REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Sun Communities, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying historical summaries of gross income and
direct operating expenses (the "Historical Summaries") of Southfork Mobile Home
Park for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997 and the year ended December
31, 1996. These Historical Summaries are the responsibility of Southfork Mobile
Home Park's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Historical Summaries 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 Historical Summaries are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summaries. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the Historical Summaries. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
The accompanying Historical Summaries were prepared for the purpose of
complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and are not intended to be a complete presentation of Southfork
Mobile Home Park's revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the Historical Summaries referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described
in Note 1 of Southfork Mobile Home Park for the six-month period ended June 30,
1997 and the year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
