NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2018

(Unaudited)

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 27 properties which include 19 residential buildings; 4 mixed use residential, retail and office buildings; 3 commercial buildings and individual units at one condominium complex. These properties total 2,711 apartment units, 19 condominium units and 108,043 square feet of commercial space. Additionally, the Partnership also owns a 40 - 50% interest in 8 residential and mixed use properties consisting of 695 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 financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s historical experience that are believed to be reasonable at the time. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgement. The Partnership’s critical accounting policies are those which require assumptions to be made about matters that are highly uncertain. Different estimates could have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial results. Judgements and uncertainties affecting the application of these policies and estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions and circumstances.

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 eight 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: Investment 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. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses. In 2013 and beyond, the carrying values of some investments fell below zero. We intend to fund our share of the investments’ future operating deficits should the need arise. However, we have no legal obligation to pay for any of the liabilities of such investments nor do we have any legal obligation to fund operating deficits. (See Note 14: Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures.)

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 equity’s 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. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the

variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s intent and ability to hold property. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s 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 Partnership’s 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 management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved.

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. Rental concessions 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) management’s 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 management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s 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 asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

Leasing Fees: 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.

Deferred Financing Costs: Costs incurred in obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized over the term of the related indebtedness. Deferred financing costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the debt liability to which they relate, except deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility, which are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets. In all cases, amortization of such costs is included in interest expense and was approximately $161,000 and $141,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

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 2018 or 2017 other than net income as reported.

Income (Loss) 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: Partner’s Capital).

Concentration of Credit Risks and Financial Instruments: The Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s revenues in 2018 or 2017. The Partnership makes its temporary cash investments with high-credit quality financial institutions. At September 30, 2018, substantially all of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents were held in interest-bearing accounts at financial institutions, earning interest at rates from 0.01% to 0.20%. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively approximately $10,658,000, and $8,898,000 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 $164,066 and $153,287 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Table of Contents

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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 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. All refinancing qualify as extinguishment of debt.

Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts in order to conform to current period presentation.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 the carrying amounts of certain of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and note payable, 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, 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 September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. 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 September 30, 2018 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 is includable in its partners’ tax returns and is different than financial statement income because of tax free exchanges, accelerated depreciation, different tax lives, timing differences related to prepaid rents, allowances and intangible assets related to significant acquisitions and the treatment of certain expenditures. Taxable income of approximately $5,438,000 was approximately $1,500,000 less than statement income for the year ended December 31, 2017. The primary reason for the difference was due to accelerated depreciation, tax free exchange and other differences in the treatment of certain expenditures. Substantial property acquisitions could also cause a significant difference between book and tax depreciation. The cumulative tax basis of the Partnership’s real estate at December 31, 2017 is approximately $1,532,000 less than the statement basis. The primary reasons for the lower tax basis were tax free exchanges, and accelerated depreciation. The Partnership’s tax basis in its joint venture investments is approximately $5,000,000 more than statement basis because of accelerated depreciation.

Certain entities included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are subject to certain state taxes. These taxes are not significant and are recorded as operating expenses in the accompanying consolidates financial statements.

While accelerated depreciation deductions are allowable, 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 adjustment 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 September 30, 2018, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under the statute of limitations are from the year 2014 forward.

NOTE 15. IMPACT OF RECENTLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, modifying the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for in the same manner as operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. The guidance supersedes previously issued guidance under ASC Topic 840 “Leases”. The guidance is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership has evaluated the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. Management foresees no significant impact at this time.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, which eliminates a requirement for the retroactive adjustment on a step by step basis of the investment, results of operations, and retained earnings as if the equity method had been effective during all previous periods that the investment had been held when an investment qualifies for equity method accounting due to an increase in the level of ownership or degree of influence. The cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee is to be added to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and the equity method of accounting should be adopted as of the date the investment becomes qualified for equity method accounting. This guidance is to be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The adoption of ASU 2016-07 will have no significant impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S 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 management’s 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 Partnership’s control and which can materially affect the Partnership’s actual results, performance or achievements for 2018 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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s investment criteria, the Partnership may purchase additional depositary receipts. The Partnership will consider refinancing existing properties if the Partnership’s cash reserves are insufficient to repay existing mortgages or if the Partnership needs additional funds for future acquisitions.

The core portfolio continued to experience strong revenue gains and continued high occupancy during the first three quarters of 2018. As the majority of the Partnership’s assets are in the category of Rent by Necessity (RBN) or student related housing, the properties continue to enjoy in place revenue gains established in the third and fourth quarters of last year. The Partnership’s revenue increases continue to exceed national levels and Management expects rent will continue to increase through the balance of 2018.

Residential rents continue to increase with new lease and renewal increases of approximately 4.1%. Year to date revenue gains, including the new acquisitions, were 11.0%. Excluding the new acquisitions, revenue increased by 4.8%, expenses increased by 2.3%, and Income before other income (expense) increased by 11.4% as compared to the same nine month period in 2017. Excluding the new acquisitions, net operating income (income before other income excluding depreciation and amortization expense) was approximately $20,763,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to approximately $19,938,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $825,000 (4.1%).

For the balance of 2018, Management expects rental income to increase, and operating expenses to increase with inflation.

On March 29, 2018, the Partnership purchased Hamilton Highlands, formally known as Webster Green Apartments, a 79 unit apartment complex located at 755-757 Highland Avenue, Needham, Massachusetts. Since acquiring the property, the Partnership has renovated the common areas, added energy efficient lighting to the hallways and parking areas and renovated two apartments. As part of the purchase contract, the seller was required to complete the construction of three new apartments and resurface the parking lot. These projects were completed during the third quarter. These projects will enhance the curb appeal of the property and lead to additional revenue growth.

On May 31, 2018, the Investment Property, Hamilton Park Towers (Hamilton Park) was refinanced for $125,000,000 with a 10 year term, interest only at a 3.99% fixed interest rate. Hamilton Park used the proceeds from the refinancing to pay off the existing mortgage of approximately $82,000,000 and distributed approximately $41,200,000 to its member owners. The Partnership’s share of the distribution was approximately $16,500,000.

The proceeds from the refinancing of Hamilton Park were used to pay down the Partnership’s existing Line of Credit from $25,000,000 to $5,000,000. In October, the Partnership used excess cash reserves to pay down the balance by and additional $3,000,000. As of November 1, 2018, the balance on the line of credit was $2,000,000.

In association with this refinancing, there was a defeasance cost of approximately $3,830,000. Based on its 40% ownership in the property, the Partnership incurred an expense of approximately $1,532,000, which is accounted for in income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. The cash flow of the new loan is approximately the same as that of the prior loan.

The Stock Repurchase Program that was initiated in 2007 has purchased 1,365,306 Depositary Receipts through September 30, 2018, or approximately 32% of the outstanding Class A Depositary Receipts. The Partnership has not purchased any Depositary Receipts in 2018.

At November 1, 2018, Harold Brown, his brother Ronald Brown and the former President of Hamilton collectively own approximately 33% 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 Partnership’s Class B Units, 75% of the capital stock of NewReal, Inc.(“NewReal”), the Partnership’s sole general partner, and all of the outstanding stock of Hamilton. Ronald Brown also owns 25% of the Partnership’s Class B Units and 25% of NewReal’s capital stock. In addition, Ronald Brown is the President and director of NewReal and Harold Brown is NewReal’s Treasurer and a director. The 75% of the issued and outstanding Class B units of the Partnership, controlled by Harold Brown, are owned by HBC Holdings LLC, an entity of which he is the manager.

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 Partnership’s 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 sign a one year lease. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, tenant renewals were approximately 64% with an average rental increase of approximately 3.7%, new leases accounted for approximately 36% with rental rate increases of approximately 4.6 %. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, leasing commissions were approximately $367,000 compared to approximately $279,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $88,000 (31.5%) from 2017. Tenant concessions were approximately $44,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to approximately $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $12,000 (37.5%). Tenant improvements were approximately $2,072,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to approximately $1,953,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $119,000 (6.1%).

Hamilton accounted for approximately 4.2% of the repair and maintenance expenses paid for by the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 3.2 % during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. 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 Hamilton’s 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 Hamilton’s headquarters in Allston, Massachusetts are generally serviced by local, independent companies.

Hamilton’s legal department handles most of the Partnership’s 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 $166,000 (76.7%) and approximately $178,000 (81.9 %) of the legal services paid for by the Partnership during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 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. Hamilton’s architectural department also provides services to the Partnership on an as-needed basis. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, Hamilton provided the Partnership approximately $427,000 in construction and architectural services, compared to approximately $137,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Hamilton’s accounting staff perform bookkeeping and accounting functions for the Partnership. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, Hamilton charged the Partnership $93,750 for bookkeeping and accounting services. For more information on related party transactions, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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.

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 management’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s 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 asset’s carrying value to determine if a write-down to fair value is required.

28

Table of Contents

Impairment: On an annual basis management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Partnership’s rental properties may be impaired. A property’s value is impaired only if management’s 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 Partnership’s 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 management’s assumptions, the future cash flows estimated by management in its impairment analyses may not be achieved. The Partnership has not recognized an impairment loss during the first nine months of 2018.

Investments in Joint Ventures: 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 Joint Ventures, and subsequently adjusted for the Partnership’s 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. Generally, the Partnership would discontinue applying the equity method when the investment (and any advances) is reduced to zero and would not provide for additional losses unless the Partnership has guaranteed obligations of the venture or is otherwise committed to providing further financial support for the investee. If the venture subsequently generates income, the Partnership only recognizes its share of such income to the extent it exceeds its share of previously unrecognized losses.

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 equity’s 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. The primary beneficiary is defined by the entity having both of the following characteristics: (1) the power to direct the activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the variable interest entity’s performance; and (2) the obligation to absorb losses and rights to receive the returns from VIE that would be significant to the VIE.

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 management’s 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 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $14,426,000, compared to approximately $13,322,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of approximately $1,104,000 (8.3%). The factors that can be attributed to this increase are as follows: the acquisition of Hamilton Highland resulted in an increase in rental income of approximately $489,000. In addition, rental income has increased at a number of properties due to increased demand and increases in rental rates. The Partnership Properties with the most significant increases in rental income include Captain Parker, 62 Boylston, Woodland Park, 1144 Commonwealth Avenue, Hamilton Oaks, and 140 North Beacon Street, with increases of approximately $66,000, $58,000, $55,000, $49,000, $43,000, and $36,000, respectively.

Table of Contents

to net income of approximately $990,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease in income of approximately$456,000 (46 .0%). This decrease is primarily due to a decrease on the gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $857,000, with the Partnership’s share amounting to 50%, on the sale of 3 units at Hamilton Bay Apartments LLC, and 3 units at Hamilton 1025 LLC, compared to a gain of approximately $1,866,000 on the sale of 8 units at Hamilton Bay Apartments LLC, 7 units at Hamilton 1025 LLC, and 1 unit at Hamilton Bay Sales LLC for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Included in the income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $645,000. The proportional income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from the investment in Dexter Park is approximately $54,000.

As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $660,000 compared to income of approximately $871,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease in income of approximately $211,000 (24.2 %).

As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Partnership’s share of the net income from the Investment Properties was approximately $1,073,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to net income of approximately $2,721,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease in income of approximately $1,648,000 (60.5%). This decrease is primarily due to a defeasance charge of approximately $3,830,000 incurred in connection with the refinancing of the property known as Dexter Park, and a gain on the sale of real estate of approximately $3,913,000 on the sale of 15 units at Hamilton Bay Apartments LLC, and 15 units at Hamilton 1025 LLC, compared to a gain of approximately $4,236,000 on the sale of 34 units at Hamilton Bay Apartments, Hamilton 1025, and Hamilton Bay LLC for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Included in the income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $1,911,000. The proportional loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from the investment in Dexter Park is approximately $1,090,000.

As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was approximately $2,592,000 compared to income of approximately $5,249,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease in income of approximately $2,657,000 (50.6%).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership’s principal source of cash during the first nine months of 2018 was the collection of rents, the proceeds from the line of credit, and the refinancing proceeds from Hamilton Park Towers, LLC. The Partnership’s principal source of cash in 2017 was the collection of rents and the proceeds from the mortgage for Woodland Partners. The majority of cash and cash equivalents of $9,234,900 at September 30, 2018 and $7,238,905 at December 31, 2017 were held in interest bearing accounts at creditworthy financial institutions.

The increase in cash of $1,995,995 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 is summarized as follows:

Net increase in cash and cash equivalents |  | $ | 1,995,995 |  | $ | 7,449,715 |

*Reclassed to comply with new FASB standard

The change in cash provided by operating activities is due to various factors, including a change in depreciation expense due to recent acquisitions, a change in income and distribution from joint ventures due to the defeasance charge for the refinancing at Dexter Park, and the sale of units, as well as other factors. The increase in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to the distribution from Dexter Park, partially offset by the acquisition of Hamilton Highlands, and a contribution to a joint venture. The change in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the pay down of the line of credit originally used for the purchase of Hamilton Highlands.

During 2018, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships have completed improvements to certain of the Properties at a total cost of approximately $3,056,000. These improvements were funded from cash reserves. Cash reserves have been adequate to fully fund improvements. The most significant improvements were made at Redwood Hills, 62 Boylston Street, Hamilton Oaks, Captain Parker, School Street Associates, and 1144 Commonwealth, at a cost of approximately $530,000, $364,000, $331,000, $258,000, $235,000 and $233,000 respectively. The Partnership plans to invest approximately $378,000 in additional capital improvements in 2018.

On July 6, 2017, Woodland Park Partners, LLC, a newly formed subsidiary of the Partnership, purchased the Woodland Park Apartments, a 126-unit apartment complex located at 264-290 Grove Street, Newton, Massachusetts (the “Property”), for a purchase price of $45,600,000.

To fund the purchase price, the Partnership borrowed $25,000,000 under its outstanding line of credit with KeyBank, NA, and $16,000,000 from HBC Holdings, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company controlled by Harold Brown. The loan from HBC Holdings will mature on July 16, 2018, with interest only at 4.75%. The balance of the purchase price was funded by the Partnership’s cash reserves. The Partnership paid off the loan of HBC Holdings on September 29, 2017, and the total interest paid on the loan was approximately $182,000.

On September 29, 2017, Woodland Park Partners LLC, ( “Woodland Park”), entered into a Multifamily Loan and Security Agreement with KeyBank National Association . The manager of Woodland Park is NewReal, Inc. (“New Real”), the general partner of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership. The Partnership is the sole member of Woodland Park. The Loan Agreement provides for a term loan in the principal amount of $22,250,000. The Loan is due on October 1, 2027 unless the due date is accelerated in accordance with the Loan’s terms, with interest only through October 1, 2022. Borrowings under the Loan will bear interest at the rate of 3.79%.

On March 29, 2018, Hamilton Highlands, LLC (Hamilton highlands”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership, purchased Webster Green Apartments, a 79 unit apartment complex located at 755-757 Highland Avenue, Needham, Massachusetts. The sale was consummated pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Contract by and between Webster Green Apartments, LLC, the prior owner of the Property, and The Hamilton Companies, Inc., an affiliate of the Partnership , which agreement was subsequently assigned by Hamilton to the Purchaser. In connection with the purchase, Hamilton Highlands entered into an Assumption and Modification Agreement dated as of March 29, 2018 with Brookline Bank pursuant to which Hamilton Highlands assumed a note dated as of January 14, 2016 in the principal amount of $21,500,000 and various agreements relating to the note including a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Security Agreement, Fixture Filing dated as of January 14, 2016. The purchase price was $34,500,000, consisting of a payment of approximately $13,000,000 in cash and the assumption of the note and mortgage. Hamilton Highlands funded $5,000,000 of the cash portion of the purchase price out of cash reserves and the remaining $8,000,000 by drawing on an existing line of credit.

Table of Contents

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 the Partnership received distributions of approximately $22,784,000 from the investment properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Partnership received distributions of approximately $5,370,000 from the investment properties. Included in these net distributions is the amount from Dexter Park of approximately $17,708,000 and $1,160,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively. The increase in this distribution relates to the refinancing of the property (see Note 14).

On July 31, 2014, the Partnership entered into an agreement for a $25,000,000 revolving line of credit. The term of the line was for three years with a floating interest rate equal to a base rate of the greater of (a) the Prime Rate (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus one-half of one percent per annum, or (c) the LIBOR Rate for a period of one month plus 1% per annum, plus the applicable margin of 2.5%.

The agreement originally expired on July 31, 2017, and was extended until October 31, 2020. The costs associated with the line of credit extension were approximately $128,000. The Partnership borrowed $25,000,000 to partially fund the purchase of Woodland Park. It paid down $8,000,000 through the financing of the property and its’ cash reserve. As of December 31, 2017, the credit line had an outstanding balance of $17,000,000. An additional $8,000,000 was drawn for the purchase of Hamilton Highlands on March 29, 2018, resulting in a balance of $25,000,000 at March 31, 2018. With the proceeds of the distribution from Dexter Park, the Partnership paid down the Line of Credit by $16,000,000. The line was paid down by $4,000,000 in July, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, the credit line had an outstanding balance of $5,000,000. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the line was paid down to $2,000,000.

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 finance current improvements to its properties. The Partnership may also sell or refinance properties. The Partnership’s 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 September 30, 2018, the Partnership had a 40%-50% ownership interest in eight Joint Ventures, five 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 September 30, 2018, our proportionate share of the non-recourse debt related to these investments was approximately $71,250,000. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Contractual Obligations

As of September 30, 2018, we are subject to contractual payment obligations as described in the table below.

Table of Contents

We have various standing or renewable service contracts with vendors related to our property management. In addition, we have certain other contracts we enter into in the ordinary course of business that may extend beyond one year. These contracts are not included as part of our contractual obligations because they include terms that provide for cancellation with insignificant or no cancellation penalties.

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 Partnership’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, some factors that could cause the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s 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

36

Table of Contents

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 Partnership’s internal controls as part of the evaluation being undertaken could have an adverse effect on the Partnership’s 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 Partnership’s yield on invested assets and cost of funds and, in turn, its ability to make distributions or payments to its investors.

As of September 30, 2018, the Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have approximately $421,677,000 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 2029. The Partnership, its Subsidiary Partnerships and the Investment Properties collectively have variable rate debt of $55,900,000 (without taking out unamortized deferred financing costs) as of September 30, 2018. Interest rates ranged from LIBOR plus 195 basis points to LIBOR plus 350 basis points. Assuming interest-rate caps are not in effect, if market rates of interest on the Partnership’s variable rate debt increased or decreased by 100 basis points, then the increase or decrease in interest costs on the Partnership’s variable rate debt would be approximately $559,000 annually and the increase or decrease in the fair value of the Partnership’s fixed rate debt as of September 30, 2018 would be approximately $21 million. 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. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Factors That May Affect Future Results”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Partnership’s management, with the participation of the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the

37

Table of Contents

Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Partnership’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that, as of the end of such period, the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Partnership in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2018 that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, if the IRS makes audit adjustments to our income tax returns, it may assess and collect any taxes (including any applicable penalties and interest) resulting from such audit adjustments directly from the Partnership. If, as a result of any such audit adjustment, we are required to make payments of taxes, penalties and interest, our cash available for distribution to our partners might be substantially reduced. These rules are not applicable to us for tax years beginning on or prior to December 31, 2017.
