MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

DECEMBER 31, 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 months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2012. 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, 2011.

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 was reclassified to held for sale, which resulted in $27,848 and $61,177 of income from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, being reclassified into discontinued operations. On October 31, 2011, the Quakertown, PA property was sold.

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 $64,323 and $30,026 have been recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, no options or restricted stock awards were granted under the Company’s 2007 Stock Option and Stock Award Plan (the plan) and options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock were exercised. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, 27,620 shares of common stock were forfeited and added back to the shares available for grant. The amount of shares available for future grants as stock options or as restricted stock under the plan were 929,342 shares as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, there were options to purchase 1,118,580 shares outstanding under the plan.

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. This guidance did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

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.

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 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.

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 Company's 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
	12/31/11	12/31/10

Interest expense	$175,800	$260,499
Common shares to be issued upon conversion	850,000	863,100

In addition, common stock equivalents of 79,457 and 71,085 shares are included in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, options to purchase 110,850 and 292,400 shares, respectively, were antidilutive.

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 December 31, 2011 and September 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)

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 December 31, 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 $230,100,000 and $222,385,462 respectively. As of September 30, 2011, the above listed real estate held for sale consists of an industrial property in Quakertown, PA which was classified as held for sale and is recorded at estimated fair value. On October 31, 2011, the Company sold this property.

NOTE 9 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid for interest during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $4,148,660 and $4,169,862, respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had dividend reinvestments of $1,230,696 and $1,352,589, respectively, which required no cash transfers.

NOTE 10 – CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS

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, 2011.

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 three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company purchased four net-leased industrial properties, located in Streetsboro, OH, Corpus Christi, TX, Halfmoon, NY and Lebanon, OH, totaling approximately 541,000 square feet, for approximately $35,700,000. As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned sixty-eight industrial properties and one shopping center with total square footage of approximately 8,032,000 square feet. These properties are located in twenty-five states. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s weighted average lease expiration term was approximately 5.3 years and its occupancy rate was 97%. As

of December 31, 2011, the Company’s average rent per occupied square foot for fiscal 2012 was estimated at approximately $5.59. Total real estate investments were $441,211,089 as of December 31, 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 $655,802 or 7% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase was due to the additional income related to the three industrial properties purchased during fiscal 2011 and the four purchased during the first quarter of fiscal 2012.

The Company has a concentration of FDX-leased properties. As of December 31, 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 43% of our total leased square footage. In addition, the Mead Corporation and Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores, Inc., each 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 three months ended December 31, 2011 was FDX and its subsidiaries. Annualized rental and reimbursement revenue from FDX and FDX subsidiaries is estimated at approximately 53% of total rental and reimbursement revenue for fiscal 2012. This concentration is a risk shareholders should consider.

The Company also holds a portfolio of securities of other REITs with a fair value of $44,949,635 as of December 31, 2011, which earns dividend and interest income. The dividends received from our securities investments were at a weighted average yield of approximately 7.7% as of December 31, 2011. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized gains on sale of securities of $2,788,458. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had net unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $1,256,852. 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.

The Company has also entered into agreements to acquire two industrial properties in Texas and one industrial property in Oklahoma, subject to due diligence which the Company is currently conducting. These are new constructions that will be subject to 10 year net-leases to FedEx Ground Package Systems, Inc. In addition the Company has entered into an agreement to acquire an industrial property in Mississippi, subject to due diligence. This is also a new construction which will be subject to a 10-year lease to Anda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and is guaranteed by Watson Pharmaceuticals. These properties are scheduled for completion and occupancy in fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The combined purchase price for these four properties will be approximately $48,450,000. Subject to satisfactory due diligence, the Company anticipates closing these four transactions upon rent commencement. The Company has made deposits of $900,000 on these acquisitions as of December 31, 2011 which are included in other assets as of December 31, 2011.

See PART I, Item 1 – Business in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 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.

Changes in Results of Operations

As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned sixty-nine properties with total square footage of approximately 8,032,000 as compared to sixty-five properties with total square footage of approximately 7,418,000 as of December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2011, the Company’s weighted average lease expiration term was approximately 5.3 years. The Company’s occupancy rate was 97% as of December 31, 2011 and 2010.

In fiscal 2012, approximately 18% of our gross leaseable area, consisting of 12 leases totaling 1,303,769 square feet, was originally set to expire. To date, the Company extended the following leases which were scheduled to expire in fiscal 2012:


Property	Tenant	Square Feet	Former Average Rent PSF	Previous Lease Expiration	Renewal Average Rent PSF	New Lease Expiration	Renewal Term (years)

Ft Myers, FL	FedEx	87,500	$4.45	10/31/11	$4.61	10/31/14	3.0

Weighted Average			$4.72		$4.59		3.6

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. This brings our occupancy rate to 95% after quarter end. Leases for the remaining 152,035 square feet scheduled for renewal during fiscal 2012 are in renewal discussions.

Rental and reimbursement revenue increased $758,606 or 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The net increase was due mainly to the following:

Rent and reimbursements from the new properties acquired in the first quarter of fiscal 2012 in Streetsboro, OH, Corpus Christi, TX, Halfmoon, NY and Lebanon, OH totaling approximately $529,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011.

Increased rent and reimbursements from the properties acquired during fiscal 2011 in Lebanon, TN, Rockford, IL and Edinburg, TX totaling approximately $333,000.

Real estate taxes increased $102,831 or 6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase for the three months was due mainly to real estate taxes related to the properties purchased in fiscal 2011 totaling approximately $50,000 and net increases in assessed real estate taxes. The majority of our leases are triple net leases and real estate taxes are generally reimbursed by the tenant and included in reimbursement income.

Operating expenses remained unchanged for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. Increases in management fees and insurance were offset by a decrease in utilities, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses.

General and administrative expense decreased $125,691 or 11% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The decrease was due mainly to a decrease in compensation from the three months ended December 31, 2010 which included a one-time severance payment of $275,000 to a former executive. The decrease was partially offset by increases in franchise taxes and other administrative expenses of approximately $92,000.

Interest and dividend income increased $222,718 or 31% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase for the three months was due mainly to an increase in the average balance of securities available for sale and a rotation into higher yielding securities. The average balance of the securities was approximately $44,607,000 and $44,002,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The weighted average

yield was approximately 7.7% and 6.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company recognized a gain on sale of securities of $2,788,458 and $2,808,022 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Company had net unrealized gains on its securities held for sale of $1,256,852 as of December 31, 2011.

Discontinued operations in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 include the operations of the property in Quakertown, Pennsylvania which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2011 and was sold on October 31, 2011 . The following table summarizes the components of discontinued operations:


	Three Months Ended
	12/31/11	12/31/10

Rental and reimbursement revenue	$31,880	$96,759
Real Estate Taxes	(2,925)	(12,744)
Operating Expenses	(1,107)	(738)
Depreciation & Amortization	-0-	(16,383)
Interest expense	-0-	(5,717)
Income from Operations of Disposed Property	27,848	61,177
Loss on Sale of Investment Property	(8,220)	-0-
Income from Discontinued Operations	$19,628	$61,177


	Three Months Ended
	12/31/11	12/31/11

Cash flows from Operating Activities	$27,848	$83,277
Cash flows from Investing Activities	2,553,507	-0-
Cash flows from Financing Activities	(2,581,355)	(83,277)

The absence of cash flows from discontinued operations is not expected to materially affect future liquidity and capital resources.

Changes in Financial Condition

The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $5,761,916 and $4,218,409 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net real estate investments increased $32,187,533 from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. This increase was due mainly to the purchase of the industrial properties in Streetsboro, OH, Corpus Christi, TX, Halfmoon, NY and Lebanon, OH totaling approximately $35,700,000 partially offset by depreciation expense for the three month period of $2,785,655.

Securities available for sale increased $684,576 from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The increase was due mainly to the purchases of securities of $8,124,034 partially offset by sales and redemptions of securities with an adjusted cost of $6,328,147 and a decrease in the unrealized gain on securities of $1,111,311.

Other assets decreased $711,433 due mainly to the decrease in deposits made on property purchases. These deposits are reclassified to real estate investments upon the closing of the transaction.

Mortgage notes payable increased $10,771,292 from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The increase was due mainly to the three mortgages of $18,920,000 originated in connection with the acquisitions of the three industrial properties purchased in fiscal 2012. Details on the mortgages are as follows:


Property	Mortgage Originated	Maturity Date	Interest Rate
Streetsboro, OH	$12,740,000	11/1/21	5.5%
Corpus Christi, TX	3,150,000	11/1/21	5.85%
Lebanon, OH	3,030,000	5/1/19	5.55%

The increase in mortgages was partially offset by scheduled payments of principal of $3,786,292 and balloon payments on the Winston Salem, NC and White Bear Lake, MN property mortgages of $4,830,107. In addition, the Company refinanced the existing mortgage on the Memphis, TN property with a balance of $9,432,309 at an interest rate of 6.25% due October 15, 2014. The new $9,900,000 mortgage, which matures on January 1, 2024, is at a fixed interest rate of 4.5%. 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, cash from operations and refinancings.

The Company’s outstanding 8% Debentures decreased $125,000 from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The decrease was due to repurchases at par.

Loans payable increased $2,594,906 from September 30, 2011 to December 31, 2011. The increase was mainly due to a new 5-year term loan of $2,500,000 from Two River at a fixed interest rate of 4.9%, a draw on the line of credit of $4,500,000, partially offset by repayments on the margin loan of $4,405,094. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had an outstanding balance of $1,455,856 on its margin loans and $15,500,000 outstanding on its line of credit. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company paid down an additional $2,000,000 on its line of credit.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,761,916 and $4,218,409 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Distributions paid on common stock for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $5,589,111 and $5,114,841, respectively (of which $1,230,696 and $1,352,589, respectively, was reinvested). The Company pays distributions from cash provided by operating activities.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned securities available for sale of $44,949,635 subject to margin loans of $1,455,856 and a term loan of $2,500,000. These marketable securities provide the Company with additional liquidity as well as dividend income. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had a net unrealized gain on its portfolio of $1,256,852. The dividends received from our investments continue to meet our expectations.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company owned sixty-nine properties (sixty-eight industrial properties and one shopping center), of which fifty-seven carried mortgage loans totaling $222,385,462. 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 $4,500,000 available on its $20,000,000 line of credit as of December 31, 2011. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, the Company paid an additional $2,000,000 on its line of credit. The Company’s total net debt plus preferred equity to total market capitalization was 44% as of December 31, 2011.

subject to due diligence. This is also a new construction which will be subject to a 10-year lease to Anda Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and is guaranteed by Watson Pharmaceuticals. These properties are scheduled for completion and occupancy in fiscal 2012 and the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The combined purchase price for these four properties will be approximately $48,450,000. The Company has made deposits of $900,000 on these acquisitions as of December 31, 2011 which are included in other assets as of December 31, 2011. The Company intends to finance these acquisitions with mortgage debt and cash on hand and availability on its line of credit or margin loans.

During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company paid $1,019,805 in preferred dividends. On January 18, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $.4766 per share of the Company’s 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock payable March 15, 2012, to preferred shareholders of record as of February 15, 2012.

The Company raised $7,078,891 (including reinvestments of $1,230,696) from the issuance of 862,771 common shares in the DRIP during the three months ended December 31, 2011. During the three months ended December 31, 2011, the Company paid $5,589,111 in total cash dividends or $0.15 per common share to common shareholders, of which $1,230,696 was reinvested in the DRIP. On January 18, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.15 per common share to be paid on March 15, 2012 to common shareholders of record as of February 15, 2012. The Company expects to raise an additional $15,000,000 in equity through the DRIP plan in fiscal 2012, provided participation in the DRIP remains consistent with prior year.

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 December 31, 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 43% 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 three months ended December 31, 2011 was FDX and its subsidiaries. Annualized rent and reimbursement revenue from FDX and FDX subsidiaries is estimated at approximately 53% of total rental and reimbursement revenue for fiscal year 2012. 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 and available cash reserves. 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 months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 is calculated as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	12/31/11	12/31/10

Net Income	$5,386,778	$4,814,589
Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests	(20,755)	(28,407)
Preferred Dividend	(1,019,805)	(1,019,805)
Depreciation Expense	2,785,655	2,535,044
Amortization of In-Place Lease Intangible Assets	317,892	294,216
FFO	$7,449,765	$6,595,637

The following are the cash flows provided (used) by operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:


	Three Months Ended
