INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Koger Equity, Inc.
Jacksonville, Florida

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Koger
Equity, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of March 31, 1997, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, the condensed consolidated statement of
changes in shareholders' equity for the three month period ended March 31, 1997
and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and of making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to such condensed consolidated financial statements for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31,
1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein); and in our report dated February 28, 1997, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of December 31, 1996 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation
to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

                       KOGER EQUITY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS
                          ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
                (UNAUDITED - SEE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT)

     1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Koger Equity, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries
(the "Company"). All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission related to interim
financial statements.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996,
included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 1996. The balance sheet at December 31, 1996, has been derived from the
audited financial statements at that date and is condensed.

All adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the
interim periods have been made. Results of operations for the three month period
ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1997 presentation.

     2. ORGANIZATION. Koger Equity, Inc. ("KE"), a Florida corporation, was
incorporated in 1988 for the purpose of investing in the ownership of income
producing properties, primarily commercial office buildings. KE is totally
self-administered and self-managed.

In addition to managing its own properties, KE, through certain related
entities, provides property management services to third parties. In conjunction
with Koger Real Estate Services, Inc. ("KRES"), a Florida corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of KE, KE manages 21 office buildings owned by Centoff
Realty Company, Inc. ("Centoff"), a subsidiary of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company
of New York.

     3. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. The Company is operated in a manner so as to
qualify and has elected tax treatment as a real estate investment trust under
the Code (a "REIT"). As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute annually
at least 95 percent of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders. Since the
Company had no REIT taxable income during 1996 and does not expect to have REIT
taxable income during 1997, no provision has been made for Federal income taxes.
To the extent that the Company pays dividends equal to 100 percent of REIT
taxable income, the earnings of the Company are not taxed at the corporate
level. However, the use of net operating loss carryforwards, which may reduce
REIT taxable income to zero, are limited for alternative minimum tax purposes.

     4. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS. Cash in excess of daily requirements is
invested in short-term monetary securities. Such temporary cash investments have
an original maturity date of less than three months and are deemed to be cash
equivalents for purposes of the statements of cash flows. During the three month
period ended March 31, 1997, the Company contributed 23,657 shares of common
stock to the Company's 401(K) Plan. These shares had a value of approximately



                                        7

<PAGE>   9



$444,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the
American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1996. In addition, the Company issued
15,455 shares of common stock as payment for certain 1996 bonuses for senior
management. These shares had a value of approximately $278,000 based on the
closing price of the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange on
January 6, 1997. During the three month period ended March 31, 1996, the Company
contributed 43,804 shares of common stock to the Company's 401(K) Plan. These
shares had a value of approximately $465,000 based on the closing price of the
Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1995.

     5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE. Earnings per common share have been computed
based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock
equivalents outstanding during the applicable periods.

     6. MORTGAGES AND LOANS PAYABLE. At March 31, 1997, the Company had
$202,250,000 of loans outstanding, which are collateralized by mortgages on
certain operating properties.

Annual maturities for mortgages and loans payable, which are gross of $345,000
of discounts, are as follows (in thousands):

     7. DIVIDENDS. The Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share on
February 10, 1997, to shareholders of record on January 6, 1997. During the
quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share payable on May 6, 1997, to shareholders of
record on April 4, 1997. The Company currently expects that all dividends paid
during 1997 will be treated as ordinary income for income tax purposes.

     8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS. On April 7, 1997, the Company closed on a $50 million
secured revolving credit facility provided by First Union National Bank of
Florida and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. Based on the Company's
election, the interest rate on this revolving credit facility will be either (i)
the lender's LIBOR rate plus 200 basis points or (ii) the lender's prime rate.
Interest payments will be due monthly on this revolving credit facility which
has a term of two years. At the election of the lender, the term of this credit
facility may be extended for additional periods of one year each. This credit
facility will require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.

On May 2, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up
to one million shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"). On that
date, 372,000 Shares were repurchased by the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q, and the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the period ended December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Rental revenues totalled $25,383,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $23,985,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The increase in
rental revenues resulted primarily from increases in the percent leased rate and
the Company's average rental rate. At March 31, 1997, the Company's buildings
were on average 92 percent leased with an average rental rate of $14.37.

Management fee revenues totalled $641,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997,
compared to $528,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. This increase was due
primarily to (i) a leasing commission earned by KRES and (ii) an increase in
fees earned under the management contract with Centoff.

Property operating expenses include such charges as utilities, taxes,
janitorial, maintenance, provision for uncollectible rents and management costs.
The amounts of property operating expenses and their percentages of total rental
revenues for the applicable periods are as follows:

   March 31, 1996 - Quarter          $9,919,000              41.2%
</TABLE>

Depreciation expense has been calculated on the straight line method based upon
the useful lives of the Company's depreciable assets, generally 3 to 40 years.
Depreciation expense increased $397,000 for the three month period ended March
31, 1997, compared to the same period last year, due to improvements made to the
Company's existing properties during 1996. Amortization expense increased
$49,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same
period last year, due primarily to deferred financing costs which were incurred
during 1996 for the mortgage with The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company
("Northwestern").

Interest expense decreased by $803,000, during the three month period ended
March 31, 1997, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the
reduction in the average balance of mortgages and loans payable. At March 31,
1997, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's outstanding debt was
approximately 8.4 percent.

General and administrative expenses for the three month periods ended March 31,
1997 and 1996, totalled $1,363,000 and $1,466,000, respectively, which is 0.9
percent and 1.0 percent (annualized) of average invested assets. This decrease
is primarily due to the decrease in professional fees incurred.

Direct costs of management contracts increased $145,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1997, compared to the same period last year, due to
increased costs associated with providing property management services for all
management contracts.

Based on the proceeds received from the sale of the Miami land parcel and the
Company's analysis of the fair value of the remaining land parcels held for
sale, the Company reversed $381,000 of the provision for loss on land held for
sale which had been previously recorded.

Net income totalled $5,693,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, compared to
net income of $3,016,000 for the corresponding period of 1996. This improvement
is due to the increase in rental revenues and the reduction in interest expense.
These items were partially offset by the increases in (i) depreciation and
amortization expense and (ii) direct cost of management fees.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.

     OPERATING ACTIVITIES - During the three months ended March 31, 1997, the
Company generated approximately $9.6 million in net cash from operating
activities. The Company's primary internal sources of cash are (i) the
collection of rents from buildings owned by the Company and (ii) the receipt of
management fees paid to the Company in respect of properties managed on behalf
of Centoff and others. As a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, the Company is
required to pay out annually, as dividends, 95 percent of its REIT taxable
income (which, due to non-cash charges, including depreciation and net operating
loss carryforwards, may be substantially less than cash flow). In the past, the
Company has paid out dividends in amounts at least equal to its REIT taxable
income. The Company believes that its cash provided by operating activities will
be sufficient to cover debt service payments and to pay the dividends required
to maintain REIT status through 1997.

The level of cash flow generated by rents depends primarily on the occupancy
rates of the Company's buildings and changes in rental rates on new and renewed
leases and under escalation provisions in existing leases.

At March 31, 1997, leases representing approximately 20.9 percent of the gross
annual rent from the Company's properties, without regard to the exercise of
options to renew, were due to expire during the remainder of 1997. This
represents 954 leases for space in buildings located in all of the 17 centers in
which the Company owns buildings. Certain of these tenants may not renew their
leases or may reduce their demand for space. During the three months ended March
31, 1997, leases were renewed on approximately 81 percent of the Company's net
rentable square feet which were scheduled to expire during the three month
period. For those leases which renewed during the three months ended March 31,
1997, the average rental rate increased from $14.16 to $15.86. However, current
market conditions in certain markets may require that rental rates at which
leases are renewed or at which vacated space is leased be lower than rental
rates under existing leases. Based upon the significant number of leases which
will expire during 1997 and the competition for tenants in the markets in which
the Company operates, the Company has and expects to continue to offer
incentives to certain new and renewal tenants. These incentives may include the
payment of tenant improvements costs and in certain markets reduced rents during
initial lease periods.

The Company continues to benefit from improving economic conditions and reduced
vacancy levels for office buildings in many of the metropolitan areas in which
the Company owns buildings. The Company believes that the southeastern and
southwestern regions of the United States provide



                                       10

<PAGE>   12



significant economic growth potential due to their diverse regional economies,
expanding metropolitan areas, skilled work force and moderate labor costs.
However, the Company cannot predict whether such economic growth will continue.
Cash flow from operations could be reduced if economic growth were not to
continue in the Company's markets and if this resulted in lower occupancy rates
for the Company's buildings.

Governmental tenants (including the State of Florida and the United States
Government) which account for approximately 23.9 percent of the Company's leased
space at March 31, 1997, may be subject to budget reductions in times of
recession and governmental austerity measures. Consequently, there can be no
assurance that governmental appropriations for rents may not be reduced.
Additionally, certain of the private sector tenants which have contributed to
the Company's rent stream may reduce their current demands, or curtail their
future need, for additional office space.

     INVESTING ACTIVITIES - At March 31, 1997, substantially all of the
Company's invested assets were in real properties. Improvements to the Company's
existing properties have been financed through internal operations. During the
three month period ended March 31, 1997, the Company's expenditures for
improvements to existing properties remained basically unchanged from the
corresponding period of the prior year.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1997, the Company sold 8.1 acres of
unimproved land located in Miami, Florida for approximately $2,910,000, net of
selling costs.

The Company has two buildings under construction which will contain
approximately 106,000 net rentable square feet. Expenditures for construction of
these two buildings are expected to total approximately $7.6 million, excluding
land and tenant improvement costs.

The Company expects to acquire approximately $14 million of office buildings and
related land during May, 1997.

     FINANCING ACTIVITIES - On April 7, 1997, the Company closed on a $50
million secured revolving credit facility provided by First Union National Bank
of Florida and Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. In addition, the
Company has a cash balance of $41.8 million at March 31, 1997.

On May 2, 1997, the Company's Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up
to one million shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"). On that
date, the Company repurchased 372,000 Shares for approximately $5.7 million.

Loan maturities and normal amortization of mortgages and loans payable are
expected to total approximately $11.5 million over the next 12 months. The
Company plans to draw $8.3 million of the remaining Northwestern loan proceeds
when existing indebtedness on a building matures during August 1997 and believes
that the remainder of these obligations will be paid from cash provided by
operations or from current cash balances. Significant maturities of the
Company's mortgages and loans payable do not begin to occur until 2006. On
August 22, 1994, the Company filed a shelf registration statement with respect
to the possible issuance of up to $100 million of its common and/or preferred
stock. The Company has not yet issued any equity under such registration
statement.

(1)      The percent leased rates have been calculated by dividing total net
         rentable square feet leased in an office building by net rentable
         square feet in such building, which excludes public or common areas.

(2)      Rental rates are computed by dividing (a) total annualized rents for a
         center as of March 31, 1997 by (b) the net rentable square feet
         applicable to such total annualized rents.

(b)  The following schedule sets forth for all of the Company's office buildings
     (i) the number of leases which will expire during the remainder of calender
     year 1997 and calendar years 1998 through 2005, (ii) the total net rentable
     area in square feet covered by such leases, (iii) the percentage of total
     net rentable square feet represented by such leases, (iv) the average
     annual rent per square foot for such leases, (v) the current annual rental
     represented by such leases, and (vi) the percentage of gross annual rental
     contributed by such leases. This information is based on the buildings
     owned by the Company on March 31, 1997 and on the terms of leases in effect
     as of March 31, 1997, on the basis of then existing base rentals, and
     without regard to the exercise of options to renew. Furthermore, the
     information below does not reflect that some leases have provisions for
     early termination for various reasons, including, in the case of government
     entities, lack of budget appropriations. Leases were renewed on
     approximately 81 percent of the Company's net rentable square feet which
     were scheduled to expire during the three month period ended March 31,
     1997.
