Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Statement is free of material misstatement.

An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Statement. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying Statement was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (for inclusion in the Current Report on Form 8K/A of Berkshire Income Realty, Inc.) as described in Note 1 and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Lenox Park’s revenue and expenses.

THE STANDARD AT LENOX PARK APARTMENTS

NOTES TO STATEMENTS OF REVENUE AND CERTAIN EXPENSES

Operations

The accompanying Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses include the operations (see “Basis of Presentation” below) of The Standard at Lenox Park Apartments (“Lenox Park”), a multifamily apartment community owned and managed by ING U.S. – Residential Fund, L.P., a third party not related to Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (the “Company”).

On December 6, 2006, Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P. (“BIR-OP”), the operating subsidiary of the Company, through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Lenox Park, L.L.C., consummated the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Lenox Park, a 375 unit multifamily apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia, from ING U.S. – Residential Fund, L.P.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.

The accompanying Statements of Revenue and Certain Expenses are not representative of the actual operations of Lenox Park for the periods presented. As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation S-X Rule 3-14, certain expenses, which may not be comparable to the expenses to be incurred by the Company in future operations of Lenox Park, have been excluded. Expenses excluded relate to Lenox Park’s management fees, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense. The Company is not aware of any other material factors relating to Lenox Park that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Real Estate

Costs related to the acquisition and improvements to the property and related equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance items are expensed as incurred.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income attributable to residential leases is recorded when due from residents. Leases are generally for terms of one year. Recoveries from tenants for utility expenses are recognized in the period the applicable costs are incurred. Other revenue includes application, relet, pet, laundry, late, cable and damage fees.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes are accrued and expensed over the periods presented in the statements of revenues and certain expenses. Payments of real estate taxes are generally made in arrears and are recorded against the accrual.

BERKSHIRE INCOME REALTY, INC.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTION TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On December 6, 2006, Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P. (“BIR-OP”), through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Lenox Park, L.L.C., consummated the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of The Standard at Lenox Park Apartments (“Lenox Park”), a 375 unit multifamily apartment community located in Atlanta, Georgia, from ING U.S. – Residential Fund, L.P., an unaffiliated third party. The purchase price was $47,100,000 and was subject to normal operating pro rations.

Concurrent with the closing on the acquisition, Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (the “Company”) obtained financing on the property. The financing includes a $35,000,000 first mortgage note payable, which is collateralized by the property. The note payable has a fixed interest rate of 5.80% for a term of 10 years and has an original maturity date of December 1, 2016. The loan requires payment of interest only for the first 60 months and the rate of interest is fixed for the term of the loan.

Lenox Park’s source of revenue is primarily its tenant rental revenue. Other revenue includes application, relet, pet, laundry, late, cable and damage fees. The Company believes Lenox Park is located in a distinct market and appeals to a distinct tenancy. The Atlanta Metropolitan Area, in the Company’s opinion, is a fundamentally sound, well-occupied market with positive trends in population, vacancy rates and rent increases for garden, mid and high-rise style apartments.

The Company, after reasonable inquiry, is not aware of any material factors relating to the property that would cause the reported financial information not to be indicative of future operating results.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the acquisition by the Company of Lenox Park. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 presents the financial position of the Company as if the acquisition of the property, which occurred subsequent to September 30, 2006, had occurred on September 30, 2006. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005, reflect the results of operations of the Company as if the acquisition of Lenox Park had been completed as of January 1, 2005.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not represent the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for any future date or period. Actual future results could be materially different from these pro forma results. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and the related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. In addition, the statements of revenue and certain expenses of Lenox Park contained elsewhere in this Form 8-K/A should be read in conjunction with these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements, subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ significantly from those described in this report. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding, among other things, our belief that Lenox Park is located in a distinct market and appeals to a distinct tenancy, our opinion that the Buckhead section of Atlanta, Georgia is fundamentally sound, well-occupied and has positive trends in population, vacancy rates and rent increases for garden style apartments. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause our results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, changes in economic conditions generally and the real estate and bond markets specifically, legislative/regulatory changes including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts

The risks listed herein are not exhaustive. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT ADJUSTMENTS

The following pro forma adjustments summarize the adjustments made to the September 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet of the Company:

Purchase accounting was applied for the acquisition of Lenox Park consistent with provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (“SFAS 141”), Business Combinations. In accordance with SFAS 141, the fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to the acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and personal property, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, including the value of in-place leases and tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The Company currently believes that it has not received all invoices for costs related to the acquisition of Lenox Park and that the allocation of the purchase price, net of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships, is preliminary until which time all final costs have been accumulated. The Company currently anticipates that the allocation of the purchase price and related costs will be finalized no later than March 31, 2007.

The total acquisition price paid for the property was $48,083,621 and included closing costs, financing costs and acquisition fees. The Company also assumed liabilities relating to normal operations, such as security deposits and other miscellaneous accrued expenses and deferred revenue.

The net purchase price, including closing costs and acquisition fees, was allocated as follows:

 

 

 

The Company paid an acquisition fee of $471,000 for the purchase of Lenox Park to an affiliate of the Company.

The following pro forma adjustments summarize the adjustments made to the Consolidated Statement of Operations of the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005. The pro forma adjustments reflect activity as if the acquisition of Lenox Park had been completed as of January 1, 2005.

NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ESTIMATED TAXABLE OPERATING RESULTS AND CASH TO BE MADE AVAILABLE BY OPERATIONS

(unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma results for December 31, 2005 presented in the Pro Forma Statement of Estimated Taxable Operating Results and Cash to be Made Available by Operations summarize the adjustments made to the results of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2005. The pro forma adjustments reflect activity as if the acquisition of Lenox Park had been completed as of January 1, 2005.

No income taxes have been provided in the statement because the Company is organized and operates in a manner so as to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Accordingly, the Company generally will not pay Federal income taxes on its income provided that distributions to its shareholders equal at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code.

The Company believes that due to its structure and the terms of the partnership agreement of the BIR-OP, the taxable income would be allocated to the preferred partners of BIR-OP and in turn be allocated to the preferred shareholders. Generally income is allocated to the preferred shareholders equal to their preferred distribution with the remaining net income, or effective net loss, allocated to the common partners of BIR-OP and the common shareholders.
