ITEM 1. Business

General

United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. is a self administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, acquires, renovates, develops, and manages middle-market apartment communities nationwide. At December 31, 2004, our apartment portfolio included 273 communities located in 43 markets, with a total of 78,855 completed apartment homes. In addition, we had three apartment communities under development.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain tests which, among other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of real estate, our income be derived primarily from real estate, and that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. As a qualified REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on our REIT taxable income to the extent we distribute such income to our stockholders. In 2004, we declared total distributions of $1.17 per share to our stockholders, which represents our 28th year of consecutive dividend increases to our stockholders.

We were formed in 1972 as a Virginia corporation. In June 2003, we changed our state of incorporation from Virginia to Maryland. Our corporate headquarters is located at 400 East Cary Street, Richmond, Virginia. Our principal executive offices are located at 1745 Shea Center Drive, Suite 200, Highlands Ranch, Colorado. As of March 1, 2005, we had 1,943 full-time employees and 178 part-time employees.

Our subsidiaries include two operating partnerships, Heritage Communities L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and United Dominion Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the company,” or “United Dominion” refer collectively to United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

2004 Accomplishments

• We provided a total stockholder return of 37%.
• We increased our dividend for the 28th consecutive year.
• We lowered the weighted average interest rate on our debt from
5.2% at December 31, 2003 to 5.0% at December 31, 2004.
• We increased the size of our unencumbered pool of assets to
$3.3 billion, valued on a historical cost basis.
• We completed over $1.8 billion of capital transactions in
2004.
• We were upgraded by Moody’s Investor Services on our
unsecured debt rating to Baa2 from Baa3 and our preferred stock
rating to Baa3 from Ba1 with a stable outlook.
• We acquired 8,060 apartment homes in 28 communities for
approximately $1.0 billion.
• We completed the disposition of 19 apartment communities with
5,425 apartment homes for an aggregate sales price of
approximately $270.1 million, exiting markets that no
longer met our investment criteria. In addition, we sold 24 of
36 townhomes of a community for $7.3 million.

Business Objectives and Operating Strategies

Our principal business objective is to maximize the economic returns of our apartment communities to provide our stockholders with the greatest possible total return and value. To achieve this objective, we intend to continue to pursue the following goals and strategies:

| • | own and operate middle-market apartments across a national
platform, thus enhancing stability and predictability of returns
to our stockholders, |
| --- | --- |
| • | manage real estate cycles by taking an opportunistic approach to
buying, selling, and building apartment communities, |
| • | empower site associates to manage our communities efficiently
and effectively, |
| • | measure and reward associates based on specific performance
targets, and |
| • | manage our capital structure to ensure predictability of
earnings and dividends. |

Acquisitions

During 2004, using the proceeds from our disposition program, equity and debt offerings, we acquired 28 communities with 8,060 apartment homes at a total cost of approximately $1.0 billion, including the assumption of secured debt. In addition, we purchased one parcel of land for $16.3 million.

When evaluating potential acquisitions, we consider:

| • | population growth, cost of alternative housing, overall
potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory
environment of the community in which the property is located, |
| --- | --- |
| • | geographic location, including proximity to our existing
communities which can deliver significant economies of scale, |
| • | construction quality, condition and design of the community, |
| • | current and projected cash flow of the property and the ability
to increase cash flow, |
| • | potential for capital appreciation of the property, |
| • | ability to increase the value and profitability of the property
through upgrades and repositioning, |
| • | terms of resident leases, including the potential for rent
increases, |
| • | occupancy and demand by residents for properties of a similar
type in the vicinity, |
| • | prospects for liquidity through sale, financing, or refinancing
of the property, and |
| • | competition from existing multifamily communities and the
potential for the construction of new multifamily properties in
the area. |

The following table summarizes our apartment acquisitions and our year-end ownership position for the past five years ( dollars in thousands ):

2004 2003 2002 2001 2000
Homes acquired 8,060 5,220 4,611 1,304 267
Homes owned at December 31 78,855 76,244 74,480 77,567 77,219
Total real estate owned, at carrying value $ 5,243,296 $ 4,351,551 $ 3,967,483 $ 3,907,667 $ 3,836,320

Dispositions

We regularly monitor and adjust our assets to increase portfolio profitability. During 2004, we sold over 5,400 of our slower growing, non-core apartment homes while exiting some markets in an effort to

3 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

increase the quality and performance of our portfolio. Proceeds from the disposition program were used primarily to reduce debt and fund acquisitions.

Factors we consider in deciding whether to dispose of a property include:

| • | current market price for an asset compared to projected
economics for that asset, |
| --- | --- |
| • | potential increases in new construction in the market area, |
| • | areas where the economy is not expected to grow
substantially, and |
| • | markets where we do not intend to establish long-term
concentration. |

At December 31, 2004, there were 12 apartment communities and one parcel of land classified as real estate held for disposition. We are in the market for replacement properties that will correspond with our expected sales activity to prevent dilution to earnings.

Upgrading and Development Activities

During 2004, we continued to reposition properties in targeted markets where there was an opportunity to add value and achieve greater than inflationary increases in rents over the long term. In 2004, we spent $17.6 million on three development projects that are expected to be completed in the first half of 2006. In addition, revenue enhancing capital expenditures, including kitchen and bath renovations, and other extensive interior upgrades totaled $45.9 million or $599 per home for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The following wholly-owned projects were under development as of December 31, 2004:

Apartment Apartment Cost to Date Budgeted Cost Estimated — Cost Expected — Completion
Homes Homes (In thousands) (In thousands) Per Home Date
2000 Post Phase III San Francisco, CA 24 — $ 2,754 $ 7,000 $ 291,700 1Q06
Verano at Town Square Rancho Cucamonga, CA 414 — 27,648 66,300 160,100 2Q06
Mandalay on the Lake Irving, TX 369 — 9,840 30,900 83,700 2Q06
807 — $ 40,242 $ 104,200 $ 129,100

In addition, we owned eight parcels of land held for future development aggregating $25.5 million at December 31, 2004. Four of the eight parcels represent additional phases to existing communities.

Financing Activities

As part of our plan to strengthen our capital structure, we utilized proceeds from dispositions, equity offerings and refinancings to extend maturities, pay down existing debt, and acquire apartment communities. The following is a list of our major financing activities in 2004:

| • | Repaid $131.8 million of secured debt and
$46.6 million of unsecured debt. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Sold $125 million aggregate principal amount of
5.13% senior unsecured notes due January 2014
($75 million in January and $50 million in March)
under our medium-term note program. These notes represent a
re-opening of the 5.13% senior unsecured notes due January
2014 that we issued in October 2003, and these notes constitute
a single series of notes, bringing the aggregate principal
amount outstanding of the 5.13% senior unsecured notes to
$200 million. The net proceeds of $126.0 million were
used to repay secured and unsecured debt obligations maturing in
the first quarter of 2004 and to fund the acquisition of
apartment homes. |

January 2012 and $25 million of 4.30% senior unsecured
notes due July 2007 under our new $750 million medium-term
note program in October 2004. The $25 million in notes
represent a re-opening of the 4.30% senior unsecured notes
due July 2007 that we issued in June 2004, and these notes
constitute a single series of notes, bringing the aggregate
principal amount outstanding of the 4.30% senior unsecured

$1.5 billion shelf registration statement in October 2004.
We sold an additional 525,000 shares of common stock at a
public offering price of $20.50 per share in connection
with the exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment
option in October 2004. The net proceeds of $81.9 million
were used to reduce outstanding debt balances under our
$500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was
used to fund the acquisition of apartment communities. |
| • | Filed a prospectus supplement under the Securities Act of 1933
in October 2004, relating to the offering of up to
5 million shares of our common stock that we may issue and
sell through an agent from time to time in “at the market
offerings,” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities
Act of 1933. Any sales of these shares will be made under our
$1.5 billion shelf registration statement pursuant to a
sales agreement that we entered into with the agent in July
2003. The sales price of the common stock that may be sold under
the sales agreement will be no lower than the minimum price
designated by us prior to the sale. As of December 31,
2004, we have sold a total of 472,000 shares of common
stock pursuant to the sales agreement at a weighted average
sales price of $20.36, for net proceeds to us of approximately
$9.4 million. |
| • | Exercised our right to redeem 2 million shares of our
Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock
in December 2004. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the
shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into
3,076,769 shares of common stock at a price of
$16.25 per share. |
| • | In conjunction with certain acquisitions, we assumed secured
mortgages of $311.7 million with maturity dates ranging
from September 2006 through June 2013. |

Markets and Competitive Conditions

At December 31, 2004, we owned 273 apartment communities in 43 markets in 17 states. Of those markets, 25 markets, or 61%, generated positive same community net operating income growth for the

5 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

fourth quarter of 2004 when compared to the same period in the prior year. We have a geographically diverse portfolio and we believe that this diversification increases investment opportunity and decreases the risk associated with cyclical local real estate markets and economies, thereby increasing the stability and predictability of our earnings.

We believe changing demographics will have a significant impact on the apartment industry over the next two decades. In particular, we believe the annual number of young people entering the workforce and creating households will be significantly higher over the next 10 to 15 years as compared to the number who entered the workforce over the past 10 years. The number of single people and single parent households continues to grow significantly. The immigrant population is also expected to grow at an accelerated pace. Each of these population segments has a high propensity to rent.

Despite a strengthening United States economy, significant productivity growth has adversely affected employment growth, which is the primary driver of demand in our business. In addition, a sustained low mortgage interest rate environment, combined with government and builder incentives to first time home buyers, has further siphoned off what would traditionally be demand for apartment homes. To maintain occupancy levels during these economic conditions, we have reduced rents, increased our marketing expenses, and provided concessions to our residents.

In most of our markets, competition for new residents is intense. Some competing communities offer features that our communities do not have. Competing communities frequently use concessions or lower rents to obtain temporary competitive advantages. Also, some competing communities are larger or newer than our communities. The competitive position of each community is different depending upon many factors including sub-market supply and demand. In addition, other real estate investors compete with us to acquire existing properties and to develop new properties. These competitors include insurance companies, pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment companies and other apartment REITs. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type that we would likely pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources, or lower capital costs, than we do.

We believe that, in general, we are well-positioned to compete effectively for residents and investments. We believe our competitive advantages include:

| • | a fully integrated organization with property management,
development, acquisition, marketing and financing expertise, |
| --- | --- |
| • | scalable operating and support systems, |
| • | purchasing power, |
| • | geographic diversification with a presence in 43 markets across
the country, and |
| • | significant presence in many of our major markets that allows us
to be a local operating expert. |

Moving forward, we will continue to emphasize aggressive lease management, improved expense control, increased resident retention efforts and the realignment of employee incentive plans tied to our bottom line performance. We believe this plan of operation, coupled with the portfolio’s strengths in targeting the middle-market of renters across a geographically diverse platform, should position us for continued operational improvement.

Communities

At December 31, 2004, our apartment portfolio included 273 communities having a total of 78,855 completed apartment homes. In addition, we had three apartment communities under development. The overall quality of our portfolio has significantly improved since 2001 with the disposition of non-core apartment homes and our upgrade program. The upgrading of the portfolio provides several key benefits related to portfolio profitability. It enables us to raise rents more significantly and to attract residents with higher levels of disposable income who are more likely to accept the transfer of expenses, such as water

Table of Contents

and sewer costs, from the landlord to the resident. In addition, it potentially reduces recurring capital expenditures per apartment home, and therefore increases cash flow.

Same Communities

For 2004, same community property operating income decreased 1.2% or $3.9 million compared to 2003. The overall decrease in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 0.5% or $2.3 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was offset by a 3.2% or $6.2 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 7.7% or $2.8 million decrease in vacancy loss and a 14.3% or $2.1 million increase in utility reimbursement income. These increases in income were offset by a 0.7% or $3.6 million decrease in rental rates. Physical occupancy increased 0.8% to 93.8%.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 5.4% or $2.8 million increase in personnel costs, a 4.7% or $1.5 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 3.5% or $1.1 million increase in utilities expense, and a 1.6% or $0.8 million increase in property taxes.

Customers

We focus on the broad middle-market segment of the apartment market that generally consists of renters-by-necessity. This group includes young professionals, blue-collar families, single parent households, older singles, immigrants, non-related parties and families renting while waiting to purchase a home. We believe this segment provides the highest profit potential in terms of rent growth, stability of occupancy and investment opportunities.

We believe there will be a significant increase in the number of younger renters over the next 10 to 15 years, and that the immigrant population will remain a significant and growing part of the renter base. Accordingly, we plan to target some of our incremental investments to communities that will be attractive to younger households or to the immigrant populations. These communities will often be located close to where these residents work, shop and play.

Tax Matters

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To continue to qualify as a REIT, we must continue to meet certain tests that, among other things, generally require that our assets consist primarily of real estate, our income be derived primarily from real estate and that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (other than our net capital gain) to our stockholders. Provided we maintain our qualification as a REIT, we will generally not be subject to federal income taxes at the corporate level on our net income to the extent net income is distributed to our stockholders.

Inflation

Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less, which may enable us to realize increased rents upon renewal of existing leases or the beginning of new leases. Such short-term leases generally minimize the risk to us of the adverse effects of inflation, although as a general rule these leases permit residents to leave at the end of the lease term without penalty. Short-term leases and relatively consistent demand allow rents, and therefore cash flow from the portfolio, to provide an attractive hedge against inflation.

Environmental Matters

To date, compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection regulations has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position. However, in the past, the issue has been raised regarding the presence of asbestos and other hazardous materials in existing real estate properties. We have a property management plan for hazardous materials. As part of the plan, Phase I environmental site investigations and reports have been completed for each property we own. In

7 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

addition, all proposed acquisitions are inspected prior to acquisition. The inspections are conducted by qualified environmental consultants, and we review the issued report prior to the purchase or development of any property. Nevertheless, it is possible that our environmental assessments will not reveal all environmental liabilities, or that some material environmental liabilities exist of which we are unaware. In some cases, we have abandoned otherwise economically attractive acquisitions because the costs of removal or control of hazardous materials have been prohibitive or we have been unwilling to accept the potential risks involved. We do not believe we will be required to engage in any large-scale abatement at any of our properties. We believe that through professional environmental inspections and testing for asbestos, lead paint and other hazardous materials, coupled with a conservative posture toward accepting known risk, we can minimize our exposure to potential liability associated with environmental hazards.

Federal legislation requires owners and landlords of residential housing constructed prior to 1978 to disclose to potential residents or purchasers of the communities any known lead paint hazards and imposes treble damages for failure to provide such notification. In addition, lead based paint in any of the communities may result in lead poisoning in children residing in that community if chips or particles of such lead based paint are ingested, and we may be held liable under state laws for any such injuries caused by ingestion of lead based paint by children living at the communities.

We are unaware of any environmental hazards at any of our properties that individually or in the aggregate may have a material adverse impact on our operations or financial position. We have not been notified by any governmental authority, and we are not otherwise aware, of any material non-compliance, liability, or claim relating to environmental liabilities in connection with any of our properties. We do not believe that the cost of continued compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on us or our financial condition or results of operations. Future environmental laws, regulations, or ordinances, however, may require additional remediation of existing conditions that are not currently actionable. Also, if more stringent requirements are imposed on us in the future, the costs of compliance could have a material adverse effect on us and our financial condition.

Insurance

We carry comprehensive general liability coverage on our communities, with limits of liability customary within the industry to insure against liability claims and related defense costs. We are also insured, in all material respects, against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period.

Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects

There are many factors that affect our business and our results of operations, some of which are beyond our control. The following is a description of some of the important factors that may cause our actual results of operations in future periods to differ materially from those currently expected or desired.

Unfavorable Changes in Apartment Market and Economic Conditions Could Adversely Affect Occupancy Levels and Rental Rates. Market and economic conditions in the metropolitan areas in which we operate may significantly affect our occupancy levels and rental rates and, therefore, our profitability. Factors that may adversely affect these conditions include the following:

• a reduction in jobs and other local economic downturns,
• declines in mortgage interest rates, making alternative housing
more affordable,
• government or builder incentives which enable first time
homebuyers to put little or no money down, making alternative
housing decisions easier to make,
• oversupply of, or reduced demand for, apartment homes,
• declines in household formation, and

8 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

• rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs.

The strength of the United States economy has become increasingly susceptible to global events and threats of terrorism. At the same time, productivity enhancements and the increased exportation of labor have resulted in limited job growth despite an improving economy. Continued weakness in job creation, or any worsening of current economic conditions, generally and in our principal market areas, could have a material adverse effect on our occupancy levels, our rental rates and our ability to strategically acquire and dispose of apartment communities. This may impair our ability to satisfy our financial obligations and pay distributions to our stockholders.

Acquisitions or New Development May Not Achieve Anticipated Results. We intend to continue to selectively acquire apartment communities that meet our investment criteria. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:

| • | an acquired community may fail to perform as we expected in
analyzing our investment, or a significant exposure related to
the acquired property may go undetected during our due diligence
procedures, |
| --- | --- |
| • | when we acquire an apartment community, we often invest
additional amounts in it with the intention of increasing
profitability. These additional investments may not produce the
anticipated improvements in profitability, and |
| • | new developments may not achieve pro forma rents or occupancy
levels, or problems with construction or local building codes
may delay initial occupancy dates for all or a portion of a
development community. |

Possible Difficulty of Selling Apartment Communities Could Limit Operational and Financial Flexibility. We periodically dispose of apartment communities that no longer meet our strategic objectives, but market conditions could change and purchasers may not be willing to pay prices acceptable to us. A weak market may limit our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changing economic conditions. Furthermore, a significant portion of the proceeds from our overall property sales may be held by intermediaries in order for some sales to qualify as like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, so that any related capital gain can be deferred for federal income tax purposes. As a result, we may not have immediate access to all of the cash flow generated from our property sales. In addition, federal tax laws limit our ability to profit on the sale of communities that we have owned for fewer than four years, and this limitation may prevent us from selling communities when market conditions are favorable.

Increased Competition Could Limit Our Ability to Lease Apartment Homes or Increase or Maintain Rents. Our apartment communities compete with numerous housing alternatives in attracting residents, including other apartment communities and single-family rental homes, as well as owner occupied single-and multi-family homes. Competitive housing in a particular area could adversely affect our ability to lease apartment homes and increase or maintain rents.

Insufficient Cash Flow Could Affect Our Debt Financing and Create Refinancing Risk. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our operating income and cash flow will be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, or could restrict our borrowing capacity under our line of credit due to debt covenant restraints. We cannot assure you that sufficient cash flow will be available to make all required principal payments and still satisfy our distribution requirements to maintain our status as a REIT, nor can we assure you that the full limits of our line of credit will be available to us if our operating performance falls outside the constraints of our debt covenants. Additionally, we are likely to need to refinance substantially all of our outstanding debt as it matures. We may not be able to refinance existing debt, or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt, which could create pressures to sell assets or to issue additional equity when we would otherwise not choose to do so.

Failure to Generate Sufficient Revenue Could Impair Debt Service Payments and Distributions to Stockholders. If our apartment communities do not generate sufficient net rental income to meet rental expenses, our ability to make required payments of interest and principal on our debt securities and to pay distributions to our stockholders will be adversely affected. The following factors, among others, may affect the net rental income generated by our apartment communities:

• the national and local economies,
• local real estate market conditions, such as an oversupply of
apartment homes,
• tenants’ perceptions of the safety, convenience, and
attractiveness of our communities and the neighborhoods where
they are located,
• our ability to provide adequate management, maintenance and
insurance, and
• rental expenses, including real estate taxes and utilities.

Expenses associated with our investment in a community, such as debt service, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in rental income from that community. If a community is mortgaged to secure payment of debt and we are unable to make the mortgage payments, we could sustain a loss as a result of foreclosure on the community or the exercise of other remedies by the mortgage holder.

Debt Level May Be Increased. Our current debt policy does not contain any limitations on the level of debt that we may incur, although our ability to incur debt is limited by covenants in our bank and other credit agreements. We manage our debt to be in compliance with these debt covenants, but subject to compliance with these covenants, we may increase the amount of our debt at any time without a concurrent improvement in our ability to service the additional debt.

Financing May Not Be Available and Could be Dilutive. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including common and preferred equity. Debt or equity financing may not be available in sufficient amounts, or on favorable terms or at all. If we issue additional equity securities to finance developments and acquisitions instead of incurring debt, the interests of our existing stockholders could be diluted.

Development and Construction Risks Could Impact Our Profitability. We intend to continue to develop and construct apartment communities. Development activities may be conducted through wholly-owned affiliated companies or through joint ventures with unaffiliated parties. Our development and construction activities may be exposed to the following risks:

| • | we may be unable to obtain, or face delays in obtaining,
necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other
required governmental permits and authorizations, which could
result in increased development costs and could require us to
abandon our activities entirely with respect to a project for
which we are unable to obtain permits or authorizations, |
| --- | --- |
| • | if we are unable to find joint venture partners to help fund the
development of a community or otherwise obtain acceptable
financing for the developments, our development capacity may be
limited, |
| • | we may abandon development opportunities that we have already
begun to explore, and we may fail to recover expenses already
incurred in connection with exploring such opportunities, |
| • | we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of a
community on schedule, or incur development or construction
costs that exceed our original estimates, and we may be unable
to charge rents that would compensate for any increase in such
costs, |
| • | occupancy rates and rents at a newly-developed community may
fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including market and
economic conditions, preventing us from meeting our
profitability goals for that community, and |

• when we sell to third parties homes or properties that we developed or renovated, we may be subject to warranty or construction defect claims that are uninsured or exceed the limits of our insurance.

Construction costs have been increasing in our existing markets, and the costs of upgrading acquired communities have, in some cases, exceeded our original estimates. We may experience similar cost increases in the future. Our inability to charge rents that will be sufficient to offset the effects of any increases in these costs may impair our profitability.

Failure to Succeed in New Markets May Limit Our Growth. We may from time to time make acquisitions outside of our existing market areas if appropriate opportunities arise. We may be exposed to a variety of risks if we choose to enter new markets, and we may not be able to operate successfully in new markets. These risks include, among others:

| • | inability to accurately evaluate local apartment market
conditions and local economies, |
| --- | --- |
| • | inability to obtain land for development or to identify
appropriate acquisition opportunities, |
| • | inability to hire and retain key personnel, and |
| • | lack of familiarity with local governmental and permitting
procedures. |

Changing Interest Rates Could Increase Interest Costs and Could Affect the Market Price of Our Securities. We currently have, and expect to incur in the future, interest-bearing debt at rates that vary with market interest rates. Therefore, if interest rates increase, our interest costs will rise to the extent our variable rate debt is not hedged effectively. In addition, an increase in market interest rates may lead our security holders to demand a higher annual yield, which could adversely affect the market price of our common and preferred stock and debt securities.

Limited Investment Opportunities Could Adversely Affect Our Growth. We expect that other real estate investors will compete with us to acquire existing properties and to develop new properties. These competitors include insurance companies, pension and investment funds, developer partnerships, investment companies and other apartment REITs. This competition could increase prices for properties of the type that we would likely pursue, and our competitors may have greater resources than we do. As a result, we may not be able to make attractive investments on favorable terms, which could adversely affect our growth.

Failure to Integrate Acquired Communities and New Personnel Could Create Inefficiencies. To grow successfully, we must be able to apply our experience in managing our existing portfolio of apartment communities to a larger number of properties. In addition, we must be able to integrate new management and operations personnel as our organization grows in size and complexity. Failures in either area will result in inefficiencies that could adversely affect our expected return on our investments and our overall profitability.

Interest Rate Hedging Contracts May Be Ineffective and May Result in Material Charges. From time to time when we anticipate issuing debt securities, we may seek to limit our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates during the period prior to the pricing of the securities by entering into interest rate hedging contracts. We may do this to increase the predictability of our financing costs. Also, from time to time we may rely on interest rate hedging contracts to limit our exposure under variable rate debt to unfavorable changes in market interest rates. If the terms of new debt securities are not within the parameters of, or market interest rates fall below that which we incur under a particular interest rate hedging contract, the contract is ineffective. Furthermore, the settlement of interest rate hedging contracts has involved and may in the future involve material charges.

Potential Liability for Environmental Contamination Could Result in Substantial Costs. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, as a current or former owner or operator of real estate, we could be required to investigate and remediate the effects of contamination of currently or formerly owned real estate by hazardous or toxic substances, often regardless of our knowledge of or responsibility

11 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

for the contamination and solely by virtue of our current or former ownership or operation of the real estate. In addition, we could be held liable to a governmental authority or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred in connection with the contamination. These costs could be substantial, and in many cases environmental laws create liens in favor of governmental authorities to secure their payment. The presence of such substances or a failure to properly remediate any resulting contamination could materially and adversely affect our ability to borrow against, sell or rent an affected property.

We are Subject to Certain Tax Risks. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. Our qualification as a REIT requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual and quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations, and involves the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control. We intend that our current organization and method of operation enable us to qualify as a REIT, but we may not so qualify or we may not be able to remain so qualified in the future. In addition, U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs and other corporations and the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended at any time, potentially with retroactive effect. Future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT or adversely affect our stockholders.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on our taxable income at corporate rates, and would not be allowed to deduct dividends paid to our stockholders in computing our taxable income. We may also be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify. The additional tax liability would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders. In addition, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders. Even if we continue to qualify as a REIT, we will continue to be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property.

We May Conduct a Portion of Our Business Through Taxable REIT Subsidiaries, Which Could Have Adverse Tax Consequences. We have established several taxable REIT subsidiaries. Despite our qualification as a REIT, our taxable REIT subsidiaries must pay federal income tax on their taxable income. In addition, we must comply with various tests to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our income from and investments in our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally do not constitute permissible income and investments for these tests. While we will attempt to ensure that our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not adversely affect our REIT qualification, we cannot provide assurance that we will successfully achieve that result. Furthermore, we may be subject to a 100% penalty tax, or we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on real property sales, or our taxable REIT subsidiaries may be denied deductions, to the extent our dealings with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not deemed to be arm’s length in nature.

Certain Property Transfers May Generate Prohibited Transaction Income, Resulting in a Penalty Tax on Gain Attributable to the Transaction. From time to time, we may transfer or otherwise dispose of some of our properties. Under the Internal Revenue Code, any gain resulting from transfers of properties that we hold as inventory or primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business would be treated as income from a prohibited transaction subject to a 100% penalty tax. Since we acquire properties for investment purposes, we do not believe that our occasional transfers or disposals of property are prohibited transactions. However, whether property is held for investment purposes is a question of fact that depends on all the facts and circumstances surrounding the particular transaction. The Internal Revenue Service may contend that certain transfers or disposals of properties by us are prohibited transactions. If the Internal Revenue Service were to argue successfully that a transfer or disposition of property constituted a prohibited transaction, then we would be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on any gain allocable to us from the prohibited transaction and we may jeopardize our ability to retain future gains on real property sales. In addition, income from a prohibited transaction might adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Maryland Law May Limit the Ability of a Third Party to Acquire Control of Us, Which May Not be in Our Stockholders’ Best Interests. Maryland business statutes may limit the ability of a third party to acquire control of us. As a Maryland corporation, we are subject to various Maryland laws which may have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire our company and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offers, even if our acquisition would be in our stockholders’ best interests. The Maryland General Corporation Law restricts mergers and other business combination transactions between us and any person who acquires beneficial ownership of shares of our stock representing 10% or more of the voting power without our board of directors’ prior approval. Any such business combination transaction could not be completed until five years after the person acquired such voting power, and generally only with the approval of stockholders representing 80% of all votes entitled to be cast and 66 2 / 3 % of the votes entitled to be cast, excluding the interested stockholder, or upon payment of a fair price. Maryland law also provides generally that a person who acquires shares of our equity stock that represent 10% (and certain higher levels) of the voting power in electing directors will have no voting rights unless approved by a vote of two-thirds of the shares eligible to vote.

Limitations on Share Ownership and Limitations on the Ability of Our Stockholders to Effect a Change in Control of Our Company May Prevent Takeovers That are Beneficial to Our Stockholders. One of the requirements for maintenance of our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes is that no more than 50% in value of our outstanding capital stock may be owned by five or fewer individuals, including entities specified in the Internal Revenue Code, during the last half of any taxable year. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation contain ownership and transfer restrictions relating to our stock primarily to assist us in complying with this requirement. These restrictions include a provision that generally limits a person from beneficially owning or constructively owning shares of our outstanding equity stock in excess of a 9.9% ownership interest, unless our board of directors exempts the person from such ownership limitation, provided that any such exemption shall not allow the person to exceed 13% of the value of our outstanding equity stock. These provisions may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing someone from taking control of us, even though a change of control might involve a premium price for our stockholders or might otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interests.

Under the terms of our shareholder rights plan, our board of directors can, in effect, prevent a person or group from acquiring more than 15% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Unless our board of directors approves the person’s purchase, after that person acquires more than 15% of our outstanding common stock, all other stockholders will have the right to purchase securities from us at a price that is less than their then fair market value. Purchases by other stockholders would substantially reduce the value and influence of the shares of our common stock owned by the acquiring person. Our board of directors, however, can prevent the shareholder rights plan from operating in this manner. This gives our board of directors significant discretion to approve or disapprove a person’s efforts to acquire a large interest in us.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. We believe that such liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

ITEM 5. Market For Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Common Stock

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “UDR.” The following tables set forth the quarterly high and low sale prices per common share reported on the NYSE for each quarter of the last two years. Distribution information for common stock reflects distributions declared per share for each calendar quarter and paid at the end of the following month.

High Low Distributions — Declared
2004
1st Quarter $ 19.70 $ 17.85 $ .2925
2nd Quarter 19.99 17.10 .2925
3rd Quarter 21.38 18.83 .2925
4th Quarter 24.80 19.51 .2925
2003
1st Quarter $ 16.76 $ 15.13 $ .2850
2nd Quarter 17.72 15.98 .2850
3rd Quarter 18.96 17.07 .2850
4th Quarter 19.53 17.39 .2850

On March 1, 2005, the closing sale price of our common stock was $22.35 per share on the NYSE and there were 6,779 holders of record of the 137,023,872 outstanding shares of our common stock.

We have determined that, for federal income tax purposes, approximately 66% of the distributions for each of the four quarters of 2004 represented ordinary income, 17% represented long-term capital gain, 7% represented unrecaptured section 1250 gain, and 10% represented return of capital to our stockholders.

We pay regular quarterly distributions to holders of shares of our common stock. Future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our actual funds from operations, financial condition and capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and other factors. The annual distribution payment for calendar year 2004 necessary for us to maintain our status as a REIT was approximately $0.69 per share. We declared total distributions of $1.17 per share of common stock for 2004.

A covenant in our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility prohibits the payment of dividends and distributions on our common stock in excess of 95% of our “Funds From Operations,” as defined in the credit facility, during any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters. Despite this covenant but except as provided in the following sentence, we may pay dividends required to maintain our qualification as a REIT

under the Internal Revenue Code. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist under such facility, this covenant prohibits the payment of dividends and distributions in all circumstances.

Series B Preferred Stock

The Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series B has no voting rights except as required by law. The Series B has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any of our other securities. The Series B is not redeemable prior to May 29, 2007. On or after this date, the Series B may be redeemed for cash at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption price is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of our other capital stock. All dividends due and payable on the Series B have been accrued or paid as of the end of each fiscal year.

Distributions declared on the Series B in 2004 were $2.15 per share or $0.5375 per quarter. The Series B is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “UDRpb.” At December 31, 2004, a total of 5,416,009 shares of the Series B were outstanding.

Series D Preferred Stock

All of the remaining outstanding shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock have been converted by the holder into shares of our common stock. The Series D had no stated maturity, no stated par value, no voting rights except as required by law, and a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series D was convertible at any time into 1.5385 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, at the option of the holder of the Series D. We had the option to redeem at any time all or part of the Series D at a price per share of $25, payable in cash, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, provided that the current market price of our common stock was at least equal to the conversion price, initially set at $16.25 per share.

In 2004, we exercised our right to redeem the remaining 2 million shares of our Series D that were outstanding. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,769 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. In 2003, we exercised our right to redeem 6 million shares of our Series D. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the 6 million shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 9,230,923 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. Because the shares of common stock that were issued upon conversion of the Series D were issued in transactions not involving a public offering, the transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Distributions declared on the Series D in 2004 were $2.09 per share or $0.5223 per quarter. The Series D was not listed on any exchange. At December 31, 2004, there were no outstanding shares of the Series D.

Series E Preferred Stock

The Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $16.61 per share. Subject to certain adjustments and conditions, each share of the Series E is convertible at any time and from time to time at the holder’s option into one share of our common stock. The holders of the Series E are entitled to vote on an as-converted basis as a single class in combination with the holders of common stock at any meeting of our stockholders for the election of directors or for any other purpose on which the holders of common stock are entitled to vote. The Series E has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or any mandatory redemption.

In 2004, Series E holders converted a total of 621,405 shares of Series E into 621,405 shares of our common stock. Because the shares of common stock that were issued upon conversion of the Series E were issued in transactions not involving a public offering, the transactions are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in accordance with Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

Table of Contents

Distributions declared on the Series E in 2004 were $1.33 per share or $0.3322 per quarter. The Series E is not listed on any exchange. At December 31, 2004 a total of 2,803,812 shares of the Series E were outstanding.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

We have a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan under which holders of our common stock and our Series B preferred stock may elect to automatically reinvest their distributions and make additional cash payments to acquire additional shares of our common stock. Stockholders who do not participate in the plan continue to receive dividends as declared. As of March 1, 2005, there were 3,749 participants in the plan.

Operating Partnership Units

From time to time we issue shares of our common stock in exchange for operating partnership units, or OP Units, tendered to our operating partnerships, United Dominion Realty, L.P. and Heritage Communities L.P., for redemption in accordance with the provisions of their respective partnership agreements. At December 31, 2004, there were 10,024,380 OP Units (of which 1,791,329 and 0 are owned by the holders of the Series A OPPS and the Series B OPPS, respectively (see Notes 1 and 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements)) and 355,255 OP Units in United Dominion Realty, L.P. and Heritage Communities L.P., respectively, that were owned by limited partners. The holder of the OP Units has the right to require United Dominion Realty, L.P. to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the holder in exchange for a cash payment based on the market value of our common stock at the time of redemption. However, United Dominion Realty, L.P.’s obligation to pay the cash amount is subject to the prior right of the company to acquire such OP Units in exchange for either the cash amount or shares of our common stock. Heritage Communities L.P. OP Units are convertible into common stock in lieu of cash, at our option, once the holder elects to convert, at an exchange ratio of 1.575 shares for each OP Unit. During 2004, we issued a total of 170,209 shares of common stock in exchange for OP Units.

Purchases of Equity Securities

On June 3, 1999, our board of directors authorized the repurchase in open market transactions, in block transactions, or otherwise, of up to 5.5 million shares of common stock. On December 5, 2000, our board of directors authorized the purchase of up to an additional 5.5 million shares of common stock in open market transactions, in block purchases or otherwise. As of December 31, 2004, we have repurchased a total of 8,749,763 shares of common stock under this program.

| (a) | Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income
(computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of
depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and
after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint
ventures. This definition conforms with the National Association
of Real Estate Investment Trust’s definition issued in
April 2002. We consider FFO in evaluating property acquisitions
and our operating performance and believe that FFO should be
considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income
and cash flows as a measure of our activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. FFO does not represent
cash generated from operating activities in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. For 2004, FFO
includes a charge of $5.5 million to cover hurricane
related expenses. For 2001, FFO includes a charge of
$8.6 million related to workforce reductions, other
severance costs, executive office relocation costs, and the
write down of seven undeveloped land sites along with our
investment in an online apartment leasing company. For 2000, FFO
includes a charge of $3.7 million related to the settlement
of litigation and an organizational charge. For the years ended
December 31, 2004 and 2003, distributions to preferred
stockholders exclude $5.7 million and $19.3 million,
respectively, related to premiums on preferred stock conversions. |
| --- | --- |
| (b) | Gains on the disposition of real estate investments developed
for sale is defined as net sales proceeds less a tax provision
(such development by REITs must be conducted in a taxable REIT
subsidiary) and the gross investment basis of the asset before
accumulated depreciation. We consider FFO with gains (or losses)
on real estate development for sale to be a meaningful
supplemental measure of performance because of the short-term
use of funds to produce a profit which differs from the
traditional long-term investment in real estate for REITs. |

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations either through operating cash flows, the sale or maturity of existing assets, or by the acquisition of additional funds through capital management. Both the coordination of asset and liability maturities and effective capital management are important to the maintenance of liquidity. Our primary source of liquidity is our cash flow from operations as determined by rental rates, occupancy levels, and operating expenses related to our portfolio of apartment homes. We routinely use our unsecured bank credit facility to temporarily fund certain investing and financing activities prior to arranging for longer-term financing. During the past several years, proceeds from the sale of real estate have been used for both investing and financing activities.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations and borrowings under credit arrangements. We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements such as scheduled debt maturities, the repayment of financing on development activities, and potential property acquisitions, through long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, the disposition of properties, and the issuance of additional debt or equity securities. We believe that our net cash provided by operations will continue to be adequate to meet both operating requirements and the payment of dividends by the company in accordance with REIT requirements in both the short- and long-term. Likewise, the budgeted expenditures for improvements and renovations of certain properties are expected to be funded from property operations.

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which provides for the issuance of up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in common shares, preferred shares, and debt securities to facilitate future financing activities in the public capital markets. This shelf registration statement replaces our previous $1.0 billion shelf registration statement and includes $331.3 million of unissued securities carried forward from the previous $1.0 billion shelf registration statement. Throughout 2004, we completed various financing activities under our $1.5 billion shelf registration statement. These activities are summarized in the section titled “Financing Activities” that follows. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $1.1 billion of equity and debt securities remained available for use under the shelf registration statement. Access to capital markets is dependent on market conditions at the time of issuance.

In July 2004, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded our rating on our senior unsecured debt to Baa2 from Baa3 and our preferred stock to Baa3 from Ba1 with a stable outlook.

In October 2004, we filed a prospectus supplement under the Securities Act of 1933 relating to the offering of up to 5 million shares of our common stock that we may issue and sell through an agent from time to time in “at the market offerings,” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933. Any sales of these shares will be made under our $1.5 billion shelf registration statement pursuant to a sales agreement that we entered into with the agent in July 2003. The sales price of the common stock that may be sold under the sales agreement will be no lower than the minimum price designated by us prior to the sale. As of December 31, 2004, we have sold a total of 472,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the sales agreement at a weighted average sales price of $20.36, for net proceeds to us of approximately $9.4 million.

Future Capital Needs

Future development expenditures are expected to be funded primarily through joint ventures, with proceeds from the sale of property, with construction loans and, to a lesser extent, with cash flows provided by operating activities. Acquisition activity in strategic markets is expected to be largely financed through the issuance of equity and debt securities, the issuance of operating partnership units, the assumption or placement of secured and/or unsecured debt, and by the reinvestment of proceeds from the sale of properties.

Table of Contents

During 2005, we have approximately $27.9 million of secured debt and $71.1 million of unsecured debt maturing and we anticipate repaying that debt with proceeds from borrowings under our secured or unsecured credit facilities, or the issuance of new unsecured debt securities or equity.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are those having the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. These policies include those related to (1) capital expenditures, (2) impairment of long-lived assets, and (3) real estate investment properties. With respect to these critical accounting policies, we believe that the application of judgments and assessments is consistently applied and produces financial information that fairly depicts the results of operations for all periods presented.

Capital Expenditures

In conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, we capitalize those expenditures related to acquiring new assets, materially enhancing the value of an existing asset, or substantially extending the useful life of an existing asset. Expenditures necessary to maintain an existing property in ordinary operating condition are expensed as incurred.

During 2004, $82.4 million or $1,075 per home was spent on capital expenditures for all of our communities, excluding development. These capital improvements included turnover related expenditures for floor coverings and appliances, other recurring capital expenditures such as HVAC equipment, roofs, siding, parking lots, and other non-revenue enhancing capital expenditures, which aggregated $36.3 million or $473 per home. In addition, revenue enhancing capital expenditures, kitchen and bath upgrades, and other extensive interior upgrades totaled $45.9 million or $599 per home, and major renovations totaled $0.2 million or $3 per home for the year ended December 31, 2004.

The following table outlines capital expenditures and repair and maintenance costs for all of our communities, excluding real estate under development for the periods presented:

Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31,
(dollars in thousands) (per home)
2004 2003 % Change 2004 2003 % Change
Turnover capital expenditures $ 16,863 $ 15,044 12.1 % $ 220 $ 202 8.9 %
Other recurring capital expenditures 19,397 19,478 -0.4 % 253 262 -3.4 %
Total recurring capital expenditures 36,260 34,522 5.0 % 473 464 1.9 %
Revenue enhancing improvements 45,933 15,408 198.1 % 599 207 189.4 %
Major renovations 197 3,216 -93.9 % 3 43 -93.0 %
Total capital improvements $ 82,390 $ 53,146 55.0 % $ 1,075 $ 714 50.6 %
Repair and maintenance 42,196 40,615 3.9 % 550 546 0.7 %
Total expenditures $ 124,586 $ 93,761 32.9 % $ 1,625 $ 1,260 29.0 %

Total capital improvements increased $29.2 million or $361 per home in 2004 compared to 2003. We will continue to selectively add revenue enhancing improvements which we believe will provide a return on investment substantially in excess of our cost of capital. Recurring capital expenditures during 2005 are currently expected to be approximately $510 per home.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market

and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair market value. Our estimates of fair market value represent our best estimate based upon industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.

Real Estate Investment Properties

We purchase real estate investment properties from time to time and allocate the purchase price to various components, such as land, buildings, and intangibles related to in-place leases in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all cash flows expected to be generated from the property including an initial lease up period. We determine the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. In addition, we consider the cost of acquiring similar leases, the foregone rents associated with the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period. The fair value of in-place leases is recorded and amortized as amortization expense over the remaining contractual lease period.

Statements of Cash Flow

The following discussion explains the changes in net cash provided by operating and financing activities and net cash used in investing activities that are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2004, our net cash flow provided by operating activities was $251.7 million compared to $234.9 million for 2003. During 2004, the increase in cash flow from operating activities resulted primarily from an increase in property operating income due to the overall increase in our apartment community portfolio (see discussion under “Apartment Community Operations”).

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2004, net cash used in investing activities was $596.0 million compared to $304.2 million for 2003. Changes in the level of investing activities from period to period reflects our strategy as it relates to our acquisition, capital expenditure, development, and disposition programs, as well as the impact of the capital market environment on these activities, all of which are discussed in further detail below.

Acquisitions

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we acquired 28 apartment communities with 8,060 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $1.0 billion and one parcel of land for $16.3 million. In 2003, we acquired 3,514 apartment homes in 11 communities for an aggregate consideration of $347.7 million and one parcel of land for $3.1 million. In addition, we purchased the remaining 47% joint venture partners’ ownership interest in nine communities with 1,706 apartment homes in Salinas and Pacific Grove, California, for $76.0 million in June 2003.

Our long-term strategic plan is to achieve greater operating efficiencies by investing in fewer, more concentrated markets. As a result, we have been expanding our interests in the fast growing Southern California, Florida, and Metropolitan DC markets over the past two years. During 2005, we plan to continue to channel new investments into those markets we believe will provide the best investment returns. Markets will be targeted based upon defined criteria including past performance, expected job growth, current and anticipated housing supply and demand, and the ability to attract and support household formation.

Real Estate Under Development

Development activity is focused in core markets in which we have strong operations in place. For the year ended December 31, 2004, we invested approximately $19.1 million in development projects, an increase of $5.5 million from our 2003 level of $13.6 million.

The following projects were under development as of December 31, 2004:

Apartment Apartment Estimated — Cost Per Expected — Completion
Homes Homes Cost to Date Budgeted Cost Home Date
(In thousands) (In thousands)
2000 Post Phase III San Francisco, CA 24 — $ 2,754 $ 7,000 $ 291,700 1Q06
Verano at Town Square Rancho Cucamonga, CA 414 — 27,648 66,300 160,100 2Q06
Mandalay on the Lake Irving, TX 369 — 9,840 30,900 83,700 2Q06
807 — $ 40,242 $ 104,200 $ 129,100

In addition, we own eight parcels of land that we continue to hold for future development that had a carrying value as of December 31, 2004 of $25.5 million. Four of the eight parcels represent additional phases to existing communities as we plan to add apartment homes adjacent to currently owned communities that are in improving markets.

Disposition of Investments

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we sold 19 communities with 5,425 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $270.1 million. In addition, we sold 24 of 36 townhomes of a community for $7.3 million. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $52.9 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were used primarily to reduce debt.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, we sold seven communities with 1,927 apartment homes for an aggregate consideration of $88.9 million, one parcel of land for $1.3 million, and two commercial properties for an aggregate consideration of $7.3 million. We recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $15.9 million on these sales. Proceeds from the sales were used primarily to reduce debt.

During 2005, we plan to continue to pursue our strategy of exiting markets where long-term growth prospects are limited and redeploying capital into markets that would enhance future growth rates and economies of scale. We intend to use the proceeds from 2005 dispositions to reduce debt, acquire communities, and fund development activity.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during 2004 was $347.3 million compared to $70.9 million in 2003. As part of the plan to improve our balance sheet, we utilized proceeds from dispositions, equity and debt offerings, and refinancings to extend maturities, pay down existing debt, and purchase new properties.

The following is a summary of our financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2004:

| • | Repaid $131.8 million of secured debt and
$46.6 million of unsecured debt. |
| --- | --- |
| • | Sold $125 million aggregate principal amount of 5.13%
senior unsecured notes due January 2014 ($75 million in
January and $50 million in March) under our medium-term note

Credit Facilities

We have four secured revolving credit facilities with Fannie Mae with an aggregate commitment of $860 million and one with Freddie Mac for $72 million. As of December 31, 2004, $656.3 million was outstanding under the Fannie Mae credit facilities leaving $203.7 million of unused capacity. The Fannie Mae credit facilities are for an initial term of ten years, bear interest at floating and fixed rates, and can be extended for an additional five years at our discretion. As of December 31, 2004, $20.7 million had been funded under the Freddie Mac credit facility leaving $51.3 million of unused capacity. The Freddie Mac credit facility is for an initial term of five years with an option for us to extend for an additional four-year term at the then market rate. As of December 31, 2004, aggregate borrowings under both the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac credit facilities were $677 million. We have $288.9 million of the funded balance fixed at a weighted average interest rate of 6.4%. The remaining balance on these facilities is currently at a weighted average variable rate of 2.7%.

We have a $500 million three-year unsecured revolving credit facility that matures in March 2006. If we receive commitments from additional lenders or if the initial lenders increase their commitments, we will be able to increase the credit facility to $650 million. At our option, the credit facility can be extended one year to March 2007. Based on our current credit ratings, the credit facility bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 90 basis points. As of December 31, 2004, $278.1 million was outstanding under the credit facility leaving $221.9 million of unused capacity.

The Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac credit facilities and the bank revolving credit facility are subject to customary financial covenants and limitations.

Derivative Instruments

As part of our overall interest rate risk management strategy, we have used derivatives as a means to fix the interest rates of variable rate debt obligations or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. Our derivative transactions used for interest rate risk management included various interest rate swaps with indices that related to the pricing of specific financial instruments of the company. We believe that we appropriately controlled our interest rate risk through the use of derivative instruments. During 2004, the fair value of our derivative instruments improved from an unfavorable $1.6 million at December 31, 2003, to $0 at December 31, 2004. This decrease was due to the normal progression of the fair market value of our derivative instruments towards zero as they matured. As of December 31, 2004, all of United Dominion’s interest rate swap agreements had matured.

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to interest rate risk associated with variable rate notes payable and maturing debt that has to be refinanced. United Dominion does not hold financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes, but rather issues these financial instruments to finance its portfolio of real estate assets. Interest rate sensitivity is the relationship between changes in market interest rates and the fair value of market rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Our earnings are affected as changes in short-term interest rates impact our cost of variable rate debt and maturing fixed rate debt. A large portion of our market risk is exposure to short-term interest rates from variable rate borrowings outstanding under our Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac credit facilities and our bank revolving credit facility, which totaled $388.1 million and $278.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2004. The impact on our financial statements of refinancing fixed rate debt that matured during 2004 was immaterial.

If market interest rates for variable rate debt average 100 basis points more in 2005 than they did during 2004, our interest expense would increase, and income before taxes would decrease by $7.4 million. Comparatively, if market interest rates for variable rate debt had averaged 100 basis points more in 2004 than in 2003, our interest expense would have increased, and net income would have decreased by $5.8 million. If market rates for fixed rate debt were 100 basis points higher at December 31, 2004, the fair value of fixed rate debt would have remained constant at $2.1 billion. If market interest rates for fixed

30 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

rate debt were 100 basis points lower at December 31, 2004, the fair value of fixed rate debt would have increased from $2.1 billion to $2.3 billion.

These amounts are determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost. These analyses do not consider the effects of the adjusted level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, management would likely take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.

Funds from Operations

Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with the recommendations set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“NAREIT”) April 1, 2002 White Paper. We consider FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and our operating performance, and believe that FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flow as a measure of our activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance and defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The use of FFO, combined with the required presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. We generally consider FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance (although FFO should be reviewed in conjunction with net income which remains the primary measure of performance) because by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. We believe that FFO is the best measure of economic profitability for real estate investment trusts.

The following table outlines our FFO calculation and reconciliation to generally accepted accounting principles for the three years ended December 31, 2004 ( dollars in thousands ):

Weighted average number of common shares, OP Units, and common

In the computation of diluted FFO, OP Units, out-performance partnership shares, and the shares of Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock and Series E Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock are dilutive; therefore, they are included in the diluted share count. For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, distributions to preferred stockholders exclude $5.7 million and $19.3 million, respectively, related to premiums on preferred stock conversions.

Gains on the disposition of real estate investments developed for sale is defined as net sales proceeds less a tax provision (such development by REITs must be conducted in a taxable REIT subsidiary) and the gross investment basis of the asset before accumulated depreciation. We consider FFO with gains (or losses) on real estate developed for sale to be a meaningful supplemental measure of performance because of the short-term use of funds to produce a profit that differs from the traditional long-term investment in real estate for REITs.

The following is a reconciliation of GAAP gains on the disposition of real estate developed for sale to gross gains on the disposition of real estate developed for sale for the three years ended December 31, 2004 ( dollars in thousands ):

FFO also does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, it is not necessarily indicative of cash availability to fund cash needs. A presentation of cash flow metrics based on generally accepted accounting principles is as follows ( dollars in thousands ):

Net cash provided by operating activities 2004 — $ 251,747 $ 234,945 $ 229,001

Results of Operations

The following discussion includes the results of both continuing and discontinued operations for the periods presented.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders

2004-vs.-2003

Net income available to common stockholders was $71.9 million ($0.56 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared to $24.8 million ($0.22 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2003, representing an increase of $47.1 million ($0.34 per diluted share). The increase for the year ended December 31, 2004, when compared to the same period in 2003, resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:

| • | $37.0 million more in gains recognized from the sale of
depreciable property in 2004, |
| --- | --- |
| • | a $19.2 million increase in operating results in 2004, |
| • | a $13.5 million decrease in premiums paid on preferred
stock conversions in 2004, |

33 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

• $6.8 million less in preferred stock distributions in 2004,
• a $1.5 million increase in non-property income in 2004,
• $1.4 million less in impairment loss on investments in
2004, and
• a $1.3 million decrease in general and administrative
expense in 2004.

These increases in income were partially offset by a $17.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, a $6.6 million increase in interest expense, and a charge of $5.5 million for hurricane related expenses in 2004 when compared to 2003.

2003-vs.-2002

Net income available to common stockholders was $24.8 million ($0.21 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $25.8 million ($0.24 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2002, representing a decrease of $1.0 million ($0.03 per diluted share). The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2003, when compared to the same period in 2002, resulted primarily from the following items, all of which are discussed in further detail elsewhere within this Report:

| • | a charge of $19.3 million in 2003 for a premium on
preferred stock conversions, |
| --- | --- |
| • | $16.8 million less in gains recognized from the sale of
depreciable property in 2003, |
| • | a $15.5 million decrease in property operating income in
2003, |
| • | a $4.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization
expense in 2003, and |
| • | a $1.4 million impairment charge taken in 2003 for the
write-off of our investment in Realeum, Inc., an unconsolidated
development joint venture. |

These decreases in income were offset by $37.0 million less in prepayment penalties and premiums paid in 2003 for the refinancing of mortgage debt and the repurchase of unsecured debt, a $15.8 million decrease in interest expense in 2003, and a $2.3 million impairment charge taken in 2002 related to a portfolio of properties in Memphis, Tennessee.

2004-vs.-2003

Same Communities

Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to December 31, 2003 and held on December 31, 2004, which consisted of 62,497 apartment homes) provided 78% of our property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004.

For 2004, same community property operating income decreased 1.2% or $3.9 million compared to 2003. The overall decrease in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 0.5% or $2.3 million increase in revenues from rental and other income that was offset by a 3.2% or $6.2 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 7.7% or $2.8 million decrease in vacancy loss and a 14.3% or $2.1 million increase in utility reimbursement income. These increases in income were offset by a 0.7% or $3.6 million decrease in rental rates. Physical occupancy increased 0.8% to 93.8%.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 5.4% or $2.8 million increase in personnel costs, a 4.7% or $1.5 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 3.5% or $1.1 million increase in utilities expense, and a 1.6% or $0.8 million increase in property taxes.

As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income and property operating expenses, the operating margin (property operating income divided by property rental income) decreased 1.0% to 61.0%.

Non-Mature Communities

The remaining 22% of our property operating income during 2004 was generated from communities that we classify as “non-mature communities” (primarily those communities acquired or developed during 2003 and 2004, sold properties, and those properties classified as real estate held for disposition). The 39 communities with 11,574 apartment homes that we acquired during 2003 and 2004 provided $45.8 million of property operating income. The 19 communities with 5,425 apartment homes sold during 2004 provided $14.4 million of property operating income. In addition, our development communities, which included 178 apartment homes constructed since January 1, 2003, provided $1.0 million of property operating income during 2004, the 12 communities with 2,635 apartment homes classified as real estate held for disposition provided $11.3 million of property operating income, and other non-mature communities provided $13.5 million of property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2004.

2003-vs.-2002

Same Communities

Our same communities (those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to January 1, 2002 and held on December 31, 2003, which consisted of 67,814 apartment homes) provided 89% of our property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2003.

For 2003, same community property operating income decreased 4.2% or $14.9 million compared to 2002. The overall decrease in property operating income was primarily attributable to a 1.8% or $9.9 million decrease in revenues from rental and other income and a 2.5% or $5.0 million increase in operating expenses. The decrease in revenues from rental and other income was primarily driven by a 2.2% or $12.8 million decrease in rental rates. This decrease in income was partially offset by an 11.7% or $1.7 million increase in sub-meter, gas, trash, and utility reimbursements, a 5.5% or $1.0 million decrease in concession expense, and a 1.7% or $0.7 million decrease in vacancy loss. Physical occupancy remained constant at 93.2% for both 2003 and 2002.

The increase in property operating expenses was primarily driven by a 17.6% or $1.7 million increase in insurance costs, a 4.3% or $1.4 million increase in utilities expense, a 2.4% or $0.9 million increase in repair and maintenance costs, a 3.9% or $0.8 million increase in administrative and marketing costs, a 0.7% or $0.4 million increase in personnel costs, and a 0.8% or $0.4 million increase in taxes, all of which were partially offset by a 17.6% or $0.2 million decrease in incentive compensation.

As a result of the percentage changes in property rental income and property operating expenses, the operating margin decreased 1.6% to 61.7%.

Non-Mature Communities

The remaining 11% of our property operating income during 2003 was generated from communities that we classify as “non-mature communities” (primarily those communities acquired or developed during 2002 and 2003, sold properties, and those properties classified as real estate held for disposition). The 21 communities with 6,935 apartment homes that we acquired during 2002 and 2003 provided $30.6 million of property operating income. The seven communities with 1,927 apartment homes sold during 2003 provided $4.6 million of property operating income. In addition, our development communities, which included 972 apartment homes constructed since January 1, 2002, provided $4.8 million of property operating income during 2003, the one community with 100 apartment homes classified as real estate held for disposition provided $0.7 million of property operating income, and other non-mature communities provided $1.7 million of property operating income for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization

For the year ended December 31, 2004, real estate depreciation and amortization on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $17.2 million or 10.5% compared to 2003, primarily due to the overall increase in the weighted average number of apartment homes and a significant increase in the per home acquisition cost compared to the existing portfolio, and other capital expenditures.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, real estate depreciation and amortization on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $4.2 million or 2.7% compared to 2002, regardless of the decrease in the weighted average number of apartment homes experienced from December 31, 2002 to December 31, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the newly acquired properties having a significantly higher per home cost compared to those properties that were disposed of, and other capital expenditures.

Interest Expense

For the year ended December 31, 2004, interest expense on both continuing and discontinued operations increased $6.6 million or 5.6% from 2003 primarily due to the issuance of debt. For the year ended December 31, 2004, the weighted average amount of debt outstanding increased 21.2% or

36 PAGEBREAK

Table of Contents

$435.9 million compared to the prior year. However, this was partially offset by the weighted average interest rate declining from 5.4% to 5.0% during 2004. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding during 2004 is higher than 2003 as acquisition costs in 2004 have been funded, in most part, by the issuance of debt. The decrease in the weighted average interest rate during 2004 reflects our ability to take advantage of lower interest rates through refinancing and the utilization of variable rate debt.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, interest expense on both continuing and discontinued operations decreased $15.8 million or 11.9% from 2002 primarily due to debt refinancings, decreasing interest rates, and an overall decrease in the weighted average level of debt outstanding. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the weighted average amount of debt outstanding decreased 1.1% or $23.9 million compared to the prior year and the weighted average interest rate decreased from 6.1% to 5.4% during 2003. The weighted average amount of debt outstanding during 2003 is lower than 2002 primarily due to the high acquisition volume at the beginning of 2002 that was subsequently mitigated by high disposition activity in the second half of 2002. Furthermore, acquisition costs in 2003 that exceeded disposition proceeds were funded, in most part, by equity and OP Unit issuances. The decrease in the average interest rate during 2003 reflects our ability to take advantage of declining interest rates through refinancing and the utilization of variable rate debt.

General and Administrative

For the year ended December 31, 2004, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.3 million or 6.4% over 2003. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in investor relations, legal and consulting expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2003, general and administrative expenses increased $1.3 million or 6.6% over 2002 primarily due to an increase in restricted stock compensation. Over the past two years, United Dominion has shifted its long-term incentive reward system from stock options to restricted stock, the cost of which is expensed monthly during the vesting period.

Hurricane Related Expenses

In 2004, we recognized a $5.5 million charge to cover expenses associated with the damage in Florida caused by hurricanes Charley, Frances, and Jeanne. United Dominion reported that 25 of its 34 Florida communities were affected by the hurricanes.

Impairment Loss on Real Estate and Investments

In 2003, we recognized a $1.4 million charge for the write-off of our investment in Realeum, Inc., an unconsolidated development joint venture created to develop web-based solutions for multifamily property and portfolio management.

Gains on Sales of Land and Depreciable Property

For the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, we recognized gains for financial reporting purposes of $52.9 million and $15.9 million, respectively. Changes in the level of gains recognized from period to period reflect the changing level of our divestiture activity from period to period as well as the extent of gains related to specific properties sold.

Premium on Preferred Stock Conversions

In the fourth quarter of 2004, we exercised our right to redeem 2 million shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,769 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. As a result, we recognized a $5.7 million premium on preferred stock conversions.

In the second quarter of 2003, we exercised our right to redeem 2 million shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to

be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,923 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. In December 2003, we exercised our right to redeem an additional 4 million shares of our Series D. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 6,154,000 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share. As a result, we recognized a $19.3 million premium on preferred stock conversions during 2003.

The premium amount recognized to convert these shares represents the cumulative accretion to date between the conversion value of the preferred stock and the value at which it was recorded at the time of issuance.

eBay Purchase of Rent.com

On December 16, 2004, eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) announced that it had agreed to acquire privately held Rent.com, a leading Internet listing web site in the apartment and rental housing industry, for approximately $415 million plus acquisition costs, net of Rent.com’s cash on hand. On February 23, 2005, eBay announced that it had completed the acquisition. We own shares in Rent.com, and as a result of the transaction, we recorded a one-time pre-tax gain of $12.3 million on the sale.

Inflation

We believe that the direct effects of inflation on our operations have been immaterial. Substantially all of our leases are for a term of one year or less which generally minimizes our risk from the adverse effects of inflation.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes United Dominion’s contractual obligations as of December 31, 2004 ( dollars in thousands ):

Contractual Obligations Payments Due by Period — Total 2005 2006-2007 2008-2009 Thereafter

During 2004, we incurred interest costs of $124.1 million, of which $1.0 million was capitalized.

Factors Affecting Our Business and Prospects

There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

| • | unfavorable changes in apartment market and economic conditions
that could adversely affect occupancy levels and rental rates, |
| --- | --- |
| • | the failure of acquisitions to achieve anticipated results, |
| • | possible difficulty in selling apartment communities, |

• the timing and closing of planned dispositions under agreement,
• competitive factors that may limit our ability to lease
apartment homes or increase or maintain rents,
• insufficient cash flow that could affect our debt financing and
create refinancing risk,
• failure to generate sufficient revenue, which could impair our
debt service payments and distributions to stockholders,
• development and construction risks that may impact our
profitability,
• potential damage from natural disasters, including hurricanes
and other weather-related events, which could result in
substantial costs,
• delays in completing developments and lease-ups on schedule,

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Board of Directors and Stockholders

United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc.

We have audited management’s assessment, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included at Item 9A, that United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2004, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2004

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and formation

United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed in 1972. United Dominion operates within one defined business segment with activities related to the ownership, management, development, acquisition, renovation, and disposition of multifamily apartment communities nationwide. At December 31, 2004, United Dominion owned 273 communities with 78,855 completed apartment homes and had three communities with 807 apartment homes under development.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of United Dominion and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), and Heritage Communities L.P. (the “Heritage OP”), (collectively, “United Dominion”). As of December 31, 2004, there were 166,061,749 units in the Operating Partnership outstanding, of which 156,037,369 units or 94.0% were owned by United Dominion and 10,024,380 units or 6.0% were owned by limited partners (of which 1,791,329 and 0 are owned by the holders of the Series A OPPS and the Series B OPPS, respectively, see below and Note 9). As of December 31, 2004, there were 5,542,200 units in the Heritage OP outstanding, of which 5,186,945 units or 93.6% were owned by United Dominion and 355,255 units or 6.4% were owned by limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of United Dominion include the minority interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and the Heritage OP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Income taxes

United Dominion is operated as, and elects to be taxed as, a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Generally, a REIT complies with the provisions of the Code if it meets certain requirements concerning its income and assets, as well as if it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes if it distributes at least 100% of its income. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes of the REIT. United Dominion’s taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal corporate income taxes, based upon their respective taxable incomes. The taxable REIT subsidiaries have no material permanent or temporary differences that would require a provision for federal income tax. Additionally, United Dominion is subject to certain state and local excise or franchise taxes, for which provision has been made.

The differences between net income available to common stockholders for financial reporting purposes and taxable income before dividend deductions relate primarily to temporary differences, principally real estate depreciation and the tax deferral of certain gains on property sales. The differences in depreciation result from differences in the book and tax basis of certain real estate assets and the differences in the methods of depreciation and lives of the real estate assets. The aggregate cost of our real estate assets for federal income tax purposes was approximately $4.5 billion at December 31, 2004.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real estate

Real estate assets held for investment are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any recorded impairment losses.

Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to the acquisition and/or improvement of real estate assets are capitalized at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful lives if the value of the existing asset will be materially enhanced or the life of the related asset will be substantially extended beyond the original life expectancy.

United Dominion recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when there is an event or change in circumstance that indicates an impairment in the value of an asset and the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. If such indicators of impairment are present, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.

Our estimates of fair market value represent our best estimate based upon industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions.

United Dominion purchases real estate investment properties from time to time and allocates the purchase price to various components, such as land, buildings, and intangibles related to in-place leases in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The purchase price is allocated based on the relative fair value of each component. The fair value of buildings is determined as if the buildings were vacant upon acquisition and subsequently leased at market rental rates. As such, the determination of fair value considers the present value of all cash flows expected to be generated from the property including an initial lease up period. United Dominion determines the fair value of in-place leases by assessing the net effective rent and remaining term of the lease relative to market terms for similar leases at acquisition. The fair value of in-place leases is recorded and amortized as amortization expense over the remaining contractual lease period. United Dominion determines the fair value of in-place leases by considering the cost of acquiring similar leases, the foregone rents associated with the lease-up period, and the carrying costs associated with the lease-up period.

For long-lived assets to be disposed of, impairment losses are recognized when the fair value of the asset less estimated cost to sell is less than the carrying value of the asset. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are under contract for sale. Real estate held for disposition is carried at the lower of cost, net of accumulated depreciation, or fair value, less the cost to dispose, determined on an asset by asset basis. Expenditures for ordinary repair and maintenance costs on held for disposition properties are charged to expense as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements related to held for disposition properties are capitalized at cost. Depreciation is not recorded on real estate held for disposition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which is 35 years for buildings, 10 to 35 years for major improvements, and 3 to 10 years for furniture, fixtures, equipment, and other assets. The value of acquired in-place leases is amortized over the remaining term of each acquired in-place lease.

All development projects and related carrying costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Real estate under development.” As each building in a project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the total cost of the building is transferred to real estate held for investment and the assets are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The cost of development projects includes interest, real estate taxes, insurance, and allocated development overhead during the construction period.

Interest, real estate taxes, and incremental labor and support costs for personnel working directly on the development site are capitalized as part of the real estate under development to the extent that such charges do not cause the carrying value of the asset to exceed its net realizable value. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, total interest capitalized was $1.0 million, $1.8 million, and $0.9 million, respectively.

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash consists of escrow deposits held by lenders for real estate taxes, insurance and replacement reserves, and security deposits.

Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs include fees and other external costs incurred to obtain debt financings and are generally amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method, over a period not to exceed the term of the related debt. Unamortized financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before its maturity date. During 2004, 2003, and 2002, amortization expense was $5.1 million, $4.7 million, and $4.5 million, respectively.

Investments in unconsolidated development joint ventures

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method when major business decisions require approval by the other partners and United Dominion does not have control of the assets. Investments are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for equity in net income (loss) and cash contributions and distributions. United Dominion eliminates intercompany profits on sales of services that are provided to joint ventures. Differences between the carrying value of investments and the underlying equity in net assets of the investee are due to capitalized interest on the investment balance and capitalized development and leasing costs that are recovered by United Dominion through fees during construction.

Revenue recognition

United Dominion’s apartment homes are leased under operating leases with terms generally of one year or less. Rental income is recognized after it is earned and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Advertising costs

All advertising costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the Consolidated Statements of Operations within the line item “Administrative and marketing.” During 2004, 2003, and 2002, total advertising expense was $10.5 million, $10.6 million, and $11.0 million, respectively.

Interest rate swap agreements

United Dominion accounts for its derivative instruments in accordance with Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 and No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” At December 31, 2004, United Dominion has no derivative financial instruments reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet. Prior to their maturity, United Dominion’s derivative financial instruments consisted of interest rate swap agreements that were designated as cash flow hedges of debt with variable interest rate features, and as qualifying hedges for financial reporting purposes. For a derivative instrument that qualifies as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings during the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognized in current earnings during the period of change.

As part of United Dominion’s overall interest rate risk management strategy, we used derivative financial instruments as a means to artificially fix variable rate debt or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. United Dominion’s derivative transactions used for interest rate risk management included various interest rate swaps with indices that related to the pricing of specific financial instruments of United Dominion. Because of the close correlation between the hedging instrument and the underlying cash flow exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments were generally offset by changes in the cash flow of the underlying exposures. As a result, United Dominion appropriately controlled the risk so that derivatives used for interest rate risk management would not have a material

unintended effect on consolidated earnings. United Dominion does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

The fair value of United Dominion’s derivative instruments were reported on the balance sheet at their current fair value. The estimated fair value for our interest rate swaps relied on prevailing market interest rates. The interest rate swap agreements were designated with all or a portion of the principal balance and term of a specific debt obligation. Each interest rate swap involved the periodic exchange of payments over the life of the related agreement. An amount received or paid on the interest rate swap was recorded on an accrual basis as an adjustment to the related interest expense of the outstanding debt based on the accrual method of accounting. The related amount payable to and receivable from counterparties was included in other liabilities and other assets, respectively.

When the terms of the underlying transaction were modified, or when the underlying hedged item ceased to exist, all changes in the fair value of the instrument were marked-to-market with changes in value included in net income each period until the instrument matured, unless the instrument was redesignated as a hedge of another transaction. If a derivative instrument was terminated or the hedging transaction was no longer determined to be effective, amounts held in accumulated other comprehensive income were reclassified into earnings over the term of the future cash outflows on the related debt.

Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income, which is defined as all changes in equity during each period except for those resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders, is displayed in the accompanying Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. Other comprehensive income consists of unrealized gains or losses from derivative financial instruments.

Stock-based employee compensation plans

United Dominion adopted the fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based payments effective January 1, 2004 using the prospective method described in FASB Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure.” Currently, United Dominion uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of Statement 123R on July 1, 2005. Because Statement 123R must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because United Dominion adopted Statement 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under Statement 123 will be recognized under Statement 123R. However, had United Dominion adopted Statement 123R in prior periods, the impact of the standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

Minority interests in operating partnerships

Interests in operating partnerships held by limited partners are represented by operating partnership units (“OP Units”). The operating partnerships’ income is allocated to holders of OP Units based upon net income available to common stockholders and the weighted average number of OP Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to minority interests in accordance with the terms of the individual partnership agreements. OP Units can be exchanged for cash or shares of United Dominion’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, at the option of United Dominion. OP Units, as a percentage of total OP

Units and shares outstanding, were 6.3% at December 31, 2004, 6.4% at December 31, 2003, and 6.2% at December 31, 2002.

During 2003, we issued 1,617,815 Preferred Operating Partnership Units (“Preferred OP Units”) totaling $26.9 million as partial consideration for the purchase of four communities. The Preferred OP Units carry a fixed coupon of 8.0% until such time as the common share dividend is equal to or exceeds this amount for four consecutive quarters, at which time the Preferred OP Units will be entitled to receive dividends equivalent to the dividend paid to holders of common stock.

Minority interests in other partnerships

United Dominion has limited partners in certain real estate partnerships acquired in certain merger transactions. Net income for these partnerships is allocated based upon the percentage interest owned by these limited partners in each respective real estate partnership.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per common share is computed based upon common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock method based on United Dominion’s average stock price.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earning per share (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) :

| Numerator for basic and diluted earnings per
share — Net income available to common stockholders | 2004 — $ 71,892 | $ | 24,807 | $ | 25,805 | |

| Diluted earnings per share | $ 0.56 | $ | 0.22 | $ | 0.24 | |

The effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units, Series A Out-Performance Partnership Units, and convertible preferred stock is not dilutive and is therefore not included as a dilutive security in the earnings per share computation. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the operating partnership units for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was 10,460,639 shares, 9,690,883 shares, and 8,577,918 shares, respectively. The weighted average effect of the conversion of the Series A Out-Performance Partnership Units for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was 1,791,329 shares, 1,853,204 shares, and 1,568,000 shares, respectively.

United Dominion is pursuing its strategy of exiting markets where it views long-term growth prospects as limited and believes the redeployment of capital would enhance future growth rates and economies of scale. During the first quarter of 2002, United Dominion placed nine assets, with an aggregate net book value of $89.3 million, under contract for sale and reclassified them as real estate held for disposition. These sales closed in the second quarter of 2002 and resulted in our withdrawal from Naples, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; Las Vegas, Nevada; and substantially all of Memphis, Tennessee. Although these sales resulted in an aggregate net gain of $11.5 million, certain of these assets were sold at net selling prices below their net book values at March 31, 2002. As a result, United Dominion recorded an aggregate $2.3 million impairment loss in 2002 for the write down of a portfolio of five apartment communities in Memphis, Tennessee.

  1. INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

United Dominion adopted FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (FAS 144) as of January 1, 2002. FAS 144 requires, among other things, that the primary assets and liabilities and the results of operations of United Dominion’s real properties which have been sold subsequent to January 1, 2002, or are held for disposition subsequent to January 1, 2002, be classified as discontinued operations and segregated in United Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations and Balance Sheets. Properties classified as real estate held for disposition generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within the next twelve months. For purposes of these financial statements, FAS 144 results in the presentation of the primary assets and liabilities and the net operating results of those properties sold or classified as held for disposition through December 31, 2004, as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The adoption of FAS 144 does not have an impact on net income available to common stockholders. FAS 144 only results in the reclassification of the operating results of all properties sold or classified as held for disposition through December 31, 2004 within the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, and the reclassification of the assets and liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

For the year ended December 31, 2004, United Dominion sold 19 communities with a total of 5,425 apartment homes, 24 townhomes from a community of 36 townhomes, and one parcel of land. At December 31, 2004, United Dominion had 12 communities with a total of 2,635 apartment homes and a net book value of $114.9 million and one parcel of land with a net book value of $3.9 million included in real estate held for disposition. During 2003, United Dominion sold seven communities with a total of 1,927 apartment homes and two commercial properties. During 2002, United Dominion sold 25 communities with a total of 6,990 apartment homes, one parcel of land, and one commercial property. The results of operations for these properties and the interest expense associated with the secured debt on these properties are classified on the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the line item entitled “Income from discontinued operations, net of minority interests.”

  1. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock has no stated par value and a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series B has no voting rights except as required by law. The Series B has no stated maturity and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and is not convertible into any of our other securities. The Series B is not redeemable prior to May 29, 2007. On or after this date, the Series B may be redeemed for cash at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The redemption price is payable solely out of the sale proceeds of other capital stock. All dividends due and payable on the Series B have been accrued or paid as of the end of each fiscal year.

Distributions declared on the Series B in 2004 were $2.15 per share or $0.5375 per quarter. The Series B is listed on the NYSE under the symbol “UDRpfb.” At December 31, 2004, a total of 5,416,009 shares of the Series B were outstanding.

All of the remaining outstanding shares of our Series D Cumulative Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock have been converted by the holder into shares of our common stock. The Series D had no stated maturity, no stated par value, no voting rights except as required by law, and a liquidation preference of $25 per share. The Series D was convertible at any time into 1.5385 shares of common stock, subject to certain adjustments, at the option of the holder of the Series D. We had the option to redeem at any time all or part of the Series D at a price per share of $25, payable in cash, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, provided that the current market price of our common stock was at least equal to the conversion price, initially set at $16.25 per share.

In 2004, United Dominion exercised its right to redeem the remaining 2 million shares of Series D that were outstanding. Upon receipt of our redemption notice, the shares to be redeemed were converted by the holder into 3,076,769 shares of common stock at a price of $16.25 per share.

As a result, United Dominion recognized $5.7 million and $19.3 million in premium on preferred stock conversions in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The premium amount recognized to convert

these shares represents the cumulative accretion to date between the conversion value of the preferred stock and the value at which it was recorded at the time of issuance.

Officers’ Stock Purchase and Loan Plan

United Dominion’s notes receivable from certain officers matured in June 2004 and were satisfied in accordance with their terms. The purpose of the loans was for the borrowers to purchase shares of United Dominion’s common stock pursuant to United Dominion’s 1991 Stock Purchase and Loan Plan. The loans were evidenced by promissory notes between the borrowers and United Dominion and secured by a pledge of the shares of common stock.

In addition, United Dominion had entered into a Servicing and Purchase Agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) with SunTrust Bank (the “Bank”) whereby United Dominion acted as servicing agent for and to purchase certain loans made by the Bank to officers and directors of United Dominion (the “Borrowers”) to finance the purchase of shares of United Dominion’s common stock. The loans were evidenced by promissory notes (“Notes”) between each Borrower and the Bank. The Servicing Agreement provided that the Bank could require United Dominion to purchase the Notes upon an event of default by the Borrower or United Dominion under the Servicing Agreement and at certain other times during the term of the Servicing Agreement. All of the Notes matured in June 2004 and were satisfied in accordance with their terms.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

As of December 31, 2004, 9,793,191 shares of common stock had been issued under the Stock Purchase Plan.

Restricted Stock Awards

United Dominion’s 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) authorizes the grant of restricted stock awards to employees, officers, consultants, and directors of United Dominion. Deferred compensation expense is recorded over the vesting period and is based upon the value of the common stock on the date of issuance. As of December 31, 2004, 682,460 shares of restricted stock have been issued under the LTIP.

Shareholder Rights Plan

United Dominion’s 1998 Shareholder Rights Plan is intended to protect long-term interests of stockholders in the event of an unsolicited, coercive or unfair attempt to take over United Dominion. The plan authorized a dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (the “Rights”) on each share of common stock outstanding. Each Right, which is not currently exercisable, will entitle the holder to purchase 1/1000 of a share of a new series of United Dominion’s preferred stock, to be designated as Series C Junior Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock, at a price to be determined upon the occurrence of the event, and for which the holder must be paid $45 should the takeover occur. Under the Plan, the rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires more than 15% of United Dominion’s common stock or announces a tender offer that would result in the ownership of 15% of United Dominion’s common stock.

  1. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following estimated fair values of financial instruments were determined by United Dominion using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts United Dominion would realize on the disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of United Dominion’s financial instruments as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands) :

2004 2003
Carrying Carrying
Amount Fair Value Amount Fair Value
Secured debt $ 1,197,924 $ 1,228,953 $ 1,018,028 $ 1,063,415
Unsecured debt 1,682,058 1,654,760 1,114,009 1,162,910
Interest rate swap agreements n/a n/a (1,633 ) (1,633 )

The following methods and assumptions were used by United Dominion in estimating fair values.

Cash equivalents

The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Notes receivable

In April 2004, United Dominion received a promissory note in the principal amount of $75.6 million that matured in December 2004. The note was received in connection with the sale of a portfolio of properties. In August 2003, United Dominion received a promissory note in the principal amount of $8 million that was due September 2006. The note was secured by a second lien on a property that United Dominion managed and had an option to purchase. As of December 31, 2004, United Dominion had received all proceeds on this note. In June 2003, United Dominion received a promissory note in the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

principal amount of $5 million that is due October 2011. The note was received in connection with one of our acquisitions and bears interest of 9.0% that is payable in annual installments. The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value.

Secured and unsecured debt

Estimated fair value is based on mortgage rates, tax-exempt bond rates, and corporate unsecured debt rates believed to be available to United Dominion for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining lives. The carrying amount of United Dominion’s variable rate secured debt approximates fair value as of December 31, 2004 and 2003. The carrying amounts of United Dominion’s borrowings under variable rate unsecured debt arrangements, short-term revolving credit agreements, and lines of credit approximate their fair values as of December 31, 2004 and 2003.

Derivative financial instruments

At December 31, 2004, United Dominion has no derivative financial instruments reported on its Consolidated Balance Sheet.

For the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002, United Dominion recognized $1.9 million, $8.1 million, and $4.9 million, respectively, of unrealized gains in comprehensive income. For the year ended December 31, 2004, United Dominion recognized a loss of $0.2 million in net income related to the ineffective portion of United Dominion’s hedging instruments.

  1. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Profit Sharing Plan

The United Dominion Realty Trust, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) is a defined contribution plan covering all eligible full-time employees. Under the Plan, United Dominion makes discretionary profit sharing and matching contributions to the Plan as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Aggregate provisions for contributions, both matching and discretionary, which are included in United Dominion’s Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002 were $0.6 million, $0.3 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.

Stock Option Plan

In May 2001, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), which supersedes the 1985 Stock Option Plan. With the approval of the LTIP, no additional grants will be made under the 1985 Stock Option Plan. The LTIP authorizes the granting of awards which may take the form of options to purchase shares of common stock, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, and any other right or interest relating to common stock or cash. The Board of Directors reserved 4 million shares for issuance upon the grant or exercise of awards under the LTIP. The LTIP generally provides, among other things, that options are granted at exercise prices not lower than the market value of the shares on the date of grant and that options granted must be exercised within ten years. The maximum number of shares of stock that may be issued subject to incentive stock options is 4 million shares. Shares under options that expire or are cancelable are available for subsequent grant.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required for periods prior to the adoption of the fair-value-based accounting method by FASB Statement No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (FAS 123), and has been determined as if United Dominion had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of accounting as defined in FAS 123. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions for 2002:

Risk free interest rate 4.1 %
Dividend yield 7.7 %
Volatility factor 0.177
Weighted average expected life (years) 4

There were no options granted during 2004 or 2003. The weighted average fair value of options granted during 2002 was $0.84 per option.

The following table illustrates the unaudited effect on net income available to common stockholders and earnings per share if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested share options for the years presented (dollars in thousands) :

Reported net income available to common stockholders 2003 — $ 24,807 $ 25,805
Compensation expense for stock options determined under the fair
value based method (292 ) (380 )
Pro forma net income available to common stockholders $ 24,515 $ 25,425
Earnings per common share — basic

Pro forma 0.21 0.24
Earnings per common share — diluted
As reported $ 0.22 $ 0.24
Pro forma 0.21 0.24

Compensation expense related to restricted stock awards is not presented in the table above because the expense amount is the same under APB No. 25 and Statement 123 and, therefore, is already reflected in net income.

Contingencies

Series B Out-Performance Program

In May 2003, the stockholders of United Dominion approved the Series B Out-Performance Program (the “Series B Program”) pursuant to which certain executive officers of United Dominion (the “Participants”) were given the opportunity to invest indirectly in United Dominion by purchasing interests in a limited liability company (the “Series B LLC”), the only asset of which is a special class of partnership units of United Dominion Realty, L.P. (“Series B Out-Performance Partnership Shares” or “Series B OPPSs”) . The purchase price for the Series B OPPSs was determined by United Dominion’s board of directors to be $1 million, assuming 100% participation, and was based upon the advice of an independent valuation expert. The Series B Program will measure the cumulative total return on our common stock over the 24-month period from June 1, 2003 to May 31, 2005.

The Series B Program is designed to provide participants with the possibility of substantial returns on their investment if the total cumulative return on United Dominion’s common stock, as measured by the cumulative amount of dividends paid plus share price appreciation during the measurement period (a) exceeds the cumulative total return of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index peer group index over the same period; and (b) is at least the equivalent of a 22% total return, or 11% annualized.

At the conclusion of the measurement period, if United Dominion’s total cumulative return satisfies these criteria, the Series B LLC as holder of the Series B OPPSs will receive (for the indirect benefit of the Participants as holders of interests in the Series B LLC) distributions and allocations of income and loss from the Operating Partnership (accounted for on a consistent basis with all other OP Units) equal to the distributions and allocations that would be received on the number of OP Units obtained by:

| i. determining the amount by which the cumulative total
return of United Dominion’s common stock over the
measurement period exceeds the greater of the cumulative total
return of the Morgan Stanley REIT Index, which is the peer group
index, or the minimum return (such excess being the “excess
return”); |
| --- |
| ii. multiplying 5% of the excess return by United
Dominion’s market capitalization (defined as the average
number of shares outstanding over the 24-month period, including
common stock, OP Units, outstanding options, and convertible
securities) multiplied by the daily closing price of United
Dominion’s common stock, up to a maximum of 2% of market
capitalization; and |

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)

iii. dividing the number obtained in (ii) by the market value of one share of United Dominion’s common stock on the valuation date, determined by the volume-weighted average price per day of common stock for the 20 trading days immediately preceding the valuation date.

If, on the valuation date, the cumulative total return of United Dominion’s common stock does not meet the minimum return, then the participants will forfeit their entire initial investment.

Litigation and Legal Matters

United Dominion is subject to various legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. United Dominion cannot determine the ultimate liability with respect to such legal proceedings and claims at this time. United Dominion believes that such liability, to the extent not provided for through insurance or otherwise, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

However, because each of the apartment communities has similar economic characteristics, facilities, services, and tenants, the apartment communities have been aggregated into a single apartment communities segment. All segment disclosure is included in or can be derived from United Dominion’s consolidated financial statements.

There are no tenants that contributed 10% or more of United Dominion’s total revenues during 2004, 2003, or 2002.
