    BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Colonial Properties
Trust (NYSE: CLP) (the "Company") today reported net income available to
common shareholders of $6.4 million or $0.24 per fully diluted share (EPS) for
the second quarter 2004; for the same period in 2003, net income available to

    Funds from operations (FFO) for the second quarter were $32.7 million, or
$0.87 per fully diluted share/unit (FFOPS), compared to $27.0 million, or
$0.77 per share/unit for the same period a year ago.  On a year-to-date basis,
FFOPS was $1.73 in 2004 as compared to $1.64 for the same period in 2003.  In
the second quarter of 2003, the Company incurred a one-time $4.5 million non-
cash charge related to the redemption of its 8.75% series A preferred shares.
A reconciliation from 'net income available to common shareholders' to 'funds
from operations' is provided in the attached tables.
    On a same-property basis, the multifamily, office and retail divisions
posted net operating income (NOI) results of a 4.4 percent increase, 13.8
percent decrease and 2.2 percent increase, respectively, for the second
quarter 2004, as compared to the same period a year ago. In the second quarter
of 2003, the office division recorded $2.2 million in lease termination fees;
excluding lease termination fees for both periods, the office division's same-
property growth was a 1.8 percent decrease.  Occupancies at the end of the
period for the Company's stabilized properties were 96 percent, 91 percent and
89 percent for the multifamily, office and retail divisions, respectively.  A
reconciliation of 'total divisional net operating income' to 'income from
continuing operations before discontinued operations' is provided in the
attached tables.
    "With continued expansion in the economy, the Company is experiencing
improvements in same-property growth and solid leasing activity in retail and
multifamily," stated Thomas H. Lowder, chairman and chief executive officer.
"While the office sector lags other property types, the Company's office
portfolio has maintained strong performance in the Huntsville and Birmingham
markets."

    Pursuant to the definition of Funds from Operations ("FFO") adopted by
    the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate
    Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), FFO is calculated by adjusting net
    income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding
    gains (or losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation
    and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures.  Adjustments for unconsolidated
    partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the
    same basis.
    The Company believes that FFO is useful to investors because it
    provides an additional indicator of the Company's financial and
    operating performance.  This is because, by excluding the effect of real
    estate depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of properties (all of
    which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in
    evaluating current performance), FFO can facilitate comparison of
    operating performance among equity REITs. FFO is a widely recognized
    measure in the Company's industry. FFO does not represent cash
    generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP,
    and should not be considered as an alternative to net cash flows
    from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), as a
    measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make
    cash distributions.

    Divisional NOI is defined as total property revenues, including
    unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, less real estate expenses
    (such items as repairs and maintenance, payroll, utilities, property
    taxes, insurance, advertising, management fees).
    The Company believes Total Divisional NOI (and other NOI measures
    aggregating segment data) is useful to investors as a meaningful
    indicator of property level operating performance and current market
    conditions affecting the Company.  Additionally, the Company also
    believes Total Divisional NOI (and such other NOI measures) is useful to
    investors because NOI is commonly used industry-wide to evaluate
    and compare property level operating results of real estate companies,
    allowing investors to view the Company in comparison to these other
    real estate companies.  The Company cautions investors that other real
    estate companies may calculate Total Divisional NOI on a basis
    different than the Company.  In addition, Total Divisional NOI (and such
    other NOI measures) should not be viewed as a substitute measure
    of performance for GAAP income from continuing operations or other
    applicable GAAP performance measures.
