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 six and three-month periods ended April 30, 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 April 9, 2026, FREIT’s Board of Directors (“Board”) declared a dividend of approximately $
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 six and three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, only basic earnings per share is presented since there are no outstanding stock options or other dilutive 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.
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 $
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 six and three months ended April 30, 2026, FREIT recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $
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

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 April 30, 2026 and October 31, 2025:
| ($ in Millions) | April 30, 2026 | October 31, 2025 | ||
| Fair Value | $ | $ | ||
| Carrying Value, Net | $ | $ |
Fair values are estimated based on market interest rates at April 30, 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 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 six and three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025.

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.

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 six and three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025 were not material.

The Franklin Crossing Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnity provisions. The parties’ respective obligations under the Franklin Crossing Agreement are subject to certain customary conditions and termination rights, including the right of either the Seller or the Purchaser to terminate the Agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before August 15, 2026. There is no financing contingency under the Franklin Crossing Agreement.
The Board unanimously approved the Franklin Crossing Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.
Note 13 – Subsequent Events:
Approval of Plan of Voluntary Liquidation
On May 12, 2026, FREIT’s Board unanimously determined advisable and approved a Plan of Voluntary Liquidation (the “Plan of Voluntary Liquidation”). The Plan of Voluntary Liquidation provides for the Company’s complete liquidation and dissolution in accordance with Section 331, Section 336 and Section 346(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Maryland General Corporation Law. Effectiveness of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation is subject to approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of Common Stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. FREIT currently anticipates that the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation will be submitted for stockholder approval at a special meeting of the stockholders, expected to occur in the Fall of 2026.
Upon the effectiveness of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation and pursuant thereto, the Company is authorized to sell, convey, transfer and deliver or otherwise dispose of, or cause its subsidiaries to sell, convey, transfer and deliver or otherwise dispose of, all of their remaining assets, without further approval of the stockholders. The Plan of Voluntary Liquidation further provides that upon a determination of the Board, the Company may transfer and assign any remaining assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to a liquidating trust (a “Liquidating Trust”), subject to the terms of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, and the Board may cause the Company to make the final distribution to the Company’s stockholders as a distribution in kind of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust, at such time as the Board deems appropriate or advantageous in its discretion.
Upon the adoption of the Plan of Liquidation, FREIT will cease reporting on the going concern basis of accounting and reporting, and thereafter will report on the liquidation basis of accounting and reporting.

Third Amendment to Management Agreement
On May 13, 2026, FREIT entered into a Third Amendment to the Management Agreement dated November 1, 2001 between the Company and Hekemian & Co. The Third Amendment provides that upon the closing of any sale or other disposition of the Company’s entire direct or indirect interest in each property managed by Hekemian & Co, including sales or dispositions of a managed property in furtherance of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, the Management Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to such property and the Company shall pay to Hekemian & Co. (a) any and all commissions and fees for management services and reimbursement required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement in respect of the applicable property up to the termination date, calculated on a pro rata basis plus (b) a termination fee in respect to such property equal to the product of (x) the Company’s direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in such property times (y) 2.5 times (z) one (1) year’s Base Management Fee in respect of such property. The Base Management Fee is computed by dividing the annual base management fee allocable to the applicable property paid by the Company to Hekemian & Co. over the immediately prior three (3) fiscal years prior to such termination by three (3).
Upon the closing of any sale or other disposition of the Company’s entire direct or indirect interest in a managed property, including sales or dispositions in furtherance of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, the Company is required to pay to Hekemian & Co. a fee equal to

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; and FREIT’s ability to satisfy the conditions to closing the proposed sale transactions involving the Franklin Crossing and Westwood Plaza shopping centers. 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. Other risks to which FREIT is subject are: the possibility that FREIT’s stockholders do not approve the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation; changes in the amount and timing of the total liquidating distributions, including as a result of unexpected levels of transaction costs, delayed or terminated closings, liquidation costs or unpaid or additional liabilities and obligations; the possibility of converting to a liquidating trust; and the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation.
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 rate has remained relatively stable since January 2026 at 4.3%. Consumer price index (CPI) inflation increased from 2.4% in January 2026 to 3.8% in April 2026, representing the highest level in approximately three years. Mortgage rates on 30-year fixed-rate loans remain significantly above pre-2022 levels, with the average rate currently approximately 6.5%. The broader economy has continued to expand at a moderate pace, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth of approximately 2.0% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 0.5% in the fourth quarter of 2025. In light of the current economic environment and elevated inflation, the Federal Reserve maintained the federal funds target range at 3.50% to 3.75% at its April 2026 meeting. Uncertainty regarding the duration of elevated global energy prices, driven in part by geopolitical developments in the Middle East, and the potential broader economic impacts of such conditions remain notable risks.
Residential Properties: Our residential portfolio continues to generate positive cash flow. While average rents on turned units and renewal leases have remained generally stable across much of the portfolio, we are observing a modest but noticeable softening in market conditions compared to prior quarters. This stability should continue to support FREIT’s income over time; however, the potential impact of elevated interest rates, inflation, and global energy prices on portfolio performance over the next year remains uncertain.
Commercial Properties: The vacancy rates at the Westwood Plaza and Preakness shopping centers remain elevated. Additionally, the somewhat elevated interest rates could have an adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of our existing commercial tenants.

Franklin Crossing Purchase and Sale Agreement: On April 8, 2026, FREIT (the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Franklin Crossing Agreement”) with an affiliate of Regency Centers Corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Seller will sell to the Purchaser 100% of Seller’s ownership interests in the Franklin Crossing shopping center located in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey, (“Franklin Crossing”) in exchange for the purchase price of $27,000,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Franklin Crossing Agreement. Upon signing the Franklin Crossing Agreement, the Purchaser delivered into escrow held by the title company a deposit in the amount of $1,000,000 (the “Initial Franklin Crossing Deposit”), which was only refundable during the 30-day due diligence period immediately following the signing. After the expiration of this period on May 8, 2026, the Initial Franklin Crossing Deposit became non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Franklin Crossing Agreement, and the Purchaser deposited into escrow held by the title company an additional amount of $1,000,000, which is non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Franklin Crossing Agreement.
The Franklin Crossing Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnity provisions. The parties’ respective obligations under the Franklin Crossing Agreement are subject to certain customary conditions and termination rights, including the right of either the Seller or the Purchaser to terminate the Franklin Crossing Agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before August 15, 2026. There is no financing contingency under the Franklin Crossing Agreement.
The Board unanimously approved the Franklin Crossing Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026. (See Note 12 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
Westwood Plaza Purchase and Sale Agreement: On May 26, 2026, FREIT (the “Seller”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Westwood Plaza Agreement”) with an affiliate of Regency Centers Corporation (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Seller will sell to the Purchaser 100% of Seller’s ownership interests in the Westwood Plaza shopping center located at 700 Broadway in Westwood, New Jersey (“Westwood Plaza”) in exchange for the purchase price of $28,800,000, subject to the terms and conditions of the Westwood Plaza Agreement.
Upon signing the Westwood Plaza Agreement, the Purchaser delivered into escrow held by the title company a deposit in the amount of $1,200,000 (the “Initial Westwood Plaza Deposit”), which is refundable during a 120-day due diligence period immediately following the signing. After the expiration of this period on September 23, 2026, the Initial Westwood Plaza Deposit becomes non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Westwood Plaza Agreement. If the Purchaser elects to proceed with the transaction after the expiration of the initial 120-day due diligence period, the Purchaser is obligated to deposit into escrow an additional amount of $1,000,000, which is non-refundable except in connection with certain rights to terminate the Westwood Plaza Agreement. Upon expiration of the initial 120-day due diligence period, the Purchaser has the option of entering into a second due diligence period for up to an additional nine months. The Purchaser is obligated to pay to the Seller $50,000 for each month that it elects to engage in due diligence during the second due diligence period. Payments made by the Purchaser to extend the due diligence period are non-refundable except in the event of a breach by Seller and are not applied to the purchase price at closing.
The Westwood Plaza Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and indemnity provisions. The parties’ respective obligations under the Westwood Plaza Agreement are subject to certain customary conditions and termination rights, including the right of either the Seller or the Purchaser to terminate the Westwood Plaza Agreement if the closing has not occurred on or before August 15, 2027. There is no financing contingency under the Westwood Plaza Agreement.
The Board unanimously approved the Westwood Plaza Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby. (See Note 13 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
Approval of Plan of Voluntary Liquidation: On May 12, 2026, FREIT’s Board unanimously determined advisable and approved a Plan of Voluntary Liquidation (the “Plan of Voluntary Liquidation”). The Plan of Voluntary Liquidation provides for the Company’s complete liquidation and dissolution in accordance with Section 331, Section 336 and Section 346(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Maryland General Corporation Law. Effectiveness of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation is subject to approval by the affirmative vote of the holders of Common Stock entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. FREIT currently anticipates that the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation will be submitted for stockholder approval at a special meeting of the stockholders, expected to occur in the Fall of 2026.
Upon the effectiveness of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation and pursuant thereto, the Company is authorized to sell, convey, transfer and deliver or otherwise dispose of, or cause its subsidiaries to sell, convey, transfer and deliver or otherwise dispose of, all of their remaining assets, without further approval of the stockholders. The Plan of Voluntary Liquidation further provides that upon a determination of the Board, the Company may transfer and assign any remaining assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to a liquidating trust (a “Liquidating Trust”), subject to the terms of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, and the Board may cause the Company to make the final distribution to the Company’s stockholders as a distribution in kind of beneficial interests in the Liquidating Trust, at such time as the Board deems appropriate or advantageous in its discretion. (See Note 13 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
Third Amendment to Management Agreement: On May 13, 2026, FREIT entered into a Third Amendment to the Management Agreement dated November 1, 2001 between the Company and Hekemian & Co. The Third Amendment provides that upon the closing of any sale or other disposition of the Company’s entire direct or indirect interest in each property managed by Hekemian & Co., including sales or dispositions of a managed property in furtherance of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, the Management
Page 21
Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to such property and the Company shall pay to Hekemian & Co. (a) any and all commissions and fees for management services and reimbursement required to be paid by the Company pursuant to the Management Agreement in respect of the applicable property up to the termination date, calculated on a pro rata basis plus (b) a termination fee in respect to such property equal to the product of (x) the Company’s direct or indirect percentage ownership interest in such property times (y) 2.5 times (z) one (1) year’s Base Management Fee in respect of such property. The Base Management Fee is computed by dividing the annual base management fee allocable to the applicable property paid by the Company to Hekemian & Co. over the immediately prior three (3) fiscal years prior to such termination by three (3).
Upon the closing of any sale or other disposition of the Company’s entire direct or indirect interest in a managed property, including sales or dispositions in furtherance of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, the Company is required to pay to Hekemian & Co. a fee equal to 1.65% of the sales price for the property. In the event a property is not wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, the sales fee payable to Hekemian & Co. shall only be payable in respect of the Company’s percentage ownership share of the applicable property. (See Note 13 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
Incentive Compensation Arrangement: To provide an incentive to Robert S. Hekemian, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, President and a director of the Trust, to facilitate the timely sale of FREIT’s properties, the Board has approved an incentive compensation arrangement that will entitle Mr. Hekemian to a $1,000,000 cash bonus if the Company sells and/or enters into contracts to sell all of its real properties within 18 months after the approval of the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation by FREIT’s stockholders and receives aggregate gross proceeds from such sales in excess of $319.9 million. To receive the bonus, the sale of all of the Company’s properties must close.
In addition, in recognition of the increased time commitment and effort anticipated to be required of members of the Board to oversee, implement and administer the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, including the sale of properties pursuant to the Plan of Voluntary Liquidation, the Board approved an increase effective May 1, 2026 in the annual cash retainer fee payable to each director from $60,000 to $120,000.
(See Note 13 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
Stockholder Rights Agreement Extension: On May 13, 2026, FREIT’s Board entered into a First Amendment to the Stockholder Rights Agreement dated July 31, 2023, between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as Rights Agent. Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to the Stockholder Rights Agreement, the expiration term of the stockholder rights will be extended from July 31, 2026 to July 31, 2029. (See Note 13 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.)
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.
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 was extended for one year to May 1, 2026, the interest rate on the outstanding debt was based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $107,978 were required. The pay down of this loan 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. This loan has been further extended by Valley National Bank for an additional 90 days with a new maturity date of August 1, 2026 based on the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)
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
Page 22
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. (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 August 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Management expects this loan to be further modified and 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 in the amount of $13 million, provided by Provident Bank, was set to expire on October 31, 2026. Draws against the $13 million credit line were secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing Shopping center in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and retail space in Glen Rock, New Jersey. As of April 30, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding and $13 million was available under this line of credit.
On May 26, 2026, FREIT’s $13 million line of credit has been replaced with a $20 million line of credit provided by Provident Bank secured by a mortgage on FREIT’s Boulders property in Rockaway, New Jersey. Draws against this credit line can be used for working capital needs and standby letters of credit. The line of credit will expire on October 31, 2029 and the interest rate on any amount outstanding will be based on a floating interest rate of prime minus 25 basis points with a floor of 6.75%. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)
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 April 30, 2026, and for the six and three months ended April 30, 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 six months ended April 30, 2026 (“Current Six Months”) increased 4.2% to $15,138,000 compared to $14,527,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2025 (“Prior Year’s Six Months”). Real estate revenue for the three months ended April 30, 2026 (“Current Quarter”) increased 5.2% to $7,634,000 compared to $7,258,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2025 (“Prior Year’s Quarter”).
The increase in revenue of approximately $611,000 for the Current Six Months was primarily driven by a $303,000 increase in residential revenue from higher base rents, despite a modest decline in average occupancy from 96.9% for the Prior Year’s Six Months to 95.6% for the Current Six Months, and a $262,000 increase in commercial revenue. Commercial growth primarily reflects higher reimbursable revenue (up $142,000 due to increased snow removal costs), $88,000 in additional rent from TJ Maxx at Westwood Plaza following the expiration of its co-tenancy clause, and $43,000 increase in revenue recognized from a collectability-constrained tenant at the Preakness shopping center.
The increase in revenue of approximately $376,000 for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by a $111,000 increase in residential revenue from higher base rents, despite a decline in average occupancy from 97.1% for the Prior Year’s Quarter to 95.7% for the Current Quarter, and a $238,000 increase in commercial revenue. Commercial growth primarily reflects higher reimbursable revenue (up $148,000 due to increased snow removal costs), $61,000 in additional rent from TJ Maxx at the Westwood Plaza shopping center following the expiration of its co-tenancy clause, and a $39,000 increase in revenue recognized from a collectability-constrained tenant at the Preakness shopping center.
The schedule below provides a detailed analysis of the major changes that impacted net income-common equity for the six and three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025:

The condensed consolidated results of operations for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter are 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 Six Months was $1,559,000 ($0.21 per share basic and diluted) compared to $1,508,000 ($0.20 per share basic and diluted) for the Prior Year’s Six Months. Net income-common equity for the Current Quarter was $616,000 ($0.08 per share basic and diluted) compared to $894,000 ($0.12 per share basic and diluted) for the Prior Year’s Quarter.
The increase in net income-common equity of approximately $51,000 for the Current Six Months was primarily driven by higher revenue of $611,000 (FREIT’s share $514,000), partially offset by higher operating expenses and lower investment income. Operating expenses increased due to a $306,000 rise in snow removal costs (FREIT’s share $230,000) resulting from a harsher winter and a $157,000 increase in utility costs (FREIT’s share $97,000) due to rising energy prices. Investment income declined by approximately $200,000 (FREIT’s share $186,000), primarily due to lower average cash balances.
The decrease in net income-common equity of approximately $278,000 for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by higher operating and other expenses and lower investment income, partially offset by higher revenue. Expenses increased due to a $261,000 rise in general and administrative expenses related primarily to legal and professional costs associated with potential property sales and the development of a plan of liquidation, a $193,000 increase in snow removal costs (FREIT’s share $118,000) due to a harsher winter, and an $82,000 increase in loss on investment in TIC. Investment income declined by approximately $85,000 (FREIT’s share $78,000), primarily due to lower average cash balances. These factors were partially offset by higher revenue of approximately $376,000 (FREIT’s share $320,000).

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.
Page 26
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 tables above under the caption Segment Information, total revenue from FREIT’s commercial segment for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased by 6.9% and 12.9%, respectively, and NOI increased by 7.4% and 7.5%, respectively, as compared to the Prior Year’s comparable periods. Average occupancy for all commercial properties for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter decreased by 0.7% and 0.6%, respectively, as compared to the Prior Year’s comparable periods.
The increase in revenue for the Current Six Months was primarily driven by the following: (a) an increase in reimbursable revenue of approximately $142,000 mainly attributed to increased snow removal costs; (b) an increase in revenue of approximately $88,000 received from TJ Maxx at the Westwood Plaza shopping center due to the expiration of its one-year co-tenancy clause in March 2025; and (c) an increase in revenue recognized of approximately $43,000 from a tenant deemed collectability constrained at the Preakness shopping center.
The increase in NOI for the Current Six Months was primarily driven by the following: (a) an increase in revenue of approximately $262,000; offset by (b) an increase in total operating expenses of approximately $178,000, primarily related to snow removal costs due to a harsher winter.
The increase in revenue for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by an increase in reimbursable revenue of approximately $148,000 mainly attributed to increased snow removal costs; (b) an increase in revenue of approximately $61,000 received from TJ Maxx at the Westwood Plaza shopping center due to the expiration of its one-year co-tenancy clause in March 2025; and (c) an increase in revenue recognized of approximately $39,000 from a tenant deemed collectability constrained at the Preakness shopping center.
The increase in NOI for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by the following: (a) an increase in revenue of approximately $238,000; offset by (b) an increase in total operating expenses of approximately $196,000 primarily related to snow removal costs due to a harsher winter.
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.
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 Six Months:
| 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) | |||||||||||||||||||||

(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 tables above under the caption Segment Information, total revenue from FREIT’s residential segment for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter increased by 2.8% and 2.0%, respectively, and NOI increased by 2.7% and decreased by 1.5%, respectively, compared to the Prior Year’s comparable periods. Average occupancy for all residential properties for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter decreased by 1.3% and 1.4%, respectively, compared to the Prior Year’s comparable periods.
The increase in revenue for the Current Six Months was primarily attributable to an increase in base rents across all properties while the average occupancy rate declined from 96.9% in the Prior Year’s Six Months to 95.6% in the Current Six Months. The increase in NOI for the Current Six Months was primarily attributable to the following: (a) an increase in revenue of approximately $303,000; offset by (b) an increase in snow removal costs of approximately $111,000 due to a harsher winter; and (c) an increase in utility costs of approximately $94,000 due to rising energy costs.
Page 27
The increase in revenue for the Current Quarter was primarily attributable to an increase in base rents across most properties while the average occupancy declined from 97.1% in the Prior Year’s Quarter to 95.7% in the Current Quarter. The decrease in NOI for the Current Quarter was attributable to the following: (a) an increase in total operating costs of approximately $160,000 primarily due to an increase in snow removal costs, utility costs and repair and maintenance costs; offset by (b) an increase in revenue of approximately $111,000.
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 $2,447 and $2,361, 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 $233,000 and $223,000, 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.

(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 Six Months decreased by approximately $63,000 or 1.7%, as compared to the Prior Year’s Six Months which was primarily attributable to the following: (a) a decrease of approximately $232,000 resulting from the $5.7 million pay down of the loan on the Westwood Plaza shopping center in May 2025; offset by (b) an increase of approximately $157,000 resulting from the extension fee paid to extend the loan on the Preakness shopping center in the Current Six Months.
Total net financing costs for the Current Quarter decreased by approximately $51,000 or 2.8%, compared to the Prior Year’s Quarter which was primarily attributable to the following: (a) a decrease of approximately $109,000 resulting from the $5.7 million pay down of the loan on the Westwood Plaza shopping center in May 2025; offset by (b) an increase of approximately $75,000 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 Six Months and Current Quarter was approximately $549,000 and $265,000, respectively, as compared to $750,000 and $350,000, respectively, for the Prior Year’s comparable periods. 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 of approximately $201,000 and $85,000 for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter, respectively, was primarily due to a decline in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents (including US Treasury securities available for sale) of approximately $4.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as compared to the Prior Year’s comparable periods.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (“G&A”)
G&A for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter was approximately $1,765,000 and $1,052,000, respectively, as compared to $1,636,000 and $791,000, respectively, for the Prior Year’s comparable periods. The primary components of G&A are legal and professional fees, directors’ fees, corporate expenses and accounting/auditing fees. The increase in G&A of approximately $129,000 and $261,000 for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter, respectively, were primarily attributed to legal and professional expenses related to the potential sales of certain properties and the development of a plan of liquidation.
Page 28
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation expense for the Current Six Months and Current Quarter was approximately $1,445,000 and $724,000, respectively, as compared to $1,457,000 and $734,000, respectively, for the Prior Year’s comparable periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $2,618,000 for the Current Six Months compared to approximately $2,262,000 for the Prior Year’s Six Months. 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 April 30, 2026, FREIT had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash totaling approximately $17,738,000, as compared to approximately $21,528,000 at October 31, 2025. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Current Six Months of approximately $3,790,000 was primarily attributable to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $3,210,000 and net cash used in financing activities of approximately $3,198,000 offset by net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $2,618,000. The decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was primarily attributed to the following: (a) the purchase of investments in U.S. Treasury securities of approximately $26,843,000; (b) repayment of mortgages of approximately $958,000; (c) distributions to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries of approximately $555,000; (d) capital improvements of approximately $249,000; (e) deferred financing costs of approximately $191,000 paid in the Current Six Months primarily for the extension of the loan on the Preakness shopping center; offset by (f) proceeds received from maturities of U.S. Treasury securities of approximately $23,958,000; and (g) cash provided by operating activities net of dividends paid of approximately $1,124,000.
Credit Line: FREIT’s revolving line of credit in the amount of $13 million, provided by Provident Bank, was set to expire on October 31, 2026. Draws against the $13 million credit line were secured by mortgages on FREIT’s Franklin Crossing Shopping center in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey and retail space in Glen Rock, New Jersey. As of April 30, 2026 and October 31, 2025, there was no amount outstanding and $13 million was available under this line of credit.
On May 26, 2026, FREIT’s $13 million line of credit has been replaced with a $20 million line of credit provided by Provident Bank secured by a mortgage on FREIT’s Boulders property in Rockaway, New Jersey. Draws against this credit line can be used for working capital needs and standby letters of credit. The line of credit will expire on October 31, 2029 and the interest rate on any amount outstanding will be based on a floating interest rate of prime minus 25 basis points with a floor of 6.75%. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)
Dividend: On April 9, 2026, FREIT’s Board of Directors (“Board”) declared a dividend of approximately $748,000 ($0.10 per share on the common stock of FREIT) for the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, which will be paid on June 12, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on May 29, 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 April 9, 2026 is not necessarily indicative of the amount of any dividends that may be declared in the future.

As of April 30, 2026, FREIT’s aggregate outstanding mortgage debt was $120.3 million, which bears a weighted average interest rate of 5.34% and an average life of approximately 1.2 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:

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 August 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Management expects this loan to be further modified and 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.

Fair values are estimated based on market interest rates at April 30, 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).
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 April 30, 2026, a 1% interest rate increase would reduce the fair value of FREIT’s debt by $1.4 million, and a 1% decrease would increase the fair value by $1.4 million.
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 was extended for one year to May 1, 2026, the interest rate on the outstanding debt was based on a fixed interest rate of 8.5% and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $107,978 were required. The pay down of this loan 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. This loan has been further extended by Valley National Bank for an additional 90 days with a new maturity date of August 1, 2026 based on the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. (See Note 7 to FREIT’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.)
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. (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 August 1, 2026, while discussions are ongoing. Each extension has been made under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. 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.)
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 ($10,900,000 at April 30, 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 April 30, 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 $215,000 for the Station Place swap, which amount has been included as an asset in FREIT’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as at April 30, 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 six and three months ended April 30, 2026, FREIT recorded an unrealized gain of approximately $35,000 and
Page 31
$65,000, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the six and three months ended April 30, 2025, FREIT recorded an unrealized loss of approximately $269,000 and $227,000, 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:

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.
