Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To Participants and Administrator of the Colonial Properties Trust 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for benefits of the Colonial Properties Trust 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. The statement of net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2005, was audited by other auditors whose report, dated June 29, 2006, except for Note 8 as to which the date is June 26, 2007, expressed an unqualified opinion on that statement.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2006, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of December 31, 2006, is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary information required by the United States Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Colonial Properties Trust
401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2006
1.   General
 
    Principal Trust Company (“Principal”) is the trustee and the investment manager of the Colonial Properties Trust 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to a trust agreement dated July 25, 2006. Principal Life Insurance Company Retirement and Investor Services is the recordkeeper of the Plan. Prior to July 25, 2006, the Plan was managed by AMVESCAP.
 
    On August 10, 2006, the Board of Trustees of Colonial Properties Trust (the “Company” or “Employer”) voted to merge the Cornerstone Realty Income Trust, Inc. Employee Retirement Plan (“Cornerstone”) and the CRT Properties, Inc. 401(k) Plan (“CRT”), (collectively, the “Merged Plans”) into the Colonial Properties Trust 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan. In September 2006, assets, of $2,620,047 from Cornerstone and $5,730,808 from CRT were transferred to the Plan. In addition, in September 2006, the trustee for the plan was changed to Principal and all plan assets were transferred to Principal.
 
    The Plan was established on January 1, 1995, by the Company as a defined contribution plan for the benefit of all eligible employees of the Company. The Plan is subject to the provisions set forth in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and is funded by discretionary employee and employer contributions.
 
2.   Description of the Plan
 
    The following description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
 
    Eligibility
 
    Employees are eligible to join the elective deferral portion of the Plan as of the first day of employment. Employees are eligible to participate in the Company matching and profit sharing portions of the Plan after completion of one year of service. A year of service is defined as a period of twelve consecutive months during which an employee works at least 1,000 hours.
 
    Employee Contributions
 
    The amount of salary reduction for any plan year shall be at least 1% of the participant’s compensation for such plan year, subject to the maximum allowed by the Internal Revenue Code ($15,000 per participant in 2006). The amount of the salary reduction is remitted by the Employer to the Plan’s trustee at the end of each pay period.
 
    Effective for the plan year beginning January 1, 2002, the Plan elected to implement the “catch-up” provision provided for in Section 414(v) of the Internal Revenue Code. This provision enables applicable employer plans to allow eligible participants who are age 50 or over to make additional deferrals, which began in 2002.
 
    Employer’s Contributions
 
    The Employer shall make a matching contribution in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of compensation a participant elects to defer. The employer matching contribution shall be provided to each eligible participant who made a contribution during the Plan year and was employed by the Company on the last day of the Plan year.

401(k) Profit Sharing Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2006
    The Employer may also contribute a discretionary profit sharing contribution to the Plan for each plan year, which shall be in addition to the employer matching contribution. The amount of such discretionary contribution, if any, for any plan year shall be determined by the Board of Trustees of the Company. No discretionary contributions were made in 2006.
 
    Participant Accounts
 
    Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution and allocations of (a) the Company’s contribution and (b) plan earnings. Earnings allocations are based on the amount the participant has invested in a particular fund. Employer matching contributions are allocated based on the participant’s elected deferral percentage. Discretionary contributions are allocated proportionately based on the compensation of each individual participant relative to the compensation of all participants. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
 
    Investment Options
 
    The Plan provides participants with various investment options, including seventeen mutual funds, one guaranteed investment contract and one common stock fund. The Plan currently holds one additional common stock fund and one common/collective trust that are no longer available as investment options for employees.
 
    Forfeitures
 
    The nonvested portion of a terminated employee’s account balance shall be forfeited and used to reduce employer contributions otherwise payable for the plan year in which such forfeitures arise or for any succeeding plan year, unless the employee resumes employment before he or she incurs a five-year break. During 2006, forfeitures in the amount of $24,847 were used to offset employer contributions.
 
    Participant Loans
 
    Participant loans are not permissible under the current terms of the Plan. The Merged Plans included loan features that were available to eligible participants. Under such plans, loans were made from the participant’s account, reducing the investment balance and creating a receivable in a loan fund. The loans from the Merged Plans were transferred into the Plan in the current year. These loans are secured by the participant’s vested account balance and bear interest rates that range from 5.0% to 10.5%, which are commensurate with prevailing market rates. Loans are repaid through payroll deduction including principal and interest. As of December 31, 2006, the Plan had a loan balance of $53,551 with an average remaining term of approximately 1.8 years. After such loans are repaid, there will be no additional loans issued under the terms of the current plan.
 
    Distribution of Benefits
 
    Participants’ vested account balances represent the benefits available to the participants upon retirement, disability, death or termination of employment. In addition, distributions to participants on account of financial hardship may be made in certain circumstances limited under the terms of the Plan. Benefit payments are made in the form of lump sum distributions, direct rollovers or annuities.

    Vesting
 
    A participant’s interest in his or her salary reduction account shall at all times be fully vested and nonforfeitable. A participant’s interest in his or her employer contributions shall be fully vested and nonforfeitable upon the occurrence of any of the following events: death or attainment of normal retirement date while in the service of the employer, termination of the Plan, or complete discontinuance of all employer contributions. Prior to the occurrence of any of the preceding events, a vested interest in employer contributions shall be determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule:
         
Number of Years of Service   Percentage
1 year
    20 %
2 years
    40 %
3 years
    60 %
4 years
    80 %
5 years or more
    100 %
    Employees of the Merged Plans shall receive credit for years of vesting service for the period of employment with the acquired company. All benefits transferred from the Merged Plans for employees remaining with the Company after the acquisitions were fully-vested. Transferred account balances of participants who terminated employment prior to the date of acquisition remained vested according to the applicable vesting schedule as of the date of termination.
 
    Amendment and Termination
 
    It is the intention of the Company to continue the Plan indefinitely. The Company reserves the right to modify, amend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part at any time in writing provided that any such modification, amendment or termination does not make it possible for any portion of the fund to be used for or diverted for purposes other than the exclusive benefit of the participants or their beneficiaries, after the payment of administrative expenses or taxes. Upon termination of the Plan, plan assets will be distributed to participants and their beneficiaries in accordance with the Plan and subject to ERISA guidelines.
 
3.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
    Basis of Accounting
 
    The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
    As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans (the “FSP”), investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions

    under the term of the Plan. As required by the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully-benefit responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis.
 
    Risks and Uncertainties
 
    The Plan provides for various investment options. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities and the level of uncertainty related to changes in the value of investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in risks in the near term could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for plan benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits.
 
    Investments
 
    Shares of mutual funds are quoted at market values, which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year end. The investment in the common/collective trust fund is valued at the unit value as reported by the Trustee of the fund at each valuation date. Investments in common stock are stated at fair value. Fair values were determined by the recordkeeper based on quoted market prices at December 31, 2006 and 2005, as of the last trade date of the year. Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which approximate fair value. The fair value of the guaranteed investment contract is calculated by discounting the related cash flows based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the market value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
 
    Purchases and sales of securities are reflected as of the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Investment income is recorded on the accrual basis.
 
    Contributions
 
    Contributions receivable from participant’s elective deferrals of salary are recorded based on unremitted deductions from participant’s compensation. Contributions receivable from the Employer are recorded based upon a matching contribution calculated on the last day of the year.
 
    Benefit Payments
 
    Benefit payments consist of payments to participants (or, if applicable, the beneficiary) at retirement, disability, death or termination of employment. Benefit payments are made in the form of lump sum distributions, direct rollovers or annuities. Benefits are recorded when paid.
 
    Use of Estimates
 
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of additions and deductions during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

5.   Investment Contract with Insurance Company
 
    In 2006, the Plan entered into a fully benefit-responsive investment contract with Principal Life Insurance Company (“PLIC”). PLIC maintains the contributions in a general account. The account is credited with earnings on the underlying investments and charged for participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. The guaranteed investment contract issuer is contractually obligated to repay the principal and a specified interest rate that is guaranteed to the Plan.
 
    As described in Note 3, because the guaranteed investment contract is fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits attributable to the guaranteed investment contract. Contract value, as reported to the Plan by PLIC, represents contributions made under the contract, plus earnings, less participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value.
 
    There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than zero. Such interest rates are reviewed on a semi-annual basis for resetting.
 
    Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1) amendments to the plan documents (including complete or partial plan termination or merger with another plan), (2) changes to the plan’s prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash provisions, (3) bankruptcy of the plan sponsor or other plan sponsor events (for example, divestitures or spin-offs of a subsidiary) that cause a significant withdrawal from the plan, or (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. The Plan administrator does not believe that the occurrence of any such value event, which would limit the Plan’s ability to transact at contract value with participants, is probable.
 
    If the Plan Sponsor decides to terminate the Plan’s interest in the investment contract, there will be a twelve month delay in the payment. The Plan Sponsor may request immediate payment subject to a 5% surrender fee.
 
    The guaranteed investment contract does not permit the insurance company to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.
         
Average Yields   2006
 
Based on interest rate credited to participants
    3.30 %
Based on actual earnings
    3.30 %
 
6.   Tax Status
 
    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company, by a letter dated August 21, 2002, that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, the Plan administrator and the Plan’s tax counsel believe that the Plan is designed and is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the IRC.

Notes to Financial Statements
Year Ended December 31, 2006
    The Plan is a salary reduction profit sharing plan, whereby employee contributions to the Plan within specified limits are not included in the gross income of the participant.
 
7.   Related Party Transactions
 
    The Employer pays administrative expenses on behalf of the Plan, including legal, trust, administrative and accounting fees.
 
    Plan investments include investment funds managed by the Trustee, as defined by the Plan, and the Plan’s recordkeeper, Principal, and therefore investment purchases and sales of these investment funds and the related interest income qualify as party-in-interest transactions. Plan investments also include shares of the Company’s common stock, and the investment election of the common stock is voluntary by participants.
 
8.   Retroactive Adjustment to December 31, 2005 Statement of Net Assets for FSP
 
    The statement of net assets as of December 31, 2005 has been retroactively adjusted to present the Plan’s investment in the Regions Bank Stable Principal Fund at fair value and the adjustment from fair value to contract value in the amount of $77,341 in accordance with the FSP.
