ITEM 8.01. Other Events.
Investors Real Estate Trust (the “Company”) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the Selected Financial Data, Management’s Discussion and Analysis and historical consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2010 (Part II, Items 6, 7 and 8, respectively). Historical information was updated for discontinued operations. No sections of the 2010 Form 10-K other than those identified above are being updated by this filing. Information in the 2010 Form 10-K is generally stated as of April 30, 2010, and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other than the updating of historical information for discontinued operations. Without limiting the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2010 Form 10-K for any other information, uncertainties, transactions, risks, events or trends occurring or known to management. More current information is included in other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Current report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2010 Form 10-K, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2010 and other Company filings. Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K contain the revised and updated financial information and are incorporated herein by reference; the Company has included the entire text of the affected sections.
Discontinued Operations
During the second quarter of fiscal year 2011 the Company sold three properties, a small retail property in Ladysmith, Wisconsin, a patio home property in Fargo, North Dakota, and its 504-unit Dakota Hill multi-family residential property in Irving, Texas. During fiscal year 2010, the Company sold its former headquarters property in Minot, North Dakota, and disposed of a small apartment property in Grafton, North Dakota. In fiscal year 2009, the Company sold a small residential property in Minot, North Dakota.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, revenues and expenses associated with these operations have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended October 31, 2010, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2010.
Under SEC regulations, the same discontinued classification is also required for previously-issued financial statements for each of the years presented in our 2010 Form 10-K, even though the financial statements relate to periods prior to the discontinued classification. This reclassification has no effect on our reported net income for any reporting period.
