Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

IRET’s 1st Quarter which ended July 31, 2000, produced excellent results. The new investments acquired during the past year performed very well and the existing portfolio also continued to do well resulting in new highs for revenues, net operating income and Funds From Operations. We expect the rest of Fiscal 2001 will produce continued good results. We are optimistic about the new apartment community we are building in Rochester, MN which has had a good lease-up prior to completion as well as the rest of our portfolio.

Results of Operations. IRET's 1st Quarter saw above average operating results which are summarized below.
 

*
Revenues. Revenues for the quarter increased 56% from the prior year - $17,431,644 compared to $11,201,913 – primarily as a result of the acquisition of new investments.

*
Operating Income. Operating income before depreciation increased to $5,221,340 from $3,542,340, an increase of 47%.

*
Net Income. Net income increased to $2,132,464 from $1,828,282. No capital gain income was recorded in the first quarter, compared to $257,895 realized in the prior year.

*
Funds From Operations. Funds From Operations (net income computed for Generally Accepted Accounting Practices, less capital gain and extraordinary items, plus depreciation) increased to $4,795,673 from $3,306,405, a gain of 45%. On a per share basis, FFO was $.21 per share, compared to $.17 per share for the 1st Quarter of Fiscal 2000, a gain of 23.5%. Of this increase, $354,194 or $.015 per share was due to an accounting rule change which requires us to record as income future revenues (“straight-line rent”) from long-term commercial property leases with periodic rent increases. No straight-line rent was included in prior year FFO. Funds From Operations is the generally accepted measure of performance for Real Estate Investment Trusts.

Property Acquisitions. The following properties were acquired by IRET during the 1 st Quarter and are producing income:  

COST
75,815 sq. ft. office building – Rapid City, SD – leased to Conseco Financial

$ 6,850,000

11,300 sq. ft. office building – 12 South Main, Minot, ND

385,000

6,500 sq. ft. office/apartment building – 17 South Main, Minot, ND

      90,000

TOTAL ACQUISITIONS

$ 7,325,000

(The remainder of this page has been left blank intentionally.)

30,000 sq. ft. Stone Container distribution warehouse – Waconea, MN

1,650,000

TOTAL PENDING ACQUISITIONS

$29,600,000

Financial Condition. During the first quarter of its Fiscal 2001 year, IRET paid off $6,452,420 of short-term borrowings and increased cash on hand by nearly $5,500,000. This improvement in liquidity resulted primarily from continued sales of shares of beneficial interest ($2,715,712) and the placement of long-term mortgage debt on properties constructed or purchased in the prior year. Thus, IRET continues to maintain a strong balance sheet which will allow the acquisition of additional real estate properties. The relevant balance sheet figures are:

Dividends. IRET paid a regular dividend of 13.25 cents per share on July 1, 2000, to shareholders of record at the close of business on June 15, 2000. This was an increase from 13 cents per share dividend paid on April 1, 2000, and was the 117 th consecutive quarterly dividend paid by IRET.
