At September 30, 2018, we own or have interests in 39 multi-family properties located in 11 states with an aggregate of 11,147 units, including properties and units owned by unconsolidated joint ventures or under development. Most of our properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas. BRT’s shares of common stock trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BRT.” As of September 30, 2018, there were 15,754,270 shares outstanding and 848 holders of record. TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS In fiscal 2018, we continued to execute on our strategy of acquiring multi-family properties that generate sustainable growth. We selectively identified and invested in long-term growth-generating assets, while trimming assets whose growth trajectory has run its course. Our investments in 2018 were targeted solely toward value-add opportunities where we can upgrade apartment interiors, exteriors and common ameni- ties in order to increase rental income. Acquiring these properties allows us to generate incremental rental income as they are re-positioned, which in turn increases the value of such properties. Last year, BRT acquired six multi-family properties with 1,921 development, to 39 communities and 11,147 units. The six units for an aggregate purchase price of $230 million and properties we acquired are predominantly in markets where sold three multi-family properties with 1,368 units for an aggregate sales price of $171 million.

Business. General PART I We are an internally managed real estate investment trust, also known as a REIT, that is primarily focused on the ownership, operation and development of multi-family properties. Generally, these properties are owned by consolidated joint ventures in which we contributed 65% to 80% of the equity.

Most of our properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas.

Our Acquisition Process and Underwriting Criteria We identify multi-family property acquisition opportunities primarily through relationships developed over time by our officers with former borrowers, current joint venture partners, real estate investors and brokers. We are interested in acquiring the following types of multi-family properties: • • • • Class B or better properties with strong and stable cash flows in markets where we believe there exists opportunity for rental growth and further value creation; Class B or better properties that offer significant potential for capital appreciation through repositioning or rehabilitating the asset to drive rental growth; properties available at opportunistic prices providing an opportunity for a significant appreciation in value; and development of Class A properties in markets where we believe we can generate significant returns from the operation and if appropriate, sale of the development. Our current business plan is to acquire properties with cap rates ranging from 5% to 6.25% that will provide stable risk adjusted total returns (i.e., operating income plus capital appreciation). In identifying opportunities that will achieve these goals, we seek acquisitions that will achieve an initial approximate 7% to 8% annual return on invested cash and an internal rate of return of approximately 10% to 16%. We have also focused, but have not limited ourselves to, acquiring properties located in the Southeast United States and Texas. Subject to the foregoing, we are opportunistic in pursuing multi-family property acquisitions and do not mandate any specific acquisition criteria, though we take the following into account in evaluating an acquisition opportunity: location, demographics, size of the target market, property quality, availability and terms and conditions of long-term fixed-rate mortgage debt, potential for capital appreciation or recurring income, extent and nature of contemplated capital improvements and property age. We generally acquire properties with a joint venture partner with knowledge and experience in owning and operating multi-family properties in the target market as this enhances our understanding of such market and assists us in managing our risk with respect to a particular acquisition. Approvals of the acquisition of a multi-family property are based on a review of property information as well as other due diligence activities undertaken by us and, as applicable, our venture partner. Those activities include a consideration of economic, demographic and other factors with respect to the target market and sub-market (including the stability of its population and the potential for population growth, the economic and employment base, presence of and barriers to entry of 6 alternative housing stock, rental rates for comparable properties, the competitive positioning of the proposed acquisition and the regulatory environment (i.e. applicable rent regulation)), a review of an independent third-party property condition report, a Phase I environmental report with respect to the property, a review of recent and projected results of operations for the property prepared by the seller, us or our joint venture partner, an assessment of our joint venture partner's knowledge and expertise with respect to the acquisition and operation of multi-family properties and the relevant market and sub-market, a site visit to the property and the surrounding area, an inspection of a sample of units at the property, the potential for rent increases and the possibility of enhancing the property and the costs thereof. To the extent a property to be acquired requires renovations or improvements, or if we and our joint venture partner believe that improving a property will generate greater rent, funds are generally set aside by us and our joint venture partner at the time of acquisition to provide the capital needed for such renovation and improvements. At September 30, 2018, an aggregate of $6.7 million has been allocated to fund improvements at 17 multi-family properties. A key consideration in our acquisition process is the availability of mortgage debt to finance the acquisition (or the ability to assume the mortgage debt on the property) and the terms and conditions (e.g., interest rate, amortization and maturity) of such debt. Currently, approximately 30% to 40% of the purchase price is paid in cash and the balance is financed with mortgage debt. We believe that the use of leverage of up to 70% allows us the ability to earn a greater return on our investment than we would otherwise earn. Generally, the mortgage debt obtained in connection with an acquisition matures five to ten years thereafter, is interest only for one to five years after the acquisition, and provides for a fixed interest rate and for the amortization of the principal of such debt over 30 years. Potential acquisitions are reviewed and approved by our investment committee. Approval requires the assent of not less than five of the eight members of this committee, all of whom are our executive officers. Board of director approval is required for any single multi-family property acquisition in which our equity investment exceeds $20 million. We are partners in two multi-family development opportunities, including an unconsolidated joint venture, with the same joint venture partner or its affiliates. We pursue these opportunities when we believe the potential higher returns justify the additional risks. The factors considered in pursuing these opportunities generally include the factors considered in evaluating a standard acquisition opportunity, and we place additional emphasis on our joint venture partner's ability to execute a development project. Though we may from time-to-time pursue other development activities, we do not anticipate development properties will constitute a significant part of our portfolio.

As a result, these properties are wholly-owned by us. Property Sales We monitor our portfolio to identify properties that should be sold. Factors considered in deciding whether to sell a property generally include our evaluation of the current market price of such property compared to its projected economics and changes in the factors considered by us in acquiring such property. We also believe it is important for us to maintain strong relationships with our joint venture partners. Accordingly, we also take into account our partners' desires with respect to property sales. If our partners deem it in their own economic interest to dispose of a property at an earlier date than we would otherwise dispose of a property, we may accommodate such request. Set forth below is information regarding the properties we sold during 2018 (dollars in thousands): Location Melbourne, FL New York, NY (1) Valley, AL Palm Beach Gardens, FL New York, NY (1) ________________________ (1) Reflects the sale of a cooperative apartment unit.

Generally, these arrangements provide for us and our partner to receive net cash flow available for distribution and/ or profits in the following order of priority (in certain cases, we are entitled to these distributions on a senior or preferential basis): (i) a preferred return of 9% to 10% on each party's unreturned capital contributions, until such preferred return has been paid in full; and (ii) the return in full of each party's capital contribution. Thereafter, distributions to, and profit sharing between, joint venture partners, is determined pursuant to the applicable agreement governing the relationship between the parties and may not be pro rata to the equity ownership percentage each joint venture partner has in the applicable joint venture. Though, as noted above, each joint venture operating agreement contains different terms, such agreements generally provide for a buy-sell procedure under specified circumstances, including, (i) if the partners are unable to agree on major decisions or (ii) upon a change in control of our subsidiary owning the interest in the joint venture. Further, these arrangements may also allow us, and in some cases, our joint venture partner, to force the sale of the property after it has been owned by the joint venture for a specified period (e.g., four to five years after the acquisition). 8 Property Management The day-to-day management of our multi-family properties is overseen by property management companies operating in the market in which the property is located. Many of these management companies are owned by our joint venture partners or their affiliates. These property management companies are paid fees ranging from 3% to 4% of revenues generated by the applicable property. Generally, we can terminate these management companies upon specified notice or for cause, subject to the approval of the mortgage lender and, in some cases, our joint venture partner. We believe satisfactory replacements for property managers are available, if required. Mortgage Debt The following table sets forth scheduled principal (including amortization) mortgage payments due for all our properties as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands): YEAR 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Thereafter Total ____________________ (1) Principal Payments $34,819 62,621 22,622 59,496 92,478 526,769 $798,805 (1) Includes $30,265 related to the mortgage on Factory at Garco Park. This property was sold in November 2018. As of September 30, 2018, the weighted average annual interest rate of the mortgage debt on our 36 multi-family properties is 4.18% and the weighted average remaining term to maturity of such debt is approximately 6.9 years. The mortgage debt associated with our multi-family properties is generally non-recourse to (i) the joint venture that owns the property, subject to standard carve-outs and (ii) to us and our subsidiary acquiring the equity interest in such joint venture. We, at the parent entity level (i.e., BRT Apartments Corp.), are the standard carve-out guarantor with respect to the Avalon, Silvana Oaks,Woodland Trails, Stonecrossing, Stonecrossing East, Kilburn Crossing and Avondale properties. (The term "standard carve-outs" refers to recourse items to an otherwise non-recourse mortgage and are customary to mortgage financing. While carve-outs vary from lender to lender and transaction to transaction, the carve-outs may include, among other things, a voluntary bankruptcy filing, environmental liabilities, the sale, financing or encumbrance of the property in violation of loan documents, damage to property as a result of intentional misconduct or gross negligence, failure to pay valid taxes and other claims which could create a lien on a property and the conversion of security deposits, insurance proceeds or condemnation awards). At September 30, 2018, the principal amount of mortgage debt outstanding with respect to the properties at which we are the carve-out guarantor is approximately $113.7 million. Insurance The multi-family properties are covered by all risk property insurance covering 100% of the replacement cost for each building and business interruption and rental loss insurance (covering up to twelve months of loss). On a case-by-case basis, based on an assessment of the likelihood of the risk, availability of insurance, cost of insurance and in accordance with standard market practice, we obtain earthquake, windstorm, flood, terrorism and boiler and machinery insurance. We carry comprehensive liability insurance and umbrella policies for each of our properties which provide no less than $5 million of coverage per incident. We request certain extension of coverage, valuation clauses, and deductibles in accordance with standard market practice and availability. Although we may carry insurance for potential losses associated with our multi-family properties, we may still incur losses due to uninsured risks, deductibles, co-payments or losses in excess of applicable insurance coverage and those losses may be material. In addition, a substantial amount of our insurance coverage is provided through blanket policies obtained by our joint venture partners or the property managers for such property. A consequence of obtaining insurance coverage in this manner is that losses on properties in which we have no ownership interest could reduce significantly or eliminate the coverage available on one or more properties in which we have an interest. 9 Changes in our Multi-Family Portfolio Set forth below is a summary of our multi-family property acquisition activities from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2018: Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 (1) 2018 Total Number of Multi-Family Properties Acquired Number of Units Acquired (2) 5 9 13 4 11 7 6 55 1,451 2,334 4,174 1,506 3,336 1,728 1,921 16,450 ____________________ (1) Includes the purchase of land in West Nashville, TN on which we are developing a 402-unit multi-family complex. (2) Includes units under development. Set forth below is a summary of our multi-family property dispositions from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2018. There were no sales prior to 2015: Year 2015 2016 2017 2018 Total Number of Multi-Family Properties Sold Number of Units Sold 3 6 7 3 19 1,175 2,206 1,580 1,368 6,329 Our Other Real Estate Assets and Activities In addition to our multi-family properties, we own other real estate assets with an aggregate carrying value of $15.3 million at September 30, 2018, including a $4.9 million loan receivable, undeveloped land, cooperative apartment units and a leasehold position at a commercial property. See notes 3, 6 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements. Corporate Level Financing Arrangement As of September 30, 2018, $37.4 million (excluding deferred costs of $362,000) in principal amount of our junior subordinated notes is outstanding. These notes mature in April 2036, contain limited covenants (including covenants prohibiting us from paying dividends or repurchasing capital stock if there is an event of default (as defined therein) on these notes), are redeemable at our option, and from August 1, 2012 through April 30, 2016 bore an interest rate of 4.9%. From May 1, 2016 through maturity, these notes bear an interest rate, which resets and is payable quarterly, of three-month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the interest rate on these notes is 4.34% and 3.31%, respectively. Competition We compete to acquire real estate assets and in particular, multi-family properties, with other owners and operators of such properties including other multi-family REITs, pension and investment funds, real estate developers and private real estate investors. Competition to acquire such properties is based on price and ability to secure financing on a timely basis and complete an acquisition. To the extent that a potential joint venture partner introduces us to a multi-family acquisition opportunity, we compete with other sources of equity capital to participate in such joint venture based on the financial returns we are willing to offer such potential partner and the other terms and conditions of the joint venture arrangement. We also compete for tenants at our multi-family properties—such competition depends upon various factors, including alternative 10 housing options available in the applicable sub-market, rent, amenities provided and proximity to employment and quality of life venues. Many of our competitors possess greater financial and other resources than we possess. Environmental Regulation We are subject to regulation at the federal, state and municipal levels and are exposed to potential liability should our properties or actions result in damage to the environment or to other persons or properties. These conditions include the presence or growth of mold, potential leakage of underground storage tanks, breakage or leaks from sewer lines and risks pertaining to waste handling. The potential costs of compliance, property damage restoration and other costs for which we could be liable or which could occur without regard to our fault or knowledge, are unknown and could potentially be material. In the course of acquiring and owning multi-family properties, an independent environmental consulting firm is engaged to perform a level 1 environmental assessment (and if appropriate, a level 2 assessment) as part of the due diligence process. We believe these assessment reports provide a reasonable basis for discovery of potential hazardous conditions prior to acquisition. Should any potential environmental risks or conditions be discovered during our due diligence process, the potential costs of remediation will be assessed carefully and factored into the cost of acquisition, assuming the identified risks and factors are deemed to be manageable and within reason. Some risks or conditions may be identified that are significant enough to cause us to abandon the possibility of acquiring a given property. As of the date of this report, we have no knowledge of any material claims made or pending against us with regard to environmental damage for which we may be found liable, nor are we aware of any potential hazards to the environment related to any of our properties which could reasonably be expected to result in a material loss. Our Structure We share facilities, personnel and other resources with several affiliated entities including, among others, Gould Investors L.P., a master limited partnership involved primarily in the ownership and operation of a diversified portfolio of real estate assets, and One Liberty Properties, Inc., a NYSE listed equity REIT. Eight individuals (including Jeffrey A. Gould, Chief Executive Officer and President, Mitchell Gould, Executive Vice President and George Zweier, Chief Financial Officer), devote substantially all of their business time to our activities, while our other personnel (including several officers) share their services on a part-time basis with us and other affiliated entities that share our executive offices. (Including our full and part-time personnel, we estimate that we have the equivalent of 13 full time employees). The allocation of expenses for the shared facilities, personnel and other resources is computed in accordance with a shared services agreement by and among us and the affiliated entities. The allocation is based on the estimated time devoted by executive, administrative and clerical personnel to the affairs of each entity that is a party to this agreement. In addition, we retain several related parties to participate in, among other things, the analysis and approval of multi-family property acquisitions and dispositions, develop and maintain banking and financing relationships and provide us investment advice and long-term planning (the “Services”). The aggregate fees paid for the Services in 2018 and 2017 was $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Item 1A. Risk Factors. Set forth below is a discussion of certain risks affecting our business. Any adverse effects arising from the realization of any of the risks discussed, including our financial condition and results of operation, may, and likely will, adversely affect many aspects of our business. We face numerous risks associated with the real estate industry that could adversely affect our results of operations through decreased revenues or increased costs. As a real estate company, we are subject to various changes in real estate conditions, and any negative trends in such real estate conditions may adversely affect our results of operations through decreased revenues or increased costs. These conditions include: • changes in national, regional and local economic conditions, which may be negatively impacted by concerns about inflation, deflation, government deficits, unemployment rates and decreased consumer confidence particularly in markets in which we have a high concentration of properties; 11 • • • • • • • • • increases in interest rates, which could adversely affect our ability to obtain financing or to buy or sell properties on favorable terms or at all; the inability of tenants to pay rent; the existence and quality of the competition, such as the attractiveness of our properties as compared to our competitors' properties based on considerations such as convenience of location, rental rates, amenities and safety record; increased operating costs, including increased real property taxes, maintenance, insurance and utility costs (including increased prices for fossil fuels); weather conditions that may increase or decrease energy costs and other weather-related expenses; oversupply of apartments or single-family housing or a reduction in demand for real estate in the markets in which our properties are located; a favorable interest rate environment that may result in a significant number of potential residents of our multi- family properties deciding to purchase homes instead of renting; changes in, or increased costs of compliance with, laws and/or governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes; and rent control or stabilization laws, or other laws regulating rental housing, which could prevent us from raising rents to offset increases in operating costs. Moreover, other factors may adversely affect our results of operations, including potential liability under environmental and other laws and other unforeseen events, many of which are discussed elsewhere in the following risk factors. Any or all of these factors could materially adversely affect our results of operations through decreased revenues or increased costs. If interest rates increase or credit markets tighten, it may be more difficult for us to refinance our mortgage debt at favorable rates as it matures or to secure financing for acquisitions. The following table sets forth, as of September 30, 2018, scheduled principal (excluding amortization) mortgage payments due at maturity on the mortgages on the properties we own and the weighted average interest rate thereon (dollars in thousands): Year 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 thereafter Principal Payments Due at Maturity Weighted Average Interest Rate $ $ 29,000 55,744 (1) 14,001 50,729 83,921 489,057 722,452 4.68 % 3.74 % 4.29 % 4.63 % 3.95 % 4.17 % 4.16 % _______________________ (1) Includes $30,265 related to the mortgage on Factory at Garco Park. This property was sold in November 2018. Though interest rates have been at historically low levels the past several years, they have been increasing recently and may continue to increase. Increases in interest rates, or reduced access to credit markets due, among other things, to more stringent lending requirements or our high level of leverage, may make it difficult for us to refinance our mortgage debt as it matures or limit the availability of mortgage debt, thereby limiting our acquisition and/or refinancing activities. Even in the event that we are able to secure mortgage debt on, or otherwise refinance our mortgage debt, due to increased costs associated with securing financing and other factors beyond our control, we may be unable to refinance the entire mortgage debt as it matures or be subject to unfavorable terms (such as higher loan fees, interest rates and periodic payments) if we do refinance the mortgage debt. Either of these results could reduce operating cash flow and earnings, which may adversely affect the investment goals of our stockholders. 12 If we do not continue to pay cash dividends, the price of our common stock may decline. REIT's are generally required to distribute annually at least 90% of their ordinary taxable income to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, which we refer to as the Code. Because we continue to generate operating losses primarily due to the impact of depreciation, we are not currently required, and may not be required in the near future, to pay dividends to maintain our REIT status. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will pay dividends in the future. If we do not continue to pay cash dividends, the price of our common stock may decline. Most of our multi-family properties are located in a limited number of markets, which makes us susceptible to adverse developments in such markets. In addition to general, national and regional conditions, the operating performance of our multi-family residential properties is impacted by the economic conditions, including economic conditions of the specific markets in which our properties are concentrated. We anticipate that approximately 32%, 16%, 14% and 9% of our estimated 2019 revenues from multi-family properties will be generated by properties located in Texas, Georgia, Florida and Missouri, respectively. Accordingly, adverse developments in such markets, including economic developments or natural or man-made disasters, could adversely impact the operations of these properties and therefore our operating results and cash flow. The concentration of our properties in a limited number of markets exposes us to risks of adverse developments which are greater than the risks of owning properties with a more geographically diverse portfolio. Risks involved in conducting real estate activity through joint ventures. We have in the past and intend in the future to continue to acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when we believe that circumstances warrant the use of such structure. Joint venture investments involve risks not otherwise present when acquiring real estate directly, including the possibility that: • • • • • • • • • • • our joint venture partner might become bankrupt, insolvent or otherwise refuse or be unable to meet their obligations to us or the venture (including their obligation to make capital contributions or property distributions when due); we may incur liabilities as a result of action taken by our joint venture partner; our joint venture partner may not perform its property oversight responsibilities; our joint venture partner may have economic or business interests or goals which are or become inconsistent with our business interests or goals, including inconsistent goals relating to the sale or refinancing of properties held in the joint venture or the timing of the termination or liquidation of the joint venture; the more successful a joint venture project, the more likely that any profit generated above a negotiated threshold will be allocated disproportionately in favor of our joint venture partner; our joint venture partners obtain blanket property casualty and business interruption insurance insuring properties we own jointly and other properties in which we have no ownership interest and as as a result, claims or losses with respect to properties owned by our joint venture partners but in which we have no interest could significantly reduce or eliminate the insurance available to properties in which we have an interest; our joint venture partner may be in a position to take action or withhold consent contrary to our instructions or requests, including actions that may make it more difficult to maintain our qualification as a REIT; our joint venture partner might engage in unlawful or fraudulent conduct with respect to our jointly owned properties or other properties in which they have an ownership interest; our joint venture partner may trigger a buy-sell arrangement, which could cause us to sell our interest, or acquire our partner's interest, at a time when we otherwise would not have initiated such a transaction; disputes between us and our joint venture partners may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and divert management's attention from operating our business; disagreements with our joint venture partners with respect to property management (including with respect to whether a property should be sold, refinanced, or improved) could result in an impasse resulting in the inability to operate the property effectively; and 13 • our joint venture partners may have other competing real estate interests in the markets in which our properties are located that could influence the partners to take actions favoring their properties to the detriment of the jointly owned properties. We own 16 multi-family properties with a carrying value of $523.7 million with three joint venture partners or their affiliates and may be adversely effected if we are unable to maintain a satisfactory working relationship with any one or more of these joint venture partners. Joint ventures that own seven multi-family properties with a carrying value of $294.0 million are owned with one joint venture partner or its affiliates, joint ventures that own five multi-family properties with a carrying value of $125.2 million are owned with a second joint venture partner or its affiliates and joint ventures that own four multi-family properties with a carrying value of $104.5 million are owned with a third joint venture partner or its affiliates. This concentration of ownership of properties with a limited number of joint venture partners exposes us to risks of adverse developments which are greater than the risks of owning properties with a more diverse group of joint venture partners. The failure of third party property management companies to properly manage our properties or obtain sufficient insurance coverage could adversely impact our results of operations. We and our joint venture partners rely on third party property management companies to manage our properties. These management companies are responsible for, among other things, leasing and marketing rental units, selecting tenants (including an evaluation of the creditworthiness of tenants), collecting rent, paying operating expenses, maintaining the property and obtaining insurance coverage for the properties they manage. If these property management companies do not perform their duties properly or we or our joint venture partners do not effectively supervise the activities of these managers, the occupancy rates and rental rates at the properties managed by such property managers may decline and the expenses at such properties may increase. At September 30, 2018, one property manager and its affiliates manage nine properties, a second property manager and its affiliates manage seven properties and eight other property managers manage five or fewer properties. The loss of our property managers, and in particular, the managers that manage multiple properties, could result in a decrease in occupancy rates, rental rates or both or an increase in expenses. Further, property managers are also responsible for obtaining insurance coverage with respect to the properties they manage, which coverage is often obtained pursuant to blanket policies covering many properties in which we have no interest. Losses at properties managed by our property managers but in which we have no interest could reduce significantly the insurance coverage available at our properties managed by these property managers. Finally, some of the management companies are owned by our joint venture partners or their affiliates. The termination of a management company may require the approval of the mortgagee, our joint venture partner or both. If we are unable to terminate an underperforming property manager on a timely basis, our occupancy and rental rates may decrease and our expenses may increase. We may not be able to compete with competitors, many of which have greater financial and other resources than we possess. We compete with many third parties engaged in the ownership and operation of multi-family properties, including other REITs, specialty finance companies, public and private investors, investment and pension funds and other entities. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Larger and more established competitors enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, enhanced operating efficiencies and more extensive networks providing greater and more favorable access to capital, financing and tax credit allocations and more favorable acquisition opportunities. We may incur impairment charges in 2019. We evaluate on a quarterly basis our real estate portfolio for indicators of impairment. Impairment charges reflect management's judgment of the probability and severity of the decline in the value of real estate assets we own. These charges and provisions may be required in the future as a result of factors beyond our control, including, among other things, changes in the economic environment and market conditions affecting the value of real property assets or natural or man-made disasters. If we are required to take impairment charges, our results of operations will be adversely impacted. We may need to make significant capital improvements and incur deferred maintenance costs with respect to our multi- family properties and may not have sufficient funds for such purposes. Our multi-family properties face competition from newer, and updated properties. At September 30, 2018 the weighted average age (based on the number of units) of our multi-family properties is approximately 20 years. To remain competitive and increase occupancy at these properties and/or make them attractive to potential tenants or purchasers, we may have to make significant capital improvements and/or incur deferred maintenance costs with respect to these properties. At September 30, 2018, we have $6.7 million of restricted cash that can only be used for improvements at specific properties. The cost of future improvements and deferred maintenance is unknown and the amounts earmarked for specific properties may be insufficient to 14 effectuate needed improvements. Our results of operations and financial conditions may be adversely affected if we are required to expend significant funds (other than funds earmarked for such purposes) to repair or improve our properties. Our transactions with affiliated entities involve conflicts of interest. Entities affiliated with us and with certain of our executive officers provide services to us and on our behalf. These transactions raise the possibility that we may not receive terms as favorable as those that we would receive if the transactions were entered into with unaffiliated entities. Senior management and other key personnel are critical to our business and our future success may depend on our ability to retain them. We depend on the services of Jeffrey A. Gould, our president and chief executive officer, and other members of senior management to carry out our business and investment strategies. Although Jeffrey A. Gould devotes substantially all of his business time to our affairs, he devotes a limited amount of his business time to entities affiliated with us. In addition to Jeffrey A. Gould, only two other executive officers, Mitchell Gould, our executive vice president, and George Zweier, a vice president and our chief financial officer, devote all or substantially all of their business time to us. Many of our executives (i) provide Services (see Item 1 "Business-Our Structure") to us and/or (ii) share their services on a part-time basis with entities affiliated with us and located in the same executive offices pursuant to a shared services agreement. We rely on part-time executive officers to provide certain services to us, including legal and certain accounting services, since we do not employ full-time executive officers to handle these services. If the shared services agreement is terminated or the executives performing Services are unwilling to continue to do so, we will have to obtain such services from other sources or hire employees to perform them. We may not be able to replace these services or hire such employees in a timely manner or on terms, including cost and level of expertise, that are equivalent to or better than those we receive pursuant to the Services and the shared services agreement. In addition, in the future we may need to attract and retain qualified senior management and other key personnel, both on a full-time and part-time basis. The loss of the services of any of our senior management or other key personnel or our inability to recruit and retain qualified personnel in the future, could impair our ability to carry out our business and our investment strategies. We do not carry key man life insurance on members of our senior management. We could be negatively impacted by changes in our relationship with Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, changes in the condition of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and by changes in government support for multi-family housing. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been a major source of financing for multi-family real estate in the United States and we have used loan programs sponsored by these agencies to finance many of our acquisitions of multi-family properties. There has been ongoing discussion by the government with regard to the long term structure and viability of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which could result in adjustments to guidelines for their loan products. Should these agencies have their mandates changed or reduced, lose key personnel, be disbanded or reorganized by the government or otherwise discontinue providing liquidity for the multi-family sector, our ability to obtain financing through loan programs sponsored by the agencies could be negatively impacted. In addition, changes in our relationships with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the lenders that participate in these loan programs, with respect to our existing mortgage financing could impact our ability to obtain comparable financing for new acquisitions or refinancing for our existing multi-family real estate investments. Should our access to financing provided through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan programs be reduced or impaired, it would significantly reduce our access to debt capital and/or increase borrowing costs and could significantly limit our ability to acquire properties on acceptable terms and reduce the values to be realized upon property sales. Our acquisition, development and value-add activities are limited by the funds available to us. Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties, develop new properties and improve the properties in our portfolio is limited by the funds available to us and our ability to obtain, on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders. At September 30, 2018, we had approximately $27.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $6.7 million designated as restricted cash for improvements at 17 multi-family properties. Our multi-family acquisition and value-add activities are constrained by funds available to us which will limit growth in our revenues and operating results. Our revenues are significantly influenced by demand for multi-family properties generally, and a decrease in such demand will likely have a greater adverse effect on our revenues than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. Our current portfolio is focused predominately on multi-family properties, and we expect that going forward we will continue to focus predominately on the acquisition, disposition and operation of such properties. As a result, we are subject to 15 risks inherent in investments in a single industry, and a decrease in the demand for multi-family properties would likely have a greater adverse effect on our rental revenues than if we owned a more diversified real estate portfolio. Our value-add activities involve greater risks than more conservative investment strategies. In many cases, we seek to acquire properties at which we believe our investment of additional capital to enhance such properties will result in increased rental rates and higher resale value . These efforts involves greater risks than more conservative investment strategies. The risks related to these value-add activities include risks related to delays in the repositioning or improvement process, higher than expected capital improvement costs, the additional capital needed to execute our value-add program, and the possibility that these value-add activities may not result in the higher rents and occupancy rates anticipated. In addition, properties or units may not produce revenue while undergoing capital improvements. Furthermore, we may also be unable to complete the improvements of these properties and may be forced to hold or sell these properties at a loss. For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will realize growth in the value of our value-add multifamily properties, and as a result, our ability to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected. We are subject to certain limitations associated with selling multi-family properties, which could limit our operational and financial flexibility. Our ability to sell properties and the terms (including sales price and the timing of the sale) at which such properties may be sold may be limited by various factors and conditions, including factors and conditions over which we have limited or no control. These factors and conditions include: • • • • the agreement of our joint venture partner to sell a property; adverse market conditions, including the limited availability of mortgage debt required by a buyer to acquire a property or increased interest rates; the need to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold; and federal tax laws that may limit our ability to profit on the sale of properties that we have owned for less than two years. The foregoing factors and conditions may limit our ability to dispose of properties, which may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the market value of our securities. Increased competition and increased affordability of residential homes could limit our ability to retain our tenants or increase or maintain rents. Our multi-family properties compete with numerous housing alternatives, including other multi-family and single-family rental homes, as well as owner occupied single and multi-family homes. Our ability to retain tenants and increase or maintain rents or occupancy levels could be adversely affected by the alternative housing in a particular area and, due to declining housing prices, mortgage interest rates and government programs to promote home ownership, the increasing affordability of owner occupied single and multi-family homes. Development, redevelopment and construction risks could affect our operating results. We may continue to develop and redevelop multi-family properties. These activities may be exposed to the following risks: • • • • we may abandon opportunities that we have already begun to explore for a number of reasons, including changes in local market conditions or increases in construction or financing costs, and, as a result, we may fail to recover expenses already incurred in exploring those opportunities; occupancy rates and rents at development properties may fail to meet our original expectations for a number of reasons, including changes in market and economic conditions beyond our control and the development by competitors of competing properties; we may be unable to obtain, or experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, occupancy, or other required governmental or third party permits and authorizations, which could result in increased costs or the delay or abandonment of development opportunities; we may incur costs that exceed our original estimates due to increased material, labor or other costs; 16 • • • we may be unable to complete construction and lease-up of a development project on schedule, resulting in increased construction and financing costs and a decrease in expected rental revenues; we may be unable to obtain financing with favorable terms, or at all, for the proposed development of a property, which may cause us to delay or abandon a development opportunity; and we may be unable to refinance with favorable terms, or at all, any construction or other financing obtained for a development property, which may cause us to sell the property on less favorable terms or surrender the property to the lender. If we are unable to address effectively these and other risks associated with development projects, our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely effected. Compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our ability to maximize profits. We must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, our sources of income, the amounts we distribute to our stockholders and the ownership of our common stock, to qualify as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. We may also be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Accordingly, compliance with REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits. To qualify as a REIT, we must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified REIT real estate assets. The remainder of our investment in securities cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of such issuer. In addition, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer, other than a qualified REIT security. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we must dispose of the portion of our assets in excess of such amounts within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in order to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences. This requirement could cause us to dispose of assets for consideration of less than their true value and could lead to a material adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition. If we are required to make payments under any “bad boy” carve out guarantees that we have provided in connection with certain mortgages and related loans, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected. In obtaining certain non-recourse loans, we have provided our lenders with standard carve out guarantees. These guarantees are only applicable if and when the borrower directly, or indirectly through an agreement with an affiliate, joint venture partner or other third party, voluntarily files a bankruptcy or similar liquidation or reorganization action or takes other actions that are fraudulent or improper (commonly referred to as “bad boy” guarantees). Although we believe that “bad boy” carve out guarantees are not guarantees of payment in the event of foreclosure or other actions of the foreclosing lender that are beyond the borrower’s control, some lenders in the real estate industry have recently sought to make claims for payment under such guarantees. In the event such a claim were made against us under a “bad boy” carve out guarantee, following foreclosure on mortgages or related loans, and such claim were successful, our business and financial results could be materially adversely affected. Because real estate investments are illiquid, we may not be able to reconfigure our portfolio on a timely basis.. Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly. We may not be able to reconfigure our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions. Further, even if we are able to sell properties, we may be unable to reinvest the proceeds of such sales in opportunities that are as favorable as the properties sold. Our inability to reconfigure our portfolio to profitably reinvest the proceeds of property sales promptly could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. We depend on our subsidiaries for cash flow and will be adversely impacted if these subsidiaries are prohibited from distributing cash to us. We conduct, and intend to conduct, all our business operations through our subsidiaries. Accordingly, our only source of cash to fund our operations and pay our obligations are distributions from our subsidiaries. We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries will be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to us that will enable us to fund our operations. Each of our subsidiaries is or will be a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions, may limit our ability to obtain cash from such entities. In addition, because we operate through our subsidiaries, your claims as stockholders will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations of our subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event 17 of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our subsidiaries will be able to satisfy your claims as stockholders only after all our and our subsidiaries' liabilities and obligations have been paid in full. Liabilities relating to environmental matters may impact the value of our properties. We may be subject to environmental liabilities arising from the ownership of properties. Under various federal, state and local laws, an owner or operator of real property may become liable for the costs of removal of certain hazardous substances released on its property. These laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release of such hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances on our properties may adversely affect our ability to finance or sell the property and we may incur substantial remediation costs. The discovery of material environmental liabilities attached to such properties could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Our operating results and assets may be negatively affected if our insurance coverage is insufficient to compensate us for casualty events occurring at our properties. Our multi-family properties, including the properties owned by the joint ventures in which we are members, carry all risk property insurance covering the property and improvements thereto for the cost of replacement in the event of a casualty. Though we maintain insurance coverage, such coverage may be insufficient to compensate us for losses sustained as a result of a casualty because, among other things: • • • • • • the amount of insurance coverage maintained for any property may be insufficient to pay the full replacement cost following a casualty event; the rent loss coverage under a policy may not extend for the full period of time that a tenant or tenants may be entitled to a rent abatement that is a result of, or that may be required to complete restoration following, a casualty event; certain types of losses, such as those arising from earthquakes, floods, hurricanes and terrorist attacks, may be uninsurable or may not be economically feasible to insure; changes in zoning, building codes and ordinances, environmental considerations and other factors may make it impossible or impracticable, to use insurance proceeds to replace damaged or destroyed improvements at a property; insurance coverage is part of blanket insurance policies in which losses on properties in which we have no ownership interest could reduce significantly or eliminate the coverage available on our properties; and the deductibles applicable to one or more buildings at a property may be greater than the losses sustained at such buildings. If our insurance coverage is insufficient to cover losses sustained as a result of one or more casualty events, our operating results and the value of our portfolio will be adversely affected. Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws, including the enactment of certain proposed tax reform measures, could have an adverse impact on our business and financial results. At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing U.S. federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation, or interpretation may take effect retroactively. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in the U.S. federal income tax laws, regulations or administrative interpretations. Compliance or failure to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or other safety regulations and requirements could result in substantial costs. The Americans with Disabilities Act generally requires that public buildings, including our properties, be made accessible to disabled persons. Non-compliance could result in the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages to private litigants. From time-to-time claims may be asserted against us with respect to some of our properties under the Americans with Disabilities Act. If, under the Americans with Disabilities Act, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our properties, including the removal of access barriers, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. 18 Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local regulatory requirements, such as state and local fire and life safety requirements. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we could incur fines or private damage awards. We do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether compliance with future requirements will require significant unanticipated expenditures that will affect our cash flow and results of operations. Breaches of information technology systems could materially harm our business and reputation. We, our joint venture partners and the property managers managing our properties, collect and retain, through information technology systems, financial, personal and other sensitive information provided by third parties, including tenants, vendors and employees. Such persons also rely on information technology systems for the collection and distribution of funds. There can be no assurance that we, our joint venture partners or property managers will be able to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information or the unauthorized distribution of funds. Any loss of this information or unauthorized distribution of funds as a result of a breach of information technology systems may result in loss of funds to which we are entitled, legal liability and costs (including damages and penalties), as well as damage to our reputation, that could materially and adversely affect our business and financial performance. We could be adversely affected if we or any of our subsidiaries are required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended (the “1940 Act”). We conduct our operations so that neither we, nor any of our subsidiaries is required to register as investment companies under the 1940 Act. If we or any of our subsidiaries is required to register as an investment company but fail to do so, the unregistered entity would be prohibited from engaging in certain business, and criminal and civil actions could be brought against such entity. In addition, the contracts of such entity would be unenforceable unless a court required enforcement, and a court could appoint a receiver to take control of the entity and liquidate its business.

Funds from Operations; Adjusted Funds from Operations. In view of our multi-family property activities, we disclose funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") because we believe that such metrics are a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with the "White Paper on Funds From Operations" issued by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and NAREIT's related guidance. FFO is defined in the White Paper as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization, plus impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. In computing FFO, we do not add back to net income the amortization of costs in connection with our financing activities or depreciation of non-real estate assets. We compute AFFO by adjusting FFO for loss on extinguishment of debt, our straight-line rent accruals, restricted stock expense, restricted stock unit ("RSU") expense, gain on insurance recovery, and deferred mortgage and debt costs (including our share of our unconsolidated joint ventures). 21 Since the NAREIT White Paper does not provide guidelines for computing AFFO, the computation of AFFO may vary from one REIT to another. We believe that FFO and AFFO are useful and standard supplemental measures of the operating performance for equity REITs and are used frequently by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating equity REITs, many of which present FFO and AFFO when reporting their operating results. FFO and AFFO are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which assures that the value of real estate assets diminish predictability over time. In fact, real estate values have historically risen and fallen with market conditions. As a result, we believe that FFO and AFFO provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, should reflect the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing a perspective that may not be necessarily apparent from net income. We also consider FFO and AFFO to be useful to us in evaluating potential property acquisitions. FFO and AFFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. FFO and AFFO should not be considered to be an alternative to net income as a reliable measure of our operating performance; nor should FFO and AFFO be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities (as defined by GAAP) as measures of liquidity. FFO and AFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. Management recognizes that there are limitations in the use of FFO and AFFO. In evaluating our performance, management is careful to examine GAAP measures such as net income (loss) and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Management also reviews the reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and AFFO. The table below provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO and AFFO for each of the indicated years (amounts in thousands): Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ 23,773 $ 13,600 $ 31,289 $ (2,388) $ (9,454) 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 Add: depreciation of properties Add: our share of depreciation in unconsolidated joint ventures Add: amortization of deferred leasing costs 38,504 1,587 — 30,491 24,329 20,681 15,562 737 — 20 15 20 71 Deduct: gain on sales of real estate and partnership interests (64,924) (52,601) (62,330) (15,005) Adjustment for non-controlling interests Funds from operations Adjust for: straight-line rent accruals Add: loss on extinguishment of debt Add: amortization of restricted stock and RSU expense Add: amortization of deferred mortgage and debt costs Deduct: gain on insurance recovery Adjustment for non-controlling interests Adjusted funds from operations 20 62 — (4,012) 2,178 (542) — 805 1,825 — (424) 16,249 15,189 (40) 850 988 1,432 (4,498) 469 17,122 9,349 (56) 1,463 1,218 1,244 — 13,320 6,643 (200) 4,547 1,005 1,645 — (920) (2,729) 221 3,600 (411) — 906 2,242 — (703) $ 14,390 $ 12,298 $ 10,911 $ 5,634 $ 3,842 22 The table below provides a reconciliation of net income (loss) per common share (on a diluted basis) determined in accordance with GAAP to FFO and AFFO. 2018 2017 2016 2015 2014 Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders $ Add: depreciation of properties Add: our share of depreciation in unconsolidated joint ventures Add: amortization of deferred leasing costs $ 1.61 2.60 0.11 — $ 0.97 2.18 0.05 — 2.23 1.74 — — 1.46 — — $ (0.17) $ (0.66) Deduct: gain on sales of real estate and partnership interests (4.39) (3.75) (4.45) (1.07) 1.10 — — — (0.28) 0.16 (0.04) — 0.06 0.13 — 1.22 0.67 — 0.10 0.09 0.09 — 0.95 0.47 0.02 0.24 (0.01) (0.04) 0.32 0.07 0.12 — — 0.07 0.16 — (0.07) (0.19) (0.07) (0.03) $ 0.88 $ 0.78 $ 0.36 $ 0.28 Adjustment for non-controlling interests Funds from operations Adjustment for: straight-line rent accruals Add: loss on extinguishment of debt Add: amortization of restricted stock and RSU expense Add: amortization of deferred mortgage and debt costs Deduct: gain on insurance recovery Adjustment for non-controlling interests Adjusted funds from operations 1.10 1.03 — 0.06 0.05 0.10 (0.30) 0.03 0.97 $ 23 Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Overview We are a REIT that is focused primarily on the ownership, operation and development of multi-family properties. These properties derive revenue primarily from tenant rental payments. Generally, these properties are owned by consolidated joint ventures in which we contributed 65% to 80% of the equity, with the remaining equity contributed by our joint venture partner. At September 30, 2018, we: (i) own 36 multi-family properties located in eleven states with an aggregate of 10,121 units (including 402 units at a development property) and a carrying value of $1.0 billion; and (ii) have ownership interests, through unconsolidated entities, in three multi-family properties located in two states with an aggregate of 1,026 units (including 339 units at a development property), and a carrying value of $20.1 million. Most of our properties are located in the Southeast United States and Texas. As used herein, the term "same store properties" refers to operating properties that were owned for the entirety of the periods being presented and excludes properties that were in development or lease up during such periods. Retreat at Cinco Ranch-Katy, Texas, is excluded from same store properties due to the damage it sustained from Hurricane Harvey. For the comparison between 2018 and 2017, there are 21 same store properties and for the comparison between 2017 and 2016, there are 15 same store properties. Highlights of 2018 During 2018, we: • • • • • acquired six multi-family properties with 1,921 units, for a purchase price of $230.3 million, including mortgage debt of $164.3 million and $50 million of our equity - we refer to these six properties as the "2018 Acquisitions"; sold three multi-family properties with an aggregate of 1,368 units, which we refer to as the 2018 Sold Properties, and two cooperative apartment units, for a sales price of $171.4 million and a gain of $64.9 million - $27.6 million of this gain was allocated to our joint venture partners; entered into equity distribution agreements, as amended, with three placement agents-pursuant thereto, we raised approximately $20.4 million of equity from the sale of 1.59 million shares of our common stock; effected an 11% increase in our dividend rate and declared dividends of an aggregate of $0.78 per share; and bought out the interests of our joint venture partners in two multi-family properties for an aggregate of $5.2 million. Hurricane Harvey In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey caused significant damage to our 268-unit Retreat at Cinco Ranch - Katy, Texas property. As a result of insurance recoveries, in 2018 we recognized a $4.5 million gain on insurance recoveries and $1.1 million of rental income due to recoveries from business interruption insurance. As of September 30, 2018, this property was substantially repaired. Recent Developments On October 30, 2018, we acquired Crestmont at Thornblade, a 266-unit multi-family property located in Greensville, SC, for $37.8 million, including $26.4 million of mortgage debt obtained in connection with the acquisition. We contributed $12.9 million for our 90% equity interest. The mortgage debt bears an interest rate of 4.69% per year, is interest only until 2023, amortizes on a 30 year amortization schedule thereafter, and matures in 2028. Based on our underwriting, we estimate that on a quarterly basis, this property will generate $943,000 of rental revenue and will incur $438,000 of real estate operating expense, $316,000 of interest expense and $510,000 of depreciation expense. On November 7, 2018, we sold Factory at Garco Park, for a sales price of $51.7 million. We anticipate that during the quarter ending December 31, 2018, we will recognize a gain on the sale of the property of approximately $12.0 million, of which approximately $6.3 million will be allocated to the non-controlling partner. In 2018, this property accounted for $3.5 million of revenues, $1.7 million of operating expenses, $1.1 million of interest expense and $1.6 million of depreciation. We entered into a contract to sell Cedar Lakes-Lake St. Louis, Missouri, for a sales price of $41.3 million. We anticipate that such transaction will close in December 2018 and that if the transaction closes we will recognize, during the quarter ending December 31, 2018, a gain on the sale of the property of approximately $7.5 million, of which approximately $1.9 million will be allocated to the non-controlling partner. In 2018, this property accounted for $4.5 million of revenues, $2.3 24 million of operating expenses, $1.0 million of interest expense and $1.3 million of depreciation. We cannot provide any assurance that this transaction will be completed or if completed, we will recognize such gain. Years Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 Revenues The following table compares our revenues for the years indicated: (Dollars in thousands): Rental and other revenue from real estate properties Other income Total revenues 2018 2017 $ 118,872 763 $ 119,635 $ 104,477 1,294 $ 105,771 Increase (Decrease) 14,395 (531) 13,864 $ $ % Change 13.8 % (41.0)% 13.1 % Rental and other revenue from real estate properties. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • • $15.2 million from the operations of the 2018 Acquisitions; $11.6 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of six properties, excluding a development property, that were acquired in 2017 (the "2017 Acquisitions"); $2.7 million from Factory at Garco Park which was in lease up during the current year; and $2.5 million from the operations of same store properties –15 of 21 properties had increases in rental revenue ranging from 3% to 9.6%, with the average increase of 3.7% for all same store properties. Average rents at same store properties increased to $912 per occupied unit in 2018 from $889 per occupied unit in 2017. These increases were offset by the loss of rental and other revenue of $11.9 million from the sale of the 2018 Sold Properties. The results for 2017 include $5.6 million of rental revenue from seven multi-family properties sold in 2017 (the "2017 Sold Properties"). Other income. The decrease is due to reduced interest income on our loan to the Newark Joint Venture primarily as a result of the $13.6 million paydown in December 2016. See notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements. Expenses The following table compares our expenses for the periods indicated: (Dollars in thousands) Real estate operating expenses Interest expense General and administrative Depreciation Total expenses 2018 2017 Increase (Decrease) % Change $ 57,665 $ 51,279 $ 34,389 9,210 38,504 28,171 9,396 30,491 6,386 6,218 (186) 8,013 $ 139,768 $ 119,337 $ 20,431 12.5 % 22.1 % (2.0)% 26.3 % 17.1 % Real estate operating expenses. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • $7.0 million from the operations of the 2018 Acquisitions; $5.8 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of the 2017 Acquisitions; $1.0 million from Factory at Garco Park, which was in development and/or lease up in 2017; and 25 • $1.1 million from operations of the same store properties - eight of 21 properties of which had increases ranging from 3% to 23.4% in such expenses , with an average increase of 3.4% at all same store properties. The increases were primarily due to increases in utilities, real estate taxes and repairs and maintenance. The increase was offset by: • • A decline in operating expenses of $5.4 million from the sale of the 2018 Sold Properties; and A decline in operating expenses of $3.3 million from the 2017 Sold Properties. Interest expense. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • • $4.5 million from the mortgage debt incurred in the 2018 Acquisitions; $4.2 million due to the inclusion, for a full year, of the interest expense associated with the mortgage debt incurred in the 2017 Acquisitions; $729,000 from the cessation of the capitalization of interest from a development property in connection with the commencement of lease up activities at Factory at Garco Park; and $307,000 from our junior subordinated notes - the interest rate on these notes increased due to the increase in the three month LIBOR rate. The increase was offset by decreases of: • • $2.3 million from the sale of the 2018 Sold Properties; and $1.1 million from the sale of the 2017 Sold Properties. General and administrative expense. These costs decreased primarily due to the inclusion, in 2017, of approximately $321,000 of professional fees and other expenses associated with our conversion to a Maryland corporation and $296,000 of amortization expense relating to restricted stock units. This amortization expense was reversed in 2018 because we do not believe we will satisfy the applicable AFFO metric. This decrease was offset by a $233,000 increase in compensation costs due to higher compensation costs, a $108,000 increase in fees paid for the Services and a $103,000 increase in expenses allocated pursuant to the shared services agreement. Depreciation. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • $7.6 million from the operations of the 2018 Acquisitions; $5.1 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of the 2017 Acquisitions; and $930,000 from the operations of Factory at Garco Park, which was in lease up and/or development in 2017. The increase was offset by decreases in depreciation of: • • • $3.0 million from the sales of the 2018 Sold Properties; $2.0 million from same store properties due to adjustments, effected in 2017, with respect to purchase price allocations; and $584,000 from the sale of the 2017 Sold Properties. Other revenue and expense items Gain on sale of real estate. The results for 2018 reflect our sale of three multi-family properties and two cooperative apartment units for an aggregate sales price of $171.4 million; we recognized an aggregate gain of $64.9 million, of which $27.6 million was allocated to the non-controlling partners. The results for 2017 reflect the $52.6 million gain from the sale of 2017 Sold Properties, of which $24.8 million was allocated to non-controlling partners. Gain on insurance recovery. During 2018, we recognized a $4.5 million gain from the receipt of insurance proceeds related to Retreat at Cinco Ranch - Katy, Texas, representing the proceeds received in excess of the assets written off. 26 Loss on extinguishment of debt. During 2018, we incurred $850,000 of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of The Fountain Apartments and Waverly Place Apartments. In 2017, we incurred $1.5 million of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of four properties. Provision for taxes. The decrease is primarily due to the inclusion, in 2017, of (i) $1.2 million of state taxes due to the unavailability of loss carryforwards at the state level and (ii) the federal alternative minimum tax we were required to pay as a result of the use of our loss carryforwards. The loss carryforwards were used to offset federal and state taxable income, as applicable. Years Ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 Revenues The following table compares our revenues for the years indicated: (Dollars in thousands): 2017 2016 Rental and other revenue from real estate properties $ 104,477 $ 95,202 Increase (Decrease) 9,275 $ % Change 9.7 % Other income Total revenues 1,294 3,319 (2,025) (61.0)% $ 105,771 $ 98,521 $ 7,250 7.4 % • • • Rental and other revenue from real estate properties. The components of the increase are as follows: $21.9 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of ten properties that were acquired in 2016 (the "2016 Acquisitions"); $8.7 million from operations of the 2017 Acquisitions; and $2.1 million due primarily to rental rate increases from the operations of same store properties. Two properties, The Fountains Apartments and The Apartments at Venue, accounted for 50% of the increase at same store properties. Average rents at same store properties increased to $918 per occupied unit in 2017 from $888 per occupied unit in 2016. These increases were offset by the loss of rental and other revenue of $10.7 million from the sale of the 2017 Sold Properties. The results for 2016 include $13.6 million of rental revenue from six multi-family properties sold in 2016 (the "2016 Sold Properties"). Other income. The decrease is due to the inclusion in 2016 of $2.5 million of deferred interest on the loan to the Newark Joint Venture that had not been recognized for several years prior thereto due to recoverability concerns. See notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements. Expenses The following table compares our expenses for the periods indicated: (Dollars in thousands) Real estate operating expenses Interest expense Advisor's fees, related party Property acquisition costs General and administrative Depreciation Total expenses 2017 2016 Increase (Decrease) % Change $ 51,279 $ 47,519 $ 28,171 23,878 — — 9,396 30,491 693 3,852 8,536 23,180 3,760 4,293 7.9 % 18.0 % (693) (100.0)% (3,852) (100.0)% 860 7,311 10.1 % 31.5 % 10.8 % $ 119,337 $ 107,658 $ 11,679 27 Real estate operating expenses. The components of the increase are as follows: $11.1 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of the 2016 Acquisitions; $3.6 million from the operations of the 2017 Acquisitions; $1.2 million from operations of the same store properties due to an increase (i) of approximately $701,000 from real estate taxes at five properties primarily as a result of real property tax reassessments and (ii) in repair and maintenance expense at several properties; and $606,000 from the operations of a property engaged in lease up activities. • • • • The increase was offset by: • • A decline in operating expenses of $5.0 million from the sale of the 2017 Sold Properties; and A decline in operating expenses of $8.0 million from the sale of the 2016 Sold Properties. Interest expense. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • $6.1 million due to the inclusion, for a full year, of the interest expense associated with the mortgage debt incurred in the 2016 Acquisitions; $3.3 million from the mortgage debt incurred in the 2017 Acquisitions; and $358,000 from the mortgage debt incurred in the 2017 Acquisitions. The increase was offset by decreases of: • • • $2.1 million from the sale of the 2017 Sold Properties; $3.0 million from the sale of the 2016 Sold Properties; and $422,000 on our junior subordinated notes due to the reduction in the interest rate thereon. From August 1, 2012 through April 29, 2016, these notes carried an interest rate of 4.9% and commencing May 1, 2016, these notes bear an interest rate of three months LIBOR and 200 basis points. At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the interest rate on these notes was 3.31% and 2.76%, respectively. Advisor's fee, related party. The decrease is due to the termination of the advisory agreement effective December 31, 2015. See note 13 of our consolidated financial statements. Property acquisition costs. Due to a change in an accounting standard effective October 1, 2016, these costs are generally capitalized as part of the basis of an asset acquisition. During 2017, we capitalized $3.1 million of such costs. General and administrative expense. These costs increased primarily as a result of a $331,000 increase in fees paid in connection with the Services, a $237,000 increase in compensation paid to our employees, including $125,000 increase in compensation paid to our chief executive officer, and a $213,000 increase primarily related to amortization of restricted stock units granted in 2016. In 2017 and 2016, general and administrative expense is allocated between our two segments in proportion to the estimated time spent by our full time personnel on such segments. Depreciation. The components of the increase are as follows: • • • $4.3 million from the operations of the 2017 Acquisitions; $8.2 million from the inclusion, for a full year, of the operations of the 2016 Acquisitions; and $728,000 from the operations of a property in connection with the commencement of lease up activities. The increase was offset by decreases in depreciation of: • $2.8 million from the sales of the 2017 Sold Properties; and • $2.4 million from the sale of the 2016 Sold Properties. 28 Other revenue and expense items Gain on sale of unconsolidated joint ventures. The results for 2017 reflects a $384,000 loss associated with investments in two unconsolidated joint ventures, including the loss of $293,000 attributable to depreciation expense associated with our ownership interest in Canalside Lofts. Gain on sale of real estate. The results for 2017 reflect the $52.6 million gain from the sale of 2017 Sold Properties, of which $24.8 million was allocated to non-controlling interests. The results for 2016 reflect the $46.5 million gain from the sale of 2016 Sold Properties and two cooperative apartments, of which $18.8 million was allocated to non-continuing interests. Gain on sale of partnership interest. In 2016, we sold our interest in a joint venture that owned Village Green, Little Rock, AK multi-family property and recognized a $386,000 gain on the sale. There was no corresponding gain in 2017. Loss on extinguishment of debt. In 2017, we incurred $1.5 million of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of four properties. In 2016 we incurred $4.5 million of mortgage prepayment charges in connection with the sale of two properties. Provision for taxes. For 2017 and 2016, these amounts reflect the federal alternative minimum tax we are required to pay as a result of the use of our loss carryforwards to offset taxable income; 2017 also includes the payment of $1.2 million of state taxes due to the unavailability of loss carryforwards at the state level. Discontinued operations In 2016, we sold our interest in the Newark Joint Venture and reclassified the operations of the venture to discontinued operations for all comparative periods. The $12.7 million of income from discontinued operations reflects the $15.5 million gain on the sale of our interest in the venture, net of the venture's operating losses of $2.8 million incurred during 2016. Disclosure of Contractual Obligations The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2018 our known contractual obligations (dollars in thousands): (Dollars in thousands) Payment Due by Period Less than 1 Year 1 - 3 Years 3 - 5 Years More than 5 Years Total Long-Term Debt Obligations (1) $ 68,902 $ 146,523 $ 204,767 $ 661,190 $1,081,382 Operating Lease Obligation Purchase Obligations (2)(3) Total _________________________ 216 6,182 447 158 12,364 12,364 58 — 879 30,910 $ 75,300 $ 159,334 $ 217,289 $ 661,248 $1,113,171 (1) Reflects payments of principal (including amortization payments) and interest and excludes deferred costs. Also includes $30.3 million in "1-3 Years" relating to Factory at Garco Park which was sold subsequent to September 30, 2018. Assumes that the interest rate on the junior subordinated notes will be 4.34% per annum. (2) Assumes that $823,000 will be paid annually for the next five years pursuant to the shared services agreement (i.e., the same amount paid in 2018 pursuant to this agreement) and $1.3 will be paid annually through September 30, 2022, for the Services. See "Item 1. Business—Our Structure." (3) Assumes that approximately $4.1 million of property management fees will be paid annually to the managers of our multi-family properties Such sum reflects the amount we anticipate paying in 2019 on the multi-family properties we own at September 30, 2018. These fees are typically charges based on a percentage of rental revenues from a property. No amount has been reflected as payable pursuant thereto after five years as such amount is not determinable. 29 The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2018 information regarding the components of our long-term debt obligations: (Dollars in thousands) Payment due by Period Less than 1 Year 1 - 3 Years 3 - 5 Years More than 5 Years Total Mortgages on multi-family properties (1) $ 67,086 $142,891 $ 200,565 $ 604,989 $ 1,015,531 Junior subordinated notes (2) Other Total ___________________________ 1,623 193 3,246 386 3,246 956 56,201 — 64,316 1,535 $ 68,902 $146,523 $ 204,767 $ 661,190 $ 1,081,382 (1) Includes payments of principal (including amortization payments) and interest and excludes deferred costs. Also includes $30.3 million in "1-3 Years", relating to Factory at Garco Park which was sold subsequent to September 30, 2018. (2) Assumes that the interest rate on the junior subordinated notes will be 4.34% per annum Liquidity and Capital Resources We require funds to pay operating expenses and debt service obligations, acquire properties, make capital improvements and pay dividends. In 2018, our primary sources of capital and liquidity were the operations of our multi-family properties (including distributions from the joint ventures that own such properties), mortgage debt financings (an aggregate of $183.6 million, of which $164.3 million was used to acquire six multi-family properties and the balance was used to fund our West Nashville, TN development property), $44.9 million in equity contributions from our joint venture partners for acquisitions, $49.6 million from our share of the proceeds from the sale of the 2018 Properties Sold, $20.5 million from the sale of our common stock, $1.2 million from the repayment of principal and interest on the loan to the Newark Joint Venture, and our available cash (including restricted cash). At September 30, 2018 and November 30, 2018, our available cash (excluding restricted cash) is approximately $27.4 million and $21.6 million, respectively. We anticipate that (i) our operating expenses, dividend payments and $77.7 million of mortgage amortization and interest expense payments in 2019 and 2020 will be funded from cash generated from the operations of our multi-family properties and, to the extent such sources are insufficient, from mortgage refinancings and/or sales of properties, and (ii) the $84.7 million of balloon payments due with respect to mortgages maturing from 2019 through 2020 will be funded from the refinancing of such mortgages. (The mortgage debt with respect to these properties generally is non-recourse to us and our subsidiary holding our interest in the applicable joint venture). Our operating cash flow and available cash are insufficient to fully fund such balloon payments, and if we are unable to refinance such debt, we may need to issue additional equity or dispose of properties on potentially less favorable terms. Capital improvements at (i) 17 multi-family properties will be funded by approximately $6.7 million of restricted cash available at September 30, 2018 and (ii) other properties will be funded from the operations of such properties. Our ability to acquire additional multi-family properties is limited by our available cash and our ability to obtain on acceptable terms, equity contributions from joint venture partners and mortgage debt from lenders. Further, if and to the extent we generate ordinary taxable income, we will be required to make distributions to stockholders to maintain our REIT status and as a result, will be limited in our ability to use gains, if any, from property sales, as a source of funds for operating expenses, debt service and property acquisitions. We anticipate that the construction and other costs associated with the West Nashville, TN development project will be funded by capital previously contributed by our joint venture partners and us and remaining in-place construction financing of up to $47.4 million. Off Balance Sheet Arrangements Not applicable. Significant Accounting Estimates and Critical Accounting Policies Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in note 1 to our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements and related disclosure in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain of our accounting policies are particularly important to understand our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgments and estimates 30 by our management; as a result they are subject to a degree of uncertainty. These significant accounting policies include the following: Principles of Consolidation We have entered into, and may continue to enter into, various joint venture agreements with unrelated third parties to hold or develop real estate assets. We must determine for each of these joint ventures whether to consolidate the entity or account for our investment under the equity or cost method of accounting. Investments acquired or created are continually evaluated based on the accounting guidance relating to variable interest entities ("VIEs"), which requires the consolidation of VIEs in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary. If the investment is determined not to be a VIE, then the investment is evaluated for consolidation (primarily using a voting interest model) under the remaining consolidation guidance relating to real estate entities. If we are the manager of a limited liability company, we also consider the consolidation guidance relating to the rights of non-managing members to assess whether any rights held by such members are participating rights and the level of control such members may have over the entity. We evaluate our accounting for investments on a quarterly basis or when a reconsideration event (as defined in GAAP) with respect to our investments occurs. The analysis required to identify VIEs and primary beneficiaries is complex and requires substantial management judgment. Carrying Value of Real Estate Portfolio We conduct a quarterly review of each real estate asset owned by us and through our joint ventures. This review is conducted in order to determine if indicators of impairment are present on the real estate. In reviewing the value of the real estate assets owned, whether by us or our joint ventures, if there is an indicator of impairment and the carrying value of the real estate asset is determined to be unrecoverable, we seek to arrive at the fair value of each real estate asset by using one or more valuation techniques, such as comparable sales, discounted cash flow analysis or replacement cost analysis. A real estate asset is considered to be unrecoverable when an analysis suggests that the undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the property will be insufficient to recover our investment. Any impairment taken with respect to our real estate assets reduces our net income, assets and stockholders' equity to the extent of the amount of the allowance, but it will not affect our cash flow until such time as the property is sold. No such charges were taken in the past three years. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue from residential properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Rental payments are due in advance. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year. Rental revenue from commercial properties, including the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases, net of any rent concessions and lease incentives, is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease. Purchase Price Allocations We allocate the purchase price of properties, including acquisition costs when appropriate, to the tangible and identified intangible assets acquired based on their relative fair values. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating purchase price, we use a number of sources, including independent appraisals that may be obtained in connection with the acquisition or financing of the respective property, our own analysis of recently acquired and existing comparable properties in our portfolio and other market data. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of its pre- acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired. 31 Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. Our junior subordinated notes bear interest at the rate of three --month LIBOR plus 200 basis points. A 100 basis point increase in the rate would result in an increase in interest expense in 2019 of $374,000 and a 100 basis point decrease in the rate would result in a $374,000 decrease in interest expense in 2019. With the exception of seven mortgages (three of which are subject to interest rate swap agreements), all of our mortgage debt is fixed rate. For the variable rate debt not subject to interest rate swaps, an increase of 100 basis points in the interest rate would increase interest expense by approximately $871,000 and a decrease of 100 basis points in the interest rate would decrease interest expense by approximately $871,000. As of September 30, 2018, we had three interest rate swaps and two interest rate caps outstanding. The fair value of our interest rate swaps and caps is dependent upon existing market interest rates and swap spreads, which change over time. At September 30, 2018, if there had been an increase of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps and caps would have increased by $2.8 million. If there had been a decrease of 100 basis points in forward interest rates, the fair market value of the interest rate swaps would decrease by $2.9 million. These changes would not have any material impact on our net income or cash. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. The information required by this item appears in a separate section of this Report following Part IV. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures A review and evaluation was performed by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that review and evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented as of September 30, 2018, were effective. Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting, as defined in in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2018 that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, a company's principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by a company's board, management and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: • • • pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of a company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of a company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of a company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial transactions. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 32 Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018. In making this assessment, our management used criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013). Based on its assessment, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. Our independent auditors, BDO USA, LLP, have issued an audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. This report appears on page F-3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 9B. Other Information.

F-1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Stockholders and Board of Directors BRT Apartments Corp. and Subsidiaries Great Neck, New York Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of BRT Apartments Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes and schedule (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at September 30, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated December 10, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. /s/ BDO USA LLP We have served as the Company's auditor since 2011 New York, New York December 10, 2018 F-2 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Stockholders and Board of Directors BRT Apartments Corp. and Subsidiaries Great Neck, New York Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited BRT Apartments Corp. and Subsidiaries’ (the “Company”) internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2018, based on the COSO criteria. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of September 30, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2018, and the related notes and schedule and our report dated December 10, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Item 9A, Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. /s/ BDO USA LLP New York, New York December 10, 2018 F-3 BRT APARTMENTS CORP.

F-9 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Organization and Background BRT Apartments Corp. (“BRT” or the “Company”) is the successor to BRT Realty Trust pursuant to the conversion of BRT Realty Trust from a Massachusetts business trust to a Maryland corporation on March 18, 2017. BRT owns, operates and develops multi-family properties. Generally, the multi-family properties are acquired with joint venture partners in transactions in which the Company contributes 65% to 80% of the equity. At September 30, 2018, the Company owns 36 multi-family properties with 10,121 (including 402 units at a property under development) located in 11 states. At September 30, 2018, the carrying value of the multi-family assets (including a real estate asset held for sale), was $1,049,408,000. The Company also owns and operates various other real estate assets. At September 30, 2018, the carrying value of the other real estate assets was $15,293,000, including a real estate loan of $4,900,000. BRT conducts its operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for Federal income tax purposes. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of BRT Apartments Corp. , its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority owned or controlled entities and its interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which the Company has determined it is the primary beneficiary. Material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's consolidated joint ventures that own multi-family properties were determined to be VIEs because the voting rights of some equity investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity and their right to receive the expected residual returns. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint ventures because it has a controlling financial interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The joint ventures that own properties in Ocee, FL, Lawrenceville, GA, Dallas, TX, Farmers Branch, TX and Grand Prairie, TX were determined not to be VIE's but are consolidated because the Company has controlling rights in such entities. With respect to its unconsolidated joint ventures, as (i) the Company is generally the managing member but does not exercise substantial operating control over these entities or the Company is not the managing member and (ii) such entities are not VIEs, the Company determined that such joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting for financial statement purposes. Certain items on the consolidated financial statements for the prior years have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation, including the reclassification (i) of the operations and related assets of the Newark Joint Venture to discontinued operations, (ii) of deferred loan costs on the consolidated balance sheets from assets to a reduction of the carrying amount of mortgage payable and (iii) tenant utility reimbursements from real estate operating expenses to rental and other revenues from real estate properties. The reclassification of tenant utility reimbursements increased total revenues and expenses by $4,066,000 in 2016, and had no effect on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows. Income Tax Status The Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The board of directors may, at its option, elect to revoke or terminate the Company's election to qualify as a real estate investment trust. The Company will not be subject to federal, and generally state and local taxes on amounts it distributes to stockholders, provided it distributes 90% of its ordinary taxable income and meets other conditions. The Company currently has net operating loss carryforwards which it can use to reduce taxable income. Use of the net operating loss carryforward was subject to an alternative minimum tax in 2016 and 2017. The Federal alternative minimum tax was repealed effective January 1, 2018. In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA”) of 2017 was passed. The TCJA includes a number of changes to the corporate income tax system, including a reduction in the statutory federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, changes to deductions for certain pass-through business income (including certain REIT dividends), and potential limitations on interest expense, depreciation, and the deductibility of executive compensation. As a REIT, we are generally not F-10 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate level and do not believe that any of the changes from the TCJA will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740 - "Income Taxes", the Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and, as such, does not have any uncertain tax positions that, if successfully challenged, could result in a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. The Company's income tax returns for the previous six years are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue from multi-family properties is recorded when due from residents and is recognized monthly as it is earned. Rental payments are due in advance. Leases on residential properties are generally for terms that do not exceed one year. Rental revenue from commercial properties, including the base rent that each tenant is required to pay in accordance with the terms of their respective leases, net of any rent concessions and lease incentives, is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease. Real Estate Properties Real estate properties are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation, and includes properties acquired through acquisition, development or foreclosure. The Company assesses the fair value of real estate acquired (including land, buildings and improvements, and identified intangibles such as acquired in-place leases) and acquired liabilities and allocates the acquisition price, including transaction costs, based on these assessments. Depreciation for multi-family properties is computed on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Intangible assets (and liabilities) are amortized over the remaining life of the related leases at the time of acquisition and is usually less than one year. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Real estate is classified as held for sale when management has determined that the applicable criteria have been met. Real estate assets that are expected to be disposed of are valued at the lower of their carrying amount or their fair value less costs to sell on an individual asset basis. Real estate classified as held for sale is not depreciated. The Company accounts for the sale of real estate when title passes to the buyer, sufficient equity payments have been received, there is no continuing involvement by the Company and there is reasonable assurance that the remaining receivable, if any, will be collected. Real Estate Asset Impairments The Company reviews each real estate asset owned, including investments in real estate ventures, to determine if there are indicators of impairment. If such indicators are present, the Company determines whether the carrying amount of the asset can be recovered. Recognition of impairment is required if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the asset's carrying amount and that carrying amount exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. The estimated fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model of the expected future cash flows through the useful life of the property. The analysis includes an estimate of the future cash flows that are expected to result from the real estate investment’s use and eventual disposition. These cash flows consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends, the effects of leasing demands, and other factors. In evaluating a property for impairment, various factors are considered, including estimated current and expected operating cash flow from the property during the projected holding period, costs necessary to extend the life or improve the asset, expected capitalization rates, projected stabilized net operating income, selling costs, and the ability to hold and dispose of such real estate in the ordinary course of business. Valuation adjustments may be necessary in the event that effective interest rates, rent-up periods, future economic conditions, and other relevant factors vary significantly from those assumed in valuing the property. If future evaluations result in a decrease in the value of the property below its carrying value, the reduction will be recognized as an impairment charge. The fair values related to the impaired real estate assets are considered to be a level 3 valuation within the fair value hierarchy. F-11 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Fixed Asset Capitalization Various costs may be incurred in the development of the Company's properties. After a determination is made to capitalize a cost, it is allocated to the specific project that is benefited. The costs of land and building under development include specifically identifiable costs. These capitalized costs include pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, development costs, construction costs, interest costs, real estate taxes and other costs incurred during the period of development. A construction project is considered substantially completed when it is available for occupancy, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. The Company ceases capitalizing costs when the project is available for occupancy. Equity Based Compensation Compensation expense for grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs") are amortized over the vesting period of such awards, based upon the estimated fair value of such award at the grant date. The deferred compensation related to the RSUs to be recognized as expense is net of certain and performance assumptions which are re-evaluated quarterly. For accounting purposes, the restricted shares and the RSUs are not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest; however, the restricted shares are included in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share as they participate in the earnings of the Company. Derivatives and Hedging Activities The Company's objective in using derivative financial instruments is to manage interest rate risk related to variable rate debt. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedge transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognized directly in earnings. For derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized directly in earnings in the period in which they occur. Per Share Data Basic earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to holders of common stock for the applicable year by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during such year. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue shares of common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock or resulted in the issuance of shares of common stock that share in the earnings of the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by dividing net income (loss) applicable to the holders of common stock for the applicable year by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of the Company's unvested RSUs using the treasury stock method. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments; primarily, direct United States treasury obligations with maturities of three months or less when purchased. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of cash held for construction costs and property improvements for specific properties as may be required by contractual arrangements. F-12 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) Deferred Costs Fees and costs incurred in connection with multi-family property financings are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt obligations. Fees and costs paid related to the successful negotiation of commercial leases are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. New Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which prescribes a single, common revenue standards that supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP, including most industry-specific requirements. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 outlines a five step model to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. The Company’s revenues are primarily derived from rental income, which is scoped out from this standard and is currently accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach, applying the provisions to open contracts as of the date of adoption. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the timing or amounts of the Company’s revenues. However, the recognition of gains on dispositions of properties may be impacted prospectively in circumstances under which collectability of the sales price may not be reasonably assured or if the Company has continuing involvement with a sold property. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes the current accounting for leases and while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, and requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and makes targeted changes to lessor accounting. Further, in July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements. This amendment provides a new practical expedient that allows lessors, by class of underlying asset, to avoid separating lease and associated non-lease components within a contract if certain criteria are met: (i) the timing and pattern of transfer for the non-lease component and the associated lease component are the same and (ii) the stand-alone lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2019, and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements. As lessor, the Company expects that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (as amended by subsequent ASUs) will not change the timing of revenue recognition of the Company’s rental revenues. As a lessee, the Company is party to certain equipment, ground, and office leases with future payment obligations for which the Company expects to record right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments upon adoption of this standard. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which provides specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues and how to reduce diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard effect October 1, 2018, and will elect the “cumulative earnings approach” whereby distributions received from equity method investments would be classified as cash flows from operations to the extent of equity earnings and then as cash flows from investing activities thereafter. Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-15, the Company expects to reclassify $146,000 and $134,000 of its cash inflows from investing activities to cash flows from operating activities in its historical presentation of cash flows related to its equity method investments for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. F-13 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION, BACKGROUND AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU Update No. 2016-018, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the combined total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash equivalents. Entities will also be required to reconcile such total to amounts on the balance sheet and disclose relevant information about the nature of the restrictions on the basis of their individual facts and circumstances. The effective date of the standard will be fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The new standard requires a retrospective approach. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2018, and expects to reclassify $535,000 and $1,200,000. of its cash outflows from operating activities to change in cash and restricted cash in its historical presentation of cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which amends the guidance on nonfinancial assets in ASC 610-20. The amendments clarify that (i) a financial asset is within the scope of ASC 610-20 if it meets the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counter-party, (ii) an entity should identify each distinct nonfinancial asset or in substance nonfinancial asset promised to a counter-party and de-recognize each asset when a counter-party obtains control of it, and (iii) an entity should allocate consideration to each distinct asset by applying the guidance in ASC 606 on allocating the transaction price to performance obligations. Further, ASU 2017-05 provides guidance on accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU 2014-09. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2018, and does expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The update better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, permitted. The Company will adopt this standard effective October 1, 2019, and is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the consolidated financial statements. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This update provides specific guidance for transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and specifies that Topic 718 applies to all share-based payment transactions in which a grantor acquires goods or services to be used or consumed in a grantor’s own operations by issuing share-based payment awards. The amendments also clarify that Topic 718 does not apply to share-based payments used to effectively provide (i) financing to the issuer or (ii) awards granted in conjunction with selling goods or services to customers as part of a contract accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted but not earlier than the adoption of ASC Topic 606. The Company does not believe that this guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements as it has not historically issued share-based payments in exchange for goods or services to be consumed within its operations. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC Topic 820. This guidance is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. F-14 BRT APARTMENTS CORP.

Through September 30, 2018, the Company recognized $9,150,000 in insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Harvey, of which $4,498,000, is recorded as a gain on insurance recovery and $1,180,000 of recoveries from business interruption insurance has been recognized as rental income.

The Company measures and records impairment losses, and reduces the carrying value of properties, when indicators of impairment are present and the expected undiscounted cash flows related to those properties are less than their carrying amounts.

During the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017, and 2016, no impairment charges were recorded. NOTE 4 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company conducts a large portion of its business with joint venture partners. Many of the Company's consolidated joint ventures that own properties were determined to be variable interest entities ("VIEs") because the voting rights of some equity partners are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected loses of the entity and their rights to receive expected residual returns. It was determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of these joint venture because it has a controlling financial interest in that it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impacts the entity's economic performance and it has the obligation to absorb losses of the entity and the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The following is a summary of the carrying amounts with respect to the consolidated VIEs and their classification on the Company's consolidated balance sheets (amounts in thousands): ASSETS Real estate properties, net of depreciation of $52,873 and $35,525 Cash and cash equivalents Deposits and escrows Other assets Real estate properties held for sale Total Assets LIABILITIES Mortgages payable, net of deferred costs of $3,786 and $5,170 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Mortgage payable held for sale Total Liabilities NOTE 5–DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS September 30, 2018 2017 586,623 $ 707,546 6,699 11,837 6,781 38,852 8,626 13,873 8,148 8,969 650,792 $ 747,162 481,569 $ 12,841 — 494,410 $ 558,568 14,419 — 572,987 $ $ $ $ On February 23, 2016, the Company sold, through subsidiaries which owned such interests, its equity interests in RBH - TRB Newark Holdings, LLC (the "Newark Joint Venture"), to RBH Partners III, LLC, for $16,900,000 (the "NJV Sale").

F-22 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") pursuant to the Code. As a REIT, the Company will generally not be subject to Federal income taxes at the corporate level if it distributes 100% of its REIT taxable income, as defined, to its stockholders. To maintain its REIT status, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income; however, if it does not distribute 100% of its taxable income, it will be taxed on undistributed income. There are a number of organizational and operational requirements the Company must meet to remain a REIT. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, its taxable income will be subject to Federal income tax at regular corporate tax rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent tax years. Even if it is qualified as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain state and local income taxes and to Federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. For income tax purposes, the Company reports on a calendar year basis. During the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $50,000, $1,560,000 and $689,000, respectively, of Federal alternative minimum tax and state franchise tax expense, net of refunds, relating to the 2018, 2017 and 2016 calendar years. The Federal alternative minimum tax is no longer effective in 2018. Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, differs from net income reported for financial statement purposes due to various items, including timing differences related to loan loss provisions, impairment charges, depreciation methods and carrying values. At December 31, 2017, the Company had a net operating loss carry forward of $16,816,000. These net operating losses may be available in future years to reduce taxable income when it is generated. These tax loss carry forwards no longer expire and are available to offset 100% of taxable income. Net operating losses generated in 2018 and after will be available to offset 80% of taxable income. NOTE 12—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock Dividend Distribution During the years ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company declared an aggregate of $0.78 and $0.18 per share in cash dividends. The Company did not declare or pay any dividends during the year ended September 30, 2016. Stock Based Compensation Each of the Company's 2018 Incentive Plan (the "2018 Plan") and Amended and Restated 2016 Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") authorized the Company to grant: (i) up to 600,000 shares of common stock pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and performance shares awards; and (ii) cash settled dividend equivalent rights in tandem with the grant of restricted stock units and certain performance based awards. The Company's 2012 Incentive Plan (the "2012 Plan") authorized the Company to grant up to 600,000 shares of common stock pursuant to stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards. No further awards may be granted pursuant to the 2016 Plan and the 2012 Plan, which are referred to collectively as the "Prior Plans". Restricted Stock Units In June 2016, pursuant to the 2016 Plan, the Company issued restricted stock units (the "Units") to acquire up to 450,000 through March 31, 2021 (the shares of common stock. The Units entitle the recipients, subject to continued service “Performance Period”), to receive in the aggregate, (i) up to 200,000 shares (the “TSR Award”) of common stock based on achieving, during the Performance Period, specified levels in compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) in total stockholder return (“TSR”), and (ii) up to 200,000 shares of common stock based on achieving, during the Performance Period, specified levels in CAGR in adjusted funds from operations, as determined pursuant to the performance agreement (the "AFFO Award"). In addition, up to 50,000 shares (the "Adjustment Awared")may be added to or subtracted from the TSR Award, based on attaining or failing to attain, as the case may be, during the Performance Period, of CAGR in TSR relative to the CAGR in TSR F-23 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 12—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (Continued) for the REITs that comprise, with specified exceptions, the FTSE NAREIT Equity Apartment Index. The recipients also received dividend equivalent rights entitling them to receive cash dividends with respect to the shares of common stock underlying their Units as if the underlying shares were outstanding during the Performance Period, if, when, and to the extent, the related Units vest. The Units were determined not to be participating securities and accordingly, for financial statement purposes, the shares underlying the Units are excluded in the outstanding shares reflected on the consolidated balance sheet and from the calculation of basic earnings per share. Though the 450,000 shares underlying the units are contingently issuable shares, 250,000 of such shares have not been included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the criteria with respect to the AFFO Award and the Adjustment Award were not met at September 30, 2018. The Company included 200,000 shares of common stock underlying the TSR Awards in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the market criteria with respect to the TSR award have been met at September 30, 2018. For the TSR Awards, a third party appraiser prepared a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model to assist management in determining fair value. For the AFFO Awards, fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant. Expense is not recognized on the Units which the Company does not expect to vest as a result of conditions the Company does not expect to be satisfied. The total amount recorded at the grant date as deferred compensation with respect to the Units was $2,117,000. As of September 30, 2018, $1,432,000 of deferred compensation allocated to the AFFO Award has been reversed, as it is not anticipated that the performance goals will be met. The remaining $685,000 allocated to the TSR Award is being charged to general and administrative expense over the Performance Period. The deferred compensation expense to be recognized is net of certain forfeiture and performance assumptions. The Company recorded $(56,000), $240,000 and $146,000 of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the Units in the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, $354,000 and $1,015,000 respectively, has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the balance of the Performance Period. Restricted Stock In March 2018, the Company granted 144,797 shares of restricted stock pursuant to the 2018 Plan. As of September 30, 2018, an aggregate of 705,847 shares of unvested restricted stock are outstanding pursuant to the Plan and the Prior Plans. All shares of restricted stock vest five years from the date of grant and under specified circumstances, including a change in control, may vest earlier. For financial statement purposes, the restricted stock is not included in the outstanding shares shown on the consolidated balance sheets until they vest, but are included in the earnings per share computation. During the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, the Company recorded $1,044,000 and $978,000, and $859,000 respectively, of compensation expense related to the amortization of unearned compensation with respect to the restricted stock awards. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, $3,023,000 and $2,356,000, respectively, has been deferred as unearned compensation and will be charged to expense over the remaining vesting periods of these restricted stock awards.

Junior subordinated notes: At September 30, 2018 and 2017, the estimated fair value of the Company's junior subordinated notes is less than their carrying value by approximately $12,451,486, and $15,705,000, respectively, based on market interest rates of 7.35% and 6.82%, respectively. F-28 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 15—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (Continued) Mortgages payable: At September 30, 2018, the estimated fair value of the Company's mortgages payable is lower than their carrying value by approximately $34,039,000 assuming market interest rates between 4.30% and 6.04%. At September 30, 2018, the estimated fair value was lower than the carrying value by $11,400,000, assuming market interest rates between 3.78% and 5.02%. Market interest rates were determined using current financing transaction information provided by third party institutions. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value assumptions. The fair values of the real estate loans and debt obligations are considered to be Level 2 valuations within the fair value hierarchy. Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value The Company's fair value measurements are based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, there is a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between markets participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity's own assumptions about market participant assumptions. Level 1 assets/ liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets, or on other "observable" market inputs and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on "unobservable" market inputs. The Company does not currently own any financial instruments that are classified as Level 3. Set forth below is information regarding the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2018 (dollars in thousands): Financial Assets: Interest rate swaps Interest rate caps Total Financial Assets Financial Liabilities: Interest rate swap Carrying and Fair Value Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy Level 1 Level 2 3,787 6 3,793 — $ $ — $ 3,787 6 3,793 — — $ — $ $ $ Derivative financial instruments: Fair values are approximated using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivatives. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, and implied volatilities. At September 30, 2018, these derivatives are included in other assets a on the consolidated balance sheet. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with it utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparty. As of September 30, 2018, the Company assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company determined that its derivative valuation is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. F-29 BRT APARTMENTS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements September 30, 2018 NOTE 16—COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES The Company maintains a non-contributory defined contribution pension plan covering eligible employees and officers. Contributions by the Company are made through a money purchase plan, based upon a percent of qualified employees' total salary as defined therein. Pension expense approximated $350,000, $342,000 and $324,000 during the years ended September 30, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, $18,000 and $162,000, respectively, remains unpaid and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2018, the Company is the carve-out guarantor with respect to mortgage debt in principal amount of $113,730,000 at seven multi-family properties. NOTE 17—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives, designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands): Interest Rate Derivative Interest rate cap on LIBOR Interest rate cap on LIBOR Interest Rate Swap Interest Rate Swap Interest Rate Swap September 30, 2018 Balance Sheet Location Other Assets Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Notional Amount Rate 9,200 29,000 1,446 26,400 27,000 3.86 % 3.00 % 5.25 % 3.61 % 4.05 % Maturity January 1, 2021 July 10, 2019 April 1, 2022 May 6, 2023 September 19, 2026 Derivatives as of: September 30, 2017 Fair Value Balance Sheet Location Fair Value 3,793 — Other assets Accounts payable and accrued liabilities $ $ 1,460 14 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ F-30 BRT APARTMENTS CORP.

During the twelve months ending September 30, 2019, the Company estimates an additional $533,000 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income as an increase to interest expense. Credit-risk-related Contingent Features The agreement between the Company and its derivatives counterparty provides that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligation.
