NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2025

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA”, the “Company” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977. NERA and its subsidiaries own 31 properties which include 22 residential buildings; 5 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 4 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex. These properties total 2,943 apartment units, 19 condominium units and approximately 130,000 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. Judgments 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 15: 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 15: 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

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. 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.

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.

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

Table of Contents

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. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, regulatory fees, interest, property taxes, insurance, construction oversight fees, and other project costs incurred during the period of development. The Partnership considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.

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 $95,000 and $95,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Derivative Instruments: The Partnership measures derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, at fair value and records them as an asset or liability, depending upon the Partnership’s rights or obligations under the applicable derivative contract. For derivatives designated and qualifying as fair value hedges, the changes in the fair value of both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recorded in earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as hedging and ineffective portions of hedges are recognized in earnings in the affected period.

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 has been recorded (See Note 14).

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

Investments in Treasury Bills: Investments in U.S. Treasury bills had been recorded at amortized cost and classified as held to maturity as the Partnership had the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying value of the Treasury bills were adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment. Income related to the Treasury bills is recognized in interest income in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of income. Management has reclassified the Treasury Bills to “available for sale”, as they may be sold in conjunction with the upcoming purchase of the Hill Estate Properties. See subsequent events Note 19. The carrying value approximates fair value.

Table of Contents

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.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss): Other comprehensive income (loss) includes items that are recorded in equity, such as effective portions of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges or unrealized holding gains or losses on marketable securities available for sale. NERA had a comprehensive loss of approximately $130,000 and comprehensive income of approximately $142,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

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: Partners’ 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 2025 or 2024. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At March 31, 2025, 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 4.3%. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, approximately $35,065,000, and $16,551,000 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 approximately $98,000 and $152,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 there was capitalized interest of approximately $149,000.

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 refinancings qualify as extinguishment of debt.

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

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, 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.

The Partnership has investments in U.S. Treasury bills, some of which mature over a period greater than 90 days and are classified as short-term investments. The U.S. Treasury bills were carried at amortized cost and classified as held to maturity as the Partnership has the intent and the ability to hold them until they mature. The carrying value of the U.S. Treasury bills were adjusted for accretion of discounts over the remaining life of the investment. Income related to the U.S. Treasury bills is recognized in interest income in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of income. The U.S. Treasury bills classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy. Management has reclassified the Treasury Bills to “available for sale”, as they may be sold in conjunction with the upcoming purchase of the Hill Estate Properties. See subsequent events Note 19. The carrying value approximates fair value.

At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 we estimated the fair value of our mortgage payable, derivative financial instrument, 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

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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. At March 31, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, the Partnership’s line of credit had an outstanding balance of zero.

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 and treasury bills: 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.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 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 March 31, 2025 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 13. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Partnership’s variable rate debt.

NOTE 14. 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 carryovers and timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets at significant acquisitions. Federal taxable income of approximately $21,102,000 was approximately $5,440,000 more than statement income for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Federal cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2024 is approximately $10,000,000 less than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the difference in tax basis are tax free exchanges, accelerated depreciation, bonus depreciation, and other timing differences. The Partnership’s Federal tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $1,000,000 more than statement basis. State taxable income may be significantly different due to different tax treatments for certain items. Substantial acquisitions placed in service could significantly change federal taxable income.

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 consolidated 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 March 31, 2025, the tax years that generally remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2021 forward.

NOTE 16. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT 401(k) PLANS

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. The Partnership matches 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 was $16,000.

NOTE 17. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new standard on disaggregation of income statement expenses, which requires an entity to disclose, on an annual and interim basis, disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in a tabular format in the notes to the financial statements. The standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of the new rules on its disclosures.

In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules that will require certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the new rules as a result of pending legal challenges. The new rules include a requirement to disclose material climate-related risks, descriptions of board and management oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrant’s strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals, as well as material effects and costs of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions. Prior to the stay of the new rules, they would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosures, which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact of the new rules on its disclosures.

NOTE 18. SEGMENT REPORTING

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses and about which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM determines how resources should be allocated and assesses performance on a regular basis. The Partnership’s CODM is the Partnership’s Treasurer and Director.

The Partnership operates as a single business segment, focusing on the ownership, operation and development of its multifamily and commercial real estate portfolio located in the city of Boston, surrounding suburbs, and southern New Hampshire. For a description of the types of products and services from which this single reportable segment derives its revenues, see Notes 1 and 2. The CODM is regularly provided with financial reporting packages which include the financial statements presented herein.

The CODM evaluates the performance of the Partnership on a consolidated basis, based upon consolidated Income Before Other Income (Expense), to make decisions about the Partnership’s operations and resource allocation. Consolidated Income Before Other Income (Expense) is used to monitor budget versus actual results. The significant expenses of the Partnership are presented within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The CODM manages our portfolio as a whole and decisions regarding investments are made collectively based on the inputs above. Accordingly, the Partnership consists of a single operating and reportable segment and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto are presented as a single reportable segment. Since the Partnership operates in a single segment, the segment information is consistent with the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, no reconciliation is necessary.

NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 15, 2025, New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to cause its wholly-owned subsidiaries to purchase a multifamily and commercial real property located at 49-51-53-55 Hill Road, 10-12-22-24 Vale Road and 7-45 Hill Road, 10-16 Pond Street, 18-24 Pond Street, 26-32 Pond Street, 34-40 Pond Street, 66-72 Pond Street, 74-80 Pond Street, 6-8 Pond Street, 13-19 Pond Street, 14-20 Hill Road, 22-28 Hill Road, 30-36 Hill Road, 38-44 Hill Road, 46-52 Hill Road, 42-48 Pond Street, 45-51 Pond Street, 50-56 Pond Street, 53-59 Pond Street, 58-64 Pond Street, 21-27 Pond Street, 29-35 Pond Street, and 37-43 Pond Street (the “Hill Estates Properties”), together with commercial properties located at 1 Vale Road (aka 4 Vale Road), 4 Hill Road and 55 Brighton Street. In addition, the Company is also buying two non-contiguous commercial properties located at 26 Brighton Avenue, and 90 Concord Avenue, Belmont, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (the “Off Campus Properties”) from Oak Realty and Service Company, LLC, Vale Realty and Service Company, LLC and Digiovanni Bros., Inc.

The property consists of 396 residential condominium units within twenty-eight (28) buildings known as Hill Estates, a two-story maintenance and administrative building, a two-story office building with basement, a two-story mixed use building with two ground floor retail units and five residential apartment units, a 10,500 square foot office building, and an approximately 13,350 square foot office building, along with all buildings, structures, fixtures, roads, driveways, approximately 589 parking spaces, and other improvements on the property. The total purchase price for the property under the purchase agreement is $175,000,000 with an allocated purchase price of $172,000,000 for the Hill Estates Properties and three commercial buildings, and $3,000,000 for the Off Campus Properties. The Partnership provided a $5,000,000 deposit at signing of the Purchase Agreement, refundable upon termination of the Purchase Agreement due to uncured title objections, a Major Casualty (in excess of $500,000), or any Seller default. The purchase and sale of the property was subject to a title due diligence period for the Partnership which expired on May 6, 2025. In addition, the Partnership may perform any other inspections it deems necessary up until the closing date. The Partnership expects closing of the purchase on June 18, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions. The Partnership has the right to extend the 30-day closing date by an additional 30 days, upon notice and payment of an additional $3,000,000 deposit. The Partnership plans to finance the purchase with cash, the proceeds of treasury bills, and debt.

On May 2, the Partnership signed a Rate Lock Authorization Agreement with Key Bank in connection with the refinancing and addition to the master credit facility of Hamiton Highlands for $18,759,000 and a borrow up on the master credit facility of $40,000,000. The borrow up will require additional pledges on all existing properties covered by the master credit facility. The closing of the refinancing and the borrow up is anticipated to be May 8, 2025. At signing of the Rate Lock Authorization Agreement, the Partnership deposited $1,175,180 as a good faith deposit.

On May 8, 2025, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $12.00 per Unit ($0.40 per Receipt), payable on May 30, 2025.

From April 1, 2025 through May 6, 2025, the Partnership has purchased 1,443 Depository Receipts.

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 results, performance or achievements for 2025 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.

Overview

Over a period of time both in 2021 and 2022, the Partnership took advantage of the low interest rate environment and refinanced fifteen properties, increased their loan balances, and raised approximately $130,000,000. With interest rates rising, and the threat of an economic slowdown, the Partnership increased the debt level and built cash reserves to acquire additional properties when opportunities become available. Currently, $58,032,000 of these reserves are invested in short-term US Treasury bills maturing in 6 months or less with interest rates between 4.19% and 4.37%.

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 vacancy rate for the Partnership’s residential properties as of May 1, 2025 was 1.6% as compared with a vacancy rate of 1.2% as of May 2, 2024. The vacancy rate for the Joint Venture properties as of May 1, 2025 was 2.0%, as compared to 1.3% 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.

During the first quarter of 2025, rents increased an average of 6.0% for renewals and decreased an average of 0.2% for new leases. For the balance of 2025, management expects a rental market with slowing rent growth.

For the first quarter of 2025, consolidated revenue increased by 4.0%, operating expenses increased by 2.2%, and Income before Other Income (Expense) increased by 8.4%, as compared to the first quarter of 2024.

On November 21, 2024, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a new $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line is for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the SOFR Rate for a period of one month plus the applicable margin of 2.5%. The loan covenants include a leverage ratio not to exceed 65%, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1.0, maximum usage of 1.5 times trailing 12 months EBITDA, minimum liquidity of $15 million, and a minimum debt yield of 8.5%. The Partnership incurred a commitment fee of $125,000. The Partnership will be charged annually an unused line fee, equal to seventy-five basis points (0.75%) between the difference of the maximum availability and the outstanding principal of the line of credit. This fee will be waived for any period in which the Partnership maintains aggregate deposits of twenty million dollars with the Lender. As of March 31,2025, the Partnership was in compliance with the financial covenants and did not incur an unused line fee.

From the start of the Stock Repurchase Program in 2007 through March 31, 2025, the Partnership has purchased 1,550,442 Depositary Receipts. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Partnership purchased a total of 84 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. On March 12, 2025, the Board of Directors unanimously approved a new extension to the Repurchase Program, authorizing the President and Treasurer to cause the Partnership to repurchase, on the open market or otherwise, including through individually negotiated purchases and through a written trading plan that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Depository Receipts and Partnership Units such that (i) the aggregate cost of Depository Receipts and Partnership Units repurchased shall not exceed the lesser of $5 million or 10% of the Partnership’s balance of cash and investment in treasury bills, (ii) no Depository Receipts or Partnership Units shall be repurchased after the date that is 12 months after the effective date of the plan, and (iii) no Depository Receipts or Partnership Units shall be repurchased in excess of $95 per Depository Receipt. The Repurchase Plan 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 Agreement. This repurchase authorization replaces the Partnership’s previous repurchase program. The Repurchase Plan shall be made in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations in effect from time to time.

On February 24, 2019, Harold Brown, the owner of 75% of the outstanding voting securities of NewReal, Inc. (“NewReal”), the general partner of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, passed away. As a result, the estate of Harold Brown held voting control over the capital stock of NewReal. On January 2, 2024, the estate was settled, with Jameson Brown and Harley Brown each assuming 37.5% ownership in NewReal. As of May 1, 2025, the Brown family related entities and Ronald Brown collectively own approximately 34.7% of the Depositary Receipts representing the Partnership Class A Units (including Depositary Receipts held by trusts for the benefit of such persons’ family members). Brown family related entities also control 75% of the Partnership’s Class B Units, and 75% of the capital stock of NewReal, the Partnership’s sole general partner. Ronald Brown also owns 25% of the Partnership’s Class B Units and 25% of the capital stock of NewReal. In addition, Ronald Brown is the President and a director of NewReal and Jameson Brown is Treasurer and a director of NewReal. Moreover, 75% of the issued and outstanding Class B units of the Partnership are owned by HBC Holdings LLC, an entity of which Jameson Brown is the manager. The outstanding stock of The Hamilton Company 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 three months ended March 31, 2025, tenant renewals were approximately 69% with an average rental increase of approximately 6.0%, new leases accounted for approximately 31% with a rental rate decrease of approximately 0.2%. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, leasing commissions were approximately $145,000 compared to approximately $118,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $27,000 (22.9%). Tenant concessions were approximately $16,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $76,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of approximately $60,000 (78.9%). Tenant improvements were approximately $871,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately $765,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of approximately $106,000 (13.9%).

Hamilton accounted for approximately 1.2% of the repair and maintenance expenses paid for by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 0.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. 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.

Table of Contents

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 $32,000 (82.8%) and approximately $50,000 (61.6%) of the legal services paid for by the Partnership during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 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 three months ended March 31, 2025, Hamilton provided the Partnership approximately $96,000 in construction and architectural services, compared to approximately $105,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Hamilton’s accounting staff perform bookkeeping and accounting functions for the Partnership. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, Hamilton charged the Partnership $31,250 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.

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

Table of Contents

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.

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. Costs directly related to the acquisition, development and construction of rental properties are capitalized. Capitalized development and construction costs include pre-construction costs, development and construction costs, regulatory fees, interest, property taxes, insurance, construction oversight fees, and other project costs incurred during the period of development. The Partnership considers a construction project as substantially completed and held available for occupancy upon the substantial completion of improvements, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity.

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.

Table of Contents

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 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.

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.

As described in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s share of the net income from the Investment Properties was approximately $362,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to net income of approximately $441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease in income of approximately $79,000 (17.8%). Included in the income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $651,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership’s principal source of cash during the first three months of 2025 and 2024 was the collection of rents. The Partnership’s principal use of cash during the first three months of 2025 was the construction of the Mill Street Development, improvements to rental properties, mortgage principal payments, purchases of U.S. Treasury bills, and distributions to partners.

The majority of cash and cash equivalents of $30,863,737 at March 31, 2025 and $17,615,940 at December 31, 2024 were held in interest bearing accounts at creditworthy financial institutions.

Table of Contents

The increase in cash of $13,247,797 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is summarized as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Cash provided by operating activities	$	5,477,629	$	6,123,747
Cash provided by investing activities		21,196,355		12,434,824
Principal payments of mortgage notes payable		(816,477)		(694,945)
Repurchase of Depositary Receipts, Class B and General Partner Units		(9,053)		(253,390)
Distributions paid		(12,600,657)		(7,038,955)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents	$	13,247,797	$	10,571,281

The net increase in cash provided by operating activities is due to various factors, including a change in depreciation expense, a change in income and distribution from joint ventures, and other factors. The net increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily for the improvement of rental properties, including the Mill Street Development project, offset by the proceeds of U.S. Treasury bills. Financing activities include mortgage principal payments and distributions to partners, and repurchase of depositary receipts.

During 2025, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships have completed improvements to certain of the Properties at a total cost of approximately $8,345,000. These improvements were funded from cash reserves. Cash reserves have been adequate to fully fund improvements. Cash reserves used for the Mill Street Development Project were approximately $6,233,000 for the three months ended March 31,2025. Beyond the Mill Street Development Project, the most significant improvements were made at Residences at Captain Parker, North Beacon apartments, Redwood Hills, Hamilton Oaks, Commonwealth 1144, and School Street at a cost of approximately $589,000, $246,000, $239,000, $181,000, $129,000 and $98,000 respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Partnership received distributions of approximately $482,000 from the investment properties. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Partnership received $577,000 in distributions from the investment properties. Included in these net distributions is the amount from Dexter Park of approximately $200,000. The decrease in distributions from the investment properties relates to the refinancing of Hamilton on Main in September of 2024,which increased quarterly mortgage interest expense.

In March 2025, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $12.00 per Unit ($0.40 per Receipt), payable on March 31, 2025. In addition to the quarterly distribution, there was a special distribution of $96.00 per Class A unit ($3.20 per Receipt) payable on March 31, 2025. In May 2025, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $12.00 per Unit ($0.40 per Receipt), payable on May 30, 2025.

The Partnership anticipates that cash from operations will be sufficient to fund its current operations, pay distributions, and make required debt payments. The Partnership anticipates that the Mill Street Development project will require approximately $30.3 million to be spent over the two year period, with approximately $15 million spent in 2024 and approximately $15.3 million to be spent in 2025. The partnership is using cash reserves to fund this construction but will finance a portion of construction costs upon completion of the project. Construction is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Joint Venture Indebtedness

As of March 31, 2025, 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. As March 31, 2025,our proportionate share of the non-recourse debt related to these investments was approximately $73,885,000. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

*Excluding unamortized deferred financing costs

As of March 31, 2025, the Partnership has one property under construction located at 57 Mill Street in Woburn, MA. The project includes 72 residential units comprising approximately 93,000 square feet, and is estimated to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2025. Total investment to date is approximately $23 million, and the total investment upon completion is anticipated to be approximately $33 million .The partnership is using cash reserves to fund this construction, but will finance a portion of construction costs upon completion of the project. In connection with the Mill Street development project, the Partnership has entered into a contract with a general contractor with a current contract value of approximately $30.3 million.

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 15 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 of the Partnership’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2025 and from time to time in the Partnership’s other 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.

●

Our actual costs to develop properties may exceed our budgeted costs.

Table of Contents

●

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 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 March 31, 2025, the Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have approximately $580,559,000 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 variable rate debt of $10,000,000 (without taking out unamortized deferred financing costs) as of March 31, 2025. Interest rates ranged from SOFR plus 170 basis points to SOFR plus 250 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 $50,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Partnership’s fixed rate debt as of March 31, 2025 would be approximately $22,777,000. 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 15 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 other changes in the Management Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rule 13a-15 that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Management Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

On March 12, 2025, the General Partner authorized the President and Treasurer to cause the Partnership to repurchase, on the open market or otherwise, including through individually negotiated purchases and through a written trading plan that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1, Depositary Receipts and Partnership Units in such quantities, at such prices, in such manner and on such terms and conditions as the Authorized Persons determine are in the best interests of the Partnership; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate cost of Depositary Receipts and Partnership Units repurchased shall not exceed $5 million, (ii) no Depositary Receipts or Partnership Units shall be repurchased after the date that is 12 months after the effective date hereof, (iii) no Depositary Receipt shall be repurchased( the “Repurchase Plan”); The Repurchase Plan 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 Agreement. The Repurchase Plan shall be made in accordance with the terms of Rule 10b-18 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations in effect from time to time.
