NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on July 19, 2002 and 100 Class B common shares were issued upon organization.  The Company is in the business of acquiring, owning, operating, developing and rehabilitating multifamily apartment communities.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned, or had an interest in, 18 multifamily apartment communities consisting of 5,281 total apartment units, two multifamily development projects and two unconsolidated multifamily entities. The Company conducts its business through Berkshire Income Realty-OP, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").

The Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Section 856 of the Tax Code (the "Code"), with the filing of its first tax return. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. The Company's policy is to make sufficient distributions of its taxable income to meet the REIT distribution requirements. The Company must also meet other operational requirements with respect to its investments, assets and income. The Company monitors these various requirements on a quarterly basis and believes that as of and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, it was in compliance on all such requirements. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to certain state level taxes based on the location of its properties.

Discussion of acquisitions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014

On January 22, 2014, the Company executed a joint venture limited liability company agreement with an unrelated entity for the development of Aura Prestonwood, a 322-unit multifamily apartment project located in Dallas, Texas (the "Prestonwood Project"). The Company has a 95% interest in the joint venture and has made a commitment to invest $12,643,500 in the project, which has been fully funded. Simultaneously with the execution of the limited liability company agreement, the joint venture acquired the land where the multifamily apartment project is being built. The cost of the land was $7,302,960 and consideration of $1,000,000 was paid at closing for the option to acquire the abutting land parcel at a future time.

On March 20, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiaries, BIR Pavilion, L.L.C. and BIR Eon, L.L.C., completed the acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace, a 236-unit multifamily apartment community located in Dallas, Texas and EON at Lindbergh, a 352-unit multifamily apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia, respectively. The seller was an unaffiliated third party. The purchase prices for Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh were $56,000,000 and $64,000,000, respectively, and were subject to loan assumptions, normal operating prorations and adjustments as provided for in the purchase and sale agreements. The Company has designated these properties to qualify as replacement properties in a reverse exchange transaction, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, for properties identified to be sold in 2014. The Company has 180 days from the acquisition of the replacement properties to complete the reverse exchange transaction.

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805-10 requires that identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. As of the acquisition date, the amounts recognized for each major class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows:

	Aura Prestonwood		Pavilion Townplace		EON at Lindbergh		Total

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is applied prospectively and is effective in 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning April 1, 2014. Prior to April 1, 2014, disposed properties are presented in discontinued operations.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additional, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

3.     INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED MULTIFAMILY ENTITIES

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

On August 12, 2005, the Company, together with affiliates and other unaffiliated parties, entered into a subscription agreement to invest in the Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund, L.P. (“BVF”), an affiliate of Berkshire Property Advisors, L.L.C. (“Berkshire Advisor” or the “Advisor”).  Under the terms of the agreement and the related limited partnership agreement, the Company and its affiliates agreed to invest up to $25,000,000, or approximately 7%, of the total capital of the partnership.  The Company’s final commitment under the subscription agreement with BVF totaled $23,400,000, which represented an ownership interest of 7% of BVF.  BVF’s investment strategy was to acquire middle-market properties where there is an opportunity to add value through repositioning or rehabilitation.

In accordance with ASC 810-10 issued by FASB, as amended by ASU 2009-17, related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in BVF to determine whether it would qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  As a result of the Company’s qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment in BVF is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the fact that the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of BVF that most significantly impact BVF’s economic performance.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of BVF, the general partner of BVF has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of BVF.

After making the determination that its investment in BVF was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of BVF and therefore would be required to consolidate BVF’s balance sheets and result of operations.  This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of BVF, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF that could potentially be significant to the entity based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of BVF.  As a result of fees paid to an affiliate of the general partner of BVF for asset management and other services, the Company has determined that the general partner of BVF has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF while retaining the power to make significant decisions for BVF.  Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the general partner of BVF should

11

consolidate BVF and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in BVF as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $23,400,000 in BVF and had received distributions from BVF of $17,753,897, or approximately 75.9%, of its invested capital. The general partner of BVF is proceeding with BVF's plan to sell the remaining 18 assets in the portfolio.

The summarized statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ equity (deficit) of BVF is as follows:

	June 30, 2014			December 31, 2013
	(unaudited)			(audited)
ASSETS
Multifamily apartment communities, net	$	286,818,380		$	664,692,480

Company’s share of partners’ equity (deficit)	$	187,426		$	(604,395	)
Basis differential (1)	604,395			604,395
Carrying value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated limited partnership (2)	$	791,821		$	—

(1) This amount represents the difference between the Company’s investment in BVF and its share of the underlying equity in the net assets of BVF (adjusted to conform with GAAP).  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the differential was comprised mainly of $583,240, which represents the Company’s share of syndication costs incurred by BVF that the Company was not required to fund via a separate capital call.

(2) Per the partnership agreement of BVF, the Company’s liability is limited to its investment in BVF.  The Company does not guarantee any third-party debt held by BVF.  The Company has fully funded its obligations under the partnership agreement as of June 30, 2014 and has no commitment to make additional contributions to BVF. The carrying value of the investment is $0 at December 31, 2013, as distributions from the investment have exceeded the Company's invested equity as adjusted for the Company's share of gains and losses over the holding period of the investment. The Company resumed equity method earnings in BVF during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as its share of BVF's earnings during the period exceeded the excess distribution recognized as equity in income of unconsolidated limited partnership previously by the Company.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in BVF for impairment periodically and records impairment charges when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.  No such other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 or twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013.

The summarized statements of operations of BVF for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

(1) There were no impairment indicators or impairment writeoffs in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

The Company has determined that its valuation of the real estate was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment.

(2) During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, BVF recorded a net gain on the disposition of fifteen properties. The gain on the sale was $225,340,593, of which the Company's share was approximately $15,774,000 and is reflected in the "Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated multifamily entities" for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

There were no dispositions of property by BVF during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

On March 2, 2011, the Operating Partnership executed an agreement with Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund II ("BVF II"), an affiliated entity, to create a joint venture, BIR/BVF-II NoMa JV, L.L.C. ("NoMa JV"), to participate in and take an ownership position in a real estate development project. BVF II is the managing member of NoMa JV and has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 67% while the Operating Partnership has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 33%.

Also on March 2, 2011, NoMa JV acquired a 90% interest in NOMA Residential West I, LLC. (“NOMA Residential”).  NOMA Residential has developed and is operating a 603-unit multifamily apartment community in Washington, D.C. (the "NoMa Project"). The remaining 10% interest in NOMA Residential is owned by the developer, an unrelated third party (the “NoMa Developer”).  The governing agreements for NOMA Residential give the NoMa Developer the authority to manage the construction and development of, and subsequent to completion, the day-to-day operations of NOMA Residential.  The agreement also provides for fees to the NoMa Developer, limits the authority of the NoMa Developer and provides for distributions based on percentage interest and thereafter in accordance with achievement of economic hurdles.

In accordance with ASC 810-10, as amended by ASU 2009-17, related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in NoMa JV to determine whether it would qualify as a VIE and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of the Company's qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the holders of the equity investment at risk lacking the power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.  Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement of NoMa JV, the managing member has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of NoMa JV.

After making the determination that its investment in NoMa JV was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of NoMa JV and would be required to consolidate the VIE's balance sheet and results of operations. This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of NoMa JV, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of NoMa JV that could potentially be significant to the VIE based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of NoMa JV.  Because the managing member owns two-thirds of the entity and all profits and losses are split pro-rata in accordance with capital accounts, the Company has determined that the managing member has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE while retaining the power to make significant decisions for NoMa JV.  Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the managing member should consolidate NoMa JV and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in NoMa JV as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

13

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $14,520,000 in NoMa JV for an ownership interest of approximately 33% and had recorded $1,710,327 of capitalized interest on the investment. The Company has no obligation to fund capital to NoMa JV in excess of its original commitment of capital of $14,520,000. The NoMa Project was completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The summarized statement of assets, liabilities and members’ capital of NoMa JV is as follows:

(1) This amount represents capitalized interest, net of amortization, pursuant to ASC 835-20, related to the Company's equity investment in NoMa JV. The capitalized interest was computed on the amounts borrowed by the Company to finance its investment in NoMa JV and was not an item required to be funded via a capital call.

(2) Per the limited liability company agreement of NoMa JV, the Company's liability is limited to its investment in NoMa JV. The Company has fully funded its maximum obligation under the limited liability company agreement as of June 30, 2014 and has no commitment to make additional contributions to NoMa JV.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in NoMa JV for impairment periodically and records impairment charges when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.  No such other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 or twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013.

4.    MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

On November 1, 2013, the Company, through its joint venture partnership for the development of the 141-unit apartment building in Walnut Creek, California (the "Walnut Creek Project"), acquired the land associated with the development project. The Company assumed the seller's outstanding land loan in the amount of $4,828,495. The assumed land loan had a fixed interest rate of 6.00% and matured on March 31, 2014, at which point it was paid off in the amount of $4,828,495.

On January 16, 2014, the Company closed on a $44,000,000 mortgage loan refinancing for Berkshires of Columbia and paid off the three existing mortgages totaling $32,254,894. The refinanced mortgage bears interest at a variable rate of 2.43% above the 1-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and matures on February 1, 2024.

On January 22, 2014, the Company through the joint venture formed with its subsidiary, BRD Arapaho, L.L.C. and TRG Prestonwood, L.P., entered into a loan agreement totaling up to $31,054,212 for the development of Aura Prestonwood, a 322-unit multifamily apartment project in Dallas, Texas. The loan has a variable interest rate of 2.50% above the 1-month LIBOR and matures on January 22, 2017. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the loan was $2,253,335.

On March 20, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiaries, BIR Pavilion, L.L.C. and BIR Eon, L.L.C., assumed mortgage notes payable with outstanding balances of $25,571,949 and $42,000,000, respectively, in connection with acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh. Both mortgage notes are collateralized by the related properties. The mortgage on Pavilion Townplace has a fixed interest rate of 5.27% and matures on January 1, 2021. The mortgage on EON at Lindbergh has a fixed interest rate of 4.25% and matures on May 1, 2022. In accordance with ASC 805-10, which requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, the Company determined the fair values of both mortgage notes by calculating the present value of future payments at current interest rates. The fair values at the acquisition date for the mortgages assumed were $27,542,536 for Pavilion Townplace and $42,929,530 for EON at Lindbergh, respectively.

The Company determines the fair value of the mortgage notes payable in accordance with authoritative guidance related to fair value measurement based on the discounted future cash flows at a discount rate that approximates the Company’s current effective borrowing rate for comparable loans (other observable inputs or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the authoritative guidance). For purposes of determining fair value, the Company groups its debt by similar maturity date for purposes of obtaining comparable loan information.  In addition, the Company also considers the loan-to-value percentage of individual loans to determine if further stratification of the loans is appropriate in the valuation model.  Under this approach, debt in excess of 80% loan-to-value is considered similar to mezzanine debt and is valued using a greater interest spread than the average debt pool.  Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximated $554,464,000 and $505,385,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

5.    REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY - AFFILIATE

On June 30, 2005, the Company obtained new financing in the form of a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility in the amount of $20,000,000 was provided by an affiliate of the Company (the "Credit Facility - Affiliate"). The Credit Facility - Affiliate was amended on May 31, 2007 to add additional terms to the Credit Facility - Affiliate ("Amendment No. 1"), on February 17, 2011 to add an amendment period with a temporary increase in the commitment amount to $40,000,000 ("Amendment No. 2"), and on May 24, 2011 to increase the commitment fee ("Amendment No. 3"). The Credit Facility - Affiliate provides for interest on borrowings at a rate of 5% above the 30-day LIBOR rate, as announced by Reuter's, and fees based on borrowings under the Credit Facility - Affiliate and various operational and financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a maximum debt service ratio. The agreement had a maturity date of December 31, 2006, with a one-time six-month extension available at the option of the Company. The terms of the Credit Facility - Affiliate were agreed upon through negotiations and were approved by the Audit Committee (which committee is comprised of our three directors who are independent under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE MKT LLC) ("Audit Committee"). Subsequent to its exercise of extension rights, the Company on May 31, 2007 executed Amendment No.1 that provides for an extension of the maturity date by replacing the then current maturity date of June 30, 2007 with a 60-day notice of termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the commitment under the agreement and render all outstanding amounts due and payable. Amendment No. 1 also added a clean-up requirement to the agreement, which requires the borrower to repay in full all outstanding loans and have no outstanding obligations under the agreement for a 14 consecutive day period during each 365-day period. The clean-up requirement for the current 365-day period was satisfied on July 9, 2013.

On February 17, 2011, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 which provides for a temporary modification of certain provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate during a period commencing with the date of execution and ending on July 31, 2012 (the "Amendment Period"), subject to extension. During the Amendment Period, certain provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate were modified and included: an increase in the amount of the commitment from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000; elimination of the leverage ratio

15

covenant and clean-up requirement (each as defined in the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement); and computation and payment of interest on a quarterly basis. At the conclusion of the Amendment Period, including extensions, the provisions modified pursuant to Amendment No. 2 reverted back to the provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement prior to the Amendment Period.

On May 24, 2011, the Company executed Amendment No. 3 which limits the total commitment fee provided for in the agreement to be no greater than $400,000 in the aggregate.

On July 31, 2012, the provisions of the Amendment Period, as described above, expired as the Company did not exercise the extension provision to the Amendment Period of the Credit Facility - Affiliate, as provided for in Amendment No. 2. As a result, the specific provisions, which had been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 2, reverted back to the original provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement prior to the Amendment Period.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company borrowed $0 and $1,627,000, respectively, under the Credit Facility - Affiliate and did not repay any outstanding balances during the same periods.  The Company incurred interest charges of $0 and $32,981 related to the Credit Facility - Affiliate during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

6.    CREDIT FACILITY

On January 21, 2014, the Company, through the Operating Partnership, closed on a $90,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility") with an unaffiliated lender. The Credit Facility provides for interest on borrowings at a rate of 3.75% above the 30-day LIBOR rate, as announced by Reuter's, and includes various operational and financial covenants, including a leverage ratio and a debt service ratio. The Credit Facility has a maturity date of January 21, 2017 and provides for a maximum commitment to the Company of $90,000,000 commencing with the date of execution through June 29, 2014; $75,000,000 from June 30, 2014 to September 29, 2014; $60,000,000 from September 30, 2014 to December 30, 2014; and $45,000,000 from December 31, 2014 to January 21, 2017. The Credit Facility provides for unused commitment fees of 0.50% per annum if the unused amount is equal to or greater than 50% of the applicable maximum commitment and 0.35% per annum if such unused amount is less than 50%.

On June 16, 2014, the Company amended the Credit Facility to extend the date on which the maximum commitment reduces to $75,000,000 from June 30, 2014 to August 30, 2014.

7.    NOTE PAYABLE - OTHER

On June 12, 2012, Zocalo Community Development, Inc. ("Zocalo"), the managing member of the joint venture ("JV 2020 Lawrence") that the Operating Partnership formed with its subsidiary, BIR 2020 Lawrence, L.L.C. ("BIR 2020"), Zocalo and JB 2020, LLC, entered into a financing agreement with the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Energy Office, for $1,250,000 (the "Colorado Energy Loan") to be used for inclusion of energy efficient components in the construction of a mid-rise multifamily apartment building in Denver, Colorado (the "2020 Lawrence Project"). The Colorado Energy Loan has a term of 10 years and an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Colorado Energy Loan will mature on June 11, 2022. Zocalo has pledged all of its membership interests, both currently owned and subsequently acquired, in JV 2020 Lawrence as collateral for the Colorado Energy Loan. Pursuant to an authorizing resolution adopted by the members of JV 2020 Lawrence, Zocalo advanced the proceeds of the Colorado Energy Loan, as received from time to time, to JV 2020 Lawrence for application to the 2020 Lawrence Project. Such advances to JV 2020 Lawrence will not be considered contributions of capital to JV 2020 Lawrence. Also, Zocalo is authorized and directed to cause JV 2020 Lawrence to repay such advances, including principal and interest, made by Zocalo at such times as required by the Colorado Energy Loan. Any payments pursuant to the authorizing resolution shall be payable only from surplus cash of the 2020 Lawrence Project as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in the governing regulatory agreement of the primary financing on the project as described above. If surplus cash is not available to satisfy Zocalo's payment obligations under the Colorado Energy Loan, then either Zocalo or BIR 2020 may issue a funding notice, pursuant to the JV 2020 Lawrence limited liability company agreement, for payment obligation amounts due and payable. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Colorado Energy Loan was $1,250,000.

Based on the fair value analysis using the same method as described in Note 4 - Mortgage Notes Payable, the Company has determined that the fair value of the "Note payable - other" approximated $1,352,000 and $1,287,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

8.    EQUITY / DEFICIT

The payments were treated as distributions attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Operating Partnership and are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Deficit.

The Company’s policy to provide for common distributions is based on available cash and Board approval.

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as those relating to tenant issues.  All such proceedings taken together are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.  While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

related to its obligation to achieve certain revenue targets at the properties. Additionally, the Company has guaranteed payment of the obligation under the Credit Facility, in full, when due at maturity or otherwise.

11.    DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes interest rate caps to add stability to interest expense, to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and as required by our lenders when entering into variable interest mortgage debt.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired an interest rate cap related to its investment in Berkshires of Columbia. The derivative instrument was obtained as a requirement by the lender under the terms of the financing and limits increases in interest costs of the variable rate debt.

On November 12, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Company approved an amendment to the advisory services agreement with Berkshire Advisor which included an incentive advisory fee component to the existing asset management fees payable to Berkshire Advisor (the "Advisory Services Amendment") pursuant to Berkshire Advisor's Supplemental Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Supplemental Plan"). The Advisory Services Amendment became effective January 1, 2010 and provides for an incentive advisory fee based on the increase in fair value of the Company, as calculated and approved by management, over the base value ("Base Value").  The Company accrues incentive advisory fees payable to Berkshire Advisor at 10%, which can be increased to 12% from time to time, based on the increase in fair value of the Company above the Base Value established by the Advisor.  On May 12, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Company approved an amendment to the Supplemental Plan which allows reissuance of previously forfeited or settled carried interests. The Company has recorded $2,673,419 and $1,373,780 of incentive advisory fees during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Additional limits have been placed on the total amount of payments that can be made by the Company in any given year, with interest accruing at the rate of 7% on any payments due but not yet paid.  The Company made $396,635 and $690,668 of incentive advisory fee payments during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Overview

The Company is engaged primarily in the acquisition, ownership, operation, development and rehabilitation of multifamily apartment communities in the Baltimore/Washington D.C., Southeast, Southwest, Northwest and Western areas of the United States. We conduct substantially all of our business and own, either directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets through Berkshire Income Realty-OP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership").  The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, BIR GP, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.

As of August 13, 2014, the Company owns 100% of the preferred limited partner units of the Operating Partnership, whose terms mirror the terms of the Company’s Series A 9% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and, through BIR GP, L.L.C., owns 100% of the general partner interest of the Operating Partnership, which represents approximately 2.39% of the common economic interest of the Operating Partnership.

23

Our general and limited partner interests in the Operating Partnership entitle us to share in cash distributions from, and in the profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to our percentage interest therein. The other partners of the Operating Partnership are affiliates who contributed their direct or indirect interests in certain properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.

Our highlights of the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 included the following:

On January 16, 2014, the Company closed on a $44,000,000 mortgage loan refinancing for Berkshires of Columbia. The mortgage has a variable interest rate of 2.43% above the 1-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and will mature on February 1, 2024. As part of the refinancing, proceeds from the new mortgage were used to pay off three existing loans on the Berkshire of Columbia property totaling $32,254,893.

On January 16, 2014, the Board authorized the general partner of the Operating Partnership to make a special distribution of $20,000,000 from proceeds of the supplemental loan on Seasons of Laurel and the refinancing of Berkshires of Columbia to the common general and noncontrolling interest partners in Operating Partnership, which was paid on January 17, 2014.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had approximately $17,592,000 and $15,255,000 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively.  Cash provided and used by the Company for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(781,992	)	$	3,280,980		$	3,145,635		$	7,980,119
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities	41,093,246			26,883,104			(24,383,487		)	21,192,944
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(36,731,327		)	(18,664,547		)	23,574,851			(20,615,341		)

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, cash increased by approximately $2,337,000.  

The Company's net cash flow from operating activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 decreased by $4,834,000 from the same period in 2013 primarily due to $2,004,000 of higher interest expense and $616,000 decrease in cash attributable to changes in assets and liabilities, partially offset by $138,000 higher Net Operating Income ("NOI") (see page 37 for more detail).

The Company's net cash outflow from investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 increased by $45,576,000 from the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to $60,611,000 used for acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace, EON at Lindbergh and Aura Prestonwood and $40,835,000 in restricted cash related to the reverse exchange transaction under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. The increase in cash outflow was partially offset by $74,669,000 of sale proceeds from property dispositions received for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to $30,959,000 received during the same period in 2013. The Company also received $12,580,000 of distributions from its investment in unconsolidated multifamily entities during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 but did not receive any distributions during the comparable period in 2013.

Cash used in financing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 increased by $44,190,000 from the same period in 2013, primarily due to net borrowing from the credit facilities of $80,000,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1,627,000 in the comparable period of 2013. The increase was offset by net cash outflow for mortgage notes of $27,998,000 in the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $15,111,000 in the comparable period of 2013 and aggregate distributions of $21,362,000 made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2,360,000 made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

The Company's principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions to our preferred and common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders based on availability of cash and approval of the Board, capital improvements, rehabilitation projects and repairs and maintenance for the properties, debt repayment, ongoing development projects and acquisition and development of additional properties within the investment restrictions placed on it by BVF III.

The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operating activities and advances from the credit facility. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to meet all operating

25

requirements and make distributions to its preferred stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to REITs. Funds required to make distributions to our preferred shareholders that are not provided by operating activities will be supplemented by property debt financing and refinancing activities, property sales and advances on the credit facilities. Funds required to make distributions to common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders are funded by operating and refinancing proceeds.

The Company intends to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through property sales, property debt financing and refinancing, noting that possible interest rate increases could negatively impact the Company's ability to refinance existing debt at acceptable rates. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $161,489,000 of principal, or 31.2% of the Company’s outstanding mortgage debt, is due to be repaid through 2016.  During that period, principal of $35,238,000, $54,722,000 and $60,748,000 relates to loans that are due to mature and be repaid in full in 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.  The Company has executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell Bridgewater and Lakeridge, which are the only remaining properties that have debt maturities in 2014. In addition, Reserves at Arboretum, Yorktowne, Country Place I and Country Place II, which have mortgage loans maturing in 2015 and 2016, are under agreement to be sold in 2014. All other payments of principal during the three-year period are normal recurring monthly payments in accordance with the loan amortization schedules.  The Company expects to fund any maturing mortgages through refinancing of such mortgages or through the sale of the related properties. Additionally, the Company may seek to expand its purchasing power through the use of joint venture relationships with other companies with liquidity.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has fixed interest rate mortgage financing on all properties in the portfolio with the exception of Walnut Creek which had no mortgage, and Berkshires of Columbia, Bridgewater and Aura Prestonwood, which have variable interest rate debt.

On June 12, 2012, Zocalo Community Development, Inc. ("Zocalo"), the managing member of the joint venture ("JV 2020 Lawrence") of the Operating Partnership's subsidiary, BIR 2020 Lawrence, L.L.C. ("BIR 2020") with Zocalo and JB 2020, LLC, entered into a financing agreement with the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Energy Office, for $1,250,000 (the "Colorado Energy Loan") to be used for inclusion of energy efficient components in the construction of JV 2020 Lawrence's multifamily apartment building (the "2020 Lawrence Project"). Zocalo has pledged all of its membership interests, both currently owned and subsequently acquired, in JV 2020 Lawrence as collateral for the Colorado Energy Loan. Pursuant to an authorizing resolution adopted by the members of JV 2020 Lawrence, Zocalo will advance the proceeds of the Colorado Energy Loan, as received from time to time, to JV 2020 Lawrence for application to the 2020 Lawrence Project. Such advances to JV 2020 Lawrence will not be considered contributions of capital to JV 2020 Lawrence. Also, Zocalo is authorized and directed to cause JV 2020 Lawrence to repay such advances, including principal and interest, made by Zocalo at such times as required by the Colorado Energy Loan. Any payments pursuant to the authorizing resolution shall be payable only from surplus cash of the 2020 Lawrence Project as defined by U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in the governing regulatory agreement of the primary financing on the project as describe above. If surplus cash is not available to satisfy Zocalo's payment obligations under the Colorado Energy Loan, then either Zocalo or BIR 2020, may issue a funding notice, pursuant to the JV 2020 Lawrence limited liability company agreement, for payment obligation amounts due and payable.

The Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility in place with an affiliate of the Company ("Credit Facility - Affiliate").  The Credit Facility - Affiliate does not have a stated maturity date but is subject to a 60-day notice of termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the commitment. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were no outstanding balances on the Credit Facility - Affiliate.

The Company has a $90,000,000 Credit Facility with an unaffiliated lender. The Credit Facility will be used to facilitate property acquisitions and to fund the development activities of the Company. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $80,000,000 and $0 outstanding on the Credit Facility, respectively.

Capital Expenditures

The Company paid $1,551,280 and $2,001,545 in recurring capital expenditures during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Recurring capital expenditures typically include items such as appliances, carpeting, flooring, HVAC equipment, kitchen and bath cabinets, site improvements and various exterior building improvements.

The Company paid $10,362,323 and $7,403,662 in renovation-related and development capital expenditures during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Renovation-related capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures of a significant non-recurring nature, including construction management fees payable to an affiliate of the Company, where the Company expects to see a financial return on the expenditure or where the Company believes the expenditure preserves the status of a property within its submarket. Costs directly associated with the development of properties are capitalized. Additionally, the Company capitalizes interest, real estate taxes, insurance and project management/development fees. Management uses judgment to determine when a development project commences and capitalization begins and when a development project is substantially complete and capitalization ceases. Generally, most capitalization begins during the pre-construction period, defined as activities that are necessary to start the development of the property. A development is generally considered substantially complete after major construction has ended and the property is available for occupancy. For properties that are built in phases, capitalization generally ceases on each phase when it is considered substantially complete and ready for use. Costs will continue to be capitalized only on those phases under development.

On December 12, 2011, the Company executed a limited liability company agreement with an unrelated entity related to the Walnut Creek Project, a 141-unit multifamily apartment development project located in Walnut Creek, California, which is currently in the entitlement phase. Once fully invested, the Company's ownership percentage will be 98%. As of June 30, 2014, the project development costs incurred were approximately $10.1 million, of the total budgeted costs of approximately $68.6 million.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company has made capital contributions of approximately $9.5 million, or 35.3% of its current total commitment. The Walnut Creek Project was delayed by environmental and regulatory requirements and budget finalization. The construction began in July 2014. The Company consolidates its investment in the Walnut Creek Project.

On January 22, 2014, the Company executed a joint venture limited liability company agreement with an unrelated entity related to the Prestonwood Project, a 322-unit multifamily apartment development project located in Dallas, Texas. The Company's ownership percentage in the project is 95%. As of June 30, 2014, the project development costs incurred were approximately $16.8 million, of the total budgeted costs of approximately $44.4 million.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

The Company's portfolio (the "Total Property Portfolio") consists of all properties acquired or placed in service and owned at any time during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As a result of changes in the Total Portfolio over time, including the change in the portfolio holdings during six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the financial statements show considerable changes in revenue and expenses from period to period. The Company does not believe that its period-to-period financial data are comparable. Therefore, the Company also presents the comparison of operating results for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 reflect changes attributable to the properties that were owned by the Company throughout each period presented (the "Same Property Portfolio").

“Net Operating Income” (“NOI”) falls within the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure” as stated in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  The Company believes NOI is a measure of operating results that is useful to investors to analyze the performance of a real estate company because it provides a direct measure of the operating results of the Company’s multifamily apartment communities. The Company also believes it is a useful measure to facilitate the comparison of operating performance among competitors.  The calculation of NOI requires classification of income statement items between operating and non-operating expenses, where operating items include only those items of revenue and expense which are directly related to the income producing activities of the properties.  We believe that to achieve a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance, NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss).  Management uses NOI to evaluate the operating results of properties without reflecting the effect of capital decisions such as the issuance of mortgage debt and investments in capital items; in turn, these capital decisions have an impact on interest expense and depreciation and amortization.

The most directly comparable financial measure of the Company’s NOI, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is net income (loss), shown on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.  For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net income was $54,062,703 and $14,531,303, respectively. For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, net income was $50,678,923 and $10,534,627, respectively. A reconciliation of the Company’s NOI to net income (loss) for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is presented as part of the following tables.

(Same Property Portfolio)

Revenue

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 in comparison to the same period of 2013.  The increase in rental revenue is mainly attributable to increase in rental rates. Average monthly rental rates for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 of $1,283 per apartment unit increased by 2.23% over the 2013 rental rates of $1,255 for the same period, contributing to an increase of approximately $381,000 in rental revenue. Average physical occupancy for the 2014 Same Property Portfolio was 96.43%, above the 2013 average of 95.99%, attributing to $16,000 increase in rental revenue. Market conditions remain stable in the majority of the submarkets in which the Company owns and operates apartments. Improving economic conditions and the continued strength in the apartment markets has allowed the Company to implement rent increases at properties in strong markets while maintaining occupancy and retaining high quality tenants throughout the portfolio.

Utility reimbursement and other revenue

Same Property Portfolio utility reimbursement and other revenue increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to increased utility reimbursements as a result of higher utility expenses for the applicable billing period, as the majority of utility expenses are billed back to tenants.

The table below breaks out the two major components of utility reimbursement and other revenue:

Operating Expenses

Operating

Operating expenses increased during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013. Property-related G&A increased as a result of higher state income taxes at the Company's property located in Philadelphia and higher property-related legal expenses.

The following table breaks out the major components of operating expense:

	Same Property Portfolio
	Three months ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Increase/ (Decrease)			% Change

Total Operating	$	3,628,058	$	3,574,217	$	53,841		1.51	%

Maintenance

Maintenance expenses increased during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013, mainly due to increases in repairs. Management continues to employ a proactive maintenance rehabilitation strategy at its apartment communities and considers the strategy an effective program that preserves, and in some cases, increases occupancy levels through improved consumer appeal of the apartment communities, from both an interior and exterior perspective.

The table below breaks out the major components of maintenance expense:

34

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 from the comparable period of 2013 primarily due to increases at Standard at Lenox Park and Estancia Townhomes. The Company continually scrutinizes the assessed values of its properties and participates in arbitration hearings or similar forums with the taxing authorities to appeal increases in assessed values that it considers to be unreasonable. The Company has been successful in achieving tax abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made to the assessed values. Going forward, the Company anticipates a general upward trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place significant reliance on property tax revenue.

Management Fees

Management fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 as a result of an increase in total revenue of the operating properties.

Non-Operating Expenses

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of the Same Property Portfolio decreased for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The decrease is a result of assets that have been fully depreciated, partially offset by the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by normal recurring capital expenditures.

Interest, inclusive of amortization of deferred financing fees

Interest expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 increased over the comparable period of 2013 primarily due to higher loan balance and change in interest cap on Berkshires of Columbia and higher interest expenses incurred on the supplemental loan at Seasons of Laurel that closed in December 2013, which was partially offset by lower interest rates for Berkshires of Columbia and Bridgewater mortgages as mortgages for both properties have been converted to variable interest rate debt.

Comparison of the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 to the three-month period ended June 30, 2013

(Total Property Portfolio)

In addition to the revenue and expense analysis discussed with respect to the Same Property Portfolio, changes in revenue, total operating expenses and non-operating expenses of the Total Property Portfolio for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 are also due to the fluctuations in the actual properties owned during the comparative periods.  Total revenue increased mainly due to revenue from Pavilion Townplace of approximately $1,314,000 and EON at Lindbergh of $1,424,000, which were acquired in the first quarter of 2014, in addition to higher occupancy at 2020 Lawrence as the property was in lease-up period throughout 2013 after the construction was completed in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to increased incentive advisory fee and operating expenses at Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh. (Refer to Related Party Transactions on page 20 for further discussion.) Non-operating expenses increased mainly due to increased interest expenses incurred on the Credit Facility, loss on extinguishment debt for the properties sold during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, and amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships of Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh.

Comparison of the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013

(Same Property Portfolio)

Revenue

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 in comparison to the same period of 2013.  The increase in rental revenue is mainly attributable to increase in rental rates. Average monthly rental rates for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 of $1,279 per apartment unit increased by 2.24% over the 2013 rental rates of $1,251 for the same period, contributing to an increase of approximately $710,000 in rental revenue. Average physical occupancy for the 2014 Same Property Portfolio was 95.90%, above the 2013 average of 95.62%, attributing to $28,000 increase in rental revenue. Market conditions remain stable in the majority of the submarkets in which the Company owns and operates apartments. Improving economic conditions and the continued strength in the apartment markets has allowed the Company to implement rent increases at properties in strong markets while maintaining occupancy and retaining high quality tenants throughout the portfolio.

Total Rental	$	32,045,096		$	31,307,716		$	737,380	2.36	%

Utility reimbursement and other revenue

Same Property Portfolio utility reimbursement and other revenue increased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, due primarily to increased utility reimbursements as a result of higher utility expenses for the applicable billing period, as the majority of utility expenses are billed back to tenants.

The table below breaks out the two major components of utility reimbursement and other revenue:

Operating Expenses

Operating

Operating expenses increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013. Utilities expenses were higher due to an unusually cold winter. Property-related G&A increased as a result of higher franchise taxes incurred at the Company's Texas properties, higher state income taxes at the Company's property located in Philadelphia and higher property-related legal expenses. The increase in operating expenses were also attributable to loss recognized on fixed assets that were replaced as a result of insurance-related events.

The following table breaks out the major components of operating expense:

	Same Property Portfolio
	Six months ended June 30,
	2014		2013			Increase/ (Decrease)			% Change

Total Operating	$	7,645,596	$	7,344,955		$	300,641		4.09	%

Maintenance

Maintenance expenses increased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of 2013, mainly due to increases in repairs and snow removal. Management continues to employ a proactive maintenance rehabilitation strategy at its apartment communities and considers the strategy an effective program that preserves, and in some cases, increases occupancy levels through improved consumer appeal of the apartment communities, from both an interior and exterior perspective.

The table below breaks out the major components of maintenance expense:

	Same Property Portfolio
	Six months ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Increase/ (Decrease)			% Change

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes increased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 from the comparable period of 2013 primarily due to increases at Standard at Lenox Park and Estancia Townhomes. The Company continually scrutinizes the assessed values of its properties and participates in arbitration hearings or similar forums with the taxing authorities to appeal increases in assessed values that it considers to be unreasonable. The Company has been successful in achieving tax abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made to the assessed values. Going forward, the Company anticipates a general upward trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place significant reliance on property tax revenue.

Management Fees

Management fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 as a result of an increase in total revenue of the operating properties.

Non-Operating Expenses

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of the Same Property Portfolio decreased for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The decrease is a result of assets that have been fully depreciated, partially offset by the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by normal recurring capital expenditures.

Interest, inclusive of amortization of deferred financing fees

Interest expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 decreased over the comparable period of 2013 primarily due to lower interest rates for Berkshires of Columbia and Bridgewater mortgages as mortgages for both properties have been converted to variable interest rate debt, which was partially offset by the higher loan balance on Berkshires of Columbia and higher interest expenses incurred on the supplemental loan at Seasons of Laurel that closed in December 2013.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships

Amortization of acquired in-place-leases and tenant relationships decreased during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.  The decrease is related to the completion of amortization of the acquired-in-place lease and tenant relationships intangible assets recorded at acquisition and amortized over a 24-month period, which did not extend into the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

Comparison of the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013

(Total Property Portfolio)

In addition to the revenue and expense analysis discussed with respect to the Same Property Portfolio, changes in revenue, total operating expenses and non-operating expenses of the Total Property Portfolio for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 are also due to the fluctuations in the actual properties owned during the comparative periods.  Total revenue increased mainly due to revenue from Pavilion Townplace of approximately $1,480,000 and EON at Lindbergh of $1,578,000, which were acquired in the first quarter of 2014, in addition to increase in rental revenue of approximately $1,350,000 due to higher occupancy at 2020 Lawrence as the property was in lease-up period throughout 2013 after the construction was completed in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily attributable to acquisition costs related to Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh expensed pursuant to the guidance of ASC 805-10 and other operating expenses at the properties, in addition to increased incentive advisory fees. (Refer to Related Party Transactions on page 20 for further discussion.) Non-operating expenses increased mainly due to increased interest expenses incurred on the Credit Facility, loss on extinguishment debt for the properties sold during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, and amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships of Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh.

Funds From Operations

The Company follows the revised definition of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  Management considers 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, impairments, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  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 consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. 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 is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and presented 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 (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Net income	$	54,062,703		$	14,531,303		$	50,678,923		$	10,534,627
Add:
Depreciation of real property	6,339,996			5,615,658			11,796,977			11,175,225
Depreciation of real property included in results of discontinued operations	—			256,118			—			513,336
Amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships	745,203			—			745,203			5,377

Equity in income of unconsolidated multifamily entities	(12,292,944		)	—			(12,975,436		)	—
Funds from Operations	$	(1,619,373	)	$	2,839,413		$	(77,810	)	$	5,633,018

FFO decreased for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in FFO is mainly attributable to the acquisition costs related to Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh expensed pursuant to the guidance of ASC 805-10, loss on extinguishment of debt for properties sold during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, increased incentive advisory fee and increased interest expenses incurred on the Credit Facility. Further, the decrease in FFO is also attributable to the loss of operating income provided by assets that were sold in the second quarter of 2013, which were partially offset by higher net operating income from the balance of the portfolio driven by higher rents and added operations from the 2020 Lawrence Project, Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh.

41

Environmental Issues

There are no recorded amounts resulting from environmental liabilities because there are no known contingencies with respect to environmental liabilities. The Company obtains environmental audits, through various sources including lender evaluations and acquisition due diligence, for each of its properties at various intervals throughout a property's life. The Company has not been advised by any third party as to the existence of, nor has it identified on its own, any material liability for site restoration or other costs that may be incurred with respect to any of its properties. The Company re-evaluates potential environmental liabilities on an annual basis by reviewing the current properties in the portfolio at year end as the portfolio continues to change with the sale and acquisition of properties.

Inflation and Economic Conditions

Substantially all of the leases at our properties are for a term of one year or less, which enables the Company to seek increased rents for new leases or upon renewal of existing leases. These short-term leases minimize the potential adverse effect of inflation on rental income, although residents may leave without penalty at the end of their lease terms and may do so if rents are increased significantly.

During 2014, the multifamily sector has continued to exhibit improved performance and strong fundamentals on a national basis due to sustained higher rent levels and continued stable occupancies due to ongoing favorable apartment unit supply and demand mix. Continued reduced levels of new unit construction and home ownership rates in the apartment sector have driven demand in recent years to a 10-year low national vacancy rate. Improved capital markets have had a favorable impact on the sale of multifamily assets with transaction volumes reaching five-year highs in recent years.

As had been the case during the previous downturn in the economy, creditworthy borrowers in the multifamily sector continue to have access to capital through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and other sources, at favorable interest rates. There is no assurance that under existing or future regulatory restrictions this source of capital, unique to multifamily borrowers, will continue to be available.

The Company believes that projected demographic trends will continue to favor the multifamily sector, driven primarily by the overall population growth, decrease in homeownership and the continued flow of prime renters (those under 35 years old), the fastest growing segment of the population. The Company's properties are generally located in markets where zoning restrictions, scarcity of land and high construction costs create significant barriers to new development. The Company believes it is well positioned to manage its portfolio and to take advantage of current trends in the apartment sector to create value.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is applied prospectively and is effective in 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning April 1, 2014. Prior to April 1, 2014, disposed properties are presented in discontinued operations.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additional, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

The Company has fully funded its obligations under the partnership agreement as of June 30, 2014 and has no commitment to make additional contributions to BVF.

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of investments in real estate in accordance with ASC 805-10, which requires the fair value of the real estate acquired be allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building, furniture, fixtures and equipment and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of the above-market and below-market leases, the value of in-place leases and the value of other tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The value of in-place leases and tenant relationships is determined based on the specific expiration dates of the in-place leases and amortized over a period of 12 months and the tenant relationships are based on the straight-line method of amortization over a 24-month period.

The Company evaluated the carrying value of its multifamily apartment communities for impairment pursuant to ASC 360-10. The Company did not record an impairment adjustment during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 or twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013.

(1) This amount represents the difference between the Company’s investment in BVF and its share of the underlying equity in the net assets of BVF (adjusted to conform with GAAP).  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the differential was comprised mainly of $583,240, which represents the Company’s share of syndication costs incurred by BVF that the Company was not required to fund via a separate capital call.

The carrying value of the investment is $0 at December 31, 2013, as distributions from the investment have exceeded the Company's invested equity as adjusted for the Company's share of gains and losses over the holding period of the investment. The Company resumed equity method earnings in BVF during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as its share of BVF's earnings during the period exceeded the excess distribution recognized as equity in income of unconsolidated limited partnership previously by the Company.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on July 19, 2002 and 100 Class B common shares were issued upon organization.  The Company is in the business of acquiring, owning, operating, developing and rehabilitating multifamily apartment communities.  As of June 30, 2014, the Company owned, or had an interest in, 18 multifamily apartment communities consisting of 5,281 total apartment units, two multifamily development projects and two unconsolidated multifamily entities. The Company conducts its business through Berkshire Income Realty-OP, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").

The Company elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under Section 856 of the Tax Code (the "Code"), with the filing of its first tax return. As a result, the Company generally is not subject to federal corporate income tax on its taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. A REIT is subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its annual taxable income. The Company's policy is to make sufficient distributions of its taxable income to meet the REIT distribution requirements. The Company must also meet other operational requirements with respect to its investments, assets and income. The Company monitors these various requirements on a quarterly basis and believes that as of and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, it was in compliance on all such requirements. Accordingly, the Company has made no provision for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Company is subject to certain state level taxes based on the location of its properties.

Discussion of acquisitions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014

On January 22, 2014, the Company executed a joint venture limited liability company agreement with an unrelated entity for the development of Aura Prestonwood, a 322-unit multifamily apartment project located in Dallas, Texas (the "Prestonwood Project"). The Company has a 95% interest in the joint venture and has made a commitment to invest $12,643,500 in the project, which has been fully funded. Simultaneously with the execution of the limited liability company agreement, the joint venture acquired the land where the multifamily apartment project is being built. The cost of the land was $7,302,960 and consideration of $1,000,000 was paid at closing for the option to acquire the abutting land parcel at a future time.

On March 20, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiaries, BIR Pavilion, L.L.C. and BIR Eon, L.L.C., completed the acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace, a 236-unit multifamily apartment community located in Dallas, Texas and EON at Lindbergh, a 352-unit multifamily apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia, respectively.

The purchase prices for Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh were $56,000,000 and $64,000,000, respectively, and were subject to loan assumptions, normal operating prorations and adjustments as provided for in the purchase and sale agreements. The Company has designated these properties to qualify as replacement properties in a reverse exchange transaction, under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, for properties identified to be sold in 2014. The Company has 180 days from the acquisition of the replacement properties to complete the reverse exchange transaction.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which raises the threshold for determining which disposals are required to be presented as discontinued operations and modifies related disclosure requirements. The standard is applied prospectively and is effective in 2015 with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt this standard effective with the interim period beginning April 1, 2014. Prior to April 1, 2014, disposed properties are presented in discontinued operations.

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In adopting ASU 2014-09, companies may use either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Additional, this guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations.

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited; however, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair statement for the interim periods have been included.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, comprehensive income (loss) equaled net income (loss).  Therefore, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Loss required to be presented have been omitted from the consolidated financial statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company utilizes interest rate caps to add stability to interest expense, to manage our exposure to interest rate movements and as required by our lenders when entering into variable interest mortgage debt. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts if interest rates rise above a certain level in exchange for an upfront premium.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired an interest rate cap related to its investment in Berkshires of Columbia. The derivative instrument was obtained as a requirement by the lender under the terms of the financing and limits increases in interest costs of the variable rate debt. The interest rate cap limits that interest exposure on the variable rate mortgage to 4.25% of the total mortgage amount of $44,000,000. The instrument matures on February 1, 2018. As of June 30, 2014, the value of the interest rate cap is $101,521 and is included in "Prepaid expenses and other assets".

The Company did not own any derivative instruments as of December 31, 2013.

Debt Disclosure [Text Block]

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY - AFFILIATE

On June 30, 2005, the Company obtained new financing in the form of a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility in the amount of $20,000,000 was provided by an affiliate of the Company (the "Credit Facility - Affiliate"). The Credit Facility - Affiliate was amended on May 31, 2007 to add additional terms to the Credit Facility - Affiliate ("Amendment No. 1"), on February 17, 2011 to add an amendment period with a temporary increase in the commitment amount to $40,000,000 ("Amendment No. 2"), and on May 24, 2011 to increase the commitment fee ("Amendment No. 3"). The Credit Facility - Affiliate provides for interest on borrowings at a rate of 5% above the 30-day LIBOR rate, as announced by Reuter's, and fees based on borrowings under the Credit Facility - Affiliate and various operational and financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a maximum debt service ratio. The agreement had a maturity date of December 31, 2006, with a one-time six-month extension available at the option of the Company. The terms of the Credit Facility - Affiliate were agreed upon through negotiations and were approved by the Audit Committee (which committee is comprised of our three directors who are independent under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE MKT LLC) ("Audit Committee"). Subsequent to its exercise of extension rights, the Company on May 31, 2007 executed Amendment No.1 that provides for an extension of the maturity date by replacing the then current maturity date of June 30, 2007 with a 60-day notice of termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the commitment under the agreement and render all outstanding amounts due and payable. Amendment No. 1 also added a clean-up requirement to the agreement, which requires the borrower to repay in full all outstanding loans and have no outstanding obligations under the agreement for a 14 consecutive day period during each 365-day period. The clean-up requirement for the current 365-day period was satisfied on July 9, 2013.

On February 17, 2011, the Company executed Amendment No. 2 which provides for a temporary modification of certain provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate during a period commencing with the date of execution and ending on July 31, 2012 (the "Amendment Period"), subject to extension. During the Amendment Period, certain provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate were modified and included: an increase in the amount of the commitment from $20,000,000 to $40,000,000; elimination of the leverage ratio covenant and clean-up requirement (each as defined in the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement); and computation and payment of interest on a quarterly basis. At the conclusion of the Amendment Period, including extensions, the provisions modified pursuant to Amendment No. 2 reverted back to the provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement prior to the Amendment Period.

On May 24, 2011, the Company executed Amendment No. 3 which limits the total commitment fee provided for in the agreement to be no greater than $400,000 in the aggregate.

On July 31, 2012, the provisions of the Amendment Period, as described above, expired as the Company did not exercise the extension provision to the Amendment Period of the Credit Facility - Affiliate, as provided for in Amendment No. 2. As a result, the specific provisions, which had been modified pursuant to Amendment No. 2, reverted back to the original provisions of the Credit Facility - Affiliate agreement prior to the Amendment Period.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company borrowed $0 and $1,627,000, respectively, under the Credit Facility - Affiliate and did not repay any outstanding balances during the same periods.  The Company incurred interest charges of $0 and $32,981 related to the Credit Facility - Affiliate during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company did not pay any commitment fees during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013. There was no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility - Affiliate as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

On November 1, 2013, the Company, through its joint venture partnership for the development of the 141-unit apartment building in Walnut Creek, California (the "Walnut Creek Project"), acquired the land associated with the development project. The Company assumed the seller's outstanding land loan in the amount of $4,828,495. The assumed land loan had a fixed interest rate of 6.00% and matured on March 31, 2014, at which point it was paid off in the amount of $4,828,495.

On January 16, 2014, the Company closed on a $44,000,000 mortgage loan refinancing for Berkshires of Columbia and paid off the three existing mortgages totaling $32,254,894. The refinanced mortgage bears interest at a variable rate of 2.43% above the 1-month London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and matures on February 1, 2024.

On January 22, 2014, the Company through the joint venture formed with its subsidiary, BRD Arapaho, L.L.C. and TRG Prestonwood, L.P., entered into a loan agreement totaling up to $31,054,212 for the development of Aura Prestonwood, a 322-unit multifamily apartment project in Dallas, Texas. The loan has a variable interest rate of 2.50% above the 1-month LIBOR and matures on January 22, 2017. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding balance on the loan was $2,253,335.

On March 20, 2014, the Company, through its subsidiaries, BIR Pavilion, L.L.C. and BIR Eon, L.L.C., assumed mortgage notes payable with outstanding balances of $25,571,949 and $42,000,000, respectively, in connection with acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh. Both mortgage notes are collateralized by the related properties. The mortgage on Pavilion Townplace has a fixed interest rate of 5.27% and matures on January 1, 2021. The mortgage on EON at Lindbergh has a fixed interest rate of 4.25% and matures on May 1, 2022. In accordance with ASC 805-10, which requires identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date, the Company determined the fair values of both mortgage notes by calculating the present value of future payments at current interest rates. The fair values at the acquisition date for the mortgages assumed were $27,542,536 for Pavilion Townplace and $42,929,530 for EON at Lindbergh, respectively.

The Company determines the fair value of the mortgage notes payable in accordance with authoritative guidance related to fair value measurement based on the discounted future cash flows at a discount rate that approximates the Company’s current effective borrowing rate for comparable loans (other observable inputs or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the authoritative guidance). For purposes of determining fair value, the Company groups its debt by similar maturity date for purposes of obtaining comparable loan information.  In addition, the Company also considers the loan-to-value percentage of individual loans to determine if further stratification of the loans is appropriate in the valuation model.  Under this approach, debt in excess of 80% loan-to-value is considered similar to mezzanine debt and is valued using a greater interest spread than the average debt pool.  Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the fair value of the mortgage notes payable approximated $554,464,000 and $505,385,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

On June 12, 2012, Zocalo Community Development, Inc. ("Zocalo"), the managing member of the joint venture ("JV 2020 Lawrence") that the Operating Partnership formed with its subsidiary, BIR 2020 Lawrence, L.L.C. ("BIR 2020"), Zocalo and JB 2020, LLC, entered into a financing agreement with the State of Colorado, through the Colorado Energy Office, for $1,250,000 (the "Colorado Energy Loan") to be used for inclusion of energy efficient components in the construction of a mid-rise multifamily apartment building in Denver, Colorado (the "2020 Lawrence Project"). The Colorado Energy Loan has a term of 10 years and an interest rate of 5% per annum. The Colorado Energy Loan will mature on June 11, 2022. Zocalo has pledged all of its membership interests, both currently owned and subsequently acquired, in JV 2020 Lawrence as collateral for the Colorado Energy Loan. Pursuant to an authorizing resolution adopted by the members of JV 2020 Lawrence, Zocalo advanced the proceeds of the Colorado Energy Loan, as received from time to time, to JV 2020 Lawrence for application to the 2020 Lawrence Project. Such advances to JV 2020 Lawrence will not be considered contributions of capital to JV 2020 Lawrence. Also, Zocalo is authorized and directed to cause JV 2020 Lawrence to repay such advances, including principal and interest, made by Zocalo at such times as required by the Colorado Energy Loan. Any payments pursuant to the authorizing resolution shall be payable only from surplus cash of the 2020 Lawrence Project as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") in the governing regulatory agreement of the primary financing on the project as described above. If surplus cash is not available to satisfy Zocalo's payment obligations under the Colorado Energy Loan, then either Zocalo or BIR 2020 may issue a funding notice, pursuant to the JV 2020 Lawrence limited liability company agreement, for payment obligation amounts due and payable. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance on the Colorado Energy Loan was $1,250,000.

Based on the fair value analysis using the same method as described in Note 4 - Mortgage Notes Payable, the Company has determined that the fair value of the "Note payable - other" approximated $1,352,000 and $1,287,000 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Amounts due to affiliates of $2,166,157 and $2,454,167 are included in “Due to affiliates, net” at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and represent intercompany development fees, expense reimbursements, asset management fees and shared services, which consist of amounts due to affiliates of $4,352,124 and $5,070,512 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, and amounts due from affiliates of $2,185,967 and $2,616,345 at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The Company pays property management fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for property management services.  The fees are payable at a rate of 4% of gross income. The Company incurred $1,684,353 and $1,636,509 of property management fees in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company also reimburses Berkshire Advisor for administrative services for our operation, including property management, legal, accounting, data processing, transfer agent and other necessary services. Under the terms of the Advisory Services Agreement, the Company reimburses Berkshire Advisor for actual property employee salary and benefit expenses incurred in the operation of the properties under management. Additionally, Berkshire Advisor allocates a portion of its corporate level personnel and overhead expense to the Company on the basis of an employee's time spent on duties and activities performed on behalf of the Company. Expense reimbursements paid were $132,307 and $98,807 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Salary reimbursements paid were $4,463,277 and $4,549,457 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company pays Berkshire Advisor a fixed annual asset management fee equal to 0.40%, up to a maximum of $1,600,000 in any calendar year, of the purchase price of real estate properties owned by the Company, as adjusted from time to time to reflect the then current fair value of the properties.  Annual asset management fees earned by the affiliate in excess of the $1,600,000 maximum payable by the Company represent fees attributable to and paid by the noncontrolling partners in the properties.  As discussed below, in addition to the fixed fee, effective January 1, 2010, the Company may also pay Berkshire Advisor an incentive advisory fee based on increases in value of the Company that would not be subject to the $1,600,000 maximum.  

On November 12, 2009, the Audit Committee of the Company approved an amendment to the advisory services agreement with Berkshire Advisor which included an incentive advisory fee component to the existing asset management fees payable to Berkshire Advisor (the "Advisory Services Amendment") pursuant to Berkshire Advisor's Supplemental Long Term Incentive Plan (the "Supplemental Plan"). The Advisory Services Amendment became effective January 1, 2010 and provides for an incentive advisory fee based on the increase in fair value of the Company, as calculated and approved by management, over the base value ("Base Value").  The Company accrues incentive advisory fees payable to Berkshire Advisor at 10%, which can be increased to 12% from time to time, based on the increase in fair value of the Company above the Base Value established by the Advisor.  On May 12, 2014, the Audit Committee of the Company approved an amendment to the Supplemental Plan which allows reissuance of previously forfeited or settled carried interests. The Company has recorded $2,673,419 and $1,373,780 of incentive advisory fees during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the accrued liability of $10,566,401 and $8,289,617, respectively, was included in "Due to affiliate, incentive advisory fees" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Payments from the Company to Berkshire Advisor approximate the amounts Berkshire Advisor pays to its employees. Payments to employees by Berkshire Advisor pursuant to the Supplemental Plan are generally paid over a four-year period in quarterly installments. Additional limits have been placed on the total amount of payments that can be made by the Company in any given year, with interest accruing at the rate of 7% on any payments due but not yet paid.  The Company made $396,635 and $690,668 of incentive advisory fee payments during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

The Company pays acquisition fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for acquisition services.  These fees are payable upon the closing of an acquisition of real property.  The fee is equal to 1% of the purchase price of any new property acquired directly or indirectly by the Company.  The purchase price is defined as the capitalized basis of an asset under GAAP, including renovations or new construction costs, or other items paid or received that would be considered an adjustment to basis.  The purchase price does not include acquisition fees and capital costs of a recurring nature.  During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, the Company paid acquisition fees of $560,000 and $640,000 on the acquisitions of Pavilion Townplace and EON at Lindbergh, respectively. The Company did not acquire any properties in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

The Company pays a construction management fee to an affiliate, Berkshire Advisor, for services related to the management and oversight of renovation and rehabilitation projects at its properties.  The Company paid or accrued $109,544 and $119,118 in construction management fees for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The fees are capitalized as part of the project cost in the year they are incurred.

The Company pays development fees to an affiliate, Berkshire Residential Development, L.L.C. ("BRD"), for property development services.  The fees were based on the project’s development and construction costs. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $123,971 and $69,715, respectively, on the 2020 Lawrence Project, the Walnut Creek Project and the Prestonwood Project. The Company did not incur any development fees on the NoMa Project to BRD for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company borrowed $0 and $1,627,000, respectively, under the Credit Facility - Affiliate and did not repay any outstanding balances during the same periods.  The Company incurred interest of $0 and $32,981 related to the Credit Facility - Affiliate during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company did not pay any commitment fees during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013. There was no outstanding balance under the Credit Facility - Affiliate as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

On August 12, 2005, the Company, together with affiliates and other unaffiliated parties, entered into a subscription agreement to invest in the Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund, L.P. (“BVF”), an affiliate of Berkshire Property Advisors, L.L.C. (“Berkshire Advisor” or the “Advisor”).  Under the terms of the agreement and the related limited partnership agreement, the Company and its affiliates agreed to invest up to $25,000,000, or approximately 7%, of the total capital of the partnership.  The Company’s final commitment under the subscription agreement with BVF totaled $23,400,000, which represented an ownership interest of 7% of BVF.  BVF’s investment strategy was to acquire middle-market properties where there is an opportunity to add value through repositioning or rehabilitation.

In accordance with ASC 810-10 issued by FASB, as amended by ASU 2009-17, related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in BVF to determine whether it would qualify as a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.  As a result of the Company’s qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment in BVF is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the fact that the holders of the equity investment at risk lack the power, through voting or similar rights, to direct the activities of BVF that most significantly impact BVF’s economic performance.  Under the terms of the limited partnership agreement of BVF, the general partner of BVF has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of BVF.

After making the determination that its investment in BVF was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of BVF and therefore would be required to consolidate BVF’s balance sheets and result of operations.  This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of BVF, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF that could potentially be significant to the entity based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of BVF.  As a result of fees paid to an affiliate of the general partner of BVF for asset management and other services, the Company has determined that the general partner of BVF has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of BVF while retaining the power to make significant decisions for BVF.  Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the general partner of BVF should consolidate BVF and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in BVF as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $23,400,000 in BVF and had received distributions from BVF of $17,753,897, or approximately 75.9%, of its invested capital. The general partner of BVF is proceeding with BVF's plan to sell the remaining 18 assets in the portfolio.

The summarized statement of assets, liabilities and partners’ equity (deficit) of BVF is as follows:

Carrying value of the Company’s investment in unconsolidated limited partnership (2)	$	791,821		$	—

(1) This amount represents the difference between the Company’s investment in BVF and its share of the underlying equity in the net assets of BVF (adjusted to conform with GAAP).  At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the differential was comprised mainly of $583,240, which represents the Company’s share of syndication costs incurred by BVF that the Company was not required to fund via a separate capital call.

(2) Per the partnership agreement of BVF, the Company’s liability is limited to its investment in BVF.  The Company does not guarantee any third-party debt held by BVF.  The Company has fully funded its obligations under the partnership agreement as of June 30, 2014 and has no commitment to make additional contributions to BVF. The carrying value of the investment is $0 at December 31, 2013, as distributions from the investment have exceeded the Company's invested equity as adjusted for the Company's share of gains and losses over the holding period of the investment. The Company resumed equity method earnings in BVF during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, as its share of BVF's earnings during the period exceeded the excess distribution recognized as equity in income of unconsolidated limited partnership previously by the Company.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in BVF for impairment periodically and records impairment charges when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.  No such other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 or twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013.

The summarized statements of operations of BVF for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,

(1) There were no impairment indicators or impairment writeoffs in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 or 2013.

The Company has determined that its valuation of the real estate was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820-10, as it utilized significant unobservable inputs in its assessment.

(2) During the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, BVF recorded a net gain on the disposition of fifteen properties. The gain on the sale was $225,340,593, of which the Company's share was approximately $15,774,000 and is reflected in the "Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated multifamily entities" for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.

There were no dispositions of property by BVF during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY

On March 2, 2011, the Operating Partnership executed an agreement with Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund II ("BVF II"), an affiliated entity, to create a joint venture, BIR/BVF-II NoMa JV, L.L.C. ("NoMa JV"), to participate in and take an ownership position in a real estate development project. BVF II is the managing member of NoMa JV and has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 67% while the Operating Partnership has a percentage ownership interest of approximately 33%.

Also on March 2, 2011, NoMa JV acquired a 90% interest in NOMA Residential West I, LLC. (“NOMA Residential”).  NOMA Residential has developed and is operating a 603-unit multifamily apartment community in Washington, D.C. (the "NoMa Project"). The remaining 10% interest in NOMA Residential is owned by the developer, an unrelated third party (the “NoMa Developer”).  The governing agreements for NOMA Residential give the NoMa Developer the authority to manage the construction and development of, and subsequent to completion, the day-to-day operations of NOMA Residential.  The agreement also provides for fees to the NoMa Developer, limits the authority of the NoMa Developer and provides for distributions based on percentage interest and thereafter in accordance with achievement of economic hurdles.

In accordance with ASC 810-10, as amended by ASU 2009-17, related to the consolidation of variable interest entities, the Company has performed an analysis of its investment in NoMa JV to determine whether it would qualify as a VIE and whether it should be consolidated or accounted for as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture. As a result of the Company's qualitative assessment to determine whether its investment is a VIE, the Company determined that the investment is a VIE based upon the holders of the equity investment at risk lacking the power, through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.  Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement of NoMa JV, the managing member has the full, exclusive and complete right, power, authority, discretion, obligation and responsibility to make all decisions affecting the business of NoMa JV.

After making the determination that its investment in NoMa JV was a VIE, the Company performed an assessment of which partner would be considered the primary beneficiary of NoMa JV and would be required to consolidate the VIE's balance sheet and results of operations. This assessment was based upon which entity (1) had the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of NoMa JV, and (2) had the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of NoMa JV that could potentially be significant to the VIE based upon the terms of the partnership and management agreements of NoMa JV.  Because the managing member owns two-thirds of the entity and all profits and losses are split pro-rata in accordance with capital accounts, the Company has determined that the managing member has the obligation to absorb the losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE while retaining the power to make significant decisions for NoMa JV.  Based upon this understanding, the Company concluded that the managing member should consolidate NoMa JV and as such, the Company accounts for its investment in NoMa JV as an equity investment in an unconsolidated joint venture.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had invested 100% of its total committed capital amount of $14,520,000 in NoMa JV for an ownership interest of approximately 33% and had recorded $1,710,327 of capitalized interest on the investment. The Company has no obligation to fund capital to NoMa JV in excess of its original commitment of capital of $14,520,000. The NoMa Project was completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

The summarized statement of assets, liabilities and members’ capital of NoMa JV is as follows:

The capitalized interest was computed on the amounts borrowed by the Company to finance its investment in NoMa JV and was not an item required to be funded via a capital call.

(2) Per the limited liability company agreement of NoMa JV, the Company's liability is limited to its investment in NoMa JV. The Company has fully funded its maximum obligation under the limited liability company agreement as of June 30, 2014 and has no commitment to make additional contributions to NoMa JV.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its investment in NoMa JV for impairment periodically and records impairment charges when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.  No such other-than-temporary impairment charges have been recognized during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 or twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013.
