Item 5. Other Events.
On January 30, 1998, Monmouth Real Estate
Investment Corporation (Registrant) entered into a contract
to purchase an 88,140 square foot warehouse facility to be
built in Omaha Nebraska from Jones Development Company, LLC,
an unrelated entity. This purchase was completed on
December 11, 1998. The warehouse facility is 100% net
leased to Federal Express Corporation. The purchase price
was approximately $5,600,000. Monmouth Real Estate
Investment Corporation paid approximately $600,000 in cash,
used approximately $900,000 of its revolving line of credit
with Summit Bank and obtained a mortgage of approximately
$4,100,000. This mortgage payable is at an interest rate
of 7.15% and is due January 1, 2014. The property acquired
is commercial rental property and will continue to be
used as such.
The following are the material factors to be considered
in assessing the property:
* Description of Property - The property
acquired is an 88,140 square foot warehouse facility
located at 7130 Q Street, Omaha, Nebraska.
* Occupancy Rate and Number of Tenants - The
commercial rental property acquired was
constructed in 1998. Commencing November 1, 1998, the
property was 100% occupied under a 10-year net lease
agreement with Federal Express Corporation. This net lease
agreement provides that operating expenses, including
property taxes, insurance, landscaping, utilities and
repairs in the ordinary course of business, be borne by
the tenant.
* Principal Business of Tenant - Federal Express
Corporation uses this property as a distribution facility.
Registrant believes that Federal Express Corporation will
continue to use this property as such.
* Principal Provisions of Lease - The following
are the principal provisions of the lease:
Term Monthly Rent
11/1/98-10/31/08 $ 43,036
At the end of the lease term, the tenant has two (5)
year options to renew at the prevailing market rent.
The Seller assigned the lease to Registrant.

* Basis of Acquired Property for Depreciation - The
basis for depreciation is the purchase price of
the property. Approximately 79% of the purchase price
is attributable to building and improvements, which will
be depreciated over a 39 year life on a straight-line
basis (Modified Accelerated Recovery System). The residual
is attributable to land.
* Anticipated Capital Improvements - The Registrant
does not anticipate any significant capital improvements
during the term of the lease described above.
* Insurance Coverage - Insurance on the property is
paid for by the tenant. In the opinion of the Registrant,
this coverage is adequate.
Registrant knows of no other material factors relating
to the property acquired other that those discussed in this
Form 8-K.
The following is pro forma financial information.
The impact of the property acquired to the financial
statements of the Registrant is as follows:
ADJUSTMENTS TO STATEMENT OF INCOME
Rental and Occupancy Charges - Increase of $516,000
based upon the lease.
Interest Expense - Increase of $358,000 based upon a
mortgage of $4,100,000 at 7.15% interest and total
monthly principal and interest payments of $37,197,
and a revolving line of credit balance increase of
$900,000 at prime (currently 7.75%).
Depreciation Expense - Increase of $114,000 based upon
79% of the purchase price being attributed to building
and improvements, and straight-line depreciation over
a 39 year life.
Net Income - Increase of $44,000 (rental and occupancy
charges less interest expense and depreciation expense).
