                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


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.  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 Units received by such
     owners at formation represented an approximate 19.9% equity interest in the
     Operating Partnership.  At June 30, 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 Property
     Services, Inc. ("PRSI") to conduct the Company's residential property
     services business in the future.  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

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been
     prepared by the Company's management in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles for interim financial information and in conjunction
     with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
     ("SEC").  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
     footnote disclosure required by generally accepted accounting principles
     for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
     adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring adjustments) considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  The results of
     operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not
     necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
     year.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's December 31, 1995 audited financial
     statements and notes thereto included in the Paragon Group, Inc. Annual
     Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 1995.

<PAGE>
                                 PARAGON GROUP, INC.
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

        The accompanying condensed 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., 9 wholly-owned partnerships and limited
     liability companies, 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 business combination 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.  As a result, 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.  Accordingly, the accompanying condensed
     consolidated financial statements for the three months and six months ended
     June 30, 1995 have been restated to consolidate PGPSI.  The effect of the
     restatement was to decrease stockholders' equity at June 30, 1995 by
     $20,782, to decrease net income for the three months and six months ended
     June 30, 1995 by $229 and $1,118, respectively, and to decrease net income
     per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1995 by $.02
     and $.08, respectively.

     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        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".
     The Company has elected to continue to account for its stock compensation
     arrangements under the provisions of APB 25.

3.   REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

     REAL ESTATE

        As of June 30, 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, 57 multifamily
     properties and four commercial properties in Florida, Kentucky, Missouri,
     North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.  The Company, through the
     Operating Partnership, also owns an interest in a venture formed April 1,
     1996 which owns 3 multifamily properties that were previously wholly-owned
     by the Company.  In addition, the Company, through the Operating
     Partnership, owns a minority interest in two ventures which own three
     office properties containing 724,470 square feet; one in Missouri and two
     in suburban Washington, D.C.

        At June 30, 1996, the 57 multifamily properties include 53 operating
     properties containing 14,406 apartment units and four properties under
     development for which 1,068 units are planned.  Two of the operating
     properties containing 516 units are in the initial lease-up phase.  The
     four commercial properties include two retail properties containing 172,884
     square feet, one office property containing 102,486 square feet and one
     office/warehouse property under development which, when completed, will
     contain 108,600 square feet.  The three multifamily properties owned by the
     venture formed April 1, 1996 include two operating properties containing
     928 apartment units and one property under development for which 336 units
     are planned.

                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

     ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

        On January 29, 1996, the Company, through PGPSI, acquired a 5.15 acre
     tract of land in suburban Dallas, Texas.  Construction activities commenced
     immediately on the Post and Paddock office/warehouse development which,
     when completed, will contain 108,600 square feet.  The Company expects to
     sell this development once completed.

        In February 1996, the Company completed construction of the Heron Pointe
     apartments in Tampa, Florida.  Heron Pointe contains 276 apartment units
     and was completed at a total cost of $13,420.

     DISPOSITION ACTIVITIES

        As a result of the sale of its commercial property services business
     discussed in Note 4, the Company intends to dispose of its four wholly-
     owned commercial properties.  The Post and Paddock office/warehouse
     property is currently under development and is expected to be sold after
     completion.  The three operating properties (The Paragon, Southwood Mall
     and Westgate Shopping Center) are classified as held for sale at June 30,
     1996.  In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     121, "ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF LONG LIVED ASSETS", properties held
     for sale are to be carried at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated
     fair value less selling costs.  Accordingly, for the three months ended
     June 30, 1996, the Company recognized an impairment adjustment of $1,143,
     all of which related to Southwood Mall.  The Company expects to sell the
     remaining commercial properties at prices in excess of carrying amounts.

     JOINT VENTURE ACTIVITIES

        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 up to $22,500 for
     investment in Paradim, which will be operated so as to permit its
     qualification as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.  The Company and
     Careit each effectively own an approximate 45% interest and a number
     of private investors own the remaining 10% interest in the joint
     venture.  In connection with the formation of Paradim, 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 $40,376 subject to
     existing indebtedness of $25,650), and is accounting for its investment in
     Paradim using the equity method of accounting.  As of June 30, 1996, the
     Company's net investment in Paradim was approximately $8,135.  Additional
     investments by Paragon and Careit will be made from time to time when and
     if additional property acquisition or development opportunities are
     approved.

4.   PROPERTY SERVICES

       Subsequent to the business combination 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.

                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

       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 includes 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.

       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 June 30, 1996,
     the Company, through PRSI, managed 82 multifamily residential communities
     located across the United States, totaling approximately 21,583 apartment
     units (of which 55 communities and 15,334 apartment units were for the
     Company, including two communities and 928 apartment units for Paradim).

5.   NOTES PAYABLE

        Mortgages payable consist of 29 loans at June 30, 1996, each of which is
     collateralized by properties included in real estate assets.  At June 30,
     1996, 23 of the loans ($223,234 principal amount) carry a fixed interest
     rate and provide for the monthly payment of interest only, and six loans
     ($21,921 principal amount) provide for monthly payments of principal and
     interest at a fixed rate.  The fixed rate mortgages bear interest at rates
     ranging from 5.75% to 8.52% and mature at various dates through September
     2028.  During the three month and six month period ended June 30, 1996,
     $104 and $8,342, respectively, of principal was paid on existing mortgages.

        At June 30, 1996, $44,300 was outstanding under the line of credit which
     consists of five contracts, each of which is priced at interest rates
     ranging from 7.44% to 7.50% (based upon LIBOR plus 2.0%) and with repricing
     maturities ranging from July 1, 1996 through July 25, 1996.  Borrowings
     under the line of credit are collateralized by specified properties.
     During the three month and six month period ended June 30, 1996, $16,500
     and $37,700, respectively, of new borrowings were drawn under the line of
     credit and $7,900 of principal was repaid.

6.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        On January 3, 1996, the Company repaid $300 of debt, payable to
     affiliates, assumed in connection with the purchase of the Overlook
     Apartments.  As partial settlement of the debt, the Company, through the
     Operating Partnership, issued 4,694 Units to an affiliate.

                   (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

        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.

        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 condensed consolidated financial
     statements.

7.   DIVIDENDS

        On February 27, 1996, the Company paid a dividend, with respect to the
     fourth quarter of 1995, of $.465 per share of common stock.  Concurrent
     with the dividend payments, the Operating Partnership distributed $.465 per
     Unit.

        On May 17, 1996, the Company paid a dividend, with respect to the first
     quarter of 1996, of $.465 per share of common stock.  Concurrent with the
     dividend payments, the Operating Partnership distributed $.465 per unit.

8.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On August 6, 1996, the Company declared a dividend, with respect to the
     second quarter of 1996, of $.465 per share of common stock, payable August
     27, 1996 to holders of record on August 16, 1996.  Concurrent with the
     dividend announcement, the Operating Partnership authorized a distribution
     of $.465 per Unit, payable August 27, 1996 to holders of record on August
     16, 1996.

        Closing of the sale of PGPSI to Insignia occurred on July 2, 1996, at
     which time the Company received net proceeds from the sale of $18,072.
     Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce borrowings outstanding under the
     line of credit.

        On July 30, 1996 the Company entered into a contract to sell Southwood
     Mall, a 113,949 square foot shopping center located in Bradenton, Florida
     for $3,200.  Closing of the sale is expected to occur on or about October
     15, 1996.  Proceeds from the sale will be used for reinvestment into
     multifamily acquisitions or to repay borrowings under the line of credit.

        On July 27, 1996, the Company executed a renewal and modification of its
     existing 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.

                   ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   The following discussion is based primarily on, and should be read in
conjunction with, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Paragon
Group, Inc. and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.


COMPANY ACTIVITIES

     On January 3, 1996, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, issued
4,694 Units to an affiliate in partial settlement of debt assumed in connection
with the purchase of the Overlook Apartments.

     On January 29, 1996, the Company, through PGPSI, acquired a 5.15 acre tract
of land in suburban Dallas, Texas.  Construction activities commenced
immediately on the Post and Paddock office/warehouse development which, when
completed, will contain 108,600 square feet.  The Company expects to sell this
development once completed.

     On February 27, 1996, the Company paid a dividend, with respect to the
fourth quarter of 1995, of $.465 per share of common stock.  Concurrent with the
dividend payments, the Operating Partnership distributed $.465 per Unit.

     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 up to $22.5 million for investment in
Paradim, which will be operated so as to permit its qualification as a REIT for
Federal income tax purposes.  The Company and Careit each effectively own an
approximate 45% interest and a number of private investors own the remaining 
10% interest in the joint venture.  In connection with the formation of Paradim,
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
$7.9 million in cash.  At formation, the Company also received a distribution of
approximately $6.6 million, 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
$14.7 million (net book value of $40.3 million subject to existing indebtedness
of $25.6 million) and is accounting for its investment in Paradim using the 
equity method of accounting.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company's net investment
in Paradim was approximately $8.1 million. Additional investments by Paragon 
and Careit will be made from time to time when and if additional property 
acquisition or development opportunities are approved.

     On May 17, 1996, the Company paid a dividend, with respect to the first
quarter of 1996, of $.465 per share of common stock.  Concurrent with the
dividend payment, the Operating Partnership distributed $.465 per Unit.

     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 $12.4 million note receivable from PGPSI held by the Company.  The acquisition
price includes initial cash consideration of $18.2 million and two potential
earn-out payments totaling up to $4.0 million 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 $2.9 million 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 $1.1 million in
the event that 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.

                   ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     On August 6, 1996, the Company declared a dividend, with respect to the
second quarter of 1996, of $.465 per share of common stock, payable August 27,
1996 to holders of record on August 16, 1996.  Concurrent with the dividend
announcement, the Operating Partnership authorized a distribution of $.465 per
Unit, payable August 27, 1996 to holders of record on August 16, 1996.

     The Company anticipates that development properties which were recently
completed will not generate their full net income potential for the year ended
December 1996.  Additionally, those properties currently under development are
expected to experience operating losses during their stabilization period from
completion to lease-up.  The Company believes, however, that the positive impact
of these development projects, once stabilized occupancy levels are achieved,
will significantly contribute to the net income from operations of the Company.

     The Company believes that the property services business has become
increasingly competitive, and is likely to remain so for the foreseeable future,
which could adversely impact future operating results.  As a result of the sale
of the commercial property services business, the Company has substantially
reduced its dependence on such service oriented revenues.  The Company intends
to continue providing its full range of residential property services to 
existing clients and select potential clients where relational, operational or
geographical efficiencies exist and will actively pursue opportunities which 
complement its current operations.

PRESENTATION

The gain on sale of the commercial property services business was determined in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "REPORTING THE
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS", whereby the commercial property services net loss of $.8
million 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.
Accordingly, a comparison of the results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 is affected by the exclusion of post-
Measurement Date revenue and expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND
JUNE 30, 1995

     Net income increased $6.5 million from the comparable period in 1995
principally as a result of the gain on sale of the commercial property services
business of $11.9 million.  Net income was also affected by a decrease in total
revenue of $.1 million, and an increase in expenses of $2.7 million, an increase
in equity in income of ventures of $.1 million, the impairment loss on real
estate held for sale of $1.1 million and an increase in minority interests in
income of $1.6 million.

     Rental income increased $2.3 million, or 11.9%, due to an increase of $.25
million in rental income on the 52 properties owned throughout both periods
("same community") and the addition of $2.09 million of income generated from
the acquisition and development of additional apartment units.  The 372 unit
Spanish Trace Apartments and the 278 unit Schooner Bay Apartments acquired in
1995 contributed $1.05 million while the completion of units developed by the
Company contributed $1.04 million.  The balance of the 1,578 apartment units
acquired in 1995 (the 708 unit Highpoint Apartments and the 220 unit Overlook
Apartments) were contributed to Paradim on April 1, 1996.  The results of
operations of the Paradim properties are included in equity in income of
ventures.  On a same community basis, average monthly base revenue per leased
apartment unit increased $6, or 1.2%, from $508 to $514 from June 30, 1995 to
June 30, 1996, respectively.  The Company believes that the increase in rental
income per occupied apartment unit was achieved primarily as a result of the
implementation of select rental increases allowed by improved economic
conditions in certain of the Company's markets.  Average occupancy for those
residential properties increased from 93.8% to 94.0% from June 30, 1995 to June
30, 1996, respectively.

<PAGE>
                   ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

     Property management income decreased $1.5 million, or 51.4%.  Leasing and
other property services income decreased $1.2 million, or 42.7%.  The decreases
were due to the exclusion of post-Measurement Date revenue for the commercial
property services business as well as terminated management contracts that were
not replaced, reduced rates charged for management services on third-party
contracts and to reduced transaction volume on which management, leasing and
other property services' fees are earned.

     Property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance increased
$1.1 million, or 12.4%, due to the acquisition and development of additional
apartment units.  The apartment units acquired in 1995 accounted for $.5 million
of the increase while the completion of units developed by the Company accounted
for $.6 million.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $.5 million, or 12.5%, due
principally to the acquisition and development of additional apartment units
off-set by the exclusion of post-Measurement Date depreciation and amortization
for the commercial property services business.

     Property management expenses remained relatively stable as the decrease
resulting from the exclusion of post-Measurement Date expenses of the commercial
property services business was off-set by additional personnel compensation 
primarily attributable to the commercial operation.


     Interest expense increased $1.3 million, or 31.8%, due to an increase in
operating debt principally associated with the acquisition and development of
additional apartment units.

     General and administrative - property services decreased $.2 million, or
11.2%, due to the exclusion of post-Measurement Date expenses of the commercial
property services business off-set by additional consulting and implementation
expenses associated with the Company's new financial reporting and information 
system.  General and administrative - corporate decreased $.1 million, or 10.9%.

     Equity in income of ventures increased $.1 million, or 66.8%, due to an
increase in income from the Company's commercial ventures and an increase 
resulting from the Company's investment in Paradim on April 1, 1996.

     During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized a gain
on sale of $11.9 million from the sale of its commercial property services
business.  Additionally, the Company began marketing for sale its wholly-owned
commercial properties (The Paragon, Southwood Mall and Westgate Shopping
Center).  As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1.1 million
to record the assets at the lower of carrying amount and estimated fair value
less costs to sell.  All of the loss was attributable to Southwood Mall.  The 
Company expects to sell the remaining commercial properties at prices in excess
of carrying amounts.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND
JUNE 30, 1995

     Net income increased $5.9 million from the comparable period in 1995
principally as a result of the gain on sale of the commercial property services
business of $11.9 million.  Net income was also affected by an increase in total
revenue of $3.1 million, and increase in expenses of $6.9 million, an increase
in equity in income of ventures of $.3 million, an increase in impairment loss
on real estate held for sale of $1.1 million and an increase in minority
interests in income of $1.4 million.

     Rental income increased $6.3 million, or 16.3%, due to an increase of $.94
million in rental income on the 52 same community properties owned throughout
both periods and the addition of $5.36 million of income generated from the
acquisition and development of additional apartment units.  The apartment units
acquired in 1995 contributed $3.55 million while the completion of units
developed by the Company contributed $1.81 million.  Of the 1,578 apartment
units acquired in 1995, 650 units (the 372 unit Spanish Trace Apartments and the
278 unit Schooner Bay Apartments) were owned for the full six month period and
contributed $2.11 million.  The balance of the apartment units acquired in 1995
(the 708 unit Highpoint Apartments and the 220 unit Overlook Apartments) were
contributed to Paradim on April 1, 1996.  The rental revenue contribution of
these units for the first three months of 1996 was $1.44 million.  On a same
community basis, average monthly base revenue per leased apartment unit
increased $6, or 1.2%, from $508 to $514 from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996,
respectively.  The Company believes that the increase in rental income per

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

occupied apartment unit was achieved primarily as a result of the implementation
of select rental increases allowed by improved economic conditions in certain of
the Company's markets.  Average occupancy for those residential properties
increased from 93.8% to 94.0% from June 30, 1995 to June 30, 1996, respectively.

     Property management income decreased $2.0 million, or 33.5%.  Leasing and
other property services income decreased $1.4 million, or 29.8%.  The decreases
were due to the exclusion of post-Measurement Date revenue for the commercial
property services business as well as terminated management contracts that were
not replaced, reduced rates charged for management services on third-party
contracts and to reduced transaction volume on which management, leasing and
other property services' fees are earned.

     Property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance increased
$3.0 million, or 18.1%, due to an increase of $.4 million, or 2.6%, in expenses
for same community properties and an increase of $2.6 million resulting from the
acquisition and development of additional apartment units.  The apartment units
acquired in 1995 accounted for $1.6 million of the increase while the completion
of units developed by the Company accounted for $1.0 million.  The increase in
expenses associated with same community properties of $.4 million was 
principally attributable to increases in repair and maintenance and other
operating expenses on certain of those properties.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6  million, or 18.7%,
due principally to the acquisition and development of additional apartment units
off-set by the exclusion of post-Measurement Date depreciation and amortization
for the commercial property services business.

     Property management expenses decreased $.6 million, or 6.3%, resulting 
from the exclusion of post-Measurement Date expenses of the commercial 
property services business, off-set by additional personnel compensation 
primarily attributable to the commercial operation.

     Interest expense increased $3.0 million, or 38.2%, due to an increase in
operating debt principally associated with the acquisition and development of
additional apartment units.

     General and administrative - property services remained relatively stable
as the decrease due to the exclusion of post-Measurement Date expenses of the
commercial property services business was offset by additional consulting and 
implementation expenses associated with the Company's new financial reporting 
and information system.  General and administrative - corporate decreased 
$.1 million, or 8.0%.

     Equity in income of ventures increased $.3 million, or 91.8%, due to an
increase of $.2 million in income from the Company's commercial ventures and 
an increase of $.1 million resulting from the acquisition of the Company's 
investment in Paradim on April 1, 1996.

     During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recognized a gain
on sale of $11.9 million from the sale of its commercial property services
business.  Additionally, the Company began marketing for sale its wholly-owned
commercial properties (The Paragon, Southwood Mall and Westgate Shopping
Center).  As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $1.1 million
to record the assets at the lower of carrying amount and estimated fair value
less costs to sell.  All of the loss was attributable to Southwood Mall.  The 
Company expects to sell the remaining commercial properties at prices in excess
of carrying amounts.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's total debt decreased from $293.8 million at December 31, 1995
to $289.5 million at June 30, 1996.  During the three months and six months
ended June 30, 1996, $.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of principal
was paid on existing mortgages and $16.5 million and $37.7 million,
respectively, was borrowed under the Company's line of credit.  The Company
repaid $7.9 million of principal on the line of credit during the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The borrowings under the line of credit were used
to fund development activity and to repay $7.9 million of debt (included in the
$8.3 million of principal paid on existing mortgages) associated with the
purchase of the 278 unit Schooner Bay apartments in December 1995.  Mortgages
payable consisted of 29 loans ($245.2 million principal amount) at June 30, 1996
at fixed interest rates ranging from 5.75% to 8.52%.  At June 30, 1996, $44.3
million was outstanding under the line of credit which consisted of five
contracts priced at interest rates

ranging from 7.44% to 7.50% (based upon LIBOR plus 2.0%) and with repricing
maturities ranging from July 1, 1996 through July 25, 1996.

     On July 27, 1996, the Company executed a renewal and modification of its
existing line of credit facility.  Under the terms of the new agreement, the
Company may borrow up to $85.0 million including up to $50.0 million 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.  At August 12, 1996, $28.0
million was outstanding under the line of credit in four separate contracts.
The weighted average interest rate under these contracts was 7.54%.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

     Under the Company's policy regarding repairs, maintenance and capital
expenditures, 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 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.

     During the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996, the Company
incurred a per unit average of $215 and $347, respectively, for normalized and
revenue enhancing capital expenditures.  Included in these per unit averages are
$89 and $139, respectively, representing 1996 revenue enhancing capital
expenditures on same community properties.  The Company implemented a program
beginning in late 1995 to upgrade selected properties which it believed would
generate the best long term yields as a result of incremental capital
investment.  Properties were generally selected due to locational and submarket
outlook and the  property's competitive position in the submarket.  This
"repositioning" plan encompasses 39 of the Company's 60 multifamily properties
(including 3 properties owned by Paradim) and is expected to be completed in the
first quarter of 1997.

     Also included in the per unit averages are $.40 and $.64 million,
respectively, of deferred maintenance and property repositioning expenditures on
four properties purchased in December 1995.  These costs represent a portion of
$2.6 million originally contemplated to be spent on these properties when they
were underwritten for purchase by the Company.

     After taking into consideration these factors, the "normalized" capital
expenditures on the properties averaged $97 and $164 per unit, respectively.
The Company expects to expend annually an average of approximately $275 per
apartment unit through 1999 for the residential properties.  This amount is
expected to be funded from Company operations, existing cash balances, and
borrowings under the line of credit.

INFLATION

     Substantially all of the residential property leases are for a term of one
year or less, which may enable the Company to seek increased rents upon renewal
of existing leases or commencement of new leases.  Such short-term leases
generally minimize the risk to the Company of the adverse effects of inflation,
although as a general rule, these leases permit residents to leave at the end of
the lease term without penalty.  Commercial property leases range in length from
1 to 25 years and most have expense pass-through provisions.

              FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

     Funds from Operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of
Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to mean net income, computed in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding
gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real
estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures.  In addition, extraordinary or unusual items,
along with significant non-recurring events that materially distort the
comparative measure of FFO, should be disregarded in its calculation. Management
generally considers FFO to be a useful measure of the operating performance of
an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides
investors with an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur
and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures.  FFO
does not represent cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP,
should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the
Company's operating performance and is not indicative of cash available to fund
all cash flow needs, including principal amortization, capital improvements and
distributions to stockholders.  Further, FFO as disclosed by other REITs may not
be comparable to the Company's calculation of FFO.

     Consistent with the interpretive guidance by NAREIT, beginning with the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company changed its method of calculating FFO.
The change primarily results in the Company no longer adding back certain non-
cash and non-real estate depreciation and amortization charges to net income in
determining FFO.  The impact of the change was a reduction in FFO of
approximately $718 and $601, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 
1996 and June 30, 1995.  The following table represents the Company's 
calculation of FFO for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,
as restated (dollars in thousands):
