Formation of the Company

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 others in a diversified portfolio of
multifamily, retail, and office 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 the net proceeds
from the IPO through Colonial Properties Holding Company, Inc. ("CPHC"), which
was dissolved in 1998, 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 $250.0
million, to fund development activities and property acquisitions and for
general corporate purposes (collectively, the "Formation Transactions"). On
October 28, 1993, the underwriters of the IPO exercised an over-allotment option
to purchase an additional 686,200 shares.


Recent Developments

Since the Company's IPO, CRLP has significantly expanded its
portfolio of Properties and its operating businesses. Acquisitions by CRLP of
new properties represent a total investment of over $1.3 billion. CRLP has also
completed the expansion of eleven multifamily properties since the IPO, adding a
total of 2,348 units to its multifamily portfolio. CRLP currently has 12 active
expansion and development projects in progress for Multifamily Properties, one
Retail Property development, and two Office Property developments . CRLP has
also disposed of six Multifamily Properties representing 2,464 apartment units,
one Office Property representing 25,000 square feet of office space, and entered
into two joint ventures.

The following is a summary of CRLP's acquisition, disposition, joint
venture, and development activity in 1998.

CRLP acquired four Multifamily Properties, including one in Florida,
one in Georgia, one in Texas and one in South Carolina containing 1,026 units
for a total purchase price of $48.2 million.

a joint venture to acquire Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama for $11.4

redevelop the mall, with all related costs being shared equally by both venture
partners. At December 31, 1998, CRLP had invested approximately $5.7 million in
the joint venture and had an ending net investment balance of $5.9 million.

On December 29, 1998, CRLP and Prudential Real Estate Investors

entered into a joint venture to own Orlando Fashion Square. In connection with
the formation of the joint venture, Prudential acquired a 50% interest in
Orlando Fashion Square from CRLP for $52 million. Subsequent to formation, the
joint venture leveraged the property with a $65 million non-recourse note and
the proceeds from the issuance of the note were distributed equally to the joint
venture partners. CRLP's investment in the joint venture at December 31, 1998
was $20.2 million. CRLP used the proceeds from the Prudential joint venture to
fund acquisition and development activities.

multifamily development activity was $90.4 million. As of December 31, 1998,
CRLP had 2,426 apartment units in 12 multifamily communities under development
or expansion. Management anticipates that the 12 multifamily projects will be
completed during 1999 through 2001. Management expects to invest an additional
$115 million over this period to complete these multifamily projects.

1999.

Colonial Center at Research Park--Also in August 1998, CRLP began
development of two office buildings in Huntsville, Alabama with a total of
133,368 square feet of leasable area. Colonial Center features Class A office
space with first-class amenities. Project development costs are expected to
total $13.0 million and will be funded through advances on CRLP's unsecured
line of credit. CRLP expects to complete construction in the fourth quarter of
1999.

Financing Activity

CRLP funded a large portion of its acquisitions and developments
through the issuance of debt securities and through cash contributions from the
Company through the issuance of its common shares. During 1998, the Company and
CRLP completed the following equity and debt transactions:

On July 10, 1998, CRLP increased the borrowing capacity under its unsecured line
of credit from $200 million to $250 million. The credit facility, which is used
by CRLP primarily to finance additional property investments, bears interest at
a rate ranging between 80 and 135 basis points above LIBOR and is renewable in
July 2000. The line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that
will allow CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to a
fixed rate, for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 1998, the
balance outstanding on CRLP's line of credit was $174.5 million.


Business Strategy

The general business strategy of the Company and CRLP is to generate
stable and increasing cash flow and portfolio value for its shareholders. The
Company and CRLP (and its predecessor) have implemented this strategy
principally by (i) realizing growth in income from its existing portfolio of
properties, (ii) developing, expanding, and selectively acquiring additional
multifamily, retail, and office properties in growth markets located in the
Sunbelt region of the United States, where CRLP has first-hand knowledge of
growth patterns and local economic conditions, (iii) managing its own
properties, which has enabled it to better control operating expenses and
establish long-term relationships with its retail and office tenants, (iv)
maintaining the Company's third-party property management business, which has
increased cash flow and established additional relationships with tenants, and
(v) 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 CRLP's partners and may be changed from time to
time.

Financing Strategy

CRLP's strategy is to maintain coverage ratios in order to sustain
its investment grade status. CRLP's total market capitalization as of December
31, 1998, was $2.0 billion, and its ratio of debt to total market capitalization
was 45.1%. At December 31, 1998, CRLP's total debt included fixed-rate debt of
$681.2 million, or 74.9% of total debt, and floating-rate debt of $228.1
million, or 25.1% of total debt. CRLP has obtained interest rate protection for
$50.0 million of the floating-rate debt.

CRLP may from time to time reevaluate its borrowing policies in light
of then current economic conditions, relative costs of debt and equity capital,
market values of properties, growth and acquisition opportunities, and other
factors. CRLP may modify its borrowing policy and may increase or decrease its
ratio of debt to total market capitalization. To the extent that the board of
trustees of CRLP determines to seek additional capital, CRLP may raise such
capital through additional equity offerings by the Company, debt financings, or
retention of cash flow (subject to provisions in the Code 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,
retail, and office 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. This also
allows CRLP to establish additional relationships with tenants who may require
additional retail or office space and to identify potential acquisitions.


Operational Structure

Multifamily Division--The multifamily division of CRLP is responsible
for all aspects of CRLP's 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
CRLP does not have an ownership interest. The multifamily division utilizes
centralized functions of accounting, information technology, due diligence and
administrative services. Decisions for investments in acquisitions and
developments and for dispositions are also centralized. The multifamily division
has regional offices in Birmingham, Mobile and Montgomery, Alabama, Orlando and
Tampa, Florida, and Stockbridge, Georgia.

Retail Division--CRLP's retail division is responsible for all
aspects of CRLP's retail operations, including the provision of management and
leasing services for the 40 Retail Properties, as well as the provision of
third-party management services for retail properties in which CRLP does not
have an ownership interest and for brokerage services in other retail property
transactions. The retail division utilizes centralized functions of accounting,
information technology, due diligence and administrative services. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized. The retail division has regional offices in Birmingham, Alabama,
Orlando, Florida, Macon, Georgia and Burlington, North Carolina.

Office Division--CRLP's office division is responsible for all
aspects of CRLP's 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 CRLP
does not have an ownership interest and for brokerage services in other office
property transactions. The office division utilizes centralized functions of
accounting, information technology, due diligence and administrative services.
Decisions for investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions
are also centralized. The office division has regional offices in Birmingham,
Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia.


Employees

CRLP employs approximately 900 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 Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (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 95% 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 performance and property value are subject to risks associated
with the real estate industry. If our assets do not generate income sufficient
to pay our expenses, service our debt and maintain our properties, we may not be
able to make expected distributions to our unitholders. Whether our properties
will generate sufficient revenue to pay our expenses and permit us to make
distributions to our unitholders will depend on whether we can attract tenants
at favorable rental rates and whether we can adequately control our costs.
Factors that may adversely affect our ability to attract tenants or to generate
sufficient revenue include:

o local conditions such as an oversupply of multifamily, retail
or office properties or a reduction in demand for
multifamily, retail or office properties;
o the attractiveness of our properties to residents, shoppers and
tenants; decreases in market rental rates; and
o our ability to collect rent from our tenants.

Factors that may adversely affect our operating costs include:

o the need to pay for adequate insurance and other operating costs,
including real estate taxes, which could increase over time; and
o the need to periodically repair, renovate and relet space.

Our expenses may remain constant even if our revenues drop. The
expenses of owning and operating a property are 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 simply because our revenues drop. 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.
When 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
promptly renew the leases or relet the space, or if the rental rates upon such
renewal or reletting are significantly lower than expected rates, then our cash
flow and ability to service debt and make distributions to shareholders would be
adversely affected.

New acquisitions 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
strategic opportunities consistent with our strategy. 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. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources."

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 subject us to risks. 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 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 and 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 prior to 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
debt and make distributions to our unitholders.

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 and make distributions to unitholders.

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 indebtedness, 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 indebtedness is issued
contains financial and operating covenants including coverage ratios. Our
indenture also limits our ability to (1) incur secured and unsecured
indebtedness, (2) sell all or substantially all or our assets and (3) 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 plus the market value of our
outstanding units and the outstanding shares of beneficial interest of Colonial
Properties Trust, was approximately 45.1% as of December 31, 1998. Increases in
our leverage could adversely affect our ability to obtain additional financing
in the future for (1) working capital, (2) capital expenditures, (3)
acquisitions, (4) development or (4) 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 variable rate ranging between 80
and 135 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 and make distributions to unitholders.

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 that 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 make distributions to our unitholders.

At one of our properties, the Gadsden Mall in Gadsden, Alabama, four
underground storage tanks were removed in 1989. In connection with the removal
of these gasoline storage tanks, associated petroleum contamination was
discovered in the soil and groundwater. We are currently working with the state
regulatory agency to remediate the contamination in accordance with applicable
requirements. Because the tanks were registered with the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management and the facility was in compliance with regulations
prior to the incident, we have been reimbursed under the Alabama Underground
Storage Tank Trust Fund for the costs incurred to date in connection with the
ongoing cleanup, and expect to be reimbursed for the remaining costs as well. We
have received a "no further action" letter from the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management.

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. Pursuant to 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 of our general partner's trustees and officers have conflicts of
interest and could exercise influence in a manner inconsistent with unitholders'
best interests. As a result of their substantial ownership of Colonial
Properties Trust's common shares and our units, Messrs. Thomas Lowder, Colonial
Properties Trust's Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and President,
and James Lowder, Harold Ripps, Herbert Meisler and William Johnson, each of
whom is a trustee of Colonial Properties Trust, 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 which are not in the best
interest of all of our unitholders.

The Lowder family, which includes Thomas, James, Robert and Catherine
Lowder 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 us that are not realized by other unitholders. In
addition, Thomas Lowder and his brother, James Lowder, as trustees of Colonial
Properties Trust, may be in a position to influence us 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 do not control our management, leasing and brokerage businesses.
To facilitate maintenance of Colonial Properties Trust's REIT qualification, we
have a "non-controlled subsidiary" which conducts management, leasing and
brokerage business for properties we do not wholly own. While we own 99% of the
economic interest in the noncontrolled subsidiary, 99% of its voting stock is
owned by members of the Lowder family. We therefore do not control the timing or
amount of distributions or the management and operation of the noncontrolled
subsidiary. We also lack the ability to set the business policies and operations
of the noncontrolled subsidiary.

We are subject to risks associated with the property management,
leasing and brokerage businesses. In addition to the risks we face as a result
of our ownership of real estate, we face risks relating to the property
management, leasing and brokerage businesses of our "non-controlled subsidiary,"
including risks that:

o management contracts or service agreements with third-party owners will be
lost to competitors;
o contracts will not be renewed upon expiration or will not
be renewed on terms consistent with current terms; and
o leasing and brokerage activity generally may decline.

Each of these developments could adversely affect our ability to make
debt service payments or expected distributions to unitholders.

We are dependent on external sources of capital. To qualify as a
REIT, Colonial Properties Trust must distribute to its shareholders each year at
least 95% of its net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. Our
partnership agreement generally requires us to distribute substantially all of
our net cash revenues each quarter and to make reasonable efforts to distribute
to Colonial Properties Trust enough cash for it to meet the 95% distribution
requirement. 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, and additional
debt financing may substantially increase our leverage.

We intend to qualify as a partnership, but cannot guarantee that we
will qualify. We intend to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax
purposes. However, we will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes if we are a "publicly traded partnership," unless at least 90% of our
income it qualifying income as defined in the tax code. The income requirements
applicable to REITs and the definition of qualifying income for purposes of this
90% test are similar in most, but not all, respects. Qualifying income for the
90% test generally includes passive income, such as specified types of real
property rents, dividends and interest. We cannot guarantee that we will meet
this qualifying income test. If we were to be taxed as a corporation, we would
incur substantial tax liabilities, Colonial Properties Trust would fail to
qualify as a REIT for tax purposes and Colonial Properties Trust's and our
ability to raise additional capital could be impaired.

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
its 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 its 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
as a REIT. Many of the REIT requirements are highly technical and complex. The
determination that Colonial Properties Trust 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 our gross income
must come from certain sources that are itemized in the REIT tax laws. Colonial
Properties Trust also is required to distribute to shareholders at least 95% of
its REIT taxable income, excluding capital gains. The fact that Colonial
Properties Trust holds its assets through Colonial Realty further complicates
the application of the REIT requirements. Even a technical or inadvertent
mistake could jeopardize Colonial Properties Trust's REIT status. Furthermore,
Congress and the IRS might make changes to the tax laws and regulations, and the
courts might issue new rulings that make it more difficult, or impossible, for
Colonial Properties Trust 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, Colonial
Properties Trust would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate
rates. Also, unless the IRS granted us relief under certain statutory
provisions, Colonial Properties Trust would remain disqualified as a REIT for
the four years following the year Colonial Properties Trust first failed to
qualify. If Colonial Properties Trust 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 our securities. In addition, Colonial
Properties Trust would no longer be required to make any distributions to
shareholders, but we would still be required to distribute quarterly
substantially all of our net cash revenues to our unitholders.

Proposed legislation, if enacted, could require us to restructure our
ownership of Colonial Properties Services, Inc. The Clinton Administration's
fiscal year 2000 budget proposal could require us to restructure our ownership
of Colonial Properties Services, Inc. The budget proposal, announced February 1,
1999, includes a proposal that would prohibit a REIT from owning more than 10%
of the vote or value of the outstanding securities of any corporation, except
for a qualified REIT subsidiary or another REIT. Currently, a REIT cannot own
more than 10% of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. A REIT can,
however, own more than 10% of the value of the stock of a corporation, so long
as not more than 25% of the REIT's total assets are comprised stock of
corporations, except for qualified REIT subsidiaries or other REIT's, and the
stock of any single corporation does not account for more than 5% of the value
of the REIT's total assets. The proposal also contains an exception to the 5%
and 10% asset tests that would allow a REIT to have "taxable REIT subsidiaries,"
including both "qualified independent contractor subsidiaries," which could
perform noncustomary and other currently prohibited services for tenants and
other customers, and "qualified business subsidiaries," which could undertake
third-party management and development activities as well as other non-related
real estate activities. Under the proposal, no more than 15% of a REIT's total
assets could consist of taxable REIT subsidiaries and no more than 5% of a
REIT's total assets could consist of qualified independent contractor
subsidiaries. Under the budget proposal, a taxable REIT subsidiary would not be
entitled to deduct any interest on debt funded directly or indirectly by the
REIT. This proposal would be effective after the date of enactment and a REIT
would be allowed to combine and convert existing corporate subsidiaries into
taxable REIT subsidiaries tax-free prior to a certain date. A transition period
would allow for conversion of existing corporate subsidiaries before the 10%
vote or value test would become effective. For Colonial Properties Trust's
taxable years after the effective date of the proposal and after any applicable
transition period, the 10% vote or value test would apply to Colonial Properties
Trust's ownership in Colonial Properties Services, Inc. unless Colonial
Properties Services, Inc. is converted into a taxable REIT subsidiary. It is
presently uncertain whether any proposal regarding REIT subsidiaries, including
the budget proposal, will be enacted or, if enacted, what the terms, including
the effective date, of such proposal will be.

Our operations could be adversely affected by the year 2000 problem.
Our revenues may be adversely affected if the year 2000 problem poses
significant problems for any of our tenants which prevent them from paying us
rent as it comes due. The year 2000 problem could also adversely affect us
should any of our lenders, manufacturers, vendors or suppliers cease to conduct
business, as we would be forced to contract with alternate providers at rates
which might not be favorable to us. Moreover, our plans do not address a
"doomsday" scenario which would require a contingency process for restoration of
our existing systems and components in the event of a complete failure due to
the year 2000 problem.

Undeveloped Land

CRLP owns five undeveloped land parcels consisting of approximately
144.7 acres (collectively, the "Land"). These parcels are adjacent to three of
the Properties and are suitable for potential expansion at those Properties. The
Land suitable for expansion is located adjacent to a Multifamily Property and
two Retail Properties. 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. CRLP currently owns one such parcel. For expansions at Retail
Properties, CRLP owns parcels both contiguous to the boundaries of Retail
Properties, which would accommodate expansion of the mall or shopping center,
and outparcels which are suitable for restaurants, financial institutions or
free standing retailers. CRLP owns three such parcels.

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, retail, and office
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, 1998, of approximately $909.3 million
carrying a weighted average interest rate of 7.07% and a weighted average
maturity of 6.6 years. The mortgage indebtedness on the Properties as of
December 31, 1998, 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) All of the mortgages can be prepaid at any time, subject to prepayment
penalties calculated typically on a percentage basis, except for the
mortgages encumbering CV at Rocky Ridge, CV at Inverness Lakes, and CV at
Hillwood, which are closed to prepayment for varying lengths of time.
(3) 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, 2007.
(4) These loans are financed through tax-exempt bonds which are credit
enhanced by Fannie Mae. The loans, which bear interest at a weekly
variable interest rate, require monthly interest payments through June
2006 and principal and interest payments from July 2006 through June 2026.
The weighted average interest rate of these three was 4.51% at December
31, 1998. On February 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap
for these bonds at a rate of 3.23%
(5) 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.
(6) 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, 2010.
(7) This line of credit facility bears interest at a variable rate, based on
LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 80 to 135 basis points. At December
31, 1998, line of credit facility bore interest at a rate of 95 basis
points above LIBOR. The facility also includes a competitive bid feature
that allows CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to
a fixed rate, for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. At December 31,
1998, $65 million was outstanding under a competitive bid loan which bore
interest at a weighted average rate of 6.29%.
(8) This credit facility has a term of two years beginning in July 1998 and
provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.

In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the two Office Properties
and one Retail Property 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, 1998, was $33,512,000 which carried a weighted
average interest rate of 6.9%. The maturity dates of these loans range from May
31, 1999 to January 15, 2006 and as of December 31, 1998, the loans had a
weighted average maturity of 6.6 years.

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 unit holders during the fourth
quarter of 1998.


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 10, 1999, there were 76 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

Colonial Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership is the
operating partnership of Colonial Properties Trust, an Alabama real estate
investment trust (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, retail malls and shopping centers, and
office buildings. The Company owns and operates properties in nine states in the
Sunbelt region of the United States. As of December 31, 1998, CRLP's real estate
portfolio consisted of 49 multifamily communities, 40 retail properties, and 17
office properties.

CRLP manages its business with three separate and distinct operating divisions:
Multifamily, Retail, and Office. 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 CRLP to utilize specialized management personnel
for each operating division. Constant communication among the Executive Vice
Presidents and centralized functions of accounting, information technology, due
diligence and administrative services provide CRLP with unique synergy allowing
CRLP to take advantage of a variety of investment opportunities. Decisions for
investments in acquisitions and developments and for dispositions are also
centralized.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements appearing
elsewhere in this report.

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 - 1998 vs. 1997

In 1998, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net income
which primarily resulted from the acquisition and development of 40 properties
and the expansion of 13 properties during 1998 and 1997. As a result of the
acquisitions, developments, and expansions CRLP's net income before dividends to
preferred unitholders increased by $22.0 million, or 47.7%, for 1998 when
compared to 1997. On a per unit basis, net income was $1.64 for 1998, a 5.2%
increase, compared to $1.55 for 1997.

Revenues - Total revenues increased by $73.2 million, or 39.8%, during 1998 when
compared to 1997. Of this increase, $61.7 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired or developed during 1998 and 1997, net of
revenues of properties disposed of in 1997. The retail division accounted for
the majority of the overall revenue increase, approximately $46.4 million, while
the office and multifamily divisions accounted for $18.2 million and $9.0
million, respectively. The divisional revenue growth was primarily attributable
to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 21 retail properties, 22
multifamily properties, and 10 office properties during 1998 and 1997. The
remaining increase relates to increases in rental rates at existing properties
and lease buyouts during 1998.

Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $39.8 million, or
41.1%, during 1998 when compared to 1997. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $20.3 million and additional
depreciation of $13.4 million associated with properties that were acquired,
developed, or expanded during 1998 and 1997, net of operating expenses of
properties disposed of during 1997. Depreciation expense on existing properties
increased by $1.5 million during 1998 when compared to 1997. Divisional property
operating expenses increased by $14.8 million, $2.8 million, and $5.5 million
for retail, multifamily, and office divisions, respectively, during 1998 when
compared to 1997. The increase in divisional property operating expenses was
primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 21
retail properties, 22 multifamily properties, and 10 office properties during
1998 and 1997. The remaining increase primarily relates to increases in
operating expenses at existing properties, and overall increases in corporate
overhead and personnel costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses - Interest expense increased by $14.7 million, or
39.3%, during 1998 when compared to 1997. The increase in interest expense is
primarily attributable to the assumption of $5.7 million of debt, the issuance
of $175 million in Senior Unsecured Notes, and the net increased usage of CRLP's
Line of Credit in conjunction with the financing of acquisitions and
developments.

Results of Operations - 1997 vs. 1996

In 1997, CRLP experienced growth in revenues, operating expenses, and net income
which resulted from the acquisition and development of 38 properties and the
expansion of 7 properties during 1997 and 1996. As a result of the acquisitions
and developments, CRLP's net income before dividends to preferred unitholders
increased by $5.0 million, or 18.0%, for 1997 when compared to 1996. On a per
unit basis, net income was $1.55 for 1997, a 1.9% decrease, compared to $1.58
for 1996. The decrease in net income available to common shareholders, on a per
share basis, is directly attributable to the extraordinary loss from early
extinguishment of debt and the dividends paid to the preferred shareholders in
1997.

Revenues - Total revenues increased by $49.2 million, or 36.5%, during 1997 when
compared to 1996. Of this increase, $43.4 million relates to revenues generated
by properties that were acquired or developed during 1997 and 1996. The
remaining increase primarily relates to increases in rental rates at existing
properties. The retail division accounted for the majority of the overall
revenue increase, approximately $25.4 million, while the multifamily and office
divisions accounted for $14.6 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The
divisional revenue growth was primarily attributable to the acquisition,
development, and expansion of 20 retail properties, 19 multifamily properties,
and 6 office properties during 1997 and 1996.

Operating Expenses - Total operating expenses increased by $26.5 million, or
37.7%, during 1997 when compared to 1996. The majority of this increase relates
to additional property operating expenses of $13.3 million and additional
depreciation of $8.2 million associated with properties that were acquired or
developed during 1997 and 1996. Depreciation expense on existing properties
increased by $1.8 million during 1997 when compared to 1996. Divisional property
operating expenses increased by $7.4 million, $2.1 million, and $4.9 million for
retail, multifamily, and office divisions, respectively, during 1997 when
compared to 1996. The increase in divisional property operating expenses was
primarily attributable to the acquisition, development, and expansion of 20
retail properties, 19 multifamily properties, and 6 office properties during
1997 and 1996. The remaining change primarily relates to the resolution of prior
year reserves for certain tax contingencies, increases in operating expenses at
existing properties, and overall increases in corporate overhead and personnel
costs associated with CRLP's continued growth.

Other Income and Expenses - Interest expense increased by $15.9 million, or
64.7%, during 1997 when compared to 1996. The increase in interest expense is
primarily attributable to the assumption of $75 million of debt, the issuance of
$175 million in Medium-Term Notes, and the increased usage of CRLP's Line of
Credit in conjunction with the financing of acquisitions and developments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During 1998, CRLP invested $358.1 million, net of disposition, in the
acquisition and development of properties. This acquisition and development
activity increased CRLP's multifamily, retail, and office property holdings.
CRLP financed the growth through proceeds from public offerings of equity and
debt totaling $315 million during 1998, advances on its bank line of credit, the
issuance of limited partnership units in CRLP, the proceeds from joint ventures,
and cash from operations. CRLP also used these sources of funds to repay $29.5
million on five mortgage loans.

Acquisition and Development Activities

Multifamily Properties - During 1998, CRLP added 1,026 apartment units through
the acquisition of four multifamily communities at an aggregate cost of $48.2
million. CRLP also completed development of 596 apartment units in seven
multifamily communities during 1998 and acquired land on which it intends to
develop additional multifamily communities during 1999. The aggregate investment
in the multifamily developments during 1998 was $90.4 million.

As of December 31, 1998, CRLP has 2,426 apartment units in 12 multifamily
communities under development or expansion. Management anticipates that the 12
multifamily projects will be completed during 1999 through 2001. Management
estimates that it will invest an additional $115 million to complete these
multifamily communities.

Retail Properties - During 1998, CRLP added 2.9 million square feet of retail
shopping space (including 1.5 million square feet in two joint ventures) through
the acquisition of a community shopping center, an enclosed mall and investment
in two joint ventures at a net cost of $117.5 million. In addition, CRLP began
the development of a community shopping center in Birmingham, Alabama. The
aggregate investment in the retail development during 1998 was $8.8 million.
Management anticipates that it will invest an additional $25.7 million to
complete the retail development.

Office Properties - During 1998, CRLP increased its office portfolio by 827,000
square feet with the acquisition of five office properties at an aggregate cost
of $87.9 million. In addition, CRLP began development on two office properties.
The aggregate investment in the office developments during 1998 was $5.3
million. Management estimates that it will invest an additional $24.3 million to
complete these properties.

Joint Ventures

During the fourth quarter of 1998, CRLP entered into two joint ventures. On
December 9, 1998, CRLP and CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. formed a joint
venture to acquire Parkway City Mall in Huntsville, Alabama for $11.4 million.
In addition to the purchase of the property, the joint venture will redevelop
the mall, with all related costs being shared equally by both venture partners.
At December 31, 1998, CRLP had invested approximately $5.7 million in the joint
venture and had an ending net investment balance of $5.9 million. On December
29, 1998, CRLP and Prudential Real Estate Investors, through its Property
Investment Separate Account Fund (Prudential), entered into a joint venture to
own Orlando Fashion Square. In connection with the formation of the joint
venture, Prudential acquired a 50% interest in Orlando Fashion Square from CRLP
for $52 million which approximated both book value and fair value of the
recently acquired property. Subsequent to formation, the joint venture leveraged
the property with a $65 million nonrecourse note and the proceeds from the
issuance of the note were distributed equally to the joint venture partners.
CRLP's investment in the joint venture at December 31, 1998 was $20.2 million.
CRLP used the proceeds from the Prudential joint venture to fund acquisition and
development activities. Both joint ventures have been accounted for using the
equity method.

Financing Activities

CRLP funded a large portion of its acquisitions and developments through the
issuance of debt securities and through cash contributions from the Company
through the issuance of its common and preferred shares. During 1998, the
Company and CRLP completed the following equity and debt transactions:

On July 10, 1998, CRLP increased the borrowing capacity under its unsecured line
of credit from $200 million to $250 million. The credit facility, which is used
by CRLP primarily to finance additional property investments, bears interest at
a rate ranging between 80 and 135 basis points above LIBOR and is renewable in
July 2000. The line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that
will allow CRLP to convert up to $125 million under the line of credit to a
fixed rate, for a fixed term not to exceed 90 days. As of December 31, 1998, the
balance outstanding on CRLP's line of credit was $174.5 million.

At December 31, 1998, CRLP's total outstanding debt balance was $909.3 million.
The outstanding balance includes fixed-rate debt of $681.2 million, or 74.9%,
and floating-rate debt of $228.1 million, or 25.1%. CRLP has obtained interest
rate protection for $50.0 million of the floating-rate debt. The cap agreement
limits the debt to an interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. CRLP's total
market capitalization as of December 31, 1998 was $2.0 billion and its ratio of
debt to total market capitalization was 45.1%. Certain loan agreements of CRLP
contain restrictive covenants which, among other things, require maintenance of
various financial ratios. At December 31, 1998, CRLP was in compliance with
these covenants.

CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative financial instruments and does
not use them for trading 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. Treasury lock agreements are used by CRLP to lock
in interest rates in connection with public debt offerings. CRLP has entered
into an interest rate cap agreement which limits debt of $50 million to an
interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. Subsequent to year-end, CRLP entered
into two interest rate swap agreements. On January 4, 1999, CRLP entered into an
interest rate swap for $50 million of its line of credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135
basis points and on January 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap
for $52 million of tax exempt bonds at a rate of 3.23%. Both of these interest
rate swap agreements have one-year terms and any payments made or received under
the agreements are recognized as adjustments to interest expense as incurred.
CRLP 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. CRLP does not obtain collateral or other security to
support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors the credit
standing of counterparties.

OUTLOOK

Management intends to maintain CRLP's strength through continued
diversification, while pursuing acquisitions and developments that meet the
Company'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 and development 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 of CRLP
in exchange for properties, will provide CRLP with the means to finance
additional acquisitions and development.

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. The Company continues to work
diligently to improve its credit rating, in order to reduce its cost of raising
future capital. 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 shareholders in
accordance with Internal Revenue Code requirements applicable to real estate
investment trusts.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

Overview of Y2K Problem

The Year 2000 or "Y2K" problem refers to the inability of many existing computer
programs having time-sensitive software to recognize a date using "00" as the
year 2000. Instead, the computer programs interpret such data as the year 1900.
This failure to accurately recognize the year 2000 and other key dates could
result in a variety of problems ranging from data miscalculations to the failure
of entire systems. In an attempt to eliminate or minimize this potential risk,
CRLP has initiated an effort to identify, understand, and address the myriad of
issues associated with the Y2K problem. CRLP has identified two main areas where
potential Y2K problems exist: (a) Property Management Systems and; (b)
Information Systems.

Phase One - Assessing CRLP's Y2K Readiness

As a result of potential risks posed by Y2K problems on CRLP's operations, in
the early months of 1998, CRLP formed a Year 2000 Committee to oversee, manage,
and implement a Year 2000 Compliance Program (the "Program"). The Committee is
comprised of representatives from senior management and various departments and
advisors at the home and regional offices, including the telecommunications,
information systems, and office services departments. Because of the
wide-ranging implications of the Y2K problem, management decided to carry out
the Program in multiple phases over the remainder of 1998 and 1999. Many of the
phases of the Program are being carried out simultaneously.

The initial step in assessing CRLP's Y2K readiness consisted of identifying
systems that are date sensitive and, accordingly, could pose potential Y2K
problems. The process included an examination of information technology and
non-information technology systems at CRLP's home and regional offices and at
CRLP's properties. The initial step of identifying systems has been completed by
CRLP's information services department and building services department through
a combination of physical inspections and informational interviews with Company
employees.

Having identified systems that could have a potential Y2K problem, CRLP is
attempting to determine which of the systems actually have a Y2K problem. Much
of the required information is within the exclusive control of CRLP's vendors
and manufacturers, who are being contacted through standard form letters and
telephone calls requesting such information. In the case of property management
systems, a database was compiled for the types of equipment, names of
manufacturers and model numbers. The following is a summary of the Phase One
results obtained to date.

Property Management Systems

CRLP has identified six categories of property management systems in which it
has the most exposure to potential Y2K problems. These categories include:

o Building automation (e.g., energy management, HVAC) o Security card access o
Fire and life safety o Elevator o Garage revenue control o Office equipment

In April 1998, CRLP began gathering data from vendors to catalog the equipment
in all of its buildings. To date, approximately 75% of the information requested
has been received. CRLP does not expect to receive 100% of the information
requested due to a number of nonresponsive vendors or unavailable information.

All of the responses have confirmed that their systems would not be affected in
an adverse way due to the Y2K date change. The Y2K steering committee is in the
process of evaluating if any of these property management systems are mission
critical in nature and would have a negative impact on CRLP's ability to conduct
business if a failure occurs. At this time CRLP does not believe these systems
are mission critical. Regardless, efforts continue to obtain additional evidence
from vendors concerning these systems such as processes followed, test scripts,
and actual findings. Once received, CRLP will further evaluate these systems and
will determine if it will be necessary to confirm the information received from
the vendors. Due to the positive responses received CRLP does not feel that this
will be necessary.

Information Systems

Information systems fall into four general categories: Accounting and property
management; network operating systems; desktop software; and secondary systems.

Accounting and Property Management - The general ledger and property management
software systems are not currently compliant. However, new versions have been
written and are stated to be Y2K compliant by the supplying vendor. CRLP is
currently in the process of testing the new versions and the expected schedule
for confirming compliance is as follows:

o System testing - First Quarter 1999 o Test software upgrades - First and
Second Quarter 1999 o Begin installation of upgrades - Second Quarter 1999 o
Full Y2K Compliance - Second and Third Quarter 1999

New versions of the general ledger software system were written and delivered to
CRLP during the first quarter of 1999. CRLP found the new versions would not run
in the current environment. The vendor continues to develop the software systems
and has represented to CRLP that it expects to deliver Y2K compliant systems
during the early part of the third quarter. Upon receipt, CRLP will test the
systems and the software upgrades and, assuming that the systems and upgrades
are operational, will install the systems in the third and fourth quarters with
a goal of becoming fully compliant during the early part of the fourth quarter.
While the vendor is revising the systems, CRLP intends to pursue test
alternative software systems offered by other vendors. If CRLP finds an
acceptable alternative software system that is Y2K compliant, it may implement
that system instead of the system being revised by CRLP's current vendor. If
CRLP were to implement an alternative system, CRLP may be able to achieve full
Y2K compliance as early as the third quarter.

Network Operating Systems - Management believes that the network operating
servers are currently Y2K compliant subject to certain possible exceptions.
Microsoft Corporation recently announced that Windows NT 4.0, which CRLP uses,
is not Y2K compliant with service pak level III. However, Microsoft has stated
that service pak level IV will need to be loaded to become completely Y2K
compliant. Upgrades of Company network operating systems are expected to be
installed in the first and second quarters of 1999, bringing the network
operating servers into full compliance. Management believes that testing of this
new software will not be necessary, as it has already been proven in the
industry to be Y2K compliant.

Desktop Software - Management has reviewed all desktop systems and software
applications, identified those that are not in compliance and compiled a list of
necessary upgrades. Those upgrades have been completed for 95% of the current
systems and are now Y2K compliant. The remaining upgrades for 5% of the systems
are anticipated to be completed by the end of the first quarter. As part of the
continuing efforts to be Y2K compliant, every new system is tested upon
installation.

The status of desktop compliance is as follows:

o Systems (hardware and software) testing - Complete
o Installation of updated software that also provides Y2K compliance - November
1998 o Complete installation/full compliance - First Quarter 1999

Secondary Information Systems - "Secondary" information systems include, but are
not limited to: payroll; fixed-asset system; and forecasting modeling software,
which provide projections on property returns and other items. Letters have been
received confirming Y2K compliance from the vendors of CRLP's secondary systems.
The number of computers related to these secondary systems are nominal and
testing is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 1999.

Telecommunications Systems - In general, management believes that the internal
telephone systems are not date sensitive and should not be materially affected
by Y2K problems. A letter has been received from the telephone system vendor
confirming Y2K readiness of the voice mail system, telephone system and
telephone hardware. Testing will be completed by the end of the second quarter
of 1999.


Phase Two - Determining the Cost of Achieving Y2K Readiness and Implementing the
Y2K Action Plan

During the last two years, costs for new technology to ensure Y2K readiness,
including computers, telephone systems, and software, has been approximately $1
million and an additional $400,000 is estimated to be spent on property
management software upgrades and testing from a third-party consultant on
current secondary systems. However, the costs of the project and the completion
date are based on management's best estimates, which are based on numerous
assumptions of future events.

Phase Three - Assessing the Risks to CRLP of Noncompliance

Management does not believe that the impact of Y2K will have a material adverse
effect on CRLP's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Such
belief is based on management's analysis of the risks to CRLP related to CRLP's
own potential Y2K problems discussed above and the assessment of the Y2K
problems of vendors, suppliers, and customers.

Property Management Systems - Management believes that the Y2K risks to CRLP's
financial condition and operations associated with a failure of building
management systems is immaterial due to the fact that each of CRLP's properties
have, for the most part, separate building management systems. In addition,
based upon the investigation results received to date, management believes there
is sufficient time to correct those system problems within CRLP's control before
the Year 2000.

In the event a failure of essential property management systems occurs at one or
more of CRLP's buildings, whether due to a failure of a Company system or an
interruption of utilities, management believes that the individual tenant leases
will protect CRLP from claims of constructive eviction or other remedies that
could result in a termination of lease rights. It is also management's belief
that most of the leases eliminate, limit or qualify the rights of a tenant to
receive an abatement under such circumstances. Although there is always a risk
of claims being brought on a noncontractual basis (e.g., in tort), it is
management's belief that CRLP's efforts to identify and solve Y2K problems will
minimize such risk. CRLP has also attempted to allocate the risk of
noncompliance to the vendors and manufacturers of the property management and
information systems by establishing standard riders and addenda to be attached
to new contracts for systems using time sensitive data.

Information Systems - Because CRLP's major source of income is rental payments
under long-term leases, the failure of key information systems is not expected
to have a material adverse effect on CRLP's financial condition, results of
operations, or cash flows for its existing properties. Even if problems with the
information systems are experienced, the payment of rent under leases would not
be excused. However, the ability of CRLP to produce complete and accurate
financial information in a timely fashion could be impaired. This situation
would affect CRLP's anticipated development projects or acquisitions of new
properties. Management expects to correct any information system problems within
CRLP's control before the Year 2000, thereby minimizing or avoiding the
increased cost of correcting problems after the fact.

Our Vendors - The success of CRLP's business is not closely tied to the
operations of any one manufacturer, vendor or supplier. Accordingly, if any
manufacturers, vendors or suppliers cease to conduct business due to Y2K related
problems, management expects to be able to contract with alternate providers
without experiencing any material adverse effect on CRLP's financial condition,
results of operations, or cash flows.

Our Customers - Because of a broad customer/tenant base, CRLP's success is not
closely tied to the success of any particular tenant. Accordingly, management
believes that there should not be a material adverse effect on CRLP's financial
condition, results of operations, or cash flows if any tenant ceases to conduct
business due to Y2K related problems. CRLP has requested that major tenants
provide periodic updates as to their Y2K readiness.

Phase Four - Developing Contingency Plans

CRLP currently does not have contingency plans in place; however, management
expects to develop and implement contingency plans by the end of the second
quarter of 1999. CRLP's contingency plans will be structured to address both
restoration of systems and their components and overall business operating risk.
These plans are intended to mitigate both internal risks, as well as potential
risks in the supply chain of CRLP's suppliers and customers.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, addresses the accounting for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and hedging activities. Under SFAS 133, CRLP will be required
to account for derivative financial instruments, if any, at their fair market
value, and make certain required disclosures. CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133
for periods beginning January 1, 2000.

INFLATION

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. 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. 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.

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation


Organization - Colonial Realty Limited Partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"or "CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on August 6,
1993, to succeed as owner of substantially all of the predecessor interest of
Colonial Properties, Inc. (CPI), Equity Partners Joint Venture, and Colonial
Properties Management Association, and certain real estate interest of Thomas H.
Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, James K. Lowder, Catherine K. Lowder, and the Bellwood
Trust (collectively referred to as the Colonial Group for purposes of these
financial statements). CRLP is the operating partnership of Colonial Properties
Trust, an Alabama real estate investment trust (the "Company") 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, retail malls and centers, and office buildings. Certain parcels of
land are also included.

Federal Income Tax Status -No provision for income taxes is provided
since all taxable income or loss or tax credits are passed through to the
partners. The Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, qualifies as a real estate investment trust ("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.

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. Where an impairment of a property's value is determined to be other than
temporary, an allowance for the estimated potential loss is established to
record the property at its net realizable value. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which
range from seven 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 the lower of cost or net realizable value.
CRLP capitalizes all costs associated with land development including
construction period interest and property taxes.

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. Leasing commissions and fees are
amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the related leases.

Derivatives - CRLP has only limited involvement with derivative
financial instruments and does not use them for trading 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. Premiums paid for
purchased interest rate cap agreements are amortized to expense over the terms
of the caps. Unamortized premiums are included in other assets in the balance
sheets. Amounts receivable under cap agreements are accrued as a reduction of
interest expense. Payments under interest rate swap agreements are recognized as
adjustments to interest expense as incurred. Treasury lock agreements are used
by CRLP to set interest rates in anticipation of public debt offerings. Any
gains or losses related to treasury locks are included in deferred debt and
lease cost on the balance sheet and amortized over the life of the related debt
to the extent that such treasury locks are utilized. All unutilized treasury
locks are expensed when their future utility expires. All treasury locks were
utilized during 1998 and 1997.

Revenue Recognition - Rental income and management fees are recognized
as earned. Anticipated losses, if any, are recognized when such amounts become
known.

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 numbers of common units outstanding during the periods,
adjusted for the assumed conversion of all potentially dilutive securities.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standard - Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, addresses the accounting for derivative instruments, including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging
activity. Under SFAS 133, CRLP will be required to account for derivative
financial instruments, if any, at their fair market value, and make certain
required disclosures. CRLP is required to adopt SFAS 133 for periods beginning
January 1, 2000.

Segment Reporting - In 1998, CRLP adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 131 (SFAS 131), Disclosure about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. Reportable segments are identified based
upon management's approach for making operating decisions and assessing
performance of CRLP. The adoption of SFAS 131 did not affect results of
operations or financial position but did require the disclosure of segment
information (see Note 7).

Software Development - CRLP capitalizes certain internally developed
software costs. Costs capitalized in connection with internal software
development are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful life of the software.

Reclassifications - Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made
to the 1996 and 1997 financial statements in order to conform them to the 1998
financial statement presentation.

3. Property Acquisitions and Dispositions

CRLP acquired 12 properties and invested in an additional joint
venture during 1998, 25 properties during 1997, and 11 properties during 1996 at
aggregate costs of $348.6 million, $430.6 million, and $173.7 million,
respectively. CRLP funded these acquisitions with cash proceeds from its public
offerings of equity (see Note 9) and debt (see Note 8), advances on bank lines
of credit, the issuance of limited partnership units in CRLP, the proceeds
received from the formation of joint ventures (see Note 6), and cash from
operations.

7. Segment Information

CRLP is organized into, and manages its business based on the
performance of, three separate and distinct operating divisions: Multifamily,
Retail, and Office. 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."
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,
1998, 1997, and 1996 is as follows:

--------------------------------------------------

As of December 31, 1998, CRLP has an unsecured bank line of credit
providing for total borrowings of up to $250 million. This line of credit
agreement bears interest at LIBOR plus 80 to 135 basis points, is renewable in
July 2000 and provides for a two-year amortization in the case of nonrenewal.
The line of credit agreement includes a competitive bid feature that will allow
CRLP to convert up to $125 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, 1998, of $174.5 million. The weighted average interest
rate of this short-term borrowing facility, including the competitive bid
balance, was 6.42% and 6.70% at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

During 1998 and 1997, CRLP completed five public offerings of unsecured
debt securities totaling $350 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:



Gross Proceeds

Date Type of Note Maturity Rate (in thousands)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


January 1997 Medium-term January 2003 7.16% $ 50,000
July 1997 Medium-term July 2004 6.96% $ 75,000
August 1997 Medium-term August 2005 6.96 $ 25,000
September 1997 Medium-term September 2005 6.98% $ 25,000
July 1998 Senior July 2007 7.00 $175,000



CRLP has entered into an interest rate cap agreement which limits debt
of $50 million to an interest rate of 8.00% through May 2, 2000. CRLP paid
$227,500 for the interest rate cap, which is being amortized over the life of
the agreement. Subsequent to year-end, CRLP entered into two interest rate swap
agreements. On January 4, 1999, Colonial entered into an interest rate swap for
$50 million of its line of credit at 4.97% plus 80 to 135 basis points and on
January 15, 1999, CRLP entered into an interest rate swap for $52 million of tax
exempt bonds at a rate of 3.23%. Both of these interest rate swap agreements
have one-year terms and any payments made or received under the agreements are
recognized as adjustments to interest expense as incurred. Treasury lock
agreements are used by CRLP, to set interest rates in anticipation of public
debt offerings. CRLP 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. CRLP does not obtain collateral or other
security to support financial instruments subject to credit risk but monitors
the credit standing of counterparties.

At December 31, 1998, CRLP had $704.5 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 $320.8 million at December 31, 1998.

The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable at December 31,
1998, are as follows:

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, 1998 and 1997 was approximately $912.6 million
and $711.0 million, respectively.

Certain loan agreements of CRLP contain restrictive covenants which,
among other things, require maintenance of various financial ratios. At December
31, 1998, CRLP was in compliance with these covenants.

Certain partners of CRLP have guaranteed indebtedness of CRLP totaling
$33.5 million at December 31, 1998. These individuals have not been indemnified
by CRLP.


9. Cash Contributions

5,000,000. The proceeds of the offerings were contributed to CRLP and used to
fund acquisition and development expenditures, repay balances outstanding on
CRLP's revolving credit agreement, repay certain notes and mortgages payable,
and for general corporate purposes. Details relating to these equity offerings
are as follows:

10. Employee Benefits

Employees of CRLP and Colonial Properties Services, Inc. ("CPSI")
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, 1998 and 1997, as it relates to the employees of CRLP and CPSI.

(amounts in thousands) 1998 1997
- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------ ------
Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation
including vested benefits of $1,193 and $828
at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively $1,368 $ 961
Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligations
at year end $2,593 $1,957
Fair value of assets at year end $ 981 $ 861
Accrued pension cost $ 868 $ 536
Net pension cost for the year $ 393 $ 310



Actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value
of accumulated benefit obligations at January 1, 1998, are as follows:

1998 1997
---- ----

Weighted-average interest rate 6.75% 7.25%
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Increase in future compensation levels 4.00% 4.25%

CRLP and CPSI participate 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 and CPSI matching one-half of such contributions, solely at CRLP and CPSI's
discretion. Contributions by CRLP and CPSI were $178,000, $159,000 and $164,000
for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

11. Leasing Operations

CRLP is in the business of leasing and managing office, retail, and
multifamily property. For properties owned by CRLP, minimum rentals due in
future periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 1998, are as follows:

(in thousands)
-----------------
1999 $ 107,651
2000 90,435
2001 77,498
2002 67,999
2003 55,640
Thereafter 228,509
-----------------
$ 627,732
=================

The noncancelable leases are with tenants engaged in retail and office
operations in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, 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, 1998 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 1998, 1997, and 1996 includes percentage rent of $4.0
million, $2.2 million, and $1.8 million, respectively. This rental income was
earned when certain retail tenants attained sales volumes specified in their
respective lease agreements.

12. Related Party Transactions

CRLP has generally used affiliated construction companies to manage and
oversee its development projects. CRLP paid $40.0 million, $41.3 million, and
$42.6 million ($37.3 million, $39,8 million, and $41.2 million of which was
subsequently then paid to unaffiliated subcontractors, respectively) for
property development costs to Lowder Construction Company, Inc., a construction
company owned by The Colonial Company ("TCC") (an affiliate of certain
shareholders and minority interest holders), during the years ended December 31,
1998, 1997, and 1996, respectively. CRLP had outstanding construction invoices
and retainage payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $4.3 million

construction invoices and retainage payable to these construction companies
totaling $1.2 million at December 31, 1998. There were no outstanding
construction invoices and retainage payable to these construction companies at
December 31, 1997.

Colonial Commercial Investments, Inc. ("CCI"), which is owned by
trustees James K. Lowder and Thomas H. Lowder has guaranteed indebtedness
totaling $1.3 million at December 31, 1998 for Anderson Block Properties, which
is a partnership accounted for by CRLP under the equity method (listed in Note
6). CRLP has indemnified CCI from its guarantees of this indebtedness.

On July 1, 1998, CRLP acquired a 79.8% interest in Colonial Village at
Haverhill (formerly Haverhill Apartments). The remaining 20.2% interest in this
property was acquired by entities that are owned by a trustee of CRLP.

In connection with the Riverchase Center acquisition, CRLP initially
acquired a 73% interest in a portion of the office complex. Effective November
1, 1997, CRLP purchased the remaining 27% interest in the property by issuing
114,798 limited partnership units to the seller. The seller is a trustee of
CRLP.

In November 1997, CRLP purchased Polar BEK's 50% interest in Polar
BEK/Colonial Partnership I (a partnership previously accounted for under the
equity method of accounting), a partnership which owned a 168,000 square foot
office building in Birmingham for $7.4 million. This purchase increased CRLP's
ownership from 50% to 100%.

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

During 1997 CRLP, through CPSI, exercised options to purchase land from
a related party in the amount of $366,000. As of December 31, 1998, all options
to purchase land from a related party had expired. In December 1997, CPSI
acquired a parcel of land from CCI and sold the land, along with an adjoining
parcel of land, to an unaffiliated third party for a net gain of $60,000. Also
in December 1997, CPSI sold a separate parcel of land to CCI, which resulted in
a net gain of $120,000.

Defined Benefit Plan

The Company maintains a Retirement Plan (the "Plan") for all of the
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 wage base, and at a higher
percentage of compensation above the Social Security wage base. Employment by
Colonial, the Company's predecessor, or certain of its affiliated entities is
treated as covered service for purposes of the Plan. 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 subsidiaries.

The following table reflects estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement under the 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.

Pension Plan Table

$ 160,000 or over $12,160 $24,320 $36,480 $48,640 $60,800




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 $160,000 in 1999. 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 24
years of covered service under the Plan, Howard B. Nelson, Jr. has 14 years of
service, C. Reynolds Thompson, III has two years of service, John N. Hughey has
16 years of service, and Robert A. Jackson has one year of service.

Employment Agreement

Thomas H. Lowder, the chief executive officer of the Company, entered
into an employment agreement with the Company in September 1993. This agreement
provides for an initial term of three years, with automatic renewals for
successive one year terms if neither party delivers notice of 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 the Annual
Incentive Plan. See "Report on Executive Compensation -- Annual Incentive Plan."
The agreement includes provisions restricting Mr. Lowder from competing with the
Company during employment and, except in certain circumstances, for two years
after termination of employment. The employment agreement provides for certain
severance payments in the event of disability or termination by the Company
without cause or by the employee with cause.

million. The Company paid the purchase price with 76,809 units of limited

Also on July 1, 1998, the Company acquired Mansell Overlook 200, a

million. The Company paid the purchase price by issuing a promissory note
payable to Polar BEK/Colonial Partnership II for the full amount of the purchase
price.

On October 7, 1998, the Company acquired land known as Colonial Grand

On November 18, 1998, the Company acquired land known as Colonial
Center at Research Park from CCI for approximately $1.0 million. The Company
paid the purchase price with 36,647 Units.

Brasfield & Gorrie General Contractors, Inc. ("B&G"), a corporation of
which Mr. Gorrie is a shareholder and chairman of the board, was engaged during
1995 to construct the expansion of the Company's Macon Mall. The Company paid
B&G a total of $0.4 million ($384,000 of which was then paid to unaffiliated
subcontractors) during 1998 pursuant to this engagement. The Company had

incur under this guarantee.

The Management Corporation provided management and leasing services
during 1998 to certain entities in which Messrs. J. Lowder, T. Lowder and R.
Lowder have an interest. The aggregate amount of fees paid to the Management
Corporation by such entities during 1998 was approximately $289,000. The Company
owns a 99% economic interest in the Management Corporation but, due to
limitations imposed by the IRS's REIT rules, owns only 1% of the voting stock.
The remainder of the voting stock is held by members of the Lowder family.

Colonial Insurance Company, a corporation indirectly owned by the
Lowder family, provided insurance brokerage services for the Company during
1998. The aggregate amount paid by the Company to Colonial Insurance Company for
these services for the year ended December 31, 1998, was approximately $131,000.

The Company leased space to certain entities in which the Lowder
family has an interest and received rent from these entities totaling
approximately $1.0 million during 1998.

The Company engaged Lowder Construction Company, Inc., of which Mr. J.
Lowder serves as chairman of the board and which is indirectly owned by Mr. J.
Lowder and T. Lowder, to serve as construction manager for ten multifamily
development and expansion projects during 1998. The Company paid a total of
$40.0 million ($37.3 million of which was then paid to unaffiliated
subcontractors) for the construction of these development and expansion projects
during 1998. The Company had outstanding construction invoices and retainage
payable to Lowder Construction Company, Inc. totaling $4.3 million at December
31, 1998.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial
ownership of Common Shares as of March 10, 1999 for (1) each person known by the
Company to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Company's
outstanding Common Shares, (2) each trustee of the Company and each Named
Executive Officer and (3) the trustees and executive officers of the Company as
a group. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power
with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as
otherwise set forth in the notes to the table. References in the table to
"Units" are to units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership. Units owned by a person named in the table are included in the
"Number of Common Shares" column because such Units are redeemable, at the
option of the holder, for cash equal to the value of an equal number of Common
Shares or, at the election of the Company, for an equal number of Common Shares.
Because of limitations on ownership of Common Shares imposed by the Company's
Declaration of Trust, none of the Lowder brothers nor Mr. Ripps could in fact
redeem all of his Units for Common Shares without divesting a substantial number
of Common Shares in connection with the redemption. The extent to which a person
holds Units as opposed to Common Shares is set forth in the footnotes.

5. Black-Out Period.

(a) Following the effectiveness of a Registration Statement (and the
filings with any state securities commissions), the Company may direct the
Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Securities for such times as the
Company reasonably may determine is necessary and advisable, including the
following events (each, a "Suspension Event"): (i) an underwritten primary
offering by the Company where the Company is advised by the underwriters for
such offering that sale of Registrable Shares under the Registration Statement
would have a material adverse effect on the primary offering, or (ii) pending
negotiations relating to, or consummation of, a transaction or the occurrence of
an event (x) that would require additional disclosure of material information by
the Company in the Registration Statement (or such filings), (y) as to which the
Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving confidentiality or (z)
which renders the Company unable to comply with SEC requirements, in each case
under circumstances that would make it impractical or inadvisable to cause the
Registration Statement (or such filings) to become effective or to promptly
amend or supplement the Registration Statement on a post-effective basis, as
applicable.

(b) In the event of a Suspension Event, the Company may give notice (a
"Suspension Notice") to the Holder to suspend sales of the Registrable Shares so
that the Company may correct or update the Registration Statement (or such
filings); provided, however, that such suspension shall continue only for so
long as the Suspension Event or its effect is continuing. The Holder agrees that
it will not effect any sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to such
Registration Statement (or such filings) at any time after it has received a
Suspension Notice from the Company. If so directed by the Company, Holder will
deliver to the Company all copies of the Prospectus covering the Registrable
Shares held by them at the time of receipt of the Suspension Notice. The Holder
may recommence effecting sales of the Registrable Shares pursuant to the
Registration Statement (or such filings) following further notice to such effect
(an "End of Suspension Notice") from the Company, which End of Suspension Notice
shall be given by the Company promptly following the conclusion of any
Suspension Event and the effectiveness of any required amendment or supplement
to be the Registration Statement.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5(a) and 5(b) to the
contrary: (i) no Holder shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 5(a) and
5(b) hereof for a period of time in excess of sixty (60) days; and (ii) no
Suspension Notice may be given more than twice in any twelve (12) month period.
Moreover, notwithstanding Section 2(a) hereof, if the Company shall give a
Suspension Notice pursuant to this Section 5, the Company agrees it shall extend
the period during which the Registration Statement shall be maintained effective
pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days during the period from the date
of the giving of the Suspension Notice to and including the date when the
Holders shall have received the End of Suspension Notice and copies of the
supplemented or amended Prospectus necessary to resume sales.

6. Rule 144 and Rule 144A.

For so long as the Company is subject to the reporting
requirements of Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act, the Company covenants that
it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities
Act and Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
adopted by the SEC thereunder and, if at any time the Company is not required to
file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Registrable
Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to
permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Company also
covenants that it will provide the information required pursuant to Rule
144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act upon the request of any Holder of
Registrable Securities and it will take such further action as any Holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from
time to time, to enable such Holder to sell its Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended
from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be
amended from time to time, or (c) any similar rule or regulation hereafter
adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities,
the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has
complied with such requirements.

7. Indemnification.

(a) The Company will indemnify each Registering Holder, each such Holder's
officers and directors, and each person controlling such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal expenses), arising
out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any registration statement or prospectus relating to
such Holders' Registrable Securities, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not indemnify and will not
be liable to any Registered Holder in any such case to the extent that any such
claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission, made in
conformity with and in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the
Company by such Holder or by an underwriter for inclusion therein or such
Holder's failure to deliver any Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.

(b) Each Registering Holder will indemnify the Company, each of its
trustees and each of its officers who signs the registration statement, each
underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such registration
statement, and each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses,
damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of
a material fact contained in any such registration statement or prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or based on any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such registration
statement or prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with information
furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder for inclusion therein.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 7 (the
"Indemnified Party") shall give notice to the party required to provide
indemnification (the "Indemnifying Party") promptly after such Indemnified Party
has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. However,
the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7, except to the extent of the actual
damages suffered by such delay in notification. The Indemnifying Party shall
assume the defense of such action. including the employment of counsel, which
shall be chosen by the Indemnifying Party and shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party, and payment of expenses in connection with such
defense. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in
any such case, but the legal fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall
have been authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (ii) the Indemnifying
Party shall not have assumed the defense of such action within a reasonable
period of time, or (iii) the Indemnified Party shall have been reasonably
advised by its counsel that there may be defenses available to it or them which
are different from or additional to those available to Indemnifying Party (in
which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party), in any of which events such
fees and expenses shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying
Party in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the
consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the
giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each such Indemnified Party of a release
from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable to
a party that would have been an Indemnified Party under this Section 7, then
each party that would have been an Indemnifying Party hereunder shall, in lieu
of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, losses, damages,
liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party on the one hand and such Indemnified
Party on the other in connection with the statement or omission which resulted
in such claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault shall be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
related to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified
Party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and
each Registering Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if
contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation
or by any other method of allocation that fails to take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above in this Section 7(d).

(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) In no event shall any Registering Holder be liable for any claims,
losses, damages, liabilities or expenses pursuant to this Section 7 in excess of
the proceeds to such Holder for the sale of such Holder's Registrable Securities
pursuant to a Registration.
