Item 1. Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, changes in partners’ capital, and cash flows and related notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SeptemberJune 30, 20172020

(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 2629 properties which include 1821 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one1 condominium complex. These properties total 2,6322,892 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 108,043 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40- 50%40 - 50% interest in 97 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 739688 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 nine7 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).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 zero0 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


Table of Contents

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. Contingent rent forRevenue from commercial properties areleases 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. leases. The capitalized above-market lease valuesamounts are accounted for acquired properties are amortized 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.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract: the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, are capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the new standard remains generally consistent with existing guidance, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).

Under this standard, 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.

We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the

9

Table of Contents

beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We elected the allowable practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether arrangements contain leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact to the Partnership’s financial statements.

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

9


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: 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 $141,000$120,000 and $141,000$225,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, 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 one1 segment.

10

Table of Contents

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 20172020 or 20162019 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 20172020 or 2016.2019. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, 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 0.35%0.03%. At SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, respectively approximately $16,251,000,$15,636,000, and $8,911,000$7,407,000 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 $153,287$145,803 and $154,105$141,975 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, respectively.

10


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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 20162019 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 2. RENTAL PROPERTIES

As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships owned 2,6322,892 residential apartment units in 2225 residential and mixed-use complexes (collectively, the “Apartment Complexes”). The Partnership also owns 19 condominium units in a residential condominium complex, all of which are leased to residential tenants (collectively referred to as the “Condominium Units”). The Apartment Complexes and Condominium Units are located primarily in the metropolitan Boston area of Massachusetts.

Additionally, as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships owned a commercial shopping center in Framingham, commercial buildings in Newton and Brookline and mixed-use properties in Boston, Brockton and Newton, all in Massachusetts. These properties are referred to collectively as the “Commercial Properties.”

The Partnership also owned a 40% to 50% ownership interest in nine7 residential and mixed use complexes (the “Investment Properties”) at SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 with a total of 739688 apartment units, accounted for using the equity method of consolidation.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 20162019 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, 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 SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and December 31, 2016,2019, 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.

After the refinancing, the Joint Venture made a distribution of $1,610,000 to the Partnership. As a result of the distribution, the carrying value of the investment fell below zero. The Partnership will continue to account for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Although the Partnership has no legal obligation, the Partnership intends to fund its share of any future operating deficits if needed. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the balance of this mortgage before unamortized deferred financing costs is approximately $9,789,000.$9,253,000. This investment is referred to as 345 Franklin, LLC.

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 contributed 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, 2020 was $22,000.

NOTE 15.16. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2016,April 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, modifyinga Staff Question & Answer (“Q&A”) which was intended to reduce the principles forchallenges of evaluating the recognition, measurement, presentationenforceable rights and disclosureobligations of leases for both partiesconcessions granted to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lesseesin response to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases basedthe novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”), which was characterized on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchaseMarch 11, 2020 by the lessee.  This classification willWorld Health Organization as a pandemic. Prior to this guidance, the Partnership was required to determine, whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight linelease 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 termremaining 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 respectively.  A lesseemodifications. This relief is also requiredsubject to recordcertain 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 right-of-use assetlease 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

From July 1, 2020 through August 6, 2020, the Partnership purchased 0 Depository Receipts.

The current outbreak of the COVID-19 virus, which was characterized on March 11, 2020 by the World Health Organization as a pandemic, has currently resulted in a worldwide health crisis, which is adversely affecting international, national and local economies and financial markets generally, and continues to have an unprecedented effect on the rental housing and commercial property markets. Given the continuous evolution of the COVID-019 pandemic and the global response to curb its spread, the Partnership is not able to estimate the resulting effects on its results of operations, cash flows, financial condition, or liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020 or beyond.

The Government’s measures put into place to combat the spread of the virus have caused significant disruptions to life and business operations in Massachusetts, the country and the world. The length and severity of the current recession and the effects on the Partnership’s business are unknown at this time.

During the current state of emergency, 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.

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of September 30, 2017, the credit line had an outstanding balance of $25,000,000, which was used on July 6, 2017, in conjunction with a loan of $16,000,000 from HBC Holdings, LLC, a Massachusetts Limited Liability company controlled by Harold Brown, and cash reserves, to purchase Woodland Park Partners, LLC (“Woodland Park”). The loan from HBC was paid off on September 29, 2017 from the proceeds of the loan from Keybank.

The Line of Credit was paid down by $8,000,000 on October 5, 2017. The Line of Credit agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and has subsequently been extended until October 31, 2020. The cost associated with the extension will be approximately $125,000.

In October 2017, the Partnership announced that it will make its regular quarterly distribution and a special distribution to its Class A Limited Partners and holders of Depository Receipts of record as of December 15, 2017.

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 results, performance or achievements for 20172020 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.

The thirdcurrent outbreak of the COVID- 19, a novel strain of coronavirus, has resulted in the World Health Organization declaring a global pandemic on March 11, 2020. On March 10, 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. The Governor’s order has since been subsequently modified, but is currently in place for the foreseeable future. Additionally, March saw the closure of local colleges and universities for the balance of the academic year. On-campus summer programs were cancelled and discussions are underway as to how and if colleges and universities are to re-open in September.

The government’s measures put into place to combat the spread of the virus have caused significant disruptions to life and business operations in Massachusetts, the country and the world. The length and severity of the current recession and the effects on the Partnership’s business are unknown at this time.

Rental collections for the second quarter resultsfor the Partnership’s wholly owned properties were approximately 90% of rents due. Residential tenants paid approximately 92% of their rent and commercial tenants paid approximately 62% of theirs. Historically, commercial rents represent 5% of the Partnership’s revenue. The rent collections for the Joint Ventures were approximately 91%. The second quarters’ collections are not necessarily an indicator of future cash receipts. As of June 30, 2020, Gross rents receivable increased approximately $908,000 over the productMarch 31, 2020 balances.

Massachusetts has passed an emergency law to stop evictions during the Covid-19 state of monthsemergency. The moratorium on evictions has been extended through October 17, 2020.

Vacancy rates for the Partnership’s residential properties as of preparation leading upAugust 1, 2020 were 6.3% as compared with a vacancy rate of 3.2% as of August 1, 2019. With the uncertainties with the economy and the re-opening of Colleges and Universities in the fall, this year’s rental season started off slowly and has just recently started to improve. However, the inventory of unrented units is significantly higher than in past years. If these units are not rented prior to the heightend of September, it is likely that the Partnership will have a high number of vacancies for the balance of 2020.

Residential tenants generally have lease terms of 12 months. The majority of these leases will mature during the second and third quarters of the renewalyear. Given the current economic environment, it is not possible to estimate the amount of lease turnover we will experience or the amount of increases to or decreases from the current rental rates we

will realize with lease renewals or new leases. However,we are currently offering reduced rental rates and significant rent concessions at certain properties.

The Partnership currently leases approximately 15% of its apartment units and 57% of the Joint Venture apartment units to Students. If colleges and universities do not open in September, there is likely to be a significant effect on the occupancy rates and rental income of the Partnership.

During the current state of emergency, 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.

During the second quarter of 2020, rents increased on average of 3.6% for renewals and decreased on average of 0.1% for new lease season. Overall year to date revenue increases have surpassedleases. For the national average by a factorbalance of two according2020, due to the most recent Matrix Yardi Third Quarter National Report,ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, management expects a leadingsignificant softening of the local real estate market and commercial data platform. However, Management believesis experiencing a decrease in rent and more rent concessions.

For the fourthsecond quarter will revealof 2020, including the full impactpurchase of the revenue gains which will be sustained through June of 2018 and Management is confident these gains will be similar to 2017.  

               While the local economy is operating robustly and employment levels are higher than the national average, Management believes the higher than average annual rent increases of the past four to five years enjoyed by the Partnership are likely to soften in the third and fourth quarters of 2018. Management’s portfolio of apartment communities within the Partnership together with its other holdings provide  an excellent cross section of empirical operating data including occupancy levels and general demand for housing throughout eastern Massachusetts. Drawing on this wider pool of apartment experiences, Management believes the current growing supply in Greater Boston coupled with a straining rent affordability index has created head winds that will dampen rental increases for third and fourth quarters of 2018.  While demand is extremely high for most of the Partnership's properties due to its appeal to renters by necessity, Management believes the industry as a whole will take a pause before further significant revenue increases are warranted. 

                As noted in the financial presentation which includes the acquisition of Woodland Park,Mill Street, consolidated revenue increased by 5.97%5.1%, operating expenses increased by 8.7% and NOI (incomeIncome before other income, depreciationOther Income (Expense) decreased by 2.9%.

The Joint Ventures of Woodland Park, Same Store Revenue, Operating Expense, excluding depreciation and amortization and NOI grew by 4.2%, 2.8% and 5.4% respectively.  Our focus on all three phases of operations, Revenue, Expense and Capital Improvements is reflected in the above stated results.  Management believes these operating experiences will continue through the remainder of 2017 and first half of 2018.

                Unit sales at the Joint Venture properties located at 1025 Hancock Street and Hamilton Bay continuein 2019 sold out all remaining residential condominium units. 1025 Hancock sold 2 remaining units for a gain of approximately $306,000, and Hamilton Bay sold its 3 remaining units at a gain of approximately $429,000. The estimated profit to meet Management’s expectations.  A complete sellout, estimated at $25.6 million,the Partnership for the sale of these units from 2014 through 2019 is anticipatedapproximately $7,168,000.

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 occur bya 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 an applicable margin of 2.5%. The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was subsequently extended until October 31, 2020. Management is currently working with the lender on a three year end 2018. extension for the credit line. The costs associated with the line of credit extension were approximately $128,000. As of June 30, 2020, the credit line had an outstanding balance of $17,000,000.

As outlinedOn March 31, 2020, Nera Brookside Associates, LLC (“Brookside Apartments”), entered into a Mortgage Note with KeyBank National Associates ( KeyBank) in the most recent distribution announcementprincipal 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.

On December 20, 2019, Mill Street Gardens, LLC and Mill Street Development, LLC, collectively referred to as Mill Street, wholly-owned subsidiaries of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership closed on a Purchase Agreement dated as of September 27, 2019 with Ninety-Three Realty Limited Partnership pursuant to which Mill Street acquired Country Club Garden Apartments, a 181 unit apartment complex located at 57 Mill Street, Woburn, Massachusetts for an aggregate purchase price of $59,550,000 . Mill Street funded $18,000,000 of the purchase price out of an existing line of credit, $10,550,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price out of cash reserves and the remaining $31,000,000 from the proceeds of the Loan. The closing costs were approximately $237,000. From the purchase price,

the Partnership allocated approximately $1,282,000 for in- place leases, and approximately $136,000 to the value of tenant relationships. These amounts are being amortized over 12 and 36 months respectively.

On December 20, 2019, Mill Street entered into a Loan Agreement with Insurance Strategy Funding Corp. LLC providing for a loan in Octoberthe maximum principal amount of 2017,$35,000,000, consisting of an initial advance of $31,000,000 and a subsequent advance of up to $4,000,000 if certain conditions are met. Interest on the Note is payable on a monthly basis at a fixed interest rate of: (i) 3.586% per annum with respect to the initial advance and (ii) the greater of (A) the sum of the market spread rate and the interpolated (based on the remaining term of the Loan) US Treasury rate at the time of the advance and (B) 3.50% with respect to any subsequent advance. The principal amount of the Note is due and payable on January 1, 2035. The Note is secured by a mortgage on the Property and is guaranteed by the Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement dated December 20, 2019.

In May, 2019, the Partnership refinanced the Residences at Captain Parker. The prior mortgage of $20,071,000 had, at that time, a variable interest rate of 4.5%, which matured in February 2026, and had interest only payments until March 2021, with a thirty year amortization schedule thereafter. The new mortgage is for $20,750,000, with a fixed rate of 4.05%, maturing in 10 years, with interest only payments for the term of the loan. In connection with the refinancing, the partnership incurred a prepayment penalty of approximately $202,000.

From the start of the Stock Repurchase Program in 2007 through June 30, 2020, the Partnership has purchased 1,428,437 Depositary Receipts. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership purchased a total of 5,328 Depositary Receipts. The average price was $59.14 per receipt or $1,774.20 per unit. The total cost including commission was $315,216. The Partnership was required to repurchase 0.6 Class B Units and 0.03 General Partnership units at a cost of $775 and $41 respectively. In January 2019, the Partnership purchased 40,000 Depository Receipts from the former president of the management company. In March of 2020, the Board of Advisors has approved a regular distributionand Board of $9.00 per unit ($0.30 per receipt). Additionally, itDirectors unanimously approved a special distribution of $28.20 per unit ($0.94 per receipt).  The purposean extension of the special distribution is to provide a return toRepurchase Program until March 31, 2025. Given the Partners giveneconomic uncertainty caused by the expected substantial taxable incomecoronavirus issue, as of April 15, 2020, the Partnership will be experiencing through 2017.  Withouthas elected to temporarily suspend the special distribution, Management estimated that the quarterly distributions may have covered only the tax liability to the Partners and therefore yield only a negligible return after taxes.repurchase program.

The Stock Repurchase Program that was initiated in 2007 has purchased 1,365,306 Depositary Receipts through September 30, 2017 or approximately 32% of the outstanding Class A Depositary Receipts.  During the third quarter, the Partnership did not purchase any Depositary Receipts. Management anticipates purchases for 2017 to be less than 2016.

At NovemberAugust 1, 2017,2020, the Estate of Harold Brown and his brother Ronald Brown and the President of Hamilton, Carl Valeri, collectively own approximately 42%30.7% 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, 75% of the capital stock of NewReal, Inc. (“NewReal”), the Partnership’s sole general partner, and all of the outstanding stock of Hamilton. 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 HaroldJameson 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 heJameson Brown is the manager.

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 ninesix months ended September June 30, 2017,2020, tenant renewals were approximately 60%74% with an average rental increase of approximately 4.1%3.7%, new leases accounted for approximately 40%26% with rental rate increases of approximately 2.90.1 %.

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.

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 $178,000 (81.9%$64,000 (65.9%) and approximately $167,000 (86.1%$100,000 (80.5%) of the legal services paid for by the Partnership during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019 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 ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, Hamilton provided the Partnership approximately $137,000$305,000 in construction and architectural services, compared to approximately $158,000$189,000 for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019.

Hamilton’s accounting staff perform bookkeeping and accounting functions for the Partnership. During the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 and 2016,2019, Hamilton charged the Partnership $93,750$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. Concessions made on residentialRevenue 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.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 modifies the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract: the lessee and the lessor. ASU 2016-02 provides new guidelines that change the accounting for leasing arrangements for lessees, whereby their rights and obligations under substantially all leases, existing and new, are capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet. For lessors, however, the new standard remains generally consistent with existing guidance, but has been updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”).

Under this standard, 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.

We adopted this guidance for our interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, applying the transition provisions at the beginning of the period of adoption rather than at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We elected the allowable practical expedients as permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to not reassess whether arrangements contain leases, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The adoption of the lease standard did not result in a cumulative effect adjustment recognized in the opening balance of retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact to the Partnership’s financial statements.

RentalPropertyHeld 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

32

Table of Contents

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: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

28


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. The Partnership has not recognized an impairment loss during the first nine months of 2017.

Investments in Joint Ventures:The Partnership accounts for its 40%‑50%-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

33

Table of Contents

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.

Excluding the increase in operating expenses attributable to the acquisition of Woodland Parkat Mill Street of approximately $875,000, operating$1,346,000, Operating expenses increaseddecreased approximately $345,000 (3.9%$444,000 (4.3%). The.The factors contributing to this net increasethe decrease are an increasea decrease in repairs and maintenance expenses of approximately $300,000 (13.1%), a decrease in administrative expenses of approximately $ 131,000, (20.9%), and a decrease in renting expenses of approximately $122,000, (50.3%), partially offset by an increase in operating costs of approximately $ 219,000 (9.3%$90,000 (8.0%), and an increase in taxes and insurance  of approximately $162,000 (10.8%).

Interest expense for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 was approximately $3,047,000$3,423,000 compared to approximately $2,554,000$3,133,000 for the three months ended September June 30, 2016,2019, an increase of approximately $493,000 (19.3%$290,000 (9.3%). Excluding the increase in interest expense attributable to Woodland ParkMill Street of approximately $477,000,$281,000, there was an increase in interest expense of approximately $16,000.

As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s share of the net income from the Investment Properties was approximately $990,000$444,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, compared to net income of approximately $562,000$513,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,  an increase2019, a decrease in income of approximately $428,000 (76.0%$69,000 (13.5%). This increasedecrease is primarily due to athe reduction in the gain realized from the sales of condominium units of approximately $305,000 with the Partnership’s share amounting to 50%, on the sale of real estate of approximately $1,866,000 on the sale of 8 units at Hamilton Bay Apartments LLC, 72 units at Hamilton 1025 LLC, and 1 unit at Hamilton Bay LLC, compared to a gain of approximately $902,000 for the sale of 6 units at Hamilton 1025 LLC and 1 unit at Hamilton BayApartments LLC for the three monthsquarter ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016.2019, compared to no units sold in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Included in the income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $696,000.$650,000. The proportional income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 from the investment in Dexter Park is approximately $90,000.$283,000.

As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 was approximately $872,000$1,465,000 compared to income of approximately $1,211,000$1,764,000 for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2016,2019, a decrease in income of approximately $339,000 (28.0$299,000 (17.0 %).

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.

40

·

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.

·

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

37


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.

41

·

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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have approximately $360,154,000$453,020,000 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 2029.2035. The Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have variable rate debt of $30,071,000$27,000,000 (without taking out unamortized deferred financing costs) as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020. Interest rates ranged from LIBOR plus 201195 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points. Assuming interest- rateinterest-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 $301,000$220,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Partnership’s fixed rate debt as of SeptemberJune 30, 20172020 would be approximately $17$20 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.Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the thirdsecond quarter of 20172020 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.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

There are no material legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business, to which the Partnership is a party to or to which any of the Properties is subject.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There were nohave been a material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A, of our annual report on Form 10-K10K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.2019. The additional risk factor is as follows:

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the United States and global economies and we expect it will continue to adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and performance and that of our tenants.

Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is continually evolving and public health officials and governmental authorities, including those in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, the markets in which we operate, have reacted by taking measures such as prohibiting people from congregating in heavily populated areas, instituting quarantines, restricting travel, issuing “stay-at-home” orders, restricting the types of businesses that may continue to operate (including the types of construction projects that may proceed) and closing schools, among many others. Most of these restrictions began in earnest in March 2020 and they quickly had a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions around the world, including the United States and the markets in which our properties are located, and on us. It is possible that public health officials and governmental authorities in the markets in which we operate may impose additional restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19 or may relax or revoke existing restrictions too quickly, which could, in either case, exacerbate the severity of these adverse impacts on the economy. There is great uncertainty regarding the duration and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as possible future responses, which makes it impossible for us to predict with certainty the impact that COVID-19 will have on us and our tenants at this time. Factors related to COVID-19 that have had, or could have, a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, include:

a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action, which could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants;

reduced economic activity impacting the businesses, financial condition and liquidity of our tenants has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us, including their ability to make rental payments, in full or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations, including rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, or to declare bankruptcy;

the impact of new or continued complete or partial shutdowns of the operations of one or more of our commercial tenants’ businesses, including retail tenants, and parking operators, temporary or long-term disruptions in our commercial tenants’ supply chains from local, national and international suppliers or delays in the delivery of products, services or other materials necessary for our commercial tenants’ operations, could force these tenants to reduce, delay or eliminate offerings of their products and services, which could result in less revenue, income and cash flow, and possibly their bankruptcy or insolvency, which in turn could:

oreduce our cash flows,
oadversely impact our ability to finance, refinance or sell a property,
43
oadversely impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at current levels, or at all, and
oresult in additional legal and other costs to enforce our rights, collect rent and/or re-lease the space occupied by the distressed tenant;

the duration and scope of the mandatory business closures and “stay-at-home” orders have had, and are expected to continue to have, a severe negative impact on our commercial retail tenants that depend on in-person interactions with their customers to generate revenues and have resulted, and are expected to continue to result, in most retail tenants being unable to make timely rental payments in full or at all;

the extent to which COVID-19 decreases customers’ willingness to frequent, or prevents customers from frequenting, our tenants’ businesses in the future, may result in our retail tenants’ continued inability to make timely rental payments to us under their leases;

some of our residential and commercial tenants have approached us seeking either rent concessions, deferrals or abatements, and the extent to which we grant these requests or instead seek to enforce our legal remedies could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and cash flows;

the degree to which our commercial tenants’ businesses have been and continue to be negatively impacted may require us to write-off a tenant’s accrued rent balance and this could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity;

if new or existing actions or measures implemented to prevent the spread of COVID-19 continue to result in increasing unemployment, it may negatively affect the ability of our residential tenants to generate sufficient income to pay, or make them unwilling to pay rent, in full or at all, in a timely manner;

the impact of COVID-19 could result in an event or change in circumstances that results in an impairment in the value of our properties or our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and any such impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the periods in which the charge is taken;

owe may be unable to restructure or amend leases with certain of our tenants on terms favorable to us or at all;

the impact and validity of interpretations of lease provisions and related claims by tenants regarding their obligations to pay rent as a result of COVID-19, and any court rulings or decisions interpreting these provisions, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and liquidity;

restrictions intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 have limited, and are expected to continue to limit, our leasing activities, such as property tours, and may have a material adverse effect on our ability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease available space as leases expire in our properties on favorable terms, or at all;

COVID -19 has caused a material decline in general business activity and demand for real estate transactions, and if this persists, it would adversely affect our ability or desire to make strategic acquisitions or dispositions;

the impact of recent and future efforts by state, local, federal and industry groups to enact laws and regulations have restricted, and may further restrict, the ability of landlords, such as us, to collect rent, enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent, or otherwise enforce the terms of the lease agreements, such as a rent freeze for tenants or a suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions;

we may be unable to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a further disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our tenants’ and our access to capital and other sources of funding necessary to fund our respective operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis;

Table of Contents

the financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our future financial results, cash flows and financial condition could adversely impact our compliance with the financial covenants of our credit facility and other debt agreements and could result in an event of default and the acceleration of indebtedness, which could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations and our ability to make additional borrowings and pay dividends;

increased vulnerability to cyber-security threats and potential breaches, including phishing attacks, malware and impersonation tactics, resulting from the increase in numbers of individuals working from home;

the potential that business interruption, loss of rental income and/or other associated expenses related to our operations will not be covered in whole or in part by our insurance policies, which may increase unreimbursed liabilities;

if the health of our employees, particularly our key personnel and property management teams, are negatively impacted, we may be unable to ensure business continuity and be exposed to lawsuits from tenants;

if we choose not to pay dividends, our holders of depositary receipts may have to pay income taxes on the Partnership’s income without receiving a corresponding amount of cash;

uncertainly as to what conditions must be satisfied before government authorities lift “stay-at-home” orders and public health officials begin the process of gradually returning Americans to work and whether government authorities will impose (or suggest) requirements on landlords, such as us, to protect the health and safety of tenants and visitors to our buildings could result in increased operating costs and demands on our property management teams to ensure compliance with any such requirements, as well as increased costs associated with protecting against potential liability arising from these measures, such as claims by tenants that the measures violate their leases and claims by visitors that the measures caused them damages; and

limited access to our facilities, management, tenants, support staff and professional advisors could decrease the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, internal controls over financial reporting and other risk mitigation strategies, increase our susceptibility to security breaches, hamper our ability to comply with regulatory obligations and prevent us from conducting our business as efficiently and effectively as we otherwise would have.

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. TheOn 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 RestateRestated 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 SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2020, the Partnership has repurchased 1,365,3061,428,437 Depositary Receipts at an average price of $27.14$28.43 per receipt (or $814.20$852.90 per underlying Class A Unit), 3,0723,572 Class B Units and 162188 General Partnership Units, both at an average price of $926.26$1,033.00 per Unit, totaling approximately $40,274,000$44,718,000 including brokerage fees paid by the Partnership.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Partnership purchased a total of 5,328 Depositary Receipts. The average price was $59.14 per receipt or $1,774.20 per unit. The total cost including commission was $315,216. The Partnership was required to repurchase 42.18 Class B Units and 2.22 General Partnership units at a cost of $74,839 and $3,939 respectively.
