(1)  As of October 31, 1998, Mortgage Notes Payable had an outstanding balance
     of $51,856 with a weighted average interest rate of 8.73%. The pro forma
     Mortgage Notes Payable amount of $59,549 has been adjusted to reflect the
     fair value of the notes assuming a borrowing cost of approximately 7.0%.

(2)  The Acquisition Notes Payable relates to an obligation, related to three
     McNeil Properties (Rockingham Glen, 929 House, and Glen Meadow), to pay
     additional cash and issue additional Operating Partnership Units when the
     properties are converted to market rate properties. On November 30, 1998,
     the mortgages on two of the properties (Glen Meadow and 929 House) were
     modified to allow these properties to be converted to 80% market rate units
     and 20% moderate income units. The Rockingham Glen's mortgage was modified
     in the third quarter of 1998 to allow this property to be converted to 80%
     market rate units and 20% moderate income units. It is anticipated that
     approximately $12,000 of the Acquisition Notes Payable will be paid on
     April 30, 1999 (consisting of approximately $4,400 in cash and $7,600 in
     Operating partnership units. The remaining balance of the Acquisition Notes
     Payable of approximately $900 is expected to be paid over a three-year
     period.

(3)  The management contracts were purchased for $4,644 from an unrelated third
     party management company. The term of the contracts was for an average of
     approximately 20 years. The cost of the management contracts has been
     expensed in the Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The
     Company plans to self manage the McNeil Portfilio.

These unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income are
presented as if (i) the Company had acquired Grove Property Services Limited
Partnership and Property Partnerships and completed various other 1997 and
January 1998 through August 1998 acquisitions, the McNeil Portfolio (the
"October Acquisitions"), and Abbington Glen and Rockingham Glen, (ii) the
Consolidation Transactions (see notes to Pro Forma Condensed Consolidation
Statements of Income), including the New Equity Investment and Refinancings and
(iii) the November 1997 Offerings and the application of the net proceeds
therefrom, all had occurred as of January 1, 1997 and the effect thereof was
carried forward through the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company, Grove
Property Services Limited Partnership and Property Partnerships and various
other properties acquired during 1997 and January 1998 through August 1998 the
October Acquisitions, Abbington Glen and Rockingham Glen, which financial
statements are included herein or have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on various Forms 8-K, as amended, during 1997 and 1998, Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 and Form 10-Q for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary to
present fairly the effects of the above mentioned transactions have been made.

The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results that
would have been reported had such events actually occurred on the date
specified, nor is it necessarily indicative of the Company's future results.

                        (In thousands, except share data)

On March 14, 1997, the Company entered into a series of Consolidation
Transactions. The Consolidation Transactions were a business combination of the
Company and Grove Property Services Limited Partnership (the "Management
Company") and Property Partnerships. In addition, the Company simultaneously
issued 3,333,333 common shares at $9 per share ("New Equity Investment") and
retired or refinanced certain mortgage and credit facility debt
("Refinancings"). The effect of these transactions on the accompanying pro forma
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is reflected as outlined in the
notes below.

(A)  Historical results of operations data were derived from the financial
     statements of the Company as filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1997 and in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine

                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders and Board of Trust Managers
Grove Property Trust

We have audited the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses of
Abbington Glen and Rockingham Glen (the "Properties") for the year ended
December 31, 1997. The combined statement of revenues and certain expenses is
the responsibility of the Properties' management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on the combined 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 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 combined statement of
revenues and certain expenses. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the combined statement of revenues and
certain expenses. 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 Current Report on Form
8-K of Grove Property Trust, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of the Properties' revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the combined statement of revenues and certain expenses referred
to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the combined revenues and
certain expenses, as described in Note 2, of Abbington Glen and Rockingham Glen
for the year ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

        Notes to the Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses

                          Year Ended December 31, 1997


1. Business

The accompanying Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses of
Abbington Glen and Rockingham Glen relate to the operations of 2 residential
apartment buildings located in Massachusetts (collectively, the "Properties").
Grove Property Trust (the "Company") has contracted to acquire all interests in
the partnerships that own the Properties from an unrelated party on or about
December 31, 1998. In addition to the Properties, the Company will be acquiring
certain of the related partnerships' operating assets and liabilities and will
assume the underlying mortgage notes payable.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses were
prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Company's Current Report
on Form 8-K relating to the acquisition of the Properties. Accordingly, the
combined statements exclude certain expenses that may not be comparable to those
expected to be incurred by the Company in the proposed future operations of the
Properties. Items excluded consist of depreciation, amortization, and certain
non-operating expenses. Management fees were also excluded as the Company will
self-manage the Properties.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Combined Statements 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 Combined
Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.





                                                                              15

                                   (continued)



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the
leases, which are generally one year. Interest income related to earnings on
various restricted cash accounts which are required by certain mortgages which
are being acquired by the Company (see Note 4) have been included on the
accompanying Combined Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses.

Capitalization Policy

Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements
and betterments are capitalized.

Unaudited Information

The Combined Statement of Revenues and Certain Expenses for the nine months
ended September 30, 1998, is unaudited. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such information have been
included. The results of operations for this period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be obtained for a full fiscal year.

3. Government Subsidies

Rockingham Glen (the "Subsidized Property") is subject to various forms of
federal or state subsidy programs. The subsidies are provided to the Subsidized
Property through direct rental payments. The Subsidized Property is regulated by
the Massachusetts Housing Finance Agency ("MHFA") as to rental changes and
operating methods. In exchange for the various subsidies, the Subsidized
Property is required to set aside 20% of the apartment units to qualified
moderate-income elderly tenants until maturity of the mortgage.

                                   (continued)

4. Mortgage Notes Payable

The Properties' partnerships had a total $5,198,605 in outstanding mortgage
notes payable as of December 31, 1997. In addition to the monthly installments
of interest and principal, Rockingham Glen must also pay an additional fixed
monthly interest of .5%, computed based on the original amount of the mortgage.
The mortgages are non-recourse and are generally collateralized by the related
property and rents. Certain loan documents also: (i) place restrictions on
amounts of distributions, and (ii) require the related partnership to maintain
various financial covenants.
