                         Report of Independent Auditors


To the Shareholders and Board of Trust Managers
Grove Property Trust

We have audited the  statement of revenues  and certain  expenses of  Greenfield
Village  Apartments  (the  Property) for the year ended  December 31, 1996.  The
statement  of  revenues  and  certain  expenses  is  the  responsibility  of the
Property's  management.  Our  responsibility  is to  express  an  opinion on the
statement of revenues 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 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 statement of revenues and certain
expenses.  An audit also includes  assessing the accounting  principles used and
estimates made by management,  as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the  statement  of revenues  and  certain  expenses.  We believe  that our audit
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying 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 on the Current  Report on Form 8-K of Grove
Property  Trust  described  in  Note  2 and  is not  intended  to be a  complete
presentation of the Property's revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain expenses referred to above
presents fairly, in all material respects,  the revenues and certain expenses as
described in Note 2 of Greenfield Village Apartments for the year ended December
31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

             Notes to the Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                                December 31, 1996

1.   Business

The  accompanying  Statement  of Revenues  and Certain  Expenses  relates to the
operation of 126 apartment units out of the total of 231 units at the Greenfield
Village Apartments (the Property).  The Property was acquired on July 1, 1997 by
Grove  Property  Trust.  The Property was  previously  owned by Highland  Income
Partners, L.P.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses was prepared for the
purpose  of  complying  with the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission.  Accordingly,  the financial  statements  exclude  certain
expenses that may not be  comparable  to those  expected to be incurred by Grove
Property Trust in the proposed future operations of the aforementioned property.
Items  excluded  consist of  depreciation,  amortization,  interest  and certain
non-operating  expenses.  The financial statements also excludes gains resulting
from sales of property.

The preparation of the Statement of Revenues and Certain  Expenses in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates and assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the Statement of
Revenues and Certain  Expenses and  accompanying  notes.  Actual  results  could
differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income attributable to leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over
the term of the leases, which are generally for one year.
