This representation letter is provided in connection with your audit of the combined financial statements for [___________________________] (the “Company”) which comprises the combined balance sheets of [_________________________________] (the "Properties") as of December 31, 20___ and 20___, and the related combined statements of income, members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the combined financial statements, for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP).
Additionally, with respect to your review of the combined balance sheets of the Company as of [___________], 2014 and [__________], 2013, the related combined statements of income, members’ equity and cash flows for the [___] month periods then ended, we are providing this letter for the purpose of determining whether any material modifications should be made to the unaudited interim financial information for it to confirm with U.S. GAAP. We confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation of this financial information in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. An omission or misstatement that is monetarily small in amount could be considered material as a result of qualitative factors.
We confirm, to the best of our knowledge and belief, the following representations made to you during your audit as of and for the years ended December 31, 20___ and 20___ and during your reviews as of and for the [___] month periods ended [_____], 2014 and 2013.

We have disclosed to you the results of our assessment of the risk that the combined financial statements may be materially misstated as a result of fraud.

Employees who have significant roles in internal control, or
o
Others where the fraud could have a material effect on the financial statements.
•
We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity’s combined financial statements communicated by employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, or others.
•
We have no knowledge of any instances of noncompliance or suspected noncompliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing combined financial statements.
•
We have disclosed to you that there are not any actual or possible litigation, claims, and assessments whose effects should be considered when preparing the combined financial statements.
•
We have disclosed to you the identity of the entity’s related parties and all the related party relationships and transactions of which we are aware.

The carrying amounts reported in the combined balance sheets for notes approximate their fair value.

We have complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the combined financial statements in the event of noncompliance.

We have reviewed long-lived assets to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances have indicated that the carrying amount of assets might not be recoverable. There are no such impairments as of and for the years ended December 31, 20____ and 20___, or the [__] months ended [_____], 2014 and 2013.
