BERKSHIRE
INCOME REALTY, INC
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

|
ORGANIZATION
AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
Berkshire
Income Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on
July 19, 2002 and 100 Class B common shares were issued upon
organization. The Company is in the business of acquiring, owning,
operating and rehabilitating multifamily apartment communities. As of
September 30, 2009, the Company owned, or had an interest in, 26 multifamily
apartment communities consisting of a total 6,781 apartment units.
Discussion
of acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
On
February 24, 2009, the Company, through a newly formed subsidiary, BIR Glo,
L.L.C. (“BIR Glo”), entered into the BIR Holland JV, LLC joint venture agreement
(“JV BIR/Holland”) with Holland Glo, LLC (“Holland Glo”), an unrelated third
party, to acquire 89.955% of the ownership interests in a 201 unit multifamily
mid-rise apartment community in Los Angeles, California. The purchase
is consistent with the Company’s desire to acquire well located multifamily
apartment communities at attractive prices. The purchase price of
$47,500,000 and related closing costs consisted of a capital commitment of
$12,580,314 plus the assumption of the outstanding mortgage debt secured by the
property. The Company has committed $12.21 million to JV BIR/Holland
by providing two irrevocable letters of credit for the benefit of JV BIR/Holland
in lieu of funding its capital obligations at closing. The letters of
credit are backed by cash which is classified as restricted cash on the balance
sheet at September 30, 2009. The purchase was subject to normal
operating pro rations. As of June 30, 2009, the purchase price
allocation was final and no further adjustment is contemplated.
Under the
terms of the limited liability company agreement governing JV BIR/Holland, BIR
Glo owns a 90% interest and Holland Glo owns a 10% interest in JV
BIR/Holland. Affiliates of Holland Glo are entitled to perform
property management services and receive fees in payment thereof. The
Company evaluated its investment in JV BIR/Holland and concluded that the
investment was not a Variable Interest Entity under ASC 810-10-05 and therefore
accounts for the investment under ASC 810-10-50 based on its controlling
interest in the venture.
Because
the sellers equity had been reduced to zero as a result of the agreed to
valuation of the real estate, there was no transfer of consideration for the
acquisition.
ASC
805-10-05, as defined below, requires that identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition
date. As of the acquisition date, the amounts recognized for each
major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as
follows:

Discussion
of dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
The
Company did not dispose of any properties during the nine month period ended
September 30, 2009.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In July
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the FASB
Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 105-10 (“ASC 105-10” or the
“Codification”), which reorganizes the accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (“GAAP”) hierarchy. ASC 105-10 is
intended to improve financial reporting by providing a consistent framework for
determining what accounting principles should be used in preparing GAAP
financial statements. Other than resolving certain minor
inconsistencies in current GAAP, the Codification is not supposed to change
GAAP, but is intended to make it easier to find and research GAAP applicable to
a particular transaction or specific accounting issue. The
Codification is a new structure which takes accounting pronouncements and
organizes them by approximately 90 accounting topics. ASC 105-10 is
effective for interim periods ending after September 15, 2009. The
Company’s adoption of ASC 105-10 did not have any impact on its financial
position and results of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued ASC 805-10-05, which is intended to improve
reporting by creating greater consistency in the accounting and financial
reporting of business combinations. ASC 805-10-05 establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquiring entity shall recognize and
measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired,
liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquired entity and
goodwill acquired in a business combination. This guidance is
effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or
after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after
December 15, 2008. The Company adopted ASC 805-10-05 as of
January 1, 2009, which resulted in a $1,183,299 charge to operations for
transaction costs associated with the acquisition of Glo
Apartments.
In May
2008, the FASB issued ASC 815-10-15, which amends and expands the disclosure
requirements of ASC 815-10-05 with the intent to provide users of financial
statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses
derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under ASC 815-10-05 and its related interpretations, and (c)
how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. ASC 815-10-15
requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using
derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and
losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related
contingent features in derivative instruments. ASC 815-10-05, as
amended and interpreted, establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, and for hedging activities. The Company has assessed
the impact of ASC 815-10-15 and determined that that the adoption of ASC
815-10-15 did not have a material impact on the financial position or operating
results of the Company.
Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 810-10-65, which establishes and
expands accounting and reporting standards for minority interests (which are
recharacterized as noncontrolling interests) in a subsidiary and the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. As a result of the Company’s
adoption of this standard, amounts previously reported as minority interests in
properties and minority interests in Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P. (the
“Operating Partnership”) on our balance sheets are now presented as
noncontrolling interests in properties and noncontrolling interests in Operating
Partnership within equity. There has been no change in the
measurement of this line item from amounts previously reported.
Also
effective with the adoption of ASC 810-10-65, previously reported minority
interests have been recharacterized on the accompanying statement of operations
to noncontrolling interests and placed below net loss before arriving at net
loss attributable to Parent Company. In accordance with the guidance
of ASC 810-10-65, the Company allocated losses to the noncontrolling interest in
Operating Partnership of $27,230,771, which represents their share of
losses. Historically, these losses were allocated to the common
shareholders.
In April
2009, the FASB issued ASC 820-10-65, which provides additional guidance for
estimating fair value in accordance with ASC 820-10-05, when the volume and
level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and
for identifying transactions that are not orderly. ASC 820-10-65 is
effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15,
2009. The Company elected early adoption of ASC 820-10-65 as of January 1,
2009. The Company has assessed the impact of ASC 820-10-65 and has
determined that the adoption of ASC 820-10-65 did not have a material impact on
the financial position or operating results of the Company.
In April
2009, the FASB issued ASC 825-10-65 which requires disclosures about fair value
of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded
companies as well as in annual financial statements. Effective
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted ASC 825-10-65, which did not have a
material impact on the financial position or operating results of the
Company.
In May
2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10-05 which.is intended to establish general
standards of accounting for disclosure of events that occur after the balance
sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date,
that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were
issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855-10-05 is effective for
interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of
ASC 855-10-05 did not have a material impact on its financial position and
results of operations.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167 (“SFAS No. 167”), which
is intended to improve financial reporting by enterprises involved with variable
interest entities by replacing the quantitative-based risk and rewards
calculation of determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial
interest in a variable interest entity with a primarily qualitative-based
approach. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on
or after November 15, 2009. Early application of SFAS No. 167 is
prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact
that the adoption of SFAS No. 167 may have on its financial position, results of
operations or disclosure in its financial statements.

The
Company accounts for its acquisitions of investments in real estate in
accordance with ASC 805-10-05, which requires the fair value of the real estate
acquired to be allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land,
building, furniture, fixtures and equipment and identified intangible assets and
liabilities, consisting of the value of the above-market and below-market
leases, the value of in-place leases and the value of other tenant
relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The value of
in-place leases and tenant relationships are amortized over the specific
expiration dates of the in-place leases over a period of 12 months and the
tenant relationships are based on the straight-line method of amortization over
a 24-month period.
The
Company evaluated the carrying value of its multifamily apartment communities

INVESTMENT
IN MULTIFAMILY VENTURE LIMITED
PARTNERSHIP
|
On August
12, 2005, the Company, together with affiliates and other unaffiliated parties,
entered into a subscription agreement to invest in the Berkshire Multifamily
Value Fund, L.P. (“BVF”), an affiliate of Berkshire Property Advisors, L.L.C.
(“Berkshire Advisor” or the “Advisor”). Under the terms of the
agreement and the related limited partnership agreement, the Company and its
affiliates agreed to invest up to $25,000,000, or approximately 7%, of the total
capital of the partnership. The Company’s final commitment under the
subscription agreement with BVF totals $23,400,000. BVF’s investment
strategy is to acquire middle-market properties where there is an opportunity to
add value through repositioning or rehabilitation.
The
managing partner of BVF is an affiliate of the Company. The Company
has evaluated its investment in BVF and has concluded that its investment in BVF
is a Variable Interest Entity and subject to the requirements of ASC
810-10-05. The Company is not required to consolidate the activity of
BVF as the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the
venture as defined in ASC 810-10-05.
In
relation to its investment in BVF, the Company has elected to adopt a
three-month lag period in which it recognizes its share of the equity earnings
of BVF in arrears. The lag period is allowed under the provisions of
ASC 325-20-05, and is necessary in order for the Company to consistently meet
its regulatory filing deadlines. As of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the Company has accounted for its share of the equity in BVF
operating activity through June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008,
respectively.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company has invested 100% of its total committed capital
amount of $23,400,000 in BVF for an ownership interest of approximately
7%.
The
summarized statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ capital of BVF is as

This
amount represents the difference between the Company’s investment in BVF
and its share of the underlying equity in the net assets of BVF (adjusted
to conform with GAAP) including the timing of the lag period, as described
above. At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the
differential related mainly to the contribution of capital made by the
Operating Partnership, in the amount of $0 and $1,627,674, to BVF during
the third quarter of 2009 and fourth quarter of 2008,
respectively. Additionally, $583,240 represents the Company’s
share of syndication costs incurred by BVF that the Company was not
required to fund via a separate capital
call.
|
The
Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in BVF for impairment
periodically and records impairment charges when events or circumstances change
indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has
occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary. No such impairment
charges have been recognized as of September 30, 2009.

4. INVESTMENT
IN MEZZANINE LOAN LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY
On June
19, 2008, the Company through its wholly owned subsidiary BIR Blackrock, L.L.C.,
entered into a subscription agreement to invest in the Leggat McCall Hingham
Mezzanine Loan LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Mezzanine
Loan LLC”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company agreed to
invest up to $1,425,000, or approximately 41%, of the total capital of the
investment in order to subscribe for 14.25 units of the Mezzanine Loan
LLC. The Company has funded $855,000, or 60%, of its commitment as of
September 30, 2009.
The
Company has evaluated its investment in the Mezzanine Loan LLC and concluded
that the investment, although subject to the requirements of ASC 810-10-05, will
not require the Company to consolidate the activity of the Mezzanine Loan LLC as
the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the venture
as defined in ASC 810-10-05. The Company accounted for its investment
in the Mezzanine Loan LLC under the equity method of accounting in accordance
with the provisions of ASC 325-20-05.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized income related
to its investment in the Mezzanine Loan LLC. The income represents
interest accrued on the Company’s investment and totaled
$127,899. The income increased the Company’s carrying value of the
investment prior to the write-down.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized impairment
charges which represented the other-than-temporary decline in the fair value
below the carrying value of the Company’s investment in the Mezzanine Loan
LLC. In accordance with ASC 325-20-05, a loss in value of an
investment under the equity method of accounting, which is other than a
temporary decline, must be recognized. Unlike ASC 360-10-05,
potential impairments under ASC 325-20-05 result from fair values derived based
on discounted cash flows and other valuation techniques which are more sensitive
to current market conditions. As a result, the Company recognized
non-cash impairment charges of $1,075,192 on its investment in the Mezzanine
Loan LLC. The carrying value of the Company’s investment in the
Mezzanine Loan LLC was $0 at September 30, 2009.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2009, the developer of the property securing the
Mezzanine Loan LLC’s investment suffered financial problems related to other
projects it is working on. As a result of these issues, the managing
member of the Mezzanine Loan LLC (the “Managing Member”) is currently in
negotiations with another developer to take over the project. The
Managing Member is also attempting to extend the maturity date of the underlying
first mortgage on the real estate in conjunction with the hiring of the new
developer. As of September 30, 2009 and as of the date of this
filing, negotiations are still underway and resolution is expected in the fourth
quarter of 2009. Because of the uncertainty at June 30, 2009,
management believed it appropriate to write off the remainder of its investment
at that time. Activities during the three months ended September 30,
2009 were also written off as of September 30, 2009. In the event the
negotiations are successful, the Company will likely be required to fund the
remainder of its capital obligations, $570,000, in order to participate in any
future profits of the investment as well as to have the chance to recover some
or all of its original investment.
5. MORTGAGE
NOTES PAYABLE
On
January 25, 2008, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary BIR Arboretum
Development L.L.C., executed a fixed rate first mortgage note for $13,650,000,
which is collateralized by the related property. The proceeds of the
loan are being used to build a multifamily apartment community on a parcel of
land adjacent to the Arboretum Place Apartments, a multifamily apartment
community also owned by the Company. The interest rate on the note is
fixed at 6.20% and has a term of seven years, including a two year construction
period and five years of permanent financing. The loan is a mortgage
note and was granted with equity requirements that provide for the Company to
make an equity investment of $5,458,671, inclusive of land equity of $2,150,000,
in the project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the
Company received proceeds pursuant to the loan of $3,420,605. The
Company expects to draw the remainder of the construction loan during the fourth
quarter of 2009.
On
January 30, 2009, the Company closed on $5,181,000 of fixed rate supplemental
mortgage debt on the Berkshires of Columbia property. The loan is a
non-recourse third mortgage note secured by the property with a fixed interest
rate of 6.37%. The loan matures on October 1, 2014.
On
February 24, 2009, the Company, through its joint venture, BIR Holland JV LLC,
in connection with the acquisition of Glo Apartments, assumed a mortgage note
payable with outstanding balances of $47,500,000, which is collateralized by the
related property. The note has a variable interest
rate. As of September 30, 2009, the interest rate is
1.66%. In accordance with ASC 805-10-05, the Company recorded this
mortgage at fair value, which was determined by calculating the present value of
the future payments at current interest rates. The fair market value
at the acquisition date for the debt assumed on Glo Apartments was
$42,203,273. The mortgage note originally required two principal
reductions during 2009 and 2010 in the amount of $9,500,000 and $2,710,000,
respectively. On July 27, 2009, Fannie Mae granted a six-month
extension for the amount originally due in 2009 of $9,500,000 to March 15,
2010. These principal reduction payments due in 2010 are backed by
cash secured irrevocable letters of credit of corresponding
amounts. The cash is reflected as restricted cash on the balance
sheet as of September 30, 2009.
On
February 26, 2009, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Laurel
Woods Limited Partnership, executed a non-recourse second mortgage note on the
Laurel Woods Apartment for $1,900,000, which is secured by the related
property. The note has a fixed interest rate of 7.14% and matures on
October 1, 2015.
The
Company determines the fair value of the mortgage notes payable based on the
discounted future cash flows at a discount rate that approximates the Company’s
current effective borrowing rate for comparable loans. For purposes of
determining fair value the Company groups its debt by similar maturity date for
purposes of obtaining comparable loan information in order to determine fair
values. In addition, the Company also considers the loan-to-value
percentage of individual loans to determine if further stratification of the
loans is appropriate in the valuation model. If the
loan-to-value percentage for any particular loan is in excess of the majority of
the debt pool, debt in excess of 80% loan-to-value will be considered similar to
mezzanine debt and valued using a greater interest spread than the average debt
pool. Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the
fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximates $491,184,000 and
$416,730,000 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively.
6. REVOLVING
CREDIT FACILITY – AFFILIATE
The
Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility commitment with an affiliate
of the Company. The credit facility is subject to a 60-day notice of
termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the
commitment.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company borrowed $0 and
$15,000,000, respectively, under the facility related to the acquisition
activities of the Company and repaid advances of $0 and $5,000,000 during the
same periods. There were no borrowings outstanding as of September
30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 under the facility. The Company
incurred interest and fees of $0 and $51,615 related to the facility during the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
7. EQUITY
On March
25, 2003, the Board declared a dividend at an annual rate of 9%, on the stated
liquidation preference of $25 per share of the outstanding Preferred Shares
which is payable quarterly in arrears, on February 15, May 15, August 15, and
November 15 of each year to shareholders of record in the amount of $0.5625 per

Class B stockholders totaled $0 and $13,000,000, respectively.
The
Company’s policy to provide for common distributions is based on available cash
and Board approval.
8. EARNINGS
PER SHARE
Net
income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, is computed as net income
(loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, basic and
diluted.

9. COMMITMENTS
AND CONTINGENCIES
The
Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its
business, such as those relating to tenant issues. All such
proceedings taken together are not expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Company. While the resolution of these matters cannot be
predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such
legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.
The
Company entered into two irrevocable letters of credit arrangements with a bank
in relation to the JV BIR/Holland transaction. The irrevocable
letters of credit were a requirement of the lender, who issued the debt secured
by the property substantially owned by JV BIR/Holland, in order for the new
ownership structure contemplated by the transaction to move
forward. The irrevocable letters of credit are in place as a
guarantee for two separate principal reduction payments of $9,500,000 originally
due in 2009 and $2,710,000 due in 2010. On July 27, 2009, Fannie Mae
granted a six-month extension for the amount due in 2009 of $9,500,000 to March
15, 2010. The letters of credit are backed by cash segregated in
accounts maintained at the bank. The cash is reflected as restricted
cash on the balance sheet of the Company as of September 30, 2009.
The
Company entered into an irrevocable letter of credit arrangement with a bank in
relation to an appeal of a judgment rendered by a court pursuant to an ongoing
lawsuit. The irrevocable letter of credit backed an appeal bond in
the amount of $800,000 which was in place as a guarantee of payment of the
outstanding damages awarded by the lower court. In July 2009, the
court ruled against the Company on its appeal and upheld the lower court
judgment. The Company used operating cash to settle the judgment of
$774,292 and legal fees, costs and interest of approximately
$163,700. The Company cancelled the letter of credit at which time
the segregated cash on deposit with the bank was released and returned to
operating cash.
10. DERIVATIVE
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC
815-10-15 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of ASC 815-10-05 with
the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced
understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how
derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under ASC
815-10-05 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments
and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. ASC 815-10-15 requires qualitative
disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative
disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative
instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in
derivative instruments. ASC 815-10-05, as amended and interpreted,
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. As required by ASC 815-10-05, derivatives are
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for
changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the
derivative and the resulting designation. Derivatives used to hedge
the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm
commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are
considered fair value hedges. Derivatives used to hedge the exposure
to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted
transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.
For
derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in
the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in other comprehensive
income (outside of earnings) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the
hedged transaction affects earnings, and the ineffective portion of changes in
the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in
earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness is measured by comparing the changes
in fair value or cash flows of the derivative hedging instrument with the
changes in fair value or cash flows of the designated hedged item or
transaction. For derivatives not designated as hedges, changes in
fair value are recognized in earnings.
We do not
use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. When viewed in
conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are
designed to hedge, we have not sustained a material loss from these
hedges. We have utilized interest rate caps to add stability to
interest expense, to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and as
required by our lenders when entering into variable interest mortgage
debt. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the
receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above a certain level in
exchange for an up front premium.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we acquired an interest rate cap
through our investment in JV BIR/Holland. The derivative instrument
was obtained as a requirement by the lender under the terms of the financing and
limits increases in interest costs of the variable rate debt. The
Company assessed the fair value of the derivative instrument, which reflects the
estimated amount the Company would receive, or pay, for the same instrument in a
current exchange at the reporting date. The valuation considers,
among other things, interest rates at the time of the valuation, credit
worthiness and risk of non performance of the counterparties considered in the
valuation transaction. The resulting fair value of the derivative
interest rate cap contract was deemed to be immaterial and no adjustment was
made to reflect the fair value of the derivative instrument at September 30,
2009.

the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Expense
reimbursements due to affiliates of $5,499,922 and $2,920,573 are included in

“Due to affiliates, net” at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent
intercompany development fees and related party reimbursements.
The
Company pays property management fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for
property management services. The fees are payable at a rate of 4% of
gross income.
The
Company pays asset management fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for asset
management services. These fees are payable quarterly, in arrears,
and may be paid only after all distributions currently payable on the Company’s
Preferred Shares have been paid. Effective April 4, 2003, under the
advisory services agreement, the Company will pay Berkshire Advisor an annual
asset management fee equal to 0.40%, up to a maximum of $1,600,000 in any
calendar year, as per an amendment to the management agreement, of the purchase
price of real estate properties owned by the Company, as adjusted from time to
time to reflect the then current fair market value of the
properties. The purchase price is defined as the capitalized basis of
an asset under GAAP, including renovation or new construction costs, or other
items paid or received that would be considered an adjustment to
basis. Annual asset management fees earned by the affiliate in excess
of the $1,600,000 maximum payable by the Company represent fees incurred and
paid by the minority partners in the properties. The Company also
reimburses affiliates for certain expenses incurred in connection with the
operation of the properties, including administrative expenses and salary
reimbursements.
The
Company pays acquisition fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for
acquisition services. These fees are payable upon the closing of an
acquisition of real property. The fee is equal to 1% of the purchase
price of any new property acquired directly or indirectly by the
Company. The purchase price is defined as the capitalized basis of an
asset under GAAP, including renovations or new construction costs, or other
items paid or received that would be considered an adjustment to
basis. The purchase price does not include acquisition fees and
capital costs of a recurring nature. The Company paid a fee on the
acquisition of the Glo Apartments. Pursuant to the Company’s adoption
of ASC 805-10-05 as of January 1, 2009, the acquisition fee was charged to
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The
Company pays a construction management fee to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor,
for services related to the management and oversight of renovation and
rehabilitation projects at its properties. The Company paid or
accrued $346,690 and $360,428 in construction management fees for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fees are
capitalized as part of the project cost in the year they are
incurred.
The
Company pays development fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Residential
Development, for property development services. As of September 30,
2009, the Company has completed the development of the Arboretum Land
development project and has incurred fees totaling $202,500 in the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. The Company has incurred $381,000 of
development fees on the same project in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2008. The fees, all of which were related to the development
phase, were based on the project’s development/construction costs. As
of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $202,500 and $0, remained payable
related to the project respectively.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company borrowed $0 and
$15,000,000, respectively, related to the acquisition activities of the Company
and repaid advances of $0 and $5,000,000, respectively, during the same
periods. There were no borrowings outstanding as of September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008 under the facility. The Company incurred
interest and fees of $0 and $51,615 related to the facility during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
12. LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
The
Company was party to a legal proceeding initiated by a seller/developer from
whom the Company acquired a property in 2005. The dispute involved
the interpretation of certain provisions of the purchase and sales agreement
related to post acquisition construction activities. Specifically,
the purchase and sales agreement provided that if certain conditions were met,
the seller/developer would develop a vacant parcel of land contiguous to the
acquired property with 18 new residential apartment units (the “New Units”) for
the benefit of the Company at an agreed-upon price. The purchase and
sales agreement also provided the opportunity for the seller/developer to build
a limited number of garages (the “Garages”) for the existing apartment units for
the benefit of the Company at an agreed-upon price.
In 2006,
the Company accrued $190,000 with respect to the New Units matter based on a
settlement offer extended to the plaintiff, which was not accepted at that
time. On November 9, 2007, the judge issued a summary judgment
against the Company with respect to the construction of the New
Units. The judgment did not specify damages, which the plaintiff will
be required to demonstrate at trial. On February 13, 2008, the court
entered judgment related to the New Units on the seller/developer’s behalf
awarding them the amount of $774,292 for costs and damages. The
Company appealed the lower court decision and as a condition of the appeals
process, the Company was required to post an appeal bond with the court, which
was backed by an irrevocable letter of credit. In July, 2009, the
appeal court ruled against the Company on its appeal and upheld the lower court
judgment. The Company used operating cash to pay the judgment of
$774,292 and legal fees, costs and interest of approximately
$163,700. The Company cancelled the letter of credit at which time
the segregated cash backing the irrevocable letter of credit was released and
returned to operating cash.
The
Company and our properties are not subject to any other material pending legal
proceedings.
13. SUBSEQUENT
EVENTS
On
October 11, 2009, a loan secured by one of the Company’s properties in the
amount of $15,720,000 was due to mature. A 30-day extension was
granted by the lender to extend the maturity date to November 10,
2009.
On
November 9, 2009, the Company borrowed $15,720,000 under the revolving credit
facility available from an affiliate of the Company to pay down the loan
maturing on November 10, 2009.
On
November 10, 2009, the Company repaid a matured loan that was due and payable in
full in the amount of $15,720,000 from borrowings received pursuant to the
previously mentioned advance under the revolving credit facility.
On
November 12, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Company (which committee is
comprised of the three directors who are independent under applicable rules and
regulations of the SEC and the American Stock Exchange) and the Board of
Directors approved an amendment to the Advisory Services Agreement (the
"Amendment") with Berkshire Property Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”), which is an
affiliate of the Company. The amendment includes a variable
incentive fee component to the existing asset management fees paid to the
Advisor (the “Incentive Advisory Fee”), which will be based on the increase in
value of the Company over a base value to be established as of December 31, 2009
(“Base Value”). The Amendment, which will become effective as of
January 1, 2010, requires the Company to accrue Incentive Advisory Fees payable
to the Advisor up to 12% of the increase in value of the Company above the
established Base Value. The Incentive Advisory Fee is variable and
generally to the extent the value of the Company decreases, the accrued
Incentive Advisory Fee would be reduced accordingly. Like the Asset
Management Fee, the Incentive Advisory Fee requires that all distributions
currently payable on the Series A 9% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock be
paid prior to the payment of any Incentive Advisory Fee due.
At
inception of the plan, January 1, 2010, the liability pursuant to the Amendment
will be zero, and any future liability will be based upon the increase in value
of the Company over the Base Value. The Advisor has established an incentive
compensation plan for its key employees. Any future accrued liability
under this plan will be equal to the accrued liability of the Incentive Advisory
Fees payable from the Company to the Advisor. Payments under the
incentive compensation plan are required to be made when vested plan
participants leave their employment with the Advisor and under certain other
limited circumstances. Additional limits have been placed on the
total amount of payments that can be made by the Company in any given year, with
interest accruing at the rate of 7% on any payments due but not yet
paid.
Subsequent
events have been evaluated through November 16, 2009, the date these financial
statements were issued.

MANAGEMENT’S
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OF BERKSHIRE INCOME REALTY, INC
|
You
should read the following discussion in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements of Berkshire Income Realty, Inc (the “Company”) and their
related notes and other financial information included in this report. For
further information please refer to the Company’s consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Forward
Looking Statements
Certain
statements contained in this report, including information with respect to our
future business plans, constitute “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”). For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not
statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements,
subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ significantly from those described in this report. These
forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, our
business strategy and operations, future expansion plans, future prospects,
financial position, anticipated revenues or losses and projected costs, and
objectives of management. Without limiting the foregoing, the words
“may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,”
“estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of such terms
and other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking
statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause
our results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking
statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in
economic conditions generally and the real estate and bond markets specifically,
legislative/regulatory changes (including changes to laws governing the taxation
of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)), possible sales of assets, the
acquisition restrictions placed on the Company by an affiliated entity Berkshire
Multifamily Value Fund II, LP, (“BVF II” or “Fund II”), availability of capital,
interest rates and interest rate spreads, changes in GAAP and policies and
guidelines applicable to REITs, those factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A “Risk
Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
“SEC”) and other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in
our public announcements and our reports filed with the SEC.
The
foregoing risks are not exhaustive. Other sections of this report may
include additional factors that could adversely affect our business and
financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to
time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risks factors,
nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the
extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, undue reliance
should not be placed on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual
results.
Current
economic conditions have lead to instability and tightening in the credit
markets and have lead to increases in spreads and the related pricing of secured
and unsecured debt. Prolonged interest rate increases could
negatively impact the Company’s ability to make future acquisitions, develop or
renovate properties or refinance existing debt at acceptable
rates. Additionally, prospective buyers of our properties may also
have difficulty obtaining debt which might make it more difficult for the
Company to sell properties at acceptable pricing levels. Continued
disruptions in the credit markets may also indirectly have an adverse effect on
the Company’s operations or the overall economy in which it
operates.
As used
herein, the terms “we”, “us” or the “Company” refer to Berkshire Income Realty,
Inc., a Maryland corporation, incorporated on July 19, 2002. The
Company is in the business of acquiring, owning, operating and renovating
multifamily apartment communities. Berkshire Property Advisors,
L.L.C. (“Berkshire Advisor” or “Advisor”) is an affiliated entity we have
contracted with to make decisions relating to the day-to-day management and
operation of our business, subject to the oversight of the Company’s Board of
Directors (“Board”). Refer to Item 13 – Certain Relationships and

Overview
The
Company is engaged primarily in the ownership, acquisition, operation and
rehabilitation of multifamily apartment communities in the Baltimore/Washington
D.C., Southeast, Southwest, Northwest and Midwest areas of the United States. We
conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through
subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets through Berkshire Income Realty –
OP, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited
partnership. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, BIR GP, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company, is the sole general partner of the Operating
Partnership.
As of
November 16, 2009, the Company owns 100% of the preferred limited partner units
of the Operating Partnership, whose terms mirror the terms of the Company’s
Series A 9% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and, through BIR GP, L.L.C.,
owns 100% of the general partner interest of the Operating Partnership, which
represents approximately 2.39% of the common economic interest of the Operating
Partnership.
Our
general and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership entitle us to
share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the
Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage interest therein. The
other partners of the Operating Partnership are affiliates who contributed their
direct or indirect interests in certain properties to the Operating Partnership
in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating
Partnership.
Our
highlights of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included the
following:

General
The
Company detailed a number of significant trends and specific factors affecting
the real estate industry in general and the Company’s business in particular in
Part II, Item 7 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended

continue to be relevant to the Company’s performance and financial
condition.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, cash decreased by
$13,566,726. The overall decrease was due primarily to transfers of
$12,621,013 to restricted cash, while capital expenditures of $11,275,233 were
offset by borrowings on mortgage notes payable of
$10,501,605. Additionally, the Company paid its regular quarterly
distributions to its preferred shareholders in the amount of
$5,025,589.
The
Company’s principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions to our
preferred and common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders, capital
improvements, rehabilitation projects and repairs and maintenance for the
properties, acquisition of additional properties within the investment
restrictions placed on it by BVF II, and debt repayment.
The
Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash
flows provided by operating activities, advances from the revolving credit
facility, and cash distributions from its investments, including the Company’s
investments in the Multifamily Venture Limited Partnership. The Company
considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to meet all operating
requirements and make distributions to its stockholders in accordance with the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to
REITs. Funds required to make distributions to our preferred and
common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders that are not provided
by operating activities will be supplemented by property debt financing and
refinancing activities.
The
Company intends to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through property
debt financing and refinancing noting that prolonged interest rate increases
resulting from current economic conditions could negatively impact the Company’s
ability to refinance existing debt at acceptable rates. As of
September 30, 2009, approximately $36,267,000 of principal, or 7.5% of the
Company’s outstanding mortgage debt is due to be repaid within the next three
years. During that period, $15,720,000 is due to mature and be repaid
in full in 2009 and $12,210,000 is due to mature and be repaid in full in
2010. Refer to the “Subsequent Events” on page
18 of “Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements” for further discussion. All other
payments of principal are regular monthly payments in accordance with the loans
amortization schedule. Refer to the “Debt Maturity Summary”
schedule on page 32 of this “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”
discussion. Additionally, the Company may seek to expand its
purchasing power through the use of venture relationships with other
companies.
The
Company has set aside $12,210,000 in restricted cash to pay for the mortgages
related to the Glo Apartments that were originally due to mature in 2009 and
2010 for $9,500,000 and $2,710,000, respectively. On July 27, 2009,
Fannie Mae granted a six-month extension for the amount originally due in 2009
of $9,500,000 to March 15, 2010. Additionally, a loan that was
secured by one of the Company’s properties in the amount of $15,720,000 was due
to mature in October 2009. A 30-day extension was granted by the
lender to extend the maturity date to November 2009. The loan was
repaid in full subsequent to September 30, 2009 using proceeds from borrowings
under the revolving credit facility available from an
affiliate. Refer to the “Subsequent Events” on page
18 of “Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements” for further discussion.
As of
September 30, 2009, the Company has fixed interest rate mortgage financing on
all of the properties in the portfolio with the exception of Glo Apartments,
which has a variable interest rate mortgage that is capped at 6% through
2013. The fixed interest rate mortgage financing also includes a
fixed rate construction to permanent mortgage on the Arboretum Land Development
project that was completed in the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
The
Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility in place with an affiliate
of the Company. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has no
borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit facility.
Capital
Expenditures
The
Company incurred $8,877,221 and $3,566,961 in recurring capital expenditures
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Recurring capital expenditures typically include items
such as appliances, carpeting, flooring, HVAC equipment, kitchen and bath
cabinets, site improvements and various exterior building
improvements.
The
Company incurred $2,398,012 and $15,588,888 in renovation and development
related capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. Renovation related capital expenditures generally
include capital expenditures of a significant non-recurring nature, including
construction management fees payable to an affiliate of the Company, where the
Company expects to see a financial return on the expenditure or where the
Company believes the expenditure preserves the status of a property within its
sub-market.
In
December 2006, the Company, as part of the decision to acquire the Standard at
Lenox Park property, approved a rehabilitation project at the 375-unit property
of approximately $5,000,000 for interior and exterior
improvements. As of September 30, 2009, the exterior improvements
have been completed and the interior portion of the project, which includes
rehabilitation of the kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and fixtures, for 374 of the
375 units had been completed, of which 373 units of those completed units have
been leased. Project costs to date approximate $5,250,000 of the
total current estimated costs of $5,332,000.
In
December 2007, the Company authorized the renovation of the Hampton House
property, a 215 unit high-rise building. Approximately $4,450,000 has been
budgeted for 2009 for interior and exterior improvements. Exterior
improvements include replacement of windows, sliding doors and balcony railings
and interior improvements include updates to apartment units including
rehabilitation of the kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and fixtures and updates to
common areas and systems, including the lobby, hallways and updates to the
buildings central systems. As of September 30, 2009, the interior
renovations of the lobby and amenities are complete. Additionally, 93
of the 199 residential units, or 47%, have been renovated and 89 of the
renovated units have been leased as of September 30, 2009. The
exterior improvements have been completed as of September 30, 2009.
The
Company has completed the development of one of the two parcels of vacant land
that it owns. The property, known as the Reserves at Arboretum, was
approved as of November 1, 2007 and construction of the 143 units and clubhouse
began in early 2008. The total project cost was estimated at
$17,000,000. As of September 30, 2009, the project costs incurred were
approximately $16,881,000 and within budget. Interest costs were
capitalized on the development projects until construction was substantially
complete. There was $152,188 and $222,404 of interest capitalized in the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No
development plans are currently in the works for the other vacant
parcel.
Pursuant
to terms of the mortgage debt on certain properties in the Company’s portfolio,
lenders require the Company to fund repair or replacement escrow
accounts. The funds in the escrow accounts are disbursed to the
Company upon completion of the required repairs or renovations
activities. The Company is required to provide to the lender
documentation evidencing the completion of the repairs, and in some cases, such
repairs are subject to inspection by the lender.
The
Company’s capital budgets for 2009 anticipate spending approximately $9,620,000
for ongoing rehabilitation, including the Hampton House project and development
of current portfolio properties, including the Silver Hills Apartments,
Executive House, Standard at the Lenox Park and the Arboretum Land development
project during the year. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has
not committed to any new significant rehabilitation projects.
Discussion
of acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
On
February 24, 2009, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, entered into
a Joint Venture Agreement to acquire 89.955% of the ownership interests in a 201
unit multifamily mid rise community in Los Angeles, California. The
purchase price of $47,500,000 and related closing costs consisted of a capital
commitment of $12,580,314 plus the assumption of the outstanding mortgage debt
secured by the property. The purchase was subject to normal operating
pro rations. As of June 30, 2009, the purchase price allocation was
final and no further adjustment is contemplated.
Discussion
of dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2009
The
Company did not dispose of any properties during the nine month period ended
September 30, 2009.
Declaration
of Dividends and Distributions
On March
25, 2003, the Board declared a dividend at an annual rate of 9% on the stated
liquidation preference of $25 per share of the outstanding Preferred Shares
which is payable quarterly in arrears, on February 15, May 15, August 15, and
November 15 of each year to shareholders of record in the amount of $0.5625 per
share, per quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, the Company’s aggregate dividends on the Preferred Shares totaled
$5,025,589 and $5,025,539, respectively, of which $837,607 was payable and
included on the balance sheet in Dividends and Distributions Payable as of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s aggregate
distributions and dividends to common general and common limited partners and
Class B common stockholders totaled $0 and $13,000,000,
respectively.
The
Company’s policy to provide for common distributions is based on available cash
and Board approval.
Results
of Operations and Financial Condition
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s portfolio (the “Total
Property Portfolio”), which consists of all properties acquired or placed in
service and owned through September 30, 2009, was increased by the purchase of
one property – Glo Apartments in Los Angeles, California. As a result
of changes in the composition of the property holdings in the Total Property
Portfolio over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, the consolidated
financial statements show changes in revenue and expenses from period to period
and as a result, the Company does not believe that its period-to-period
financial data are comparable. Therefore, the comparison of operating
results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 reflects the
changes attributable to the properties owned by the Company throughout each
period presented (the “Same Property Portfolio”).
“Net
Operating Income” (“NOI”) falls within the definition of a “non-GAAP financial
measure” as stated in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most
directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is a
measure of operating results that is useful to investors to analyze the
performance of a real estate company because it provides a direct measure of the
operating results of the Company’s multifamily apartment communities. The
Company also believes it is a useful measure to facilitate the comparison of
operating performance among competitors. The calculation of NOI
requires classification of income statement items between operating and
non-operating expenses, where operating items include only those items of
revenue and expense which are directly related to the income producing
activities of the properties. We believe that to achieve a more
complete understanding of the Company’s performance, NOI should be compared with
our reported net income (loss). Management uses NOI to evaluate the
operating results of properties without reflecting the effect of capital
decisions such as the issuance of mortgage debt and investments in capital
items; in turn, these capital decisions have an impact on interest expense and
depreciation and amortization.
The most
directly comparable financial measure of the Company’s NOI, calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP, is net income (loss), shown on the
consolidated statement of operations. For the three-month period
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, net (loss) was $(6,143,768) and $(5,961,188),
respectively. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, net (loss) income was $(23,145,399) and $8,343,087,
respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s NOI to net loss for
the three- and nine-month period September 30, 2009 and 2008 is presented as
part of the following tables.
Comparison

Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September
30, 2008
(Same
Property Portfolio)
Revenue
Rental
Revenue
Rental
revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar period of
2008. The increase is mainly attributable to increased occupancy as a
result of the completion of the utility conversion at the Seasons of Laurel
property where turnover and vacancies have been reduced and the completion and
availability of renovated units destroyed by a fire at County Place II and a
hurricane at Walden Pond.
Interest,
utility reimbursement and other revenue
Same
Property Portfolio interest, utility reimbursement and other revenues increased
for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the
three-month period ended September 30, 2008. Increase in utility
reimbursement is mainly due to successful increases in usage of bill back
programs to tenants. Other revenues increased as a result of revenues
from the fees charged to tenants and potential tenants, including late fees,
cable, laundry, valet trash and other similar revenue items.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
Overall
operating expenses decreased in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 as compared
to the same period of 2008. Savings in utilities, including
electricity and gas were offset by an increase in property
insurance. The Seasons of Laurel property has historically
contributed significantly to the Company’s overall utility expense as the
electricity charges at the property have been paid by the Company and were not
billed directly to tenants for usage of their apartment unit. The
Company has completed a project to modify the utility infrastructure to allow
for direct billing of electric costs by individual apartment
units. The changes to the infrastructure were completed in the fourth
quarter of 2008 with the related direct billing to tenants reaching full
implementation in early 2009. As a result of the individual
apartments units being migrated to a direct tenant billing, the Company has
realized a reduction in electricity expense at Seasons and anticipates the
reductions and related comparative savings to continue going
forward. Due to its property insurance coverage renewal in
April 2009, the Company anticipates an increase in property insurance expenses
for the remainder of the year.
Maintenance
Maintenance
expense increased slightly in the three months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period of 2008, mainly due to higher recurring and
non-recurring operating costs in activities such as exterminating, landscaping,
plumbing and cleaning. The higher expenses were partially offset by a
reduction in spending related to the repair of units destroyed by a fire at
Country Place II in 2008. Management continues to employ a proactive
maintenance rehabilitation strategy at its apartment communities and considers
the strategy an effective program that preserves, and in some cases increases,
its occupancy levels through improved consumer appeal of the apartment
communities, from both an interior and exterior perspective.
Real
Estate Taxes
Real
estate taxes decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from the
comparable period of 2008. The decrease is mainly due to a 2008
payment that was made regarding a prior year liability for a property that was
split into two separate parcel billings and was not received and paid until the
third quarter of 2008. This one-time adjustment was partially offset
by the continued escalation of assessed property valuations for properties in
the Same Property Portfolio including properties located in Maryland, Texas and
Georgia. The Company continually scrutinizes the assessed values of
its properties and avails itself of arbitration or similar forums made available
by the taxing authority for increases in assessed value that it considers to be
unreasonable. The Company has been successful in achieving tax
abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made to the
assessed values. The Company anticipates a continued upward trend in
real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place
significant reliance on property tax revenue.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses increased in the three-month period ended September
30, 2009 compared to 2008. The overall increase is due mainly to
normal operating expense fluctuations experienced throughout the properties of
the Same Property Portfolio including legal expense related to tenant
issues.
Management
Fees
Management
fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 based on increased levels
of revenue of the Same Property Portfolio. Property management fees
are assessed on the revenue stream of the properties managed by an affiliate of
the Company.
Non
Operating Expenses
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense of the Same Property Portfolio decreased slightly for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior
year. The decrease is a result of assets that have been fully
depreciated, offset by the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the
portfolio driven by substantial rehabilitation projects ongoing at the Standard
of Lenox and Hampton House properties, and the development of the Arboretum Land
known as The Reserves at Arboretum, and to a lesser degree, normal recurring
capital spending activities over the remaining properties in the Same Property
Portfolio.
Interest
Interest
expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased over the
comparable period of 2008. The increase is attributable to the
refinancing of mortgages on properties at an incrementally higher principal
level than the related paid-off loan. The majority of the increase is
due to the pay off of the Briarwood loan balance of $8,600,333 at maturity in
April 2008 and a new loan on the same property that was obtained in October
2008, in addition to new mortgage loans on Berkshires of Columbia and BIR Laurel
Woods properties that were closed in the first quarter of 2009.
Amortization
of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships
Amortization
of acquired in-place-leases and tenant relationships decreased significantly in
the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in
2008. The decrease is related mainly to the completion of
amortization of the acquired-in-place lease intangible assets booked at
acquisition and amortized over a 12 month period which did not extend into the
three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Comparison
of the three months ended September 30, 2009 to the three months ended September
30, 2008
(Total
Property Portfolio)
In
general, increases in revenues, operating expenses and non-operating expenses
and the related losses of the Total Property Portfolio for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30,
2008 are due mainly, in addition to the reasons discussed above, to the
fluctuations in the actual properties owned during the comparative periods, as
the net number of properties owned remained consistent as two properties were
sold in 2008 and 2 properties were acquired or developed during
2009. Also, an increase in the level of mortgage and revolving
credit debt outstanding during the comparative periods contributed to the
expense increase.

Comparison
of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine months ended September
30, 2008
(Same
Property Portfolio)
Revenue
Rental
Revenue
Rental
revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2009 in comparison to the similar period of 2008. The
increase is mainly attributable to increased occupancy as a result of the
completion of the utility conversion at the Seasons of Laurel property where
turnover and vacancies have been reduced and the completion and availability of
renovated units destroyed by a fire at County Place II and a hurricane at Walden
Pond.
Interest,
utility reimbursement and other revenue
Same
Property Portfolio interest, utility reimbursement and other revenues increased
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine-month
period ended September 30, 2008. Increase in utility reimbursement is
mainly due to successful increases in usage of bill back programs to
tenants. Other revenues increased as a result of revenues from the
fees charged to tenants and potential tenants, including late fees, cable, valet
trash and other similar revenue items.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
Overall
operating expenses increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to the same period of 2008. The increase is mainly due to
higher property insurance expenses as a result of the Company’s property
insurance coverage renewal in April 2009 offset by savings in utilities,
including electricity and water and sewer. The Seasons of Laurel
property has historically contributed significantly to the Company’s overall
utility expense as the electricity charges at the property have been paid by the
Company and were not billed directly to tenants for usage of their apartment
unit. The Company has completed a project to modify the utility
infrastructure to allow for direct billing of electric costs by individual
apartment units. The changes to the infrastructure were completed in
the fourth quarter of 2008 with the related direct billing to tenants reaching
full implementation in early 2009. As a result of the individual
apartments units being migrated to a direct tenant billing, the Company has
realized a reduction in electricity expense at Season’s and anticipates the
reductions and related comparative savings to continue going
forward. Due to its property insurance coverage renewal, the
Company anticipates an increase in property insurance expenses for the remainder
of the year.
Maintenance
Maintenance
expense decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the
same period of 2008, due mainly to increased occupancy from 2008 to 2009 across
the portfolio, but more specifically at the Seasons of Laurel, resulting in less
turnover related expenses. The Company has focused on maintaining
high occupancy levels through the recent challenging economic conditions and as
a result has seen a reduction of expenses normally associated with turning over
the units to new tenants. Management continues to employ a proactive
maintenance rehabilitation strategy at its apartment communities and considers
the strategy an effective program that preserves, and in some cases increases,
its occupancy levels through improved consumer appeal of the apartment
communities, from both an interior and exterior perspective. During
the comparative periods, maintenance items of a non-recurring or annual nature
have been carefully considered and in some cases delayed or eliminated in an
effort to bolster operating results.
Real
Estate Taxes
Real
estate taxes increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from the
comparable period of 2008. The increase is due mainly to the
continued escalation of assessed property valuations for properties in the Same
Property Portfolio including properties located in Maryland, Texas and
Georgia. The Company continually scrutinizes the assessed
values of its properties and avails itself of arbitration or similar forums made
available by the taxing authority for increases in assessed value that it
considers to be unreasonable. The Company has been successful in
achieving tax abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made
to the assessed values. The Company anticipates a continued upward
trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to
place significant reliance on property tax revenue.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses increased in the nine-month period ended September
30, 2009 compared to 2008. The increase is due mainly to normal
operating expense fluctuations experienced throughout the properties of the Same
Property Portfolio.
Management
Fees
Management
fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 compared to the same period of 2008 based on increased levels
of revenue of the Same Property Portfolio. Property management fees
are assessed on the revenue stream of the properties managed by an affiliate of
the Company.
Non
Operating Expenses
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period of the prior
year. The increased expense is related to the additions to the basis
of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by substantial rehabilitation projects
ongoing at the Standard of Lenox and Hampton House properties, and the
development of the Arboretum Land known as The Reserves at Arboretum, and to a
lesser degree, normal recurring capital spending activities over the remaining
properties in the Same Property Portfolio.
Interest
Interest
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased over the
comparable period of 2008. The increase is attributable to the
refinancing of mortgages on properties at an incrementally higher principal
level than the related paid-off loan. The majority of the increase is
due to the pay off of the Briarwood loan balance of $8,600,333 at maturity in
April 2008 and a new loan on the same property that was obtained in October
2008, in addition to new mortgage loans on Berkshires of Columbia and BIR Laurel
Woods properties that were closed in the first quarter of 2009.
Amortization
of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships
Amortization
of acquired in-place-leases and tenant relationships decreased significantly in
the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in
2008. The decrease is related mainly to the completion of
amortization of the acquired-in-place lease intangible assets booked at
acquisition and amortized over a 12 month period which did not extend into the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Comparison
of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to the nine months ended September
30, 2008
(Total
Property Portfolio)
In
general, increases in revenues, operating expenses and non-operating expenses
and the related losses of the Total Property Portfolio for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 are
due mainly, in addition to the reasons discussed above, to the fluctuations in
the actual properties owned during the comparative periods, as the net number of
properties owned remained consistent as two properties were sold in 2008 and 2
properties were acquired or developed during 2009. Also, an increase
in the level of mortgage and revolving credit debt outstanding during the
comparative periods contributed to the expense
increase. General and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2009 include costs associated with the acquisition of
the Glo property expensed pursuant to the guidance of ASC 805-10-05 adopted by
the Company on January 1, 2009 and costs paid for the judgment in the Lakeridge
legal matter.

The
Company’s “Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets” as of September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008 is presented in the following table. Fair value
of real estate assets is based on management’s best estimate of fair value for
properties purchased in prior years or purchase price for properties acquired
within the current year. As with any estimate, management’s estimate
of the fair value of properties purchased in prior years represents only its
good faith opinion as to that value, and there can be no assurance that the
actual value that might, in fact, be realized for any such property would
approximate that fair value. The following information is presented
in lieu of information regarding the Company’s “Debt-to-Total Market
Capitalization Ratio”, which is a commonly used measure in our industry, because
the Company’s market capitalization is not readily determinable since there was
no public market for its common equity during the periods presented in this
report.
The Board
has established investment guidelines under which management may not incur
indebtedness such that at the time we incur the indebtedness our ratio of debt
to total assets exceeds 75%. This measure is calculated based on the
fair value of the assets determined by management as described
above.
The
information regarding “Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets” is presented to
allow investors to calculate our loan-to-value ratios in a manner consistent
with those used by management and others in our industry, including those used
by our current and potential lenders. Management uses this information when
making decisions about financing or refinancing properties. Management also uses
fair value information when making decisions about selling assets as well as
evaluating acquisition opportunities within markets where we have
assets.
“Fair
Value of Real Estate Assets” is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be
considered as an alternative to net book value of real estate assets, the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance
with GAAP. The net book value of our real estate assets was
$446,954,992 and $419,002,572 at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
respectively, and is presented on the balance sheet as multifamily apartment
communities, net of accumulated depreciation.
The
following table reconciles the fair value of our real estate assets to the net
book value of real estate assets as of September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008.

The
Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets includes the outstanding borrowings
under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which were $0 at September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008. The revolving credit facility contains
covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios,
including an indebtedness to value ratio not to exceed 75%. If the
Company were to be in violation of this covenant, we would be unable to draw
advances from our line, which could have a material impact on the Company’s
ability to meet its short-term liquidity requirements. Further, if
the Company were unable to draw on its revolving credit facility, the Company
may have to slow or temporarily stop our rehabilitation projects, which could
have a negative impact on its results of operations and cash
flows. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company
was in compliance with the covenants of the revolving credit
facility. Fair value of the real estate assets is based on
management’s most current valuation of properties, which was made for all
properties owned at December 31, 2008, acquisition cost of properties acquired
subsequent to December 31, 2008, if any, and sales price of assets under
contract of sale as of September 30, 2009.
Funds
From Operations
The
Company follows the revised definition of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) adopted
by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“NAREIT”). Management considers FFO to be an appropriate
measure of performance of an equity REIT. We calculate FFO by
adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, including
non-recurring items), for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, real
estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustment for unconsolidated
partnerships and ventures. Management believes that in order to
facilitate a clear understanding of the historical operating results of the
Company, FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in
the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. Management
considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing the comparative operating and
financial performance of the Company because, by excluding gains and losses
related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and
excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among
owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost
accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating
performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to
different companies.
The
Company’s calculation of FFO may not be directly comparable to FFO reported by
other REITs or similar real estate companies that have not adopted the term in
accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current
NAREIT definition differently. FFO is not a GAAP financial measure
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most
directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and
presented in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our
performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity
or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe
that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our
reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows in
accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial
statements.
The
following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO for the

FFO for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased as compared to FFO for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in FFO is
due primarily to changes in the accounting for transaction costs under ASC
805-10-05 and the write-off of the Company’s investment in the Mezzanine Loan
LLC in the amount of $1,075,192. ASC 805-10-05 requires that costs
associated with acquisition transactions be expensed in the period
incurred. Prior to the implementation of ASC 805-10-05, transaction
costs were capitalized and included in the depreciable basis of acquired
properties. Transaction costs for the acquisition of Glo Apartments
total approximately $1,183,299, which were included in General and
Administrative expense on the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Additionally, payment of the judgment related to a matter
ruled against the Company on appeal, of approximately $747,992, also contributed
to the decrease in FFO in the comparable nine month periods.
Environmental
Issues
There are
no recorded amounts resulting from environmental liabilities because there are
no known contingencies with respect to environmental liabilities. The Company
obtains environmental audits through various sources, including lender
evaluations and acquisition due diligence, for each of its properties at various
intervals throughout a property’s useful life. The Company has not been advised
by any third party as to the existence of, nor has it identified on its own, any
material liability for site restoration or other costs that may be incurred with
respect to any of its properties.
Inflation
and Economic Conditions
Substantially
all of the leases at our properties are for a term of one year or less, which
enables the Company to seek increased rents for new leases or upon renewal of
existing leases. These short-term leases minimize the potential
adverse effect of inflation on rental income, although residents may leave
without penalty at the end of their lease terms and may do so if rents are
increased significantly.
The
United States is currently in the midst of what has been characterized as one of
the worst recessions since the 1930’s. Unemployment has risen to
nearly 10% while single family home prices have dropped leaving many homeowners
with homes worth less than their mortgage balances and on the brink of
foreclosure. The Company both believes and recognizes that real
estate goes through cycles and while the drivers of these cycles can vary
greatly from cycle to cycle, the outcome is generally the same with periods of
improving values and profit growth followed by periods of stagnant or declining
values and profit stagnation. The Company, however, recognizes that
real estate investing requires a long-term perspective and, as history suggests,
a company’s ability to remain resilient during tough economic times will often
lead to opportunities. In general, multifamily real estate
fundamentals of well located quality real estate have remained relatively steady
during the recent economic downturn. Occupancy rates continue to
hover in the low to mid-90% range for well located, well managed properties
though continued weakness in the economy and/or increasing unemployment rates
could have a negative impact on both occupancy and rent
levels. Creditworthy borrowers in the multifamily sector have
continued to be able to access capital through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
through 2008 and into 2009 at attractive rates. Though there is no
assurance that under existing or future regulatory restrictions this source of
capital, unique to multifamily borrowers, will continue to be
available. While the Company believes that 2009 continues to be a
challenging year, with increased competition for price conscious residents, the
possibility for continued tight credit markets and illiquidity in the
transaction markets, we feel that many of our previous assumptions about future
trends will be delayed for a period of time. The Company continues to
believe that projected demographic trends will favor the multifamily sector,
driven primarily by the continued flow of echo boomers (children of baby
boomers, age 20 to 29), the fastest growing segment of the population, and an
increasing number of immigrants who are often renters by
necessity. In many cases, the current economic climate has delayed
many would be residents from entering the rental market and instead choosing to
remain at home or to share rental units instead of renting their own
space. This trend may be creating a backlog of potential residents
who will enter the market as the economy begins to rebound and unemployment
rates begin to trend back to historical norms. The Company’s
properties are generally located in markets where zoning restrictions, scarcity
of land and high construction costs create significant barriers to new
development. The Company believes it is well positioned to manage its
portfolio through the remainder of this economic downturn and is prepared to
take advantage of opportunities that present themselves during such
times.
Item
3. QUANTITATIVE
AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The
Company’s mortgage notes are primarily fixed rate instruments; therefore, the
Company’s outstanding mortgage debt is not sensitive to changes in the capital
market except upon maturity. The Company’s revolving credit facility
is a variable rate arrangement tied to LIBOR and is therefore sensitive to
changes in the capital market. The table below provides information
about the Company’s financial instruments, specifically debt
obligations.
The table

The level
of market interest rate risk remained relatively consistent from December 31,
2008 to September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, $42,203,273 of
the Company’s debt outstanding is subject to variable interest
rates. The Company’s variable rate exposure is limited to 6% as the
Company holds an interest rate cap contract for the related debt. The
variable interest rate on the debt was 1.66% at September 30,
2009. The Company estimates that the effect of a 1% increase or
decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on interest
expense.

LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
|
The
Company was party to a legal proceeding initiated by a seller/developer from
whom the Company acquired a property in 2005. The dispute involved
the interpretation of certain provisions of the purchase and sales agreement
related to post acquisition construction activities. Specifically,
the purchase and sales agreement provided that if certain conditions were met,
the seller/developer would develop a vacant parcel of land contiguous to the
acquired property with 18 new residential apartment units (the “New Units”) for
the benefit of the Company at an agreed-upon price. The purchase and
sales agreement also provided the opportunity for the seller/developer to build
a limited number of garages (the “Garages”) for the existing apartment units for
the benefit of the Company at an agreed-upon price.
In 2006,
the Company accrued $190,000 with respect to the New Units matter based on a
settlement offer extended to the plaintiff, which was not accepted at that
time. On November 9, 2007, the judge issued a summary judgment
against the Company with respect to the construction of the New
Units. The judgment did not specify damages, which the plaintiff will
be required to demonstrate at trial. On February 13, 2008, the court
entered judgment related to the New Units on the seller/developer’s behalf
awarding them the amount of $774,292 for costs and damages. The
Company appealed the lower court decision and as a condition of the appeals
process, the Company was required to post an appeal bond with the court, which
was backed by an irrevocable letter of credit. In July, 2009, the
appeal court ruled against the Company on its appeal and upheld the lower court
judgment. The Company used operating cash to pay the judgment of
$774,292 and legal fees, costs and interest of approximately
$163,700. The Company cancelled the letter of credit at which time
the segregated cash backing the irrevocable letter of credit was released and
returned to operating cash.
The
Company and our properties are not subject to any other material pending legal
proceedings.
