Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company, an Iowa corporation, is engaged principally in the development of
commercial real estate for lease to qualified tenants under net lease
arrangements.
As detailed on the Income Statement total income for the first nine
months of 1996 increased approximately $22,000. The increase in rental income
of approximately $84,000 was primarily due to a convenience store building
acquired in June, 1995, and a restaurant building and land acquired in
December, 1995, which generated additional rental income in 1996 of
approximately $72,000.
Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, decreased
approximately $121,000, as compared to the same period for 1995, primarily due
to a decrease in interest costs of approximately $114,000. The decrease
resulted from a decrease in the prime rate coupled with a decrease in average
debt outstanding, between the two periods, of approximately $1,300,000.
As of September 30, 1996, the Company's main sources of liquidity consisted
of: $220,000 in cash, marketable securities having a market value of
approximately $1,500,000 and a $4,900,000 remaining loan balance available on
three lines of credit with two local banks. In addition, the Company owns
unencumbered real estate having an aggregate cost of approximately
$11,000.000. On October 29, 1996, the Company executed new loan agreements
with Norwest Bank increasing the unsecured short-term line of credit from
$3,000,000 to $4,000,000 and secured long-term line of credit from the current
balance of $2,900,000 to $6,000,000.
On March 30, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire a
convenience store, now under construction in Atlanta, Georgia, on a purchase
and leaseback arrangement, at a cost of $1,445,000. Closing is scheduled to
take place in November, 1996. The purchase will be financed with funds drawn
on the Company's long term line of credit.
Management believes that its cash flow from operations and other potential
sources of cash will be sufficient to finance current and projected
operations. However, future cash flow may be impaired because of financial
difficulties being experienced by the tenant of three garden center
properties, which currently generate a monthly rental income of approximately
$38,000.
