ITEM  2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
- ----  --    ------------------------------------

On April 23, 1996, Gables Residential Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries,
the  "Company")  through  Gables GP, Inc.,  (a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the
Company and the general partner of Gables Realty Limited Partnership) and Gables
Realty Limited  Partnership (the "Operating  Partnership",  of which the Company
owns the sole general partner and holds an approximate 82.9% economic interest),
acquired all of the partnership interests in two Texas general partnerships, Pin
Oak  Green  and Pin  Oak  Park  Apartments  for  $65.3  million.  Each  acquired
partnership owns a multifamily  apartment  community located in Houston,  Texas,
collectively  comprising  1,059 apartment homes in total.  The occupancy rate of
the 1,059 apartment homes was approximately 89% as of April 23, 1996.

The acquisition was financed  primarily  through  borrowings under the Company's
$175 million unsecured  revolving credit facility with Wachovia Bank of Georgia,
N.A., as agent bank, and four other participant banks.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Gables Residential Trust:

We have audited the accompanying  combined  statement of excess of revenues over
specific  operating  expenses of Pin Oak Green and Pin Oak Park  Apartments (the
"Partnerships")  for the year ended December 31, 1995. This financial  statement
is the responsibility of the Partnerships' management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this 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  statement  of excess of  revenues  over
specific operating expenses is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the statement.  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  audit  provides  a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, this financial  statement excludes certain expenses that
would  not be  comparable  with  those  resulting  from  the  operations  of the
Partnerships  after  acquisition  by the  Company.  The  accompanying  financial
statement  was  prepared  for the  purpose  of  complying  with  the  rules  and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange  Commission and is not intended to be
a complete presentation of the Partnerships' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion,  the financial  statement  referred to above presents fairly, in
all material  respects,  the excess of revenues over specific operating expenses
(exclusive  of expenses  described  in Note 2) of Pin Oak Green and Pin Oak Park
Apartments  for the year ended  December 31, 1995 in conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --  ------------------------------------------------
   DESCRIPTION OF PARTNERSHIPS ACQUIRED

   On  April  23,  1996,  Gables   Residential  Trust   (collectively  with  its
   subsidiaries,  the  "Company")  through  Gables  GP,  Inc.,  (a  wholly-owned
   subsidiary of the Company and the general  partner of Gables  Realty  Limited
   Partnership)   and  Gables  Realty  Limited   Partnership   (the   "Operating
   Partnership", of which the Company owns the sole general partner and holds an
   approximate  82.9%  economic  interest),  acquired  all  of  the  partnership
   interests in two Texas general  partnerships,  Pin Oak Green and Pin Oak Park
   Apartments for $65.3 million.  Each acquired  partnership  owns a multifamily
   apartment community located in Houston, Texas,  collectively comprising 1,059
   apartment homes in total. The occupancy rate of the 1,059 apartment homes was
   approximately 89% as of April 23, 1996.

   The acquisition was financed primarily through borrowings under the Company's
   $175 million  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  with  Wachovia  Bank of
   Georgia, N.A., as agent bank, and four other participant banks.

   RENTAL REVENUE RECOGNITION

   The  apartment  communities  are leased  under  operating  leases  with terms
   generally equal to one year or less. Rental revenue is recognized when earned
   which materially approximates revenue recognition on a straight-line basis.

2.   BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
- --   -------------------

   The  accompanying  combined  statements  of excess of revenues  over specific
   operating  expenses are presented on the accrual basis. These statements have
   been prepared in accordance with the applicable  rules and regulations of the
   Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  for real estate  properties  acquired.
   Accordingly,   the  statements  exclude  certain   historical   expenses  not
   comparable to the operations of the partnerships after  acquisition,  such as
   depreciation, interest, management fees, and certain legal fees.



                                                                   EXHIBIT 99.2

                 PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
         (UNAUDITED AND AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


The unaudited  consolidated  statements  of  operations  are presented as if the
Company  acquired Pin Oak Green and Pin Oak Park  Apartments as of the beginning
of each period presented.  In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the effects of the partnership acquisitions have been made.

The  unaudited  pro  forma   consolidated   statements  of  operations  are  not
necessarily  indicative of what the actual  results of operations of the Company
would have been  assuming the Company had acquired  the  partnerships  as of the
beginning of each period presented, nor do they purport to represent the results
of operations for future periods.

                     Consolidated Statements of Operations
                             (Dollars in Thousands)

(A)Reflects rental revenues,  other property revenues and property operating and
   maintenance  expenses  (exclusive of depreciation  expense) for Pin Oak Green
   and Pin Oak Park Apartments (the "Partnerships") acquired on April 23, 1996.

(B)Reflects  depreciation  expense for the  Partnerships  acquired on April 23,

   0.125%,  interest costs on the pro forma credit facility  indebtedness  would
   increase or decrease by approximately $82 on an annualized basis.

(D)Reflects  the  portion  of  all  of  the  preceding  pro  forma   adjustments
   attributable   to  the  minority   interest   unitholders  in  the  Operating
