Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2007, and 2006 (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., or Mid-America, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and Mid-America’s accounting policies in effect as of December 31, 2006, as set forth in our annual consolidated financial statements, as of such date. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included and all such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in Mid-America’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2007 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income available for common shareholders.

2. SEGMENT INFORMATION

At June 30, 2007, Mid-America owned 137 multifamily apartment communities in 13 different states from which it derives all significant sources of earnings and operating cash flows. Our operational structure is organized on a decentralized basis, with individual property managers having overall responsibility and authority regarding the operations of their respective properties. Each property manager individually monitors local and area trends in rental rates, occupancy percentages, and operating costs. Property managers are given the on-site responsibility and discretion to react to such trends in the best interest of Mid-America. Our chief operating decision maker evaluates the performance of each individual property based on its contribution to net operating income in order to ensure that the individual property continues to meet our return criteria and long-term investment goals. We define each of our multifamily communities as an individual operating segment. We have also determined that all of our communities have similar economic characteristics and also meet the other criteria which permit the communities to be aggregated into one reportable segment, which is the acquisition and operation of the multifamily communities owned.

3. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income and its components for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Three months				Six months
	ended June 30,				ended June 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006

Net income	$	9,118	$	5,892	$	20,442	$	11,018
Marked-to-market adjustment
on derivative instruments		9,871		7,088		6,945		17,505
Total comprehensive income	$	18,989	$	12,980	$	27,387	$	28,523

The marked-to-market adjustment on derivative instruments is based upon the change of interest rates available for derivative instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities existing at each balance sheet date.

4. REAL ESTATE DISPOSITIONS

On May 3, 2007, Mid-America sold the Gleneagles and Hickory Farms apartments, 184 and 200 units, respectively, generating a $3.4 million gain for Mid-America. Both communities are located in Memphis, Tennessee.

5. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

On May 30, 2007, Mid-America acquired the Ranchstone and Park Place apartments, 220 and 229 units, respectively. Both communities are located in Houston, Texas.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

As part of Mid-America’s disposition strategy to selectively dispose of mature assets that no longer meet our investment criteria and long-term strategic objectives, in April 2006, we entered into an agreement to list the 184-unit Gleneagles apartments and the 200-unit Hickory Farm apartments both located in Memphis, Tennessee, for sale. Both of these communities were subsequently sold on May 3, 2007. Also in line with this strategy, in March 2007, we entered into an agreement to list the 144-unit Somerset apartments and the 192-unit Woodridge apartments both located in Jackson, Mississippi, for sale. In accordance with Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, these communities are considered held for sale in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

The following is a summary of discontinued operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, (dollars in thousands):

7. SHARE AND UNIT INFORMATION

At June 30, 2007, 25,511,314 common shares and 2,482,593 operating partnership units were outstanding, representing a total of 27,993,907 shares and units. Additionally, Mid-America had outstanding options for the purchase of 144,620 shares of common stock at June 30, 2007, of which 64,477 were anti-dilutive. At June 30, 2006, 24,025,183 common shares and 2,508,403 operating partnership units were outstanding, representing a total of 26,533,586 shares and units. Additionally, Mid-America had outstanding options for the purchase of 246,952 shares of common stock at June 30, 2006, of which 116,865 were anti-dilutive.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, we issued 90,000 shares of common stock through at-the-market offerings or negotiated transactions and received net proceeds of approximately $5.1 million under a controlled equity offering program.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

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

All of our derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value and represented on the balance sheet, and are characterized as cash flow hedges. These transactions hedge the future cash flows of debt transactions through interest rate swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments and interest rate caps that limit the exposure to rising interest rates. The unrealized gains/losses in the fair value of these hedging instruments are reported on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income, with any ineffective portion of the hedging transactions reclassified to earnings. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, and 2006, the ineffective portion of the hedging transactions was not significant.

9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, or FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Mid-America adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of tax positions taken in tax returns. Mid-America has identified and examined our tax positions, including our status as a real estate investment trust, for all open tax years through December 31, 2006, and concluded that the full benefit of each tax position taken should be recognized in the financial statements. There are no significant changes in unrecognized tax benefits that are reasonably possible within the twelve months following the adoption date.

FIN 48 requires that an enterprise must calculate interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The decision regarding where to classify interest and penalties on the income statement is an accounting policy decision that should be consistently applied. Interest and penalties calculated on any future uncertain tax positions will be presented as a component of income tax expense. No interest and penalties are accrued under FIN 48 on our balance sheet as of June 30, 2007.

Mid-America’s tax years that remain subject to examination for U.S. federal purposes range from 2003 through 2006. Our tax years that remain open for state examination vary but range from 2002 through 2006.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”, or Statement 157. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Mid-America does not believe the adoption of Statement 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

REAL ESTATE DISPOSITIONS

On July 16, 2007, Mid-America sold the Somerset and Woodridge apartments, 144 and 192 units, respectively. Both communities are located in Jackson, Mississippi.

REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

On July 6, 2007, Mid-America acquired the Chalet at Fall Creek apartments, 268 units, located in Houston, Texas.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon Mid-America’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and the notes thereto, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the condensed consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable in the circumstances; however, actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

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

Revenue Recognition

Mid-America leases multifamily residential apartments under operating leases primarily with terms of one year or less. Rent and other property income is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Other property income consists primarily of utility rebillings, other expense reimbursements, and administrative, application and other fees charged to residents. Interest, management fees, and all other sources of income are recognized as earned.

We record all gains and losses on sales of real estate in accordance with Statement No. 66, Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.

Capitalization of expenditures and depreciation of assets

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

Development costs, which are limited to adding new units to three existing properties, are capitalized in accordance with Statement No. 67, Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental Operations of Real Estate Projects and Statement No. 34, Capitalization of Interest Cost.

Impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill

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

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

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

Fair value of derivative financial instruments

Mid-America utilizes certain derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps and caps, during the normal course of business to manage, or hedge, the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt or as hedges in anticipation of future debt transactions to manage well-defined interest rate risk associated with the transaction. The valuation of the derivative financial instruments under Statement No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the fair value of the instruments.

In order for a derivative contract to be designated as a hedging instrument, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item must be highly effective. While our calculation of hedge effectiveness contains some subjective determinations, the historical correlation of the cash flows of the hedging instruments and the underlying hedged item are measured before entering into the hedging relationship and have been found to be highly correlated.

We measure ineffectiveness using the change in the variable cash flows method at the inception of the hedge and for each reporting period thereafter, through the term of the hedging instruments. Any amounts determined to be ineffective are recorded in earnings. The change in fair value of the interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income in the statement of shareholders’ equity.

OVERVIEW OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Mid-America’s operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2007, benefited from continued improvement in market conditions which helped us grow rental rates at our existing communities. Our operations also benefited from a full quarter of performance from the four communities acquired in 2006 after the first quarter, as well as a month of operations from the two communities acquired in May 2007. Increasing operating and administrative expenses offset some of the benefit of the revenue increases.

Net income benefited from the sale of land and the disposition of two communities, resulting in gains of approximately $226,000 and $3.4 million, respectively.

On May 9, 2007, Mid-America entered into a joint venture, Mid-America Multifamily Fund I, LLC. The joint venture was established to acquire multifamily properties. No properties had been acquired by the joint venture as of June 30, 2007.

The following is a discussion of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Mid-America for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this report. These financial statements include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Property revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $7,036,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to (i) a $3,087,000 increase in property revenues from the six properties acquired since the end of the first quarter of 2006, and (ii) a $3,949,000 increase in property revenues from all other communities. The increase in property revenues from all other communities was generated primarily by our same store portfolio and was driven by a 2.8% increase in average rent per unit and a reduction in the rate of concessions of net potential rent from 4.1% to 2.7% from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007, respectively.

Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping and other property related costs. Property operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $3,719,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to increases in property operating expenses of (i) $1,485,000 from the six properties acquired since the end of the first quarter of 2006, and (ii) $2,234,000 from all other communities. The increase in property operating expenses from all other communities consisted primarily of our same store portfolio and was driven by an increase in insurance expense of $724,000 over the same quarter last year as a result of higher premiums incurred upon our policy renewal on July 1, 2006, as well as an increase of $334,000 over the same quarter last year due to real estate taxes.

Depreciation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $1,722,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the increases in depreciation expense of (i) $948,000 from the six properties acquired since the end of the first quarter of 2006, (ii) $632,000 from all other communities, and (iii) $142,000 from the amortization of the fair market value of leases of acquired communities. Increases of depreciation expense from all other communities resulted from asset additions made during the normal course of business.

Property management expenses increased by approximately $967,000 from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 primarily related to an increase in personnel incentives resulting from improved property operations, and increased franchise and excise taxes resulting from state law changes. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $200,000 over this same period mainly as a result of increased corporate level staffing.

Interest expense increased approximately $298,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2007, from the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to the increase in our average borrowing cost from 5.49% for the second quarter of 2006, to 5.51% for the second quarter of 2007, as well as a $30.7 million increase in the average debt outstanding from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 related to new acquisitions, and our development and redevelopment programs.

In the three months ended June 30, 2007, Mid-America benefited from a $226,000 gain due to the sale of excess land to a municipality, as well as a $3.4 million gain due to the sale of two of our communities. No such gains were experienced in the second quarter of 2006.

Primarily as a result of the foregoing, net income increased by approximately $3,226,000 in the second quarter of 2007 from the second quarter of 2006.

COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007, TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2006

Property revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $14,654,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to (i) a $7,212,000 increase in property revenues from the eight properties acquired in 2006 and 2007, and (ii) a $7,442,000 increase in property revenues from all other communities. The increase in property revenues from all other communities was generated primarily by our same store portfolio and was driven by increases in average rent per unit and a reduction in the rate of concessions of net potential rent from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007.

Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping and other property related costs. Property operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $7,445,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2006, due primarily to increases in property operating expenses of (i) $3,556,000 from the eight properties acquired in 2006 and 2007, and (ii) $3,889,000 from all other communities. The increase in property operating expenses from all other communities consisted primarily of our same store portfolio and was driven by an increase in insurance expense over the same quarter last year as a result of higher premiums incurred upon our policy renewal on July 1, 2006.

Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased by approximately $4,370,000 from the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the increases in depreciation expense of (i) $2,281,000 from the eight properties acquired in 2006 and 2007, (ii) $1,286,000 from all other communities, and (iii) $803,000 from the amortization of the fair market value of leases of acquired communities. Increases of depreciation expense from all other communities resulted from asset additions made during the normal course of business.

Property management expenses increased by approximately $2,905,000 from the first half of 2006 to the first half of 2007 primarily related to an increase in personnel incentives resulting from improved property operations, and increased franchise and excise taxes resulting from state law changes. General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $231,000 over this same period mainly as a result of decreased corporate level personnel bonuses.

Interest expense increased approximately $710,000 in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to the increase in our average borrowing cost from 5.45% for the first six months of 2006, to 5.52% for the first six months of 2007, as well as a $26.5 million increase in the average debt outstanding from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 related to new acquisitions, and our development and redevelopment programs.

In the six months ended June 30, 2007, Mid-America benefited from a net gain on insurance and other settlement proceeds of approximately $842,000 compared to $225,000 for the first six months of 2006.

During the first six months of 2007, Mid-America also benefited from the sale of our last joint venture property with Crow Holdings, resulting in a gain of $5.4 million and incentive fees of $1.0 million, a $226,000 gain due to the sale of excess land to a municipality, and a $3.4 million gain due to the sale of two of our communities. No such gains were experienced in the first six months of 2006.

Primarily as a result of the foregoing, net income increased by approximately $9,424,000 in the first half of 2007 from the first half of 2006.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND NET INCOME

Funds from operations, or FFO, represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, minority interest in Operating Partnership income, gain on disposition of real estate assets, plus depreciation of real estate, and adjustments for joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. This definition of FFO is in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust’s, or NAREIT, definition. Disposition of real estate assets includes sales of discontinued operations as well as proceeds received from insurance and other settlements from property damage.

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

Mid-America’s policy is to expense the cost of interior painting, vinyl flooring, and blinds as incurred for stabilized properties. During the stabilization period for acquisition properties, these items are capitalized as part of the total repositioning program of newly acquired properties, and, thus are not deducted in calculating FFO.

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

The following table is a reconciliation of FFO to net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, and 2006 (dollars and shares in thousands):

	Three months						Six months
	ended June 30,						ended June 30,

Diluted		27,951			25,884			27,865			25,387

FFO for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, increased primarily as the result of recently acquired properties and improved performance from existing properties, as well as the sale of excess land of $226,000 to a municipality which was classified as a non-depreciable asset.

TRENDS

Mid-America believes that the primary driver of demand by apartment residents is by job growth, which has continued to be strong throughout the Sunbelt, our operating region.

In the first six months of 2007, community performance continued to be stable and growing throughout most of Mid-America’s markets. Overall, demand for apartment homes continues to be strong throughout our markets, allowing for absorption of new supply and continued pricing traction in most markets. Some of our markets were weaker than the portfolio as a whole, including Tampa and Orlando, where we have a total of 5 communities. These markets experienced some reversing of condominiums to the rental market. Columbus, Georgia, where military deployment caused a temporary reduction in demand, was also weaker than the portfolio as a whole.

Mid-America faces cost pressures from increasing operating expenses, especially insurance and real estate tax costs, as well as increasing prices of materials that we use in maintaining, renovating and further developing our apartments.

We believe that the current environment of strong demand and reduced competition from single family homes, while somewhat offset by rising expenses, will continue to contribute to better operating results in the near future.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash flow provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $1.9 million from $60.7 million in the first six months of 2006 to $58.8 million in the first six months of 2007 as cash from improved existing and new property operations was more than offset by a decrease in our accounts payable levels from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased during the first six months of 2007 from the first six months of 2006 to approximately $40.3 million from $98.4 million mainly related to $82.2 million of cash used for acquisitions in the first six months of 2006 compared to $35.2 million for the first six months of 2007. Mid-America also received $23.6 million in cash during the first six months of 2007 as the result of property sales, this compares to only $1.2 million for the first six months of 2006.

The first six months of 2007 used net cash for financing activities of $19.8 million while the first six months of 2006 provided net cash from financing activities of $35.0 million. This change was due mainly to the $87.3 million of proceeds from issuances of common stock in the first six months of 2006 compared to only $21.8 million for the first six months of 2007.

The weighted average interest rate at June 30, 2007, for the $1.2 billion of debt outstanding was 5.5% compared to 5.6% on $1.1 billion of debt outstanding at June 30, 2006. Mid-America utilizes both conventional and tax exempt debt to help finance its activities. Borrowings are made through individual property mortgages and secured credit facilities. We utilize fixed rate borrowings, interest rate swaps and interest rate caps to manage our current and future interest rate risk. More details on our borrowings can be found in the schedule presented later in this section.

At June 30, 2007, Mid-America had secured credit facility relationships with Prudential Mortgage Capital which are credit enhanced by the Federal National Mortgage Association, or FNMA, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie MAC, and a group of banks led by AmSouth Bank. Together, these credit facilities provided a total borrowing capacity of $1.4 billion and an availability to borrow of $1.2 billion at June 30, 2007. Mid-America had total borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities of $1.0 billion at June 30, 2007.

Approximately 71% of Mid-America’s outstanding obligations at June 30, 2007, were borrowed through facilities with/or credit enhanced by FNMA, also referred to as the FNMA facilities. The FNMA facilities have a combined line limit of $1.0 billion, all of which was available to borrow at June 30, 2007. Mid-America had total borrowings outstanding under the FNMA facilities of approximately $854 million at June 30, 2007. Various traunches of the facilities mature from 2010 through 2014. The FNMA facilities provide for both fixed and variable rate borrowings. The interest rate on the majority of the variable portion renews every 90 days and is based on the FNMA Discount Mortgage Backed Security, or DMBS, rate on the date of renewal, which has typically approximated three-month LIBOR less an average spread of 0.05% - 0.06% over the life of the FNMA facilities, plus a credit enhancement fee of 0.62% to 0.795%.

Each of Mid-America’s secured credit facilities is subject to various covenants and conditions on usage, and are subject to periodic re-evaluation of collateral. If we were to fail to satisfy a condition to borrowing, the available credit under one or more of the facilities could not be drawn, which could adversely affect our liquidity. In the event of a reduction in real estate values the amount of available credit could be reduced. Moreover, if we were to fail to make a payment or violate a covenant under a credit facility, after applicable cure periods, one or more of our lenders could declare a default, accelerate the due date for repayment of all amounts outstanding and/or foreclose on properties securing such facilities. Any such event could have a material adverse effect.

As of June 30, 2007, Mid-America had entered into interest rate swaps totaling a notional amount of $689 million, including a $25 million swap which does not go into effect until July 2007. To date, these swaps have proven to be highly effective hedges. We also had interest rate cap agreements totaling a notional amount of approximately $42 million as of June 30, 2007.

Mid-America believes that it has adequate resources to fund its current operations, annual refurbishment of its properties, and incremental investment in new apartment properties. We rely on the efficient operation of the financial markets to finance debt maturities, and are also heavily reliant on the creditworthiness of FNMA, which provided credit enhancement for approximately $854 million of our debt as of June 30, 2007. The interest rate market for FNMA DMBS, which in our experience is highly correlated with three-month LIBOR interest rates, is also an important component of our liquidity and interest rate swap effectiveness. In the event that the FNMA DMBS market becomes less efficient, or the credit of FNMA becomes impaired, we would seek alternative sources of debt financing.

For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Mid-America’s net cash provided by operating activities was in excess of covering funding improvements to existing real estate assets, distributions to unitholders, and dividends paid on common and preferred shares by approximately $4.4 million. This compares to an excess of approximately $9.7 million for the same period in 2006. While Mid-America has sufficient liquidity to permit distributions at current rates through additional borrowings, if necessary, any significant deterioration in operations could result in our financial resources being insufficient to pay distributions to shareholders at the current rate, in which event we would be required to reduce the distribution rate.

The following table reflects the Company’s total contractual cash obligations which consists of its long-term debt and operating leases as of June 30, 2007, (dollars in thousands):

At June 30, 2007, and 2006, Mid-America did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance, special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. On May 9, 2007, Mid-America entered into a joint venture, Mid-America Multifamily Fund I, LLC. The joint venture was established to acquire multifamily properties. No properties had been acquired by the joint venture as of June 30, 2007. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships. Mid-America does not have any relationships or transactions with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent relationships with us or our related parties other than those disclosed in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 14 in the Company’s 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Mid-America’s investments in real estate joint ventures are unconsolidated and are recorded on the equity method as we do not have a controlling interest.

INSURANCE

Mid-America renegotiated our insurance programs July 1, 2007. Management believes that the property and casualty insurance program in place provides appropriate insurance coverage for financial protection against insurable risks such that any insurable loss experienced would not have a significant impact on Mid-America’s liquidity, financial position or results of operation. Management expects to obtain a reduction in annual policy premiums of approximately $1.5 million from the increased rates experienced at the July 1, 2006, renewal.

INFLATION

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

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or Interpretation 48. Interpretation 48 provides clarification concerning the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in an enterprise’s financial statement in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. Interpretation 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Mid-America adopted Interpretation 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of Interpretation 48 had no material impact on Mid-America’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or Statement 157. Statement 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Mid-America does not believe the adoption of Statement 157 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This and other sections of this Quarterly Report contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about anticipated market conditions, expected growth rates of revenues and expenses, planned asset dispositions, disposition pricing, planned acquisitions and developments, property financings, expected interest rates and planned capital expenditures. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms including “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate and, therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements included in this report on Form 10-Q will prove to be accurate. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included herein, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation by Mid-America or any other person that the objectives and plans of Mid-America will be achieved. In evaluating any forward-looking statement, you should specifically consider the information set forth under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as supplemented herein by Part II, Item 1A: “Risk Factors,” as well as other cautionary statements contained elsewhere in this report, including the matters discussed in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” above.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007, (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
