NATIONAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has adopted effective January 1, 1998 the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The
effect of FAS No. 130 on the Company's interim financial statements is to
present in the statement of income, unrealized gains on marketable securities
net of income taxes, which in periods prior to 1998 had been reported as
annual adjustment directly to stockholders' equity. All prior periods
reported on have been restated to give effect to FAS No. 130.
The statements of income and comprehensive income, statements of cash flow
and balance sheets at June 30, 1998 and 1997 and the periods then ended are
not audited but reflect all adjustments which are of a normal recurring
nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement
of the results of the periods shown.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company, an Iowa corporation, is engaged principally in the development
of commercial real estate for lease to qualified tenants.
In February 1998, the Company completed the purchase of a convenience store
property in Woodstock, Georgia (Atlanta suburb) for $1,480,000. Bank funds
were used for the purchase. Annual rentals from the property will be
$155,400.
On April 1, 1998 Sunbelt Nursery, a major tenant of three company owned
stores located in Arizona and Texas, filed for bankruptcy. Sunbelt
immediately commenced store liquidation sales in all of their Texas and
Arizona stores, including those owned by the Company.
Effective June 1, the Company leased the three Sunbelt Nursery stores that
were in bankruptcy. The stores were leased at an annual rental of $348,000
which is $134,000 less than the previous Sunbelt annual rental.
In May, the Company executed a contract to sell 21.5 acres of land in Ankeny,
Iowa subject to a number of contingencies. The sale price is $2,900,000 and
the buyer has until May 26, 1999 to satisfy the contingencies.
Operating Results
Lease revenues for the first six months were $1,858,000, up $97,000 or 5.5%
over the same period in 1997. The increase was primarily due to the addition
of two convenience stores, one located in Gainsville, Georgia purchased in
October 1997 and the other located in Woodstock, Georgia purchased February
1998, which added $137,000 to rental income in the first six months of 1998.
However, due to the bankruptcy of a major tenant, the Company realized a
decrease in rentals of $39,000 from its three stores leased to Sunbelt
Nursery during the second quarter of 1998.
The Company also realized gains of $79,800 from the sale of marketable
securities during the first six months of 1998, up from $24,000 in the same
period in 1997.
Total expenses for the first six months of 1998 increased $64,000 or 7% over
the same period in 1997. Increases in depreciation and interest cost totaling
approximately $61,000 accounted for most of the increase and was related to
the acquisition of the two new convenience stores referred to above. In
addition, the Company recorded $45,000 in additional real estate taxes during
the period ended June 30, 1998 in connection with the stores leased to
Sunbelt Nursery.
Other expenses led by personnel cost, decreased $42,000 from the same six
month period in 1997.
Net income increased $55,000 over the same six month period in 1997 after
deducting income taxes at the effective rate of 36.6%.
Liquidity
As of June 30, 1998 the Company's main source of liquidity consisted of
$230,000 in cash, marketable securities having a market value of
approximately $2,390,000 and a $3,650,000 remaining loan balance available on
three lines of credit with a local bank. In addition, the Company owns
unencumbered real estate having an aggregate depreciated cost of
approximately $12,000,000.
