BRT REALTY TRUST REPORTS

THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

Great Neck, New York — August 8, 2011 — BRT REALTY TRUST (NYSE:BRT), a real estate investment trust engaged in the business of originating and holding for investment senior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate in the United States,  today announced operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

 

Third Quarter Highlights:

 

·                  Total revenues increased 128% to $5.34 million from the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2010.

 

·                  $23.6 million of mortgage loans were originated during the quarter compared to $4.2 million in the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2010.

 

·                  Net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.17 million, or $0.23 per share, compared to a net loss of $2.97 million, or $0.21 per share, for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2010.

 

Operating Results:

 

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011 were approximately $5.34 million, an increase of 128% from the corresponding quarter in the prior year.  The increase is attributable to increased interest on real estate loans of $2.17 million, increased loan fee income of $642,000, and the increase in recovery of previously provided allowance of $637,000, increases of 367%, 1,338% and 175%, respectively.  During the current quarter, the Trust originated approximately $23.6 million in loans compared to $4.2 million in the corresponding quarter in the prior year.

 

Total expenses decreased by approximately $2.86 million, or 45%, in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2010, due primarily to a $2.63 million impairment charge in the prior year period and to a lesser extent, a $277,000 decrease in interest on borrowed funds.

 

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.17 million, or $.23 per share, in the current quarter compared to a net loss of $2.97 million, or $0.21 per share, in the corresponding quarter of the prior year.
