REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners Crestview Housing, Ltd.
Kalispell, Montana
and
USDA Rural Development Servicing Office Kalispell, Montana
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Crestview Housing, Ltd., RHS Project No. 31-015- 387826946, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation an fair presentation of the financial statements 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. The Crestview Housing, Ltd. is not required to have, or were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. 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 financial statements.
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Crestview Housing, Ltd. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

CRESTVIEW HOUSING, LTD. RHS PROJECT NO. 31-015-387826946
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
Crestview Housing, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was formed June 30, 2006, as a limited partnership under the laws of the State of Montana, for the purpose of constructing and operating a 24-unit apartment project, located in Bigfork, Montana.
As incentive for investment equity, the Partnership applied for and received an allocation certificate for low-income housing tax credits established by the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Tenant eligibility and rental charges are restricted in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 42. The low-income housing tax credits are provided for the purchase and rehabilitation of the project.
The Project also receives rental assistance for a portion of the units under a rental assistance contract with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Development. This agreement provides a significant portion of the Project's rental income. During 2014 and 2013, rental assistance payments received under this contract were $51,569 and $54,150, respectively.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements of the partnership are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, whereby income is recognized as earned and expenses are recognized as obligations are incurred, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Statement of Cash Flows considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. These amounts are available for current operations and development and exclude amounts restricted for repayment of tenant security deposits and restricted reserves.
Cash and Other Deposits
The Partnership maintains its cash in financial institutions insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Deposit accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. Interest bearing and non-interest bearing deposits are insured by the FDIC up to $250,000 per bank. The Partnership has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Tenant Receivable and Bad Debt Policy
Tenant rent charges for the current month are due on the first of the month. Tenants who are evicted or move out are charged with damages or cleaning fees, if applicable. Tenant receivable consists of amounts due for rental income, security deposit or the charges for damages and cleaning fees. The Partnership does not accrue interest on the tenant receivable balances.
The Partnership has not established an allowance for doubtful accounts and does not use the reserve method for recognizing bad debts. Bad debts are treated as direct write-offs in the period management determines that collection is not probable. Included in expenses are bad debts of $0 and $0 for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Capitalization and Depreciation
Land, buildings and improvements are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives using the straight-line method. 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. The resulting gains and losses are reflected in the statement of operations. The rental property is depreciated over estimated service lives as follows:
Buildings & Improvements
|
27.5 years
|
Straight-Line
|
Furnishings & Equipment | 7 years | Straight-Line |
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The Partnership reviews its investment in real estate for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such property may not be recoverable. Recoverability is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the real estate to the future net undiscounted cash flow expected to be generated by the rental property including the low income housing tax credits and any estimated proceeds from the eventual disposition of the real estate. If the real estate is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured at the amount by which the carrying amount of the real estate exceeds the fair value of such property. There were no impairment losses recognized in 2014 or 2013.
Other Assets - Loan Fees
Other assets consist of capitalized costs related to the arrangement of the permanent financing for the Project. These costs will be amortized over the life of the related debt.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Tenants' Security Deposits
Tenants' security deposits are held in a separate bank account in the name of the project. At December 31, 2014, this account was funded in an amount greater than the security deposit liability.
Income Taxes
No provision or benefit for income taxes has been included in these financial statements since taxable income or loss passes through to, and is reportable by, the partners individually.
The Partnership's tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities, and the open audit periods are 2011 through 2013.
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 the tenants of the property are operating leases.
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 (deficit) or cash flows. References to the authoritative accounting literature in the notes to the financial statements are the FASB ASC references.
Tax and Insurance Account
Under the loan terms of the Rural Development loan, the Partnership must make escrow deposits for property taxes and insurance monthly. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, monthly deposits for property taxes and insurance had not been segregated.
Special Operating Reserve
Under the terms of the Partnership agreement, a special operating reserve was to be established at $50,000 upon the capital contribution of the Limited Partner and was to be maintained to the end of the compliance period for operating deficits. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the special operating reserve had a balance of $0 due to construction cost overruns.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013
NOTE C - 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 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
NOTE D - PARTNERS' CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership has one general partner, American Covenant Senior Housing Foundation, Inc., one limited partner, WNC Housing Tax Credit Fund VI Series 13, L.P., and one special limited partner, WNC Housing, L.P. As of December 31, 2014, the limited partners have contributed $1,874,820. The partnership agreement requires the Limited Partners to make capital contribution installments totaling
$1,973,484 subject to any low-income housing tax credit adjustments. The remaining balance of $98,664 shall be payable upon satisfaction of the criteria described in Section 7 of the partnership agreement.
NOTE E - INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $11,067 and $13,042, respectively, consisted of the following amounts:
Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $1,975 and $6,000, respectively. Estimated aggregated amortization expense for each of the next five years is:

The project is financed by a 50-year mortgage payable to RHS in the original amount of $522,500. The 10.625% mortgage is payable in monthly installments of $4,671 through November 2035.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the balance of the note payable was 469,784 and $475,577, respectively.
The liability of the partnership under the mortgage note is limited to the underlying value of the real estate collateral plus other amounts deposited with the lender.
In accordance with the loan agreement with RHS, a reserve for replacements is to be funded $6,000 annually until the account reaches a balance of $60,000. The amount on hand at December 31, 2014, was $78,564 which was funded.
The apartment project is pledged as collateral for the mortgage. The mortgage loan is nonrecourse debt secured by deeds of trust on the related real estate.

The project is also financed by a 30-year loan note payable to Glacier Bank in the original amount of $230,466. On April 26, 2013, the parties agreed to a change in the agreement regarding the terms of the loan. The 8.5% mortgage was reduced to an interest rate of 6.875% and remains payable in monthly installments of $1,541 through June 2038.

NOTE N - CONTINGENCY
Housing Tax Credits (Unaudited)
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.

In 2014, the Partnership received an Affordable Housing Preservation Grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle that was used to pay for rehabilitation costs incurred the prior year. The Grant's regulatory agreement requires that the rental units be occupied by persons at or below 30 to 50 percent of the area median income for a period of 15 years and certain reporting requirements. Should sale or refinancing of the project occur prior to the 15-year compliance period, grant funds in the amount of $270,939 must be repaid unless the project continues to be subject to recorded deed restriction or other legally enforceable retention agreement.
NOTE O - CURRENT VULNERABILITY DUE TO CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
The Partnership's sole asset is the apartment complex. The Partnership's operations are concentrated in the affordable housing real estate market. In addition, the Partnership operates in a heavily regulated environment. The operations of the Partnership are subject to the administrative directives, rules and regulations of federal, state and local regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, RD and the State Housing Agency. Such administrative directives, rules and regulations are subject to change by an act of Congress or an administrative change mandated by RD or the State Housing Agency. Such changes may occur with little notice or inadequate funding to pay for the related cost, including the additional administrative burden, to comply with a change.

NOTE P - TAX CREDIT GUARANTY
The Partnership has been allocated Federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits under Internal Revenue Code Section 42. The tax credits are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements of the Partnership and, therefore, have not been audited. According to the terms of the Partnership agreement, if the anticipated amount of projected tax credits to be allocated to the Limited Partner are less than the projected tax credit amount, then the capital contributions of the Limited Partner will be reduced by an amount equal to the permanent credit reduction.
NOTE Q - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 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 Crestview Housing, Ltd. through February 6, 2015, the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded that no additional subsequent events aside from the aforementioned ongoing litigation have occurred that would require recognition in the Financial Statements or disclosure in the Notes to the Financial Statements.
