AMENDMENT NO. 8 TO
STATEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13d-1
OF THE GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
     This Amendment No. 8 amends Amendment No. 7 (as filed on July 7, 2008, “Amendment No. 7”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D (as filed on March 22, 2002, the “Schedule 13D”) in relation to shares of Class A common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Monmouth Real Estate Investment Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in Amendments Nos. 1 through 7, or the original Schedule 13D.
     Items 3, 4, and 5 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 7, and the original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     The first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 3 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 7, and the original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     The aggregate amount of funds used in purchasing the shares of Common Stock reported as being beneficially owned in Item 5 hereof was approximately $23.6 million.
     The fifth paragraph of Item 3 of Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, and Amendment No. 6, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Upon filing the July 7, 2008 Amendment No. 7 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively owned 2,402,845 shares of Common Stock, or 9.45% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. At April 30, 2011, Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively owned 3,282,347 shares of Common Stock, or 9.56% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
     The increase from 9.45% ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the July 7, 2008 filing to 9.56% at April 30, 2011 is attributable to the net effect of:
  1)   Issuer issued 8,908,181 (35%) new shares of Common Stock between July 8, 2008 and April 30, 2011, and therefore, shares outstanding increased from 25,432,642 to 34,340,823 during such period.
 
  2)   Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun collectively increased their owned shares of Common Stock by 879,502 shares, increasing their collective owned shares by 37% from 2,402,845 shares at July 7, 2008 to 3,282,347 shares at April 30, 2011.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
     The first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 4 of Amendments Nos. 1 through 7, and the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     Oakland, Liberty Bell, Cherokee, Erie, Apache, and Matthew Moroun had net acquisitions of 879,502 shares of Common Stock between June 30, 2008 and April 30, 2011. Their total ownership of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was 9.56% at April 30, 2011, up from 9.45% at June 30, 2006.
