Item 2.     Acquisition or Disposition of Assets


      Colonial  Realty Limited  Partnership  (the Company),  a Delaware  limited
partnership,  is  the  "operating  partnership"  of  Colonial  Properties  Trust
(Colonial),  an Alabama real estate  investment  trust whose  common  shares are
listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol CLP. During September and
October of 1996 the Company  acquired  one  multifamily  apartment  community in
Macon,  Georgia  and three  retail  shopping  centers  in Central  Florida  (the
Acquired Properties). The terms of the acquisitions,  which were determined as a
result of arms length negotiations between the sellers of the properties and the
Company,  are set forth in Real Estate  Sales  Contracts  (the  Contracts).  The
following  summary of the material terms of the transactions is qualified in its
entirety by the terms of the transactions as set forth in the Contracts.


Terms of Acquisition

The  acquisitions  total 176 apartment  units and 589,000  square feet of retail
space and were purchased at a combined  purchase  price of $56.6 million.  These
acquisitions  increase the Company's  multifamily  portfolio to 13,039 apartment
units  (including  1,150  units  in  Georgia),  increase  the  Company's  retail
portfolio to 5.7 million  square feet,  and  increase  the  Company's  expanding
retail  presence in central  Florida to 2.1 million  square feet. In association
with one of the shopping  centers,  the Company assumed an existing  mortgage of
$10.4 million.  The remainder of the purchase  price of the Acquired  Properties
was financed through advances on the Company's line of credit.

                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners
Colonial Realty Limited Partnership

We have audited the Historical Summary of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses
of the  Acquired  Property--Wekiva  RiverWalk  as defined in Note 1 for the year
ended December 31, 1995. This Historical  Summary is the  responsibility  of the
Acquired Property's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
the Historical Summary based on our audit.

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

The accompanying  Historical  Summary of Revenues and Direct Operating  Expenses
was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and  regulations of the
Securities  and Exchange  Commission  for  inclusion in the Form 8-K of Colonial
Realty Limited Partnership, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of
the revenues and expenses of the Acquired Property--Wekiva RiverWalk.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material  respects,  the revenues and direct operating  expenses of the Acquired
Property  for the year ended  December  31, 1995 in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated  condensed balance sheet reflects
significant  transactions  effected by Colonial Realty Limited Partnership after
September  30,  1996  including  the  purchase  of three  of the  four  Acquired
Properties  mentioned elsewhere herein. (One of the four Acquired Properties was
purchased prior to September 30, 1996 and is already  reflected in the Company's
historical  balance  sheet at  September  30,  1996.) In  addition  to the three
Acquired  Properties,  the unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  balance
sheet  reflects a public  offering of debt proposed for December  1996.  The pro
forma  effects of these  transactions  are included in the  unaudited  pro forma
consolidated  condensed  balance sheet assuming the transactions had occurred as
of  September  30, 1996 and  assuming  the Company used the proceeds of the debt
offering to repay  outstanding  indebtedness.  (See notes to unaudited pro forma
consolidated condensed balance sheet).

This unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed balance sheet is not necessarily
indicative of the actual financial  position of the Company had the transactions
been  completed as of September  30, 1996,  nor does it purport to represent the
future financial  position of the Company.  The unaudited pro forma consolidated
condensed balance sheet and related notes should be read in conjunction with the
information  in the  Company's  General Form for  Registration  of Securities as
filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on Form 10/A on July 5, 1996
and the  Company's  historical  financial  position as of September  30, 1996 as
filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on Form 10-Q on November 14,
1996. In management's  opinion, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects
of these transactions have been made.

                                 (Unaudited)


The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   condensed   statements  of
operations reflect significant  transactions effected by Colonial Realty Limited
Partnership  during  1995 and  1996  which  includes  the  purchase  of the four
Acquired  Properties  mentioned  elsewhere  herein.  In addition to the Acquired
Properties,   the  following  significant  transactions  are  reflected  in  the
unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  statements of operations:  (i) the
Company's  acquisition  of  six  properties  during  1995,  (ii)  the  Company's
acquisition  of seven  properties  during  1996  other  than  the four  Acquired
Properties,  (iii) Colonial's equity offerings completed in May 1995 and January
1996, the proceeds of which were contributed to the Company,  (iv) the Company's
debt  offering  completed  in July 1996,  and (v) the  Company's  debt  offering
proposed for December 1996. The pro forma effects of all such  transactions  are
included  in the  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated  condensed  statements  of
operations  assuming  the  transactions  had  occurred as of January 1, 1995 and
assuming the Company used the proceeds of the equity and debt offerings to repay
outstanding  indebtedness.  (See  notes  to  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated
condensed statements of operations).

These unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  statements of operations are
not  necessarily  indicative  of  the  actual  results  of  operations  had  the
transactions  been  completed  as of  January 1,  1995,  nor do they  purport to
represent the future  results of the  operations of the Company.  The Company is
not aware of any material  factors  relating to the Acquired  Properties,  other
than as  disclosed  in the  footnotes to the  unaudited  pro forma  consolidated
condensed  statements of operations,  which would cause the combined  historical
summaries  of  revenue  and  direct  operating  expenses  not to be  necessarily
indicative of future operating results.

The  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  condensed  statements of operations  and
related  notes  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  information  in the

</TABLE>

     (1) The excess of  revenues  over direct  operating  expenses is based upon
         historical operations for the seventeen properties acquired during 1995
         and 1996 for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine months ended
         September  30,  1996,  as  contained  in the  Historical  Summaries  of
         Revenues and Direct Operating  Expenses  included  elsewhere herein for
         the  property  whose  December  31, 1995  financial  results  have been
         audited.

     (2) The asset  basis used in the  computation  of  depreciation  includes a
         preliminary   allocation   of  the   purchase   price  to  land,   land
         improvements,  building, and personal property,  plus acquisition costs
         to date. Such allocation may be adjusted  pending receipt of additional
         information.  Depreciation  has been  computed  using the straight line
         method with cost recovery periods of 7 to 40 years.

     (3) Includes  interest  expense  incurred  from  sources  of funds  used to
         finance the acquisition of the Acquired  Properties  including advances
         on the Company's unsecured line of credit

(C)  Reflects the net effect of the  application of the equity and debt offering
     proceeds  to repay  the  revolving  debt  incurred  in the  acquisition  of
     properties  and mortgage  debt.  The interest  saved from this repayment of
     debt is shown net of interest  expense  arising from debt incurred from the
     debt offerings.
