INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Paragon Group, Inc.

     We have audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheets of
Paragon Group,  Inc. and  subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related consolidated  and  combined  statements  of  operations,  
stockholders'  equity (partners'  and owners'  deficit),  and cash flows of
Paragon  Group,  Inc.  and Predecessors  for the years ended  December  31,
1996 and 1995,  the period from July 27, 1994  through  December  31, 
1994,  as  restated,  and the period from January 1, 1994 through July 26,
1994.  Our audits also  included the  financial statement  schedule listed
in the index at Item 14(a)1 and 2. These consolidated and combined 
financial  statements and schedule are the  responsibility  of the
management of Paragon Group,  Inc. and  Predecessors.  Our  responsibility
is to express an opinion on these consolidated and combined  financial 
statements and schedule based on our audits.

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

     In our opinion, the consolidated and combined financial statements
referred to above present fairly,  in all material  respects,  the
financial  position of Paragon Group,  Inc. and  subsidiaries as of
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of Paragon Group, Inc. and 
Predecessors'  operations and cash flows for the years  ended  December 
31,  1996 and 1995,  the period  from July 27,  1994 through  December  31,
1994,  as  restated,  and the period from January 1, 1994 through  July 
26,  1994,  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted  accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule
when considered  in  relation  to the basic  financial  statements  taken
as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set
forth therein.

     As discussed in Note 2, the Company,  since its initial public 
offering on July 27, 1994, accounted for the investment in its property
services subsidiary, Paragon  Group  Property  Services,  Inc.  ("PGPSI"),  
under  the  cost  method consistent  with prior  regulatory  direction. 
However,  in September 1995, the Emerging  Issues Task Force of the
Financial  Accounting  Standards Board (EITF) reached a  consensus  in EITF
95-6 that the cost method of  accounting  for such investments was not
appropriate.  Accordingly,  in 1995, the Company changed its method of 
accounting  for PGPSI from the cost  method to  consolidation  of the
financial  position  and  results  of  operations  of PGPSI  with  the 
Company. Furthermore,   as  required  by  EITF  95-6,  the  1994  
financial   statements (specifically,  the period from July 27, 1994 
through  December  31, 1994) have been  restated  to  consolidate  PGPSI. 
The  effect of the  restatement  was to decrease stockholders' equity at
December 31, 1994 by approximately  $20,456,000 and to decrease net income
for the period from July 27 through December 31, 1994 by approximately
$120,000. The effect on earnings per share was nominal.

PARAGON GROUP, INC. AND PREDECESSORS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 31, 1996
(Dollars in thousands, except per share or share/unit data)

1.   ORGANIZATION AND FORMATION OF THE COMPANY

     Paragon  Group,  Inc.  (together  with its  subsidiaries,  the 
"Company"), qualifies as a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  for
Federal  income tax purposes  and was  incorporated  in the state of 
Maryland  on March 23, 1994 to continue the operations of certain  entities 
involved in  management,  leasing, construction,  development and ownership
of real estate assets (collectively the "Predecessors").  On July 27, 
1994,  the Company  completed  an initial  public offering  (the  "Initial  
Offering")  of  13,000,000  shares  of  common  stock (including  
1,000,000   shares  issued  upon  exercise  of  the   underwriters'
over-allotment option), a sale of 695,000 shares of common stock to the
sponsors (the "Private Placement") and a business combination with the
Predecessors.  The offering  price of all  shares  sold was  $21.25  per 
share,  resulting  in net proceeds (less the  underwriters'  discount and
offering costs) of approximately $266,206.  Additionally,  in August 1994, 
the Company  issued 324,400 shares of common stock for use in the Employee
Restricted Stock Plan.

     Upon  completion  of  the  Initial  Offering,  the  Company,   through 
its wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Paragon  Group LP  Holdings,  Inc., 
acquired a 79.1% limited partner  interest in Paragon Group L.P. (the 
"Operating  Partnership"). The Operating Partnership succeeded to
substantially all of the interests of the Predecessors and certain others
in certain properties.  The Company, through its wholly-owned  subsidiary, 
Paragon Group GP Holdings,  Inc., is the sole general partner  and the 
holder  of a 1%  interest  in the  Operating  Partnership.  In
consideration  for the sale of certain  properties  and  partnership 
interests, certain owners of the Predecessors, including affiliates of the
Company, elected to receive limited partnership units ("Units") in the
Operating Partnership. The 3,648,546 Units received by such owners at
formation  represented an approximate 19.9% equity interest in the
Operating Partnership.

     Proceeds  from  the  Initial  Offering,   the  Private  Placement  and 
new borrowings  totaled $408.5  million.  The Company and the Operating 
Partnership used these proceeds to (i) purchase certain  properties and
interests in certain other properties,  (ii) retire existing debt
associated with certain properties, (iii) pay expenses of the offering
including underwriting discounts, accounting, legal, and other formation
costs, (iv) pay prepayment penalties, purchase lender participation 
interests,  buy down interest rates on certain mortgage loans and pay loan
costs on new indebtedness,  (v) make distributions to certain owners of the 
Predecessors  to repay  off-balance  sheet debt  associated with one of the
properties,  (vi) purchase the property  services  businesses  from 
affiliates, (vii) pay real  estate  taxes and fund  interest  and tax 
escrows,  and  (viii) establish working capital reserves.

     During 1995,  the  Operating  Partnership  issued  116,136 Units to
acquire additional property and partnership interests from affiliates of
the Company and 94,118 Units were  redeemed for shares of common stock in
the Company  (with the Company  acquiring  such Units in  exchange  for a
like  number of  shares).  On January  3,  1996,  the  Operating 
Partnership  issued  4,694  Units in partial settlement  of debt  assumed
on the  purchase  of the  Overlook  Apartments.  At December 31, 1996, the
Company's ownership interest in the Operating Partnership was 80.1%.

     Subsequent  to the business  combination  and prior to June 30,  1996, 
the Company's  management,  leasing,  construction  and development 
businesses were conducted through Paragon Group Property Services, Inc.
("PGPSI").  The Company, through the Operating Partnership,  owned 100% of
the non-voting stock and 1% of the voting stock of PGPSI  (collectively 
representing 99% of the total equity). As discussed in Note 4,  effective 
June 30, 1996, the Company sold its interest in PGPSI (after  spin-off of
the  residential  property  services  business) and formed Paragon 
Residential  Services,  Inc.  ("PRSI") to continue the Company's
residential  property services business previously  conducted through
PGPSI. The Company has a 95%  economic  interest in PRSI  through 
ownership of 100% of the nonvoting  common stock and 1% of the voting 
stock.  The  remaining  99% of the voting stock, which represents a 5%
economic interest, is owned by a partnership controlled by certain current
and former executive officers of the Company.

2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation for Periods after the Initial Offering

     For the periods after the Initial Offering,  the accompanying 
consolidated financial  statements  include the  accounts of the  Company, 
Paragon  Group GP Holdings,  Inc.,  Paragon Group LP Holdings,  Inc., 
Paragon  Group L.P.,  PGPSI (through the date of sale), Paragon Residential 
Services,  Inc., 8 wholly-owned partnerships  and one limited  liability 
company,  and  partnerships  owning 13 properties  where  the  Company, 
through  the  Operating  Partnership,   has  a controlling  interest.  All
significant  intercompany  accounts and transactions have been eliminated
in consolidation. 

     The  Company,  subsequent  to the  Initial  Offering  on July 27, 
1994 and through the third quarter of 1995,  accounted for its  investment
in PGPSI under the  cost  method  consistent  with  prior  regulatory 
direction.  However,  in September  1995,  the  Emerging  Issues Task Force
of the  Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("EITF")  reached a consensus
in EITF 95-6 "Accounting by a Real Estate  Investment  Trust for an
investment in a Service  Corporation"  that the cost method of accounting
for such  investments was not  appropriate  and, based upon  the  specific 
facts  and  circumstances,  either  the  equity  method  or consolidation 
accounting  should be used. While the Company only held 1% of the voting
stock of PGPSI,  due to its 99% economic  interest and other  factors the
Company believes that the  consolidation  method should be used and
provides for the most meaningful financial statement presentation.
Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 1995, the Company changed its method
of accounting for PGPSI from the cost method to consolidation of the
financial position and results of operations of PGPSI in the Company's 
consolidated  financial statements.  Furthermore,  as required by EITF
95-6, the 1994 financial statements  (specifically,  the period from July
27, 1994 through  December 31, 1994) have been restated to consolidate
PGPSI.  The effect of the  restatement was to decrease  stockholders' 
equity at December 31, 1994 by $20,456 and to decrease income before 
extraordinary  items and net income by $120. The effect on net income per
share was nominal.

     The business combination was structured to allow the partners and
owners of the  entities  in the  Predecessors  to  receive  either  cash or 
Units  in the Operating Partnership.  (Units can be exchanged, with certain
restrictions,  for cash or common stock in the Company, at the Company's
election, on a one-for-one basis.) Purchase accounting was applied to the
acquisition of all non-controlled interests  from  persons  who  received 
either  cash or Units in the  Operating Partnership as  consideration  as
well as controlled  interests from persons who received  cash. The 
acquisition  of all other  interests was accounted for as a reorganization
of entities under common control and, accordingly,  was reflected at 
historical  cost  in a  manner  similar  to  that of  pooling  of 
interests accounting.  Acquisitions subsequent to the Initial Offering have
been accounted for in a similar manner.

Basis of Presentation for Periods prior to the Initial Offering

     For  periods  prior to the  Initial  Offering,  the  accompanying 
combined financial statements of the Predecessors include the accounts of
45 partnerships owning  multifamily  apartment  communities,   two 
partnerships  owning  retail properties,  one  partnership  owning an
office  property  and various  entities engaged in property  management, 
leasing,  construction  and  development  on a contractual basis.
Additionally included are the accounts of a partnership which owns a 20%
interest in an office  property and is therefore  accounted for using the 
equity  method.  The  Predecessors  is not a  legal  entity  but  rather  a
combination  for  financial  reporting  purposes.   The  accompanying  
combined financial  statements  are  presented  on a  combined  basis 
because  of common ownership and management. All significant inter-entity
accounts and transactions have  been  eliminated  in  combination.  The 
accompanying  combined  financial statements prior to the business
combination exclude or carve out certain assets and  liabilities  that were
not  contributed  to the  Operating  Partnership  or transferred to PGPSI.

                                       58

Real Estate Assets and Depreciation

     Real estate assets are stated at cost. Ordinary repairs and
maintenance are expensed as incurred;  major  replacements  and 
betterments are capitalized and depreciated  on a  straight-line  basis
over the  estimated  useful lives of the properties (buildings and related
land improvements - 10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures, and equipment - 3
to 10 years; and tenant improvements - over the life of  the  related 
tenant  lease).   With  respect  to  the  operating  apartment properties, 
the Company  capitalizes floor and window coverings and depreciates such 
items  over  5  years;   appliances  and  heating,   ventilating  and  air
conditioning  equipment are  capitalized  and  depreciated  over 10 years. 
With respect to construction in process, the Company capitalizes all costs
associated with development activities, including interest and taxes, until
each project is complete.  Capitalized  interest for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 aggregated to $1,687, $1,608 and $47,
respectively. 

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 121  "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long Lived  Assets" ("FAS 121").  FAS 121  establishes 
accounting  standards for the impairment  of long lived  assets and is
effective  for fiscal  years  beginning after December 15, 1995, with early
adoption encouraged. The Company adopted FAS 121 in 1995.  Accordingly, 
the Company records  impairment losses on long lived assets used in
operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be
impaired  and the  undiscounted  cash flows  estimated to be generated by
those  assets  are less  than the  carrying  amount  of  those  assets.  No
such impairment  losses with respect to real estate  assets used in 
operations  have been recognized to date. Real estate assets to be disposed
of are carried at the lower of the carrying  amount or estimated fair value
less selling costs and are classified as real estate held for sale in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     For purposes of the  statements  of cash flows,  the Company 
considers all investments  purchased  with an original  maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

     Restricted cash is comprised of tenant security  deposits,  real
estate tax and insurance escrows,  required reserves for property 
replacements,  and other cash restricted pursuant to loan or other
agreements.

Investment in Ventures

     The Company's 20% interest in Gateway One Office Venture  ("Gateway"), 
its 10% interest in Fair Grove Properties, L.L.C. ("Fair Grove") and its
approximate 44% interest in Paradim,  Inc. and it's subsidiaries 
(collectively,  "Paradim") are accounted for using the equity method of
accounting.

Deferred Charges

     Deferred charges include costs incurred in connection with the
formation of each entity which are  generally  amortized on a 
straight-line  basis over five years;  deferred  financing costs which are
amortized on a  straight-line  basis over the life of the  related  loan; 
prepaid  leasing  costs on the  office and retail properties which are
amortized on a straight-line  basis over the life of the related  tenant
lease;  and management  and leasing  contracts  purchased at formation
which are amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

                                       59
<PAGE>

Revenue Recognition

     Rental income attributable to residential leases is recognized when
earned. Minimum  rental  income  related to retail and office  leases is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.  Certain
of the leases include scheduled rent increases and  provisions  whereby the
tenant is not  responsible for rental payments during specified  initial
occupancy  periods.  Rental income recognized in excess of payments due is
reflected as a deferred rent  receivable in the  accompanying  balance
sheets.  The retail and office leases also provide for reimbursement of
actual operating expenses in excess of base amounts.

     Management  fees are  based  on a  percentage  of the  rental 
receipts  of properties managed and are recognized when earned. Leasing
fees are based on the gross value of leases signed and are recognized as
earned under the terms of the various  contracts.  Construction  and
development fees are generally based on a fixed percentage of costs and are
recognized as the project costs are incurred. 

Stock Compensation

     In October 1995, The Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of  Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  123,  "Accounting 
for  Stock  Based Compensation" ("FAS 123") which establishes  financial
accounting and disclosure standards  for stock based  employee 
compensation  plans and is  effective  for fiscal years  beginning after
December 15, 1995. FAS 123 provides an alternative of adopting the new
accounting standards of the statement or remaining under the existing
requirements of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees"  ("APB 25").  The Company has decided to
continue accounting for its stock  compensation  arrangements under the
provisions of APB 25.

Per Share Data and Dividends

     Earnings  per share with  respect to the Company for the periods 
following the Initial  Offering are computed  based upon the  weighted 
average  number of shares outstanding during the respective period. 
Historical per share data with respect to the periods prior to the Initial 
Offering is not relevant  since the Predecessors' financial statements are
a presentation of the combined operations of partnerships and S

Use of Estimates

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

Concentrations

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, there were cash and restricted cash
balances with  banks  in  excess  of the FDIC  insured  limits  by  $5,188, 
and  $3,376, respectively.  The Company has not  experienced any losses in
its cash accounts, and believes it is not exposed to any  significant 
credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

     As of December 31, 1996, certain apartment units are leased to tenants
that have common  employers  and may be  dependent  on one related  source
of income. Management  believes that any possible loss resulting  from the 
above-mentioned concentrations  would not be material as the apartment 
units could be re-leased if the current tenants fail to perform under their
obligations.

3.   REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

Real Estate

     As of December 31, 1996,  the Company,  through the Operating 
Partnership, controls,  either  through  direct  ownership  or in some 
instances  through an investment in a  partnership  or a limited  liability 
company,  58  multifamily residential properties in Florida,  Kentucky, 
Missouri,  North Carolina,  South Carolina and Texas. The Company, through
the Operating Partnership, also owns an interest in Paradim which owns 3
multifamily  residential  properties  that were previously  wholly-owned by
the Company,  and has a minority interest in Gateway and Fair Grove which
own three  office  properties;  one in Missouri  and two in suburban 
Washington,   D.C.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  entered  into  a
non-recourse  ground  lease,  which  commenced on October 24,  1996, 
related to approximately 27.47 acres in Louisville, Kentucky for potential
development of a multifamily residential community in 1997.

     At December 31, 1996, the 58 multifamily  residential properties
controlled by the Company  include 55  operating  properties  containing 
15,026  apartment units,  two properties  under  development for which 520
units are planned and a 12.6  acre  tract of land for which 320  units  are 
planned  which the  Company acquired  in  December  1996  for  future 
development.  Two  of  the  operating properties  containing 548 units are
in the initial  lease-up  phase.  The three multifamily  residential 
properties  owned by  Paradim  include  two  operating properties
containing 928 apartment units and one property under development for which
336 units are planned.

Development

     On January 29, 1996, the Company, through PGPSI, acquired a 5.15 acre
tract of land in suburban  Dallas,  Texas and  commenced  construction  on
the 108,600 square feet Post and Paddock  office/warehouse  development. 
Construction  was completed  in November  1996 and the  property  was sold
on December 4, 1996 for $3,700.

     The Company has entered into a non-recourse  ground lease,  which
commenced on  October  24,  1996,  related to  approximately  27.47  acres
in  Louisville, Kentucky for potential  development in 1997. The ground
lease allows the Company to  develop,  at its'  discretion,  a one or two
phase  multifamily  residential community  on the  leased  acreage.  The 
lease has a term of 40 years and under certain  conditions,  the Company 
has the option to acquire  the land.  Monthly lease  payments  which are 
estimated to range from $7 to $14 have been deferred until July 1, 1997.

      On December  13, 1996,  the Company  acquired a 12.6 acre tract of
land in Orlando,  Florida for $2,007.  A 320 unit multifamily  residential 
community is planned  for the site which,  when  developed,  will be the
second  phase of the completed 272 unit Renaissance Pointe apartments.

     During  1996,  the  Company  completed  construction  of three 
multifamily residential  properties  containing a total of 824 apartment 
units. At December 31, 1996, an additional 856 apartment  units were under 
construction  which are scheduled for completion in the first and second
quarters of 1997, including 336 units owned by Paradim. The three
multifamily  residential  properties completed in 1996 include the 276 unit
Heron Pointe apartments in Tampa, Florida completed in February 1996, the
272 unit Renaissance Pointe apartments in Orlando, Florida completed  in
July 1996 and the 276 unit  Stone  Gate  apartments  completed  in August
1996. At December 31, 1996,  the  Renaissance  Pointe  apartments and the
Stone Gate apartments were in the initial lease-up phase.

Acquisitions

     On November 8, 1996, the Company  purchased two North Carolina 
multifamily residential  communities (the 240 unit Habersham Pointe
apartments in Charlotte, North  Carolina  and the 216 unit River Oaks 
apartments  in  Greensboro,  North Carolina) from a single seller for a
total purchase price of $20,900,  including the assumption of mortgage 
indebtedness in the amount of $6,357  collateralized by the River Oaks
apartments. 

Dispositions

     As a  result  of the  sale of its  commercial  property  services 
business discussed in Note 4, the Company  disposed of its three 
wholly-owned  operating commercial  properties in the fourth  quarter of
1996. The Company also sold the Turtle Creek I and the Turtle Creek II
apartments in Asheville,  North  Carolina in the fourth  quarter of 1996. 
The 1996 property  sales are  summarized in the following table:

     In accordance  with FAS 121,  properties held for sale are to be
carried at the lower of the  carrying  amount or estimated  fair value less
selling  costs. Accordingly,  at June 30, 1996, the Company recognized an
impairment  adjustment of $1,143,  all of which related to Southwood  Mall, 
which is included in gain (loss) on sale of properties in the accompanying
statements of operations.

     In addition, in an effort to maximize the long term growth potential
of the portfolio,  management intends to regularly evaluate the possible
disposition of targeted multifamily  residential  assets where a 
redeployment  of capital can increase geographic  efficiencies or improve
operating results. At December 31, 1996,  three multifamily  properties 
(the 232 unit  Brookfield  apartments  in Dallas, Texas; the 352 unit
Westchase Apartments in Charleston,  South Carolina; and the 251 unit San
Miguel Apartments in St. Louis, Missouri) are classified as held for sale.
The Company expects to sell these  properties at prices in excess of
carrying amounts.

Joint Venture

     On April 1, 1996, the Company  entered into a joint venture  (Paradim)
with Careit Investments  Limited  Partnership  ("Careit"),  an affiliate of
Caisse de depot  et placement  du  Quebec,  to  acquire,  develop  and 
operate  selected multifamily residential properties in markets in which
the Company operates. The Company  and  Careit each have  committed  to
invest up to  $22,500,  primarily through a newly formed Maryland
corporation,  Paradim,  Inc.,  which intends to qualify as a REIT for
Federal income tax purposes.  Each  investment by Paradim, Inc. is to be
made  through  separate  limited liability  companies  or limited
partnerships  in which  Paradim,  Inc.  will own an 89%interest as the
managing member or general  partner,  the Company  will own a 1% interest
and a number of private investors will own the remaining interests.  In
connection with Paradim, Inc.'s initial capitalization,  the Company
effectively contributed its interest in three  properties  (Overlook, 
formerly  known  as The  Phoenix,  a  220-unit multifamily  residential 
complex in Charlotte,  North  Carolina;  Highpoint,  a 708-unit multifamily 
residential complex in Dallas, Texas; and Brassfield Park, a 336-unit
multifamily  residential  complex under  development  in Greensboro, North
Carolina) and Careit contributed $7,926 in cash. At formation, the Company
also received a distribution of  approximately  $6,618,  which was used to
repay existing indebtedness under the line of credit. The Company recorded
the initial contribution  of these  properties at their net carrying value
on April 1, 1996, which was  approximately  $14,726 (net book value
of$41,842 subject to existing indebtedness of $27,116).  The Company's
investment,  which includes a direct 1% interest in two limited liability 
companies and one limited partnership and an approximate  43% indirect 
interest in such  entities  through its ownership in Paradim,  Inc. 
(collectively,  approximately 44%), is being accounted for under the equity
method. As of December 31, 1996, the Company's  aggregate  investment in
Paradim was approximately $7,954.

4.   PROPERTY SERVICES

     Subsequent  to the business  combination  on July 27, 1994 and through
June 30, 1996, the  Company's  management,  leasing,  construction  and 
development businesses  were conducted  through  PGPSI.  PGPSI  provided  
residential  and commercial  property services  to the  Company, 
affiliates  of the Company and unrelated third parties.  PGPSI was
originally  capitalized  with $3,000 of cash and the issuance of a $17,000
note.

     During 1995, PGPSI was realigned from a regional multi-product
organization to two national  product  groups - one for  residential 
operations  and one for commercial operations.   As  a  result  of  the 
realignment,   PGPSI  incurred non-recurring charges  totaling  $748
related to employee  severance  and other costs,  including  $195 of 
non-cash  charges  associated  with the  accelerated vesting of outstanding
restricted stock made available to certain employees (See Note 9). At
December 31, 1995,  PGPSI managed over 26.4 million  square feet of
commercial space and 22,085 apartment units.

     In May 1996,  the Company  executed  an  agreement  to sell its 
commercial property services  business to an affiliate of Insignia 
Financial Group,  Inc. ("Insignia").  In order to accomplish  the sale, 
PGPSI's  residential  property services business was transferred to PRSI. 
Immediately  following the transfer, as of June 30, 1996, Insignia acquired
all of the outstanding stock of PGPSI and a $12,432 note receivable from
PGPSI held by the Company.  The acquisition price included  initial  cash 
consideration  of$18,200  and two  potential  earn-out payments  totaling
up to $4,000 which are contingent upon PGPSI revenue meeting certain 
specified  targets over the next three years. The earn-out payments may be
reduced by as much as $2,900 in the event  certain  management contracts
are terminated  within a two-year  period after  closing.  In addition, 
the initial acquisition  price may be reduced by up to $1,100 in the event
the employment of certain  employees  of PGPSI is  terminated  within  one
year  after  closing or certain existing  management  contracts are
terminated within a five-year period after closing.

     In connection with the sale, the Company  received  warrants to
purchase up to 50,000 shares of Insignia  Financial  Group,  Inc. stock at
a price of $28.96 per share and Insignia  received  warrants  to  purchase 
50,000  shares of the Company's  stock at$18.25 per share and may  receive 
warrants  to  purchase an additional  238,000 shares at$18.25 per share, 
depending on the termination of certain management contracts during the
two-year period after closing.

     As a result of the sale,  the Company  recognized  a gain of $11,930 
which does not consider potential  earn-out payments,  the value of
warrants issued or received,  or$1,100 of the initial  acquisition  price
which is  contingent  on future events. The contingent  portion of the
initial  acquisition price and the earn-out payments,  if any, will be
recognized when earned. The gain on sale was determined  in  accordance 
with Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results
of Operations", whereby the commercial  property service business  net loss
of $843 from the date (May 7,1996)  management  committed to the disposal
of the  commercial  property  services business (the  "Measurement Date") 
through the date of sale (June 30,  1996) was treated as a reduction  of
the gain on sale. The post-Measurement Date net loss is summarized as
follows:

     Included in property management expenses is $767 of amortization 
primarily related to the June 30, 1996  accelerated  vesting of employee 
restricted stock granted to certain employees of the commercial property
services business.

     The closing of the sale occurred on July 2, 1996, at which time the
Company received net  proceeds  from the sale of $18,072  (net of 
prorations  of $165). Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce borrowings
outstanding under the line of credit.

     PRSI will continue the Company's residential property services
business and will provide all residential  property service functions 
previously provided by PGPSI,  including property  management,  leasing, 
development,  acquisition and disposition for its owned residential 
communities as well as for affiliated and third party residential  owners. 
As of December 31, 1996, the Company,  through PRSI, managed 77 multifamily 
residential  communities located across the United States,  totaling 
approximately 21,696 apartment units (of which 57 communities and 15,954 
apartment units were for the Company,  including two communities and 928
apartment units for Paradim).

     Amortization of organization  costs and prepaid leasing costs was $94,
$148 and $110 for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.

     Amortization  of deferred  financing  costs,  which is included in
interest expense in the  accompanying  statements of operations,  was
$1,473,  $1,559 and $1,074 for the years  ended  December  31,  1996,  1995
and 1994,  respectively. During 1996, an additional $204 of construction 
period amortization of deferred financing   costs  related  to  multifamily 
residential   developments   under construction was capitalized.

     Amortization of management and leasing contracts purchased at
formation was $797,  $2,231 and $482 for the years  ended  December  31,
1996 and 1995 and the period from July 27, 1994 through  December 31, 1994, 
respectively.  Management has  estimated the useful life of the  contracts 
initially  acquired to be five years, based upon historical experience with
other contracts with similar terms. During 1996 and 1995, certain of the
contracts were terminated, and as a result, the Company recognized
impairment adjustments of $258 and $1,111,  respectively, which are
included in  amortization  expense in the  accompanying  statements of
operations.  The impairment  adjustments,  determined on a prorata  basis, 
were based upon the  percentage  of contracts  terminated  during 1996 and
1995.  The contracts  terminated in 1996 and 1995 were  allocated  gross
values of $359 and $1,556 and  related  accumulated  amortization  of $101
and $445,  respectively. Management  intends  to  periodically   evaluate 
the  carrying  amount  of  the management  and  leasing  contracts  in the
future  and,  if  necessary,  record additional impairment adjustments.

     In 1996, the Company  wrote-off $2,329 of management and leasing 
contracts (and $941 of related  accumulated  amortization) which related to
the commercial property  services  business  sold in 1996 which is 
included in gain on sale of commercial  property  services  business  in 
the  accompanying   statements  of operations.  In  addition,  $462 of
prepaid  leasing  costs (and $185 of related accumulated  amortization) 
which related to the commercial  properties  sold in 1996 was  written-off 
in 1996 and is  included  in the gain  (loss)  on sale of properties in the
accompanying  statements of operations.  In 1996 and 1995, the Company also
wrote-off certain fully amortized deferred charges including $1,841 of 
deferred  financing  costs in 1996 and $206 of  organization  costs,  $86
of prepaid leasing costs and $730 of deferred  financing costs in 1995. As
a result of loan  repayments in 1994, $970 of deferred  financing costs
were  written-off and are reflected as an  extraordinary  loss in the 
accompanying  statements of operations.

6.   INCOME TAXES

Periods after the Initial Offering

     The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,  commencing with its
taxable year ended December 31, 1994. As a result,  the Company will
generally not be subject to  Federal  income  tax on its  taxable  income
to the  extent  it  distributes annually at least 95% of its taxable 
income to its  shareholders  and  complies with certain other 
requirements.  Accordingly,  no provision for Federal income taxes has been
made for the  Company  and  certain  of its  subsidiaries  in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements. State, local and other
taxes are not significant for the Company or its subsidiaries.
 
     As of  December  31,  1996  and  1995,  the  net  assets  reported in 
the consolidated  financial  statements  for the Company exceed the tax
basis in net assets by approximately $39,000 and $44,000, respectively.
 
     PGPSI and PRSI file  separate  tax  returns  and are subject to income
tax. Accordingly,  the  provision for income taxes for PGPSI through the
date of sale on June 30, 1996 and for PRSI for the period from July 1, 1996
through  December 31, 1996 has been  calculated  in  accordance  with the 
Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards 109,  "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("FAS 109"). Under the provisions  of FAS 109,  deferred  tax assets
and  liabilities  are provided for certain  temporary  differences  between 
the  carrying  amounts  of assets  and liabilities  for  financial 
reporting  purposes  and the  amounts  used for tax purposes,  computed 
based on  provisions  of the enacted  tax law.  Significant components of
deferred tax assets and  liabilities  for PGPSI as of December 31, 1995 and
PRSI as of December 31, 1996 are as follows:

                                                 ======          ======
  
     Deferred tax assets relate  primarily to (i) the difference in the
carrying amount of intangible assets recognized at formation of each entity
for financial reporting  purposes  and the  amount  recognized  for  tax 
purposes;  (ii)  the amortization of employee  restricted stock
compensation for financial  reporting purposes;  and (iii) tax net
operating  losses,  which for PRSI expires in 2011. Deferred tax 
liabilities  relate  primarily to the  difference  in the carrying amount
of certain  depreciable assets for financial reporting purposes which are
deducted for tax purposes.  A valuation  allowance has been recognized to
offset the net deferred tax assets, due to the uncertainty of the ultimate 
realization of those deferred tax assets in future years.

Periods prior to the Initial Offering

     The  entities  included  in  the  combined  financial   statements  of 
the Predecessors  were either limited  partnerships  or S corporations  and
were not subject to Federal and state income taxes. Accordingly,  no
recognition has been given to income taxes in the combined  financial 
statements of the Predecessors since the income or loss of the  entities 
are to be included in the tax returns of the individual owners.

7.   NOTES PAYABLE

Debt Restructuring

     During 1994, net proceeds from the Initial Offering,  the Private
Placement and new  borrowings  were  utilized to retire 28 loans (26 of
which were retired prior to maturity) with outstanding balances of
$174,449,  including seven loans which were repaid at a discount.  In order
to retire certain loans,  the Company was  required to pay lender 
participation  interests  of $2,577 and  prepayment penalties of $3,201.

     In connection with the Initial Offering,  the Company paid $680 and
entered into an interest  rate swap  agreement  in the  notional  amount of
$6,760.  The agreement,  which  expires on January 27,  2000,  effectively 
reduces the fixed interest rate on one mortgage note from 9.5% to 7.5%.
Additionally,  the Company reduced the outstanding principal balances of
seven loans by $4,229 and utilized $755 to reduce the interest rates on
four loans.

     During 1994, debt restructuring  resulted in an extraordinary gain
from the forgiveness of debt (before minority  interests) of $10,675 and an
extraordinary loss from early  extinguishment  of debt (before minority 
interests) of $6,748.

Mortgages Payable

     Concurrent with the Initial Offering,  the Company obtained new debt
in the amount of $108,540 which is collateralized by certain  properties. 
The new debt is structured in two pools;  Pool A, in the amount of $61,710, 
requires monthly payments of interest only at 8.36% per annum and matures
in July 2001;  and Pool B, in the amount of $46,830, requires monthly
payments of interest only at 8.52% per annum and matures in July 1999.

     Effective October 1, 1995, the Company assumed debt in the amount of
$9,856 associated with the acquisition of partnership interests related to
the 372 unit Spanish  Trace  apartments  in St. Louis,  Missouri.  The loan
requires  monthly payments of principal and interest,  bears interest at
7.35% per annum,  matures in September 2028 and is insured by the United
States  Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").  There are no
restrictions on the use or operation of this property.

     In December  1995,  the Company  obtained new debt in the amount of
$69,000 collateralized  by various  properties.  The new debt requires 
monthly interest only  payments  at 7.29% per annum for three  years and 
monthly  principal  and interest  payments  for years four  through ten
based on a 25 year  amortization schedule and matures  December  2005.  Net
proceeds of the new debt were used to repay existing borrowings under the
Company's line of credit.

     Additionally, in December 1995, in conjunction with the purchase of
the 220 unit Overlook apartments in Charlotte,  North Carolina, the Company
obtained new debt in the amount of $5,400 which is collateralized  by the
property.  The loan requires  monthly  payments and bears interest at 7.5%
fixed throughout the term with  interest  only payments for the first two
years and principal and interest payments for the last 5 years based on a
25 year amortization schedule. The note matures in January 2003. On April
1, 1996, the loan was assumed by Paradim.

     Also in December 1995,  concurrent  with the acquisition of two
properties, the Company borrowed $20,250 and $7,930.  The notes required
monthly payments of interest only at interest rates of 7.66% and 7.63%
respectively.  The notes were collateralized  by various  properties  and
had maturity dates of June and March 1996, respectively. The $7,930 loan
was repaid at maturity on March 28, 1996 and on April 1, 1996, the $20,250
loan was assumed by Paradim.

     On November 6, 1996, the Company  obtained new debt in the amount of
$7,400 collateralized  by the 278 unit Schooner Bay apartments in Tampa, 
Florida.  The new debt requires  monthly  payments of principal and
interest at 7.7% per annum for seven years and matures in November  2003.
Net proceeds of the new debt were used  to  fund a  portion  of the 
purchase  of the 240  unit  Habersham  Pointe apartments in Charlotte, 
North Carolina and the 216 unit River Oaks  apartments in Greensboro, North
Carolina on November 8, 1996.

     On November 8, 1996, in conjunction with the purchase of the 216 unit
River Oaks  apartments in Greensboro,  North Carolina,  the Company 
assumed  mortgage indebtedness in the amount of $6,357  collateralized  by
the property.  The loan requires  monthly  payments  of  principal  and 
interest at 8.44% per annum and matures on October 15, 1999.

     Mortgages  payable  consist  of 30 loans  ($254,592  principal 
amount)  at December 31, 1996 and 33 loans ($279,280 principal amount) at
December 31, 1995, each of which is collateralized by properties included
in real estate assets. At December 31, 1996,  22 of the loans  ($219,134 
principal  amount) carry a fixed interest rate and provide for the monthly 
payment of interest only, and 8 loans ($35,458  principal  amount)  provide
for  monthly  payments  of  principal  and interest at a fixed rate. 
Interest rates on the fixed rate mortgages range from 5.75% to 8.52% at
December  31, 1996 with a weighted  average  interest  rate of 7.75%.  At
December 31, 1995,  27 of the loans carry a fixed  interest  rate and
provide  for the  monthly  payment of  interest  only,  and 6 loans 
provide for monthly  payments of principal and interest at a fixed rate. 
Interest  rates on the fixed rate  mortgages  range from 5.75% to 10% at 
December  31, 1995 with a weighted average interest rate of 7.71%.  During
1996,  $12,762 of principal was repaid on mortgage loans.

                                       69
<PAGE>

     At December 31, 1996 and 1995, two of the mortgage loans 
collateralize tax exempt  housing  revenue  bonds and two  related 
mortgage  loans  collateralize taxable housing revenue bonds. The
Predecessors  obtained these mortgages during 1993.  As additional 
security for these loans,  the  Predecessors  entered into reimbursement 
agreements,  paid premiums of $1,587, and agreed to pay an annual servicing
fee of .1% of the original loan balances.  The  underlying  collateral for
the bonds is subject to land use  restrictions  which  provide,  among
other things,  that at least 20% of the multifamily  housing units be
leased to low or moderate  income families as established by HUD. On July
27, 1994, the Operating Partnership  assumed the  aforementioned  mortgage 
loans and  succeeded  to the agreements and restrictions thereto.

     At December  31, 1996,  the Company  owned one other  multifamily 
property which was previously financed with the proceeds of multifamily
revenue bonds and remains  subject  to  similar  HUD  restrictions   which 
expire  under  certain conditions in 1997.

Line of Credit

     Concurrent with the Initial Offering, the Company obtained a line of
credit facility in the amount of $75,000. The commitment was subsequently 
increased to $115,000  and in  December  1995 was reduced by the Company to
$90,000 and under certain conditions could be increased to $150,000. On
July 27, 1996, the Company executed a renewal and  modification of the line
of credit  facility.  Under the terms of the new agreement, the Company may
borrow up to $85,000 including up to $50,000  related to development 
activities.  The line of credit matures in July 1998, but may be extended
through July 1999 at the Company's option.  Borrowings under the line of
credit are  collateralized by specified  operating  properties and
properties under development.  The interest rate on the amounts 
outstanding under the line are based on, at the Company's  election, 
either (i) the greater of the prime  rate or the  Federal  Funds  rate plus 
 .50% or,  (ii) the  London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.0% -
2.25%, depending on certain financial ratios  concerning  leverage  and
debt  service  coverage.  The  line of  credit reprices,  at the Company's 
discretion,  in defined intervals ranging from 1 to 360 days. As the line
of credit is drawn or reprices,  the Company enters into a contract  and
selects the term and the interest  rate option it desires.  If the Company
selects a contract based upon LIBOR plus 2.0% - 2.25%, then the interest
rate becomes fixed for the term  selected.  Otherwise,  the contract rate
varies based upon the appropriate index. 

      At December 31, 1996,  $42,700 is  outstanding  under the line of
credit in two separate contracts. One contract in the amount of $30,700 is
priced at 7.63% and the second contract in the amount of $12,000 is priced
at 7.69%. At December 31,  1996 the prime rate,  Federal  Funds rate and
three month LIBOR were 8.25%, 5.02%,  and 5.56%,  respectively.  During
1996,  $73,700 of new borrowings  were drawn under the line of credit and
$45,500 of principal was repaid.

     The scheduled  principal  payments  related to all debt  outstanding 
as of December 31, 1996 are as follows:

         Year                   Amount
         -----------------------------
         1997     ..........  $    623

<PAGE>

The maturities  reflected above for 1998 include $42,700 of amounts 
outstanding under the line of credit which reprice in 1997.

Pledged Assets

     The  aggregate  net book value at  December  31,  1996 and 1995 of
property pledged as collateral for indebtedness  amounted to  approximately 
$470,126 and $441,564, respectively.

8.   MINORITY INTERESTS

     In  connection  with  the  formation  of  the  Company  and  the 
Operating Partnership,  certain  persons  received  either  common stock of
the Company or Units in the Operating  Partnership.  A Unit in the
Operating  Partnership and a share of common stock of the Company have the
same economic  characteristics  in as much as they  effectively  share 
equally  in the net  income  or loss of the Operating  Partnership  and any 
distributions  from the Operating  Partnership. Beginning one year after
the closing of the Initial Offering,  which occurred on July 27, 1994, 
each Unit may be redeemed by holders of the Units for either one share of
common stock or, at the option of the  Company,  cash equal to the fair
market value of a share at the time of the redemption. When a unitholder
redeems a Unit  for a  share,  minority  interests  will be  reduced  and
the  Company's investment in the Operating  Partnership will be increased. 
During 1995, 94,118 Units were  exchanged  for shares of common stock of
the Company.  The number of Units held by minority  interest  unitholders 
were  3,675,258  and 3,670,564 at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
At December 31, 1996, the unitholders' minority interest ownership
percentage in the Operating Partnership was 19.9%.

     Minority interests in the accompanying  consolidated  financial 
statements relate to holders of Units in the Operating  Partnership,  the
minority interest in PRSI and the ownership of certain partnership
interests in various properties where the  Operating  Partnership  holds a
controlling  interest.  The Operating Partnership acquired its controlling 
partnership interests by contributing cash for,  in most  instances,  an
agreed  upon  cumulative  preferred  return in the existing property
partnerships.

9.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Capital Stock

     The Company is  authorized  to issue up to  100,000,000  shares of
$.01 par value common stock. On July 27, 1994, the Company completed the
Initial Offering of 13,000,000 shares of common stock and the Private
Placement of 695,000 shares of common stock at the offering price for all
shares of $21.25. In addition,  on July 27, 1994, the Company issued
677,047 shares of common stock and paid $2,600 in cash in exchange for the
$17,000 note  receivable from PGPSI which was issued as part of the initial
capitalization of PGPSI.

     Effective  July 27, 1994,  the Company also issued 324,400 shares of
common stock pursuant to the Employee  Restricted Stock Plan discussed
below. The value of the employee restricted stock ($6,893,  representing
324,400 shares valued at the  Initial  Offering  price  of  $21.25  per 
share)  is being  amortized  and recognized  as  compensation  expense 
ratably over a three to five year vesting period.  Amortization of employee 
restricted stock  compensation for 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2,135, $1,333
and $577, respectively,  and is included in property management  expense in
the accompanying  consolidated  statements of operations, except for $767
in 1996 of post-Measurement Date amortization  primarily related to the
June 30, 1996 accelerated vesting of employee restricted stock granted to
certain employees of the commercial property services business which is
included in gain on  sale of  commercial  property  services  business. 
The  unamortized portion of the  employee  restricted  stock has been 
classified  for  financial reporting purposes as a reduction to
stockholders'  equity. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, 84,486 and 42,266
shares,  respectively,  of employee restricted stock were held by the
Company  and had not been  granted to  employees.  Accordingly, such shares
are classified as treasury shares for financial  reporting  purposes in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

     During 1996 and 1995, the Company paid quarterly dividends, with
respect to the fourth quarter of 1994 through the third quarter of 1996, of
$.465 per share of common stock.  Concurrent with the quarterly dividend
payments, the Operating Partnership distributed $.465 per Unit.

Stock Plans

     In connection  with the Initial  Offering,  the Company adopted an
Employee Restricted  Stock Plan (the  "Initial  Plan")  which was  designed
to retain and motivate officers and other employees. In August 1994, a
total of 324,400 shares of the  Company's  common  stock  were  issued  for 
use in  the  Initial  Plan. Initially, 288,800 shares of restricted stock
issued under the Initial Plan were granted to 81  employees  at no cost to
the  employees.  The  restricted  shares pursuant to the Initial Plan were
treated as  outstanding  shares in  connection with the Initial Offering. 
As such, the issuance of the restricted stock had no dilutive effect on the
Company's stockholders. Generally, the Initial Plan calls for vesting in
three annual installments beginning on the third anniversary date and 
ending on the  fifth  anniversary  date.  During  the  vesting  period  the
restricted shares are non-transferable but entitle the participants to all
other rights of a  stockholder,  including  the right to vote and  receive 
dividends. During 1995, 10,000 shares originally issued under the Initial
Plan were granted to  certain  employees.  Additionally,  management 
redeemed  16,666  shares and eliminated  the vesting  requirements  for
10,134  shares  granted to  employees terminated  in  connection  with  the 
realignment  of  PGPSI.  In  1996,  9,525 additional shares were granted to
employees and 51,745 shares were redeemed. The vesting was  accelerated 
and  eliminated  on 129,380  shares in 1996  including 90,643 shares on
which the vesting was  accelerated in connection  with the sale of the 
commercial  property  services  business on June 30,  1996.  The related
amortization of compensation expense in 1996 and 1995 was adjusted 
accordingly. At December 31, 1996,  100,400 shares of restricted stock
issued to 18 employees under the Initial Plan were outstanding.

     The Company has  established  the 1994 Employee Stock Option,  Unit
Option, Restricted  Stock,  Restricted Unit and Restricted  Stock Right
Plan, as amended and restated,  (the "Employee  Plan") for the purpose of
attracting,  retaining, and motivating  officers and other  employees.  The
Employee Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,460,000  shares of common 
stock  and/or  Units  pursuant to options or  restricted  shares or Units 
granted or issued  under the plan.  The Employee  Plan limits the number of
shares of  restricted  stock,  stock  rights and/or Units, which are
eligible for grant at no cost, to 485,000  shares/Units. Options  granted
under the Employee Plan have a ten year term and will have such pricing, 
vesting  and other  terms as the  committee  approving  the grant will
determine.  Effective  August 23,  1994,  options to purchase  80,000 
shares of common  stock were granted to eight  officers  under the 
Employee  Plan.  These options are at a price of $21.25 per share and are
fully vested. Effective April 4, 1995,  options to purchase an  additional 
283,000  shares were granted to 64 officers and employees under the
Employee plan.  These options are at a price of $17.25 and vest over
periods ranging from three to five years.  Effective August 22, 1995, 
options to purchase an  additional  4,000 shares were granted to four
officers and  employees  under the Employee  Plan at a price of $17.50
under the same vesting  provisions.  During 1996, no additional  options
were granted.  On September  11,  1996,  restricted  stock  rights  to 
receive  79,500  shares of restricted stock upon the occurrence of certain 
triggering events including the merger,  consolidation  or  reorganization 
of the  Company  were issued to five officers  of the  Company.  The 
proposed  merger  with  Camden  Property  Trust discussed in Note 17 will 
constitute a triggering  event. At December 31, 1996, no shares of 
restricted  stock and/or Units had been granted under the Employee Plan.

                                       72
<PAGE>

     The Company  has adopted a  Non-Employee  Director  Stock  Option Plan
(the "Director  Plan").  Under the Director  Plan,  each  non-employee 
director,  in connection  with the Initial  Offering,  was granted  options
to purchase  5,000 shares of common stock.  The Director  Plan also 
provides for automatic  annual grants  of 2,500  shares  of common  stock 
following  the  annual  election  of directors.  The exercise price of all
options granted under the Director Plan is the fair  market  value of the
common  stock on the date of grant.  Each  option granted has a term of ten
years and vests six months after the date of grant. At December 31, 1996, 
options to purchase  60,000  shares of common stock had been granted under
the Director Plan.

     The Company has  elected to follow APB 25 and  related 
Interpretations  in accounting  for its employee  stock options  because, 
as discussed  below,  the alternative  fair value  accounting  provided 
for under FAS 123 requires use of option  valuation  models that were not 
developed  for use in valuing  employee stock  options.  Under  APB 25, 
because  the  exercise  price of the  Company's employee stock options 
equals the market price of the  underlying  stock on the date of grant, no
compensation expense is recognized.

     Pro forma  information  regarding  net  income  and  earnings  per
share is required by FAS 123,  which also requires that the  information be
determined as if the Company has accounted for its employee stock options 
granted  subsequent to December  31, 1994 under the fair value  method of
that  Statement.  The fair value for these options was estimated at the
date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following 
weighted-average  assumptions  for 1996 and 1995, respectively:  risk-free
interest rates of 6.22% and 5.39%; a dividend yield of approximately 10.5%; 
volatility factor of the expected market price of the Company's common
stock of .171; and a weighted-average  expected life of the options of 5
years.

     The  Black-Scholes   option  valuation  model  was  developed  for 
use  in estimating the fair value of traded  options which have no vesting 
restrictions and are fully  transferable.  In addition,  option  valuation
models require the input of highly  subjective  assumptions  including  the 
expected  stock  price volatility.  Because the Company's  employee stock
options have  characteristics significantly different from those of traded
options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can
materially  affect the fair value estimate,  in management's  opinion, the
existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the
fair value of its employee stock options.

     For  purposes of pro forma  disclosures,  the  estimated  fair value
of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. 
The Company's pro forma net income for 1996 and 1995 was  $21,201 and 
$10,034,  respectively, with no impact on reported  earnings  per share. 
Because FAS 123 is  applicable only to options  granted  subsequent to
December 31, 1994,  its pro forma effect will not be fully reflected until
1997.

     A summary of the Company's stock option activity,  and related 
information for the years ended December 31 follows:

10.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

     Per share  amounts are  computed  based on the weighted  average 
number of shares outstanding during the period (14,791,165 in 1996,
14,698,336 in 1995 and 14,513,503 in 1994). Earnings per share will be
unaffected by partners who elect to convert Units in the Operating 
Partnership  to shares of common stock in the Company as unitholders  and 
stockholders  effectively  share equally in the net income of the Operating 
Partnership.  The assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, using the
treasury stock method, is not dilutive and therefore,  is not considered in
determining shares outstanding.

     For the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Company had
earnings of $1.43 and $.68 per share, respectively.

     For the period  July 27,  1994  through  December  31,  1994,  the 
Company incurred a loss before  extraordinary  items of $(.06) per share. 
The effect of the extraordinary gain from the forgiveness of debt, net of
minority  interests, increased  earnings  per share by $.47,  while the 
extraordinary  loss from the early extinguishment of debt, net of minority
interests,  decreased earnings per share by $(.36),  resulting in net
income per share of $.06.  During the period, the Company incurred $7,796
in non-recurring  reorganization costs,  principally legal, accounting, 
and other costs incurred in connection with the formation of the Company.
The effect of these costs, net of minority interests of $1,668, was to
reduce the income (loss) before the extraordinary items by $(.42) per
share.

11.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     On August 8, 1994, the Company exercised an option to purchase a 19.05
acre tract of partially  developed  land from a corporation  whose sole 
shareholders were three  executive  officers  (including  two who are also 
directors) of the Company. The option agreement required  consideration of
$128 in cash, and Units with a value of $1,568,  as well as reimbursement
of all  pre-development  costs totaling $367. The Unit portion of the
purchase price was paid one year from the date of purchase, based on the
value of Units at the election date of the option (August 8, 1994) and
totaled 73,783 Units. 

     Effective  October 1, 1995, the Company issued 42,353 Units with a
value of $900 (based on the price of the Company's stock at the Initial
Offering date) to an entity whose sole shareholders  were two executive 
officers and directors of the Company.  The Units  represented  partial 
consideration for the purchase of partnership interests.

     In December 1995, the Company purchased the Overlook  Apartments, 
formerly known as The Phoenix,  from a  partnership  which was owned by
affiliates of the Company and outside  investors.  As consideration for the
purchase,  the Company paid cash of $8,500 and assumed $300 of debt payable
to  affiliates.  Affiliates of the Company did not receive any of the cash 
portion of the  purchase  price. However,  on  January  3, 1996,  the $300
of  affiliated  debt was repaid by the Company with cash of $200 and the
issuance of 4,694 Units.

     The  Company,  through  PRSI (and  previously  PGPSI),  uses a 
centralized disbursement  and receipt system whereby,  for certain 
properties  owned by the Company and other affiliated properties, all
project deposits are transferred to a central  operating  account and all
expenses and other  disbursements are paid therefrom.  In other cases, 
certain properties maintain a separate cash account for  recording  project 
receipts and  disbursements;  however,  certain  common operating expenses
are paid through the centralized account and are subsequently reimbursed 
by the  appropriate  properties.  Additionally,  cash of  PRSI  (and
previously PGPSI) is periodically  transferred to the Operating 
Partnership for short term investment purposes.

                                       74
<PAGE>

     PRSI (and previously PGPSI) provides services to affiliated
partnerships on a contractual  basis.  The related party fees and expenses
for such services are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial
statements.

     At December 31, 1996, the Company has three notes  receivable  from
Paradim in the total outstanding  amount of $9,839.  One note, in the
outstanding amount of $9,723 at December 31, 1996,  represents  amounts
advanced to Paradim to fund construction  of Brassfield  Park, a planned 
336-unit  multifamily  residential complex under development in Greensboro, 
North Carolina. Under the terms of the loan agreement  effective  April 1,
1996,  Paradim may borrow up to $11,500 from the Company. The loan bears
interest at a variable rate based on the non-default rate of interest
charged to the Company under its line of credit. For the period April 1
through  December 31, 1996,  the interest  rate  averaged  approximately
7.41% per annum.  Monthly  payments of interest  only are due until 
maturity on September 30, 1997 at which time the outstanding  principal and
accrued interest will be due and payable.  The loan is  collateralized  by
Brassfield  Park.  The other two notes,  in the total amount of $116,  were
executed in connection with the  formation  of  Paradim  and  relate to the 
redemption  of  certain  of the Company's  interests in the properties 
contributed to Paradim.  These two notes bear interest at 8% per annum and
mature on June 30, 1997.

     In addition,  the Company has entered  into a  non-recourse  ground 
lease, which  commenced on October 24, 1996,  related to  approximately 
27.47 acres in Louisville,  Kentucky for potential development in 1997. The
ground lease allows the  Company to  develop,  at its'  discretion,  a one
or two phase  multifamily residential  community on the leased  acreage. 
The lease has a term of 40 years and under certain  conditions,  the
Company has the option to purchase the land. Monthly  lease  payments are
required  based upon the number of apartment  units developed and include
certain  scheduled  payment  increases,  some of which are tied to the
Consumer Price Index ("CPI").  The Company believes that the monthly lease
payments will range between $7 and $14 over the lease term, subject to CPI
adjustments. The monthly lease payments have been deferred until July 1,
1997.

     The eligible  employees of PRSI (and previously PGPSI) and the
Predecessors participate in a contributory  employee  savings plan.  Under
the plan, PRSI may make  matching  contributions  with  respect to 
contributions  made by eligible employees.  Expenses under the plan for the
years ended December 31, 1996,  1995 and 1994 were not material.

Contingencies

     The Company is subject to various legal  proceedings  and claims that
arise in the  ordinary  course of business.  These  matters are  generally 
covered by insurance.  While the  resolution  of these  matters  cannot be 
predicted  with certainty,  management  believes that the final outcome of
such matters will not have a  material  adverse  effect  on  the  financial 
position  or  results  of operations of the Company.

     In connection with the Initial  Offering,  environmental  consultants 
were engaged to perform  environmental  assessments  on each of the 
properties.  The environmental  assessments  identified  certain 
properties with  underground or above ground storage tanks,  pipelines, 
asbestos containing  materials or radon levels in excess of the
Environmental Protection Agency standards and noted that one property is
located within  one-half mile of a site included on the National Priorities
List issued  pursuant to the  Comprehensive  Environmental  Response,
Compensation  and  Liability  Act, as  amended.  The  environmental 
assessments revealed only one property,  Knollwood I, that had  
contamination in significant amounts requiring remediation. Remediation was
successfully completed in 1994 at a cost of $70.  Management  intends  to 
monitor  all  properties  for  possible environmental  impact. As of
December 31, 1996 no remedial actions are currently considered necessary.

13.  SEGMENT OPERATIONS

     The  Operating  Partnership  is  engaged  in the  ownership  and 
rental of residential  apartment  communities,  office buildings and retail
properties and PRSI  (and  previously  PGPSI)  provides  property  
management,   construction, development  and other  services  to both 
related  and  unrelated  parties.  As discussed  in Note 3, the Company 
sold its  wholly-owned  office  building  and retail  properties  in  the 
fourth  quarter  of  1996.  Revenue  from  property management  and  other 
services  provided  to  affiliated  partnerships,  which collectively 
represent a major  customer of PRSI (and  previously  PGPSI),  was
approximately  39%, 28%, 24% and 30% of total property  services revenue
for the years ended  December 31, 1996 and 1995, the period July 27 to
December 31, 1994 and the period January 1 to July 26, 1994,  respectively. 
Revenue from property management and other services provided to the
consolidated  group are recognized in the  period  in  which  the  services 
are  provided  and are  eliminated  in consolidation.  The following  table 
presents  operating and other  information divided among the two primary
lines of the Company's and Predecessors' business.

14.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 107 requires 
disclosure about fair value for all financial instruments,  whether or not
recognized,  for financial  statement   purposes.   Disclosure  about  fair 
value  of  financial instruments  is based on pertinent  information 
available to  management  as of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. 
Considerable  judgment is necessary to interpret  market  data and  develop 
estimated  fair  value.  Accordingly,  the estimates  presented  herein are
not  necessarily  indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on 
disposition of the financial  instruments.  The use of different market
assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on
the estimated fair value amounts.

     Management  estimates that the fair value of (i) cash and cash
equivalents, accounts receivable,  accounts payable and accrued expenses
approximate carrying value  due to the  relatively  short  maturity  of
these  instruments;  (ii) the interest rate swap agreement approximates
carrying value based upon the terms of the  agreement  relative to current 
interest  rates;  and (iii)  notes  payable approximate carrying value
based upon the Company's effective borrowing rate for issuance of debt with
similar terms and remaining maturities.

15.  SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     In  connection  with the business  combination  on July 27,  1994, 
certain non-cash  transactions  were  recorded  by the  Company, 
including:  (i)  basis adjustments  for the purchase of  partnership 
interests  for cash or Units,  or assumption  of debt,  (ii)  elimination 
of historical  basis of certain  assets purchased  for  cash,  (iii) 
adjustments  resulting  from the  transfer  of the property  management, 
leasing,  construction and development  businesses of the Predecessors to
PGPSI, (iv) elimination of net working capital due to/from prior owners at
closing,  (v) issuance of stock in exchange for note  receivable  from
PGPSI,  (vi) issuance of stock pursuant to the Employee  Restricted  Stock
Plan, (vii)  recognition  of mortgage  principal and accrued  interest 
concessions by lenders,  (viii)  write-off of deferred  financing  costs 
associated  with debt repaid at closing,  (ix)  write-off of fully 
amortized  deferred  charges,  (x) elimination  of partner  loans,  and
(xi)  allocation  of  capital  to  minority interests.  These 
transactions,  with respect to the  elimination of historical basis on
assets  purchased for cash, the adjustments  resulting from transfer of the
property  management,  leasing,  construction and development  businesses
to PGPSI  and the net  working  capital  adjustments,  also  include 
certain  cash components.  These cash  adjustments  are presented as deemed 
distributions  at formation in the accompanying consolidated statements of
cash flows.

     Certain non-cash  transactions were also recorded effective October 1,
1995 in connection with the acquisition of partnership  interests  related
to Spanish Trace for a  combination  of cash and  Units and on April 1,
1996 in  connection with the formation of Paradim and the Company's 
corresponding  contribution  of certain  properties that were previously 
wholly-owned.  The aggregate effect of the non-cash  transactions  recorded
in connection with the business combination in 1994, the  acquisition of 
partnership  interest  related to Spanish Trace in 1995 and the formation
of Paradim in 1996 are summarized as follows:

     As described in Note 2, the Company, in the fourth quarter of 1995,
changed its method of  accounting  for its  investment  in PGPSI from the
cost method to consolidation.  Accordingly,  all previously reported
periods have been restated to reflect this change in  accounting  method. 
The effect of this change on the reported  results of operations for the
first quarter,  second quarter and third quarter of 1995 was an increase 
in revenue of $5,056,  $5,089,  and  $5,069,  a decrease  in net income of 
$(889),  $(229),  and  $(163),  and a  corresponding decrease in net income
per share of $(.06), $(.02), and $(.01), respectively.

17.  PROPOSED MERGER

     On December 16, 1996 the Company  executed an Agreement  and Plan of
Merger (the  "Agreement")  with Camden  Property Trust  ("Camden")  which
provides for, among other things, the merger of the Company into a
wholly-owned  subsidiary of Camden through a tax-free  exchange of each
share of the Company's  common stock for .64 common shares of beneficial
interest of Camden,  whereby stockholders of the Company will become
shareholders of Camden.

     The  Company has the option to  terminate  the  Agreement  in the
event the average  closing price of Camden common shares  ("Average 
Closing Price") falls below $25.67 during a specified pricing period prior
to a special meeting of the stockholders  of the Company.  In the event the
Company  elects to terminate the Agreement, Camden has the option of
adjusting the exchange ratio of .64 to equal a number obtained by dividing

     (1)  Represents the non-cash effect of the elimination of the 
          historical basis of certain assets purchased for cash and 
          adjustments resulting from the transfer of the property 
          management, leasing, construction and development businesses of 
          the Predecessors to PGPSI pursuant to the formation of the 
          Company on July 27, 1994.

     (2)  Includes an $8,280 adjustment to accumulated depreciation related 
          to the acquisition of a partnership interest (Spanish Trace) for 
          Units.

     (3)  Includes a $41,754 adjustment related to the contribution of 
          property to Paradim.

     (4)  Includes $45 of Post-Measurement Date depreciation related to the 
          commercial property services business.

     Depreciation and amortization in buildings and improvements reflected
in the statements of operations are calculated on a straight-line basis
over the estimated useful lives of the properties (buildings and related
land improvements - 10 to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment -
three to 10 years; and tenant improvements - over the life of the related
tenant lease).With respect to the apartment properties, the Company
capitalizes floor and window coverings and depreciates such items over five
years; appliances and heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment
are capitalized and depreciated over ten years.

     As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, the aggregate cost for federal
income tax purposes was approximately $525,000, $532,000 and $414,000,
respectively.

                          CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST
          UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                  For the Year Ended December 31, 1996

Basis of Presentation 

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1996 is presented as if Paragon's merger into Camden
Property Trust ("Camden" or the "Company") had occurred on January 1, 1996.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations gives effect to
the merger under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16, and as if the combined entity
qualifying as a REIT, distributed at least 95% of its taxable income, and
therefore, incurred no federal income tax liability for the period
presented. In addition to the merger, the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statement of Operations gives effect to the sale of Paragon's interest in
Paragon Group Property Services, Inc. ("PGPSI") (after spin-off of the
residential property services business) as if the sale had occurred on
January 1, 1996 (see Note B to the Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement
of Operations). The merger adjustments are based on certain estimates and
currently available information. Such adjustments could change as
additional information becomes available, as estimates are refined or as
additional events occur, however, management does not expect any changes in
the allocation of the purchase price to be significant. The Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Statement of Operations is further adjusted to reflect the
effects of the conversion of $20.2 million principal amount of Camden's
7.33% Convertible Subordinated Debentures into $20.2 million of common
equity, net of costs, subsequent to December 31, 1996 and through May 25,
1997. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to reflect
the effects of these transactions have been made.

     The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations is presented
for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual combined results of Camden and Paragon would have been for the year
ended December 31, 1996 if the merger and the debenture conversion
adjustments had occurred on January 1, 1996, nor does it purport to be
indicative of the results of operations in future periods. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Combined Statement of Operations should be read in conjunction
with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the respective consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto of Camden and Paragon for the year
ended December 31, 1996 included in their respective Annual Reports on Form
10-K.

      NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                   For the Year Ended December 31, 1996
                 (In thousands, except per share amounts)

(A)  Certain reclassifications have been made to Camden's and Paragon's
     historical statements of operations to conform to the combined 
     financial statement presentation. 

(B)  Represents the elimination of the non-residential operations of PGPSI. 
     Prior to June 30, 1996, Paragon's management, leasing, construction 
     and development businesses were conducted through PGPSI. Effective 
     June 30, 1996, Paragon sold its interest in PGPSI (after the spin-off 
     of the residential property services business) and formed Paragon 
     Residential Services, Inc. ("PRSI") to continue Paragon's residential 
     property services business previously conducted through PGPSI. 

(C)  Represents the amortization of the premium required to record 
     Paragon's share of the debt of the joint ventures at fair value based 
     on current interest rates.

(D)  Represents the net adjustment to interest expense, as follows: 

     To reverse the amortization of Paragon's deferred
       financing costs which will have a zero fair value
       in connection with the merger                          $(1,473)
     To record the amortization of the premium required
       to record Paragon's mortgages and other notes payable
       at fair value based on current interest rates.            (211)
     To reflect the additional borrowings of $11,685 to
       fund the merger and registration costs (See Notes
       (B) and (I) of the Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet)
       at average market interest rates of 7.04% available to
       Camden under its unsecured credit facility                 835
     To record the net reduction in interest expense due 
       to the retirement of Paragon debt and to finance 
       the retirement of this debt with Camden's unsecured
       credit facility                                           (502)
                                                              -------
                                                              $(1,351)
                                                              =======

(E)  Represents the net increase in depreciation of real estate owned as a 
     result of recording the Paragon real estate assets at fair value 
     versus historical cost. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line 
     basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which have 
     an estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 23 years. 
     Buildings have been depreciated over 35 years and other assets over 3 
     to 15 years depending on the useful life of the related asset.

                                                             ========

     Calculation of depreciation of real estate owned for the year ended
     December 31, 1996 is as follows: 

     Depreciation expense based upon an estimated 
       weighted average useful life of approximately 
       23 years.                                              $22,016
     Less historical Paragon depreciation of real 
       estate owned                                           (19,167)

     Pro forma adjustment                                     $ 2,849
                                                              =======

(F)  Represents an adjustment in the Unitholders' minority interest 
     ownership to 19.9% of the earnings of Camden Subsidiary, Inc. ("Sub"). 
     Such Unitholders' interest is in the earnings of assets owned by the 
     Sub only, and not the combined entity.

(G)  The pro forma weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended 
     December 31, 1996 is computed as follows: 

     Camden's historical weighted average number of common 
       and common equivalent shares outstanding                14,940
     Issuance of Camden's common shares at an exchange 
       ratio of 0.64 for all of Paragon's common stock in 
       connection with the merger*                              9,466
                                                               ------
     Pro forma shares                                          24,406
                                                               ======

   * Paragon's December 31, 1996 common shares outstanding multiplied by 
     the exchange ratio. 

(H)  Represents further adjustments to reflect the reduction of interest 
     expense resulting from the conversion of $20.2 million principal 
     amount of Camden's 7.33% Convertible Subordinated Debentures into 
     $20.2 million of common equity, net of costs, subsequent to December 
     31, 1996 and through May 25, 1997.

                                 -4-

(I)  Although not presented as pro forma adjustments because they do not 
     meet the criteria for such presentation, management anticipates that 
     the merger will create significant administrative cost savings of 
     approximately $6 million in the first full year of operations.

                               December 31, 1996

Basis of Presentation 

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet is presented as if
Paragon's merger into Camden had occurred on December 31, 1996. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to the merger under
the purchase method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 16. In the opinion of management, all significant
adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the merger have been made.
The merger adjustments are based on certain estimates and currently
available information. Such adjustments could change as additional
information becomes available, as estimates are refined or as additional
events occur, however, management does not expect any changes in the
allocation of the purchase price to be significant. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Combined Balance Sheet is further adjusted to reflect the effects of the
conversion of $20.2 million principal amount of Camden's 7.33% Convertible
Subordinated Debentures into $20.2 million of common equity, net of costs,
subsequent to December 31, 1996 and through May 25, 1997. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these
transactions have been made.

   The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Balance Sheet is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual combined financial position of Camden and Paragon would have been at
December 31, 1996, nor does it purport to represent the future combined
financial position of Camden and Paragon. This Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Balance Sheet should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its
entirety by, the respective consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto of Camden and Paragon for the year ended December 31, 1996 included
in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K.
