To the Board of Trustees of Investors Real Estate Trust

      We have audited the accompanying Historical Summary of Gross Income and Direct Operating Expenses of Mendota Heights Office Complex ("Historical Summary") for the year ended December 31, 2001.  This Historical Summary is the responsibility of the management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Historical Summary based on our audit.

       We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Historical Summary is free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the Historical Summary.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the Historical Summary.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

       The accompanying Historical Summary was prepared for the purpose of complying with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission as described in Note 2, and is not intended to be a complete presentation of Mendota Heights Office Complex revenue and expenses.

       In our opinion, the Historical Summary referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the gross income and direct operating expenses described in Note 2 of Mendota Heights Office Complex for the year ended December 31, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Capitalization Policy - Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not add to the value or extend useful lives are charged to expense as incurred.

Revenue Recognition - Rental revenue is recognized on the straight-line basis, which averages minimum rents over the terms of the leases.  All leases are classified as operating leases and expire at various dates prior to April 30, 2008.  The following is a schedule by years of future minimum rents receivable on non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of December 31, 2001.

Year                         Amount

2002                       5,067,399
 2003                      4,983,661
2004                      4,706,644
2005                      4,193,528
2006                      3,388,273
Thereafter             1,843,708
Total                $ 24,183,213

 


Expense Reimbursement
– Reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.  Mendota Heights Office Complex receives payments for these reimbursements from substantially all its multi-tenant commercial tenants throughout the year based on estimates.  Differences between estimated recoveries and the final billed amounts, which are immaterial, are recognized in the subsequent year.
