                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Shareholders and Board of Trust Managers
Grove Property Trust

We have audited the accompanying Combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and
Direct  Operating   Expenses  (the  "Historical   Summary")  for  Rolling  Green
Apartments at Amherst,  Rolling Green Apartments at Fall River and Rolling Green
Apartments at Milford (collectively, known as the "Rolling Green Portfolio") for
the year ended December 31, 1999. This Historical  Summary is the responsibility
of the Rolling Green Portfolio's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards  generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the Historical  Summary is free of
material  misstatement.  An audit includes examining,  on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical  Summary. An audit also
includes  assessing the basis of accounting used and significant  estimates made
by management,  as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical
Summary. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The  accompanying  Historical  Summary 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/A  of Grove  Property  Trust as
described  in Note 1, and is not intended to be a complete  presentation  of the
Rolling Green Portfolio's revenues and expenses.

In our  opinion,  the  Historical  Summary  presents  fairly,  in  all  material
respects,  the combined gross income and direct operating  expenses as described
in Note 1 of the Rolling Green  Portfolio for the year ended  December 31, 1999,
in  conformity  with  accounting  principles  generally  accepted  in the United
States.

                           THE ROLLING GREEN PORTFOLIO

              NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS INCOME
                         AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES
                             (Dollars in thousands)

1.   General Information and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Presented  herein is the  combined  historical  summary of gross income and
     direct  operating   expenses   ("Historical   Summary")  of  Rolling  Green
     Apartments at Amherst,  Rolling Green  Apartments at Fall River and Rolling
     Green  Apartments  at Milford  (collectively  known as the  "Rolling  Green
     Portfolio"),  all held under common control.  The properties are located in
     Amherst, Fall River and Milford,  Massachusetts,  respectively. The Rolling
     Green  Portfolio  was acquired by Grove  Property  Trust,  a Maryland  real
     estate investment trust, (the "Company") on May 31, 2000.

     The  Historical  Summary has been prepared in accordance  with Rule 3-14 of
     Regulation S-X of the  Securities and Exchange  Commission for inclusion in
     the  Current  Report on Form  8-K/A of the  Company.  Accordingly,  certain
     historical expenses which may not be comparable to the expenses expected to
     be  incurred  in  the  proposed  future  operations  of the  Rolling  Green
     Portfolio  have been  excluded.  Expenses  excluded  consist  of  interest,
     depreciation  and  amortization and other costs not directly related to the
     future operations of the Rolling Green Portfolio.

     The  Historical  Summary  for the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  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.

     Rental income is recognized on a  straight-line  basis over the term of the
     leases,  which are generally one year. Included in other income is interest
     income of $33  (unaudited)  and $124 for the three  months  ended March 31,
     2000 and the  year  ended  December  31,  1999,  respectively,  related  to
     earnings on various  restricted cash accounts which are required by certain
     mortgages which have been acquired by the Company.

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

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in conformity  with  accounting
     principles  generally accepted in the United States requires  management to
     make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the amounts  reported in the
     financial  statements and accompanying  notes.  Actual results could differ
     from those estimates.

     The Rolling Green  Apartments at Amherst,  Rolling Green Apartments at Fall
     River and Rolling Green  Apartments at Milford  (collectively  known as the
     "Rolling Green Portfolio"), all held under common control, were acquired by
     Grove Property Trust (the Company) on May 31, 2000.

     The accompanying  unaudited pro forma condensed  consolidated balance sheet
     of the Company is  presented  as if the  acquisition  of the Rolling  Green
     Portfolio  had  occurred  as of March 31,  2000.  The  unaudited  pro forma
     condensed  consolidated  statements of income have been prepared to reflect
     the acquisition of the Rolling Green Portfolio as if such  transactions had
     occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

     The pro forma information is unaudited and is not necessarily indicative of
     the  consolidated  results that would have occurred if the transactions and
     adjustments  reflected therein had been consummated in the period or on the
     date  presented,  or on any  particular  date in the  future,  nor  does it
     purport to represent  the financial  position or results of operations  for
     future  periods.  The pro forma  information  should be read in conjunction
     with the Company's historical financial statements and notes thereto.
