                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


TO TRAMMELL CROW RESIDENTIAL SOUTH FLORIDA GROUP:

We have  audited  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet of  TRAMMELL  CROW
RESIDENTIAL SOUTH FLORIDA GROUP as of December 31, 1997 and the related combined
statements of operations,  partners' and owners' equity,  and cash flows for the
year then  ended.  These  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Group's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion  on these
financial  statements  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  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 financial position of Trammell Crow Residential South
Florida Group as of December 31, 1997 and the results of its  operations and its
cash  flows  for the year  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles.

                 TRAMMELL CROW RESIDENTIAL SOUTH FLORIDA GROUP

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

                             (Dollars in Thousands)

1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Trammell Crow Residential  South Florida Group ("TCR/SF" or the "Group") engages
in the  development,  construction,  and  management  of  multifamily  apartment
communities in the South Florida region.  On April 1, 1998,  Gables  Residential
Trust ("Gables") acquired the properties and operations of the Group, consisting
of 15 multifamily  apartment  communities (the "South Florida  Communities") and
all  of  TCR/SF's  residential  construction  and  development  and  third-party
management  activities.  Such  acquisition  was made pursuant to a  Contribution
Agreement dated March 16, 1998 (the "Contribution Agreement") between Gables and
certain  entities  affiliated  with the Group. 

As of December 31, 1997, the 15 South Florida  Communities  consisted of a total
of 4,197 apartment  homes,  assuming the completion of three  communities  under
construction at December 31, 1997 expected to comprise 767 apartment  homes. Two
of the communities under  construction at December 31, 1997 were in the lease-up
stage at December 31, 1997.  The South  Florida  Communities  are located in the
metropolitan areas of Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami. In addition, as of
December 31, 1997,  TCR/SF has  contracts or options to acquire  parcels of land
for future development.

2.   SUMMARY  OF  SIGNIFICANT  ACCOUNTING  POLICIES  

Principles of Combination  
- -------------------------
  
The accompanying  combined financial statements of TCR/SF have been presented on
a combined  basis  because of common  ownership,  control,  and  management  and
because  the  assets of the Group are the  subject of an  acquisition  by Gables
which  was  consummated  on  April  1,  1998.  

All significant accounts and transactions between entities included in the Group
as of  December  31,  1997 and for the year then ended have been  eliminated  in
combination.

Use of Estimates
- ----------------

The preparation of financial  statements in conformity  with generally  accepted
accounting principles 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 date of the financial  statements and
the  reported  amounts of revenues  and expenses  during the  reporting  period.
Actual  results  could  differ  from those  estimates.  
<PAGE>
                                    Page-11

Real  Estate  Assets and Depreciation
- -------------------------------------

Real estate  assets are stated at  historical  cost.  The cost of buildings  and
improvements  includes  interest,   property  taxes,  insurance,  and  allocated
development overhead incurred during the construction  period.  Ordinary repairs
and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are
capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives. Depreciation is computed on
a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the real estate assets (buildings
and improvements--40 years; furniture, fixtures, and equipment--5-10 years; land
improvements--20  years).  

Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards ("SFAS") No. 121,  "Accounting for
the  Impairment of Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed
Of,"  requires  that  long-lived  assets  to be held  and used by an  entity  be
reviewed for  impairment  whenever  the  carrying  amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  SFAS No. 121 also  requires that certain  long-lived  assets to be
disposed of be  reported at the lower of carrying  value or fair value less cost
to sell. Pursuant to the acquisition by Gables executed April 1, 1998, the Group
realized an amount in excess of the carrying value of its assets at December 31,
1997. Accordingly, management has determined that no impairment provision of the
carrying cost of TCR/SF's real estate assets is necessary at December 31, 1997.

Revenue Recognition  
- -------------------  

RENTAL  REVENUES  
- ----------------  

TCR/SF  leases its  residential  properties  under  operating  leases with terms
generally  equal to one year or less.  The related  rental  income is recognized
when earned which materially approximates revenue recognition on a straight-line
basis. 

BROKERAGE
- --------- 

TCR/SF provides  brokerage services for properties which it does not own. Income
is recognized when earned.

PROPERTY  MANAGEMENT
- -------------------- 

TCR/SF provides  property  management  services for properties which it does not
own. Income is recognized when earned.

DEVELOPMENT AND  CONSTRUCTION  SERVICES 
- ---------------------------------------

TCR/SF provides  development and  construction  services for properties which it
does not own.  Income is  recognized  when earned on a  percentage-of-completion
basis.  
<PAGE>
                                    Page-12


Cash and Cash Equivalents 
- -------------------------

Cash  and  cash   equivalents   represent   amounts   deposited  with  financial
institutions and investments  with original  maturities of three months or less.


Restricted Cash
- ---------------

Restricted  cash includes  capital  improvement  and mortgage  interest  payment
escrow balances required by certain lenders. It also includes cash restricted to
pay  letter of credit  fees and to refund  tenant  security  deposits.  

Deferred Charges
- ----------------

Deferred  charges  represent the costs incurred to obtain  long-term  financing.
These  costs  are  capitalized  and  amortized  over  the  term  of the  related
indebtedness  and are written off upon  repayment  or  expiration.  

Income Taxes
- ------------

TCR/SF is not a legal  entity  subject  to federal or state  income  taxes,  and
therefore, none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements.
The  legal  entities  comprising  the  Group are  primarily  partnerships  and S
corporations  whose partners and owners are required to include their respective
share of Group  profits and losses in their  individual  tax returns.  One legal
entity  comprising the Group is a C corporation whose net profits are subject to
federal  and state  income  taxes;  however,  no income tax  provision  has been
provided in the accompanying  financial  statements since this entity had no tax
liability for the year ended  December 31, 1997.  

Property Management Expenses
- ----------------------------

TCR/SF manages its owned  properties,  as well as properties owned by third- and
related-parties   for  which  TCR/SF  provides  services  for  a  fee.  Property
management  expenses are reported  net of $609 of cost  reimbursements  received
from  related  Trammell  Crow  Residential  entities.  Such  expenses  have been
allocated between owned and  third/related-party  properties in the accompanying
combined  statement of operations based on the proportional  number of owned and
third/related party apartment homes managed by TCR/SF during the year.

At December 31, 1997, the  conventional  fixed-rate  mortgage  indebtedness  was
comprised of one loan collateralized by one apartment community included in real
estate  assets  in  the  accompanying  combined  balance  sheet.  This  mortgage
indebtedness bears interest at a rate of 8% and has a maturity of 2003.

Tax Exempt Fixed-Rate Notes Payable 
- ----------------------------------- 

At December 31, 1997, the tax-exempt  fixed-rate  indebtedness  was comprised of
four loans collateralized by four apartment  communities included in real estate
assets in the accompanying  combined balance sheet. These bonds bear interest at
a fixed rate as determined by the individual loan agreements. The interest rates
on these notes payable in effect at December 31, 1997 ranged from 5.35% to 8.81%
(weighted  average  6.49%) and the maturity dates ranged from 2000 through 2008.
Each of these bonds is secured by a  guarantor.  The  tax-exempt  bonds  contain
certain covenants which require minimum rentals to individuals based upon income
levels specified by U.S. government programs, as defined.

Conventional  Variable-Rate Notes Payable 
- ----------------------------------------- 

At December 31, 1997, the conventional  variable-rate  mortgage indebtedness was
comprised of five loans collateralized by five apartment communities included in
real estate assets in the  accompanying  combined balance sheet. At December 31,
1997,  the  interest  rates on these  notes  payable  ranged from 7.13% to 7.86%
(weighted  average  7.20%) and the maturity dates ranged from 1998 through 2000.
Certain of these notes payable require monthly principal  amortization payments.

Tax Exempt Variable-Rate Notes Payable

                                    Page-14

these  bonds is backed by either a letter of credit or  guarantor.  The fees for
the letters of credit  were $1,045 for the year ended  December  31,  1997.  The
tax-exempt  bonds contain  certain  covenants  which require  minimum rentals to
individuals based upon income levels specified by U.S. government  programs,  as
defined.

As of December 31, 1997, the aggregate stated maturities of notes payable are as
follows:

       1998                            $  57,272

                                        --------
                                        $211,826
                                        ========

to Section 401(k) of the Internal  Revenue Code.  Under the plan,  employees may
defer  portions  of  their  salaries  on a  pretax  basis.  TCR/SF  also has the
discretion  to  make  matching   contributions   within  Internal  Revenue  Code
guidelines,  as  defined.  Employer  contributions  under this plan for the year
ended December 31, 1997 were $152.


6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Office Leases
- -------------

TCR/SF is party to office space leases with various terms.  The Group recognizes
rental  expense as incurred,  which  materially  approximates  recognition  on a
straight-line  basis.  Rental expense of $123 was recognized  under these leases
during the year ended  December 31, 1997 and is included in property  management
expenses in the accompanying combined statement of operations.

<PAGE>
                                    Page-15

The Group is subject to future rental expenses due under noncancelable operating
leases at December 31, 1997 as follows:

         Years ended December 31:
            1998                   $   490
            1999                       288
            2000                       288
            2001                       296
            2002                       305
            2003 and thereafter         79
                                   -------
                                    $1,746
                                   =======

Contingencies
- -------------

The entities  comprising  TCR/SF are subject to various  legal  proceedings  and
claims  that  arise in the  ordinary  course  of  business.  These  matters  are
generally covered by insurance.  While the resolution of these matters cannot be
predicted  with  certainty,  management  believes that the final outcome of such
matters will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  financial  position or
results of operations  of TCR/SF.  

7.  DISCLOSURE  ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS  

Cash and Cash Equivalents  
- -------------------------  

TCR/SF estimates that the fair value of cash equivalents  approximates  carrying
value due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.

Notes Payable  
- -------------  

TCR/SF  estimates  that the  aggregate  fair value of notes  payable,  including
accrued interest  payable,  approximates  the aggregate  carrying value of these
instruments  based on the Group's  effective current borrowing rate for issuance
of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Disclosure  about the fair value of financial  instruments is based on pertinent
information  available to management and conditions  specific to the Group as of
December 31, 1997 and may not be indicative  of valuations  based on factors and
conditions  surrounding  entities external to the Group.  Although management is
not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts,
such  amounts  have not been  comprehensively  revalued  for  purposes  of these
financial  statements since that date.

                  PREFACE TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED
                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION


BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- ---------------------

The  following  unaudited  pro  forma  consolidated   financial  statements  are
presented as if the Company  acquired the  properties and operations of Trammell
Crow Residential  South Florida Group (TCR/SF) as of the beginning of the period
presented and include the  historical  operating  results of the  properties and
residential  construction and development and third-party  management activities
acquired.  The financial  statements further assume that the Company distributed
at least 95% of its taxable income and met all other  requirements to qualify as
a REIT and, therefore,  incurred no income tax expense.  The acquisition will be
accounted  for under  the  purchase  method of  accounting  in  accordance  with
Accounting  Principles  Board Opinion No. 16.  Accordingly,  assets acquired and
liabilities  assumed have been reflected  herein at their  estimated fair values
which may be subject to further  modification based upon the final determination
of the acquired  properties'  fair values and the final  determination of actual
closing costs  associated  with the  transaction.  Management  believes that its
final  allocation  of the  purchase  price will not differ  materially  from the
purchase price allocation included herein. In management's opinion, all material
adjustments necessary to present fairly the effects of the acquisition have been
made.

The  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  financial  statements  should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated  financial  statements and accompanying  notes
thereto of the Company  included in its Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated  statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative  of what the actual  results of  operations of the Company would have
been assuming the Company had consummated the acquisition as of the beginning of
the period presented, nor does it purport to represent the results of operations
for future periods.  The unaudited pro forma  consolidated  balance sheet is not
necessarily  indicative of what the actual financial position would have been at
December 31, 1997 nor does it purport to represent the future financial position
of the Company.

                  NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
                      CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                      (Unaudited and Amounts in Thousands)

(A)  Represents the historical audited  consolidated  statement of operations of
     the Company  contained in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1997.

(B)  Represents  the  historical  audited  combined  statement of  operations of
     TCR/SF for the year ended December 31, 1997,  included herein in Attachment
     A.

(C)  Represents  the net  increase in  depreciation  of real  estate  owned as a
     result of  recording  the TCR/SF  real estate  assets at fair value  versus
     historical  cost.  The  acquisition  price of the real  estate  assets  was
     allocated  to  land,  buildings,  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment, and
     construction  in  progress  and  the  related  depreciation  is  calculated
     utilizing  an  estimated  useful life of 40 years for the  buildings  and 5
     years for  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment.  Depreciation  expense  is
     provided  to the extent the real  estate  was  operational  during the year
     ended December 31, 1997.

(D)  Represents the net adjustment to amortization  of deferred  financing costs
     to (i) record the  amortization of deferred  financing costs related to the
     credit enhancement facility put into effect on April 1, 1998 to enhance the
     bond indebtedness assumed by the Company (the "Bond Enhancement  Facility")
     and (ii) eliminate the  amortization of TCR/SF's  deferred  financing costs
     which have a zero fair value at April 1, 1998.

(E)  Represents  the net adjustment to interest  expense to (i) record  interest
     expense on the cash portion of the purchase price financed with  borrowings
     under  the  Company's  unsecured  credit  facilities,  (ii)  eliminate  the
     interest expense recorded on bond  indebtedness that was not assumed by the
     Company,  (iii) record the amortization of the discount  required to record
     the $12,500  portion of the purchase  price that was deferred until January
     1, 2000 at fair value and (iv) record the net increase in capitalization of
     interest  for  qualifying  construction  expenditures  at fair value versus
     historical cost.

     The Company's  borrowings  under its current  unsecured  credit  facilities
     currently  bear interest at LIBOR plus 0.80%.  If interest  rates under the
     credit facilities fluctuated 0.125%, interest costs on the pro forma credit
     facility   indebtedness   would  increase  or  decrease  by   approximately
     $194 on an annualized basis. 

(F)  Represents the net adjustment to credit  enhancement fees to (i) record the
     credit  enhancement  fees  under  the Bond  Enhancement  Facility  and (ii)
     eliminate  the  credit  enhancement  fees  incurred  by TCR/SF  related  to
     enhancements that do not remain in place at April 1, 1998.

(G)  Represents  the  adjustment to eliminate  interest  income  included in the
     TCR/SF  historical  amounts as the cash  balances  were not acquired by the
     Company.

(H)  Reflects  (i) the  portion of all of the  preceding  pro forma  adjustments
     attributable  to  the  minority  interest   unitholders  in  the  Operating
     Partnership and (ii) an adjustment to minority interest associated with the
     issuance of minority units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
     Partnership ("Units") in connection with the acquisition.

(I)  Reflects  an   adjustment   to  the  minority   interest   portion  of  the
     extraordinary  loss  associated  with the  issuance  of Units in connection
     with the acquisition.

(J)  Reflects the issuance of Units in connection with the acquisition  that are
     not antidilutive.

                               AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO
                             CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

     This Amendment No. 1 to the Contribution Agreement, dated April 1, 1998, is
made and  entered  into  among  the TCR  Parties,  on the one hand,  and  Gables
Residential Trust and Gables Realty Limited Partnership,  on the other hand, and
amends the Contribution Agreement,  dated as of March 16, 1998, by and among the
TCR Parties and the Transferee (the "Contribution  Agreement").  All capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise  defined shall have the meanings ascribed to
them in the Contribution Agreement.

     1.   The  Schedules  attached  hereto  shall  amend  and  restate  in their
          entirety the Schedules attached to the Contribution Agreement.

     2.   The second sentence of Section 2.4(c) of the Contribution Agreement is
          amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

               "The Management  Contracts are all of the TCR Parties'  contracts
               relating to their  management of third-party  owned properties in
               the southern Florida area,  except for contracts to manage third-
               party and properties that have been terminated or with respect to
               which the owner of the relevant property under management has not
               on or prior to the  Closing  Date  given  notice of its intent to
               terminate the contract."

     3.   The  Transferee  (a)  acknowledges  that none of the TCR Parties  will
          obtain the consent from third parties to any  Management  Contract and
          certain Service Contracts  necessary for the TCR Parties to consummate
          the transactions  contemplated by the  Contribution  Agreement and (b)
          waives the breach of the Contribution Agreement relating thereto.

     4.   The Transferee  acknowledges  and agrees that all accrued  vacation of
          the  Rehired  Employee  as of the  Closing  Date shall be treated as a
          credit to the Transferee for purposes of adjustments  made pursuant to
          Article 10 of the Contribution  Agreement and the Transferee therefore
          has assumed the obligations of the TCR Parties with respect thereto.

     5.   Section 1.87 of the Contribution  Agreement is amended and restated in
          its entirety to read as follows:

               "Net  Value"  shall  mean an amount  equal to  $368,250,000,  (a)
               reduced by the applicable amount(s) set forth in Schedule 1.87(a)
               if one or more of the JV Real Estate  Properties cease to be Real
               Estate Properties hereunder as provided in Section 2.1 hereof and
               (b) reduced by the sum of (i) the outstanding  principal  balance
               plus all  accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon as of the Closing
               Date on the Assumed Loans,  (ii) the Cash  Consideration  (before
               making the deductions described in Section 3.6(b)(ii)), (iii) the
               Assigned Value of each Withdrawn Property, (iv) the amount of any
               reduction in the Net Value made pursuant to Section 2.2(d) hereof
               in the event of a transfer  of less than 100% of the  Partnership
               Interests  in a  Contributor,  (v) the  amount of any  prepayment
               premium  or  penalties  set  forth  in  Section   3.2(c)(y),   if
               applicable  and without  duplication,  and (vi) the amount of any
               reduction  in the Net Value  made  pursuant  to  Section  4.3(b);
               provided,  however,  that (x) in no  event  shall  the Net  Value
               exceed $100,000,000 and (y) the Retained Amount shall be retained
               by the Transferee for payment pursuant to Section 3.9.

     6.   Section 3.6(a) of the  Contribution  Agreement is amended and restated
          in its entirety to read as follows:

               "'Cash  Consideration'  shall be an amount which is not more than
               $155,000,000."
