REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc.
 
We have audited the  accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses of Springhouse at Newport News for the year ended December 31, 2008. This statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement. Springhouse at Newport News is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Springhouse at Newport News’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Springhouse at Newport News’ revenues and expenses.
 
In our opinion, the statement of revenues and certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses, as described in Note 2 of Springhouse at Newport News for the year ended December 31, 2008, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

SPRINGHOUSE AT NEWPORT NEWS
NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 (unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2008


1.           DESCRIPTION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY

 
On December 3, 2009, through a wholly owned subsidiary, Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) completed an investment in a joint venture along with Bluerock Special Opportunity + Income Fund (“BEMT Co-Investor”), an affiliate of the Company’s sponsor, and Hawthorne Springhouse, LLC (“Hawthorne”), an unaffiliated entity, to acquire a 432-unit garden-style multifamily community known as Springhouse at Newport News (the “Springhouse property”), located in Newport News, Virginia, from Newport-Oxford Associates Limited Partnership, an unaffiliated entity.

 
The Springhouse property is comprised of 432 units, featuring one- and two-bedroom layouts in 24, 2-story garden-style apartment buildings surrounding a centralized lake. The property contains approximately 314,572 rentable square feet and the average unit size is 728 square feet.   Newport News, VA is part of the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA.  The community features include clubhouse, fitness center, swimming pool, tennis court, volleyball court, picnic area and private lake with gazebo.

The aggregate purchase price for the Springhouse property was approximately $29.25 million, plus closing costs.

2.           BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The statements of revenues and certain operating expenses (the “Historical Summaries”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with the provisions of Article 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which requires certain information with respect to real estate operations to be included with certain filings with the SEC.  The Historical Summaries include the historical revenue and certain operating expenses of the Springhouse property, exclusive of interest income, asset management fees, interest expenses and depreciation and amortization, which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Springhouse property.
 
 
The statement of revenues and certain operating expenses and notes thereto for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, included in this report, are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such statement of revenues and certain operating expenses have been included.  Such adjustments consist of normal recurring items.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

3.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Springhouse property operations consist of rental income earned from its tenants under lease agreements with terms of one year or less.  Rental income is recognized when earned.  This policy effectively results in income recognition on the straight-line method over the related terms of the leases.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4.           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through February 18, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were issued.

BLUEROCK ENHANCED MULTIFAMILY TRUST, INC.
Summary of Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information


The following pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheet of Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc. (“the Company”) as of September 30, 2009, which has been filed with the SEC in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2009.  In addition, this pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses and the notes thereto of Springhouse at Newport News (the “Springhouse property”).

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 has been prepared as if we had acquired the 37.5% interest in the Springhouse property on September 30, 2009 and the Company qualified as a REIT, distributed 90% of its taxable income and, therefore, incurred no income tax benefit or expense during the period.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 have been prepared as if we had acquired the 37.5% interest in the Springhouse property on January 1, 2008.

The pro forma unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations would have been had we completed the transaction as of the beginning of the periods presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.  In addition, the pro forma balance sheet includes pro forma allocation of the purchase price based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired.  These allocations may be adjusted in the future upon finalization of these preliminary estimates.
