Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that review and evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented as of December 31, 2024, were effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:
• pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company;
• provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the board of directors of a company; and

Table of Contents
• provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial transactions.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024. In making this assessment, our management used criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on these criteria.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2024 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None of our officers or directors had any contract, instruction, or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" in effect at any time during the three months ended December 31, 2024.”

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of BRT Apartments Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BRT Apartments Corp. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

Preferred Equity Investments
Description of the Matter At December 31, 2024, the Company accounted for preferred equity investments totaling $17.7 million, net, as loans. As discussed in Notes 1 and 5 to the consolidated financial statements, at the inception of each such investment, the Company determined that the joint ventures in which the Company has the preferred equity investments are variable interest entities (“VIEs”), that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, and that such investments should be accounted for as loans.
Auditing the Company’s accounting for its preferred equity investments was especially challenging because (i) assessing the economic rights and control of the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact their economic performance to determine the primary beneficiary and (ii) evaluating, among other things, the classification and accounting for the preferred equity investments as loans, are highly judgmental.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit To test the Company’s determination that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs as well as its classification and accounting for the preferred equity investments as loans, our procedures included, among others, inspecting the preferred equity agreements, evaluating the judgments used by management to identify the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint ventures, and assessing the characteristics of the preferred equity investments, specifically the Company’s participation in the expected residual profits and the cash equity investments funded by the borrowers.

NOTE 1— ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization and Background
BRT Apartments Corp. (“BRT” or the “Company”) owns, operates and, to a lesser extent, develops multi-family properties. 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 December 31, 2024, BRT: (i) wholly-owns 21 multi-family properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of 5,420 units and a carrying value of $ 614,235,000 ; (ii) has ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in eight multi-family properties located in four states with an aggregate of 2,527 units, and the carrying value of its net equity investment is $ 31,258,000 ; (iii) have investments in joint ventures that own two multi-family properties which investments are treated for financial statement reporting purposes as loans ("the Preferred Equity Investments"), with a carrying value of $ 17,667,000 , and (iv) owns other assets, through consolidated and unconsolidated subsidiaries, with a carrying value of $ 1,765,000 . The Company's 29 multi-family properties are located primarily in the Southeast United States and Texas.
BRT conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for Federal income tax purposes.
Most 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
The joint venture that owns a commercial property in Yonkers, NY was determined not to be a variable interest entity ("VIE") but is consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entity.
Other than the preferred equity investments (described in the following paragraph), the Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. For each joint 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 VIEs. Additionally, 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 ventures in which we have the preferred equity investments were determined to be VIE's, as it has been determined that the equity holders lack the ability to direct the activities of the legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance. It was determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's performance, and therefore these entities are not consolidated.
The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The board of directors may, at its option, elect to revoke or terminate the Company's election to qualify as a real estate investment trust.
The Company will not be subject to federal, and generally state and local taxes on amounts it distributes to stockholders, provided it distributes 90% of its ordinary taxable income and meets other conditions.

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740 - "Income Taxes", the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company's income tax returns for the tax years 2021 through 2023 are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue from multi-family properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Rental payments are due in advance. Lease concessions are generally reported on a straight line basis over the lease term. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year .
Rental revenue from commercial properties, including the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases, net of any rent concessions and lease incentives, is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease.
Current Returns (as defined in Note 5- Loan receivables) from our preferred equity investments are recorded as interest income when it is earned from the sponsor of the joint venture and Hurdle Returns ( as defined in Note 5- Loan Receivable) are recorded as interest income when it is probable that it will be received. Deferred loan fees are capitalized and recorded into income over the life of the investment.
Real Estate Properties
Real estate properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and include properties acquired through acquisition or development.
When the Company purchases real estate assets from third-parties, the Company allocates the purchase price of real estate, including direct transaction costs applicable to an asset acquisition, among land, building, improvements and intangibles ( e.g ., the value of above, below and at market leases, and origination costs associated with in-place leases and above or below-market mortgages assumed at the acquisition date). The value, as determined, is allocated to the gross assets acquired based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of these assets and liabilities.
Depreciation for multi-family properties is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Intangible assets (and liabilities) are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases at the time of acquisition and is usually less than one year. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
Real estate is classified as held for sale when management has determined that the applicable criteria have been met. Real estate assets that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell on an individual asset basis. Real estate classified as held for sale is not depreciated.
The Company accounts for the sale of real estate when title passes to the buyer, sufficient equity payments have been received, there is no continuing involvement by the Company and there is reasonable assurance that the remaining receivable, if any, will be collected.
Real Estate Asset Impairments
The Company reviews each real estate asset owned quarterly to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the carrying amount of the asset can be recovered. Recognition of impairment is required if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the asset's carrying amount and that carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value and the fair value. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the property. The analysis includes an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends, the effects of leasing demands, and other factors. In evaluating a property for

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
impairment, various factors are considered, including estimated current and expected operating cash flow from the property during the projected holding period, costs necessary to extend the life or improve the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, selling costs, and the ability to hold and dispose of such real estate in the ordinary course of business. Valuation adjustments may be necessary in the event that effective interest rates, rent-up periods, future economic conditions, and other relevant factors vary significantly from those assumed in valuing the property. If future evaluations result in a decrease in the value of the property below its carrying value, the reduction will be recognized as an impairment charge. The fair values related to the impaired real estate assets are considered to be a level 3 valuation within the fair value hierarchy because they are based on unobservable inputs and are subjective in nature.
For investment in real estate ventures, if indicators of impairment are present, the Company determines if the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value. Fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the asset. The fair values related to the impaired investments in real estate ventures are considered to be a level 3 valuation within the fair value hierarchy.
Loan receivables
Loan receivables represent preferred equity investments that were funded by the Company with the intent and ability to hold to maturity or payoff. At the inception of each investment we determine whether such investment should be accounted for as a loan, equity interest or real estate. We have determined that all such investments are properly accounted for and reported as loans. Loans receivable are held for investment and may be subordinate to other senior loans. Loans receivable are reported at their unpaid principal balance, net of any deferred loan costs, and allowance for current expected credit losses (“CECL”). Unamortized premiums, discounts or deferred loans costs are deferred and amortized over the estimated life of the loan using the effective interest method and recognized in "Loan interest and other income" in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company monitors the credit quality of its loans receivable on an ongoing basis and considers indicators of credit quality such as loan payment activity, the estimated fair value of the related property, the seniority of the Company’s loan in relation to other debt and the prospects of the borrower. Given the small number of loans outstanding, the Company believes the characteristics of these receivables are not sufficiently similar to allow an evaluation as a group for CECL allowance. As such, all of the Company’s loans are evaluated individually for this purpose. The Company evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest based upon an assessment of the underlying value of the investment to determine whether these receivables are impaired.
In accordance with accounting guidance, the Company it treating its preferred equity investments as loans. Despite participating in the expected residual profit, each borrower (i.e., the sponsor/owner of the multi-family property in which the Company made a preferred equity investment) has a cash equity investment substantial to the project that are not funded by the mortgage lender. As such these arrangements are accounted for as loan receivables.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Loan Receivables
The CECL reserve required under ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326)” (“ASU 2016-13”), reflects the Company's estimate as of the balance sheet date of potential credit losses related to its loan portfolio. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through a provision for or reversal of current expected credit loss reserve on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. ASU 2016-13 specifies the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current loan portfolio, market conditions and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts for the duration of each loan. The Company has elected to apply the practical expediant to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of the receivables.
The Company considers key credit quality indicators in underwriting loans and estimating credit losses, including: the capitalization of borrowers and sponsors; the expertise of the sponsors in a particular real estate sector and geographic market; collateral type; geographic region; use and occupancy of the property; property market value; loan amount and lien position; industry risk rating for the same and similar loans; and prior experience with the sponsor. Such analyses are completed and reviewed by asset management personnel and evaluated by senior management on at least a quarterly basis, utilizing various

data sources, including, to the extent available, (i) periodic financial data such as property occupancy, rental rates, capitalization and discount rates, (ii) site inspections, (iii) sales and financing comparables, (iv) current credit spreads for refinancing and (v)
other relevant market data. Ultimate repayment of our Preferred Loan Interests is sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions, liquidity, existence of an active sales market for properties, and availability of replacement financing.
Adjustments to the allowance are recorded on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations as "Provision for credit loss". If the Company has determined that a loan or a portion of the loan is uncollectable, it will write off the uncollectable portion of the loan through an adjustment to its CECL allowance based on the net present value of expected future cash flows. Write-offs are recorded in the period in which the loan balance is deemed uncollectible based on management’s judgment.
Equity Based Compensation
Compensation expense for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and dividend equivalent rights are amortized over the vesting period of such awards, based upon the estimated fair value of such award at the grant date. The Company recognizes the effect of forfeitures when they occur and previously recognized compensation expense is reversed in the period the grant or unit is forfeited. The deferred compensation related to the performance based RSUs to be recognized as expense is net of certain performance assumptions which are re-evaluated quarterly. For accounting purposes, the shares of restricted stock and the RSUs are not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest; however, the restricted stock is included in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share as it participates in the earnings of the Company.
Per Share Data
Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to holders of common stock for the applicable year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such year. 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 shares of 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 estimates which are evaluated quarterly. The Company excludes any shares underlying the RSUs from such calculation if their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments; primarily, direct United States treasury obligations with maturities of three months or less when purchased.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held for construction costs and property improvements for specific joint venture properties as may be required by contractual arrangements
Segment Reporting
On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted the FASB ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting – Improvements to Reportable Segments Disclosures , as amended, which enhances disclosures of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker.

Substantially all of the Company’s real estate assets, at acquisition, are comprised of real estate owned that is leased to tenants on a short-term basis. Therefore, the Company aggregates real estate assets for reporting purposes and operates in one reportable segment.
The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. As the Company operates in one reportable segment, the CODM is provided financial reports which include (i) a consolidated and property level income statements (detailing total revenues, total real estate operating expenses and net income). These financial reports assist the CODM in assessing the Company’s financial performance and in allocating resources appropriately.
Other Assets
Other assets consist of real estate tax , insurance and replacement escrows (all of the foregoing classified as restricted cash within the consolidated statement of cash flows), lease intangibles, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses and other receivables.
Deferred Costs
Fees and costs incurred in connection with multi-family property financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt obligations. Fees and costs paid related to the successful negotiation of commercial leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Use of Estimates
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 consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 7— LEASES
Lessor Accounting
The Company owns a commercial property which is leased to two tenants under operating leases with current expirations ranging from 2028 to 2035, with 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 is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2045. There are no renewal options. As of December 31, 2024 , the remaining lease term is 20.5 years.
The Company is a lessee under a corporate office lease in Great Neck, NY, which is classified as an operating lease. The lease expires on December 31, 2031 and provides a five-year renewal option. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining lease term, including renewal options deemed exercised, is 12.0 years.
As of December 31, 2024 , the Company's right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,003,000 and $ 2,167,000 , respectively and as of December 31, 2023, the Company's ROU assets and lease liabilities were $ 2,183,000 and
$ 2,318,000 , respectively. The ROU assets and lease liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets in Other assets and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities , 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.

NOTE 10— INCOME TAXES
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT pursuant to the Code. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level if it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined, to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT status, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income; however, if it does not distribute 100% of its taxable income, it will be taxed on undistributed income. There are a number of organizational and operational requirements the Company must meet to remain a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, its taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate tax rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if it is qualified as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local income taxes and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. For income tax purposes, the Company reports on a calendar year basis. As of December 31, 2024, tax returns for the calendar years 2021 through 2023 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and various state and local tax jurisdictions.
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $( 226,000 ) and $ 54,000 , respectively, of state franchise tax (benefit) expense, net of refunds, relating to the 2024 and 2023 calendar years.

Restricted Stock
In January 2024 and January 2023, the Company granted shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2022 Plan and 2020 Plan, respectively. The shares of restricted stock generally 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 are included in the basic and diluted earnings per share computation. The weighted average remaining vesting period of the outstanding restricted stock is 1.95 years. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company granted 165,408 stock of restricted stock pursuant to the 2024 Plan.
The tables below presents information regarding the changes in the number of shares of restricted stock outstanding under the Company's equity incentive plans, compensation expense and unearned compensation for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):

Restricted Stock Units
In July 2024 and June 2023, the Company, pursuant to the 2024 Plan and the 2022 Plan, respectively, issued restricted stock units (the "RSUs") to acquire shares of common stock. The RSUs granted entitle the recipients, subject to continued service during the applicable performance period, to (i) shares of common stock, (the "TSR Award"), based on achieving, during the three-year performance period (the "Measurement Period"), specified levels in compounded annual growth rate ("CAGR") in total stockholder return (“TSR”), and (ii) shares of common stock based on achieving, during the Measurement Period, specified levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations (the "AFFO Award"), in each case as determined pursuant to the award agreement. In addition, with respect to each of the RSUs granted in 2024 and 2023, additional shares (the "Peer Group Adjustment") may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award based on attaining or failing to attain, as the case may be, during the Measurement Period, of specified levels of CAGR in TSR in comparison to the REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment Index.
The RSU recipients also received dividend equivalent rights entitling them to an amount equal to cash dividends they would have received with respect to the shares of common stock underlying their RSUs as if the underlying shares were outstanding during the Measurement Period, if, when, and to the extent, the related RSUs vest. The shares underlying the RSUs are not participating securities but are contingently issuable shares.

For the TSR Awards, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to assist management in determining fair value. The Monte Carlo valuation consisted of computing the grant date fair value of the awards using the Company's simulated stock price. For these TSR awards, the per unit of share fair value was estimated using the following assumptions:
Award Year Expected Life ( yrs) Dividend Rate Risk-Free Interest Rate Expected Price Volatility
2024 3 5.38 % 4.26 % to 5.17 % 29.84 % to 31.70 %
2023 3 5.08 % 4.42 % to 5.28 % 28.99 % to 37.97 %
For the AFFO Awards granted, fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense is not recognized on RSUs which the Company does not expect to vest because the performance conditions are not expected to be satisfied. Performance assumptions are re-evaluated quarterly.The total amount recorded at the grant date as deferred compensation with respect to the AFFO awards granted in 2024 and 2023 was $ 1,132,000 and $ 1,879,000 respectively.
The following table reflects the compensation expense recorded for all equity incentive plans (dollars in thousands):

NOTE 13— FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the framework established in fair value accounting guidance. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The hierarchy described below prioritizes inputs to the valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. This hierarchy maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring the most observable inputs to be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:
• Level 1 – inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets and liabilities in active markets
• Level 2— inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
• Level 3— inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to fair value.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments that are not reported 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 on the balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value due to the short term nature of these accounts.
Loan Receivables: At December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's loan receivables, equaled their carrying value due to their recent origination.
Junior subordinated notes: At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company's junior subordinated notes is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 3,578,000 and $ 3,613,000 , respectively, based on market interest rates of 7.94 % and 8.60 %, respectively.
Mortgages payable: At December 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is less than their carrying value by approximately $ 39,277,000 , assuming market interest rates between 5.38 % and 6.61 %. At December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value was less than the carrying value by $ 34,195,000 , assuming market interest rates between 4.88 % and 6.23 %. Market interest rates were determined using current financing transaction information provided by third party institutions.
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 assumptions. The fair values of debt obligations are considered to be Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy.
Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value
The Company's fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between markets participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other "observable" market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on "unobservable" market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3.
At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

NOTE 14— COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Company and/or its subsidiaries are parties to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, and in particular, personal injury claims involving the operations of the Company's properties. Although management believes that the primary and umbrella insurance coverage maintained with respect to such properties is sufficient to cover
NOTE 14—COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)
claims for compensatory damages, many of these personal injury claims also assert claims for exemplary ( i.e punitive) damages. Generally, insurance does not cover claims for punitive or exemplary damages.
The Company maintains a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan covering eligible employees and officers. Contributions by the Company are made through a money purchase plan and the amounts of such contributions are based upon a percent of qualified employees' total salary as defined therein. Pension expense approximated $ 515,000 and $ 473,000 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, $ 120,000 and $ 73,000 , respectively, remains unpaid and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
At December 31, 2024, the Company is the carve-out guarantor with respect to mortgage debt in principal amount of $ 443,107,000 at 18 multi-family properties.
NOTE 15— NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024 – 03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220–40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This ASU aims to enhance financial reporting transparency by requiring disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities ("PBEs"). The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories within the footnotes to the financial statements.
ASU 2024-03 adds ASC 220-40 to require a footnote disclosure about specific expenses by requiring PBEs to disaggregate, in a tabular presentation, each relevant expense caption on the face of the income statement that includes any of the following natural expenses: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, and (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization (DD&A) recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses. The tabular disclosure would also include certain other expenses, when applicable. The ASU does not change or remove existing expense disclosure requirements; however, it may affect where that information appears in the footnotes to the financial statements.
ASU No. 2024 – 03 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is evaluating the new guidance to determine impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
