REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Reven Housing REIT, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues over certain operating expenses of the Houston 97 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2015, 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 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 the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses that is free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors’ 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 of America. 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 described in Note 2 of the Houston 97 Homes for the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Other Matters

As described in Note 2, 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 (for inclusion in Form 8-K/A), and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenues and expenses of Houston 97 Homes. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

The accompanying audited statements of revenues over certain operating expenses have been prepared to comply with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Houston 97 Homes is not a legal entity and the accompanying statements of revenues over certain operating expenses are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain revenues and expenses have been excluded on the basis that they may not be comparable to the revenues and expenses the Company expects to incur in the future operations of the Houston 97 Homes.

The accompanying unaudited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained within the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the instructions to Form 8-K and Article 3-14 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the unaudited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, the statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the unaudited interim period presented includes all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair and consistent presentation of the results for such period. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

An audited statement of revenues over certain operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2015 is being presented for the most recent fiscal year available instead of the two most recent years based on the following factors: (i) Houston 97 Homes was acquired from an unrelated party and (ii) based on due diligence of the Houston 97 Homes by the Company, management is not aware of any material factors relating to the Houston 97 Homes that would cause this financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.
