Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     On October 15, 1999, a subsidiary of BRT Realty Trust ("BRT")  entered into
a joint  venture  effective  September  1, 1999 with  Kimco  Realty  Corporation
("Kimco"),  whereby  the  subsidiary  of BRT and a  subsidiary  of Kimco  became
members in Blue Hen Venture, L.L.C. ("BHV"), a newly organized limited liability
company.  The BRT  subsidiary  and the  Kimco  subsidiary  will  each have a 50%
interest  in BHV and the Kimco  entity  will be the  managing  member.  BHV will
primarily own,  operate,  and develop a corporate mall and retail center located
in Dover, Delaware.

     Pursuant to the operating  agreement,  the subsidiary of BRT contributed to
BHV a 460,000 square foot enclosed facility  (formerly a shopping mall) and five
free  standing  buildings  containing  55,000  square feet of space.  The entire
complex is  contained on  approximately  90 acres.  The complex was  transferred
subject to a net  outstanding  mortgage of  approximately  $6.8  million.  Kimco
through its subsidiary  contributed  $4.6 million to BHV and caused an option to
acquire an  approximately  40 acre parcel of land  adjacent to the complex to be
assigned to BHV. The BRT  subsidiary  received a  distribution  from BHV of $4.6
million.

     For  purposes  of this  Current  Report on Form 8-K,  BRT is deemed to have
disposed of this property and it will no longer be consolidated into the results
of  operations  of BRT.  BRT will  account for its  investment  in BHV using the
equity method of accounting.
