                        BRT REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Basis of Preparation

The accompanying interim unaudited  consolidated financial statements as of June
30, 2001 and for the three and nine months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 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 and nine months ended June 30, 2001 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

Distributions

During the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001 BRT  declared a cash  distribution  to
shareholders of $.22 per share.  This  distribution  totaled  $1,613,000 and was
payable on July 2, 2001.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings per share was determined by dividing net income for the period by
the weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding  during each
period which was  7,202,417  and 7,165,263 for the three month period ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 and  7,184,424  and 7,165,263 for the nine month periods ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000,  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
and nine months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000  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
7,328,490  and 7,247,240 for the three month periods and 7,291,554 and 7,250,164
for the nine month periods, respectively.

Stock Options

During the quarter ended June 30, 2001,  155,625  previously issued options were
exercised.  Proceeds from these options  totaled  $894,000.  For the nine months
ended June 30, 2001, 165,625 previously issued options were exercised.  Proceeds
from these options totaled $954,000.

Note 3 - Real Estate Loans

If  all  loans   classified  as  non-earning  were  earning  interest  at  their
contractual  rates for the three and nine  months  ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,
interest  income would have increased by  approximately  $11,000 and $34,000 and
$59,000 and  $156,000  respectively.  In the quarter  ended June 30,  2001,  BRT
entered into a joint  venture  agreement in which BRT and an  affiliated  entity
each  have a 50%  interest.  As part  of  this  agreement  BRT,  made a  capital
contribution  of $650,000  and a mortgage  loan to the  venture in the  original
principal  amount  of  $2,950,000.  The  balance  due on this  mortgage  loan is
$2,950,000  at June 30,  2001.  At June 30,  2001  mortgage  loans to all  joint
ventures in which BRT is a venturer totaled  $3,565,000.  For the three and nine
months  ended June 30,  2001  interest  income on these  loans was  $36,000  and
$84,000, respectively.

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 June 30, 2001 of $24,740,000. At August 8, 2001 the fair value of these
shares  was  $23,330,000.  During  the  quarter  ended  June 30,  2001 the Trust
incurred  legal,  printing,  proxy solicitor fees and other expenses of $274,000
related to the solicitation of proxies in favor of BRT's nominee to the Board of
Trustees of Entertainment  Properties  Trust. For the nine months ended June 30,
2001 the  expenses  totaled  $575,000.  The shares  held by the Trust  represent
approximately 9.21% 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").  On July 25, 2001 BRT
entered into a revolving credit agreement with North Fork Bank (North Fork). The
North Fork agreement is a revolving facility.  Borrowings under the facility are
secured by  specific  receivables  and the  agreement  provides  that the amount
borrowed will not exceed 60% of the collateral  pledged. As of July 25, 2001 BRT
had  provided  collateral,  as  defined,  that would  permit BRT to borrow up to
approximately  $12,300,000  under  the  facility.  Interest  is  charged  on the
outstanding balance at prime plus 1/4% or under certain  circumstances at prime.
There  are no unused  line  fees.  BRT paid a fee of  $75,000  to North  Fork at
closing.  The  facility  matures  August 1, 2004 and may be extended for two one
year terms. The extension fee is $37,500 for each extension period. As of August
9, 2001 BRT has not drawn any funds against the line.  For the nine months ended
June 20, 2001  unamortized  deferred  fees in the amount of $264,000  associated
with the terminated  TransAmerica  revolving credit facility were written off as
an extraordinary item.





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 and nine months  ended June 30,  2001  accumulated
other  comprehensive  income  (loss),  which  is  solely  comprised  of the  net
unrealized gain (loss) on available-for-sale securities, increased $5,456,000 to
$7,181,000  from  $1,725,000  and increased  $10,314,000  from  ($3,133,000)  to
$7,181,000.  For the three and nine  months  ended  June 30,  2000 it  increased
$919,000 to  $1,106,000  from  $187,000 and  increased  $1,106,000  from $-0- to
$1,106,000 respectively.

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 entities  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.

Note 8  - Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

In June 1999, The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 137,  amending  Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 133. "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which extended the required date of adoption to fiscal
years  beginning  after  June 15,  2000.  SFAS 133  establishes  accounting  and
reporting  standards  requiring  that  every  derivative  instrument  (including
certain derivative  instruments  embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability  measured at its fair value.  SFAS
133 requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized currently
in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. The Trust adopted
SFAS 133 on  October  1, 2000 and the impact is  immaterial  due to the  Trust's
limited derivative activity.






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  $32,662,000  are due
during the twelve  months  ending June 30,  2002,  including  $1,694,000  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.

On July 25, 2001 BRT entered into a revolving  credit  agreement with North Fork
Bank (North Fork). The North Fork agreement is a revolving facility.  Borrowings
under the  facility  are  secured  by  specific  receivables  and the  agreement
provides that the amount borrowed will not exceed 60% of the collateral pledged.
As of July 25, 2001 BRT had provided collateral,  as defined,  that would permit
BRT to borrow up to approximately  $12,300,000  under the facility.  Interest is
charged  on the  outstanding  balance  at  prime  plus  1/4%  or  under  certain
circumstances at prime. There are no unused line fees. BRT paid a fee of $75,000
to North  Fork at  closing.  The  facility  matures  August  1,  2004 and may be
extended for two one year terms. The extension fee is $37,500 for each extension
period. As of August 9, 2001 BRT has not drawn any funds against the line.

During  the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2001,  the  Trust  generated  cash of
$5,264,000 from operations, $18,571,000 from collections from real estate loans,
$2,850,000  from the  placement of a first  mortgage on a leasehold  position in
commercial  real property,  $701,000 from the sale of marketable  securities and
$1,844,000 from the sale of real estate assets. These funds, in addition to cash
on  hand,  were  used  primarily  to  fund  real  estate  loan  originations  of
$29,167,000. BRT's cash and cash equivalents were $16,232,000 at June 30, 2001.

The Trust will satisfy its liquidity  needs from cash and liquid  investments on
hand,  interest  received  on  outstanding  real  estate  loans,  net cash  flow
generated  from the  operation  and sale of real  estate  assets  and with funds
available from the credit facility.




Results of Operations

Interest  and fees on loans  increased by $279,000 to  $1,844,000  for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,565,000  for the three months ended
June  30,  2000.  During  the  current  quarter  the  average  balance  of loans
outstanding increased by approximately  $8,800,000 accounting for an increase in
interest income of $277,000.  There was also an increase of $12,000 attributable
to  additional  fee  income  generated  during the  quarter.  There was a slight
decline in the rate earned on the  portfolio  which caused a decline in interest
income of $10,000.

For the nine months  ended June 30, 2001,  interest and fees on loans  increased
$1,879,000 from $4,548,000 to $6,427,000. During the current nine month period a
participating  loan was paid off resulting in "additional  interest" and fees of
$844,000.  In addition a loan that was  previously  non  performing  returned to
performing status and $ 170,000 of delinquent interest was received. The average
balance of loans  outstanding  also increased by $8,500,000  year over year also
resulting  in an  increase of interest  income of  $803,000.  An increase in the
interest rate earned on the  portfolio  from 12.35% to 12.69% also caused income
to increase by $111,000.  Offsetting these increases was a decline in fee income
of $49,000.

Operating  income on real estate  properties  increased to $504,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 2001 from  $283,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2000, an
increase of $221,000.  For the nine months ended June 30, 2001 operating  income
on real estate owned  increased  $491,000 from $701,000 to $1,192,000.  For both
periods,  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 $160,000 in the quarter
ended June 30, 2001 to  $301,000  from  $141,000  in the quarter  ended June 30,
2000.  For the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2001  income  from  unconsolidated
ventures  increased  $333,000  from  $414,000 to $747,000.  The increase in both
periods is primarily  the result of income  earned on new ventures  entered into
since June 30, 2000.

Other revenues, primarily investment income, declined to $812,000 in the quarter
ended June 30,  2001,  from  $868,000 in the same  quarter in 2000, a decline of
$56,000.  A decline in the rates earned on invested balances of approximately 76
basis points from 9.49% to 8.73% caused a decline of $71,000.  A slight increase
in the average  balance  outstanding  of $674,000  helped offset this decline by
$15,000.  For the nine  months  ended  June 30,  2001  this  category  increased
$590,000  from  $2,298,000  to  $2,888,000.  During the current  nine months BRT
received $438,000 from a residual  interest it held in a venture.  This residual
interest  resulted from the sale of a partnership  interest in a prior year. The
remaining  increase  of  $152,000  is the result of  increased  rates  earned on
invested  balances.  Over the last  several  quarters  the Trust has  invested a
portion of its available funds in higher  yielding REIT  securities  rather than
Treasury  securities and other money market  products,  causing the average rate
earned to  increase  from 9.06% in the prior years first nine months to 9.67% in
the current nine months.

The Advisor's  fee,  which is  calculated  based on invested  assets,  increased
$39,000 in the  quarter  ended June 30, 2001 to  $186,000  from  $147,000 in the
quarter  ended June 30,  2000.  In the nine  months  ended June 30, 2001 the fee
increased  $104,000  from  $419,000  in the prior nine months to $523,000 in the
nine  months  ended  June 30,  2001.  During  both of these  periods,  the Trust
experienced a higher  outstanding  balance of invested assets thereby causing an
increase in the fee.

General and  administrative  fees increased $61,000 from $725,000 in the quarter
ended  June 30,  2000 to  $786,000  in the  quarter  ended June 30,  2001.  This
increase is the result of a general  increase in expenses  caused by an increase
in loan  volume.  For the nine month  period  ended June 30,  2001  general  and
administrative  expenses  increased  $10,000 from  $2,262,000  in the nine month
period ended June 30, 2000 to $2,272,000 in the nine month period ended June 30,
2001.  During the nine month period the Trust incurred  increased legal expenses
of $96,000 over the prior year. Offsetting this increase was a general reduction
of other expenses of $86,000.

Expenses  related to  investment  income was $274,000 for the three month period
ended June 30, 2001. For the nine month period ended June 30, 2001 this category
was $575,000.  The prior three and nine month periods contained no such expense.
During the current quarter and nine months the Trust incurred  legal,  printing,
proxy solicitor fees and other expenses  related to the  solicitation of proxies
to vote in favor of BRT's  nominee  to the Board of  Trustees  of  Entertainment
Properties  Trust  (NYSE:EPR).  BRT owns  9.21%  of the  outstanding  shares  of
Entertainment Properties Trust and is its largest shareholder.

Operating  expenses  relating to real estate decreased  $79,000 from $329,000 in
the three month period ended June 30, 2000 to $250,000 in the three month period
ended June 30,  2001.  In the current  three  month  period  operating  expenses
increased  $156,000 primarily due to the purchase of a leasehold interest at the
end of the prior fiscal year. Offsetting this increase was a $235,000 decline in
legal expenses  relating to a property that the Trust acquired in foreclosure in
a prior fiscal year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2001 operating  expenses
relating to real estate increased $27,000 from $677,000 in the nine months ended
June 30,  2000 to $704,000 in the nine  months  ended June 30,  2001.  The Trust
incurred increased  operating expenses of $309,000 primarily due to the purchase
of a leasehold  interest in the prior fiscal year. These expenses were offset by
a reduction  in legal  expenses of $301,000  relating to a property  acquired in
foreclosure  in a  prior  fiscal  year.  General  operating  expenses  on  other
properties increased $19,000 over the nine month period.

Gain on the sale of real  estate  assets  and  foreclosed  properties  decreased
$308,000 in the quarter  ended June 30, 2001 to $282,000 from  $590,000.  In the
nine  months  ended  June 30,  2001 gain on the sale of real  estate  assets and
foreclosed properties increased $75,000 to $1,757,000 from $1,682,000.  The gain
in the three month period ended June 30,2001 resulted primarily from the sale of
individual  cooperative units that were previously acquired in foreclosure.  The
gain for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 also  includes a gain that resulted
from the sale of a residual  interest in a  partnership.  The gains in the three
and nine months ended June 30, 2000 are  primarily  from the sale of  individual
cooperative units that were previously acquired in foreclosure.
