REVEN HOUSING REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2013

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reven Housing REIT, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) (formerly known as Bureau of Fugitive Recovery, Inc.) was incorporated in the State of Colorado on April 26, 1995. The Company provided bounty hunting services for bail bond businesses through July 2, 2012.

A change of control of the Company occurred on July 2, 2012 when Chad M. Carpenter purchased an aggregate of 5,999,300 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Company from certain of the Company’s stockholders in a private transaction. As consideration for the shares, Mr. Carpenter paid a total purchase price of $128,605 in cash from his personal funds. In connection with the transaction, an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to treasury for cancellation. Immediately upon the closing of the transaction, Mr. Carpenter became the majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and beneficially owned stock representing 71.8 percent of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.

The Company is now engaged in a new business and has formerly changed its name from Bureau of Fugitive Recovery, Inc. to “Reven Housing REIT, Inc.” The Company intends to acquire portfolios of occupied and rented single-family houses throughout the United States in accordance with its new business plan. The Company’s business plan involves (i) acquiring portfolios of rented houses from investors; and (ii) receiving income from rental property activity and future profits from sale of rental property at appreciated values.

Discontinued Operations

On July 2, 2012, the Company discontinued operations related to the Bureau of Fugitive Recovery, Inc. upon Chad M. Carpenter becoming the majority shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, the former operations are classified as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Going Concern

The Company has suffered losses from operations, has a working capital deficit, and stockholders' deficit. Further, a company owned by the majority stockholder has provided significant advances to the Company for operations. The Company in all likelihood will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with its new business plan of acquiring portfolios of rental homes along with incurring additional general and administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern should the Company not be successful in raising new capital.

To carry out its business plan, the Company will need to seek additional funding and may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, and/or through borrowings from financial institutions. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms or at all or that any additional capital that the Company is able to obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs. The Company is currently in the process of reviewing potential opportunities to purchase portfolios of rented houses in its target markets across the United States and is seeking additional investment opportunities. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate revenues from the rental of its future acquired residential home portfolios. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments except as noted in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed March 29, 2013. The results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

Principals of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements consolidate the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary Reven Housing Georgia, LLC. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents.

Advances to Property Manager

Advances to property manager represent the amount of security deposits and net rental funds which are held by the property manager on behalf of the Company.

Deferred Stock Issuance Costs

Deferred stock issuance costs represent amounts paid for consulting services in conjunction with the anticipated raising of additional capital to be performed within one year.

Warrant Issuance and Note Conversion Feature

The Company accounts for the proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable with detachable stock purchase warrants and embedded conversion features in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Under FASB ASC 470-20, the proceeds from the issuance of a debt instrument with detachable stock purchase warrants shall be allocated to the two elements based on the relative fair values of the debt instrument without the warrants and of the warrants themselves at the time of issuance. The portion of the proceeds allocated to the warrants is accounted for as additional paid-in capital and the remaining proceeds are allocated to the debt instrument which resulted in a discount to debt which is amortized and charged as interest expense over the term of the note agreement. Additionally, pursuant to FASB ASC 470-20, the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion feature of the convertible notes payable is included in the discount to debt and amortized and charged to interest expense over the life of the note agreement.

Revenue Recognition

Property is leased under rental agreements of varying terms (generally one year) and revenue is recognized over the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under FASB ASC 740, deferred taxes are provided on a liability method, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with FASB ASC 740, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FASB ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, the Company does not have a liability for unrecognized tax uncertainties. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, the Company has no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Incentive Compensation Plan

During 2012, the Company established the 2012 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2012 Plan”). The 2012 Plan allows for the grant of options and other awards representing up to 5,002,500 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such awards may be granted to officers, directors, employees, consultants and other persons who provide services to the Company or any related entity. Under the 2012 Plan, options may be granted at an exercise price greater than or equal to the market value at the date of the grant, for owners of 10% or more of the voting shares, at an exercise price of not less than 110% of the market value. Awards are exercisable over a period of time as determined by a committee designated by the Board of Directors, but in no event longer than ten years. No awards have been granted as of June 30, 2013.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Warrants, stock options, and common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Company's preferred stock (if any), are not included in the computation if the effect would be anti-dilutive and would increase the earnings or decrease loss per share. As of June 30, 2012 and 2013 there were no shares that are potentially dilutive.

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, as reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, approximates fair value.

Security Deposits

Security deposits represent amounts deposited by tenants at the inception of the lease.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and reported amounts of expenses for the periods presented. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include assumptions used to value warrants and conversion features associated with convertible notes payable (Note 3). Further, significant estimates include assumptions used to determine the allocation of purchase prices of property acquisitions (Note 1).

Property Acquisitions

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Accounting for Business Combinations, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Asset, which requires the purchase price of acquired properties be allocated to the acquired tangible assets and liabilities, consisting of land, building, and identified intangible assets, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases, unamortized lease origination costs and security deposits, based in each case on their fair values.

The Company allocates the purchase price to tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building) based on the estimated fair values of those tangible assets, assuming the property was vacant. Fair value for land and building is based on the purchase price for these properties. The Company also considers information obtained about each property as a result of its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.

The total value allocable to intangible assets acquired, which consists of unamortized lease origination costs and in-place leases (including an above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place lease), are allocated based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Company’s overall relationship with that respective tenant. Characteristics considered by management in allocating these values include the nature and extent of the existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the remaining term of the lease and the tenant’s credit quality, among other factors. As of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, management has determined that no value is required to be allocated to intangible assets, as the leases assumed are short-term with values that are insignificant.

NOTE 2. RESIDENTIAL HOMES, NET

Reven Housing Georgia, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of Reven Housing REIT, Inc.) completed the acquisition of nine residential homes (the “Homes”). The nine Homes are located in various cities in Georgia, consisting of approximately 12,989 rentable square feet and are located on approximately 2.35 acres of land. Five of these Homes were purchased in 2012 and the remaining four Homes were purchased on January 10, 2013. The Homes are 100% leased on short-term leases expiring on various dates through December 31, 2013.

In accordance with ASC 805, the Company allocated the purchase price of the properties as follows:

					Total
			Residential		Purchase
	Land		Homes		Price
5242 Station Circle, Norcross Georgia	$	13,631	$	55,559	$	69,190
615 Cowan Road Covington, Georgia		14,010		56,348		70,358
110 Bear Run Ct Palmetto, Georgia		12,874		52,530		65,404
7220 Little Fawn Parkway Palmetto, Georgia		12,874		52,530		65,404
4860 Lost Colony Stone Mountain, Georgia		13,631		55,559		69,190
1740 Camden Forrest Trail Riverdale, Georgia		13,252		54,044		67,296
11352 Michelle Way Hampton, Georgia		12,874		52,530		65,404
205 Highgate Trail, Covington, Georgia		13,252		54,044		67,296
924 Lake Terrace Drive, Stone Mountain, Georgia		13,252		54,044		67,296

	$	119,650	$	487,188	$	606,838

Residential homes purchased by the Company are recorded at cost. The Homes are depreciated over the estimated useful lives using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful life for the residential homes is estimated to be 27.5 years.

NOTE 3. CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

The Company has issued convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to certain accredited investors, shareholders, and officers in the aggregate principal amount of $1,054,352. Of this total, $500,000 was issued on January 3, 2013 in order to fund the four additional residential homes purchased in January and to pay operating expenses. The maturity date for the Notes is the earlier of December 31, 2013, or upon the Company raising $5 million or more of equity capital. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10 percent per annum payable in full on the maturity date and are unsecured. Upon the Company successfully raising additional capital, the Notes may be exchanged by the holders for such securities of the Company at the same price and on the same terms and conditions being offered to the other investors in such financing, and the principal and accrued interest under the Notes will be applied towards the purchase price of such security. The Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty.

Of the total Notes, $652,176 have been issued to an officer, $350,000 have been issued to accredited investors, and $52,176 to shareholders.

Warrant Issuance and Note Conversion Feature

In connection with the issuance of the above Notes, the Company also issued to the investors 5-year detachable warrants exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”). The exercise price of the Warrants will be the same as the price per share of the equity securities sold to investors in the qualified equity financing and each Warrant provides for 100% warrant coverage on the principal amount of the related Note.

The fair value of the Warrants and debt beneficial conversion feature were determined using the Monte-Carlo simulation valuation model that uses assumptions for expected volatility, expected dividends, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatilities are based on weighted averages of the selected peer group of thirteen companies as the Company has no trading history and are estimated over the expected term of the Warrants. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of issuance for the period of the expected term. Accordingly, the fair value of the proceeds attributable to Warrants of $309,892 and the debt beneficial conversion feature of $309,891 totaling $619,783, have been recorded as an increase in additional paid-in capital and as a corresponding discount to the convertible notes payable. Upon the issuance of the additional $500,000 of convertible notes payable on January 3, 2013 mentioned above, $291,920 of this increase in additional paid-in capital and corresponding debt discount was recorded. The discount is being amortized over the term of the convertible notes payable using the interest method. Amortization of the discount amounted to $140,814 and $281,628 and is included as a separate expense on the condensed consolidated statement of operations for three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

A summary of the assumptions used to value the warrants and beneficial conversion feature are as follows:

Risk -free interest rate		0.77	%
Expected stock volatility		47	%
Time to expiration (years)		5
Fair value of common stock	$	1.00
Expected dividends	$	0.00

NOTE 4. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES

At December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following:

	2012		2013

Accounts payable	$	-	$	37,698
Accrued property taxes		0		3,000
Accrued legal fees		119,978		109,060

	$	119,978	$	149,758

NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES

Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and expected carry-forwards are available to reduce taxable income. The Company records a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not, the Company will not realize some or all deferred tax assets. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2012, the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $538,000. The federal tax loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2026 and 2019, respectively, unless previously utilized.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This information contained in this report contains forward-looking statements that relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements may be identified by use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” or “potential” or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends. Statements such as those concerning potential acquisition activity, investment objectives, strategies, opportunities, other plans and objectives for future operations or economic performance are based on the Company’s current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties, including the Company’s ability to successfully (i) acquire real estate investment properties in the future, (ii) to execute future agreements or understandings concerning the Company’s acquisition of real estate investment properties and (iii) raise the capital required to acquire any such properties.

In 2012, the Company significantly changed its business operations upon a change of control event. On July 2, 2012, Chad M. Carpenter purchased an aggregate of 5,999,300 shares of the outstanding common stock of the Company from certain of the Company’s stockholders in a private transaction. As consideration for the shares, Mr. Carpenter paid a total purchase price of $128,605 in cash from his personal funds. In connection with the transaction, an aggregate of 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock were returned to treasury for cancellation. Immediately upon the closing of the transaction, Mr. Carpenter became the majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and beneficially owned stock representing 71.8 percent of the outstanding voting shares of the Company.

As a result of the above change in control and management, the Company then commenced pursuing a new business. The Company is now engaged in the acquisition of portfolios of occupied and rented single-family houses throughout the United States in accordance with its new business plan. The Company’s business plan involves (i) acquiring portfolios of rented houses from investors; and (ii) receiving income from rental property activity and future profits from sale of rental property at appreciated values.

In November 2012, the Company made its first acquisition of 5 rental homes. Four additional homes were purchased under the same contract in January 2013. To carry out its business plan, the Company will need to seek additional funding. The Company is currently in the process of pursuing potential transactions to purchase portfolios of rented houses in its target markets across the United States and is seeking additional equity and debt capital in order to fund these acquisitions. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available on favorable terms or at all or that any additional capital that the Company is able to obtain will be sufficient to meet its needs.

The Company intends to take all necessary steps to qualify as a REIT under the Code. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company collected gross rental income from its home acquisitions of $41,623 and had rental expenses of $13,740 resulting in net proceeds of $27,883. However the Company incurred legal, accounting, and administration expenses that significantly exceeded these net proceeds. After repaying advances to affiliates, the Company used $241,242 of cash for operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company acquired four additional rental homes at a cost of $263,428. The Company’s operating and acquisition activity was funded primarily by the issuance of an additional $500,000 of convertible notes payable. Reven Capital, LLC, an entity wholly owned by Chad Carpenter, funded $400,000 of the additional convertible notes. As of June 30, 2013, the cash balance was $1,093. As a result of the Company’s limited working capital, operations have been limited. Until additional funds are raised in order to pursue the Company’s business plan and generate material revenues, activities will be restricted.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company had limited operations from its discontinued operations and did not complete any investing activities or financing activities.

The Company currently has no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit, stock offerings or any other sources.

The Company’s ability to become a viable entity is dependent on its ability to raise future debt and equity capital in order to purchase assets under its new business plan or to fund its ongoing operations. The Company’s inability to raise funds for the above purposes will have a severe negative impact on its ability to remain a viable company.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had total rental income of $21,350. Rental expenses were $5,744, legal and accounting expenses totaled $49,214, and general and administrative expenses were $73,607. Interest expense and amortization of discount on notes payable was $167,173, with $26,359 representing accrued interest on the convertible notes payable, and $140,814 was amortization of discount on the convertible notes payable. Depreciation expense totaled $4,200. As a result, the Company had a net loss of $278,588 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company earned $334 from its discontinued operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company had total rental income of $41,623. Rental expenses were $13,740, legal and accounting expenses totaled $92,876, and general and administrative expenses were $104,538. Interest expense and amortization of discount on notes payable was $333,929, with $52,301 representing accrued interest on the convertible notes payable, and $281,628 was amortization of discount on the convertible notes payable. Depreciation expense totaled $8,400. As a result, the Company had a net loss of $511,860 for the six months ended June 30, 2013.

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company lost $3,365 from its discontinued operations as a result of its limited activity.

Going Concern

The Company has suffered losses from operations and has a working capital deficit, and stockholders' deficit. The Company in all likelihood will be required to make significant future expenditures in connection with its new business plan of acquiring portfolios of rental homes along with incurring general and administrative expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern should the Company not be successful in raising new capital.

The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions. By doing so, the Company hopes to generate revenues from the rental of its future acquired residential home portfolios. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern
