Item 2:  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

      On September 16, 1998, Konover Properties, Inc. (the "Company") acquired a
shopping center in Mobile, Alabama from Konover & Associates South, a privately
held real estate development firm based in Boca Raton, Florida, and certain of
its affiliates. Subsequent to September 16, 1998, the Company closed on three
additional properties. These are located in West Palm Beach, Florida, Stuart,
Florida and Durham, North Carolina. These acquisitions were made pursuant to the
terms of the previously announced Master Agreement by and among the Company, KPT
Properties, L.P. (previously "FAC Properties, L.P."), Konover Management South
Corp. and the other parties set forth therein dated June 30, 1998 (the "Master
Agreement"). With these acquisitions, the Company has now purchased eight of the
ten shopping centers to be acquired pursuant to the Master Agreement. The
following table sets forth certain information regarding the acquired
properties.

</TABLE>

      The aggregate purchase price for the eight acquired shopping centers
consisted of the initial assumption of $58.3 million of fixed-rate indebtedness
(of which $7.8 million was paid at closing), $18.7 million in cash (including
the $7.8 million debt payment) and the issuance of 300,694 limited partnership
interests ("Units") of KPT Properties, L.P. The source of the cash portion of
the acquisition price was the Company's working capital. The purchase price for
the acquisition was determined as a result of arms-length negotiation between
the Company and the sellers, with the Units being valued at $9.50 per share. All
of the acquired properties are held directly or indirectly, by KPT Properties,
L.P., the operating partnership through which the Company conducts substantially
all of its operations.

Report of Independent Public Accountants




To the Board of Directors of
Konover Property Trust, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain
Expenses of Konover & Associates South as described in Notes 1 and 2 for the
year ended December 31, 1997. This combined financial statement is the
responsibility of Konover & Associates South management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on this combined financial statement based on our audit.


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


The accompanying Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses was prepared
using the basis of accounting described in Note 1 for the purpose of complying
with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for
inclusion in the Form 8-K of Konover Property Trust, Inc. and is not intended to
be a complete presentation of Konover & Associates South revenue and expenses.


In our opinion, the combined financial statement referred to above presents
fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses described in
Notes 1 and 2 of Konover & Associates South for the year ended December 31,
1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

           Notes to Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses
                      For the Year Ended December 31, 1997




1.  Description of Properties:


The Konover & Associates South properties consist of the eight closed community
shopping centers located in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Alabama and
Georgia and contain approximately 1,400,000 square feet.



2.  Basis of Presentation:


Konover & Associates South is not a legal entity but rather a combination of the
operations of certain real estate properties expected to be acquired by Konover
Property Trust, Inc. (formerly FAC Realty Trust, Inc.). The accompanying
Combined Statement of Revenue and Certain Expenses includes the accounts of the
community shopping center properties, each of which is wholly owned by various
parties not affiliated with Konover Property Trust, Inc. at the date of entering
into the agreement to purchase such properties.


In accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X, the accompanying combined
financial statement is not representative of the actual operations for the
periods presented as certain revenue and expenses, which may not be comparable
to those expected to be incurred by Konover Property Trust, Inc. in the proposed
future operations of the aforementioned properties, have been excluded. Interest
income has been excluded from revenue. Expenses excluded consist of depreciation
and amortization, management fees, general and administrative and interest
expenses not directly related to future operations. Management is not aware of
any other material factors that would cause the accompanying Combined Statement
of Revenue and Certain Expenses to not be indicative of the future operations of
Konover.



3.  Significant Accounting Policies:


Revenue Recognition


Minimum rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease. Certain lease agreements contain provisions which provide for rents
based on a percentage of sales and certain leases provide for additional rents
based on a percentage of sales volume above a specified breakpoint and
reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, advertising, utilities and
certain common area maintenance (CAM) costs. These additional rents are
reflected on the accrual basis.

<PAGE>

Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statement and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those amounts.



4.  Leases:


The Konover & Associates South properties are being leased to tenants under
operating leases that will expire through 2033.


Expected future minimum rents to be received over the next five years and
thereafter from tenants for leases in effect at December 31, 1997, are as
follows (in thousands):
