MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICY

The interim financial statements furnished herein reflect
all adjustments which were, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows at December 31, 2002 and for all
periods presented. All adjustments made in the interim period
were of a normal recurring nature. Certain footnote disclosures
which would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in
the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Annual Report of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation
(the Company) for the year ended September 30, 2002 have been
omitted.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Basic net income per share is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is
calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number
of common shares outstanding plus the weighted-average number of
net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options
pursuant to the treasury stock method. Options in the amount of
16,554 and 25,461 for the three months ended December 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively, are included in the diluted weighted
average shares outstanding.

NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Total comprehensive income, including unrealized gains
(loss) on securities available for sale, for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001 amounted to $1,196,222 and
$1,654,831, respectively.

On November 6, 2002, the Company purchased a 288,211 square
foot manufacturing and warehouse facility in Tolleson, Arizona.
This facility is 100% net leased to Western Container
Corporation, which manufactures plastic bottles for Coca-Cola
soft drink products. The lease is guaranteed by Coca-Cola
Enterprises. The purchase price was approximately $14,800,000.
The Company paid approximately $550,000 in cash, borrowed
approximately $2,200,000 against its security portfolio with
Prudential Securities, used approximately $1,100,000 of its
revolving credit line with Fleet Bank and obtained a mortgage of
approximately $10,950,000. This mortgage payable is at an
interest rate of 5.8% and is due November 1, 2012.

On November 21, 2002 the Company purchased a 90,020 square
foot warehouse facility in Fort Meyers, Florida. This warehouse
facility is 100% net leased to Fed Ed Ground Package System,
Inc., a subsidiary of Federal Express Corporation. The purchase
price was approximately $4,400,000. The Company paid
approximately $1,200,000 in cash, and obtained a mortgage of
approximately $3,200,000. This mortgage payable is at a rate of
6.33% and matures December 1, 2012.

Page 6


NOTE 5 - DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT AND STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

On December 16, 2002, the Company paid $1,815,746 as a
dividend of $.145 per share to shareholders of record November
15, 2002.

For the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company
received $4,548,888 from the Dividend Reinvestment and Stock
Purchase Plan (DRIP). There were 689,362 shares issued under
the Plan.

NOTE 6 - EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, two
participants exercised their stock options and purchased 7,000
shares for a total of $39,750.

As of December 31, 2002, there were options outstanding to
purchase 458,000 shares and 780,000 shares available for grant
under the Plan.

NOTE 7 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Cash paid during the three months ended December 31, 2002
and 2001 for interest was $1,691,164 and $1,426,291,
respectively.

During the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001,
the Company had dividend reinvestments of $710,935 and $472,938,
respectively, which required no cash transfers.

NOTE 8 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, Transition and
Disclosure." SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of
transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method
of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. SFAS No.
148 also requires that disclosures of the pro forma effect of
using the fair value method of accounting for stock-based
employee compensation be displayed more prominently and in a
tabular format. Additionally, SFAS No. 148 requires disclosure
of the pro forma effect in interim financial statements. The
additional disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 148 are effective
for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2002.

At December 31, 2002, the Company had one stock-based
employee compensation plan. Prior to fiscal year 2003, the
Company accounted for this plan under the recognition and
measurement provision of APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees", and the related interpretations. No
stock-based employee compensation was reflected in net income
prior to fiscal 2003. Effective October 1, 2002, the Company
adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation". Under the prospective
method of adoption selected by the Company under the provisions
of SFAS No. 148, no compensation costs have been recognized in
2003 as the Company has not issued any stock-based employee
compensation during the quarter.

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 $2,394,168 for the current three months as compared
to $2,196,246 for the prior period. The Company raised
$4,548,888 from the issuance of shares of common stock through
its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP).
Dividends paid for the three months ended December 31, 2002
amounted to $1,815,746.

During the three months ended December 31, 2002, the Company
purchased two warehouse facilities for a total purchase price,
including closing costs, of approximately $19,200,000.

Securities available for sale decreased by $423,940
primarily as a result of sales of $893,724 and a decrease in the
net unrealized gain of $242,206 partially offset by purchases of
$711,990.

Other assets decreased by $508,362 primarily as a result of
deposits used for the purchase of two additional warehouse
facilities.

Mortgage notes payable increased by $12,974,367 during the
three months ended December 31, 2002. This increase was
primarily due to additional mortgages of $14,150,000 on the new
acquisitions partially offset by principal repayments of
$1,175,633.

Loans payable increased by $234,774 during the three months
ended December 31, 2002. This increase was the result of
additional take-downs in the amount of $3,465,000 of the
Company's revolving credit line and margin loan partially offset
by repayments of $3,230,226.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental and occupancy charges increased for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 to $4,016,035 as compared to $3,306,743
for the three months ended December 31, 2001. This was a result
of the new acquisitions made in fiscal 2002 and 2003.

Interest and dividend income increased by $34,190 for the
three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three
months ended December 31, 2001. This was due primarily to the
purchase of securities available for sale during fiscal 2002 and
2003. Securities available for sale at December 31, 2001 amounted
to $12,057,661.

Gain on Securities Available for Sale transactions amounted
to $245,305 and $169,048 for the three months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively.

Page 8



MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (CONT'D.)

Interest expense increased by $264,873 for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2001. This was primarily the result of additional
borrowings for the new acquisitions made in fiscal 2002 and
2003.

Real estate taxes decreased for the three months ended
December 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended December
31, 2001 due primarily to the sale of the Virginia property in
fiscal 2002.

Operating expenses increased by $30,723 for the three months
ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three months ended
December 31, 2001. This was due primarily to the new
acquisitions made in fiscal 2002 and 2003.

Office and General expenses increased by $165,823 for the
three months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three
months ended December 31, 2001. This was primarily due to
increased professional fees, occupancy charges and personnel
costs. The Company has been expanding its operations.

Depreciation expense increased by $134,659 for the three
months ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the three months
ended December 31, 2001. This was due to the real estate
acquisitions in fiscal 2002 and 2003.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to
$2,393,658 and $2,196,246 during the three months ended December
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

The Company owns thirty-two properties of which twenty-seven
carried mortgage loans totaling $91,194,530 at December 31,
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.

Page 9



FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds from operations (FFO), is defined as net income,
excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable assets,
plus depreciation. FFO should be considered as a supplemental
measure of operating performance used by real estate investment
trusts (REITs).

FFO (1) does not represent cash flow from operations as
defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (2) should
not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of
operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing
and financing activities; and (3) is not an alternative to cash
flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO, as calculated by the
Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures
reported by other REITs.

The Company's FFO for the three months ended December 31,
2002 and 2001 is calculated as follows:

2002 2001

Net Income $ 1,438,428 $ 1,202,345
Depreciation
Expense 830,859 696,200
___________ ___________
FFO $ 2,269,287 $ 1,898,545
=========== ===========


CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, the
Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of the
Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and
with the participation of the Company's management, including the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the
Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective in
timely alerting them to material information relating to the
Company required to be included in the Company's periodic
Securities and Exchange Commission filings. No significant
changes were made in the Company's internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent
to the date of their evaluation.
