Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2022
Note 1 – Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (the "Company" or "BRT"), a Maryland corporation, owns, operates and to a lesser extent develops multi-family properties. The Company conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes.
These multi-family properties may be wholly owned by us or by unconsolidated joint ventures in which the Company contributes a significant portion of the equity. At March 31, 2022, the Company: (a) wholly owns eleven multi-family properties located in seven states with an aggregate of 2,864 units, and a carrying value of $ 326,350,000 ; (b) has interests, through unconsolidated entities, in 21 multi-family properties located in eight states with an aggregate of 6,121 units with a carrying value of $ 103,917,000 and; (c) has a 17.45 % interest in a development project with a carrying value of $ 2,122,000 . BRT's equity interests in these unconsolidated entities range from 17.45 % to 80 %. Most of the Company's properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.
The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At March 31, 2022, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $ 1,984,000 .
Note 2 – Basis of Preparation
The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such interim periods. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The consolidated audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Accordingly, these unaudited statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each venture, the Company evaluated the rights provided to each party in the venture to assess the consolidation of the venture. All investments in unconsolidated joint ventures have sufficient equity at risk to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support and, as a group, the holders of the equity at risk have power through voting rights to direct the activities of these ventures. As a result, none of these joint ventures are variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Additionally, as determined in accordance with GAAP, the Company does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities, and therefore the entities are not consolidated. These investments are recorded initially at cost, as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and subsequently adjusted for their share of equity in earnings, cash contributions and distributions. The distributions to each joint venture partner are determined pursuant to the applicable operating agreement and may not be pro-rata to the percentage equity interest each partner has in the applicable venture.
The joint venture that owns a property in Yonkers, New York, was determined not to be a VIE but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Substantially all of the Company's assets are comprised of multi- family real estate assets generally leased to tenants on a one-year basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.

Note 3 - Equity
Equity Distribution Agreements
On March 18, 2022, the Company entered into separate equity distribution agreements with two sales agents to sell an aggregate sales price of up to $ 40,000,000 of its common stock from time-to-time in an at-the-market offering. Effective as of March 18, 2022, the Company terminated the equity distribution agreements dated November 26, 2019, as amended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold 136,279 shares for an aggregate sales price of $ 3,081,825 before commissions and fees of $ 44,079 . During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company did not sell shares.
Common Stock Dividend Distribution
The Company declared a quarterly cash distribution of $ 0.23 per share, payable on April 7, 2022 to stockholders of record on March 24, 2022.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company's 2020 Incentive Plan (the "2020 Plan") permits the Company to grant: (i) stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance shares awards and any one or more of the foregoing, for up to a maximum of 1,000,000 shares; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards. As of March 31, 2022, 314,128 shares are available for issuance pursuant to awards under the 2020 Plan.
Restricted Stock Units
In June 2021, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire up to 210,375 shares of common stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan. The RSUs entitled the recipients, subject to continued service through the applicable vesting date ( i.e., March 31, 2024) to receive (i) the underlying shares if and to the extent certain performance and/or market conditions are satisfied at the vesting date, and (ii) an amount equal to the cash dividends that would have been paid from the grant date through the vesting date with respect to the shares of common stock underlying the RSUs if, when, and to the extent, the related RSUs vest. The shares underlying the RSUs are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.
Expense is recognized over the applicable vesting period on the RSUs which the Company expects to vest. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $ 250,000 and $ 37,000 , respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the RSUs. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, $ 1,997,000 and $ 2,248,000 of compensation expense, respectively, has been deferred and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting period.
Restricted Stock
In January 2022, the Company granted 158,973 shares, of restricted stock pursuant to the 2020 Plan. As of March 31, 2022 , an aggregate of 934,342 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the 2020 Incentive Plan and the 2018 Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan"). No additional awards may be granted under the 2018 Plan. The shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but is included in the earnings per share computation.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $ 724,000 and $ 501,000 respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 , $ 9,986,000 and $ 7,332,000 , respectively, has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards. The weighted average remaining vesting period of these shares of restricted stock is 3.1 years.
Stock Buyback
On September 13, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan authorizing the Company, effective as of October 1, 2021, to repurchase up to $ 5,000,000 of shares of common stock through December 31, 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did no t repurchase any shares of common stock.

Table of Contents
Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such period. Net income is also allocated to the unvested restricted stock outstanding during each period, as the restricted stock is entitled to receive dividends and is therefore considered a participating security. The RSUs are excluded from the basic earnings per share calculation, as they are not participating securities.
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 shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings per share is determined by dividing net income applicable to common stockholders for the applicable period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during such period.
In calculating diluted earnings per share, the Company, includes only those shares underlying the RSUs that it anticipates will vest based on management's current estimates. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSUs from such calculation if their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of earnings per share calculations (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 4 - Leases
Lessor Accounting
The Company owns a commercial building leased to two tenants under operating leases expiring from 2024 to 2028, with tenant options to extend or terminate the leases. Revenues from such leases are reported as rental income, net, and are comprised of (i) lease components, which includes fixed lease payments and (ii) non-lease components, which includes reimbursements of property level operating expenses. The Company does not separate non-lease components from the related lease components, as the timing and pattern of transfer are the same, and accounts for the combined component in accordance with ASC 842.
Lessee Accounting
The Company is a lessee under a ground lease in Yonkers, NY which is classified as an operating lease. The ground lease expires September 30, 2024 and provides for one 21-year renewal option. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining lease term, including the renewal option deemed exercised, is 23.5 years.
12
Table of Contents
The Company is a lessee under a corporate office lease in Great Neck, New York, which is classified as an operating lease. The lease expires on December 31, 2031 and provides a five-year renewal option. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 14.8 years.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's Right of Use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,518,000 and $ 2,589,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,568,000 and $ 2,629,000 , respectively.
The discount rate applied to measure each ROU asset and lease liability is based on the Company’s incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). The Company considers the general economic environment and its historical borrowing rate activity and factors in various financing and asset specific adjustments to ensure the IBR is appropriate to the intended use of the underlying lease. As the Company did not elect to apply the hindsight practical expedient, lease term assumptions determined under ASC 840 were carried forward and applied in calculating the lease liabilities recorded under ASC 842. The Company’s ground lease offers a renewal option which it assesses against relevant economic factors to determine whether it is reasonably certain of exercising or not exercising the option. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that the Company is reasonably certain will be exercised, if any, are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and ROU asset.

Property Acquisition
On March 23, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of its partners' remaining 28.1 % interest in Verandas at Alamo, San Antonio, TX, for a purchase price of $ 8,721,000 . As a result of this purchase, this property is wholly-owned and effective March 23, 2022, is included in the Company's consolidated results of operations and accounts, including mortgage debt (see note 9 - "Debt Obligations").
The Company determined that the gross assets purchased in this acquisition are concentrated in a single identifiable asset. Therefore, the transaction does not meet the definition of a business and is accounted for as an asset acquisition. The Company assessed the fair value of the tangible assets of the property as of the acquisition date using the cost accumulation and income approach which utilized a market capitalization rate of 4.5 % which is a Level 3 unobservable input in the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the allocation of the book value based on the proportionate share of the estimated fair value of the property on the acquisition date (dollars in thousands):

Property Disposition
On February 2, 2022 the Company sold a vacant land parcel located in Daytona, Florida for a sales price of $ 4,700,000 , and, after closing costs, recognized a nominal gain. In 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of $ 3,600,000 in connection with this property. At December 31, 2021, this property was classified as held-for-sale.
Note 6 - Impairment Charges
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including those held through investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, for impairment when there is an event or a change in circumstances indicating that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
The Company measures and records impairment charges, and reduces the carrying value of owned properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts. For its unconsolidated joint venture investments, the Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of the equity investment when indicators of impairment are present and the expected discounted cash flows related to the investment is less than the carrying value.
When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on properties held for use, the Company reduces its carrying value to fair value, and for properties held for sale, the Company reduces its carrying value to the fair value less costs to sell. When the Company does not expect to recover its carrying value on unconsolidated joint ventures that are under contract for sale, the Company, when it is determined that the sale is probable, reduces its carrying value to its fair value.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company did not record any impairment charges.
Note 7 - Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents funds held for specific purposes and are therefore not available for general corporate purposes. The restricted cash reflected on the consolidated balance sheets represents funds that are held by the Company specifically for capital improvements at certain multi-family properties owned by unconsolidated joint ventures.

Note 11 – Fair Value Measurements
Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets:
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable (included in other assets), accounts payable and accrued liabilities: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Junior subordinated notes: At March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the notes is lower than their carrying value by approximately $ 8,150,000 and $ 8,296,000 , respectively, based on a market interest rate of 4.30 % and 4.21 %, respectively.
Mortgages payable: At March 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $ 36,739,000 , assuming market interest rates between 3.92 % and 4.67 %. At December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable was greater than their carrying value by approximately $ 511,000 , assuming market interest rates between 3.12 % and 3.87 %. Market interest rates were determined using rates which the Company believes reflects institutional lender yield requirements at the balance sheet dates.
Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.
Non-recurring fair value measurements
The Company reviews each investment in real estate and joint venture interests when events or circumstances change, indicating the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. In the evaluation of an investment for impairment, many factors are considered, including estimated current and expected cash flows from the asset during the projected hold period, costs necessary to extend the life of the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, and the ability to hold or dispose of the asset in the ordinary course of business.

Note 12 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.
The following table presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate swaps on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31,

Note 13 – New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, lease, derivatives and other contracts. This guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Note 14 – Subsequent Events
Subsequent events have been evaluated and any significant events, relative to our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2022, that warrant additional disclosure, have been included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
