net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options

33,962 and 19,094 for the three and nine months ended June 30,

NOTE 8 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In August, 2001, FASB issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations," which addresses financial accounting and
reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement
costs. SFAS No. 143 requires an enterprise to record the fair
value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the
period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets. The Company is
required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 143 for fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company does not anticipate
that SFAS No. 143 will significantly impact the Company's
consolidated financial statements.

On October 3, 2001, FASB issued SFAS No. 144. "Accounting
for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets. While SFAS No. 144 supersedes
SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of", it retains many of
the fundamental provisions of the Statement. The Statement is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
The Company does not anticipate that the initial adoption of SFAS
No. 144 will have a significant impact on the Company's financial
statements.

MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company generated net cash provided by operating
activities of $5,496,989 for the current nine months as compared
to $4,489,688 for the prior period. The Company raised
$7,780,954 from the issuance of shares of common stock through
its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP).
Dividends paid for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 amounted
to $4,790,328.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2002, the Company
purchased four warehouse facilities for a total purchase price,
including closing costs, of approximately $31,000,000.

Securities available for sale decreased by $438,782
primarily as a result of sales of $3,712,207 partially offset by
an increase in the net unrealized gain of $721,582 and purchases
of $2,551,843.

Other assets decreased by $342,900 primarily as a result of
deposits used for the purchase of four additional warehouse
facilities.

Mortgage notes payable increased by $18,901,451 during
the nine months ended June 30, 2002. This increase was primarily
due to additional mortgages of $23,350,000 on the new
acquisitions partially offset by principal repayments of
$4,448,549.

Loans payable increased by $137,917 during the nine months
ended June 30, 2002. This increase was the result of additional
take-downs in the amount of $13,680,530 of the Company's
revolving credit line and margin loan partially offset by
repayments of $13,542,613.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental and occupancy charges increased for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 to $3,758,184 as compared to
$2,827,432 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Rental and
occupancy charges increased to $10,676,209 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $7,544,470 for the nine months
ended June 30, 2001. This was a result of the new acquisitions
made in fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Interest and dividend income decreased by $152,199 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2001. Interest and dividend income decreased by
$572,718 for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
the nine months ended June 30, 2001. This was due primarily to
the sales of securities available for sale during fiscal 2001 and
2002. Securities available for sale at June 30, 2001 amounted
to $14,194,576.

9



Gain on Securities Available for Sale transactions amounted
to $533,700 and $281,015 for the three months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively. Gain on Securities Available for Sale
transactions amounted to $906,699 and $439,069 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The gain for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 2001 is net of the
writedown of $95,938 and $226,842, respectively, of securities
available for sale which was considered other than temporarily
impaired.

Interest expense increased by $212,618 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June
30, 2001. Interest expense increased by $1,184,026 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ending
June 30, 2001. This was primarily the result of additional
borrowings for the new acquisitions made in fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Real estate taxes increased for the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three and nine months
ended June 30, 2001 due primarily to the new acquisitions made in
fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Operating expenses increased by $63,603 for the three months
ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended June
30, 2001. Operating expenses increased by $165,607 for the nine
months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the nine months ended
June 30, 2001. This was due primarily to the new acquisitions
made in fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Office and General expenses increased by $114,004 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months
ended June 30, 2001. Office and General expenses increased by
$265,118 for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to
the nine months ended June 30, 2001. This was primarily due to
increased occupancy charges and personnel costs. The Company has
been expanding its operations.

Depreciation expense increased by $166,766 for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the three months ended
June 30, 2001. Depreciation expense increased by $633,094 for
the nine months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the nine
months ended June 30, 2001. This was due to the real estate
acquisitions in fiscal 2001 and 2002.

Funds from operations (FFO), defined as net income,
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets,
plus depreciation amounted to $2,315,372 and $1,697,783 for the
three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. FFO
amounted to $6,006,933 and $4,630,973 for the nine months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. FFO does not replace net
income (determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles) as a measure of performance or net cash
flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO should be considered as a
supplemental measure of operating performance used by real estate
investment trusts.


10


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
$5,496,989 and $4,489,688 during the nine months ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company owns thirty properties of which twenty-five
carried mortgage loans totaling $79,326,205 at June 30, 2002.
The Company has been raising capital through its DRIP and
investing in net leased industrial properties. The Company
believes that funds generated from operations, the DRIP, together
with the ability to finance and refinance its properties will
provide sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over
the next several years.

The Company seeks to invest in well-located, modern
buildings leased to credit worthy tenants on long-term leases.
In management's opinion, newly built facilities leased to The
Federal Express Corporation (FDX) and its subsidiaries meet this
criteria. The Company has a concentration of FDX and FDX
subsidiary leased properties. This is a risk factor that
shareholders should consider. FDX is a publicly-owned
corporation and information on its financial business operations
is readily available to the Company's shareholders. Because of
the contingent nature of contracts to purchase real property, the
Company announces acquisitions only on closing.
