dated December 17, 1997 (collectively,  the "Initial Statement") filed by Apollo

AREA II and Realty Trust are  sometimes  collectively  referred to herein as the
"Reporting  Persons."  Capitalized  terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement. The Initial Statement is
supplementally amended as follows.

Item 1.   Security and Issuer.

          This  statement  relates to shares of common stock common stock,  $.01
par value per share (the  "Common  Stock"),  of Koger  Equity,  Inc.,  a Florida
corporation (the "Company"),  which has its principal  executive  offices at 433
Plaza Real, Suite 335, Boca Raton, Florida 33432.

Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The first  paragraph of Item 3 is hereby amended and  supplemented  to
add the following:

          Since the date of the last filing by the Reporting Persons on Schedule
13D, Realty Trust acquired an additional 173,877 shares of Common Stock pursuant
to the Company's dividend reinvestment plan. The source of funds used to acquire
beneficial  ownership  of such shares of Common  Stock was  reinvestment  of the
Company's dividends received by Realty Trust.

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          Paragraphs  (a) and (b) of Item 5 are hereby  amended and  restated in
their entirety as follows:

          (a) and (b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons are deemed to
beneficially  own an aggregate of 5,733,772  shares of the Common  Stock,  which
constitutes approximately 21.38% of the Common Stock outstanding.*

          Realty Trust owns,  directly,  5,733,772 shares of Common Stock, as to
which  it has sole  voting  and  dispositive  power.  AREIF  II owns  indirectly
(through  Realty Trust),  5,733,772  shares of Common Stock,  as to which it has
sole voting and  dispositive  power.  AREA II, the managing  general  partner of
AREIF II, is deemed to beneficially  own and to have sole voting and dispositive
power over such 5,733,772 shares of Common Stock.

          Paragraph (c) of Item 5 is hereby amended to include the following:

          (c)  Except  as  described  in  Item  6  below,  there  have  been  no
transactions  effected with respect to the shares of Common Stock since June 28,
2001 (60 days prior to the date hereof) by any of the Reporting Persons.

          *    All calculations of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are
based on there being  26,815,649  shares of Common Stock  outstanding as of July
31, 2001,  as disclosed in the Company's  Quarterly  Report of Form 10-Q for the
period ended June 30, 2001.

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements,  Understandings or Relationships with Respect
          to Securities of the Issuer.

          This Item 6 is hereby supplementally amended to include the following:

          On August 23,  2001,  Realty  Trust  entered  into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement  (the  "Agreement")  with the Company,  pursuant to which Realty Trust
agreed to purchase  from the  Company  and the Company  agreed to sell to Realty
Trust,  on the terms and conditions  set forth in the Agreement (the "Sale"),  a
portfolio of suburban office parks,  consisting of 75 office buildings,  and one
retail center  consisting of seven  buildings  (collectively,  the  "Property"),
located in Alabama,  Texas,  North Carolina and South  Carolina,  for a purchase
price of (a)  $208,259,648;  (b) the  5,733,772  shares of Company  Common Stock
owned  by  Realty  Trust;  and (c) a  membership  interest  in the  wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Realty  Trust  acquiring  the  Property.  Under the terms of the
Agreement,  the  Company  has the right to market the  Property  for a period of
ninety  days  pursuant to which other  bidders  may submit  competing  offers to
purchase the Property.  Accordingly, there is no certainty that the Sale will be
consummated. If the Sale is consummated, Realty Trust will no longer own and the
other Reporting  Persons will cease to own any shares of Company Common Stock. A
copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and is incorporated herein
by reference.

          The  foregoing  description  of the  Agreement  does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the  Agreement,  which
are incorporated herein by reference.

          Except as set  forth  above,  the  Reporting  Persons  do not have any
contracts,  arrangements,  understandings  or relationships  with respect to any
securities of the Issuer.

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

          The Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
