Item 2.01 - Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

On May 31, 2005, the operating partnership of the Registrant, Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P., through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR-Charlotte I, LLC, consummated the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Riverbirch Apartments (“Riverbirch”), a 210 unit multifamily apartment community located in Charlotte, North Carolina, from an unaffiliated third party. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to a bid placed at the May 16, 2005 foreclosure auction of the property. The bid of $8,200,000 was declared the winning bid on May 26, 2005, after a mandatory 10 day waiting period during which the seller is required to accept incrementally higher bids (5%) from other interested parties, as required by North Carolina law. A deposit on the purchase price was paid at the time the bid was accepted, and the balance of the acquisition cost was paid on May 31, 2005 at the closing on the property. Both payments were made from available cash.

 

Based upon the requirements of Rules 3-05 and 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, the Registrant has determined that financial statements for Riverbirch and pro forma financial information of the Registrant reflecting the purchase of Riverbirch are not required to be filed as this acquisition is not deemed “significant” by the Registrant.
