OTHER EVENTS. On May 3, 2001, Archstone Communities Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (which we also refer to as Archstone), New Garden Residential Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust (which we also refer to as New Archstone), Smith L.P. and we entered into a merger agreement providing for a business combination among Archstone, New Archstone, Smith L.P. and us. Under the merger agreement, Archstone would be reorganized into an umbrella REIT structure. To accomplish this reorganization, through a series of transactions New Archstone would become a holding company of Archstone with the holders of preferred and common equity securities of Archstone receiving securities of New Archstone in the same number and of the same series as the securities of Archstone outstanding immediately prior to this first step in the merger transaction. Following this reorganization, Archstone would elect to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and all of New Archstone's properties, property interests, and business assets would be owned by, and its operations conducted through, Archstone. After the Archstone reorganization, the second step of the transaction contemplates both our merger with and into New Archstone and the merger of Smith L.P. with and into Archstone. Both New Archstone and Archstone would survive these mergers. Following our merger, New Archstone would be renamed "Archstone-Smith Trust." If the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are completed: o each share of our common stock would be converted into 1.975 common shares of New Archstone (the 1.975 exchange ratio is fixed and not subject to adjustment); o our preferred stock would be converted into a corresponding series of preferred shares of New Archstone on a share-for-share basis; o partners of Smith L.P. would receive 1.975 shares of Archstone for each Smith L.P. common unit held (each Archstone common share so issued would be redeemable by the holder for cash or a common share of New Archstone, at the option of New Archstone); and o each of our outstanding options would be converted into a corresponding option of New Archstone, such number of options to be multiplied by 1.975 (rounded down to the nearest whole number) and the exercise price of such options to be divided by 1.975 (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), and each such option may be tendered for cash as next described. As soon as practicable and subject to applicable law, Archstone will offer to purchase, subject to consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, all outstanding qualified or nonqualified options to purchase our common stock, and this offer to purchase will also be deemed to include the New Archstone options issued in substitution of our options pursuant to the merger. The amount to be paid for our options tendered would be cash equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) $49.48 over (B) the exercise price of such option and (ii) the number of shares of our common stock subject thereto. If the holder of any of our options tenders his or her option prior to the end of the second business day following the effective time of the final merger, if consummated, then within seven business days Archstone would, subject to reduction for required withholding taxes, pay to each such tendering former holder of our options the purchase price thereof. The merger agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants for each of us, Smith L.P., Archstone and New Archstone. The transactions described above will require the approval of a majority of Archstone's outstanding common shares, two-thirds of the outstanding shares of our common stock, a majority in percentage interest of the limited partners of Smith L.P. not owned by us, and a majority in percentage interest of the limited partners of Smith L.P. (including those owned by us). The transaction also is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals as well as other customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the merger with Archstone Communities Trust will be consummated. Attached hereto as Exhibits are (1) a letter of KPMG relating to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Archstone included in Exhibit 99.2 (Exhibit 15.1), (2) a consent letter of KPMG LLP with respect to its Independent Auditor's Report included in Exhibit 99.1 (Exhibit 23.1), (3) the annual report on Form 10-K of Archstone for the year ended December 31, 2000 filed by Archstone on March 9, 2001 (Exhibit 99.1), (4) the quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Archstone for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 filed by Archstone on March 15, 2001 (Exhibit 99.2) and (5) Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements (Unaudited) of Archstone-Smith Trust and the notes thereto (Exhibit 99.3).

(m) Represents the adjustment necessary to allocate the estimated market value in excess of the liquidation preference on Smith Residential's preferred stock to additional paid-in capital as follows:

ARCHSTONE-SMITH TRUST NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) Listed below is a combined summary of Archstone-Smith's preferred shares as of March 31, 2001. The preferred shareholders are entitled to receive, when and as authorized by Archstone-Smith, cumulative preferential cash distributions. Archstone-Smith may redeem the preferred shares at certain dates in whole or in part at a cash redemption price equal to the redemption preference plus all accrued unpaid dividends to the date fixed for redemption.

----------- (1) The Series A preferred shares are convertible at any time, at the option of the holder, into a number of Archstone-Smith common shares obtained by dividing the aggregate liquidation preference by the conversion price of $18.561, which is equivalent to a conversion rate of 1.3469 common shares for each Archstone-Smith Series A preferred share. (2) The Series B preferred shares were called for redemption on May 7, 2001 at a price of $25.00 per share, plus $0.23125 in accrued and unpaid dividends, resulting in an aggregate cash payment of $105.6 million. (3) Cash distributions equal the greater of $2.02, $3.1025 and $2.03125 per year per share for Series H, J and M, respectively, or the dividend on the common shares into which these preferred shares are convertible. (4) Cash distributions equal to the greater of 8.25% of the $37.50 liquidation preference per year, equivalent to $3.09375 per year per share, through October 1, 2001, and 8.50% of the liquidation preference, equivalent to $3.1875 per year per share after October 1, 2001 or the dividend on the common shares into which a Series K preferred share is convertible. (5) Cash distributions equal to the greater of 8.25% of the $39.00 liquidation preference per year, equivalent to $3.2175 per year per share, through November 5, 2001, and 8.50% of the liquidation preference, equivalent to $3.315 per year per share after November 5, 2001 or the dividend on the common shares into which a Series L preferred share is convertible. (n) Represents the adjustment necessary to record all Archstone-Smith common shares at par value of $0.01 per share (formerly $1.00 per share), as follows: Archstone's 120,863 common shares at $1.00 par value per share............. $120,863 Archstone-Smith's 120,863 common shares at $0.01 par value per share....... 1,209 -------- Adjustment....................................................... $119,654 ========

Note that Smith Residential's common stock is already reflected at $0.01 par. ARCHSTONE-SMITH TRUST NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) (o) Reflects condensed historical statement of earnings from continuing operations. Certain reclassifications have been made to Smith Residential's statement of earnings from operations to conform to Archstone's presentation. (p) Represents estimated net increase in depreciation of real estate as a result of the step-up in basis to record Smith Residential's real estate at estimated fair value:

(q) Represents the following pro forma interest expense adjustments:

ARCHSTONE-SMITH TRUST NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) At March 31, 2001, Archstone had no balance outstanding under its $580 million unsecured credit facility and $13.4 million outstanding under its $100 million short-term unsecured borrowing facility. Since the unsecured credit facility rate of 4.71% used in the above calculation fluctuates based on a spread over LIBOR, interest expense changes accordingly. If the interest rate on unsecured credit facilities increases or decreases by 12.5 basis points, the following adjustment would be made to interest expense:

(r) Management has estimated that there will be a reduction of over 50% of Smith Residential's general and administrative expenses as a result of the merger on a pro forma basis for the quarter ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000. The general and administrative expense savings have not been included in the pro forma condensed combined statements of earnings from operations as there can be no assurance that such costs savings will be realized. (s) Represents estimated goodwill and goodwill amortization from Smith Residential's property service businesses: Property service businesses mark-up (see note (d))......................................... $1,858 ====== Estimated annual goodwill amortization based on an amortization period of 20 years......... $ 93 ====== Estimated quarterly goodwill amortization based on an amortization period of 20 years...... $ 23 ======

(t) Represents adjustments for the recomputation of net earnings from continuing operations allocable to the redeemable operating partnership units. The recomputed percentage allocable to common shares and operating partnership units was calculated as follows:

ARCHSTONE-SMITH TRUST NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED) The recomputed minority interest income allocation was calculated as follows:

(u) A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic earnings per common share to the numerator and denominator used to compute diluted earnings per common share is as follows for the periods indicated:

ARCHSTONE-SMITH TRUST NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

------------- (1) Excludes the impact of potentially dilutive equity securities during the periods in which they are anti-dilutive. (2) Excludes the impact of Smith Partnership's convertible operating partnership units which may be redeemed at the unitholders' sole discretion. Such redemption, at Archstone-Smith's election, may be made for cash or for common shares on a one-for-one basis, which does not have a dilutive effect.
