FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS

FOR THE QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2014

Minot, ND – June 30, 2014 – Investors Real Estate Trust (NYSE: IRET) reported financial and operating results today for the quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2014.

During the three month period ended April 30, 2014, IRET's revenues increased from the year-earlier period. Funds From Operations (FFO)¹ overall and on a per share and unit basis decreased for the three month period ended April 30, 2014 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. We reported a net loss available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

For the three month period ended April 30, 2014, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year:

·	Revenues increased to $67.0 million from $64.2 million.

Total expenses increased by approximately $43.3 million, or 97.1%, in the three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2013, from $44.6 million to $87.9 million. This increase was primarily due to non-cash impairment expense of $37.8 million recognized during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

·	FFO decreased to $17.6 million on approximately 129,244,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding, from $22.1 million on approximately 118,192,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding ($.14 per share and unit compared to $.19 per share and unit).

·	Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles, was $31.4 million compared to $7.1 million of Net Income Available to Common Shareholders in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, IRET's revenues increased from the prior year. FFO overall increased and on a per share and unit basis decreased for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2014 compared to prior fiscal year. We reported a net loss available to common shareholders for fiscal year 2014.

For the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, as compared to the prior fiscal year:

·	Revenues increased to $265.5 million from $248.1 million.

·	Total expenses increased by approximately $62.7 million, or 36.4%, in the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 compared to the twelve months ended April 30, 2013, from $172.1 million to $234.8 million.

·	FFO increased to $79.9 million on approximately 127,028,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding, from $78.9 million on approximately 114,535,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding ($.63 per share and unit compared to $.69 per share and unit).

·	Net Loss Available to Common Shareholders, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles, was approximately $24.7 million compared to Net Income Available to Common Shareholders of $16.3 million in the prior fiscal year.

Significant Events and Transactions during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014:

·	The acquisition of an approximately 39,500-square foot senior housing property in Fruitland, Idaho, on approximately 2.3 acres of land, for a purchase price, paid in cash, of approximately $7.1 million.

·	The issuance of certificates of occupancy for 54 units of a planned 288 units in the Company's Renaissance Heights I apartment project in Williston, North Dakota.

Signature of sales agreements for the disposition of a commercial office property in Maple Grove, Minnesota, for a sales price of $7.2 million, and for the disposition of a commercial office property in Edina, Minnesota, for a sales price of $3.1 million. The sale of the Edina property closed on May 19, 2014; the sale of the Maple Grove property is still pending.

IRET's President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Mihalick, commented, "I am pleased with our financial and operational results for the year. We have a quality pipeline of development projects in process, and we achieved a strong lease-up at our projects placed in service during the year: our Landing at Southgate apartment project in Minot, North Dakota; Cypress Court apartments in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and River Ridge apartments in Bismarck, North Dakota. While the significant non-cash impairments recognized during the year resulted in a net loss as computed under generally accepted accounting principles, our revenues increased across all segments compared to the prior fiscal year. We continue to be excited about the outcome of the strategic planning process we completed during the year. We expect our strategic plan to continue to drive change for us over the next several years, as we focus on identifying properties for disposition and direct new investments primarily toward our healthcare (in particular, senior housing) and multi-family residential segments."

______________________________

1 The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) defines FFO as "net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis." In addition, in October 2011 NAREIT clarified its computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges for all periods presented. FFO is a non-GAAP measure. We consider FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, helpful to investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of properties without giving effect to impairment write-downs and to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead historically rise or fall with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides investors and management with a more accurate indication of our financial and operating results. See table below for a reconciliation of Net Income to FFO.

Operating Results

Net Operating Income (NOI)² from all properties decreased by approximately $3.7 million, or 8.9%, during the three-month period ended April 30, 2014, compared to the same period one year ago. Non-same-store properties accounted for approximately $452,000 of the decrease, while NOI from same-store properties decreased by $3.2 million.

Fourth quarter same-store NOI compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year was impacted primarily by a $1.1 million increase in utilities expense due to extreme cold weather conditions across all of our markets in the quarter, and by the impact of the recognition of a $1.2 million gain on involuntary conversion in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. With sustained high occupancy in our multi-family residential segment, we continue to see opportunity to increase revenue in that segment. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, our same-store multi-family residential properties provided additional revenue of approximately $411,000 compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year; however, this increase was offset by decreases in revenue in our commercial office and industrial segments.

NOI from all properties increased by $5.4 million, or 3.5%, during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, compared to the prior fiscal year. Non-same-store properties accounted for $4.5 million of the increase, while same-store properties added approximately $874,000.

Our non-same-store portfolio, consisting primarily of development projects placed in service, is providing continued positive NOI growth, although delivery of certain of these projects in fiscal year 2014 was delayed due to unusually harsh weather conditions. However, once placed in service, these projects achieved a relatively rapid lease-up. Same-store NOI increased by $874,000 in fiscal year 2014 compared to the prior fiscal year. Same-store NOI was also impacted in the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014 by expenses related to the unusually cold winter, primarily utility expenses, which were $2.1 million higher than in the prior fiscal year. We generally recover these increased utility costs from our commercial tenants, but only for occupied space; we bear utility costs for vacant space. Overall, revenues from same-store properties increased by $6.3 million compared to revenues in the prior fiscal year, primarily due to continued strength in occupancy in our multi-family residential segment, increased percentage rents in our commercial medical segment, and increased tenant reimbursements in our commercial office segment. Detail on NOI by segment is provided in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, filed on June 30, 2014 (the "2014 10-K").

Physical occupancy as of April 30, 2014 compared to April 30, 2013 increased in two of our five reportable segments (commercial healthcare and commercial retail), decreasing in our multi-family residential, commercial office and commercial industrial segments, on a same-store basis and an all-property basis. The decrease of 8.6% in physical occupancy in our commercial industrial segment was due to the expiration of a single lease for 147,600 square feet at our Eagan, Minnesota property on April 30, 2013. At April 30, 2014 our same-store industrial commercial segment was comprised of six properties, five of which were 100% occupied and the Eagan, Minnesota property which was approximately 25.2% occupied. Physical occupancy represents the actual number of units or square footage leased divided by the total number of units or square footage at the end of the period.

______________________________

We measure the performance of our segments based on NOI, which we define as total real estate revenues and gain on involuntary conversion less real estate expenses (which consist of utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, property management expenses and other property expenses). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust's operating real estate because it provides a measure of core operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance. See tables below for a reconciliation of NOI to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Same-store properties are properties owned or in service for the entirety of the periods being compared, and, in the case of development or re-development properties, which have achieved a target level of occupancy of 90% for multi-family residential properties and 85% for commercial office, healthcare, industrial and retail properties.

Acquisitions, Development Projects Place in Service and Dispositions

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company closed on its acquisition of:

·	a 39,500-square foot commercial medical property in Fruitland, Idaho, for a purchase price of $7.1 million, paid in cash;

·	an approximately 4.7-acre parcel of vacant land in Isanti, Minnesota, acquired for possible future development, for a purchase price of approximately $50,000, paid in cash; and

·	an approximately 10.8-acre parcel of vacant land in Rapid City, South Dakota, acquired for possible future development, for a purchase price of $1.4 million, paid in cash.

The Company placed no development projects in service and sold no properties during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Impairment

During fiscal year 2014, the Company recognized non-cash impairment of $44.4 million on 15 properties, of which $1.9 million is included in discontinued operations. Information regarding these impairments is contained in Note 2 to the financial statements included in the Company's 2014 10-K.

The $44.4 million impairment includes the Company's recognition of a non-cash $34.9 million impairment on eight commercial office properties located in four states. These properties are part of a portfolio of nine commercial office properties, with a total of approximately 936,000 rentable square feet, securing a $122.6 million non-recourse CMBS loan with a maturity date of October 6, 2016. The loan bears a fixed rate of interest of 5.92% per annum, with monthly interest-only payments through maturity totaling approximately $7.4 million per year. Due to concerns over the borrower's ability to refinance the portfolio at loan maturity, the Company revised its assumptions regarding the holding period of these properties. Impairment testing performed in connection with the preparation of the financial statements included in the Company's 2014 10-K indicated that impairment indicators were present.

iii

The Company commissioned a third-party appraisal of each of the properties, the result of which indicated a fair value of the portfolio below its net book value, and, accordingly, an impairment was recorded for the difference. Cash flow from the portfolio currently covers debt service on the loan, and the borrower, a special-purpose subsidiary of the Company, is current on all payments under the loan.

The nine commercial office properties in this portfolio are the Flagship Corporate Center in Eden Prairie, Minnesota; Gateway Corporate Center in Woodbury, Minnesota; Pacific Hills Plaza in Omaha, Nebraska; Miracle Hills Executive Center in Omaha, Nebraska; Farnam Executive Center in Omaha, Nebraska; Corporate Center West in Omaha, Nebraska; Woodlands Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri; Riverport in Maryland Heights, Missouri; and Timberlands at Tomahawk in Leawood, Kansas. Portfolio net operating income in fiscal year 2014 totaled approximately $9.3 million. Although the portfolio was approximately 90% occupied as of April 30, 2014, rental revenue from the portfolio has declined significantly since the Company's acquisition of the portfolio for a total cost of approximately $147.1 million in fiscal year 2007.

Because the loan amount significantly exceeds the Company's current estimate of the fair value of this nine-property portfolio, the Company is working to initiate discussions with the loan servicer to discuss various alternatives with regard to the loan. Although the Company cannot predict the outcome of discussions with the loan servicer regarding the loan, the Company has analyzed various possible scenarios, such as a restructuring of the debt, a discounted payoff, and conveyance of the properties to the lender. Although no assurances can be given, because the debt is non-recourse to the Company, no further loss to the Company would be expected to be incurred with respect to the properties following any such discounted payoff, restructuring or conveyance. If the outcome of discussions with the loan servicer were to be a conveyance of the portfolio, the Company currently estimates that this would result in an approximately $0.02 per share reduction in annual FFO, an approximately $0.01 per share increase in Adjusted Funds from Operations, an approximately 3% reduction in the Company's mortgage debt to market capitalization, and an approximately 0.37x decrease in the Company's Debt to Adjusted EBITDA ratio (all such estimates as of April 30, 2014).⁴

Shareholder Equity, Distributions and Capital Structure

As of April 30, 2014, IRET had a total capitalization of $2.4 billion. Total capitalization is defined as the market value (closing price at end of period) of the Company's outstanding common shares and the imputed market value of the outstanding limited partnership units of IRET Properties (which are convertible, at the expiration of a specified holding period, into cash or, at the Company's sole discretion, into common shares of the Company on a one-to-one basis), plus the book value of the Company's preferred shares and the outstanding principal balance of the consolidated debt of the Company.

On April 1, 2014, IRET paid a quarterly distribution of $0.1300 per share and unit on its common shares and limited partnership units of IRET Properties. This was IRET's 172^nd consecutive distribution. IRET also paid, on March 31, 2014, a quarterly distribution of $0.5156 per share on its Series A preferred shares and a quarterly distribution of $0.4968 per share on its Series B preferred shares.

Distribution Declared.

Company Background and Highlights

Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2014

Investors Real Estate Trust is a self-administered, equity real estate investment trust (REIT) investing in a portfolio of income-producing properties located primarily in the upper Midwest. IRET's portfolio is diversified among multi-family residential; commercial office; commercial healthcare, including senior housing; commercial industrial and commercial retail segments.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company closed on its acquisition of:

·	a 39,500-square foot commercial medical property in Fruitland, Idaho, for a purchase price of $7.1 million, paid in cash;

·	an approximately 4.7-acre parcel of vacant land in Isanti, Minnesota, acquired for possible future development, for a purchase price of approximately $50,000, paid in cash; and

·	an approximately 10.8-acre parcel of vacant land in Rapid City, South Dakota, acquired for possible future development, for a purchase price of $1.4 million, paid in cash.

The Company placed no development projects in service and sold no properties during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014.

During fiscal year 2014, continued high occupancy levels in its multi-family residential portfolio allowed the Company to implement selected rent increases, and the Company's three multi-family residential development projects placed in service during the year (the Company's Landing at Southgate project in Minot, North Dakota; Cypress Court project in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and River Ridge project in Bismarck, North Dakota) leased up quickly, with Landing at Southgate 100%, Cypress Court 78.8% and River Ridge 100% leased as of April 30, 2014. The Company expects to see continued favorable results in this segment in fiscal year 2015; however, the Company's ability to maintain occupancy levels and selectively raise rents remains dependent on continued economic recovery and employment and wage growth. The Company also observes considerable multi-family development activity in the Company's markets, and as this new construction is completed and leased, the Company will experience increased competition for tenants.

The Company's commercial office segment, while still negatively affected by a number of adverse macro conditions, including unemployment levels that remain elevated and stagnant wage growth, also showed some progress, with new leasing activity matching absorption rates in the Company's Minneapolis market and in other of its office markets. However, these absorption rates remain low, and businesses, in a continued focus on costs, appear to be increasing the density of their work spaces by placing more employees in less total square footage and giving back the excess space or downsizing upon lease renewals. We expect this erosion in demand for office space to continue, which we expect will impede upward pressure on rental rates in our commercial office portfolio in particular. Trends in the effective rents received by the Company can be seen in the information presented in the "Analysis of Commercial Segments' Credit Risk and Leases" subsection of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations section of the Company's 2014 10-K. Additionally, the Company continues to expect recovery of the overall office market to be challenged by the slow and uneven recovery of the broader economy and by relatively high unemployment rates.

The Company's healthcare segment consists of medical office properties and senior housing facilities. The medical office sector remains stable with modest increases in both occupancy and rents. Likewise, senior housing assets continue to benefit from a recovery of the housing market, as occupancy trends are closely aligned with the ability of seniors to sell their homes in anticipation of moving to a senior care facility.

Both the retail and industrial property markets are showing signs of revival. In the retail segment, better-located retail properties continue to enjoy more leasing success, while outlying shopping centers continue to experience higher vacancy rates. In the industrial segment, a relative lack of new supply is leading to vacant industrial space being absorbed. Industrial rents are not yet rising to reflect this lack of new supply, but tenant concessions appear to be dissipating.

The Company plans to continue in fiscal year 2015 its selective disposition of assets in non-core markets, particularly office and retail segment assets, and intends to use the proceeds from these dispositions to continue deleveraging its portfolio and for developing and acquiring high-quality assets in its multi-family and healthcare segments. Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2014, on May 19, 2014, the Company sold an office property in Edina, Minnesota for a total sales price of approximately $3.1 million.

The Company continues to allocate resources to the dynamic economy of the energy-rich Bakken Shale Formation region of eastern Montana, western and central North Dakota, northwest South Dakota and western Minnesota. Development projects currently scheduled for completion in fiscal years 2015 and 2016 in this region include the Company's 233-unit Commons at Southgate apartment projects in Minot, North Dakota, in which the Company has a 51% interest; and the 288-unit Renaissance Heights Phase I apartment project in Williston, North Dakota, in which the Company has an approximately 70% interest. Energy activity in the Bakken Shale region continues to be robust, and the Company expects this activity to remain strong in the next several years.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, IRET paid its 172^nd consecutive quarterly distribution. The $0.1300 per share/unit distribution was payable on April 1, 2014. Subsequent to the end of fiscal year 2014, on June 2, 2014, the Company's Board of Trustees declared a regular quarterly distribution of $0.1300 per share and unit on the Company's common shares of beneficial interest and the limited partnership units of IRET Properties, payable July 1, 2014 to common shareholders and unitholders of record on June 16, 2014. Also on June 2, 2014, the Company's Board of Trustees' declared a distribution of $0.5156 per share on the Company's Series A preferred shares of beneficial interest, payable June 30, 2014 to Series A preferred shareholders of record on June 16, 2014, and declared a distribution of $0.4968 per share on the Company's Series B preferred shares of beneficial interest, payable June 30, 2014 to Series B preferred shareholders of record on June 16, 2014.

As of April 30, 2014, IRET owns a diversified portfolio of 259 properties consisting of 93 multi-family residential properties, 65 commercial office properties, 67 commercial healthcare properties (including senior housing), 8 commercial industrial properties and 26 commercial retail properties. IRET's common shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IRET).

COMMERCIAL LEASING SUMMARY (Same-Store Properties)

Commercial Leasing Activity

During fiscal year 2014, we have executed new and renewal commercial leases for our same-store rental properties on 228,377 square feet for the three months ended April 30, 2014 and on 1.5 million square feet for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014. Despite our leasing efforts, occupancy in our same-store commercial portfolio decreased to 87.1% as of April 30, 2014, down from 87.7% as of April 30, 2013. This decrease is primarily attributable to the disposition of a number of highly-occupied commercial industrial properties during the year.

The total leasing activity for our same-store commercial rental properties, expressed in square feet of leases signed during the period, and the resulting physical occupancy levels are as follows:

(2)	Effective rents represent average annual base rental payments, on a straight-line basis for the term of each lease, excluding operating expense reimbursements. The underlying leases contain various expense structures including gross, modified gross, net and triple net.

Our ability to maintain or increase occupancy rates is a principal driver of maintaining and increasing the average effective rents in our commercial segments. The decrease in the average effective rental rates of new leases executed in the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 in our commercial retail segment when compared to new leases executed for the same period in the prior year is due to the signing of a new anchor tenant lease at our Jamestown Buffalo Mall property. In June of 2013, we executed a ten year lease with an effective date of August 1, 2013 for 84,338 square feet with a new anchor tenant at an average effective rent of $2.75 per square foot. This space was vacated by the former anchor tenant, which was paying $1.70 per square foot at the time their lease expired on May 31, 2013. Absent this transaction, the average effective rental rate for leases executed in our commercial retail segment in the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 would have been $11.72 per square foot. The decrease in the average effective rental rate of new leases executed in the total commercial portfolio for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year is due primarily to the lease transaction mentioned above and the fact that there were significantly more new commercial industrial leases executed in the twelve months ended January 31, 2014. The decrease in the average effective rental rate of new leases executed in the commercial office portfolio for the three months ended April 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to significantly more net leases being executed in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

(2)	Renewal percentage of expiring leases is based on square footage of renewed leases and not the number of leases renewed. Expiring leases where the tenant retained occupancy on a month-to-month basis past the lease expiration date were considered to have been renewed.

(3)

The decrease in the percent of expiring leases renewed in the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 in our commercial retail segment when compared to the percent of expiring leases renewed for the same period in the prior year was due to the lease expiration of an anchor tenant at our Jamestown Buffalo Mall property which occupied 84,338 square feet. Although this lease expired on May 31, 2013, we were able to execute a lease with a new tenant for the entire 84,338 square feet with an effective date of August 1, 2013 that resulted in an increase in effective rent of 61.8% when compared to the rent paid by the prior tenant. Not taking into account the previously mentioned vacated space, the percent of expiring leases renewed for our retail segment for the twelve months ended April 30, 2014 would have been 88.6%.

(1)	Includes month-to-month leases. As of April 30, 2014 month-to-month leases accounted for 438,647 square feet.

(2)	Annualized Base Rent is monthly scheduled rent as of April 1, 2014, multiplied by 12.

(3)	Assuming that none of the tenants exercise renewal or termination options, and including leases renewed prior to expiration. Also excludes 98,174 square feet of income producing real estate operated within a Taxable REIT Subsidiary.

Because of the diverse property types in the Company's commercial portfolio and the dispersed locations of a substantial portion of the portfolio's properties in secondary and tertiary markets, information on current market rents is difficult to obtain, is highly subjective, and is often not directly comparable between properties. As a result, the Company believes that the increase or decrease in effective rent on its recent leases is the most objective and meaningful information available regarding rent trends and the relationship between rents on leases expiring in the near-term and current market rents across the Company's markets. The Company believes that rents on its new and renewed leases generally approximate market rents.

Adjusted EBITDA is earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, gain/loss on sale of real estate and other investments, impairment of real estate investments, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt and gain/loss from involuntary conversion. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it permits investors to view income from operations without the effect of depreciation, the cost of debt, or non-operating gains and losses. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us is not comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define Adjusted EBITDA exactly as we do.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is calculated by subtracting from Funds from operations (FFO) (1) tenant improvements and leasing costs at same-store properties, and recurring capital expenditures that are capitalized and amortized and are necessary to maintain our properties and revenue stream and (2) straight line rents, then adding (3) non-real estate depreciation and amortization. We may also subtract from FFO certain unusual non-recurring items that do not produce cash available for distribution to shareholders. Our calculation subtracts from FFO leasing commissions and tenant improvements at same-store properties only, since we consider tenant improvement and leasing cost levels at non-same-store properties unrepresentative of expected levels at same-store properties. Previously-reported AFFO amounts are not revised for changes in the composition of the same-store properties pool. AFFO is included herein because we consider it to be a measure of a REIT's ability to incur and service debt and to pay distributions to its shareholders. AFFO is a non-GAAP and non-standardized measure, and may be calculated differently by other REITs.

Annualized base rent (ABR) is calculated as monthly base rent (cash basis) per the lease, as of the reporting period, multiplied by 12.

Debt to total market capitalization is total debt from the balance sheet divided by the sum of total debt from the balance sheet plus the market value of shares outstanding at the end of the period.

Debt service coverage ratio is computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense and principal amortization.

Funds from operations (FFO) - The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) defines FFO as "net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis." In addition, in October 2011 NAREIT clarified its computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges for all periods presented. FFO is a non-GAAP measure. We consider FFO, which is a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts, helpful to investors because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of properties without giving effect to impairment write-downs and to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead historically rise or fall with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides investors and management with a more accurate indication of our financial and operating results.

Net Operating Income (NOI) is total real estate revenues and gain on involuntary conversion less real estate expenses (which consist of utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and property management expenses). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a REIT's operating real estate because it provides a measure of core operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance.

Payout ratio (FFO per share and unit basis) - The ratio of the current quarterly or annual distribution rate per common share and unit divided by quarterly or annual FFO per share and unit.

Ratio of earnings to fixed charges - The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings consist of income from continuing operations plus fixed charges and preferred distributions, less adjustments for noncontrolling interests - consolidated real estate entities, capitalized interest and preferred distributions. Fixed charges consist of mortgage and loan interest expense, whether expensed or capitalized, the amortization of debt expense and capitalized interest.

Ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions - The ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred distributions is computed by dividing earnings by combined fixed charges and preferred distributions. For this purpose, earnings consist of income from continuing operations plus fixed charges and preferred distributions, less adjustments for noncontrolling interests - consolidated real estate entities, capitalized interest and preferred distributions. Combined fixed charges and preferred distributions consist of fixed charges (mortgage and loan interest expense, whether expensed or capitalized, the amortization of debt expense and capitalized interest) and preferred distributions.

Recurring capital expenditures are expenditures (excluding capital expenditures recoverable from tenants and capital expenditures at properties sold during the period) made on a regular or recurring basis to maintain a property's competitive position within its market, generally with a depreciable life of 5 to 12 years, but excluding (a) capital expenditures made in the year of acquisition and in subsequent periods until the property is classified as same-store (i.e., excluding capital expenditures on non-same-store properties), (b) improvements associated with the expansion or re-development of a building, (c) renovations to a building which change the underlying classification of the building (for example, from industrial to office or Class C office to Class A office) or (d) capital improvements that represent the addition of something new to a property, rather than the replacement of an existing item.

Scheduled rent revenue is the total possible revenue from all leasable units and square footage, with occupied space valued at contract rates pursuant to leases and vacant units or square footage at market rates.
