On August 20, 2007, NewReal, Inc., the general partner (the “General Partner”) of New England Realty Associates Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), authorized an equity repurchase program (“Repurchase Program”) under which the Partnership was permitted to purchase, over a period of twelve months, up to 100,000 Depositary Receipts.  On January 15, 2008, the General Partner authorized an increase in the Repurchase Program from 100,000 to 200,000 Depositary Receipts and on January 30, 2008 the General Partner further increased the Repurchase Program from 200,000 to 300,000 Depositary Receipts.  On March 10, 2008, the General Partner further increased the total number of Depositary Receipts that could be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Program from 300,000 to 500,000. Under the Repurchase Program, the Partnership may repurchase Depositary Receipts from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing prices or through privately negotiated transactions.  The timing and amount of repurchases under the Repurchase Program, if any, will depend on market conditions, the trading price of depositary receipts, trading volume and other factors.  To date, 201,293 Depositary Receipts have been repurchased by the Partnership.
