BRT REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2016

Note 1 – Organization and Background

BRT Realty Trust (“BRT” or the “Trust”) is a business trust organized in Massachusetts. BRT owns, operates and develops multi‑family properties and owns and operates other assets, including real estate and a real estate loan.

Generally, the multi‑family properties are acquired with venture partners in transactions in which the Trust contributes 65% to 80% of the equity. At June 30, 2016, the Trust owns 31 multi-family properties with 8,973 units located in 11 states (including 271 units at a property under construction and 350 units at a property in the lease up stage). At June 30, 2016, the net book value of the multi family assets (including real estate asset held for sale) was $685,537,000.

The Trust also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At June 30, 2016, the net book value of the real property included in these other real estate assets was $29,968,000, including a real estate loan of $19,500,000.

BRT conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.

Note 2 – Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of BRT Realty Trust, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIE's") in which the Trust is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Trust’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑family properties, were determined to be VIE’s because the voting rights of some equity investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. In addition, substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. It was determined that the Trust is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The joint venture that owns the Dallas, TX property was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Trust has a controlling financial interest in the entity due to its substantive participating rights.

The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.     

Certain items on the consolidated financial statements for the prior fiscal periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation, including the reclassification of (i) balance sheet and revenue and expense items related to the Newark Joint Venture, which are now reported as discontinued operations and (ii) reclassification of real estate properties and mortgages to held for sale.

7

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Note 3 ‑ Equity

Common Share Dividend Distribution

During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Trust did not declare a dividend on its shares.

Stock Based Compensation

The Trust's Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") permits the Trust to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 600,000 shares. The Plan also allows for the grant of cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards.

Pursuant to the Plan, during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Trust issued restricted stock units (the "Units") to acquire up to 450,000 common shares (the "Pay for Performance Program"). Subject to satisfying a continued service requirement through the five years ending  March 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”),  the Units entitle the recipients to acquire in the aggregate, (i) 200,000 shares (the “TSR Award”) based on achieving, during the Performance Period, certain levels  in  compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in total shareholder return (“TSR”),  and (ii) 200,000 shares  based on achieving, during the Performance Period, certain levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations, as determined pursuant to the performance agreement. In addition, subject to  satisfying the continued service requirement, up to 50,000 shares may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award, based on attaining or failing to attain, during the Performance Period, of CAGR in TSR relative to the CAGR in TSR for the constituent REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment  Index. Recipients of the Units are entitled to receive cash dividends with respect to the common shares underlying the Units as if the underlying shares were outstanding during the Performance Period, if, when, and to the extent, the related Units vests. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the shares underlying the Units are excluded in the outstanding shares reflected on the balance sheet.

For the awards which vest based on TSR, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to assist management in determining the fair value. For the awards which vest based on adjusted funds from operations, the fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense is not recognized on the Units which the Trust does not expect to vest as a result of service conditions or the Trust’s performance expectations. The total amount recorded as deferred compensation with respect to the Units is $2,117,000 and is being charged to General and administrative expense over the approximate five year vesting period. The deferred compensation expense to be recognized is net of certain forfeiture and performance assumptions. The Trust recorded $50,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the Units in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016.

In January 2016, the Trust granted 141,050 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). As of June 30, 2016, an aggregate of 667,025 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2012 Plan and the 2009 Incentive Plan ( collectively the "Prior Plans"). No additional awards may be granted under the Prior Plans. All restricted shares vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For accounting purposes, the restricted shares are not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the earnings per share computation. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recorded $221,000 and $232,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted share awards. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recorded $639,000 and $676,000, respectively of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted share awards. At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, $2,311,000 and $2,184,000 has been deferred

8

as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted share awards. The weighted average vesting period of these restricted shares is 2.6 years.

Share Buyback

In February 2016, pursuant to a share repurchase program then in effect, the Trust purchased 252,000 shares of beneficial interest at the market price of $6.26 for a purchase price , including commission, of $1,584,000.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Trust to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of beneficial interest through September 30, 2017. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Trust purchased 66,554 shares of beneficial interest at an average market price of $7.11 for a purchase price, including commissions, of $474,000.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding during such period. The Units are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of beneficial interest were exercised or converted into shares of beneficial interest or resulted in the issuance of shares of beneficial interest that share in the earnings of the Trust. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding during such period. For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2016, none of the Units are included in the diluted weighted average as they did not meet the applicable performance metrics during such periods.

Basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, were 13,932,515 and 14,101,056, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 14,055,436 and 14,144,236, respectively.

(a) This acquisition of 41.5 acres of land was purchased for development. The initial equity includes funds contributed in connection with the commencement of construction. Acquisition costs of $63,000 related to this development have been capitalized.

The N. Charleston, SC purchase was accounted for as an asset acquisition and the other purchases were accounted for as business combinations. The purchase price for the business combinations is allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on management's estimate of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities at the dates of acquisition.

On June 6, 2016, the Trust sold its partnership interest in a venture that owned a Little Rock, AK property. The Trust sold its interest for $2,342,000 and recognized a gain of $386,000 on the sale.

On July 27, 2016, the Trust entered into a contract to sell the Wichita, KS property for $30,000,000. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions. The Trust anticipates a gain on the sale of the property of approximately $7,700,000 (net of a mortgage prepayment charge of $1,900,000), of which $2,900,000 will be allocated to non-controlling interests.

Note 6 –Discontinued Operations

On February 23, 2016, the Trust sold, through subsidiaries which owned such interests, its equity interests in RBH - TRB Newark Holdings, LLC (the "Newark Joint Venture"), to RBH Partners III, LLC, for $16,900,000 (the "NJV Sale"). The buyer is an affiliate of the Trust's former partners in the Newark Joint Venture. The Trust recognized a gain of $15,467,000 in connection with this sale. In addition, the Trust (i) may be paid up to an additional $900,000 by the newly formed parent of the Newark Joint Venture (“Holdco”) upon the achievement of specified investment returns, development of certain properties, realization of specified cost savings and any one or more of the foregoing and (ii) has been granted a nominal profit participation interest in Holdco. None of these amounts will be recognized until received.

Other than the agreement of the Trust's subsidiary to provide an indemnity with respect to up to $2,800,000 of obligations related to the venture, neither the Trust nor its subsidiaries have any guaranty, indemnity or similar obligations with respect to the Newark Joint Venture.

As a result of the NJV Sale, the mortgage debt in principal amount of $19,500,000 (the “NJV Debt”) owed to the Trust by this venture (which was not included on the Trust's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 as such debt and the interest that had accrued thereon was eliminated in consolidation), is reflected as a real estate loan on the balance sheet at June 30, 2016. The NJV Debt is secured by various contiguous parcels on Market Street (between University Avenue and Washington Street) in Newark, NJ. The site is approximately 68,000 square feet and has approximately 303,000 square feet of rentable space. The NJV Debt matures in June 2017 and bears an annual interest rate of 11%. Six percent (6%) is to be paid on a monthly basis ("Current Interest") and five percent (5%) is deferred (the"Deferred Interest"). Prior to the June 3, 2016 agreement described below, Deferred Interest was to be paid in June 2016 and at maturity in June 2017. At June 30, 2016, the amount of Deferred Interest that has been recognized is $2,212,000.

Effective as of June 3, 2016, the Trust entered into an agreement with the Newark Joint Venture pursuant to which the Trust agreed, among other things, (i) to defer, until September 30, 2016, the payment of the Deferred Interest owed at June 30, 2016, (ii) subject to the Trust's receipt of $750,000 of Deferred Interest, to release certain of the mortgages securing the NJV Debt in connection with the repayment (the "Repayment"), if any, of all or a portion of such debt on or before September 30, 2016, and (iii) in the event a Repayment occurs before September 30, 2016, to defer the payment of any remaining Deferred Interest until the June 2017 maturity of the NJV Debt.

The Advisory Agreement terminated effective December 31, 2015. Effective as of January 1, 2016, the Trust retained certain of its executive officers and its former chairman of the board to provide the services previously provided pursuant to such agreement. The aggregate fee in calendar 2016 for the provision of such services will not exceed $1,150,000. These fees totaled $287,500 in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $575,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

Majestic Property Management Corp., a related party, provides management services to the Trust for certain properties owned by the Trust and joint ventures in which the Trust participates.

Note 12 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

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

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

Junior subordinated notes: At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $16,771,000 and $21,400,000 based on a market interest rate of 6.15% and 6.37%, respectively.

Mortgages payable: At June 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Trust’s mortgages payable is greater than their carrying value by approximately $9,983,000 assuming market interest rates between 2.15% and 4.61% and at September 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of the Trust's mortgages payable was greater than their carrying value by approximately $890,000 assuming market interest rates between 1.99% and 15.00%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Trust believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements.

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

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Trust’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Trust does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Trust’s financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	Carrying and Fair Value		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
			Level 1	Level 2
Financial Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	928	—	$	928

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At June 30, 2016, these derivatives are included in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Trust has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with them utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Trust determined that its derivatives valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

19

Note 13 – Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives, designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Trust's variable-rate debt.

As of June 30, 2016, the Trust had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The agreement between the Trust and its derivatives counterparties provides that if the Trust defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Trust could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreement, was $988,000. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Trust had been in breach of these agreements at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations thereunder at its termination value of $988,000.

Note 14 – New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of the standard is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest, which amends the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, a company will present unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Trust is evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Trust has not elected early adoption and is evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016 that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We are a real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, engaged in the ownership, operation and development of multi‑family properties and the ownership and operation of other assets including real estate and a real estate loan. Effective as of January 1, 2016 we are an internally managed REIT.

Our multi‑family property activities involve the ownership, operation and development of such properties, primarily through joint ventures in which we generally have a 65% to 80% equity interest. At June 30, 2016, we own 31 multi‑family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 8,973 units (including 631 units at two properties, one under construction and one in lease up stage). At June 30, 2016, the net book value of the multi-family assets was $685.5 million and occupancy at the stabilized properties was 93.5%.

We own and operate various other real estate assets. At June 30, 2016, the net book value of the real property included in these other real estate assets was $30.0 million, including a real estate loan of $19.5 million. This real estate loan, which we refer to as the NJV Debt, represents the mortgage debt owed to us by the Newark Joint Venture and is secured by various contiguous parcels on Market Street (between University Avenue and Washington Street) in Newark, NJ.  The NJV Debt matures in June 2017 and bears an annual interest rate of 11%. Six percent (6%) is to be paid on a monthly basis ("Current Interest") and five percent (5%) is deferred (the "Deferred Interest"). Prior to the June 3, 2016 agreement described below the Deferred Interest was to be paid in June 2016 and at maturity in June 2017. During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $2.2 million of Deferred Interest in other income.

Effective as of June 3, 2016, we entered into an agreement with the Newark Joint Venture pursuant to which, among other things, we agreed (i) to defer, until September 30, 2016,  the payment of the Deferred Interest owed at June 30, 2016, (ii) subject to our receipt of $750,000 of Deferred Interest, to release certain of the mortgages securing the NJV Debt in connection with the repayment (the "Repayment") of  all or a portion of such debt on or before September 30, 2016 and (iii) in the event a Repayment occurs before September 30, 2016, to defer the payment of any remaining Deferred Interest until the June 2017 maturity of the NJV Debt.

As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented and excludes properties that were in development or lease up during such periods.

22

Acquisitions and Dispositions During the Quarter Ended June 30, 2016

We acquired three multi-family properties with an aggregate of 986 units for $89.2 million, including mortgage debt of $67.3 million. Commencing July 1, 2016, these properties are expected to generate, on a quarterly basis, $2.7 million of rental revenue, $1.5 million of real estate operating expense, $598,000 of interest expense and $480,000 of depreciation expense.

We sold two multi-family properties with an aggregate of 624 units for $72.8 million and recorded an aggregate gain of $10.3 million, of which $2.3 million was allocated to the non-controlling interest. We also sold a partnership interest in a joint venture which owned a 172 unit property. The proceeds of this sale were $2.4 million and we recognized a gain of $386,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, these three properties generated $2.1 million of rental revenue, $1.0 million of real estate operating expenses, $571,000 of interest expense and $376,000 of depreciation expense.

Other Dispositions in Process

At June 30, 2016, the Sandtown Vista, Atlanta, GA property is classified as a real estate asset held for sale. The closing of this transaction, which we anticipate will occur during the three months ending December 31, 2016, is subject to the lender consenting to the purchaser's assumption of the mortgage debt securing the property and other customary closing conditions. We estimate that during the three months ending December 31, 2016, we will recognize a gain on this sale of approximately $8.8 million, of which approximately $4.0 million will be allocated to the non-controlling interest.

On July 27, 2016, we entered into a contract to sell our Wichita, KS property for $30.0 million. The completion of the sale is subject to customary closing conditions. We expect the closing will occur during the three months ending September 30, 2016. We anticipate that we will recognize a gain on the sale of approximately $7.7 million (net of a mortgage prepayment charge of approximately $1.9 million), of which $2.9 million will be allocated to the non-controlling interest.

Results of Operations – Three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to three months ended June 30, 2015.

Advisor’s fees, related party. The advisory agreement terminated effective December 31, 2015. The services previously provided pursuant to the advisory agreement are now provided by our executive officers and the former chairman of our board at a cost per quarter of $287,500 (the "Replacement Services"). The cost of the Replacement Services is included in general and administrative expense.

Property acquisition costs. These costs, which include acquisition fees of $892,000 paid to our joint venture partners, increased due to the acquisition of three multi-family properties in the three months ended June 30, 2016.

General and administrative. These costs increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of the fees related to the Replacement Services, increased professional fees related to corporate level transactions, and, to a lesser extent, increased compensation costs due to higher compensation levels.

Offsetting the increase are decreases of $1.2 million of depreciation related to three properties sold prior to October 1, 2015 and $1.9 million of depreciation from five properties sold in the nine months ended June 30, 2016.

Other Income and Expenses

Gain on sale of real estate. Inthe nine months ended June 30, 2016, we sold four multi family properties and a cooperative apartment unit for an aggregate of $168.5 million and recognized an aggregate gain of $35.1 million of which $14.6 million was allocated to non-controlling interests. The 2015 period includes the sale of a multi family property for a $2.8 million gain.

Gain on sale of partnership interest. In the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we sold our interest in a joint venture that owned a multi-family property and recognized a gain of $386,000 on the sale.

Loss on extinguishment of debt. We incurred a $2.7 million mortgage prepayment charge in connection with the sale of a property,

Discontinued operations. In the nine months ended ended June 30, 2016, we sold our interest in the Newark Joint Venture and reclassified the operations of the venture to discontinued operations for all comparative periods. The nine months ended June 30, 2016 reflects the gain on the sale of our interest, net of the operating losses incurred during such period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We require funds to acquire properties, repay borrowings and pay operating expenses. Generally, our primary sources of capital and liquidity are the operations of, and distributions from, our multi-family properties, our available

27

cash (including restricted cash), mortgage debt financing and our share of proceeds from the sale of multi-family properties. At June 30, 2016, our available cash, excluding restricted cash of $6.4 million intended for capital improvements at 15 multi-family properties, is approximately $37.7 million.

We anticipate that operating expenses will be funded from cash generated from the operations of the multi-family properties as well as interest income from our real estate loan and that debt service payable through 2017 will be funded from the cash generated from operations of these properties and, if needed, supplemental financings. The mortgage debt with respect to these properties generally is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary holding our interest in the applicable joint venture. Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties is limited by our available cash and the availability of mortgage debt.

We anticipate that the construction and other costs associated with the N. Charleston, SC development project will be funded by capital previously contributed by our joint venture partner and us and in-place construction financing of up to $30.3 million . As of June 30, 2016, $6.8 million has been drawn against the project.

Statements of Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $37.7 million and $16.2 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
Cash flow from operating activities	$	6,898		$	12,005
Cash flow used in investing activities	(41,898		)	(38,583		)
Cash flow from financing activities	57,171			19,583
Net change in cash and cash equivalents	22,171			(6,995		)
Cash and cash equivalents a beginning of year	15,556			23,181
Cash and cash equivalents at end of year	$	37,727		$	16,186

The decrease in cash flow provided by operating activities in 2016 is due to an increase in deposits and escrows and other assets (primarily interest receivable).

The decrease in cash flow used in investing activities in 2016 is due primarily to the reduction in changes in our restricted cash balances at the Newark Joint Venture and our multi-family properties and the purchase of seven operating properties in the current fiscal year, offset by the proceeds from the sale of our Newark Joint Venture interest.

The increase in cash flow from financing activities in 2016 is due primarily to increased mortgage borrowing activity due to the purchase of seven properties and increased other borrowings.

Cash Distribution Policy

We have not paid cash dividends since 2010. At June 30, 2016, we estimate that our net operating loss carry-forward is approximately $30 million to $40 million. Since we can offset our future taxable income, if any, against our tax loss carry-forward until the earlier of 2029 or the tax loss carry-forward has been fully used, we are not currently required by the Internal Revenue Code to pay a dividend to maintain our REIT status.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

28

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations

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

We compute FFO in accordance with the “White Paper on Funds From Operations” issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and NAREIT’s related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepting accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write‑downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non‑real estate assets. Since the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one REIT to another. We compute AFFO by deducting from FFO our straight line rent accruals and deferrals, amortization of restricted stock compensation and amortization of deferred financing costs.

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

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

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

All of our mortgage debt is fixed rate, other than four mortgages, two of which is subject to interest rate swap agreements. With respect to the remaining two variable rate mortgages, an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would reduce annual net income by $443,000 and a decrease of 100 basis points would increase annual net income by $288,000.

As of June 30, 2016, we had two interest rate swap agreements outstanding. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At June 30, 2016, if there had been (i) an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and net unrealized loss on the derivative instruments would have decreased by approximately $1.73 million and (ii) if there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and net unrealized loss on derivative instrument would have increased by approximately $1.65 million. These changes would not have any impact on our net income or cash.

Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would result in an increase, from the current expense, in interest expense of $374,000 and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would result in a $244,000 decrease, from the current expense, in interest expense.

As of June 30, 2016, based on the number of residential units in each state, 27% of our properties are located in Texas, 13% in Florida, 12% in South Carolina, 12% in Georgia, and 9% in Alabama and the remaining 27% in six other states and we are therefore subject to risks associated with the economics in these areas.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Senior Vice President-Finance and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2016 are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Preparation

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of BRT Realty Trust, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIE's") in which the Trust is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Trust’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑family properties, were determined to be VIE’s because the voting rights of some equity investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. In addition, substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. It was determined that the Trust is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The joint venture that owns the Dallas, TX property was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Trust has a controlling financial interest in the entity due to its substantive participating rights.

The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.     

Certain items on the consolidated financial statements for the prior fiscal periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation, including the reclassification of (i) balance sheet and revenue and expense items related to the Newark Joint Venture, which are now reported as discontinued operations and (ii) reclassification of real estate properties and mortgages to held for sale.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of the standard is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest, which amends the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, a company will present unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Trust is evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Trust has not elected early adoption and is evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Common Share Dividend Distribution

During the nine months ended June 30, 2016, the Trust did not declare a dividend on its shares.

Stock Based Compensation

The Trust's Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") permits the Trust to grant stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, up to a maximum of 600,000 shares. The Plan also allows for the grant of cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards.

Pursuant to the Plan, during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Trust issued restricted stock units (the "Units") to acquire up to 450,000 common shares (the "Pay for Performance Program"). Subject to satisfying a continued service requirement through the five years ending  March 31, 2021 (the “Performance Period”),  the Units entitle the recipients to acquire in the aggregate, (i) 200,000 shares (the “TSR Award”) based on achieving, during the Performance Period, certain levels  in  compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in total shareholder return (“TSR”),  and (ii) 200,000 shares  based on achieving, during the Performance Period, certain levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations, as determined pursuant to the performance agreement. In addition, subject to  satisfying the continued service requirement, up to 50,000 shares may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award, based on attaining or failing to attain, during the Performance Period, of CAGR in TSR relative to the CAGR in TSR for the constituent REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment  Index. Recipients of the Units are entitled to receive cash dividends with respect to the common shares underlying the Units as if the underlying shares were outstanding during the Performance Period, if, when, and to the extent, the related Units vests. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the shares underlying the Units are excluded in the outstanding shares reflected on the balance sheet.

For the awards which vest based on TSR, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to assist management in determining the fair value. For the awards which vest based on adjusted funds from operations, the fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense is not recognized on the Units which the Trust does not expect to vest as a result of service conditions or the Trust’s performance expectations. The total amount recorded as deferred compensation with respect to the Units is $2,117,000 and is being charged to General and administrative expense over the approximate five year vesting period. The deferred compensation expense to be recognized is net of certain forfeiture and performance assumptions. The Trust recorded $50,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the Units in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016.

In January 2016, the Trust granted 141,050 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan"). As of June 30, 2016, an aggregate of 667,025 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2012 Plan and the 2009 Incentive Plan ( collectively the "Prior Plans"). No additional awards may be granted under the Prior Plans. All restricted shares vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For accounting purposes, the restricted shares are not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the earnings per share computation. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recorded $221,000 and $232,000, respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted share awards. For the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, the Trust recorded $639,000 and $676,000, respectively of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted share awards. At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015, $2,311,000 and $2,184,000 has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted share awards. The weighted average vesting period of these restricted shares is 2.6 years.

Share Buyback

In February 2016, pursuant to a share repurchase program then in effect, the Trust purchased 252,000 shares of beneficial interest at the market price of $6.26 for a purchase price , including commission, of $1,584,000.

On March 11, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the Trust to repurchase up to $5,000,000 of shares of beneficial interest through September 30, 2017. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Trust purchased 66,554 shares of beneficial interest at an average market price of $7.11 for a purchase price, including commissions, of $474,000.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding during such period. The Units are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of beneficial interest were exercised or converted into shares of beneficial interest or resulted in the issuance of shares of beneficial interest that share in the earnings of the Trust. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common shareholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of beneficial interest outstanding during such period. For the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2016, none of the Units are included in the diluted weighted average as they did not meet the applicable performance metrics during such periods.

Basic and diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, were 13,932,515 and 14,101,056, respectively, and for the nine months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 14,055,436 and 14,144,236, respectively.

Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

On February 23, 2016, the Trust sold, through subsidiaries which owned such interests, its equity interests in RBH - TRB Newark Holdings, LLC (the "Newark Joint Venture"), to RBH Partners III, LLC, for $16,900,000 (the "NJV Sale"). The buyer is an affiliate of the Trust's former partners in the Newark Joint Venture. The Trust recognized a gain of $15,467,000 in connection with this sale. In addition, the Trust (i) may be paid up to an additional $900,000 by the newly formed parent of the Newark Joint Venture (“Holdco”) upon the achievement of specified investment returns, development of certain properties, realization of specified cost savings and any one or more of the foregoing and (ii) has been granted a nominal profit participation interest in Holdco. None of these amounts will be recognized until received.

Other than the agreement of the Trust's subsidiary to provide an indemnity with respect to up to $2,800,000 of obligations related to the venture, neither the Trust nor its subsidiaries have any guaranty, indemnity or similar obligations with respect to the Newark Joint Venture.

As a result of the NJV Sale, the mortgage debt in principal amount of $19,500,000 (the “NJV Debt”) owed to the Trust by this venture (which was not included on the Trust's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 as such debt and the interest that had accrued thereon was eliminated in consolidation), is reflected as a real estate loan on the balance sheet at June 30, 2016. The NJV Debt is secured by various contiguous parcels on Market Street (between University Avenue and Washington Street) in Newark, NJ. The site is approximately 68,000 square feet and has approximately 303,000 square feet of rentable space. The NJV Debt matures in June 2017 and bears an annual interest rate of 11%. Six percent (6%) is to be paid on a monthly basis ("Current Interest") and five percent (5%) is deferred (the"Deferred Interest").

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

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

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

Junior subordinated notes: At June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2015 the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $16,771,000 and $21,400,000 based on a market interest rate of 6.15% and 6.37%, respectively.

Mortgages payable: At June 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of the Trust’s mortgages payable is greater than their carrying value by approximately $9,983,000 assuming market interest rates between 2.15% and 4.61% and at September 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of the Trust's mortgages payable was greater than their carrying value by approximately $890,000 assuming market interest rates between 1.99% and 15.00%. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Trust believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements.

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

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The Trust’s fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs. The Trust does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Trust’s financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2016 (dollars in thousands):

	Carrying and Fair Value		Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy
			Level 1	Level 2
Financial Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	928	—	$	928

Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. At June 30, 2016, these derivatives are included in other accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Although the Trust has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with them utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative position and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Trust determined that its derivatives valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives, designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Trust's variable-rate debt.

As of June 30, 2016, the Trust had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

Interest Rate Derivative	Notional Amount		Rate		Maturity
Interest rate swap	$	1,586	5.25	%	April 1, 2022
Interest rate swap	$	26,400	3.61	%	May 6, 2023

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

Derivatives as of:
June 30, 2016			September 30, 2015
Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value		Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	928	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$	58

As of June 30, 2016, the Trust did not have any derivative instruments that were considered to be ineffective and does not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The following table presents the effect of the Trust’s interest rate swaps on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Amount of loss recognized on derivative in Other Comprehensive Income (loss)	$	(906	)	$	18		$	(935	)	$	(47	)
Amount of loss reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (loss) into Interest Expense	$	(50	)	$	(8	)	$	(65	)	$	(25	)

No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Trust’s cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015. During the twelve months ending September 30, 2016, the Trust estimates an additional $294,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to interest expense.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The agreement between the Trust and its derivatives counterparties provides that if the Trust defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Trust could be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of the derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest, but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreement, was $988,000. As of June 30, 2016, the Trust has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Trust had been in breach of these agreements at June 30, 2016, it could have been required to settle its obligations thereunder at its termination value of $988,000.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2016, and for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30,2016 and 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2015, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for complete financial statements.

Consolidated Financial Statements and Variable Interest Entities

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of BRT Realty Trust, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled real estate entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIE's") in which the Trust is determined to be the primary beneficiary. Material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Trust’s consolidated joint ventures that own multi‑family properties, were determined to be VIE’s because the voting rights of some equity investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. In addition, substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately fewer voting rights. It was determined that the Trust is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

The joint venture that owns the Dallas, TX property was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Trust has a controlling financial interest in the entity due to its substantive participating rights.

The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which requires all excess tax benefits or deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. In addition, excess tax benefits should be classified along with other income tax cash flows as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows. Application of the standard is required for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Trust is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 Interest - Imputation of Interest, which amends the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs. Under the amended guidance, a company will present unamortized debt issuance costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis, and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption being permitted. The Trust is evaluating the impact the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which amends the current consolidation guidance, including introducing a separate consolidation analysis specific to limited partnerships and other similar entities. Under this analysis, limited partnerships and other similar entities will be considered a VIE unless the limited partners hold substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Trust has not elected early adoption and is evaluating the new guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements.
