NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2021

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977. NERA and its subsidiaries own 29 properties which include 21 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex. These properties total 2,892 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 108,043 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40 - 50% interest in 7 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 688 apartment units, 12,500 square feet of commercial space and a 50 car parking lot. The properties are located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgements and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NERA and its subsidiaries. NERA has a 99.67% to 100% ownership interest in each subsidiary except for the seven limited liability companies (the “Investment Properties” or “Joint Ventures”) in which the Partnership has a 40 - 50% ownership interest. The consolidated group is referred to as the “Partnership”. Minority interests are not recorded, since they are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the above-mentioned Investment Properties using the equity method of consolidation. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. In 2013 and beyond, the carrying values of some investments fell below zero. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that equity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the

8

variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Revenue Recognition: Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue from commercial leases also include reimbursements and recoveries received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement. The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Rental concessions are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease amounts are accounted for as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Partnership evaluates the non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues). If both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component. The Partnership elected an allowed practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions which improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Partnership allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the

9

Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Leasing Fees: Leasing fees are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Unamortized balances are expensed when the corresponding fee is no longer applicable.

Deferred Financing Costs: Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was approximately $120,000 and $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes: The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes have been recorded (See Note 13).

Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Segment Reporting: Operating segments are revenue producing components of the Partnership for which separate financial information is produced internally for management. Under the definition, NERA operated, for all periods presented, as one segment.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as changes in partners’ equity, exclusive of transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). NERA did not have any comprehensive income items in 2021 or 2020 other than net income as reported.

Income (Loss) Per Depositary Receipt: Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth (1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership. All references to Depositary Receipts in the report are reflective of the 3- for-1 forward split.

Income Per Unit: Net income per unit has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during each period presented. The Partnership has no dilutive units and, therefore, basic net income is the same as diluted net income per unit (see Note 7: Partner’s Capital).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s properties are located in New England, and the Partnership is subject to the general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more

10

than 5% of the Partnership’s revenues in 2021 or 2020. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2021, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.01% to 0.03%. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively approximately $23,473,000, and $18,830,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits included in prepaid expenses and other assets exceeded federally insured amounts.

Advertising Expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $154,569 and $145,803 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Rental Property Held for Sale: When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

Interest Capitalized: The Partnership follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of rental property when the time of construction exceeds one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 there was no capitalized interest.

Extinguishment of Debt: When existing mortgages are refinanced with the same lender and it is determined that the refinancing is substantially different, then they are recorded as an extinguishment of debt. However if it is determined that the refinancing is substantially the same, then they are recorded as an exchange of debt. All refinancing qualify as extinguishment of debt.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation.

Line of Credit

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension in 2017 were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension. Management has a signed term sheet with the lender and is working to close on a three year extension and modification of the line of credit in August 2021.

The line of credit may be used for acquisition, refinancing, improvements, working capital and other needs of the Partnership. The line may not be used to pay distributions, make distributions or acquire equity interests of the Partnership.

The line of credit is collateralized by varying percentages of the Partnership’s ownership interest in 23 of its subsidiary properties and joint ventures. Pledged interests range from 49% to 100% of the Partnership’s ownership interest in the respective entities.

The Partnership paid fees to secure the line of credit. Any unused balance of the line of credit is subject to a fee ranging from 15 to 20 basis points per annum. The Partnership paid approximately $6,000 in fees for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On December 19, 2019, the Partnership drew down on the line of credit in the amount of $20,000,000, used in conjunction with the purchase of Mill Street Apartments. On December 20, 2019, the Partnership paid down $2,000,000. On January 22, 2020, the Partnership paid down $1,000,000. As of June 30, 2021, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of $17,000,000.

The line of credit agreement has several covenants, such as providing cash flow projections and compliance certificates, as well as other financial information. The covenants include, but are not limited to the following: maintain a leverage ratio that does not exceed 65%; aggregate increase in indebtedness of the subsidiaries and joint ventures should not exceed $15,000,000; maintain a tangible net worth (as defined in the agreement) of a minimum of $150,000,000; a minimum ratio of net operating income to total indebtedness of at least 9.5%; debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.6 to 1, as well as other items. As of June 30, 2021, the Partnership is not in compliance with the loan covenants required by the terms of the line of credit, eliminating any additional advances. In anticipation of this, Management has been working with the lender to extend and modify the terms of the credit line. On July 30, 2021, the Partnership signed a term sheet to modify the covenant terms and extend the maturity of the credit line. The Partnership will be in compliance with the loan covenants under the terms of loan extension and modification. See Note 17. Subsequent Events for details.

On August 20, 2007, NewReal, Inc., the General Partner authorized an equity repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”) under which the Partnership was permitted to purchase, over a period of twelve months, up to 300,000 Depositary Receipts (each of which is one-tenth of a Class A Unit). Over time, the General Partner has authorized increases in the equity repurchase program. On March 10, 2015, the General Partner authorized an increase in the Repurchase Program from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Depository Receipts and extended the Program for an additional five years from March 31, 2015 until March 31, 2020. On March 9, 2020, the General Partner extended the program for an additional five years from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2025. The Repurchase Program requires the Partnership to repurchase a proportionate number of Class B Units and General Partner Units in connection with any repurchases of any Depositary Receipts by the Partnership based upon the 80%, 19% and 1% fixed distribution percentages of the holders of the Class A, Class B and General Partner Units under the Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership. Repurchases of Depositary Receipts or Partnership Units pursuant to the Repurchase Program may be made by the Partnership from time to time in its sole discretion in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. From August 20, 2007 through June 30, 2021, the Partnership has repurchased 1,428,437 Depositary Receipts at an average price of $28.43 per receipt (or $852.90 per underlying Class A Unit), 3,572 Class B Units and 188 General Partnership Units, both at an average price of $1,033.00 per Unit, totaling approximately $44,718,000 including brokerage fees paid by the Partnership.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership did not purchase any Depositary Receipts.

Given the economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus issue, as of April 15, 2020, the Partnership has elected to temporarily suspend the repurchase program.

15

The Massachusetts economy has opened significantly since the spring of 2021 with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the state of emergency. Colleges and universities are scheduled to resume on-campus learning in the fall. Vacancy rates at the Partnership’s properties are back in line with pre-COVID levels. However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread as new variants emerge even as the percentage of the population who have been vaccinated increases. There is considerable uncertainty as to when the pandemic will end and what effects it will have on the economy as it continues. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause financial hardships to our residential and commercial tenants leading to their inability to pay rent. The pandemic may also cause reduced demand for our commercial space and residential units which would have a negative impact on the Partnership’s financial performance.

NOTE 10. RENTAL INCOME

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 94% of rental income was related to residential apartments and condominium units with leases of one year or less. The majority of these leases expire in June, July and August. Approximately 6% was related to commercial properties, which have minimum future annual rental income on non-cancellable operating leases at June 30, 2021 as follows:

	Commercial

2025		437,000
2026		260,000
Thereafter		450,000

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and note payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we estimated the fair value of our mortgages payable and other notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available. We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt that does not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. The secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

● For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, investment in partnerships, accounts payable, advance rents and security deposits: fair value approximates the carrying value of such assets and liabilities.

● For mortgage notes payable: fair value is generally based on estimated future cash flows, which are discounted using the quoted market rate from an independent source for similar obligations. Refer to the table below for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of such instruments.

The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our debt.

		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgage Notes Payable
Partnership Properties
At June 30, 2021	*	$	282,438,864	$	299,691,938
At December 31, 2020	*	$	283,444,533	$	303,993,142

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2021 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 13. TAXABLE INCOME AND TAX BASIS

Taxable income reportable by the Partnership and includable in its partners’ tax returns is different than financial statement income because of tax free exchanges, different depreciation methods, different tax lives, other items with limited tax deductibility and timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets at significant acquisitions. Federal taxable income of approximately $8,578,000 was approximately $7,153,000 more than statement income for the year ended December 31, 2020.The Federal cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2020 is approximately $7,332,000 more than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the difference in tax basis are tax free exchanges, accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation. The Partnership’s Federal tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $1,476,000 more than statement basis. State taxable income may be significantly different due to different tax treatments for certain items.

Certain entities included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are subject to certain state taxes. These taxes are not significant and are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidates financial statements.

The Partnership adopted the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation of the guidance, the Partnership recognized no material adjustment regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Partnership expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which would be included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable. As of June 30, 2021, the tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2017 forward.

NOTE 14. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The Partnership has invested in seven limited partnerships and limited liability companies, the majority of which have invested in residential apartment complexes, with three Joint Ventures investing in commercial property. The Partnership has between a 40%-50% ownership interests in each investment. The other investors are the Brown Family related entities and five current and former employees of the Management Company. The Brown Family’s ownership interest was between 47.6% and 59%, with the balance owned by the others. A description of each investment is as follows;

On October 28, 2009 the Partnership invested approximately $15,925,000 in a joint venture to acquire a 40% interest in a residential property located in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property, Hamilton Park Towers LLC, referred to as Dexter Park, or Hamilton Park, is a 409 unit residential complex. The purchase price was $129,500,000. The original mortgage was $89,914,000 with an interest rate of 5.57% and was to mature in 2019. The mortgage called for interest only payments for the first two years of the loan and amortized over 30 years thereafter.

On May 31, 2018, Hamilton Park Towers, LLC , entered into a Mortgage Note with John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) in the principal amount of $125,000,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.99% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on June 1, 2028. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Dexter Park apartment complex located at 175 Freeman Street, Brookline, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated May 31, 2018. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership and HBC Holdings, LLC pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated May 31, 2018.

18

Hamilton Park used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately $82,000,000 and distributed approximately $41,200,000 to its’ owners. The Partnership’s share of the distribution was approximately $16,500,000. As a result of the distribution, the carrying value of the investment fell below zero.

NOTE 15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

Effective January 1, 2019, employees of the Partnership, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Management Company’s 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).  Eligible employees may elect to defer up to 90 percent of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. 

The amounts cxontributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable.  Beginning January 1, 2019, the Partnership matched 50% up to 6% of compensation deferred by each employee in the 401(k) plan. The Partnership may make discretionary matching or profit-sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year.  Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit-sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Partnership at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Partnership. Total expense recognized by the Partnership for the 401(k) Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22,000.

NOTE 16. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question & Answer (“Q&A”) which was intended to reduce the challenges of evaluating the enforceable rights and obligations of leases for concessions granted to lessees in response to the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic. Prior to this guidance, the Partnership was required to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession should be accounted for as a lease modification, potentially resulting in any lease concessions granted being recorded as a reduction to revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the leases. The Q&A allows both lessors and lessees to bypass this analysis and elect not to evaluate whether concessions provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications. This relief is subject to certain conditions being met, including ensuring the total remaining lease payments are substantially the same or less as compared to the original lease payments prior to the concession being granted. The Partnership has elected to apply such relief and will therefore not evaluate if lease concessions that were granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic meet the definition of a lease modification.  Accordingly, the Partnership accounted for qualifying rent concessions as negative variable lease payments, which reduced revenue from such leases in the period the concessions were granted.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 2021, the Partnership signed a term sheet for the renewal and modification of its existing line of credit. The agreement extends the credit line for three years with one 12-month extension. The commitment amount is for $25 million but is restricted to $17 million during the modification period. The modification period covers the current period and phases out by December 31, 2022. During this period, the loan covenants are modified from a minimum consolidated debt service ratio of 1.60 to a ratio of 1.35 until September 30, 2022; from a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $200 million to a net worth of $175 million until September 30, 2022; from a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 65% to a ratio of 70% until September 30, 2022 and from a minimum debt yield of 9.5% to a yield of 8.5% until September 30, 2022 and a yield of 9.0% until December 31, 2022. Once the financial performance of the Partnership meets the original covenant tests for the trailing 12-month period, the commitment amount will return to $25 million.The interest rate for the new term has been reduced from LIBOR plus 350 basis points to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Additionally, the unused fee has been eliminated. There is a fee $125,000 to modify and extend the credit line.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward Looking Statements

Certain information contained herein includes forward looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Liquidation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Forward looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in written form from time to time, reflect management’s good faith belief when those statements are made, and are based on information currently available to management. Caution should be exercised in interpreting and relying on such forward looking statements, the realization of which may be impacted by known and unknown risks and uncertainties, events that may occur subsequent to the forward looking statements, and other factors which may be beyond the Partnership’s control and which can materially affect the Partnership’s actual

25

results, performance or achievements for 2021 and beyond. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties mentioned below materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.

Since the Partnership’s long-term goals include the acquisition of additional properties, a portion of the proceeds from the refinancing and sale of properties is reserved for this purpose. If available acquisitions do not meet the Partnership’s investment criteria, the Partnership may purchase additional depositary receipts. The Partnership will consider refinancing existing properties if the Partnership’s cash reserves are insufficient to repay existing mortgages or if the Partnership needs additional funds for future acquisitions.

More than one year has passed since we became aware of the current outbreak of COVID- 19, a novel strain of coronavirus. The World Health Organization declared a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. On March 10, 2020 the governor of Massachusetts, Charlie Baker, declared a state of emergency and ordered all non-essential businesses closed and prohibited the gathering of 10 or more people. Additionally, March of 2020 saw the closure of local colleges and universities for the balance of the academic year. Colleges in the City of Boston and the surrounding communities conducted classes in the 2020/2021 academic year remotely, or using a hybrid model of remote and limited in class learning. These educational models caused a large decrease in the student population and resulted in significant vacancies in the Partnership’s apartment portfolio.

With the introduction and roll out of Covid vaccines in the spring of 2021, the economy is opening back up. The Governor of Massachusetts rescinded the State’s Covid-19 restrictions on May 29^th and terminated the State of Emergency on June 15^th. The local colleges and universities announced a return to campus in the fall of 2021 and the rental market improved significantly as students prepare to return to the area.

Vacancy rates for the Partnership’s residential properties as of August 1, 2021 were 3.3% as compared with a vacancy rate of 6.3% as of August 1, 2020. The vacancy rate for the Joint Venture properties as of August 1, 2021 is 2.8%, as compared to 3.9% for the same period last year.

Residential tenants generally have lease terms of 12 months. The majority of these leases will mature during the second and third quarters of the year. Rental activity has been strong as we moved from spring to summer and all indications are that we will have low vacancy rates for the balance of the year. However, with the uncertainty that exists with the new variants of the Covid-19 virus, we are unable to project the financial performance of the portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2021, rents increased on average of 1.2% for renewals and decreased on average of 4.0% for new leases. For the balance of 2021, due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, management expects a significant softening of the local real estate market and is experiencing a decrease in rent and continuing rent concessions.

For the second quarter of 2021, consolidated revenue decreased by 2.0%, operating expenses decreased by 0.5% and Income before Other Income (Expense) decreased by 5.8%. For the same reporting period, vacancy was 3.3% in 2021 vs 6.3% in 2020.

During the covid crisis, The Hamilton Company, the Partnership’s property manager, has taken steps to maintain the safety of its employees and tenants. Hamilton is providing essential services to ensure all properties are kept open, fully functioning and safe. Hamilton has implemented a work from home policy with a skeleton staff present at all site offices to provide for property management, maintenance, leasing and construction services. Leasing is limited to unoccupied units unless permission is granted by the current tenant and a web based video technology is being used to remotely show apartments. Hamilton and the Partnership will continue to adjust their s business practices to comply with Federal and State mandates for workplace and rental property operations.

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was

26

extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension in 2017 were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension. Management has a signed term sheet with the lender and is working to close on a three year extension and modification of the line of credit in August 2021. See Note 17. Subsequent Events for details.

On March 31, 2020, Nera Brookside Associates, LLC (“Brookside Apartments”), entered into a Mortgage Note with KeyBank National Associates ( KeyBank) in the principal amount of $6,175,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.53% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on March 31, 2035. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Brookside apartment complex located at 5-12 Totman Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2020. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated March 31, 2020. Brookside Apartments used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately $2,390,000, with the remaining portion of the proceeds were added to cash reserves. In connection with this refinancing, there were closing costs of approximately $132,000.

From the start of the Stock Repurchase Program in 2007 through March 31, 2021, the Partnership has purchased 1,428,437 Depositary Receipts. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership did not purchase any Depositary Receipts. In March of 2020, the Board of Advisors and Board of Directors unanimously approved an extension of the Repurchase Program until March 31, 2025. Given the economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus issue, as of April 15, 2020, the Partnership has elected to temporarily suspend the repurchase program.

At August 1, 2021, the Harold Brown related entities and Ronald Brown collectively own approximately 30.9% of the Depositary Receipts representing the Partnership Class A Units (including Depositary Receipts held by trusts for the benefit of such persons’ family members). The Estate of Harold Brown also controls 75% of the Partnership’s Class B Units, and 75% of the capital stock of NewReal, Inc. (“NewReal”), the Partnership’s sole general partner. Ronald Brown also owns 25% of the Partnership’s Class B Units and 25% of NewReal’s capital stock. In addition, Ronald Brown is the President and director of NewReal and Jameson Brown is NewReal’s Treasurer and a director. The 75% of the issued and outstanding Class B units of the Partnership, controlled by the Estate of Harold Brown, are owned by HBC Holdings LLC, an entity of which Jameson Brown is the manager. The outstanding stock of The Hamilton Company, Inc. is controlled by Jameson Brown and Harley Brown.

In addition to the Management Fee, the Partnership Agreement further provides for the employment of outside professionals to provide services to the Partnership and allows NewReal to charge the Partnership for the cost of employing professionals to assist with the administration of the Partnership’s properties. Additionally, from time to time, the Partnership pays Hamilton for repairs and maintenance services, legal services, construction services and accounting services. The costs charged by Hamilton for these services are at the same hourly rate charged to all entities managed by Hamilton, and management believes such rates are competitive in the marketplace.

Residential tenants sign a one year lease. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, tenant renewals were approximately 67% with an average rental increase of approximately 1.0%, new leases accounted for approximately 33% with rental rate decreases of approximately 4.4%. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, leasing commissions were approximately $308,000 compared to approximately $159,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase of approximately $149,000 (94.2%). Tenant concessions were approximately $15,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $18,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $3,000 (15.7%). Tenant improvements were approximately $746,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to approximately $897,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $151,000 (16.8%).

Hamilton accounted for approximately 2.5% of the repair and maintenance expenses paid for by the Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2.5 % during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Of the funds paid to Hamilton for this purpose, the great majority was to cover the cost of services provided by the Hamilton maintenance department, including plumbing, electrical, carpentry services, and snow removal for those properties close to Hamilton’s headquarters. Several of the larger Partnership properties have their own maintenance staff. Those properties that do not have their own maintenance staff and are located more than a reasonable distance from Hamilton’s headquarters in Allston, Massachusetts are generally serviced by local, independent companies.

27

Hamilton’s legal department handles most of the Partnership’s eviction and collection matters. Additionally, it prepares most long-term commercial lease agreements and represents the Partnership in selected purchase and sale transactions. Overall, Hamilton provided approximately $59,000 (67.5%) and approximately $64,000 (65.9%) of the legal services paid for by the Partnership during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 respectively.

Additionally, as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, The Hamilton Company receives similar fees from the Investment Properties.

The Partnership requires that three bids be obtained for construction contracts in excess of $15,000. Hamilton may be one of the three bidders on a particular project and may be awarded the contract if its bid and its ability to successfully complete the project are deemed appropriate. For contracts that are not awarded to Hamilton, Hamilton charges the Partnership a construction supervision fee equal to 5% of the contract amount. Hamilton’s architectural department also provides services to the Partnership on an as-needed basis. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Hamilton provided the Partnership approximately $302,000 in construction and architectural services, compared to approximately $305,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Hamilton’s accounting staff perform bookkeeping and accounting functions for the Partnership. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Hamilton charged the Partnership $62,500 for bookkeeping and accounting services. For more information on related party transactions, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Partnership to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Partnership regularly and continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties and its investments in and advances to joint ventures. The Partnership bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about such matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Principles of Consolidation.

Revenue Recognition: Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue from commercial leases also include reimbursements and recoveries received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement. The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Rental concessions are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease amounts are accounted for as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Partnership evaluates the non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues). If both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component. The Partnership elected an allowed practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include

28

common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Rental Property Held for Sale: When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Partnership decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying value before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Partnership allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values above and below market leases and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter

29

management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Investments in Joint Ventures: The Partnership accounts for its 40%-50% ownership in the Investment Properties under the equity method of accounting, as it exercises significant influence over, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s share in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the Partnership is included on the consolidated statements of income. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits.

The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that equity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

With respect to investments in and advances to the Investment Properties, the Partnership looks to the underlying properties to assess performance and the recoverability of carrying amounts for those investments in a manner similar to direct investments in real estate properties. An impairment charge is recorded if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.

Legal Proceedings: The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it is determined that a loss is likely to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is recorded in the financial statements. Both the amount of the loss and the point at which its occurrence is considered likely can be difficult to determine.

Rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $15,333,000, compared to approximately $15,647,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $314,000 (2.0%). Although rental income has increased at a number of properties, due to the effect of the Pandemic, a number of properties incurred a decrease in their rental income. The Partnership properties with the largest increases in rental income include Hamilton Oaks, Hamilton Green and Hamilton Cypress with increases of $33,000, $32,000, and $24,000 respectively. These are offset by certain properties with the largest decreases in rental income, which include 62 Boylston, 1144 Commonwealth, and Lincoln Street, with decreases of approximately $610,000, 168,000, and $60,000, respectively. Included in rental income is contingent rentals collected on commercial properties. Contingent rentals include such charges as bill backs of common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and utility charges.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were approximately $11,260,000 compared to approximately $11,315,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $55,000 (0.5%). The factors contributing to the decrease are a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $658,000 (14.3%), partially offset by an increase in repairs and maintenance of approximately $285,000 (13.9%), an increase in operating costs of approximately $116,000 ( 9.0%) and an increase in renting expense of approximately $93,000 (72.1%).

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $3,379,000 compared to approximately $3,424,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $45,000 (1.3%).

At June 30, 2021, the Partnership has between a 40% and 50% ownership interests in seven different Investment Properties. See a description of these properties included in the section titled Investment Properties as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of the financial information of each Investment Property.

As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s share of the net loss from the Investment Properties was approximately $238,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to the net income of approximately $444,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease in income of approximately $682,000 (153.7%). This decrease is primarily due to the reduction in rental revenue from approximately $ 2,617,000 to $2,142,000, a decrease of approximately $475,000 (18.2 %) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Included in the income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $656,000.

32

As a result of the changes discussed above, the net income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $570,000 compared to net income of approximately $1,465,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease in income of approximately $895,000 (61.1 %).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2020:

The factors contributing to this net decrease are a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $ 1,318,000 (14.4%) due to fully depreciated assets, partially offset by an increase in operating costs of approximately $493,000 (16.7%), an increase in repairs and maintenance expenses of approximately $169,000 (4.1%), and an increase in renting expense of approximately $158,000 (48.5%).

33

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $6,743,000 compared to approximately $6,874,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease of approximately $131,000 (1.9%). The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on the line of credit of approximately $82,000.

At June 30, 2021, the Partnership has between a 40% and 50% ownership interests in seven different Investment Properties. See a description of these properties included in the section titled Investment Properties as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of the financial information of each Investment Property.

As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s share of the net loss from the Investment Properties was approximately $564,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to net income of approximately $919,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease in income of approximately $1,482,000 (161.4%). This decrease is primarily due to the reduction in rental revenue from approximately $ 5,372,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 to approximately $4,215,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of approximately $1,157,000 (21.5 %). Included in the income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1,308,000. The proportional loss for the six months ended June 30, 2021 from the investment in Dexter Park is approximately $459,000.

As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $276,000 compared to income of approximately $2,834,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a decrease in net income of approximately $2,558,000 (90.3%).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership’s principal source of cash during the first six months of 2021 was the collection of rents. The Partnership’s principal source of cash during the first six months of 2020 was the collection of rents and the proceeds from the refinancing of Brookside Apartments. The majority of cash and cash equivalents of $23,367,387 at June 30, 2021 and $18,646,972 at December 31, 2020 were held in interest bearing accounts at creditworthy financial institutions.

The increase in cash of $4,720,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is summarized as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2021		2020
Cash provided by operating activities	$	9,168,975	$	9,524,873
Cash (used in) investing activities		(985,258)		(454,059)
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities		(1,125,589)		1,510,950
Repurchase of Depositary Receipts, Class B and General Partner Units		—		(394,031)
Distributions paid		(2,337,721)		(2,338,034)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	4,720,407	$	7,849,699

The change in cash provided by operating activities is due to various factors, including a change in depreciation expense due to recent acquisitions, a change in income and distribution from joint ventures, and other factors. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to improvements to rental properties. The change in cash used in financing activities is due to the pay down of mortgages,

During 2021, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships have completed improvements to certain of the Properties at a total cost of approximately $1,385,000. These improvements were funded from cash reserves. Cash reserves have been adequate to fully fund improvements. The most significant improvements were made at 62 Boylston Street, Hamilton Oaks, Redwood Hills, Dean Street Associates, Hamilton Green and 1144 Commonwealth, at a cost of approximately $355,000, 145,000, $123,000, $95,000, $95,000 and $84,000 respectively.

On March 31, 2020, Nera Brookside Associates, LLC (“Brookside Apartments”), entered into a Mortgage Note with KeyBank National Associates ( KeyBank) in the principal amount of $6,175,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.53% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on March 31, 2035. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Brookside apartment complex located at 5-12 Totman Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2020. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated March 31, 2020. Brookside Apartments used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately $2,390,000, with the remaining portion of the proceeds added to cash reserves. In connection with this refinancing, there were closing costs of approximately $136,000.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership received distributions of approximately $419,000 from the investment properties. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership received $1,066,000 in distributions from the investment properties. Included in these net distributions is the amount from Dexter Park of approximately $80,000 and $700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In January 2021, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $9.60 per Unit ($0.32 per Receipt), which was paid on March 31, 2021. In April 2021, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $9.60 per Unit ($0.32 per Receipt), which was paid on June 30, 2021.

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension in 2017 were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension.

35

Management has a signed term sheet with the lender and is working to close on a three year extension and modification of the line of credit in August 2021. See Note 17. Subsequent Events for details.

On December 19, 2019, the Partnership drew down on the line of credit in the amount of $20,000,000, used in conjunction with the purchase of Mill Street Apartments. On December 20, 2019, the Partnership paid down $2,000,000. On January 22, 2020, the Partnership paid down the line by $1,000,000. As of June 30, 2021, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of $17,000,000.

The Partnership anticipates that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund its current operations, pay distributions, make required debt payments and finance current improvements to its properties. The Partnership may also sell or refinance properties. The Partnership’s net income and cash flow may fluctuate dramatically from year to year as a result of the sale or refinancing of properties, property improvements, increases or decreases in rental income or expenses, or the loss of significant tenants.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Joint Venture Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2021 the Partnership had a 40%-50% ownership interest in seven Joint Ventures, five of which have mortgage indebtedness. We do not have control of these partnerships and therefore we account for them using the equity method of consolidation. At June 30, 2021, our proportionate share of the non-recourse debt related to these investments was approximately $70,972,000. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Excluding unamortized deferred financing costs

We have various standing or renewable service contracts with vendors related to our property management. In addition, we have certain other contracts we enter into in the ordinary course of business that may extend beyond one year. These contracts are not included as part of our contractual obligations because they include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

See Notes 5 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of mortgage notes payable. The Partnerships has no other material contractual obligations to be disclosed.

Factors That May Affect Future Results

Along with risks detailed in Item 1A and from time to time in the Partnership’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, some factors that could cause the Partnership’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements include but are not limited to the following:

● The Partnership depends on the real estate markets where its properties are located, primarily in Eastern Massachusetts, and these markets may be adversely affected by local economic market conditions, which are beyond the Partnership’s control.

● The Partnership is subject to the general economic risks affecting the real estate industry, such as dependence on tenants’ financial condition, the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on terms favorable to tenants in order to generate rental revenues and our ability to collect rents from our tenants.

● The Partnership is also impacted by changing economic conditions making alternative housing arrangements more or less attractive to the Partnership’s tenants, such as the interest rates on single family home mortgages and the availability and purchase price of single family homes in the Greater Boston metropolitan area.

● The Partnership is subject to significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property.

● The Partnership is subject to increases in heating and utility costs that may arise as a result of economic and market conditions and fluctuations in seasonal weather conditions.

● Civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters may result in uninsured or underinsured losses.

● Actual or threatened terrorist attacks may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties.

37

● Financing or refinancing of Partnership properties may not be available to the extent necessary or desirable, or may not be available on favorable terms.

● The Partnership properties face competition from similar properties in the same market. This competition may affect the Partnership’s ability to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents that can be charged.

● Given the nature of the real estate business, the Partnership is subject to potential environmental liabilities. These include environmental contamination in the soil at the Partnership’s or neighboring real estate, whether caused by the Partnership, previous owners of the subject property or neighbors of the subject property, and the presence of hazardous materials in the Partnership’s buildings, such as asbestos, lead, mold and radon gas. Management is not aware of any material environmental liabilities at this time.

● Insurance coverage for and relating to commercial properties is increasingly costly and difficult to obtain. In addition, insurance carriers have excluded certain specific items from standard insurance policies, which have resulted in increased risk exposure for the Partnership. These include insurance coverage for acts of terrorism and war, and coverage for mold and other environmental conditions. Coverage for these items is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

● Market interest rates could adversely affect market prices for Class A Partnership Units and Depositary Receipts as well as performance and cash flow.

● Changes in income tax laws and regulations may affect the income taxable to owners of the Partnership. These changes may affect the after-tax value of future distributions.

● The Partnership may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties; may develop or acquire properties that do not produce a desired or expected yield on invested capital; may be unable to sell poorly- performing or otherwise undesirable properties quickly; or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties.

● Risk associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments.

● Competition for acquisitions may result in increased prices for properties.

● Any weakness identified in the Partnership’s internal controls as part of the evaluation being undertaken could have an adverse effect on the Partnership’s business.

● Ongoing compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may require additional personnel or systems changes.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive or as an admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures made by the Partnership prior to the date hereof or the effectiveness of said Act. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Partnership is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Partnership’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

As of June 30, 2021, the Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have approximately $450,608,000 in long-term debt, substantially all of which require payment of interest at fixed rates. Accordingly, the fair value of these debt instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. This long term debt matures through 2035. The Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have

38

variable rate debt of $27,000,000 (without taking out unamortized deferred financing costs) as of June 30, 2021. Interest rates ranged from LIBOR plus 195 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points. Assuming interest-rate caps are not in effect, if market rates of interest on the Partnership’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Partnership’s variable rate debt would be approximately $220,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Partnership’s fixed rate debt as of June 30, 2021 would be approximately $16.9 million. For information regarding the fair value and maturity dates of these debt obligations, See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements — “Mortgage Notes Payable,” Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements — “Fair Value Measurements” and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements — “Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.”

For additional disclosure about market risk, see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Affect Future Results”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2021 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impacts to our internal control over financial reporting as a result of a majority or our office employees working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing our internal control environment to ensure that our controls continue to be designed effectively and continue to operate effectively throughout the duration of the pandemic.

On August 20, 2007, NewReal, Inc., the General Partner authorized an equity repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”) under which the Partnership was permitted to purchase, over a period of twelve months, up to 300,000 Depositary Receipts (each of which is one-tenth of a Class A Unit). Over time, the General Partner has authorized increases in the equity repurchase program. On March 10, 2015, the General Partner authorized an increase in the Repurchase Program from 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 Depository Receipts and extended the Program for an additional five years from March 31, 2015 until March 31, 2020. On March 9, 2020, the General Partner extended the program for an additional five years from March 31, 2020 to March 31, 2025.The Repurchase Program requires the Partnership to repurchase a proportionate number of Class B Units and General Partner Units in connection with any repurchases of any Depositary Receipts by the Partnership based upon the 80%, 19% and 1% fixed distribution percentages of the holders of the Class A, Class B and General Partner Units under the Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership. Repurchases of Depositary Receipts or Partnership Units pursuant to the Repurchase Program may be made by the Partnership from time to time in its sole discretion in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. From August 20, 2007 through June 30, 2021, the Partnership has repurchased 1,428,437 Depositary Receipts at an average price of $28.43 per receipt (or $852.90 per underlying Class A Unit), 3,572 Class B Units and 188 General Partnership Units, both at an average price of $1,033.00 per Unit, totaling approximately $44,718,000 including brokerage fees paid by the Partnership.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership did not purchase any Depositary Receipts. Given the economic uncertainty caused by the coronavirus issue, as of April 15, 2020, the Partnership elected to temporarily suspend the repurchase program.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977. NERA and its subsidiaries own 29 properties which include 21 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex. These properties total 2,892 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 108,043 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40 - 50% interest in 7 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 688 apartment units, 12,500 square feet of commercial space and a 50 car parking lot. The properties are located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgements and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NERA and its subsidiaries. NERA has a 99.67% to 100% ownership interest in each subsidiary except for the seven limited liability companies (the “Investment Properties” or “Joint Ventures”) in which the Partnership has a 40 - 50% ownership interest. The consolidated group is referred to as the “Partnership”. Minority interests are not recorded, since they are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the above-mentioned Investment Properties using the equity method of consolidation. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. In 2013 and beyond, the carrying values of some investments fell below zero. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that equity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the

variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Revenue Recognition: Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue from commercial leases also include reimbursements and recoveries received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement. The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Rental concessions are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease amounts are accounted for as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Partnership evaluates the non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues). If both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component. The Partnership elected an allowed practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions which improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Partnership allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the

Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Leasing Fees: Leasing fees are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Unamortized balances are expensed when the corresponding fee is no longer applicable.

Deferred Financing Costs: Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was approximately $120,000 and $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes: The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes have been recorded (See Note 13).

Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Segment Reporting: Operating segments are revenue producing components of the Partnership for which separate financial information is produced internally for management. Under the definition, NERA operated, for all periods presented, as one segment.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as changes in partners’ equity, exclusive of transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). NERA did not have any comprehensive income items in 2021 or 2020 other than net income as reported.

Income (Loss) Per Depositary Receipt: Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth (1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership. All references to Depositary Receipts in the report are reflective of the 3- for-1 forward split.

Income Per Unit: Net income per unit has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during each period presented. The Partnership has no dilutive units and, therefore, basic net income is the same as diluted net income per unit (see Note 7: Partner’s Capital).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s properties are located in New England, and the Partnership is subject to the general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more

than 5% of the Partnership’s revenues in 2021 or 2020. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2021, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.01% to 0.03%. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively approximately $23,473,000, and $18,830,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits included in prepaid expenses and other assets exceeded federally insured amounts.

Advertising Expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $154,569 and $145,803 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Rental Property Held for Sale: When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

Interest Capitalized: The Partnership follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of rental property when the time of construction exceeds one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 there was no capitalized interest.

Extinguishment of Debt: When existing mortgages are refinanced with the same lender and it is determined that the refinancing is substantially different, then they are recorded as an extinguishment of debt. However if it is determined that the refinancing is substantially the same, then they are recorded as an exchange of debt. All refinancing qualify as extinguishment of debt.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 5. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the mortgages payable consisted of various loans, all of which were secured by first mortgages on properties referred to in Note 2. At June 30, 2021, the interest rates on these loans ranged from 3.53% to 5.66%, payable in monthly installments aggregating approximately $1,257,000 including principal, to various dates through 2035. The majority of the mortgages are subject to prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the above mortgages was 4.43%. The effective rate of 4.51% includes the amortization expense of deferred financing costs. See Note 12 for fair value information. The Partnership’s mortgage debt and the mortgage debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse except for customary exceptions pertaining to misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

Financing fees of approximately $1,225,000 and $1,345,000 are net of accumulated amortization of approximately $1,684,000 and $1,564,000 at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which offset the total mortgage notes payable.

The Partnership has pledged tenant leases as additional collateral for certain of these loans.

On March 31, 2020, Nera Brookside Associates, LLC (“Brookside Apartments”), entered into a Mortgage Note with KeyBank National Associates ( KeyBank) in the principal amount of $6,175,000. Interest only payments on the Note are payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of 3.53% per annum, and the principal amount of the Note is due and payable on April 1, 2035. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Brookside apartment complex located at 5-12 Totman Drive, Woburn, Massachusetts pursuant to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents and Security Agreement dated March 31, 2020. The Note is guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated March 31, 2020. Brookside Apartments used the proceeds of the loan to pay off an outstanding loan of approximately

$2,390,000, with the remaining portion of the proceeds added to cash reserves. In connection with this refinancing, there were closing costs of approximately $136,000.

Line of Credit

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension in 2017 were approximately $128,000. Prior to the line’s expiration in 2020, the Partnership exercised its option for a one-year extension until October 31, 2021. The Partnership paid an extension fee of approximately $37,500 in association with the extension. Management has a signed term sheet with the lender and is working to close on a three year extension and modification of the line of credit in August 2021.

The line of credit may be used for acquisition, refinancing, improvements, working capital and other needs of the Partnership. The line may not be used to pay distributions, make distributions or acquire equity interests of the Partnership.

The line of credit is collateralized by varying percentages of the Partnership’s ownership interest in 23 of its subsidiary properties and joint ventures. Pledged interests range from 49% to 100% of the Partnership’s ownership interest in the respective entities.

The Partnership paid fees to secure the line of credit. Any unused balance of the line of credit is subject to a fee ranging from 15 to 20 basis points per annum. The Partnership paid approximately $6,000 in fees for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

On December 19, 2019, the Partnership drew down on the line of credit in the amount of $20,000,000, used in conjunction with the purchase of Mill Street Apartments.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

From time to time, the Partnership is involved in various ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. The Partnership either has insurance coverage or provides for any uninsured claims when appropriate. The Partnership is not involved in any material pending legal proceedings.

The Massachusetts economy has opened significantly since the spring of 2021 with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the state of emergency. Colleges and universities are scheduled to resume on-campus learning in the fall. Vacancy rates at the Partnership’s properties are back in line with pre-COVID levels. However, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to spread as new variants emerge even as the percentage of the population who have been vaccinated increases. There is considerable uncertainty as to when the pandemic will end and what effects it will have on the economy as it continues. The COVID-19 pandemic may cause financial hardships to our residential and commercial tenants leading to their inability to pay rent. The pandemic may also cause reduced demand for our commercial space and residential units which would have a negative impact on the Partnership’s financial performance.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and note payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we estimated the fair value of our mortgages payable and other notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available. We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt that does not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired. The secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

● For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, investment in partnerships, accounts payable, advance rents and security deposits: fair value approximates the carrying value of such assets and liabilities.

● For mortgage notes payable: fair value is generally based on estimated future cash flows, which are discounted using the quoted market rate from an independent source for similar obligations. Refer to the table below for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of such instruments.

The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our debt.

		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Mortgage Notes Payable
Partnership Properties
At June 30, 2021	*	$	282,438,864	$	299,691,938

* Net of unamortized deferred financing costs

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2021 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

TAXABLE INCOME AND TAX BASIS

NOTE 13. TAXABLE INCOME AND TAX BASIS

Taxable income reportable by the Partnership and includable in its partners’ tax returns is different than financial statement income because of tax free exchanges, different depreciation methods, different tax lives, other items with limited tax deductibility and timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets at significant acquisitions. Federal taxable income of approximately $8,578,000 was approximately $7,153,000 more than statement income for the year ended December 31, 2020.The Federal cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2020 is approximately $7,332,000 more than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the difference in tax basis are tax free exchanges, accelerated depreciation and bonus depreciation. The Partnership’s Federal tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $1,476,000 more than statement basis. State taxable income may be significantly different due to different tax treatments for certain items.

Certain entities included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are subject to certain state taxes. These taxes are not significant and are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidates financial statements.

The Partnership adopted the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. As a result of the implementation of the guidance, the Partnership recognized no material adjustment regarding its tax accounting treatment. The Partnership expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which would be included in general and administrative expense.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

NOTE 15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

Effective January 1, 2019, employees of the Partnership, who meet certain minimum age and service requirements, are eligible to participate in the Management Company’s 401(k) Plan (the “401(k) Plan”).  Eligible employees may elect to defer up to 90 percent of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis to the 401(k) Plan, subject to certain limitations imposed by federal law. 

The amounts cxontributed by employees are immediately vested and non-forfeitable.  Beginning January 1, 2019, the Partnership matched 50% up to 6% of compensation deferred by each employee in the 401(k) plan. The Partnership may make discretionary matching or profit-sharing contributions to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of eligible participants in any plan year.  Participants are always 100 percent vested in their pre-tax contributions and will begin vesting in any matching or profit-sharing contributions made on their behalf after two years of service with the Partnership at a rate of 20 percent per year, becoming 100 percent vested after a total of six years of service with the Partnership. Total expense recognized by the Partnership for the 401(k) Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $22,000.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

NOTE 16. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question & Answer (“Q&A”) which was intended to reduce the challenges of evaluating the enforceable rights and obligations of leases for concessions granted to lessees in response to the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic. Prior to this guidance, the Partnership was required to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession should be accounted for as a lease modification, potentially resulting in any lease concessions granted being recorded as a reduction to revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of the leases. The Q&A allows both lessors and lessees to bypass this analysis and elect not to evaluate whether concessions provided in response to the COVID-19 pandemic are lease modifications. This relief is subject to certain conditions being met, including ensuring the total remaining lease payments are substantially the same or less as compared to the original lease payments prior to the concession being granted. The Partnership has elected to apply such relief and will therefore not evaluate if lease concessions that were granted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic meet the definition of a lease modification.  Accordingly, the Partnership accounted for qualifying rent concessions as negative variable lease payments, which reduced revenue from such leases in the period the concessions were granted.

NOTE 17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 30, 2021, the Partnership signed a term sheet for the renewal and modification of its existing line of credit. The agreement extends the credit line for three years with one 12-month extension. The commitment amount is for $25 million but is restricted to $17 million during the modification period. The modification period covers the current period and phases out by December 31, 2022. During this period, the loan covenants are modified from a minimum consolidated debt service ratio of 1.60 to a ratio of 1.35 until September 30, 2022; from a minimum tangible net worth requirement of $200 million to a net worth of $175 million until September 30, 2022; from a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of 65% to a ratio of 70% until September 30, 2022 and from a minimum debt yield of 9.5% to a yield of 8.5% until September 30, 2022 and a yield of 9.0% until December 31, 2022. Once the financial performance of the Partnership meets the original covenant tests for the trailing 12-month period, the commitment amount will return to $25 million.The interest rate for the new term has been reduced from LIBOR plus 350 basis points to LIBOR plus 300 basis points. Additionally, the unused fee has been eliminated. There is a fee $125,000 to modify and extend the credit line.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business

Line of Business: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977. NERA and its subsidiaries own 29 properties which include 21 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex. These properties total 2,892 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 108,043 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40 - 50% interest in 7 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 688 apartment units, 12,500 square feet of commercial space and a 50 car parking lot. The properties are located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation: The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgements and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NERA and its subsidiaries. NERA has a 99.67% to 100% ownership interest in each subsidiary except for the seven limited liability companies (the “Investment Properties” or “Joint Ventures”) in which the Partnership has a 40 - 50% ownership interest. The consolidated group is referred to as the “Partnership”. Minority interests are not recorded, since they are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the above-mentioned Investment Properties using the equity method of consolidation. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. In 2013 and beyond, the carrying values of some investments fell below zero. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”). Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that equity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the

variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

Impairment

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries may be impaired. In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment. The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property. The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition: Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Revenue from commercial leases also include reimbursements and recoveries received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement. The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Rental concessions are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases. The capitalized above-market lease amounts are accounted for as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The Partnership evaluates the non-lease components (lease arrangements that include common area maintenance services) with related lease components (lease revenues). If both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for the non-lease component and related lease component, the lease component is the predominant component. The Partnership elected an allowed practical expedient. For (i) operating lease arrangements involving real estate that include common area maintenance services and (ii) all real estate arrangements that include real estate taxes and insurance costs, we present these amounts within lease revenues in our consolidated statements of income. We record amounts reimbursed by the lessee in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

Rental Properties

Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions which improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships. The Partnership allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values. The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction. In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the

Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant. Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses. Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals. The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Leasing Fees and Deferred Financing Costs

Leasing Fees: Leasing fees are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Unamortized balances are expensed when the corresponding fee is no longer applicable.

Deferred Financing Costs: Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was approximately $120,000 and $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes: The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes have been recorded (See Note 13).

Cash Equivalents

Cash Equivalents: The Partnership considers cash equivalents to be all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting: Operating segments are revenue producing components of the Partnership for which separate financial information is produced internally for management. Under the definition, NERA operated, for all periods presented, as one segment.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as changes in partners’ equity, exclusive of transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). NERA did not have any comprehensive income items in 2021 or 2020 other than net income as reported.

Income (Loss) Per Depositary Receipt

Income (Loss) Per Depositary Receipt: Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth (1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership. All references to Depositary Receipts in the report are reflective of the 3- for-1 forward split.

Income Per Unit

Income Per Unit: Net income per unit has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during each period presented. The Partnership has no dilutive units and, therefore, basic net income is the same as diluted net income per unit (see Note 7: Partner’s Capital).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s properties are located in New England, and the Partnership is subject to the general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more

than 5% of the Partnership’s revenues in 2021 or 2020. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2021, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.01% to 0.03%. At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively approximately $23,473,000, and $18,830,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits included in prepaid expenses and other assets exceeded federally insured amounts.

Advertising Expense

Advertising Expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $154,569 and $145,803 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Rental Property Held for Sale: When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

Rental Property Held for Sale

Rental Property Held for Sale: When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. The Partnership generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has received appropriate corporate authority, and there are no significant contingencies relating to the sale. If, in management’s opinion, the estimated net sales price, net of selling costs, of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the carrying value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established.

Interest Capitalized

Interest Capitalized: The Partnership follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of rental property when the time of construction exceeds one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 there was no capitalized interest.

Extinguishment of Debt

Extinguishment of Debt: When existing mortgages are refinanced with the same lender and it is determined that the refinancing is substantially different, then they are recorded as an extinguishment of debt. However if it is determined that the refinancing is substantially the same, then they are recorded as an exchange of debt. All refinancing qualify as extinguishment of debt.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation.
