Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.</B></P> <P><B><U>Results of Operation</U></B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica">. </FONT>IRET's operating results through the third quarter of Fiscal 2000 continued to exceed the level expected at the beginning of the year. The addition of new properties to our real estate portfolio was responsible for most of the improvement aided by stable occupancy rates, rent increases and capital gains from real estate sales which, together, resulted in record levels of Funds from Operations and Net Income.</P> <P><B><U>Funds from Operations</U></B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica">. </FONT>Funds from Operations for the third quarter of Fiscal 2000 increased to $4,241,431 from the year earlier figure of $3,132,268, an increase of $1,109,163 or 35%. On a per share basis, Funds from Operations for the third quarter were $.20 compared to the $.18 per share earned in the same period of Fiscal 1999, an increase of 11%. For the first nine months of Fiscal 2000, Funds from Operations increased to $11,448,296 from the year earlier figure of $8,689,640, an increase of $2,758,656 (32%). Per share results were $.56 per share, versus the year earlier amount of $.50 per share, an increase of 12%. This increase in Funds from Operations resulted primarily from increased rental income ($37,216,450 versus $28,359,059) caused by the addition of new rental properties to our portfolio, lower utility costs due to the mild winter, acceptable occupancy rates and modest increase in rents.</P> <P><B><U>Net Income</U></B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica">. </FONT>For the third quarter, net income was $2,021,840 compared to $1,654,228 in the prior year, an improvement of $367,612. For the nine month period, net income was $7,264,301, compared to $6,028,621 in the prior year.</P> <P><B><U>Operations</U></B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica">. </FONT>Our investment portfolio is performing very well. We anticipate a continued strong performance from our investment portfolio during the remainder of the current fiscal year. Overall, occupancy rates continue at a satisfactory level with above-normal occupancy rates in our Minnesota apartment properties and below normal rates in Montana and Kansas. The recent increase in interest rates will not have a material impact because nearly all of our loans have 10-year fixed interest rates. The mild winter has reduced utility expenses. The new properties that we are acquiring will, in our judgment, enhance the future financial results of IRET.</P> <P><B><U>Acquisitions</U></B><FONT SIZE="-1" FACE="Arial,Helvetica">. </FONT>The following properties were purchased or completed and added to our portfolio during the third quarter and are producing income:</P> <P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="2" CELLPADDING="0" WIDTH="600"> <TR> <TD WIDTH="83%"> </TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" BGCOLOR="#ffffcc"> <P ALIGN=RIGHT><B>COST </B></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="83%"> 67-unit Apartment Complex with underground parking - Grand Forks, ND</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" BGCOLOR="#ffffcc"> <P ALIGN=RIGHT>$ 6,716,963 </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="83%"> East Grand Forks Convenience Store/Retail Rental - East Grand Forks, MN</TD> <TD WIDTH="17%" BGCOLOR="#ffffcc"> <P ALIGN=RIGHT>1,385,315 </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH="83%"> 74,500 sq. ft.
