregate of 24,363,500 shares and units. Additionally, the Company had outstanding options for 404,91815,000 shares of common stock at Septembera price equal to 85% of the market price of the common stock. Shares are purchased semi-annually on June 30 2005,and December 31; therefore, no shares were purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2006 or 2005. Because it is not possible to reasonably estimate fair value at the grant date, the Company estimates the compensation costs based on intrinsic values updated until the date of the settlement. Compensation cost recognized for the three months ending March 31, 2006 was approximately $8,600.



Incentive Plans Overview and Summary

The Company’s stock compensation plans consist of the ESPP and a number of incentives provided to attract and retain independent directors, executive officers and key employees. Incentives are currently granted under the 2004 Stock Plan which 217,782 were anti-dilutive. At September 30,was approved at the May 24, 2004 20,581,907 common sharesAnnual Meeting of Shareholders. This plan replaced the 1994 Restricted Stock and 2,658,504 operating partnership units were outstanding,Stock Option Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) under which no further awards may be granted as of January 31, 2004. The 1994 Restricted Stock and Stock Option Plan allowed for the grant of restricted stock and stock options up to a total of 23,240,411 shares2.4 million shares. The 2004 Stock Plan allows for the grant of restricted stock and units. Additionally,stock options up to a total of 500,000 shares. The Company believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its shareholders. Total compensation cost under the Plans was approximately $121,900 and $75,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Plans was approximately $3.2 million. This cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 4.9 years. Information concerning specific grants under the Plans is listed below.

Options

All option awards made under the Plans have been granted with the exercise price equal to the market price on the day of grant. The options vest over five years of continuous service at a rate of 10%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 30%, and expire 10 years from grant date. Dividends are not paid on unexercised options.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes method which utilizes the assumptions noted in the following table. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. Expected life of the option is estimated using historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination. The Company uses a U.S. constant-maturity Treasury close to the same expected life of the option to represent the risk-free rate. Turnover is based on the historical rate at which options are exercised. The Company uses its current dividend yield at the time of grant to estimate the dividend yield over the life of the option. No options were granted during the periods presented in the following table; therefore, no fair value was calculated.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

At September 30, 2005, the Company owned or had an ownership interest in 132 multifamily apartment communities, including the apartment community owned$22.1875. The grant date fair value was determined 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. 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, profits and assets for the aggregated communities are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Key Managers 2005 Restricted Stock

In 2005, the Board of Directors adopted the 2005 Key Management Restricted Stock Plan (the “2005 Plan”), a long-term incentive program for key managers and executive officers. The 2005 Plan grants shares of restricted stock based on a sliding scale of total shareholder return over three 12-month periods ending in discontinued operations2006, 2007 and 2008. Any restricted stock earned will vest 100% three years after the date of the restricted stock issuance. Recipients will receive dividend payments on the shares of restricted stock during the restriction periods. There is no automatic vesting of the shares.

The fair value of the stock award is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation with the assumptions noted in the accompanying consolidated financial statementsfollowing table. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the 2005 Plan is based on the criteria for the above transactionsplan and the expected life of the awards. The Company uses a U.S. constant-maturity Treasury with the same term as the expected term of the 2005 Plan to represent the risk-free rate. Turnover is based on the historical experience for the key managers and executive officers. The Company uses its current dividend yield at the time of grant to estimate the dividend yield over the life of the plan.

As of March 31, 2006, there was approximately $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted. The Company’s policy is to recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for an entire award (rather than each portion of an award). Accordingly, the $1.3 million unrecognized cost will be recognized over the weighted average period of 5.25 years. No shares vested during the three months ended March 31, 2006.

Long-Term Performance Based Incentive Plan for Executive Officers

The Compensation Committee by authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company submitted the Long-Term Performance Based Incentive Plan for Executive Officers (the "Long-Term Plan") which was approved by shareholders on June 2, 2003. The Long-Term Plan allows executive management to earn performance units that convert into shares of restricted stock based on achieving defined total shareholder investment performance levels. Based on the Company’s performance from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2005, 74,894 restricted shares of common stock were issued to executive management on March 14, 2006. While these shares of restricted stock will be entitled to dividend payments, they will not be transferable or have voting privileges until they vest. Dependent upon the executive officer’s continued employment with the Company, these shares of restricted stock will vest 20% annually from 2006 through 2010.



The fair value of the stock award is estimated on the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation with the assumptions noted in the following table. Volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the Long-Term Plan is based on the criteria for the plan and the expected life of the awards.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

each balance sheet date.



4.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 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 and interest rate caps that limit the exposure to rising interest rates. 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 three month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, the ineffective portion of the hedging transactions was not significant.

6.8 5/8% SERIES G CUMULATIVE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

In 2002, the Company issued 8 5/8% Series G Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series G”) with a $25.00 per share liquidation preference and a preferential cumulative annual distribution of $2.15625 per share, payable monthly. The Company has outstanding 400,000 Series G shares issued in a direct placement with private investors (“Investors”) for which it received aggregate proceeds of $10 million. On or after November 15, 2004, the Company or the Investors may give the required one yearone-year notice to redeem or put, respectively, all or part of the Series G shares beginning on or after November 15, 2005, in increments of $1 million. In the event the Investors elect to put all or a part of the Series G to the Company, the Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the shares of the Series G in shares of common stock of the Company in lieu of cash.


In accordance with EITF D-98: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, as of March 31, 2005, the Company classified the Series G outside of permanent equity as the Company determined that in the event of a put by the Investors, there were two possible circumstances which were not wholly in control of the Company that could require the Series G to be redeemed by the Company for cash as opposed to common stock, and thus the Series G should be presented outside of permanent equity. These circumstances were the delisting of the Company’s common


stock from the New York Stock Exchange and the failure to complete a registration of the Company’s common stock exchanged for the Series G. The December 31, 2004 consolidated balance sheet was adjusted to conform to such presentation.


On May 26, 2005, the Company gave the required one yearone-year notice to redeem all of the issued and outstanding Series G shares on May 26, 2006. As a result, in accordance with Statement No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (“Statement 150”), the Company classified the Series G as a liability within notes payable as of May 26, 2005, on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Statement 150 also requires that all subsequent dividend payments be classified as interest expense on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES


The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United States of America.accounting principles. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts

and disclosures in the condensed 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.

assumptions.


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,determinations, form the basis of accounting policies deemed to be most critical. These critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, capitalization of expenditures and depreciation of assets, impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, and fair value of derivative financial instruments.


Revenue Recognition

The Company leases multifamily residential apartments under operating leases primarily with terms of one year or less. Rental revenues are recognized using a method that represents a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and other revenues are recorded when earned.


The Company records all gains and losses on real estate in accordance with Statement No. 66 Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.

Capitalization of Expendituresexpenditures and Depreciationdepreciation of Assetsassets


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, 5 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and 3 to 5 years for computers and software, all of which are judgmentalsubjective 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 Goodwilllong-lived assets, including goodwill

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.


In accordance with Statement 144, long-lived assets, such as real estate assets, and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as held for sale are presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.


Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and is tested for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its carrying amount. In the apartment industry, the primary method used for determining fair value 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 a property’s market or submarket. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation, in accordance with Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.


Fair Valuevalue of Derivative Financial Instrumentsderivative financial instruments


The Company utilizes certain derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and caps, 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 Statement No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, 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. 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 found to be highly correlated.


The Company performs ineffectiveness 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 change in fair value of the interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND NET INCOME


Funds from operations (“FFO”) represents net income (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP”) excluding extraordinary items, minority interest in operating partnershipOperating Partnership income, gain on disposition of real estate assets, plus depreciation 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”) definition. Disposition of real estate assets includes sales of real estate included in discontinued operations as well as proceeds received from insurance and other settlements from property damage.


In response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Policy Statement relating to EITF Topic D-42 concerning the calculation of earnings per share for the redemption of preferred stock, the Company has included the amount charged to retire preferred stock in excess of carrying values in its FFO calculation.

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 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 to investors 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.

TRENDS


Property performance over the past four years has been pressured by an imbalance between supply and demand for apartment units in many of the Company’s markets, but has begun to show signs of improvement.


The Company believes that demand by apartment rentersresidents is most impacted by household formation, which is driven by job formation. Job formation has been quite weak in many of the Company’s markets, and most noticeably in the larger metro areas, such as Atlanta, Houston and Dallas. Some of the smaller and mid-size markets in which the Company operates, such as Jackson, Mississippi, Jacksonville, Florida, and Columbus, Georgia, have been less impacted.


On the supply side, low interest rates encouraged over-building of apartments, especially in the larger metropolitan areas. Delivery of new apartment units during this period of weakened apartment demand increased competition, reducing apartment occupancy levels, especially in the larger markets. In addition, single-family homes, which are direct competition for apartments, became even more affordable, and home ownership continued to climb in the Company’s markets.

In 2005, the


The Company beganhas begun to see a turn in many of its markets, particularly in Florida and Georgia, where there are some signs of improving demand coupled with a slight slow down in supply. The Company’s large-tier markets, which have been under the most pressure during the economic downturn, are beginning to show signs of absorbing the oversupply of new apartments and returning to historical occupancy and pricing levels, while the Company’s smaller tiersmaller-tier and mid-sized markets are benefiting from improving market fundamentals which support continued stable growth. The policies of the Federal Reserve, which has raised short-term interest rates, by 275 basis points in a short span of time, with further possible increases, also seem to be having some early impact on the supply of new apartments. Development costs of apartments and of single-family homes also appear to be rising, as are mortgage interest rates, with the likelihood that this may slightly alleviate this competition.

In September, evacuees from Hurricane Katrina leased approximately 220 apartments principally in the Company’s Jackson, Mississippi, Houston and Dallas, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee area markets. The average lease was for eight months at $756 per month. The Company believes that there is likely to be further leasing activity associated with additional evacuee relocations, and is in the process of evaluating the possible impact on its operations in 2006. Its Texas markets, which have been the weakest of its large-tier markets, have especially benefited from this leasing activity.


The Company believes that the impact of higher demand from apartment renters, a reduced rate of increase in supply, and reduced competition from single-family homes will continue to contribute to better operating results in the balance of 2005 and in 2006. While rising interest rates will also increase the Company’s cost of borrowing, the Company has mitigated part of the impact of this by putting in place $150 million of forward swaps in June 2005, such that the interest rate on approximately 89% of its debt has been fixed, swapped, forward swapped, or capped, compared to 81% at the end of 2004.

The weighted average interest rate at September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, for the $1.1$1.18 billion of debt outstanding was 5.4% compared to 5.2%5.4% on $1.0$1.12 billion of debt outstanding at September 30, 2004.March 31, 2005. The Company utilizes both conventional and tax exempt debt to help finance its activities. Borrowings are made through individual property mortgages and secured credit facilities. The Company utilizes fixed rate borrowings, interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage its current and future interest rate risk.

More details on the Company’s borrowings can be found in the schedule presented later in this section.


At September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company had secured credit facilities relationships with Prudential Mortgage Capital which isare credit enhanced by the Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), FNMA, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie MAC”), and a group of banks led by AmSouth Bank. Together, these credit facilities provided a total borrowing capacity and availability to borrow of $1.1 billion at September 30, 2005, with an availability to borrow of $992 million. At September 30, 2005, theMarch 31, 2006. The Company had total borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities of $911 million.

$975 million at March 31, 2006.


Approximately 72% of the Company’s outstanding obligations at March 31, 2006, were borrowed through facilities with/or credit enhanced by FNMA (the “FNMA Facilities”). The FNMA Facilities have a combined line limit of $950 million, $925 million of which was available to borrow at March 31, 2006. The Company had total borrowings outstanding under the FNMA Facilities of $856 million at March 31, 2006. Various traunches of the facilities mature from 2010 through 2014. The FNMA Facilities provide for both fixed and variable rate borrowings. The interest rate on the majority of 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 0.04% over the life of the FNMA Facilities, plus a credit enhancement fee of 0.62% to 0.795%.

Each of the Company’s secured credit facilities is subject to various covenants and conditions on usage, and are subject to periodic revaluationre-evaluation of collateral. 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. In the event of a reduction in real estate values the amount of available credit could be reduced. 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. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Approximately 70% of the Company’s outstanding obligations at September 30, 2005 were borrowed through facilities with/or credit enhanced by FNMA (the “FNMA Facilities”). The FNMA Facilities have a combined line limit of $950 million, $863 million of which was available to borrow at September 30, 2005. Various traunches of the facilities mature from 2010 through 2014. The FNMA Facilities provide for both fixed and variable rate borrowings. The interest rate on the majority of 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 0.04% over the life of the FNMA Facilities, plus a credit enhancement fee of 0.62%.

The Company also had secured borrowings with Union Planters Bank at September 30, 2005 totaling $40 million.

The Company believes that it has adequate resources to fund 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 approximately $793$856 million of the Company’s debt. The interest rate market for FNMA DMBS, which in the Company’s experience is highly correlated with three-month LIBOR interest rates, is also an important component of the Company’s liquidity and interest rate 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.



For the nine monthsquarter ended September 30, 2005,March 31, 2006, the Company’s net cash provided by operating activities exceededwas approximately $1.5 million short of funding improvements to existing real estate assets, distributions to unitholders, and dividends paid on common and preferred shares by approximately $5.5 million.shares. This comparescompared to a shortfall of approximately $1.3$1.8 million for the same period in 2004.2005. While the Company has sufficient liquidity to permit distributions at current rates through additional borrowings, if necessary, 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 reduce the distribution rate.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS


At September 30,March 31, 2006 and 2005, and 2004, the Company did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. The Company’s joint ventureventures with Crow Holdings waswere established to acquire 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 the Company or its related parties other than what isthose disclosed in Item 88. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1113 in the Company’s 20042005 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

10-K.


The Company’s investment in its real estate joint venture is unconsolidated and is recorded on the equity method as the Company does not have a controlling interest.


INSURANCE


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 Company’s communities allow, at the time of renewal, for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, 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 December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29 (“Statement 153”). Statement 153 was a result of a joint effort by the FASB and the IASB to improve financial reporting by eliminating certain narrow differences between their existing accounting standards. Statement 153 amends APB Opinion No. 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. Statement 153 shall beis applied prospectively and is effective for nonmonetary


asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of Statement 153 willdid not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.


In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment (“Statement 123(R)”). Statement 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Statement 123(R) will requirerequires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-dategrant date fair value of the equity or the liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Statement 123(R) is effective as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The Company will

adoptadopted Statement 123(R) effective January 1, 2006, and doesutilizing the modified prospective transition method. The adoption of Statement 123(R) did not believe it will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.


In March 2005, the SEC issued SAB 107 to provide public companies additional guidance in applying the provisions of Statement 123(R). Among other things, SAB 107 describes the SEC staff's expectations in determining the assumptions that underlie the fair value estimates and discusses the interaction of Statement 123(R) with certain existing SEC guidance. The guidance is also beneficial to users of financial statements in analyzing the information provided under statement 123(R). SAB 107 will bewas applied upon the adoption of Statement 123(R).


In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations-an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (“Interpretation 47”). Interpretation 47 clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, (“Statement 143”) refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity is unconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method of settlement. Thus, the timing and/or method of settlement may be conditional on a future event. Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The fair value of a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation should be recognized when incurred-generally upon acquisition, construction, or development and/or through the normal operation of the asset. Uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligation should be factored into the measurement of the liability when sufficient information exists. Statement 143 acknowledges that in some cases, sufficient information may not be available to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Interpretation 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. Interpretation 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005, (December 31, 2005, for calendar-year enterprises). Retrospective application for interim financial information is permitted but is not required. The Company does not believe the adoption of Interpretation 47 willdid not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.


In June 2005, the FASB ratified EITF 04-5: Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF 04-5”). EITF 04-5 provides a framework for determining whether a general partner is required to consolidate limited partners. The new framework is significantly different than the guidance in SOP 78-9 and would make it more difficult for a general partner to overcome the presumption that it controls the limited partnership, requiring the limited partner to have substantive “kick-out” or “participating” rights. Kick-out rights are the right to dissolve or liquidate the partnership or to otherwise remove the general partner without cause and participating rights isare the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in the ordinary course of the partnership’s business. EITF 04-5 became effective immediately for all newly formed limited partnerships and existing limited partnerships which are modified. The guidance will become effective for existing limited partnerships which are not modified the beginning of the first reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not believe the adoption of EITF 04-5 willdid not have a material impact on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Management’s Discussion


This and Analysisother sections of Financial Condition and Results of Operations containsthis Quarterly 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, (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about anticipated market conditions, expected growth raterates of revenues and expenses, anticipated rental concessions, planned asset dispositions, disposition pricing, planned acquisitions and planned acquisitions. Actual results and the timing of certain events could differ materially from those projected in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including a continued downturn in general economic conditions or the capital markets, competitive factors including overbuilding or other supply/demand imbalances in some or all of our markets, changes indevelopments, property financings, expected interest rates and other items that are difficult to control such as insurance rates, increases in real estate taxes, and other general risks inherent in the apartment business.planned capital expenditures. 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-Q 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.

MANAGEMENT’S 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 itsthe Company’s filings under the Securities Exchange Act reportsof 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and to ensure 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.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and


Our management, with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officerour principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer, offinancial officers has evaluated 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 Exchange Act. Based upon thaton their evaluation theas of March 31, 2006, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2005March 31, 2006, 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.

Risk Factors” in the Company’s management does, from timeAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company is subject to time, communicate with securities analysts, it is against the Company’s policyfollowing tax-related risks.

FAILURE TO MAKE REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS WOULD SUBJECT THE COMPANY TO INCOME TAXATION

In order to disclosequalify as a REIT, each year the Company must distribute to them any material non-public information or other confidential commercial information. Accordingly, shareholders should not assumestockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividend paid deduction and by excluding net capital gains). To the extent that the Company agrees withsatisfies the distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income. In addition, the Company will incur a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, statementby which the distributions in any year are less than the sum of:

·  85% of ordinary income for that year;
·  95% of capital gain net income for that year; and
·  100% of undistributed taxable income from prior years.

Differences in timing between the recognition of income and the related cash receipts or report issued by any analyst irrespectivethe effect of required debt amortization payments could require the Company to borrow money or sell assets to pay out enough of the contenttaxable income to satisfy the distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% nondeductible excise tax in a particular year.

COMPLYING WITH REIT REQUIREMENTS MAY CAUSE THE COMPANY TO FORGO OTHERWISE ATTRACTIVE OPPORTUNITIES OR ENGAGE IN MARGINAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES

To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of income, the nature and diversification of assets, the amounts distributed to shareholders and the ownership of the statement or report. Furthermore,Company’s stock. In order to meet these tests, the Company hasmay be required to forgo attractive business or investment opportunities or engage in marginal investment opportunities. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder the Company’s ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

THE TAXATION OF CORPOARTE DIVIDENDS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S STOCK

The Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003, among other things, generally reduced to 15% the maximum marginal rate of tax payable by domestic noncorporate taxpayers on dividends received from a policy against issuing or confirming financial forecasts or projections issuedregular C corporation for tax years 2003 through 2008. This reduced tax rate does not apply, however, to dividends paid to domestic noncorporate taxpayers by others. Thus,a REIT on its stock, except for certain limited amounts. Although the earnings of a REIT that are distributed to its stockholders are generally subject to less federal income taxation than earnings of a non-REIT C corporation that are distributed to its stockholders net of corporate-level income tax, this legislation could cause domestic noncorporate investors to view the stock of regular C corporations as more attractive relative to the extentstock of a REIT than was the case prior to the enactment of the legislation, because the dividends from regular C corporations are now generally taxed at a lower rate while dividends from REITs are generally taxed at the same rate as the domestic noncorporate taxpayer’s ordinary income. The more favorable tax rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause domestic noncorporate investors to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that reports issued by securities analysts contain any projections, forecasts or opinions, such reports are notpay dividends, which could adversely affect the responsibilityvalue of nor are they endorsed by Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.
