Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Members

Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of Paramount Business Center for the year ended December 31, 2004. This statement of revenue and certain expenses is the responsibility of the management of Paramount Business Center. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses is free of material misstatement.  The Paramount Business Center 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 of designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Paramount Business Center’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 statement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the current report on Form 8-K/A of Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the revenue and expenses of the property.

 

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses of Paramount Business Center presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses described in Note 1 of Paramount Business Center for the year ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

PARAMOUNT BUSINESS CENTER

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

 

1.             Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

The accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses includes the operations of Paramount Business Center (the “Property”) located in Paramount, California, which was acquired by Cornerstone Realty Fund, LLC (the “Fund”), from a nonaffiliated third party. The Property was acquired on April 28, 2005 for $3,100,000 and has 30,157 leasable square feet on approximately 1.66 acres of land (unaudited).

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying statements of revenue and certain expenses have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, Rule 3-14.  Accordingly, the statements exclude items not comparable to the proposed future operations of the Property such as mortgage interest, leasehold rental, depreciation, corporate expenses, and federal and state income taxes.

 

The accompanying statements are not representative of the actual operations for the periods presented, as certain expenses that may not be comparable to the expenses expected to be incurred by the Fund in the future operations of the Property have been excluded.  The statement for the three months ended March 31, 2005 is unaudited and reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the operating results for the interim period presented.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Rental revenue is recognized on an accrual basis as it is earned over the lives of the respective tenant leases on a straight-line basis.  Rental receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility.

 

Use of 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 revenue and certain expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates in the near term.

 

2.             Industrial Property

 

The future minimum lease payments to be received under existing operating leases as of December 31, 2004, are as follows:

 

2005

 

$

242,965

 

2006

 

184,038

 

2007

 

108,172

 

2008

 

47,187

 

 

 

$

582,362

 

 

F-3



 

Industrial space in the Property is generally leased to tenants under lease terms, which provide for the tenants to pay increases in operating expenses in excess of specified amounts.  The above future minimum lease payments do not include specified payments for tenant reimbursements of operating expenses.

 

The leases include scheduled base rent increases over their respective terms; the difference between base rental income on a straight-line basis and amounts currently due pursuant to the lease agreements was not significant.

 

Five tenants represent approximately 62% of the rental income of the Property for each of the periods presented.

The purchase price has been allocated to land ($1,100,000), buildings ($1,876,483) and in-place leases ($129,194).  The Company obtained an independent, third-party appraisal as the basis for this allocation in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”).
