Item 1.  Business

                                    GENERAL
    
     Colonial Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Company"), is the "operating partnership" of Colonial Properties Trust
("Colonial"), an Alabama real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose common
shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol
"CLP."  The Company is managed by Colonial, through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Colonial Properties Holding Company, Inc., an Alabama corporation ("CPHC"),
which in turn owns approximately 68.0% of the partnership interests in the
Company as of May 31, 1996 and serves as the sole general partner of the
Company.  The Company's activities as of May 31, 1996 include ownership of a
diversified portfolio of 67 multifamily, retail and office properties located in
Alabama, Florida and Georgia, development of new properties, acquisitions of
existing properties, and build-to-suit development.      
    
     Colonial completed its $195 million initial public offering of 8,480,000
common shares of beneficial interest, $.01 par value per share ("Common
Shares"), in September 1993 at a price of $23.00 per share (the "IPO").  In
October 1993, the underwriters of the IPO exercised an over-allotment option to
purchase an additional 686,200 Common Shares.  On May 23, 1995, Colonial
completed a second public offering of 3,000,000 Common Shares at a price of
$22.75 per share, and on June 13, 1995 the Company issued another 450,000 Common
Shares pursuant to an over-allotment option exercised by the underwriters (the
"Second Offering").  On January 22, 1996, Colonial completed a third public
offering of 4,600,000 Common Shares (600,000 of which were issued upon exercise
of the underwriter's over-allotment option) at a price of $24.625 per share (the
"Third Offering").  See "Recent Development -- Financing Activity."      
    
     As of May 31, 1996, the Company owned a diversified portfolio of 39 garden-
style multifamily apartment communities containing a total of 12,568 apartment
units (the "Multifamily Properties"), 18 retail properties (including four
regional malls, two "power centers," 11 neighborhood shopping centers, and one
mini-warehouse storage facility) containing a total of approximately 4.5 million
square feet of retail space (the "Retail Properties"), ten office properties
containing a total of approximately 1.0 million square feet of office space (the
"Office Properties") and parcels of land adjacent to or near certain of these
properties (the "Land").  (The Multifamily Properties, the Retail Properties,
the Office Properties and the Land are referred to collectively as the
"Properties.")  The Company also is expanding four Multifamily Properties and
two Retail Properties and is developing three new multifamily properties.      
    
     Colonial currently conducts all of its business through CPHC, the Company,
Colonial Properties Services Limited Partnership (the "Management Partnership"),
which provides management services for the Properties, and Colonial Properties
Services, Inc. (the "Management Corporation"), which provides management
services for properties owned by third parties.  The Company owns all of the
Properties (or interests therein).  The Company is the sole general partner of
the Management Partnership and owns 99% of the interests therein.  The
Management Corporation owns the remaining 1% interest as a limited partner.
Colonial owns 100% of the nonvoting common stock (representing 98.99% of the
total equity of the Management Corporation) and 1% of the voting common stock
(representing .01% of the total equity) of the Management Corporation.  Thomas
and James Lowder and their affiliates own the remaining voting common stock of
the Management Corporation.  The nonvoting common stock and voting common stock
owned by Colonial together represent 99% of the equity interest in the
Management Corporation.  The members of the Board of Trustees of Colonial and
the members of the Board of Directors of CPHC are identical, and all of the
executive officers of Colonial also are executive officers of CPHC.

     Since the IPO, the Company has significantly expanded its portfolio of
Properties and its operating businesses. The Company has acquired direct or
indirect interests in 23 additional Multifamily Properties, eight additional
Retail Properties and several additional parcels of Land. These acquisitions
included (i) the acquisition of ten Multifamily Properties developed and owned
by The Rime Companies, representing a total of 4,947 apartment units, for an
aggregate purchase price, paid in units of limited partnership of the Operating
Partnership, of approximately $190.8 million (the "Rime Acquisition") and (ii)
the acquisition of four Multifamily Properties developed and indirectly owned by
EPOCH Properties, Inc., representing a total of 1,370 apartment units, for an
aggregate purchase price of approximately $75.1 million. The Company also has
completed the expansion of two Multifamily Properties, has initiated or is
planning the expansion or development of seven additional Multifamily Properties
and has initiated major expansions of Macon Mall and Montgomery Promenade. The
Company's acquisitions and its expansion and development activities have
increased the Company's presence in Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The Company
also is planning to develop a new Multifamily Property on Land it recently
acquired in Florida.    
    
     As of May 31, 1996, Colonial, through CPHC, owned approximately 68.0% of
the Class A units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") of the Company
and a 1% general partnership interest.  An additional 17.1% of the Units of the
Company were owned by members of the Lowder Family (which includes Thomas,
James, Robert and Catherine Lowder and their affiliates), which collectively
contributed 25 of the Properties in connection with the IPO, and 9.2% of the
Units were owned directly or indirectly by Harold W. Ripps and Herbert A.
Meisler, who received their Units in connection with the Rime Acquisition.      

Operating Strategy
    
     The Company is organized into three distinct operating divisions--
multifamily, retail and office--each of which is responsible for the management
and leasing of its property type.  The Company 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 relating
to the Properties.  Colonial is engaged, through the Management Corporation, in
the third-party management, leasing and brokerage businesses, which has allowed
Colonial to establish additional relations with tenants that may require
additional retail or office space in properties owned by the Company and to
identify potential acquisitions for the Company.  Additional information with
respect to each of the operating divisions is set forth below.      
    
     Multifamily Division.  The multifamily division of the Company is
responsible for all aspects of the Company's multifamily operations, including
day-to-day management and leasing of the 39 Multifamily Properties, as well as
the acquisition, expansion or development of additional multifamily properties.
     
    
     Retail Division.  The Company's retail division is responsible for all
aspects of the Company's retail operations, including the provision of
management, leasing, and brokerage services for the 18 Retail Properties, as
well as the acquisition, expansion and development of additional retail
properties.      
    
     Office Division.  The Company's office division is responsible for all
aspects of the Company's commercial office operations, including the provision
of management, leasing, and brokerage services for the ten Office Properties, as
well as the acquisition, expansion and development of additional office
properties.

Business Strategy
    
     The general business strategy of the Company is to generate stable and
increasing cash flow and portfolio value.  The Company has 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 mid-sized growth markets
located in the southeastern United States where the Company has first-hand
knowledge of growth patterns and local economic conditions and generally has a
competitive advantage due to its size and access to lower-cost capital, 
(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, and (iv) employing a comprehensive capital maintenance program
to maintain properties in first-class condition. The Company plans to continue
the implementation of these business strategies while capitalizing on what it
believes are its competitive advantages in the real estate marketplace. These
competitive advantages include the following:      
    
     Regional Focus.  All of the Properties are located in Alabama, Florida and
Georgia, and primarily in mid-sized cities in those states.  By focusing on the
southeastern United States in general, and these three states in particular, the
Company believes that it has been able to maintain a strong market presence in
and an in-depth knowledge of each of its primary markets.  The Company believes
this focus enables it to better understand and respond to market and submarket
conditions and to attract new residents or tenants because of the Company's name
recognition.      
    
     Diversity of Product.  The Company and its predecessors have maintained
operations in three major real estate industry segments--multifamily, retail and
office--for over 25 years.  The Company's operations in these three segments are
conducted through three distinct divisions, each of which is independently
operated and staffed with management and staff personnel that have specialized
experience in that industry segment.  See "Business--General--Operating
Strategy."  The Company believes that its diversified operations create cross-
selling opportunities between the office and retail divisions, give it more in-
depth knowledge of local real estate markets, and may minimize the effect on the
Company of cyclical swings associated with specific property types.      
    
     Experienced Management.  The Company believes that strong, experienced
leadership, particularly in the management and leasing area, is critical to the
success of a fully-integrated real estate company.  The Company's senior
managers have extensive experience (an average of 21 years) in the real estate
industry in the southeastern United States, and have established numerous
contacts throughout the industry through leadership of various local and
national chapters of real estate associations.  The Company believes that the
experience of its management team gives it an advantage over less experienced
competitors in its primary markets.  In addition, the Company is committed to a
continuing education program that encourages its employees to attain recognized,
professional designations.      
    
     Long-Term Relationships.  The Company's predecessor, Colonial Properties,
Inc. ("CPI"), and Thomas Lowder have been actively engaged in the real estate
business in the southeastern United States for over 25 years.  Thomas Lowder and
his brother, James, have close ties to this region and are established members
of the local and regional business communities.  Through their extensive
business dealings in the region, CPI and the Lowder family have developed a
number of long-term business relationships with tenants and real estate owners,
as well as contractors, suppliers, professionals and lenders, in the Southeast.
The Company believes that these relationships result in cost savings due to
reduced tenant turnover, enable the Company to obtain favorable terms for
services, goods and loans and provide the Company with access to additional
business opportunities.

     Additional information about the business of the Company is set forth under
"The Company," pages S-7 through S-9, in Colonial's Prospectus Supplement (to
Prospectus dated December 21, 1995) dated January 17, 1996, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to Rule 424(b) of
Regulation C under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), relating to Colonial's Registration Statement on Form S-3, File 
No. 33-89612, which hereby is incorporated by reference in this Registration
Statement and shall be deemed a part hereof.      

                              RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Financing Activity
    
     On January 22, 1996, Colonial issued 4,600,000 Common Shares at a price of
$24.625 per share.  The net proceeds of the offering amounted to $107.3 million,
of which $79.8 million was used to repay the balances of certain indebtedness of
the Company, and the remainder of which was used to fund acquisitions and
expansion and development activities.      
    
     In December 1995, the Company increased the amount available for borrowings
under the $62.6 million secured line of credit with SouthTrust Bank, N.A. (agent
bank), AmSouth Bank, Wells Fargo Realty Advisors Funding, and National Bank of
Commerce to $75.0 million and converted the line of credit to an unsecured
facility (the "Unsecured Line of Credit").  The Unsecured Line of Credit bears
interest at a rate ranging between 125 and 175 basis points above the 30-day or
90-day LIBOR and requires quarterly compliance with several financial covenants,
including limits on interest expense, fixed charges, and debt to total market
capitalization. The Unsecured Line of Credit is renewable annually in December
and provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.     
    
     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had available floating-rate debt in the
maximum amount of $100.8 million pursuant to the Unsecured Line of Credit, three
secured lines of credit (the "Secured Lines of Credit") and one construction
loan (collectively, the "Credit Facilities"). In May 1996, the Company increased
the amount available for borrowings under the Unsecured Line of Credit from
$75.0 million to $110.0 million.  During June 1996, the Company terminated one 
Secured Line of Credit and the construction loan and terminated a second Secured
Line of Credit effective July 1, 1996. The Company expects to terminate its
final Secured Line of Credit of $5.0 million in early July upon completion of
the refinancing of a portion of the Company's tax-exempt bond debt.     

Multifamily Property Acquisitions
    
     During the second quarter of 1996, the Company acquired six Multifamily
Properties (the "1996 Acquisitions"). Effective April 1, 1996, the Company
acquired Ashford Place Apartments, a 168-unit multifamily property, and Pointe
West Apartments, a 104-unit multifamily property, both located in Mobile,
Alabama. The purchase price of the two properties was approximately $10.9
million, which the Company financed by (i) issuing 182,804 Units, at a valuation
of $24.00 per unit, (ii) assuming a mortgage with a balance of approximately
$6.4 million and which bears interest at 7.125% per annum, and (iii) paying
acquisition costs estimated at approximately $130,000. As of April 30, 1996,
    

                                       6

the Lines of Credit.  As of April 30, 1996, Spring Creek Apartments were 96.6%
occupied, with average rent of $610 per unit.      
    
     On April 16, 1996, the Company acquired Crowne Chase Apartments, a 244-unit
multifamily property located in Birmingham, Alabama.  The purchase price of the
property was approximately $13.7 million, which was financed by the Company
assuming a mortgage with a balance of $7.5 million and which bears interest at
6.875% and through advances on the Unsecured Line of Credit.  As of April 30,
1996, Crowne Chase Apartments were 98.0% occupied, with average rent of $660 per
unit.      
    
     On May 14, 1996, the Company acquired Crowne Point Apartments, a 392-unit
multifamily property, and Crowne Ridge Apartments, a 125-unit multifamily
property, both located in Birmingham, Alabama.  The purchase price of Crowne
Point Apartments was approximately $23.1 million, which was financed by the
Company assuming a mortgage with a balance of $12.4 million and which bears
interest at 8.0% and through an advance on the Unsecured Line of Credit.  The
purchase price of Crowne Ridge Apartments was approximately $7.2 million, which
was financed by the Company assuming a mortgage with a balance of $3.8 million
and which bears interest at 8.06% and through an advance on the Unsecured Line
of Credit.  As of May 14, 1996, these properties were approximately 90%
occupied.

in October 1995.  The Company acquired the land (30 acres) for $2.2 million in
December 1994.  The new development, which will be named Colonial Grand at

     Heatherbrooke IV.  The Company expects to begin construction on an 84-unit
expansion of Heatherbrooke Apartments located in Birmingham, Alabama during the
third quarter of 1996.  Project development costs, including land acquisition
costs, are expected to total $4.1 million and will be funded through advances on
the Unsecured Line of Credit.  The Company expects to complete construction in
the second quarter of 1997 and to complete lease-up during the fourth quarter of
1997.      
    
     Colonial Grand at Hunters Creek.  The Company expects to begin construction
on a 496-unit development named Colonial Grand at Hunters Creek located in
Orlando, Florida during the third quarter of 1996.  The property will be
developed in two phases, the first of which is expected to contain 313 units.
Project development costs, including land acquisition costs, are expected to
total approximately $33.0 million and will be funded through advances on the
Unsecured Line of Credit.  The Company expects to complete construction in the
second quarter of 1998 and to complete lease-up during the first quarter of
1999.

Retail Development Projects
    
     Macon Mall.  In May 1995, the Company began a 423,000 square foot expansion
of Macon Mall, which is expected to open in the first quarter of 1997.  The
expansion will include the addition of 175,000 square feet of specialty store
gross leasable area ("GLA").  The expansion also will include the addition of
anchor tenants Dillard's and Parisian, which will join existing anchor tenants
Sears, J.C. Penney,  Macy's, and Belk Matthews.  As of June 12, 1996, more than
56% of the specialty store space of the expansion was committed and leased or
out for signature.  When fully developed and expanded, Macon Mall will contain
approximately 1,440,000 square feet of leaseable area.  Project expansion costs
are expected to total approximately $52.0 million and will be financed through
advances on the Unsecured Line of Credit.  The Company expects to complete
lease-up during the first quarter of 1998.      
    
     Montgomery Promenade North.  In June 1996, the Company began a 225,000
square foot expansion of Montgomery Promenade, which is expected to open in the
first quarter of 1997.  The expansion will be known as Montgomery Promenade
North and is expected to include approximately 95,000 square feet of specialty
store GLA.  The expansion also will include a 130,000 square foot tenant-owned
Home Depot, which will join existing anchor tenants Winn Dixie Market Place,
Stein Mart, Michael's Arts & Crafts, and Books-a-Million.  The Company
anticipates that project expansion costs will not exceed $7.0 million and will
be financed through advances on the Unsecured Line of Credit.      

Americans with Disabilities Act
    
     The Properties and any newly developed or acquired properties must comply
with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (the "ADA") to the extent
that such properties are "public accommodations" and/or "commercial facilities"
as defined by the ADA.  Compliance with the ADA could require removal of
structural barriers to handicapped access in certain public areas of the
Company's Properties where such removal is readily achievable.  The ADA does
not, however, consider residential properties, such as apartment communities, to
be public accommodations or commercial facilities, except to the extent portions
of such facilities, such as the leasing office, are open to the public.
Noncompliance with the ADA could result in imposition of fines or awards of
damages to private litigants.      

Environmental Regulations
    
     Under various Federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a
current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be required to
investigate and clean up certain hazardous substances released at the property,
and may be held liable to a governmental entity or to third parities for
property damage and for investigation and cleanup costs incurred by such parties
in connection with the contamination.  In addition, some environmental laws
create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages
and costs it incurs in connection with the contamination.  The presence of
contamination or the failure to remediate contamination may adversely affect the
owner's ability to sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate
as collateral.  The owner or operator of a site may be liable under common law
to third parties for damages and injuries resulting from environmental
contamination emanating form the site.  The Company has not been notified by any
governmental authority of any material non-compliance, liability or other claim
in connection with any of the Properties and the Company is not aware of any
other environmental condition with respect to any of the Properties that could
be material.  No assurance, however, can be given that no prior owner created
any material environmental condition not known to the Company, that no material
environmental condition with respect to any Property has occurred during the
Company's ownership thereof, or that future uses or conditions      


                                       9

(including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and
regulations) will not result in imposition of environmental liability.
    
     At one of the Company's Properties, 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.  The Company is 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, the Company has been reimbursed under the
Alabama Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund for the costs incurred to date in
connection with the ongoing cleanup, and expects to be reimbursed for the
remaining costs as well.  Currently a free product recovery program is underway.

Item 2.  Financial Information
    
          The following table sets forth selected financial and operating
information on a historical basis for the Company (and, for periods prior to the
IPO, the Colonial Group) for each of the five years ended December 31, 1995 and
for each of the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The historical
operating data for the years ended December 31, 1992 and 1991 has been derived,
and the historical operating data for the year ended December 31, 1993 has been
partially derived, from the historical financial statements of the Colonial
Group, whose real estate interests were acquired in connection with the
formation of the Company in 1993.  The "Colonial Group" consists of CPI, Equity
Partners Joint Venture, Colonial Properties Management Association, and certain
real estate interests of Thomas H. Lowder, Robert E. Lowder, James K. Lowder,
Catherine K. Lowder and the Bellwood Trust.  The operating data, balance sheet
data and certain other data for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
have been derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the
Company. In the opinion of the Company, the operating and balance sheet data for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 include all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the information set forth therein. Such information should be read in
conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this Form 10 and the financial
statements and notes thereto included in this Form 10.  The Company believes
that the book value of its real estate assets, which reflects the historical
costs of such assets less accumulated depreciation, is not indicative of the
current market value of the Properties.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    
     The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial
condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the
Selected Financial and Operating Information and the Consolidated and Combined
Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in this Form 10.      

General
    
     On September 29, 1993, Colonial completed its IPO, and the Company
succeeded to the business and operations of CPI.  The Company completed its
first full quarter of operations on December 31, 1993 and its first full year on
December 31, 1994.  For purposes of financial statement presentation, the
results of operations of the properties acquired by the Company in the IPO are,
for periods prior to the IPO, attributed to the Colonial Group, reflecting the
Colonial Group's ownership of those properties (see Note 1 to the Consolidated
and Combined Financial Statements).  Results of operations subsequent to the IPO
are included in the Company's consolidated results of operations.      
    
Results of Operations -- Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995      
    
     Revenue.  Total revenue increased by $4.1 million, or 16.1%, for the first
quarter of 1996 when compared to the first quarter of 1995.  Of this increase,
$3.4 million represents revenues generated by ten properties acquired and
developed during 1995.  The remainder of the increase was primarily attributable
to increases in rent revenues.      
    
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 11.5%
for the first quarter of 1996 when compared to the first quarter of 1995. Of
this increase, $1.1 million and $0.4 million represent property operating
expenses and depreciation expense, respectively, of ten properties acquired
during 1995.     
        
    
     Other Income and Expenses.  Interest expense decreased by $1.2 million or
19.3%, for the first quarter of 1996 when compared to the first quarter of 1995.
This decrease is primarily attributed to the decrease in indebtedness which was
repaid through a portion of Colonial's equity offering proceeds in May 1995 and
January 1996.      

Results of Operations -- 1995 and 1994
    
     Summary.  The Company reported net income of $25.2 million for 1995
compared to $16.7 million for 1994.  On a per Unit basis, net income was $1.28
for 1995 compared to $1.17 for 1994.  Net income increased during 1995 when
compared to 1994 primarily due to the acquisition of 26 properties during 1994
and 1995 and the placement in service during 1995 of two properties developed by
the Company, as explained below:      
    
     Revenue.  Rent revenue increased by $44.9 million, or 72.2%, for 1995 when
compared to 1994.  Of this increase, $39.9 million represents rent revenues
generated by the 28 properties acquired/placed in service during 1994 and 1995.
The $5.0 million remainder of the increase in rental revenue primarily
represents increases in rental rates charged for existing space.  Other revenue
increased $2.6 million, or 150.2%, for 1995 when compared to 1994.  This
increase is      


                                      12
<PAGE>
 
    
attributable primarily to $1.5 million of other revenues generated by the 28
properties acquired/placed in service during 1994 and 1995 and $0.5 million
received from lease cancellations during the second quarter of 1995.      
    
     Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased by $25.8 million, or 
69.7%, for 1995 when compared to 1994 property. Of this increase, $14.2 million
and $7.0 million, respectively, represent property operating expenses and
depreciation and amortization expense of the 28 properties acquired/placed in
service during 1994 and 1995, and $2.3 million represents an increase in
administrative expenses associated with the management of those 28 properties,
an increase in reserve for contingencies, and a general increase in
administrative expenses.     
    
     Other Income and Expenses.  Interest expense increased $13.2 million, or
121.6%, for 1995 when compared to 1994.  This increase is attributed primarily
to properties acquired/placed in service during 1994 and 1995 that were financed
through advances under the Credit Facilities and the assumption of debt.  The
financing of these properties increased interest expense by $13.3 million for
1995 over 1994.  The Company capitalized interest on its development projects
during the construction period which reduced interest expense by $0.9 million in
1995, while only $0.3 million was capitalized in 1994.      
    
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- 1994 AND 1993      
    
     The Company reported net income of $16.7 million for 1994 compared to a 
net loss of $3.8 million for 1993. The improvement resulted primarily from
reduced interest expense following the repayment of debt in connection with the
IPO, the acquisition of 10 properties during 1994, and the impact during 1993 of
mortgage transfer expenses and debt prepayment penalties incurred in connection
with the IPO.     
    
     Revenue.  Revenue increased by $21.3 million or 50.0%, for 1994 when
compared to 1993. Of this increase, $11.3 million resulted from the purchase in
the IPO of the outside interests in 11 properties that were accounted for under
the equity method prior to the IPO. As a result of the purchase of these outside
interests, these 11 properties are now consolidated into the Company's financial
statements. Another $13.7 million of the increase represents revenues generated
by 10 new properties acquired during 1994. The operating results of another 10
new properties acquired as of year-end 1994 are not included in the Company's
operating results. As a result of the IPO and related transactions, the third-
party management business of Colonial was transferred to the Management
Corporation, in which the Company does not own an interest. This transaction
eliminated leasing and management fees revenue for the year ended December 31,
1994.     
    
     Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses increased $12.4 million, or 50.4%,
for 1994 when compared to 1993. Of this increase, $5.7 million resulted from the
purchase of the outside interests in 11 properties that were accounted for under
the equity method prior to the IPO. Another $7.4 million of the increase
represents the operating expenses of 10 new properties acquired by the Company
during 1994. Operating expenses for 1994 would have included $2.5 million
attributable to leasing and management activities if not for the transfer of the
third-party management and leasing business to the Management Corporation
following the IPO. Operating expenses also increased $1.3 million as a result of
the amortization of interest rate buy-down and interest rate cap agreements that
were entered into upon the closing of the IPO. Another $899,000 of the increase
in operating expenses represents additional expenses associated with Colonial's
operating as a publicly traded company during 1994, which expenses were
reimbursed by the Company.    
    
     Other Income and Expenses.  Interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or
15.3%, for 1994 when compared to 1993. The purchase of the outside interests in
and the consolidation of the 11 properties that were accounted for under the
equity method prior to the IPO increased interest expense by $2.4 million during
1994, while the repayment of debt with proceeds from the IPO decreased interest
expense by $8.1 million. The acquisition by the Company of 10 new properties
during 1994, which was financed primarily through advances under the Company's
lines of credit and the assumption of debt, increased interest expense by $3.9
million for 1994, while the capitalization of interest on construction in
progress reduced interest expense by $333,000. Mortgage transfer expense of $1.6
million, presented in 1993 represents one-time costs incurred to transfer the
properties and related mortgages to the Company as part of the IPO and related
transactions. The extraordinary loss of $7.3 million during 1993 resulted from
the early extinguishment of debt and represents expenses incurred as a result of
the repayment of debt with IPO proceeds, including prepayment penalties of $6.5
million and the write-off of mortgage costs of $830,000.    
    
Liquidity and Capital Resources      
    
     During 1995, the Company acquired six retail shopping centers, representing
1.4 million square feet of leasable area, at an aggregate cost of approximately
$67.5 million and completed development of two multifamily apartment
communities, representing 372 apartment units, at an aggregate cost of
approximately $16.1 million.  The Company used cash proceeds from Colonial's
secondary offering in May 1995, which totaled approximately $73.7 million, net
of offering costs of $4.8 million, advances on its Credit Facilities, and cash
from operations to finance these acquisitions and development projects.  During
the first quarter of 1996, the Company completed the expansion of one
Multifamily Property, adding 16 units at a total cost of $750,000.  The Company
currently is expanding or developing seven Multifamily Properties and two Retail
Properties representing a total expected investment of $160.9 million.      
    
     In January 1996, Colonial completed an offering of 4,600,000 common shares
of beneficial interest at a price of $24.625 per share.  The $106.9 million
proceeds from the offering, net of total offering costs of $6.4 million, were
used to repay the balances outstanding under the Company's Credit Facilities,
which had increased due to acquisition, expansion and development activity
during the last half of 1995, to repay an additional construction loan, and to
repay the $8.2 million balance outstanding under a mortgage agreement.      
    
     In June 1996, the Company increased the amount available for borrowings
under the Unsecured Line of Credit.  The Unsecured Line of Credit bears interest
at a rate ranging between 125 and 175 basis points above the 30-day or 90-day
LIBOR and requires quarterly compliance with several financial covenants,
including limits on interest expense, fixed charges, and debt to total market
capitalization.  The Unsecured Line of Credit is renewable annually in December
and provides for a two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.      
    
     Management intends to replace significant borrowings under the Unsecured
Line of Credit with funds generated from the sale of additional securities,
including sales of partnership      


                                      13
<PAGE>
 
    
interests to CPHC in connection with public offerings of securities by Colonial,
and/or permanent financing, as market conditions permit. Management believes
that these potential sources of funds, along with the possibility of issuing
partnership interests in exchange for properties, will provide the Company with
the means to finance additional acquisitions and development. 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 distributions to Unit holders.      

Inflation
    
     Substantially all of the leases at the Retail Properties provide for 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 or one year and
allow for rent adjustments at the time of renewal.  Leases at the Office
Properties typically provide for rent adjustment and pass-through of certain
operating expenses during the term of the lease.  All of these provisions permit
the Company to increase rental rates or other charges to tenants in response to
rising prices and, therefore, serve to minimize the Company's exposure to the
adverse effects of inflation.      

Item 3.  Properties

                                    GENERAL
    
     The 67 Properties consist of 39 Multifamily Properties, 18 Retail
Properties, and ten Office Properties, as described in more detail below. 
Thirty six of the Properties were owned at the time of the formation of the
Company in 1993 (the "Formation Transactions"), 19 Properties and one additional
phase of an existing Property were acquired during 1994, six Properties were
acquired during 1995, and six Properties (the 1996 Acquisitions) have been
acquired thus far in 1996.

has only a 33.3% interest) and 250 Commerce Street are historic buildings
located in Montgomery, Alabama which have been renovated to Class A office
space.  The two Properties benefit from their presence on the National Historic
Register and from their prime locations in Montgomery's downtown financial
district.  Both Properties were originally constructed as warehouses in the late
1800s/early 1900s and later underwent complete renovation in the early 1980s.
The Colonial BancGroup, Inc. occupies approximately 43% of 250 Commerce Street,
with the remainder leased to smaller tenants.  Anderson Block leases its entire

Company, which occupies 18,000 square feet.  The remainder of the Property is
leased to Gorham & Waldrep (a law firm) and to other smaller tenants.

Undeveloped Land
    
     The Company owns nine undeveloped land parcels consisting of approximately
30.5 acres (collectively, the "Land").  These parcels are adjacent to five 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 four Retail Properties.  Land adjacent to Multifamily Properties typically
will be considered for potential development of another phase of an existing
Multifamily Property if the Company determines that the particular market can
absorb additional apartment units.  The Company currently owns one such parcel.
For expansion at Retail Properties, the Company 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.  The Company owns four such
parcels.      
    
     Options to Acquire Additional Land.  In addition to the Land, the Company
has options to acquire certain additional land parcels owned by Thomas and James
Lowder and members of their family (collectively, the "Option Parcels").  The
name, location, proposed use and acreage of each Option Parcel is as follows:

     The Company 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, Georgia and Florida;
however, Birmingham, Alabama, Orlando, Florida, Huntsville, Alabama, Macon,
Georgia, Montgomery, Alabama, and Sarasota/Bradenton, Florida are the Company's
primary markets.  The Company believes that these six markets, which are
characterized by stable and increasing population and employment growth, should
continue to reflect a steady demand for multifamily, retail and office
properties.      
    
     Birmingham, Alabama.  Sixteen of the Company's Properties are located in
Birmingham, Alabama.  Birmingham is the business, financial, educational and
cultural center of Alabama and the state's largest city, with a population in

respectively, for 1994.  The unemployment rate in Birmingham was 3.2% as of
April 1996 compared to a national unemployment rate of 5.4%.      
    
     Orlando, Florida.  Nine of the Properties are located in Orlando, Florida
area, which is characterized by strong population and job growth.  With
approximately 1.4 million residents, Orlando is the third largest metropolitan
area in Florida.  Orlando's economy is based primarily upon tourism.  With Walt
Disney World, Disney's MGM Studios, EPCOT Center, Universal Studio and Sea
World, Orlando is considered one of the most popular tourist destinations in the
United States.  The rapid expansion of Orlando's tourism industry has also
resulted in related commercial development of the area, including development of
banking, light industrial manufacturing and distribution activities.  Year end
occupancy rates for multifamily, retail and office properties in Orlando were
92%, 84% and 85%, respectively, for 1994 as compared to 92%, 83% and 87%,
respectively, for 1993.  The average unemployment rate in Orlando was 3.8% as of
April 1996.

Atlanta.  The Macon MSA, comprised of Bibb, Houston, Jones and Peach counties,
is the third largest metropolitan area in the state, with a total population of
approximately 310,000 in 1994.  Situated in the center of Georgia along

(1)  As noted in the table, certain Properties were developed in phases and
     separate mortgage indebtedness encumbers each of the various phases.
(2)  All of the mortgages can be prepaid at any time, subject to prepayment
     penalties calculated typically on a yield maintenance basis, except for the
     mortgages encumbering Chestnut Ridge, Inverness Apartments, Willowbend,
     Whitesburg Building and one of the mortgages encumbering Riverchase Manor,
     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)  Represents the maximum interest rate payable by the Company for the next
     two years and nine months on these loans as result of an interest rate
     protection agreement entered into by the Company. The loans (which are
     financed through tax-exempt bonds) secured by these Properties (or phases
     thereof) bear interest at a variable rate, determined weekly at the rate
     necessary to produce a bid in the process of remarketing the bonds equal to
     par plus accrued interest, based on comparable issues in the market. The
     interest rate (including a credit enhancement fee) for these debt
     obligations as of December 31, 1995 was 5.99% for Heatherbrooke I and 5.98%
     for Somerset Place and Somerset Wharf I.

(12) This loan bears interest at a variable rate, based on LIBOR plus a spread
     determined by certain capitalization and coverage ratios that range from
     125 to 175 basis points.  $8.4 million of this indebtedness  is covered by
     an interest rate protection agreement which limits the effective interest
     rate on this amount to 6.0%.  This protection agreement expires in
     September 1996.
(13) This credit facility is renewable annually in December and provides for a
     two-year amortization in the event of non-renewal.      
    
     In addition to the foregoing mortgage debt, the four Properties in which
the Company owns partial interests (and which therefore are not consolidated in
the financial statements of the Company) also are subject to existing mortgage
indebtedness.  The Company's pro-rata share of such indebtedness as of 
December 31, 1995 was $7.4 million which carried a weighted average interest
rate of 8.7%. The maturity dates of these loans range from February 28, 1997 to
August 1, 2005, and as of December 31, 1995, the loans had a weighted average
maturity of 2.3 years.      
    
     During the second quarter of 1996, the Company acquired six Properties

Item 9.  Market Price of and Distributions on the Registrant's Common Equity and
     Related Security Holder Matters

     There is no established public trading market for the Units.  As of 
March 8, 1996, there were 21 holders of record of Units.
    
     The Company has made consecutive quarterly distributions since its
formation in the first quarter of 1993 and increased its distribution rate in
January 1995 and January 1996. The current indicated annual distribution rate is
$2.00 per Unit. The Company'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 Directors of
CPHC, its general partner, out of any fund legally available for that purpose.

                  distribution of $.44 per Unit, representing a 
                  distribution of $.01 per Unit with respect to the

                  and $.43 per Unit with respect to the fourth quarter 
                  of 1993.

Item 10.  Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
    
     Since its formation in September 1993, the Company has issued Units in
private placements exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to
Section 4(2) thereof in the amounts, for the consideration and at the times set
forth below:      
    
     .  In connection with the IPO in September 1993, 401,477 Units were issued
        to CPHC in exchange for the contribution of 3 Multifamily Properties to
        the Company.      
    
     .  In connection with the IPO in September 1993, 4,693,610 Units were
        issued to members of the Colonial Group and certain of their affiliates
        in exchange for the contribution of their respective direct and indirect
        interests in certain of the Properties.      
    
     .  In connection with the IPO, 8,480,000 and 686,200 Units were issued in
        September and October, 1993, respectively, to CPHC in exchange for the
        contribution by Colonial, through CPHC, of the net proceeds from
        Colonial's IPO and the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment
        option, respectively.      
    
     .  In November 1994, an aggregate of 14,025 Units were issued to Thomas H.
        Lowder, James K. Lowder and Robert E. Lowder in exchange for the
        contribution to the Company of their respective interests in certain
        land.      
    
     .  In December 1994, 3,362,524 million units of limited partnership
        interest were issued to the owners of interests in The Rime Companies in
        exchange for the Rime Companies' contribution of ten Multifamily
        Properties to the Company as part of the Rime Acquisition.      


                                      31
<PAGE>
 
    
     .  In May and June 1995, 3,000,000 and 450,000 Units, respectively, were
        issued to CPHC in exchange for the contribution by Colonial, through
        CPHC, of the net proceeds from a public offering of Common Shares and
        from the exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option, as
        described under "Item 1. Business--General" above.      
    
     .  In January 1996, 4,600,000 Units were issued to CPHC in exchange for the
        contribution by Colonial, through CPHC, of the net proceeds from a
        public offering of Common Shares and from the exercise of the
        underwriters over-allotment option, as described under "Item 1. 
        Business--Recent Developments--Sale of Additional Common Shares" above.
     
    
     .  From time to time under Colonial's Employee Share Option and Restricted
        Share Plan and its Trustee Share Option Plan, new or restricted Common
        Shares are issued and the proceeds of such issuances are contributed,
        through CPHC, to the Company in exchange for additional Units.  As of
        April 30, 1996, 24,120 Units had been issued to CPHC in connection
        therewith.      
    
     .  From time to time under Colonial's Dividend Reinvestment and Share
        Purchase Plan, new Common Shares are issued and the proceeds of such
        issuances are contributed, through CPHC, to the Company in exchange for
        additional Units. As of April 30, 1996, 5,712 Units had been issued to
        CPHC in connection therewith.      

     .  In April 1996, 182,804 units of limited partnership interest were issued
        to two individuals in exchange for the contribution of two Multifamily
        Properties.

Item 11.  Description of Registrant's Securities to be Registered

General
    
     Substantially all of Colonial's assets are held, and all of its operations
are conducted, by or through the Company.  The ownership interest of limited
partners in the Company is denominated in units of limited partnership interest
("OP Units").  The Units are the only class of OP Units currently outstanding.
CPHC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Colonial, is the general partner of the
Company and also holds a substantial number of Units as a limited partner of the
Company.  As of May 31, 1996, Colonial, through CPHC, owned approximately 68.0%
of the outstanding Units.  Colonial's Common Shares are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange.  Holders of Units (including CPHC, in its capacities as a
limited partner and the general partner) are entitled to share in cash
distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Company.  The number
of Units held by CPHC generally corresponds to the number of Common Shares that
Colonial has outstanding (and thus the cash distribution per Unit by the Company
should be the same as the cash dividend per Common Share paid by Colonial).
     
    
     The Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the
Company, as amended from time to time (the "Partnership Agreement") currently
authorizes the Company to issue from time to time two classes of OP Units:  
(i) the Units, including the Units that were issued to limited partners in
connection with the formation of the Company, the IPO of Colonial, and the
related transactions, subsequent public offerings, and the related transactions,
and any other OP Units that are not designated as Acquisition Units; and 
(ii) "Acquisition Units," which are OP Units that are issued to limited partners
admitted after September 29, 1993 in exchange for their contribution to the
Company of real property or other assets, unless CPHC elects to issue other OP
Units in such instances.  With the exception of distributions (as described
under "Distributions; Allocations of Income and Loss--Units; Acquisition Units"
and restrictions on redemption (as described under "Redemption of OP Units"),
Acquisition Units have the same      


                                      32
<PAGE>
 
rights, preferences, powers and duties as Units. All references herein to OP
Units include Units and Acquisition Units.
    
     The OP Units are not listed on any exchange or quoted on any national
market system.  Holders of OP Units who are admitted to the Company will have
the rights of limited partners under the Partnership Agreement and the Delaware
Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act (the "Act").  The Partnership Agreement
imposes certain restrictions on the transfer of OP Units, as described below.
     
     The following description is only a summary of certain provisions of the
Partnership Agreement and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the
Partnership Agreement.

Distributions; Allocations of Income and Loss
    
     Distributions Generally.  The Partnership Agreement provides for the
     -----------------------                                             
quarterly distribution of Available Cash, as determined in the manner provided
in the Partnership Agreement.  If no Acquisition Units are issued and
outstanding during a quarter, Available Cash is distributed for such quarter to
the holders of Units on the record date for such quarter in proportion to their
respective percentage interests in the Company.  "Available Cash" is generally
defined as net income plus depreciation and other adjustments and minus
reserves, principal payments on debt and capital expenditures and other
adjustments.  Neither CPHC nor the limited partners are entitled to any
preferential or disproportionate distributions of Available Cash.  Each OP Unit
generally will receive a distribution from the Company in substantially the same
amount as the dividend paid on each Common Share.      
    
     Units; Acquisition Units.  If Acquisition Units are issued and outstanding
     ------------------------                                                  
for any portion of a quarter, Available Cash for such quarter is distributed
among holders of Units (which includes CPHC) and Acquisition Units on the
applicable record date in accordance with their percentage interests in the
Company and the weighted average number of days during the quarter that the
Units and Acquisition Units, respectively, were issued and outstanding.  Units
are always treated for this purpose as having been outstanding for the entire
quarter regardless of when they were issued.  Consequently, limited partners
holding Units (which includes CPHC) on the applicable record date will receive
distributions of Available Cash in accordance with their percentage interests in
the Company for the entire quarter.  Limited partners holding Acquisition Units
on the applicable record date will receive distributions of Available Cash in
accordance with their percentage interests in the Company for the weighted
average number of days during that quarter for which such limited partners held
their Acquisition Units.  Holders of Acquisition Units who are admitted to the
Company between the end of a quarter and the record date applicable to
distributions for such quarter will not receive any distributions for the
preceding quarter, but will receive distributions of Available Cash with respect
to the portion of the quarter in which their Acquisition Units were issued.
Each Acquisition Unit will be converted automatically into a Unit on the day
immediately following the record date for distributions for the quarter in which
the Acquisition Units were issued.      
    
     Allocations of Income and Loss.  The Partnership Agreement provides that if
     ------------------------------                                             
the Company operates at a net loss, net losses shall be allocated to CPHC and
the limited partners in proportion to their respective percentage interests in
the Company, provided that net losses which would have the effect of creating a
deficit balance in a limited partner's capital account (as specially adjusted
for such purpose) ("Excess Losses") will be reallocated to CPHC, as general
partner of the Company.  The Partnership Agreement also provides that, if the
Company operates at a net profit, net income generally shall be allocated first
to CPHC to the extent of Excess Losses with respect to which CPHC has not
previously been allocated net income, and any remaining net income shall be
allocated in proportion to the respective percentage interests of CPHC and the
limited partners.      


                                      33
<PAGE>
 
Liability of General Partner and Limited Partners
    
     CPHC, as general partner of the Company, will be liable for all general
recourse obligations of the Company to the extent not paid by the Company.  CPHC
will not be liable for the nonrecourse obligations of the Company.      
    
     The limited partners of the Company will not be required to make additional
contributions to the Company.  Assuming that a limited partner does not take
part in the control of the business of the Company and otherwise acts in
conformity with the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the liability of
the limited partner for obligations of the Company under the Partnership
Agreement and the Act will be limited, subject to certain possible exceptions,
generally to the loss of the limited partner's investment in the Company
represented by his OP Units.  Under the Act, a limited partner may not receive a
distribution from the Company if, at the time of the distribution and after
giving effect thereto, the liabilities of the Company (other than liabilities to
parties on account of their interests in the Company and liabilities for which
recourse is limited to specified property of the Company) exceed the fair value
of the Company's assets (other than the fair value of any property subject to
nonrecourse liabilities of the Company but only to the extent of such
liabilities).  The Act provides that a limited partner who receives a
distribution knowing at the time that it violates the foregoing prohibition is
liable to the Company for the amount of the distribution.  Unless otherwise
agreed, such a limited partner will not be liable for the return of such
distribution after the expiration of three years from the date of such
distribution.      
    
     The Company is qualified to conduct business in Alabama, Florida and
Georgia, and may qualify to conduct business in the future in certain other
jurisdictions.  Maintenance of limited liability may require compliance with
certain legal requirements of those jurisdictions and certain other
jurisdictions.  Limitations on the liability of a limited partner for the
obligations of a limited partnership have not been clearly established in many
jurisdictions.  Accordingly, if it were determined that the right, or exercise
of the right by the limited partners, to make certain amendments to the
Partnership Agreement or to take other action pursuant to the Partnership
Agreement constituted "control" of the Company's business for the purposes of
the statutes of any relevant jurisdiction, the limited partners might be held
personally liable for the Company's obligations.  The Company will operate in a
manner that the general partner deems reasonable, necessary and appropriate to
preserve the limited liability of the limited partners.      

Sales of Assets
    
     Under the Partnership Agreement, CPHC generally has the exclusive authority
to determine whether, when and on what terms the assets of the Company will be
sold.  A sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (or a
merger of the Company with another entity), however, requires an affirmative
vote of three-fourths of the outstanding OP Units (including OP Units held by
CPHC).      
    
Removal of the General Partner; Transfer of the General Partner's Interest      
    
     The Partnership Agreement provides that the limited partners may not remove
CPHC as general partner of the Company.  CPHC may not transfer any of its
interests as general or limited partner in the Company except in connection with
a merger or sale of all or substantially all its assets.  CPHC also may not sell
all or substantially all of its assets, or enter into a merger unless the sale
or merger includes the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of, or the
merger of, the Company with partners of the Company receiving substantially the
same consideration as holders of Common Shares.      


                                      34
<PAGE>
 
Restrictions on Transfer of OP Units by Limited Partners
    
     Subject to compliance with federal and state securities law, limited
partners who hold Units and limited partners who hold Acquisition Units will be
permitted to transfer all or any portion of their OP Units without restriction
so long as they satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Partnership
Agreement.  All transfers of Units are subject to the requirement under the
Partnership Agreement that the holder obtain an opinion of legal counsel to the
Company that the transfer would not (a) result in the Company's being treated as
an association taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, or (b)
require the filing of a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
or otherwise violate any federal or state securities laws or regulations.  In
addition, no transfer may be effectuated through an "established securities
market" or a "secondary market (or the substantial equivalent thereof)" within
the meaning of the Code.  Limited partners who hold Acquisition Units (or Units
into which Acquisition Units were converted) will be subject, in addition to the
limitations set forth above, to such restrictions on transfer as may be set
forth in the contribution agreement or Partnership Agreement amendment pursuant
to which their capital contributions are to be made to the Company.      

     The right of any permitted transferee of OP Units to become a substitute
limited partner is subject to the consent of the general partner, which the
general partner may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.  If the
general partner does not consent to the admission of a transferee of OP Units as
a substitute limited partner, the transferee will succeed to all economic rights
and benefits attributable to such OP Units (including the right of redemption),
but will not become a limited partner or possess any other rights of limited
partners (including the right to vote).

Redemption of Units
    
     Subject to certain limitations, the Partnership Agreement permits limited
partners who hold Units (other than Units acquired upon conversion of
Acquisition Units) to require that the Company redeem their Units at any time by
notifying the Company.  Limited partners who hold Acquisition Units (or Units
into which Acquisition Units were converted) will not be permitted to redeem
their OP Units for at least one year following their admission to the Company or
such longer or shorter term as may be set forth in the contribution agreement
pursuant to which their capital contributions are made to the Company.  Unless
CPHC or Colonial elects to assume and perform the Company's redemption
obligation, as outlined below, the redeeming limited partner will receive cash
in an amount equal to the market value of the Units to be redeemed.  The market
value of a Unit for this purpose will be equal to the average of the closing
trading price of a Common Share (or substitute information, if no such closing
price is available) for the ten trading days before the day on which the
redemption notice was given. In lieu of the Company's redeeming Units, CPHC or
Colonial may elect to acquire the Units, for cash or a number of Common Shares
equal to the number of Units to be redeemed, directly from a limited partner
seeking a redemption and upon such acquisition, become the owner of the Units.
Although Colonial has no legal obligation to do so, Colonial currently intends
to exercise its right to issue Common Shares in exchange for any Units tendered
for redemption. Upon redemption or the direct acquisition of Units by CPHC or
the Company, the limited partner's right to receive distributions for the Units
redeemed will cease. At least 1,000 Units (or all Units owned by the limited
partner if less than 1,000 Units) must be redeemed each time the redemption
right is exercised. The redemption generally will occur on the tenth business
day after delivery of notice to the Company, except that no redemption can occur
if delivery of Common Shares would be prohibited under the provisions of
Colonial's declaration of trust designed to protect its qualification as a real
estate investment trust or would be prohibited under applicable securities law.
In this regard, members of the Lowder Family and entities that they control may
be prohibited from exercising their right to require the redemption of Units
that they hold if the issuance of Common Shares to them by Colonial would be
prohibited under the special restrictions contained in Colonial's declaration of
trust that are applicable to their acquisition and ownership of shares. No     

                                      35
<PAGE>
 
    
limited partner, by virtue of being the holder of one or more Units, will be
deemed to be a shareholder of or have any other interests in Colonial. In the
event of any change in the outstanding shares by reason of any share dividend,
split, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, combination, exchange of shares
or other similar change, the conversion factor shall be proportionately adjusted
so that one Unit remains exchangeable for one Common Share without dilution.
     
No Withdrawal by Limited Partners
    
     No limited partner has the right to withdraw from or reduce his or her
capital contribution to the Company, except as a result of the redemption or
transfer of his or her OP Units pursuant to the terms of the Partnership
Agreement.      

Issuance of Additional OP Units
    
     CPHC is authorized, without the consent of the limited partners, to cause
the Company to issue additional OP Units (including, without limitation, Units
or Acquisition Units) to itself, to the limited partners or to other persons for
such consideration and on such terms and conditions as CPHC deems appropriate.
If additional OP Units are issued to CPHC, then (i) Colonial must issue
additional Common Shares; (ii) Colonial must transfer to CPHC an amount equal to
the net proceeds raised in connection with the issuance of the Common Shares;
and (iii) CPHC, in turn, must transfer to the Company an amount equal to the
amount transferred to it by Colonial.  CPHC also may cause the Company to issue
to itself, to the limited partners or to other persons additional partnership
interests in different series or classes, which may be senior to the OP Units,
for such consideration, on such terms and conditions, and with such designations
and preferences as CPHC deems appropriate (provided, however, that if such
partnership interests are issued to CPHC, they must be issued in conjunction
with an offering of securities of Colonial having substantially similar rights,
and the proceeds thereof must be transferred to the Company in the manner
described in (ii) and (iii) of the preceding sentence).  Consideration for
additional partnership interests may be cash or any property or other assets
permitted by the Act.  No limited partner has preemptive, preferential or
similar rights with respect to additional capital contributions to the Company
or the issuance or sale of any partnership interests therein.      

Meetings; Voting
    
     The Partnership Agreement does not provide for annual meetings of the
limited partners, and CPHC does not anticipate calling such meetings.  Meetings
of the limited partners may be called only by CPHC, on its own motion or upon
written request of limited partners owning at least 20% of the OP Units.
Limited partners may vote either in person or by proxy at meetings.  Any action
that is required or permitted to be taken by the limited partners of the Company
may be taken either at a meeting of the limited partners or without a meeting if
consents in writing setting forth the action so taken are signed by limited
partners owning not less than the minimum number of OP Units that would be
necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting of the limited partners
at which all limited partners entitled to vote on such action were present.
Each limited partner (including CPHC to the extent it holds OP Units) will have
a vote equal to the number of OP Units he or she holds on matters on which
limited partners are entitled to vote.  A transferee of OP Units who has not
been admitted as a substitute limited partner of record with respect to such OP
Units will have no voting rights with respect to such OP Units, even if such
transferee holds other OP Units as to which it has been admitted as a limited
partner.      

Books and Reports

     The Company's books and records are maintained at the principal office of
the Company which is located at 2101 Sixth Avenue North, Suite 750, Birmingham,
Alabama 35203.

All elections and options available to the Company for Federal income tax
purposes may be taken or rejected by the Company in the sole discretion of CPHC,
as the general partner of the Company.      

Power of Attorney
    
     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, each limited partner and each
assignee appoints the general partner of the Company, any liquidator, and
authorized officers and attorneys-in-fact of each, and each of those acting
singly, in each case with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful
agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and
stead to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, among other
things, the Partnership Agreement (and amendments thereto as described below
under "--Amendment of the Partnership Agreement"), any certificates, documents
or instruments necessary or appropriate in connection with the existence of the
Company or the conduct of its business, or relating to the admission,
withdrawal, removal or substitution of any partner or to the determination of
the rights, preferences and privileges of partnership interests.  The
Partnership Agreement provides that such power of attorney is irrevocable, will
survive the incapacity of any limited partner or the transfer of any such
limited partner's Units and will extend to such limited partner's or assignee's
heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives.      
    
Amendment of the Partnership Agreement      
    
     Amendments to the Partnership Agreement may be proposed by CPHC or by
limited partners owning at least 20% of the OP Units.  Generally, the
Partnership Agreement may be amended with the approval of CPHC, as general
partner, and limited partners (including CPHC) holding a majority of the OP
Units.  Certain amendments that would, among other things, convert a limited
partner's interest into a general partner's interest; modify the limited
liability of a limited partner; alter the interest of a partner in profits or
losses, or the rights to receive any distributions; alter or modify the
redemption right described above; or cause the termination of the Company at a
time or on terms inconsistent with those set forth in the Partnership Agreement
must be approved by CPHC and each limited partner that would be adversely
affected by such amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, CPHC, as general
partner, will have the power, without the consent of the limited partners, to
amend the Partnership Agreement as may be required to (1) add to the obligations
of CPHC as general partner or surrender any right or power granted to CPHC as
general partner; (2) reflect the admission, substitution, termination or
withdrawal of partners in accordance with the terms of the Partnership
Agreement; (3) establish the rights, powers, duties and preferences of any
additional partnership interests issued in accordance with the terms of the
Partnership Agreement; (4) reflect a change of an inconsequential nature that
does not materially adversely affect the limited partners, or cure any
ambiguity, correct or supplement any provisions of the Partnership Agreement not
inconsistent with law or with other provisions of the Partnership Agreement, or
make other changes concerning matters under the Partnership Agreement that are
not otherwise inconsistent with the Partnership Agreement or law; or (5) satisfy
any requirements of federal or state law.  Certain provisions affecting the
rights and duties of CPHC as general partner (e.g., restrictions on CPHC's power
to conduct businesses other than owning Units) may not be amended without the
approval of a majority of the OP Units not held by CPHC.      

Dissolution, Winding Up and Termination
    
     The Company will continue until December 31, 2092, unless sooner dissolved
and terminated.  The Company will be dissolved prior to the expiration of its
term, and its affairs wound up upon the occurrence of the earliest of:  (1) the
withdrawal of CPHC as general partner without the permitted transfer of CPHC's
interest to a successor general partner (except in certain limited
circumstances); (2) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets
     

                                      37
<PAGE>
 
    
and properties; (3) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company
pursuant to the provisions of the Act or the entry of a final order for relief
in a bankruptcy proceeding of the general partner; (4) the entry of a final
judgment ruling that the general partner is bankrupt or insolvent; (5) (i) from
and after September 29, 1993 through December 31, 2013, an election by CPHC,
unless any limited partner who became a limited partner on September 29, 1993
and who holds Units issued at such time objects to such dissolution in writing,
(ii) from and after January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2043, an election by
CPHC, unless limited partners who became limited partners on September 29, 1993
and who hold at least five percent (5%) of the Units issued at such time object
to such dissolution in writing and (iii) on or after January 1, 2044, an
election by CPHC, in its sole and absolute discretion.  Upon dissolution, CPHC,
as general partner, or any liquidator will proceed to liquidate the assets of
the Company and apply the proceeds therefrom in the order of priority set forth
in the Partnership Agreement.      

Item 12.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
    
     In general, the Partnership Agreement provides for indemnification of each
Indemnitee (as hereinafter defined) from and against liability arising from any
and all claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings that relate to the
operations of the Company in which such Indemnitee may be involved, or is
threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, unless it is established
that:  (i) the act or omission of the Indemnitee was material to the matter
giving rise to the proceeding and either was committed in bad faith or was the
result of active and deliberate dishonesty; (ii) the Indemnitee actually
received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services; or 
(iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the Indemnitee had reasonable
cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. Under certain
circumstances, reasonable expenses incurred by an Indemnitee who is a party to a
proceeding may be paid or reimbursed by the Company in advance of the final
disposition of the proceeding. In general, an "Indemnitee" is (i) any person
made a party to a proceeding by reason of his status as (A) the general partner
(i.e., CPHC), (B) the sole shareholder of the general partner (i.e., Colonial),
(C) a director, trustee or officer of an entity described in (A) or (B), or (D)
a guarantor, pursuant to a guarantee given to a third party in connection with
any partnership property or loan, and (ii) such other person as the general
partner of the Company may designate from time to time in its sole and absolute
discretion.      
    
     Colonial's declaration of trust provides for indemnification of officers,
trustees, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Alabama Law.
In general, under Alabama Law, an Alabama real estate investment trust (an
"Alabama REIT") may indemnify its trustees, officers, employees and agents who
are made party to a proceeding because of such individual's status as a trustee,
officer, employee or agent from and against liability incurred in the proceeding
if:  (a) the individual conducted himself or herself in good faith; (b) the
individual reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in his or her official
capacity with the Alabama REIT, that the conduct was in its best interests, and
(ii) in all other cases, that the conduct was at least not opposed to its best
interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no
reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  Such
indemnification is not available, however, in connection with (1) a proceeding
by or in the right of the Alabama REIT in which the individual is adjudged
liable to the Alabama REIT, or (2) any other proceeding charging improper
personal benefit to the individual, whether or not involving action in his or
her official capacity, in which the individual was adjudged liable on the basis
that personal benefit was improperly received by him or her.  Under Alabama Law,
an Alabama REIT is required to indemnify a trustee, officer, employee or agent
who is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding,
or of any claim, issue or matter in such proceeding, where he or she was a party
because he or she is or was a trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Alabama
REIT, against recoverable expenses incurred in connection therewith,
notwithstanding that he or she was not successful on any other claim, issue or
matter in any such proceeding.  In addition, under certain circumstances, an
Alabama REIT may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a
trustee, officer, employee or agent who is a party to a proceeding in advance of
final disposition of the proceeding.

Note 1 -- Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial reporting and in conjunction with
the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information for the
year ended December 31, 1995 included in the Form 10 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on May 13, 1996. In the opinion of management, all

        On March 28, 1996, CRLP acquired two land parcels totaling 36 acres in 
Orlando, Florida. The purchase price for this land was $4 million. The property 
will be used to build 496 apartment units. The land acquisition was financed 
through proceeds from the Company's public offering of common shares in January 
1996 and advances on the CRLP's line of credit. Development expenditures related

credit as well.

bears interest at 6.875% and through advances on CRLP's line of credit.

        On April 30, 1996, CRLP acquired two multifamily communities located in 
Mobile, Alabama. The combined purchase price of $10.9 million was paid through 
the issuance of 182,804 limited partnership units at $24.00 per share, the 
assumption of $6.4 million of indebtedness at an interest rate of 7.125%, and 
through advances on CRLP's line of credit.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
Colonial Properties Holding Company, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Colonial Realty
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated and
combined statements of operations, Partners' capital and cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Colonial Realty
Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated and
combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

                      COLONIAL REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              ____________________

1.      Formation, Organization, and Basis of Presentation

    
        Formation and Organization--Colonial Realty Limited Partnership
("CRLP"), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on August 6, 1993 to
succeed as owner of substantially all of the predecessor interests of Colonial
Properties, Inc., Equity Partners Joint Venture, and Colonial Properties
Management Association, and certain real estate interests 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 ("Colonial") whose shares are listed on the
New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). Colonial 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.     
    
        Colonial manages CRLP through Colonial's wholly owned subsidiary,
Colonial Properties Holdings Company, Inc. ("CPHC"), which in turn owns
approximately 68% of the general and limited partnership interests in CRLP and
serves as the sole general partner of CRLP. The limited partners who hold
partnership units can require that CRLP redeem their partnership units. Unless
Colonial elects the right to issue common shares in exchange for these
partnership units, the redeeming limited partner will receive cash in an amount
equal to the market value of the partnership units to be redeemed. Colonial
currently intends to exercise its right to issue the common shares for these
redeemed partnership units.    
    
        On September 29, 1993 Colonial completed an initial public offering of
8,480,000 shares of its common shares of beneficial interest at $23.00 per
share.  Prior to or simultaneously with the closing of the public offering,
Colonial succeeded to substantially all of the interests of the Colonial Group
and to the development, acquisition, management, leasing, and brokerage
businesses of Colonial Properties, Inc., and acquired additional interests in
certain other properties from third-parties.  On October 29, 1993 Colonial
issued an additional 686,200 shares of beneficial interest pursuant to an over-
allotment option agreed to with the underwriters of the initial public 
offering.     

        Federal Income Tax Status--No provison for income taxes is provided
since all taxable income or loss or tax credits are passed through to the
partners.
    
        Colonial, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax
purposes, qualifies as a real estate investment trust 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 Colonial fails
to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, Colonial will be subject to federal
income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates.     
    
        Principles Of Consolidation and Combination--Subsequent to the formation
of Colonial, the consolidated financial statements include the CRLP and Colonial
Properties Services Limited Partnership (in which CRLP holds 99% general and
limited partner interests).    
    
        The accompanying combined financial statements for periods prior to the
formation of Colonial are presented on a combined basis because of common
ownership and management of the entities included.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination.  The combined
owners' deficit prior to the formation of Colonial represents the collective
partners' capital account balances of the partnerships included in the combined
financial statements and the retained earnings and contributed capital of
Colonial Properties, Inc.  These combined financial statements consist of the
accounts of the properties listed below which were under the common majority
ownership and control of the Colonial Group:

        Investments In Partnerships--Partnerships in which CRLP owns a fifty
percent 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.
Maintenance and repairs 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 mortgage costs is
recorded using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective
interest method, over the terms of the related mortgages. 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 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.

        Revenue Recognition--Rental income attributable to leases is recognized
on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

        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 at December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

        Recently Issued Accounting Standards--Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 (SFAS 121), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets, establishes guidance beginning in 1996 for recognizing and measuring
impairment losses and would require that the carrying amount of impaired assets
be reduced to fair value. Management does not believe that the adoption of SFAS
121 will have a material effect on the financial statements of CRLP.

3.      Property Acquisitions

        During 1995 CRLP acquired six properties at an aggregate cost of
approximately $68,365,000. CRLP used cash proceeds from Colonial's secondary
offering, advances on its bank lines of credit, and cash from operations to fund
these acquisitions.

        During 1994 CRLP acquired 20 properties at an aggregate cost of
approximately $331,016,000. CRLP used cash proceeds from the IPO, advances on
its bank lines of credit, cash from operations, and proceeds from the issuance
of limited partnership units to finance these acquisitions. A portion of the
purchase price of Rime Village-Huntsville was subject to adjustment during 1995,
based upon the operating results of the second phase of the property which was
in lease-up when it was acquired. The additional purchase price due to the
seller related to this property was paid through the issuance of 70,864
additional limited partnership units. The properties acquired during 1995 and
1994 are listed below:

        As of December 31, 1995 CRLP has four bank lines of credit and one
construction loan providing for total borrowings of up to $100,800,000. These
credit facilities are used primarily by CRLP to finance property acquisitions
and development. The significant terms of these credit facilities are shown

</TABLE> 

        The weighted average interest rate of short-term borrowings was 7.47%
and 7.08% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

        In February 1995 CRLP entered into a note payable agreement with
Nationwide Life Insurance Company (Nationwide) in the amount of $61,520,000. The
ten-year note requires monthly payments of interest only at 8.87% for the first
five years and monthly payments of interest only at a redetermined interest rate
for the remainder of the term. At the end of the first five years of the term,
CRLP may elect to repay the note without penalty. CRLP used the proceeds of the
note to meet the principal amount due on its $35 million line of credit and to
reduce the balance of its $75 million line of credit.

        CRLP has entered into interest rate cap agreements which limit debt of
$8,400,000 to an interest rate of 6.0% through September 30, 1996 and limit debt
of $17,800,000 to an interest rate of 5.96% through September 30, 1998.  CRLP
paid approximately $494,000 in total for the agreements, which is being
amortized over the life of the agreements.  CRLP is exposed to credit losses in
the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to its interest rate caps 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.

        In September 1993 CRLP prepaid interest on a mortgage payable with a
balance outstanding of $34,565,000 at December 31, 1995. CRLP paid approximately
$3,250,000 to reduce the effective interest rate on this loan from 9.5% to 6.0%.
This amount is being amortized over the 33-month period of prepayment.

        In December 1995 CRLP converted its $75,000,000 line of credit agreement
with SouthTrust Bank, agent bank, to an unsecured basis. The notes and mortgages
payable and the other revolving credit agreements are collateralized by the
assignment of rents and leases of certain properties and assets with net book
values as follows:
        

        Land, buildings, and equipment                          $431,257,000
        Undeveloped land and construction in progress             15,503,000

        The aggregate maturities of notes and mortgages payable at December 31,
1995 are as follows:

        1996                                                      39,107,699

                                                                $354,099,770
                                                                ============

        CRLP's notes and mortgages payable have been recently financed or are
covered by interest rate cap agreements, and as such, the balances outstanding
on these notes and mortgages are considered to be the fair values. CRLP's line
of credit arrangements bear interest at rates that vary with changes in LIBOR;
therefore, the balances outstanding are considered to be the fair value.
    
        Concurrent with Colonial's IPO, CRLP used $140,430,000 of the proceeds
to pay off notes and mortgages payable. CRLP recognized an extraordinary loss
from this early extinguishment of debt amounting to $7,284,000, which includes
prepayment penalties of $6,454,000 and the write-off of deferred debt costs of
$830,000.     

        Certain partners and trustees of CRLP have guaranteed indebtedness of
the CRLP totaling approximately $5,172,000 at December 31, 1995. CRLP has
indemnified these individuals from their guarantees of approximately $2,155,000
of this indebtedness.

8.      Employee Benefits
    
        Employees of CRLP have participated with those of Colonial Properties
Services, Inc. (CPSI) (an affiliate of Colonial) and The Colonial Company (TCC)
(an affiliate of certain limited partners) and its other related entities in a
noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the Old Plan) covering
substantially all employees. TCC's policy was to currently fund the amount of
pension cost allowed by the Internal Revenue Code. Pension expense includes
service and interest costs adjusted by actual earnings on plan assets and
amortization of prior service cost and the transition amount, calculated using
the guidelines of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87. The
benefits are based on years of service and the employees' final 
compensation.     

        The allocated pension cost of CRLP and CPSI, based on their portion of
total payroll expense, was $186,000 and $122,000 for the years ended December
31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These amounts were paid to The Colonial
Company.
    
        Effective January 1, 1995, Colonial created a new noncontributory
defined benefit pension plan designed to cover substantially all employees of
CRLP and CPSI (the New Plan). Therefore, these employees did not participate in
the pension plan mentioned above after December 31, 1994. The benefits provided
by the New Plan are based on years of service and the employee's final average
compensation. Colonial's policy is to fund the minimum required contribution
under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code.

        Fair value of assets at year end                                   $     358,000       $     223,000

        Net pension cost for the year                                      $     216,000       $     186,000

</TABLE> 

        Actuarial assumptions used in determining the actuarial present value of
projected benefit obligations at January 1, 1995 are as follows:

        Weighted-average interest rate                        7.0%      8.5%
        Increase in future compensation levels                4.0%      5.0%

        CRLP and CPSI also participated with TCC and its other related entities
in a salary reduction profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees.
This plan provided, with certain restrictions, that employees may contribute a
portion of their earnings with the employer matching one-half of such
contributions. Contributions by CRLP and CPSI were $108,000 and $102,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
    
        Effective January 1, 1995, Colonial also created a new salary reduction
profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees of CRLP and CPSI.
Similar to TCC's salary reduction profit sharing plan, this plan provides, with
certain restrictions, that employees may contribute a portion of their earnings
with the employer matching one-half of such contributions. Therefore, the
employees of CRLP and CPSI did not participate in the salary reduction profit
sharing plan mentioned above after December 31, 1994. Contributions by CRLP and
CPSI were $155,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995.     

9.  Leasing Operations

        CRLP is in the business of leasing and managing commercial, retail, and
residential property.  For properties owned by CRLP, minimum rentals due in
future periods under noncancelable operating leases extending beyond one year at
December 31, 1995 are as follows:


        1996                                                    $22,312,000

                                                               ============
        The noncancelable leases are primarily with tenants engaged in retail
and commercial operations in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. 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, 1995 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.

$2,524,000. The fees paid for the period September 29, 1993 to December 31, 1993
amounted to $193,000.     
        TCC has performed certain administrative services for CRLP including
payroll processing and computer processing. CRLP paid TCC $82,303 and $135,218

the equity method (listed in Note 6), in the amounts of $110,000, $115,000, and
$200,000 during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
        Colonial Commercial Investments, Inc. has guaranteed indebtedness
totaling $1,521,000 at December 31, 1995 for Anderson Block Properties, which is
a partnership accounted for by CRLP under the equity method (listed in Note 6).
CRLP has indemnified Colonial Commercial Investments, Inc. from its guarantees
of this indebtedness.
        In connection with the expansion development of the Inverness
multifamily property located in Mobile, Alabama, CRLP acquired land that was 50%
owned by Thomas, Robert, and James Lowder and 50% owned by a third-party. The
Lowder brothers received 14,025 limited partnership units having a deemed value
of $302,000. The Lowder Construction Company, Inc., of which James Lowder is
chairman of the board, was engaged to serve as the construction manager for the
project.
    
        In December 1994 CRLP acquired, in exchange for units of limited
partnership interest ("Units"), ten multifamily properties developed and owned
by The Rime Companies, in which Messrs. Ripps and Meisler owned an interest.
Subsequent to the acquisition, Messrs. Ripps and Meisler were elected to serve
on the board of trustees of Colonial. The acquisition agreements relating to the
acquisition transaction provided for the possible issuance of additional Units
to the owners of The Rime Companies if one of the properties met certain
performance criteria after the acquisition. During 1995 CRLP issued 33,661 Units
to Mr. Ripps and 33,660 Units to the adult children of Mr. Meisler, pursuant to
these acquisition agreements.     
    
11.  Subsequent Event
        On January 25, 1996, the Trustees declared a cash distribution to
partners of CRLP in the amount of $.50 per unit, totaling $12,889,000. The
distribution was made to partners of record as of February 2, 1996, and was paid
on February 12, 1996.

                                  THE COMPANY

  The Company is one of the largest owners, developers and operators of
multifamily, retail and office properties in the southeastern United States.
The Company has been engaged in the multifamily, retail and office property
business for over 25 years.  It is a fully-integrated real estate company, whose
activities include ownership of a diversified portfolio of 61 properties located
in Alabama, Florida and Georgia, development of new properties, acquisitions of
existing properties, build-to-suit development and the provision of management,
leasing and brokerage services for commercial real estate. The Company's primary
markets in the Southeast are generally characterized by high population and
employment rates.

  The Company, through CPHC, is the sole general partner of, and, as of November
30, 1995, held approximately 62% of the interests in, the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership owns all of the Properties (or interests therein).
The Company conducts all of its business through CPHC, the Operating Partnership
and the Company's two management subsidiaries, the Management Partnership, which
provides management services for the Company's Properties, and the Management
Corporation, which provides management services for properties owned by third
parties.  As sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company,
through CPHC, has the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of
the Operating Partnership, subject to certain limited exceptions.

  Through the Operating Partnership, the Company has significantly expanded its
multifamily and retail property holdings through acquisitions and development.
Additional information regarding the Company's operating and business strategies
is provided below.


Operating Strategy

  The Company is organized into three distinct operating divisions--multifamily,
retail and office--each of which is responsible for the management and leasing
of its respective property types. The Company 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 relating
to the Properties. In addition, the third-party management, leasing and
brokerage businesses have provided the Company both with a source of cash flow
that is relatively stable and with the benefits of economies of scale in
conjunction with the management and leasing of its own properties. These
businesses also allow the Company to establish additional relations with tenants
that may require additional retail or office space and to identify potential
acquisitions. Additional information with respect to each of the operating
divisions is set forth below.

  Multifamily Division.   The multifamily division of the Company is responsible
for all aspects of the Company's multifamily operations, including day-to-day
management and leasing of the 33 Multifamily Properties, as well as development
and acquisition of additional multifamily properties. The multifamily division
also is responsible for the provision of third-party management services for
apartment communities in which the Company does not have an interest. The
multifamily division currently has approximately 283 employees, most of whom are
located at the Multifamily Property sites and a small number of whom are located
in Birmingham, Alabama and in regional offices in Mobile, Alabama and Lake Mary
(Orlando) and Tampa, Florida.

  Retail Division.   The Company's retail division is responsible for all
aspects of the Company's retail operations, including the provision of
management, leasing, and brokerage services for the 18 Retail Properties, as
well as the development and acquisition of additional retail properties. The
retail division also is responsible for the provision of third-party management
services for retail properties in which the Company does not have an interest.
The retail division has regional offices in Huntsville and Montgomery, Alabama
and Orlando, Florida and satellite leasing offices in two cities in central
Florida. The retail division currently has approximately 163 employees.

Exhibit 99.5

  Office Division.  The Company's office division is responsible for all aspects
of the Company's commercial office operations, including the provision of
management, leasing, and brokerage services for the ten Office Properties, as
well as the development and acquisition of additional office properties. The
office division also is responsible for the provision of third-party management
services for office properties in which the Company does not have an interest.
The office division currently has approximately 30 employees located in
Birmingham, Alabama and in regional offices in Huntsville and Montgomery,
Alabama and Orlando, Florida.


Business Strategy

  The general business strategy of the Company is to generate stable and
increasing cash flow and portfolio value for its shareholders. The Company has
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 mid-sized
growth markets located in the southeastern United States where the Company has
first-hand knowledge of growth patterns and local economic conditions and
generally has a competitive advantage due to its size and access to lower-cost
capital, (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 its 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. The Company plans to continue the
implementation of these business strategies while capitalizing on what it
believes are its competitive advantages in the real estate marketplace. These
competitive advantages include the following:

  Regional Focus.   All of the Company's Properties are located in Alabama,
Florida and Georgia, and primarily in mid-sized cities in those states.  By
focusing on the southeastern United States in general, and these three states in
particular, the Company believes that it has been able to maintain a strong
market presence in and an in-depth knowledge of each of its primary markets. The
Company believes this focus enables it to better understand and respond to
market and submarket conditions and to attract new residents or tenants because
of the Company's name recognition.

  Diversity of Product.   The Company has maintained operations in three major
real estate industry segments-multifamily, retail and office-for over 25 years.
The Company's operations in these three segments are conducted through three
distinct divisions, each of which is independently operated and staffed with
management and staff personnel that have specialized experience in that market
segment. See "The Company--Operating Strategy." The Company believes that its
diversified operations create cross-selling opportunities between the office and
retail divisions, give it more in-depth knowledge of local real estate markets,
and may minimize the effect on the Company of cyclical swings associated with
specific property types.

  Experienced Management.   The Company believes that strong, experienced
leadership, particularly in the management and leasing area, is critical to the
success of a fully-integrated real estate company.  The Company's President and
its principal executive officers all have extensive experience (an average of 21
years) in the real estate industry in the southeastern United States, and have
established numerous contacts throughout the industry through leadership of
various local and national chapters of real estate associations.  The Company
believes that the experience of its management team gives it an advantage over
less experienced competitors in its primary markets.  In addition, the Company
is committed to a continuing education program that encourages its employees to
attain recognized, professional designations.

  Long-Term Relationships.   The Company's predecessor, Colonial Properties,
Inc., and Thomas Lowder have been actively engaged in the real estate business
in the southeastern United States for over 25 years.  Thomas Lowder and his
brother, James, have close ties to this region and are established members of
the local and regional business communities. Through their extensive business
dealings in the region, Colonial and the Lowder family have developed a number
of long-term business relationships with tenants and real estate owners, as well
as contractors, suppliers, professionals and lenders, in the Southeast. The
Company

                                      S-8

believes that these relationships result in cost savings due to reduced
tenant turnover and fewer management terminations, enable the Company to obtain
favorable terms for services, goods and loans and provide the Company with
access to additional business opportunities.

                VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

  The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership
of Common Shares as of March 8, 1996 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.  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.

Defined Benefit Plan

  The Company has adopted a Retirement Plan (the "Plan") for all of the
employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.  The Plan also has been adopted
by the Management Corporation.  An employee becomes eligible to participate in
the Plan on January 1 of the year following the person's employment by the
Company or one of its consolidated or unconsolidated subsidiaries.  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.

  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 $150,000 in 1996.  This limit is scheduled to increase
periodically with the cost of living.

  Covered compensation under the Plan includes only the employees' base salary.
Thomas H. Lowder has 21 years of covered service under the Plan, Howard B.
Nelson, Jr. has 11 years of service, Charles A. McGehee has 18 years, Jeffrey L.
Shuster has nine years and John N. Hughey has 13 years.

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 is for
a term of three years, and 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.
