Note 5 – Planned asset dispositions:

On May 2, 2012, FREIT’s Board authorized management to pursue the sale of its South Brunswick, NJ property. The decision to sell this property was based on the Board’s desire to re-deploy the net proceeds arising from the sale to real estate assets in other areas of FREIT’s operations. A contract for the sale of the South Brunswick property, with a carrying value of $1.1 million at July 31, 2013, has been entered into, subject to the completion of the due diligence review, and the resolution of certain environmental issues. As a result, the due diligence period has been extended until December 2013. The contract sales price is $11 million. Since the contract is contingent on the completion of the due diligence review, it is not possible for management to estimate when the sale of the South Brunswick property will occur, and therefore, it is classified as held for use as of July 31, 2013.
