                 KOGER EQUITY ANNOUNCES SALE OF 3,000,000 SHARES



JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, October 10, 1996 -- Koger Equity, Inc. (ASE:KE) announced
today  that it has  completed  a private  placement  of 3 million  shares of its
common stock to an affiliate of Apollo Real Estate  Investment Fund II, L.P. for
an aggregate  sales price of $43.5 million.  The Company will apply the proceeds
from this sale to the repayment of indebtedness and other corporate purposes. As
a part of the agreement  between Apollo and Koger, the Company has increased the
size of its Board from eight  members to twelve  members.  The four new  members
include J. C. Teagle,  the Company's Chief Operating  Officer,  and three Apollo
designees, William L. Mack, Lee S. Neibart, and W. Edward Scheetz.

After this  purchase  and the exercise of options to acquire  additional  shares
from certain existing  shareholders,  Apollo will own approximately 22.6% of the
outstanding  shares of the  Company.  Apollo also has the right to increase  its
share ownership up to 25% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

Victor A. Hughes,  Jr.,  Chairman of the Board and CEO of Koger said, "I am very
enthusiastic   about  having  Apollo  as  a  strategic   investor.   The  Apollo
organization has considerable  real estate expertise with the ability to enhance
the Company's own capabilities in identifying  attractive real estate investment
opportunities.  They have a demonstrated track record of successful investing in
public real estate companies,  especially in Koger Equity's markets. This equity
infusion,  in  combination  with the  restructuring  of our long  term  debt and
establishment of a revolving  credit facility,  both of which are expected to be
completed by year-end,  will provide Koger Equity with a stronger balance sheet,
greater financial flexibility, and increasing opportunities for growth."

Ed Scheetz of Apollo said,  "We are pleased to have the  opportunity to increase
our  investment  in Koger.  We  believe  the  Company  is  extraordinarily  well
positioned to capitalize on development and acquisition growth  opportunities in
the attractive Southeast and Southwest markets."

Bear Stearns & Co., Inc. acted as Apollo's financial advisor with respect to the
transaction. David Hiley, a Koger Director, and Rothschild Realty, Inc. acted as
advisors to Koger Equity for the transaction.
