Landy, President, stated, "Management is pleased with the performance of its properties. Rental and reimbursement income increased 25% year over year. The $808,000 decline in net income was due mainly to decreased gains on securities transactions, decreased interest and dividend income and increased operating and interest expenses. The Company recognized a substantial portion of the unrealized gain in the securities portfolio in 2005 and 2004. Monmouth Capital has significant funds to invest in real property acquisitions and our ability to grow earnings depends on our ability to add to our property portfolio. We are seeking new real property acquisitions in a very competitive market. The cost of running a public company and the inefficiencies of Monmouth Capital's relatively small size remain problems. Management is reassessing its business plan in light of the difficulty of finding new real property investments and the higher percentage of property income that is consumed by corporate overhead." Monmouth Capital Corporation is currently operating as a diversified real estate investment trust (REIT), investing in real estate equities, mortgages, mortgage-backed securities and other REIT securities. The Company's equity portfolio consists of twelve industrial properties in Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. MONM is part of a family of REITs including UMH Properties, Inc. (AMEX:UMH), which invests in manufactured home communities, and Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation (NASDAQ:MNRTA), which invests in net-leased industrial properties on long-term leases to investment-grade tenants. MONM pursues any real estate opportunities other than the specialized areas of UMH Properties, Inc. and Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation.
