EX-99.10 7 v023127_ex99-10.txt Exhibit 99.10 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Partners of Ellinwood Heights Apartments L.P. I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ellinwood Heights Apartments L.P. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of operations, partners' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I conducted my audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The partnership has determined that it is not required to have, nor I was engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit 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 partnership's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ellinwood Heights Apartments L.P. as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit) and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Earl A.
