Michael P. Landy, President, commented on the results of the second quarter of fiscal year 2013, "The recent quarter represented continued progress across multiple fronts. Our occupancy rate improved by 100 basis points and to 95% compared to occupancy of 94% reported in the December 2012 quarter. Our portfolio wide average lease maturity improved to 6.1 years from 6.0 years in the prior December quarter. We have now secured lease renewals on 93% of the 897,000 square feet in leases set to expire this fiscal year. We have $96 million in new acquisitions under contract representing 1.4 million square feet in new industrial build-to-suit properties secured by investment grade tenants on leases of 10 years or greater. These acquisitions are expected to close in the second half of fiscal 2013 and during fiscal 2014. Our REIT securities portfolio continued to perform well generating $3.8 million in realized gains during the second quarter and $5.9 million in gains realized thus far in fiscal 2013. At quarter end we had an additional $5.9 million in unrealized gains on our REIT securities investments. We are very pleased with our latest results and look forward to continuing to execute our growth strategy of investing in net-leased industrial properties on long-term leases to investment grade tenants."

Notes:
(1) Non-US GAAP Information: FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") as net income applicable to common shareholders, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciable assets, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. Core FFO is defined as FFO plus acquisition costs. FFO per diluted common share is defined as FFO divided by weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. FFO and Core FFO per diluted common share should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by real estate investment trusts (REITs). FFO and Core FFO per diluted common share exclude historical cost depreciation as an expense and may facilitate the comparison of REITs which have different cost basis. The items excluded from FFO and Core FFO per diluted common share are significant components in understanding the Company's financial performance.
FFO and Core FFO per diluted common share (A) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; (B) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (C) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Core FFO per diluted common share, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.
The Company's FFO and Core FFO for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are calculated as follows:
