Company Background and Highlights

Second Quarter Fiscal 2015

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; office; healthcare, including senior housing; industrial and retail segments.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company closed on its acquisitions of:

·	a 68-unit multi-family residential property in Bismarck, North Dakota, for a purchase price of $8.5 million and

·	an approximately 12.7-acre parcel of vacant land in Monticello, Minnesota, for a purchase price of $1.7 million.

Also during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company placed in service 121 units of the 233-unit Commons at Southgate multi-family residential property in Minot, North Dakota, in which the Company has an approximately 52.9% interest; 52 units of the 130-unit Red 20 multi-family residential property in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in which the Company has an approximately 58.6% interest and 54 units of the approximately 288-unit Renaissance Heights multi-family residential property in Williston, North Dakota, in which the Company has an approximately 70% interest. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company sold one multi-family residential property, one office property and one retail property, along with the adjacent unimproved land for a total sales price of $10.9 million.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, continued high occupancy levels in the Company's multi-family residential portfolio allowed the Company to implement selected rent increases, and the Company expects to see continued favorable results in this segment in the remainder of fiscal year 2015. Demand was strong for the approximately 227 apartment units the Company placed in service during the quarter, at three joint venture multi-family residential projects: the Commons at Southgate property in Minot, North Dakota, Red 20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Renaissance Heights in Williston, North Dakota. However, the Company's ability to maintain occupancy levels and selectively raise rents remains dependent on continued healthy employment and wage growth. The Company also continues to observe 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 residents.

The Company's office segment, mostly concentrated in Minnesota, continued to be affected by a number of adverse macro conditions. Demand for office space continues to be limited, with space absorption in the Minneapolis market in particular concentrated in prime locations, and suburban office properties continuing to lag in terms of occupancy. Businesses appear to be maintaining their goal of increasing the density of their work spaces by placing more employees in less total square footage, and downsizing upon lease renewals. The Company expects this erosion in demand for office space to continue, which we expect will impede increases on rental rates in our office portfolio. As a result, although the Company has experienced some modest growth in occupancy levels during the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 compared to the second quarter of fiscal year 2014, on an all-properties basis, the Company continues to expect a slow and uneven recovery in its office segment.

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. The Company's senior housing assets continue to benefit from the strengthening recovery in 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 industrial and retail property markets continue to show signs of recovery. The Company's industrial properties are located primarily in the Minneapolis market, and all of these Minneapolis properties are 100% leased. The demand for bulk warehouse and manufacturing space in the Company's markets is strong, with rents generally rising. The retail recovery is evident in regard to the Company's Minneapolis-metro and grocery-anchored retail properties, which are performing well. Outstate locations, however, continue to experience less demand, with the recession-driven contraction not yet fully reversed.

The Company plans to continue in the remainder of fiscal year 2015 its disposition of assets in non-core markets, particularly office, industrial and retail segment assets, and intends to use the proceeds from these dispositions to continue portfolio deleveraging and for developing and acquiring high-quality assets in the Company's multi-family and healthcare segments.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, IRET paid its 174th consecutive quarterly distribution. The $0.1300 per share/unit distribution was payable on October 1, 2014. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, on December 4, 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 January 16, 2015 to common shareholders and unitholders of record on January 2, 2015. Also on December 4, 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 December 31, 2014 to Series A preferred shareholders of record on December 15, 2014, and declared a distribution of $0.4968 per share on the Company's Series B preferred shares of beneficial interest, payable December 31, 2014 to Series B preferred shareholders of record on December 15, 2014.

As of October 31, 2014, IRET owns a diversified portfolio of 257 properties consisting of 96 multi-family residential properties, 63 office properties, 67 healthcare properties (including senior housing), 7 industrial properties and 24 retail properties. IRET's common shares are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IRET).

Mortgage debt does not include the Company's multi-bank line of credit or construction loans. The line of credit has a maturity date of December 1, 2016; as of October 31, 2014, the Company had borrowings of $40.5 million outstanding under this line. Construction loans and other debt totaled $107.7 million as of October 31, 2014.

(1)	Totals are principal balances as of October 31, 2014.

(2)	Loan was refinanced subsequent to October 31, 2014.

(3)	Loan was paid off and the property sold subsequent to October 31, 2014.

(4)	Loan was paid off subsequent to October 31, 2014.

(5)	Anticipated pay off at maturity.

(6)

Amount is part of a non-recourse $122.6 million CMBS loan, for which nine of the Company's office properties serve as collateral and under which a special-purpose subsidiary of the Company is the borrower. This loan matures in October 2016. Because the loan amount significantly exceeds the Company's current estimate of the fair value of this nine-property portfolio, the Company contacted the master servicer to initiate discussions on various alternatives with regard to the loan. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company was notified that the loan has been transferred to the special servicer. The Company cannot predict the outcome of discussions with the special servicer regarding the loan. Cash flow from the portfolio currently covers debt service on the loan, and to date the borrower is current on all payments under the loan.

(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 increase in the average effective rental rate, estimated tenant improvements per square foot and leasing costs per square foot of new leases executed in the total commercial portfolio for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and the six months ended October 31, 2014 when compared to the same periods in the prior year is due primarily to the fact that there were no new industrial leases executed in the six months ended October 31, 2014, since industrial segment rents are typically lower on a per-square foot basis than rents charged for higher-finish office, retail and healthcare space.

(2)

Renewal percentage of expiring leases is based on square footage of renewed leases and not the number of leases renewed. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, the category of renewed leases does not include leases that have become month-to-month leases; these month-to-month leases are considered lease amendments. Previous-period data has been revised to reflect this change.

(3)

Represents the percentage change in effective rent between the original leases and the renewal leases. 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.

The decline in the average growth in effective rents for the healthcare segment for the three months ended October 31, 2014 and the six months ended October 31, 2014 when compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year is due to a 45,081 square foot lease renewal executed with the existing single tenant at our Pavilion I property in Duluth, Minnesota. This lease was renewed at a lower rate than the previous expiring lease due to very low leasing transaction costs associated with the lease renewal. Absent this lease transaction, the weighted average growth rate in effective rents for the three months ended October 31, 2014 would have been 3.7% and for the six months ended October 31, 2014 would have been 4.2%.

The increase in the weighted average growth in effective rents for the retail segment for the three months ended October 31, 2014 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year is due to a 47,150 square foot lease renewal executed at our Rochester, Minnesota Maplewood Square property. Absent this lease transaction, the weighted average growth rate in effective rents for the three months ended October 31, 2014 would have been 5.3%.

In the three months ended July 31, 2014, IRET executed a 36,752 square foot lease renewal at our St. Cloud, Minnesota Westgate property that contained a significant tenant improvement allowance. This significant tenant improvement allowance negotiated by the tenant required an increased rental rate to be negotiated by IRET as well. Absent this lease, and the lease renewal at our Rochester, Minnesota Maplewood Square property mentioned above, the weighted average growth rate in effective rents for the commercial retail segment for the six months ended October 31, 2014 would have been 5.1% and the estimated tenant improvements cost per square foot would have been $0.98.

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 and (4) share-based compensation expense. 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.

Same-store properties are properties owned or in service for the entirety of the periods being compared (except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either of the periods being compared, and properties sold or classified as held for sale), 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 office, healthcare, industrial and retail properties.
