REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Reven Housing REIT, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of Houston 18 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statement.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses that is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

In our opinion, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain operating expenses described in Note 2 of Houston 18 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Other Matters

As described in Note 2, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in Form 8-K/A), and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Houston 18 Homes. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO STATEMENT OF REVENUES OVER CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES

For the Year Ended December 31, 2013

 

 

1. DESCRIPTION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY

 

On January 31, 2014, Reven Housing REIT, Inc. (“Company”), through a wholly-owned subsidiary, closed on the acquisition of 18 single family homes located in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, pursuant to that certain Single Family Homes Real Estate Purchase and Sale Agreement dated October 4, 2013, as amended on October 30, 2013 and as further amended on December 23, 2013 (the “Houston 18 Agreement”) with Red Door Housing, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Red Door”), and WFI Funding, Inc., a Texas corporation (together with Red Door, the “Houston 18 Sellers”). The Houston 18 Sellers are not affiliated with the Company.

 

The contract purchase price for the 18 acquired properties was $1,560,836, exclusive of closing costs. The Company funded 100% of the purchase with cash.

 

  Reven Housing REIT is a Maryland corporation formed to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of single family homes located throughout the United States.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying audited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 has been prepared to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Houston 18 Homes is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses are not representative of the actual operations for the period presented, as certain revenues and expenses have been excluded on the basis that they may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses Reven Housing REIT expects to incur in the future operations of Houston 18 Homes. Excluded items include interest, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the future operations of Houston 18 Homes.

 

  An audited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 is being presented for the most recent fiscal year available instead of the two most recent years based on the following factors: (i) Houston 18 Homes was acquired from an unaffiliated party and (ii) based on due diligence of Houston 18 Homes by Reven Housing REIT, management is not aware of any material factors relating to Houston 18 Homes that would cause this financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Revenue Recognition

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements, as described in Note 2 and 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

4.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, Houston 18 Homes may become party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is probable or reasonably possible to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations for the periods presented.
