PGI Associates, L.P., a Texas limited partnership ("PGI"), and Texas PGI, Inc.,
a Texas corporation ("Texas PGI"), which is the general partner of PGI.  Mr.
Cooper is the controlling shareholder of Texas PGI.  (Mr. Cooper, PGI, and
Texas PGI are collectively referred to as the "Reporting Persons.")

         The address of Mr. Cooper is 9507 Meadowbrook, Dallas, Texas  75220.
The business address of PGI and Texas PGI is 7557 Rambler Road, Suite 700,

         Mr. Cooper is presently a Trust Manager of the Company.  The Company

         None of the Reporting Persons during the last five years has been (i)

misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 16, 1996
between the Company, Camden Subsidiary, Inc. and Paragon Group, Inc.
("Paragon"), which was approved by the shareholders of the Company and Paragon
on April 15, 1997, Paragon merged with and into Camden Subsidiary, Inc. and
each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Paragon was converted
into the right to receive 0.64 Common Shares of the Company (the "Merger").  As
a result of the Merger, all shares of Paragon common stock and units of limited
partnership of Paragon Group, L.P. (previously redeemable for Paragon common
stock) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons prior to the Merger have
been converted to Common Shares and units of Camden Operating, L.P. (which are
redeemable for Common Shares, at the option of the Company (the "Units")).
Immediately following the Merger, Mr. Cooper became a Trust Manager of the
Company and received an additional 2,000 shares from the Company.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

         The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of the Common
Shares in connection with the Merger described above in Item 3.  The Reporting
Persons intend to hold the Common Shares for investment.  The Reporting Persons
may, however, from time to time, in the ordinary course of their business, and,
in the case of PGI, on behalf of itself or its partners, respectively, invest
in additional Common Shares or may engage, depending upon market conditions and
other factors deemed relevant, in a sale or other disposition of all or a
portion of the Common Shares being reported herein.

         The Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate
to or would result in (a) an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, (b) a sale or transfer of any of the
Company's assets, (c) a change in the present Board of Trust Managers or
management of the Company, (d) a change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Company or any other material change in the Company's
business or organizational structure, (e) changes in the Company's Declaration
of Trust or bylaws, (f) the delisting or deregistration of any of the Company's
securities, or (g) any action similar to that described in (a)-(f) above.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Company reported in its Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-25637), as
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 22, 1997, that at
April 15, 1997, 26,320,099 Common Shares were issued and outstanding.  Mr.
Cooper beneficially owns 1,982,461 Common Shares, which consists of (i) 312,047
Common Shares and Units owned directly by Mr.  Cooper; (ii) 21,978 Units held
by WRC Holdings, Inc., a Texas corporation in which Mr. Cooper is the President
and sole shareholder; (iii) 1,407,495 Units held by PGI, the general partner of
which is Texas PGI, which, in turn, is controlled by Mr. Cooper; and (iv)
240,941 Units held by Gateway Mall Associates I, L.P., a Missouri limited
partnership ("Gateway"), in





                              Page 6 of 9 Pages
<PAGE>   7
which Mr. Cooper serves as a managing partner of the general partner of the
general partner of Gateway.  Mr. Cooper is deemed to beneficially own
approximately 7.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming
redemption of all the Units beneficially owned by Mr. Cooper in exchange for
Common Shares).

         PGI and Texas PGI beneficially own 1,407,495 Common Shares, which is
approximately 5.1% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming
redemption of all the Units held by PGI in exchange for Common Shares).

         Mr. Cooper has sole voting and dispositive power over (i) the 312,047
Common Shares beneficially owned by him individually and (ii) the 21,978 Common
Shares he beneficially owns through WRC Holdings, Inc.  Texas PGI as the
general partner of PGI, and Mr. Cooper, as the controlling shareholder of Texas
PGI, are deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power over the 1,407,495
Common Shares they beneficially own through PGI.  Mr. Cooper is deemed to have
shared voting and dispositive power with Lewis A. Levey over the 240,941 Common
Shares he beneficially owns through Gateway by virtue of the fact that they
serve as co-managing partners of the general partner of the general partner of
Gateway.  The information required by Item 2 with respect to Mr. Levey, who is
also a Trust Manager of the Company and a managing director of Texas PGI, is
discussed in Item 2 and Appendix A.

         None of the Reporting Persons has engaged in any transaction in the
Common Shares within the past sixty days, other than in connection with the
acquisition of the Common Shares reported hereby.  No person other than the
respective Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the
receipt of dividends or the proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares
beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

         Information regarding the number and percentage of Common Shares
beneficially owned by the directors and executive officers of Texas PGI is set
forth on Appendix A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.  Texas PGI disclaims beneficial ownership of any Common Shares
beneficially owned by its directors and executive officers.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS, OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         The Reporting Persons have not entered into any contracts,
arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among
themselves or with any other person with respect to any securities of the
Company.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
