FIRST REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST OF NEW JERSEY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of presentation:

First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey was organized on November 1, 1961 as a New Jersey Business Trust. On July 1, 2021, First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey completed the change of its form of organization from a New Jersey real estate investment trust to a Maryland corporation. First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey, Inc. (“FREIT”, “Trust”, “us”, “we”, “our” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation.

FREIT is organized and will continue to operate in such a manner as to qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and its stock is traded on the over-the-counter market under the trading symbol FREVS.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements and pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by 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 three-month period ended January 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in FREIT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2025.

Note 2 – Recently issued accounting standards:

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information with respect to the effective tax rate reconciliation and to disclose the disaggregation by jurisdiction of income tax expense and income taxes paid. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this standard will only impact disclosures and will have no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date” ("ASU 2025-01"). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of these standards on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Dividends and earnings per share:

On January 15, 2026, FREIT’s Board of Directors (“Board”) declared a dividend of approximately $747,000 ($0.10 per share on the common stock of FREIT) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, which was paid on March 13, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2026.

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common equity (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period (denominator). 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, were issued during the period using the Treasury Stock method. Under the Treasury Stock method, the assumption is that the proceeds received upon exercise of the options, including the unrecognized stock option compensation expense attributable to future services, are used to repurchase FREIT’s stock at the average market price during the period, thereby increasing the number of shares to be added in computing diluted earnings per share.

For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, only basic earnings per share is presented since there are no outstanding stock options or other diluted securities.

Note 4 – Fair Value Measurements:

Financial assets that are measured at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of (i) investments in U.S. Treasury securities (classified as available for sale) and (ii) an interest rate swap contract.

Page 11

In accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt Securities”, FREIT is accounting for the investments in U.S. Treasury securities classified as available for sale in the amount of approximately $17,292,000 and $18,174,000, as of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025, respectively, at fair value. Since these available for sale securities are being issued at a discount, the discount is being accreted over the term of the U.S. Treasury securities and recognized as investment income on the condensed consolidated statements of income and reflected as accreted interest in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, this amounted to approximately $138,000 and $257,000, respectively. Any changes in the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss in other comprehensive income. Upon sale, the realized gain or loss related to these investments is recognized in investment income in the condensed consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, FREIT recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $0 and $13,000, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income representing the change in the fair value of these available for sale investments in U.S. Treasury securities during such periods. The fair values are based on quoted market prices (level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as provided by authoritative guidance).

In accordance with “Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815")”, FREIT has been accounting for the FREIT Regency, LLC (“Regency”) and Station Place on Monmouth (“Station Place”) interest rate swap contracts as cash flow hedges marking these contracts to market, taking into account present interest rates compared to the contracted fixed rate over the life of the contract and recording the unrealized gain or loss on the swaps in comprehensive income. On December 15, 2024, the Regency loan and its corresponding interest rate swap contract matured with no settlement due at maturity. (See Note 7 for further details.) For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, FREIT recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $30,000 and $42,000, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income representing the change in the fair value of these cash flow hedges during such periods. As of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was an asset of approximately $180,000 and $210,000, respectively for the Station Place swap. The fair values are based on observable inputs (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as provided by authoritative guidance).

Note 5 – Investment in tenancy-in-common:

On February 28, 2020, FREIT reorganized S and A Commercial Associates Limited Partnership (“S&A”) from a partnership into a tenancy-in-common form of ownership (“TIC”). Prior to this reorganization, FREIT owned a 65% partnership interest in S&A, which owned 100% of the Pierre Towers property located in Hackensack, New Jersey through its 100% interest in Pierre Towers, LLC. Pursuant to the TIC agreement, FREIT has a 65% undivided interest in the Pierre Towers property. FREIT does not have a controlling interest as the TIC is under joint control. Based on the guidance of ASC 810, “Consolidation”, FREIT’s investment in the TIC is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

FREIT’s investment in the TIC was approximately $16.9 million at both January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025. For the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, FREIT recognized a loss on investment in TIC of approximately $1,000 and income of approximately $9,000, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Hekemian & Co., Inc. (“Hekemian & Co.”) manages the Pierre Towers property pursuant to a management agreement between the owners of the TIC and Hekemian & Co. dated as of February 28, 2020, which renews for successive one (1) year terms unless either party gives written notice of termination to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the then-current term. The management agreement expires on February 28, 2027.

The management agreement requires the payment of management fees equal to 5% of rents collected. Management fees, charged to operations, were approximately $107,000 and $122,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Pierre Towers property also uses the resources of the Hekemian & Co. insurance department to secure various insurance coverages for its property. Hekemian & Co. is paid a commission for these services. There were no such commissions charged to operations for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

Note 6 - Management agreement, fees and transactions with related party:

Hekemian & Co. currently manages all of the properties owned by FREIT and its affiliates. The management agreement between FREIT and Hekemian & Co. dated as of November 1, 2001 (“Management Agreement”) has been renewed and will expire on October 31, 2027. The Management Agreement is automatically renewed for successive periods of two years unless either party gives not less than six (6) months prior notice of non-renewal.

The Management Agreement requires the payment of management fees equal to 4% to 5% of rents collected. Such fees charged to operations were approximately $345,000 and $368,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In addition, the Management Agreement provides for the payment to Hekemian & Co. of leasing commissions, as well as the reimbursement of certain operating expenses, such as payroll and insurance costs, incurred on behalf of FREIT. Such commissions and reimbursements amounted to approximately $130,000 and $93,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. FREIT also uses the resources of the Hekemian & Co. insurance department to secure various insurance coverages for its properties and subsidiaries. Hekemian & Co. is paid a commission for these services. Such commissions charged to operations were approximately $34,000 and $9,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

From time to time, FREIT engages Hekemian & Co., or certain affiliates of Hekemian & Co., to provide additional services, such as consulting services related to development, property sales and financing activities of FREIT. Separate fee arrangements are

Page 13

negotiated between Hekemian & Co. and FREIT with respect to such additional services. Such fees incurred for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 were approximately $0 and $35,000, respectively. Fees incurred during the three months ended January 31, 2025 related to a commission to Hekemian & Co. for the modification and extension of the loan on the Regency which was included in the unamortized debt issuance costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025.

(A)

On December 15, 2024, the mortgage secured by an apartment building located in Middletown, New York and the corresponding interest rate swap contract on its underlying loan came due with no settlement of the swap contract due at maturity. Effective December 15, 2024, FREIT Regency, LLC entered into a loan extension and modification agreement with the lender of this loan, Provident Bank, with a then outstanding loan balance of approximately $13.9 million. Under the terms and conditions of this loan extension and modification, the maturity date of this loan is extended for three years to December 15, 2027, the interest rate on the outstanding debt is based on a fixed interest rate of 6.05% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $84,521 are required.

(B)

On October 31, 2023, FREIT exercised its right, pursuant to the loan agreement held with Valley National Bank, to extend the term of its loan with a then outstanding balance of approximately $16.6 million and secured by the Westwood Plaza shopping center located in Westwood, New Jersey for one additional year from an initial maturity date of February 1, 2024 to a new maturity date of February 1, 2025. This loan extension was based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and was payable based on monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $166,727. Additionally, FREIT funded the interest reserve escrow account for this loan (“Escrow”) with an additional $112,556, increasing the Escrow balance to $2,000,722, which represented the annualized principal and interest payments for one (1) year under this loan extension. Effective February 1, 2025, Valley National Bank extended this loan for 90 days from a maturity date of February 1, 2025 to a maturity date of May 1, 2025 under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement.

Effective May 1, 2025, FREIT entered into a loan extension and modification agreement with Valley National Bank and paid down this loan by approximately $5.7 million (including deferred interest of approximately $0.2 million) bringing the loan balance to $10 million. Under the terms and conditions of this loan extension and modification, the maturity date of this loan is extended for one year to May 1, 2026, the interest rate on the outstanding debt is based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $107,978 are required. Additionally, the Escrow balance was reduced from $2,000,722 to $1,295,739 resulting in a refund to FREIT of $704,983. This Escrow is held at Valley National Bank and in the event of a default on this loan, the bank shall be permitted to use the proceeds from the Escrow to make monthly debt service payments on the loan.

(C)

On August 1, 2025, the mortgage secured by the Preakness Shopping center located in Wayne, New Jersey, reached its maturity date. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to work with the current lender, ConnectOne Bank, on a potential modification

Page 14

and extension of the loan. ConnectOne Bank has issued several extensions of the loan’s maturity date, with the most recent extension through May 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to evaluate all options for refinancing or replacing the loan. Management expects this loan to be further extended, however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for a modification, extension or replacement of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached.

FREIT’s revolving line of credit provided by Provident Bank was renewed for a three-year term ending on October 31, 2026. Draws against the credit line can be used for working capital needs and standby letters of credit. Draws against the credit line are secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing Shopping center in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and retail space in Glen Rock, New Jersey. The total line of credit is $13 million and the interest rate on the amount outstanding is based on a floating interest rate of prime minus 25 basis points with a floor of 6.75%. As of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding and $13 million was available under the line of credit.

While FREIT intends to renew or refinance its debt obligations as they become due, there can be no assurance that it will be successful or, if successful, that the new terms will be similar to the terms of its existing debt obligations or as favorable.

Principal amounts (in thousands of dollars) due under the above obligations in each of the next five years ending October 31, is as follows:

Year Ending October 31,	Amount
2026	$	60,618	(a)

Fair value of long-term debt:

The following table shows the estimated fair value and net carrying value of FREIT’s long-term debt at January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025:

($ in Millions)	January 31, 2026	October 31, 2025

Fair Value	$117.8	$118.4
Carrying Value, Net	$120.4	$120.8

Fair values are estimated based on market interest rates at January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025 and on a discounted cash flow analysis. Changes in assumptions or estimation methods may significantly affect these fair value estimates. The fair value is based on observable inputs (level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as provided by authoritative guidance).

Note 8 - Segment information:

ASC 280-10, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", establishes 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 is comprised of five (5) properties and the residential segment is comprised of six (6) 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025. The chief operating and decision-making group responsible for oversight and strategic decisions of FREIT's commercial segment, residential segment and corporate/other is comprised of FREIT’s Board.

FREIT, through its chief operating and decision-making group, 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), depreciation, financing costs and other items. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, 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 condensed consolidated net income attributable to common equity for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. Asset information is not reported since FREIT does not use this measure to assess performance.

Note 9 – Income taxes:

FREIT has elected to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes and as such intends to distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income (to maintain its status as a REIT) to its stockholders as dividends for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, FREIT has distributed 100% of its ordinary taxable income to its stockholders as dividends. Accordingly, no provision for federal or state income taxes was recorded in FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025.

As of January 31, 2026, FREIT had no material uncertain income tax positions. The tax years subsequent to and including the fiscal year ended October 31, 2022 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions.

Note 10 – Equity Incentive Plan:

On February 20, 2025, in accordance with FREIT’s Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Compensation Committee of FREIT’s Board recommended to the Board and the Board approved that for services rendered and to be rendered in Fiscal 2025, in lieu of cash compensation in the amount of $20,000, each director was awarded shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, (the “Shares”) in FREIT. Based on the closing price of FREIT’s Shares on February 21, 2025 of $16.76 per Share, the Board approved an award of 1,193 Shares of FREIT to each director serving on FREIT’s Board. As such, 1,193 Shares were issued to each director on February 20, 2025 and upon issuance were deemed fully paid and non-assessable.

On March 12, 2026, in accordance with the Plan, the Compensation Committee of FREIT’s Board recommended to the Board and the Board approved that for services rendered and to be rendered in Fiscal 2026, in lieu of cash compensation in the amount of $20,000, each director was awarded shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value, (the “Shares”) in FREIT. Based on the closing price of FREIT’s Shares on March 12, 2026 of $12.62 per Share, the Board approved an award of 1,584 Shares of FREIT to each director serving on FREIT’s Board. As such, 1,584 Shares were issued to each director on March 12, 2026 and upon issuance were deemed fully paid and non-assessable.

As of January 31, 2026, 419,709 shares are available for issuance under the Plan.

Note 11 – Rental Income:

Commercial tenants:

Fixed lease income under our commercial operating leases generally includes fixed minimum lease consideration, which is accrued on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Variable lease income includes consideration based on sales, as well as reimbursements for real estate taxes, maintenance, insurance and certain other operating expenses of the properties.

Minimum fixed lease consideration (in thousands of dollars) under non-cancelable tenant operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding variable lease consideration and rents from tenants for which collectability is deemed to be constrained, for the years ending October 31, as of January 31, 2026, is as follows:

Year Ending October 31,	Amount
2026	$	5,334
2027		4,435
2028		3,307
2029		3,019
2030		2,837
Thereafter		3,653
Total	$	22,585

The above amounts assume that all leases that expire are not renewed and, accordingly, neither month-to-month nor rentals from replacement tenants are included.

Minimum future rentals do not include contingent rentals, which may be received under certain leases on the basis of percentage of reported tenants' sales volume. Rental income that is contingent on future events is not included in income until the contingency is resolved. Contingent rentals included in income for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 were not material.

Residential tenants:

Lease terms for residential tenants are generally for one to two years in term.

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

Cautionary Statement Identifying Important Factors That Could Cause First Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey, Inc.’s (“FREIT”) 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 and are based on estimates, projections, beliefs, data, methods and assumptions of management of FREIT at the time of such statements regarding future results of operations, economic performance, financial condition and achievements of FREIT, and do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These forward-looking statements are identified through the use of words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” or words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions.

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. These and certain other uncertainties, factors and risks, including those risk factors set forth and further described in Part I, Item 1A entitled “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, and other risks described in our subsequent filings with the SEC, may cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic and business conditions, including the purchase of retail products over the Internet, which will, among other things, affect demand for rental space, the availability of prospective tenants, lease rents, the financial condition of tenants and the default rate on leases, operating and administrative expenses and the availability of financing; interest rate risk; adverse changes in FREIT’s real estate markets, including, among other things, competition with other real estate owners, competition confronted by tenants at FREIT’s commercial properties; governmental actions and initiatives; environmental/safety requirements; risks of real estate development and acquisitions; and public health crises, epidemics and pandemics. The risks with respect to the development of real estate include: increased construction costs, inability to obtain construction financing, or unfavorable terms of financing that may be available, unforeseen construction delays and the failure to complete construction within budget.

OVERVIEW

FREIT is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is self-administered and externally managed. FREIT owns a portfolio of residential apartment and commercial properties. FREIT’s revenues consist primarily of rental income and other related revenues from its residential and commercial properties. FREIT’s properties are primarily located in northern New Jersey and New York.

The economic and financial environment: The U.S. unemployment and inflation rates eased in early 2026. The unemployment rate declined to 4.3% in January 2026, down from roughly 4.4% late in 2025, while CPI inflation slowed from 3.0% in October 2025 to 2.4% in January 2026. Mortgage rates on 30-year fixed rate loans, though still elevated compared to pre-2022 norms, have eased into the low 6% range, offering slightly improved affordability. The broader economy showed resilience over the summer, with real GDP growth reaching an annualized 4.4% in the third quarter of 2025, which is the fastest pace in two years. However, growth slowed to 1.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, reflecting softer consumer spending, a pullback in government outlays tied to the Fall shutdown and a decline in exports. Given the economic environment, the Federal Reserve held the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75% at its January 2026 meeting, marking a pause after three consecutive cuts in late 2025. Uncertainty surrounding tariffs and their broader economic impact remains a notable risk.

Residential Properties: Our residential portfolio continues to generate positive cash flow. While average rents on turned units and existing renewals remain generally stable across much of the portfolio, we are seeing a modest but noticeable easing in market strength compared to prior quarters. The stability should meaningfully contribute to FREIT’s income over time but it is uncertain what impact elevated interest rates may have on these properties over the next year.

Commercial Properties: While the Franklin Crossing and Glen Rock shopping centers continue to maintain higher occupancies and strong net operating incomes, the vacancy rates at the Westwood Plaza and Preakness shopping centers remain elevated. Management, along with third-party advisors, is actively working to attract quality tenants and explore redevelopment options to revitalize these spaces. Additionally, the somewhat elevated interest rates could have an adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of our existing commercial tenants.

Debt Financing Availability: Financing has been available to FREIT and its affiliates. Certain recent refinancings and loan modifications/extensions have been at higher interest rates and for shorter terms. In accordance with certain loan agreements, FREIT may be required to meet or maintain certain financial covenants throughout the term of the loan.

Page 19

On October 31, 2023, FREIT exercised its right, pursuant to the loan agreement held with Valley National Bank, to extend the term of its loan secured by the Westwood Plaza shopping center located in Westwood, New Jersey, with a then outstanding balance of approximately $16.6 million, for one additional year from an initial maturity date of February 1, 2024 to a new maturity date of February 1, 2025. This loan extension was based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and was payable based on monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $166,727. Additionally, FREIT funded the interest reserve escrow account for this loan (“Escrow”) with an additional $112,556, increasing the Escrow balance to $2,000,722, which represented the annualized principal and interest payments for one (1) year under this loan extension. Effective February 1, 2025, Valley National Bank extended this loan for 90 days from a maturity date of February 1, 2025 to a maturity date of May 1, 2025 under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement.

Effective May 1, 2025, FREIT entered into a loan extension and modification agreement with Valley National Bank and paid down this loan by approximately $5.7 million (including deferred interest of approximately $0.2 million) bringing the loan balance to $10 million. Under the terms and conditions of this loan extension and modification, the maturity date of this loan is extended for one year to May 1, 2026, the interest rate on the outstanding debt is based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $107,978 are required. The pay down of this loan has resulted in annual debt service savings of approximately $705,000. Additionally, the Escrow balance was reduced from $2,000,722 to $1,295,739 resulting in a refund to FREIT of $704,983. This Escrow is held at Valley National Bank and in the event of a default on this loan, the bank shall be permitted to use the proceeds from the Escrow to make monthly debt service payments on the loan. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)

On August 1, 2025, the mortgage in the amount of $25,000,000, secured by the Preakness shopping center located in Wayne, New Jersey, reached its maturity date. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to work with the current lender, ConnectOne Bank, on a potential modification and extension of the loan. ConnectOne Bank has issued several extensions of the loan’s maturity date, with the most recent extension through May 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to evaluate all options for refinancing or replacing the loan. Management expects this loan to be further extended, however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for a modification, extension or replacement of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)

FREIT’s revolving line of credit provided by Provident Bank was renewed for a three-year term ending on October 31, 2026. Draws against the credit line can be used for working capital needs and standby letters of credit. Draws against the credit line are secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing shopping center in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and retail space in Glen Rock, New Jersey. The total line of credit is $13 million and the interest rate on the amount outstanding is based on a floating interest rate of prime minus 25 basis points with a floor of 6.75%. As of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding and $13 million was available under the line of credit.

Operating Cash Flow: FREIT expects that cash provided by operating activities and cash reserves will be adequate to cover mandatory debt service payments (including payments of interest, but excluding balloon payments, which are expected to be refinanced and/or extended), real estate taxes, recurring capital improvements at its properties and other needs to maintain its status as a REIT for at least a period of one year from the date of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Pursuant to the 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 fiscal year ended October 31, 2025, have been applied consistently as of January 31, 2026, and for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025. 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 earned 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 receivable 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 collectability.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: FREIT assesses the carrying value of long-lived assets periodically, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of certain assets 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.

Real Estate Development Costs: It is FREIT’s policy to capitalize pre-development costs, which generally include legal and professional fees and other directly related third-party costs. Real estate taxes and interest costs incurred during the development and construction phases are also capitalized. FREIT ceases capitalization of these costs when the project or portion thereof becomes operational, or when construction has been postponed. In the event of postponement, capitalization of these costs will recommence once construction on the project resumes.

See Note 2 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for recently issued accounting standards.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Real estate revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2026 (“Current Quarter”) increased 3.2% to $7,504,000 compared to $7,269,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2025 (“Prior Year’s Quarter”).

The increase in revenue of approximately $235,000 for the Current Quarter was primarily attributable to the residential segment driven by higher base rents across all properties while the average occupancy decreased from 96.8% in the Prior Year’s Quarter to 95.5% in the Current Quarter.

The schedule below provides a detailed analysis of the major changes that impacted net income-common equity for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025:

	Three Months Ended

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries		141			113			28

Net income attributable to common equity	$	943		$	614		$	329

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the Current Quarter is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other period. The table above includes income from real estate operations, which is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not a measure of operating results or cash flow as measured by GAAP, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.

Net income-common equity for the Current Quarter was $943,000 ($0.13 per share basic and diluted) compared to $614,000 ($0.08 per share basic and diluted) for the Prior Year’s Quarter.

The increase in net income-common equity of approximately $329,000 for the Current Quarter was primarily attributable to the following: (a) an increase in revenue of approximately $235,000 (FREIT’s share was $194,000); (b) a decline in legal and professional expenses of approximately $176,000 primarily due to advisory fee costs incurred in the Prior Year’s Quarter; partially offset by (c) a decrease in investment income of approximately $116,000. The decrease in investment income was primarily attributable to a $4.8 million decline in the combined average balance of cash and cash equivalents (including U.S. Treasury securities available for sale) as compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter.

(Refer to the segment disclosure below for a more detailed discussion of the financial performance of FREIT’s commercial and residential segments.)

SEGMENT INFORMATION

The following table sets forth comparative net operating income ("NOI") data for FREIT’s real estate segments and reconciles the NOI to condensed consolidated net income-common equity for the Current Quarter as compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter (see below for definition of NOI):

Net income attributable to common equity	$	943		$	614

NOI is based on operating revenue and expenses directly associated with the operations of the real estate properties, but excludes deferred rents (straight lining), depreciation, financing costs and other items. FREIT assesses and measures segment operating results based on NOI.

Same Property NOI: FREIT considers same property net operating income (“Same Property NOI”) to be a useful supplemental non-GAAP measure of its operating performance. FREIT defines same property within both the commercial and residential segments to be those properties that FREIT has owned and operated for both the current and prior periods presented, excluding those properties that FREIT acquired, sold or redeveloped during those periods. Any newly acquired property that has been in operation for less than a year, any property that is undergoing a major redevelopment but may still be in operation at less than full capacity, and/or any property that has been sold is not considered same property.

NOI and Same Property NOI are non-GAAP financial measures and are not measures of operating results or cash flow as measured by GAAP, and are 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.

COMMERCIAL SEGMENT

The commercial segment contains five (5) separate properties. Four of these properties are multi-tenanted retail centers and one is single tenanted on land located in Rockaway, New Jersey owned by FREIT from which it receives monthly rental income from a tenant who has built and operates a bank branch on the land.

As indicated in the table above under the caption Segment Information, total revenue and NOI from FREIT’s commercial segment for the Current Quarter increased by 1.2% and 7.4%, respectively, compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter. Average occupancy for all commercial properties for the Current Quarter decreased by 0.7% compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter.

The increase in revenue and NOI for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by an increase in revenue at the Westwood Plaza shopping center attributed to an increase in the base rental income received from TJ Maxx in the Current Quarter due to the expiration of TJ Maxx’s one-year co-tenancy clause in March 2025.

Same Property Operating Results: FREIT’s commercial segment currently contains five (5) same properties. (See definition of same property under Segment Information above.) Since all of FREIT’s commercial properties are considered same properties in the current fiscal year, refer to the preceding paragraphs for discussion of changes in same property results.

Page 23

Leasing: The following table reflects leasing activity at FREIT’s commercial properties for comparable leases (leases executed for spaces in which there was a tenant at some point during the previous twelve-month period) and non-comparable leases for the Current Quarter:

RETAIL:	Number of Leases		Lease Area (Sq. Ft.)		Weighted Average Lease Rate (per Sq. Ft.)		Weighted Average Prior Lease Rate (per Sq. Ft.)		% Increase (Decrease)		Tenant Improvement Allowance (per Sq. Ft.) (a)		Lease Commissions (per Sq. Ft.) (a)

Comparable leases (b)		2		4,642	$	24.40	$	24.40		0.0%	$	—	$	—

Non-comparable leases		1		8,000	$	18.90		N/A		N/A	$	—	$	0.95

Total leasing activity		3		12,642

(a) These leasing costs are presented as annualized costs per square foot and are allocated uniformly over the lease term

(b) This includes new tenant leases and/or modifications/extensions/renewals of existing tenant leases.

RESIDENTIAL SEGMENT

FREIT currently operates six (6) multi-family apartment buildings or complexes totaling 792 apartment units, excluding the Pierre Towers property, which was converted to a TIC (see Note 5 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements).

As indicated in the table above under the caption Segment Information, total revenue and NOI from FREIT’s residential segment for the Current Quarter increased by 3.6% and 7.3%, respectively, compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter. Average occupancy for all residential properties for the Current Quarter decreased by 1.3% compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter.

The increase in revenue and NOI for the Current Quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in base rents across all properties while the average occupancy rate decreased from 96.8% in the Prior Year’s Quarter to 95.5% in the Current Quarter.

Same Property Operating Results: FREIT’s residential segment currently contains six (6) same properties. (See definition of same property under Segment Information above.) Since all of FREIT’s residential properties are considered same properties in the current fiscal year, refer to the preceding paragraphs for discussion of changes in same property results.

FREIT’s 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 Quarter and the Prior Year’s Quarter were $2,433 and $2,341, 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 $231,000 and $221,000, respectively.

Capital expenditures: FREIT tends to spend more in any given year on maintenance and capital improvements at its residential properties which were constructed more than 25 years ago (Steuben Arms, Berdan Court and Westwood Hills properties) than on its newer properties (Boulders, Regency and Station Place properties). Funds for these capital projects are available from cash flow from the property's operations and cash reserves.

INTEREST EXPENSE INCLUDING AMORTIZATION OF DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS (“NET FINANCING COSTS”)

	Three Months Ended January 31,

Total net financing costs	$	1,861	$	1,873

(a) Includes the effect of an interest rate swap contract which effectively converts the floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate over the term of the loan.

Total net financing costs for the Current Quarter decreased by approximately $12,000 or 0.6%, compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter which was primarily attributable to the following: (a) a decrease of approximately $124,000 resulting from the $5.7 million pay

Page 24

down of the loan on the Westwood Plaza shopping center in May 2025; offset by (b) an increase of approximately $83,000 resulting from the extension fee paid to extend the loan on the Preakness shopping center in the Current Quarter.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Investment income for the Current Quarter was approximately $284,000 compared to $400,000 for the Prior Year’s Quarter. Investment income is principally derived from interest earned from cash on deposit in institutional money market funds and short-term U.S. treasury securities. The decrease in investment income by approximately $116,000 or 29% was primarily due to a $4.8 million decline in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents (including US Treasury securities available for sale) as compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“G&A”)

G&A for the Current Quarter was approximately $713,000 compared to $845,000 for the Prior Year’s Quarter. The primary components of G&A are legal and professional fees, directors’ fees, corporate expenses and accounting/auditing fees. The decline in G&A of approximately $132,000 or 15.6% for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by a decline in legal and professional expenses of approximately $176,000 due to advisory fee costs incurred in the Prior Year’s Quarter.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation expense for the Current Quarter was approximately $721,000 compared to $723,000 for the Prior Year’s Quarter.

Page 25

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $1,346,000 for the Current Quarter compared to approximately $1,519,000 for the Prior Year’s Quarter. FREIT expects that cash provided by operating activities and cash reserves will be adequate to cover mandatory debt service payments (including payments of interest, but excluding balloon payments, which are expected to be refinanced and/or extended), real estate taxes, dividends, recurring capital improvements at its properties and other needs to maintain its status as a REIT for at least a period of one year from the date of filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

As of January 31, 2026, FREIT had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling approximately $22,093,000, compared to approximately $21,528,000 at October 31, 2025. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Current Quarter of approximately $565,000 was primarily attributable to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $1,346,000 and net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $911,000 offset by net cash used in financing activities of approximately $1,692,000. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was primarily attributed to the following: (a) proceeds received from maturities of U.S. Treasury securities of approximately $12,376,000; (b) cash provided by operating activities net of dividends paid of approximately $599,000; offset by (c) the purchase of investments in U.S. Treasury securities of approximately $11,356,000; (d) repayment of mortgages of approximately $463,000; (e) distributions to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries of approximately $360,000; and (f) deferred financing costs of approximately $122,000 paid in the Current Quarter for the extension of the loan on the Preakness shopping center.

Credit Line: FREIT’s revolving line of credit provided by Provident Bank was renewed for a three-year term ending on October 31, 2026. Draws against the credit line can be used for working capital needs and standby letters of credit. Draws against the credit line are secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing shopping center in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and retail space in Glen Rock, New Jersey. The total line of credit is $13 million and the interest rate on the amount outstanding is based on a floating interest rate of prime minus 25 basis points with a floor of 6.75%. As of January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding and $13 million was available under the line of credit.

Dividend: On January 15, 2026, FREIT’s Board of Directors (“Board”) declared a dividend of approximately $747,000 ($0.10 per share on the common stock of FREIT) for the first quarter of Fiscal 2026, which was paid on March 13, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 27, 2026. FREIT’s Board will continue to evaluate the dividend on a quarterly basis and there can be no assurance that dividends will be declared for any future period. In addition, the amount of the dividend declared on January 15, 2026 is not necessarily indicative of the amount of any dividends that may be declared in the future.

As of January 31, 2026, FREIT’s aggregate outstanding mortgage debt was $120.8 million, which bears a weighted average interest rate of 5.34% and an average life of approximately 1.4 years. FREIT’s mortgages are subject to amortization schedules that are longer than the terms of the mortgages. As such, balloon payments (unpaid principal amounts at the mortgage due date) for all mortgage debt will be required as follows:

Fiscal Year	2026	2027	2028	2029
($ in millions)
Mortgage "Balloon" Payments	$59.1 (A)	$8.6	$23.8	$26.0

	(A)	Includes the following:

	(1)	The loan on the Preakness shopping center located in Wayne, New Jersey in the amount of $25 million, which had a maturity date of August 1, 2025. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to work with the current lender, ConnectOne Bank, on a potential modification and extension of the loan. ConnectOne Bank has issued several extensions of the loan’s maturity date, with the most recent extension through May 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Wayne PSC, LLC continues to evaluate all options for refinancing or replacing the loan. Management expects this loan to be further extended, however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for a modification, extension or replacement of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached. (See Note 7 to FREIT's condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.)

	(2)	The loan on the Westwood Plaza shopping center located in Westwood, New Jersey, in the amount of approximately $9.6 million which has a maturity date of May 1, 2026. Management expects this loan to be extended/refinanced, however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for a modification, extension or replacement of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached. (See Note 7 to FREIT's condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.)

	(3)	The loan on the Westwood Hills property located in Westwood, New Jersey, in the amount of approximately $24.5 million which has a maturity date of September 1, 2026. Management expects this loan to be extended/refinanced, however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for a modification, extension or replacement of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance that such an agreement will be reached. (See Note 7 to FREIT's condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details.)

The following table shows the estimated fair value and net carrying value of FREIT’s long-term debt at January 31, 2026 and October 31, 2025:

($ in Millions)	January 31, 2026	October 31, 2025

Fair Value	$117.8	$118.4
Carrying Value, Net	$120.4	$120.8

FREIT expects to refinance the individual mortgages with new mortgages or exercise extension options when their terms expire. To this extent, FREIT has exposure to interest rate risk. 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 refinancing proceeds may be less than the amount of mortgage debt being retired. For example, at January 31, 2026, a 1% interest rate increase would reduce the fair value of FREIT’s debt by $1.6 million, and a 1% decrease would increase the fair value by $1.7 million.

Effective May 1, 2025, FREIT entered into a loan extension and modification agreement with Valley National Bank and paid down this loan by approximately $5.7 million (including deferred interest of approximately $0.2 million) bringing the loan balance to $10 million. Under the terms and conditions of this loan extension and modification, the maturity date of this loan is extended for one year to May 1, 2026, the interest rate on the outstanding debt is based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $107,978 are required. The pay down of this loan has resulted in annual debt service savings of approximately $705,000. Additionally, the Escrow balance was reduced from $2,000,722 to $1,295,739 resulting in a refund to FREIT of $704,983. This Escrow is held at Valley National Bank and in the event of a default on this loan, the bank shall be permitted to use the proceeds from the Escrow to make monthly debt service payments on the loan. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)

Interest rate swap contract: To reduce interest rate volatility, FREIT uses a “pay fixed, receive floating” interest rate swap to convert floating interest rates to fixed interest rates over the term of a certain loan. FREIT enters into an interest rate swap contract with a counterparty that is usually a high-quality commercial bank. In essence, FREIT agrees to pay its counterparty a fixed rate of interest on a dollar amount of notional principal (which generally corresponds to FREIT’s mortgage debt) over a term equal to the term of the mortgage note. FREIT’s counterparty, in return, agrees to pay FREIT a short-term rate of interest - generally SOFR (“Secured Overnight Financing Rate”) - on that same notional amount over the same term as the mortgage note.

FREIT has a variable interest rate loan secured by its Station Place property. To reduce interest rate fluctuations, FREIT entered into an interest rate swap contract for this loan, which effectively converted variable interest rate payments to fixed interest rate payments. The interest rate swap contract was based on a notional amount of approximately $12,350,000 ($10,966,000 at January 31, 2026).

FREIT had a variable interest rate loan secured by its Regency property. On December 15, 2024, the Regency loan and its corresponding interest rate swap contract matured with no settlement due at maturity. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)

In accordance with ASU 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging ("ASC 815")”, FREIT marks-to-market its interest rate swap contract. 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. The interest rate swap contract is accounted for as a cash flow hedge with the corresponding gain or loss on this contract not affecting FREIT’s condensed consolidated statement of income; changes in the fair value of this cash flow hedge will be reported in other comprehensive income and appear in the equity section of the condensed consolidated balance sheet. This gain or loss represents the economic consequence of liquidating a fixed interest rate swap and replacing it with like-duration funding at current market rates, something we would likely never do. Periodic cash settlements of this contract will be accounted for as an adjustment to interest expense.

FREIT has the following derivative-related risks with its interest rate swap contract (“contract”): 1) early termination risk, and 2) counterparty credit risk.

Early Termination Risk: If FREIT wants to terminate its contract before maturity, it would 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 contract’s parties. If current variable interest rates are significantly 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 January 31, 2026, the contract for Station Place was in FREIT’s favor. If FREIT had terminated this contract at that date, it would have realized a gain of approximately $180,000 for the Station Place swap, which amount has been included as an asset in FREIT’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as at January 31, 2026. The change in the fair value for the contract (gain or loss) during such period has been included in comprehensive income and for the three months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025, FREIT recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $30,000 and $42,000, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

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

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FREIT does not include distributions from equity/debt/capital gain sources in its computation of FFO. Although many consider FFO the standard measurement of a REIT’s performance, FREIT supplements the NAREIT computation to include other adjustments to GAAP net income that are not considered by management to be the primary drivers of its decision making process. These adjustments are straight-line rents and recurring capital improvements on FREIT’s residential apartments. The modified FFO computation is referred to as Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”). FREIT believes that AFFO is a superior measure of its operating performance. FREIT computes FFO and AFFO as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended January 31,
	2026			2025
	(In Thousands, Except Per Share)
Funds From Operations ("FFO") (a)
Net income	$	802		$	501
Depreciation of consolidated properties		721			723
Amortization of deferred leasing costs		20			26
Distributions to non-controlling interests		(360	)		(360	)(b)
Adjustment to loss on investment in tenancy-in-common for depreciation		392			365
FFO	$	1,575		$	1,255

Per Share - Basic and Diluted	$	0.21		$	0.17

(a) As prescribed by NAREIT.
(b) FFO excludes the additional distribution of proceeds to non-controlling interests in the amount of approximately $0.1 million related to the sale of the Rotunda property located in Maryland in a prior year.

Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO")
FFO	$	1,575		$	1,255
Deferred rents (Straight lining)		9			28
Capital Improvements - Apartments		(62	)		(77	)
AFFO	$	1,522		$	1,206

Per Share - Basic and Diluted	$	0.20		$	0.16

Weighted Average Shares Outstanding:
Basic and Diluted		7,471			7,463

FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP 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 and AFFO by other REITs may vary materially from that of FREIT, and therefore FREIT’s FFO and AFFO may not be directly comparable to those of other REITs.

INFLATION

Inflation can impact the financial performance of FREIT in various ways. FREIT’s commercial tenant leases generally 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 generally for one to two-years in term, which may allow FREIT to seek increased rents as leases renew or when new tenants are obtained, subject to prevailing market conditions.
