               AND EXHIBITS


THE FAIRINGTON

On October 14, 1998, the Company acquired The Fairington, a garden-style
apartment community in Charlotte, North Carolina. The community, which
contains 250 units, was purchased for approximately $18,000,000 from Sentinel
Realty Partners II, L.P. The community consists of 21 two- and three-story
buildings and is located in the South Park area, five miles from downtown
Charlotte and 10 miles from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport. Built in
1980 - 1982, The Fairington contains 108 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments,
106 two-bedroom, two-bath apartments, and 36 three-bedroom, three-bath
apartments. Each unit has its own full-size washer/dryer connection, private
entryway and patio or balcony. Select units include wood burning fireplaces,
bay windows and extra storage space. Amenities include two swimming pools,
two tennis courts, clubhouse, a fitness facility and two on-site laundry
facilities.

MATERIAL FACTORS CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING THE PROPERTY

The factors considered by the Company to be relevant in evaluating the
property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

The Company believes that the community is located in a very desirable part
of Charlotte. The community has up-to-date amenity packages. The Company owns
another property in the same area. The Company believes that this proximity
will create management efficiencies.

The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the
property not set forth in this report that would cause the financial
information contained in this report not to be indicative of future operating
results as related to revenues and certain expense.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To Board of Trustees
The Town and Country Trust


We have audited the accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain
expenses of The Fairington (the "Property") as described in Note 2 for the
year ended December 31, 1997. This historical statement of revenue and
certain expenses is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the historical statement of
revenue and certain expenses 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 statement of revenue
and certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the historical statement of revenue and certain expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the basis of accounting used and the significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
historical statement of revenue and certain expenses. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the 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 Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the historical statement of revenue and certain expenses
referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and
certain expenses described in Note 2 of The Fairington for the year ended
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires

COLONIAL GRAND AT KIRKMAN

On March 31, 1999, the Company acquired Colonial Grand at Kirkman, a
garden-style apartment community in Orlando, Florida. The community, which
contains 370 units, was purchased for approximately $25,000,000 from Colonial
Realty, L.P. The community consists of 14 two-and three-story buildings and
is located two miles west of Interstate 4 in the Metro West section of
Orlando, five miles southwest of the downtown Orlando business district and
within one mile of Universal Studios. Built in 1992, Kirkman contains 156
one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, 106 two-bedroom, one-bath apartments, 54
two-bedroom, two-bath apartments and 54 three-bedroom, two-bath apartments.
Each unit has its own full-size washer and dryer connection, optional
attached garage, private entryway and a patio or balcony. Amenities include
lighted tennis courts, air-conditioned racquetball court, sand and water
volleyball, fitness center, lagoon- style swimming pool, two heated lap pools
and a heated spa.

MATERIAL FACTORS CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING THE PROPERTY

The factors considered by the Company to be relevant in evaluating the
property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

The Company believes that the community is located in a very desirable part
of Orlando. The community is relatively new and has up-to-date amenity
packages. The Company owns other properties in the same area. The Company
believes that this proximity will create management efficiencies.

The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the
property not set forth in this report that would cause the financial information
contained in this report not to be indicative of future operating results as
related to revenues and certain expense.

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 statement of revenue
and certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures

historical statement of revenue and certain expenses. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the

HERON'S RUN

On October 5, 1999, the Company acquired Heron's Run, a garden-style
apartment community in Sarasota, Florida. The community, which contains 274
units, was purchased for approximately $15,000,000 from Summit Properties
Partnership, L.P. The community consists of 9 three-story buildings and is
located 1 1/4 miles west of I-75. Built in 1990, Heron's Run contains 148
one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, 30 two-bedroom, one-bath apartments and 96
two-bedroom, two- bath apartments. Each unit has a full-sized stack
washer/dryer or hookup, high ceilings, and a large patio or balcony.
Amenities include a swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness facilities, and a car
wash area.

The proceeds of the sale of a community in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania were used
to acquire Heron's Run in a transaction that was treated as a tax-free
exchange. Heron's Run has been added to the collateral pool provided to
Fannie Mae in connection with the Company's $375 million credit facility.

MATERIAL FACTORS CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING THE PROPERTY

The factors considered by the Company to be relevant in evaluating the
Property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

The Company believes that the community is located in a very desirable part
of Sarasota. The community is relatively new and has up-to-date amenity
packages. The Company also acquired other properties in the area, including
McIntosh, which is less than one mile away. The Company believes that this
proximity will create management efficiencies.

The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the property not
set forth in this report that would cause the financial information contained
in this report not to be indicative of future operating results as related to
revenues and certain expense.

units.

NOTE 2   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying historical statement of

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Rental revenue is recognized as income in the period earned. Leases are
generally for one year or less.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the historical statement of revenue and certain expenses
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results
may differ from those estimates.

INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying unaudited historical statement of revenue and certain
expenses has been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments necessary for
the fair presentation of the accompanying unaudited historical statement of
revenue and certain expenses for the interim period have been made. The
results of operations for the interim period ended June 30, 1999 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 3   RELATED PARTIES

Management and leasing activities for the Property are performed by
a related party to the owner.

PERICO

On October 5, 1999, the Company acquired Perico, a garden-style apartment
community in Bradenton, Florida. The community, which contains 256 units, was
purchased for approximately $13,400,000 from Summit Properties Partnership,
L.P. The community consists of 12 three-story buildings and is located 1 1/2
miles from the Gulf of Mexico. Built in 1989, Perico contains 117
one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, 46 two-bedroom, one-bath apartments and 93
two-bedroom, two-bath apartments. Each unit has a spa-style tub, high
ceilings, and a patio or balcony. Select units include a washer/dryer hookup.
Amenities include a swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness facilities, and a car
wash area. The community also includes 50 rentable garages.

MATERIAL FACTORS CONSIDERED IN ASSESSING THE PROPERTY

The factors considered by the Company to be relevant in evaluating the
property for acquisition by the Company included the following:

The Company believes that the community is located in a very desirable part
of Bradenton. The community is relatively new and has up-to-date amenity
packages. The Company also acquired other properties in the
Sarasota-Bradenton area. The Company believes that this proximity
will create management efficiencies.

The Company is not aware of any material factors relating to the
property not set forth in this report that would cause the financial information
contained in this report not to be indicative of future operating results as
related to revenues and certain expense.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


To Board of Trustees
The Town and Country Trust

We have audited the accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain
expenses of Perico (the "Property") as described in Note 2 for the year ended
December 31, 1998. This historical statement of revenue and certain expenses
is the responsibility of the Property's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the historical statement of revenue and certain
expenses 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 statement of revenue
and certain expenses is free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the historical statement of revenue and certain expenses. An audit also
includes assessing the basis of accounting used and the significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
historical statement of revenue and certain expenses. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying historical statement of revenue and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the 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 Property's revenue and expenses.

In our opinion, the historical statement of revenue and certain expenses
referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and
certain expenses described in Note 2 of Perico for the year ended December
31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1998 (UNAUDITED)

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year
ended December 31, 1998, is presented as if the 8 property acquisitions made
during 1998 and 1999 had occurred on January 1, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma
Financial Statement also assumes the October 5, 1999 sale of Union Deposit in
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which occurred immediately prior to the period
presented.  The proceeds from the sale of Union Deposit were used to acquire
Heron's Run in Sarasota, Florida, in a like-kind exchange transaction.
Therefore, the results of operations of Union Deposit have been removed from
the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Operations assumes the
Company qualifying as a REIT, distributing at least 95% of its taxable
income, and, therefore, incurred no federal income tax liability for the
period presented. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to
reflect the effects of these transactions have been made.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of the Company would have been for the year ended December 31,
1998 if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the year, nor does
it purport to be indicative of the results of operations in future periods.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations should be read
in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Company's
respective historical financial statements and notes thereto.

(a) Represents the depreciation expense of the properties acquired based on
the purchase price, excluding amounts allocated to land, for the period of time
not owned by the Company. The weighted average life of the property
depreciated was 34.9 years.

(b) Represents the interest expense for the 8 properties purchased using the
line of credit for the period in which the properties were not owned for the
twelve month period ended December 31, 1998. Interest was computed based on
the interest rates under the Company's line of credit in effect at the time
of the respective acquisition.  Heron's Run was acquired in a like-kind
exchange transaction and, accordingly, no additional debt was incurred.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999, is presented as if the 4 property
acquisitions made during 1999 had occurred on January 1, 1999. The Unaudited
Pro Forma Financial Statement also assumes the October 5, 1999 sale of Union
Deposit in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which occurred immediately prior to the
period presented.  The proceeds from the sale of Union Deposit were used to
acquire Heron's Run in Sarasota, Florida, in a like-kind exchange
transaction.  Therefore, the results of operations of Union Deposit have been
removed from the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated
Statement of Operations assumes the Company qualifying as a REIT,
distributing at least 95% of its taxable income, and, therefore, incurred no
federal income tax liability for the period presented. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these
transactions have been made.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual results of the Company would have been for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 if the acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of the
year, nor does it purport to be indicative of the results of operations in
future periods. The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations
should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the
Company's respective historical financial statements and notes thereto.

(a) Represents the depreciation expense of the properties acquired based on
the purchase price, excluding amounts allocated to land, for the period of time
not owned by the Company. The weighted average life of the property
depreciated was 34.9 years.

(b) Represents the interest expense for the 4 properties purchased using the
line of credit for the period in which the properties were not owned for the
twelve month period ended December 31, 1998. Interest was computed based on
the interest rates under the Company's line of credit in effect at the time
of the respective acquisition.  Heron's Run was acquired in a like-kind
exchange transaction and, accordingly, no additional debt was incurred.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 (UNAUDITED)

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented as if the
Company had owned the properties included in the table below as of
September 30, 1999.  The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statement also assumes
the October 5, 1999 sale of Union Deposit, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, which
occurred immediately prior to the period presented.  The proceeds from the
sale of Union Deposit were used to acquire Heron's Run in Sarasota, Florida
in a like-kind exchange transaction.  Therefore, the financial position at
Union Deposit has been removed from the Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of September 30, 1999.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet is presented for
comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the
actual financial position of the Company would have been at September 30,
1999 if the acquisitions had occurred at September 30, 1999, nor does it
purport to present the future financial position of the Company. The
Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet should be read in conjunction
with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the Company's respective
historical financial statements and notes thereto.
