NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)


1.	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, developing and rehabilitating multifamily apartment communities. As of March 31, 2012, the Company owned, or had an interest in, 27 multifamily apartment communities consisting of a total 6,577 apartment units and two multifamily development projects.

The Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Section 856 of the Tax Code (the "Code"), with the filing of its first tax return. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its stockholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. The Company's policy is to make sufficient distributions of its taxable income to meet the REIT distribution requirements. The Company must also meet other operational requirements with respect to its investments, assets and income. The Company monitors these various requirements on a quarterly basis and believes that as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, it was in compliance on all such requirements. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to certain state level taxes based on the location of its properties.

Discussion of acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2012

The Company did not acquire any properties during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

Discussion of dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2012

On March 23, 2012, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of the Riverbirch property, a 210-unit multifamily apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina, to an unaffiliated buyer. The sale price of the property was $14,200,000 and is subject to normal operating prorations and adjustments as provided for in the purchase and sale agreement. The proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility and other general uses.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 clarifies some existing concepts, eliminates wording differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and in some limited cases, changes some principles to achieve convergence between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05, which deferred the new requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the income statement. Both ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 did not have a material effect on the Company's operating results or financial position.

Table of contents

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited; however, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair statement for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Consolidated statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, comprehensive income (loss) equaled net income (loss). Therefore, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Loss required to be presented has been omitted from the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.

2. MULTIFAMILY APARTMENT COMMUNITIES

The following summarizes the carrying value of the Company’s multifamily apartment communities:



	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011
Land	$	67,761,010		$	68,745,583
Buildings, improvement and personal property	581,238,190			581,516,746
Multifamily apartment communities	648,999,200			650,262,329
Accumulated depreciation	(230,851,815		)	(227,600,092		)
Multifamily apartment communities, net	$	418,147,385		$	422,662,237

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of investments in real estate in accordance with ASC 805-10, 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 for impairment pursuant to ASC 360-10. The Company did not record an impairment adjustment during the three months ended March 31, 2012 or twelve months ended December 31, 2011.

Discontinued Operations

On December 22, 2011, the Company, through its joint venture, BIR Holland JV LLC, closed on the sale of the Glo property to Equity Residential for $68.5 million.

The results of operations for the Glo and Riverbirch properties have been restated and are presented as results from discontinued operations in the statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, pursuant to ASC 205-20.

3. 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 totaled $23,400,000. BVF’s investment strategy was to acquire middle-market properties where there is an opportunity to add value through repositioning or rehabilitation.

In accordance with ASC 810-10 issued by FASB and related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in BVF to determine whether it would qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of the Company’s qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment in BVF is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the fact that the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power, through voting rights, or similar rights to direct the activities of BVF that most significantly impact BVF’s economic performance. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of BVF, the general partner of BVF has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of BVF.

After making the determination that its investment in BVF was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of BVF and therefore would be required to consolidate BVF’s balance sheets and result of operations. This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of BVF, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF that could potentially be significant to the entity based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of BVF. As a result of fees paid to the general partner of BVF for asset management and other services, the Company has determined that the general partner of BVF has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF while retaining the power to make significant decisions for BVF. Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the general partner of BVF should consolidate BVF and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in BVF as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $23,400,000 in BVF for an ownership interest of approximately 7%.

The gain on the sale was $28,273,345, of which the Company's share was approximately $1,979,000 and is reflected in the equity income recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

4. INVESTMENT IN MULTIFAMILY LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

On March 2, 2011, the Operating Partnership executed an agreement with Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund II ("BVF-II"), an affiliated entity, to create a joint venture, BIR/BVF-II NoMa JV, L.L.C. ("NoMa JV"), to participate in and take an ownership position in a real estate development project. BVF-II is the managing member of NoMa JV and has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 67% while the Operating Partnership has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 33%.

Also on March 2, 2011, NoMa JV acquired a 90% interest in NOMA Residential West I, LLC. (“NOMA Residential”). NOMA Residential will develop and subsequently operate a 603-unit multifamily apartment community in Washington, D.C. The remaining 10% interest in NOMA Residential is owned by the developer, an unrelated third party (the “Developer”). The governing agreements for NOMA Residential give the Developer the authority to manage the construction and development of, and subsequent to completion, the day-to-day operations of NOMA Residential. The agreement also provides for fees to the Developer, limits the authority of the Developer and provides for distributions based on percentage interest and thereafter in accordance with achievement of economic hurdles.

In accordance with ASC 810-10 related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in NoMa JV to determine whether it would qualify as a variable interest entity ("VIE") and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of the Company's qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the holders of the equity investment at risk lacking the power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of NoMa JV, the managing member has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of NoMa JV.

After making the determination that its investment in NoMa JV was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of NoMa JV and would be required to consolidate the VIE's balance sheet and results of operations. This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of NoMa JV, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of NoMa JV that could potentially be significant to the VIE based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of NoMa JV. Because the managing member owns roughly two-thirds of the entity and all profits and losses are split pro-rata in accordance with capital accounts, the Company has determined that the managing member has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE while retaining the power to make significant decisions for NoMa JV. Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the managing member should consolidate NoMa JV and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in NoMa JV as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $14,520,000 in NoMa JV for an ownership interest of approximately 33% and had recorded $623,287 of capitalized interest on the investment.

The capitalized interest was computed on the amounts borrowed by the Company to finance its investment in NoMa JV and was not an item required to be funded via a capital investment in the NoMa JV.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in NoMa JV 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.

5. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

On March 31, 2011, the Operating Partnership, through JV 2020 Lawrence, entered into an agreement for fixed rate construction-to-permanent financing totaling up to $45,463,100, which will be collateralized by the related property and is insured by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"). The construction loan will convert to permanent financing at the completion of the development period and will continue for a term of 40 years from the date of conversion at a fixed interest rate of 5.00%. The proceeds of the financing will be used to develop a mid-rise multifamily apartment building in Denver, Colorado. JV 2020 Lawrence submitted the first construction loan draw to the lender at closing. As of March 31, 2012, the outstanding balance on the loan was approximately $21,732,000.

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

Table of contents

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 is 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 $529,234,000 and $528,295,000 at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

6. NOTE PAYABLE, AFFILIATE

The Company had a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility commitment with an affiliate of the Company, which was amended on February 17, 2011. The credit facility is subject to a 60-day notice of termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the commitment.

On February 17, 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) which provides for a temporary modification of certain provisions of the facility during a period commencing with the date of execution and ending on July 31, 2012 (the “Amendment Period”), subject to extension. During the Amendment Period, certain provisions of the facility are modified and include: an increase in the amount of the commitment from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000; elimination of the leverage ratio covenant and clean-up requirement (each as defined in the revolving credit facility agreement) and computation and payment of interest on a quarterly basis. At the conclusion of the Amendment Period, including extensions, the provisions modified pursuant to the Credit Facility Amendment will revert back to the provisions of the revolving credit facility agreement prior to the Amendment Period.

On May 24, 2011, the Company executed an amendment to the facility which limits the total commitment fee provided for in the agreement to be no greater than $400,000 in the aggregate.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company borrowed $0 and $32,100,000, respectively, under the revolving credit facility and repaid $7,349,422 and $0 of advances, respectively, during the same periods. The Company incurred interest of $101,638 and $211,294 related to the facility during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, of which $97,394 and $0 were capitalized pursuant to ASC 835-20, respectively, during the same periods. The Company did not pay any commitment fee during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. There was $1,000,000 and $8,349,422 outstanding as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, under the facility.

7. EQUITY / DEFICIT

On March 25, 2003, the Board of Directors (“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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s aggregate dividends on the Preferred Shares totaled $1,675,194 and $1,675,187, respectively, of which $837,607 was payable and included on the balance sheet in Dividends and Distributions Payable as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The payments were treated as distributions attributable to the common shareholders and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Deficit.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Board did not authorize the general partner of the Operating Partnership to distribute any quarterly distributions to common general and common limited partners or a common dividend on the Company’s Class B Common Stock.

The Company’s policy to provide for common distributions is based on available cash and Board approval.

Expense reimbursements due to affiliates of $5,652,831 and $4,405,705 are included in “Due to affiliates, net” at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Table of contents

Expense reimbursements due from affiliates of $3,034,862 and $3,160,558 are included in “Due to affiliates, net” at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 incurred $857,272 and $798,425 of property management fees in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company pays Berkshire Advisor a fixed annual asset management fee equal to 0.40%, up to a maximum of $1,600,000 in any calendar year, 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. 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 noncontrolling partners in the properties. In addition to the fixed fee, effective January 1, 2010, the Company may also pay Berkshire Advisor an Incentive Advisory Fee based on increases in value of the Company that would not be subject to the $1,600,000 maximum. The Company also reimburses affiliates for certain expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the properties, including administrative expenses and salary reimbursements.

On November 12, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Company approved an Amendment to the Advisory Services Agreement with Berkshire Advisor which included an Incentive Advisory Fee component to the existing asset management fees payable to the Advisor. The Amendment, which was effective January 1, 2010, provides for the Incentive Advisory Fee which is based on the increase in fair value of the Company, as calculated and approved by management, over the base value established as of December 31, 2009 ("Base Value"). The Company is required to accrue Incentive Advisory Fees payable to the Advisor up to 12% of the increase in fair value of the Company above the established Base Value. The Company has recorded $1,455,594 and $387,666 of Incentive Advisory Fees during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the accrued liability of $5,359,874 and $3,904,280, respectively, was included in "Due to affiliate, incentive advisory fees" on the consolidated balance sheets. Payments from the plan will approximate the amounts the Advisor pay to its employees. Payments to employees by the Advisor pursuant to the plan are generally paid over a four-year period in quarterly installments. 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. The Company has not made any Incentive Advisory Fee payments as of March 31, 2012.

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. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company paid a fee on the acquisition of Estancia Townhomes in the amount of $420,000, which was charged to Operating expenses pursuant to the Company’s adoption of ASC 805-10 as of January 1, 2009. The Company did not make any acquisitions in the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

(“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. Refer to Part III, Item 13 - Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence and Part IV, Item 15 - Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 14 - Related Party Transactions of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 as filed with the SEC for additional information about the Advisor.

Overview

The Company is engaged primarily in the acquisition, ownership, operation, development and rehabilitation of multifamily apartment communities in the Baltimore/Washington D.C., Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, Midwest and Western 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 May 14, 2012, 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.

Table of contents

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 three months ended March 31, 2012 included the following:

On March 23, 2012, the Company repaid $7,349,422 of principal on the revolving credit facility available from an affiliate. The repayment was made from proceeds resulting from the sale of the Riverbirch property.

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 December 31, 2011. The Company believes those trends and factors continue to be relevant to the Company’s performance and financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $8,759,118 and $9,645,420 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Cash provided and used by the Company for three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:



	Three months ended
	March 31,
	2012			2011
Cash provided by operating activities	$	6,352,543		$	2,623,328
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities	2,792,995			(66,220,150		)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(10,031,840		)	64,523,042

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, cash decreased by $886,302. The overall decrease was due primarily to capital expenditures of $11,020,463 and the Company's regular quarterly distributions to its preferred shareholders totaling $1,675,194.

The decrease was partially offset by proceeds from the sale of the Riverbirch property of $13,897,103, of which $7,349,422 was used to reduce the outstanding balance of the revolving credit facility and $5,506,728 was used for the prepayment on the mortgage notes payable on the Riverbirch property.

The Company’s principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions to our preferred and common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders based on availability of cash and approval of the Board, capital improvements, rehabilitation projects and repairs and maintenance for the properties, debt repayment, ongoing development projects and acquisition and development of additional properties within the investment restrictions placed on it by BMEF.

The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operating activities and advances from the revolving credit facility. 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 possible interest rate increases resulting from current economic conditions could negatively impact the Company’s ability to refinance existing debt at acceptable rates. As of March 31, 2012, approximately $131,501,000 of principal, or 27.1% of the Company’s outstanding mortgage debt is due to be repaid within the next three years. During that three-year period, principal of

Table of contents

$55,995,000 and $62,069,000 relates to loans that are due to mature and be repaid in full in 2013 and 2014, respectively. All other payments of principal during the three-year period are monthly payments in accordance with the loan amortization schedules. The Company expects to fund any maturing mortgages through refinancing of such mortgages. Additionally, the Company may seek to expand its purchasing power through the use of venture relationships with other companies with liquidity.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company has fixed interest rate mortgage financing on all properties in the portfolio.

The Company has a $40,000,000 revolving credit facility in place with an affiliate of the Company. As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there was $1,000,000 and $8,349,422 outstanding on the facility, respectively. The available credit amount of $40,000,000 on the revolving credit facility was established by an amendment to the original agreement that provided for an “Amendment Period” during which, including changes to other provisions, the available credit was increased to $40,000,000 from $20,000,000. The Amendment Period is due to expire July 31, 2012, subject to extension rights, and revert back to the original credit amount of $20,000,000 unless an available option to extend the Amendment Period is exercised by the Company.

Capital Expenditures

The Company incurred $1,787,719 and $619,339 in recurring capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 $9,232,744 and $391,154 in renovation and development related capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, 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.

On February 10, 2011, the Operating Partnership, through its subsidiary, BIR 2020 Lawrence, L.L.C., entered into an agreement to acquire approximately 90% of the ownership interests in a development project to build a 231-unit multifamily mid-rise community in Denver, Colorado. As of March 31, 2012, the project development cost incurred were approximately $30.3 million of the total budgeted costs of approximately $55.5 million, of which $45.5 million is being funded by HUD-insured financing. The Company's total capital committed to the venture is $8,000,000. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has made capital contributions of $5,903,704, or 73.8%, of the total commitment. The development is on time and on budget.

On December 12, 2011, the Company executed a limited liability company agreement with an unrelated entity for the development of a 154-unit apartment building in Walnut Creek, California, which is currently in the entitlement phase. Once fully committed, the Company's ownership percentage will be 98%. Total capital committed to the venture is $16,872,863. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has made capital contributions of $295,116, or 1.7% of the total commitment. The development is currently 4 months behind schedule and still on budget.

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 2012 anticipate spending approximately $7,922,000 for ongoing capital needs. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has not committed to any new significant rehabilitation projects.

Discussion of acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2012

The Company did not acquire any properties during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.

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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s aggregate dividends on the Preferred Shares totaled $1,675,194 and $1,675,187, respectively, of which $837,607 was payable and included on the balance sheet in Dividends and Distributions Payable as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Board did not authorize the general partner of the Operating Partnership to distribute quarterly distributions to common general and common limited partners or a common dividend on the Company’s Class B Common Stock.

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 three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company’s portfolio (the “Total Property Portfolio”), which consists of all properties owned, acquired or placed in service during the period ended March 31, 2012, was decreased by the sale of the Riverbirch property. As a result of changes in the composition of the property holdings in the Total Property Portfolio over the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, 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 three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 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 months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, net income (loss) was $5,945 and $(199,479), respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s NOI to net income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 is presented as part of the following tables.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2011

(Same Property Portfolio)

Revenue

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 in comparison to the same period of 2011. The increase is mainly attributable to increased occupancy and rents at most of the properties. Market conditions remain stable in the majority of the sub-markets in which the Company owns and operates apartments. The Company continues to benefit from its focus on resident retention in the Same Property Portfolio. Improving economic conditions and the continued strength in the apartment markets has allowed the Company to implement rent increases at properties in strong markets while retaining high levels of quality tenants throughout the portfolio.

Interest, utility reimbursement and other revenue

Same Property Portfolio interest, utility reimbursement and other revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, due primarily to the continued expansion in the use of utility bill back programs, increased fees charged to tenants and potential tenants, including late fees, cable, valet trash and other similar revenue items.

Operating Expenses

Operating

Overall operating expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011. Savings in utilities including gas and electricity as a result of the mild winter, in addition to recoveries from insurance claims were offset by higher payroll expenses due to bonus payments and group insurance.

Maintenance

Maintenance expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of 2011, mainly due to higher recurring and non-recurring operating costs in activities such as landscaping, partially offset by savings in snow removal costs due to the mild winter. 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 March 31, 2012 from the comparable period of 2011. 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 the Company 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. Going forward, the Company anticipates a general upward trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place significant reliance on property tax revenue.

Management Fees

Management fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Property management fees are assessed on the revenue stream of the properties managed by an affiliate of the Company.

Table of contents

Non-Operating Expenses

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of the Same Property Portfolio decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is a result of assets that have been fully depreciated, partially offset by the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by normal recurring capital spending activities over the remaining properties in the Same Property Portfolio.

Interest, inclusive of amortization of deferred financing fees

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased over the comparable period of 2011 primarily due to reduced principal balances at most properties as a result of mortgage principal amortization.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2012 to the three months ended March 31, 2011

(Total Property Portfolio)

In general, increases in revenues and total operating expenses and decreases in total non-operating expenses of the Total Property Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 are due mainly, in addition to the reasons discussed above, to the fluctuations in the actual properties owned during the comparative periods, as a property was acquired during the first quarter of 2011 and a property was sold during the first quarter of 2012. The increase in total operating expenses was also attributable to increased incentive advisory fees, partially offset by transaction costs of $547,932 associated with the acquisition of the Estancia Townhomes expensed pursuant to the guidance of ASC 805-10, which were included in Operating expenses during the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 for which there was no comparative expense in 2012. (Refer to Related Party Transactions on page 16 for further discussion.) The decrease in total non-operating expenses was mainly attributable to lower interest expenses incurred as a result of reduced revolving credit balance outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2012 when compared to the same period ended March 31, 2011.

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, impairments, 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 loss to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 decreased as compared to FFO for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011. The decrease in FFO is due primarily to increased incentive advisory fees and higher loss from discontinued operations recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period ended March 31, 2011, partially offset by increased revenue and transaction costs for the acquisition of Estancia of $547,932 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 for which there was no comparative expense recorded in 2012.

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.

Though the United States' economy continues to be challenged by the high unemployment rate, slow but reasonably steady growth is still seen in many parts of the economy. The multifamily sector continues to exhibit strong fundamentals and improved performance on a national basis, evidenced by improved occupancy levels and increases in effective rents. These improvements are due, in large part, to favorable supply and demand dynamics, as construction of new apartment units and single family homes has decreased significantly, home ownership has declined, and the home buying market has weakened due to stricter mortgage qualification standards and declining home values.

Credit worthy borrowers in the multifamily sector continue to be able to access capital through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other sources, at historically 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.

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 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 presents principal cash flows, interest payments and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the mortgage notes payable as of March 31, 2012.



	2012			2013			2014			2015			2016			Thereafter			Total
Fixed Rate Debt	$	4,007,780		$	61,118,786		$	66,374,918		$	63,431,732		$	73,289,368		$	217,322,736		$	485,545,320
Interest Payments	18,257,557			26,839,607			22,634,010			17,629,731			15,518,465			75,149,624			176,028,994
Average Interest Rate	5.38		%	5.05		%	5.48		%	5.67		%	5.67		%	5.76		%	5.60		%

The level of market interest rate risk remained relatively consistent from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012 as evidenced by the stability in the multifamily housing mortgage interest rates over the same period. As of March 31, 2012, none of the Company’s debt outstanding is subject to variable interest rates.
