ITEM 2.           ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         In connection with the April 8, 1998 merger of Oasis Residential, Inc.
with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Camden Property Trust, a Texas real
estate investment trust ("Camden"), Camden disclosed its intentions of forming
a joint venture partnership (the "Joint Venture") in order to transfer into the
Joint Venture 18 apartment communities located in Las Vegas and one apartment
community located in Laughlin, Nevada.

         On June 30, 1998, Camden completed the transfer (the "Transaction") 
of the 19 apartment communities (the "Properties") for an aggregate of $248
million to Sierra-Nevada Multifamily Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company of which Camden is the managing member and has a 20% interest
(the "LLC"). The remaining 80% interest is owned by a Fortune 500 company
pension fund represented by Schroder Real Estate Associates.

         The Transaction was consummated pursuant to (i) an Agreement of
Purchase and Sale, dated June 26, 1998, by and between NQRS, Inc., a Nevada
corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Camden, and the LLC; (ii) an
Agreement of Purchase and Sale, dated June 26, 1998, by and between Camden
Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Camden
("Camden Sub"), and the LLC; and (iii) a Contribution Agreement, dated June 26,
1998, by and between Camden Sub and the LLC.

          The Transaction was funded with capital invested by the LLC
members, the assumption of $9.9 million of existing indebtedness and two new
debt financings. The first new debt facility consisted of 17 cross
collateralized and cross defaulted loans made by Berkshire Mortgage Finance
Limited Partnership ("Berkshire") to the LLC in an aggregate principal amount of
$180 million, which loans were funded through an issuance of Freddie Mac PC Gold
mortgage backed securities. Such loans were issued pursuant to the terms of a
commitment letter dated June 26, 1998. 

         The second new debt facility consisted of two second lien mortgage 
loans to the LLC pursuant to the Federal National Mortgage Association
Multifamily Delegated Underwriting and Servicing product line for
mortgage-backed securities for two of the Properties in an aggregate principal
amount of $7,040,000. Such loans were issued pursuant to the terms of two
commitment letters, each of which was dated June 23, 1998 and was between
Washington Mortgage Financial Group, Ltd. and the LLC.

         Camden used the net proceeds from the Transaction to reduce
outstanding debt by $124 million, and set aside $112 million into an escrow
account which may be used to make tax-free exchange acquisitions or to further
reduce debt if the exchange acquisitions are not completed. No book gain or loss
was recorded by Camden as a result of the Transaction.

         Pursuant to two Residential Property Management and Exclusive Leasing
Agreements, each of which is dated as of June 29, 1998 and is by and between the
LLC and Camden Development, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Camden ("Camden Development"), Camden Development will provide all
management and maintenance operations of the Properties.
