We have audited the accompanying Combined Historical Statement of Revenues and Certain Direct Operating Expenses for the year ended December 31, 2016 of ARIUM Metrowest and ARIUM Hunter’s Creek (collectively, the “Crow Portfolio”) and the related notes (“Combined Historical Statement”).

Management’s Responsibility for the Combined Historical Statement

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Combined Historical Statement in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the Combined Historical Statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Combined Historical Statement 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 Combined Historical Statement is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the Combined Historical Statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the Combined Historical Statement, 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 Combined Historical Statement 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 Combined Historical Statement.

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 Combined Historical Statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain direct operating expenses of the Crow Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2016, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

The accompanying Combined Historical Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of the Crow Portfolio’s revenues and expenses. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Direct Operating Expenses

The Crow Portfolio consists of ARIUM Hunter’s Creek, a 532 unit multi-family apartment community located in Orlando, Florida and ARIUM Metrowest, a 510 unit multi-family apartment community located in Orlando, Florida. These properties are collectively referred to as the “Crow Portfolio” or the “Properties”.

The Crow Portfolio was acquired to a purchase agreement between an affiliate of Bluerock Residential Holdings, L.P. (Bluerock Residential Growth REIT, Inc.’s operating partnership) and CH Realty VII – Carroll MF Orland Hunter’s Creek, LLC and CH Realty VII – Carroll MF Orlando Metrowest, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) on October 30, 2017.

The accompanying Combined Historical Statements of Revenues and Certain Direct Operating Expenses (“Combined Historical Statements”) have been prepared for the purpose of complying with Rule 3-14 of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Properties’ revenues and expenses.

The Combined Historical Statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and requires management of the Properties to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

In preparation of the accompanying Combined Historical Statements, subsequent events were evaluated for recognition and disclosure through November 6, 2017, which is the date the Combined Historical Statements were available to be issued.

3. Unaudited Interim Information

In the opinion of the Properties’ management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation (in accordance with the Basis of Presentation as described in Note 2) have been made to the accompanying unaudited amounts for the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

The Crow Portfolio units are rented to tenants under various lease agreements that are generally one year in length. All leases are accounted for as operating leases. Rental income is recognized as earned over the life of the lease agreements on a straight-line basis.

Some of the leases include provisions under which the Properties are reimbursed for certain operating costs. Revenue related to these reimbursed costs is recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred and billed to tenants to the lease agreements and are included in other rental revenue.

Other rental revenue in the Combined Historical Statements consists of charges billed to tenants for pet, administrative, application, and other fees and is recognized when earned.
