                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - ACCOUNTING POLICY

     The  interim  financial statements furnished herein  reflect
all  adjustments  which  were,  in  the  opinion  of  management,
necessary  to present fairly the financial position,  results  of
operations and cash flows at  March 31, 2000 and for all  periods
presented.  All adjustments made in the interim period were of  a
normal  recurring  nature.   Certain footnote  disclosures  which
would  substantially duplicate the disclosures contained  in  the
audited  financial statements and notes thereto included  in  the
Annual  Report  of  Monmouth Real Estate  Investment  Corporation
(the  Company)  for the year ended September 30, 1999  have  been
omitted.

NOTE 2 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Basic  net  income per share is calculated by  dividing  net
income   by   the   weighted-average  number  of  common   shares
outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income per  share  is
calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average  number
of  common shares outstanding plus the weighted-average number of

           MONMOUTH REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CORPORATION
 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The   Company   generated  net cash  provided  by  operating
activities of $2,424,492  for  the current six months as compared
to  $1,711,780   for  the   prior  period.   The  Company  raised
$3,125,769  from the issuance  of shares of common stock  through
its  Dividend  Reinvestment  and  Stock  Purchase   Plan  (DRIP).
Dividends  paid for the six months ended March 31, 2000  amounted
to $2,273,932.

      Securities  available  for  sale  increased  by  $1,712,177
primarily  as  a  result  of additional purchases  of  $3,528,916
offset  by  sales of $215,542 and an increase in  the  unrealized
losses  of $1,601,197.  Management believes that this decline  in
value is temporary in nature.

           Mortgage notes payable increased by $1,988,700  during
the six months ended March 31, 2000.  This increase was primarily
due   to  the  additional  mortgage  of  $3,000,000  on  the  new
acquisition offset by principal repayments of $1,011,300.

      Loans  payable increased by $905,373 during the six  months
ended March 31, 2000.  This increase was the result of additional
take-downs in the amount of $4,118,288 of the Company's revolving
credit line offset by repayments of $3,212,915.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

           Rental  and occupancy charges decreased for the  three
months  ended  March  31,  2000  to  $2,072,216  as  compared  to
$2,099,402  for  the  three months ended March  31,  1999.   This
decrease was due primarily to the sale of the Monsey property and
additional occupancy charges associated with the reassessment  of
a  warehouse facility in Illinois in the second quarter of fiscal
1999.   Rental and Occupancy charges increased for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 to $4,367,504 as compared to $3,937,300  for
the  six months ended March 31, 1999.  This increase was a result
of the new acquisitions made in 1999.

     Interest  and  other income increased by  $324,116  for  the
three months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the three months
ended  March  31,  1999. Interest and Other Income  increased  by
$636,858  for the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared  to
the  six months ended March 31, 1999.  This was due primarily  to
an increase in investment income as the result of the increase in
securities available for sale.

      Interest expense increased by $197,649 for the three months
ended  March 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended March
31,  1999.   Interest expense increased by $434,823 for  the  six
months  ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the six months  ended
March  31,  1999.  This  was primarily the result  of  additional
borrowings for the new acquisitions made during fiscal  2000  and
1999.

     Real estate taxes decreased by $261,660 for the three months
ended  March 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended March
31,  1999.  Real estate taxes decreased by $63,971  for  the  six
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to March 31, 1999.   This
was  due primarily to the sale of the Monsey property as well  as
the  reassessment of a warehouse facility in Illinois during  the
second quarter of fiscal 1999.  Since the tenant's lease provides
for  the payment of real estate taxes by the tenant, there was  a
corresponding change in occupancy charges.

      Depreciation  expense increased by $14,372  for  the  three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the three months ended
March  31,  1999.  Depreciation expense increased by $41,544  for
the six months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to the six months
ended   March  31,  1999.   This  was  due  to  the  real  estate
acquisitions in the second half of fiscal 1999.

      Gain on Sales of Assets - Investment Property decreased  by
$1,246,325 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 as  compared
to the three months ended March 31, 1999. Gain on Sales of Assets
- -  Investment Property decreased by $1,163,694 for the six months
ended  March  31, 2000 as compared to the six months ended  March
31,  1999.   This was due to the sale of the Monsey  property  in
fiscal  1999  partially offset by the payoff of  the  installment
sale  mortgage  loan on the Bonim Associates property  in  fiscal
2000.

      Funds  from  operations (FFO), is defined  as  net  income,
excluding  gains  (or  losses) from sales of depreciable  assets,
plus  depreciation.  FFO which includes gains on the  installment
sale  of  land in the amount of $88,631 and $12,000 for  the  six
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, increased  to
$2,692,340  for  the  six  months  ended  March  31,  2000   from
$1,909,552 for the six months ended March 31, 1999.  FFO does not
replace  net  income  (determined in  accordance  with  generally
accepted  accounting principles) as a measure of  performance  or
net  cash  flows  as  a  measure of  liquidity.   FFO  should  be
considered  as  a  supplemental measure of operating  performance
used by real estate investment trusts.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

           Net cash provided by operating activities amounted  to
$2,424,492 and $1,711,780 for the six months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively.

      The  Company owns twenty-two properties of which  seventeen
carried  mortgage loans totaling  $37,226,459 at March 31,  2000.
The  Company  has  been  raising capital  through  its  DRIP  and
investing  in net leased industrial properties and securities  of
other  real estate investment trusts.  The Company believes  that
funds  generated  from operations, the DRIP,  together  with  the
ability  to  finance  and refinance its properties  will  provide
sufficient funds to adequately meet its obligations over the next
several years.

YEAR 2000

      The  Company has experienced no significant impact  of  its
operations  or  its  ability  to  accurately  process   financial
information  due to a Year 2000 related issue.  In addition,  the
Company  has no information that indicates a significant  tenant,
vendor  or  service provider may be unable to meet  their  rental
obligations,  sell  goods  or provide  services  to  the  Company
because  of  Year  2000  issues.  The Company  will  continue  to
monitor its operations for Year 2000 related issues.
