             REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
             -------------------------------------------------------

To the Home Properties, Inc. 401(k)
Administrative Committee and Participants
of the Home Properties Retirement Savings Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of Home Properties Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and
the related  statement of changes in net assets  available  for benefits for the
year ended December 31, 2006. These financial  statements are the responsibility
of the Plan's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted  our audits in  accordance  with  auditing  standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 net assets available for benefits of Home Properties
Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the changes in net
assets  available  for  benefits  for the  year  ended  December  31,  2006,  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.

Our  audits  were  made for the  purpose  of  forming  an  opinion  on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets (held
at end of year) as of  December  31,  2006,  is  presented  for the  purpose  of
additional  analysis  and  is  not  a  required  part  of  the  basic  financial
statements,  but is  supplementary  information  required  by the United  States
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations  for Reporting and Disclosure  under
the Employee  Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental  schedule
is the  responsibility of the Plan's management.  The supplemental  schedule has
been  subjected  to the auditing  procedures  applied in the audits of the basic
financial  statements  and, in our  opinion,  is fairly  stated in all  material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

As further described in Note 2, the Plan adopted Financial  Accounting Standards
Board Staff  Position AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1 for the years ended  December 31,
2006 and 2005.

                           DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

Note 1    Description of Plan
------    -------------------

          The following  description of the Home Properties  Retirement  Savings
          Plan (the Plan) is provided  for general  information  purposes  only.
          Participants should refer to the Plan document, as amended, for a more
          complete description of the Plan's provisions.

          General
          -------
          The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of Home
          Properties,  Inc.  (the Company) who have attained age 21. The Plan is
          subject to the provisions of the Employee  Retirement  Income Security
          Act of 1974 (ERISA).

          First  Niagara  Bank acts as the  Trustee of the Plan.  Prior to 2006,
          Five Star Bank acted as the Trustee of the Plan.  Fidelity  Investment
          (Fidelity)  serves  as the  custodian  and Burke  Group  serves as the
          record keeper for the Plan.

          Contributions
          -------------
          Each year,  participants  may  contribute up to 50 percent of eligible
          pretax  annual  compensation   (effective  January  1,  2006,  certain
          "non-worked"  pay  types  and  bonuses  are  excluded  from  the  plan
          definition  of  compensation),  subject to statutory  limitations,  as
          defined in the Plan. Prior to 2006, separate elective deferrals out of
          any bonus, up to 100% of each bonus were also permitted.  Participants
          may also  contribute  amounts  representing  distributions  from other
          qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plans.  Participants
          direct the investment of their  contributions  into various investment
          options   offered  by  the  Plan.  The  Company   contributes  75%  of
          salary-reduction   contributions   up  to  a  maximum  of  3%  of  the
          participants' eligible compensation. Additional profit sharing amounts
          may be contributed at the option of the Company's  board of directors.
          Contributions are subject to certain limitations.

          Participant Accounts
          --------------------
          A separate  account is maintained for each of the  participants.  Each
          participant's  account  is  credited  with an  allocation  of: (1) the
          participant's contributions,  (2) the Company's contributions, and (3)
          Plan earnings.  Subtractions are made from the  participant's  account
          for a pro  rata  share  of  administrative  expenses,  if  applicable.
          Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances,  as
          defined in the Plan  document.  The benefit to which a participant  is
          entitled is the benefit  that can be provided  from the  participant's
          vested account.

          Vesting
          -------
          Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual
          earnings  thereon.  The Plan  provides  for  vesting  in the  employer
          contribution  account of 25% after one year, 50% after two years,  75%
          after  three  years,  and 100% after four years of  service.  Prior to
          September 1, 2005,  the Plan  provided  vesting of 20% after one year,
          40% after two years,  60% after three years, 80% after four years, and
          100% after five years of service.

Note 1    Description of Plan - Continued
------    -------------------------------

          Participant Loans
          -----------------
          Participants  may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to
          a  maximum  equal to the  lessor  of  $50,000  or 50% of their  vested
          account  balance.  Loan terms range from one to five years,  or longer
          for the purchase of a primary residence.  The loans are collateralized
          by the balance in the  participant's  account and bear interest at the
          prime  rate  plus one  percent  (1%) in effect on the first day of the
          month in which the loan is made.  Interest  rates  range from 5.00% to
          9.25% and will  mature  between  January  2007 and March  2016 for the
          current  outstanding  notes.  Principal  and  interest is paid ratably
          through weekly or semi-monthly payroll deductions.

          Payment of Benefits
          -------------------
          The Plan provides for normal retirement  benefits upon reaching age 65
          and has provisions for early retirement,  disability,  death, hardship
          and termination  benefits for those  participants  who are eligible to
          receive such benefits.

          Upon termination of service, a participant may elect to receive a lump
          sum amount equal to the value of his or her account.

          Forfeitures
          -----------
          In  accordance  with  the Plan  document,  forfeitures  of  non-vested
          employer   contributions   are   used  to   reduce   future   employer
          contributions  then to pay plan  expenses.  At  December  31, 2006 and
          2005, forfeited non-vested accounts totaled  approximately $50,000 and
          $24,000, respectively.

          Administrative Expenses
          -----------------------
          Administrative expenses may be paid by the Company or the Plan.

          The  accompanying  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  on the
          accrual basis of accounting.

Note 2    Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
------    -------------------------------------------

          Basis of Accounting - Continued
          -------------------------------
          As described in Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Staff Position,
          AAG  INV-1  and SOP  94-4-1,  Reporting  of  Fully  Benefit-Responsive
          Investment  Contracts Held by Certain Investment  Companies Subject to
          the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and
          Welfare and Pension Plans (the FSP),  investment  contracts  held by a
          defined-contribution  plan are  required to be reported at fair value.
          However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that
          portion   of   the   net   assets   available   for   benefits   of  a
          defined-contribution  plan  attributable  to fully  benefit-responsive
          investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants
          would receive if they were to initiate  permitted  transactions  under
          the  terms of the  plan.  The plan  invests  in  investment  contracts
          through  a  common/collective  trust.  As  required  by the  FSP,  the
          Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value
          of the  investment  in the  common/collective  trust  as  well  as the
          adjustment of the investment in the common/collective  trust from fair
          value to contract  value  relating to the  investment  contracts.  The
          Statement of Changes in Net Assets  Available for Benefits is prepared
          on a contract value basis.

          Plan Estimates
          --------------
          The preparation of financial  statements in conformity with accounting
          principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
          management to make estimates and assumptions  that affect the reported
          amounts of net assets  available  for  benefits  and changes  therein.
          Actual results could differ from those estimates.

          Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
          -------------------------------------------
          The Plan's investments are stated at fair value.  Investment in common
          stock is reported at fair value based on quoted market prices.  Shares
          of mutual funds are reported at fair value based on the quoted  market
          price of the fund which  represents the net asset value of shares held
          by the fund at year-end.  The plan's interest in the common/collective
          trust  is  valued  based on  information  reported  by the  investment
          advisor    using   the   audited    financial    statements   of   the
          common/collective  trust at year-end.  Participant notes are valued at
          cost which approximates fair value.

          Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date  basis.
          Interest  income is  recorded  on the  accrual  basis.  Dividends  are
          recorded on the ex-dividend date.

          The Plan provides for investments  which,  in general,  are exposed to
          various risks,  such as interest rate,  credit and market  volatility.
          Due  to  the  level  of  risk  associated   with  certain   investment
          securities,  it is  reasonably  possible that changes in the values of
          investment  securities  will  occur in the near term and such  changes
          could materially  affect the amounts reported in the Statements of Net
          Assets  Available  for  Benefits  and the  Statement of Changes in Net
          Assets Available for Benefits.

Note 4    Party-In-Interest Transactions
------    ------------------------------

          Certain  Plan   investments   are  shares  of  common  stock  of  Home
          Properties,   Inc.,  the  Plan  sponsor.  Therefore,  this  investment
          qualifies as a party-in-interest.  Certain Plan investments are shares
          of  mutual  funds  that  are  managed  by  Fidelity.  Fidelity  is the
          custodian of the Plan and,  therefore,  these transactions  qualify as
          party-in-interest    transactions.    Participant   loans   are   also
          party-in-interest transactions.

Note 5    Plan Termination
------    ----------------

          Although  the  Company  has not  expressed  any  intent to do so,  the
          Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue  contributions  at
          any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.
          In the event of Plan termination, participants will become 100% vested
          in their  accounts and all of the Plan assets would be  distributed to
          participants.

Note 6    Tax Status
------    ----------

          The Plan has adopted a prototype plan document. The prototype plan has
          received an opinion letter from the Internal  Revenue  Service,  dated
          November 19, 2001, as to the prototype  plan's qualified  status.  The
          Plan  has been  amended  since  receiving  the  determination  letter.
          However,  the plan  administrator  believes that the Plan is currently
          designed  and  being  operated  in  compliance   with  the  applicable
          requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
