                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

Board of Trustees
N'Tandem Trust

We have  audited the  accompanying  Historical  Summary of  Revenues  and Direct
Operating Expenses (the "Historical  Summary") of Lexington Estates and Suburban
Estates (the  "Properties") for the year ended December 31, 1997. The Historical
Summary is the  responsibility of the Properties'  owners. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards  require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.
An audit includes  examining,  on a test basis,  evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the Historical  Summary. An audit also includes assessing the
basis of accounting used and significant  estimates made by the owners,  as well
as evaluating the overall  presentation  of the Historical  Summary.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  Historical  Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying
with  rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission,  as
described  in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete  presentation  of the
Properties' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all
material respects,  the revenues and direct operating expenses described in Note
2 of the  Properties  for the year ended  December 31, 1997, in conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                     NOTES TO HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF REVENUES
                          AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
                                   -------

1.     BUSINESS:

       The Historical Summary of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses includes
       the operations of Lexington Estates and Suburban Estates.  The properties
       are located in the state of Maryland.  These  properties were acquired by
       N'Tandem Trust in December 1998.  Lexington  Estates and Suburban Estates
       include a combined total of 211 sites.


2.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accounts of Lexington  Estates and Suburban  Estates are combined in
        the statement of revenues and direct operating  expenses.  The financial
        statement is not  representative  of the actual  operations for the year
        presented as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses
        expected  to be  incurred  in the  future  operations  of  the  acquired
        properties have been excluded in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation
        S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Expenses excluded consist
        of interest,  depreciation,  amortization,  and other costs not directly
        related to the future operations of the properties.

        REVENUE RECOGNITION

        Rental income  attributable  to residential  leases is recorded when due
        from tenants.

        ESTIMATES

        The preparation of the financial  statement requires  management to make
        estimates  and  assumptions.   Actual  results  could  differ  from  the
        estimates included in the financial statement.

3.     RELATED PARTY:

        Certain owners and members of the management of Pascal-Turner  LTD., the
        manager of Lexington  Estates and Suburban  Estates,  also had ownership
        interests in Lexington  Estates and Suburban Estates or had loaned money
        to those entities prior to the acquisition by N'Tandem.  An affiliate of
        one of the owners of Pascal-Turner  LTD. also had an outstanding loan at
        December 31, 1997.  Pursuant to a management  agreement  with  N'Tandem,
        Pascal-Turner  LTD.  will  receive  5% of  gross  rental  revenues  as a
        management  fee for  services to be  performed  for  Lexington  Estates,
        Suburban Estates, and Southern Mobile Home Park.

        Exchange  Commission  (the   "Commission").   The  unaudited  pro  forma
        condensed  statements of operations  are not  necessarily  indicative of
        what actual  results of  operations of the Trust would have been had the
        acquisitions  occurred  on  January  1, 1997 nor does it  represent  the
        results of operations of the Trust for future periods.
