PART I
------
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
- ------
Organization
- ------------
Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") was formed
on April 26, 1990 and commenced operations on June 27, 1991, as an equity real
estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company's several wholly-owned qualifying
REIT subsidiaries have been formed in connection with multi-family asset
acquisitions and financings. On June 4, 1991 at a special meeting, the
Unitholders of Krupp Cash Plus-III Limited Partnership and Krupp Cash Plus-IV
Limited Partnership (collectively the "Participating Cash Plus Partnerships")
voted in favor of and agreed to participate in an exchange (the "Exchange") with
the Company. On June 27, 1991, the Company, a Delaware corporation, exchanged
25,097,923 of its Shares for the assets, subject to the liabilities, of the
Participating Cash Plus Partnerships. The Participating Cash Plus Partnerships
then distributed the Shares received in the Exchange to their respective
investors and the Participating Cash Plus Partnerships were then dissolved.
In 1995, the Company was restructured to an umbrella partnership real
estate investment trust ("UPREIT"). On May 1, 1995, the Company's assets,
subject to its liabilities, were transferred to a newly formed subsidiary
("Operating Partnership") of which the Company is the general partner and
currently 88.15% owner. Upon transfer of its net assets, the Company was issued
25,392,452 units of the Operating Partnership ("Units") which was equal to the
number of Shares outstanding on May 1, 1995.
To permit the organization of the Operating Partnership, on May 1, 1995 an
affiliate of Berkshire Realty Advisor Limited Partnership ("Advisor"),
contributed $5,000 and The River Oaks Apartments subject to mortgage debt of
$5.4 million on May 1, 1995 at a valuation of $10,500,000 approved by the
independent members of the Board of Directors. The seller received 534,975 Units
for its interest ("Minority Interest") in the Operating Partnership in exchange
for the property. Under the agreement, the Company may not sell the River Oaks
Apartments for a period of three years following the closing date. The
contribution was accounted for using the purchase method. The River Oaks is a
17-story, 136-unit, multi-family complex located in the exclusive River Oaks
area of Houston, Texas.
On March 1, 1996 the Company acquired, via contribution, certain assets of
the entity providing advisory and development services to the Company (the
"Advisor Transaction") of Berkshire Companies Limited Partnership, in exchange
for 1,300,000 Units of the Operating Partnership. The transaction was valued at
$13 million (based on a $10.00 per share price) and has been recorded as the
acquisition of a workforce and other intangible assets. Additional Units, up to
a total of $7.2 million, may be issued to the transferor during a six-year
period if certain Share price benchmarks are achieved. (See Note C to the
Consolidated Financial Statements). The Units are convertible only upon
shareholder approval. This transaction enabled the Company to eliminate fees
previously incurred by the Company for asset management, acquisition and
disposition functions. The Company outsourced with affiliates of certain
directors and officers for certain administrative services such as shareholder
relations, computer systems and support, and legal services.
Besides becoming self-administered, the Board of Directors and management
determined that the Company should become self-managed. After year-end, on
February 26, 1997, based on the recommendation of a Special Committee of the
Independent Directors, the Board approved the acquisition of certain assets of
the affiliate which provides multifamily property management services to the
Company for 1,700,000 Units in the Operating Partnership. The transaction was
valued at $17.6 million (based on a $10.375 per share price), closed on February
28, 1997, and will be recorded as the acquisition of third-party management
contracts and the acquisition of a workforce.

<PAGE>
The Company has an infinite life, however the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, requires the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board") to prepare and submit a Plan of Liquidation to the Shareholders on or
before December 31, 1998. The Plan of Liquidation would become effective if
approved by Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares then outstanding.
Based upon current market conditions, management does not believe that it is
likely the shareholders would liquidate the Company. The Company is operating
under the assumption it will remain a going concern indefinitely.
Company Purpose
- ---------------
The purpose of the Company is to create value for shareholders through
skillful acquisition, development, rehabilitation and operation of apartment
communities. Providing residents a high quality living experience through
superior service-driven management is imperative to the Company's success.
Business Strategy
- -----------------
The Company continues its focus as a growth oriented equity REIT
specializing in the ownership and operation of quality apartment communities.
The Company is committed to maintaining a balance between prudent geographic
diversification and specific market specialization by limiting operations to a
specific group of carefully selected markets. While the Company primarily
invests in equity interests in real estate, it has also invested in multi-family
mortgage loans with the potential for subsequent ownership of the underlying
property.
The Company targets five regions to operate its multi-family communities:
Georgia/Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, Texas and the Maryland/D.C. area. The
Company has regional offices in these regions in order to provide our residents
with quality service.
The Company's business plan objectives are to increase shareholder returns
by a) improving the profitability of the existing real estate portfolio by
maximizing cash flows through higher occupancies, rent increases, low tenant
turnover and control of operating expenses, b) providing high quality services
and a superior living experience to our residents which meets market
requirements and the needs of residents, c) prudently acquiring and developing
quality apartment communities which provide a solid current return with
potential for increased cash flow through growth in occupancy and rental rates,
and d) selling properties if their retention will no longer contribute to the
achievement of the above-mentioned goals. In addition, the Company may implement
programs of expansion and renovation of any property to increase cash flow
growth and appreciation potential.
While Berkshire's long term plan is to hold its properties and increase
earnings, there are four reasons management will recommend a sale: 1) when a
property with a low yield potential can be sold with the proceeds reinvested at
a significantly higher yield; 2) when profit margins of a property are judged
too low and can be replaced by another property with better operating leverage;
3) when a property is the only property owned in a market in which the Company
does not plan to expand, or 4) when a specific market is judged to be going into
decline.
Financing Strategy
- ------------------
The Company's policy is to limit debt (including debt under lines of
credit) to 50% of the estimated fair value of assets. This prudent level of debt
should insure that debt service requirements are adequately funded with
operating cash flows.
The Company may seek additional capital through additional equity
offerings, debt offerings or retention of cash flows, or a combination thereof.
The net proceeds of any capital offering will be contributed to the Operating
Partnership in exchange for Units in the Operating Partnership. The Company may
also issue senior securities such as preferred stock or debt securities, which
may be
-3-
<PAGE>
convertible to stock. Additionally, the Company will continue to finance, when
possible, the acquisition of apartment communities in exchange for Operating
Partnership Units.
Other Matters
- -------------
The Company's real estate investments are subject to some seasonal
fluctuations resulting from changes in utility consumption and seasonal
maintenance expenditures. Future performance of the Company may be impacted by
unpredictable factors which include general and local economic and real estate
market conditions, variable interest rates, environmental concerns, energy
costs, government regulations and federal and state income tax laws. The
requirements for compliance with federal, state and local regulations to date
have not had an adverse effect on the Company's operations, and no adverse
effects are anticipated in the future.
Real estate assets and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of", impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations on a
property by property basis, when events and circumstances indicate that the
assets might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be
generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets.
Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, those assets shall be
reduced to fair value.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded $12 million in provisions
for losses on the wholly-owned and joint venture retail assets as a result of
the Company's strategic decision to divest of its retail portfolio over time and
redeploy proceeds in multifamily assets. In the third quarter of 1996, the
Company began actively marketing four of its wholly-owned retail centers, one of
which was sold in December 1996. As a result of these efforts, the Company has
reclassified these centers to assets held for sale and has recorded a provision
for losses of $4.2 million which represents the difference between carrying
value and estimated fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation will no longer be
recorded on these assets.
A fifth retail center, which is not currently for sale had a significant
lease restructuring during the third quarter of 1996. As a result of this
situation, the Company has recorded a provision for a loss of $3.3 million which
represents the difference between carrying value and estimated fair value.
Depreciation will be calculated on the adjusted book value of this asset.
Finally, one of the Company's joint venture investments, Brookwood Village,
recorded a $9 million provision for loss, of which $4.5 million represents the
Company's pro-rata share of the provision.
Employees
- ---------
At December 31, 1996, the Company had 704 employees.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. PROPERTY
- ------
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had investments in 41 properties in 9
states consisting of 35 apartment communities having in the aggregate 12,435
units and 6 retail centers with a total of 1,568,811 square feet of leasable
space. Two of the retail centers are owned through joint ventures with
affiliates of the Company. In addition, the Company owns a mortgage loan
collateralized by a multi-family apartment complex located in Florida, two
development projects located in Greenville, South Carolina and Mauldin, South
Carolina totaling 296 units and 96 units, respectively, and two parcels of land
for future development located in Durham, North Carolina, and Dallas, Texas.
Schedule III and IV and Notes D, E and F to the Consolidated Financial
Statements included in Appendix A to this report contain additional detailed
information with respect to individual assets.
The Company's apartment communities and three of the wholly-owned retail
centers have been pledged as collateral for various debt incurred by the
Company.
The following table summarizes the Company's real estate investments at
December 31, 1996 and also sets forth the aggregate number of apartment units
and the amount of current leasable commercial square footage by geographic

Exchange provided that the Company issue three million stock warrants to the
plaintiff class. Upon exercise, each stock warrant entitles the holder to the
right to acquire one share of common stock of the Company. For further
information see Note T to Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statement included

The Company's practice is to review and declare its dividend quarterly, and
to establish a dividend rate that is supportable by funds from operations, after
considering capital expenditures necessary for the maintenance of the real
estate investments. On February 6, 1997, the Board approved a dividend of $.225
per Share payable on May 15, 1997 to the Shareholders of record on May 1, 1997.
The Company is authorized to repurchase or otherwise acquire Shares in the
open market or in negotiated transactions if the Board determines such actions
are in the best interest of the Company and of the Shareholders. Through
December 31, 1992, the Company had purchased a total of 506,497 shares for
approximately $1,743,075, inclusive of brokerage commissions. No shares have
been repurchased since that time.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- ------ OF OPERATIONS
A. Overview and Organization:
--------------------------
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
The Company is a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") whose operations
consist primarily of the acquisition, development, rehabilitation and management
of apartment communities located in the Southeast and Texas. As of December 31,
1996, the Company owns 35 apartment communities consisting of 12,435 units and
also has investments in six retail centers, two of which are held in joint
venture investments. Over the next two to three years, the Company expects the
retail properties will be marketed for sale and subsequently replaced with
multi-family properties. The Company also has approximately 320 multifamily
units under development.
UPREIT Reorganization:
----------------------
The Company reorganized as an Umbrella Partnership ("UPREIT") on May 1,
1995 whereby the Company contributed substantially all of its assets subject to
all liabilities to BRI OP Limited Partnership ("Operating Partnership") in which
the Company is General Partner. In addition, on May 1, 1995, George and Douglas
Krupp and other minority investors in GN Limited Partnership contributed River
Oaks Apartments in exchange for 534,975 units ("Units") in the Operating
Partnership. The Units are convertible to shares only upon shareholder approval.
The purpose of becoming an UPREIT is to allow the Company to offer Units in the
underlying Operating Partnership in exchange for assets from tax-motivated
sellers. Under certain circumstances, the exchange of Operating Partnership
Units for a seller's assets will defer the tax liability associated with the
sale. Effectively, this allows the Company to use Operating Partnership Units
instead of stock or cash to acquire properties which provides an advantage over
non-UPREIT entities.
Advisor Transaction:
--------------------
Until early 1996, the Company was advised by Berkshire Realty Advisors
("Advisor"), an affiliate of certain directors and officers of the Company,
including George and Douglas Krupp. The Board of Directors determined that it
was in the best interest of the shareholders to become self-advised. Therefore,
on February 28, 1996, the Board, acting on the recommendation of a Special
Committee comprised of the Independent Directors, approved the acquisition, via
contribution, of the workforce and other assets of the Advisor in exchange for
1,300,000 Units of the Operating Partnership. The contribution was completed on
March 1, 1996. As of that date, all charges and expenses associated with the
Advisory Services Agreement ceased and the Company became a self-administered
REIT.
In conjunction with the Advisor Transaction, additional Units, up to a
total of $7.2 million in value, may be issued to the former Advisor during a six
year period if certain Share price benchmarks are achieved. (See Note C to
Consolidated Financial Statements.) As of December 31, 1996, no additional Units
have been issued.
The value of the transaction was based on 1,300,000 Units at a share price
of $10, or $13 million, which together with related costs, was recorded as an
intangible asset associated with the workforce acquired and is being amortized
on a straight-line method over a 10-year period.

<PAGE>
Property Management Transaction:
--------------------------------
Besides becoming self-administered, the Board of Directors and management
determined that the Company should become self-managed. On February 26, 1997,
based on the recommendation of a Special Committee of the Independent Directors,
the Board approved the acquisition of the third-party management contracts,
workforce and other assets of the affiliate which provides multifamily property
management services to the Company for 1,700,000 Units in the Operating
Partnership. The transaction was valued at $17.6 million (based on a $10.375 per
share price) which closed on February 28, 1997, and will be recorded as
third-party property management contracts and the acquisition of a workforce and
other assets.
The acquired property manager manages 57 multifamily assets, 35 of which
are the Company's and the remainder are primarily owned by affiliated
partnerships of certain officers and directors. By becoming self-managed the
Company will no longer pay management fees and reimbursements for multifamily
assets and will receive fees and reimbursements for managing the assets of
others. In addition, the Company assumed approximately 85 non-site employees
engaged in the operation of the property manager. The transaction is expected to
add approximately $.05 per share to funds from operations ("FFO") on an
annualized basis and should impact 1997 FFO by approximately $0.04 per share.
Ownership:
----------
Certain officers and directors and their affiliates own the following
percentages of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
Related Party Ownership
-----------------------
BRI OP
-------- -------
As of December 31, 1996 2% 10%
As of March 1, 1997 2% 16%
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had a 88.15% General Partner interest
in the Operating Partnership. As of March 1, 1997, this had changed to a 1%
General Partner interest and 80% limited partner interest in the Operating
Partnership.
B. Results of Operations:
----------------------
The results of operations from period to period are impacted by acquisition
and disposition activity within the portfolio. Comparisons will be made as to
constant properties, communities sold and acquired during the periods as well as
development activities so as to explain the changes in the Company's results of
operations.
Summary Overview
- ----------------
1996 to 1995
------------
The Company reflected a net loss of $14.3 million in 1996 compared to net
income of $14.8 million in the prior year. In 1995, the Company recorded a $15.6
million gain on the sale of properties and the payoff of two mortgage loans. The
sales included seven multifamily properties or 1,717 apartment units. Whereas in
1996, the Company recorded $12 million in provisions for losses on its
wholly-owned and joint venture retail investments. The Company has announced a
plan to liquidate the retail portfolio over the next several years and reinvest
the proceeds into acquisitions or development of multifamily assets. This
divesture strategy necessitated the valuation adjustments which represent the
differences between current market value of these assets and their carrying
value (See Note D to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
details).
-13-
<PAGE>
1995 to 1994
------------
From 1994 to 1995, net income increased approximately $9 million, primarily
because of gains of $15.6 million recognized on sales of assets in 1995 compared
to $4.1 million in gains recorded in 1994.
Income and Expenses
- -------------------
Rental income and property operating expenses, including repairs and
maintenance and real estate taxes increased for both periods primarily due to
increased weighted average apartment units. Rental revenues for the year ended
December 31, 1996 increased $18.6 million or 25% over the prior year and the
property operating expenses mentioned above increased $8.1 million or 27% for
the same periods. Average apartment units increased 23.6% between 1995 and 1996.
Revenues for 1995 increased over 1994 by $6.0 million or 8.7% and property
operating expenses increased by $1.2 million or 7.2%. Average apartment units
increased in 1995 over 1994 by 7%. Detail of the Company's apartment unit growth
is set forth below:

------ ------- -----
End of period 12,435 9,433 9,385
====== ======= =====
Depreciation and amortization increased $7.1 million from 1995 to 1996 and
$2.5 million from 1994 to 1995 due to an increased property asset base in both
periods. In addition, amortization of intangible assets associated with the 1996
Advisor Transaction accounted for $1.1 million of the increase from 1995 to
1996.
General and administrative expenses increased in 1996 compared to 1995 as a
result of becoming self-administered on March 1, 1996. These costs include
employee salaries and benefits, administrative and office related expenses. With
respect to 1994 compared to 1995, general and administrative expenses decreased
due to overall savings in legal, audit and transfer agent expenses.
State and corporate franchise taxes in 1996 are higher than in 1995 because
a one-time reduction for taxes pertaining to 1994 is reflected in 1995.
-14-
<PAGE>
Interest Expense
- ----------------
Interest expense has increased in each of the last three years because the
Company has largely employed debt capital for acquisitions and development
activities. The following is an analysis of weighted average debt outstanding
and interest rates for each of the years presented. (Dollars in thousands.)
1996 1995 1994
---- ---- ----
Weighted Average
Debt Outstanding
Fixed Rate $185,616 $ 98,115 $ 51,840
Variable Rate 78,577 89,957 88,586

======== ======== ========
Weighted Average
Interest Rates
Fixed Rate 7.47% 8.39% 8.15%
Variable Rate 6.73% 7.49% 6.51%
In 1996, average fixed rate debt increased approximately $88 million
primarily due to debt which was assumed with the acquisitions of three
properties and the conversion of $13.3 million from variable to fixed rate debt.
In 1995, average fixed rate debt increased by approximately $46 million
primarily because $61 million of fixed rate debt acquired in the second quarter
of 1994 was outstanding for all of 1995. In addition, the Company added $17.8
million of fixed rate debt by financing the two Kingwood, Texas assets in June
1995.
The following represents total debt and weighted average cost of debt
(coupon interest rate plus amortization of financing costs) at December 31,
1996: (Dollars in thousands)

Outstanding Average Cost
----------- ------------
Fixed Rate $206,837 8.0%
Variable Rate (1) 88,329 7.1%
--------
$295,166
(1) The Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap contract with a
bank in November 1995. The swap contract is for a $40 million notional
contract fixing variable rate exposure on that amount at 6.06% plus the
spread paid to lenders under the revolving credit agreements.
Asset management fees were eliminated effective March 1, 1996 in
conjunction with the Advisor Transaction. (See Overview).
Joint venture net loss was $3 million in 1996 compared to net income of
$1.4 million in 1995. One joint venture recorded a provision for a loss of $9
million which represents the difference between carrying value and estimated
fair value less costs to sell. The Company's pro-rata share of this provision is
$4.5 million. As discussed above, this valuation adjustment is the result of the
Company's strategic decision to divest of its retail investments.
Gain on sales of properties and payoff of mortgage loans was $58,000 in
1996 compared to $15.6 million in 1995. In 1995, the gains were the result of
the sales of seven apartment complexes consisting of 1,717 units. The remainder
of the gain in 1995 was the result of the early payoff of two mortgages that the
Company had previously purchased at a discount. The Company sold two assets in
1996 for a net gain of $58,000. When comparing 1994 to 1995, the $11.5 million
increase was due to 1,717 apartment units being sold in 1995 compared to 496
apartment units sold in 1994.
-15-
<PAGE>
Non-recurring charges of $442,000 were recorded in 1996 and represent costs
associated with the settlement of litigation on an asset sold in January 1994.
In 1995, non-recurring charges of $1.7 million related to the costs associated
with reorganizing as an UPREIT. And in 1994, non-recurring charges of $2.6
million were the result of the settlement of a class action lawsuit. See Note N
and Note T to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Extraordinary items in both 1996 and 1995 represents costs associated with
the refinancing or retirement of debt. See Note D Consolidated Financial
Statements.
C. Funds from Operations (FFO) (fully adjusted for Operating Partnership Units)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industry analysts generally consider Funds from Operations, FFO, to be an
appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT because, along with
cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing
activities, it provides investors with an understanding of the ability of the
Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. However, FFO
should not be considered by the reader as a substitute to net income as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure
of liquidity. The Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear
understanding of the operating results of the Company, FFO should be analyzed in
conjunction with net income (loss) as presented in the Consolidated Financial
Statements and information presented elsewhere. FFO is determined in accordance
with a resolution adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association
of Real Estate Investment Trusts, and is defined as net income (loss) (computed
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains
(or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and
amortization on real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated
partnerships and joint ventures. The methodology used by the Company when
calculating FFO may differ from that of other equity REIT's and, therefore, may
not be comparable to such other REIT's. In addition, FFO does not represent
amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital
replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments. FFO is
calculated for the periods presented as follows (dollars in thousands):

<PAGE>
Overview
--------
FFO increased from 1994 to 1995 and from 1995 to 1996 primarily due to
improved operations from the same-store apartment communities in addition to the
factors discussed previously in Results of Operations.
Same-Store Apartment Communities:
---------------------------------
The Company defines same-store apartment communities as those that are
fully stabilized for the two most recent years. The operating performance of the
19 communities aggregating 6,763 units which are considered same-store is
summarized as follows: (Dollars in thousands)
Year Ended December 31,
------------------------------------
1996 1995 Change
------- ------- ------
Revenues $48,499 $45,566 6.44%

Growth in same-store multifamily revenues was approximately 6.4% for 1996
when compared to 1995. Rent increases accounted for 4.3% of the increase and
higher occupancies contributed to the remaining 2.3%. Occupancy at December 31,
1996 was 93.5% for same-store assets.
Same-Store Retail Properties
- ----------------------------
Net operating income ("NOI") of the six retail properties (two of which are
50.1% and 50% held in joint ventures) is summarized as follows: (Dollars in

Same-store NOI increased 0.6% for the twelve months ended December 31, 1996
when compared to 1995. Average occupancies have decreased as a result of tenant
losses in three retail assets and the closing of 10,000 square feet of
commercial office space at another property.

<PAGE>
D. Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------
The Company's net cash provided by operating activities increased from
$22.4 million in 1994 to $25 million in 1995 and to $27.5 million in 1996,
principally due to increased property net operating income. Net cash used in
investing activities decreased from $53.8 million in 1994 to $25.1 million in
1995, principally due to a $59.2 million increase in proceeds from the sales of
assets in 1995, offset by an increase in spending on acquisitions of real estate
assets and apartment community development activity of $30.5 million. Net cash
used in investing activities increased from $25.1 million in 1995 to $36.4
million in 1996 principally due to decreased proceeds from the sales of real
estate assets of $43.4 million and increased initial funding of real estate tax
and repair escrows of $5.1 million as required by certain debt agreements
assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of multifamily properties. This was
offset by less spending on acquisitions of real estate assets and community
development activity of $44.2 million. The Company's net cash provided by
financing activities decreased from $33.8 million in 1994 to $.7 million in 1995
and increased to $4.8 million in 1996 primarily due to net borrowing activity as
discussed in Notes H and I to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Historically, operations, debt financing and sales of assets have been the
sources of liquidity employed by the Company. Operating cash flows are earmarked
for the payment of dividends as well as capital expenditures of a recurring
nature. Debt financing and proceeds from asset sales have been used to finance
acquisitions, development and rehabilitation of apartment communities.
The Company's policy is to pay dividends to investors as a percentage of
FFO. For the past three years, the Company has paid between 85% and 88% of FFO
in dividends, retaining the rest for recurring capital expenditures and working
capital. The Company expects to increase both FFO and dividends in the future
but will strive to gradually reduce the payout ratio so as to utilize some
internally generated funds for growth. On February 13, 1997, the Board approved
a dividend of $.225 per Share payable on May 15, 1997 to the Shareholders of
record on May 1, 1997.
The Company has a policy to maintain leverage at or below 50% of reasonably
estimated fair value of assets. By employing moderate leverage ratios, the
Company can continue to generate sufficient cash flows to operate its business
as well as sustain dividends to shareholders. Debt as a percentage of fair value
as estimated by management for each of the two years ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 were 45.2% and 42.6%, respectively.
The following table represents the components of debt as of December 31,
1996, and 1995:
December 31,
--------------------------------------
1996 1995
----------------- ------------------
Amount Percent Amount Percent

$295.2 100% $211.3 100%
====== ==== ====== =====
(1) In 1996 and 1995, $40 million of variable rate debt has been included
as fixed because the Company entered into a five-year fixed interest
rate swap agreement with a bank for a $40 million notional contract
thereby fixing variable rate exposure on that amount at 6.06%.
The Company conservatively manages both interest rate risk and maturity
risk. Through the use of a swap, the Company has hedged interest rate risk on
-18-
<PAGE>
approximately 45% of its variable rate debt and variable rate debt to total debt
was 16% at December 31, 1996. Additionally, the Company has spread its
maturities on long-term debt and has weighted average maturities of 11.1 years.
The Company has adequate sources of liquidity to meet its current cash flow
requirements including dividends, capital improvements as well as planned
acquisitions.
Since becoming an UPREIT in 1995, the Company has issued through December
31, 1996, 3,413,778 units in the Operating Partnership which, if converted on
December 31, 1996 at the then current share price of $9.875, represents $33.7
million in additional equity capital. Approximately 62% of these Operating
Partnership Units were issued for the acquisition of seven multifamily
communities, five of which were acquired from unrelated sellers.
In 1997, the Company issued additional Operating Partnership Units in
connection with the Property Manager Transaction as discussed above, as well as
for the acquisition of a multifamily asset from another unrelated seller. It is
the Company's intention to continue to use Operating Partnership Units as a form
of currency to grow the asset base of the Company.
Future capital offerings are also being considered, however, the Company is
not currently engaged in a secondary or preferred stock offering. Equity
capital, whether publicly or privately raised, will be utilized when the Company
sees the opportunity to invest the proceeds in assets that would increase
shareholder returns.
The Company currently has sufficient unadvanced commitments under debt
facilities to fund ongoing development and rehabilitation activities.
E. Business Conditions/Risks:
-------------------------
The Company believes that favorable economic conditions exist in
substantially all of its real estate markets. For the Company's stabilized
apartment communities, physical occupancy was 93.5% as of December 31, 1996
which generally represents current market occupancies. In addition, the Company
continues to maintain competitive rental rates by providing superior services
combined with well-maintained assets which sets the Company apart from its
competition. Through intense asset management efforts, the Company expects to
realize solid performance from the real estate assets and to continue its
favorable rental results, however, no assurances can be made in this regard.
The Company is also involved in legal actions and claims in the ordinary
course of its business. It is the opinion of management and its legal counsel,
that such litigation and claims should be resolved without material effect on
the Company's financial position.
F. Forward-Looking Statements:
--------------------------
The Company's Annual Report contains forward-looking statements, estimates
or plans within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Such forward-looking statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause
the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially
different from results or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Such factors include, among other things, adverse changes in the
real estate markets, risk of default under the Company's outstanding
indebtedness due to increased borrowing; financial condition and bankruptcy of
tenants; environmental/safety requirements; adequacy of insurance coverage; and
general and local economic and business conditions. Although the Company
believes that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements
contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and
therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements
included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K will prove to be
accurate. In light of the

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
---------------------------------
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedule of Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the
"Company") listed in the index on page F-2 of this Form 10-K. These financial
statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and financial statement schedule 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 consolidated financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by the Company's management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Berkshire
Realty Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects,
the information required to be included therein.
As discussed in Note D to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed of", effective January 1, 1996.

BERKSHIRE REALTY COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------
A. Organization
------------
Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") was formed
on April 26, 1990 by filing a certificate of incorporation in the State of
Delaware. The Company commenced operations on June 27, 1991, as an equity
real estate investment trust ("REIT") when the Company exchanged 25,097,923
of its shares for the assets, subject to the liabilities of two publicly
held limited partnerships.
The Company was restructured to an umbrella partnership real estate
investment trust ("UPREIT") on May 1, 1995, when the Company's assets,
subject to liabilities, were transferred to a newly formed subsidiary
("Operating Partnership") of which the Company is the general partner. Upon
transfer of its net assets, the Company was issued 25,392,452 units of the
Operating Partnership ("Units") which was equal to the number of Shares
outstanding on May 1, 1995.
To permit the organization of the Operating Partnership, on May 1, 1995, an
affiliate of Berkshire Realty Advisors, the Company's former Advisor,
contributed $5,000 and River Oaks Apartments subject to mortgage debt of
$5.4 million at a valuation of $10,500,000. The seller received 534,975
Units for its interest ("Minority Interest") in the Operating Partnership
in exchange for the property. Under the agreement, the Company may not sell
the River Oaks Apartments for a period of three years following the closing
date. The contribution was accounted for using the purchase method. River
Oaks is a 17-story, 136-unit, multifamily apartment complex located in the
exclusive River Oaks area of Houston, Texas.
On March 1, 1996, the Company became self-administered when it acquired the
assembled workforce and other assets of Berkshire Companies Limited
Partnership (BCLP). BCLP had been retained since the inception of the
Company to provide advisory services with respect to investments and other
matters. In exchange for the assets acquired, BCLP received 1.3 million
Units of the Operating Partnership and, if certain Share price benchmarks
are achieved during a six-year period, BCLP may receive up to $7.2 million
of additional Units (See Note C to the Consolidated Financial Statements
"The Advisor Transaction").
In addition to the two UPREIT transactions mentioned above, the Company has
grown by utilizing the UPREIT structure by acquiring six other multifamily
communities in 1996. These UPREIT transactions have increased the ownership
of the Operating Partnership by minority limited partners to 11.85% which
includes a 10.04% ownership by companies affiliated with Douglas Krupp,
George Krupp and Laurence Gerber. The Company owns the remaining 88.15% of
the Operating Partnership.
Property management services were performed by an affiliate of certain
directors and officers of the Company until February 28, 1997 when the
Company acquired the established workforce and other assets of the
affiliated company for 1.7 million Operating Partnership Units. The
transaction was valued at $17.6 million (based on a $10.375 share price)
which will be recorded on the balance sheet of the Company in the first
quarter of 1997 as third-party property management contracts and the
acquisition of a workforce and other intangible assets.
The property manager currently manages 57 multifamily apartment
communities, including the Company's 35 assets. The Company has acquired
the management contracts for the remaining 22 multifamily communities and

will provide property management services to those owners, generally for a
5% management fee.
The property manager employs approximately 85 professionals, excluding site
employees. The Company will continue to contract with an affiliate of
certain officers and directors for property management of the retail
portfolio.
The Company has several wholly-owned qualifying REIT subsidiaries which
formed in connection with the UPREIT transaction or for financing purposes
and are consolidated in the accompanying financial statements.
The principal business of the Company is the ownership and operation of
apartment communities located in the Southeast and Texas. In addition, the
Company has investments in six community and regional shopping centers, two
of which are held in joint venture.
The Company has an infinite life, however the Company's Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended, requires the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board") to prepare and submit a Plan of Liquidation to the Shareholders on
or before December 31, 1998. The Plan of Liquidation will become effective
only if approved by Shareholders holding a majority of the Shares then
outstanding.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 140,000,000 shares of common
stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Shares"). The Company is also authorized
to issue up to 60,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value, which
may be issued in multiple classes or series. The Board is authorized to
determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock
including the number of shares constituting any such series and the
designation thereof, without any further vote or action by the
Shareholders. The Company's outstanding Shares are publicly traded on the
New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "BRI".
B. Significant Accounting Policies
-------------------------------
The Company uses the following accounting policies for financial reporting
purposes, which may differ in certain respects from those used for federal
income tax purposes.
Basis of Presentation
---------------------
For the period after the UPREIT restructuring, the accompanying
Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the
Company, Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating
Partnership. For the period prior to the UPREIT restructuring, the
accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned qualifying REIT subsidiaries.
All significant intercompany balances have been eliminated in
consolidation. The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company after
the UPREIT restructuring have been adjusted for the minority interest of
unitholders in the Operating Partnership.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
-----------------
B. Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
-------------------------------
Estimates and Assumptions
-------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities,
contingent assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
-------------------------
The Company includes all short-term investments with maturities of three
months or less at the date of acquisition in cash and cash equivalents. The
carrying value of these investments approximated market at December 31,
1996.
The Company invests its cash primarily in money market funds with
commercial banks. The Company has not experienced any losses to date on its
invested cash.
Escrows
-------
Escrows include amounts established pursuant to certain debt agreements for
real estate tax, insurance and capital improvements.
Real Estate Assets and Depreciation
-----------------------------------
Expenditures related to the acquisition, improvement and development of
real estate assets are capitalized at cost. Upon acquisition of a real
estate asset, deferred maintenance and renovation costs are capitalized at
cost. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Depreciation is computed by using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:
Buildings 25 years
Building improvements 5 to 25 years
Appliances, carpeting and equipment 3 to 8 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
Real estate assets and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of", impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations on a property by property basis, when events and circumstances
indicate that the assets might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted
cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amount of those assets. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred,
those assets shall be reduced to fair value. (See Note D).
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
--------------------------------------------
The Company has a 50% interest in Brookwood Village Joint Venture and a
50.1% interest in Spring Valley Partnership (collectively, the "Joint
Ventures"). These investments are accounted for using the equity method

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
--------------------------------------------
of accounting as the respective Partnership Agreements require either a
majority vote (Brookwood) or two thirds majority (Spring Valley) for all
major decisions regarding the Joint Ventures. As such, the Company does not
have control of the operation of the underlying assets. Under the equity
method of accounting, the Company's share of net income (loss) of the Joint
Ventures is included currently in the Company's net income (loss).
MBS
---
MBS are held for long-term investment and therefore are carried at
amortized cost. Premiums or discounts are amortized over the life of the
underlying securities using the effective yield method. The Company has the
intention and ability to hold these to maturity.
Mortgage Loans
--------------
Discounts on mortgage loans net of acquisition costs are amortized into
income over the remaining life of the related loans using the effective
yield method, based on management's estimate of the current facts and
circumstances and the ultimate ability to collect such loans.
Rental Revenues
---------------
Residential and commercial leases require the payment of base rent monthly
in advance. Rental revenues are recorded on the accrual basis. Commercial
leases generally contain provisions for additional rent based on a
percentage of tenant sales and other provisions which are also recorded on
the accrual basis, but are billed in arrears. Minimum rental revenue from
long-term commercial leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
life of the related lease.
Interest Expense and Real Estate Tax Capitalization of Development Assets
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interest expense and real estate taxes incurred during the construction
period of assets under development are capitalized until a building is
placed in service as evidenced by a certificate of occupancy.
Deferred Expenses
-----------------
Costs associated with debt financings are capitalized and amortized to
interest expense over the term of the related agreement using a method
which approximates the effective interest method. Upon refinancing or
retirement of debt, any unamortized costs are charged to earnings.
Interest Rate Swap Agreement
----------------------------
Swap receipts and payments under interest rate swap agreements designated
as a hedge are recognized as adjustments to interest expense when earned
and are reflected as operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of
Cash Flows. Settlement payments or receipts on terminated interest rate
swap agreements are deferred and amortized over the remaining original

----------------------------
period of the swap, as long as the hedged borrowing is still outstanding.
Settlement payments or receipts on terminated interest rate swap agreements
are reflected as financing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash
Flows.
Income Taxes
------------
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and believes it will continue to meet all such
qualifications. Accordingly, the Company will not be subject to federal
income taxes on amounts distributed to Shareholders provided that it
distributes annually at least 95% of its REIT taxable income and meets
certain other requirements for qualifying as a REIT. Therefore, no
provision for federal income taxes has been recorded in the Consolidated
Financial Statements. However, the Company is subject to certain state
income taxes and certain state net worth taxes which are not significant.
Earnings per Share
------------------
Earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average Shares
outstanding during the years presented. The weighted average Shares
outstanding during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were
25,393,147, 25,392,621 and 25,391,478, respectively. Upon the exercise of
certain stock warrants, the Company issued 417 Shares in 1996, 1,023 Shares
in 1995 and 503 shares in 1994. Annual dividends paid per share were $.90
in 1996, $.89 in 1995 and $.86 in 1994.
Reclassifications
-----------------
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current
year consolidated financial statement presentation.
C. The Advisor Transaction
-----------------------
On February 28, 1996, the Board of Directors, acting on the recommendation
of a Special Committee comprised of the Independent Directors, approved the
acquisition, via contribution, of the existing workforce and other assets
of BCLP in exchange for 1.3 million Units of the Operating Partnership.
The Board's actions were initiated to maximize shareholder value and to
align the organization of the Company to be consistent with the structure
preferred by institutional investors, rating agencies and market analysts.
The Special Committee retained the services of an investment banking firm
and an independent law firm to identify and evaluate the options available
to the Company to achieve its goal. The process included, among other
things, a review of the existing contractual arrangements with BCLP,
identification of the employees, office space, computer systems and
software, policies and procedures and other business documentation
required. The Board concluded that the most beneficial method of achieving
the strategic objective was to seek the acquisition of BCLP's workforce and
related assets. The decision was predicated on the determination that such
acquisition (rather than the assembling of a similar workforce and
organization) would provide the best results to the Company in terms of
immediate efficiency of operations and improved cash flows.

C. The Advisor Transaction - Continued
-----------------------
In establishing the consideration to be paid, the Board reviewed comparable
transactions and, after deliberation, the Board approved the acquisition of
the assets of BCLP in exchange for 1.3 million Units or a value of $13
million. The total acquisition price, including professional fees and
expenses, has been recorded on the Company's balance sheet as intangible
assets associated with the workforce acquired and is being amortized on a
straight-line method over a 10-year period.
The value of the assets acquired was determined by evaluating the future
cash flows attributable to the immediate operating efficiencies obtained
through the acquisition of a cohesive assembled workforce. Accordingly, the
value of the transaction was allocated to the workforce acquired and other
intangible assets.
Additional Units, up to a total of $7.2 million, may be issued to BCLP
during a six-year period if certain share price benchmarks are achieved.
The benchmarks will be satisfied if the share price of the Company's common
stock is equal to or greater than the benchmark for any fifteen days during
any twenty consecutive trading days. There are six share price benchmarks
beginning at $11.00 and increasing by $1.00 each up to a maximum of $16.00.
Upon satisfaction of each benchmark, BCLP will receive Units equal to $1.2
million. If issued, the value of any additional Units will be recorded as
an expense in the period the Units are issued. As of December 31, 1996, no
additional Units have been issued.
The contribution was completed on March 1, 1996. As of that date, all
charges and expenses associated with the Advisory Services Agreement ceased
and the Company became a "self-administered" REIT. The Company began
incurring general and administrative expenses for its acquired management
staff including salaries, benefits, and other overhead expenses. The
Company has outsourced with affiliated companies of certain directors and
officers for certain administrative services such as shareholder
communications, computer systems and support and legal services. Property
management services were performed by Berkshire Property Management, an
affiliated company of certain directors and officers. (See Note L).
D. Multifamily and Retail Property
-------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Company had investments in 41 properties in 9
states consisting of 35 apartment communities having in the aggregate
12,435 units and 6 retail centers, including the two joint ventures, with a
total of 1,171,720 square feet of leasable space.
The following summarizes the carrying value of the Company's multifamily
apartment complexes and retail centers, excluding joint ventures (in

Acquisitions
------------
On May 14, 1996, the Company acquired Berkshire Towers (formerly The Point
Apartments), a 1,119-unit high-rise apartment community located in Silver
Spring, Maryland, an asset formerly majority-owned by certain directors and
officers of the Company. The Company acquired the property for $52.3
million in exchange for 1.6 million of Operating Partnership Units to be
issued over three years and the assumption of $35.5 million of non-recourse
indebtedness on the property. The debt has a fixed rate of 7 5/8% and
matures in 2029. Under the terms of the contribution agreement, the Company
may not sell Berkshire Towers for a period of five years following the
closing date.
In the second quarter or 1996, the Company completed the acquisition of
five multi-family communities for a total of 1,422 apartment units. The
properties are located in Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas. One asset (318
units) was purchased with cash from an unrelated seller for a purchase
price of $8.7 million. The four remaining assets (1,104 units) were
acquired as a package from another unrelated seller for a purchase price of
$28.7 million. The purchase price included the assumption of $5.8 million
in debt, the issuance of $4.1 million in Operating Partnership Units and
the remainder was paid in cash. For these four assets, the contribution
agreement restricts the Company from selling the assets for a period of
three years following the closing date. The debt bears interest at 7.695%
and matures in 2005.
On July 30, 1996, the Company acquired Hunter's Glen Apartments, a 276-unit
apartment community located in Plano, Texas. The purchase price was $10
million which included the assumption of $5.5 million in mortgage debt. The
mortgage requires interest at a rate of 9% and matures March 1, 2000.
On November 12, 1996, the Company acquired Prescott Place II Apartments
(formerly Merit Ridge Apartments), a 336-unit apartment community located
in Mesquite, Texas. The purchase price was $10.2 million which included the
assumption of $6.3 million in debt, the issuance of $1.3 million in
Operating Partnership Units and the remainder was paid in cash.
With respect to the debt assumed in conjunction with the acquisitions
mentioned above, the debt agreements require monthly principal and interest
payments along with monthly funding of real estate tax and insurance
escrows. In addition, certain agreements require monthly funding of
mortgage insurance and replacement reserve escrows.
Information on the eight apartment communities acquired in 1996 is as

Development
-----------
The Company substantially completed the construction of Huntington Chase
II, a 72-unit additional phase to an existing property owned by the Company
in Norcross, Georgia. The project is expected to cost approximately $4.7
million of which $4.6 million has been recorded at December 31, 1996.
The Company is also building 96-units as an additional phase to Brookfield
Trace, an existing community in Mauldin (Greenville), South Carolina. As of
December 31, 1996, 72 units have been completed and lease-up is underway.
The remaining 24 units were completed in February 1997. The project is
expected to cost approximately $7 million when completed. As of December
31, 1996, the project has incurred $6.3 million of construction costs.
In the fourth quarter of 1996 the Company began construction of a 296-unit
apartment community in Durham, North Carolina. The project, Berkshires at
Crooked Creek, is currently estimated to cost approximately $20.2 million
and construction of the 13-building apartment community is expected to be
completed in the third quarter of 1998. As of December 31, 1996, costs of
$2.5 million, which included the cost of land, have been incurred.
The Company also owns two parcels of land located in Dallas, Texas and
Greenville, South Carolina. Development plans are under consideration for
these two sites.
Dispositions
------------
On September 12, 1996, the Company sold Pointe West Apartments, a 223-unit
apartment community located in Des Moines, Iowa for a sales price of
$11,225,000. The property had a depreciated cost basis of $10,125,418 and
resulted in a gain on the sale of $947,326. Proceeds from the sale were
used to payoff debt of $6.6 million and necessitated the write-off of
deferred costs of $164,089. An additional $664,000 of proceeds were used to
pay down a portion of the debt collateralized by four separate multifamily
communities which the Company owns. With the sale of Pointe West, the
Company completed its plans to exit the Midwest.
On December 19, 1996, the Company sold Greentree Plaza, a 110,077 square
feet retail center in Marlton, New Jersey, for a sales price of $9,250,000
resulting in a loss on the sale of $889,063. The sale of Greentree Plaza is
consistent with the Company's plan to sell its retail properties and focus
on multifamily communities. The proceeds from the sale will be used to fund
the development of Berkshires at Crooked Creek.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
Real estate assets and equipment are stated at depreciated cost. Pursuant
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Opinion No. 121, "Accounting
for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed of", impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in
operations on a property by property basis, when events and circumstances
indicate that the assets might be impaired and the estimated undiscounted
cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying
amount of those assets. Upon determination that an impairment has occurred,
those assets shall be reduced to fair value.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
-------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Company has recorded $12 million in provisions
for losses on the wholly-owned and joint venture retail assets as a result
of the Company's strategic decision to divest of its retail portfolio over
time and redeploy proceeds in multifamily assets. In the third quarter of
1996, the Company began actively marketing four of its wholly-owned retail
centers. As a result of these efforts, the Company has reclassified these
centers to assets held for sale and has recorded a provision for losses of
$4.2 million which represents the difference between carrying value and
estimated fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation will no longer be
recorded on these assets.
A fifth retail center, which is not currently for sale had a significant
lease restructuring during the third quarter. As a result of this
situation, the Company has recorded a provision for a loss of $3.3 million
which represents the difference between carrying value and estimated fair
value. Depreciation will be calculated on the adjusted book value on this
asset.
Finally, one of the Company's joint venture investments, Brookwood Village
Joint Venture, recorded a $9 million provision for losses of which $4.5
million represents the Company's pro-rata share of the provision.
Rental Income

Future base rents receivable under non-cancelable commercial operating
leases for the four remaining wholly-owned properties for the years 1997

F. Mortgage and other loans receivable
-----------------------------------
As of December 31, 1996, the Company held a mortgage loan with a carrying
value of approximately $2,268,000 and a promissory note with a principal
balance of approximately $1,826,000. The mortgage loan is collateralized by
a 120-unit apartment complex in Palm Bay, Florida. The mortgage loan
requires principal payments based on a 23-year amortization along with an
interest rate of 7%. The mortgage loan matures January 27, 2002 when a
balloon payment of $2,552,673 will be due. The principal balance of the
mortgage loan is approximately $3,016,000. The promissory note requires
monthly interest payments of 10% and matures April 13, 1998.
In May 1996, a mortgage loan receivable was paid off for $7,016,547 which
was the principal balance as of the payoff date. The loan was
collateralized by a 185-unit apartment complex in Miami, Florida. In
addition, in November 1996, a separate mortgage loan receivable was paid
off for $8,308,255 which was the principal balance as of the payoff date.
The loan was collateralized by a 212- unit apartment complex in Miami,
Florida.
G. MBS
---
At December 31, 1996, the Company's MBS portfolio had an approximate market
value of $9,849,000 with unrealized gains of $616,000. The market value of
the MBS portfolio at December 31, 1995 was approximately $12,372,000 with
unrealized gains of $796,000. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the MBS
portfolio's cost basis was $9,232,956 and $11,576,326 with a face value of
$9,294,121 and $11,655,051, respectively. The portfolio consists of Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation securities with coupon rates ranging from
8.0% to 9.75% per annum maturing in the years 2008 through 2021 and a
Federal National Mortgage Association security with coupon rate of 9% per
annum maturing in 2024. The Company has the intention and ability to hold
these to maturity.
H. Credit Agreements
------------------
At December 31, 1996, the Company has in place two lines of credit to
provide for future development, acquisitions and general business
activities. One credit agreement is a Master Credit Facility ("Facility")
with the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"). The commitment
under this interest only facility, which is collateralized by multifamily
assets, is for $100,000,000 of which $63,345,000 is fixed rate ("Base") and
$36,655,000 is a revolving component ("Revolver") expiring in November
2000.
As of December 31, 1996, the Company has pledged fourteen apartment
communities as collateral under the Facility. At that time, $92,310,000 was
advanced on the available collateral. Future advances under the commitment
are dependent on the delivery of additional collateral. The borrowings
under the Credit Facility at December 31, 1996 were as follows:
Contract Contract

Borrowings Date Date Rate Amount
---------- ---- ---- ---- ------
Credit Facility - Fixed 11/22/95 11/20/05 6.997% $50,000,000

H. Credit Agreements, Continued
------------------
Simultaneous with the closing of the Facility mentioned above, the Company
significantly amended the terms of the other Credit Agreement ("Credit
Agreement") with the Bank of Boston and Mellon Bank. The commitment of
$49.5 million has an interest rate set at 175 basis points over LIBOR
(5.5%) as of December 31, 1996. Multifamily and retail assets are pledged
as collateral under the Credit Agreement. The terms of the amended facility
expires December 31, 1997. The borrowings under the Credit Agreement at
December 31, 1996 were as follows:
Contract Contract
Start End Interest
Borrowings Date Date Rate Amount
LIBOR borrowings 12/30/96 01/28/97* 7.4375% $ 1,250,000

LIBOR borrowings 12/30/96 03/31/97 7.3125% 9,000,000
-----------
$43,750,000
===========
* On January 28, 1997, the Company paid down these contracts by
$8,250,000 and repriced the new contracts at the then current interest
rate of 7.3125%.
As an interest rate hedge against variable rate debt, in November 1995 the
Company entered into a five-year interest rate swap contract with a bank as
counterparty. Under the swap arrangement, the Company will pay 6.06% on a
$40 million notional amount and will receive LIBOR (based on 90 day
contracts). The swap arrangement is intended to protect the Company from
significant interest rate exposure on its anticipated revolving facilities.
The current swap amount will cover anticipated borrowing levels under
revolvers in the near term. The Company will continually reassess its rate
exposure relative to debt levels and will execute additional interest rate
protection as circumstances dictate.
The following summarizes the Company's Credit Facility and Credit Agreement
at December 31, 1996 and 1995.

$74,039,637 and $75,004,167 during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively, and the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end
during fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $144,110,000. The weighted
average interest rates of these borrowings were 6.87%, 8.10% and 6.88%
during the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Credit Facility and Credit Agreement requires the Company to be in
compliance with certain debt covenants. Two of the more restrictive
covenants include: the Company is required to maintain interest coverage
ratios of 2 1/4 to one along with a total liability to net worth ratio of
not more than 50%. As of December 31, 1996 the Company was in compliance
with all covenants.

M. Benefit Plans
--------------
Stock Option Plan
-----------------
On February 8, 1996 the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 1996
Stock Option Plan, (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for grants to certain
employees, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. Awards
will be administered by the Compensation Committee which is comprised of
two independent directors appointed by the Board of the Directors. There
are 1,500,000 shares of common stock authorized for non-qualified and
incentive stock option grants under the Plan. The plan will continue in
effect until all shares of stock subject to options have been acquired or
until May 1, 2001, whichever is earlier. However, unexercised options will
continue in effect after the termination of the Plan. Options currently
granted have a 0-1 year vesting period.
In October 1995, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,"
effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS 123 requires
that companies either recognize compensation expense for grants of stock,
stock options, and other equity instruments based on fair value, or provide
pro-forma disclosure of net income and earnings per share in the notes to
the financial statements. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of
SFAS 123 in 1996 and has applied APB Opinion No. 25 and related
Interpretations in accounting for the Plan. Accordingly, compensation
expense was only recognized for 24,000 options issued to a consultant of
the Company, which had a fair value of approximately $22,000. Had
compensation cost for the Plan been determined based on the fair value of
all the options calculated in accordance with SFAS 123, the Company's net
income and earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 1996 would
have been reduced to the pro-forma amounts indicated below:
Net Income Earnings Per Share
As Reported ($14,308,277) $(.56)
Pro-Forma* ($14,745,759) $(.58)
*The pro-forma effect of compensation costs determined using the fair value
based method are not indicative of future amounts when the new method will
apply to all outstanding vested and nonvested awards.
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average
assumptions: an expected life 3 years, expected volatility of 20%, a
dividend yield of 9.1% and a risk free interest rate of 5.65%.
A summary of the status of the Plan as of December 31, 1996 and changes
during the year then ended is presented below:

Profit Sharing Plans
--------------------
Beginning in 1996, the Company has a defined contribution plan pursuant to
Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code which covers all employees'
contributions up to a maximum of 3% of each employee's compensation.
Contributions, if any, are allocated to each participant based on the
relative compensation of the participant to the compensation of all
participants. Aggregate contributions of approximately $76,000 were made
for the year ended December 31, 1996.
N. Non-Recurring Charges
---------------------
Non-recurring charges in 1996 relate primarily to the settlement of a
lawsuit related to the sale of an apartment asset, Carrollwood Gables
Apartments, which was sold to an unaffiliated buyer in January, 1994. Prior
to the sale, the buyer engaged a third party to report on the physical
condition of the property. The physical inspection estimated outstanding
repairs of approximately $20,000 which was satisfactory to the buyer.
Subsequent to the sale, the buyer claimed there was significant roof and
window leakage and brought suit against the Company, claiming that the
Company concealed evidence of the leaks and misrepresented to the buyer
that no roof leaks existed at the property.
On September 5, 1996, the two counts brought against the Company were
dismissed by the court. However, the buyer still had a number of options,
including appealing the order. On September 18, 1996, the litigation was
settled in mediation with the Company agreeing to pay a cash settlement of
$150,000 to the buyer. Although the Company is confident there was no wrong
doing on its part and believes there was no basis for litigation, the
Company believed a settlement at this time was a better option given the
alternatives, which could have meant a reversal of the dismissal and an
expensive trial in the future, and in any event the incurrence of
additional costs of defense.
In addition to the cash settlement, the Company has incurred legal fees and
costs which are recorded as a non-recurring charge on the Consolidated
Statement of Operations.

------------------
In 1995, the non-recurring charges relate to costs associated with the
restructuring of the company to an UPREIT as discussed in Note A. The
non-recurring charges in 1994 relate to the settlement of a class action
lawsuit brought against the Company at its inception by investors in the
two publicly held limited partnerships which were combined to form
Berkshire Realty Company, Inc. (See Note T).
O. Dividends to Shareholders

effective interest income on mortgage loans (see Note F) are recognized for
federal tax purposes when realized.
P. Commitments and Contingencies
-----------------------------
Litigation
----------
The Company is involved in legal actions and claims in the ordinary course
of its business. It is the opinion of management and its legal counsel,
that such litigation and claims should be resolved without material effect
on the Company's financial position or results from operations.
Development
-----------
The estimated cost to complete the development project underway in Durham,
North Carolina is $20.2 million.
Q. Subsequent Events
-----------------
Property Acquisition
--------------------
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company acquired Westchester
Apartments, a 345-unit apartment community located in Silver Spring,
Maryland. The purchase price was $16.1 million which included the
assumption of $11.4 million in debt and the issuance of 388,333 Operating
Partnership Units based on a share price of $10. The remainder was paid in
cash.
Property Disposition
--------------------
Subsequent to December 31, 1996, the Company sold Howell Commons
Apartments, a 348-unit apartment community located in Greenville, South
Carolina for a sale price of $13 million which resulted in a gain of
approximately $6.4 million.

Q. Subsequent Events - Continued
-----------------
Acquisition of the Management Company
-------------------------------------
On February 13, 1997, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors
comprised of the Independent Directors, approved the acquisition of the
third-party management contracts, workforce and other assets of an
affiliate which provided multifamily property management services to the
Company. The Property Manager was contributed on February 28, 1997 in
exchange for 1.7 million Operating Partnership Units or approximately $17.6
million in consideration as of the pricing date.
The Property Manager manages 57 apartment communities, including the
Company's 35 assets, and employs approximately 85 professionals, excluding
site employees. As a result of this transaction, the Company will no longer
pay management fees and reimbursements for the management operations of its
multifamily portfolio. In addition, the Company will receive management
fees and reimbursements of certain expenses associated with 22 third-party
management contracts primarily with partnerships affiliated with certain
directors and officers of the Company. The Company will continue to engage
an affiliated company to manage its six retail assets.
The value of the Operating Partnership Units issued will be recorded on the
balance sheet and reflected as third-party property management contracts
and the acquisition of a workforce. These recorded amounts will be
amortized over the expected periods to be benefitted.
R. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
-----------------------------------
The Company uses the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair
value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and cash equivalents
-------------------------
The carrying amount approximates the fair value due to the short maturity
of those instruments.
MBS
---
The Company estimates the fair value of MBS based on quoted market prices.
(See Note G).
Mortgage loans and other loans receivable
-----------------------------------------
The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgage loans using the market
value of the properties which collaterize such loans, if available.
Otherwise, fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows
using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers
with similar credit ratings and the same remaining maturities. Based on
this analysis, the Company has determined that the fair value of the
instruments approximates carrying value.
Credit agreements
-----------------
At December 31, 1996, the Company has two separate lines of credit in
place. Due to the relatively short period of time between repricing dates
on the revolving components, the Company approximates the fair value of
those borrowings at the current carrying value. The Company estimates the
value

R. Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Continued

Credit agreements - Continued
-----------------
of its interest-only fixed rate credit facility held with the FNMA by
discounting cash flows remaining to maturity using comparable treasury
interest rates plus current spreads. The Company estimates the fair market
value fixed rate portion at December 31, 1996 and 1995 to be $61,873,000
and $50,000,000, respectively.
Repurchase agreements
---------------------
The carrying amount of the Company's repurchase agreement approximates fair
value due to the short maturity.
Interest rate swap agreement
----------------------------
The fair value of the Company's interest rate swap agreement is estimated
to be $150,000 which is the amount the Company would receive if the swap
was terminated on December 31, 1996. If the swap agreement was terminated
on December 31, 1995, the Company estimated it would owe $945,000, if the
contract was terminated.
Mortgage Notes Payable
----------------------
Mortgage notes payable were valued by discounting cash flows remaining to
maturity using comparable treasury interest rates plus current spreads.
Based on this analysis, the Company has determined that the fair value of
these liabilities approximates carrying value.
S. Pro-Forma Results (Unaudited):
-----------------------------
The following unaudited pro-forma operating results for the Company have
been prepared as if the 1996 property acquisitions had occurred on January
1, 1996. Unaudited pro-forma financial information is presented for
informational purposes only and may not be indicative of what the actual
results of operations of the Company would have been had the events
occurred as of January 1, 1996, nor does it purport to represent the
results of operations for future periods. Comparisons are not made to 1995
since the Company became an umbrella partnership real estate investment
trust ("UPREIT") May 1, 1995.

T. Issuance of Warrants
--------------------

Plus-III Limited Partnership and Krupp Cash Plus-IV Limited Partnership
(collectively the "Participating Cash Plus Partnerships") voted in favor of

participate in an exchange (the "Exchange") with the Company. Subsequently,
the Company was named in a consolidated lawsuit filed as a class action
representing those Unitholders related to the Exchange transaction. On
August 3, 1994, the court approved a settlement which became effective on
September 6, 1994.
The settlement agreement provided that the Company pay to the plaintiff
class $1.5 million and issue three million stock warrants. Upon exercise,
each warrant entitles the holder to the right to acquire one share of
common stock of the Company. The warrants are exercisable for a period of
four years ending on September 8, 1998. The number of shares of common
stock issuable upon exercise of a warrant is subject to adjustment upon the
occurrence of certain events described in the warrant agreement. The
exercise price was $10.75 from September 7, 1994 through September 6, 1995
and $11.79 from September 7, 1995 through September 8, 1998. As of December
31, 1996, 1,943 shares of common stock were issued upon exercise of
warrants.
