BRT Realty Trust Reports First Quarter Results ... - Construction Digital

GREAT NECK, NY--(Marketwire - February 9, 2012) - BRT REALTY TRUST (NYSE: BRT), a real estate investment trust primarily engaged in the business of originating and holding for investment senior mortgage loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate in the United States, today announced operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Operating Results:

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were approximately $3.15 million, an increase of 29% or $702,000 from the three months ended December 31, 2010.?The increase was due primarily to the increase in interest on real estate loans.?This increase generally resulted from the increase in the average balance of earning loans outstanding, which is attributable to increased loan originations in fiscal 2011.?For the three months ended December 31, 2011, BRT originated approximately $25.5 million in loans compared to $28.3 million in the corresponding period in the prior year.

Total expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 decreased by approximately $321,000 or 8.9%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2010.?The decrease is attributable to decreases in interest on borrowed funds, foreclosure related professional fees and operating expenses relating to real estate properties.?Partially offsetting the decrease was a $243,000 increase in general and administrative expenses.

Income from continuing operations was $3.38 million or $.24 per share for the current three months compared to a loss of $508,000 or $.04 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010.?The increase is due to a $3.19 million gain on the sale of a loan held for sale and the increase in revenues and decrease in expenses described above.?Partially offsetting the increase was the loss of $18,000 on sale of available-for-sale securities compared to a $421,000 gain from such sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 as well as a loss of $75,000 in equity of unconsolidated ventures compared to $49,000 in earnings from such ventures in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

Discontinued operations for the current quarter reflect a $490,000 gain on sale of a real estate asset.

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $3.9 million in the current quarter compared to a loss of $508,000 in the corresponding quarter of last year.

Subsequent Event:

From late December 2011 through February 2012, a subsidiary of the Newark Joint Venture entered into a series of agreements pursuant to which the subsidiary obtained access to financing of approximately $50 million to construct two buildings at the Teachers Village site located in Newark, NJ.?The buildings will be used for charter schools and retail space.?It is anticipated that construction of these buildings will be completed in 2013.?These funds will be released to the joint venture from time-to-time upon satisfaction of specified conditions.?The Newark Joint Venture is a consolidated subsidiary of BRT in which BRT owns a 50.1% equity interest.

Jeffrey A. Gould, president and chief executive officer, commented that: "In January 2012, we completed, through a joint venture, one small acquisition of a multi-family property.?In addition to continuing to pursue bridge lending opportunities, we look forward to applying a portion of our approximately $80 million in cash, cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities to acquire, with joint venture partners, multi-family properties.?The Newark Joint Venture was also successful in arranging access to $50 million to fund construction of two buildings at its properties."
