REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
   
To the Partners
Starlight Place, LP
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Starlight Place, LP, as of December 31, 2010 and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards of the Public 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. The partnership has determined that it 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 partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Starlight Place, LP as of December 31, 2010 and the results of its operations, changes in partners' capital and cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2010
  
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Starlight Place, LP (the "Partnership") was formed in 2005 under the laws of the State of Georgia for the purpose of constructing and operating a 52-unit apartment community, known as Starlight Place, and located in Americus, Georgia. The community is financed by a USDA Rural Development ("RD") Section 538 Loan, and therefore is regulated by RD as to rent charges and operating methods.
 
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following significant accounting policies have been followed in the preparation of the financial statements:
 
Accounting Standards Codification
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB ASC") became the sole authoritative source of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for periods ending after September 15, 2009. The FASB ASC incorporates all authoritative literature previously issued by a standard setter. Adoption of the FASB ASC has no effect on the Partnership's financial position, results from operations, partners' equity, or cash flows. References to the authoritative accounting literature in the notes to the financial statements are to the FASB ASC.
 
Basis of accounting
 
The Partnership prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the acquisition date. Restricted cash is not considered cash equivalents.
 
Concentration of credit risk
 
The Partnership places its temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, the account balances may exceed the institution's federally insured limits. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
 
Rental Income
 
Rental income is recognized as rentals become due. Rental payments received in advance are deferred until earned. All leases between the Partnership and tenants of the property are operating leases.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
DECEMBER 31, 2010
  
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
  
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations using the straight-line method over their estimated service lives of 40 years for real property, 5 years for personal property, and 15 years for land improvements. Depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $144,707. As of December 31, 2010, accumulated depreciation was $829,632.
 
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments are capitalized. When items of property or equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in income.
 
Intangible assets
 
Monitoring fees have been recorded at cost. Amortization has been provided for using the straight-line method over 15 years. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $520. As of December 31, 2010, accumulated amortization was $2,860.
 
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
Impairment of long-lived assets
 
The Partnership reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition. If the long-lived asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value as determined from an appraisal, discounted cash flows analysis, or other valuation technique. There were no impairment losses recognized during 2010.
 
Tenant Rent Receivables
 
Management considers tenant rent receivables to be fully collectible; accordingly, no allowance for doubtful accounts is required.Uncollectible rent receivables are charged to operations upon management's determination that collection of the receivable is unlikely.

The Partnership is no longer subject to income tax examinations for calendar years prior to 2006.

NOTE F - MORTGAGE PAYABLE
 
The mortgage was payable to Lewiston State Bank (care of Bonneville Mortgage Company) and was transferred to Capstone Realty Advisors in December 2007. The mortgage is secured by a deed of trust on the rental property. The note bears interest at the rate of 7.57% per annum. Principal and interest are payable by the Partnership in monthly installments of $2,487 through April 1, 2034.
 
The obligation arising from the Loan Agreement has been secured through a Loan Note Guarantee (the USDA Guarantee) under the Section 538 Guaranteed Rural Rental Housing Program pursuant to which the USDA will guarantee 90% of the losses realized under the Promissory Note.
 
Under an interest credit and rental assistance agreement with Rural Development, an interest credit is provided, thus reducing the interest rate approximately 3% annually. The interest credit is treated as additional income with interest expense being recorded at the note rate. An annual application as required by Rural Development must be submitted in order to be eligible for the interest credit. Eligibility began when the construction loan converted to a permanent loan on April 1, 2006.
 
Aggregate annual maturities for the mortgage payable over each of the next five years are as follows:
    
December 31, 2011
  $ 2,148

NOTE K - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
  
Housing Tax Credits
 
As incentive for investment equity, the Partnership applied for and received an allocation certificate for housing tax credits established by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. To qualify for the tax credits, the Partnership must meet certain requirements, including attaining a qualified basis sufficient to support the credit allocation. In addition, tenant eligibility and rental charges are restricted in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 42. Management has certified that each tax credit unit has met these qualifications to allow the credits allocated to each unit to be claimed.
 
Compliance with these regulations must be maintained in each of the fifteen consecutive years of the compliance period. Failure to maintain compliance with occupant eligibility, unit gross rent, or to correct noncompliance within a reasonable time period could result in recapture of previously claimed tax credits plus interest.
 
NOTE I - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, addresses events which occur after the balance sheet date but before the issuance of financial statements. An entity must record the effects of subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date and must disclose but not record the effects of subsequent events which provide evidence about conditions that existed after the balance sheet date. Additionally, Topic 855 requires disclosure relative to the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Management evaluated the activity of Starlight Place, LP through February 21, 2011, the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
