Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Trustees and Stockholders of
BRT Realty Trust and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses of 8439 Dorchester Road (“Silvana Oaks Apartments”) for the year ended December 31, 2011. The statement of revenues and certain expenses is the responsibility of the BRT Realty Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenues and certain expenses based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Silvana Oaks Apartments’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying statement of revenues and certain expenses was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in a Form 8-K/A of BRT Realty Trust. As described in Note 2, material amounts that would not be comparable to those resulting from the proposed future operations of Silvana Oaks Apartments are excluded from the statement of revenues and certain expenses and the statement of revenues and certain expenses is not intended to be a complete presentation of Silvana Oaks Apartments’ revenues and expenses.
In our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the revenues and certain expenses of Silvana Oaks Apartments for the year ended December 31, 2011, on the basis of accounting described in Note 2.

8439 Dorchester Road
Notes to Statements of Revenues and Certain Expenses
1. Organization
8439 Dorchester Road (“Silvana Oaks Apartments”) is a 208 unit multi-family garden apartment complex located in North Charleston, South Carolina.
BRT Realty Trust and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Trust”) is a real estate investment trust. The Trust originates and holds for investment senior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate properties and participates as an equity investor in joint ventures which acquire multi-family residential or other real estate assets.
On October 4, 2012, a consolidated joint venture comprised of TRB Silvana LLC, the Trust’s wholly owned subsidiary and an unaffiliated joint venture partner, acquired Silvana Oaks Apartments for a net purchase price of $21.5 million, including $17.7 million of mortgage debt.
2. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying statements of revenues and certain expenses of Silvana Oaks Apartments have been prepared in accordance with Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Trust’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A. Accordingly, the statements of revenues and certain expenses exclude certain expenses that may not be comparable to those expected to be incurred in the future operations of the aforementioned property. Items excluded consist of interest expense, depreciation, amortization, corporate expenses, and other costs not directly related to future operations.
In assessing Silvana Oak Apartments, the Trust considered the sources of revenue including, but not limited to, competitive factors present in the local market for residential rentals, the demographics of the area, the overall credit quality of the tenants and the local economic conditions and outlook. We also considered Silvana Oaks Apartments' expenses including, but not limited to, utility costs, tax rates and maintenance expenses.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the statements of revenues and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statements of revenues and certain expenses and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is recognized on an accrual basis. Generally leases are for a one year term and have no renewal options.
Income Taxes
Silvana Oaks Apartments was organized as a limited liability company and is not directly subject to federal and state income taxes.

The net purchase price was $21.5 million and included $17.7 million of mortgage debt.

The net purchase price was $59.4 million and included $45.2 million of mortgage debt.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Trust as of June 30, 2012, has been prepared as if the acquisitions had been completed on June 30, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the year ended September 30, 2011 are presented as if the acquisitions had been completed on October 1, 2010. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 are presented as if the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2011.
The pro forma statement of income for the nine months ended June 30, 2012 has been adjusted to reflect the income and expense items of Union Square that have been reported in the Trust historical column as the property was purchased in March 2012.
These pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and should be read in conjunction with (a) the Trust’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K and (b) the Trust’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended June 30, 2012.
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions and estimates considered appropriate by the Trust’s management; however, such statements do not purport to represent what the Trust’s financial position and results of operations would have been assuming the completion of the acquisition on October 1, 2010, nor do they purport to project the Trust’s financial position and results of operations at any future date or for any future period.
In the opinion of the Trust’s management, all adjustments necessary to reflect the effects of the transactions described above have been included in the pro forma consolidated financial statements.
