NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 entitys 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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships intent and ability to hold property. A propertys value is impaired only if managements 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 Partnerships 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 managements assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by
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) managements 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 managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease and the Partnerships 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 Partnerships existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenants 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 assets 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).
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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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 managements 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.

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 Partnerships ability to structure a tax free exchange in accordance with the Internal Revenue Services 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 Partnerships properties are managed by an entity that is owned by the majority shareholder of the General Partner. The management fee is equal to 4% of gross receipts rental revenue and laundry income on the majority of the Partnerships properties and 3% on Linewt, LLC. Total fees paid including discontinued operations were approximately $752,000 and $718,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Partnership Agreement permits the General Partner or Management Company to charge the costs of professional services (such as counsel, accountants and contractors) to NERA.

Since that time, such services have been provided by the Management Companys 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 Browns 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.

On August 20, 2007, NewReal, Inc., the General Partner authorized an equity repurchase program (Repurchase Program) under which the Partnership was permitted to purchase, over a period of twelve months, up to 300,000 Depositary Receipts (each of which is one-tenth of a Class A Unit). On January 15, 2008, the General Partner authorized an increase in the Repurchase Program from 300,000 to 600,000 Depositary Receipts. On January 30, 2008 the General Partner authorized an increase the Repurchase Program from 600,000 to 900,000 Depositary Receipts. On March 6, 2008, the General Partner authorized the increase in the total number of Depositary Receipts that could be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program from 900,000 to1, 500,000. On August 8, 2008, the General Partner re-authorized and renewed the Repurchase Program for an additional 12-month period ended August 19, 2009. On March 22, 2010, the General Partner re-authorized and renewed the Repurchase Program that expired on August 19, 2009. Under the terms of the renewed Repurchase Program, the Partnership may purchase up to 1,500,000 Depositary Receipts from the start of the program in 2007 through March 31, 2015. The Repurchase Program requires the Partnership to repurchase a proportionate number of Class B Units and General Partner Units in connection with any repurchases of any Depositary Receipts by the Partnership based upon the 80%, 19% and 1% fixed distribution percentages of the holders of the Class A, Class B and General Partner Units under the Partnerships Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership. Repurchases of Depositary Receipts or Partnership Units pursuant to the Repurchase Program may be made by the Partnership from time to time in its sole discretion in open market transactions or in privately negotiated transactions. From August 20, 2007 through June 30, 2013, the Partnership has repurchased 1,229,636 Depositary Receipts at an average price of $24.68 per receipt (or $740.40 per underlying Class A Unit), 1,998 Class B Units and 105 General Partnership Units, both at an average price of $627.53 per Unit, totaling approximately $31,786,000 including brokerage fees paid by the Partnership.
On September 17, 2008, the Partnership completed the issuance of an aggregate of 6,642 Class A Units held in treasury to current holders of Class B and General Partner Units upon the simultaneous retirement to treasury of 6,309 Class B Units and 333 General Partner Units pursuant to an equity distribution plan authorized by the Board of Directors of the General Partner on August 8, 2008 and as further described under Item 3.02 of the Partnerships Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2008, which is incorporated herein by reference. Harold Brown, the treasurer of the General Partner, owns 75% of the issued and outstanding Class B Units of the Partnership and 75% of the issued and outstanding equity of the General Partner, Ronald Brown, the brother of Harold Brown and the president of

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 Partnerships 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 Partnerships 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 Services 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 Partnerships 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
Since November 2001, the Partnership has invested in nine limited partnerships and limited liability companies, the majority of which have invested in residential apartment complexes, with three partnerships investing in commercial property. The Partnership has between a 40%-50% ownership interests in each investment. The other investors are Harold Brown, the President of the Management Company and five other employees of the Management Company. Harold Browns ownership interest is between 43.2% and 57%, with the balance owned by the others. A description of each investment is as follows:
On October 28, 2009 the Partnership invested approximately $15,925,000 in a joint venture to acquire a 40% interest in a residential property located in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property, referred to as Dexter Park, is a 409 unit residential complex. The purchase price was $129,500,000. The total mortgage was $89,914,000 with an interest rate of 5.57% and it matures in 2019. The mortgage calls for interest only payments for the first two years of the loan and amortized over 30 years thereafter. In order to fund this investment, the Partnership used approximately $8,757,000 of its cash reserves and 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 was four years with a provision requiring payment in whole or in part upon demand by HBC with six months notice. 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,

The interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $18,807. There was no interest paid on this loan in 2013. A majority of the apartments were leased at the time of the acquisition. As a result, the Partnership amortized the intangible assets associated with the in place leases over a 12 month period which began in November 2009.

NOTE 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 7, 2013, Boylston Downtown LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, refinanced the property located at 62 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. The new $40,000,000 mortgage has an interest rate of 3.97%. The terms of the loan are interest only for the first three years, with a 30 year amortization thereafter until maturity in August 2028. Approximately $19,500,000 of loan proceeds was used to pay off the existing mortgage. The balance of the funds, approximately $20,000,000, after closing costs, is included in the Partnerships cash reserves.
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. To fund this purchase, the Partnership obtained short term financing of approximately $40,000,000, used the funds of approximately $2,100,000 from the like kind exchange of the Nashoba Apartments, and the
balance from the Partnerships cash reserves. The mortgage has a maturity date of October 15, 2013; and is interest only with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 225 points (currently 2.45%). The Partnership is currently working on long term financing.
On August 1, 2013, Hamilton Bay Unit Sales paid down $350,000 of its outstanding mortgage. This entity intends to pay off the remaining balance of $1,318,000 by the end of September 2013. The Partnership will need to contribute approximately $800,000 to complete this transaction.
Through August 9, 2013, the Partnership purchased a total of 12,000 Depositary Receipts. The price was $41.50 per receipt or $1,245.00 Class A unit. The total cost was $498,000. The Partnership is required to repurchase approximately 95 Class B Units and 5 General Partner units at a cost of $118,275 and $6,225, respectively. There were no repurchases during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward Looking Statements
Certain information contained herein includes forward looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Liquidation Reform Act of 1995 (the Act). Forward looking statements in this report, or which management may make orally or in written form from time to time, reflect managements good faith belief when those statements are made, and are based on information currently available to management. Caution should be exercised in interpreting and relying on such forward looking statements, the realization of which may be impacted by known and unknown risks and uncertainties, events that may occur subsequent to the forward looking statements, and other factors which may be beyond the Partnerships control and which can materially affect the Partnerships actual results, performance or achievements for 2013 and beyond. Should one or more of the risks or uncertainties mentioned below materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Since the Partnerships long-term goals include the acquisition of additional properties, a portion of the proceeds from the refinancing and sale of properties is reserved for this purpose. If available acquisitions do not meet the Partnerships criteria, the Partnership may purchase additional depositary receipts. The Partnership will consider refinancing existing properties if the Partnerships cash reserves are insufficient to repay existing mortgages or if the Partnership needs additional funds for future acquisitions.
The financial results for the second quarter continue to reflect strong renewal rates and upward pressure on residential rents for the available units. Revenues from residential properties are 4.4% higher compared to the same quarter in 2012. The primary residential leasing season, May through August, continues to remain robust with little to no concessions given and the majority of the commission burden being born by the resident. The revenue gains achieved last fall continue to show results and are occurring again during this new leasing season. Management anticipates that the third quarter revenue will be similar to the second quarter and that additional revenue gains will appear in the fourth quarter due to the number of leases expected to renew at higher rates during the months of June, July and August. We believe the supply and demand imbalance in the residential rental market continues to favor landlords, further strengthened by increasing enrollment in local universities and strong local employment. We believe the recent spike in interest rates will likely keep consumer sentiment shifted toward rental housing for at least another 12 months. Until the trend toward renting changes, management anticipates that upward pressure on rental rates will continue resulting in another year of positive revenue growth and sustained high occupancy. The increase of approximately $1,070,000 (13%) in operating expenses including discontinued operations and excluding depreciation and amortization, for the first six months of 2013 is primarily the result of extraordinary snow removal costs which increased by approximately $253,000, an increase in real estate taxes of approximately $225,000 and the expensing of financing fees of approximately $286,000 associated with discontinued refinancing activities. All other facets of manageable operating costs continue to be in check and Management anticipates that Operating Income (before depreciation and interest) for the remainder of 2013 will be strong.
The Nashoba Apartments were sold during the quarter. The sale price was $4,300,000. The Partnership netted approximately $2,100,000 in cash after retiring the debt. These funds were transferred to a Qualified Intermediary in order to maintain the Partnerships ability to structure a tax free exchange. During the quarter, the Partnership entered into a purchase and sale agreement to purchase a 193 unit apartment complex in Andover, MA known as Windsor Green. The purchase was consummated on July 15th. The purchase price was $62,500,000 and was funded with the cash reserves, cash from the sale of Nashoba, $20,000,000 from the proceeds from the refinancing of 62 Boylston Street and a $40,000,000 acquisition loan.
Permanent long term financing is expected to be in place by end of the third quarter. It is expected that the new acquisition will provide the Partnership with an increased cash flow and additional tax benefits.
In July 2013, Boylston Downtown, LP refinanced the property located at 62 Boylston Street, Boston, Massachusetts. The new $40,000,000 mortgage has an interest rate of 3.97% with interest only for the first 3 years and a 30 year amortization. Approximately $19,500,000 of the loan proceeds were used to pay off the existing mortgage and the balance was included in the Partnerships cash reserves. The Partnership is in the process of refinancing the property owned by Westgate Apartments LLC. The Partnership is seeking a $15,000,000 mortgage to pay off the current mortgage of approximately $8,000,000 and will raise an additional $7,000,000 in cash. There is no lender commitment at this time. The Partnership anticipates closing on this mortgage in the fourth quarter of 2013. Combined, the new debt service, when amortization starts in three years will be approximately $3,000,000 per year compared to $2,000,000. See Note 16 Subsequent Events
In February 2013, the Partnership paid off the loan on Cypress Street of approximately $3,679,000 with existing cash on hand and plans to do the same with one of its joint ventures, Hamilton Bay for approximately $1,600,000. In August 2013, Management repurchased 12,000 depository receipts for a total cost of $498,000. This purchase of receipts is in line with the Partnerships trading plan. Management continues to weigh investment alternatives including acquiring additional properties against cash liquidity and the current depositary receipt price.
It is anticipated that the interest rates on new debt will be less than the current interest rate. Management will be considering additional debt in balance with its future acquisition goals and historically low interest rate environment. When appropriate, Management will continue to repurchase shares per its trading plan. Management continues to weigh investment alternatives including acquiring additional properties against cash liquidity and the current depositary receipt price.
The Stock Repurchase Program that was initiated in 2007 has purchased 1,229,636 Depositary Receipts through June 30, 2013 or 30% of the outstanding Class A Depositary Receipts. From July 1, 2013 through August 9, 2013 purchased 12,000 Class A Depositary Receipts for a total cost of $498,000. There were no repurchases during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2013. The Partnership has retained The Hamilton Company (Hamilton) to manage and administer the Partnerships and Joint Ventures Properties. Hamilton is a full-service real estate management company, which has legal, construction, maintenance, architectural, accounting and administrative departments. The Partnerships properties represent approximately 36% of the total properties and 42% of the residential properties managed by Hamilton. Substantially all of the other properties managed by Hamilton are owned, wholly or partially, directly or indirectly, by Harold Brown. The Partnerships Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership (the Partnership Agreement) expressly provides that the general partner may employ a management company to manage the properties, and that such management company may be paid a fee of up to 4% of rental receipts for administrative and management services (the Management Fee). The Partnership pays Hamilton the full annual Management Fee, in monthly installments.
At August 1, 2013, Harold Brown, his brother Ronald Brown and the President of Hamilton, Carl Valeri, collectively own approximately 40% of the Depositary Receipts representing the Partnership Class A Units (including Depositary Receipts held by trusts for the benefit of such persons family members). Harold Brown also controls 75% of the Partnerships Class B Units, 75% of the capital stock of NewReal, Inc. (NewReal), the Partnerships sole general partner, and all of the outstanding stock of Hamilton. The Class B units of the Partnership, controlled by Harold Brown, are owned by HBC Holdings LLC, an entity of which he is the manager. Ronald Brown also owns 25% of the Partnerships Class B Units and 25% of NewReals capital stock. In addition, Ronald Brown is the President and director of NewReal and Harold Brown is NewReals Treasurer and a director.
In addition to the Management Fee, the Partnership Agreement further provides for the employment of outside professionals to provide services to the Partnership and allows NewReal to charge the Partnership for the cost of employing professionals to assist with the administration of the Partnerships properties. Additionally, from time to time, the Partnership pays Hamilton for repairs and maintenance services, legal services, construction services and accounting services. The costs charged by Hamilton for these services are at the same hourly rate charged to all entities managed by Hamilton, and management believes such rates are competitive in the marketplace.
Residential tenants typically sign a one year lease. In 2013, tenant renewals were approximately 70% with an average rental increase of approximately 4.5%, new leases accounted for approximately 30% with rental rate increases of approximately 6.4%. In 2013, leasing commissions decreased approximately $31,000 (58%) from 2012, while tenant concessions increased approximately $7,000 (58%) from 2012. Tenant improvements were approximately $826,000 in 2013, compared to approximately $483,000 in 2012, an increase of approximately $343,000. In addition, building improvements and others were approximately $1,349,000.
Hamilton accounted for approximately 6.0 % of the repair and maintenance expense paid for by the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Of the funds paid to Hamilton for this purpose, the great majority was to cover the cost of services provided by the Hamilton maintenance department, including plumbing, electrical, carpentry services, and snow removal for those properties close to Hamiltons headquarters. Several of the larger Partnership properties have their own maintenance staff. Those properties that do not have their own maintenance staff and are located more than a reasonable distance from Hamiltons headquarters in Allston, Massachusetts are generally serviced by local, independent companies.
Hamiltons legal department handles most of the Partnerships eviction and collection matters. Additionally, it prepares most long-term commercial lease agreements and represents the Partnership in selected purchase and sale transactions. Overall, Hamilton provided approximately $106,000 (74.6%) and $97,000 (83.0%) of the legal services paid for by the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Additionally, as described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, The Hamilton Company receives similar fees from the Investment Properties.
The Partnership requires that three bids be obtained for construction contracts in excess of $15,000. Hamilton may be one of the three bidders on a particular project and may be awarded the contract if its bid and its ability to successfully complete the project are deemed appropriate. For contracts that are not awarded to Hamilton, Hamilton charges the Partnership a construction supervision fee equal to 5% of the contract amount. Hamiltons architectural department also provides services to the Partnership on an as-needed basis. Hamilton provided the Partnership approximately $34,000 and $8,000 in construction and architectural services for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
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 Hamiltons accounting staff, which consists of approximately 14 people. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, Hamilton charged the Partnership $62,500 ($125,000 per year) for bookkeeping and accounting services.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Partnership to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Partnership regularly and continually evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties and its investments in and advances to joint ventures. The Partnership bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. The Partnerships critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about such matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnerships financial results. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances. See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Principles of Consolidation.
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. Concessions made on residential leases are also accounted for on the straight-line basis.
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 managements 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.
Rental Properties: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred; improvements and additions 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.
Intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values, above and below market leases and tenant relationship values, which are based on managements evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenants lease and the Partnerships 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 Partnerships existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenants 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 assets carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.
Impairment : On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnerships rental properties may be impaired. A propertys value is impaired only if managements 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 Partnerships 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 managements assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. The Partnership has not recognized an impairment loss in the six months of 2013.
Investments in Partnerships: The Partnership accounts for its 40%-50% ownership in the Investment Properties under the equity method of accounting, as it exercises significant influence over, but does not control these entities. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as Investments in Partnerships, and subsequently adjusted for the Partnerships share in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity is reflected on the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the Partnership is included on the consolidated statements of income.
With respect to investments in and advances to the Investment Properties, the Partnership looks to the underlying properties to assess performance and the recoverability of carrying amounts for those investments in a manner similar to direct investments in real estate properties. An impairment charge is recorded if managements 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.
Legal Proceedings: The Partnership is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise, from time to time, in the ordinary course of business. These matters are frequently covered by insurance. If it is determined that a loss is likely to occur, the estimated amount of the loss is recorded in the financial statements. Both the amount of the loss and the point at which its occurrence is considered likely can be difficult to determine.

Rental income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $8,905,000, compared to approximately $8,595,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 an increase of approximately $310,000 (3.6%). Rental rate increases has lead to this increase in rental income in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The Partnership properties with the most significant increases in rental income include 62 Boylston Street, 1144 Commonwealth Avenue, School Street, Westgate Woburn, Redwood Hills and Linewt with increases of approximately $71,000, $52,000, $47,000, $35,000, $29,000 and $25,000, respectively. These increases are offset by a decrease in commercial rental income at Hamilton Cypress of approximately $45,000. This decrease is due to increased vacancies at the property. Included in rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is contingent rentals of approximately $170,000 and $153,000, respectively. Contingent rentals are collected on commercial properties and include such charges as bill backs of common area maintenance charges, real estate taxes, and utility charges.
Expenses from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $6,114,000 compared to approximately $5,355,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $759,000 (14.2%). The most significant factors contributing to this increase were an increase in administrative expenses of approximately $291,000 (71.5%) due to an increase in professional fees in connection with the refinancing of partnership properties ; an increase in repairs and maintenance expenses of approximately $241,000 (18.9%) due to ongoing repairs to Partnership properties in an effort to maintain occupancy; an increase in taxes and insurance of approximately $182,000 (17.8%) due to an increase in real estate taxes as well as insurance premiums; and an increase in operating expenses of approximately $112,000 (16.0%) due to a cold and snowy winter in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The management fee increased approximately $13,000 (3.6%) due to the increase in rental income.
These increases are offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $54,000 (3.5%) due to assets being fully depreciated; and a decrease in renting expenses of approximately $26,000 (49.4%) due to decreases in advertising costs and rental commissions due to continued demand for apartments.
Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $1,763,000 compared to approximately $1,912,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $149,000 (7.8%). This decrease is due to a lower level of debt in 2013 compared to 2012.
At June 30, 2013, the Partnership has between a 40% and 50% ownership interests in nine different Investment Properties. See a description of these properties included in the section titled Investment Properties as well as Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of the financial information of each Investment Property.
As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnerships share of the net loss from the Investment Properties was approximately $336,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to approximately $401,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease in the loss of approximately $65,000 (16.2%). This decrease in loss is consistent with the continued strength in the rental real estate market including approximately 4.1% increase in revenue. Included in the loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $926,000. The allocable loss for the three months ended June 30, 2013 associated with the investment in Dexter Park is approximately $200,000 of which approximately $576,000 is depreciation and amortization.
In May 2013, the Partnership sold the Nashoba Apartments in Acton, Massachusetts. The sale price was $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 Partnerships ability to structure a tax free exchange in accordance with the Internal Revenue Services rules under Sec. 1031. The gain on the sale is approximately $3,679,000 and is included in income from discontinued operations.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $350 compared to approximately $550 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $200.
As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $4,469,000 compared to approximately $1,047,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $3,422,000 (326.7%).
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to six months ended June 30, 2012

Rental income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $17,829,000 compared to approximately $17,236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $593,000 (3.4%). Rental income has increase at the majority of the Partnership properties due to increased demand and increases in rental rates. The following properties experienced rental income increases: 62 Boylston Street, 1144 Commonwealth Avenue, School Street, Westgate Woburn, Redwood Hills, Battle Green, Hamilton Oaks and North Beacon Street with increases of approximately $165,000, $104,000, $93,000, $77,000, $46,000, $38,000, $36,000 and $29,000 respectively. These increases are offset by a decrease in rental income of approximately $110,000 at Cypress Street due to vacancies at the property in 2013.
Expenses from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were approximately $12,094,000 compared to approximately $11,146,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of approximately $948,000 (8.5%). The most significant factor contributing to this increase is an increase in operating expenses of approximately $318,000 (16.5%); an increase in repairs and maintenance expenses of approximately $270,000 (11.6%), an increase in administrative expenses of approximately $258,000 (28.9%) and an increase in taxes and insurance of approximately $213,000 (9.9%). The reasons for these changes are discussed in the section for the results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
These increases in expenses are offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of approximately $103,000 (3.4%), and a decrease in renting expenses of approximately $43,000 (43.0%). The reasons for these decreases are discussed in the section for the results for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
Interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $3,604,000 compared to approximately $3,946,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $ $242,000 (6.3%).
At June 30, 2013, the Partnership has between a 40 - 50% ownership interest in nine Investment Properties. See a description of these properties included in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of the financial information of each Investment Property.
As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnerships share of loss from these Investment Properties was approximately $653,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a loss of approximately $804,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $151,000. Included in the loss for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is depreciation and amortization of approximately $1,848,000.
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $700 compared to approximately $1,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a decrease of approximately $500 (40%).
As discussed previously, the Partnership sold the Nashoba Apartments in May 2013. The gain of approximately $3,679,000 is included in income from discontinued operations.
As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was approximately $5,371,000 compared to net income of $1,674,000 an increase of approximately $3,697,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnerships principal source of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was the collection of rents. Most of the cash and cash equivalents of $3,291,685 at June 30, 2013 and $6,981,906 at December 31, 2012 were held in interest bearing accounts at creditworthy financial institutions.
This decrease in cash of $3,690,221 at June 30, 2013 is summarized as follows:

The cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the collection of rents less cash operating expenses. The increase in cash used in investing is due to the deposit of $2,000,000 paid in connection with a new acquisition which closed in July 2013 and the net proceeds of approximately $2,100,000 from the sale of Nashoba which was held by an intermediary at June 30, 2013 for the acquisition of new real estate. The increase in cash used in financing activities is due to the payoff of the mortgage of approximately $3,686,000 on Cypress Street. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership purchased 9,709 Depositary Receipts for a cost of $321,240; 77 Class B Units for a cost of $74,335 and 4 General Partnership Units for a cost of $3,912, for a total cost of $399,487.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships completed improvements to certain of the properties at a total cost of approximately $2,189,000. These improvements were funded from cash reserves and, to some extent, escrow accounts established in connection with the financing or refinancing of the applicable properties. These sources have been adequate to fully fund improvements. The most significant improvements were made at Westgate Woburn, 62 Boylston Street, Hamilton Oaks, 1144 Commonwealth Ave, Hamilton Cypress, and Dean Street at a cost of approximately $854,000, $163,000, $162,000, $141,000, $136,000, and $131,000 respectively. The Partnership plans to invest approximately $600,000 in additional capital improvements for the remainder of 2013.
On October 28, 2009 the Partnership invested approximately $15,925,000 in a joint venture to acquire a 40% interest in a residential property located in Brookline, Massachusetts. The property, referred to as Dexter Park, is a 409 unit residential complex. The purchase price was $129,500,000. The total mortgage was $89,914,000 with an interest rate of 5.57% and it matures in 2019. The mortgage calls for interest only payments for the first two years of the loan and amortized over 30 years thereafter. The balance of this mortgage is approximately $87,999,000 at June 30, 2013. In order to fund this investment, the Partnership used approximately $8,757,000 of its cash reserves and 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 was four years with a provision requiring payment in whole or in part upon demand by HBC with six months notice. 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 an additional $1,000,000 on December 15, 2011 reducing the loan balance to $1,668,600 at December 31, 2011. 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 April 2012. The interest paid during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $18,960. This investment, Hamilton Park Towers, LLC is referred to as Dexter Park.
During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership received distributions from the investment properties in the amount of $2,205,880 and $677,500 respectively. Included in these distributions is the amount from Dexter Park of $600,000 and $490,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Partnership received distributions of approximately $1,463,000 from 345 Franklin, LLC for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
In 2013, the Partnership approved distributions of $7.50 per Unit ($0.25 per Receipt) payable on March 31, 2013, June 28, 2013 and September 30, 2013.
The Partnership anticipates that cash from operations and interest bearing accounts will be sufficient to fund its current operations; pay distributions, make required debt payments and to finance current improvements to its properties. The Partnership may also sell or refinance properties. The Partnerships net income and cash flow may fluctuate dramatically from year to year as a result of the sale or refinancing of properties, increases or decreases in rental income or expenses, or the loss of significant tenants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements-Joint Venture Indebtedness
As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership had a 40%-50% ownership interest in nine Joint Ventures, all of which have mortgage indebtedness. We do not have control of these Partnerships and therefore we account for them using the equity method of consolidation. At June 30, 2013, the Partnerships proportionate share of the non-recourse debt related to these investments was approximately $61,429,000. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations
See Notes 5 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of mortgage notes payable. The Partnerships has no other material contractual obligations to be disclosed.
Factors That May Affect Future Results
Along with risks detailed in Item 1A and from time to time in the Partnerships filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, some factors that could cause the Partnerships actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward looking statements include but are not limited to the following:
· The Partnership depends on the real estate markets where its properties are located, primarily in Eastern Massachusetts, and these markets may be adversely affected by local economic market conditions, which are beyond the Partnerships control.
· The Partnership is subject to the general economic risks affecting the real estate industry, such as dependence on tenants financial condition, the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on terms favorable to tenants in order to generate rental revenues and our ability to collect rents from our tenants.
· The Partnership is also impacted by changing economic conditions making alternative housing arrangements more or less attractive to the Partnerships tenants, such as the interest rates on single family home mortgages and the availability and purchase price of single family homes in the Greater Boston metropolitan area.
· The Partnership is subject to significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as debt service payments, real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, which are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in revenues from a property.
· The Partnership is subject to increases in heating and utility costs that may arise as a result of economic and market conditions and fluctuations in seasonal weather conditions.
· Civil disturbances, earthquakes and other natural disasters may result in uninsured or underinsured losses.
· Actual or threatened terrorist attacks may adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and the value of our properties.
· Financing or refinancing of Partnership properties may not be available to the extent necessary or desirable, or may not be available on favorable terms.
· The Partnership properties face competition from similar properties in the same market. This competition may affect the Partnerships ability to attract and retain tenants and may reduce the rents that can be charged.
· Given the nature of the real estate business, the Partnership is subject to potential environmental liabilities. These include environmental contamination in the soil at the Partnerships or neighboring real estate, whether caused by the Partnership, previous owners of the subject property or neighbors of the subject property, and the presence of hazardous materials in the Partnerships buildings, such as asbestos, lead, mold and radon gas. Management is not aware of any material environmental liabilities at this time.
· Insurance coverage for and relating to commercial properties is increasingly costly and difficult to obtain. In addition, insurance carriers have excluded certain specific items from standard insurance policies, which have resulted in increased risk exposure for the Partnership. These include insurance coverage for acts of terrorism and war, and coverage for mold and other environmental conditions. Coverage for these items is either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.
· Market interest rates could adversely affect market prices for Class A Partnership Units and Depositary Receipts as well as performance and cash flow.
· Changes in income tax laws and regulations may affect the income taxable to owners of the Partnership. These changes may affect the after-tax value of future distributions.
· The Partnership may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties; may develop or acquire properties that do not produce a desired or expected yield on invested capital; may be unable to sell poorly- performing or otherwise undesirable properties quickly; or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties.
· Risk associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments.
· Competition for acquisitions may result in increased prices for properties.
· Any weakness identified in the Partnerships internal controls as part of the evaluation being undertaken could have an adverse effect on the Partnerships business.
· Ongoing compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 may require additional personnel or systems changes.
The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive or as an admission regarding the adequacy of disclosures made by the Partnership prior to the date hereof or the effectiveness of said Act. The Partnership expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the exposure to loss resulting from changes in interest rates and equity prices. In pursuing its business plan, the primary market risk to which the Partnership is exposed is interest rate risk. Changes in the general level of interest rates prevailing in the financial markets may affect the spread between the Partnerships yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.
As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have approximately $272,130,000 in long-term debt, substantially all of which require payment of interest at fixed rates. Accordingly, the fair value of these debt instruments is affected by changes in market interest rates. This long term debt matures through 2028. For information regarding the fair value and maturity dates of these debt obligations, See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Mortgage Notes Payable, Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Fair Value Measurements and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.
For additional disclosure about market risk, see Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsFactors That May Affect Future Results.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We have evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures to determine whether they are effective in ensuring that the disclosure of required information is timely made in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) and the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This evaluation was made under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of our General Partner as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The CEO and CFO have concluded, based on their reviews, that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e), are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2013 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
The Partnership, the Subsidiary Partnerships and their properties are not presently subject to any material litigation, and, to managements knowledge, there is not any material litigation presently threatened against them. The Partnership and Subsidiary Partnerships are occasionally subject to ordinary routine legal and administrative proceedings incident to the ownership of residential and commercial real estate. Some of the legal and other expenses related to these proceedings are covered by insurance and none of these costs and expenses are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Partnership.
There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on Form 10K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY
12.1 Condemnation .
12.1.1 Right to Terminate . If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any significant portion (as hereinafter defined) of the Project is taken by eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking in which Seller has been served with legal process, but which has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, and, thereafter, either Buyer or Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by giving written notice to the other no later than ten (10) days after the giving of Sellers notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer or Seller to make such election. The failure by Buyer and Seller to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. For purposes hereof, a significant portion of the Project shall mean any interest in the Project except a de minimis interest the taking of which has no material effect on the use or operation of such Project.
12.1.2 Assignment of Proceeds . If (a) neither Seller nor Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid if all or any significant portion of the Property is taken, or (b) a portion of the Property not constituting a significant portion of the Property is taken or becomes subject to a pending taking by eminent domain, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price; provided , however , that, at the Closing, Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of any award for or other proceeds on account of such taking which have been actually paid to Seller prior to the Closing Date as a result of such taking (less all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and costs, incurred by Seller as of the Closing Date in obtaining payment of such award or proceeds) and, to the extent such award or proceeds have not been paid, Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, all awards for the taking of the Property or such portion thereof.
12.2 Destruction or Damage . In the event any portion of the Project is damaged or destroyed by casualty prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If any such damage or destruction (a) is an insured casualty and (b) would cost less than five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price to repair or restore (a Non-Material Casualty ), then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall acquire the Property upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. In such event, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible amount applicable under Sellers casualty policy less all costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and costs, incurred by Seller as of the Closing Date in connection with the negotiation and/or settlement of the casualty claim with the insurer (the Realization Costs ), and Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction. In the event the Project is damaged or destroyed prior to the Closing Date by a casualty that is not a Non-Material Casualty, then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this section, Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety. Buyer shall have thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Buyer that a casualty has occurred to make such election by delivery to Seller of a written election notice (the Election Notice ), and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election. The failure by Buyer to deliver the Election Notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. In the event Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement as set forth above, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Seller shall assign to Buyer all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to any and all proceeds of insurance on account of such damage or destruction, if any, and, if the casualty was an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the deductible or self-insured amount (less the Realization Costs) under Sellers casualty insurance policy.
12.3 Insurance . Seller shall maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property through the Closing Date.
12.4 Effect of Termination . If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 12.1 or Section 12.2 , the Deposit, subject to, and except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1 above, shall be returned to Buyer. Upon such refund, this Agreement shall terminate in
its entirety and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
12.5 Waiver . The provisions of this ARTICLE 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this ARTICLE 12.
ARTICLE 13
ESCROW
The Deposit and any other sums which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the Escrow Deposits ), together with all interest earned thereon, shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in government insured interest-bearing instruments satisfactory to both Buyer and Seller, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made.
(b) If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date.
(c) If for any reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits and all interest earned thereon to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this ARTICLE 13(c). If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits and the interest earned thereon, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand.

1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); and

I. SCOPE OF SERVICES On the terms and subject to the conditions described in this letter, Owner hereby engages Jones Lang LaSalle as its exclusive and sole agent to arrange a sale or other disposition (the Transaction) of Owner's interest hi the Property. Jones Lang LaSalle acknowledges that Owner's objective is to obtain the best terms suitable for Owner in connection with the Transaction; and in order to achieve that objective, Jones Lang LaSalle shall perform the following services and responsibilities: 1. Determination of Marketing Strategy Jones Lang LaSalle will evaluate and recommend to Owner the appropriate structure, including pricing, and marketing strategy for the Transaction. The primary considerations in determining this structure and strategy will be meeting Owner's objective of completing the Transaction on the most favorable terms obtainable in a timely manner based on a review of the Property and an analysis of comparable transactions. The initial listing price of the Property shall be unpriced. At any time during the term of this Agreement, Owner reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) set or adjust the asking price for the Property; (ii) modify the marketing plan implemented by Jones Lang LaSalle; or (iii) withdraw the Property from the market. 2. Preparation of Marketing Presentation Jones Lang LaSalle will prepare a comprehensive marketing presentation ("Offering Memorandum") which shall be subject to the approval of Owner. This Offering Memorandum will provide detailed information necessary for the analysis and evaluation of the Transaction. In addition to descriptive material, the Offering Memorandum will contain financial projections as well as an explanation of the terms and conditions under which a Transaction will be pursued. Jones Lang LaSalle shall conduct Property tours and market tours with all prospective purchasers expressing a desire to do so. Travis D Amato or Mike Coyne shall be present on all Property tours with prospective purchasers and Jones Lang LaSalle shall use its best efforts to provide at least twenty-four (24) hours' notice to Owner prior to such tours. p-2 |

Follow-up discussions and on-site property tours will be conducted by Jones Lang LaSalle as needed. 4. Preparation of Due Diligence Information Jones Lang LaSalle will coordinate the preparation of appropriate back-up material, which will be provided to qualified parties in addition to the Offering Memorandum in their detailed investigation of the Property. This information may include, but not be limited to, such items as lease copies, document summaries, tenant-by-tenant computer projections, physical property descriptions and site plans to the extent deemed reasonably appropriate by Jones Lang LaSalle. 5. Contract Negotiations The status of the marketing efforts, discussions, and terms and conditions of any and all offers will be systematically communicated to and discussed with Owner. Owner shall refer all inquiries regarding the Transaction to Jones Lang LaSalle, and Jones Lang LaSalle will assist Owner in conducting all negotiations; provided, however, in no event shall Jones Lang LaSalle have the authority to make any commitments or representations, enter into any agreements or sign any documents on behalf of Owner. All final terms and conditions of the Transaction will be subject to approval by Owner in its sole discretion, and Owner shall have the sole and absolute discretion to accept or reject any offer or to withdraw the Property from the market. 6. Transaction Closing During the term of this Agreement, Jones Lang LaSalle shall meet at least twice a month with Owner (either by phone or in person) to review the status of the market program efforts.

Borrower shall deposit in the Impound Account an amount reasonably determined by Lender to be sufficient (when added to the monthly deposits described herein) to pay the next due installment of real estate taxes and assessments on the Project at least one (1) month prior to the due date or the delinquency date thereof (as Lender shall determine) and the next due annual insurance premiums with respect to the Project at least one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. On January 10, 2011 and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with the payment due under the Note, deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual taxes that will next become due and payable on the Project (the Monthly Tax Impound), plus one-twelfth (1/12) of the amount of the annual insurance premiums that will next become due and payable on insurance policies which Borrower is required to maintain hereunder (the Monthly Insurance Impound), each as estimated and determined by Lender. The Monthly Tax Impound and Monthly Insurance Impound, and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. If Lender at any time determines that the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound is insufficient, Lender may in its reasonable discretion adjust the required monthly payments of such amounts, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay the increased amounts for the Monthly Tax Impound or Monthly Insurance Impound commencing with the next Payment Date under the Note. So long as no Event of Default or Default has occurred and is continuing, all sums in the Impound Account shall be held by Lender in the Impound Account and used to pay taxes and insurance premiums on the Project before the same become delinquent. Borrower shall be responsible for ensuring the receipt by Lender, at least thirty (30) days prior to the respective due date or the delinquency date for payment thereof (as Lender shall determine), of all bills, invoices and statements for all taxes and insurance premiums on the Project to be paid from the Impound Account, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall pay the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto directly to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Impound Account. In making any payment from the Impound Account, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office or
insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Lender shall pay no interest on funds contained in the Impound Account to Borrower and any interest or other earnings on funds deposited in the Impound Account shall be solely for the account of Lender. If the total funds in the Impound Account shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the Impound Account, such excess maybe credited by Lender on subsequent payments to the Impound Account to be made hereunder or, at the option of Lender, refunded to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Project. If, however, the Impound Account shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due and payable, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. The Impound Account shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. In the event Borrower does not comply with the foregoing terms, Borrower shall pay to the governmental authority or other party entitled thereto all real estate taxes and assessments and.

Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of all non-residential Leases no less than ten (10) days prior to execution of such Leases. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of the fully executed original of all non-residential Leases promptly following their execution. Borrower will not enter into any residential Leases for a term of more than one year and all such residential Leases shall be on a form approved by Lender without material modification. At Lenders request, Borrower shall cause Tenants to execute Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements reasonable satisfactory to Lender. Lender reserves the right to subordinate the Mortgage to any Lease.
(h) Defaults Under Leases . Borrower will not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrowers obligations under any of the Leases nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower to meet any requirement of any Lease including those with respect to any time limitation within which any of Borrowers work is to be done or the space is to be available for occupancy by the lessee. Borrower shall notify Lender promptly in writing in the event a non-residential Tenant commits a material default under a Lease.
(i) Lenders Attorneys Fees for Enforcement of Agreement . In case of any default or Event of Default hereunder, Borrower (in addition to Lenders attorneys fees, if any, to be paid pursuant to Section 7.3) will pay Lenders attorneys and paralegal fees (including, without limitation, any attorney and paralegal fees and costs incurred in connection with any litigation or bankruptcy or administrative hearing and any appeals therefrom and any post-judgment enforcement action including, without limitation, supplementary proceedings) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement; without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if at any time or times hereafter Lender employs counsel (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted) for advice or other representation with respect to the Project, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Project, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any portion of the Project, or to enforce any rights of Lender or Borrowers obligations hereunder, then in any of such events all of the attorneys fees arising
