                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Capital Atlantic Incorporated

We have audited the accompanying combined Historical Summary of Gross Income and
Direct  Operating  Expenses  (Historical  Summary)  of the  Group H  Communities
described  in Note 1 for  the  year  ended  December  31,  1997.  This  combined
Historical Summary is the responsibility of the Group H Communities' management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this combined  Historical Summary
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  Historical  Summary is free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the combined  Historical  Summary.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting  principles used and the significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  presentation  of the
combined  Historical  Summary.  We believe that our audit  provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.

The accompanying  combined  Historical Summary has been 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 Security  Capital
Atlantic  Incorporated  as  described  in  Note 1 and is  not  intended  to be a
complete  presentation  of the  income  and  expenses  of the  combined  Group H
Communities.

In our  opinion,  the  combined  Historical  Summary of Gross  Income and Direct
Operating  Expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects,
the combined gross income and direct operating  expenses of the combined Group H
Communities,  as described in Note 1, for the year ended  December 31, 1997,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                  NOTES TO COMBINED HISTORICAL SUMMARY OF GROSS
                INCOME AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES (CONTINUED)


USE OF ESTIMATES
     The  preparation  of the combined  Historical  Summary in  conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the amounts  reported in the Historical  Summary and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

UNAUDITED INTERIM HISTORICAL SUMMARY

     The combined Historical Summary for the period from January 1, 1998 through
March 31, 1998 is  unaudited.  In the  opinion of  management,  all  adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of such combined  Historical Summary have been
included.  The  results  of  operations  for  the  period  are  not  necessarily
indicative of the Group H Communities' future results of operations.

3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Management  fees of $723,212 and $205,750  were paid to an affiliate of the
prior  owners  under   property   management   agreements   in  1997  and  1998,
respectively.  Management fees are based on the greater of 4-5% of total revenue
or an agreed upon minimum until a certain occupancy rate is achieved,  as stated
in the management agreement.
