REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of Lofts at the Highlands 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 conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; 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 are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's 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. 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 as described in Note 2 for the year ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis of Accounting
As described in Note 2 to the financial statement, 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, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Lofts at the Highlands' revenues and expenses. 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 February 25, 2014, KBS Legacy Partners Apartment REIT, Inc. (“KBS Legacy Partners REIT”), through an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, KBS Legacy Partners Lofts, LLC purchased a 200-unit apartment complex (“Lofts at the Highlands”) from Highlands Lofts, LLC (the “Seller”). The Seller is not affiliated with KBS Legacy Partners REIT or its advisors. Lofts at the Highlands is located in St. Louis, Missouri on approximately 2.8 acres of land. The purchase price of Lofts at the Highlands was $41.8 million plus closing costs.
KBS Legacy Partners REIT is a Maryland corporation formed to invest in and manage a diverse portfolio of high quality apartment communities located throughout the United States.
2. | BASIS OF PRESENTATION |
The accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses have been prepared to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Lofts at the Highlands is not a legal entity and the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses is not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain revenues and expenses have been excluded that may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses KBS Legacy Partners REIT expects to incur in the future operations of Lofts at the Highlands. Excluded items include interest, depreciation and amortization, and general and administrative costs not directly comparable to the future operations of Lofts at the Highlands.
An audited statement of revenues over 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) Lofts at the Highlands was acquired from an unaffiliated party and (ii) based on due diligence of Lofts at the Highlands by KBS Legacy Partners REIT, management is not aware of any material factors relating to Lofts at the Highlands that would cause this financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
Square footage, acreage, occupancy and other measures used to describe real estate included in these notes to the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses are presented on an unaudited basis.
3. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Revenue Recognition
Lofts at the Highlands leases multifamily residential apartments under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental revenue, net of concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Other income consists of charges billed to tenants for utilities, carport and garage rental, administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, as described in Note 2 and in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Environmental
Management is not aware of any material environmental liabilities relating to Lofts at the Highlands that could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. However, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or other environmental conditions with respect to Lofts at the Highlands could result in future environmental liabilities.
