BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2017

Note 1 – Organization and Background

BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company"), a Maryland corporation, is the successor to BRT Realty Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, pursuant to the conversion on March 18, 2017, of BRT Realty Trust into BRT Apartments Corp. The conversion had no impact on the Company's business or management and was treated as a tax-free exchange under relevant Internal Revenue Service regulations.
The Company owns, operates and develops multi‑family properties and owns and operates other assets, including real estate and a real estate loan. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
Generally, the multi‑family properties are acquired with venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes 70% to 80% of the equity. At June 30, 2017, the Company owns: (a) 35 multi-family properties with 9,890 units (including 445 units at two properties in the lease up stage and 402 units at a property under construction), located in 11 states with a carrying value of $901,084,000; and (b) interests in two unconsolidated multi-family joint ventures with a carrying value of $13,925,000.
The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At June 30, 2017, the carrying value of these other real estate assets was $16,182,000, including a real estate loan of $5,650,000.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017, and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑family properties were determined to be VIEs because the voting rights of some equity investors in the applicable joint venture entity are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. In addition, substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The joint ventures that own properties in Dallas, TX and St. Louis, MO were determined not to be a VIEs but are consolidated because the Company has substantive participating rights in such entities.
With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, as (i) the Company is primarily the managing member but does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities or the Company is not the managing member and (ii) such entities are not VIEs, the Company has determined that such joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes.

Table of Contents

The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.     
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reclassified approximately $1,043,000 and $3,126,000 of tenant utility reimbursements from real estate operating expenses to rental and other revenues from real estate properties to conform with the current period presentation. This reclassification increased total revenues and expenses by $1,043,000 and $3,126,000, respectively, and had no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 ‑ Equity

Common Stock Dividend Distribution

During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not declare a dividend on its shares.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company's Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance share awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 600,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards.
Restricted Stock Units
Pursuant to the Plan, in June 2016, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "Units") to acquire up to 450,000 shares of common stock (the "Pay for Performance Program"). In March 2021, recipients of the Units are entitled to receive (i) the underlying shares if certain performance metrics are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends paid from the grant date through the vesting date with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the Units if, when, and to the extent, the related Units vest. Because the Units are not participating securities, for financial statement purposes, the shares underlying the Units are excluded in the outstanding shares reflected on the consolidated balance sheet and from the calculation of basic earnings per share. The shares are contingently issuable shares but have not been included in the diluted earnings per share as the performance and market criteria have not been met.
Expense is recognized over the five year vesting period on the Units which the Company expects to vest.

Restricted Stock
In January 2017, the Company granted 147,500 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the Plan.
As of June 30, 2017, an aggregate of 689,375 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2016 Incentive Plan and the 2012 Incentive Plan (the "Prior Plan"). No additional awards may be granted under the Prior Plan. All shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the earnings per share computation.
For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $243,000 and $221,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. For the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $1,063,000 and $639,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, $2,599,000 and $2,089,000 has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average vesting period of these shares of restricted stock is 2.6 years.
Stock Buyback
On March 11, 2016, the Board of Directors approved a repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of common stock through September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company purchased 21,304 shares of common stock at an average market price of $8.14 per share for a purchase price of approximately $171,000.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during such period. The Units are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares were exercised or converted into common shares or resulted in the issuance of common shares that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, none of the Units are included in the diluted weighted average as they did not meet the applicable performance metrics during such periods.
Basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, were 14,035,074 and 13,932,515, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, were 13,983,495 and 14,055,436, respectively.

Note 6 –Real Estate Loan

    As a result of the sale of the Company's interest in the Newark Joint Venture in February 2016, the mortgage loan owed to the Company by the venture (the "NJV Loan Receivable"), which, prior to the sale, was eliminated in consolidation, is reflected as a real estate loan on the consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2017, the Company received (i) a $13,600,000 principal paydown of the NJV Loan Receivable and (ii) $2,606,000, representing all the interest (i.e., current and deferred) due through the repayment date. In connection with this transaction, the Company released certain properties from the mortgages securing the NJV Loan Receivable. This receivable, bears interest, payable monthly at a rate of 11% per year, is secured by several properties in Newark, NJ, and matures in October 2017. At June 30, 2017, the principal balance of the NJV Loan Receivable is $5,650,000.

The Spring Valley property, which had a carrying value $6,920,000, was sold on October 26, 2016.

Note 13 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.

Junior subordinated notes: At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $15,939,000 and $16,549,000 based on a market interest rate of 6.76% and 6.37%, respectively.

Mortgages payable: At June 30, 2017, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $11,880,000 assuming market interest rates between 3.78% and 5.02% and at September 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was greater than their carrying value by approximately $10,629,000 assuming market interest rates between 3.05% and 4.25%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value assumptions.

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2017 (dollars in thousands):

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At June 30, 2017, these derivatives are included in other assets and other accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with them utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2017, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivatives valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives, designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company's cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016. The Company estimates an additional $126,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The agreement between the Company and its derivative counterparties provides that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the derivative in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreement, was $17,000. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had been in breach of these agreements at June 30, 2017, it could have been required to settle its obligations thereunder at its termination value of $17,000.


Note 15 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The ASU clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist companies and other reporting organizations with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or business combinations. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected early adoption effective for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. The Company's net income was favorably impacted as a result of the capitalization of acquisition costs - in prior periods, property acquisition costs were expensed during the period incurred. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, capitalized acquisition costs were $1,561,000 and $2,761,000, respectively, without giving effect to non-controlling interests.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of the standard is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance in the quarter December 31, 2016 and its adoption did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
    
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods thereafter, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting

21

Table of Contents

period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2018.

 
Note 16 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2017 that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

Overview

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is primarily focused on the ownership, operation and development of multi‑family properties. These activities are primarily conducted through joint ventures in which we typically have an 70% to 80% interest in the entity owning the property. At June 30, 2017, we own 35 multi‑family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 9,890 units (including 445 units at two properties in lease up stage and 402 units at a property under construction). At June 30, 2017, the net carrying value of the multi-family assets was $901.1 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2017: (i) the average monthly occupancy at our stabilized properties was 94.0% compared to 94.1% in the corresponding quarter of the prior year; and (ii) the average rental rate per occupied unit at stabilized properties increased 9.6% to $936 from $854 for the corresponding quarter in 2016.

We have investments in two unconsolidated multi-family joint ventures, one of which is a property under construction. At June 30, 2017, the carrying value of these investments is $13.9 million.
We also own and operate various other real estate assets. At June 30, 2017, the carrying value of these other real estate assets is $16.2 million, including a real estate loan of $5.7 million.
As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented and excludes properties that were in development or lease up during such periods. At June 30, 2017 stabilized properties represent 32 of our 35 properties - excluded are two properties in lease up and a property under construction. Our fiscal year ends on September 30 and unless otherwise indicated, all references to a quarter or year refer to the applicable fiscal quarter or year.
Conversion to a Maryland Corporation

On March 18, 2017, we converted from a Massachusetts business trust  to a Maryland corporation (the "Conversion"). The Conversion had no impact on our business or management of our company and was treated as a tax-free exchange under relevant Internal Revenue Service regulations. Shares of beneficial  interest were automatically converted to shares of common stock at the time of the Conversion.

Except as otherwise specified, all references in this Form 10-Q to “BRT,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer (i) from and after the time of the Conversion, to BRT Apartments Corp. and its subsidiaries and (ii) prior to the Conversion, to our predecessor, BRT Realty Trust and its subsidiaries. Except as otherwise specified, all references in this Form 10-Q to “common stock” or “shares” refer (i) from and after the time of the Conversion, to common stock and (ii) prior to the Conversion, shares of beneficial interest.

Acquisitions During the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017

On April 4, 2017, we acquired a 174 unit multi-family property located in Creve Coeur, MO for $39.6 million, including $29.0 million of short term adjustable rate mortgage debt obtained in connection with the acquisition. This property is currently in lease up and at June 30, 2017 approximately 71% of the units were leased. We anticipate that the property will be stabilized by November 2017 and estimate that at such time it will generate on a quarterly basis $774,000 of rental revenue, $695,000 of real estate operating expense, $438,000 of interest expense and $399,000 of depreciation expense. We intend to refinance the mortgage debt on this property prior to its maturity in July 2018 though no assurance can be given that we will be successful in this regard.

On June 2, 2017, we acquired a 44 acre land parcel for $5.2 million, on which we anticipate constructing 402 multi-family units. We obtained $47.5 million in mortgage construction financing for this project and anticipate that units will be available for lease beginning in November 2018 through November 2019 as buildings are completed. We expect this property to reach stabilization in January 2020.

On June 29, 2017, we acquired a 509 unit multi-family property located in Farmers Branch, TX for $85.7 million, including $55.2 million of mortgage debt obtained in connection with the acquisition. We estimate that on a quarterly basis this property will generate $2.2 million of rental revenue, $955,000 of real estate operating expense, $723,000 of interest expense and $1.0 million of depreciation expense.

Subsequent Events

In July 2017, we sold three properties in Humble and Pasadena, TX for $39 million. We estimate that in the fourth quarter of 2017, we will recognize a gain on the sale of these properties of approximately $16.7 million, of which $7.4 million will be allocated to non-controlling interests. In connection with the sale we also incurred approximately $662,000 of mortgage prepayment costs, of which $290,000 will be allocated to non-controlling interests. In the quarter ended March 31, 2017, these properties generated approximately $1.4 million of rental revenue, $784,000 of operating expenses, $222,000 of interest expense and $200,000 of depreciation expense.

Rental and other revenues from real estate properties.

The increase is due primarily to:
•
$5.4 million from eight properties acquired during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, two of which were acquired in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and contributed $686,000 of rental revenue,
•
$1.6 million from the inclusion, for the entire three months ended June 30, 2017, of three properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year,
•
$586,000 from same store properties due primarily to a net increase in rental rates from several multi-family properties, and
.
Offsetting this increase was a decrease of $4.7 million of rental revenue from the eight properties sold from April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

The increase is due primarily to:
•
$2.3 million from eight properties acquired during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, two of which were acquired in the current quarter and contributed $321,000 of real estate operating expense,
•
$890,000 from the inclusion, for the entire three months ended June 30, 2017, of three properties acquired in the corresponding period of the prior year,

$345,000 due to the inclusion, for the entire three months ended March 31, 2017, of the mortgage interest on three properties acquired during the corresponding period of the prior year.

Offsetting the increase is a decrease of $403,000 relating to the mortgage debt on eight properties sold from April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.

Capitalized interest for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $64,000 and $10,000 respectively.

    Property acquisition costs. Due to a change in an accounting standard effective October 1, 2016, these costs are now capitalized as a part of the basis of an asset acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we capitalized $1.6 million of such costs.

General and administrative expense The decline is due primarily to the inclusion, in the three months ended June 30, 2016, of approximately $180,000 of professional and other fees, a significant portion of which related to the Conversion. This decline was offset by increased compensation costs.

Table of Contents

Depreciation.
The increase is due primarily to:
•
$2.5 million from eight properties acquired during the twelve months ended June 30, 2017, two of which were acquired in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and contributed $300,000 of depreciation expense, and
•
$399,000 from the inclusion, for the entire three months ended June 30, 2017, of three properties acquired during the corresponding period of the prior year.

Offsetting the increase is a decrease of:

•
$410,000 from same store properties resulting from purchase price allocation adjustments in the prior period, and
•
$371,000 from eight properties sold from April 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017.


Other Income and Expenses

Equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures. Approximately $ 220,000 of the loss is due to increased depreciation charges related to a purchase price allocation adjustment at a multi-family property and $110,000 is due to expenses incurred by a joint venture that had ceased operations.

Gain on sale of real estate. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we sold two multi-family properties for an aggregate of $72.8 million and recognized an aggregate gain of $10.3 million, of which $2.3 million was allocated to the non-controlling interests. There were no sales in the current three month period.
Gain on sale of partnership interest. During the three months June 30, 2016, we sold our interest in a joint venture that owned a property and recognized a gain of $386,000 on the sale. There was no comparable sale in the current period.
Net loss (income) attributable to non-controlling interest. This category represents our joint venture partners share of income including gains on sale of real estate. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we sold two multi-family properties and allocated $2.3 million of the gain to our partner. There were no sales in the current period.

Rental and other revenues from real estate properties.

The increase is due primarily to:
•
$11.1 million from the inclusion, for the entire nine months ended June 30, 2017, of seven properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year,

26

•
$8.5 million from three properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2016,
•
$4.1 million from five properties acquired in the nine months ended June 30, 2017, and
•
$1.8 million from same store properties due primarily to a net increase in rental rates at several multi-family properties.


Offsetting this increase are decreases of:
•
$13.0 million of rental revenue from the six properties sold during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, and
•
$6.3 million from four properties sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2017.
    
Other Income.

The decrease is due primarily to the inclusion, in the corresponding period of the prior year, of $1.9 million of interest that had not been recognized for several years, due to recoverability concerns, on the $19.5 million loan to the Newark Joint Venture.

Real estate operating expenses.

The increase is due primarily to:
•
$6.0 million from the inclusion, for the entire nine months ended June 30, 2017, of seven properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year,
•
$3.9 million from three properties acquired in the three months ended September 30, 2016,
•
$1.5 million from five properties acquired during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and
•
$1.1 million from several same store properties, including approximately $690,000 due to increased real estate taxes and approximately $245,000 due to increased repair and maintenance expense.

Offsetting the increase is a net decrease of:
•
$7.3 million relating to six properties sold during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016, and
•
$3.1 million from four properties sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2017.

Interest expense.

The increase is due primarily to:
•
$2.9 million from the inclusion, for the full nine months ended June 30, 2017, of the mortgages on seven properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year,

27

Table of Contents

•
$2.6 million due to mortgages on three properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2016, and
•
$1.6 from the mortgages on five properties acquired during the nine months ended June 30, 2017.


Offsetting the increase are decreases of:
•
$2.9 million relating to the mortgage debt on six properties sold during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016,
•
$1.3 million from mortgages on four properties sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2017, and
•
$387,000 due to the decrease in the interest rate paid on our junior subordinated debt.

Capitalized interest for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was $249,000 and $248,000, respectively.

Advisor’s fees, related party. The 2016 period reflects the amounts paid pursuant to the advisory agreement during the three months ended December 31, 2015, at which time such agreement terminated.

Property acquisition costs. Due to a change in an accounting standard effective October 1, 2016, these costs are now capitalized as a part of the basis of an asset acquisition. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we capitalized $2.8 million of such costs.

General and administrative. The increase is due primarily to:
•
$561,000 from increased compensation expense, including $374,000 related to the non-cash amortization of restricted stock and restricted stock unit expense and $200,000 due to higher salaries,
•
$316,000 from the inclusion of the fees for services previously provided pursuant to the advisory agreement and
•
$150,000 of various other expenses, including amounts paid pursuant to our shared services agreement.

Offsetting the increase was a $135,00 decrease in professional fees due to the inclusion in the nine months ended June 30, 2016, of professional fees, a significant portion of which relate to the Conversion.

Depreciation. The increase is due primarily to:
•
$4.3 million from three properties acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2106,
•
$3.6 million from the inclusion for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 of seven properties that were only owned for a portion of the corresponding period in the prior year,
•
$1.8 million from five properties acquired during the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and
•
$690,000 from same store sales due primarily to purchase price allocation adjustments.

Offsetting the increases are decreases of:

•
$2.2 million of depreciation from the six properties sold during the twelve months ended September 30, 2016 and
•
$2.0 million from four properties sold during the nine months ended June 30, 2017.

Other Income and Expenses

Gain on sale of real estate. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017, we sold four multi family properties and a cooperative apartment unit for an aggregate of $130.7 million and recognized an aggregate gain of $35.8 million, of which $17.1 million was allocated to the non-controlling interests. The corresponding period of the prior year includes the sale of four multi-family properties and a coop apartment unit which were sold for a gain of $35.1 million, of which $14.6 million was allocated to the non controlling interest.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. During the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred a $799,000 and $2.7 million of mortgage prepayment charges, respectively, in connection with property sales.

28

Table of Contents

Provision for taxes. This amount reflects (i) $365,000 of Federal alternative minimum tax resulting from the use of our loss carry-forwards to offset 2016 Federal taxable income and (ii) $1.1 million of state taxes from income recognized at the state level, primarily from 2016 property sales. Loss carry forwards that are available at the federal level differ from and may not be available at the individual state level.
Income from discontinued operations. In February 2016, we sold our interest in the Newark Joint Venture and reclassified the operations of the venture to discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2016.
Net (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interest. The amount is primarily due to the allocation to our joint venture partners of their share of the gain on sale of four multi-family properties in the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and four multi-family properties in the corresponding period in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We require funds to acquire properties, repay borrowings and pay operating expenses. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of, and distributions from, our multi-family properties, our available cash (including restricted cash), mortgage debt financing and our share of the net proceeds from the sale of multi-family properties. At June 30, 2017 and August 1, 2017, our available cash, excluding restricted cash intended for capital improvements at 15 multi-family properties, is approximately $9.9 million and $23.4 million, respectively.
We anticipate that operating expenses and debt service payable through 2018 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of these properties and, if needed, supplemental financings. The mortgage debt with respect to the multi-family properties generally is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary holding our interest in the applicable joint venture. Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties is limited by our available cash and the availability of mortgage debt.
We anticipate that the construction and other costs associated with the West Nashville, TN construction project will be funded by capital previously contributed by us and our joint venture partner and in-place construction financing of up to $47.4 million. As of June 30, 2017, there have been no draws against this construction loan.
We intend to refinance the adjustable rate mortgages in aggregate principal amount of $56.3 million at our N. Charleston, SC and Creve Coeur, MO properties with longer term fixed rate financing once these properties has been stabilized; however no assurance can be given that financing will be available at such time or, if available, that it will be on terms acceptable to us.
Statements of Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9.8 million and $37.7 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to funds generated from the operation of our properties. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that proves us with resources to pay operating expenses and debt service.     The increase in cash flow used in investing activities in 2017 is due primarily to the decrease in proceeds from property and joint venture sales and an increase in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The increase was offset by the paydown of the loan to the Newark Joint Venture and a reduction in purchases and capitalized costs.

29

Table of Contents

The decrease in cash flow provided by financing activities in 2017 is due primarily to reduced proceeds from mortgage debt due to fewer acquisitions in the current nine months.
Cash Distribution Policy
We have not paid cash dividends since 2010. At December 31, 2016, our net operating loss carry-forward was $15.8 million. Accordingly, we are not currently required by the Internal Revenue Code to pay a dividend to maintain our REIT status.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations

We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.
We compute FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write‑downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non‑real estate assets.We compute AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight-line rent accruals and deferrals, amortization of restricted stock compensation and amortization of deferred financing costs. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.
We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.
FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than five mortgages, three of which are subject to interest rate swap agreements. With respect to the remaining two variable rate mortgages, an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would reduce annual net income by $563,000 and a decrease of 100 basis points would increase annual net income by $563,000.
    
As of June 30, 2017, we had three interest rate swap agreements outstanding. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At June 30, 2017, if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and net unrealized gain on the derivative instruments would have increased by approximately $3.4 million and (ii) if there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and net unrealized gain on derivative instrument would have decreased by approximately $3.7 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.

Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would increase our related interest expense by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would decrease our related interest expense by $374,000 annually.

As of June 30, 2017, based on the number of residential units in each state, 33% of our properties are located in Texas, 10% in Florida, 10% in Georgia, 8% in Alabama, 8% in Mississippi, 8% in Missouri, 7% in South Carolina and the remaining 23% in five other states; we are therefore subject to risks associated with the economies in these areas.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017 are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
