                          and Direct Operating Expenses

                   (With Independent Auditors' Report Thereon)






                          Independent Auditors' Report



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


We have audited the accompanying  Historical  Summary of Gross Income and Direct
Operating Expenses (Historical  Summary) of the BRE/MAAC Associates,  L.L.C., as
described  in note 1 for  each  of the  years  in the  three-year  period  ended
December  31,  2002.  This  Historical  Summary  is  the  responsibility  of the
Company's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion on this
Historical Summary for BRE/MAAC Associates, L.L.C., (Acquired Entity) based on
our audits.

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

The accompanying Historical Summary for the Acquired Entity was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission as described in note 1 and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Acquired Entity's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material  respects,  the gross income and direct operating expenses described in
note 1 to the Historical  Summary for each of the years in the three-year period
ended  December 31,  2002, in conformity  with accounting  principles  generally
accepted in the United States of America.

                   Notes to Historical Summary of Gross Income
                          and Direct Operating Expenses
                  Years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000



(1)    Accounting Policies

       (a)    Description

               The accompanying  financial  statement includes the operations of
               BRE/MAAC  Associates,  L.L.C. (Acquired  Entity),  a Delaware
               limited liability company that was formed on March 31, 1999, as a
               joint venture between Blackstone Real Estate Acquisitions, L.L.C.
               (Blackstone)   (66.67%   ownership   interest)  and   Mid-America
               Apartment  Communities,  L.P.  (Mid-America)  (33.33% ownership).
               Blackstone's  ownership  interest was acquired by  Mid-America on
               August 25,  2003.  The  Acquired  Entity  owns  and  operates  10
               apartment communities totaling 2,793 apartment units.

       (b)    Basis of Presentation

               The accompanying  Historical Summary is not representative of the
               actual  operations for the periods  presented.  Certain  expenses
               have been excluded  because  Mid-America does not anticipate that
               they will be  incurred  in  future  operations  of the  property.
               Expenses  excluded  consist  of  depreciation  and  amortization,
               management  fees and other  costs  not  directly  related  to the
               future  operations  of the Acquired  Entity.  Operating  expenses
               include payroll,  utilities,  advertising,  and other general and
               administrative  costs.  Management  is not aware of any  material
               factors  relating to this  Acquired  Entity that would cause this
               Historical  Summary  not to be  indicative  of  future  operating
               results as related to gross income and direct operating expenses.

       (c)    Income Recognition

               Revenues  from  rental  property  are  recognized  when  due from
               tenants. Leases are generally for one year or less.

(2)    Pro  Forma  Taxable Operating Results and Funds Generated from Operations
       (Unaudited)

          The pro forma table reflects the taxable  operating  results and funds
          generated from operations of the Acquired Entity for the twelve months
          ended  December 31,  2002 as adjusted  for certain  items which can be
          factually  supported.  This  Historical  Summary  does not  purport to
          forecast actual operating results for any period in the future.

30-year life.
