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 The Gardens at Hillsboro Village for the year ended December 31, 2009.  This statement is the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is free of material misstatement.  The Gardens at Hillsboro Village 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 The Gardens at Hillsboro Village’s 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 The Gardens at Hillsboro Village’s 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 The Gardens at Hillsboro Village for the year ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

THE GARDENS AT HILLSBORO
NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND CERTAIN OPERATING EXPENSES
For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 (unaudited) and the Year Ended December 31, 2009

1.             DESCRIPTION OF REAL ESTATE PROPERTY

On September 30, 2010, through a wholly owned subsidiary of our operating partnership, we completed an investment in a joint venture along with Bluerock Special Opportunity + Income Fund, LLC (“BEMT Co-Investor”), Bluerock Special Opportunity + Income Fund II, LLC (“BEMT Co-Investor II”), both of which are affiliates of our sponsor, and Bell Partners, Inc. (“Bell”), an unaffiliated entity, to acquire a 201 unit multifamily community known as The Gardens at Hillsboro Village (the “Hillsboro Property”), located in Nashville, TN, from Centennial Hillsboro Village, LLC, an unaffiliated entity

The Hillsboro property is located in Nashville, TN which is the Capital and the most populous metropolitan area in the state.  The property, built in 1940 and renovated in 1997 and 1998, is comprised of 201 units, featuring studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts.  The property contains approximately 187,480 rentable square feet and the average unit size is 933 square feet.  As of September 30, 2010, the property had an annual average market rent of $16,101 per unit and was 98% occupied.  The community features include gated access, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness center and courtyard and garden areas.

The aggregate purchase price for the Hillsboro Property was approximately $31.6 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 Hillsboro property, exclusive of interest, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative costs which may not be comparable to the proposed future operations of the Hillsboro property.

3.             INTERIM UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
The statement of revenues and certain operating expenses and notes thereto for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, included in this report, are unaudited.  In the opinion of our 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.

An audited statement of revenues and certain operating expenses is being presented for the most recent fiscal year available instead of the three most recent years based on the following factors (i) the Hillsboro Property was acquired from an unaffiliated party and (ii) based on due diligence of the Hillsboro Property by Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc., management is not aware of any material factors relating to the Hillsboro Property that would cause the financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Square footage, occupancy and other measures used to describe real estate included in the notes to the statements of revenues and certain operating expenses are presented on an unaudited bases.

4.             SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition

The Hillsboro 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 materially differ from those estimates.

5.             SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

The following pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets of Bluerock Enhanced Multifamily Trust, Inc. (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the notes thereto.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the consolidated financial statements as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been included in the Company’s prior filings with the SEC on March 31, 2010 and January 18, 2011 and our restated consolidated financial statement as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 filed with the SEC on January 19, 2011.  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 The Gardens at Hillsboro (the “Hillsboro property”).

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010 has been prepared as if we had acquired the 12.5% indirect interest in the Hillsboro property on September 30, 2010 and we had qualified as a REIT, distributed 90% of its taxable income and, therefore, incurred no income tax benefit or expense during the period.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2010

(a)  
Reflects our historical balance sheet as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2010.
(b)  
The purchase of the Hillsboro property was completed on September 30, 2010 and is included in the September 30, 2010 historical balance sheet as reported in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q as of September 30, 2010.  The aggregate purchase price for the Hillsboro property was approximately $31.6 million, plus closing costs and, through a consolidated joint venture, was funded by a combination of debt and a loan from an affiliate of our advisor.

Property
Joint Venture interest
Managing Member LLC interest
Indirect Equity Interest in Property
Hillsboro
50%
25%
12.5%

We analyzed our interest in the managing member LLC to determine (a) if the LLC is a variable interest entity (a “VIE”), and (b) if so, if we are the primary beneficiary.  Our contribution into the managing member LLC was funded through a loan from an affiliate who is another investor in the managing member LLC, thus our equity investment is not at risk. Since unanimous approval is required by all members to direct the activities that most significantly impact the managing member LLC’s economic performance, the holder of the equity investment at risk lacks that power and thus we concluded that the managing member LLC entity is a VIE.  We are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the managing member LLC and would not be considered to be the investor that is most closely associated with the entity among the related party investors.  As a result, our investments are reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.
