MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 2011

          

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     

Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation and its subsidiaries (MREIC, the Company or we) operate as a real estate investment trust (REIT) deriving its income primarily from real estate rental operations. In addition, the Company currently owns a majority interest in a limited liability company of which the Company consolidates its results of operations and financial condition. The Company also owns a portfolio of investment securities.


The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code), and intends to maintain its qualification as a REIT in the future. As a qualified REIT, with limited exceptions, the Company will not be taxed under Federal and certain state income tax laws at the corporate level on taxable income that it distributes to its shareholders. For special tax provisions applicable to REITs, refer to Sections 856-860 of the Code. The Company is subject to franchise taxes in some of the states in which the Company owns property.


The interim consolidated financial statements furnished herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2011. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2010.


Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior periods presented have been reclassified to conform to the financial statement presentation for the current year. During fiscal 2011, the Quakertown, PA property has been reclassified from held for sale to held and used, which resulted in $22,689 and $33,048 of income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 being reclassified into continuing operations.


Use of Estimates


In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated balance sheets and revenue and expenses for the periods then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions.


Stock Based Compensation


The Company accounts for stock options and restricted stock in accordance with ASC 718-10 which requires that compensation cost for all stock awards be calculated and amortized over the service period (generally equal to the vesting period). This compensation cost for stock option grants is determined using option pricing models, intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date. The compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized based on the fair value of the restricted stock awards less estimated forfeitures. The fair value for restricted stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. Compensation costs of $33,581 and $5,364 have been recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and compensation costs of $97,187 and $10,728 have been recognized in the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the following stock options were granted under the Company’s amended and restated 2007 stock option and stock award plan (the amended and restated 2007 Plan):


             
Date of
Grant
   Number of
Employees
    Number of
Shares
    Option
Price
    Expiration
Date
 
                     
1/3/11   1    65,000    $8.72    1/3/19 


The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in the fiscal year indicated:


       
   Fiscal 2011  Fiscal 2010
           
Dividend yield   6.88%   8.31%
Expected volatility   20.51%   19.30%
Risk-free interest rate   2.77%   3.25%
Expected lives (years)   8    8 
Estimated forfeitures   -0-    -0- 


The weighted-average fair value of options granted during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $0.61 and $0.33, respectively.


During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company did not grant any restricted stock. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, 8,061 shares of restricted stock were forfeited and options to purchase 6,550 shares were forfeited. These shares were added back to the pool of shares available for grant under the amended and restated 2007 plan.


During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, three plan participants exercised options to purchase 285,850 shares of common stock at an average exercise price of $7.63 per share for total proceeds of $2,181,483.


A total of 974,096 shares were available to grant as stock options or as restricted stock under the amended and restated 2007 plan as of June 30, 2011. As of June 30, 2011, there were options outstanding to purchase 1,086,200 shares under the amended and restated 2007 plan, of which 1,021,200 were vested and 65,161 outstanding shares of restricted stock, none of which were vested.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued updated guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, which requires disclosure of details of significant asset or liability transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy and inclusion of gross purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the rollforward of assets and liabilities valued using Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. The guidance also clarifies and expands existing disclosure requirements related to the disaggregation of fair value disclosures and inputs used in arriving at fair values for assets and liabilities using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the gross presentation of the Level 3 rollforward, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for the respective interim periods within those years. The adoption of that portion of the guidance that became effective on October 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements; the Company does not expect the adoption of that portion of the guidance which becomes effective on October 1, 2011 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.


In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05), which allows an entity the option to


9




present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, our fiscal year beginning October 1, 2012.  The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated statement of earnings, financial condition, statement of cash flows or earnings per share. However, the presentation of the financial statements may change.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The pronouncement was issued to provide a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.



NOTE 2 – NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO MREIC’S COMMON SHAREHOLDERS PER SHARE

     

Basic net income attributable to MREIC’s common shareholders per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MREIC’s common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to MREIC’s common shareholders plus interest expense related to the Convertible Subordinated Debentures (Debentures) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding plus the weighted-average number of net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options pursuant to the treasury stock method, plus the number of shares resulting from the possible conversion of the Debentures during the period.


The following amounts related to the potential conversion of the outstanding Debentures are excluded from the calculation due to their antidilutive effect:


             
   Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
    6/30/11    6/30/10    6/30/11    6/30/10 
                     
    Interest expense   $178,800    $279,800    $618,098    $839,400 
                     
    Common shares to be issued
         upon conversion
   863,100    1,304,148    863,100    1,304,148 
                     


In addition, common stock equivalents of 56,480 and 22,979 shares are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and common stock equivalents of 53,159 and 11,179 shares are included in the weighted average shares outstanding for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 5,499 and 82,828 shares, respectively, were antidilutive.

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS


The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including securities available for sale. The Company’s financial assets consist mainly of REIT securities. The fair value of these financial assets was determined using the following inputs at June 30, 2011:


             
   Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
    Total    Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets         (Level 1)    Significant Other Observable Inputs         (Level 2)    Significant Unobservable Inputs      (Level 3)

Total  $48,501,911   $48,501,911   $-0-   $-0- 


The Company is also required to disclose certain information about fair values of financial instruments. Estimates of fair value are made at a specific point in time based upon, where available, relevant market prices and information about the financial instrument. Such estimates do not include any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. For a portion of the Company’s financial instruments, no quoted market value exists. Therefore, estimates of fair value are necessarily based on a number of significant assumptions (many of which involve events outside the control of management). Such assumptions include assessments of current economic conditions, perceived risks associated with these financial instruments and their counterparties; future expected loss experience and other factors. Given the uncertainties surrounding these assumptions, the reported fair values represent estimates only and, therefore, cannot be compared to the historical accounting model. Use of different assumptions or methodologies is likely to result in significantly different fair value estimates.


The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their current carrying amounts since all such items are short-term in nature. The fair value of variable rate loans payable and Subordinated Convertible Debentures approximate their current carrying amounts since such amounts payable are at approximately a weighted-average current market rate of interest. At June 30, 2011, the fair value (estimated based upon expected cash outflows discounted at current market rates) and carrying value of fixed rate mortgage notes payable amounted to approximately $215,102,451 and $210,428,838, respectively.


NOTE 10 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

     

Cash paid for interest during the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $11,611,723 and $11,517,793, respectively.


During the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company had dividend reinvestments of $4,022,977 and $3,439,157 respectively, which required no cash transfers.

  

The Company assumed mortgages in connection with the acquisitions of the two industrial properties in Lebanon, Tennessee and Rockford, Illinois as described in Note No. 6 with a balance of $10,577,988 upon assumption.

The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plans under the provisions of ASC Topic 718, “Stock Compensation”, which requires that compensation expense be recognized, based on the fair value of the stock awards less estimated forfeitures. The fair value of stock awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The grant date fair value of the restricted stock grants awarded to participants on July 5, 2011 was approximately $648,000. In accordance with Topic 718, the Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock awards upon the explicit vesting period stated in the individual award agreements, which for fiscal 2011 had an average term of 5 years.


ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.


Overview


The following discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto provided elsewhere herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010.


The Company is a REIT. The Company’s primary business is the ownership and management of industrial buildings subject to long-term leases primarily to investment-grade tenants.  During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased two net-leased industrial properties, located in Lebanon, Tennessee and Rockford, Illinois, totaling approximately 448,000 square feet, for approximately $20,300,000.  In addition, the Company purchased the remaining 37% noncontrolling interest in the entity which holds the Wheeling, Illinois property for approximately $4,100,000. The Company also purchased 8.6 acres of land adjacent to its El Paso, Texas property for future expansion for approximately $1,100,000. As of June 30, 2011, the Company owned sixty-four industrial properties and one shopping center with total square footage of approximately 7,418,000.   These properties are located in twenty-five states. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s weighted average lease expiration term was approximately 5.2 years and its occupancy rate was 97%. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s average rent per occupied square foot for fiscal 2011 was estimated at approximately $5.59. Total real estate investments were approximately $406,136,000 as of June 30, 2011.


The Company’s revenue primarily consists of rental and reimbursement revenue from the ownership of industrial rental property.  Income from property operations defined as rental and reimbursement revenue less real estate taxes and operating expenses increased $670,358 or 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $2,174,310 or 8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30,


16





2010. The increase was due to the additional income related to the four industrial properties purchased during fiscal 2010 and the two purchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2011.


The Company has a concentration of FDX-leased properties. As of June 30, 2011, no tenant leased more than 5% of the Company’s total leased square footage with the exception of FDX and its subsidiaries, which leased 46% of our total leased square footage, and the Mead Corporation and Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, Inc., each of which leased 5% of our total leased square footage. The only tenant that accounted for more than 5% of our total rental and reimbursement revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was FDX and its subsidiaries. Annualized rental and reimbursement revenue from FDX and FDX subsidiaries is estimated at approximately 56% of total rental and reimbursement revenue for fiscal 2011. This is a risk shareholders should consider.


The Company also holds a portfolio of securities of other REITs with a fair value of $48,501,911 as of June 30, 2011, which earns dividend and interest income. The dividends received from our securities investments were at a weighted average yield of approximately 7.0% as of June 30, 2011. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized gains on sale of securities of $5,091,285. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had net unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $9,745,226. The Company invests in REIT securities on margin from time to time when the Company can achieve an adequate yield spread. The REIT securities portfolio provides the Company with liquidity and additional income and serves as a proxy for real property investments.   


On October 14, 2010, the Company sold 817,250 shares of its 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock in a registered direct placement at $24.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $19,000,000 and to date has used the net proceeds to purchase additional properties in the ordinary course of business, to repurchase $5,050,000 in 8% Debentures and for general corporate purposes.


The Company is currently under contract to purchase five industrial buildings totaling approximately 751,000 square feet for approximately $50,900,000.  The Company expects to close three of these acquisitions for a total purchase price of $32,600,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the two remaining acquisitions for a total purchase price of $18,300,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.   The Company intends to finance these acquisitions through mortgages on the individual properties and from proceeds from the preferred stock offering described above. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions of industrial properties when investments meeting our investment criteria can be found.


See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010 for a more complete discussion of the economic and industry-wide factors relevant to the Company and the opportunities, challenges, and risks on which the Company is focused.

The Company has been making progress renewing leases for 1,303,769 square feet which were scheduled to expire in fiscal 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company has renewed a total of 6 leases covering 821,755 square feet or 63% of the space coming up for renewal in 2012 at a weighted average loss of 3.9% from previous rents. Weighted average term for these renewals is 3.6 years. The Company has been informed that 2 leases for 174,892 square feet or 13% of the space coming up for renewal in 2012 will not be renewing. Leases for the remaining 307,122 square feet scheduled for renewal during fiscal 2012 are in renewal discussions.


Rental revenue increased $763,640 or 8% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $2,571,029 or 9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The net increase was due mainly to the following:


·

Increases in rent from the property in Ft. Mill, SC purchased in June 2010 totaling approximately $311,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $1,446,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010.


·

Increases in rent from the new properties acquired in fiscal 2011 in Lebanon, TN and Rockford, IL totaling approximately $462,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $1,235,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010.


Reimbursement revenue decreased $211,125 or 10% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $176,245 or 3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease for the three months relates to adjustments in accrued reimbursements related to the properties purchased in 2010 and 2011 for approximately $31,000 and decreases in reimbursements related to reduced real estate taxes in some municipalities. The increases for the nine months were due mainly to the real estate taxes, insurance and other reimbursable expenses related to the properties purchased in 2010 and 2011 totaling approximately $212,000 as noted above. The increases were partially offset by decreased reimbursements related to reduced real estate taxes in some municipalities.


Real estate taxes decreased $134,224 or 7% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $172,712 or 3% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease for the three months was due to adjustments in accrued real estate taxes related to the properties purchased in 2010 and 2011 of approximately $11,500 and reduced real estate taxes in some municipalities. The increase for the nine



18




months was due to the real estate taxes related to the properties purchased in 2010 and 2011 totaling approximately $200,000, partially offset by reduced real estate taxes in some municipalities.


Operating expenses increased $16,381or 3% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and $400,252 or 28% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increase was due mainly to an increase in operating expenses related to the acquisition of the Ft. Mill property in June 2010 and two properties in fiscal 2011 noted above, representing a total increase of approximately $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 20, 2010 and a total increase of approximately $60,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010.  In addition, for the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had an increase in management fees, repairs and maintenance, insurance and utilities totaling approximately $345,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010.


General and administrative expense decreased $402,696 or 30% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $254,964 or 9% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease for the three months was due mainly to one-time executive compensation costs incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2010 totaling approximately $414,000.   The increase for the nine months was due mainly to increases in compensation and benefits and director fees of approximately $400,000 including severance costs of $275,000 for a former executive.


Acquisition costs decreased $173,057 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and decreased $41,387 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. These costs related to the transaction and due diligence costs associated with the acquisition of the industrial properties in fiscal 2011 and 2010. The Company adopted ASC 805-10, Business Combinations on October 1, 2009, which requires purchases of operating properties to be recorded at “full fair value” and transaction costs to be expensed. The Company expects additional acquisition costs to be expensed in fiscal 2011 due to the three anticipated additional property acquisitions to be closed in the fourth fiscal quarter.

 

Interest and dividend income increased $62,419 or 9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 and increased $410,632 or 23% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The increase for the three and nine months was due mainly to an increase in the average balance of securities available for sale. The average balance of the securities was approximately $46,729,000 and $32,483,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and approximately $45,449,000 and $29,343,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The weighted average yield was approximately 7.0% and 6.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and was approximately 6.7% and 7.8% for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


The Company recognized a gain on sale of securities of $1,282,760 and $672,177 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and $5,091,285 and $1,782,749 for the nine month ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company had net unrealized gains on its securities held for sale of $9,745,226 as of June 30, 2011.


Changes in Financial Condition


The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $16,169,614 and $14,702,526 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  


Real estate investments increased $13,946,971 from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011. This increase was due mainly to the purchase of the industrial properties in Lebanon, Tennessee and Rockford, Illinois, and land adjacent to our El Paso, Texas property totaling approximately $20,855,000 partially offset by depreciation expense for the nine month period of $7,690,311.


19




Securities available for sale increased $5,984,186 from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The increase was due mainly to the purchases of securities of $16,277,951 partially offset by sales and redemptions of securities with an adjusted cost of $9,921,091 and a decrease in the unrealized gain on securities of $370,831.


Other Assets increased $1,142,980 due mainly to deposits paid on future acquisitions.


Mortgage notes payable decreased $149,023 from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011. This decrease was due to principal repayments of $13,727,010 partially offset by the two mortgages assumed of $10,577,988 in connection with the acquisitions of the two industrial properties purchased in 2011 and the refinancing of the mortgage on the Romulus, MI property. Details on the mortgages are as follows:


          
Property  Mortgage
Assumed/Originated
  Maturity
Date
  Interest
Rate
Lebanon, TN  $8,645,181    7/1/19    7.6%
Rockford, IL   1,932,807    12/10/13    5.5%
Romulus, MI   3,000,000    7/1/21    5.5%


The Company is scheduled to repay a total of approximately $20,000,000 in mortgage principal in the next 12 months and intends to make these principal payments from funds raised in the DRIP and cash from operations.


The Company’s outstanding 8% Debentures decreased $5,050,000 from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011. The decrease was due to repurchases at par.  


Loans payable increased $3,014,557 from September 30, 2010 to June 30, 2011.  The increase was mainly due to an increase on its margin loan for purchases of securities available for sale. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had an outstanding balance of $9,288,470 on its margin loans and $3,000,000 outstanding on its unsecured line of credit.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $16,169,614 and $14,702,526 for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Distributions paid on common stock for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $15,697,869 and $13,411,375, respectively (of which $4,022,977 and $3,439,157, respectively, were reinvested). The Company pays distributions from cash provided by operating activities.     


As of June 30, 2011, the Company owned securities available for sale of $48,501,911 subject to margin loans of $9,288,470. These marketable securities provide the Company with additional liquidity as well as dividend income. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a net unrealized gain on its portfolio of $9,745,226. The dividends received from our investments continue to meet our expectations.


As of June 30, 2011, the Company owned sixty-five properties (sixty-four industrial properties and one shopping center), of which fifty-five carried mortgage loans totaling $210,428,838. The unencumbered properties could be refinanced to raise additional funds, although covenants in the Company’s line of credit limit the amount of unencumbered properties which can be mortgaged. The Company had $17,000,000 available on its $20,000,000 line of credit as of June 30, 2011. The Company’s total net debt plus preferred equity to total market capitalization was 47% as of June 30, 2011.


On June 29, 2011, the Company refinanced the existing mortgage on the Romulus, MI property with a balance of $623,002 at an interest rate of 7.56%. The new $3,000,000 mortgage, which matures on July 1, 2021, is at a fixed interest rate of 5.5% for the first five years. On July 1, 2016, the interest rate resets to the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York rate plus 275 basis points with a floor of 5.5%.


20





On October 14, 2010, the Company sold 817,250 shares of its 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock in a registered direct placement at $24.00 per share. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $19,000,000 and to date has used the net proceeds to purchase additional properties in the ordinary course of business, to repurchase $5,050,000 in principal amount of its 8% Debentures and for general corporate purposes. The Company now has a total of 2,139,750 shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock outstanding representing an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $53,500,000.


The Company is currently under contract to purchase five industrial buildings totaling approximately 751,000 square feet for approximately $50,900,000.  The Company expects to close three of these acquisitions for a total purchase price of $32,600,000 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and the two remaining acquisitions for a total purchase price of $18,300,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012.  The Company intends to finance these acquisitions through mortgages on the individual properties and from proceeds from the preferred stock offering described above. The Company intends to make additional acquisitions of industrial properties when investments meeting our investment criteria can be found.


During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $3,059,414 in preferred dividends. On July 5, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.4766 per share of the Company’s 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock payable September 15, 2011, to preferred shareholders of record as of May 16, 2011.


The Company raised $13,586,423 (including reinvestments of $4,022,977) from the issuance of 1,717,153 common shares in the DRIP during the nine months ended June 30, 2011. During the nine months ended June 30, 2011, the Company paid $15,697,869 in total cash dividends or $0.45 per common share to common shareholders, of which $4,022,977 was reinvested in the DRIP. On July 5, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.15 per common share to be paid on September 15, 2011 to common shareholders of record as of August 15, 2011.


The Company uses a variety of sources to fund its cash needs in addition to cash generated through operations. The Company may sell marketable securities, borrow on its margin loans, refinance debt, or raise capital through the DRIP or capital markets.


As described above, the Company has been raising capital through its DRIP, registered direct placements and public offerings of common and preferred stock and investing in net leased industrial properties. The Company believes that funds generated from operations, the DRIP and from its recent public offerings, together with the ability to finance and refinance its properties, will provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next year.


The Company seeks to invest in well-located, modern buildings leased primarily to investment grade tenants on long-term leases. In management’s opinion, newly built facilities leased to FDX and its subsidiaries meet these criteria. The Company has a concentration of FDX and FDX subsidiary leased properties. As of June 30, 2011, no tenant leased more than 5% of the Company’s total leased square footage with the exception of FDX and its subsidiaries, which leased 46% of our total leased square footage, and the Mead Corporation and Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, Inc., each of which leased 5% of our total leased square footage. The only tenant that accounted for more than 5% of our total rental and reimbursement revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2011 was FDX and its subsidiaries. Annualized rent and reimbursement revenue from FDX and FDX subsidiaries is estimated at approximately 56% of total rental and reimbursement revenue for fiscal year 2011. FDX is a publicly-owned corporation and information on its financial business operations is readily available to the Company’s shareholders.


The Company intends to acquire additional net-leased industrial properties on long-term leases, primarily to investment grade tenants, and expand its current properties when needed. The Company has historically financed purchases of real estate and expansions primarily through mortgages.  To the extent that funds or appropriate properties are not available, fewer acquisitions and expansions will be made.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.


Funds From Operations


Funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.  FFO should be considered as a supplemental measure of operating performance used by REITs. FFO excludes historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis. The items excluded from FFO are significant components in understanding the Company’s financial performance.


FFO (i) does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) is not an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs.


The Company’s FFO for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 is calculated as follows:
