Forward-Looking and Cautionary Statements
This current report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of words such as “expect,” “plan,” “will,” “estimate,”
“project,” “intend,” “believe,” “guidance,” “approximately,” “anticipate,”
“may,” “should,” “seek” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that
are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking
statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions of management. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown
risks and uncertainties that you should not rely on as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions,
data and/or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. The following risks and uncertainties,
among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors, which include,
but are not limited to: industry and economic conditions; FREIT’s ability to satisfy the conditions to closing and complete a proposed
transaction; FREIT’s dependence upon its external manager to conduct its business and achieve its investment objectives; unknown
liabilities acquired in connection with acquired properties or interests in real estate-related entities; general risks affecting the
real estate industry and local real estate markets (including, without limitation, the market value of FREIT’s properties, potential
illiquidity of FREIT’s remaining real estate investments, condemnations, and potential damage from natural disasters); the financial
performance of FREIT’s tenants; the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or litigation that may affect
the Trust and its major tenants; volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets, including potential fluctuations in the consumer
price index; risks associated with FREIT’s failure to maintain status as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended;
and other additional risks discussed in FREIT’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2025. FREIT expressly
disclaims any responsibility to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or
otherwise, except as required by law.
