The interim financial statements furnished herein reflect
all adjustments which were, in the opinion of management,

net shares that would be issued upon exercise of stock options

18,056 shares and 31,284 shares for the three months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in the diluted

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 $4,877,171 for the current six months as compared
to $3,765,351 for the prior period. The Company raised
$7,193,139 from the issuance of shares of common stock through
its Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP) and
$8,324,901 in cash from a private placement to Palisade
Concentrated Equity Partnership, L.P. (Palisade). On February
27, 2003, the Company issued 1,257,253 shares to Palisade for
$6.6215 per share. The proceeds of the private placement will be
used for working capital and was used to pay down the Company's
outstanding credit facility. Dividends paid for the six months
ended March 31, 2003 amounted to $3,714,228.

During the six months ended March 31, 2003, the Company
purchased two warehouse facilities for a total purchase price,
including closing costs, of approximately $19,200,000.

Securities available for sale increased by $4,378,921
primarily as a result of purchases of $5,747,266 and partially
offset by a decrease in the net unrealized gain of $339,501 and
sales of $1,370,456.

Other assets decreased by $541,032 primarily as a result of
deposits used for the purchase of two additional warehouse
facilities.

Mortgage notes payable increased by $10,581,516 during
the six months ended March 31, 2003. This increase was primarily
due to additional mortgages of $14,150,000 on the new
acquisitions partially offset by principal repayments of
$3,568,484.

Loans payable decreased by $3,730,591 during the six months
ended March 31, 2003. This decrease was the result of additional
take-downs in the amount of $4,815,000 of the Company's revolving
credit line and margin loan offset by repayments of $8,545,591.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental and occupancy charges increased for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 to $4,254,732 as compared to
$3,611,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. Rental and
occupancy charges increased for the six months ended March 31,
2003 to $8,270,767 as compared to $6,918,025 for the six months
ended March 31, 2002. This was a result of the new acquisitions
made in fiscal 2002 and 2003.

Interest and dividend income increased by $82,556 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2002. Interest and dividend income increased by
$116,746 for the six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to
the six months ended March 31, 2002. This was due primarily to
the purchase of securities available for sale during fiscal 2002
and 2003. Securities available for sale at March 31, 2002
amounted to $11,846,433.

Page 10


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

Gain on Securities Available for Sale transactions amounted
to $96,307 and $203,951 for the three months ended March 31,
2003, respectively. Gain on Securities Available for Sale
transactions amounted to $341,612 and $372,999 for the six months
ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

Interest expense increased by $220,660 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2001. Interest expense increased by $485,533 for the six
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the six months ended
March 31, 2002. This was primarily the result of additional
borrowings for the new acquisitions made in fiscal 2002 and
2003.

Real estate taxes increased by $119,040 for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended March
31, 2001. Real estate taxes increased by $106,618 for the six
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the six months ended
March 31, 2002. This was due primarily to the new acquisitions
made in fiscal 2002 and 2003.

Operating expenses remained relatively stable for the three
and six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared with March 31,
2002.

Office and general expenses increased by $77,888 for the
three months ended March 31, 2003 as compared with March 31,
2002. Office and General expenses increased by $143,711 for the
six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the six months
ended March 31, 2002. This was primarily due to increased
professional fees, occupancy charges and personnel costs. The
Company has been expanding its operations.

Depreciation expense increased by $148,356 for the three
months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2002. Depreciation expense increased by $283,015 for
the six months ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the six months
ended March, 2002. 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
$4,877,171 and $3,765,351 during the six months ended March 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively.

The Company owns thirty-two properties of which twenty-seven
carried mortgage loans totaling $88,801,679 at March 31, 2003.
The Company has been raising capital through its DRIP, a private
placement with Palisade, 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.

Page 11



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, (CONT'D.)

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.

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 excludes historical cost depreciation as an
expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have
different cost bases. The items excluded from FFO are
significant components in understanding the Company's financial
performance.

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 and six months ended March
31, 2003 and 2002 is calculated as follows:

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.

which may cause the actual results of the Company to be
materially different from any future results expressed or implied
by such forward-looking statements.

Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: (i)
changes in the general economic climate; (ii) increased
competition in the geographic areas in which the Company
operates; (iii) changes in government laws and regulations; and
