REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Members of
PCH Atlanta Venture, LLC
PCH Atlanta Venture, LLC
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of PCH Atlanta Venture, LLC and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity, and cash flows for the period May 11, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards as established by the Auditing Standards Board (United States) and in accordance with the 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 of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PCH Atlanta Venture, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period May 11, 2007 (inception) through December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. | Organization and Formation | |
PCH Atlanta Venture, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), were formed on May 11, 2007 between Post Atlanta Venture, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Post Apartment Homes, L.P. (collectively “Post”) and CH Realty IV/CCL Atlanta Investor, L.L.C. (“Crow”). The Company was formed to own and operate three multifamily residential communities (the “Communities”), containing 1,202 units, located in Atlanta, Georgia. | ||
At the initial formation date, Post contributed two communities (land, buildings, improvements and fixtures) at an agreed upon value of approximately $120,141 in exchange for a 25% ownership interest in the Company. Crow made an initial cash contribution of $27,114 for a 75% ownership interest in the Company. Simultaneous with the formation of the Company, the Company distributed cash to Post totaling approximately $110,624, a portion of which was funded by the Company through the financing of the communities with mortgage indebtedness totaling approximately $85,723 (see note 4). Upon the completion of the formation transactions, Post’s initial capital contribution in the Company totaled approximately $9,038. In December 2007, Post contributed the third community (land, buildings, improvements and fixtures) at an agreed upon value of approximately $61,239. Crow made an additional capital contribution of $15,746. Simultaneous with this contribution, the Company distributed cash to Post totaling approximately $55,957, a portion of which was funded by the Company through the financing of the community with mortgage indebtedness totaling approximately $41,000 (see note 4). Upon the completion of this contribution transaction, Post’s additional capital contribution in the Company totaled approximately $5,249. | ||
Under the provisions of the limited liability company agreement (see note 3), Post and its affiliates are responsible for the ongoing management of the operations of the Company and the Communities. At December 31, 2007, the physical occupancy for the three communities owned by the Company was 98%, 93% and 97%, respectively. |
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Real estate assets, intangible assets and depreciation and amortization
On the dates the Communities were contributed to the Company, the aggregate agreed upon values were allocated to land ($48,080), building, improvements and equipment ($129,650) and identified lease related intangible assets ($3,650) Operating real estate assets are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, if deemed impaired. Depreciation for building, land improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment is recognized on a straight-line basis over periods of 40, 20 and 5 years, respectively. Lease intangible assets, primarily in-place lease values, are reflected in other assets and amortized over the average remaining lease terms of the leases in-place on the contribution dates (generally five months to seven months). Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its real estate assets using the methodology prescribed in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” Factors considered by management in evaluating impairment of its existing real estate assets include significant declines in property operating profits, recurring property operating losses and other significant adverse changes in general market conditions that are considered permanent in nature. Under SFAS No. 144, a real estate asset held for investment is not considered impaired if the undiscounted, estimated future cash flows of the asset (both the annual estimated cash flow from future operations and the estimated cash flow from the

theoretical sale of the asset) over its estimated holding period are in excess of the asset’s net book value at the balance sheet date.
Revenue recognition
Residential property is leased under operating leases with terms of generally one year or less. Rental revenues from residential leases are recognized on the straight-line method over the approximate life of the leases, which is generally one year. The Company’s Communities are located in Atlanta, Georgia with an economically similar tenant base. As the Company collects rental payments in advance each month, the credit risk associated with the geographic concentration is reduced.
Under the terms of residential leases, the residents of the community are obligated to reimburse the Company for certain water utility usage where the Company is the primary obligor to the public utility entity. This utility reimbursement from residents is reflected as other property revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 these estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all demand accounts, money market accounts, certificates of deposit and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Income taxes
As the Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership, no federal or state income taxes are payable by the Company, and none have been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. The members will include their share of Company income or losses in their respective income tax returns, as applicable.
New accounting pronouncements
In 2007, several new accounting pronouncements were issued and the pronouncements with a potential impact on the Company in 2007 and in future periods are discussed below.
SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” was issued in September 2006. SFAS No. 157 provides a definition of fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. SFAS No. 157 clarified the definition of fair value in an effort to eliminate inconsistencies in the application of fair value under generally accepted accounting principles. Additional disclosure focusing on the methods used to determine fair value are also required. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115,” was issued in February 2007. SFAS No. 159 gives the Company the irrevocable option to carry most financial assets and liabilities at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2008. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations,” was issued in December 2007. SFAS No. 141R will replace SFAS No. 141 on the date it becomes effective. SFAS No. 141R will require 1) acquirers to recognize all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, 2) that the acquisition date be used to determine fair value for all assets acquired and all liabilities assumed, and 3) enhanced disclosures for the acquirer surrounding the financial effects of the business combination. The provisions of SFAS 141R will lead to the expensing of acquisition related transaction costs and the potential recognition of acquisition related contingencies. SFAS No. 141R is effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company does not expect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141R will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
3. | Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement | |
The operations of the Company are governed by a limited liability company operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”). The major provisions of the Operating Agreement are summarized below. |
Ownership interests
The ownership interests of the members are as follows:
Crow | 75.0 | % | ||
Post | 25.0 | |||
100.0 | % | |||
Capital contributions
Additional capital contributions, required by the Operating Agreement, will be funded by the members in accordance with their respective ownership interests.
Income and loss allocations
The income and loss of the Company are generally allocated to the members in a manner consistent with the cumulative allocation of cash flow to the members. This results in income and loss allocations to the members in accordance with their ownership interests until such time as the cumulative preferred return amount has been distributed to the members (see distributions below). Thereafter, cumulative allocations follow the percentage interests used for cash flow distributions.
Distributions
The Company’s net cash flow from operations, as defined, is distributed monthly to the members in accordance with their percentage interests.

2) | The balance, if any: |
a) | One third (1/3) to Post, and, | ||
b) | The remaining two thirds (2/3) in accordance with the respective members’ percentage interests |
4. | Mortgage Notes Payable | |
In connection with the formation of and the contribution of the Communities to the Company, the Company entered into three mortgage note arrangements, each secured by one of the apartment communities. Two of the mortgage notes totaling $85,723 bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.63%, require monthly interest only payments and mature in 2017. The third mortgage note totaling $41,000 bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.71%, requires monthly interest only payments and matures in 2017. |
5. | Related-Party Transactions | |
The real property underlying the Communities is net leased to the Company by Post Apartment Homes, L.P. through 2106. The leases contain a bargain purchase option exercisable by the Company, as defined in the lease agreements. | ||
Under the provisions of the Operating Agreement, Post is responsible for the management of the Venture. In connection with management of the Venture, Post earned fees and received expense reimbursements as follows: |
2007 | ||||
Asset and management fees | $ | 346 | ||
Expense reimbursements (primarily personnel costs) | 730 | |||

In November 2006, the Equal Rights Center filed a lawsuit against Post in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. This suit alleges various violations of the Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) at properties designed, constructed or operated by Post, including the Communities. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages in unspecified amounts, an award of attorneys’ fees and costs of suit, as well as preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that includes retrofitting multi-family units and public use areas to comply with the FHA and the ADA and prohibiting construction or sale of noncompliant units or complexes, including the Communities. Due to the preliminary nature of the proceeding, it is not possible to predict or determine the outcome of the lawsuit, nor is it possible to estimate the amount of loss that would be associated with an adverse decision. In connection with the formation of the Company, Post agreed to indemnify Crow for any liabilities associated with this litigation caused by conditions existing prior to the contribution of the Communities to the Company. |
