REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To the Partners of
United Development Funding, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of United Development Funding, L.P. and subsidiaries which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”); this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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 financial statements 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 financial statements.
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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Development Funding, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with GAAP.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial statements
December 31, 2013 and 2012
A. Nature of Business
United Development Funding, L.P. (“UDF” or the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed on June 11, 2003, and began operations on July 1, 2003. United Development Funding, Inc. (“UDF I Inc.”), a Delaware corporation, is the general partner of the Partnership. UDF generates income by (1) originating, purchasing, and holding for investment, for its own account, loans made to real estate developers for the acquisition and development of parcels of real property as single-family residential lots; (2) making real estate related equity investments for the acquisition and development of parcels of real property as single-family residential lots or for sale to others to develop as single-family residential lots; (3) entering into participation agreements with real estate developers engaged in the development of single-family residential lots; and (4) providing credit enhancements with respect to loans made to real estate developers for the acquisition and development of parcels of real property as single-family residential lots. UMTH Land Development, L.P. (“Land Development”) has been engaged to provide asset management services to the Partnership. The Partnership’s corporate offices are located in Grapevine, Texas.
The Partnership has no employees. The Partnership’s operations are conducted at the corporate offices of Land Development, its asset manager, at 1301 Municipal Way, Grapevine, Texas 76051.
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Basis of Accounting
The accounts are maintained and the consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDF TX One, L.P. (“Texas One”), OU Land Acquisitions, L.P. (“OU Land”), UDF PM, LLC (“UDF PM”), WL Woodland Lakes, LLC (“Woodland Lakes”), UDF Ash Creek, L.P. (“Ash Creek”), UDF Northpointe II, L.P. (“Northpointe II”), OU Land Acquisition Two, L.P. (“OU II”), HLL Land Acquisitions, L.P. (“HLL”), HLL II Land Acquisitions, L.P. (“HLL II”) and One KR Venture, L.P. (“One KR”), which are wholly owned through limited partnership and member interests.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial statements(continued)
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Principles of Consolidation - continued
Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had no such investments included in cash and cash equivalents. UDF maintains deposits primarily in three financial institutions, which may at times exceed amounts covered by insurance provided by the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). UDF has not experienced any losses related to amounts in excess of FDIC limits.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes monies in money market accounts where the beneficiaries are senior lenders.
Development Mortgage Notes Receivable
Development mortgage notes receivable (including related party) are recorded at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. The mortgage investments are collateralized by a first or second lien deed of trust on the underlying real estate collateral or a pledge of ownership interests in the borrower, as well as promissory notes and other loan documents. As of December 31, 2013, the development mortgage notes receivable originated by the Partnership, as amended; have terms ranging from 5 to 48 months. None of such mortgages are insured or guaranteed by a federally owned or guaranteed mortgage agency. UDF originates and/or acquires development mortgage notes receivable and intends to hold the development mortgage notes receivable for the life of the notes.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is the Partnership’s estimate of incurred losses in its portfolio of development mortgage notes receivable (including related party). The Partnership periodically performs a detailed review of its portfolio of mortgage notes and other loans to determine if impairment has occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Partnership’s review consists of evaluating economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral, and other relevant factors. This review is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as conditions change.

Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial statements(continued)
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Allowance for Loan Losses – continued
In reviewing the portfolio, the Partnership uses cash flow estimates from the disposition of finished lots, paper lots (residential lots shown on a plat that has been accepted by the city or county, but which are currently undeveloped or under development) and undeveloped land as well as cash flow received from the issuance of bonds from municipal reimbursement and public utility districts. These estimates are based on current market metrics, including, without limitation, the supply of finished lots, paper lots, and undeveloped land, the supply of homes and the rate and price at which land and homes are sold, historic levels and trends, executed contracts, appraisals, and discussions with third party market analysts and participants, including homebuilders. The Partnership bases its valuations on current and historic market trends on the Partnership’s analysis of market events and conditions, including activity within its portfolio, as well as those of third-party services such as Metrostudy and Residential Strategies, Inc. Cash flow forecasts also are based on executed purchase contracts which provide base prices, escalation rates, and absorption rates on an individual project basis. For projects deemed to have an extended time horizon for disposition, the Partnership considers third-party appraisals to provide a valuation in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In addition to cash flows from the disposition of property, cost analysis is performed based on estimates of development and senior financing expenditures provided by developers and independent professionals on a project-by-project basis. These amounts are reconciled with the Partnership’s best estimates to establish the net realizable value of the portfolio.
The Partnership charges additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against, or “charged off”, and decrease the allowance for loan losses, while amounts recovered on previously charged off accounts increase the allowance.
Investments in Partnerships
UDF accounts for certain investments in partnerships using the equity method of accounting. These investments are initially recorded at cost and are adjusted for UDF’s share of equity in earnings, losses and distributions. UDF reports its share of income and losses based on ownership interests. In connection with the acquisition of investments in partnerships, UDF incurs certain acquisition fees that are paid to an affiliate. These fees are capitalized as part of UDF’s basis in the investments. Investments in partnerships are generally secured by residential development property located throughout the United States of America, primarily in Texas.
One investment in a partnership contains a preferred return. The current portion of the preferred return was compounded monthly into the investment balance until July 2008. See Note D Investments in Partnerships – 170 Dowdell, Ltd. for further discussion.
Real Estate Owned
Real estate owned is stated at cost, which includes costs associated with the acquisition and development of real estate, unless it is determined that the value has been impaired, in which case the real estate owned would be written down to fair value.
united development funding, l.p.
Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial statements(continued)
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Contract for Deed
Contract for deed represents a receivable whereby Northpointe II initially transferred ownership of 255 finished lots and 114 acres in Collin County, Texas (the “Northpointe II Collateral”) to UDF Northpointe, LLC (“Northpointe”), an unrelated entity, in return for Northpointe agreeing to make all scheduled principal and interest payments on the underlying debt of the Northpointe II Collateral to Northpointe II as payments become due and payable by Northpointe II. The contract for deed represents the outstanding balance of all amounts receivable from Northpointe. See Note F - Contract for Deed for further discussion.
Revenue Recognition
Interest income on development mortgage notes receivable and development mortgage notes receivable – related party is recognized over the life of the loan and recorded on the accrual basis. Income recognition is suspended for loans on the date at which, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes more likely than not, but is no longer probable, based upon the Partnership’s review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Any payments received on loans classified as non-accrual status are typically applied first to outstanding loan amounts and then to the recovery of lost interest. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had suspended income recognition on nine development mortgage notes receivables with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $32.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
Earnings or losses from investments in partnerships are recorded as earned and collectability is deemed probable for preferred interest income or using the equity method of accounting, depending on the terms of the partnership. UDF is currently not accruing the 40% preferred return on one investment with an investment balance of $10.3 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Real estate owned - property sales income is recorded as lots are sold and collectability is deemed probable.
Profits interest income is recorded as earned. See Note E - Real Estate Owned – MU Williamsburg, LLC, for further discussion.
Mortgage and transaction service revenues are recorded as services are completed and collectability is deemed probable.
Income Taxes
UDF is organized as a limited partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a result, income or losses are taxable or deductible to the partners rather than at the partnership level; accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
united development funding, l.p.
Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial statements(continued)
B. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued
Income Taxes – continued
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. In accordance with FASB ASC 740, the Partnership must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based on the technical merits of the position. The Partnership believes it has no such uncertain positions.
The Partnership files income tax returns in the United States federal jurisdiction. At December 31, 2013, tax returns related to fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012, remain open to possible examination by the tax authorities. No tax returns are currently under examination by any tax authorities. The Partnership did not incur any penalties or interest related to its federal tax returns during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
In accordance with the reporting requirements of FASB ASC 825-10,Financial Instruments-Fair Value, the fair value of assets and liabilities which qualify as financial instruments under this statement is calculated and this additional information is included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements when the fair value is different than the carrying value of those financial instruments. The estimated fair values of restricted cash, accrued interest receivable, accounts receivable – related parties, accounts payable, accounts payable – related parties, accrued expenses, accrued interest payable and accrued interest payable – related parties approximate the carrying amounts due to the relatively short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair values of development mortgage notes receivable (including related party) and notes payable (including related parties) approximate the carrying amounts since they bear interest at market rates.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

C. Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses – continued
A loan is placed on non-accrual status and income recognition is suspended at the date at which, in the opinion of management, a full recovery of income and principal becomes more likely than not, but is no longer probable, based upon our review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral and other relevant factors. Income recognition is resumed when the loan becomes contractually current and performance is demonstrated to be resumed. Any payments received on loans classified as non-accrual status are typically applied first to outstanding loan amounts and then to the recovery of lost interest.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had suspended income recognition on nine development mortgage notes receivables with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $32.9 million and $33.0 million, respectively.
Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled principal and interest payments. Impairment is generally evaluated on an individual loan basis for each loan in the portfolio. If an individual loan is considered impaired, a specific valuation allowance may be allocated, if necessary, so that the individual loan is reported net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected solely from collateral. Loans that are not individually considered impaired are collectively and qualitatively measured as a portfolio for general valuation allowance.
In reviewing its portfolio for this valuation analysis, the Partnership uses cash flow estimates from the disposition of finished lots, paper lots (residential lots shown on a plat that has been accepted by the city or county, but which is currently undeveloped or under development) and undeveloped land as well as cash flow received from the issuance of bonds from municipal reimbursement districts. These estimates are based on current market metrics, including, without limitation, the supply of finished lots, paper lots and undeveloped land, the supply of homes and the rate and price at which land and homes are sold, historic levels and trends, executed contracts, appraisals and discussions with third party market analysts and participants, including homebuilders. The Partnership bases its valuations on current and historic market trends on the Partnership’s analysis of market events and conditions, including activity within its portfolio, as well as the analysis of third-party services such as Metrostudy and Residential Strategies, Inc. Cash flow forecasts also are based on executed purchase contracts which provide base prices, escalation rates, and absorption rates on an individual project basis. For projects deemed to have an extended time horizon for disposition, the Partnership considers third-party appraisals to provide a valuation in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. In addition to cash flows from the disposition of property, cost analysis is performed based on estimates of development and senior financing expenditures provided by developers and independent professionals on a project-by-project basis. These amounts are reconciled with the Partnership’s best estimates to establish the net realizable value of the portfolio.

Interest is recognized on an accrual basis for impaired loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is deemed probable. Any payments received on such loans are first applied to outstanding accrued interest receivable and then to outstanding unpaid principal balance. Any payments received on impaired loans in which the collectability of the unpaid principal amount is less than probable are typically applied to outstanding unpaid principal and then to the recovery of lost interest on a cash basis. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.
As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership has 12 development mortgage notes receivable with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $38.6 million that are considered impaired due to the loans remaining outstanding beyond the contractual term of the loan agreement. Of these 12 loans, full collectability is considered probable for 4 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $7.0 million, and full collectability is considered more likely than not, but not probable, for 8 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $31.6 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Partnership has 14 development mortgage notes receivable with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $62.1 million that are considered impaired due to the loans remaining outstanding beyond the contractual term of the loan agreement. Of these 14 loans, full collectability is considered probable for 6 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $30.4 million, and full collectability is considered more likely than not, but not probable, for 8 loans with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of approximately $31.7 million.
For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the average outstanding aggregate unpaid principal balance for impaired loans was approximately $43.2 million and $40.6 million, respectively. For each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership recognized approximately $2.5 million and $1.2 million of interest income, related to impaired loans, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership did not recognize any cash basis interest income related to impaired loans. No specific allowance was allocated to impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and no amount was charged-off against the allowance for loan losses associated with impaired loans during 2013 and 2012.
As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the loan portfolio, the Partnership periodically, no less than quarterly, performs a detailed review of its portfolio of mortgage notes and other loans.

The following is a general description of the credit levels used:
Level 1 – Full collectability of loans in this category is considered probable.
Level 2 – Full collectability of loans in this category is deemed more likely than not, but not probable, based upon the Partnership’s review of economic conditions, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the guarantor, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay or the value of the collateral, and other relevant factors. Interest income is suspended on Level 2 loans.
Level 3 – For loans in this category, it is probable that the Partnership will be unable to collect all amounts due.
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership’s loans were classified as follows:
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | | | | | |
Level 1 | | $ | 76,063,000 | | | $ | 84,193,000 | |

The allowance for loan losses is the Partnership’s estimate of incurred losses in its portfolio of development mortgage notes receivable (including related party). The Partnership periodically performs a detailed review of its portfolio of mortgage notes and other loans to determine if impairment has occurred and to assess the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The Partnership charges additions to the allowance for loan losses to current period earnings through a provision for loan losses. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly against (and decrease) the allowance for loan losses (“charged off”), while amounts recovered on previously charged off amounts increase the allowance for loan losses. The following table summarizes the changes in the reserve for loan losses during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, which is offset against development mortgage notes receivable:

The Partnership has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-02,A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. In accordance with FASB ASU 2011-02, the restructuring of a loan is considered a “troubled debt restructuring” if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession. Concessions may include interest rate reductions or below market interest rates, principal forgiveness, restructuring amortization schedules and other actions intended to minimize potential losses. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership has no loan modifications that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.

The Agreement was modified on December 15, 2009, resulting in the Lennar Parties transferring ownership of One KR to UDF. On May 17, 2010, the parties signed a second amendment to the Agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to complete construction of a recreation center in One KR. In August 2011 the Lennar Parties sued the UDF Parties claiming that the UDF Parties had breached the Agreement by failing to negotiate in good faith with the Lennar Parties to sell a portion of the entitled land owned by One KR to the Lennar Parties. The UDF Parties denied the claims of the Lennar Parties and alleged that previous good faith offers of sale from the UDF Parties to the Lennar Parties were either rejected or ignored by the Lennar Parties. In January 2012 the UDF Parties filed counterclaims against the Lennar Parties alleging the breach of the Agreement by the Lennar Parties. On November 6, 2013, the UDF Parties and the Lennar Parties settled the lawsuit on terms favorable to the UDF Parties and entered into contracts for the sale and purchase of lots in Kallison Ranch and Indian Springs.

I. Partners’ Capital
In July 2004 UDF entered into a master participation agreement with United Development Funding II, L.P. (“UDF II”). Under the agreement, UDF II invests capital pari passu and pro rata with investments of UDF, including, without limitation, investments in loans, profit participations, and equity. Further, UDF and UDF II intend to share pari passu and pro rata based on the amount of capital used to purchase UDF investments, all allocated liabilities, allocated income, and allocated expenses as determined by UDF at its reasonable discretion. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the balance of the participation interest was approximately $20.4 million and $19.6 million, respectively.
Land Development has a 50% profit interest in UDF. Land Development has no contingent liability exposure related to UDF’s activities, as Land Development is only a limited partner and no guarantees have been provided by Land Development or any of its subsidiaries. No profit participation was allocated to Land Development during 2013 or 2012. The partnership agreement income allocation is discussed below.
On a calendar quarter basis, net losses of UDF are allocated first to the limited partners, pro rata, provided that net losses shall not be allocated to the extent that such allocation would cause any limited partner to have a deficit balance in its adjusted capital account at the end of such year. Second, the balance of the net loss, if any, is allocated 100% to the general partner.
On a calendar quarter basis, net income of UDF is first allocated to the general partner in an amount equal to the aggregate net losses allocated for all previous years, if any; second, to the limited partners in an amount equal to the aggregate net losses allocated to such limited partners for all previous years, if any; third, the balance, if any, to the limited partners that have made capital contributions, until such limited partners have received a cumulative annualized return of 12% on their capital contributions (“Preferred Return”); fourth, the balance, if any, to the profit interest limited partners, until such profit interest limited partners have received amounts equal to the Preferred Return; and finally, the remaining balance, if any, is allocated pro rata to the general partner and limited partners.
J. Commitments and Contingencies
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Partnership from time to time enters into guarantees of debtor’s borrowings and provides credit enhancements for the benefit of senior lenders in connection with the Partnership’s debtors and investments in partnerships (collectively referred to as “guarantees”), and accounts for such guarantees in accordance with FASB ASC 460-10,Guarantees.
Guarantees generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee by the debtor. A guarantee involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. UDF’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party to the instrument is represented by the contractual notional amount of the guarantee.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements – continued
UDF provided a 25% guaranty to Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”) as a credit enhancement for a borrower’s loan (the “Capital One Loan”). The Capital One Loan was secured by a first priority lien on a portion of the borrower’s project in Galveston County, Texas. UDF holds a second priority lien on that portion of the project which was subject to a first lien in favor of Capital One, and holds a first priority lien on the remainder of the project. The Capital One Loan matured, and Capital One sued UDF under UDF’s 25% guaranty. Capital One subsequently dismissed the lawsuit against UDF due to a lack of diversity jurisdiction in Federal Court. On December 27, 2013, an unrelated third party acquired the Capital One Loan and released UDF from its guaranty.
