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 six
months of 1997 increased approximately $119,000 primarily due to the increase
of lease rental income. The purchase of a convenience store building in
December, 1996, accounted for approximately $75,000 of the lease rental
increase. In addition, lease rental increases on existing properties and
contingent rental increases based on sales overages amounted to approximately
$29,000 and $15,000 respectively.
Total expenses increased approximately $16,000 as shown on the Income
Statement. Net income for the first six months increased approximately 12%
as compared to the same period for the prior year.
As of June 30, 1997, the Company's main sources of liquidity consisted
of: $202,897 in cash, marketable securities having a market value of
approximately $1,817,000 and a $7,375,000 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 March 4, 1997, the Company executed contracts to purchase and
leaseback for 15 years two convenience stores located in the Atlanta,
Georgia, area. One store is under construction and is scheduled for closing
by October 1, 1997. The second store is also under construction and closing
is expected in the first quarter of 1998. The purchase price of each store
is approximately $1,500,000.
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 flows 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.
