NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of presentation:

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements have been omitted. It is the opinion of management that all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and that all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

The consolidated results of operations for the six and three months ended April 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2006 of First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey (“FREIT”).

Reclassification:

Certain amounts in the 2006 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Restatement:

FREIT has restated its prior year’s financial statements in order to properly reflect the Westwood Hills minority members’ share of the Westwood Hills capital deficit. This deficit resulted from distributions to the minority members, including proceeds received on refinancing the mortgage on the residential building owned by Westwood Hills. Although there is no economic effect or cost to FREIT, under GAAP FREIT cannot record a negative minority interest in consolidated financial statements if the minority members have no obligation to restore their negative capital accounts. Accordingly, FREIT’s 2006 quarterly financial statements, as reported herein, have been restated by reducing undistributed earnings and increasing minority interest as of October 31, 2005 by $2,458,000. In addition, net income for the current six and three month periods ended April 30, 2007, has been decreased by $40,000, from amounts previously reported. (See Note 2 in FREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2006 for additional information.)

Note 2 - Earnings per share:

FREIT has presented "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share” ("SFAS 128"). Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is similar to that of basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive shares, such as those issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, were issued during the period.

In computing diluted earnings per share for each of the six and three month periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, the assumed exercise of all of FREIT’s outstanding stock options, adjusted for application of the treasury stock method, would have increased the weighted average number of shares outstanding as shown in the table below.

	Six Months Ended				Three Months Ended
	April 30,				April 30,
	2007		2006		2007		2006
Basic weighted average shares outstanding		6,750,873		6,521,985		6,751,101		6,542,402
Shares arising from assumed exercise of stock options		165,091		231,151		164,016		346,726
Dilutive weighted average shares outstanding		6,915,964		6,753,136		6,915,117		6,889,128

Basic and diluted earnings per share, based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period, are comprised of ordinary income.

Note 3 - Equity incentive plan:

On September 10, 1998, the Board of Trustees approved FREIT’s Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan") which was ratified by FREIT's shareholders on April 7, 1999, whereby up to 920,000 of FREIT's shares of beneficial interest may be granted to key personnel in the form of stock options, restricted share awards and other share-based awards.

Upon ratification of the Plan on April 7, 1999, FREIT issued 754,000 stock options (adjusted for stock splits), which it had previously granted to key personnel on September 10, 1998. The fair value of the options on the date of grant was $7.50 per share. At April 30, 2007, options for 237,500 shares remain outstanding and are exercisable through September 2008.

On April 4, 2007, FREIT shareholders approved amendments to FREIT’s Equity Incentive Plan as follows: (a) reserving an additional 300,000 shares for issuance under the Plan; and (b) extending the term of the Plan until September 10, 2018.

Note 4 - Segment information:

SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”, established standards for reporting financial information about operating segments in interim and annual financial reports and provides for a "management approach" in identifying the reportable segments.

FREIT has determined that it has two reportable segments: commercial properties and residential properties. These reportable segments offer different types of space, have different types of tenants, and are managed separately because each requires different operating strategies and management expertise. The commercial segment contains nine (9) separate properties and the residential segment contains ten (10) properties. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 in FREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2006.

The chief operating and decision-making group of FREIT's commercial segment, residential segment and corporate/other is comprised of FREIT’s Board of Trustees.

FREIT assesses and measures segment operating results based on net operating income ("NOI"). NOI, a standard used by real estate professionals, is based on operating revenue and expenses directly associated with the operations of the real estate properties, but excludes deferred rents (straight lining), lease amortization, depreciation, and financing costs. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Real estate rental revenue, operating expenses, NOI and recurring capital improvements for the reportable segments are summarized below and reconciled to consolidated net income for the six and three month periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. Asset information is not reported since FREIT does not use this measure to assess performance.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement Identifying Important Factors That Could Cause FREIT’s Actual Results to Differ

From Those Projected in Forward Looking Statements.

Readers of this discussion are advised that the discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of FREIT (including related notes thereto) appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, and the consolidated financial statements included in FREIT’s most recently filed Form 10-K. Certain statements in this discussion may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements reflect FREIT’s current expectations regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of FREIT, and do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. FREIT has tried, wherever possible, to identify these forward-looking statements by using words such as “believe,”  “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend, “ “plan,” “ estimate,” or words of similar meaning.

Although FREIT believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause the actual results to differ materially from those projected.  Such factors include, but are not limited to the following: general economic and business conditions, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability of prospective tenants, lease rents and the availability of financing; adverse changes in FREIT’s real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other real estate owners, risks of real estate development and acquisitions; governmental actions and initiatives; and environmental/safety requirements.

OVERVIEW

FREIT is an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns a portfolio of residential apartment and commercial properties. Our revenues consist primarily of fixed rental income from our residential and commercial properties and additional rent in the form of expense reimbursements derived from our income producing commercial properties.  Our properties are primarily located in northern New Jersey and Maryland. We acquire existing properties for investment. We also acquire properties, which we feel have redevelopment potential, and make changes and capital improvements to these properties. We develop and construct properties on our vacant land. Our policy is to acquire and develop real property for long-term investment.

Almost all of FREIT’s income and cash flow is derived from the net rental income (revenues after expenses) from our properties. FREIT’s business and financial results are affected by the following fundamental factors:

· the national and regional economic climate;

· occupancy rates at the properties;

· tenant turn-over rates;

· rental rates;

· operating expenses;

· tenant improvement and leasing costs;

· cost of and availability of capital;

· new acquisitions and development projects; and

· governmental regulations.

A negative quality change in the above factors could potentially cause a detrimental effect in FREIT’s revenue, earnings and cash flow.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") disclosure guidance for "Critical Accounting Policies," the SEC defines Critical Accounting Policies as those that require the application of management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, the preparation of which takes into account estimates based on judgments and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies and estimates used, which are outlined in Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2006, have been applied consistently as at April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006, and for the six and three month periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. We believe that the following accounting policies or estimates require the application of Management's most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments:

Revenue Recognition: Base rents, additional rents based on tenants' sales volume and reimbursement of the tenants' share of certain operating expenses are generally recognized when due from tenants. The straight-line basis is used to recognize base rents under leases if they provide for varying rents over the lease terms. Straight-line rents represent unbilled rents receivable to the extent straight-line rents exceed current rents billed in accordance with lease agreements. Before FREIT can recognize revenue, it is required to assess, among other things, its collectibility. If we incorrectly determine the collectibility of revenue, our net income and assets could be overstated.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: We periodically assess the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever we determine that events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When FREIT determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may be impaired, the measurement of any impairment is based on a projected discounted cash flow method determined by FREIT's management. While we believe that our discounted cash flow methods are reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows may significantly affect the measurement of impairment.

All references to per share amounts are on a diluted basis unless otherwise indicated.

Results of Operations:

Real Estate revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2007 (“Current Six Months”) increased 8.0% to $20,262,000 compared to $18,769,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2006 (“Prior Six Months”).  Real Estate revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2007 (“Current Quarter”) increased 8.8% to $10,048,000 compared to $9,235,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2006 (“Prior Year’s Quarter”).  The increase in real estate revenues was principally attributable to FREIT’s residential operations, primarily at The Boulders in Rockaway Township, NJ (“The Boulders”), which accounted for 5.7% and 6.2% of the increase for the six and three month periods, respectively. (See discussion below.)

Net income for the Current Six Months was $1,977,000 ($0.29 diluted) compared to $2,323,000 ($0.34 diluted) for the Prior Six Months. Net income for the Current Quarter was $1,131,000 ($0.16 diluted) compared to $1,035,000 ($0.15 diluted) for the Prior Year’s Quarter. Refer to the schedule below for a detailed analysis of the major changes that impacted revenue and net income for the six and three months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006:

NOI is based on operating revenue and expenses directly associated with the operations of the real estate properties, but excludes deferred rents (straight lining), lease amortization, depreciation, and financing costs. FREIT assesses and measures segment operating results based on NOI. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flow as measured by generally accepted accounting principles, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

Page 11

COMMERCIAL SEGMENT

FREIT’s commercial properties consist of nine (9) properties totaling approximately 1,100,000 sq. ft. of retail space and 138,000 sq. ft. of office space.  Seven (7) are multi-tenanted retail or office centers, and one is a single tenanted store. In addition, FREIT has leased land and receives rental income from a tenant who has built and operates a bank branch on land FREIT owns in Rockaway, NJ.

As indicated in the above Segment information table, revenue from FREIT’s commercial segment for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased by 2.2% and 2.9%, respectively, over the comparable prior year’s periods. NOI for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased by 0.4% and 1.0%, over the comparable prior year’s periods. Revenues and NOI for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter were adversely affected by the anticipated planned renovation at our Damascus Shopping Center property located in Damascus, MD (the “Damascus Center”), which caused a temporary decline in occupancy levels. Average occupancy rates for FREIT’s commercial segment for the Current Six Months was at 93.8%, exclusive of the Damascus Center, compared to 93.0% for the prior year’s period. As a result of this renovation, temporary declines in both revenue and NOI were experienced at the Damascus Center of $183,000 and $187,000, respectively for the Current Six Month period and $86,000 and $97,000, respectively for the Current Quarter. (See discussion below).

Development Activities:

The Rotunda, Baltimore, MD: Acquired in July 2005, the property is on 11.5 acres of land and is currently configured into about 138,000 sq. ft. of office space and 78,000 sq. ft. of retail space on the lower level of the main building. We are planning a modernization and expansion of the retail space, as well as the development of residential apartment units as allowed by the current zoning. Final development plans, however, are subject to approval by local governmental authorities.

Damascus Center, Damascus, MD: FREIT is planning a redevelopment of the Damascus Center. Building plans for Phase I have been completed and have been approved by governmental agencies. It is anticipated that Phase I construction will begin in 2007. Because of this redevelopment, current leases for certain tenants are being allowed to expire and are not being renewed. This has caused occupancy to decline, on a temporary basis, during the construction phase.

RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT

With the completion of the 129-unit apartment community at The Boulders, FREIT now operates ten (10) multi-family apartment communities totaling 1,115 apartment units. As indicated in the table above, revenue from our residential segment for the Current Six Months increased 17.3% to $9,262,000 and NOI for the same period is also up 25.9% to $5,009,000. For the Current Quarter, revenue increased 17.2% to $4,642,000 and NOI is also up 27.6% to $2,652,000. Fiscal 2007 will be the first full year of operation for The Boulders. (See discussion below.) The contribution made by The Boulders to the Current Six Months and Current Quarter’s revenue and NOI, as compared to the Prior Year’s revenue and NOI is reflected in the following chart:

	Six Months Ended April 30,
	2007						2006
	Residential		The		Same		Same
$(000)	Properties		Boulders		Properties		Properties
Revenues	$	9,262	$	1,068	$	8,194	$	7,896

Expenses		1,990		258		1,732		1,884
NOI	$	2,652	$	314	$	2,338	$	2,078

Revenues from FREIT’s residential properties continue to increase. Average occupancy rates for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter, exclusive of The Boulders property, which was not completed until late fiscal 2006, increased to 95.8% and 95.5%, respectively, compared to 95% and 95.1% for the prior year’s periods. The occupancy level at The Boulders was in excess of 96% at the end of April 2007, and averaged 82% during the Current Six Month period.

Page 12

Our residential revenue is principally composed of monthly apartment rental income. Total rental income is a factor of occupancy and monthly apartment rents. Monthly average residential rents at the end of the Current Six Months and the Prior Six Month period were $1,452 and $1,377, respectively. A 1% decline in annual average occupancy, or a 1% decline in average rents from current levels, results in an annual revenue decline of approximately $194,000 and $185,000, respectively.

Capital expenditures: Since all of our apartment communities, with the exception of The Boulders, were constructed more than 25 years ago, we tend to spend more in any given year on maintenance and capital improvements than may be spent on newer properties. A major renovation program has been started at The Pierre Towers apartment complex (“The Pierre”). We intend to modernize, where required, all apartments and modernize some of the buildings’ mechanical services. This renovation is expected to cost approximately $2 - 4 million and take, at least, several years to complete. These costs will be financed from operating cash flow and cash reserves. Through April 30, 2007, we expended $2.5 million in capital improvements at The Pierre, including approximately $675,000 during the first six months of the year.

The Boulders, Rockaway Township, NJ

Construction started on this 129-unit garden apartment community in July 2005 and was completed during August 2006. Development costs have been financed from construction financing and from funds available from our cash and cash equivalents. Certificates of Occupancy for all of the buildings have been received, and tenants started taking occupancy during June 2006. As of May 18, 2007 occupancy was in excess of 96%. The Boulders is expected to add to future earnings, cash flow and shareholder value.

(1) Mortgages not in place at beginning of fiscal 2006.

Financing costs before capitalized amounts for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased 7.5% and 4.8%, over the prior year’s reporting periods.

Increased financing levels at The Boulders (construction and permanent loans) resulted in increased financing costs of $531,000 for the Current Six Months. Our acquisition loan for The Rotunda property of $22.5 million bears a floating interest rate. Higher interest rates over the course of the last year raised the level of interest expense for the Rotunda by $115,000, to $788,000 for the Current Six Month period.

CERTAIN MINORITY DISTRIBUTIONS

Westwood Hills, LLC (“WH”), our 40% owned subsidiary, has a capital deficit. This deficit resulted primarily from distributions to WH’s members, of proceeds from mortgage financings, which were in excess of the carrying basis of WH’s assets. The higher mortgage amounts provided by lenders reflected the increased value of WH’s property.

During the Prior Year’s Quarter, WH made a $150,000 distribution to its members. FREIT received $60,000 and the members owning 60% (“Minority”) received $90,000. Since WH has a capital deficit and its members are under no obligation to restore their negative capital accounts, under GAAP FREIT is required to charge its income statement for $90,000, the amount of the distribution received by the Minority. During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, WH made a $250,000 distribution to its members, of which the Minority received $150,000. FREIT reflected this distribution as a charge to its income statement for $150,000. These charges had no economic effect or cost to FREIT. No such distributions were made during the Current Quarter.

Page 13

NET INVESTMENT INCOME

Net investment income for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased 99% and 112% to $225,000 and $138,000, respectively, over the comparable prior year’s periods. Net investment income is principally derived from interest earned from cash on deposit in institutional money market funds and interest earned from secured loans receivable (loans made to Hekemian employees for their equity investment in Grande Rotunda, LLC, a limited liability company, in which FREIT owns a 60% equity interest and Damascus Center, LLC, a limited liability company, in which FREIT owns a 70% equity interest). The increase in net investment income for the current year was primarily attributable to interest income relative to secured loans made in connection with the sale of an equity interest in the Damascus Center, effective October 31, 2006.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“G & A”)

During the Current Six Months and Current Quarter, G & A was $803,000 and $413,000, respectively, as compared to $526,000 and $281,000 for the prior year’s periods. The increases for the Current Six Month and Current Quarter periods were primarily attributable to increases in auditing fees of $220,000 and $50,000, respectively.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation expense for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter was $2,655,000 and $1,349,000, respectively, an increase of $388,000 and $212,000 over the prior year’s comparable periods. The increase was primarily attributable to depreciation related to The Boulders property, completed in August 2006.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financial condition remains strong. Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities was $5.5 million for the Current Six Months compared to $4.0 million for the Prior Six Months. We expect that cash provided by operating activities will be adequate to cover mandatory debt service payments, recurring capital improvements and dividends necessary to retain qualification as a REIT (90% of taxable income).

Credit Line:

FREIT has an $18 million line of credit provided by the Provident Bank. The line of credit is for three years but can be cancelled by the bank, at its will, at each anniversary date. Draws against the credit line can be used for general corporate purposes, for property acquisitions, construction activities, and letters of credit. Draws against the credit line are secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing Shopping Center, Franklin Lakes, NJ, retail space in Glen Rock, NJ, Lakewood Apartments, Lakewood, NJ, Palisades Manor Apartments, Palisades Park, NJ, and Grandview Apartments, Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. .Interest rates on draws will be set at the time of each draw for 30, 60, or 90-day periods, based on our choice of the prime rate or at 175 basis points over the 30, 60, or 90-day LIBOR rates at the time of the draws.

In connection with its construction activities in Rockaway, NJ, FREIT had drawn down $1.5 million and further utilized the credit line for the issuance of a $2 million Letter of Credit (“LoC”). The $1.5 million was repaid during our 1^st Quarter and the $2 million LoC was retired on May 16, 2007. During the Current Quarter, FREIT utilized $15.8 million of its credit line to repay currently maturing mortgage debt secured by Westridge Square. The $15.8 million utilized under the credit line was subsequently repaid on April 25, 2007 using proceeds from the refinancing of the Westridge Square debt. (See discussion below under “Refinancing of debt obligation” for additional information.) $18 million is currently available under the line of credit.

As described in the segment analysis above, construction of The Boulders in Rockaway Township, NJ has been completed. Construction costs were funded from draws against a construction loan. Upon completion of construction, the construction loan of approximately $14 million was converted to a permanent loan with additional funding to bring the permanent loan balance up to $20.7 million. We also are planning a redevelopment of the Damascus Center, in Damascus, MD, and an expansion and redevelopment of The Rotunda in Baltimore, MD.  The total capital required for these projects is estimated at $19 million, and $145 million, respectively. We expect to finance these costs, in part, from construction and mortgage financing and, in part, from available cash.  We expect these redevelopment projects to add to revenues, income, cash flow, and shareholder value.

Page 14

At April 30, 2007, FREIT’s aggregate outstanding mortgage debt was $190.5 million and bears a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%, and an average life of approximately 6.6 years. These fixed rate mortgages are subject to amortization schedules that are longer than the term of the mortgages. As such, balloon payments (unpaid principal amounts at mortgage due date) for all mortgage debt will be required as follows:

Fiscal Year	2008	2010	2013	2014	2016	2017	2019	2022
($ in millions)
Mortgage "Balloon" Payments	$28.4	$12.3	$8.0	$26.1	$24.7	$22.0	$28.3	$14.4

The following table shows the estimated fair value and carrying value of our long-term debt at April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006:

	April 30,	October 31,
(In Millions)	2007	2006
Fair Value	$193.8	$184.4
Carrying Value	$190.5	$180.7

Fair values are estimated based on market interest rates at April 30, 2007 and October 31, 2006 and on discounted cash flow analysis. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect these fair value estimates.

FREIT expects to re-finance the individual mortgages with new mortgages when their terms expire. To this extent we have exposure to interest rate risk on our fixed rate debt obligations. If interest rates, at the time any individual mortgage note is due, are higher than the current fixed interest rate, higher debt service may be required, and/or re-financing proceeds may be less than the amount of mortgage debt being retired. For example, at April 30, 2007 a 1% interest rate increase would reduce the fair value of our debt by $10.0 million, and a 1% decrease would increase the fair value by $10.9 million.

Refinancing of debt obligation: On April 2, 2007, FREIT repaid the outstanding principal balance with respect to its $19.2 million 8.31% mortgage note due on July 1, 2007, which was secured by it’s Westridge Square commercial property. The outstanding principal balance of $15.8 million was repaid using funds available on hand and borrowings from FREIT’s credit line. The decision to retire the debt early was made in order to take advantage of favorable interest rates relative to FREIT’s credit line. No prepayment penalty was incurred as a result of the early retirement of this debt.  On April 25, 2007, FREIT refinanced the above mentioned mortgage debt with the placement of a $22 million 5.55% mortgage note due in May 2017, also secured by FREIT’s Westridge Square commercial property. This new mortgage note will be “interest only” through the maturity date. It is FREIT’s intent to use the additional proceeds to fund existing capital projects.

FREIT also has interest rate exposure on its floating rate loans. Currently, FREIT’s only floating rate loan outstanding, is its $22.5 million acquisition loan for The Rotunda. A 1% rate fluctuation would impact earnings by $226,000.

We believe that the values of our properties will be adequate to command re-financing proceeds equal to or higher than the mortgage debt to be re-financed. We continually review our debt levels to determine if additional debt can prudently be utilized for property acquisition additions to our real estate portfolio that will increase income and cash flow to shareholders.

Interest rate swap contract: To reduce interest rate volatility, FREIT uses “pay fixed, receive floating” interest rate swaps to convert floating interest rates to fixed interest rates over the terms of certain loans. We enter into these swap contracts with a counterparty that is usually a high-quality commercial bank.

In essence, we agree to pay our counterparty a fixed rate of interest on a dollar amount of notional principal (which corresponds to our mortgage debt) over a term equal to the term of the mortgage note. Our counterparty, in return, agrees to pay us a short-term rate of interest, generally LIBOR, on that same notional amount over the same term as our mortgage note.

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” requires us to mark-to-market fixed pay interest rate swaps. As the floating interest rate varies from time-to-time over the term of the contract, the value of the contract will change upward or downward. If the floating rate is higher than the fixed rate, the value of the contract goes up and there is a gain and an asset. If the floating rate is less than the fixed rate, there is a loss and a liability. These gains or losses will not affect our income statement. Changes in the fair value of these swap contracts will be reported in other comprehensive income and appear in the equity section of our balance sheet. This gain or loss represents the economic consequence of liquidating our fixed rate swap contracts and replacing them with like-duration funding at current market rates, something we would likely never do.

Page 15

FREIT had a variable interest rate mortgage securing its Patchogue, NY property. To reduce interest rate fluctuations, FREIT entered into an interest rate swap contract. This rate swap contract effectively converted variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments. The contract was initially based on a notional amount of approximately $6,769,000 ($6,034,000 at April 30, 2007). FREIT has the following derivative-related risks with its swap contract: 1) early termination risk, and 2) counterparty credit risk.

Early Termination Risk: If FREIT wants to terminate its swap contract before maturity, it has to be bought out or terminated at market value; i.e., the difference in the present value of the anticipated net cash flows from each of the swap’s parties. If current variable interest rates are below FREIT’s fixed interest rate payments, this could be costly. Conversely, if interest rates rise above FREIT’s fixed interest payments and FREIT elected early termination, FREIT would realize a gain on termination. At April 30, 2007, FREIT’s swap contract was in the money. If FREIT had terminated its contract at that date it would have realized a gain of about $58,000. This amount has been included as an asset in FREIT’s balance sheet as at April 30, 2007, and the change (gain or loss) between reporting periods included in comprehensive income.

Counterparty Credit Risk: Each party to a swap contract bears the risk that its counterparty will default on its obligation to make a periodic payment. FREIT reduces this risk by entering swap contracts only with major financial institutions that are experienced market makers in the derivatives market.

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (“FFO”):

Many consider FFO as the standard measurement of a REIT’s performance. We compute FFO as follows:

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

	Diluted		6,916			6,753			6,915			6,889
*  Restated

FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and therefore should not be considered a substitute for net income as a measure of results of operations or for cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, the application and calculation of FFO by certain other REITs may vary materially from that of FREIT’s, and therefore FREIT’s FFO and the FFO of other REITs may not be directly comparable.

INFLATION

Inflation can impact the financial performance of FREIT in various ways. Our commercial tenant leases normally provide that the tenants bear all or a portion of most operating expenses, which can reduce the impact of inflationary increases on FREIT. Apartment leases are normally for a one-year term, which may allow us to seek increased rents as leases renew or when new tenants are obtained.

At the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of FREIT’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with participation of FREIT’s management, including FREIT’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, who concluded that FREIT’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There has been no change in FREIT’s internal control over financial reporting during the first six months of fiscal 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, FREIT’s internal control over financial reporting.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in FREIT’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in FREIT’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including FREIT’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
