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 September 30, 1999, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, the condensed consolidated
statement of changes in shareholders' equity for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for
the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998. 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,
1998, 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 12, 1999, 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, 1998 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 AND NINE MONTH PERIODS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998
(UNAUDITED - SEE INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Koger Equity, Inc., its wholly-owned
subsidiaries and Koger - Vanguard Partners, L.P. (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, 1998,
included in the Company's Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 1998. The balance sheet at December 31, 1998, 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 nine month
period ended September 30, 1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.
Certain 1998 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 1999 presentations.
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. Koger - Vanguard Partners, L.P. ("KVP") is
a Delaware limited partnership, for which KE is the general partner.
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 16 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 Internal Revenue 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 1998 and does
not expect to have REIT taxable income during 1999, no provision has been made
for Federal income taxes. However, the Company has recorded a provision of
$60,000 for alternative minimum tax for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999. 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 nine
month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company contributed 15,603 shares of
common stock to the Company's 401(k) Plan. These shares had a value of
approximately $268,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock
on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1998. In addition, the Company
issued 19,695 shares of common stock as payment for certain 1998 bonuses for
senior management. These shares had a value of approximately $285,000 based on
the closing price of the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange
on February 18, 1999. During the nine month period ended September 30, 1998,
the Company contributed 9,197 shares of common stock to the Company's 401(k)
Plan. These shares had a value of
7
<PAGE> 9
approximately $202,000 based on the closing price of the Company's common stock
on the American Stock Exchange on December 31, 1997. During January 1998, the
Company assumed a mortgage loan with an outstanding balance of approximately
$8,501,000 in conjunction with the acquisition of an office building.
5. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE. Basic earnings per common share has been
computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock
outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share is similar to
basic earnings per share except that the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common
shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive common shares (options)
had been issued. The treasury stock method is used to calculate dilutive shares
which reduces the gross number of dilutive shares by the number of shares
purchasable from the proceeds of the options assumed to be exercised.
6. MORTGAGES AND LOANS PAYABLE. At September 30, 1999, the Company had
$305,992,000 of loans outstanding, which are collateralized by mortgages on
certain operating properties. Annual maturities for mortgages and loans payable
are as follows (in thousands):

7. DIVIDENDS. The Company paid the following dividends during the nine

August 5, 1999 June 30, 1999 0.35
</TABLE>
During the quarter ended September 30, 1999, the Company's Board of Directors
declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.35 per share payable on November 4, 1999,
to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 30, 1999. The
Company currently expects that all dividends paid during 1999 will be treated
as ordinary income to the recipient for income tax purposes.
8. SUBSEQUENT EVENT. On November 1, 1999, the Company acquired (i) two
buildings, containing approximately 301,600 square feet, located in Orlando,
Florida for a purchase price of $41 million and (ii) two buildings, containing
approximately 189,600 square feet, located in Charlotte, North Carolina for a
purchase price of $23.1 million. These properties were acquired from Crescent
Resources, Inc.
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, 1998.

<PAGE> 10
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Rental and other rental services revenues totaled $39,157,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 1999, compared to $34,476,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1998. This increase in rental revenues resulted primarily from
(i) increases in the Company's average rental rate and (ii) increases in rental
revenues ($4,182,000) from the properties acquired and construction completed
during 1998 and 1999. These items were partially offset by the sale of the
Jacksonville Central Center and the Charlotte East Center on August 31, 1999.
At September 30, 1999, the Company's buildings were on average 92 percent
leased with an average rental rate of $16.81. Rental and other rental services
revenues increased to $116,340,000 during the nine month period ended September
30, 1999, compared to $97,195,000 during the same period last year. This
increase resulted primarily from (i) increases in the Company's average rental
rate and (ii) increases in rental revenues ($14,809,000) from the properties
acquired and construction completed during 1998 and 1999. These items were
partially offset by the sale of the Jacksonville Central Center and the
Charlotte East Center on August 31, 1999.
Management fee revenues totaled $641,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1999, compared to $547,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. This
increase was due primarily to an increase in construction management fees
earned. Compared to the prior year, management fee revenues remained basically
unchanged for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. During March 1999,
Centoff sold one of the centers for which the Company had provided property
management services. The Company earned management fee revenues totaling
$194,000 for the management and leasing of this property during 1999. Another
agreement to manage one commercial office building was terminated by the
Company during February 1999. The Company earned fees of $82,000 for the
management of this building during 1999.
Income from Koger Realty Services, Inc. totaled $471,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1999, compared to $207,000 for the quarter ended September 30,
1998. This increase was due primarily to (i) the decreased accrual for
compensation expense related to a bonus plan which is based on KE's common
stock price and (ii) a decrease in general and administrative expenses. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1999, income from Koger Realty Services, Inc.
declined $145,000, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to the
increased accrual for compensation expense related to a bonus plan.
Property operations expense includes such charges as utilities, real estate
taxes, janitorial, maintenance, property insurance, provision for uncollectible
rents and management costs. The amount of property operations expense and its
percentage of total rental revenues for the applicable periods are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PERCENT OF
TOTAL RENTAL
PERIOD AMOUNT REVENUES
-------------------------------- ----------- ------------
<S> <C> <C>
September 30, 1999 - Quarter $16,272,000 41.6%
September 30, 1998 - Quarter 14,370,000 41.7%
September 30, 1999 - Nine Months 46,240,000 39.7%
September 30, 1998 - Nine Months 39,197,000 40.3%
</TABLE>
Property operations expense increased primarily due to (i) increased accruals
for real estate taxes and (ii) increases in property operations expense
($1,874,000 and $6,161,000, respectively, for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1999) for the properties acquired and construction
completed during 1999 and 1998.
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 $1,217,000 and $2,777,000, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same
periods last year, due to the properties acquired and construction completed
during 1998 and 1999. Amortization expense increased $462,000 and $541,000,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999,
compared to the same periods last year, due
9
<PAGE> 11
primarily to (i) deferred tenant costs incurred after September 30, 1998 and
(ii) amortization of the balance of deferred tenant costs related to properties
which were sold during the third quarter.
Interest expense increased by $1,050,000 and $4,795,000, respectively, during
the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same
periods last year, primarily due to the increase in the outstanding balance of
mortgages and loans payable. At September 30, 1999, the weighted average
interest rate on the Company's outstanding debt was approximately 7.9 percent.
General and administrative expenses for the three month periods ended September
30, 1999 and 1998, totaled $2,192,000 and $1,620,000, respectively, which is
0.9 percent and 0.8 percent (annualized) of average invested assets. General
and administrative expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, totaled $6,246,000 and $4,877,000, respectively, which is 0.9 percent
and 0.8 percent (annualized) of average invested assets. These increases were
primarily due to increases in (i) legal fees, (ii) compensation expense and
certain employee benefit accruals and (iii) franchise taxes.
Direct costs of management contracts increased $48,000 and $65,000,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999,
compared to the same periods last year, due to increased costs associated with
providing property management services for the Centoff management contract.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred costs
totaling $138,000 for the management and leasing of the property which was sold
by Centoff.
Net income totaled $11,538,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999,
compared to net income of $7,738,000 for the corresponding period of 1998. This
improvement is due primarily to the increases in (i) rental revenues and (ii)
gain on sale or disposition of assets and the reduction in income tax expense.
These items were partially offset by increases in (i) property operations
expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense, (iii) interest expense and
(iv) general and administrative expense. Net income increased $6,049,000 during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, compared to the same period
last year, due to the same items detailed above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
OPERATING ACTIVITIES - During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the
Company generated approximately $49.8 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. 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 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 1999.
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 September 30,
1999, leases representing approximately 5.2 percent of the gross annualized
rent from the Company's properties, without regard to the exercise of options
to renew, were due to expire during the remainder of 1999. This represents 234
leases for space in buildings located in 20 of the 23 centers or locations in
which the Company owns buildings. Certain of these tenants may not renew their
leases or may reduce their demand for space. During the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, leases were renewed on approximately 63 percent of the
Company's net rentable square feet, which were scheduled to expire during the
nine month period. For those leases which renewed during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the average rental rate increased from $15.26 to $17.62.
Based upon the number of leases which will expire during 1999 and 2000 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 improvement
costs and in certain markets reduced rents during initial lease periods.
10
<PAGE> 12
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 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 20.6 percent of the Company's
leased space at September 30, 1999, 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.
The inability of computers, software and other equipment utilizing
microprocessors to recognize and properly process data fields containing a
two-digit year is commonly referred to as the Year 2000 Compliance issue. As
the year 2000 approaches, such systems may be unable to accurately process
certain date-based information. All significant accounting applications used by
the Company are packaged software products licensed from various computer
software companies. As of July 1999, all of the Company's significant
accounting applications have been upgraded to either Windows-based software or
versions of DOS-based software, which are Year 2000 compliant.
The Company has also completed the assessment of its critical building
operating systems (HVAC, lighting, security and elevators) regarding Year 2000
Compliance. This assessment determined that the costs of dealing with timing
devices which are not Year 2000 compliant would not be material to the
Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company has
completed its inventory of all building operating systems and continues to test
these systems to confirm the Company's assessment of these devices.
The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 Compliance activities has not
been and is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or results
of operations in any given year. These costs and the date on which the Company
plans to complete these application conversions are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events
including the continued availability of certain resources, third party
modification plans and other factors. However, there can be no guarantee that
these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ from those
plans.
Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 Compliance issue,
resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of
third-party suppliers and tenants, the Company is unable to determine at this
time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures will have a material impact
on the Company's results of operations, liquidity or financial condition. The
Company is exposed to the potential risk that its vendors and service providers
may not be Year 2000 compliant. However, this risk is reduced by the
availability of multiple vendors in the 15 cities in which the Company owns
properties. Failures by utility vendors to provide regulated services would
have the greatest impact on the Company's normal business operations. For this
reason, the Company has requested information from each of its utility vendors
concerning their Year 2000 readiness. Currently, the Company has received
responses from substantially all of its utility vendors. All respondents have
acknowledged that they are currently working on the problem and many have
outlined their respective plans of implementation. The Company is exposed to
the risk that its tenants could be impacted by the Year 2000 Compliance issue
such that they would be unable to pay their rent on time. However, the Company
has a diverse tenant base and its success is not closely tied to the success of
any particular tenant. Also, the Company's leases with its tenants protect the
Company in the event of tenant default and requires the payment of delinquent
fees on late rental payments. The Company does not expect any adverse effects
caused by its accounting and property management systems that would affect the
Company's ability to meet its financial and reporting requirements.
11
<PAGE> 13
The Company has developed contingency plans for dealing with timing devices in
building operating systems, which are not Year 2000 compliant, in case these
devices are not replaced by the end of 1999. Testing of these contingency plans
has been completed and these plans will be implemented, as required, during the
remainder of the year. The Company has sufficient internal resources and
personnel to implement any required contingency plans related to its building
operating systems.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES - At September 30, 1999, 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 nine month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's
expenditures for improvements to existing properties increased by $1,342,000
over the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to increases in
expenditures for tenant improvements to the Company's buildings.
On August 31, 1999, the Company sold the Jacksonville Central Center
(containing 666,000 net rentable square feet and 1.4 acres of undeveloped land)
and the Charlotte East Center (containing 468,900 net rentable square feet and
3.9 acres of undeveloped land) for approximately $68,770,000, net of selling
costs. These properties were sold to Lennar Partners, Inc. of Miami, Florida.
The Company has seven buildings under construction, which will contain
approximately 638,000 net rentable square feet. Expenditures for construction
of these seven buildings are expected to total approximately $59.3 million,
excluding land and tenant improvement costs.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES - The Company has a $150 million secured
revolving credit facility ($47.5 million of which was outstanding on September
30, 1999) provided by First Union National Bank of Florida, AmSouth Bank, N.A.,
Citizens Bank of Rhode Island, Compass Bank and Guaranty Federal Bank. At
September 30, 1999, the Company had 26 buildings, containing 1,388,900 net
rentable square feet, which were unencumbered.
During September 1999, the Company closed on a $45 million non-recourse loan
with Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, which is secured by nine
office buildings. This loan is divided into (i) a tranche in the amount of
$14.7 million which matures on January 2, 2007 and (ii) a tranche in the amount
of $30.3 million which matures on January 2, 2009. This loan has an interest
rate of 7.1 percent. Amortization with respect to this indebtedness is based on
equal monthly installments over a 25-year amortization period. This
indebtedness requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios.
Loan maturities and normal amortization of mortgages and loans payable are
expected to total approximately $4.5 million over the next 12 months.
Significant maturities of the Company's remaining mortgages and loans payable
do not begin to occur until 2001. The Company has filed shelf registration
statements with respect to the possible issuance of up to $300 million of its
common and/or preferred stock. The Company has issued $91.6 million of its
common stock under such registration statements.
The foregoing discussion contains forward-looking statements concerning 1999.
The actual results of operations for 1999 could differ materially from those
projected because of factors affecting the financial markets, reactions of the
Company's existing and prospective investors, the ability of the Company to
identify and execute development projects and acquisition opportunities, the
ability of the Company to renew and enter into new leases on favorable terms,
and other risks factors. See Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations - - Cautionary Statement Relevant
to Forward-Looking Information for Purpose of the `Safe Habor' Provisions of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 1998.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
INTEREST RATE RISK. The Company currently has a $150 million secured
revolving credit facility with variable interest rates. The Company may incur
additional variable rate debt in the future to meet its financing needs.
Increases in interest rates on
12
<PAGE> 14
such debt could increase the Company's interest expense, which would adversely
affect the Company's cash flow and its ability to pay distributions to its
shareholders. The Company has not entered into any interest rate hedge
contracts in order to mitigate the interest rate risk with respect to the
secured revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 1999, the Company had
$47.5 million outstanding under the secured revolving credit facility. If the
weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt is 100 basis points
higher or lower, annual interest expense would be increased or decreased by
approximately $475,000.

(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 base rents
(which excludes expense pass-throughs and reimbursements) for a Koger
Center or location as of September 30, 1999 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 buildings
(i) the number of leases which will expire during the remainder of
calendar year 1999 and calendar years 2000 through 2007, (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 annualized rents represented by such leases, and (vi)
the percentage of gross annualized rents contributed by such leases.
This information is based on the buildings owned by the Company on
September 30, 1999 and on the terms of leases in effect as of
September 30, 1999, 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 63 percent of the Company's net rentable
square feet which were scheduled to expire during the nine month
period ended September 30, 1999.
