Formation of the Company and the Operating Partnership

The Company and the Operating Partnership were formed to succeed to
substantially all of the interests of Colonial Properties, Inc., an Alabama
corporation ("Colonial"), its affiliates and certain other entities in a
diversified portfolio of multifamily, office, and retail properties located in
Alabama, Florida, and Georgia and to the development, acquisition, management,
leasing, and brokerage businesses of Colonial.

On September 29, 1993, (i) the Company consummated an initial public
offering (the "IPO") of 8,480,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest,
$.01 par value per share ("Common Shares"), (ii) the Operating Partnership
assumed ownership of 36 Properties (or interests therein) held by Thomas H.
Lowder, James K. Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, and their mother, Catherine Lowder
(the "Lowder family"), and third-party partners of the Lowder family, and the
operating businesses of Colonial, (iii) the Company transferred to the Operating
Partnership, in exchange for 8,480,000 units of limited partnership interest in
the Operating Partnership ("OP Units"), (iv) the Operating Partnership repaid
approximately $150.2 million of indebtedness and prepayment penalties associated
therewith secured by certain of the Properties, and (v) the Operating
Partnership established a $35.0 million line of credit with SouthTrust Bank,
which has since been increased to $300.0 million, to fund development activities
and property acquisitions and for general corporate purposes (collectively, the
"Formation Transactions").







Recent Developments

Since the Company's IPO, CRLP has acquired new properties representing
a total investment of over $1.3 billion.

Multifamily Properties--During 2001, CRLP completed development of 440
apartment units in two multifamily communities and acquired land on which it
intends to develop additional multifamily communities. The aggregate investment
in the multifamily developments during 2001 was $39.0 million. As of December
31, 2001, CRLP has 544 apartment units in 3 multifamily communities under
development or redevelopment. Management anticipates that the 3 multifamily
projects will be completed during 2002. Management estimates that it will invest
an additional $3.3 million to complete these multifamily communities.

Office Properties--During 2001, CRLP increased its office portfolio by
318,161 square feet with the development of two office buildings. In addition,
CRLP began development on two office properties in Orlando, Florida. The
aggregate investment in the office developments during 2001 was $57.5 million.
Management estimates that it will invest an additional $33.0 million to complete
these properties.

Retail Properties--During 2001, CRLP completed the redevelopment of two
retail properties, and began the development of one community shopping center in
Birmingham, Alabama. The aggregate investment in the retail developments during
2001 was $61.0 million. Management anticipates that it will invest an additional
$11.4 million to complete the retail development.

Restructuring of Colonial Properties Services, Inc.--In August 2001,
the Company acquired all of the voting and non-voting common stock of Colonial
Properties Services, Inc. ("CPSI") for $4,000 that it did not already own. As a
result, CPSI is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRLP.

Third Party Development--In September 2001, CRLP entered into an
agreement pursuant to which CRLP will provide development and other consulting
services to a third-party developer of a $30 million multifamily property
located in Raleigh, North Carolina. CRLP will act as the leasing and management
agent for the property. In addition, CRLP has guaranteed a $3.3 million working
capital loan obtained by three principals of the developer. This loan matures on
August 2, 2002 and may be extended until August 2, 2004 if specified conditions
are met. CRLP will receive a fee in return for this guaranty. CRLP has the right
of first refusal to purchase this property should the developer elect to sell
it.

Orlando Fashion Square Joint Venture--In October 1998, CRLP sold a 50%
interest in our Orlando Fashion Square retail property located in Orlando,
Florida to a third party and subsequently entered into a joint venture agreement
with the third party relating to the management of the property. The joint
venture agreement gives the third party the right, which became effective
December 28, 2001, to convert its 50% interest in the property into the
Company's common shares if specified terms and conditions are met. The
conversion value of the interest would be determined at the time of conversion
in accordance with procedures set forth in the joint venture agreement, and
would be net of the third party's pro rata share of any indebtedness secured by
the property. As of December 31, 2001, the property was subject to mortgage
indebtedness in the amount of $65 million. Based on the terms and conditions of
the conversion feature, CRLP continues to believe that it is unlikely that the
third party will convert its interest into the Company's common shares.

Sale of Common Shares--On February 25, 2002, the Company sold an
aggregate of 570,381 common shares for an aggregate net proceed of approximately
$17.7 million in two separate transactions. The Company sold 260,710 of these
common shares at the purchase price of $33.17 per share, before deducting
underwriting fees, to Salomon Smith Barney Inc. who deposited these common
shares with the Trustee of the Equity Focus Trusts REIT Portfolio Series,
2002-A. In addition, the Company sold the remaining 299,670 common shares to
Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc. at the purchase price of $33.17
per share, before deducting placement agent fees paid to Merrill Lynch who acted
as the Company's placement agent.

The following is a summary of CRLP's acquisition, disposition, and
development activity in 2001.






Acquisition and Disposition Activity

During 2001, CRLP disposed of a total of nine properties for an
aggregate sale price of $83.5 million and certain land and outparcels for $5.3
million.

Properties located in Macon, Georgia, Mobile, Alabama, Auburn, Alabama, and
Savannah, Georgia that contained 701 units in the aggregate for a total sale
price of approximately $21.2 million.

In September 2001, CRLP sold two Retail Properties located in Florida,
representing 304,168 square feet for a total sale price of $19.3 million.

Bradenton, Florida that contained 376 units for a total sale price of $23.7
million.

In November 2001, CRLP sold one Office Property located in Birmingham,
Alabama that contained 34,357 square feet for a total sales price of $3.8
million.

In December 2001, CRLP sold one Multifamily Property located in Macon,
Georgia that contained 296 units for a sales price of approximately $15.5
million, $11.6 million of which was paid in the form of a note receivable
payable in three months and the remainder of which was paid in cash.

There were no property acquisitions in 2001.

Development Activity

During 2001, CRLP completed development of 440 new apartment units in
two multifamily communities and acquired land on which it intends to develop
additional multifamily communities during 2002 and 2003. The aggregate cost of
this multifamily development activity during 2001 was $39.0 million. As of
December 31, 2001, CRLP had 544 apartment units in three multifamily communities
under development or redevelopment. Management anticipates that the three
multifamily projects will be completed during 2002. Management expects to invest
an additional $3.3 million over this period to complete these multifamily
projects.

During 2001, CRLP completed development of two office buildings,
representing 318,161 square feet, and began development of two office properties
in Orlando, Florida. The aggregate investment in the office developments during
2001 was $57.5 million. Management estimates that it will invest an additional

Financing Activity

CRLP funded a portion of its developments and expansions through the
issuance of debt securities and preferred stock. In June 2001, the Company
issued 2,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest (Series C Preferred
Shares). The Series C Preferred Shares pay a quarterly dividend at 9.25% per
annum and may be redeemed by the Company on or after June 19, 2006. The Series C
Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, sinking fund or mandatory redemption
and are not convertible into any other securities of the Company. The Series C
Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The net
proceeds of the offering were approximately $48.1 million and were used to repay
outstanding balances under CRLP's unsecured line of credit. In December 2001,
CRLP completed one unsecured medium-term debt offering of $10.0 million at 7.46%
with a maturity of December 2006. Additionally, during 2001, CRLP received
proceeds of $39.0 million related to the secured financing of two properties,
which are collateralized by the properties.

CRLP continued its asset recycling program, which allows CRLP to sell
mature, slower growing assets and reinvest the proceeds into opportunities with
more growth potential. During 2001, CRLP disposed of six multifamily properties
representing 1,373 units, one office property representing 34,357 square feet,
and two retail properties representing 304,168 square feet. The multifamily,
office, and retail properties were sold for a total sales price of $83.5
million, of which $4.5 million was used to repay a secured loan, $11.6 million
was issued as a note receivable, and the remaining proceeds were used to repay a
portion of the borrowings under CRLP's unsecured line of credit and to support
CRLP's future investment activities.

As of December 31, 2001, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit
providing for total borrowings of up to $300 million. This line of credit
agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March
2003, and provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The
line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP
to convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a
fixed term not to exceed 90 days. At December 31, 2001, CRLP had $135.0 million
outstanding under the competitive bid feature. The credit facility is primarily
used by CRLP to finance property acquisitions and development and has an
outstanding balance at December 31, 2001, of $261.4 million. The interest rate
of this short-term borrowing facility, including the competitive bid balance, is
3.08% and 7.66% at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Business Strategy

Our business objective is to generate stable and increasing cash flow and
portfolio value for our shareholders through a strategy of:

o realizing growth in income from our existing portfolio of properties;

o developing, expanding, and selectively acquiring additional
multifamily, office and retail properties in growth markets located in
the Sunbelt region of the United States, where we have first-hand
knowledge of growth patterns and local economic conditions and believe
we have a competitive advantage due to our size and access to
lower-cost capital;

o selectively acquiring portfolios of properties from established,
high-quality regional developers in exchange for Operating Partnership
units and then foster and harvest our ongoing relationship with the
Operating Partnership unitholders as a resource for construction and
development opportunities, as well as additional acquisitions;

o entering into joint ventures to generate increased returns by providing
leasing, management and development services;

o recycling capital by selectively disposing of slower-growing assets and
reinvesting the proceeds into opportunities with more growth potential;

o managing our own properties, which enables us to better control
operating expenses and establish long-term relationships with our
office and retail tenants;

o maintaining our third-party property management business, which
increases cash flow and establishes additional relationships with
potential tenants; and

o employing a comprehensive capital maintenance program to maintain
properties in first-class condition.

CRLP's business strategy and the implementation of that strategy are
determined by the Company's Board of Trustees and may be changed from time to
time.







Financing Strategy

Our strategy is to maintain coverage ratios in order to sustain our
investment grade status. On December 31, 2001, our total market capitalization
was $2.5 billion and our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was 48.3%.
We calculate debt to total market capitalization as total debt as a percentage
of total debt, including preferred shares and units, plus the market value of
our outstanding common shares and the outstanding units of CRLP. At December 31,
2001, our total debt of approximately $1.2 billion, which excludes approximately
$67.3 million that is attributable to us based on our unconsolidated interests
in several joint ventures, included fixed-rate debt of approximately $926.4
million, or 77.8% of total debt, and floating-rate debt of approximately $264.1
million, or 22.2% of total debt. Certain loan agreements contain restrictive
covenants, which among other things require maintenance of various financial
ratios. At December 31, 2001, we were in compliance with these covenants.

CRLP has entered into several different hedging transactions in an
effort to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table
summarizes the notional values, fair values and other characteristics of CRLP's
derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2001. The notional value at
December 31, 2001 provides an indication of the extent of CRLP's involvement in
these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit,
interest rate, or market risk.


Interest Fair Value

1) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $30.2 - $27.7 million 5.932% 1/01/06 $ (1,549)
2) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $75.0 million 2.130% 12/10/02 32
3) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $50.0 million 2.319% 1/01/03 (39)

8) Interest Rate CAP, Cash Flow $30.4 million 11.200% 6/30/03 1


Most of CRLP's hedges are designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flow
hedges hedge the future cash flows of current or forecasted debt. Interest rate
swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps,
floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains/losses
in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a
corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
or in earnings--depending on the type of hedging relationship. If the hedging
transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the offsetting gains and losses are
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the hedging
transaction is characterized as a fair value hedge, then the changes in fair
value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings. If the fair
value hedging relationship is fully effective, there is no net effect reflected
in income or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and any offsets to
the hedging transaction is reflected in notes and mortgages payable. Over time,
the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent
with when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. Within the next
twelve months, CRLP expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $0.4 million
of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

CRLP hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 12 months. During the
forecasted period, unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Once the hedged
transaction takes place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings
during the same period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

We may modify our borrowing policy and may increase or decrease our
ratio of debt to total market capitalization. To the extent that our Board of
Trustees determines to seek additional capital, we may raise such capital
through additional equity offerings, debt financings, asset dispositions or
retention of cash flow (subject to provisions in the Internal Revenue Code of
1986 requiring the distribution by a REIT of a certain percentage of taxable
income and taking into account taxes that would be imposed on undistributed
taxable income) or a combination of these methods.







Property Management

CRLP is experienced in the management and leasing of multifamily,
office, and retail properties and believes that the management and leasing of
its own portfolio has helped the Properties maintain consistent income growth
and has resulted in reduced operating expenses from the Properties. The
third-party management, leasing, and brokerage businesses conducted through the
Management Corporation have provided CRLP both with a source of cash flow that
is relatively stable and with the benefits of economies of scale in conjunction
with the management and leasing of its own properties. These businesses also
allow CRLP to establish additional relationships with tenants who may require
additional office or retail space and to identify potential acquisitions.

Operational Structure

We manage our business with three separate and distinct operating
divisions: multifamily, office and retail. We have centralized functions that
are common to each division, including accounting, information technology, due
diligence and administrative services. Decisions regarding acquisitions and
developments and dispositions are also centralized. Each division has an
Executive Vice President that oversees growth and operations and has a separate
management team that is responsible for acquiring, developing, and leasing
properties within each division. This structure allows us to utilize specialized
management personnel for each operating division. Although these divisions
operate independently from one another, constant communication among the
Executive Vice Presidents provides us with unique synergies allowing us to take
advantage of a variety of investment opportunities. In addition, the third-party
management, leasing and brokerage businesses have provided us both with a source
of cash flow that is relatively stable and with the benefits of economies of
scale in conjunction with the management and leasing of our own properties.
These businesses also allow us to establish additional relations with tenants
that may require additional retail or office space and to identify potential
acquisitions. Additional information with respect to each of the operating
divisions is set forth below:

Multifamily Division. Our multifamily division is responsible for all
aspects of multifamily operations, including day-to-day management and leasing
of the 49 multifamily properties, as well as the provision of third-party
management services for apartment communities in which we do not have an
ownership interest or have a non-controlling ownership interest.

Office Division. Our office division is responsible for all aspects of
our commercial office operations, including the provision of management and
leasing services for the 17 office properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for office properties in which we do not have an
ownership interest and for brokerage services in other office property
transactions.

Retail Division. Our retail division is responsible for all aspects of
our retail operations, including the provision of management and leasing
services for the 42 retail properties, as well as the provision of third-party
management services for retail properties in which we do not have an ownership
interest and for brokerage services in other retail property transactions.

Employees

CRLP employs approximately 950 persons, including on-site property
employees who provide services for the Properties that CRLP owns and/or manages.

Tax Status

CRLP has no provision for income taxes since all taxable income or loss
or tax credits are passed through to the partners. The Company has made an
election to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code,
commencing with its taxable year ending December 31, 1993. If the Company
qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to
Federal income tax to the extent it distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable
income to its shareholders. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a
REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income
and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.

Risk Factors

Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to investors
who purchase or own our units of limited partnership interest. Our units are
redeemable for cash or, at the election of Colonial Properties Trust, on a
one-for-one basis for Colonial Properties Trust's shares of beneficial interest.

Our assets may not generate sufficient income to pay our expenses, and
we may not be able to control our operating costs

If our assets do not generate income sufficient to pay our expenses and
maintain our properties, or if we do not adequately control our operating costs,
we may not be able to pay our expenses, maintain our properties or service our
debt. A number of factors may adversely affect our ability to generate
sufficient income. These factors include:

o whether or not we can attract tenants at favorable rental rates, which
will depend on several factors, including:

-- local conditions such as an oversupply of, or reduction in
demand for, multifamily, retail or office properties;

-- the attractiveness of our properties to residents, shoppers
and tenants, and

-- decreases in market rental rates;

o our ability to collect rent from our tenants.

Factors that may adversely affect our operating costs include:

o the need to pay for insurance and other operating costs, including real
estate taxes, which could increase over time;

o the need periodically to repair, renovate and relet space;

o the cost of compliance with governmental regulation, including zoning
and tax laws;

o the potential for liability under applicable laws;

o interest rate levels; and

o the availability of financing.







Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenues decrease

The expense of owning and operating a property is not necessarily reduced
when circumstances such as market factors and competition cause a reduction in
income from the property. As a result, if revenues drop, we may not be able to
reduce our expenses accordingly. Loan payments are an example of a cost that
will not be reduced if our revenues decrease. If a property is mortgaged and we
are unable to meet the mortgage payments, the lender could foreclose on the
mortgage and take the property, resulting in a further reduction in revenues.

We may be unable to renew leases or relet space as leases expire

If our tenants decide not to renew their leases upon their expiration, we
may not be able to relet the space. Even if the tenants do renew or we can relet
the space, the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required
renovations, may be less favorable than current lease terms. If we are unable to
renew the leases or relet the space promptly, or if the rental rates upon
renewal or reletting are significantly lower than expected rates, then our cash
flow will be adversely affected.

We depend on local economic conditions in our primary markets

All of our properties are located in the Sunbelt region of the United
States. In addition, 16.6% of our net operating income in 2001 derived from
properties located in Birmingham, Alabama, 13.3% from properties located in
Orlando, Florida, and 10.3% from properties located in Huntsville/Decatur,
Alabama. Our performance and ability to pay our expenses, maintain our
properties and service our debt could be adversely affected by economic
conditions in the Sunbelt region and in Birmingham, Orlando and
Huntsville/Decatur in particular.

New acquisitions and developments may fail to perform as expected

Assuming we are able to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, we
intend to selectively acquire multifamily, retail or office properties where we
perceive investment opportunities that are consistent with our business
strategies. Newly acquired properties may fail to perform as expected. We may
underestimate the costs necessary to bring an acquired property up to the
standards we have established for its intended market position. In addition, we
may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable
property acquisitions on favorable terms.

Competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for
properties

We expect other major real estate investors with significant capital to
compete with us for attractive investment opportunities. These competitors
include publicly traded REITs, private REITs, investment banking firms and
private institutional investment funds. This competition could increase prices
for multifamily, retail or office properties.

Our development and expansion activities may result in significant
costs, and new properties may be slow to generate income

We intend to continue to develop new properties and expand existing
properties where we believe that development or expansion is consistent with our
business strategies. New projects subject us to a number of risks, including the
risks that:

o construction delays or cost overruns may increase project costs;

o permanent debt or equity financing may not be available on acceptable
terms to finance new development or expansion projects;

o we may fail to meet anticipated occupancy or rent levels;

o we may fail to secure required zoning, occupancy or other governmental
permits and authorizations; and

o changes in applicable zoning and land use laws may require us to
abandon projects prior to their completion, resulting in the loss of
development costs incurred up to the time of abandonment.

Because real estate investments are illiquid, we may not be able to
sell properties when appropriate

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be
able to vary our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions.
This inability to respond to changes in the performance of our investments could
adversely affect our ability to service our debt.






Environmental problems are possible and can be costly

Federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of
the environment may require a current or previous owner or operator of real
property to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum
product releases at the property, without regard to whether the owner or
operator knew or caused the presence of the contaminants. If unidentified
environmental problems arise at one of our properties, we may have to make
substantial payments to a governmental entity or third parties for property
damage and for investigation and clean-up costs. Even if more than one person
may have been responsible for the contamination, we may be held responsible for
all of the clean-up costs incurred. Our liability under environmental laws could
adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to service our debt.

On December 29, 1998, we acquired Bel Air Mall in Mobile, Alabama. During
the course of our environmental due diligence, we identified several different
areas of the property in which contamination is present. One of those areas
involves drycleaner solvent; the others involve petroleum contamination. The
Alabama Department of Environmental Management is overseeing the investigation
and cleanup of the drycleaner contamination. It is possible that a claim could
be asserted against us, as owner of the property, for the investigation and
remediation of the contamination. Under the terms of the purchase and sale
agreement, the former owner of the property purchased a $10 million insurance
policy and established escrow accounts totaling $1,275,000 to cover the costs
associated with investigating and remediating the contaminated areas. In
addition, subject to limitations, the seller will be performing all required
remediation of the drycleaner contamination.

Some potential losses are not covered by insurance

We carry comprehensive liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss
insurance on all of our properties. We believe the policy specifications and
insured limits of these policies are adequate and appropriate. There are,
however, certain types of losses, such as lease and other contract claims, that
generally are not insured. Should an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of
insured limits occur, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have
invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the
property. In such an event, we might nevertheless remain obligated for any
mortgage debt or other financial obligations related to the property.

Debt financing, financial covenants, our degree of leverage and increases in
interest rates could adversely affect our economic performance

Scheduled debt payments could adversely affect our financial condition

Our business is subject to risks normally associated with debt financing.
If principal payments due at maturity cannot be refinanced, extended or paid
with proceeds of other capital transactions, such as new equity capital, our
cash flow will not be sufficient in all years to repay all maturing debt. If
prevailing interest rates or other factors at the time of refinancing, such as
the possible reluctance of lenders to make commercial real estate loans, result
in higher interest rates, increased interest expense would adversely affect cash
flow and our ability to service our debt.

Our obligation to comply with financial covenants in our debt
agreements could restrict our range of operating activities

Our credit facility contains customary restrictions, requirements and other
limitations on our ability to incur debt, including:

o debt to assets ratios;

o secured debt to total assets ratios;

o debt service coverage ratios; and

o minimum ratios of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt.







The indenture under which our senior unsecured debt is issued contains
financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios. Our indenture also
limits our ability to:

o incur secured and unsecured indebtedness;

o sell all or substantially all or our assets; and

o engage in mergers, consolidations and acquisitions.

Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional
financing

Our "debt to market capitalization" ratio, which we calculate as total
debt as a percentage of total debt, including preferred shares and units, plus
the market value of outstanding units, was approximately 48.3% as of December
31, 2001. Increases in our leverage could adversely affect our ability to obtain
additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures,
acquisitions, development or other general corporate purposes, and may make us
more vulnerable to a downturn in business or the economy generally.

Rising interest rates could adversely affect our cash flow

Advances under our credit facility bear interest at a rate of 115 basis
points above LIBOR. We may borrow additional money with variable interest rates
in the future, and may enter into other transactions to limit our exposure to
rising interest rates as appropriate and cost effective. Increases in interest
rates, or the loss of the benefits of hedging agreements, would increase our
interest expense, which would adversely affect cash flow and our ability to
service our debt.

Some of our general partner's trustees and officers have conflicts of interest
and could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with holders of interests
in the Company

As a result of their substantial ownership of units, Messrs. Thomas
Lowder, the Company's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and
President, and James Lowder, Harold Ripps, Herbert Meisler, M. Miller Gorrie,
and William Johnson, each of whom is a trustee of the Company, might seek to
exert influence over our decisions as to sales or refinancings of particular
properties we own. Any such exercise of influence might produce decisions that
are not in the best interest of all of the holders of interests in the Company.

The Lowder family, and their affiliates, holds interests in companies
that have performed construction, management, insurance brokerage and other
services with respect to our properties. These companies may perform similar
services for us in the future. As a result, the Lowder family may realize
benefits from transactions between such companies and the Company that are not
realized by other holders of interests in the Company. In addition, Thomas and
James Lowder, as trustees of the Company, may be in a position to influence the
Company to do business with companies in which the Lowder family has a financial
interest. Our policies may not be successful in eliminating the influence of
conflicts. Moreover, transactions with companies controlled by the Lowder
family, if any, may not be on terms as favorable to us as we could obtain in an
arms-length transaction with a third party.

We are dependent on external sources of capital

To qualify as a REIT, Colonial Properties Trust must distribute to our
shareholders each year at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding any
net capital gain. Because of these distribution requirements, it is not likely
that we will be able to fund all future capital needs from income from
operations. We therefore will have to rely on third-party sources of capital,
which may or may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to
third-party sources of capital depends on a number of things, including the
market's perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future
earnings. Moreover, additional equity offerings may result in substantial
dilution of our shareholders' interests, and additional debt financing may
substantially increase our leverage.





We may change our business policies in the future

Our major policies, including our policies with respect to development,
acquisitions, financing, growth, operations, debt capitalization and
distributions, are determined by the Company's board of trustees. Although it
has no present intention to do so, the board may amend or revise these and other
policies from time to time. A change in these policies could adversely affect
our financial condition, results of operations or ability to service debt.

Colonial Properties Trust intends to qualify as a REIT, but we cannot guarantee
that it will qualify

We believe that Colonial Properties Trust has qualified for taxation as
a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended
December 31, 1993. If Colonial Properties Trust qualifies as a REIT, it
generally will not be subject to federal income tax on our income that it
distributes to its shareholders. Colonial Properties Trust plans to continue to
meet the requirements for taxation as a REIT, but it may not qualify. Many of
the REIT requirements are highly technical and complex. The determination that
it is a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances
that may not be totally within its control. For example, to qualify as a REIT,
at least 95% of its gross income must come from sources that are itemized in the
REIT tax laws. Colonial Properties Trust generally is prohibited from owning
more than 10% of the voting securities or more than 10% of the value of the
outstanding securities of any one issuer, subject to certain exceptions,
including an exception with respect to corporations electing to be "taxable REIT
subsidiaries," and it is also required to distribute to shareholders at least
90% of its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains. The fact that it holds
most of its assets through CRLP further complicates the application of the REIT
requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent mistake could jeopardize its REIT
status. Furthermore, Congress and the Internal Revenue Service might make
changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the courts might issue new rulings
that make it more difficult, or impossible, for it to remain qualified as a
REIT. We do not believe, however, that any pending or proposed tax law changes
would jeopardize its REIT status.

If Colonial Properties Trust failed to qualify as a REIT, it would be
subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. Also, unless the
Internal Revenue Service granted it relief under certain statutory provisions,
it would remain disqualified as a REIT for the four years following the year it
first failed to qualify. If it failed to qualify as a REIT, it would have to pay
significant income taxes and would therefore have less money available for
investments or for distributions to shareholders. This would likely have a
significant adverse affect on the value of its common shares. In addition, it
would no longer be required to make any distributions to shareholders, but it
would still be required to distribute quarterly substantially all of our net
cash revenues to our unitholders.

Undeveloped Land

CRLP owns various parcels of land, which are held for future
development (collectively, the "Land"). Land adjacent to Multifamily Properties
typically will be considered for potential development of another phase of an
existing Multifamily Property if CRLP determines that the particular market can
absorb additional apartment units. For expansions at Office and Retail
Properties, CRLP owns parcels both contiguous to the boundaries of the
properties, which would accommodate additional office buildings, expansion of
the mall or shopping center, and outparcels which are suitable for restaurants,
financial institutions or free standing retailers.

CRLP believes that the demographic and economic trends and conditions
in the markets where the Properties are located indicate a potential for
continued growth in property net operating income. The Properties are located in
a variety of distinct submarkets within Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. However,
Birmingham, Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama, Orlando, Tampa and
Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida, and Macon and Atlanta, Georgia, are CRLP's primary
markets. CRLP believes that its markets in these nine states, which are
characterized by stable and increasing population and employment growth, should
continue to provide a steady demand for multifamily, office, and retail
properties.

Mortgage Financing

Certain of the Properties are subject to mortgage indebtedness. The
Properties whose financial results are consolidated in the financial statements
of CRLP are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness and other notes payable in
an aggregate amount as of December 31, 2001, of approximately $1.19 billion
carrying a weighted average interest rate of 5.93% and a weighted average
maturity of 5.2 years. The mortgage indebtedness on the Properties as of
December 31, 2001, is set forth in the table below:

(1) As noted in the table, certain Properties were developed in phases and
separate mortgage indebtedness may encumber each of the various phases.
In the listing of property names, CG has been used as an abbreviation
for Colonial Grand and CV as an abbreviation for Colonial Village.

(2) The maturity date noted represents the date on which credit enhancement
expires for the tax-exempt municipal bonds put in place as part of the
original financing for the Property. The stated maturity date for the
loans is August 1, 2022.

(3) This line of credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, based
on LIBOR plus a spread of 115 basis points. The facility also includes
a competitive bid feature that allows CRLP to convert up to $150
million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed term not
to exceed 90 days. At December 31, 2001, CRLP had $135.0 million
outstanding under the competitive bid feature.

(4) This credit facility has a term of three years beginning in March 2000
and provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.
Effective December 2001, CRLP entered interest rate swap agreements of
$150.0 million on its line of credit, which fixes the rate on the
floating line for one year at a blended rate of 2.24% plus a spread of
115 basis points.

(5) Represents floating rate debt that has been swapped to a fixed rate of
6.59%.

(6) $50.0 million of this medium term fixed rate debt has been swapped to a
floating index rate of 3-mo LIBOR.





In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the ten Multifamily
Properties, one Office Property and three Retail Properties in which CRLP owns
partial interests (and which therefore are not consolidated in the financial
statements of CRLP) also are subject to existing mortgage indebtedness. CRLP's
pro-rata share of such indebtedness as of December 31, 2001, was $67,347,553,
which carried a weighted average interest rate of 6.29%. The maturity dates of
these loans range from January 15, 2006 and February 1, 2015, and as of December
31, 2001, the loans had a weighted average maturity of 4.4 years. In November
2000, CRLP engaged in an interest rate swap agreement on $5.0 million of the
variable rate debt, and fixed the rate on the debt to 7.99% for a term of 15
months.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

Neither CRLP nor the Properties are presently subject to any material
litigation nor, to CRLP's knowledge, is any material litigation threatened
against CRLP or the Properties, other than routine litigation arising in the
ordinary course of business which is expected to be covered by liability
insurance.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matters were submitted to CRLP's unitholders during the fourth
quarter of 2001.

PART II

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Shareholder
Matters.

There is no established public trading market for the Units. As of
March 11, 2002, there were 110 holders of record of Units.

CRLP has made consecutive quarterly distributions since its formation
in the third quarter of 1993. CRLP's ability to make distributions depends on a
number of factors, including its net cash provided by operating activities,
capital commitments and debt repayment schedules. Holders of Units are entitled
to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Board of Trustees of
the Company, its general partner, out of any funds legally available for that
purpose.

The following table sets forth the distributions per Unit paid by CRLP
during the periods noted:

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

GENERAL

CRLP is the operating partnership the Company, whose shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange. The Company is engaged in the ownership, development,
management, and leasing of multifamily communities, office buildings, retail
malls and shopping centers. The Company owns and operates properties in nine
states in the Sunbelt region of the United States. As of December 31, 2001,
CRLP's real estate portfolio consisted of 49 multifamily communities, 17 office
properties, and 42 retail properties.

CRLP manages its business with three separate and distinct operating divisions:
Multifamily, Office, and Retail. Each division has an Executive Vice President
that oversees growth and operations and has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, and leasing properties within each
division. This structure allows Colonial to utilize specialized management
personnel for each operating division. Although these divisions operate
independently from one another, constant communication among the Executive Vice
Presidents provides CRLP with unique synergy allowing CRLP to take advantage of
a variety of investment opportunities.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this report. As used herein, the terms "Colonial" or "CRLP"
includes Colonial Properties Trust, and one or more of its subsidiaries
including, among others, CRLP.

Any statement contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which
might be otherwise considered an opinion or projection concerning CRLP or its
business, whether express or implied, is meant as, and should be considered, a
forward-looking statement as that term is defined in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Forward-looking statements are based upon
assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown risks,
including but not limited to changes in market conditions, the supply and demand
for leasable real estate, interest rates, increased competition, changes in
governmental regulations, and national and local economic conditions generally,
as well as other risks more completely described in CRLP's filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. If any of these assumptions or opinions
prove incorrect, any forward-looking statements made on the basis of such
assumptions or opinions may also prove materially incorrect in one or more
respects.

Results of Operations--2001 vs. 2000

In 2001, CRLP experienced growth in revenues and operating expenses, which is
primarily the result of the acquisition and development of 14 properties and the
expansion of one property during 2001 and 2000, net of the disposition of 15
properties during 2001 and 2000. As a result of the acquisitions, developments,
expansions, and dispositions, CRLP's income from operations decreased by $0.9
million, or 0.6%, for 2001 when compared to 2000. On a per unit basis, basic net
income is $2.00 for 2001, a 9.9% increase, compared to $1.82 for 2000. The
increase in net income available to common unitholders, on a per unit basis, is
primarily the result of the gain recognized on the sales of nine properties in
2001 of $15.7 million, compared to the gain of $8.2 million recognized in 2000
on the sale of six properties.

Revenues--Total revenues increased by $14.0 million, or 4.6%, during 2001 when
compared to 2000. Of this increase, $8.1 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired, developed, or expanded during 2001 and 2000,
net of properties disposed. The remaining increase primarily relates to
increases in rental rates at existing properties, lease buyouts, ancillary
income, and the consolidation of Colonial Properties Services, Inc. (CPSI)
during 2001. The office division accounts for the majority of the overall
revenue increase, approximately $6.8 million, while the retail and multifamily
divisions account for $5.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The
divisional revenue growth is primarily attributable to the acquisition,
development, and expansion of 8 multifamily properties, 3 office properties, and
4 retail properties, net of the disposition of 11 multifamily properties, one
office property, and 3 retail properties during 2001 and 2000.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $14.9 million, or
9.3%, during 2001 when compared to 2000. Of this increase, $3.5 million relates
to additional property operating expenses and additional depreciation and
amortization of $3.6 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 2001 and 2000, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 2001 and 2000. Divisional property operating
expenses increased by $1.9 million, $3.9 million, and $5.8 million for the
multifamily, office, and retail divisions, respectively, during 2001 when
compared to 2000. The increase in divisional property operating expenses is
primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 8
multifamily properties, 3 office properties, and 4 retail properties, net of the
disposition of 11 multifamily properties, one office property, and 3 retail
properties during 2001 and 2000. The remaining change primarily relates to
increases in operating expenses at existing properties and the consolidation of
CPSI during 2001.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense decreased by $0.5 million, or 0.6%,
during 2001 when compared to 2000. The decrease in interest expense is primarily
attributable to the decrease in the variable interest rate environment in 2001
as compared to 2000, of which CRLP has $264.1 million of floating rate debt
outstanding as of December 31, 2001. Gains from sales of property increased $7.5
million during 2001 when compared to 2000, as a result of the sale of 9
properties in 2001 as compared to 6 properties in 2000.

Results of Operations--2000 vs. 1999

In 2000, CRLP experienced growth in revenues and operating expenses, which is
the result of the acquisition and development of 16 properties and the expansion
of 4 properties during 2000 and 1999, net of the disposition of 13 properties
during 2000 and 1999. As a result of the acquisitions, developments, expansions,
and dispositions, CRLP's income from operations increased by $8.5 million, or
6.4%, for 2000 when compared to 1999. On a per unit basis, net income is $1.82
for 2000, a 3.2% decrease, compared to $1.88 for 1999. The decrease in net
income available to common shareholders, on a per share basis, is directly
attributable to the increase in depreciation expense as a result of the
acquisition, development, and expansion of 20 properties in 2000 and 1999.

Revenues--Total revenues increased by $20.1 million, or 7.1%, during 2000 when
compared to 1999. Of this increase, $ 16.6 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired, developed, or expanded during 2000 and 1999,
net of properties disposed. The remaining increase primarily relates to
increases in rental rates at existing properties and lease buyouts during 2000.
The retail division accounts for the majority of the overall revenue increase,
approximately $10.5 million, while the office and multifamily divisions account
for $9.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth
is primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 12
multifamily properties, 4 office properties, and 4 retail properties, net of the
disposition of 12 multifamily properties and one retail property during 2000 and
1999.

Operating Expenses--Total operating expenses increased by $11.6 million, or
7.7%, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $3.6 million and additional
depreciation of $4.1 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 2000 and 1999, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 2000 and 1999. Depreciation expense on existing
properties increased by $2.6 million during 2000 when compared to 1999.
Divisional property operating expenses increased by $0.9 million, $4.4 million,
and $5.4 million for the multifamily, office, and retail divisions,
respectively, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The increase in divisional
property operating expenses is primarily attributable to the acquisition,
development, and expansion of 12 multifamily properties, 4 office properties,
and 4 retail properties, net of the disposition of 12 multifamily properties and
one retail property during 2000 and 1999. The remaining change primarily relates
to increases in operating expenses at existing properties.

Other Income and Expenses--Interest expense increased by $14.6 million, or
25.6%, during 2000 when compared to 1999. The increase in interest expense is
primarily attributable to the issuance of $152.5 million in Medium Term Notes
during 2000 and 1999, and the increased usage of CRLP's line of credit in
conjunction with the financing of acquisitions, developments, expansions, and
investment activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 2001, CRLP invested $161.8 million in the acquisition, development,
re-development, and expansion of properties. This acquisition and development
activity increased CRLP's multifamily, office, and retail property holdings.
CRLP financed the growth through proceeds from the issuance of $50.0 million of
preferred stock through the Company, public offerings of debt totaling $10.0
million during 2001, advances on its bank line of credit, disposition of assets,
and cash from operations.







Acquisition and Development Activities

Multifamily Properties--During 2001, CRLP completed development of 440 apartment
units in two multifamily communities and acquired land on which it intends to
develop additional multifamily communities. The aggregate investment in the
multifamily developments during 2001 was $39.0 million. As of December 31, 2001,
CRLP has 544 apartment units in 3 multifamily communities under development or
redevelopment. Management anticipates that the 3 multifamily projects will be
completed during 2002. Management estimates that it will invest an additional
$3.3 million to complete these multifamily communities.

Office Properties--During 2001, CRLP increased its office portfolio by 318,161
square feet with the development of two office buildings. In addition, CRLP
began development on two office properties in Orlando, Florida. The aggregate
investment in the office developments during 2001 was $57.5 million. Management
estimates that it will invest an additional $33.0 million to complete these
properties.

Retail Properties--During 2001, CRLP completed the redevelopment of two retail
properties, and began the development of one community shopping center in
Birmingham, Alabama. The aggregate investment in the retail developments during
2001 was $61.0 million. Management anticipates that it will invest an additional
$11.4 million to complete the retail development.

Financing Activities

CRLP funded a portion of its developments and expansions through the issuance of
debt securities and preferred stock of the Company. During June 2001, the
Company issued 2,000,000 preferred shares of beneficial interest (Series C
Preferred Shares). The Series C Preferred Shares pay a quarterly dividend at
9.25% per annum and may be redeemed by the Company on or after June 19, 2006.
The Series C Preferred Shares have no stated maturity, sinking fund or mandatory
redemption and are not convertible into any other securities of the Company. The
Series C Preferred Shares have a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The
net proceeds of the offering were approximately $48.1 million and were used to
repay outstanding balances under CRLP's unsecured line of credit. During
December 2001, CRLP completed one unsecured medium-term debt offering of $10.0
million at 7.46% with a maturity of December 2006. Additionally, during 2001,
CRLP received proceeds of $39.0 million related to the secured financing of two
properties, which are collateralized by the properties.

CRLP continued its asset recycling program, which allows CRLP to sell mature,
slower growing assets and reinvest the proceeds into opportunities with more
growth potential. During 2001, CRLP disposed of six multifamily properties
representing 1,373 units, one office property representing 34,357 square feet,
and two retail properties representing 304,168 square feet. The multifamily,
office, and retail properties were sold for a total purchase price of $83.5
million, of which $4.5 million was used to repay a secured loan, $11.6 million
was issued as a note receivable, and the remaining proceeds were used to repay a
portion of the borrowings under CRLP's unsecured line of credit and to support
CRLP's future investment activities.

As of December 31, 2001, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit providing for
total borrowings of up to $300 million. This line of credit agreement bears
interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March 2003, and
provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The line of
credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP to
convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a fixed
term not to exceed 90 days. The credit facility is primarily used by CRLP to
finance property acquisitions and development and has an outstanding balance at
December 31, 2001, of $261.4 million. The interest rate of this short-term
borrowing facility, including the competitive bid balance, is 3.08% and 7.66% at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

At December 31, 2001, CRLP's total outstanding debt balance was $1.2 billion.
The outstanding balance includes fixed rate debt of $926.4 million, or 77.8%,
and floating-rate debt of $264.1 million, or 22.2%. CRLP's total market
capitalization as of December 31, 2001 was $2.5 billion and its ratio of debt to
total market capitalization was 48.3%. Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain
restrictive covenants, which among other things require maintenance of various
financial ratios. At December 31, 2001, CRLP was in compliance with these
covenants.

Derivative Instruments

In the normal course of business, CRLP is exposed to the effect of interest rate
changes. CRLP limits these risks by following established risk management
policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. For interest rate
exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements between
interest rates associated with CRLP's leasing income and other financial assets
with interest rates on related debt, and manage the cost of borrowing
obligations.

CRLP does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Further, CRLP
has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial institutions
based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in conjunction
with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designed to
hedge, CRLP has not sustained a material loss from those instruments nor does it
anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or financial position
in the future from the use of derivatives.

CRLP has entered into several different hedging transactions in an effort to
manage exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table summarizes the
notional values, fair values and other characteristics of CRLP's derivative
financial instruments at December 31, 2001. The notional value at December 31,
2001 provides an indication of the extent of CRLP's involvement in these
instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest
rate, or market risk.

2) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $75.0 million 2.130% 12/10/02 32
3) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $50.0 million 2.319% 1/01/03 (39)
4) Interest Rate SWAP, Cash Flow $25.0 million 2.430% 1/01/03 (47)

8) Interest Rate CAP, Cash Flow $30.4 million 11.200% 6/30/03 1


Most of CRLP's hedges are designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flow hedges hedge
the future cash flows of current or forecasted debt. Interest rate swaps that
convert variable payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps, floors,
collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains/losses in the
fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a
corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
or in earnings--depending on the type of hedging relationship. If the hedging
transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the offsetting gains and losses are
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the hedging
transaction is characterized as a fair value hedge, then the changes in fair
value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings. If the fair
value hedging relationship is fully effective, there is no net effect reflected
in income or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and any offsets to
the hedging transaction is reflected in notes and mortgages payable. Over time,
the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent
with when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. Within the next
twelve months, CRLP expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $0.4 million
of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

CRLP hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted
transactions over a maximum period of 12 months. During the forecasted period,
unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be reported in
accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Once the hedged transaction takes
place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings during the same
period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

Colonial is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by the
counterparties to its interest rate cap and nonderivative financial assets but
has no off-balance-sheet credit risk of accounting loss. CRLP anticipates,
however, that counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations
under the contracts. Colonial does not obtain collateral or other security to
support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit
standing of counterparties.







Other Arrangements

In September 2001, CRLP entered into an agreement to provide services to a third
party in connection with the third party's development of a $30 million
multi-family property in North Carolina. CRLP was engaged to serve as
development consultant and leasing and management agent for this property. In
addition, for a fee, CRLP is serving as a guarantor for a $3.3 million working
capital loan obtained by the three principals of the third party entity, which
loan is primarily collateralized jointly and severally by the personal assets of
the borrowers. CRLP has a right of first refusal to purchase the property should
the third party elect to sell. Over the term of the agreement, CRLP expects to
earn market fees for its services.

Critical Accounting Policies

CRLP's accounting policies are critical to understanding the results of
operations as reported in the consolidated financial statements. Significant
accounting policies utilized by CRLP are discussed in more detail in the notes
to consolidated financial statements of CRLP's Annual Report. Management
believes that CRLP's accounting policies that are the most significant and that
require the most judgment are within its accounting for the development of real
estate projects. Management believes that the following accounting policies
within this process are both important to the portrayal of CRLP's financial
condition and results and requires significant judgment or complex estimation
processes. CRLP capitalizes predevelopment costs paid to third parties incurred
on a project. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when
it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of
a project commences, CRLP capitalizes all direct costs incurred to construct the
project, including real estate taxes. In addition, certain allocable overhead
expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the personnel
assigned to development and the investment in the project relative to all
development projects. Once a project is completed and placed in service, it is
depreciated over its estimated useful life. Buildings and improvements are
depreciated generally over 40 years and leasehold improvements are amortized
over the lives of the applicable leases or the estimated useful life of the
asset, whichever is shorter.

OUTLOOK

Management intends to maintain CRLP's strength through continued
diversification, while pursuing acquisitions and developments that meet CRLP's
criteria for property quality, market strength, and investment return.
Management will continue to use its line of credit to provide short-term
financing for acquisition, development, and expansion activities and plans to
continue to replace significant borrowings under the bank line of credit with
funds generated from the sale of additional equity securities and permanent
financing, as market conditions permit. Management believes that these potential
sources of funds, along with the possibility of issuing limited partnership
units in exchange for properties, will provide CRLP with the means to finance
additional acquisitions, developments, and expansions.

In addition to the issuance of equity and debt, management is investigating
alternate financing methods and sources to raise future capital. Private
placements, joint ventures, and non-traditional equity and debt offerings are
some of the alternatives CRLP is contemplating.

Management anticipates that its net cash provided by operations and its existing
cash balances will provide the necessary funds on a short- and long- term basis
to cover its operating expenses, interest expense on outstanding indebtedness,
recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to unitholders in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code requirements applicable to real estate investment trusts.

INFLATION

Leases at the multifamily properties generally provide for an initial term of
six months to one year and allow for rent adjustments at the time of renewal.
Leases at the office properties typically provide for rent adjustments and the
pass-through of certain operating expenses during the term of the lease.
Substantially all of the leases at the retail properties provide for the
pass-through to tenants of certain operating costs, including real estate taxes,
common area maintenance expenses, and insurance. All of these provisions permit
CRLP to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to rising
prices and, therefore, serve to minimize CRLP's exposure to the adverse effects
of inflation.

An increase in general price levels may immediately precede, or accompany, an
increase in interest rates. At December 31, 2001, CRLP's exposure to rising
interest rates was mitigated by the existing debt level of 48.3% of CRLP's total
market capitalization, the high percentage of fixed rate debt (77.8%), and the
use of interest rate swaps to effectively fix the interest rate on $75.0 million
through December 2002, $75.0 million through January 2003, and approximately
$30.0 million through January 2006. As a result, for the short-term, increases
in interest expense resulting from increasing inflation is anticipated to be
less than future increases in income before interest.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

CRLP is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its
line of credit and long-term debt used to maintain liquidity and fund capital
expenditures and expansion of CRLP's real estate investment portfolio and
operations. CRLP's interest rate risk management objective is to limit the
impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower it's
overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, CRLP borrows primarily at
fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest
rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk
on a related financial instrument. CRLP does not enter into derivative or
interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

The table below presents the principal amounts, weighted average interest rates,
fair values and other terms required by year of expected maturity to evaluate
the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Also included
is a summary of the CRLP's swap contracts and rate caps at December 31, 2001.

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of December 31, 2001;
it does not consider those exposures or positions, which could arise after that
date. Moreover, because firm commitments are not presented in the table above,
the information presented therein has limited predictive value. As a result,
CRLP's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations
will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, CRLP's hedging
strategies at that time, and interest rates.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization - Colonial Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership" or "CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, is the operating
partnership of Colonial Properties Trust (the "Company"), an Alabama real estate
investment trust ("REIT") whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange
("NYSE"). CRLP is engaged in the ownership, development, management, and leasing
of multifamily housing communities, office buildings, and retail malls and
centers. CRLP also owns certain parcels of land.

Federal Income Tax Status - The Company, which is considered a
corporation for federal income tax purposes, qualifies as a REIT for federal
income tax purposes and generally will not be subject to federal income tax to
the extent it distributes its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. REITs are
subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the
Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be
subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.
No provision for federal income taxes is included in the financial statements.
The Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and
property.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements
include the Operating Partnership and Colonial Properties Services Limited
Partnership (in which CRLP holds 99% general and limited partner interests).

Investments in Partially Owned Entities - Partnerships and corporations
in which CRLP owns a 50% or less interest and does not control are reflected in
the consolidated financial statements as investments accounted for under the
equity method. Under this method the investment is carried at cost plus or minus
equity in undistributed earnings or losses since the date of acquisition.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Land, Buildings, and Equipment--Land, buildings, and equipment is
stated at the lower of cost, less accumulated depreciation, or net realizable
value. CRLP reviews its long-lived assets and certain intangible assets 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 the asset
to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If an asset is
considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the
amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the asset's fair value.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or
fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during
the sale period, which is not expected to be greater than one year. Depreciation
is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets, which range from 7 to 40 years. Repairs and maintenance are charged
to expense as incurred. Replacements and improvements are capitalized and
depreciated over the estimated remaining useful lives of the assets. When items
of land, buildings, or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and
accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is
included in the results of operations.

Undeveloped Land and Construction in Progress--Undeveloped land and
construction in progress is stated at cost. CRLP capitalizes all costs
associated with land development and construction.

Capitalization of Interest--CRLP capitalizes interest during periods in
which property is undergoing development activities necessary to prepare the
asset for its intended use.

Cash and Equivalents--CRLP includes highly liquid marketable securities
and debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less in cash
equivalents.

Restricted Cash--Cash which is legally restricted as to use consists
primarily of tenant deposits. Deferred Debt and Lease Costs--Amortization of
debt costs is recorded using the straight-line method, which approximates the
effective interest method, over the terms of the related debt. Direct leasing
costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related
leases.

Derivative Instruments--CRLP adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 133 (subsequently amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138),
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, on January 1,
2001. This statement requires all derivatives to be recognized on the balance
sheet and measured at fair value. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge
treatment under SFAS No. 133 must be recorded at fair value with gains or losses
recognized in earnings in the period of change. CRLP has certain involvement
with derivative financial instruments but does not use them for trading or
speculative purposes. Interest rate cap agreements and interest rate swaps are
used to reduce the potential impact of increases in interest rates on
variable-rate debt.

CRLP formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments
and hedged items, as well as its risk management objective and strategy for
undertaking the hedge. This process includes specific identification of the
hedging instrument and the hedge transaction, the nature of the risk being
hedged and how the hedging instrument's effectiveness in hedging the exposure to
the hedged transaction's variability in cash flows attributable to the hedged
risk will be assessed. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing
basis, CRLP assesses whether the derivatives that are used in hedging
transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair
values of hedged items. CRLP is required to discontinue hedge accounting if a
derivative is not determined to be highly effective as a hedge or has ceased to
be a highly effective hedge.

Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP to set interest rates in
anticipation of public debt offerings. Treasury locks are presented on the
balance sheet, with any gains or losses recorded in Other Comprehensive Income
(Loss) and amortized over the life of the debt. All unutilized treasury locks
are expensed when their future utility expires. All treasury locks were utilized
during 2001 and 2000.

Revenue Recognition--Rental income attributable to leases is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Certain leases contain
provisions for additional rent based on a percentage of tenant sales. Percentage
rents are recognized in the period in which sales thresholds are met. Recoveries
from tenants for taxes, insurance, and other property operating expenses are
recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred.

Other income received from long-term contracts signed in the normal
course of business are recognized in accordance with the terms of the specific
contract. Property management and development fee income is recognized when
earned for services provided to third parties.

Net Income Per Unit--Basic net income per unit is calculated by
dividing the net income available to common unitholders by the weighted average
numbers of common units outstanding during the periods. Diluted net income per
unit is calculated by dividing the net income available to common unitholders by
the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the periods,
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive unit options.

Use of Estimates--The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segment Reporting--Reportable segments are identified based upon
management's approach for making operating decisions and assessing performance
of CRLP.

Software Development--CRLP capitalizes certain internally developed
software costs. Capitalized internal software development costs are amortized
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software.

Common Unit Repurchases-- During 1999, the Company's Board of Trustees
authorized a common unit repurchase program under which the Company may
repurchase up to $150 million of its currently outstanding common units from
time to time at the discretion of management in open market and negotiated
transactions. To date, the Company has repurchased 5,623,150 units at an all-in
cost of approximately $150 million, which represents an average purchase price
of $26.70. These units are included within treasury stock, which is a reduction
of partners' capital.

Reclassifications--Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made
to the 1999 and 2000 financial statements in order to conform them to the 2001
financial statement presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on
partners' capital or net income.

Recent Pronouncements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB)--FASB Statement No. 144 (SFAS No. 144), Accounting for the Impairment or
Disposal on Long-Lived Assets, addresses significant issues relating to the
implementation of FASB Statement No. 121 (SFAS No. 121), Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of, and
to develop a single accounting model, based on the framework established in SFAS
No. 121, for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously
held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2001. CRLP is currently evaluating the impact that
the adoption of SFAS No. 144 will have on its financial statements.






3. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

CRLP acquired one operating property during 2000, and two operating
properties during 1999 at aggregate costs of $25.4 million, and $45.8 million,
respectively. CRLP funded these acquisitions with cash proceeds from its public
offerings of debt (see Note 8), advances on bank lines of credit, the issuance
of limited partnership units, the proceeds received from the formation of joint
ventures (see Note 6), the proceeds received from the issuance of preferred
units (see Note 12), and cash from operations. There were no property
acquisitions in 2001.

The properties acquired during 2000 and 1999 are listed below:

In addition to the acquisition of the operating properties mentioned
above, CRLP also acquired a parcel of land in October 1999 through the issuance
of 388,898 limited partnership units valued at $10.3 million. Also, in September
2000, CRLP acquired a parcel of land from a related party through the issuance
of 12,477 limited partnership units valued at approximately $0.3 million. (see
Note 15)

Other Arrangements

In September 2001, the Company entered into an agreement to provide
services to a third party in connection with the third party's development of a
$30 million multi-family property in North Carolina. Colonial was engaged to
serve as development consultant and leasing and management agent for this
property. In addition, for a fee, the Company is serving as a guarantor for a
$3.3 million working capital loan obtained by the three principals of the third
party entity, which loan is primarily collateralized jointly and severally by
the personal assets of the borrowers. The Company has a right of first refusal
to purchase the property should the third party elect to sell. Over the term of
the agreement, the Company expects to earn market fees for its services.







7. Segment Information

CRLP is organized into, and manages its business based on the
performance of three separate and distinct operating divisions: Multifamily,
Office, and Retail. Each division has a separate management team that is
responsible for acquiring, developing, managing, and leasing properties within
each division. The applicable accounting policies of the segments are the same
as those described in the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies." However,
the pro rata portion of the revenues, net operating income (NOI), and assets of
the partially- owned entities and joint ventures that CRLP has entered into are
included in the applicable segment information. Subsequently, in the
reconciliation to total revenues, total NOI, and total assets, the amounts are
eliminated, as the investment in partially-owned entities and joint ventures are
reflected in the consolidated financial statements as investments accounted for
under the equity method. Management evaluates the performance of its segments
and allocates resources to them based on net operating income (NOI). NOI
consists of revenues in excess of general operating expenses, salaries and
wages, repairs and maintenance, taxes, licenses, and insurance. Segment
information for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999 is as follows:

As of December 31, 2001, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit
providing for total borrowings of up to $300 million. This line of credit
agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus 115 basis points, is renewable in March
2003, and provides for a two-year amortization in the case of non-renewal. The
line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow CRLP
to convert up to $150 million under the line of credit to a fixed rate, for a
fixed term not to exceed 90 days. The credit facility is primarily used by CRLP
to finance property acquisitions and development and has an outstanding balance
at December 31, 2001, of $261.4 million. The interest rate of this short-term
borrowing facility, including the competitive bid balance, is 3.08% and 7.66% at
December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

During 2001 and 2000, CRLP completed six public offerings of unsecured
medium term debt securities totaling $80.0 million. The proceeds of the
offerings were used to fund acquisitions, development expenditures, repay
balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit facility, repay certain notes
and mortgages payable, and for general corporate purposes. Details relating to
these debt offerings are as follows:

Additionally during 2001, CRLP received proceeds of $39.0 million
related to the secured financing of two properties, which is collateralized by
the properties. At December 31, 2001, CRLP had $888.1 million in unsecured
indebtedness including balances outstanding on its bank line of credit and
certain other notes payable. The remainder of CRLP's notes and mortgages payable
are collateralized by the assignment of rents and leases of certain properties
and assets with an aggregate net book value of $354.9 million at December 31,
2001.

The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable, including
CRLP's line of credit at December 31, 2001, are as follows:

(in thousands)
2002 $ 60,447

==================

Based on borrowing rates available to CRLP for notes and mortgages
payable with similar terms, the estimated fair value of CRLP's notes and
mortgages payable at December 31, 2001 and 2000 was approximately $1.16 billion
and $1.15 billion, respectively.

Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain restrictive covenants, which,
among other things, require maintenance of various financial ratios. At December
31, 2001, CRLP was in compliance with those covenants.

Certain shareholders and trustees of the Company have guaranteed
indebtedness of CRLP totaling $0.5 million at December 31, 2001. The Company has
indemnified these individuals from their guarantees of this indebtedness.
Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed indebtedness of the Company totaling
$27.3 million at December 31, 2001. These individuals have not been indemnified
by the Company.








9. Derivative Instruments

On January 1, 2001, CRLP adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard (SFAS) No. 133, (subsequently amended by SFAS Nos. 137 and 138)
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133, as
amended, establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments. Specifically SFAS No. 133 requires an entity to recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and to measure those instruments at fair value. Additionally, the fair
value adjustments will affect either shareholders' equity or net income
depending on whether the derivative instrument qualifies as a hedge for
accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity.

As of January 1, 2001, the adoption of the new standard resulted in
derivative instruments reported on the balance sheet as liabilities of $0.9
million and a decrease of $0.9 million to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss,
which is a loss not affecting retained earnings in the Consolidated Statement of
Shareholders' Equity.

In the normal course of business, CRLP is exposed to the effect of
interest rate changes. CRLP limits these risks by following established risk
management policies and procedures including the use of derivatives. For
interest rate exposures, derivatives are used primarily to align rate movements
between interest rates associated with CRLP's leasing income and other financial
assets with interest rates on related debt, and manage the cost of borrowing
obligations.

CRLP does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Further, CRLP has a policy of only entering into contracts with major financial
institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in
conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are
designed to hedge, CRLP has not sustained a material loss from those instruments
nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or
financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.

CRLP has entered into several different hedging transactions in an
effort to manage exposure to changes in interest rates. The following table
summarizes the notional values, fair values and other characteristics of CRLP's
derivative financial instruments at December 31, 2001. The notional value at
December 31, 2001 provides an indication of the extent of CRLP's involvement in
these instruments at that time, but does not represent exposure to credit,
interest rate, or market risk.

8) Interest Rate CAP, Cash Flow $30.4 million 11.200% 6/30/03 1


On December 31, 2001, the derivative instruments were reported at their
fair value as Other Liabilities of $0.1 million. The offsetting adjustments are
represented as losses in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss of $0.1 million.
Year to date, CRLP has recorded a $15,000 loss in earnings due to some
ineffectiveness on one of their swaps, resulting from a timing difference
regarding rate reset dates.

On July 3, 2001, CRLP terminated a forward-starting swap that was
designated as hedging forecasted debt that did not occur. CRLP reclassified the
balance of $130,000 held in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to
the swap as a gain in earnings.

Most of CRLP's hedges are designated as cash flow hedges. Cash flow
hedges hedge the future cash flows of current or forecasted debt. Interest rate
swaps that convert variable payments to fixed payments, interest rate caps,
floors, collars, and forwards are cash flow hedges. The unrealized gains/losses
in the fair value of these hedges are reported on the balance sheet with a
corresponding adjustment to either accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)
or in earnings--depending on the type of hedging relationship. If the hedging
transaction is a cash flow hedge, then the offsetting gains and losses are
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If the hedging
transaction is characterized as a fair value hedge, then the changes in fair
value of the hedge and the hedged item are reflected in earnings. If the fair
value hedging relationship is fully effective, there is no net effect reflected
in income or accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and any offsets to
the hedging transaction is reflected in notes and mortgages payable. Over time,
the unrealized gains and losses held in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) will be reclassified to earnings. This reclassification is consistent
with when the hedged items are also recognized in earnings. Within the next
twelve months, CRLP expects to reclassify to earnings approximately $0.4 million
of the current balance held in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

CRLP hedges its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for
forecasted transactions over a maximum period of 12 months. During the
forecasted period, unrealized gains and losses in the hedging instrument will be
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Once the hedged
transaction takes place, the hedge gains and losses will be reported in earnings
during the same period in which the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

11. Capital Structure

At December 31, 2001, the Company controlled CRLP as the sole general
partner and as the holder of 65.3% of the common units of CRLP and 63.6% of the
preferred units (Series A Preferred Units and Series C Preferred Units). The
limited partners of CRLP who hold common units, are those persons (including
certain officers and directors) who, at the time of the Initial Public Offering,
elected to hold all or a portion of their interest in the form of units rather
than receiving shares of common stock of the Company, or individuals from whom
the Company acquired certain properties, who elected to receive units in
exchange for the properties. Each unit may be redeemed by the holder thereof for
either one share of Common Stock or cash equal to the fair market value thereof
at the time of such redemption, at the option of CRLP. Additionally, in 1999,
CRLP issued $100 million of Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred
Units (Series B Units) in a private placement, that are exchangeable for Series
B Preferred Shares of the Company after ten years at the option of the holders
of the Series B Units. (See Note 12)

The Board of Trustees of the Company manages CRLP by directing the
affairs of the Company. The Company's interests in CRLP entitle it to share in
cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, CRLP in proportion to
the Company's percentage interest therein and entitle the Company to vote on all
matters requiring a vote of the limited partners.






12. Cash Contributions

During June 2001, the Company issued 2,000,000 preferred units of
beneficial interest (Series C Preferred Units). The Series C Preferred Units pay
a quarterly dividend at 9.25% per annum and may be redeemed by the Company on or
after June 19, 2006. The Series C Preferred Units have no stated maturity,
sinking fund or mandatory redemption and are not convertible into any other
securities of the Company. The Series C Preferred Units have a liquidation
preference of $25.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering were
approximately $48.1 million and were used to repay outstanding balances under
CRLP's unsecured line of credit.

During January 2000, CRLP initiated and completed an Executive Unit
Purchase Program (Unit Purchase Program), in which the Board of Trustees and
certain members of CRLP's management were able to purchase 425,925 Units of
CRLP. Under the Unit Purchase Program, the Board of Trustees and the members of
management obtained full-recourse personal loans from an unrelated financial
institution, in order to purchase the Units. The Units are pledged as collateral
against the loans. In addition, CRLP has provided a guarantee to the unrelated
financial institution for the personal loans. The value of the Units purchased
under the Unit Purchase Program was approximately $10 million.

In February 1999, CRLP issued 2.0 million units of $50 par value 8.875%
Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Units (Preferred Units),
valued at $100 million in a private placement. CRLP has the right to redeem the
Preferred Units, in whole or in part, after five years at the cost of the
original capital contribution plus the cumulative priority return, whether or
not declared. The Preferred Units are exchangeable for 8.875% Series B Preferred
Units of CRLP after ten years at the option of the holders of the Preferred
Units. The proceeds of the issuance, net of offering costs of $2.6 million were
used to repay balances outstanding on CRLP's revolving credit agreement and to
fund development, acquisition, and expansion expenditures.

13. Employee Benefits

Employees of CRLP hired prior to January 1, 2002 participate in a
noncontributory defined benefit pension plan designed to cover substantially all
employees. Pension expense includes service and interest costs adjusted by
actual earnings on plan assets and amortization of prior service cost and the
transition amount. The benefits provided by this plan are based on years of
service and the employee's final average compensation. CRLP's policy is to fund
the minimum required contribution under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

The table below presents a summary of pension plan status as of
December 31, 2001 and 2000, as it relates to the employees of CRLP.



(amounts in thousands) 2001 2000

Fair value of assets at year end $ 4,063 $ 1,135
Accrued pension cost $ 2,077 $ 2,106
Net pension cost for the year $ 829 $ 625



Actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of
accumulated benefit obligations at January 1, 2001, are as follows:



2001 2000
--------------- --------------

Weighted-average interest rate 7.25% 7.50%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase in future compensation levels 4.00% 4.00%


CRLP participates in a salary reduction profit sharing plan covering
substantially all employees. This plan provides, with certain restrictions, that
employees may contribute a portion of their earnings with CRLP matching one-half
of such contributions, solely at CRLP's discretion. Contributions by CRLP were
approximately $321,000, $313,000, and $275,000 for the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

14. Leasing Operations

CRLP is in the business of leasing and managing multifamily, office,
and retail property. For properties owned by CRLP, minimum rentals due in future
periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 2001, are as follows:

(in thousands)
-----------------
2002 $ 148,893
2003 132,185
2004 115,684
2005 97,114
2006 78,202
Thereafter 271,880
-----------------
$ 843,958
=================

The noncancelable leases are with tenants engaged in retail and office
operations in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Performance in accordance with the lease terms
is in part dependent upon the economic conditions of the respective areas. No
additional credit risk exposure relating to the leasing arrangements exists
beyond the accounts receivable amounts shown in the December 31, 2001 balance
sheet. Leases with tenants in multifamily properties are generally for one year
or less and are thus excluded from the above table. Substantially all of CRLP's
land, buildings, and equipment represent property leased under the above and
other short-term leasing arrangements.

Rental income for 2001, 2000, and 1999 includes percentage rent of $3.6
million, $5.7 million, and $4.7 million, respectively. This rental income was
earned when certain retail tenants attained sales volumes specified in their
respective lease agreements.

15. Related Party Transactions

CRLP has generally used affiliated construction companies to manage and
oversee its development and expansion projects. CRLP paid $33.6 million, $46.7
million, and $62.8 million for property development costs to Lowder Construction
Company, Inc., a construction company owned by The Colonial Company (TCC) (an
affiliate of certain unitholders, and trustees), during the years ended December
31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Of these amounts, $30.7million, $43.2
million, and $55.4 million was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors for the
construction of these development and expansion projects during 2001, 2000 and
1999, respectively. CRLP had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $0.4 million and $1.4
million at December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. CRLP also paid $67.0
million, $31.3 million, and $21.5 million for property construction costs to a
construction company owned by a trustee during the years ended December 31,
2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Of these amounts, $60.3 million, $28.2
million, and $19.4 million was then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors for the
construction of these development projects during 2001, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. CRLP had outstanding construction invoices and retainage payable
to this construction company totaling $1.8 million and $0.2 million at December
31, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

During September 2000, CRLP purchased a parcel of land from Colonial
Commercial Investments, Inc. (CCI), which is owned by trustees James K. Lowder
and Thomas H. Lowder, through the issuance of 12,477 limited partnership valued
at approximately $0.3 million. Subsequently, in 2001, CRLP sold the parcel of
land to an unrelated party for approximately$0.4 million.

During July 1998, CRLP acquired a 79.8% interest in Colonial Village at
Haverhill. Effective May 1999, CRLP purchased the remaining 20.2% interest in
this property by issuing 157,140 units to the seller. The seller is a trustee of
the Company.

Following is a summary of property acquisitions from entities for which
trustees of the Company are involved as a partner or unitholder:



Date Property and Land Acquired Purchase Price Units Issued

September 2000 Colonial Promenade Montgomery Lot 1 $0.3 million 12,477 CRLP Units
May 1999 Colonial Village at Haverhill $4.2 million(1) 157,140 CRLP Units


(1) Represents the remaining 20.2% interest in the property.



In August 2001, CRLP purchased the 99% voting stock and 1% equity
interest in CPSI from CCI for approximately $4,000. Therefore, effective August
2001, CPSI is consolidated in CRLP's financial statements.

CRLP and its subsidiaries provide certain services to and received
certain services from related entities, which resulted in the following income
(expense) included in the accompanying statements of income:

partners of CRLP in the amount of $.66 per share and per partnership unit,
totaling $21.3 million. The distribution was made to partners of record as of
February 1, 2002, and was paid on February 8, 2002.

Equity Offering

On February 25, 2002, the Company entered into a transaction in which
560,380 shares of the Company's common shares were issued, resulting in net
proceeds of $17.8 million to the Company. It is anticipated that 260,710 shares
will be deposited by Salomon Smith Barney into The Equity Focus Trust REIT
Portfolio Series, 2002-A, a newly formed unit investment trust, and 299,670
shares will be deposited into Cohen & Steers Quality Income Realty Fund, Inc.
Subsequently, the Company transferred the net proceeds received to CRLP, which
were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on CRLP's unsecured line
of credit.

(1) All options granted in 2001 become exercisable in five equal annual
installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant
and have a term of ten years.

(2) The Black-Scholes option pricing model was chosen to estimate the
value of the options set forth in this table. The Company's use of
this model should not be construed as an endorsement of its accuracy
of valuing options. All option valuation models, including the
Black-Scholes model, require a prediction about the future movement of
the share price. The following assumptions were made for the purposes
of calculating the option value: an option term of 10 years,
volatility of 14.56%, dividend yield at 8.19%, and interest rate of
5.09%. The real value of the options to purchase common shares in this
table depends upon the actual performance of the Company's common
shares, the option holder's continued employment throughout the option
period, and the date on which the options are exercised.



The Company maintains a retirement plan for all of the employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries hired before January 1, 2002. An employee becomes
eligible to participate in the plan on January 1 or July 1 following the first
anniversary of the person's employment by the Company or one of its consolidated
or unconsolidated subsidiaries or age 21 if later. Benefits are based upon the
number of years of service (maximum 25 years) and the average of the
participant's earnings during the five highest years of compensation during the
final 10 years of employment. Each participant accrues a benefit at a specified
percentage of compensation up to the Social Security covered compensation level,
and at a higher percentage of compensation above the Social Security covered
compensation level. A participant receives credit for a year of service for
every year in which 1,000 hours are completed in the employment of the Company
or its predecessor or any of the Company's subsidiaries.

The following table reflects estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement under the retirement plan as a single life annuity commencing at age
65. These benefits ignore the lower benefit rate applicable to earnings below
the Social Security covered compensation level.

$170,000 or over $12,920 $25,840 $38,760 $51,680 $64,600


The benefits shown are limited by the current statutory limitations
which restrict the amount of benefits which can be paid from a qualified
retirement plan. The statutory limit on compensation which may be recognized in
calculating benefits is $170,000 in 2001. This limit is scheduled to increase
periodically with the cost of living.

Covered compensation under the plan includes the employees' base salary
and other earnings received from the Company. Thomas H. Lowder has 27 years of
covered service under the plan, Howard B. Nelson, Jr. has 17 years of service,
C. Reynolds Thompson, III has 5 years of service, Robert A. Jackson has 4 years
of service, and Paul F. Earle has 10 years of service.

Company, entered into an employment agreement with the Company in September
1993. This agreement provides for an initial term of three years, with automatic

non-renewal at least six months prior to the next scheduled expiration date. The
agreement provides for annual compensation of at least $275,000 and incentive
compensation on substantially the same terms as set forth in the description of
