NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2013

NOTE 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Line of Business:  New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (“NERA” or the “Partnership”) was organized in Massachusetts in 1977.  NERA and its subsidiaries own 23 properties which include 15 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex.   These properties total 2,219 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 110,949 square feet of commercial space.  Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40-50% interest in 9 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 798 apartment units, 12,500 square feet of commercial space and a 50 car parking lot. The properties are located in Eastern Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire.

Basis of Presentation: The preparation of the financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United State of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NERA and its subsidiaries. NERA has a 99.67% to 100% ownership interest in each subsidiary except for the nine limited liability companies (the “Investment Properties” or “Joint Ventures”) in which the Partnership has  a 40 - 50% ownership interest. The consolidated group is referred to as the “Partnership.” Minority interests are not recorded, since they are insignificant. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the above-mentioned Investment Properties using the equity method of consolidation. (See Note 14: Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures).

The Partnership accounts for its investments in joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. The authoritative guidance on consolidation provides guidance on the identification of entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights (“variable interest entities” or “VIEs”) and the determination of which business enterprise, if any, should consolidate the VIE (the “primary beneficiary”).  Generally, the consideration of whether an entity is a VIE applies when either (1) the equity investors (if any) lack one or more of the essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest, (2) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support or (3) the equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

Impairment:  On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties or investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries may be impaired.  In addition to identifying any specific circumstances which may affect a property or properties, management considers other criteria for determining which properties may require assessment for potential impairment.  The criteria considered by management include reviewing low leased percentages, significant near term lease expirations, recently acquired properties, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, near term mortgage debt maturities or other factors that might impact the Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property.  To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.  The Partnership’s estimates of aggregate future cash flows expected to be generated by each property are based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and costs to operate each property.  As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by

7

Table of Contents

management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. The Partnership has not recognized an impairment loss since 1995.

Revenue Recognition:  Rental income from residential and commercial properties is recognized over the term of the related lease. For residential tenants, amounts 60 days in arrears are charged against income. The commercial tenants are evaluated on a case by case basis. Certain leases of the commercial properties provide for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Contingent rent for commercial properties are received from tenants for certain costs as provided in the lease agreement.  The costs generally include real estate taxes, utilities, insurance, common area maintenance and recoverable costs. Concessions made on residential leases are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.

Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are initially recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the differences between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed —rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The capitalized above-market lease values for acquired properties are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below-market fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.

Rental Properties:  Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions which improve or extend the life of the assets are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is included in income. Fully depreciated assets are removed from the accounts. Rental properties are depreciated by both straight-line and accelerated methods over their estimated useful lives. Upon acquisition of rental property, the Partnership estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities assumed, generally consisting of the fair value of (i) above and below market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships.  The Partnership allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values.  The Partnership records goodwill or a gain on bargain purchase (if any) if the net assets acquired/liabilities assumed exceed the purchase consideration of a transaction.  In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired, the Partnership considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities, and utilizes various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation, and available market information.  The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.

Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values and tenant relationship values, which are based on management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s overall relationship with the respective tenant.  Factors to be considered by management in its analysis of in-place lease values include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions, and costs to execute similar leases at market rates during the expected lease-up periods, depending on local market conditions.  In estimating costs to execute similar leases, management considers leasing commissions, legal and other related expenses.  Characteristics considered by management in valuing tenant relationships include the nature and extent of the Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality and expectations of lease renewals.  The value of in-place leases are amortized to expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases.  The value of tenant relationship intangibles are amortized to expense over the anticipated life of the relationships.

In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a rental property may be impaired, an analysis of the value is prepared. The estimated future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Financing and Leasing Fees: Financing fees are capitalized and amortized, using the interest method, over the life of the related mortgages. Leasing fees are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the related lease. Unamortized balances are expensed when the corresponding fee is no longer applicable.

Income Taxes: The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes have been recorded (See Note 13).

Table of Contents

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

Segment Reporting: Operating segments are revenue producing components of the Partnership for which separate financial information is produced internally for management. Under the definition, NERA operated, for all periods presented, as one segment.

Comprehensive Income: Comprehensive income is defined as changes in partners’ equity, exclusive of transactions with owners (such as capital contributions and dividends). NERA did not have any comprehensive income items in 2013 and 2012 other than net income as reported.

Income Per Depositary Receipt: Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth (1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership. All references to Depositary Receipts in the report are reflective of the 3-for-1 forward split.

Income Per Unit: Net income per unit has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of units outstanding during each period presented. The Partnership has no dilutive units and, therefore, basic net income is the same as diluted net income per unit (see Note 7).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s properties are located in New England, and the Partnership is subject to the general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more than 5% of the Partnership’s revenues in 2013 and 2012. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions.  At June 30, 2013, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.0% to 0.45%.  At June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively approximately $4,330,000 and $6,253,000 of cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits included in prepaid expenses and other assets exceeded federally insured amounts.

Advertising Expense: Advertising is expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $16,167 and $34,544 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Discontinued Operations and Rental Property Held for Sale:  When assets are identified by management as held for sale, the Partnership discontinues depreciating the assets and estimates the sales price, net of selling costs, of such assets. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the assets which have been identified as held for sale is less than the net book value of the assets, a valuation allowance is established. Properties identified as held for sale and/or sold are presented in discontinued operations for all periods presented.

If circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, the Partnership decides not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, the property is reclassified as held and used. A property that is reclassified is measured and recorded individually at the lower of (a) its carrying amount before the property was classified as held for sale, adjusted for any depreciation (amortization) expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used, or (b) the fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

Interest Capitalized: The Partnership follows the policy of capitalizing interest as a component of the cost of rental property when the time of construction exceeds one year. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 there was no capitalized interest.

Extinguishment of Debt: When existing mortgages are refinanced with the same lender and it is determined that the refinancing is substantially different then they are recorded as an extinguishment of debt.  However if it is determined that the refinancing is substantially the same then they are recorded as an exchange of debt.

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

Rental properties consist of the following:

On April 8, 2013, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sales agreement to sell the Nashoba Apartments in Acton, Massachusetts.  On May 29, 2013 this agreement was successfully completed for the sale price of $4,300,000.  The net proceeds of approximately $2,100,000 were transferred to Investment Property, Exchange Services, Inc. a Qualified Intermediary.  These funds were held by the intermediary in order to maintain the Partnership’s ability to structure a tax free exchange in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service’s rules under Sec. 1031.  The gain on the sale in accordance with GAAP is approximately $3,679,000.

On July 15, 2013, Hamilton Green Apartments, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of the Partnership, purchased Windsor Green at Andover, a 193 unit apartment complex located at 311 and 319 Lowell Street, Andover, Massachusetts.  The purchase price was $62,500,000.  See Note 16 — Subsequent Events.

NOTE 3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership’s properties are managed by an entity that is owned by the majority shareholder of the General Partner.

On January 1, 2004, all employees were transferred to the Management Company’s payroll. The Partnership reimburses the management company for the payroll and related expenses of the employees who work at the properties. Total reimbursement was approximately $1,388,000, and $1,247,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Management Company maintains a 401K plan for all eligible employees whereby the employees may contribute the maximum allowed by law. The plan also provides for discretionary contributions by the employer. There were no employer contributions in 2013 and 2012.

Prior to 1991, the Partnership employed an outside, unaffiliated company to perform its bookkeeping and accounting functions. Since that time, such services have been provided by the Management Company’s accounting staff, which consists of approximately 14 people.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 the Management Company charged the Partnership $62,500 ($125,000 per year) for bookkeeping and accounting services included in administrative expenses above.

In 1996, prior to becoming an employee of the Management Company, the President of the Management Company performed asset management consulting services for the Partnership. This individual continues to perform this service and receives an asset management fee from the Partnership.  The Partnership does not have a written agreement with this individual.  During each of the six months ended June30, 2013 and 2012 this individual received fees of $37,500.

The Partnership has invested in nine limited partnerships, which have invested in mixed use residential apartment complexes. The Partnership has a 40% to 50% ownership interest in each investment property. The other investors are Harold Brown, the President of the Management Company and five other employees of the Management Company. Harold Brown’s ownership interest is between 43.2% and 57%. See Note 14 for a description of the properties and their operations.

On October 28, 2009, the Partnership borrowed approximately $7,168,000 with an interest rate of 6% from HBC Holdings, LLC, an entity owned by Harold Brown and his affiliates (“HBC”).  The term of the loan is four years with a provision requiring payment in whole or in part upon demand by HBC with six months notice.  The Partnership may also prepay the note without penalty.  On August 17, 2010, HBC gave six months written notice to the Partnership requesting a principal pay down of $2,500,000.  During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Partnership paid HBC $2,500,000 as requested.  During 2011, the Partnership elected to make principal payments of $1,000,000 on August 1, 2011, $1,000,000 on October 1, 2011 and $1,000,000 on December 15, 2011 reducing the loan balance to $1,668,600.  In February 2012, the Partnership elected to make an additional principal payment of $750,000 to HBC Holdings and the balance of $918,600 was paid in full in April 2012. The interest paid during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $18,960.

NOTE 5. MORTGAGE NOTES PAYABLE

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the mortgages payable consisted of various loans, all of which were secured by first mortgages on properties referred to in Note 2. At June 30, 2013, the interest rates on these loans ranged from 3.25% to 7.07%, payable in monthly installments aggregating approximately $656,000, including principal, to various dates through 2026. The majority of the mortgages are subject to prepayment penalties.  At June 30, 2013, the weighted average interest rate on the above mortgages was 5.3%. The effective rate of 5.4% includes the amortization expense of deferred financing costs. See Note 12 for fair value information. The Partnership’s mortgage debt and the mortgage debt of its unconsolidated joint ventures generally is non-recourse except for customary exceptions pertaining to misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.

The Partnership has pledged tenant leases as additional collateral for certain of these loans.

Approximate annual maturities at June 30, 2013 are as follows:

On February 25, 2013, the Partnership paid off the mortgage of approximately $3,697,000 on Hamilton Cypress LLC. There was no penalty on the early payoff.  The funds used to pay off the mortgage were from the Partnerships cash reserves.

On March 11, 2013, the Partnership refinanced the property located at School Street.  The new loan is $15,000,000 with an interest rate of 3.7% due in 2023.  The loan calls for interest only for three years followed by principal and interest payments over the remainder of the loan term. The costs associated with this refinancing were approximately $159,000.

On June 30, 2013, the Partnership was in the process of refinancing the mortgages at Boylston Downtown, LLC and Westgate Apartments LLC.  The total amount expected to be refinanced is approximately $27,000,000.  The amount of the new loans will total approximately $55,000,000 resulting in additional debt of approximately $28,000,000.   As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership has paid approximately $67,000 of financing costs related to the expected refinancing.  This amount is included in financing and leasing fees in the consolidated balance sheet.  The Partnership may incur prepayment penalties of approximately $125,000 in connection with this refinancing.  The Partnership has no lender commitment at this time for Westgate Apartments, LLC and anticipates closing on this mortgage by the end of the third quarter of 2013.  The Partnership refinanced Boylston Downtown, LLC in July 2013.  See Note 16 — Subsequent Events for the details of this refinancing.

NOTE 6. ADVANCE RENTAL PAYMENTS AND SECURITY DEPOSITS

The Partnership’s residential lease agreements may require tenants to maintain a one-month advance rental payment and/or a security deposit. At June 30, 2013, amounts received for prepaid rents of approximately $1,449,000 are included in cash and cash equivalents, and security deposits of approximately $1,962,000 are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and are restricted cash.

All classes have equal profit sharing and distribution rights, in proportion to their ownership interests.

Effective January 3, 2012, the Partnership authorized a 3-for-1 forward split of its Depositary Receipts listed on the NYSE Amex and a concurrent adjustment of the exchange ratio of Depositary Receipts for Class A Units of the Partnership from 10-to-1 to 30-to-1, such that each Depositary Receipt represents one-thirtieth (1/30) of a Class A Unit of the Partnership.

Table of Contents

The Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $7.50 per unit and $0.25 per receipt to its Class A Limited Partners and holders of Depositary Receipts of record as of June 14, 2013 and payable on June 28, 2013.  In August 2013, the Partnership approved a quarterly distribution of $7.50 per unit ($0.25 per receipt) payable on September 30, 2013.

In 2012, the Partnership paid quarterly distributions of $7.50 per unit ($0.25 per receipt) in March, June, September, and December for a total distribution of $30.00 per unit ($1.00 per receipt).

The Partnership has entered into a deposit agreement with an agent to facilitate public trading of limited partners’ interests in Class A Units. Under the terms of this agreement, the holders of Class A Units have the right to exchange each Class A Unit for 30 Depositary Receipts. The following is information per Depositary Receipt:

NOTE 8. TREASURY UNITS

Treasury Units at June 30, 2013 are as follows:

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we do not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable,  accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments or, the recent acquisition of these items.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we estimated the fair value of our mortgages payable and other notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available.  We estimated the fair value of our secured mortgage debt that does not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3).  The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired.  The secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

·                  For cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other assets, investment in partnerships, accounts payable, advance rents and security deposits: fair value approximates the carrying value of such assets and liabilities.

·                  For mortgage notes payable: fair value is generally based on estimated future cash flows, which are discounted using the quoted market rate from an independent source for similar obligations. Refer to the table below for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of such instruments.

The following table reflects the carrying amounts and estimated fair value of our debt.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2013 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

NOTE 13. TAXABLE INCOME AND TAX BASIS

Taxable income reportable by the Partnership and includable in its partners’ tax returns is different than financial statement income because of tax free exchanges, accelerated depreciation, different tax lives, and timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets at significant acquisitions. Taxable income was approximately $530,000 greater than statement income for the year ended December 31, 2012. The primary reason for the increase is reduced tax depreciation due to tax free exchanges and accelerated depreciation in prior years.  The cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2012 is approximately $12,000,000, less than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the lower tax basis are tax free exchanges, and accelerated depreciation. The Partnership’s tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $1,700,000 less than statement basis because of accelerated depreciation.  In May 2013, the Partnership sold the Nashoba Apartments in Acton, Massachusetts for $4,300,000 and had a book gain of approximately $3,679,000.  The Partnership structured a tax free exchange in accordance with the Internal Revenue Service’s rule under Sec. 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  The gain will be deferred for 2013 for income tax purposes.

Certain entities included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are subject to certain state taxes.  These taxes are not significant and are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Allowable accelerated depreciation deductions have been reduced for 2013.  This may result in higher taxable income. Future tax law changes may significantly affect taxable income.

The Partnership adopted the amended provisions related to uncertain tax provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes.  As a result of the implementation of the guidance, the Partnership recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment.  The Partnership expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which would be included in general and administrative expense.

In the normal course of business the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions in which it operates, where applicable.  As of June 30, 2013, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations is from the year 2007 forward.

NOTE 14. INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
