Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 31, 2005, Berkshire Income Realty, Inc. (the “Registrant”) terminated an agreement of sale (the “Agreement”) to purchase 100% of the outstanding interests of Owings Manor Investors, L.L.C., the fee simple owner of Owings Manor Apartments, a 791 unit multifamily apartment community located in Reisterstown, Maryland, from Owings Manor Realty, L.L.C. and GMAC Commercial Realty Partners, L.P. (collectively the “Sellers”). The Sellers were unaffiliated third parties. The purchase price was $67,235,000, and was subject to normal operating apportionments as provided for in the Agreement.
The Agreement contained a Buyer’s Right of Termination, due to expire on March 31, 2005, which provided the Registrant the option to terminate the agreement in its sole discretion. The Registrant determined that it was not in the best interests of the Registrant and its shareholders to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and terminated the Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Agreement, which did not provide for termination penalties, terminated immediately except with respect to the Registrant’s ongoing obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all claims and or liabilities arising out of the Registrant's entry onto the property upon exercise of its right of inspection during the Inspection Period (as defined in the Agreement).
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On March 30, 2005, the operating partnership of the Registrant, Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P. (“BIR-OP”), through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Westchase Limited Partnership, consummated the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Antilles Apartment Homes, a 324 unit multifamily apartment community located in Houston, Texas, from Trivest Westpark L.P., an unaffiliated third party.
The purchase price, paid from available cash, was $9,900,000 and was subject to normal operating pro rations and adjustments as provided for in the contract of sale. The Company will operate the property under the name Berkshires at Westchase Apartments (“Westchase”).
Upon review of the requirements of Rules 3-05 and 3-14 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and Item 9.01 of Form 8-K, the Registrant has determined that financial statements for the property acquired and the pro forma financial information of the Registrant reflecting the property purchased are not required to be filed as the acquisition of Westchase is not deemed “significant” by the Registrant.
