NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Berkshire Income Realty, Inc., (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, was incorporated on July 19, 2002 and 100 Class B common shares were issued upon organization. The Company is in the business of acquiring, owning, operating and rehabilitating multifamily apartment communities. As of September 30, 2007, the Company owned, or had an interest in, 27 multifamily apartment communities consisting of a total 7,895 apartment units.

Discussion of acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007

The Company acquired two properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The Company has deemed both acquisitions individually insignificant based on their purchase price of $20,500,000 and $24,250,000, respectively. Additionally, the Company has also deemed that total acquisitions of $44,750,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 are insignificant in the aggregate for purposes of determining significance pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business Combinations (“FAS 141”). Specific details of the acquisition are presented as follows:

On March 2, 2007, the operating partnership of the Company, Berkshire Income Realty – OP, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Hampton Manager, LLC. , completed the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Hampton House Apartments, a 222 unit mixed use high-rise apartment building located in Towson, Maryland, from an unaffiliated third party. The purchase price was $20,500,000 subject to normal operating pro rations. The purchase price and related closing costs were funded through a $20,000,000 advance from the revolving credit facility available from an affiliate and available cash. The Company obtained first mortgage financing, which is collateralized by the property, in the amount of $20,000,000 on April 26, 2007 and subsequently used a portion of the proceeds and the 1031 net proceeds to repay the outstanding advance on the revolving credit facility. The acquisition of Hampton House is intended to be the qualified replacement property in connection with the sale of properties identified for replacement pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with the requirements of a reverse Section 1031 tax exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

On June 1, 2007, the Operating Partnership, through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Sunfield, LLC. , completed the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Sunfield Lakes Apartments, a 200 unit multifamily apartment community located in the City of Sherwood, County of Washington, Oregon, from an unaffiliated third party. The purchase price was $24,250,000 subject to normal operating pro rations. The purchase price and related closing costs were funded through a $17,500,000 advance from the revolving credit facility available from an affiliate and available cash. The Company obtained first mortgage financing, which is collateralized by the property, in the amount of $19,440,000 on August 15, 2007 and subsequently used a portion of the proceeds and the 1031 net proceeds to repay the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility. The acquisition of Sunfield Lakes is intended to be the qualified replacement property in connection with the sale of properties identified for replacement pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with the requirements of a reverse Section 1031 tax exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Company identified the Dorsey’s Forge (“Dorsey’s”) and Trellis at Lee’s Mill (“Trellis”) properties as the properties relinquished as part of the 1031 tax-free exchange transaction. As required by the tax code, qualified 1031 intermediaries were retained to execute the Hampton House and Sunfield Lakes acquisitions, and the two relinquished properties transactions. The sale of Dorsey’s and Trellis have occurred as of September 30, 2007, and the 1031 tax-free exchange transaction was settled on July 13, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the purchase price allocations were final.

Discussion of dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007

On May 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of 100% of its interest in Trellis in Newport News, Virginia. The proceeds from the sale of Trellis at Lee’s Mill were deposited in an escrow account with a qualified institution pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company reinvested its share of proceeds from the sale of Trellis by purchasing qualified replacement property. The operating results of Trellis have been presented in the consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations in accordance with FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.”

On June 22, 2007, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of 100% of its interest in Dorsey’s in Columbia, Maryland. The Company’s share of the proceeds from the sale of Dorsey’s were deposited in an escrow account with a qualified institution pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company reinvested its share of the proceeds from the sale of Dorsey’s by purchasing qualified replacement property. The operating results of Dorsey’s have been presented in the consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations in accordance with FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.”

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The Company has assessed the impact of FIN 48 and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 provides guidance for, among other things, the definition of fair value and the methods used to measure fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on the financial position, operating results and related disclosures of the Company.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The provisions of SFAS No. 159 are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 159 may have on the financial position, operating results and related disclosures of the Company.

On June 19, 2007 the Accounting Standards Executive Committee ("AcSEC") issued Statement of Position 07-1, “Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies” ("SOP 07-1"). SOP 07-1 provides guidance for determining whether an entity is within the scope of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide Investment Companies (the Guide). For those entities that are investment companies under SOP 07-1, it also addresses whether the specialized industry accounting principles of the Guide (referred to as investment company accounting) should be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor that has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investment company and applies the equity method of accounting to its investment in the entity (referred to as an equity method investor). In addition, this SOP includes certain disclosure requirements for parent companies and equity method investors in investment companies that retain Investment Company accounting in the parent company’s consolidated financial statements or the financial statements of an equity method investor. SOP 07-1 was to be effective for the Company’s 2008 fiscal year, however, in October 2007, the FASB agreed to propose an indefinite delay of the effective date of SOP 07-1.

Unaudited interim consolidated financial statements

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited; however, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair statement for the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year. The interim financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, comprehensive loss equaled net loss. Therefore, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Loss required to be presented has been omitted from the consolidated financial statements.

3.	INVESTMENT IN MULTIFAMILY VENTURE

Effective May 1, 2004, the Company consummated the Limited Liability Company Agreement of JV Marina Mile (“Multifamily Venture”) with a partner, whereby each of the parties to the agreement agreed to participate, on a pro rata basis, in the economic benefits of the ownership of The Berkshires at Marina Mile Apartments (“Marina Mile”). Under the terms of the Multifamily Venture agreement governing the entity, the partner contributed, in cash, 65% of the total venture equity in exchange for a 65% interest in the Multifamily Venture. The Operating Partnership contributed its interest in Marina Mile, L.L.C., the fee simple owner of the property, in exchange for a 35% interest in the Multifamily Venture and a cash distribution of approximately $3,594,693 net of $387,236 of additional capital invested by the Operating Partnership. Both parties are entitled to proportional distributions of available cash up to the effective 10% Preferred Return. After payment of the Preferred Return and the return of each party’s capital contribution, the Operating Partnership is entitled to additional distributions equal to approximately 30% of the distributions otherwise payable to the venture partner. The Operating Partnership is the managing member of the Multifamily Venture. The Company evaluated its investment in the Multifamily Venture and concluded that the investment did not fall under the requirements of FIN 46R as the Multifamily Venture partner retains a majority control over the Multifamily Venture through the decision-making authority granted in the Limited Liability Company Agreement consistent with its economic interests; therefore, the Company accounted for the investment under Statement of Position 78-9, Accounting for Investments in Real Estate (“SOP “78-9”), as an equity method investment.

On April 18, 2006, Marina Mile was sold to an unrelated party. According to the provisions of the Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Company’s overall ownership interest in the proceeds from the sale of Marina Mile increased from 35.00% to 45.52% and pursuant to additional agreements executed in relation to the sale, this increase was effective as of February 1, 2006. The Company evaluated the change in the ownership interests in the Multifamily Venture and has determined that the increased ownership interests do not materially change the economic interests of the Multifamily Venture partners and would not result in the Company controlling the Multifamily Venture as promulgated in EITF 04-05, Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights.

Pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s completion of the sale of 100% of the interest in the Marina Mile property, the net proceeds from the sale in the amount of $11,073,818 were held in an escrow account at a qualified institution pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange under the Code, as amended. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had reinvested the total proceeds from the sale of interests in Marina Mile of $11,073,818 in the acquisition of Chisholm Place Apartments and Briarwood Village Apartments, which were completed on June 28, 2006 and August 30, 2006, respectively. The Company believes the acquisitions of Chisholm Place and Briarwood Village fulfill the purchase requirement under the 1031 exchange. The Company received the final distribution of $141,802 from the Multifamily Venture on September 7, 2007.

The summarized balance sheets of the Multifamily Venture are as follows:

	September 30,		December 31,

(1)

As of September 30, 2007, the Multifamily Venture has made final distributions of cash, and as a result, there are no assets remaining at September 30, 2007. At December 31, 2006 the Company’s carrying value of its share of equity in the Multifamily Venture was equal to its ownership interest if computed using the Company’s 45.52% ownership percentage applied to the Multifamily Venture owner’s equity as presented in the table above.

The summarized statement of operations of the Multifamily Venture for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 is as follows:

4.	INVESTMENT IN MULTIFAMILY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP VENTURE

On August 12, 2005, the Company, together with affiliates and other unaffiliated parties, entered into a subscription agreement to invest in the Berkshire Multifamily Value Fund, L.P. (“BVF”), an affiliate of Berkshire Property Advisors, L.L.C. (“Berkshire Advisor” or the “Advisor”). Under the terms of the agreement and the related limited partnership agreement, the Company and its affiliates agreed to invest up to $25,000,000, or approximately 7%, of the total capital of the partnership. The Company’s final commitment under the subscription agreement with BVF totals $23,400,000. BVF’s investment strategy is to acquire middle-market properties where there is an opportunity to add value through repositioning or rehabilitation. Under the terms of the BVF partnership agreement, the Company’s ability to acquire additional properties is restricted to the two following conditions: (1) the Company can invest up to $8,000,000 per year in new properties from available cash or cash generated from the refinancing of existing properties, for a period of up to thirty-nine months, at which time such restriction will lapse, and (2) the Company is authorized to sell existing properties and reinvest those proceeds through transactions structured to comply with Section 1031 tax deferred exchanges under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“1031 Exchanges”), without limit.

The managing partner of BVF is an affiliate of the Company. The Company has evaluated its investment in BVF and concluded that the investment, although subject to the requirements of FIN 46R, will not require the Company to consolidate the activity of BVF as the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the venture as defined in FIN 46R.

In relation to its investment in BVF, the Company has elected to adopt a three-month lag period in which it recognizes its share of the equity earnings of BVF in arrears. The lag period is allowed under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18 (As Amended) – The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock Statement of Position 78-9 and is necessary in order for the Company to consistently meet it regulatory filing deadlines. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has accounted for its share of the equity in BVF operating activity through June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2006, respectively.

On March 14, 2007, the Company received notice of the sixth capital call by BVF, an affiliate of the Company. The capital call represented 7.5%, or $1,750,187, of the total $23,400,000 capital committed to BVF by the Company. The contribution was paid to BVF on March 27, 2007 and brought the total direct investment by the Company to $13,931,488 or 59.5% of the total committed capital amount of $23,400,000.

On June 15, 2007, the Company received notice of the seventh capital call by BVF, an affiliate of the Company. The capital call represented 4.8%, or $1,120,120, of the total $23,400,000 capital committed to BVF by the Company. The contribution was paid to BVF on June 29, 2007 and brought the total direct investment by the Company to $15,051,608, or 64.3% of the total committed capital amount of $23,400,000.

On September 10, 2007, the Company received notice of the eighth capital call by BVF, an affiliate of the Company.

The contribution was paid to BVF on September 24, 2007 and brought the total direct investment by the Company to $18,551,982, or 79.3% of the total committed capital amount of $23,400,000

6. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY - AFFILIATE

On June 30, 2005, the Company obtained new financing in the form of a revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility in the amount of $20,000,000, was provided by an affiliate of the Company. The facility provides for interest on borrowings at a rate of 5% above the 30 day LIBOR rate, as announced by Reuter’s, and fees based on borrowings under the facility and various operational and financial covenants, including a maximum leverage ratio and a maximum debt service ratio. The revolving credit agreement (the “Agreement”) had a maturity date of December 31, 2006, with a one-time six-month extension available at the option of the Company. The terms of the facility were agreed upon through negotiations and were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), which is comprised solely of directors who are independent under applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the American Stock Exchange. On October 30, 2006, the Company exercised its contractual option to extend the maturity date on the revolving credit facility available from the affiliate. The Company sent notice to the affiliate of its intent, pursuant to the credit agreement, to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by six months, until June 30, 2007.

On May 31, 2007, the Company executed an amendment to the Agreement. The amendment provides for an extension of the maturity date by replacing the current maturity date of June 30, 2007 with a 60-day notice of termination provision by which the lender can affect a termination of the commitment under the Agreement and render all outstanding amounts due and payable. The amendment also adds a clean-up requirement to the Agreement, which requires the borrower to repay in full all outstanding loans and have no outstanding obligations under the Agreement for a 14 consecutive day period during each 365-day period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company borrowed $37,500,000 and $7,000,000, respectively, related to the acquisition activities of the Company and repaid advances of $37,500,000 and $7,000,000, respectively, during the same periods. There were no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The Company incurred interest and fees of $676,400 and $3,860 related to the facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Net income (loss) per common share, basic and diluted, is computed as net income (loss) available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the applicable period, basic and diluted. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company did not have any common stock equivalents therefore basic and diluted earnings per share were the same.

The reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 follows:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2007			2006			2007			2006

Net income (loss) from continuing operations	$	(7,096,817	)	$	(15,375,491	)	$	(22,211,815	)	$	(14,768,568	)
Less: Preferred dividends		(1,675,197	)		(1,675,198	)		(5,025,595	)		(5,025,595	)

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as those relating to tenant issues. All such proceedings taken together are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

10. MINORITY INTERESTS

Minority Interest in Properties

Two of the Company’s properties, Hannibal Grove Apartments and Century II Apartments, are owned with a third party. A third property, Dorsey’s Forge Apartments, was sold on June 22, 2007. The Company’s interest in Hannibal Grove Apartments is 91.382% and its interest in Century II Apartments is 75.82%.

Effective September 24, 2004, the Company consummated the JV BIR/ERI, L.L.C. multifamily venture agreement (“JV BIR/ERI”) with Equity Resources Investments, L.L.C. (“ERI”), an unrelated third party, whereby each of the parties to the agreement agreed to participate, on a pro rata basis, in the economic benefits of the venture. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the Company owns a 58% interest as the managing member and ERI owns the remaining 42% interest. The Company evaluated its investment in JV BIR/ERI and concluded that the investment did not fall under the requirements of FIN 46R because it did not meet the conditions set forth in the FASB interpretation. Therefore the Company accounted for the investment under Accounting Research Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements based on its controlling interest in the subsidiary.

Minority interest in the properties is carried at zero on the balance sheet due to the minority interest having no obligation to fund accumulated losses/deficits.

Minority Common Interest in Operating Partnership

The following table sets forth the calculation of minority common interest in the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30:

	2007			2006
Net income (loss)	$	9,104,119		$	(14,976,336	)
Add:
Minority common interest in Operating Partnership		2,928,300			10,737,100
Net income (loss) before minority interest in Operating Partnership		12,032,419			(4,239,236	)
Preferred dividend		(5,025,595	)		(5,025,595	)
Income (loss) available to common equity		7,006,824			(9,264,831	)
Common Operating Partnership units of minority interest		97.61	%		97.61	%
Minority common interest in Operating Partnership	$	6,839,361		$	(9,043,401	)

In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership recognized net income. The net income was not sufficient to create positive basis in the Operating Partnership and therefore no allocation was made to the minority common interest in Operating Partnership at September 30, 2007, except to the extent distributions were paid or accrued. In the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Operating Partnership incurred a net loss and therefore no allocation was made to the minority common interest in Operating Partnership at September 30, 2006, except to the extent distributions were paid or accrued.

The following table sets forth a summary of the items affecting the minority common interest in the Operating Partnership:

	Minority			Company’s
	Common Interest			Interest in
	in Operating			Operating			Total Common
	Partnership			Partnership			Owners’ Deficit

Balance at December 31, 2006	$	(64,701,866	)	$	250,546		$	(64,451,320	)

Minority common interest in Operating Partnership		6,839,361			167,463			7,006,824

Distributions to common interest in Operating Partnership		(2,928,300	)		(71,700	)		(3,000,000	)

Balance at September 30, 2007 (1)	$	(60,790,805	)	$	346,309		$	(60,444,496	)

(1) Minority common interest in Operating Partnership is carried at zero on the balance sheet due to the minority interest having no obligation to fund losses/deficits.

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, the minority interest in the Operating Partnership consisted of 5,242,223 Operating Partnership units held by parties other than the Company.

12. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is currently party to a legal proceeding initiated by a seller/developer from whom the Company acquired a property in 2005. The dispute involves the interpretation of certain provisions of the purchase and sales agreement related to post acquisition construction activities. Specifically, the purchase and sales agreement provided that if certain conditions were met, the seller/developer would develop a vacant parcel of land contiguous to the acquired property with 18 new residential apartment units (the “New Units”) for the benefit of the Company at an agreed upon price. The purchase and sales agreement also provided the opportunity for the seller/developer to build a limited number of garages (the “Garages”) for the existing apartment units, for the benefit of the Company at an agreed upon price.

In 2006, the Company accured $190,000 with respect to this matter based on a settlement offer extended to the plantiff. On November 9, 2007, the judge issued a summary judgment with respect to the construction of the New Units. The judgment was against the Company, but did not specify damages, which the plaintiff will be required to demonstrate at trial. The Company believes that there are reasonable grounds for appeal of this ruling and intends to vigorously defend against this claim. No ruling has been made with respect to the claim on the Garages and the Company also intends to vigorously defend against this claim.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company believes it is probable that it will incur $190,000 in losses with respect to the New Units and as of September 30, 2007, the Company has accrued $190,000 with respect to this matter.

The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that additional losses of up to $800,000 could be incurred, but the actual amount is not estimable at September 30, 2007, and therefore the Company has not recorded any amounts for these losses.

The Company and our properties are not subject to any other material pending legal proceedings and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 14, 2007 the Walden Pond property located in Texas sustained a fire in one of its buildings. The fire was extensive, to the single building and resulted in substantial damage to most of the units in the building. The Company is in the process of obtaining estimates to renovated the building, which may require complete reconstruction.

On November 1, 2007, the Company commenced construction on the development of vacant land adjacent to the Arboretum property. The development plans include the construction of five buildings, containing 143 units, and a clubhouse. The project cost is currently estimated at $17,000,000 and is expected to be completed in late 2008.

General

The Company detailed a number of significant trends and specific factors affecting the real estate industry in general and the Company’s business in particular in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company believes those trends and factors continue to be relevant to the Company’s performance and financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” (“FIN 48” or the “Interpretation”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in companies’ financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition whereby companies must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination. The second step is measurement whereby a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition of recognized tax benefits, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. The Company has assessed the impact of FIN 48 and has determined that the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the financial position or operating results of the Company.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company had $30,854,850 and $15,393,249 of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Cash provided and used by the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are as follows:

	Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,

	2007		2006			2007			2006

Cash provided by operating activities	$	1,931,437	$	4,712,093		$	8,385,763			9,632,944
Cash used in investing activities		10,393,924		(10,605,980	)		(45,762,236	)		(22,134,994	)
Cash provided by financing activities		10,435,761		33,600,980			52,838,074			35,592,601

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, cash increased by $15,461,601. The main component of the overall increase was due to $52,838,074 of cash provided by the Company’s financing activities, which include proceeds from new first, second and refinanced mortgage debt on various properties totaling $73,090,000. The increases from the credit activities were offset by payments of principal on existing mortgage loans repayment of refinanced loan, distributions to common and preferred shareholders and distributions to minority owners in the properties. The increase was partially offset by $45,762,236 used in the investing activities of the Company. The activities relate mainly to the acquisition of the Hampton House and Sunfield Lakes properties for $21,097,783 and $24,654,747, respectively, capital expenditures related to the rehabilitation of the Company’s properties of $12,562,119 and additional investments of capital in BVF of $6,370,681, which was partially offset by the release of section 1031 related transaction funds of $18,651,058. Additionally, the net cash used by the investing and financing activities of the Company was further offset by an increase in cash of $8,385,763 provided by the operating activities of the Company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company sold two properties but did not recognize the $18,393,796 in cash these sales generated as the funds were held in restricted escrow accounts pending the settlement of the related 1031 exchange transaction in the second quarter of 2007. The transaction was completed on July 13, 2007 and the Company recognized those cash flows in the third quarter of 2007.

The Company’s principal liquidity demands are expected to be distributions to our preferred and common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders, capital improvements, rehabilitation projects and repairs and maintenance for the properties, acquisition of additional properties within the investment restrictions placed on it by BVF, debt repayment and investment in the affiliated BVF. (See footnote 4 to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item I herein for additional information).

The Company intends to meet its short-term liquidity requirements through net cash flows provided by operating activities, cash distributions from its investments, including the Company’s investments in the Multifamily Venture, and advances from the revolving credit facility. The Company considers its ability to generate cash to be adequate to meet all operating requirements and make distributions to its stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to REITs. Funds required to make distributions to our preferred and common shareholders and Operating Partnership unitholders that are not provided by operating activities will be supplemented by property debt financing and refinancing activities.

The Company intends to meet its long-term liquidity requirements through property debt financing and refinancing. The Company may seek to expand its purchasing power through the use of venture relationships with other companies.

As of September 30, 2007, the Company has obtained fixed interest rate mortgage financing on all of the properties in the portfolio with the exception of the Arboretum Land, a parcel of vacant land adjacent to the Arboretum Place Apartments. First mortgage fixed interest rate debt on Hampton House and Sunfield Lakes was completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The financing provided $39,440,000 and was used primarily to pay down advances on the revolving credit facility used to acquire the property. The Company also refinanced the outstanding debt on the Berkshire on Brompton property. The refinancing provided additional liquidity of $12,200,000. Supplemental fixed interest rate mortgage financing on the Yorktowne and Westchester West properties was completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and provided $15,050,000 of additional liquidity during the period.

The Company has a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility in place with an affiliate of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company borrowed $20,000,000, which it later repaid and borrowed an additional $17,500,000 from the credit facility for the acquisition of properties that were acquired prior to obtaining financing. The Company used the proceeds of the borrowing to acquire the Hampton House and Sunfield Lakes properties. The additional $17,500,000 revolving credit facility balance was paid off during the third quarter of 2007, and there were no borrowings outstanding on the credit facility as of September 30, 2007.

Capital Expenditures

The Company incurred $3,691,597 and $2,937,957 in recurring capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Recurring capital expenditures typically include items such as appliances, carpeting, flooring, HVAC equipment, kitchen and bath cabinets, site improvements and various exterior building improvements.

The Company incurred $8,896,502 and $10,404,856 in renovation-related capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Renovation related capital expenditures generally include capital expenditures of a significant non-recurring nature, including construction management fees payable to an affiliate of the Company, where the Company expects to see a financial return on the expenditure or where the Company believes the expenditure preserves the status of a property within its sub-market.

In January 2004, the Company authorized the renovation of 252 apartment units at its Berkshires of Columbia (formerly Hannibal Grove property (“Columbia”) to provide for in-unit washer and dryer hookups. The total cost of the project was estimated to be approximately $1,455,000, or $5,775 per apartment unit. The Company believes the renovations are necessary to maintain the property’s competitiveness in its sub-market and that the property will also achieve significant growth in rental rates as a result of the renovations. In September 2005, in addition to the washer and dryer program, the Company approved, after a successful trial project on a limited number of units, the interior renovation of all 252 units at Columbia, including the in-unit washer and dryer hookups in units not yet converted, at an anticipated total cost of $5,292,000, or $21,000 per unit. As of September 30, 2007, 218 units, or 87%, of 252 apartment units at Columbia have been renovated, of which 213 units, or 98%, of those completed units have been leased. The Company currently anticipates spending, and has budgeted in 2007, approximately $2,600,000 for continued renovations at Hannibal and currently anticipates completing the project in the fourth quarter of 2007. Total costs committed to date are below original estimates and are anticipated to remain under budget through the remainder of the project.

In May 2005, the Company authorized the renovation of its Berkshires on Brompton property. The renovations at the 362-unit property include significant rehabilitation to the interior and exterior common areas as well as individual interior unit renovations. The total cost of the project, including interior and exterior renovations, is currently estimated at approximately $6,800,000. The Company initially tested the interior rehabilitation plan on 100 units, at a cost of approximately $6,300 per unit or $630,000, and has determined that the financial returns estimated in the plan are achievable. Based on the successful financial returns of the 100-unit test, the Company decided to move forward with the renovation of the remaining 262 units. The costs associated with the renovation of the remaining 262 units were approved as part of the 2006 capital budget, which included a per-unit estimated cost of $7,300 or $1,912,600. As of September 30, 2007, all 362 units, or 100%, including the 100 test units, have been renovated, of which 343 units, or 95%, of those completed units have been leased.

In December 2006, the Company, as part of the decision to acquire the Standard at Lenox Park property, approved a rehabilitation project at the 375-unit property of approximately $5,000,000 for interior and exterior improvements. As of September 30, 2007, the project, which includes rehabilitation of the kitchens, bathrooms, lighting and fixtures, was 57% complete as 212 of the 375 units had been completed, of which 197 units, or 93% have been leased.

Other properties are undergoing limited-scope interior renovation projects during 2007. The decision to undertake these renovations was also made as part of the decision to acquire the respective properties. The projects include rehabilitation of the kitchens; bathrooms, lighting and fixtures included exterior renovations of the Chisholm Place and Briarwood Apartments properties. Both projects were complete as of September 30, 2007.

The Company owns two parcels of vacant land, which are contiguous with other properties the Company currently owns. The Company continues to assess the viability of developing additional apartment units on those parcels. On November 1, 2007, the Company commenced construction on the development of vacant land adjacent to the Arboretum property. The development plans include the construction of five buildings, containing 143 units, and a clubhouse. The project cost is currently estimated at $17,000,000 and is expected to be completed in late 2008. No decision to proceed nor have any funds been committed to the development of the other parcel of vacant land as of September 30, 2007.

The Company’s capital budgets for 2007 anticipate spending approximately $20,092,718 for ongoing rehabilitation and development of current portfolio properties during the year. As of September 30, 2007, the Company has not committed to any new significant rehabilitation projects.

Acquisitions

On March 2, 2007, the Operating Partnership, through a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Hampton Manager, LLC. , completed the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Hampton House Apartments, a 222 unit mixed use high-rise apartment building located in Towson, Maryland, from an unaffiliated third party. The purchase price was $20,500,000 subject to normal operating pro rations. The purchase price and related closing costs were funded through a $20,000,000 advance from the revolving credit facility available from an affiliate and available cash. The Company obtained first mortgage financing, which is collateralized by the property, in the amount of $20,000,000 on April 26, 2007 and subsequently used a portion of the proceeds and the 1031 net proceeds to repay the outstanding advance on the revolving credit facility. The acquisition of Hampton House is intended to be the qualified replacement property in connection with the sale of properties identified for replacement pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with the requirements of a reverse Section 1031 tax exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As required by the tax code, a qualified 1031 intermediary was retained to execute the Hampton House acquisition and relinquished properties transactions. As of September 30, 2007, the purchase price allocation is final and no further adjustment is contemplated.

On June 1, 2007, the Operating Partnership, through a newly and wholly owned subsidiary, BIR Sunfield, LLC. , completed the acquisition of 100% of the fee simple interest of Sunfield Lakes Apartments, a 200 unit multifamily apartment community is located in the City of Sherwood, County of Washington, Oregon, from an unaffiliated third party. The purchase price was $24,250,000 subject to normal operating pro rations. The purchase price and related closing costs were funded through a $17,500,000 advance from the revolving credit facility available from an affiliate and available cash. On August 15, 2007, the Company closed on first mortgage financing, which is collateralized by the property, in the amount of $19,440,000. A portion of the financing and 1031 net proceeds were used to repay the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility. The acquisition of Sunfield Lakes is intended to be the qualified replacement property in connection with the sale of properties identified for replacement pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with the requirements of a reverse Section 1031 tax exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Company identified the Dorsey’s Forge (“Dorsey’s”) and Trellis at Lee’s Mill (“Trellis) as the properties it relinquished as part of the 1031 tax-free exchange transaction. As required by the tax code, qualified 1031 intermediaries were retained to execute the Hampton House and Sunfield Lakes acquisitions, and the two relinquished properties transactions. The sale of Dorsey’s and Trellis occurred in the second quarter, and the 1031 tax-free exchange transaction was subsequently settled on July 13, 2007.

Discussion of dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2007

On May 30, 2007, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of 100% of its interest in Trellis in Newport News, Virginia. The proceeds from the sale of Trellis at Lee’s Mill were deposited in an escrow account with qualified institution pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intends to reinvest its share of proceeds from sale of Trellis in the purchase of qualified replacement property. The operating results of Trellis have been presented in the consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations in accordance with FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” as those results were previously reported as part of continuing operations.

On June 22, 2007, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of 100% of its interest in Dorsey’s in Columbia, Maryland. The proceeds from the sale of Dorsey’s Forge were deposited in an escrow account with qualified institution pursuant to a transaction structured to comply with a Section 1031 tax deferred exchange under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and intends to reinvests its share of proceeds from sale of Dorsey’s Forge in the purchase of qualified replacement property. The operating results of Dorsey’s Forge have been presented in the consolidated statement of operations as discontinued operations in accordance with FAS 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” as those results were previously reported as part of continuing operations.

The gain from the sale of Dorsey’s and Trellis is reflected, on a combined basis, as gain on disposition on real estate assets in the discontinued operations section of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Declaration of Dividends and Distributions

On March 25, 2003, the Board declared a dividend at an annual rate of 9% on the stated liquidation preference of $25 per share of the outstanding shares of the Company’s 9% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, which is payable quarterly in arrears, on February 15, May 15, August 15, and November 15 of each year to shareholders of record in the amount of $0.5625 per share per quarter.

On November 8, 2006, the Board authorized the general partner of the Operating Partnership to distribute two quarterly distributions of $1,000,000 each, in aggregate, from its operating cash flows to common general and common limited partners, payable on February 15, 2007 and May 15, 2007. On the same day, the Board also declared a common dividend of $0.016996 per share on the Company’s Class B common stock payable concurrently with the Operating Partnership distributions.

On May 16, 2007, the Board authorized the general partner of the Operating Partnership to distribute quarterly distributions of $1,000,000 each, in the aggregate, from its operating cash flows to common general and common limited partners, payable on August 15, 2007 and November 15, 2007. On the same day, the Board also declared a common dividend of $0.016996 per share on the Company’s Class B common stock payable concurrently with the Operating Partnership distributions.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company’s portfolio (the “Total Property Portfolio”), which consists of all properties acquired or placed in service and owned through September 30, 2007, remains the same in total number as two properties were acquired and two properties were sold during the period. As a result of changes in property holdings in the Total Portfolio over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the consolidated financial statements show considerable changes in revenue and expenses from period to period. The Company does not believe that its period-to-period financial data are comparable. Therefore, the comparison of operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 reflects the changes attributable to the properties owned by the Company throughout each period presented (the “Same Property Portfolio”).

“Net Operating Income (“NOI”) falls within the definition of a “non-GAAP financial measure” as stated in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is a measure of operating results that is useful to investors to analyze the performance of a real estate company because it provides a direct measure of the operating results of the Company’s multifamily apartment communities. The Company also believes it is a useful measure to facilitate the comparison of operating performance among competitors. The calculation of NOI requires classification of income statement items between operating and non-operating expenses, where operating items include only those items of revenue and expense which are directly relate to the income producing activities of the properties. We believe that to achieve a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance, NOI should be compared with our reported net income (loss). Management uses NOI to evaluate the operating results of properties without reflecting the effect of capital decisions such as the issuance of mortgage debt and investments in capital items, in turn these capital decisions have an impact of interest expense and depreciation and amortization.

The most directly comparable financial measure of our NOI, calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, is net income, shown on the statement of operations. For the three month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, net income (loss) was $(7,107,515) and $(15,442,272), respectively. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, net income (loss) was $9,104,119 and $(14,976,336), respectively. A reconciliation of our NOI to net income (loss) for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 are presented as part of the following tables on page 29 and 30, and 33 and 34.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2007 to the three months ended September 30, 2006.

The tables below reflect selected operating information for the Same Property Portfolio and the Total Property Portfolio. The Same Property Portfolio consists of the 23 properties acquired or placed in service on or prior to January 1, 2006 and owned through September 30 2007. The Total Property Portfolio includes the effect of the additional rental properties acquired after January 1, 2005. (The 2007 and 2006 activity for the Dorsey’s and Trellis properties have been removed from the presentation as the results have been reflected as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.)

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2007 to the three months ended September 30, 2006.

(Same Property Portfolio)

Revenue

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 in comparison to the similar period of 2006. The majority of the increase is attributable mainly to properties that have completed major renovations in late 2006 and early 2007 and are leasing the newly renovated units at premium rent levels and are raising the occupancy levels at the properties following the completion of the rehabilitation projects. Properties experiencing increased post rehabilitation rent levels include the Seasons property in Maryland and the Berkshires on Brompton property in Texas. Market conditions remain favorable in the majority of the sub-markets in which the Company operates. The Company continues to benefit from ongoing property rehabilitation projects at various properties in the Same Property Portfolio where successful results benefit the Company by yielding enhanced rental revenues as rehabilitated units are placed back into service with incrementally higher rental rates than pre-rehabilitation levels.

Interest, utility reimbursement and other revenue

Same Property Portfolio interest, utility reimbursement and other revenues increased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2006. Utility reimbursements increased, mainly due to increased usage of utility bill back programs to tenants designed to recoup individual unit utility expenses for electric, gas and water and sewer charges, period over period and were partially offset by decreases in interest and other miscellaneous revenues. Miscellaneous revenues consist primarily of the fees charged to tenants and potential tenants, including late fees, parking fees, pet fees, laundry fees, application fees and other similar items.

Operating Expenses

Operating

Overall operating expenses decreased slightly in the quarter ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. Property insurance expense saw the largest decrease in costs during the current quarter as compared to the year earlier comparative period. The Company has renewed its property insurance coverage for the portfolio for the upcoming policy period as of May 1, 2007, and was able to achieve modest cost reductions in premiums for its property insurance coverage. Decreases in payroll and related benefits, due to position vacancies at various properties, and some utilities, including gas, were the main contributors in offsetting the increase in insurance premiums. The Seasons of Laurel property contributes significantly to the Company’s overall utility expense as the electricity charges at the property are paid by the Company and are not currently billed directly to tenants for usage of their apartment unit. The Company is currently undertaking steps necessary to modify the utility infrastructure to allow for the passing of the individual apartment unit utility costs directly to its tenants and expects to implement system changes to allow for direct billing by unit.

Maintenance

Maintenance expense decreased slightly in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 and is due mainly to normal operating fluctuations including normal maintenance activities including cleaning, interior painting and landscaping. Management continues to employ a proactive maintenance plan at its multifamily apartment communities within its portfolio and considers it an effective program that contributes to preserving, and in some cases increasing, its occupancy levels.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes decreased for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable period of 2006. The decrease is due mainly to an adjustment of assessments on various properties in the portfolio, including properties located in Texas which have seen a reduced real estate tax due to newly enacted tax legislation creating a new business excise tax designed to offset the property tax burden in the state of Texas. The savings were partially offset by the continued escalation of assessed property valuations for other properties in the Same Property Portfolio. The Company scrutinizes the assessed values of its properties and avails itself of arbitration or similar forums made available by the taxing authority for increases in assessed value that it considers to be unreasonable. The Company has been successful in achieving tax abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made to the assessed values. The Company anticipates a continued upward trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place significant reliance on property tax revenue.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses decreased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006. The overall decrease is due mainly to normal operating expense fluctuations experienced throughout the properties of the Same Property Portfolio including decreases in legal fees related to ongoing property related issues and projects at certain properties in the portfolio as well as legal fees related to tenant issues including those related to rent collection at various properties in the portfolio. Additionally, expenses related to the updating of computer software decreased in the current three-month period.

Management Fees

Management fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased in the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 based on increased levels of revenue of the Same Property Portfolio. Property management fees are assessed on the revenue stream of the properties managed by an affiliate of the Company.

Non Operating Expenses

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense is related to the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by substantial rehabilitation projects ongoing at the Yorktowne, Seasons of Laurel and Hannibal Grove properties and to a lesser degree, normal recurring capital spending activities over the remaining properties in the Same Property Portfolio.

Interest

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased significantly over the comparable period of 2006. The increase is attributable to the refinancing of mortgages on properties at an incrementally higher principal level than the related paid-off loan, with the majority of the additional debt obtained on the Seasons of Laurel property, which was partially offset by the reduced interest rate obtained on the new debt and new second mortgage debt on seven other properties that was not in place in the comparative period of 2006. Additionally, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, supplemental debt in the form of two second mortgages were obtained and contributed to the increased interest expense.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships

Amortization of acquired in-place-leases and tenant relationships decreased significantly in the three months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same three-month period of 2006. The decrease is related mainly to the completion of amortization of the acquired-in-place lease intangible assets booked at acquisition and amortized over a 12 month period which did not extend into the three month period ended September 30, 2007.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

(Same Property Portfolio)

Revenue

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 in comparison to the similar period of 2006. The majority of the increase is attributable mainly to properties that have completed major renovations in late 2006 and early 2007 and are leasing the newly renovated units at premium rent levels and are raising the occupancy levels at the properties following the completion of the rehabilitation projects. Properties experiencing increased post rehabilitation rent levels include the Seasons property in Maryland and the Berkshires on Brompton property in Texas. Market conditions remain favorable in the majority of the sub-markets in which the Company operates. The Company continues to benefit from ongoing property rehabilitation projects at various properties in the Same Property Portfolio where successful results benefit the Company by yielding enhanced rental revenues as rehabilitated units are placed back into service with incrementally higher rental rates than pre-rehabilitation levels.

Interest, utility reimbursement and other revenue

Same Property Portfolio interest, utility reimbursement and other revenues increased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006. Utility reimbursements increased, mainly due to increased usage of bill back programs to tenants, period over period and were partially offset by decreases in interest and other miscellaneous revenues. Miscellaneous revenues consist primarily of the fees charged to tenants and potential tenants, including late fees, parking fees, pet fees, laundry fees, application fees and other similar items.

Operating Expenses

Operating

Overall operating expenses decreased slightly in the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006. Property insurance expense saw the largest increase in costs during the current period as compared to the year earlier comparative period. As anticipated, increases in premium levels for property insurance coverage, which was effective on July 1, 2006, continues to exceed costs incurred in the comparative period of the prior year, with the largest increases realized in the Florida and Texas markets. The Company has renewed its property insurance coverage for the portfolio for the upcoming policy period as of May 1, 2007, and was able to achieve modest cost reductions in premiums for its property insurance coverage. Decreases in payroll and related benefits, due to position vacancies at various properties, and some utilities, including gas, were the main contributors in offsetting the increase in insurance premiums. The Seasons of Laurel property contributes significantly to the Company’s overall utility expense as the electricity charges at the property are paid by the Company and are not currently billed directly to tenants for usage of their apartment unit. The Company is currently undertaking steps necessary to modify the utility infrastructure to allow for the passing of the individual apartment unit utility costs directly to its tenants and expects to implement system changes to allow for direct billing by unit.

Maintenance

Maintenance expense decreased slightly in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of 2006 and is due mainly to normal operating fluctuations including normal maintenance activities including cleaning, interior painting and landscaping. Management continues to employ a proactive maintenance plan at its multifamily apartment communities within its portfolio and considers it an effective program that contributes to preserving, and in some cases increasing, its occupancy levels.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate taxes decreased for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 from the comparable period of 2006. The decrease is due mainly to an adjustment of prior year taxes assessed on two properties and recognized in the current period. The savings were partially offset by the continued escalation of assessed property valuations for other properties in the Same Property Portfolio. The Company scrutinizes the assessed values of its properties and avails itself of arbitration or similar forums made available by the taxing authority for increases in assessed value that it considers to be unreasonable. The Company has been successful in achieving tax abatements for certain of its properties based on challenges made to the assessed values. The Company anticipates a continued upward trend in real estate tax expense as local and state taxing agencies continue to place significant reliance on property tax revenue. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company received a refund of approximately $88,500 of real estate taxes paid in a prior period on the Country Place I and II properties related to an exemption initiated by the tax authority.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to 2006. The overall increase is due mainly to normal operating expense fluctuations experienced throughout the properties of the Same Property Portfolio including increases in legal fees related to ongoing property related issues and projects at certain properties in the portfolio as well as legal fees related to tenant issues including those related to rent collection at various properties in the portfolio. Additionally, expenses related to the updating of computer software increased in the current six-month period.

Management Fees

Management fees of the Same Property Portfolio increased in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period of 2006 based on increased levels of revenue of the Same Property Portfolio. Property management fees are assessed on the revenue stream of the properties managed by an affiliate of the Company.

Non Operating Expenses

Depreciation

Depreciation expense of the Same Property Portfolio increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The increased expense is related to the additions to the basis of fixed assets in the portfolio driven by substantial rehabilitation projects ongoing at the Yorktowne, Seasons of Laurel and Hannibal Grove properties and to a lesser degree, normal recurring capital spending activities over the remaining properties in the Same Property Portfolio.

Interest

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased significantly over the comparable period of 2006. The increase is attributable to the refinancing of mortgages on properties at an incrementally higher principal level than the related paid-off loan, with the majority of the additional debt obtained on the Seasons of Laurel property, which was partially offset by the reduced interest rate obtained on the new debt and new second mortgage debt on seven other properties that was not in place in the comparative period of 2006. Additionally, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, supplemental debt in the form of two second mortgages were obtained and contributed to the increased interest expense.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships

Amortization of acquired in-place-leases and tenant relationships decreased significantly in the nine-months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the same nine-month period of 2006. The decrease is related mainly to the completion of amortization of the acquired-in-place lease intangible assets booked at acquisition and amortized over a 12 month period which did not extend into the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2007 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006. (Total Property Portfolio)

In general, increases in revenues, operating expenses, non-operating expenses and the related losses of the Total Property Portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2006 are due mainly to the fluctuations in the number of properties owned by the Company in the comparative periods presented and to the increase in the level of mortgage and revolving credit debt outstanding during the comparative periods.

The Company’s “Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets” as of September 30, 2007 is presented in the following table. Fair value of real estate assets is based on management’s best estimate of fair value for properties purchased in prior years or purchase price for properties acquired within the current year. As with any estimate, management’s estimate of the fair value of properties purchased in prior years represents only its good faith opinion as to that value, and there can be no assurance that the actual value that might, in fact, be realized for any such property would approximate that fair value. The following information is presented in lieu of information regarding the Company’s “Debt-to-Total Market Capitalization Ratio”, which is a commonly used measure in our industry, because the Company’s market capitalization is not readily determinable since there was no public market for its common equity during the periods presented in this report.

The Board has established investment guidelines under which management may not incur indebtedness such that at the time we incur the indebtedness our ratio of debt to total assets exceeds 75%. This measure is calculated based on the fair value of the assets determined by management as described above.

The information regarding “Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets” is presented to allow investors to calculate our loan-to-value ratios in a manner consistent with those used by management and others in our industry, including those used by our current and potential lenders. Management uses this information when making decisions about financing or refinancing properties. Management also uses fair value information when making decisions about selling assets as well as evaluating acquisition opportunities within markets where we have assets.

Fair value of real estate assets is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net book value of real estate assets, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The net book value of our real estate assets was $466,127,312 at September 30, 2007 and $445,597,599 at December 31, 2006 and is presented on the balance sheet as multifamily apartment communities, net of accumulated depreciation. The following table reconciles the fair value of our real estate assets to the net book value of real estate assets as of September 30, 2007.

Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets as of

	September 30, 2007			December 31, 2006

Total Debt Outstanding	$	508,130,472		$	469,378,510

Debt-to-Fair Value of Real Estate Assets		64.93	%		60.59	%

The debt-to-fair value of real estate assets includes the outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which was $0 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The revolving credit facility contains covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including an indebtedness to value ratio not to exceed 75%. If the Company were to be in violation of this covenant, we would be unable to draw advances from our line, which could have a material impact on our ability to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Further, if we were unable to draw on the line, we may have to slow or temporarily stop our rehabilitation projects, which could have a negative impact on our results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company was in compliance with the covenants of the revolving credit facility. Fair value of the real estate assets is based on the management most current valuation of properties, which was made for all properties owned at December 31, 2006, and acquisition cost of properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2006.

Funds From Operations

The Company has adopted the revised definition of Funds from Operations (“FFO”) adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). Management considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. We calculate FFO by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP, including non-recurring items), for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and ventures. Management believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the historical operating results of the Company, FFO should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein. Management considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing the comparative operating and financial performance of the Company because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.

The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be directly comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or similar real estate companies that have not adopted the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO is not a GAAP financial measure and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure of our performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006:

	Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30,

Funds from Operations	$	2,259,707		$	258,939		$	4,235,769		$	3,666,167

FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased as compared to FFO for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006. The increases are due mainly to improved operating results of the properties in the portfolio, net of depreciation and amortization, which were slightly offset by the increased interest expense related to higher levels of debt, specifically at the Seasons of Laurel property, in the comparative nine-month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006.

Environmental Issues

There are no recorded amounts resulting from environmental liabilities because there are no known contingencies with respect to environmental liabilities. The Company obtains environmental audits through various sources, including lender evaluations and acquisition due diligence, for each of its properties at various intervals throughout a property’s useful life. The Company has not been advised by any third party as to the existence of, nor has it identified on its own, any material liability for site restoration or other costs that may be incurred with respect to any of its properties.

Inflation and Economic Conditions

Substantially all of the leases at the Company’s properties are for a term of one year or less, which enables the Company to seek increased rents for new leases or upon renewal of existing leases. These short-term leases minimize the potential adverse effect of inflation on rental income, although residents may leave without penalty at the end of their lease terms and may do so if rents are increased significantly. Certain properties are subject to regulations that require lease periods of two years, which management deems as having minimal effect on the overall inflation risk to the Company.

The Company believes the multifamily sector will benefit from the ongoing economic recovery and favorable current demographic trends. While the apartment sector has experienced slower growth over the past four years due to rising unemployment and a significant renter migration to single family homes, a reversal of both trends is now expected to spur an apartment recovery. The economic recovery is generating increased job growth, which typically translates into household formation and rising apartment occupancy. The Company feels, for single family homebuyers over the next several years, increasing housing costs and potentially higher interest rates may make purchases increasingly expensive and out of reach. In addition, we believe the projected demographic trends strongly favor the multifamily sector, driven primarily by the initial wave of echo boomers (age 28 to 29), the fastest growing segment of the population, and an increasing number of immigrants who are typically renters by necessity.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company’s mortgage notes are fixed rate instruments; therefore, the Company’s outstanding mortgage debt is not sensitive to changes in the capital market except upon maturity. The Company’s revolving credit facility is a variable rate arrangement tied to LIBOR and is therefore sensitive to changes in the capital market. The table below provides information about the Company’s financial instruments, specifically debt obligations.

The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates for the mortgage notes payable as of September 30, 2007.

	2007			2008			2009			2010			2011			Thereafter			Total

Fixed Rate Debt	$	1,097,037		$	12,821,362		$	20,257,150		$	4,779,543		$	5,088,624		$	464,086,756		$	508,130,472
Average Interest Rate		5.17	%		5.63	%		5.24	%		5.15	%		5.16	%		5.48	%		5.53	%
Variable Rate Debt	$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-		$	-
Average Interest Rate		-			-			-			-			-			-			-

The level of market interest rate risk remained relatively consistent from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2007.

As of September 30, 2007, $0 of the Company’s outstanding debt is outstanding subject to variable interest rates. The Company estimates that the effect of a 1% increase or decrease in interest rates would not have a material impact on interest expense.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Based on its evaluation, required by the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective as of September 30, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and were effective as of September 30, 2007 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.		LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
		The Company is currently party to a legal proceeding initiated by a seller/developer from whom the Company acquired a property in 2005. The dispute involves the interpretation of certain provisions of the purchase and sales agreement related to post acquisition construction activities. Specifically, the purchase and sales agreement provided that if certain conditions were met, the seller/developer would develop a vacant parcel of land contiguous to the acquired property with 18 new residential apartment units (the “New Units”) for the benefit of the Company at an agreed upon price. The purchase and sales agreement also provided the opportunity for the seller/developer to build a limited number of garages (the “Garages”) for the existing apartment units, for the benefit of the Company at an agreed upon price. In 2006, the Company accured $190,000 with respect to this matter based on a settlement offer extended to the plantiff. On November 9, 2007, the judge issued a summary judgment with respect to the construction of the New Units. The judgment was against the Company, but did not specify damages, which the plaintiff will be required to demonstrate at trial. The Company believes that there are reasonable grounds for appeal of this ruling and intends to vigorously defend against this claim. No ruling has been made with respect to the claim on the Garages and the Company also intends to vigorously defend against this claim. As of September 30, 2007, the Company believes it is probable that it will incur $190,000 in losses with respect to the New Units and as of September 30, 2007, the Company has accrued $190,000 with respect to this matter. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that additional losses of up to $800,000 could be incurred, but the actual amount is not estimable at September 30, 2007, and therefore the Company has not recorded any amounts for these losses. The Company and our properties are not subject to any other material pending legal proceedings and we are not aware of any such proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

Item 1A.		RISK FACTORS
