Exhibit 99(b)

Koger Enters Dallas Market with the Acquisition of Two Properties

    BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2003--Koger Equity,
Inc. (NYSE:KE) today announced that it has signed a definitive
agreement with State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio to acquire the
Rosemeade Building and CIGNA Plaza in Dallas, Texas for $33.15 million
in cash. The buildings encompass approximately 280,000 square feet of
rentable space and are currently 96% leased. Based on the in-place net
operating income, Koger will purchase the properties at a
capitalization rate of approximately 13.4%. The Company currently
anticipates financing the two properties with proceeds from a 10-year
fixed rate secured mortgage loan of approximately 65% of the purchase
price with the remainder drawn against the Company's secured line of
credit. The Company expects to close the acquisition in late August.
The Company may initially fund the entire acquisition on the Company's
secured line of credit, if the secured mortgage loan cannot close
simultaneously with the acquisition closing date.
    The Rosemeade Building is located at the intersection of the
George Bush Turnpike and the Dallas North Tollway in the highly
desirable Far North Dallas submarket. CIGNA Plaza is located at the
intersection of State Highway 114 and the George Bush Turnpike, in the
heart of Las Colinas and adjacent to the Dallas/Ft. Worth
International Airport.
    Tom Crocker, CEO, said, "We are pleased to enter the Dallas market
with the acquisition of these strategically located Class A
properties. This transaction furthers our strategy of acquiring
quality product in highly desirable locations within major cities in
the Southeastern United States and Texas. The limited exposure to
near-term rollover will allow these properties to weather the current
weakness in the Dallas office market. We have confidence in the
long-term viability of this market and will consider other acquisition
opportunities as they surface."
    Estimates and certain other matters discussed in this press
release may be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although Koger
Equity, Inc. believes the expectations reflected in such
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions; there

factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the
Company's expectations are set forth as risk factors in the company's
SEC reports and filings, including its annual report on Form 10-K.

timely lease or re-lease space at current or anticipated rents to
creditworthy tenants; its ability to achieve economies of scale over
time; the demand for tenant services beyond those traditionally
provided by landlords; changes in interest rates; changes in operating
costs; its ability to attract and retain high-quality personnel at a
reasonable cost in a highly competitive labor environment; future
demand for its debt and equity securities; its ability to refinance
its debt on reasonable terms at maturity; and its ability to complete
current and future development projects on schedule and on budget.
Many of these factors are beyond the Company's ability to control or
predict. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.

herein, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for
forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company assumes no obligation to
