REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members of
American Realty Partners, LLC
Phoenix, AZ
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Realty Partners, LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Company") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in members' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company 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 Company'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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American Realty Partners, LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and incurred negative cash flows from operations. These raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. Nature of Operations
American Realty Partners, LLC ("we", "our", the "Company") is a limited liability company formed in the State of Arizona on September 16, 2013. The Company's principal business is the acquisition and management of single-family residential properties (SFRs) in select communities throughout the United States.
On October 18, 2013, Equity Pacesetter, LLC ("EPS"), Equity Pacesetter II, LLC ("EPS II"), and Equity Pacesetter III, LLC ("EPS III"), three Arizona limited liability companies (together as "EPS entities"), merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company taking all the rights and privileges of the EPS entities. Each member's membership interests in the EPS entities were converted into membership interest in the Company based on the percentage interest of each member in the EPS entities and the percentage contribution of each of the EPS entities to the Company. The merger was accounted for as a transaction among entities under common control. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company are recorded at their carrying amounts at the date of transfer. The Company recorded an adjustment of $494,924 in Member's Equity for the merger.
On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with American Housing Income Trust, Inc. ("AHIT"), a Maryland corporation, and AHIT's shareholders, pursuant to which the Company acquired from the selling shareholders of AHIT 58,809,678 shares of common stock (representing 50.67% of the common shares outstanding of AHIT), and 20,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (representing 100% of the preferred shares outstanding of AHIT).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a) Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US"). These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ARP Pledgor, LLC and ARP Borrower, LLC and its 50.68% owned subsidiary, AHIT. All significant intercompany transaction and balances have been eliminated. The Company's fiscal year-end is December 31.
b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles in the United States 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to the useful life and recoverability of long-lived assets, and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company's estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2014 and 2013c) Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.
d) Income Taxes
The Company has been organized as a limited liability company under the laws of the State of Arizona. Under applicable Treasury Regulations, a limited liability company with more than two members is automatically treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, unless the limited liability company files an election with the IRS to be treated as a corporation. However, if the units of the Company were to be traded on an established securities market or a readily tradable secondary market or its substantial equivalent, the Company would be treated as a "publicly traded partnership" under the Code and taxed as a corporation. The Company has not filed, nor does it intend to file, an election to be treated as a corporation, and there is presently no public market for the units of the Company nor is it anticipated that any public market will develop, such that the Company should be treated as a "partnership" for federal income tax purposes. Under federal income tax law, a "partnership" is not an entity subject to taxation. The Company's members recognize their share of income and loss in their respective tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is recorded.

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2014 and 2013e) Investment in Real Estate
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. Fair value for land and building is based on the purchase price for these properties.
Property/SFRs acquired not subject to an existing lease are accounted for as an asset acquisition, with the property recorded at the purchase price, including acquisition costs. We incur costs to prepare our acquired properties to be rented. These costs are capitalized and allocated to building costs. Costs related to the restoration or improvement of our properties that improve and extend their useful lives are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the properties (building and improvements - 27 years).
f) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable represent the amount of rent receivables and interest receivable from promissory notes receivable invested by the Company, net of any allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible. The Company assesses these balances for collectability on a quarterly basis.
g) Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its real estate assets using the methodology prescribed in ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant and Equipment. Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment of its existing real estate assets held for investment include significant declines in property operating profits, annually recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions that are considered permanent in nature. Under ASC Topic 360, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of an asset (both the annual estimated cash flow from future operations and the estimated cash flow from the theoretical sale of the asset) over its estimated holding period are in excess of the asset's net book value at the balance sheet date. If any real estate asset held for investment is considered impaired, a loss is provided to reduce the carrying value to its estimated fair value

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2015 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2014 and 2013h) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, amounts due to/from related parties and notes payable are reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if, applicable, the stated rate of interest is equivalent to rates currently available.
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company utilizes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurements, defined as follows:
Level 1 Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that management has the ability to access.
Level 2 Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (commodity derivatives and interest rate swaps).
Level 3 Financial assets and liabilities for which values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company does not have any financial instruments that are required to be measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.

March 31, 2015 (Unaudited) and December 31, 2014 and 2013i) Revenue Recognition
Rental income for property leases is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. The Company leases single-family residences that the Company owns and manages directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with terms of one year. The Company performs credit investigations on prospective tenants and obtains security deposits. Sales and the associated gains or losses of real estate assets are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360-20, Property, Plant and Equipment - Real Estate Sale. The specific timing of a sale is measured against various criteria in ASC 360-20 related to the terms of the transaction and any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the properties. If the sales criteria for the full accrual method are not met, the Company defers some or all of the gain recognition and accounts for continued operations of the property by applying the finance, leasing, deposit, installment or cost recovery methods, as appropriate, until the sales criteria are met.
j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its consolidated financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
3. Going Concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has never paid any dividends and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing to continue operations, and the attainment of profitable operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $803,179, and as at March 31, 2015, the Company has accumulated losses of $6,016,553 since inception. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
4. Share Purchase Agreement
On February 4, 2015, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with American Housing Income Trust, Inc. ("AHIT"), a Maryland Corporation, pursuant to which the Company acquired 58,809,678 shares of common stock, representing 50.67% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock of AHIT, and 20,000 shares of Series A preferred stock of AHIT, representing 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock of AHIT in consideration for $325,000. The agreement closed on February 13, 2015. The Company recognized the $325,000 paid to the selling shareholders as acquisition expense as the amount is for the reverse merger that closed on July 6, 2015. See Note 12.
