Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

Note 1 – Organization and Background

BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns and operates multi-family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.

Historically, the multi-family properties have been acquired with joint venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At September 30, 2021, the Company: (a) wholly owns eight multi-family properties located in seven states with an aggregate of 2,010 units, and a carrying value of $218,201,000; and (b) has interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 27 multi-family properties located in nine states with an aggregate of 7,444 units and the carrying value of this net equity investment is $128,478,000. BRT's equity interests in these unconsolidated entities range from 32% to 90%. Most of the Company's properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.

The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At September 30, 2021, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $6,419,000.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, these unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as amended, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, as determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.

The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York, was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.

Note 3 - Equity

Equity Distribution Agreements

In November 2019, the Company entered into equity distribution agreements, as amended March 31, 2021, with three sales agents to sell up to an aggregate of $30,000,000 of its common stock from time-to-time in an at-the-market offering. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 59,269 shares for an aggregate sales price of $1,080,000 before commissions and fees of $14,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company sold 469,490 shares for an aggregate sales price of $8,542,000 before commissions and fees of $126,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 694,298 shares for an aggregate sales price of $12,293,000, before commissions and fees of $185,000 and offering related expenses of $31,000. From the commencement of this program through September 30, 2021, the Company sold 1,275,751 shares for an aggregate sales price of $22,858,000 before commissions and fees of $344,000 and offering related expenses of $56,000.

Common Stock Dividend Distribution

The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.23 per share, payable on October 7, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 21, 2021.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company's 2020 Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, for up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards. As of September 30, 2021, 473,101 shares are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

In June 2016 and 2021, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire up to 450,000 shares and 210,375 shares of common stock, respectively, pursuant to the 2016 Amended and Restated Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") and the 2020 Plan, respectively. The RSUs entitled the recipients, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting dates (i.e.;March 31, 2021 for the 2016 grants and March 31, 2024 for the 2021 grants) to receive (i) the underlying shares if and to the extent certain performance and/or market conditions are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends (the "RSU Dividend Equivalent") paid from the grant date through the vesting date with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs if, when, and to the extent, the related RSU's vest. The shares underlying the RSUs are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, it was determined that the market conditions with respect to 250,000 shares underlying RSUs issued under the 2016 Plan had been satisfied; such shares, with an aggregate market value of $4,200,000 as of the vesting date, were issued and an aggregate of $775,000 of RSU Dividend Equivalents was paid. It was also determined that the performance conditions with respect to 200,000 shares underlying RSUs under the 2016 plan had not been satisfied; the 200,000 RSUs did not vest.

Expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period on the RSUs which the Company expects to vest. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $200,000 and $35,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $271,000 and $105,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs.

included in the earnings per share computation.    

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $642,000 and $426,000 respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded $1,678,000 and $1,255,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. The RSUs are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during such period.

In calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company, includes only those shares underlying the RSUs that it anticipates will vest based on management's current estimates. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSUs from such calculation if their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 4 - Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company owns a commercial building leased to two tenants under operating leases expiring from 2024 to 2028, with tenant options to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components, which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.

Lessee Accounting

The Company is a lessee under a ground lease in Yonkers, NY which is classified as an operating lease. The ground lease expires September 30, 2024 and provides for one 21-year renewal option. As of September 30, 2021, the remaining lease term, including the renewal option deemed exercised, is 24.0 years.

The Company is a lessee under a corporate office lease in Great Neck, New York, which is classified as an operating lease. The lease expires on December 31, 2031 and provides a five-year renewal option. As of September 30, 2021, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 15.3 years.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company's Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $2,618,000 and $2,675,000, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $2,652,000 and $2,674,000, respectively.

The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing rate activity and factors in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As the Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. The Company’s ground lease offers a renewal option which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of

exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

Property Acquisition

On August 18, 2021, the Company purchased its partners' interests in Bells Bluff, a previously unconsolidated joint venture. The purchase price to acquire the 41.95% interest in the venture was $27,860,000. As a result of this purchase, Bells Bluff is wholly-owned by the Company. In connection with the purchase, the $47,043,000 construction loan on the property was refinanced with 20-year fixed rate (i.e., 3.48% and interest only for 10 years) mortgage debt in principal amount of $52,000,000.

The Company determined that with respect to this acquisition, the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction does not meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company assessed the fair value of the tangible assets of the property as of the acquisition date using an income approach utilizing a market capitalization rate of 4.75% which is a Level 3 unobservable input in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the book value based on the proportionate share of the estimated fair value of the property on the acquisition date:

						Purchase Price Allocation
Land						$	6,172,000
Building and Improvements						77,532,000
Acquisition related intangible assets						1,597,000
						$	85,301,000

On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired the 10% interest owned by its joint venture partners in the entity that owns Crestmont at Thornblade, a 266-unit multi-family property located in Greenville, SC. The purchase price for the interest, after giving effect to the joint venture partner's carried interest, was $1,570,000. As a result, Crestmont at Thornblade, effective as of the purchase date, is wholly-owned by the Company.

Property Dispositions

On May 26, 2021 the Company sold its Kendall Manor-Houston, TX property, which had a book value of $16,842,000, for $24,500,000, and recognized a gain on the sale of the property of $7,279,000. In connection with the sale, the Company paid-off the related mortgage debt of $14,260,000.

On August 20, 2021, the Company sold a cooperative apartment unit in New York, NY, for a sales price of $545,000 and recognized a gain on the sale of $414,000.

Note 6 - Impairment Charges

The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company measures and records impairment charges, and reduces the carrying value of owned properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. For its unconsolidated joint venture investments, the Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of the equity investment when indicators of impairment are present and the expected discounted cash flows related to the investment is less than the carrying value.

When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying value to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on unconsolidated joint ventures that are under contract for sale, the Company, when it is determined that the sale is probable, reduces its carrying value to its fair value.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $520,000 related to its investment in the OPOP Tower and OPOP Lofts properties, St Louis, MO, as the carrying value exceeded the fair value by that amount. The fair value is based upon the sale price at which the Company contracted to sell these properties.

Note 7 - Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents funds held for specific purposes and are therefore not available for general corporate purposes. The restricted cash reflected on the consolidated balance sheets represents funds that are held by the Company specifically for capital improvements at certain multi-family properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures.

Note 8 – Investment in Unconsolidated Ventures

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.

Junior subordinated notes: At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $8,445,000 and $8,670,000, respectively, based on a market interest rate of 4.12% and 4.22%, respectively.

Table of Contents

Mortgages payable: At September 30, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $2,156,000, assuming market interest rates between 3.49% and 3.87%. At December 31, 2020, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was greater than their carrying value by approximately $3,831,000, assuming market interest rates between 2.87% and 3.28%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.

Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value

The Company’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.

At September 30, 2021, the Company has no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Set forth below is information regarding the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

			Carrying and Fair Value						Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
									Level 1						Level 2			Level 3
Financial Liabilities:
Interest rate swap			$	23					$	—					$	23		$	—

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities. At December 31, 2020, this derivative is included in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of December 31, 2020, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-recurring fair value measurements

The Company reviews each investment in real estate and joint venture interests when events or circumstances change, indicating the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of an investment for impairment, many factors are considered, including estimated current and expected cash flows from the asset during the projected hold period, costs necessary to extend the life of the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, and the ability to hold or dispose of the asset in the ordinary course of business. On June 8, 2021, we entered into a contract, completion of which is subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, including the approval of the lender, to sell our interests in OPOP Tower and OPOP Lofts to our joint venture partner for $3,000,000, which was below the asset carrying value as of June 30, 2021. As a result, we recorded an impairment charge of $520,000. As the estimate of fair value was based on a privately negotiated contract, the Company classified the fair value estimate of the asset to determine impairment in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily 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 Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as its classification on the consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Note 13 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, lease, derivatives and other contracts. This guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to

Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update provides specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods

and services from non-employees and specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”) establishing ASC Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”), as amended by subsequent ASUs on the topic. ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will account for credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The guidance replaces the current “incurred loss” model with an “expected loss” model that requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses over the lifetime of the financial asset. ASU 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2021, that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is focused on the ownership, and operation of multi-family properties. These properties derive revenue from tenant rental payments. Generally, these properties are owned by unconsolidated joint ventures in which we contributed 32% to 90% of the equity. At September 30, 2021, we: (i) wholly-own eight multi-family properties located in seven states with an aggregate of 2,010 units and a carrying value of $218.2 million; and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 27 multi-family properties located in nine states with 7,444 units - the carrying value of our net equity investment therein is $128.5 million. Most of our properties are located in the southeast United States and Texas. See "-Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" for information regarding the contributions of our unconsolidated subsidiaries and our reliance upon the cash flow and liquidity provided by such subsidiaries.

As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to operating properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods presented. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, there were seven same store properties.

Challenges and Uncertainties Presented by COVID-19

While the nation-wide economic hardships resulting from the responses to the pandemic did not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the pandemic, among other things, may adversely affect the ability of our residents to pay rent (due to furloughs, layoffs and/or the expiration of, or reduction in, unemployment benefits or other governmental assistance programs or our ability to evict non paying tenants) and as a result, our ability to pay dividends and/or the debt service on our mortgages.

Activities and Transactions During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021

Acquisitions

On August 18, 2021, we acquired the 41.9% interest owned by our joint venture partners in the entity that owns Bells Bluff, a 402-unit multi-family property located in West Nashville, TN. As a result, this property is wholly-owned by us and effective August 18, 2021, is included in our consolidated accounts and results of operations (the "Consolidating Transaction"). The purchase price for this interest was $27.9 million. In connection with the purchase, the $47.0 million floating-rate construction loan on the property was refinanced with 20-year fixed-rate (i.e; 3.48% and interest only for 10 years) mortgage debt in the principal amount of $52.0 million. We anticipate that in the quarter ending December 31, 2021, this property will generate approximately $2.0 million of rental revenues, $805,000 of operating expenses, $460,000 of interest expense and $1.2 million of depreciation. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the average occupancy rate at this property was 97.7% and the average monthly rental rate was $1,483.

Dispositions

On July 20, 2021, the unconsolidated joint venture which owned The Avenue Apartments, Ocoee, FL, sold the property for $107.7 million and recognized a gain on the sale of this property of $39.7 million (the "Avenue Sale"). As a result of the sale, we recorded a gain of $19.5 million. The mortgage debt secured by this property and discharged in connection with the sale was in principal amount of $53.1 million, had an interest rate of 3.90% and was scheduled to mature in January 2028. The joint venture recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $9.1 million, of which our share was $4.5 million. During 2020, this property contributed $51,000 of equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures.

On July 28, 2021, the unconsolidated joint venture which owned Parc at 980, Lawrenceville, GA, sold the property for $118.3 million and recognized a gain on the sale of this property of $44.3 million (the "Parc Sale" and together with the Avenue Sale, the "Avenue/Parc Sale"). As a result of the sale, we recorded again of $15.5 million. The mortgage debt secured by this property and discharged in connection with the sale was in principal amount of $54.4 million, had an interest rate of 3.97% and was scheduled to mature in March 2028. The joint venture recognized a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $308,000, of which our share was $107,000. During 2020, this property contributed $3,000 of equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures.

On August 20, 2021, we sold a cooperative apartment in New York, NY, for a sales price of $545,000 and recognized a gain of $414,000 on the sale(the “Coop Sale”).

In connection with the payoffs, we incurred a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $902,000.

Other Activities

On September 13, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase plan authorizing us, effective as of October 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of our common stock through December 31, 2023.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we sold 59,269 shares pursuant to our ATM sales program at an average price of $18.23 per share. Net proceeds after commissions and fees was $1.1 million.

We increased the dividend declared on our common stock in September 2021 by 4.5% to $0.23 per share.

Recent Transactions

On October 1, 2021, we purchased for $1.6 million, our joint venture partner’s 10.0% interest in the entity that owns Crestmont at Thornblade-Greenville SC. As a result, this property is wholly owned by us. We anticipate that during the quarter ending December 31, 2021, this property will generate approximately $970,000, $485,000, $320,000, and $350,000 of rental revenues, operating expenses, interest expense and depreciation, respectively.

On November 4, 2021, we sold our interest in the joint venture that own OPOP Towers and OPOP Lofts, two properties located in St. Louis, MO. (the "OPOP Properties"), for $3,000,000. The Company, during the quarter ended June 30, 2021, recorded a $520,000 impairment charge with respect to this property and anticipates that during the quarter ended December 31, 2021,it will record a gain of approximately $385,000 on the sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, these properties generated $879,000 in equity in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Revenues

The following table compares our revenues for the periods indicated:

						Three Months Ended September 30,

Rental and other revenue from real estate properties						$	7,709					$	7,020					$	689					9.8
Other income						5						293						(288)						(98.3)
Total revenues						$	7,714					$	7,313					$	401					5.5

Rental and other revenue from real estate properties

The increase is due to the following changes:

•$964,000 due to the Consolidating Transaction,

•$268,000 due to an increase in average rental rates at same store properties, and

•$100,000 due to an increase in ancillary income (e.g., late fees, utility reimbursements, etc) at same store properties.

Offsetting the increase is a $717,000 decrease due to the sale of the Kendall Manor property in the quarter ended June 30, 2021 (the "Kendall Sale").

Other income

The decrease is due to the inclusion, in the three months ended September 30, 2020, of the interest collected on the Newark loan receivable which was sold on September 30, 2020 (the "Newark Receivable").

Total expenses						$	9,840					$	13,169					$	(3,329)					(25.3)

Real estate operating expense

The increase is due primarily to the inclusion of $368,000 relating to the Consolidating Transaction and a $100,000 increase in real estate taxes at same store properties, offset by a $464,000 decrease in operating expenses from the Kendall Sale.

Interest expense.

The change is due to a $216,000 decrease due to the payoff of mortgage debt in the current period and $169,000 due to the Kendall Sale, offset by a $218,000 increase from the inclusion of interest expense related to the Consolidating Transaction.

General and administrative.

The increase is due primarily to a $381,000 increase in non-cash compensation expense, including $165,000 relating to the grant of performance and market based restricted stock units (the "RSUs") in June 2021, $105,000 due to the increased amortization of restricted stock expense (as a result of the higher fair value of the shares granted in January 2021 in comparison to the restricted stock granted in 2016) and $111,000 with respect to the restricted stock granted in June 2021.

Impairment charge

In the 2020 period, in connection with entering into a contract to sell a vacant 8.7 acre land parcel in South Daytona Beach, FL (the "South Daytona Property") we recorded an impairment charge of $3.6 million representing the excess of the book value over the parcel's fair value . We anticipate that this transaction will be completed in early 2022. There was no comparable charge in the current period.

Depreciation

The increase is due primarily to the inclusion of $364,000 from the Consolidating Transaction, offset by a $326,000 decrease due to the Kendall Sale.

Real estate operating expense

The increase is due primarily to

•$474,000 at same store properties, including a $277,000 increase in real estate taxes at Avondale Station - Decatur, GA due to an increased assessment and a $124,000 increase in insurance premiums, and

•$368,000 due to the Consolidating Transaction.

This was offset by a decline of $549,000 from the Kendall Sale.

Impairment charge

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of $520,000 representing the excess of the book value of our investment in the "OPOP Properties" over the sale price of the investment. In the corresponding period of the prior year, we recorded a $3.6 million impairment charge with respect to the South Daytona Property.

Depreciation

The decrease is due to:

•a $541,000 decline due to the Kendall Sale, and

•the inclusion, in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, of a $231,000 adjustment (i.e., to reflect an increase in the asset value) to such expense in connection with our buyout of a joint venture partner's interest.

This decrease was offset by $364,000 of depreciation from the Consolidating Transaction.

Rental revenue from unconsolidated joint ventures

The increase is due primarily to:

•$3.6 million from unconsolidated same store properties - $1.4 million from an increase in rental rates, $1.0 million due to the increase in ancillary fees (e.g., late fees, waiver fees and tech/cable package) and $1.0 million from increased occupancy,

•$416,000 from the inclusion, for the entire nine months ended September 30, 2021, of Abbotts Run.

The increase was offset by a $1.3 million due to the Avenue/Parc Sale and $716,000 from the Anatole Sale.

Interest expense from unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease is due to the the Avenue/Parc Sale ($779,000), the Consolidating Transaction ($379,000), from the Anatole Sale ($259,000) and $178,000 due to reduced principal balances as a result of mortgage amortization.

Loss on extinguishment of debt

See “- Transactions During the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021” and “- Results of Operations for the Three Months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the Three Months ended September 30, 2020” for information about the payoff of $37.9 million of mortgage debt and the loss incurred in connection therewith. There was no comparable charge in the nine month period ended September 30, 2020.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service, acquire properties, make capital improvements, fund capital contributions, pay dividends and, to the extent we deem appropriate, reduce other than in the ordinary course, our indebtedness over time. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of our multi-family properties (including distributions from the joint ventures that own such properties), mortgage debt financings and re-financings, equity contributions for acquisitions from our joint venture partners, our share of the proceeds from the sale of properties, the sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to our at-the-market equity distribution program, borrowings from our credit facility and our available cash (including restricted cash). On September 30, 2021 and November 1, 2021, our cash and cash equivalents, were approximately $29.6 million and $30.4 million, respectively, and excludes funds held at our unconsolidated joint ventures.

We anticipate that through 2023, our operating expenses, $75.1 million of mortgage amortization and interest expense, and $88.2 million of balloon payments (including $66.8 million and $56.0 million, respectively, from unconsolidated joint ventures) due with respect to mortgages maturing from 2021 to 2023, estimated cash dividend payments of at least $37.6 million (assuming (i) the current quarterly dividend rate of $0.23 per share and (ii) 18.2 million shares outstanding), will be funded from cash generated from operations (including distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures), sales of properties and, to the extent available, our credit facility. Our operating cash flow and available cash is insufficient to fully fund the $88.2 million of balloon payments, and if we are unable to refinance such debt, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties, in each case on potentially unfavorable terms.

At September 30, 2021, we had mortgage debt of $797.8 million (including $663.1 million of mortgage debt of our unconsolidated subsidiaries). The mortgage debt at our: (i) consolidated subsidiaries had a weighted average interest rate of 3.79% and a weighted average remaining term to maturity of approximately 11 years, and (ii) at our unconsolidated subsidiaries had a weighted average interest rate of 4.03% and a remaining term to maturity of approximately 7.5 years.

Capital improvements at (i) 16 multi-family properties will be funded by approximately $7.6 million of restricted cash available at September 30, 2021 and the cash flow from operations at such properties and (ii) other properties will be funded from the cash flow from operations of such properties.

In addition to the challenges presented by the current highly competitive environment to acquire properties, our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties (or the interests of joint venture partners in properties owned by our unconsolidated subsidiaries), is limited by our available cash, and our ability to (i) draw on our credit facility, (ii) obtain, on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders, (iii) raise capital from the sale of our common stock, and (iv) use the net proceeds available to us from other property sales. Further, if and to the extent we generate ordinary taxable income, we will be required to make distributions to stockholders to maintain our REIT status and as a result, will be limited in our ability to use gains, if any, from property sales, as a source of funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions.

Junior Subordinated Notes

As of September 30, 2021, $37.4 million (excluding deferred costs of $302,000) in principal amount of our junior subordinated notes is outstanding. These notes mature in April 2036, contain limited covenants (including covenants prohibiting us from paying dividends or repurchasing capital stock if there is an event of default (as defined therein) on these notes), are redeemable at our option and bear an interest rate, which resets and is payable quarterly, of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At September 30, 2021 and 2020, the interest rate on these notes was 2.13% and 2.27%, respectively.

Credit Facility

Our credit facility with VNB, as amended and modified from time to time, allows us to borrow, subject to compliance with borrowing base requirements and other conditions, up to $15 million. The facility is available for the (i) for the acquisition of, and investment in, multi-family properties, and (ii) working capital (including dividend payments) and operating expenses. It is secured by the cash available in certain cash accounts maintained by the Company at VNB , matures April 2023 and bears an annual interest rate of 50 basis points over the prime rate, with a floor of 4.25%. At September 30, 2021, the annual interest rate on this facility was 4.25%. There is an unused facility fee of 0.25% per annum on the difference between the outstanding loan balance and the maximum amount then available under the facility.

The facility includes restrictions and covenants which limit, among other things, the incurrence of liens, and which require compliance with financial ratios relating to, among other things, the minimum amount of debt service coverage with respect to the properties (and amounts drawn on the facility) used in calculating the borrowing base, the minimum number of wholly owned properties and the minimum number of properties used in calculating the borrowing base. Net proceeds received from the sale, financing or refinancing of wholly owned properties are generally required to be used to repay amounts outstanding under the facility. At September 30, 2021, we were in compliance in all material respects with the facility.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Although we are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K), the following information may be of interest to investors. At September 30, 2021, we are joint venture partners in approximately 25 unconsolidated joint ventures which own 27 multi-family properties and that the distributions to us from these joint venture properties ($3.0 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2021) are a material source of our liquidity and cash flow. Further, we may be required to make significant capital contributions with respect to these properties. At September 30, 2021, these joint venture properties have a net equity carrying value of $128.5 million and are subject to net mortgage debt, which is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheet, of $663.1 million. Although BRT Apartments Corp. is not the obligor with respect to such mortgage debt, the loss of any of these properties due to mortgage foreclosure or similar proceedings would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. These joint venture arrangements have been, and we anticipate that they will continue to be, material to our liquidity and capital resource position. See note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.

Cash Distribution Policy

We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the “Code.” To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute to our stockholders within the time frames prescribed by the Code at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income. Management currently intends to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to stockholders in accordance with the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if we qualify for Federal taxation as a REIT, we are subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income, (i.e., taxable income not distributed in the amounts and in the time frames prescribed by the Code).

Our net operating loss at December 31, 2020 was $36.2 million; therefore, we are not currently required by Code provisions relating to REITs to pay cash dividends to maintain our status as a REIT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on April 7, 2021 and July 9, 2021, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per share and on October 7, 2021 paid a quarterly cash dividend of $.23 per share.

We are carefully monitoring our discretionary spending in light of the pandemic. Our largest recurring discretionary expenditure has been our quarterly dividend (which was $0.23 per share of common stock, or in the approximate amount of $4.2 million, for the most recent quarter). Each quarter, our board of directors evaluates the timing and amount of our dividend based on its assessment of, among other things, our short and long- term cash and liquidity requirements, prospects, debt maturities, projections of our REIT taxable income, net income, funds from operations, and adjusted funds from operations.

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations; Net Operating Income

We disclose below funds from operations (“FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT.

We compute FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities where the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non- real estate assets. We compute AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight-line rent accruals, loss on extinguishment of debt, restricted stock and restricted stock unit expense, deferred mortgage costs and gain on insurance recovery. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another.

We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assumes that the carrying value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions.

FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, FFO decreased from the corresponding 2020 period primarily due to the loss on extinguishment of debt offset by a reduction in interest expense at both our consolidated and unconsolidated properties.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, AFFO increased from the corresponding period in 2020 primarily due to reduced interest expense and, to a lesser extent, improved operating margins at our same store consolidated and unconsolidated properties, offset by the impact of dispositions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, FFO decreased from the corresponding 2020 period due to the loss on extinguishment of debt, the increase in expense related to equity awards and the inclusion, in the corresponding 2020 period, of other income related to the Newark Receivable. The decrease was offset by insurance recoveries and gain on insurance proceeds at unconsolidated properties, and improved operating margins and reduced interest expense at our consolidated and unconsolidated properties.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, AFFO increased from the corresponding period in 2020, primarily due to improved operating margins and reduced interest expense at our consolidated and unconsolidated properties offset by the inclusion, in the corresponding 2020 period, of other income from the Newark Receivable.

Diluted per share FFO and AFFO were impacted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 by the increase of 1,039,523 and 725,594, respectively, weighted average shares of common stock outstanding from the third quarter of 2020 through the current quarter, primarily due to stock issuances pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive and at-the-market equity offering programs.

Net Operating Income, or NOI, is a non-GAAP measure of performance. NOI is used by our management and many investors to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends at our properties and to determine the estimated fair value of our properties. The usefulness of NOI may be limited in that it does not take into account, among other things, general and administrative expense, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, casualty losses, insurance recoveries and gains or losses as determined by GAAP. NOI is a property specific performance metric and does not measure our performance as a whole.

We compute NOI, by adjusting net income (loss) to (a) add back (1) depreciation expense, (2) general and administrative expenses, (3) interest expense, (4) loss on extinguishment of debt, (5) equity in loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, (6) provision for taxes, (7) the impact of non-controlling interests, and (b) deduct (1) other income, (2) gain on sale of real estate, and (3) gain on insurance recoveries related to casualty loss. Other REIT’s may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REIT’s. We believe NOI provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income (loss). NOI is one of the measures we use to evaluate our performance because it (i) measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items unrelated to property operating performance and (ii) captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

The following table provides a reconciliation of net income attributable to common stockholders as computed in accordance with GAAP to NOI of our consolidated properties for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, NOI increased $574,000 from the corresponding period in 2020 primarily due to a $689,000 increase in rental revenues offset by a $115,000 increase in operating expenses. Same store NOI in the three months ended September 30, 2021, increased by $205,000 from the corresponding period in 2020, due to a $433,000 increase in rental revenues offset by a $228,000 increase in operating expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, NOI increased $1.0 million from the corresponding period in 2020, primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in rental revenues offset by a $336,000 increase in operating expenses. Same store NOI in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, increased by $825,000 from the corresponding period in 2020, due to a $1.3 million increase in rental revenues offset by a $474,000 increase in operating expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

All of our mortgage debt bears interest at fixed rates. Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At September 30, 2021, the interest rate on these notes was 2.13%. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would increase our related interest expense by approximately $374,000 annually and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would decrease our related interest expense by $46,000 annually.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, these officers concluded that as of September 30, 2021 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

For further information about our remediation of a weakness in internal controls over financial reporting, see “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021.
