                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Board of Directors
Ambassador Apartments, Inc.



     We have audited the statement of revenue and certain expenses of Haverhill
Commons Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1995.  This statement of
revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of Haverhill Commons
Apartments' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
statement of revenue 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 revenue 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
revenue and certain expenses.  An audit also includes assessing the basis of
accounting used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenue and certain
expenses.  We believe that our audit of the statement of revenue and certain
expenses provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     The accompanying statement of revenue 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
Ambassador Apartments, Inc. As described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of Haverhill Commons Apartments' revenue and expenses.
     In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to
above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain
expenses described in Note 2 of Haverhill Commons Apartments for the year ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses represent the
operations of Haverhill Commons Apartments, a 222-unit apartment project in
West Palm Beach, Florida.  On August 20, 1996, Ambassador Apartments, Inc.
purchased Haverhill Commons Apartments from the prior owner, an unaffiliated
real estate company.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying statements of revenue 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 Current Report on Form 8-K of
Ambassador Apartments, Inc.  The statements are not representative of the
actual operations of Haverhill Commons Apartments for the periods presented no
indicative of future operations, as certain expenses, consisting of
depreciation, amortization, interest, and management and other professional
fees, have been excluded.

Revenue Recognition

     Rental income is recognized as income in the period earned.

Rentals

     At December 31, 1995, approximately  94% of the apartment units were
occupied.

Use of Estimates

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

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors
Ambassador Apartments, Inc.



     We have audited the statement of revenue and certain expenses of Sun Lake
Apartments for the year ended December 31, 1995.  This statement of revenue and
certain expenses is the responsibility of Sun Lake Apartments' management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenue 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 revenue 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
revenue and certain expenses.  An audit also includes assessing the basis of
accounting used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenue and certain
expenses.  We believe that our audit of the statement of revenue and certain
expenses provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     The accompanying statement of revenue 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
Ambassador Apartments, Inc. as described in Note 2 and is not intended to be a
complete presentation of Sun Lake Apartments' revenue and expenses.

     In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to
above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain
expenses described in Note 2 of Sun Lake Apartments for the year ended December
31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



To the Partners of
Arbors and Ocean Oaks Real Estate Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Arbors and Ocean Oaks Real
Estate Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, as of December 31,
1995 and 1994, and the related statements of net loss, partners' deficit and
cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period from inception
(March 28, 1994) through December 31, 1994.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 Arbors and Ocean Oaks Real
Estate Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the
period from inception (March 28, 1994) through December 31, 1994, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

             ARBORS AND OCEAN OAKS REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994

1. ORGANIZATION:

Arbors and Ocean Oaks Real Estate Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") was
formed on March 28, 1994 under the Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the State
of Delaware.  The Partnership was formed to acquire, improve, operate and
dispose of the Partnership properties, as provided for in the Limited
Partnership Agreement (the "Partnership Agreement").

At December 31, 1995, the Partnership is comprised of the managing partner MFH
Realty Limited Partnership ("MFH"), as general partner and WH-JER TE-2
Investors, L.P. ("WH-JER"), as the limited partner.  Effective November 15,
1995, WH-JER purchased the limited partner interest from Arbor Oaks Ventures,
Inc. The general and limited partners have ownership interests of 49% and 51%,
respectively, and have contributed a total of $10,000 to the Partnership.  In
addition, the partners may be required to make additional capital contributions
to the Partnership.  The general partner is an affiliate of the limited
partner, the bond holder and the asset manager (Note 3).

The Partnership will continue in existence until March 28, 2044, unless
terminated sooner, as provided in the Partnership Agreement.  Net income and
net loss are allocated in accordance with their respective partnership
interests.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of accounting and use of estimates

The Partnership prepares its financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.  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.

Investments in real estate

Real estate investments are carried at the lower of cost or market value.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using an estimated useful
life of 27  1/2 years.

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership has elected to early adopt Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of." Adoption of
this standard has resulted in no material financial statement impact.

Organization costs

Organization cots are amortized on a straight-line basis over a 60 month
period.


                                      25
<PAGE>   26



Statement of cash flows

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an
original maturity of three months or less that are not restricted to be cash
equivalents.

Income taxes

The Partnership is not a taxpaying entity, and accordingly, records no income
taxes.  The partners are individually responsible for reporting their shares of
the Partnership's taxable income or loss on their income tax returns.

Certain transactions of the Partnership may be subject to accounting methods
for income tax purposes which differ from the accounting methods used in
preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.  Accordingly, the net income or loss on the capital
accounts reported for income tax purposes may differ from the balances reported
for those same items in these financial statements.

3. ASSET MANAGEMENT AND LOAN SERVICING AGREEMENT:

The Asset Management and Loan Servicing Agreement (the "Management Agreement")
between the owner of the general partner of the Partnership and Sixth JAR
Investment Management Inc., a Virginia corporation (the "Asset Manager"), was
effective June 4, 1993 and will continue in force until December 31, 2000.  The
fees for such asset management services are paid to the owner of the general
partner.  Either the Partnership or the Asset Manager may terminate the
Management Agreement without cause upon 30 days written notice to the other
party at any time following the liquidation of all the Partnership real estate
investments (the "Investments").  The Management Agreement may also be
terminated by either party upon the occurrence of certain events of default by
the other party.

As stipulated in the Management Agreement, the Asset Manager's duties are: (a)
to provide customary asset management for the Investments, (b) to prepare a
portfolio business plan for such Investments and (c) to advise the Partnership
on the optimal manner in which to manage, dispose and collect on such
Investments in accordance with the approved asset management and disposition
plans.

Until November 15, 1995, the Asset Manager was owed a monthly fee by the
Partnership for its asset management and asset disposition services in an
amount equal to the sum of the Asset Manager expenses, plus .25% (per annum) of
the average monthly balances of the Investments.  After November 15, 1995, the
management fee is paid by the limited partner.

The Asset Manager is entitled to receive a disposition fee from the limited
partner equal to 2% of the gross proceeds received by the Partnership in
connection with the sale of any asset.

The Asset Manager rebates a portion of each of the earned fees to certain
affiliates of the Partnership.

</TABLE>

5. Bonds Payable

In connection with the acquisition of the real estate, the Partnership assumed
collateralized bonds of $18,200,000.  The bonds were issued by the Housing
Finance Authority of Volusia County, Florida.

The bonds accrue interest from the date of the bonds (August 1, 1985) with such
amount due monthly.  The bond interest rate is 3% over the J. Kenney Index
(8.19% and 8.39% at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively).

The bonds mature on August 1, 2015 with $3,800,000 as the outstanding principal
at such time.  During 1995, the bond holder waived the payment of the $300,000
principal payment due in 1995, resulting in such amount now being due at
maturity of the bond.  Minimum principal payments due on the bonds payable are
as follows:
