INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
Apartment Housing of East Brewton, Ltd.

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Apartment Housing of East Brewton, Ltd. (an Alabama limited partnership) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive income, partners' capital (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of Apartment Housing of East Brewton, Ltd.'s management. 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Apartment Housing of East Brewton, Ltd. as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental information on page 11 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

APARTMENT HOUSING OF EAST BREWTON, LTD.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

HISTORY - Apartment Housing of East Brewton, Ltd., an Alabama limited partnership, formed during June 1998. The partnership owns and operates a forty (40) unit apartment complex in East Brewton, Alabama for low and moderate income persons. Such projects are regulated by the Alabama Housing Finance Authority as to rent charges and operating methods. The regulatory agreement limits annual distributions of net operating receipts. Construction was completed and the units were available for rental in February of 1999.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting whereby revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when the liability is incurred.

PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND RELATED DEPRECIATION - Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation as calculated under the straight-line and declining balance methods. The assets are being depreciated as follows:

 
Buildings
40 years, straight-line
 
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment
5-7 years, declining balance

INCOME TAXES - Items of income and loss pass through to the individual partners for both Federal and State income tax purposes; therefore, the financial statements reflect no tax liability or benefit. Modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) is used for income tax reporting purposes.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash includes unrestricted cash investments with an initial maturity not in excess of ninety (90) days. Cash flows from interest rate swap hedging the company's mortgage payable are classified as interest paid in the statement of cash flows.

ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

ADVERTISING - The partnership expenses the cost of advertising the first time the advertising activity takes place.

See independent auditors' report.

SECURITY DEPOSITS - A separate account is maintained for tenant security deposits as specified under Alabama law. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, this account is properly funded.

TAXES AND INSURANCE - The partnership is to transfer monthly an amount estimating one-twelfth of the annual cost of real estate taxes and insurance. These expenditures are then to be paid from this account. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, this account is properly funded.

Total
  $ 1,110,827  

4.    INTEREST RATE SWAP -- On July 12, 2002, the partnership entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Compass Bank. The purpose of this agreement was to hedge cash flows against variable interest rates on their mortgage loan to Compass Bank. The terms include a notional amount equal to the outstanding mortgage loan whereby the partnership pays a fixed rate of interest, 8.25%, and receives a variable rate of interest equal to 1.75% over LIBOR not less than 5.25% and expires May 1, 2019. The net payments are calculated and paid on a monthly basis. The carrying amount of the swap has been adjusted to its fair value at the end of the year, which because of changes in forecasted levels of LIBOR resulted in reporting a liability for the fair value of the future net payments forecasted under the swap. The liability is classified as non-current since management does not intend to settle it during 2007. Since the critical terms of the swap and the note are the same, the swap is assumed to be completely effective as a hedge, and none of the change in its fair value is included in income. Accordingly, all of the adjustment of the swap's carrying amount is reported as other comprehensive loss. Estimated net payments of $5,590 are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS - Apartment Services and Management, Inc., an affiliate of the general partners, managed the project during 2006 and 2005 pursuant to a contract approved by Alabama Housing Finance Authority. Management fees are $11,993 and $11,237 in 2006 and 2005, respectively. Management fees included in accounts payable at December 31, 2006 and 2005 are $6,200 and $6,677, respectively.
