REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Partners
Pioneer Street Associates
(A California Limited Partnership)
Visalia, California
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Pioneer Street Associates, A California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2007 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 Pioneer Street Associates, A California Limited Partnership, as of December 31, 2007 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.

NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
 
Pioneer Street Associates is a California Limited Partnership which was formed in February 1994, to develop, construct, own, maintain and operate a 112-unit multi-family apartment complex known as Foothill Vista Apartments and is located in the city of Bakersfield, California. The major activities of the Partnership are governed by the Partnership Agreement and Loan Agreement with the Pacific Life.

The Partnership has three general partners and one investing limited partner. Partnership transactions with the general partners are described in other notes to this financial statement.
 
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
A summary of the Partnership's significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
 
Basis of accounting
The Partnership prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Capitalization and Depreciation
 
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation of buildings and equipment is computed principally using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System which approximates straight-line for buildings and double-declining balance for equipment over the following estimated useful lives:
 
 
Years
Buildings
27.5
Equipment
7
 
Improvements are capitalized, while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon disposal of depreciable property, the appropriate property accounts are reduced by the related costs and accumulated depreciation.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
 
Impairment of Lonq-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of
 
The Partnership applies the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed Of. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flow expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying value of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying value or fair value less the costs to sell. There have been no asset impairments recorded as of December 31, 2007.
 
SFAS No. 144
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The adoption of SFAS No. 144 has not materially affected the partnership's reported earnings, financial condition or cash flows.

Deferred debt expense
  $ 39,200
