PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership ("NERA" or the
"Partnership"), a Massachusetts limited partnership, was formed on August 12,
1977 as the successor to five real estate limited partnerships (collectively,
the "Colonial Partnerships"), which filed for protection under Chapter XII of
the Federal Bankruptcy Act in September 1974. The bankruptcy proceedings were
terminated in late 1984.
The authorized capital of the Partnership is represented by three classes of
partnership units ("Partnership Units"). There are two categories of limited
partnership interests ("Class A Units" and "Class B Units"), and one category of
general partnership interests (the "General Partnership Units"). The Class A
Units were issued to creditors and limited partners of the Colonial Partnerships
and have been registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Each Class A Unit is exchangeable for ten publicly traded Depositary
Receipts ("Receipts"). The Class B Units were issued to the original general
partners of the Partnership. The General Partnership Units are held by the
current general partner of the Partnership, NewReal, Inc. (the "General
Partner").
The Partnership is engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, holding
for investment, operating and selling real estate. In connection with various
new mortgages obtained in 1995 on certain properties, the lender required that
the Partnership restructure its ownership interest in these properties into
subsidiary limited partnerships. The Partnership directly or through 19
subsidiary limited partnerships (collectively, the "Subsidiary Partnerships" and
individually, a "Subsidiary Partnership"), owns and operates various residential
apartment buildings, condominium units and commercial properties located in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Maine. The Partnership owns a
99.67% interest in each of the 19 Subsidiary Partnerships. The remaining .33%
interest of each Subsidiary Partnership is held by an unaffiliated third party.
The third party has entered into a lease agreement with the Partnership,
pursuant to which any benefit derived from its ownership interest in such
Subsidiary Partnerships will be returned to the Partnership. The Partnership has
also made investments in other real estate limited partnerships. The Partnership
acquired six residential and mixed-use properties and sold two residential
properties in 1995. SEE "ITEM 1. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS."
The long-term goals of the Partnership are to manage, rent and improve its
properties and, as suitable opportunities arise, to acquire additional
properties with income and capital appreciation potential. When appropriate, the
Partnership may sell properties and may refinance selected properties with low
debt-to-equity ratios. Proceeds from any such sales or refinancings will be
reinvested in acquisitions of other properties, distributed to the partners, or
used for operating expenses or reserves, as determined by the General Partner.
OPERATIONS OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The Partnership is managed by the General Partner, which is a Massachusetts
corporation wholly-owned by Harold Brown and Ronald Brown. The General Partner
has employed the Hamilton Company Limited Partnership (the "Hamilton
Partnership") to perform the management functions for the Partnership's
properties. The Hamilton Partnership employs Harold Brown and Ronald Brown. The
Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships currently employ 55 individuals who
are primarily involved in the supervision and maintenance of specific
properties. The General Partner has no other employees except for Harold Brown
and Ronald Brown.
As of March 14, 1996, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships owned
and leased to residential tenants 1,610 apartment units in 17 residential and
mixed-use complexes (collectively, the "Apartment Complexes"), 19 condominium
units retained by the Partnership as rental properties in a residential
apartment complex formerly owned by the Partnership which has been converted
into condominiums, one condominium unit in a separate condominium complex and
one co-operative
1
<PAGE>
apartment (the condominium unit and co-operative apartment are collectively
referred to as the "Condominium Units"). The Apartment Complexes and the
Condominium Units are located primarily in the greater metropolitan Boston,
Massachusetts area.
Additionally, as of March 14, 1996, the Subsidiary Partnerships owned
commercial shopping centers in East Hampton, Connecticut, Gardner,
Massachusetts, and Lewiston, Maine and commercial space in mixed-use buildings
in Boston and Newton, Massachusetts. These properties are referred to
collectively as the "Commercial Properties." The Partnership also owns interests
in real estate limited partnerships which own an office building in West
Peabody, Massachusetts, a warehouse in Danvers, Massachusetts, and an industrial
park in Woburn, Massachusetts, and is a party to a joint venture which leases
space at the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center (the foregoing properties are
referred to collectively as the "Investment Properties"). See Note 2 to Notes to
Financial Statements included as a part of this Form 10-K.
The Apartment Complexes, Condominium Units, Commercial Properties, and
Investment Properties are referred to collectively as the "Properties."
Harold Brown and, in certain cases, Ronald Brown, own or have owned
interests in certain of the Properties. See "ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND
RELATED TRANSACTIONS."
In general, the Properties face no unusual competition. The Apartment
Complexes and Condominium Units must compete for tenants with other residential
apartments and condominium units in the areas in which they are located. The
Commercial Properties and Investment Properties must compete for commercial
tenants with other shopping malls and office buildings in the areas in which
they are located.
In the opinion of the General Partner, the Properties are adequately covered
by insurance.
The General Partner is not limited in the number or amount of mortgages
which may be placed on any property, nor is there a policy limiting the
percentage of Partnership assets which may be invested in any specific property.
The Second Amended and Restated Contract of Limited Partnership of the
Partnership (the "Partnership Agreement") authorizes the General Partner to
acquire real estate and real estate related investments from or in participation
with either or both of Harold Brown and Ronald Brown, or their affiliates, upon
the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions, including the approval of the
Partnership's Advisory Committee, and limitations on the price paid by the
Partnership for such investments. The Partnership Agreement also permits the
Partnership's limited partners and the General Partner to make loans to the
Partnership, subject to certain limitations on the rate of interest which may be
charged to the Partnership. Except for the foregoing, the Partnership does not
have any policies prohibiting any limited partner, general partner, or any other
person from having any direct or indirect pecuniary interest in any investment
to be acquired or disposed of by the Partnership or in any transaction to which
the Partnership is a party or has an interest in or from engaging for their own
account in business activities of the types conducted or to be conducted by the
Partnership.
In March, 1993, the Partnership announced that it would offer to purchase
depository receipts from all holders of less than 100 depository receipts. A
total of 23,391 depository receipts were purchased at $5 per receipt. From time
to time the Partnership's Advisory Committee may advise the Partnerhip on
certain matters, including whether it would be in the best interest of the
Partnership to repurchase additional depository receipts.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The Partnership believes it strengthened its portfolio by making significant
acquisitions of residential and mixed-use properties in 1995. The Partnership
acquired six properties for a total purchase price of approximately $32,123,000.
The properties were acquired from trusts, of which the majority shareholder of
the Partnership's General Partner was a substantial beneficial owner. In
2
<PAGE>
substance, the properties were owned by the trust's secured lender under a
previous restructuring agreement whereby the lender received all of the
operating income from the properties as well as the proceeds from the sale to
the Partnership. The acquisitions were financed by mortgages on the acquired
properties totaling $23,956,000. Additional funds totaling $22,446,000 were
provided by 13 mortgages on refinanced or debt-free properties. Approximately
$10,900,000 was used to repay existing mortgages and approximately $8,167,000
was used in the acquisition of the above properties. In connection with these
above mortgages, a substantial number of the Partnership's properties were
restructured into separate Subsidiary Partnerships.
The Subsidiary Partnerships recorded these purchases at the amount paid for
the properties. An entity owned by the majority shareholder of the Partnership's
General Partner received fees of $311,000 from the sellers of these properties.
See Note 2 to Notes to Financial Statements included as part of this Form 10-K.
At December 31, 1994 the Partnership made a deposit of $1,898,000 on one of
the properties it acquired in 1995. This deposit was funded from cash reserves
as well as a loan of $1,175,000 from an entity owned by the majority shareholder
of the Partnership's General Partner. In May, 1995 the Partnership repaid the
$1,175,000 loan.
In conjunction with these mortgages, the lender required that escrow
accounts be established to fund projected capital improvements. Approximately
$870,000 was used to establish these accounts. The Partnership is required to
make additional monthly payments of approxiamtely $34,000 to fund these escrow
accounts.
During the year, the Partnership sold two unencumbered condominium units
located in Stoneham and Boston, Massachusetts for total proceeds of
approximately $220,000 and recorded a gain of approximately $152,000.
Other than such purchases described above, the Partnership has not acquired
any new properties since February, 1989. See "ITEM 2. PROPERTIES." During 1995
the Partnership made certain improvements to its properties at a total cost of
approximately $1,200,000. See "ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
In March, 1996, a major tenant in the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center filed
for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, Chapter 11. This tenant paid
approximately $347,000 of rent in 1995 and was current through February, 1996.
The effect of this bankruptcy filing on the Partnership cannot be determined.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE
The Partnership has an Advisory Committee composed of three limited partners
who are not general partners or affiliates of the Partnership. The Advisory
Committee meets with the General Partner to review the progress of the
Partnership, assist the General Partner with policy formation, review the
appropriateness, timing and amount of proposed distributions, approve or reject
proposed acquisitions and investments with affiliates and to advise the General
Partner on various other Partnership affairs. The Advisory Committee has no
binding power except with respect to investments and acquisitions involving
affiliates of the Partnership.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
As of March 14, 1996, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships own
the Apartment Complexes, the Condominium Units, the Commercial Properties, and
interests in real estate partnerships which own the Investment Properties.
See also "ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS" for
further information concerning affiliated transactions.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES
EAST HAMPTON MALL LP. In 1984, the Partnership acquired the East Hampton
Mall in East Hampton, Connecticut ("East Hampton Mall"). The shopping center is
set on 4.25 acres of land and consists of 52,500 square feet of rentable space,
rented primarily to commercial retail establishments. During 1995, this
Subsidiary Partnership obtained a mortgage in the amount of $1,435,000 which
carries an interest rate of 8.375% and matures in the year 2005. As of December
31, 1995, the mortgage had an outstanding balance of $1,430,712. As of March 14,
1996, the shopping center had a vacancy rate of 9%, and the average rent per
square foot was $4.87.
TIMPANY PLAZA LP. In 1985, the Partnership acquired the Timpany Plaza
Shopping Center in Gardner, Massachusetts ("Timpany Plaza"). The shopping center
is set on 16 acres of land and consists of 184,600 square feet of rentable
space. During 1995, this Subsidiary Partnership obtained a mortgage in the
amount of $3,561,000 which carries an interest rate of 8.375% and matures in the
year 2005. As of December 31, 1995, the mortgage had an outstanding balance of
$3,553,931. As of March 14, 1996, the shopping center had a vacancy rate of 1%,
and the average rent per square foot was $3.82.
This Subsidiary Partnership has a ground lease with a major tenant of the
Timpany Plaza Shopping Center. Pursuant to the ground lease, the tenant
demolished the existing structure and constructed a new store of approximately
60,000 square feet. The tenant moved into the new store in 1989. The Partnership
entered into a joint venture with this tenant to lease the space formerly
occupied by the tenant. The joint venture pays this Subsidiary Partnership
annual minimum rent of $84,546. The joint venture's "net income" (as defined in
the ground lease) earned from leasing the tenant's former space is being split
evenly between this Subsidiary Partnership and the tenant. This Subsidiary
Partnership's share of the joint venture's "net income" in 1995 was $28,904.
The term of the ground lease is 20 years, with automatic extension options
for an additional 30 years. At the termination of the ground lease, this
Subsidiary Partnership will retain sole title to the underlying property.
LEWISTON MALL LP. In 1989, the Partnership acquired the Lewiston Mall in
Lewiston, Maine ("Lewiston Mall"). The shopping center is set on 14 acres of
land and consists of 181,000 square feet of rentable space. During 1995, this
Subsidiary Partnership obtained a mortgage in the amount of $2,933,000 which
carries an interest rate of 8.375% and matures in the year 2005. As of December
31, 1995, the mortgage had an outstanding balance of $2,924,237. As of March 14,
1996, the shopping center had a 6% vacancy rate, and the average rent per square
foot was $4.00.
LINHART LP. During 1995, the Partnership acquired the Linhart property in
Newton, Massachusetts ("Linhart"). The property consists of 21,200 square feet
of rentable space. As of March 14, 1996, the commercial space had a 6% vacancy
rate, and the average rent per square foot was $16.19.
BOYLSTON DOWNTOWN LP. During 1995, this Subsidiary Partnership acquired the
Boylston Downtown property in Boston, Massachusetts ("Boylston"). The property
consists of 17,400 square feet of rentable space. As of March 14, 1996, the
commercial space was fully rented, and the average rent per square foot was
$11.58.
NORTH BEACON 140 LP. During 1995, this Subsidiary Partnership acquired the
North Beacon property in Boston, Massachusetts ("North Beacon"). The property
consists of 1,000 square feet of rentable space. As of March 14, 1996, the

<PAGE>
See Item 13 "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions" concerning
ownership interest in the above properties.
INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
The Partnership has investments in other real estate limited partnerships
which own an office building in West Peabody, Massachusetts, a warehouse in
Danvers, Massachusetts and an industrial park in Woburn, Massachusetts. As of
December 31, 1995, the Partnership's investments in the real estate limited
partnerships which own the Investment Properties and its interest in the joint
venture with a Timpany Plaza tenant comprised less than 1% of the Partnership's
total assets.
COMMERCE WAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP. The Partnership owns a 10% limited
partnership interest in the Commerce Way Limited Partnership ("Commerce Way
L.P."). Commerce Way L.P. owns the Woburn Industrial Center, a 507,000 square
foot industrial park located in Woburn, Massachusetts. As of March 14, 1996, the
center had a 32% vacancy rate. The Partnership's share of losses generated by
the Commerce Way L.P. through the year ended December 31, 1995 exceeded the
Partnership's investment by approximately $1,000,000. As a limited partner, the
Partnership is not liable for amounts in excess of its investment and,
accordingly, has not recorded any excess losses.
WEST PEABODY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP. The Partnership owns a 10% limited
partnership interest in the West Peabody Limited Partnership ("West Peabody
L.P."). West Peabody L.P. owns a 125,000 square foot office and warehouse
building in West Peabody, Massachusetts. As of March 14, 1996, the building had
a 29% vacancy rate. The Partnership's share of losses generated by the West
Peabody L.P. through the year ended December 31, 1995 exceeded the Partnership's
investment by approximately $600,000. As a limited partner, the Partnership is
not liable for amounts in excess of its investment and, accordingly, has not
recorded any excess losses.
125 WATER STREET REALTY ASSOCIATES. The Partnership owns a 10% general
partnership interest in 125 Water Street Realty Associates, which owns a 120,000
square foot warehouse in Danvers, Massachusetts. As of March 14, 1996, the
property was leased to a single tenant for use as a distribution center under a
triple net lease. The lease expires in 1996.
125 Water Street Realty Associates, together with two entities not
affiliated with the Partnership, are jointly liable on a cross-collateralized,
non-recourse loan from the Bank of Nova Scotia in the principal amount of
approximately $22 million. Each of the three entities provided a note to the
bank, as well as a mortgage. Each mortgage secures the full amount of the loan.
The carrying values of the investment properties have been reduced to zero.
There can be no assurance that these investments, which did not produce any
income for the Partnership during 1995, will be realized in the future in excess
of their carrying values.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except as described below, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships
are not a party to, nor are any of their Properties the subject of, any material
legal proceedings, other than routine litigation incidental to the business of
the Partnership.
A proceeding was commenced on March 11, 1986 by the Connecticut Department
of Environmental Protection against the Partnership, as owner of the East
Hampton Mall in East Hampton, Connecticut, one of the tenants of the mall, a
solvent manufacturer, and the Connecticut Light & Power Company. The proceeding
related to alleged contamination of ground water and/or water wells in the
vicinity of the mall resulting from the alleged pouring of cleaning solvents by
the mall tenant down certain drains approximately four years earlier. The
proposed order set forth certain requests for or responses to providing a study,
a program for monitoring wells, a program for remedial action and certain
permits for any remedial action undertaken. The Partnership submitted a report
of an independent engineer retained by the Partnership in connection with this
proceeding. After reviewing the report, the Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection concluded in a letter dated
7
<PAGE>
September 14, 1995 that the past usage of septic system additives at the site
had not created a source of pollution to the waters of the state. The
Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection further stated that Order No.
WC4183 was thereby revoked.
As described in Notes 3, 4, and 6 to Financials, the Partnership and its
Subsidiary Partnerships had transactions with and have interests in certain
entities in which the majority shareholder of the General Partner is involved.
Such shareholder had guaranteed certain notes receivable and had agreed to
indemnify the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships for losses incurred
from certain partnerships in which the Partnership is a General Partner. During
March 1991, this shareholder, the Partnerships management company, and other
related entities filed for protection from their creditors under Chapter 11 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code. In September 1992, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Massachusetts confirmed a reorganization plan pursuant to which
Harold Brown, the majority shareholder of the General Partner, and the
Partnership's management company were discharged of all liabilities (including
all guarantees and indemnifications) and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings.
The management of the Partnership believes that the proceedings described above
will not adversely affect the Partnerships properties or operations.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER
MATTERS
Each Class A Unit is exchangeable, through The First National Bank of
Boston, as Deposit Agent, for ten Depositary Receipts ("Receipts"). The Receipts
are publicly-traded on NASDAQ under the symbol "NEWRZ". There has never been an
established public market for the Class B Units or General Partnership Units.
In 1995, the high and low bid quotations for the Receipts were $6.75 and $5,
respectively. The table below sets forth the high and low bids for each quarter
of 1995 and 1994:

Any portion of the Partnership's cash which the General Partner deems not
necessary for cash reserves is distributed to the Partners. The Partnership has
made annual distributions to its Partners since 1978. In each of 1994 and 1995,
the Partnership made a total distribution of $6.80 per Partnership Unit ($.68
per Receipt), which was paid in equal installments in March and September. The
total value of the distribution in 1995 was $1,202,766, an amount determined by
the General Partner and the Partnership's Advisory Committee. In March 1996, the
Partnership made a distribution of $3.40 per Partnership Unit ($.34 per
Receipt). Partnership has no present plans to change its dividend payment
practices.
In the past, assuming Partners hold Partnership Units or Receipts on the
record date for a distribution, distributions have exceeded the amount of the
individual income tax payable by Partners as a result of Partnership income
allocated to them.

In an effort to reduce the administrative costs associated with servicing
shareholder accounts, in March 1993, the Partnership announced that it would
offer to purchase Receipts from all holders of less than 100 Receipts at $5.00
per Receipt. Holders participating in this program were required to sell their
entire holdings to the Partnership; the Partnership did not accept partial
sales. The repurchase program was completed on September 30, 1993, at a total
cost to the Partnership of $116,950, pursuant to which a total of 23,391
Receipts were repurchased. In order to restore the classes of Partnership Units
to the required ratios, in June 1994 the Partnership repurchased from the
General Partner 25 General Partnership Units and repurchased from Harold Brown
and Ronald Brown 365 and 122 Class B Units, respectively, at an aggregate cost
of $25,600.

class of Partnership Units.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The information required by this Item is included on page 18 of this Form
10-K.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
New England Realty Associates Limited Partnerships and its Subsidiaries
incurred a loss from operations of $3,116,087 during the year ended December 31,
1995 compared to income from operations of $847,980 for the year ended December
31, 1994, a decrease of $3,964,067. This is principally a result of a special
non-cash impairment loss of $3,250,000 on the Lewiston Mall in the fourth
quarter of 1995, related to an early adoption of Statement of Financial
Standards No. 121 (FAS No. 121). (See Note 2 to Financial Statements included as
part of this Form 10-K.) Excluding depreciation and amortization and impairment
loss, income from operations was approximately $2,474,000 in 1995, compared to
$2,484,000 in 1994, a decrease of approximately $10,000.
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1995 was approximately
$12,297,000, compared to approximately $8,385,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994, an increase of approximately $3,912,000. This increase was primarily
due to rental income of $3,706,000 from the newly acquired properties. Rental
income from the existing residential properties increased approximately
$266,000, primarily due to increased rental rates; residential occupancy levels
remained relatively stable. This increase was partially offset by decreased
rental income at existing commercial properties of $60,000. This decrease was
primarily due to a vacancy in the East Hampton Mall, a decrease in charges for
common area maintenance expenses at the Lewiston Mall, and a decrease in
percentage rents at the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center. Laundry and sundry income
increased approximately $41,000 due to the newly acquired properties.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1995 were approximately
$15,576,000, compared to approximately $7,658,000 for the year ended December
31, 1994, an increase of approximately $7,918,000. The most significant
component of this increase was the impairment loss of $3,250,000 recorded for
the Lewiston Mall in the fourth quarter of 1995. Other significant changes were
due to the acquisition of new properties. Interest expense increased to
approximately $3,432,000 for the year ended December 31, 1995 from approximately
$1,672,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, an increase of approximately
$1,760,000. The increase was directly related to the increase in outstanding
mortgages. Other significant changes were also due to the acquisitions of new
properties and consisted of an increase in depreciation and amortization expense
of approximately $703,000; an increase in operating expenses of approximately
$367,000; an increase in repairs and maintenance expenses of approximately
$793,000; and increases in administrative expenses, management fees, renting
expenses, and taxes and insurance of approximately $286,000, $206,000, $210,000,
and $343,000 respectively.

<PAGE>
Interest income was approximately $60,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995, compared to approximately $52,000 for the year ended December 31, 1994, an
increase of approximately $8,000. This increase was due to an increase in funds
available for investment during the second half of 1995.
The Partnership also sold two condominium units during the year for a total
gain of approximately $152,000.
The Partnership is a partner in a joint venture with a tenant at the Timpany
Plaza Shopping Center in Gardner, Massachusetts. Under the terms of the
agreement, the two parties have agreed to relet the space and divide the net
income or loss after paying to the Partnership an annual minimum rent of
approximately $84,000. The Partnership's investment in the Timpany Plaza joint
venture represents less than 1% of the Partnership's assets.
The Partnership's share of income for 1995 in the joint venture at the
Timpany Plaza Shopping Center was approximately $29,000 compared to
approximately $43,000 in 1994, a decrease of approximately $14,000. This
decrease was due to an increase in the operating expenses in connection with the
joint venture.
In 1994, the Partnership reported other income of $130,000 of which $100,000
represented the cost of energy saving devices installed at the Partnership's
properties by utility companies at no cost to the Partnership. The additional
$30,000 represents the elimination of a provision for estimated liabilities in
connection with the Partnership's investment in a partnership.
As a result of the changes discussed above, the net loss for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was approximately $2,875,000, compared to net income for the
year ended December 31, 1994 of approximately $1,073,000, a decrease of
approximately $3,948,000.
In March 1996, a major tenant in the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center filed for
bankruptcy under Chapter 11. This tenant paid approximately $347,000 of rent in
1995 and was current through February 1996. The effect of this filing on the
results of operations of the Partnership cannot be determined.
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
Income from operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $847,980,
compared to $1,026,478 for the year ended December 31, 1993, a decrease of
$178,498. Net cash provided by operating activities was $2,438,108 in 1994,
compared to $2,780,832 in 1993, a decrease of $342,724. These decreases are due
primarily to an increase in expenses, which were partially offset by an increase
in revenues of $91,394.
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $8,384,546, compared
to $8,305,526, an increase of $79,020. This increase is due primarily to an
increase in the rental rates at both the residential and commercial properties.
The most significant increases were at Timpany Plaza and the Westgate
Apartments.
Expenses for the year ended December 31, 1994 were $7,658,215, compared to
$7,388,323 for the year ended December 31, 1993, an increase of $269,892. This
increase is due to an increase in the costs associated with operating the
properties, specifically utility and snow removal costs. Repairs and maintenance
expenses increased $76,921 due to efforts to maintain and improve the occupancy
levels at the properties. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased
$54,983 due to ongoing capital improvements at the properties. Interest expense
increased $54,716 due to an increase in the rates on the variable rate
mortgages.
These increases in expenses are partially offset by a decrease in taxes and
insurance of $30,152 -- due to real estate tax abatements and a reduction in
excise taxes paid to the State of New Hampshire -- and a decrease in
administrative expenses of $17,032 due to a decrease in shareholder expenses and
consulting fees as a result of the buyback of Depositary Receipts in 1993.
10
<PAGE>
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $51,826, compared
to $88,345 for the year ended December 31, 1993, a decrease of $36,519. This
decrease is due to a decrease in funds available for investment.
In 1988, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with an existing
tenant at the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center in Gardner, Massachusetts. Under the
terms of the agreement, the two have relet the space which the existing tenant
previously occupied and will divide the net profits from leasing this space. The
Partnership's investment in the Timpany Plaza joint venture represents less than
1% of the Partnership's assets. The Partnership's share of income for 1994 in
the joint venture at the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center was $42,745, compared to
$25,192 in 1993. This increase of $17,553 is due to an increase in the
supplemental rents and the common area charges in 1994.
The Partnership has reported other income of $130,000, of which $100,000
represents the cost of energy-saving devices installed at the Partnership
properties by utility companies, at no cost to the Partnership. The additional
$30,000 represents the elimination of a provision for estimated liabilities in
connection with the Partnership's investment in a limited partnership.
As a result of the changes discussed above, net income for the year ended
December 31, 1994 was $1,072,551, compared to $1,140,015 in 1993, a decrease of
$67,464.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership's principal source of cash during 1995 and 1994 was the
collection of rents and refinancing of Partnership properties. The majority of
cash and cash equivalents, which totaled $2,706,124 in 1995, is principally
invested in a U.S. government money market account. This amount represents an
increase of $1,709,771 from 1994. Additionally, the partnership has a short-term
investment of $48,887 at December 31, 1995 compared to $45,555 at December 31,
1994. This investment consisted of a certificate of deposit with a maturity of
up to one year from the date of purchase.
The Partnership believes it strengthened its portfolio by making significant
acquisitions of residential and mixed-use properties in 1995. During the year,
the Partnership acquired six properties for a total purchase price of
approximately $32,123,000. The acquisitions were financed by new mortgages on
the acquired properties totalling $23,956,000. Additional funds, totaling
$22,446,000 were provided by 13 mortgages on refinanced or debt-free properties.
Approximately $10,900,000 of this amount was used to repay existing mortgages
and approximately $11,546,000 was used in the acquisition of the above
properties. In conjunction with these mortgages, the lender required that
separate escrow accounts totaling approximately $870,000 be established to fund
capital improvements at each of the properties. The Partnership is required to
make additional monthly payments of approximately $34,000 to fund these escrow
accounts. Approximately $60,000 was expended from these accounts during the
later half of 1995, and the remaining balance of $980,000 is included with Other
Assets. In connection with these new mortgages, a substantial number of the
Partnership's properties were restructured into separate Subsidiary
Partnerships.
During 1995, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships completed
certain capital improvements to their properties at a total cost of
approximately $1,200,000. The improvements were funded from the aforementioned
escrow accounts as well as from cash reserves. The most significant improvements
were made at the Lewiston Mall in Lewiston, Maine for a total cost of
approximately $353,000. Additional capital improvements of approximately
$150,000, $130,000, and $71,000, were made to apartments at the Boylston
Downtown, Westgate, Woburn and Linhart properties respectively.
In 1996, the Partnership and its Subsididary Partnerships plan to invest an
additional $1,600,000 in capital improvements of which $1,300,000 is designated
for residential properties and $300,000 is designated for commercial properties.
These improvements will be funded from escrow accounts as well as from cash
reserves.
11
<PAGE>
The Partnership anticipates that cash from operations and interest-bearing
investments will be sufficient to fund its current operations and to finance
current improvements to its properties. The Partnership's net income and cash
flow may fluctuate dramatically from year to year as a result of sale of
properties, unanticipated increases in expenses, or a loss of significant
tenants.
Since the Partnership's long-term goals include the acquisition of
additional properties, a portion of the proceeds from the refinancing and sale
of properties is reserved for this purpose. The Partnership will consider
refinancing existing properties if either insufficient funds exist from cash
reserves to repay existing mortgages or if funds required for future
acquisitions are not available.

ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
The General Partner is a Massachusetts corporation wholly owned by Harold
Brown and Ronald Brown. Harold Brown and Ronald Brown were individual general
partners of the Partnership until May 1984 when NewReal, Inc. replaced them as
the sole general partner of the Partnership. The General Partner is responsible
for making all decisions and taking all action deemed by it necessary or
appropriate to conduct the business of the Partnership.
Since October 1992, the General Partner employed the Hamilton Partnership as
the management company to manage the Partnership's and its Subsidiary
Partnerships' properties. The Hamilton Company Inc., a Massachusetts
corporation, is the 99% general partner of Hamilton Partnership. The Hamilton
Company Inc. was purchased by Harold Brown in August 1993. Harold Brown also
owns the corporation that is the 1% limited partner of the Hamilton Partnership.
See "ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION" for information concerning fees paid by
the Partnership to the Hamilton Partnership during 1995.
Because the General Partner has employed the Hamilton Partnership as the
manager for the Properties, the General Partner has no other employees other
than Harold Brown and Ronald Brown.
The directors and executive officers of the General Partner are Ronald Brown
and Harold Brown. Harold Brown and Ronald Brown are brothers. The directors of
the General Partner hold office until their successors are duly elected and
qualified. The executive officers of the General Partner serve at the pleasure
of the Board of Directors.

See "ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS" for information concerning various
proceedings in which Harold Brown was previously involved. As discussed under
"ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS,"
in June 1994 the Partnership repurchased certain Partnership Units from each of
Harold Brown, Ronald Brown and the General Partner, and the repurchase of these
units was reported by each of Harold Brown and Ronald Brown on a Form 5 for
1994.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner, or any
management entity employed by the General Partner, is entitled to a management
fee equal to 4% of the rental and other operating income from the Properties and
a mortgage servicing fee equal to 0.5% of the unpaid principal balance of any
debt instruments received, held and serviced by the Partnership (the "Management
Fee"). The Partnership Agreement also authorizes the General Partner to charge
to the Partnership its cost for employing professionals to assist with the
administration of the Partnership Properties (the "Administrative Fee"). The
Administrative Fee is not charged against the Management Fee. In addition, upon
the sale or disposition of any Partnership Properties, the General Partner, or
any management entity which is the effective cause of such sale, is entitled to
a commission equal to 3% of the gross sale price (the "Commission"), provided
that should any other broker be entitled to a commission in connection with the
sale, the commission shall be the difference between 3% of the gross sale price
and the amount to be paid to such broker.
In accordance with the Partnership Agreement, the Management Fee, the
Administrative Fee and the Commission are paid to the management company, the
Hamilton Partnership, a limited partnership owned indirectly by Harold Brown.
See "ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT." The total
Management Fee charged by the Hamilton Partnership during 1995 was $522,842. In
1995, the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnerships also paid to the Hamilton
Partnership Administrative Fees of approximately $181,000. No commission was
paid to the management companies in 1995. In addition, during 1995 the
Partnership paid to the Hamilton Partnership $30,000 for certain accounting
services, which were provided by an outside company prior to 1993.
13
<PAGE>
During 1995, the management company also charged the Partnership and its
Subsidiary Partnerships a construction supervisory fee of approximately $50,000
for services rendered to the Partnership and its Subsidiary Partnership in
connection with renovations and additions to certain properties.
The management services provided by the Hamilton Partnership include, but
are not limited to, collecting rents and other income, approving, ordering and
supervising all repairs and other decorations, terminating leases, evicting
tenants, purchasing supplies and equipment, financing and refinancing
properties, settling insurance claims, maintaining administrative offices and
employing personnel.
Members of the Partnership's Advisory Committee and Ronald Brown and Harold
Brown receive $200 for each committee meeting attended. The Advisory Committee
held six meetings during 1995. In addition, in each of 1995 and 1994, the
Partnership paid the Hamilton Partnership a construction supervision fee of
$14,400 of which $12,000 was paid to Ronald Brown.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
As of March 14, 1996, except as listed below, the General Partner was not
aware of any beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding Class A Units
or the Depositary Receipts, other than The First National Bank of Boston, which
under the Deposit Agreement, as Depositary, is the record holder of the Class A
Units exchanged for Depositary Receipts. As of March 14, 1996, pursuant to the
Deposit Agreement, The First National Bank of Boston was serving as the record
holder of the Class A Units with respect to which 1,067,329 Depositary Receipts
had been issued to 1,743 holders. As of March 14, 1996, there were issued and
outstanding 34,765 Class A Units held by 1,566 limited partners and 33,756 Class
B Units and 1,777 General Partnership Units held by the persons listed below.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding each class of
Partnership Units beneficially owned on March 14, 1996 by (i) each person known
by the Partnership to beneficially own more than 5% of any class of Partnership
Units, (ii) each director and officer of the General Partner and (iii) all
directors and officers of the General Partner as a group. The inclusion in the
table below of
14

- ------------------------
(1) 2,000 Depositary Receipts are held of record by Harold Brown and 61,094
Depositary Receipts are held of record by the NERA 1994 Irrevocable Trust
(the "Trust"), a grantor trust established by Harold Brown. The
beneficiaries of the Trust are trusts for the benefit of children of Mr.
Brown. During his lifetime, Mr. Brown is entitled to receive the income from
the Trust and has the right to reacquire the Depositary Receipts held by the
Trust provided that substitute assets are transferred to the Trust.
Accordingly, Mr. Brown may be deemed to beneficially own the Depositary
Receipts held by the Trust. Because a Depositary Receipt represents
beneficial ownership of one-tenth of a Class A Unit, Harold Brown may be
deemed to beneficially own approximately 6,309 Class A Units and the Trust
may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 6,109 Class A Units. Mr.
Brown currently has no voting or investment power over the Depositary
Receipts held by the Trust and disclaims beneficial ownership of such
Depositary Receipts. Luci Daley Vincent and Robert Somma, as trustees of the
Trust (the "Trustees"), share voting and investment power over the
Depositary Receipts held by the Trust, subject to the provisions of the
Trust, and thus may each be deemed to beneficially own the 61,094 Depositary
Receipts held by the Trust. The Trustees have no pecuniary interest in the
Depositary Receipts held by the Trust and disclaim beneficial ownership of
such Depositary Receipts.

<PAGE>
(2) Consists of Class B Units held by the Trust. See Note (1) above. Harold
Brown currently has no voting or investment power over the Class B Units
held by the Trust and disclaims beneficial ownership of such Class B Units.
The Trustees share voting and investment power over the Class B Units held
by the Trust, subject to the provisions of the Trust, and thus may each be
deemed to beneficially own the 25,317 Class B Units held by the Trust. The
Trustees have no pecuniary interest in the Class B Units held by the Trust
and disclaim beneficial ownership of such Class B Units.
(3) Since Harold Brown and Ronald Brown are the controlling stockholders,
executive officers and directors of NewReal, Inc., they may be deemed to
beneficially own all 1,777 of the General Partnership Units held of record
by NewReal, Inc.
(4) Consists of 7,548 Depositary Receipts held of record jointly by Ronald Brown
and his wife. Because a Depositary Receipt represents beneficial ownership
of one-tenth of a Class A Unit, Ronald Brown may be deemed to beneficially
own approximately 755 Class A Units.
(5) Consists of the Class A Units described in Notes (1) and (4) above.
(6) Includes the Class B Units described in Note (2) above.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
With the exception of the Riverside Apartments, which was owned by the
Partnership prior to the conversion of that complex into condominiums, all of
the buildings in which the Condominium Units are located were developed or
partially owned by Harold Brown, together, in certain instances, with Ronald
Brown. In addition, certain Subsidiary Partnerships purchased certain properties
in 1995 from entities in which Harold Brown had a substantial equity interest.
In each case, the General Partner believes that the Partnership and its
Subsidiary Partnerships acquired the Condominium Units and the other properties
purchased in 1995 at prices not in excess of fair market value.
In 1995, Harold Brown, through an entity in which he is the majority
shareholder, loaned the Partnership $1,175,000 to purchase certain property. The
loan was repaid in May, 1995 with interest a the rates from 8.5% to 9%. Total
interest paid on the loan was $38,073.
In addition, Harold Brown is a limited partner in each of the partnerships
which own the Investment Properties, as well as a general partner in one of the
partnerships which owns the Investment Properties. Set forth below are Harold
Brown's interests in the real estate partnerships which own the Investment
Properties:

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Partners
New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of New England
Realty Associates Limited Partnership and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1995
and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' capital and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of New England Realty
Associates Limited Partnership and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years
in the three year period ended December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, in 1995 the
Partnership adopted the method of accounting for impairment of long-lived assets
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
LINE OF BUSINESS: New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership ("NERA"
or the "Partnership") was organized in Massachusetts during 1977. NERA and its
subsidiaries own and operate various residential apartment buildings,
condominium units, and commercial properties located in Massachusetts,
Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Maine. NERA has also made investments in other
real estate partnerships and has participated in other real estate-related
activities, primarily located in Massachusetts. In connection with the new
mortgages referred to in Note 5, a substantial number of NERA's properties were
restructured into separate limited partnerships. The financial statements for
prior periods are unchanged.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of NERA and its subsidiary partnerships each of which is owned
99.67%; the consolidated group is referred to as the "Partnerships." Minority
interests are not recorded since they are insignificant. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The
Partnership accounts for its investment in the joint venture on the equity
method.
ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES: The preparation of the financial statements is in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requiring
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reported period.
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Certain leases of the commercial properties provide
for increasing stepped minimum rents, which are accounted for on a straight-line
basis over the term of the lease.
RENTAL PROPERTIES: Rental properties are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred;
improvements and additions are capitalized. When assets are retired or otherwise
disposed of, the cost of the asset and related accumulated depreciation is
eliminated from the accounts, and any gain or loss on such disposition is
included in income. Rental properties are depreciated on the straight-line
method over their estimated useful lives. In the event that facts and
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of rental properties may be
impaired, an analysis of recoverability is performed. The estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are compared to the asset's carrying value to determine
if a write-down to fair value or discounted cash flow value is required. This
policy was adopted in 1995. Previously, impairment was considered on a
case-by-case basis. See Note 2 for the effect of this accounting change.
FINANCING AND LEASING FEES: Financing fees are capitalized and amortized,
using the interest method, over the life of the related mortages. Leasing fees
are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the
related lease.
INCOME TAXES: The financial statements have been prepared under the basis
that NERA and its subsidiaries are entitled to tax treatment as partnerships.
Accordingly, no provision for income taxes on income has been recorded.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Partnerships consider cash equivalents to be all
highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS: The Partnerships consider short-term investments to
be any bank certificates of deposit, Treasury obligations, or commercial paper
with initial maturities between three and twelve months. These investments are
considered to be trading account securities and are carried at fair value.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The Partnerships'
tenants are located in New England, and the Partnerships are subject to the
general economic risks related thereto. No single tenant accounted for more than
5% of the Partnerships' revenues in 1995, 1994, or 1993.

NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 1 -- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Partnerships make their temporary cash investments with high credit quality
financial institutions or purchase money market accounts invested in U.S.
Government securities. At December 31, 1995, approximately $2,169,000 of cash
and cash equivalents exceeded federally insured amounts of which $1,811,000 was
held in a money market fund invested in U.S. Goverment securities.

On June 30, 1995, the Partnerships purchased for $30,198,000 five properties
containing an aggregate of 809 residential apartments and 18,400 square feet of
commercial space. The purchase was paid for in part with the proceeds of the
refinancing of thirteen of the Partnerships' properties and the issuance of new
mortgage notes payable aggregating $22,627,000 and maturing in ten years. The
properties were acquired from a trust owned nominally by the majority
shareholder of NERA's General Partner. In substance, the properties were owned
by the trust's secured lender under a previous restructuring agreement whereby
the lender received all of the operating income from the properties as well as
the proceeds from the sale to NERA. The Partnerships have recorded the purchase
at the amount paid for the properties and have allocated the amounts to the
individual properties acquired. An entity owned by the majority shareholder of
the Partnership's General Partner received a fee of $300,000 from the trust's
secured lender.
Included in rental properties at December 31, 1995 is a building in Newton,
Massachusetts acquired by the Partnership on January 25, 1995. The building
consists of 21,223 square feet of commercial space, 9 residential units, and 29
parking spaces for a total purchase price of $1,925,000. This building was
acquired from an entity in which the majority shareholder of NERA's General
Partner had a substantial ownership interest. The Partnership's management
company received a fee of approximately $11,000 from the seller in this
transaction. To facilitate this acquisition, the Partnership's management
company, an entity owned by the majority shareholder of NERA's General Partner,
loaned the Partnership $1,175,000 in December 1994. In May 1995, the Partnership
refinanced

this property and obtained a $1,329,000 mortgage payable in 10 years with
interest at 9.25%, and paid off the existing loan of $1,175,000 to the
management company. Total interest paid on this loan was $38,073.
The operating results of these acquired properties have been included in the
consolidated statements of operations since the date of acquisition. The
following unaudited proforma results assume the acquisition occurred at the
beginning of 1994, and is based upon historical amounts adjusted for changes in

for per unit amounts):

at January 1, 1994 nor are these results necessarily indicative of future
operating results.
In 1995, the Partnership sold two condominium units located in Stoneham and
Boston, Massachusetts. The sales price, net of closing costs, was $219,706 and
the gain of $152,463 is included in Other Income.
In the fourth quarter of 1995, the Partnerships recorded a special charge of
$3,250,000 relating to the early adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121 (FAS No. 121) on accounting for the impairment of long-lived
assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This
statement requires that long-lived assets held and used by the entity be
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. During 1995, the
Lewiston Mall with a carrying value of approximately $8,200,000 was remortgaged
for $2,933,000. As part of this refinancing , the lender obtained an appraisal
of $5,000,000. A further analysis of estimated future cash flows as required by
FAS No. 121 indicated an impairment. The carrying value of the Lewiston Mall has
been reduced to the net present value of expected future cash flows, which
approximates the aforementioned appraisal. Similiar analysis of the other
properties did not result in impairment.

NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Partnerships' properties are managed by an entity which is owned by the
majority shareholder of the General Partner (see Note 11). The management fee is
equal to 4% of rental revenue and laundry income. Total fees paid were $522,842,
$339,668, and $336,592 in 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively. Advance rental
payments and security deposits are held in escrow by the management company (see
Note 6). The management company also receives a mortgage servicing fee equal to
an annual rate of 1/2% of the monthly outstanding balance of mortgages
receivable resulting from the sale of property. There were no mortgage servicing
fees paid in 1995, 1994, and 1993.
The Partnership Agreement also permits the General Partner or management
company to charge the costs of professional services (such as counsel,
accountants, contractors) to NERA. In 1995, 1994, and 1993 approximately
$231,000, $130,000, and $146,000 was charged to NERA for legal, maintenance, and
architectural services, and supervision of capital improvements. Approximately
$50,000, $74,000, and $62,000 was capitalized in 1995, 1994, and 1993 in
leasehold improvements, and the balance of $181,000, $56,000, and $84,000 was
included in administrative expense. Additionally in 1995, 1994, and 1993, the
Partnership paid to the management company $30,000, $30,000, and $26,050
respectively for accounting services previously provided by an outside company.
F-11

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 3 -- RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The Partnership Agreement entitles the General Partner or a management
company to receive certain commissions upon the sale of Partnership property
only to the extent that total commissions do not exceed 3%. No such commissions
were paid in 1995, 1994, or 1993.
Included in prepaid expenses and other assets were amounts due from related
parties of $366,258 and $55,582 at December 31, 1995 and 1994 respectively,
representing Massachusetts tenant security and prepaid rent deposits, which are
held for the Partnerships by another entity also owned by one of the
shareholders of the General Partner (see Note 6).
Also included in prepaid expenses and other assets is an insurance reserve
account funded by the Partnerships and held by the management company. The
insurance reserve includes funds from other properties which are also owned by
the related parties. The balance in the reserve was $105,924 and $39,430 at
December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 respectively.
See Note 9 for rental arrangements with the Timpany Plaza joint venture.
As described in Note 4, the Partnership has interests in certain entities in
which the majority shareholder of the General Partner is also involved.
See Note 2 for fees paid to related parties by the sellers of the
Partnerships' 1995 acquisitions.
NOTE 4 -- OTHER ASSETS
The short-term investment, totalling $48,877 at December 31, 1995 and
$45,555 at December 31, 1994, is carried at cost which approximates fair value.
Such investment at December 31, 1995 is a 6.16% certificate of deposit maturing
in February 1996. The issuer and amount of this investment is as follows:

</TABLE>
Included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets at December 31, 1995, is
approximately $980,000 held in escrow to pay for future capital improvements.
(see Note 5).
The carrying value of the Partnership's 50% interest in the Timpany Plaza
Joint Venture, at equity, is $129,989 and $165,340 at December 31, 1995 and
December 31, 1994 respectively.
The Partnership owns a 10% ownership interest in these real estate
partnerships accounted for by the equity method and reduced to a carrying value
of zero. Losses in excess of cost in limited partnerships have not been recorded
as the Partnership is not liable for such amounts. NERA recorded a $30,000
provision in 1990 representing the estimated liabilities allocable to NERA in
those partnerships where NERA was a General Partner. No amounts were paid, and
this amount was eliminated and included in Other Income in 1994. During the
fourth quarter of 1995, the real estate owned by another partnership in which
NERA had a 10% ownership interest was sold for less than the mortgage debt.
Accordingly, NERA did not receive proceeds from this sale.
The majority shareholder of the General Partner is also the majority owner
of these partnerships (see Note 11). There can be no assurance that any of
NERA's partnership investments will be realizable in the future in excess of
their carrying value.
NOTE 5 -- MORTGAGES PAYABLE
At December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 the mortgages payable consisted
of various loans, substantially all of which were secured by first mortgages on
properties referred to in Note 2, with
F-12
<PAGE>
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 5 -- MORTGAGES PAYABLE (CONTINUED)
interest ranging from 8.25% to 10.99%, payable in monthly installments currently
aggregating approximately $431,000, including interest, to various dates through
2005. Although the loans mature within ten years, they are being amortized on a
basis between 25 and 27.5 years. The carrying amounts of the Partnerships'
mortgages payable approximate their fair value.
The Partnerships have pledged tenant leases as additional collateral for
certain of their mortgages.
Approximate annual maturities are as follows:

At the inception of the new mortgages described in Note 2, escrow accounts
of approximately $870,000 were established to fund projected capital
improvements. Additional payments of approximately $34,000 are paid monthly. As
the improvements are made, funds are used from these escrow accounts.
NOTE 6 -- ADVANCE RENTAL PAYMENTS AND SECURITY DEPOSITS
The lease agreements for certain properties require tenants to maintain a
one-month advance rental payment plus security deposits. The funds are held in
escrow by another entity owned by the majority shareholder of the General
Partner (see Notes 3 and 11).
NOTE 7 -- PARTNERS' CAPITAL
The Partnership has two categories of limited partners (Classes A and B) and
one category of General Partner (General Partner). Under the terms of the
Partnership Agreement, Class B units and General Partnership units must
represent 19% and 1% respectively of the total units outstanding. All classes
have equal profit-sharing and distribution rights in proportion to their
ownership interests.
The Partnership declared distributions of $6.80 per unit in 1995, 1994, and
1993.
The Partnership has entered into a deposit agreement with a bank to
facilitate public trading of limited partners' interests in Class A units.
Under the terms of this agreement, the holders of Class A units have the
right to exchange each Class A unit for ten Depositary Receipts. The following
is information on the net income (loss) per Depositary Receipt:

purchased at $5 per receipt. During 1994 and 1993, Class A, B, and General
Partnership units were restored to the required percentage relationship
mentioned above by the purchase of Class B units and General Partnership units
at $50 per unit ($5 per Depositary Receipt).
NOTE 8 -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, the Partnerships are involved in various ordinary routine
litigation incidental to their business. The Partnerships are not involved in
any material pending legal proceedings.
NOTE 9 -- RENTAL INCOME
In 1995, approximately 80% of rental income is related to residential
apartment and condominium units with leases of one year or less. The remaining
20% is related to commercial properties which have minimum future rental income
on noncancellable operating leases as follows:

</TABLE>
In August 1988, the Partnership entered into a land lease agreement with an
existing tenant of the Timpany Plaza Shopping Center in Gardner, Massachusetts.
As part of this lease, the tenant, at its cost, demolished approximately
one-third of the mall and replaced it with a new store of comparable size. The
minimum fixed term of this lease is for 20 years which commenced with the
opening of the new store in December 1989.
The minimum annual rents are $110,000 per year for the first five years,
increasing each subsequent five-year period, with the average being $137,500 per
year for the minimum twenty-year term. Included in rents receivable at December
31, 1995 and 1994 is $158,000 and $137,500 respectively, representing the
deferred rental income from this lease. There are also contingent rents based
upon sales volume, common area maintenance, and other charges. This lease also
provides for six extension periods of five years each at increased rents. The
minimum rents pertaining to this agreement are reflected in the foregoing table.
The ownership of this new building addition transfers to the Partnership at
the termination of the lease. Accordingly, the Partnership included in property
assets approximately $1,400,000 of book value of the demolished building
allocable to the Partnership leasehold interest and is depreciating this amount
on a straight-line basis over a twenty-year period.
Concurrently, the Partnership entered into a joint venture with this same
tenant relating to the space formerly leased by the tenant. Under this
arrangement, the two parties have agreed to relet the space and divide the net
income or loss after paying to the Partnership an annual minimum rent of
$84,546. The Partnership's share of income was $28,904, $42,745, and $25,192 for
the years ended 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.
F-14

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
NEW ENGLAND REALTY ASSOCIATES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTE 9 -- RENTAL INCOME (CONTINUED)
The aggregate minimum future rental income does not include contingent
rentals which may be received under various leases in connection with percentage
rents, common area charges, and real estate taxes. Aggregate contingent rentals
were approximately $730,613, $792,510, and $982,000 for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively.
NOTE 10 -- CASH FLOW INFORMATION
During the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, cash paid for
interest was $3,461,577, $1,670,695, and $1,605,329 respectively.
In 1994, non-cash investing activities included $100,000 of building
improvements contributed by utility companies (see Note 13).
NOTE 11 -- BANKRUPTCY OF RELATED PARTIES
As described in Notes 3, 4, and 6, the Partnerships had transactions with
and have interests in certain entities in which the majority shareholder of the
General Partner is involved. Such shareholder had guaranteed certain notes
receivable and had agreed to indemnify the Partnerships for losses incurred from
certain partnerships in which NERA is a General Partner. During March 1991, this
shareholder, the Partnerships' management company, and other related entities
filed for protection from their creditors under Chapter 11 of the Federal
Bankruptcy Code.
In September 1992, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirmed a reorganization plan
pursuant to which this shareholder was discharged of all liabilities, including
all guarantees and indemnifications, and emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings.
The management of the Partnership believes that the proceedings described
above will not adversely affect the Partnerships' properties or operations.
NOTE 12 -- TAX BASIS
Taxable income reportable by the Partners is different than book income
because of accelerated depreciation, different tax lives for some properties,
impairment losses, and the inclusion, for tax purposes, of the profits or losses
