EX-99 2 birex99-18kq3epr.txt EXHIBIT 99.1, BIR Q3 EARNINGS PRESS RELEASE BERKSHIRE INCOME REALTY ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER FFO OF $4,384,000 AND TEXAS ACQUISITION BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - - November 14, 2003 - - Berkshire Income, Realty, Inc. (AMEX: "BIR_pa", "BIRPRA", "BIR.PR.A") ("Berkshire" or the "Company") today reported its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2003. Financial highlights for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 include: o The Company's funds from operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 were $4,384,000. o For the quarter ended September 30, 2003, Berkshire reported net income of $2,114,000. For the comparable period in 2002, the Berkshire Income Realty Predecessor Group reported a net loss of $215,000. Because the Company did not have any operations until the quarter ended June 30, 2003, the discussion in this press release of operations or activities prior to April 1, 2003 refers to the operations and activities of the Berkshire Income Realty Predecessor Group, the Company's predecessor entities for accounting purposes. As described below, the Berkshire Income Realty Predecessor Group contributed to the Company the initial properties that make up the Company's current operations. o On October 30, 2003, Berkshire Income Realty - OP, L.P. (the "O.P."), the operating partnership subsidiary of the Company, through its newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, St. Marin/Karrington Limited Partnership, purchased the St. Marin Apartments, a 350-unit multi-family apartment community and the Karrington Apartments, a 250-unit multi-family apartment community, which are contiguous properties located in Coppell, Texas from WHCO Real Estate Limited Partnership and WHCO II Real Estate Limited Partnership, respectively. Both of the sellers are third parties. The purchase and sale agreements, as amended, provide for purchase prices of $26,125,000 and $20,000,000 for St. Marin and Karrington, respectively, which was paid in cash. The Company will operate the two properties as one under the name St. Marin/Karrington Apartments. o On October 31, 2003, the Company announced it that would pay its regular quarterly cash dividend of $.5625 on each share (aggregate quarterly dividend of $1,675,000) of its 9% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") on November 15, 2003 to shareholder of record on November 10, 2003. The regular cash dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock is payable on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year. Funds From Operations The Company has adopted the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Management considers Funds from Operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. We calculate FFO by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, including non-recurring items), for gains (or losses) from sales of properties and real estate related depreciation and amortization. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income as presented in the financial statements. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing the comparative operating and financial performance of the Company, because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to different companies. The Company's calculation of FFO may not be directly comparable to FFO reported by other REITS or similar real estate companies that have not adopted the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our financial statements. The calculation of FFO for the three month period ended September 30, 2003 is presented below (in thousands): Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 ------------------- Net Income $ 2,114 Add: Minority interest in Operating Partnership 488 Depreciation of real property 1,782 ------------------- Funds from Operations $ 4,384 =================== Further information regarding the results of Berkshire for the quarter ended September 30, 2003 can be found in Berkshire's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2003, which is being filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission and will be available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
