NOTE C: The Registrant has employed Nooney Advisors, Ltd., a Missouri limited partnership, to serve as the Registrant's investment and financial counselor and to supervise the day-to-day operations of the Registrant. The agreement between the Registrant and Nooney Advisors, Ltd. has been renewed for a period of one year effective April 1, 1997. Certain General Partners of Nooney Advisors, Ltd. are also officers and directors of the Registrant. Advisory fees of $29,452 and $88,830 were paid to Nooney Advisors, Ltd. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997. Advisory fees of $29,667 and $88,317 were paid to Nooney Advisors, Ltd. for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. The Registrant's properties are managed by Nooney Krombach Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nooney Company.

Property management fees of $29,672 and $86,957 were paid to Nooney Krombach Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, and $28,119 and $81,695 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively. NOTE D: The earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 has been computed based on 866,624 shares, the number outstanding during the periods.

Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by such statements. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- Cash on hand as of September 30, 1997 is $455,209, a decrease of $185,918 from year end December 31, 1996. During the first nine months of 1997, the operations of the property provided cash flow of $427,158. The Trust paid a dividend of $0.22 per share in each of the first two quarters, no dividend was paid in the third quarter, and the Trust reduced the mortgage debt by $66,315. The Trust paid capital expenditures at the properties of $165,446 during the first nine months of 1997. The Trust paid approximately $116,000 in legal fees during the third quarter and $61,000 in additional professional fees in connection with the lawsuit filed by a shareholder and on proxy solicitation and materials for a special meeting held in August. Based on the current cash position and the properties' ability to provide operating cash flow, the Trust expects the properties to fund capital expenditures for the remainder of 1997. The anticipated capital expenditures by property are as follows: Other Leasing Capital Capital Total ------- ------- ----- Atrium at Alpha $ 0 $23,000 $23,000 Applied Communications Building 0 0 0 Franklin Park Distribution Center 0 0 0 ------- ------- ------- $ 0 $23,000 $23,000 ======= ======= ======= The leasing capital at Atrium at Alpha includes capital for tenant alterations and lease commissions. Results of Property Operations - ------------------------------ The results of operations for the Trust's properties for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are detailed in the schedule below. Revenues and expenses of the Trust are excluded. Funds from Operations - --------------------- The white paper on Funds from Operations approved by the board of governors of NAREIT in March 1995 defines funds from operations as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnership and joint ventures. The Trust computes Funds from Operations in accordance with the standards established by the white paper which may differ from the methodology for calculating Funds from Operations utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Funds from Operations do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, distributions, or other commitments and uncertainties. Funds from Operations should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Trust financial performance or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Trust liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Trust cash needs including its ability -7- 8 to make distributions. The Trust believes Funds from Operations are helpful to investors as measures of the performance of the Trust because along with cash flows from operating activities, financing activities and investing activities, they provide investors with an understanding of the ability of the Trust to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. Franklin Park Applied Atrium at Distribution Communications Alpha Center Building ----- ------ -------- 1997 ---- Revenues $320,664 $190,952 $277,909 Expenses 274,815 145,179 233,574 -------- -------- -------- Net Income 45,849 45,773 44,335 Depreciation and Amortization 91,414 44,546 47,601 -------- -------- -------- Funds from Operations $137,263 $ 90,319 $ 91,936 ======== ======== ======== 1996 ---- Revenues $286,348 $204,299 $263,414 Expenses 238,933 162,106 230,811 -------- -------- -------- Net Income 47,415 42,193 32,603 Depreciation and Amortization 80,236 44,546 47,601 -------- -------- -------- Funds from Operations $127,651 $ 86,739 $ 80,204 ======== ======== ======== Net income at Atrium at Alpha for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is $45,849 and $47,415, respectively. The decrease in net income is attributable to an increase in expenses of $35,882, partially offset by an increase in revenues of $34,316 due mainly to increases in rental income. The expenses that increased were in the categories of parking lot expense, real estate taxes and amortization. At Franklin Park Distribution Center the net income increased $3,580 when comparing the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Revenues at the property decreased $13,000 due mainly to a decrease in real estate tax reimbursement income. The real estate tax reimbursement income decrease corresponds to a decrease in the real estate tax expense. In addition to real estate taxes decreasing, repairs and maintenance-building and administrative costs also decreased. At the Applied Communications Building net income for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 is $44,335 and $32,603 respectively. This increase in net income can be attributable to an increase in revenues which resulted from increases in base rental rate as well as escalation income and decreases in expenses in the categories of repairs and maintenance, parking lot and administrative expenses.Occupancy levels at the Trust's properties during the third quarter remain at a high level. These levels can be attributable to the Trust's ability to renew the properties major tenants as their leases mature. The occupancy levels at September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 are as follows: Property 1997 1996 1995 - -------- ---- ---- ---- Atrium at Alpha 96% 95% 99% Franklin Park Distribution Center 100% 100% 100% Applied Communications Building 100% 100% 100% -8- 9 The leasing activity at Atrium at Alpha during the third quarter of 1997 consisted of the Trust signing one new lease for 3,200 square feet. Occupancy increased during the quarter by 3%, ending at 96%. The building has two major tenants who occupy 17% and 11% of the available space under leases which expire in July 2001 and May 1999, respectively. Franklin Park Distribution Center currently is fully leased by two tenants. The larger of the two tenants occupies approximately 57% of the building while the other tenant occupies approximately 43% of the building. The leases expire in December 1999 and June 1998, respectively. The Applied Communications Building has a single tenant who occupies the entire building. The tenant's lease expires August 1999. 1997 Comparisons - ---------------- The Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter ended and nine month period ended September 30, 1997 are $785,095 and $2,278,877, respectively, which represents an increase of $27,295 and $77,365 when compared to the results of the same periods ended September 30, 1996. The increase in revenues for the quarter ended and nine month period ended can be attributable to increases in base rental income at both The Atrium At Alpha Business Center and Applied Communications Building as well as increases in escalation income at both of these properties, offset by decreases in real estate tax reimbursement income at Franklin Park Distribution Center. Consolidated expenses were $913,773 and $2,468,520 for the quarter ended and nine month period ended September 30, 1997, respectively. For the same periods ended September 30, 1996, consolidated expenses were $694,394 and $2,084,326, respectively. Consolidated expenses increased $219,379 and $384,194 when comparing the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 to the prior same periods. The increase in consolidated expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 can be attributable to an increase in professional services ($175,814), office expense ($22,068), and other operating expenses ($15,836), partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes ($9,421). The increase in expenses relates to professional service fees incurred in connection with the lawsuit filed against the Trust by one of its shareholders. Legal fees during the quarter amounted to approximately $116,000. In addition, a proxy solicitation firm was hired in connection with the proxy fight for the special meeting held August 8, 1997. The proxy solicitor fees and costs for the special inspector for the meeting were approximately $61,000. Office expense increased due to higher printing and mailing costs for the numerous items sent to shareholders during the proxy solicitation period. Real estate taxes decreased at the Franklin Park Distribution Center. Consolidated expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 can be attributable to an increase in professional services ($309,544), office expense ($18,214), and other operating expenses ($40,478), offset by a decrease in real estate taxes ($20,074). The reasons for the increase for the changes in expense levels for the nine month period ended are the same as those stated above for the three month period ended September 30, 1997. 1996 Comparisons - ---------------- As of September 30, 1996, the Trust's consolidated revenues for the quarter ended and nine month period ended were $757,800 and $2,201,512, respectively, which represents increases of $24,722 and $57,687 when compared to the results of the same periods ended September 30, 1995. -9- 10 The increase in revenues for the quarter ended can be attributed to increases in rental income and real estate tax recovery income. Rental income increased $14,486 due to the Trust's ability to increase rental rates on lease renewals and new leases at Atrium at Alpha and the rent step-ups for the single tenant user at Applied Communications Building. Tax recovery income increased $14,417 due to an increase in real estate taxes at Franklin Park Distribution Center. As the property's real estate taxes increase any increase in the expense is directly passed through to the two tenants resulting in a corresponding increase in the real estate tax recovery income. The increase in revenues for the nine month periods ended can be attributed to increases in rental income, tax recovery income and interest income offset by decreases in expense recovery income and rent concessions. The increases in rental income and tax recovery income can be attributed to the same factors discussed when analyzing the quarterly results in the previous paragraph. The increase in interest income relates to the Trust's ability to better manage and obtain higher yields on the existing cash reserves. The decrease in expense recovery income can be attributed to a decrease in recoverable expenses from 1994 to 1995. As recoverable expenses decrease from year to year, the Trust's ability to pass through expenses becomes limited to the respective tenants' expense base year. Consolidated expenses are $694,394 and $2,084,326 for the quarter ended and nine month period ended September 30, 1996, respectively. For the same periods ended September 30, 1995 consolidated expenses were $685,070 and $2,024,194, respectively. Consolidated expenses increased $9,324 and $60,132 when comparing the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 to 1995. The increase in consolidated expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 relate to increases in real estate taxes ($53,438) and other operating expenses ($12,325). The increase in real estate taxes can be attributed to an increase in the property assessment and tax rates at Franklin Park Distribution Center and Atrium at Alpha. The increase in operating expenses relates to several expense categories and they are as follows: parking lot expenditures ($11,774), administrative costs ($7,266) and repairs and maintenance ($6,884). These increase are offset by a decrease in professional services ($12,849). Inflation - --------- The effects of inflation did not have a material impact upon the Trust's operations. -10- 11 II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings - -------------------------- On June 5, 1997, KelCor, Inc., a shareholder of the Trust ("KelCor"), brought a lawsuit against the Trust in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri. The lawsuit sought, among other things, (1) a declaratory judgment that shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of the Trust held by Physicians Insurance Company of Ohio, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "PICO Group") are "Excess Shares" as defined in Section 8.8 of the Trust's bylaws and therefor not entitled to vote or be considered in determining the presence of a quorum on any matter on which the Trust's shares are entitled to vote, and (2) an injunction to enjoin the Trust from, among other things, soliciting or voting any proxies in connection with, or conducting, any annual or special meeting of shareholders. On June 24, 1997 the Trust entered into a Settlement Agreement relating to the foregoing lawsuit. In the Settlement Agreement the Trust agreed to, among other things, postpone its Annual Meeting of Shareholders previously called for July 3, 1997, and to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders to vote on an amendment to Section 8.8 of the bylaws to settle the Excess Shares issues (which required the affirmative vote of 62% of the outstanding shares of the trust). The Trust held a Special Meeting of Shareholders on August 8, 1997 in Clayton, Missouri (the "Special Meeting"). The proposal did not obtain sufficient votes for passage of the amendment to the bylaws. See "Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders." On August 27, 1997, KelCor voluntarily dismissed, without prejudice, its lawsuit against the Trust. On September 8, 1997, KelCor filed a Petition in Mandamus in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, State of Missouri, seeking to force the Trust to hold an Annual Meeting of Shareholders on or before October 31, 1997. The Trust contests KelCor's right to the Mandamus relief sought and has answered KelCor's Petition and asserted affirmative defenses. The Court has set a hearing on KelCor's Petition for December 1, 1997. On September 18, 1997, the Trust filed its Petition For Declaratory Relief in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri, at Kansas City, against David L. Johnson, et al, seeking a judicial determination of whether there are any Excess Shares as defined by Section 8.8 of the Trust's bylaws and related issues concerning ownership of certain shares of the Trust. The Trust is conducting discovery against the defendants. No trial date has been set for this case. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders. - ------------------------------------------------------------- On August 8, 1997, the Trust held a Special Meeting of Shareholders in Clayton, Missouri, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement described in Item 1, to vote on an amendment to Section 8.8 of the bylaws, that would, among other things, suspend application and enforcement of the Bylaws in such a way as to clarify that the shares held by the PICO Group were not Excess Shares. -11- 12 The affirmative vote of 62% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Trust was required to amend the bylaws in the foregoing manner. The final certified vote showed the following results<F1>: Total Votes Cast: 703,163 Total Votes "For" the Trust's Proposal: 393,171 Total Votes "Against" the Trust's Proposal: 303,571 Total Abstentions: 6,421 Total Broker "Non-Votes" [0] Because only approximately 45.4% of the issued and outstanding shares voted in favor of the proposal, the proposal failed. [FN] - -------------------- <F1> The voting results provided include both votes cast on the proxy card solicited by the Trust's management and the proxy card solicited by the "Committee to Increase Shareholder Value at Nooney Realty Trust, Inc." The results do not include an aggregate of 8,303 votes which were not counted for purposes of the bylaw amendment proposal because of various difficulties in determining the genuine voting intention of those provided such proxy cards.
