HACKENSACK, NJ, March 14, 2025 – First
Real Estate Investment Trust of New Jersey, Inc. (“FREIT” or the “Company”) reported its operating results for

Results for the Quarter
Total
real estate revenue increased 3.9% to approximately $7,269,000 for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025 as compared to approximately
$6,999,000 for the prior year’s comparable period. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase from the residential
segment driven by an increase in base rents across most properties and an increase in the average occupancy
rate from 95.3% in the prior year’s comparable period to 96.8% in the current year’s period.
Net
income (loss) attributable to common equity (“Net Income (Loss)”) was Net Income of approximately $614,000 or $0.08 per share
basic and diluted for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025 as compared to Net Loss of approximately ($512,000) or ($0.07) per share
basic and diluted for the prior year’s comparable period. The change in Net Income (Loss) was primarily driven by a decline in general
and administrative expenses of approximately $963,000 attributed to costs incurred in the prior year’s comparable period for work
performed for the Company by a financial advisory firm and a decline in legal and professional expenses in the current year’s period.

Segment Property Net Operating Income
(“NOI”)
NOI for the residential properties increased
modestly to approximately $2,994,000 for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025 from approximately $2,865,000 for the prior year’s
comparable period. NOI for the commercial properties decreased to approximately $567,000 for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2025
from approximately $654,000 for the prior year’s comparable period.
Financing Update
On December
15, 2024, the mortgage secured by an apartment building located in Middletown, New York and the corresponding interest rate swap contract
on its underlying loan came due with no settlement of the swap contract due at maturity. Effective December 15, 2024, FREIT Regency, LLC
entered into a loan extension and modification agreement with the lender of this loan, Provident Bank, with a then outstanding loan balance
of approximately $13.9 million. Under the terms and conditions of this loan extension and modification, the maturity date of this loan
is extended for three years to December 15, 2027, the interest rate on the outstanding debt is based on a fixed interest rate of 6.05%
and monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $84,521 are required.
Effective
February 1, 2025, Valley National Bank extended the loan secured by FREIT’s Westwood Plaza shopping center located in Westwood,
New Jersey with a then outstanding balance of approximately $15.7 million for 90 days from a maturity date of February 1, 2025 to a maturity
date of May 1, 2025 under the same terms and conditions of the existing loan agreement. Management expects this loan to be further extended,
however, until such time as a definitive agreement providing for an extension of this loan is entered into, there can be no assurance
this loan will be extended.
Dividend
The Board
of Directors of FREIT declared a first quarter dividend of $0.08 per share on the common stock to holders of record of the shares at the
close of business on February 28, 2025. The payment date for the dividend is March 14, 2025. The Board of Directors will continue to evaluate
the dividend on a quarterly basis.
Adjusted Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is
a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FREIT does not include
distributions from equity/debt/capital gain sources in its computation of FFO. Although many consider FFO as the standard measurement
of a REIT’s performance, FREIT modified the NAREIT computation of FFO to include other adjustments to GAAP net income, which are
not considered by management to be the primary drivers of its decision making process. These adjustments to GAAP net income are straight-line
rents and recurring capital improvements on FREIT’s residential apartments.
The modified FFO computation is referred to
as Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”). FREIT believes that AFFO is a superior measure of its operating performance. FREIT
computes FFO and AFFO as follows:

FFO and AFFO do not represent cash generated
from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and therefore should
not be considered a substitute for net income as a measure of results of operations or for cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity.
Additionally, the application and calculation of FFO and AFFO by certain other REITs may vary materially from that of FREIT, and therefore
FREIT’s FFO and AFFO may not be directly comparable to those of other REITs.
The statements in this report, which relate
to future earnings or performance, are forward-looking. Actual results may differ materially and be adversely affected by such factors
as market and economic conditions, longer than anticipated lease-up periods or the inability of certain tenants to pay rents. Additional
information about these factors is contained in the Company’s filings with the SEC including the Company’s most recent filed
reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.
