Eugene W. Landy, President, commented on the results of fiscal year 2011, "We made significant progress in fiscal 2011 which has resulted in an excellent year for the Company. Management is very pleased with our many accomplishments over the year. To highlight a few, the Company:
- Raised a total of approximately $40 million in new equity capital.
- Acquired 561,000 square feet of high quality industrial space, representing an 8% increase in our gross leasable area.
- Renewed 100% of our leases expiring in fiscal 2011.
- Gained inclusion in the MSCI US REIT Index."
Mr. Landy stated, "Our business model of investing in net-leased industrial properties on long-term leases to investment grade tenants continued to deliver solid performance despite weaknesses in the broader economy. Our occupancy increased from 96% to 97% year over year and for the second consecutive year 100% of expiring leases were renewed."
"In addition to the $28.3 million representing 561,000 square feet in acquisitions in fiscal 2011, Monmouth has already added another 490,000 square feet in acquisitions at an aggregate cost of $30.6 million since year end. The Company also recently completed a $16.8 million equity offering in conjunction with its inclusion into the MSCI US REIT Index. Our total market capitalization now stands at approximately $645 million. The Company remains very focused on continuing to deliver positive results and we look forward to building upon the substantial growth that was achieved in fiscal 2011."

Notes:
(1) Non-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. FFO per common share is defined as FFO divided by weighted average common shares outstanding. FFO and FFO per common share should be considered as supplemental measures of operating performance used by real estate investment trusts (REITs). FFO and FFO per 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 FFO per common share are significant components in understanding the Company's financial performance.
FFO and FFO per common share (A) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles; (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 FFO per common share, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other REITs.
The Company's FFO, FFO per common share for the quarter and years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are calculated as follows:
