                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors of
   Summit Properties Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain
expenses (defined as being operating revenues less direct operating expenses) of
Belcourt, Turtle Rock, Turtle Cove, Buena Vista, Camino Real and Los Arboles I &
II Apartments (collectively the "Ewing Apartments") for the year ended December
31, 1997. This financial statement is the responsibility of the management of
Summit Properties Inc. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this
statement 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 combined statement of revenues and certain expenses
is free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. 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.

The accompanying combined statement of revenues and certain expenses was
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K of Summit
Properties Inc. Material amounts, described in Note 1 to the combined statement
of revenues and certain expenses, that would not be comparable to those
resulting from the proposed future operations of the Ewing Apartments are
excluded and the statement is not intended to be a complete presentation of the
revenues and expenses of these apartments.

In our opinion, such combined statement of revenues and certain expenses
presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses, as
defined above, of the Ewing Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN EXPENSES
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.        BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

          BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The combined operating revenues and direct
          operating expenses of the Belcourt, Turtle Rock, Turtle Cove, Buena
          Vista, Camino Real and Los Arboles I & II Apartments (collectively the
          "Ewing Apartments") described in Note 2 is presented on the accrual
          basis of accounting. The accompanying financial statements are not
          representative of the actual operations for the periods presented as
          certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the proposed future
          operations of the Ewing Apartments, have been excluded in accordance
          with the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14.
          Expenses excluded consist of interest, including interest related to
          certain indebtedness assumed with a principal balance of $79,852,000
          at September 30, 1998 (unaudited), depreciation and amortization,
          professional fees and other costs not directly related to the future
          operations of the Ewing Apartments.

          INCOME RECOGNITION - Rental income is recorded when it is earned and
          due from tenants. Apartment units are rented under lease agreements
          with terms of one year or less.

          INTERIM FINANCIAL DATA (UNAUDITED) - In the opinion of management, all
          adjustments and eliminations consisting only of normal recurring
          adjustments necessary to present fairly the combined statement of
          revenues and certain expense of the Ewing Apartments for the nine
          months ended September 30, 1998 have been included. The combined
          results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 are
          not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

          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 revenues and expenses as of and for the reporting period.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                                                     2,017
                                                                     =====
</TABLE>


       The Camino Real Apartments were placed in service in July 1997. The
       property was approximately 40% occupied at December 31, 1997 and 94%
       occupied at September 30, 1998 (unaudited).

3.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       MANAGEMENT FEES - The Ewing Apartments had a management agreement with an
       affiliated management company to maintain and manage the operations of
       the apartment complexes. Management fees are based on 5% of total revenue
       collected. Upon acquisition of the Ewing Apartments by Summit Properties,
       such management contract was canceled, at which time Summit Properties
       began to manage the Ewing Apartments.

       DEVELOPMENT FEES - The Ewing Apartments entered into development
       agreements with an affiliated company to provide development oversight
       services for the properties. Development fees were capitalized as part of
       the carrying basis of the properties by the Ewing Apartments when
       incurred and therefore no amounts are reflected in this financial
       statement related to this activity.

       CONSTRUCTION FEES - The Ewing Apartments entered into construction
       agreements with an affiliated company to provide general contractor
       services during the development period for the properties. Construction
       fees were capitalized as part of the carrying basis of the properties by
       the Ewing Apartments when incurred and therefore no amounts are reflected
       in this financial statement related to this activity. Construction fees
       were based on a fixed percentage of each contract as defined in the
       agreements.

                             COMBINED BALANCE SHEET
                            AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 1998



The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to (i) the
acquisition of a portfolio of multifamily properties in Texas (the "Ewing
Acquisition") through a merger with Ewing Industries Inc. and affiliates thereof
("Ewing Industries") on November 4, 1998 and (ii) the sale of communities
formerly known as Summit Springs and Summit Old Town. The Ewing Acquisition was
funded through (i) the issuance to Ewing Industries of 489,622 shares of common
stock ("Shares") of Summit Properties Inc. (the "Company") and 141,921 units of
limited partnership interest ("Units") of Summit Properties Partnership,
L.P.(the "Operating Partnership") with the Shares and Units valued at the
Company's approximate market value of $18.00 on the consummation date, (ii) the
assumption of $79.9 million of debt, and (iii) the payment of $50.6 million in
cash. In addition, the Company has committed to issue 519,365 Shares as a
deposit for a property currently in lease-up, with respect to which payment of
the final consideration is contingent upon the property reaching stabilization
(the "Contingent Property"). The current estimate of additional consideration to
be paid at such time is (i) 1,030,009 Shares of common stock and 36,629 Units
(each Share and Unit valued at $18.00) and (ii) cash in the amount of
$1,314,144. The Ewing Acquisition, excluding the Contingent Property, and the
sale of Summit Springs and Summit Old Town have been presented as if the
transactions had occurred on September 30, 1998. The Pro Forma Condensed
Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to the acquisition under the purchase method
of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. In
the opinion of management, all significant adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of the Ewing Acquisition have been made.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet is presented for comparative
purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual combined
financial position of Ewing Industries and the Company at September 30, 1998
would be, nor does it purport to represent the future combined financial
position of Ewing Industries and the Company. This Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Balance Sheet should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its
entirety by, the historical financial statements and notes thereto of the
Company as included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and
the Company's Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

                  BASIS OF PRESENTATION TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED
                         COMBINED STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS
                FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 AND
                        THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997




The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and the year ended December 31, 1997 are presented as
if the following transactions had occurred on January 1, 1997:

(i)    The acquisition of Ewing Industries, as further described in the Basis of
       Presentation to the Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet.
       Adjustments related to the Contingent Property are not included in the
       pro forma statements as it was in construction in 1997 and a portion of
       1998 and its operations are not material to the Pro Forma Condensed
       Combined Statements of Earnings. In addition, the Company has a cash flow
       management contract with a surviving affiliate of Ewing Industries to
       manage such property until the property reaches stabilization. In
       consideration for managing the property, such affiliates retain all net
       cash flows for the property. Certain of the properties acquired in the
       Ewing Acquisition were in lease up in 1998 and/or 1997. The operations of
       such lease-up properties are not reflective of fully stabilized
       properties.

(ii)   The sale of Summit Old Town, Summit Springs, Summit Providence and Summit
       Charleston on November 12, 1998, October 23, 1998, May 18, 1998 and May
       14, 1997, respectively.

(iii)  The purchase of Summit Lenox on July 8, 1998. The purchase of Summit Club
       at Dunwoody and Summit St. Clair on May 22, 1998 and March 1, 1998,
       respectively, are shown as if they were acquired on January 1, 1998.
       These two properties were under construction during 1997 and would not
       have had a material effect on 1997 operations.

(iv)   The purchase of Summit Fair Oaks, Summit Windsor II, Summit Sand Lake and
       Summit Portofino ("1997 Acquisitions") on December 31, 1997, July 18,
       1997, February 20, 1997 and January 6, 1997, respectively.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings give effect to the
acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in accordance with
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16. In the opinion of management, all
significant adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of these transactions
have been made.

The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings are presented for
comparative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of what the actual
combined results of the above transactions and the Company for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, and the year ended December 31, 1997 would be, nor do
they purport to be indicative of the results of operations in future periods.
The Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Earnings should be read in
conjunction with, and are qualified in their entirety by, the historical
financial statements and notes thereto of the Company as included in the Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the Company's Form 10-Q for the
nine months ended September 30, 1998.

       for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.

B.     Reflects the operations of Summit St. Clair acquired effective March
       1, 1998, Summit Club at Dunwoody acquired May 22, 1998 and Summit Lenox
       acquired July 8, 1998, from January 1, 1998 to date of acquisition.

C.     Reflects the operations of Summit Providence sold on May 18, 1998 from
       January 1, 1998 to date of sale. Reflects Summit Springs and Summit Old
       Town sold on October 23, 1998 and on November 12, 1998, respectively,
       from January 1, 1998 to September 30, 1998. In addition, the gain on sale
       of real estate assets has been eliminated for pro forma presentation.

D.     Reflects the operations of the communities acquired in the Ewing
       Acquisition for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Pro forma
       effects of the Contingent Property have not been included in the Pro

       substantially under construction for the period presented and, therefore,
       its effect on pro forma earnings is not significant.

       Final consideration related to the Contingent Property is issuable
       contingent upon such property achieving stabilization in the future.
       Management expects the potential impact of the Contingent Property on
       future earnings of the Company to be insignificant.

       The effects of accounting policy differences are immaterial and have not
       been adjusted in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of
       Earnings.

E.     Adjustment represents property supervision costs adjusted to 2.5% of
       revenues. The 2.5% estimate reflects the Company's historical costs of
       property supervision. Such costs, as a percent of property revenues
       should not change significantly as a result of the acquisitions and
       dispositions.

F.     Reflects depreciation on the Company's basis in the Ewing Acquisition.
       Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated
       useful lives of the properties (buildings - 37 to 40 years and furniture,
       fixtures and equipment - 5 to 7 years).

G.     Includes the interest costs on the mortgage debt assumed in conjunction
       with the Ewing Acquisition and the incremental borrowings to finance the
       acquisition of $50.6 million. The purchase was assumed to be financed
       from the Company's credit facility at the weighted average interest rate
       for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of 6.76%.

H.     Based upon 14.95% minority interest (4,417,770 Units weighted average of
       the 29,543,050 Shares and Units weighted average) for the nine months
       ended September 30, 1998.

I.     Based upon 25,125,280 and 25,142,045 basic and diluted weighted average
       Shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

SUMMIT PROPERTIES INC.
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
(UNAUDITED)


ADJUSTMENTS:

A.     Reflects the Summit Properties Inc. Consolidated Statement of Earnings
       for the year ended December 31, 1997.

B.     Reflects the operations of the 1997 Acquisitions from January 1, 1997 to
       date of acquisition. In addition, reflects the operations of Summit
       Lenox, acquired July 8, 1998 for the year ended December 31, 1997. Does
       not reflect the operations of Summit St. Clair and Summit Club at
       Dunwoody acquired in 1998 as the properties were in construction in 1997
       and their operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 were not
       significant.

C.     Reflects the operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 of Summit
       Providence sold on May 18, 1998, Summit Springs sold on October 23, 1998
       and Summit Old Town sold on November 12, 1998. Also reflects the
       operations of Summit Charleston from January 1, 1997 to date of sale on
       May 14, 1997. In addition, the gain on sale of real estate assets has
       been eliminated for pro forma presentation.

D.     Reflects the operations of the communities acquired in the Ewing
       Acquisition for the year ended December 31, 1997. Pro forma effects of 
       the Contingent Property have not been included in the Pro Forma Condensed
       Combined Statement of Earnings as such property was substantially under
       construction for the period presented and, therefore, its effect on pro
       forma earnings is not significant.

       Final consideration related to the Contingent Property is issuable
       contingent upon such property achieving stabilization in the future.
       Management expects the potential impact of the Contingent Property on
       future earnings of the Company to be insignificant.

       The effects of accounting policy differences are immaterial and have not
       been adjusted in the unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of
       Earnings.

E.     Adjustment represents property supervision costs adjusted to 2.5% of
       revenues. The 2.5% estimate reflects the Company's historical costs of
       property supervision. Such costs, as a percent of property revenues
       should not change significantly as a result of the acquisitions and
       dispositions.

F.     Reflects depreciation on the Company's basis in the Ewing Acquisition.
       Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated
       useful lives of the properties (buildings - 37 to 40 years and furniture,
       fixtures and equipment - 5 to 7 years).

G.     Includes the interest costs on the mortgage debt assumed in conjunction
       with the Ewing Acquisition and the incremental borrowings to finance the
       acquisition of $30.4 million. The purchase was assumed to be financed
       from the Company's credit facility at the weighted average interest rate
       for the year ended December 31, 1997 of 6.73%.

H.     Based upon 15.31% minority interest (4,280,690 Units weighted average of
       the 27,956,153 Shares and Units weighted average) for the year ended
       December 31, 1997.

I.     Based upon 23,675,463 and 23,711,884 basic and diluted weighted average
       Shares issued and outstanding, respectively.
