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 1997 increased approximately $134,000 primarily due to the increase
of lease rental income. The purchase of a convenience store building in
December, 1996, accounted for approximately $112,500 of the lease rental
increase. In addition, lease rental increases on existing properties and
contingent rental increases based on sales overages amounted to approximately
$43,000 and $15,000 respectively.
Total expenses increased approximately $20,000 as shown on the Income
Statement. Net income for the first nine months increased approximately 8%
as compared to the same period for the prior year.
As of September 30, 1997, the Company's main sources of liquidity
consisted of: $181,666 in cash, marketable securities having a market value
of approximately $1,922,000 and a $7,025,000 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 10, 1997, the Company sold a convenience store in Lincoln,
Nebraska for $261,000. On October 15, 1997, the sale proceeds were used in a
qualified 1031 exchange to purchase a convenience store in Gainesville,
Georgia, for $1,500,000. The balance of funds to complete the purchase were
drawn on the Company's line of credit. On march 4, 1997, the Company
contracted to purchase and leaseback a convenience store for $1,500,000 in
the Atlanta, Georgia, area. Closing is expected in the first quarter of
1998.
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.
