Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment information

Note 11 - Segment information:

ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", establishes standards for reporting financial information about operating segments in interim and annual financial reports and provides for a "management approach" in identifying the reportable segments. FREIT has determined that it has two reportable segments: commercial properties and residential properties. These reportable segments offer different types of space, have different types of tenants, and are managed separately because each requires

different operating strategies and management expertise. The commercial segment is comprised of five (5) properties and the residential segment is comprised of six (6) properties.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 in FREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023. The chief operating and decision-making group responsible for oversight and strategic decisions of FREIT's commercial segment, residential segment and corporate/other is comprised of FREIT’s Board.

FREIT, through its chief operating and decision making group, assesses and measures segment operating results based on net operating income ("NOI"). NOI, a standard used by real estate professionals, is based on operating revenue and expenses directly associated with the operations of the real estate properties, but excludes: deferred rents (straight lining), depreciation, financing costs and other items. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Real estate rental revenue, operating expenses, NOI and recurring capital improvements for the reportable segments are summarized below and reconciled to condensed consolidated net income attributable to common equity for the six and three months ended April 30, 2024 and 2023. Asset information is not reported since FREIT does not use this measure to assess performance.
