·
The disposition of an office property in Maple Grove, Minnesota and a retail property in Fargo, North Dakota for sales prices totaling $10.0 million.
IRET's President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Mihalick, commented, "We are pleased to report another strong quarter which has resulted in AFFO dividend coverage looking back four quarters, which is one quarter ahead of our previously announced timing for dividend coverage.  As we noted in our press release on January 23, 2015, we are moving ahead with our plan to explore the disposition of our office and retail portfolios to condense our property segments to focus primarily on continued growth in our multi-family residential and healthcare segments. We believe this will provide our shareholders a healthier and more predictable income stream, enhancing the value of the company. Our strong results in the quarter are driven by the strength of our multi-family residential portfolio, in particular the new development projects that have come online in that segment, which are stabilizing with returns exceeding our projections. During the nine months ended January 31, 2015 we placed in service 798 units from our multi-family development pipeline, reducing our exposure to development overall. With the continued solid operating results that we achieved in the quarter, we are confident we have a strengthening portfolio and we are excited to focus our energy on our strongest performing segments, multi-family and healthcare. We consider these quarterly results a good indicator that the plan we articulated previously is working, and that we will be able to maintain momentum in our portfolio repositioning."
______________________________
1The 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. See table below for a reconciliation of Net Income to FFO.

Operating Results
Net Operating Income (NOI)2 from all properties increased by approximately $303,000, or 0.7%, during the three-month period ended January 31, 2015, compared to the same period one year ago. Non-same-store properties, primarily our new multi-family residential developments, provided for an increase of $1.3 million; however, NOI from same-store properties3 decreased by approximately $973,000, primarily attributable to increases in real estate tax expense in our multi-family residential segment.
NOI from all properties increased by $4.6 million, or 3.7%, during the nine month period ended January 31, 2015, compared to the same period one year ago.  Non-same-store properties, primarily our new multi-family residential developments, provided for a $5.1 million increase, while same-store NOI for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 decreased by approximately $510,000.  Same-store real estate revenue increased by $1.9 million; however, the increase was offset by an increase in real estate expenses of $2.4 million. The increase in expenses was primarily due to an increase in real estate taxes of $919,000 and increased insurance expenses of $451,000, both caused by an increase in property valuations in our markets.
Same-store occupancy as of January 31, 2015 compared to January 31, 2014 increased in our multi-family residential segment, decreased in  our office, healthcare and retail segments, and remained stable in our industrial segment. The decreased occupancy in the retail segment on a same-store basis was primarily due to the non-renewal of three leases at three of our retail properties for a total of approximately 94,000 square feet. Occupancy represents the actual number of units or square footage leased divided by the total number of units or square footage at the end of the period.

______________________________
2 We measure the performance of our segments based on NOI, which we define as total real estate revenues and gain on involuntary conversion less real estate expenses (which consist of utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance, property management expenses and other property expenses). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust'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. See tables below for a reconciliation of NOI to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
3 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.

Acquisitions, Development Projects Placed in Service and Dispositions
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company closed on its acquisition of an approximately 1.1-acre parcel of vacant land in Minot, North Dakota, for a purchase price of $1.3 million.
Also during the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company placed in service the 130-unit Red 20 multi-family residential property in Minneapolis, Minnesota, owned by a joint venture entity in which the Company has an approximately 58.6% interest; the 233-unit Commons at Southgate multi-family residential property in Minot, North Dakota, owned by a joint venture entity in which the Company has an approximately 52.9% interest; the 64-unit Cypress Court II multi-family residential property in St. Cloud, Minnesota, owned by a joint venture entity in which the Company has an approximately 86.1% interest; the 165-unit Arcata multi-family residential property in Golden Valley, Minnesota and the 4,998-square foot Minot Wells Fargo Bank retail property in Minot, North Dakota.
During the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company sold an office property in Maple Grove, Minnesota and a retail property in Fargo, North Dakota for sales prices totaling $10.0 million.
Strategic Dispositions
At January 31, 2015, the Company had 10 office properties, one retail property, one healthcare property and one parcel of unimproved land classified as held for sale. In January 2015, the Company announced that it is exploring a calendar year 2015 disposition of substantially all of its commercial office and retail properties, in an update to its current strategic plan, under which the Company has been directing new investments primarily toward multifamily residential and healthcare properties. The Company intends to use the proceeds from dispositions to continue portfolio deleveraging and for developing and acquiring high-quality assets in the Company's multi-family, industrial and healthcare segments.
Mortgages Payable
The Company's mortgages payable include 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. To date the borrower is current on all payments under the loan.
Shareholder Equity, Distributions and Capital Structure
As of January 31, 2015, IRET had a total capitalization of $2.5 billion. Total capitalization is defined as the market value (closing price at end of period) of the Company's outstanding common shares and the imputed market value of the outstanding limited partnership units of IRET Properties (which are convertible, at the expiration of a specified holding period, into cash or, at the Company's sole discretion, into common shares of the Company on a one-to-one basis), plus the book value of the Company's preferred shares and the outstanding principal balance of the consolidated debt of the Company.
On January 16, 2015, IRET paid a quarterly distribution of $0.1300 per share and unit on its common shares and limited partnership units of IRET Properties. This was IRET's 175th consecutive distribution. IRET also paid, on December 31, 2014, a quarterly distribution of $0.5156 per share on its Series A preferred shares and a quarterly distribution of $0.4968 per share on its Series B preferred shares.
Distribution Declared.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, on February 13, 2015, 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 April 1, 2015 to common shareholders and unitholders of record on March 16, 2015. Also on March 4, 2015, 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 March 31, 2015 to Series A preferred shareholders of record on March 16, 2015, and declared a distribution of $0.4968 per share on the Company's Series B preferred shares of beneficial interest, payable March 31, 2015 to Series B preferred shareholders of record on March 16, 2015.
