Report of Independent Auditors

To the Partners

New England Realty Association Limited Partnership

We have audited the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses of Woodland Park Apartments, (the “Property”), for the year ended December 31, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statement.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the statement of revenue and certain expenses based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the statement of revenue and certain expenses is free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the statement of revenue and certain expenses.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the statement of revenue and certain expenses, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, the  auditor considers  internal control relevant to the Property’s preparation and fair presentation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Property’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the statement of revenue and certain expenses.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the statement of revenue and certain expenses referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the revenue and certain expenses as described in Note 2, for the year ended December 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis of Accounting

As described in Note 2, the accompanying statement of revenue and certain expenses has been prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Form 8-K/A of New England Realty Association Limited Partnership and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the Property’s revenue and expenses. Our opinion is not modified in this respect.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the statement of revenue 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 statement of revenue and certain expenses and accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 gives effect to the New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership ( “NERA”) acquisition and financing described in Note A as if such transaction had been completed as of June 30, 2017. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated income statements for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and for the year ended December 31, 2016, under the property’s previous ownership, are presented as if the acquisition and financings were effective January 1, 2016.

The pro forma information is based on the historical financial statements of NERA and Woodland Park Apartments and gives effect to the transactions, assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. In addition, these unaudited pro forma financial statements do not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the entities.

The pro forma statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have been achieved if the acquisition and financing had occurred as assumed. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of NERA, included in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, its Forms 10-Q for the three and six  months ended March 31,  and June 30, 2017, and the historical operating summary of Woodland Park Apartments elsewhere herein.

As previously mentioned, on June 19, 2017, New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”) entered into an Offer to Purchase Agreement  (the “Purchase Agreement”) with M.J. Realty Trust II (the “Seller”) to acquire Woodland Park Apartments, a 126 unit apartment complex located at 264-290 Grove Street, Newton,, Massachusetts (the “Property”), for a purchase price of $45.5 million. Woodland Park’s sole member is New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership.

On July 6, 2017, the Partnership, through its’ wholly owned subsidiary, Woodland Park, closed on the Purchase and Sale contract and acquired the property. The Partnership borrowed $25,000,000 from its outstanding line of credit with KeyBank, N.A., and $16,000,000 from HBC Holdings, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company controlled by Harold Brown. The balance of the purchase price was funded from the Partnership’s cash reserves.

The partnership’s management considered many factors in assessing the acquisition of the Woodland Park property. These factors included the level of rental income of the property, the availability of rental units and Woodland Park’s competitors in the Newton market place and its occupancy level. Management also considered potential changes in expenses due to economies of scale expected to be obtained via Woodland Park’s proximity to other properties of the Partnership, expense reductions expected from planned changes, potential increase in real estate taxes, as well as other matters.

The Partnership does not have a material relationship or significant business activities with the seller of the property and the acquisition is not an affiliated transaction.

Pro forma information is intended to provide investors with information about the impact of transactions by showing how specific transactions might have affected historical financial statements, illustrating the scope of the change in the historical financial position and results of operations. The adjustments made to historical information give effect to events that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the property and are factually supportable. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X.

The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements set forth below are not facts and there can be no assurance that the Partnership’s results would not have differed significantly from those set forth below if the acquisition had actually occurred on January 1, 2016. Accordingly, the unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent, and are not necessarily indicative of what our actual financial position and results of operations would have been had the acquisition of the property occurred on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of our future financial position or results of operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such information and the Partnership makes no representations regarding the information set forth below or its ultimate performance compare to it. The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements exclude any non-recurring charges or credits directly attributable to the acquisition.
