The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated statements. 6 CHARLES E. SMITH RESIDENTIAL REALTY, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying interim financial statements include all of the accounts of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiary financing partnerships, and Smith Realty Company ("SRC"). The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership due to the Company's control as sole general partner. On January 1, 2001, the Company began consolidating SRC due to the Company's 99% controlling interest in SRC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The financial information furnished is unaudited, and in management's opinion, includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments), that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of March 31, 2001 and the results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2001 and 2000. Such interim results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related footnotes appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company, through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, is engaged in the ownership, operation, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of real estate properties, primarily residential multifamily properties. As of March 31, 2001, the Operating Partnership owned 59 operating multifamily properties containing 27,186 apartment units, had 480 units under construction at one owned site, had 226 units under construction at one site for which the Company owned substantially all of the economic interest, and had an agreement to purchase 383 units at one additional site. The Operating Partnership also had interests in four operating multifamily properties totaling 1,724 apartment units and in one property under construction totaling 630 units. In addition, the Operating Partnership owned one freestanding retail shopping center aggregating 205,000 square feet. The Company's properties are located in the Washington, D.C., Chicago, Boston and Southeast Florida metropolitan areas. 2. DEBT In February 2001, the Company closed on two unsecured credit facilities totaling $150 million from bank groups led by PNC Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which refinanced existing credit facilities scheduled to mature in March 2001. Draws upon the new lines are subject to certain unencumbered asset requirements and bear interest based on London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 85 to 125 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Company. If the Company chooses to and obtains an Investment Grade Rating the applicable margin will be between 62.5 and 100 basis points over LIBOR based on such rating. The Company also pays a quarterly fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% on the full amount available under the lines of credit, depending upon the applicable leverage ratio or investment rating. The line of credit 7 agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum equity value, debt to equity ratios and debt service coverage requirements. In March 2001, the Company closed on two second mortgage loans totaling $31.1 million. The $23.4 million loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.795% and is collateralized by Crystal Towers. The $7.7 million loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.62% and is collateralized by 2000 Commonwealth. The loans require monthly payments of interest only and mature coterminous with their respective first mortgages in January 2006 and January 2007, respectively. In March 2001, the Company refinanced an existing $12.3 million mortgage loan on The Consulate with a $27.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.7% and requires monthly payments of interest only through March 2011, at which time principal amortization begins using a 30-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due March 2012. 3. INVESTMENT IN AND ADVANCES TO PROPERTY SERVICE BUSINESSES In January 2001 the Company and the Property Service Businesses ("PSB") elected to treat each PSB as a taxable REIT subsidiary. In addition, SRC also converted the Company's 99% non-voting stock into voting stock resulting in the Company's control of SRC. Accordingly, the Company began consolidating the financial results of SRC in 2001 instead of using the equity method of accounting. This had no impact to net income but simply changed the financial statement presentation of SRC's results. In February 2001, Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc. ("CES") acquired Commonwealth Air Conditioning and Heating, Inc., one of the largest independent service contractors in the metropolitan Boston, Massachusetts area. The purchase price of $19.1 million consisted of 100,310 shares of common stock (purchased by CES from the Company) and cash. CES funded the transaction through the Operating Partnership in exchange for a promissory note. In March 2001, CES closed on a twelve-month $50 million line of credit with PNC Bank and Commerzbank replacing an expiring facility. The line is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and bears interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 75 to 115 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Company. The current borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 100 basis points. CES also pays a quarterly fee of 10 basis points on the full amount available under the line. 4. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED PROPERTIES In February 2001, the Company entered into and funded a $23.8 million participating loan collateralized by Plaza 440, a 457-unit luxury high-rise property in downtown Chicago. The loan, which matures September 1, 2009, provides the Company with a 90% participation in the property cash flow after debt service if certain minimum property performance thresholds are met. Otherwise, the Company will earn a fixed interest rate of 7%. The loan is subordinate to a first mortgage of $63 million at 7%. After two years, the loan agreement provides the Company the option to convert its 8 loan to an ownership interest. Simultaneous with the loan transaction, Smith Realty Company entered into a multi-year property management agreement with the owner. 5. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY The following table sets forth the Company's issued and outstanding preferred shares:

9 6. PER SHARE DATA Earnings per common share of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 is computed based on weighted average common shares/units outstanding during the period as follows (in millions):

/1/ Represents Operating Partnership units not held by the Company Operating Partnership units not held by the Company may be redeemed at the Unitholders' sole discretion. Such redemption may be made for cash at the then fair value of the Company's common stock, or, at the option of the Company, for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, which does not have a dilutive effect. A total of 289,742 Operating Partnership units were redeemed for shares of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2001. A reconciliation of income and shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2001 follows (dilutive securities had no effect on earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2000):

/(1)/ Adjustment to numerator reflects change in the Minority Interest share of income based on ownership calculation including common stock equivalents. 10 7. SEGMENT REPORTING Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by senior management in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Property Segments The Company's primary business is the ownership and operation of multifamily residential real estate. As such, the residential rental properties constitute the four primary operating segments -- Core, Acquisition/Disposition, Redevelopment and Development portfolios -- depending upon the maturity and nature of each property. Core consists of multifamily properties, other than Redevelopment or Development, which have been owned more than one full calendar year. Therefore, the 2001 Core represents properties owned as of December 31, 1999. Acquisition/Disposition consists of purchased properties which have not yet reflected one full calendar year of operations and disposed properties. Redevelopment includes purchased properties in which the Company is making significant renovations to reposition the property in the market place. Properties will remain in the Redevelopment Portfolio until one full calendar year of operating results is reflected subsequent to completion of the renovations. Development consists of properties which the Company has constructed or is in the process of constructing which have not yet had a full calendar year of stabilized operating results. On the first of January each year, Acquisition, Redevelopment and Development properties that meet the one- year requirement are transferred to the Core portfolio. The Company's fifth property segment is the Retail portfolio, which reflects results for the one free standing retail property. The Company evaluates performance for the Property Segments based on Net Operating Income ("NOI") which is the difference between Rental Revenue and Operating Expenses (which primarily excludes interest expense, general and administrative costs and depreciation). Property Service Business Segment The Company also evaluates the separate financial information of the Property Service Businesses. These businesses provide professional services such as property management, furnished corporate apartment rentals, engineering and technical consulting, and construction management to both Company-owned properties and properties owned by third parties. Given the similarities in the nature of services, customers and distribution methods, the Company considers the Property Service Businesses to be one segment. The Company evaluates performance for the Property Service Business segment based on Funds from Operations ("FFO"), which is defined using the revised definition adopted by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sale of property, plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real estate industry. Depreciation/amortization of assets not unique to the industry, such as amortization of deferred financing costs, goodwill and non-real estate assets, is not added back. The accounting policies for all segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. 11 Information concerning operations by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were as follows (in thousands):

13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and discussed below represent the operations of Charles E. Smith Residential Realty, Inc. (the "Company"), Charles E. Smith Residential Realty L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its subsidiary financing partnerships and Smith Realty Company ("SRC"). The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership due to its control as sole general partner and SRC, effective January 2001, due to its 99% controlling interest. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used throughout this report, the words "believes," "anticipates," "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements indicate that assumptions have been used that are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual financial results or management plans and objectives to differ materially from those projected or expressed herein, including: the effect of national and regional economic conditions, particularly with regard to the levels of multifamily property occupancy and rental growth in the Washington, D.C., southeast Florida, Chicago, and Boston metropolitan areas; the Company's ability to identify and secure additional properties and sites that meet its criteria for acquisition or development; the acceptance of the Company's financing plans by the capital markets, and the effect of prevailing market interest rates and the pricing of the Company's stock; and other risks described from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. The registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly release the result of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect any future events or circumstances. Rental Revenue Average revenue per apartment unit for the Company's core multifamily properties increased approximately 8.5% in the first quarter of 2001 as compared with 2000.

Net income of the Operating Partnership increased $3.0 million, or 12.9%, from $23.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Funds from Operations ("FFO") of the Operating Partnership increased $8.4 million, or 27.7%, from $30.0 million to $38.4 million during the same period. Net income of the Company increased from $10.6 million ($0.51 per diluted common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $12.9 million ($0.56 per diluted common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2001. FFO of the Company increased 34.8%, from $18.9 million to $25.5 million during the same period. The increases in FFO and net income are primarily attributable to net operating income growth of 7.6% on the core portfolio and contributions from acquired and developed properties. Revenue increased $17.7 million, or 19.9%, from $88.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $106.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Operating expenses increased $10.0 million, or 28.2%, from $35.5 million during the first quarter of 2000 to $45.5 million during the current quarter. Core Portfolio. Revenue from the core portfolio increased $5.8 million, or 8.5%, over the prior year period resulting in average monthly revenue per apartment unit of $1,251. This was primarily due to continued strong demand in all submarkets, which allowed management to continue to aggressively raise rents. In addition, the Company continued its selective kitchen and/or bath 18 renovation program, which has significantly enhanced its ability to increase rents. Management estimates the return on such investments is approximately 12% to 15%. Overall, rent potential increased 7.3% during the quarter as compared to the prior year. This was partially offset by a slight decrease in occupancy. Average economic occupancy for the core portfolio was 96.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to 96.8% for the comparable prior year quarter. Expenses for the core portfolio increased $2.6 million, or 9.9%, due primarily to a significant increase in utility costs over the prior year's quarter. A combination of higher usage due to colder weather and significantly higher gas rates resulted in a $1.3 million increase over the prior year. Acquisition/Disposition Portfolio. The acquisition properties are defined as properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 1999. Results for the first quarter of 2000 reflect no acquisition properties, two residential dispositions totaling 989 apartment units, and one retail disposition. Results for the first quarter of 2001 reflect four acquisition properties and no dispositions totaling 1,044 apartment units. Total capitalized cost of the acquisition portfolio at March 31, 2001 was $130.5 million. Redevelopment Portfolio. The redevelopment portfolio includes purchased properties in which the Company is making significant renovations to reposition the property in the market place. The redevelopment portfolio consists of seven properties totaling 5,479 units and contributed approximately 30%, or $5.3 million, of the total revenue increase. Total capitalized cost of the redevelopment portfolio at March 31, 2001 was $491.7 million. The total spent on renovations for the first quarter of 2001 was $14.6 million. Development Portfolio. One Superior Place reached stabilized occupancy in June 2000 and produced net operating income of $3.0 million for current quarter, compared to $1.7 million in the prior year quarter. Total capitalized cost at March 31, 2001 was $113.7 million, which does not reflect an earnout payment expected to be paid to the developer in early 2002. Park Connecticut reached stabilized occupancy in October 2000 and produced net operating income of $0.6 million for the current quarter compared to a $0.2 million loss in the prior year quarter. Total capitalized cost at March 31, 2001 was $28.3 million. Property Service Businesses. Recent tax legislation which became effective January 1, 2001 allows the direct ownership and control by REITs of Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRS"). Such TRS's may engage in activities which were previously considered impermissible for REITs in terms of qualifying income for purposes of maintaining REIT qualification. Effective January 1, 2001, the Company and all of its Property Service Businesses have elected TRS status in accordance with the new legislation. No changes have been made, however, to the ownership structure of CES or SMC. The Company continues to maintain its 99%, non-voting interest as it has in the past. However, SRC has changed. Effective January 1, 2001 SRC converted the Company's 99% non-voting interest into a 99% voting interest. The Company began consolidating the financial results of SRC instead of using the equity method of accounting in 2001. This had no impact to net income or FFO but simply changed the financial statement presentation of SRC's results. 19 Income from Property Service Businesses increased $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2001 compared to the prior year quarter. Consolidated Engineering Services, Inc. and affiliates contributed an increase of $0.7 million in income during the quarter, which was due to both internal growth and the acquisition of four businesses during the second half of 2000. Smith Management Construction contributed $0.7 million to the increase. Other. Corporate general and administrative expenses were 3.6% of total revenues. The increase in total cost of $1.2 million, or 43.1%, was due primarily to a $0.8 million reserve established in connection with the Company's investment in Broadband Residential, Inc. ("BBR"), a privately owned telecommunications company. Net interest expense increased $4.1 million during the quarter, or 22.9%, due to financing of acquisition and development activity. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Summary. Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $0.7 million from $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $25.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net cash flow of $92.7 million was used by investment activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $114.2 million during the comparable prior year period. The decrease was due primarily to no acquisition activity in the first quarter of 2001, which was partially offset by higher development activity and capital improvements. Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $67.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001, primarily comprised of $82.5 million of net borrowings against the properties, lines of credit, and construction loans, offset by a $26.9 million cash outflow for dividends and distributions. Net cash flows provided by financing activities of $78.9 million in the comparable prior year period primarily consisted of $101.8 million of net cash inflow from borrowings less $25.0 million of dividends/distributions. Funds from Operations FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income (loss), computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and property sales, plus depreciation/amortization of assets unique to the real estate industry. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income) and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company considers FFO a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. Comparison of the Company's presentation of FFO, using the NAREIT definition, to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily 20 be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs. Funds from Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 are computed as follows (in thousands):

Development As of March 31, 2001, the Company had the following properties under construction:

(1) The Company has a 40% ownership interest. (2) The Company owns substantially all of the economic interest. Commitments As of March 31, 2001, the Company had executed contracts to purchase multifamily properties under construction as follows:

21 This contract is contingent upon satisfactory completion of construction and attainment of final certificates of occupancy by the owners. As of March 31, 2001, the Company had posted a $10.9 million letter-of-credit in accordance with the contract to be drawn only if the Company defaults on its contractual obligation to purchase the completed asset. Several other acquisition and development projects are being pursued by the Company. As of March 31, 2001, the capitalized development costs related to probable development projects totaled $3.9 million. The Company anticipates meeting funding requirements for acquisitions and development, including the repositioning program, through draws on its lines of credit, long-term borrowings, asset sales and public or privates issuances of equity, including Operating Partnership unit exchanges. Debt In February 2001, the Company closed on two unsecured credit facilities, totaling $150 million, both from bank groups led by PNC Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, which refinanced existing unsecured credit facilities scheduled to mature in March 2001. Draws upon the lines are subject to certain unencumbered asset requirements and bear interest based on London Interbank Offer Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable margin of 85 to 125 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Company. If the Company chooses to and obtains an Investment Grade Rating the applicable margin will be between 62.5 and 100 basis points over LIBOR based on such rating. The Company also pays a quarterly fee ranging from 0.125% to 0.20% on the full amount available under the lines of credit, depending upon the applicable leverage ratio or investment rating. The line of credit agreements contain certain restrictive covenants, including maintenance of minimum equity value, debt to equity ratios and debt service coverage requirements. In March 2001, the Company closed on two second mortgage loans totaling $31.1 million. The $23.4 million loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.795% and is collateralized by Crystal Towers. The $7.7 million loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.62% and is collateralized by 2000 Commonwealth. The loans require monthly payments of interest only and mature coterminous with their respective first mortgages in January 2006 and January 2007, respectively. In March 2001, the Company refinanced an existing $12.3 million mortgage loan on The Consulate with a $27.0 million mortgage loan. The new loan has a fixed interest rate of 6.7% and requires monthly payments of interest only through March 2011, at which time principal amortization begins using a 30-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment due March 2012. In March 2001, CES closed on a twelve-month $50 million line of credit with PNC Bank and Commerzbank replacing an expiring facility. The line is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership and bears interest based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 75 to 115 basis points based on the leverage ratio of the Company. The current borrowing rate is LIBOR plus 100 basis points. CES also pays a quarterly fee of 10 basis points on the full amount available under the line. 22 As of March 31, 2001, the Company had mortgage indebtedness and other borrowings, which carried a weighted average interest rate of 7.13%, as follows:

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had $152.4 million of unused borrowing capacity on lines of credit and construction loans. (Unused borrowing capacity includes $29.8 million from the $300 million line, which reflects the borrowing capacity currently available under the line of $163.8 million, less $134.0 million used at March 31, 2001.) Amounts outstanding under lines of credit average $171.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $104.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000. As of March 31, 2001, the Company's Debt to Total Market Capitalization Ratio was 39.4% (based on 22.7 million common shares, 7.2 million convertible preferred shares and units, and 13.2 million partnership units outstanding at a common stock price of $45.49, and $50 million of perpetual preferred stock) versus 37.3% as of December 31, 2000 and 40.5% as of March 31, 2000. The Company's Interest Coverage Ratio, excluding gains on sales and extraordinary items, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 was 2.98 to 1 compared to 3.09 to 1 for the comparable prior year period. 23 Capital Expenditures For the three months ended March 31, 2001, total capital improvements were $27.2 million, of which $12.2 million were for the core portfolio ($621 per unit). Approximately 57% of the capital expenditures on the core portfolio in 2001 are considered by management to be non-recurring, repositioning improvements. Management considers such improvements as one-time, non-recurring capital expenditures, which significantly enhance the asset. Certain repositioning improvements directly result in higher revenues. For example, the Company renovated approximately 375 kitchens and baths during the first quarter of 2001 based solely on the ability to charge and obtain a rent premium. The remaining 43% of the capital expenditures on the core portfolio indirectly influence the Company's ability to generate revenues and are considered more recurring in nature and less discretionary. For example, periodic replacement is expected for items such as appliances and HVAC equipment. However, the Company does not generate additional revenue from these improvements and has little discretion as to whether or not they are made. A summary of core capital expenditures for the period follows:

/(1)/ Primarily represents carryover repositioning improvements which were identified and/or begun upon acquisition of the property. 24 PART II Item 1. Legal Proceedings None Item 2.
