Eugene W. Landy, President, stated, "Management is pleased with the continued progress made by Monmouth Capital Corporation over the last two years.  The Company acquired three new industrial properties during 2005 which increased the Company's real estate investments by 40% over the prior year. Net income decreased due mainly to a decrease in gain on securities transactions, as the Company invested the proceeds from the sale of securities in real estate during the year."
