Section 4 – Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Owens Financial Group, Inc., the General Partner of the Registrant, held on July 5, 2006, the accounting firm of Grant Thornton LLP was dismissed as the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm and principal certifying accountant.          

 

Grant Thornton LLP’s reports on the Registrant’s financial statements for the past two years ended December 31, 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

 

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and for the interim period ended July 5, 2006, there were no disagreements with Grant Thornton LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Grant Thornton LLP, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with their reports on the financial statements for such years. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and through July 5, 2006, there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a) (1) (v) of Regulation S-K. The Registrant has received a letter from Grant Thornton stating that it agrees with the foregoing disclosure, which letter is filed herewith as Exhibit 16.

 

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of Owens Financial Group, Inc., the General Partner of the Registrant, held on July 5, 2006, the accounting firm of Moss Adams LLP was engaged by the General Partner as its independent registered public accounting firm to perform future independent audits of the Registrant. Moss Adams LLP thereby replaced Grant Thornton LLP as the Registrant’s principal certifying accountant. During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and through July 5, 2006, the Registrant did not consult with Moss Adams regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a) (2) (i) or (ii) of Regulation S-K.
