__________________

1. Basis of Presentation:

The pro forma financial statements of Bay Apartment Communities, Inc. (the
"Company"), which are unaudited, have been prepared based on the historical
financial statements of the Company. The pro forma consolidated balance sheet
has been prepared as if the acquisition of the three apartment communities in
July and August, 1996 (the "1996 Acquisition Communities"), the Company's
second public offering in August, 1996 (the "Offering"), and paydowns on the
$200 million unsecured line of credit (the "1996 Credit Facility"), had
occurred on June 30, 1996. The pro forma consolidated statements of operations
for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and the year ended December 31, 1995,
have been prepared as if the above mentioned events had occurred on January 1,
1995. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of these transactions have been made. The pro forma financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements of the Company.

The pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of operations of the Company would have been for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 or for the year ended December 31, 1995 had the 1996
Acquisition Communities, the Offering, and paydowns on the 1996 Credit Facility
occurred on January 1, 1995, nor do they purport to represent the results of
operations for future periods.

2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS:

A. Additional real estate assets are attributable to the 1996
Acquisition Communities which consist of the $27.9 million
acquisition of The Fountains Apartments, the $24.5 million
acquisition of Channing Heights Apartments, and the $17.5 million
acquisition of Mill Creek Apartments.

B. Decrease in cash and cash equivalents is attributable to cash used
to acquire the 1996 Acquisition Communities.

C. Increase in other liabilities is attributable to resident deposits
and accrued property taxes from the 1996 Acquisition Communities.

D. Increase in cash and cash equivalents is attributable to $134.2
million in net proceeds from the Offering offset by the $64.7
million paydown of the 1996 Credit Facility.

E. Decrease in notes payable is attributable to the paydown of the
1996 Credit Facility.

F. Increase in common stock is attributable to the issuance of shares
in the Offering.
