FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST OF NEW JERSEY By: /s/ Robert S. Hekemian ----------------------- Robert S. Hekemian Chairman of the Board DATED: August 24, 2000 EX-99 2 0002.txt RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Exhibit 1 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THIRD QUARTER & NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 2000 HACKENSACK, NJ, August 23, 2000 - First Real Estate Investment Trust announced its operating results for the third quarter and for the nine months ended July 31, 2000. Net Income for the quarter ended July 31, 2000 increased 37.5% to $1,409,000 ($.90 per share) on revenues of $4,892,000. This compares to Net Income of $1,038,000 ($.67 per share) on revenues of $4,039,000 for the comparable prior fiscal year's quarter. FFO for the current year's quarter was $1,774,000 ($1.14 per share) compared to $1,335,000 ($.86 per share) for the prior year's quarter. Net Income for the nine months ended July 31, 2000 increased 32.0% to $3,418,000 ($2.19 per share) on revenues of $13,311,000. This compares to Net Income of $2,589,000 ($1.66 per share) on revenues of $11,614,000 for the nine months of last year. FFO increased to $4,464,000 ($2.86 per share) from $3,709,000 ($2.38 per share) for the prior year's nine-month period. Current fiscal year's results include the operations of the 99,000 sq. ft. Olney Town Center ("Olney"), in Olney, MD, which was acquired on March 29, 2000. Occupancy of the Trust's apartment communities (including its affiliate, Westwood Hills) was 94.3% at July 31, 2000 compared to 95.4% at July 31, 1999. However, revenues from apartment communities for the nine-month period increased 2.9% as average monthly rents increased to $884 this year from $869 last year. Revenues from Retail properties increased 18.9% during the current fiscal year, and occupancy increased to 94.8% at July 31, 2000 from 92.9% at July 31, 1999. The significant revenue increase came principally from the addition of Olney, and increased occupancy (87.6%) and lease-up (91.8%) at Franklin Crossing Shipping Center, in Franklin Lakes, NJ, and a one-time $150,000 lease termination fee from a tenant. Overall operating expenses increased 2.0% after allowing for the expenses attributable to the inclusion of Olney in the current fiscal year. For the quarter ended July 31, 2000, the Trust declared a dividend of $.50 per share payable on September 19, 2000 to shareholders of record on September 5, 2000. This raises year to date dividends to $1.50 compared to $1.20 for the same period last year. It is the Trust's policy to pay fixed quarterly dividends for the first three quarters of each fiscal year, and a final fourth quarter dividend based on the fiscal year's operating results. ~~~~~~ The statements in this report that relate to future earnings or performance are forward-looking. Actual results might differ materially and be adversely affected by such factors as longer than anticipated lease-up periods or the inability of tenants to pay increased rents. Additional information about these factors is contained in the Trust's filings with the SEC including the Trust's most recent filed report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
