BRT REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Preparation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2000 and for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999
reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for such interim
periods. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
Certain items on the consolidated financial statements for the preceding periods
have been reclassified to conform with the current consolidated financial
statements.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BRT Realty Trust,
its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned or controlled real estate
entities. Investments in less than majority-owned entities have been accounted
for using the equity method. Material intercompany items and transactions have
been eliminated. BRT Realty Trust and its subsidiaries are hereinafter referred
to as "BRT" or the "Trust".
These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and related notes which are included in BRT's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Note 2 - Shareholders' Equity
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share were determined by dividing net income for the period
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each
period which was 7,170,698 and 7,165,263 for the three month periods ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Diluted earnings per share reflects
the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to
issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in
the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of BRT. For the
three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 diluted earnings per share was
determined by dividing net income for the period by the total of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of
the BRT's outstanding options using the treasury stock method which aggregated
7,255,542 and 7,249,712 respectively.
Note 3 - Real Estate Loans
If all loans classified as non-earning were earning interest at their
contractual rates for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999,
interest income would have increased by approximately $11,000 and $39,000,
respectively. During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, a non interest earning
loan with a carrying value of $2,835,000 was returned to earning interest.
Pursuant to a workout/refinancing agreement with the Borrower, interest income
of $170,000 representing a portion of the interest due was recorded in the
quarter ended December 31, 2000. The remaining interest is to be paid in monthly
installments until all past interest is paid.
Note 4 - Available-For-Sale Securities
Included in available-for-sale securities are 1,355,600 shares of Entertainment
Properties Trust (NYSE:EPR), which have a cost basis of $17,806,000 and a fair
value at December 31, 2000 of $14,912,000. The shares held by the Trust
represent approximately 9.24% of the outstanding shares of Entertainment
Properties Trust.
Note 5 -Note Payable - Credit Facility
On January 11, 2001 BRT terminated its revolving credit facility with
TransAmerica Business Credit Corporation ("TransAmerica"). BRT has applied for a
$15,000,000 credit facility from a different lender. Deferred fees in the amount
of $274,000 associated with the terminated credit facility will be written off
in the next quarter.
Note 6 - Comprehensive Income
Statement No. 130 establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and
its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements and
requires that all components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial
statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial
statements. During the three months ended December 31, 2000 accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss), which is solely comprised of the net unrealized
loss on available-for-sale securities, decreased to $2,672,000 from $3,133,000.
For the three month period ended December 31, 1999 accumulated other
comprehensive income, which is comprised solely of unrealized gain on
available-for-sale securities was $96,000.
Note 7 - Segment Reporting
Effective October 1, 1998, the Trust adopted the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure About
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. Statement 131 superseded FASB
Statement No. 14 Financial Reporting for Segments of a Business Enterprise.
Statement No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business
enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about
operating segments in interim financial reports. Statement No. 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services,
geographical areas, and major customers. The adoption of Statement No. 131 did
not affect results of operations or financial position. As the Trust operates
predominantly in one industry segment, it has determined that it has one
reportable segment and operates primarily in one geographic location. Management
believes it is in compliance with the standards established by Statement No.
131.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
BRT's primary business activity is originating and holding for investment senior
real estate mortgages, secured by income producing property. To a lesser extent
BRT originates and holds for investment junior real estate mortgage loans
secured by income producing property and senior mortgage loans secured by
unimproved real property. Its investment policy emphasizes short-term mortgage
loans. Repayments of real estate loans in the amount of $30,311,000 are due
during the twelve months ending December 31, 2001, including $1,710,000 due on
demand. The availability of mortgage financing secured by real property and the
market for selling real estate is cyclical. Accordingly, BRT cannot project the
portion of loans maturing during the next twelve months which will be paid or
the portion of loans which will be extended for a fixed term or on a month to
month basis.
In May, 1999 BRT entered into a $45,000,000 revolving credit facility with
TransAmerica Business Credit Corporation ("TransAmerica"). Borrowings under the
facility are secured by specific receivables of BRT and its subsidiary, BRT
Funding and the agreement provides that the amount borrowed will not exceed 80%
of the value of the collateral. As of December 31, 2000 BRT had acceptable
collateral which would permit BRT to borrow up to approximately $4,100,000 under
the facility. The facility matures on May 17, 2002.
On January 11, 2001 BRT terminated its revolving credit line with TransAmerica.
The outstanding balance and all accrued interest was paid at termination. BRT
has applied for a new $15,000,000 credit facility from a different lender. As of
February 10, 2001, a new credit facility was not in place. In the next fiscal
quarter BRT will recognize as an extraordinary item the write off of $274,000 of
deferred fees associated with the TransAmerica credit line.
During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Trust generated cash of
$3,161,000 from operations, $10,335,000 from collections from real estate loans,
$2,850,000 from the placement of a first mortgage on a leasehold position in
commercial real property and $495,000 from the sale of securities. These funds,
in addition to cash on hand, were used primarily to fund real estate loan
originations of $18,470,000. BRT's cash and cash equivalents were $14,833,000 at
December 31, 2000.
The Trust will satisfy its liquidity needs from cash and liquid investments on
hand, interest received on outstanding real estate loans and net cash flow
generated from the operation and sale of real estate assets.
Results of Operations
Interest and fees on loans increased by $1,211,000 to $2,732,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 2000 as compared to $1,521,000 for the three months
ended December 31, 2000. During the current quarter a participating loan was
paid off resulting in "additional interest" and fees of $844,000. Also a loan
that was previously non performing was returned to performing status and
$170,000 of delinquent interest was recorded. In addition to these one time
items, the average balance of loans increased by approximately $5,100,000
accounting for an increase in interest income of $207,000. These increases were
slightly offset by a 10 basis point decline in the interest rate earned on the
portfolio from 12.65% to 12.55%, resulting in a decline in interest income of
$12,000.
Operating income on real estate properties increased to $307,000 in the three
months ended December 31, 2000 from $188,000 in the quarter ended December 31,
1999, an increase of $119,000. This increase, primarily rental income, is
attributable to BRT's purchase of a leasehold interest in commercial real
property in the last quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated ventures increased $48,000 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2000 to $162,000 from $114,000 in the quarter ended December
31, 1999. This increase of $48,000 is the result of increased income from
existing ventures and income earned on new ventures entered into since the
quarter ended December 31, 1999.
Other revenues, primarily investment income increased to $1,267,000 in the
quarter ended December 31, 2000, from $502,000 in the same quarter in 1999, an
increase of $765,000. During the quarter BRT received $438,000 from a residual
interest it holds in a venture. This residual interest resulted from the sale of
a partnership interest in a prior year. The remaining increase of $327,000 is
the result of increased invested balances and increased rates earned on those
balances. The average balance of invested assets increased $3,300,000 causing
interest to increase $72,000. Over the last several quarters the Trust has
invested a portion of its available cash in higher yielding REIT securities
rather than treasury securities and other money market products, causing the
average rate earned to increase from 6.97% in the prior year's first quarter to
10.29% in the current quarter, accounting for the remaining $255,000 increase.
The Advisor's fee, which is calculated based on invested assets, increased
$36,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2000 to $168,000 from $132,000 in the
quarter ended December 31, 1999. In the current quarter the Trust experienced a
higher outstanding balance of invested assets thereby causing an increase in the
fee.
Operating expenses relating to real estate increased $44,000 in the quarter
ended December 31, 2000 to $208,000 from $164,000 in the quarter ended December
31, 1999. This increase represents mortgage interest expense on a leasehold that
the Trust purchased at the end of the prior fiscal year.
Amortization and depreciation increased from $97,000 in the quarter ended
December 31, 1999 to $139,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2000. This
increase of $42,000 is primarily leasehold amortization on a property that was
purchased during the last quarter of the prior fiscal year.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Credit Corporation.
