CONFIDENTIAL Institutional Shareholder Services Presentation May 6, 2003

Certain statements made in this presentation and other written or oral statements made by or on behalf of the Company, may constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements regarding future events and developments and the Company's future performance, as well as management's expectations, beliefs, plans, estimates or projections relating to the future, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of these laws. Examples of such statements in this presentation include the Company's plans to focus on core markets, to reduce overhead and operation costs, to enhance the value of the "Post" brand, to selectively dispose of assets and current management's ability to maximize shareholder value. All forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from those projected. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. These statements are based on current expectations and speak only as of the date of such statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from the expected results described in the Company's forward-looking statements: the Company's ability to successfully defend against Mr. William's proxy contest; future local and national economic conditions, including changes in job growth, interest rates, the availability of financing and other factors; demand for apartments in the Company's markets and the effect on occupancy and rental rates; the impact of competition on the Company's business, including competition for tenants and development locations; the Company's ability to obtain financing or self-fund the development of additional apartment communities; the uncertainties associated with the Company's current real estate development, including actual costs exceeding the Company's budgets or development periods exceeding expectations; conditions affecting ownership of residential real estate and general conditions in the multi-family residential real estate market; the effects of changes in accounting policies and other regulatory matters detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and uncertainties of litigation; and the Company's ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code. Other important risk factors regarding the Company are included under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002 and may be discussed in subsequent filings with the SEC. Forward Looking Statements

Post's current Board and management team are committed to enhancing value for all shareholders Introduction The current management team has had to overcome the challenges created by Mr. Williams' more recent expansion Post is executing an effective business plan We believe Mr. Williams is intensely focused on his own personal tax situation resulting from his significant unit holdings The existing Board is independent-minded, highly-qualified, committed to good corporate governance and is making the right decisions

Mr. Williams, as CEO Presided Over a Substantial Decline in Operating Results and Stock Price - Resulting in His Departure as CEO "Remember, Mr. Williams only relinquished control in July 2002, well after the problems for PPS began. In fact, over the past nine months since Chief Executive Officer David Stockert has been directing PPS activities, we have gained a greater degree of confidence as the Company is, in our opinion, once again heading to a position of solid footing...[T]he direction of the Company is considerably more secure than it was only 12 months ago." - A. Pevnev, McDonald Investments Inc., First Call, 04/07/03 "Under Mr. Williams' watch as CEO and chairman of the board, PPS shares dropped from a peak of over $46 in July 2000 to as low as $26.50 in July 2002. Since that time, shares have been as low as $22.40, but that was still under the watch of Mr. Williams as chairman of the board. We believe Mr. Williams has played an active role in the company's performance to date." - Rod Petrik, Tamara J. Fique, Legg Mason, First Call 04/08/03 "Said one buy-sider, 'It isn't as if we all parachuted to Earth yesterday. We remember John's [Williams] role in what's happened at Post.' . . . One investor with a sizable stake in Post . . . said he was troubled by Williams' attempt to rewrite history. 'To hear John tell it, the diversification effort that got Post into trouble in the first place was a darn good idea and it would have worked if hadn't been for forces outside the company's control. I don't know if John really believes that or he's just convinced himself that was the case to keep from facing up to the fact that he screwed up." - Barry Vinocur, REIT Wrap, 04/15/03 "This management change [referring to Mr. Williams being replaced as Chairman of the Board by Robert C. Goddard, III] is important for Post as the company continues to move beyond many of its previous problems (mostly development related) and into the next phase of its life." - Steve Sakwa, Merrill Lynch, First Call, 02/21/03 What the Analysts have to say: Note: Permission to use materials quoted in this presentation was neither sought nor obtained.

The Current Management Team Has Had to Overcome the Challenges of Mr. Williams' More Recent Geographic and Product- Type Expansion Under Mr. Williams, Post pursued an overly aggressive expansion of development initiatives into several unfamiliar markets, which led to significant cost overruns Spread too thin in markets where Post lacked critical mass, development expertise or local contacts At various times during the year 2000, Post had as many as 18 construction projects underway in 11 separate cities, involving total construction spending of some $600 million Major shift in product focus to new urbanism and mixed-use requiring significantly more complicated mid-rise and high-rise (heavy frame) construction expertise than Post had at the time Inadequate asset management given the scope of Post's geographic and product-type expansion

Appendix: Supplemental Information

Regulation G Disclosure The year-to-year percentage change in Same-Property Net Operating Income for the Atlanta and Dallas markets presented on page 11 is a non-GAAP financial measure. In this presentation, we define Net Operating Income as rental and other revenues from real estate operations less total property operating and maintenance expenses from real estate operations (exclusive of depreciation and amortization). We believe the most directly comparable GAAP measure demonstrating a year-to-year change in performance in these markets is the line item in our consolidated statements of operations entitled "Income From Continuing Operations Before Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Entities, Gains on Property Sales and Minority Interest". A reconciliation of the year-to-year percentage change in Same-Property Net Operating Income for the Atlanta and Dallas Markets to the year-to-year percentage change in Income From Continuing Operations Before Equity In Losses of Unconsolidated Entities, Gains on Property Sales and Minority Interest is provided in Table 1. The information presented in Table 1 under the heading "Same-Property Net Operating Income (NOI) Summary by Market" demonstrates the differences between Same-Property Net Operating Income for the Atlanta and Dallas Markets versus Same-Property Net Operating Income for all of our Same-Property communities and calculates Same-Property Net Operating Income for the Atlanta and Dallas Markets using Same-Property Rental and Other Revenues and Same-Property Property Operating and Maintenance Expense. The Same-Property Net Operating Income numbers for Atlanta and Dallas presented in Table 1 under the heading "Same-Property Net Operating Income (NOI) by Market" are the numbers from which the year-to-year percentage change is calculated on page 11. The information presented in Table 1 under the heading "Reconciliation of Same-Property Net Operating Income (NOI) to Income from Continuing Operations before Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Entities, Gains on Property Sales and Minority Interest" is a reconciliation of Same-Property Net Operating Income to the line item in our consolidated statements of operations entitled "Income From Continuing Operations Before Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Entities, Gains on Property Sales and Minority Interest". Table 1 also provides a calculation of the year-to-year percentage change in Income From Continuing Operations Before Equity in Losses of Unconsolidated Entities, Gains on Property Sales and Minority Interest.

Regulation G Disclosure (cont'd) The Same-Property Unit Maintenance, Landscaping and Capital Expenditures numbers are non-GAAP financial measures. In Table 2 and Table 3 we refer to Maintenance, Landscaping and Capital Expenditures as Repairs and Maintenance, including payroll, Landscape Maintenance, including payroll, and Recurring and Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures, respectively. We believe the line entitled "Property Operating and Maintenance Expense" in our consolidated statements of operations is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to each of Same-Property Repairs and Maintenance, including payroll and Landscape Maintenance, including payroll. Both measures are subsets of Same-Property Property Operating and Maintenance Expense. A reconciliation of Same-Property Repairs and Maintenance, including payroll and Landscape Maintenance, including payroll to Same-Property Property Operating and Maintenance Expense is included Table 2 under the heading "Same-Property Operating Expense by Category". In addition, Table 2 provides a calculation of Same-Property Repairs and Maintenance, including payroll and Landscape Maintenance, including payroll on a per unit basis. The information presented in Table 2 under the heading "Property Maintenance and Operating Expense by Operating Segment" is a reconciliation of Same-Property Property Operating and Maintenance Expense to the line item in our consolidated statements of operations entitled "Property Operating and Maintenance Expense". We believe the lines entitled "Recurring Capital Expenditures" and "Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures" in our consolidated statements of cash flows are the most directly comparable GAAP measures to Same Store Recurring and Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures. A reconciliation of Same-Property Recurring and Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures to the line items in our consolidated statements of cash flows entitled "Recurring Capital Expenditures" and "Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures" is presented in Table 3. In addition, Table 3 provides a calculation of Same-Property Recurring and Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures on a per unit basis.
