An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in tiie 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements refared to above present feirly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ashley Place Development III, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations, changes in partners' equity (deficit), and cash flows for tiie years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Independent Auditors' Report on Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other Matters

Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with Government Auditing Standards

To the Partners Ashley Place Development III Limited Partnership Denham Springs, Louisiana

We have audited the financial statements of Ashley Place Development HI, Limited Partnership as of and for the year ended December 31. 2009, and have issued our report thereon dated April 30,2010. We conducted our audit in accordance with U.S. generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditmg Standards^ issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States.

Intemal Control Over Financial Reporting

In planning and performing our audit, we considered Ashley Place HI LP*s intemal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on tiie effectiveness of Ashley Place III LP*s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of Ashley Place III LP*s internal control over financial reporting.

A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control docs not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned fimctions, to prevent, or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weaJotess is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in intemal control, such that there is reasonable possibility that a material misstatement ofthe entity's financial statements will not be prevented, 01 detected and corrected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of internal control over financial reporting was for the limited puipose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting that we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above.

Compliance and Other Matters

As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Ashley Place Development Ett, Limited Partnership's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material efifect on the detennination of financial statement amoimts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

This report is intended solely for the information and use ofthe Partners and the management of Ashley Place Development HI. Limited Partnership, and the Louisiana Legislative Auditor, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
