ITEM 1:  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Development of Business.  

Westland   Development   Co.,   Inc.,  a  New  Mexico   for-profit   corporation
("Registrant"),  is the successor to a community  land grant  corporation  named
Town of Atrisco,  Inc., which itself was a successor to a Spanish community land
grant  named the Atrisco  Land  Grant.  Information  concerning  the  historical
background of these predecessor  organizations and the conversion in 1967 from a
community land grant corporation into a business corporation can be found in the
Registrant's  Form 10 and its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1974.
With limited  exceptions,  only lineal  descendants of the  incorporators of the
Town of Atrisco, New Mexico, may own shares of the Registrant's Common Stock.

The Registrant's  executive offices are located in its own building at 401 Coors
Boulevard,  N.W.,  Albuquerque,  New Mexico, 87121, telephone (505) 831-9600, on
land which was originally part of the Atrisco Land Grant.

The Registrant is the owner of approximately 59,000 acres of land located on the
west side of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Most of its property is held for long term
investment  and is not  currently  marketed  or planned for  development  in the
foreseeable  future,  most of which is  devoted to the  grazing  of cattle.  The
Registrant  derives  revenues through  commercial and land leases,  partnerships
formed for various  development  projects,  lot  development  and sales and land
sales.

As of  September  15, 1996,  approximately  250 acres of the  Registrant's  land
located on the west side of the City of Albuquerque,  New Mexico which have been
segregated for development remain to be sold.

The  Registrant  believes  that  over the next few  years it will  decrease  its
reliance on raw land sales and increase its sales of fully developed residential
lots  ready for  construction,  enter into joint  ventures,  land  developments,
ground leases,  limited partnerships and, if warranted by available capital, may
begin the  construction  of industrial  and  commercial  structures for lease or
sale. The Registrant's long term business  philosophy is to enhance the value of
the Registrant's land through careful planning and development,  while retaining
ownership  of a major  portion  of the  land in  perpetuity  and  simultaneously
increasing the value of the Registrant's  stock and to provide dividends for its
shareholders,  when consistent with the Registrant's  need for a sufficient cash
flow to meet current operating expenses.

Narrative Description of Business.

The  Registrant  previously  developed six sector plans for the  development  of
certain of its properties. Each such plan encompassed approximately 600 to 1,000
acres and are identified as Atrisco Urban Center and El Rancho Atrisco, Phases I
through  V.  Portions  of  Phases  I and IV have  been  developed  and  sold and
development  of Phase V sector plan was  abandoned due the  introduction  of the
Petroglyph  National Monument.  A revised sector plan for the area between Unser
and Paseo del Volcan was initiated in 1994.

Oil and Gas and Grazing Leases.  

Approximately  50,000 acres of the Registrant's land not planned for development
is currently  leased to others under  grazing  lease(s),  all of which were with
unaffiliated  persons,  providing  rental  income of  approximately  $143,000 in
fiscal  1996.  In the 1997 fiscal  year the  Registrant  agreed to certain  rent
abatements  for the leased  grazing  lands  because of a prolonged  drought that
severely limited the productive capacity of the land.

The Registrant has leased approximately 37,000 acres under and oil and gas lease
upon which it receives rental of approximately $2.00 per acre. In December,  the
lessee must pay $2.50 per acre to keep the lease in force.

The Registrant also owns and leases certain commercial buildings at an aggregate
annual rental of $551,000. (See "Revenue Producing Properties").

Development Properties.

As of June 30, 1996,  the  Registrant  continued to own portions of land that it
developed over the last 16 years.. A summary of this acreage is as follows:

a) Atrisco Urban Center.

1).  Atrisco  Urban Center  Development  and Sales:  The  Registrant  still owns
approximately  56 acres within this center.  During the last fiscal year it sold
approximately 16 acres within the center and continues to work with end users to
develop  additional  projects.  A senior  citizen's  center,  an assisted living
center, a single family housing subdivision,  five manufacturing  facilities,  a
warehouse facility, an office building, a police substation,  400-unit apartment
complex,  gas station and car wash are among the projects  currently  located in
the  Center.  See items  number 3 and 4 below for a  discussion  of last  year's
developed projects.

2) Atrisco  Urban Center  Rental  Properties:  The  Registrant  owns a two-story
office   building  in  the  Atrisco  Urban   Center.   The  entire  first  floor
(approximately 5,057 square feet of rentable space) is leased to Sunwest Bank of
Albuquerque,  N.A.  for use as a branch bank for a term ending in October  1999.
The Registrant occupies the second floor of this building.

3) Cedar Ridge Estates Subdivision:  The Registrant owns a 40 acre tract located
within  the  Atrisco  Urban  Center  zoned  for  a  single  family   residential
subdivision called Cedar Ridge Estates. The Registrant has completed development
of the first phase  consisting of  approximately 11 acres and 57 lots and during
fiscal 1995 a builder  executed an option  agreement  for the  purchase of those
developed lots upon which the builder is constructing homes priced from $110,000
to  $140,000.  As of  September  20,  1996,  Phase I had been fully sold and the
Registrant  has initiated  construction  of Phase Two for the  development of an
additional 71 lots.

4) Assisted Living Development Corporation:  The Registrant is a Limited Partner
in a  partnership  managed by Assisted  Living  Development  Corp.  of Portland,
Oregon  which has built and owns a housing  facility for persons in need of some
care  but  who  are  otherwise  ambulatory.  The 40 unit  complex  was  recently
completed and leasing is now underway.

b.  Sector Plan. 

1) The Registrant has prepared a sector development plan covering  approximately
6,400 acres  which it planned to have  annexed to the City of  Albuquerque.  The
sector  plan  area is  located  north  of  Interstate  40 and  south of the area
designated for the Petroglyph National Monument.  The Registrant initially filed
this plan  with the City of  Albuquerque,  but due to the  City's  inability  or
unwillingness  to guarantee the  availability  of water and sewer service to the
property in a timely manner,  the plan was withdrawn from the City and submitted
to  Bernalillo  County.  The County has  indicated a desire to furnish water and
sewer service to the property.

c. ERA Phase II; Volcano Business Park.  

Volcano  Business Park consists of  approximately  22 acres zoned for industrial
park uses of which 11 acres have been  platted and  developed  into 9 lots.  The
Registrant owns 50% of a partnership which  constructed,  manages and owns a 172
unit storage facility on approximately 1.7 acres of this property.  The facility
was completed in December of 1995 and as of September 15, 1996 was approximately
50% occupied.

d. ERA Phase III Commercial, Industrial and Residential Developments.

In 1985,  the  Registrant  completed  the planning of Heritage Park and Heritage
Plaza in El Rancho  Atrisco Phase III. Those plans  included  construction  of a
total of 200,000 square feet of office space,  approximately 100,000 square feet
of retail space.  El Rancho Atrisco III also includes,  130 acres for industrial
usage (Ladera  Industrial  Park), and 31 acres of high density  housing.  During
fiscal 1995, the Registrant sold a 6.3 acre tract which has been developed as an
affordable apartment complex. The Registrant has also joined a limited liability
corporation for the development of an 9.6 acre tract that will also be developed
for an affordable  senior,  multi-family  apartment  units.  As of September 15,
1996,  the  Registrant  had  entered  into  agreements  for the  sale of the LLC
corporation  and apartment  designated  land.  During fiscal 1996 the Registrant
sold a 0.86 acre parcel of land to Diamond  Shamrock  for the  development  of a
convenience  store-gas  station at the corner of Unser and Ladera Drive.  During
fiscal 1996, the  Registrant  also sold  approximately  16 acre tract to a local
developer for construction of additional single family homes.  Prospects for the
sale or development of the office and commercial  property are improving because
of the growing  demand for such  property on  Albuquerque's  west side,  and the
construction of single family homes west of Unser.

e.  Other Properties.  

1) Travel Plaza:  In March 1990, the Registrant  submitted a zone change request
to Bernalillo  County for 100 acres for a travel  center and related  commercial
uses. In June 1990, the County Commission  approved the request for zone change.
Anticipated  users may  include  restaurants,  motel-hotel  facilities,  fueling
stations,  and  other  travel/tourist  related  facilities.   During  1995,  the
Registrant  sold two acres,  on which there has now been a truck sales  facility
developed.

2) Parkway Units 7 and 8: In 1994, the Company  agreed to develop  approximately
15 acres of land (57 lots) for Sivage Thomas Homes  adjacent to its Parkway Unit
7 development. Development of the residential lots is complete and all lots were
sold by  November  of 1995.  The  Registrant  has also  designed  and had nearly
completed  construction of Parkway Unit 8, and in June, 1996, the total Unit was
sold to Sivage Thomas Homes.

3)  Recreation  Complex:  During  fiscal  1994,  the  Registrant  entered into a
lease/option arrangement with PG Corporation, a New Mexico corporation,  for 100
acres of Registrant's  land located north of I-40 on Paseo del Volcan. A portion
of the property was subsequently developed as a recreation and softball complex.
The Registrant  exchanged $100,000 in rental and option payments for a 6% equity
position in the  Partnership  which owns and  operates the  recreation  venture.
Bernalillo County is currently considering purchasing the complex, including 100
acres of the Registrant's properties.

4). Tierra Oeste: The Registrant committed  approximately 28 acres of land north
of Ladera Dr., west of Unser Blvd, to a limited liability corporation.  In July,
1995, this limited liability  corporation  executed a sale agreement with a home
builder for the  purchase of developed  lots and the  Registrant  believed  that
construction  would be started on the property  during the fall of 1995.  During
1995, the other developer owning 50% of the LLC corporation filed bankruptcy and
the property and LLC corporation became tied up in the bankruptcy  procedure The
Registrant paid $100,000 to have the property and the LLC  corporation  released
from the  bankruptcy  proceedings,  with  ownership  of the LLC and the property
passing to the  Registrant  free from the claims of others.  The  Registrant  is
currently  negotiating  the sale of the property or the  corporation  to another
home builder.

5). Education and Community  Projects:  Approximately 50 acres of land have been
donated  to  the  Technical-Vocational  Institute  for  the  construction  of  a
southwest mesa campus.  The Company also donated  approximately 8 acres to Youth
Development,  Inc. The  properties are located in the Gun Club Rd. area, but the
Registrant  and TVI have agreed to trade the 50 acres which had been  donated to
it for a like parcel of land of equal value along the proposed  extension of Rio
Bravo.  In addition,  the Registrant  has verbally  agreed to donate 12 acres to
Albuquerque Public Schools and up to 10 acres to the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, in
the same area.

6). The Registrant has, in the last year,  completed nine transactions  totaling
fifty- two  acres,  not  including  lots sold to Sivage  Thomas  Homes and Scott
Patrick Homes.

7). On June 27, 1990, the United States  Congress  established an  approximately
7,000 acre national monument (the Petroglyph  National Monument) to preserve and
protect the volcanic  escarpment on Albuquerque's West Mesa area. The Monument's
proposed boundaries included approximately 1,964 acres of the Registrant's land.
The Company sold 444 acres in fiscal year 1992,  713 acres in fiscal  1993,  118
acres in fiscal 1994, and 24 acres in fiscal 1995, to the National Park Service.
The Park  Service  purchased  no land from the  Registrant  during  fiscal 1996.
Approximately  665 acres have yet to be  acquired  by the Park  Service  and the
Registrant has been given no assurance when the final  purchases of the property
may occur.  The  Registrant's  Board of Directors  has agreed  that,  subject to
negotiation  of  acceptable  terms  of sale,  the  Registrant  will  sell to the
National Park Service the Registrant's remaining lands included in the Monument.

f. Reinvestment Revenue Producing Properties.  

As part of the Registrant's plan to defer as much of the tax burden arising from
the sale of its  lands to the  Park  Service  for  inclusion  in the  Petroglyph
National  Monument,  during the last fiscal year it reinvested  its funds in the
properties  described  below.  As a result of these  purchases,  the  Registrant
believes  that it has deferred  approximately  $3,555,000 of taxes during fiscal
1995 and 1996.

During the last two fiscal years, as part of its tax deferral program related to
proceeds  from the sale of its land  included in the  Petroglyph  Monument,  the
Registrant  purchased land upon which commercial  buildings were constructed and
leased to others. Those properties are:

a) A commercial building at Coors Boulevard and Sequoia Road in Albuquerque at a
cost of $2,630,000,  $1,908,000 of which is subject to a mortgage upon which the
Registrant must pay monthly  payments of $17,630.  This building has been leased
to  Walgreen  Co.  for 20  years  at a fixed  rent of  $19,173  per  month  plus
additional  rent based upon a percentage  of gross sales up to a maximum rent of
$460,161 in any one year.  Walgreen,  Co. may continue the term of the lease for
an additional 40 years

b)  A  commercial  building  in  Albuquerque's  Industrial  Park  at a  cost  of
$1,074,000, $768,000 of which is subject to a mortgage upon which the Registrant
must make monthly  payments of $6,893.  This building has been leased to Circuit
City Stores for 10 years at an escalating  rental  beginning at $4.25 per square
foot the first year and  increasing  in stages to $5.55 per  square  foot in the
tenth year.  The lessee has also been  granted the right to extend the lease for
two additional 5 year terms at escalating  rental rates during each of the years
of any extended term. The current rent is $8,710 per month.

c) A  commercial  building  located at Coors  Boulevard  and Central  Avenue was
purchased  during the 1996 fiscal year for a purchase price of  $3,504,109.  The
building has been leased to Walgreen  Co., on a minimum 20 year lease at a fixed
rent of $26,122 per month.  Walgreen, Co. may continue the term of the lease for
an additional  40 years.  The property was purchased on the basis of a cash down
payment plus assumption of a construction loan in the amount of $1,623,388. Loan
payments for the pending  mortgage are  estimated to be $25,000 per month for 20
years.

All of the above three  properties  were  purchased by the Registrant in part to
defer taxes  resulting  from the forced sale of its lands to the  National  Park
Service for inclusion in the Petroglyph National Monument.

Current Real Estate Market Conditions.  

The market  conditions for the development and sale of properties in Albuquerque
are  positive at the present  time.  The  abundance  of  properties  for sale at
relatively low prices due to foreclosures, failures, and takeovers which existed
for the past several  years seems to have been  absorbed,  including  properties
held by the Resolution Trust  Corporation.  After a period of high  occupancies,
the  multi-family  market enjoyed a building  boom,  which has resulted in lower
occupancies  and rent, on average.  For the  foreseeable  future it appears that
commercial and industrial activity will further stabilize and the boom in single
family residential construction will slow, but continue to be strong.

Competition.  

The Registrant's  industrial parks - The Atrisco Urban Center,  Volcano Business
Park and Ladera Industrial Park compete with other business and industrial parks
in the Albuquerque area,  including some that are more established and some that
are located nearer the major population  centers of Albuquerque.  The Registrant
believes that a sale to Coca Cola by others within the Business Park will add to
the quality of the Park's tenants and will attract other businesses to the Park.

Residential  subdivisions on the  Registrant's  land compete with other areas in
the Albuquerque  housing market  (essentially  Bernalillo County and portions of
Sandoval County and Valencia County),  as well as with other subdivisions on the
western side of the City of Albuquerque.  A number of large  subdivisions to the
north of the  Registrant's  land are not fully  sold.  These  include Rio Rancho
(about six miles north of the  Registrant's  land),  Paradise  Hills (about five
miles north of the  Registrant's  land),  Volcano  Cliffs and Taylor Ranch (each
about two to three miles north of the Registrant's land).

Development of a regional  shopping center on Registrant's land has been delayed
indefinitely  because of the establishment of a regional shopping center located
in the northwest portion of the City of Albuquerque  (about 5 miles north of the
Registrant's  land),  as well as the  development  of other large strip  centers
being constructed by competitors to the north of the Registrant's  land, but the
Registrant  signed a listing agreement with a broker to market Heritage Plaza at
the corner of I-40 and Unser to potential users as a neighborhood  center during
fiscal  1996.  The listing  agreement  expired on August 31,  1996,  without any
tenants having been secured.

The  mandate by the State  Legislature  for  implementation  of Impact  Fees may
result in the  Registrant's  lands  being  disadvantaged  because  the fees that
surrounding counties may be permitted to charge may be less than those that will
be charged by Albuquerque  and Bernalillo  County.  Bernalillo  County began the
assessment of such fees beginning on January 1, 1996, but the Registrant has not
been able to determine  whether these fees will  adversely  impact its business.
Albuquerque has not yet adopted any Impact Fee structure.

Employees. 

As of June 30,  1996,  the  Registrant  had nine  full-time  and nine  part-time
employees.  The Registrant's  president,  who is also a director, is a full time
employee. The Registrant also had contractual relationships with six individuals
who provided various services to the Company.

Government Regulations.  

The  Registrant's  ability to undertake an active  program of development of its
land and  management  of its rental  properties,  (whether such  development  is
performed by the Registrant itself or by sale of the Registrant's land to others
for development),  is dependent on the Registrant's  ability to comply with laws
and regulations of the State of New Mexico and Bernalillo  County,  and the City
of  Albuquerque,   applicable  to  general  environmental  protection,  land-use
planning, annexation, zoning and subdivisions. Both County and City regulate the
subdivision  of land and impose  zoning and building  permit  requirements.  The
subdivision  regulations of both  Bernalillo  County and the City of Albuquerque
require,  as a condition  of approval of proposed  subdivisions,  that  adequate
provision  be made by the  developer  for  land  use  planning,  water  (both to
quantity and quality),  liquid waste disposal, solid waste disposal,  sufficient
and adequate roads and storm drain management.

Although the compliance with federal,  state, and local  provisions  relating to
the protection of the  environment,  including laws regulating  subdivisions and
land-use  planning,  has had no material  effect upon the capital  expenditures,
earnings and competitive  position of the Registrant,  no assurance can be given
that this situation will continue.  Requests relating to flood drainage, traffic
flow and similar matters from the City of Albuquerque have occasionally  delayed
the  receipt  of  necessary  building  permits  and  required   modification  of
development  proposals.  The opening of the Double Eagle II Municipal Airport by
the City of  Albuquerque  to the  north of the  Registrant's  Land on Paseo  del
Volcan may have an impact on the use of and planning for the  Registrant's  Land
in the vicinity of the airport as will the creation of the  Petroglyph  National
Monument, although Management believes both facilities will favorably impact the
Company's Lands.

At the  Registrant's  request,  the  City of  Albuquerque  has  created  Special
Assessment  Districts  affecting  the  Atrisco  Urban  Center  and the El Rancho
Atrisco  areas  for the  financing  of water,  sewer,  paving  and other  street
improvements, and levied assessment liens on them. This has provided a mechanism
for financing these improvements.

Approximately  3,000 acres of the  Registrant's  land is designated  "Developing
Urban"  by  the  current   Albuquerque/Bernalillo   County  Comprehensive  Plan.
According  to the Plan,  "Developing  Urban" land is land  without  accepted and
approved   platting,   but  which  has  adequate   resource   capabilities   for
urbanization.  Certain land use regulations  contained in the Comprehensive Plan
apply to said land which may  inhibit  its  development  to its highest and best
use.

Availability of Water and Municipal Services.  

The  unavailability of sufficient water has often been a major inhibiting factor
in  the  land  development  business  in  the  Southwest.   The  extent  of  the
Registrant's water rights has not been determined. However, lack of ownership of
water  rights  by the  Registrant  would  not  be an  inhibiting  factor  to the
developing of the Registrant's  land if adequate water were to be made available
through the City of  Albuquerque  and/or  Bernalillo  County  and/or other water
sources or by purchase by the  Registrant or a developer that might purchase and
develop  land.  For  example,  both  Tierra  West  Mobile  Home  Park and the PG
Corporation  Complex leased or purchased  water rights and drilled wells to meet
their water needs.

Under present annexation policies of the City of Albuquerque,  annexation to the
City of Albuquerque of portions of the Registrant's land is a requirement by the
City before it will extend water and sewer services  within a reasonable  period
of time after  annexation.  However,  the cost of water  distribution  and sewer
lines would have to be borne by the  developer,  or by subsequent  purchasers of
the annexed portions. The Registrant has not been given timely assurances by the
City for service,  and annexation by the City has not been pursued.  Alternative
methods  of  providing  water,  sewer and other  services  are  currently  being
investigated,  including the possibility that Bernalillo  County may provide the
services.

With the exception of the Atrisco Urban Center and the residential subdivisions,
most of the  Registrant's  land lies outside the municipal limits of the City of
Albuquerque and is not furnished with City of Albuquerque water or other City of
Albuquerque services. The Registrant experienced little difficulty in having the
Atrisco  Urban Center and the  residential  subdivisions  annexed to the City of
Albuquerque  and  furnished  with  services,  but the same cannot be assumed for
other areas of Registrant's land.

Other Factors Affecting Development of Registrant's Land. 

Various activist groups, as well as neighborhood organizations occasionally have
in the past taken actions which have, to some extent,  delayed the  Registrant's
plans for the development of some of its lands.  During the 1994 fiscal year two
activist  groups  filed  appeals  with the City of  Albuquerque  related  to the
Registrant's  Sector Plan.  However,  the Sector Plan was upheld with only minor
modifications.
     
ITEM 2:  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The major physical assets owned by the Registrant are its land which is owned in
fee simple.  The land comprises  approximately  59,000 acres of undeveloped land
held for long-term investment and approximately 250 acres of land remaining from
those which the Registrant  has developed to various  stages of completion.  The
Registrant  also owns the  Atrisco  Urban  Center  office  building,  comprising
approximately  11,097  square  feet,  which the  Registrant  uses in its  rental
operations.  This building has mortgages  against it  aggregating  approximately
$290,541 as of June 30, 1996. Approximately 5.500 square footage of the building
is leased to Sunwest Bank at a monthly  rental of $3,160.  The  Registrant  also
owns three commercial buildings that are leased to others. See "Item 1. Business
- - Reinvestment Properties." The Registrant also owns a one-half equity ownership
interest in a self storage  facility (see "Item 1. "Business - Volcano  Business
Park")

The population of the Albuquerque metropolitan area has grown significantly over
the last 40 years. Physical expansion of the City of Albuquerque has taken place
on the north,  south and east sides,  but the bulk of the most recent growth has
been west of the Rio Grande  River where the  Registrant's  land is located.  In
fact, much of the real property  directly west of the City of Albuquerque is the
Registrant's  land,  which  was  previously  considered  unmarketable  and  was,
therefore,  generally viewed as being  unavailable for the expansion of the City
of  Albuquerque.  The Registrant  anticipates  that growth of the West Side will
continue into the foreseeable future.

The Registrant's land is crossed by Interstate  Highway I-40, the main east-west
thoroughfare  through   Albuquerque.   Access  to  the  Registrant's  land  from
Interstate 40 is provided by the Coors  Boulevard  interchange  near the eastern
edge of the Registrant's land, by the Unser Boulevard interchange at the western
edge of the Atrisco Urban Center, by the 98th Street  interchange to the west of
the Atrisco  Urban  Center and by the Paseo del Volcan  interchange  where I-40,
Paseo  del  Volcan  and  Central  Avenue  meet.  Running  north  from  the  I-40
interchange,  Paseo del Volcan transverses about 4 1/2 miles of the Registrant's
land  to the  Double  Eagle  II  Airport.  In  1994,  the  Registrant  dedicated
approximately 180 acres to Bernalillo County for the linking of Paseo del Volcan
and Rio  Bravo.  The  County  has built out Paseo del  Volcan  south of the I-40
interchange.  The County is expected to begin construction on Rio Bravo in early
1997.  The Registrant  and other  landowners and developers  (the Northwest Loop
Association)  dedicated  land and has paid a portion of the design costs for the
Northwest  Loop,  which  has  been  approved  by the New  Mexico  State  Highway
Commission.  The Northwest Loop will extend for  approximately 39 miles and will
connect I-40 and New Mexico State Highway 44,  traversing the western portion of
the Registrant's  land. In 1995 the Registrant donated 169 acres for development
of the Northwest  Loop.  Completion of the Northwest Loop is not expected for 15
to 20 years. Most of the Registrant's land is remote and not readily accessible,
not serviced by  utilities,  and  Registrant  believes that the bulk of its land
will not be available for development in the foreseeable future.

There is no  limitation  on the kind of  securities  into which the  Company may
exchange real estate. The Company has considered,  and would,  exchange property
for partnership  units or other  securities  issued by others for the purpose of
developing the Company's land.

A large portion of the  undeveloped  land is leased for  agricultural  uses (see
"Item 1. Business.").  The bulk of the Registrant's undeveloped land is held for
long term investment.

In the opinion of the Company's  Management,  its property is adequately covered
by insurance.

neither the Company  any member of  management  is the subject of any pending or
threatened legal proceedings.

September 27, 1996


Dear Shareholders:

1996  marked  another  successful  year for  Westland!  With New Mexico  growing
rapidly,  Westland has  benefited  from the expansion of the  manufacturing  and
residential sectors on the west side. The Company's future prospects are bright,
and we will continue to ensure that our shareholders benefit from our success.

With the increased  tempo of change in Albuquerque,  careful  planning is a high
priority.  Whether it is working with major  developers to investigate a variety
of land use possibilities or cooperating with government officials to ensure the
timely implementation of infrastructure (e.g. utilities),  Westland is dedicated
to building the future of the west side on a solid foundation.

The  driving  force  behind our  various  projects  is, and always  will be, the
preservation  of the Company and its heritage for our future heirs.  Seven years
ago,  this  future  was  endangered:  we do  not  know  of  another  company  in
Albuquerque  that has had to overcome such enormous  obstacles  just to survive.
But with the  strength  that our  people  have  always  shown,  we not only have
survived, but thrived since that time.

On August 27, 1996 you received the sixth dividend the Company has paid over the
last five years.  We will  continue to strive to provide  dividends  to you from
profits  every  year.  Our  sincere  "thanks"  to so many of you who called with
appreciation  of our efforts on your behalf.  We also wish to thank the numerous
shareholders  who  offer  prayers  for  myself,  the  Board,  and our  Company's
continued success.

Sincerely,



Barbara Page
President & Chief Executive Officer


P.S.  The Annual  Meeting  will be held on  November  1, 1996 at the Double Tree
Hotel, 201 Marquette NW on the first floor in the Ulam Salons II and III.


BUSINESS OF WESTLAND

     Westland  owns a large tract of land  consisting  of  approximately  59,000
acres  (the  "Land")  located on the west side of the City of  Albuquerque,  New
Mexico.  Most of the Land is held for  long-term  investment  and is  leased  to
others for grazing purposes while the balance is held for development, sales and
leasing activities. Approximately 48,000 acres of this Land were originally part
of the Atrisco Land Grant,  which was granted to a group of Spanish  settlers in
1692.

     Approximately 700 acres within the monument boundary remain to be purchased
by National Park Service for the Petroglyph National Monument.
 
     Westland  generates cash internally  through its land  operations  (grazing
leases, real estate sales and commercial leases) and externally through long and
short-term  borrowing.  The profitability and resulting cash flows of Westland's
land operations depend on numerous  factors,  such as demand for grazing leases,
land  leases,  supply  of  competitively   priced,   developed  or  undeveloped,
properties for  residential,  industrial or commercial uses. Over the long term,
Westland  expects that residential and industrial  growth on Albuquerque's  west
side will  increase  demand for  Westland's  Land,  thus  increasing  Westland's
ability to generate  revenue from land development and sales. In the short term,
however,  periodic  local  economic  conditions  may decrease the number of land
sales and hinder development, such as during the period from 1986 through 1992.

     Westland's basic business  philosophy has been to hold certain areas of the
land in trust for  shareholders  and to enhance  the value of other areas of the
Land through careful planning and development to assure perpetual benefit to the
Company and its shareholders.

MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS OF  FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION

     In the past fiscal year,  land sales  increased  over the prior year as the
Company continued sales of improved residential lots to builders and acquired an
additional property leased by a large national retailer. Increased land revenues
are due to not only the  recovery  of the housing  market in the U.S.,  but also
Westland's  strategy  initiated  in fiscal  1994 to  generate  more  revenue  by
developing infrastructure and selling finished lots to builders rather than land
sales, as well as investment in long-term single tenant leased buildings.

     During the last  fiscal  year there were no sales of lands to the  National
Park Service  ("NPS") as part of its  acquisition  of the lands  included in the
Petroglyph  National  Monument.  In 1994,  such sales were  $1,058,000 or 43% of
total revenue and in 1995, $329,000 or 11% of revenue.

     With the recovery of the real estate  business in  Albuquerque,  Management
continues  to believe  that the Company is no longer as  dependent on large bulk
sales of its Land and that its income will continue to strengthen  with the sale
of small improved  parcels and lots, even though the costs  associated with such
sales will always be a larger percentage of revenue than the expenses associated
with large bulk sales.  Albuquerque  continues to be one of the fastest  growing
cities  in  the  Southwest  and,  because  of  certain  geographical  and  other
limitations on its growth,  Westland's  Lands lie directly in the path of future
predictable  growth  patterns.  Sales of improved  residential lots in 1996 were
approximately $1,147,000,  compared to sales of approximately $745,000 in fiscal
1995.

     Westland's  future revenues will continue to be largely  dependent upon the
sale  of  land.  The  Company's  assets  are  illiquid,  comprising  principally
undeveloped land. Sales are dependent upon the market conditions in Albuquerque,
New  Mexico,  which now appear to have  recovered  from the  depressed  state of
several years ago.

     Westland  anticipates  making  capital  commitments  for  land  development
projects  over the next few years if the economy and  opportunities  continue to
improve  to the  extent  that  such  expenditures  would be  warranted.  Capital
commitments  may include  assessments for roads and water and sewer lines on its
land. Infrastructure improvements are paid for by assessments which increase the
value of Westland's land and make further development possible. Westland intends
to incur capital  expenditures when management  determines such investments will
increase the value of the Land and generate future revenue.

     Land is Westland's principal capital resource, and is valued, for financial
accounting purposes, at its 1907 value plus the cost of improvements, Westland's
balance  sheet does not reflect  the actual  current  value of this  asset.  The
Company has no current appraisals of the Land and,  therefore,  the actual value
of the land is not known.  The carrying  value of the Land was decreased  during
the fiscal  year ended June 30,  1996,  primarily  to reflect  land  sales.  The
carrying  value will be increased or decreased  regularly as Westland  acquires,
sells  or  develops  parcels  of land.  Management  believes  the June 30,  1996
carrying value of the Land is  substantially  less than the current market value
of  the  land.   Westland's  balance  sheet  also  segregates   income-producing
properties which consist of commercial real estate and improvements.  The actual
value of  Westland's  land  varies,  depending  on  national  and  local  market
conditions and the amount and proximity of roads,  utilities and other amenities
to the land under development.  As Albuquerque continues to grow, the land value
of both developed and undeveloped Land should increase.

     The company is continuing to study the feasibility of establishing  various
agricultural  developments  for  portions  of  its  Land.  Such  development  is
contingent on the availability of adequate water.

     Westland is moving forward on the  establishment  of its Sector Plan in the
area north of Interstate 40 and south of the area  designated for the Petroglyph
National Monument between Unser and Paseo del Volcan for the development of that
portion of its properties. Although the Sector Plan was initially filed with the
City of  Albuquerque,  the City could not furnish any  assurance  that water and
sewer  services would be made  available in a reasonable  period of time,  which
resulted  in the Plan being  withdrawn  from the City while the Company has been
working with  Bernalillo  County to determine if those services can be furnished
by the County. The Sector plan excludes land located in the Monument.

Financial Condition:

     During fiscal 1996, total assets increased to $15,488,167 from $13,182,499,
while liabilities increased from $8,214,689 to $10,290,537 . This was the result
of the Management's  efforts to replace lands sold through  investments to defer
taxes.  During fiscal 1996 the Company  invested  $3,065,764 in income producing
and other  properties  and the  accompanying  borrowing on notes and  mortgages,
which amounted to $2,618,398.  This  significant  net investment  along with the
increase in deposits of cash for the retirement of bonds outstanding and payment
of dividends of $475,624  decreased cash and  equivalents  by  $1,045,765,  even
though operations provided $1,311,720.

     As a result,  in fiscal 1996, the Company  finalized an arrangement  with a
local bank for a  $2,000,000  line of  credit,  collateralized  by certain  real
property.  The purpose of the line of credit is to provide  funds  necessary for
its continued  expansion.  At June 30, 1996, only $1,000,000 was available until
interim financing on the newly acquired property at Coors and Central is repaid.

     During  fiscal  1997,  the Company  will be  obligated to pay income tax of
approximately $144,000 should replacement properties totaling $360,000 for lands
sold to the National Park not be acquired.

     Management believes that the uncommitted balance of cash, cash equivalents,
investments  and its  borrowing  capacity  are  sufficient  to  meet  all of the
Company's  obligations during 1997 without considering  additional revenues that
may be generated during that period.

Results of Operations:

     In 1996,  land revenues  increased by $1,497,441 from $2,836,926 in 1995 to
$4,334,367.  The related  cost of land  revenues  increased  to  $1,708,993,  or
$1,180,598  from  $528,395  in fiscal  1995.  Management  expects  this trend of
increasing cost of sales to continue as more and smaller tracts are sold. Rental
revenue  increased  from $112,666 to $394,419 due to the  acquisition  of large,
single  tenant  properties,  and the related  costs  increased  from  $30,525 to
$119,862.  These  increases are expected to continue as the Company  expands its
activities in these areas.

MARKET  PRICE  OF  AND  DIVIDENDS  ON  WESTLAND'S   COMMON  EQUITY  AND  RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

     Because ownership of Westland's stock is restricted in the manner discussed
below,  no established  public trading market exists for Westland's  outstanding
shares and, to the best of Westland's knowledge,  no dealer has made, is making,
or is  attempting  to create such a market from which to  determine an aggregate
market  value of any of  Westland's  stock.  In 1989,  Westland  entered into an
arrangement with an independent stockbroker to broker transactions in Westland's
stock between  shareholders.  The broker has informed Westland that the price at
which   Westland's   common  stock  had  been  bought  and  sold  by  Westland's
shareholders  during the last two fiscal  years and during the ninety  (90) days
preceding this date of this report shares has consistently  been $9.50 to $10.00
per share.

     Since  1982,  the  outstanding  shares  have been  subject to  restrictions
imposed by a majority of Westland's shareholders who amended Westland's Articles
of  Incorporation.  Those Articles  prohibit (with certain  limited  exceptions)
transfer  of Westland  stock to persons  other than  lineal  descendants  of the
original  incorporators  of the  Town  of  Atrisco  (a  New  Mexico  Land  Grant
Corporation).

     The following table sets forth the approximate  number of holders of record
of each class of Westland's common stock as of September 15, 1996:

                                             Number of 
      Title of Class                         Record Holders

No Par Value Common                              5366
$1.00 Par Value Common        Class A               0  
$1.00 Par Value Common        Class B              16

     Dividends: During each of the last two (2) fiscal years ended June 30, 1995
and June 30, 1996,  Westland  declared and paid cash dividends to  shareholders,
aggregating a total during the two years of $1,243,333. Also, subsequent to June
30, 1996,  the Company has paid an  additional  cash dividend of $0.60 per share
for an aggregate of $480,125.

ON WRITTEN  REQUEST,  THE COMPANY WILL PROVIDE,  WITHOUT  CHARGE,  A COPY OF ITS
ANNUAL  REPORT ON FORMS  10-KSB  FOR THE FISCAL  YEAR ENDED JUNE 30,  1996 TO BE
FILED WITH THE  SECURITIES  AND EXCHANGE  COMMISSION  (INCLUDING  THE  FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE SCHEDULES  THERETO) TO ANY RECORD HOLDER OR BENEFICIAL  OWNER
OF THE COMPANY'S  SHARES AS OF THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON SEPTEMBER 20, 1996.  ANY

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             June 30, 1996 and 1995


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1. History of Company and Beginning Basis of Financial Reporting

In 1892,  the  descendants  of the owners of a land grant  deeded in 1692 by the
Kingdom of Spain became  incorporators of a land grant corporation named Town of
Atrisco.  Ownership of the Town of Atrisco was based on proportionate  ownership
of the land  grant.  In 1967,  the Town of Atrisco  was  reorganized  and became
Westland Development Co., Inc. (the "Company"),  with the heirs receiving shares
in the  Company  in  proportion  to their  ancestors'  interests  in the Town of
Atrisco  corporation.  The net assets of $232,582 at the date of  reorganization
were assigned as follows:

     Value of no par common stock as 
          stated in the Articles of Incorporation      $    8,500
     Additional paid-in capital                           224,082 
                                                       ----------
                                                       $  232,582 
                                                       ==========

The Company  estimated that it owned  approximately  49,000 acres of land at the
date of incorporation as Westland Development Co., Inc. Such acreage was used as
the  beginning  cost basis for  financial  reporting  purposes and was valued at
$127,400  ($2.60 per acre) based on an  appraisal in 1973 which  determined  the
approximate  value of the land in 1907. This date approximates the date that the
Patent of  Confirmation  covering the land comprising the Atrisco Land Grant was
given to the Town of Atrisco by the United States of America.  Since the date of
the Patent of Confirmation, the Company's acreage has increased in market value,
but a full determination of such value has not been made.

The Company includes its  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  El Campo Santo,  Inc., on a
consolidated basis. El Campo Santo, Inc. is a wholly-owned nonprofit corporation
created to manage cemeteries set aside on Company land for the stockholders.  El
Campo Santo, Inc. has no significant  assets,  liabilities,  or operations.  All
material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2.   Nature of Operations

The  Company  develops,  sells,  or leases its land  holdings,  all of which are
located  near  Albuquerque,  New Mexico.  The Company may use joint  ventures or
participation in limited  partnerships to accomplish these  activities.  Revenue
sources for the years ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 consist primarily of proceeds
from  vacant  land  sales  and  rentals  from  developed  properties,   such  as
single-tenant  retail  stores and office  space.  Land  sales are  primarily  to
commercial   developers  and  others  in  the   Albuquerque   area  and  certain
governmental  agencies,  and the terms of sale  include  both cash and  internal
financing by the Company. Such sales are collateralized by the land. The Company
has relied primarily upon cash land sales over the past several years due to the
collection risk associated with real estate contracts.

3.   Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash  equivalents  are considered to include highly liquid  investments
with maturities of three months or less and money market funds.

The Company  maintains its cash in bank deposit  accounts which,  at times,  may
exceed  federally  insured  limits  and in  money  market  funds  which  are not
federally  insured.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts
and believes it is not exposed to any  significant  credit risk on cash and cash
equivalents.

4.   Land and Improvements Held for Future Development

Land and  improvements  held for future  development are recorded at cost not to
exceed net realizable value.  Improvements consist of abstracts,  surveys, legal
fees,  master and sector  plans,  infrastructure  improvements,  and other costs
related to land held by the Company  which are  allocated to  respective  tracts
primarily by specific identification of costs.

5.   Income-Producing Properties and Property and Equipment

Income-producing  properties and property and equipment are stated at cost, less
accumulated depreciation, computed on a straight-line basis over their estimated
lives of three to thirty  years.  The cost of the  building in which the Company
has its offices,  a portion of which is rented to others,  has been allocated to
property  and  equipment  and  income-producing  properties  based  upon  square
footage.

6.   Recognition of Income on Real Estate Transactions

The Company  recognizes  the entire gross profit on sales where the down payment
is sufficient to meet the requirements for the full-accrual method. Transactions
where  the down  payment  is not  sufficient  to meet the  requirements  for the
full-accrual method are recorded using the deposit or installment method.  Under
the deposit method,  cash received is recorded as a deposit on land sale.  Under
the  installment  method,  the Company records the entire contract price and the
related costs at the time the transaction is recognized as a sale. Concurrently,
the gross  profit on the sale is  deferred  and is  subsequently  recognized  as
revenue in the  statements  of earnings as payments of principal are received on
the related contract receivable.

7.   Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets or liabilities are determined based on the difference
between  financial  statement and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities as
measured by the enacted tax rates in effect using the liability method.

8.   Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted  average  number of common
and  dilutive  common  equivalent  shares  outstanding  during the year.  Common
equivalent  shares include the number of no par value common shares which may be
issued in connection with eliminating fractional shares (which resulted from the
determination  made by the Court in the heirship  case) and the number of no par
value  common  shares for which the Court  ruled that no  incorporator  or heirs
existed.

9.   Investments in Partnerships and Joint Ventures

Investments in  partnerships  and joint ventures are accounted for on the equity
method.

10.  Trading Securities

Debt and equity  securities that are bought and held principally for sale in the
near term are reported at fair value,  with unrealized gains and losses included
in earnings.

11.  Reclassifications

Certain  reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements
to conform to the June 30, 1996 presentation.

12.  Use of Estimates

In  preparing  financial   statements  in  conformity  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles,  management is required to make estimates and assumptions
that affect  certain  reported  amounts  and  disclosures;  accordingly,  actual
results could differ from those estimates.

13.  Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement

The  Financial   Accounting  Standards  Board  has  issued  Statement  No.  121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed  Of"  ("Statement  121"),  which  requires  impairment  losses to be
recorded on long-lived  assets used in operations  when indicators of impairment
are present and the  undiscounted  cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amounts.  Statement 121 also addresses
the accounting for long-lived assets for which disposal is expected. The Company
will adopt  Statement  121 in the first quarter of the year ended June 30, 1997;
however, the effect of adoption has not been determined.


NOTE B - REAL ESTATE CONTRACTS RECEIVABLE

Real estate contracts receivable are summarized as follows at June 30, 1996:

     Promissory note from developer, 
     noninterest-bearing, due September 12, 1996;

                                             ========


NOTE C - LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS HELD FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

incorporation.  Plans for ultimate  development of the properties  have not been
finalized.

Land and improvements consist of the following at June 30, 1996:

     Land                                                        $1,061,702  
     Improvements                                                 4,054,719

The Company has general  obligation bonds  outstanding of $625,900 which provide
for 7% annual interest  payments and mature June 30, 1998.  Pursuant to the bond
indenture,  the  Company  must  deposit  with the bond  trustee an amount not to
exceed 20% of the face amount of all such issued and outstanding  Series B bonds
less the amount of interest accumulated or accrued on funds previously deposited
pursuant to the terms of the agreement,  or 20% of the Company's net income from
the sale of such  properties,  whichever  is  less.  As of June  30,  1996,  all
required  deposits  due July 15, 1995 were on deposit  with the bond trustee and
are included in other  assets in the amount of $410,024.  The Company may redeem
the bonds prior to maturity by payment of the principal amount plus a premium of
2% of the  principal  balance,  plus  accrued  interest,  through  the  date  of
redemption. The bonds are collateralized by 20% of the net income, as defined in
the bond indenture, to be received from the sale of approximately 2,000 acres of
land to the United States  Government for inclusion in the  Petroglyph  National
Monument (Note K).

The Company  maintains a line of credit with a bank which  provides a maximum of
$2,000,000 (limited to $1,000,000 until a mortgage with the same bank is paid in

tracts of land.  Interest  is  payable  quarterly  with the  balance  payable at
maturity,  December 1, 1996.  At June 30,  1996,  the Company had  approximately

future.  Significant changes in assumptions concerning future taxable income and
deductions may cause changes in the valuation allowance.


NOTE G - COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS

Under  its  Articles  of  Incorporation,  the  Company  is  authorized  to issue
1,964,448 shares of common stock classified as follows:

(a) 736,668  shares of no par value common stock to represent  $8,500  estimated
value of land held by the Town of Atrisco;

(b) 736,668  shares to be sold for $1.45 a share,  designated as Class A, $1 par
value  common  stock.  Class A stock is to be sold only to the  stockholders  of
record as of the date of incorporation as follows:

At the  first  sale of such  stock,  each  stockholder  shall  have the right to
purchase up to the number of shares  obtained by  dividing  the total  number of
stockholders of record on the date of incorporation into 736,668 shares.

Any stock remaining  unpurchased  shall be offered for sale at subsequent sales,
and only  stockholders  who purchased  stock at a preceding  sale shall have the
right to  purchase  stock at a  subsequent  sale,  each one  being  entitled  to
purchase up to the number of shares  obtained by  dividing  the total  number of
stockholders of record who purchased at the preceding sale into the total number
of unpurchased shares remaining after the preceding sale.

(c)  491,112  shares  to be sold for a price to be  determined  by the  Board of
Directors,  designated as Class B, $1 par value common stock. Those acquiring no
par value common stock and Class A, $1 par value common stock have no preemptive
rights to purchase Class B, $1 par value common stock.

The following summarizes, at June 30, 1996, the number of shares of common stock
which, upon judicial  determination,  can be distributed (no par) or offered for
sale (Class A) to stockholders of record as of the date of incorporation:

There is no established market value for the Company's common stock. At June 30,
1996,  716,608 shares of the Company's no par value common stock were issued and
outstanding.  Of the 5,047 shares of no par value common stock  issuable,  1,872
shares may be issued in  connection  with  eliminating  fractional  shares which
resulted  from the  determinations  made by the Court in the  heirship  case and
3,175 shares  represent  shares for which the Court in the  heirship  case ruled
that no  incorporator  or heirs  existed.  The Company also has  reacquired  and
canceled   15,013   shares  of  no  par  value  common  stock  which  have  been
constructively  retired.  These  shares have not been  formally  retired and, as
such, may be issuable to stockholders of record as of the date of incorporation.

During 1985, the  stockholders  of the Company  approved a stock option plan for
certain  directors and employees.  During 1987, the plan was terminated.  At the
time of termination, options for 48,000 Class B shares had been granted at $5.51
per share and expire in December,  1996. At June 30, 1996 and 1995,  options for
20,500 and 38,000 Class B shares,  respectively,  were exercisable.  Options for
17,500 shares were exercised  during 1996 and 10,000 were exercised during 1995.
The Company  realized  approximately  $45,000 in the  reduction  of income taxes
relating to  compensation  recognized  by the  directors  and  employees for the
excercise  of the  options.  The  reduction  in income taxes was not included in
earnings but has been reflected as additional paid-in capital.

NOTE K - SALE OF LAND FOR NATIONAL PARK

On June 28, 1990, the Petroglyph  National  Monument  ("National  Monument") was
established by an act of the United States Congress ("Congress"). Under the bill
passed by Congress,  the National Park Service is authorized to acquire  acreage
within the National Monument using funds  specifically  appropriated by Congress
each year. In 1995, approximately 24 acres were transferred to the National Park
Service for cash of $329,900.  The Company's  remaining land within the National
Monument  boundary of approximately 665 acres is expected to be sold in a series
of transactions over the next several years.


NOTE L - LITIGATION

The Company is engaged in various  lawsuits  either as  plaintiff  or  defendant
which  have  arisen in the  conduct of its  business  which,  in the  opinion of
management,  based upon advice of counsel,  would not have a material  effect on
the Company's financial position.


NOTE M - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company purchases its directors' and officers' liability insurance through a
corporation controlled by a member of the Board of Directors. Total premiums for

an ownership group which included a member of the Board of Directors.  Under the
sales agreement, the Board member received proceeds in the amount of $74,090.


NOTE N - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table includes various estimated fair value information as of June
30, 1996 as required by  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 107,
"Disclosures  about Fair Value of  Financial  Instruments"  ("SFAS  107").  Such
information,  which pertains to the Company's financial instruments, is based on
the  requirements  set forth in SFAS 107 and does not purport to  represent  the
aggregate net fair value of the Company.  The carrying  amounts in the table are
the amounts at which the  financial  instruments  are reported in the  financial
statements.

All of the  Company's  financial  instruments  are held for purposes  other than
trading.

The following  methods and  assumptions  were used to estimate the fair value of
each class of financial instruments:

1.   Cash and Cash Equivalents

The  carrying  amount  approximates  fair  value  because  the  Company  has the
contractual right to receive immediate payment on the deposit accounts.

2.   Real Estate Contracts Receivable

Long-term  notes  receivable  are  generally  collateralized  by real estate and
accrue interest at rates from 10% to 12%. Because the ultimate collectibility of
these notes is not reasonably  assured,  it is not  practicable to estimate fair
value.  Short-term  notes are valued at the  present  value of future cash flows
based on the current  rates at which  similar  loans would be made to purchasers
with similar credit ratings.

3.   Other Notes Receivable

Other  notes  receivable  are valued at the  present  value of future cash flows
based on the current  rates at which  similar  loans would be made to  borrowers
with similar credit ratings.

4.   Fixed Rate Long-Term Debt

The  discounted  amount  of  future  cash  flows  using  the  Company's  current
incremental  rate of borrowing for similar  liabilities is used to estimate fair
value.

5.   Floating Rate Long-Term Debt

The carrying  amount  approximates  fair value because  interest rates adjust to
market rates.

The  carrying  amounts  and  estimated  fair values of the  Company's  financial
instruments at June 30, 1996 are as follows:

                                                    Carrying      Estimated
                                                     amount       fair value

NOTE O - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On August 9, 1996,  the Board of Directors  declared a cash dividend of $.60 per
common share payable on August 27, 1996 to  stockholders of record on August 13,

adversely impact Tenant's full use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises.

business  licenses) for the  construction  and operation of the Leased Premises.
Subject to the restrictions contained in the Declaration,  the Building shall be
of such exterior and structural  design and character as is acceptable to Tenant
and as will also meet Tenant's  requirements  for its permanent  exterior signs,
which may extend  above the  Building  and shall be at  locations  and of a size

Tenant.  The Leased  Premises  and  Building  shall be erected and  completed by

the drawings referenced on Exhibit "C" attached hereto,  heretofore delivered to
Landlord and incorporated  herein by reference and made a part hereof.  All such
work  by  Landlord  shall  be done  by  contractors  selected  by  Landlord  and
acceptable  to Tenant.  Such work shall comply with the  requirements  of public
authorities and shall be done in a first-class,  good, and  workmanlike  manner,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances  for labor and materials  furnished

Leased  Premises  shall  contain  no grade  elevation  changes in excess of five

supervision of architects and engineers  licensed and registered in the State of
New Mexico.  Tenant  agrees to approve or reject said Plans,  within thirty (30)
days of Tenant's  receipt  thereof,  and if not approved or rejected within said
period,  said Plans shall be deemed  approved.  In the event Tenant shall reject
such Plans within the period provided  above,  Tenant shall return said Plans to
Landlord indicating the items so rejected.  Landlord shall then have thirty (30)
days to  resubmit  the Plans to Tenant,  and Tenant  shall have thirty (30) days
after  resubmittal  to approve or reject the same.  If not  approved or rejected
within said period, said Plans shall be deemed approved; provided, however, that
in no event shall the standards of quality of approved Plans, or of those deemed
approved,  be less than  those  required  by the  Criteria  Plans  and  Criteria
Specifications above described,  which shall control. If said Plans are rejected
after  being  resubmitted  to  Tenant,  and the  parties  are unable to agree on
approved Plans within thirty (30) days thereafter,  then either party may cancel
this  Lease  upon  thirty  (30)  days  written  notice  to the  other.  Any such
cancellation  notice shall be null and void if the plans are approved during the
thirty (30) day notice period. After approval of Plans, Tenant, at Tenant's sole
cost and  expense,  shall  have the  right to make  changes,  substitutions  and
eliminations  in said Plans provided,  however,  that Tenant shall pay all costs
and expenses on account of any such changes,  substitutions and eliminations. In
addition,  Tenant shall be solely  responsible for paying all costs and expenses
for  changes,  substitutions  and  additional  requirements  in the Plans  which
deviate  from the  Criteria  Plans  dated July 1, 1995 and  further  detailed on
Exhibit "C" attached  hereto.  Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate  with each
other and to diligently and in good faith make all reasonable  modifications  to
keep the cost of the Building and  improvements  as  economical as is reasonably
practicable.

after Tenant has returned the final set of Plans to Landlord  stamped  "approved
as noted"  pursuant to Section (b) of this Article but in any event prior to the
delivery of possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant,  Landlord shall provide
to Tenant a mylar  sepia of the final  Plans  prepared  by  Landlord as provided
above.

     (d) All Plans shall be deemed to be owned by Tenant  regardless  of by whom
prepared;  Landlord shall take all actions as may be appropriate or necessary at
any time and from time to time in order to evidence  such  ownership  in Tenant.

may use the Plans only in connection with a Walgreens Drug Store.

     (b) If the damage or destruction  referred to in Section (a) hereof amounts
to at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Building and occurs during the last
three (3) years of the Term of this  Lease or  during  the last  three (3) years
prior to any of Tenant's options to terminate, then and in such events, Landlord
and Tenant shall have the right and option, to terminate this Lease effective as
of the date of such  happening;  and any unearned rents paid in advance shall be
refunded.  Landlord  shall not have the right to exercise  the option under this
Section  during any period which shall be less than  thirty-six  (36) months and
more than twelve  (12) months  prior to any such  optional  termination  date if
Tenant shall,  within one (1) month after such  happening,  advise Landlord that
Tenant will not exercise  Tenant's option to terminate this Lease as of the next
optional termination date thereunder, and further, Landlord shall have the right
to  exercise  the option  under this  Section  during any period  which shall be
twelve (12) months or less prior to any such optional  termination  date only if
Tenant shall have theretofore  exercised Tenant's option to terminate this Lease
as of the next optional termination date. Notwithstanding any termination of the
Lease by Tenant  hereunder,  Tenant  shall  provide  Landlord  with a sufficient
amount of the  proceeds of the  insurance  required to be  maintained  by Tenant
under Article 20 hereof and such other proceeds which may be necessary to enable
Landlord to reconstruct or repair the Building and/or improvements on the Leased
Premises to their condition  immediately prior to damage or destruction.  In the
event Tenant shall elect to cancel this Lease hereunder, any proceeds payable by
Tenant to  Landlord  under this  Section (b) shall be  exclusive  of the cost of
improvements  made by or on  behalf  of Tenant  to the  Leased  Premises  and/or
Building.  In the event Tenant  shall elect not to cancel this Lease  hereunder,
Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  enter  into  a   construction   escrow   agreement
satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant  appointing a third party as escrow agent to
disburse such proceeds as Landiord's repair and  reconstruction  work progresses
and to monitor the repair and reconstruction of the Building and improvements by
Landlord.

     (c) If the fire or casualty is not an  insurable  casualty  under  Tenant's
fire and extended coverage  insurance,  Landlord or Tenant may cancel this Lease
upon notice to the other.  Tenant may void  Landlord's  notice of termination by
notifying  Landlord  within  thirty  (30) days after  receipt of such  notice of
termination that Tenant shall provide Landlord with a sufficient amount of money
necessary for Landlord to reconstruct ot repair the Building and/or improvements
on the Leased  Premises,  as required  by this  Article  14.  Landlord  may void
Tenant's notice of termination by notifying Tenant within thirty (30) days after
receipt of such notice of  termination  that Landlord  intends to reconstruct or
repair the Building  and/or  Landiord's  improvements  on the Leased Premises as
required by this Article 14, at Landiord's own cost and expense.

     (d) If required by statute,  ordinance,  governmental  rule or  regulation,
Landlord, at Landiord's expense, shall cause the fire and sprinkler alarm system
serving the Building to be monitored and maintained by a reputable alarm service
company and/or the local fire  department.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with a
copy of the above  service  contract  prior to the delivery of possession of the
Leased  Premises to Tenant.  Provided that Tenant has approved the alarm service
company selected by Landlord, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for governmentally
required  monitoring and maintenance  services,  including charges for dedicated
phone lines, to the extent the same apply to the Leased Premises. To secure such
reimbursement,  Landlord  shall submit to Tenant (300 VVilmot  Road,  Deerfield,
Illinois  60015,  Attention:  Fixed  Assets) a copy of the actual bill  therefor
together  with a copy of the  service  contract  pursuant to which such bill has
been issued.  Landlord shall be responsible  for any costs incurred for permits,
inspections and false alarms (except those caused by Tenant). Landlord shall, at
Landlord's  expense,   install  and  maintain  any  phone  line(s)  required  in
connection with such fire and sprinkler alarm system.

LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO INSPECT

     15. Landlord may at reasonable  times during Tenant's  business hours,  and
after so advising Tenant, enter the Building for the purpose of examining and of
making repairs required of Landlord under this Lease and during the last six (6)
months of the Term may place the usual "For Rent" signs in the Leased  Premises,
but not so"@s to interfere with Tenant's business.

SURRENDER

     16. At the expiration or termination of this Lease,  Tenant shall surrender
immediate  possession  of the  Leased  Premises  in good  condition,  subject to
reasonable wear and tear, changes and alteration,  damage by fire,  casualty and
the elements,  and other repairs which are  Landlord's  obligation . Any holding
over by Tenant  shall not  operate,  except by written  agreement,  to extend or
renew this Lease or to imply or create a new lease,  but in such case Landlord's
rights  shall be  limited  to  either  the  immediate  termination  of  Tenant's
occupancy or the  treatment of Tenant's  occupancy as a month to month  tenancy,
any custom or law to the contrary  notwithstanding.  Tenant shall repair  damage
caused by the removal of Tenant's fixtures and equipment.

DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     17.  (a) If any rent is due and  remains  unpaid  for ten (10)  days  after
receipt  of  notice  from  Landlord,  or if  Tenant  breaches  any of the  other
covenants of this Lease and if such other breach  continues for thirty (30) days
after receipt of notice from  Landlord,  Landlord shall then but not until then,
as its sole legal  remedies  but in  addition  to its  remedies  in  equity,  if
available,  have  the  right  (a) to sue  for  rent,  (b)  to  re-enter  without
terminating  this Lease,  provided that  Landlord  shall use its best efforts to
relet the Leased  Premises  for Tenant's  account and  otherwise to mitigate its
damages (it being  expressly  understood  that Tenant shall  remain  liable on a
monthly basis for the difference  between what Tenant's  obligations  under this
Lease are and what Landlord  actually  collects,  and further  provided  that-if
Landlord elects to re-enter  without  terminating  this Lease,  this Lease shall
nonetheless  expire  as of the next  optional  termination  date as set forth in
Article 3[d]), or (c) to terminate this Lease and re-enter the Leased  Premises;
but if Tenant  shall pay said rent within  said ten (10) days,  or in good faith
within  said  thirty  (30) days  commence  to  correct  such other  breach,  and
diligently proceed therewith, then Tenant shall not be considered in default.

     (b) If Landlord  shall from time to time fail to pay any sum or sums due to
Tenant  and if such  failure  continues  for thirty  (30) days after  receipt of
notice  from  Tenant,  Tenant  shall  have the right  and is hereby  irrevocably
authorized  and  directed to deduct  such sum or sums from fixed and  percentage
rent  and  other  sums due  Landlord,  together  with  interest  thereon  at the
so-called  prime rate  charged from time to time by The First  National  Bank of
Chicago,  plus two per cent until fully reimbursed.  If Landlord shall from time
to time fail to perform  any act or acts  required of Landlord by this Lease and
if such  failure  continues  for thirty  (30) days after  receipt of notice from
Tenant,  Tenant shall then have the right, at Tenant's  option,  to perform such
act or acts, in such manner as Tenant deems reasonably  necessary,  and the full
amount  of the  cost and  expense  so  incurred  shall  immediately  be owing by
Landlord to Tenant,  and Tenant  shall have the right and is hereby  irrevocably
authorized and directed to deduct such amount from fixed and percentage rent and
other sums due Landlord,  together with interest  thereon at the so-called prime
rate charged from time to time by The First  National Bank of Chicago,  plus two
per cent until fully  reimbursed.  If Landlord  shall in good faith  within said
thirty  (30) days  commence  to correct  such  breach,  and  diligently  proceed
therewith to completion, then Landlord shall not be considered in default.

     (c) No delay on the part of either party in enforcing any of the provisions
of this Lease shall be considered as a waiver  thereof.  Any consent or approval
granted by either  party  under  this Lease must be in writing  and shall not be
deemed to waive or render  unnecessary the obtaining of consent or approval with
respect to any  subsequent  act or  omission  for which  consent is  required or
sought.

TITLE AND POSSESSION

     18. (a)  Landlord  covenants,  represents  and warrants  that  Landlord has
entered into a contract to acquire fee simple legal title to the Leased Premises
and has the right to enter into this Lease, that said entire property is now and
shall be as of the date of Tenant's  recording of a Memorandum of this Lease and
a  Ratification  Agreement  as  below  defined  free  and  clear  of all  liens,
encumbrances and  restrictions,  except for those items set forth on Exhibit "D"
attached  hereto and made a part hereof,  none of which shall  limit,  interfere
with or prohibit  Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises or interfere
with any of Tenant's rights under this Lease, and that upon paying the rents and
keeping  the  agreements  of this  Lease on its  part to be kept and  performed,
Tenant shall have peaceful and  uninterrupted  possession during the continuance
of this  Lease.  Upon  acquisition  of fee  title,  Landlord  shall  execute  an
agreement in the form  attached  hereto as Exhibit "E",  ratifying  and adopting
this Lease ("Ratification Agreement") and Landlord, at Landlord's expense, shall
furnish  Tenant  evidence of Landiord's  title and the status  thereof as of the
date  of  such  acquisition  and  as of the  date  of the  recordation  of  such
Ratification Agreement.  Such evidence shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory  to Tenant and shall be delivered to Tenant no later than seven (7)
business  days prior to the date for  delivery of  possession  as  described  in
Section (a) of Article 4, and shall include,  among other things,  evidence that
the Leased  Premises and the Adjoining  Property are properly  zoned for general
retail  use,  including  the  operation  of a drug  store  with a  drive-through
pharmacy.  Landlord  shall also  provide  Tenant with an as-built  survey of the
Leased Premises drawn per ALTA standards and certified to Tenant.

     (b) If at the date of the recording of the  Memorandum of this Lease or the
Ratification  Agreement,  whichever is later, the Leased  Premises,  or any part
thereof is subject to any mortgage,  deed of trust or other  encumbrance  in the
nature of a mortgage, which is prior and superior to this Lease, it is a further
express  condition  hereof that Landlord shall thereupon  furnish and deliver to
Tenant,  in form and substance  reasonably  acceptable  to Tenant,  an agreement
executed by such mortgagee or trustee,  either (i) making such mortgage, deed of
trust or other  encumbrance in the nature of a mortgage  subject and subordinate
to this Lease and to the leasehold  estate created hereby and to all of Tenant's
rights hereunder, or (ii) obligating such mortgagee or trustee and any successor
thereto  to be bound by this  Lease  and by all of  Tenant's  rights  hereunder,
provided  that Tenant is not then in continued  default,  after  notice,  in the
payment of rents or otherwise under the terms of this Lease.

     (c) It is  understood  and  agreed  that  Tenant  shall,  in no  event,  be
obligated to accept  possession  of the Leased  Premises  until the Landlord has
complied with the provisions of this Article.

     (d) (i) If  required  by  Landiord's  institutional  lender,  Tenant  shall
subordinate the lien of this Lease to the lien of such mortgage  encumbering the
Leased Premises,  so long as such lender  simultaneously with such subordination
and as a condition of the same,  executes in  recordable  form a  Subordination,
Non-Disturbance  and  Attornment  Agreement in form and substance  acceptable to
Tenant and agrees to be bound by all of the terms and  conditions of this Lease.
In the event of a conflict  between the terms of such  mortgage and the terms of
this Lease, the terms of this Lease shall prevail.

     (ii)  Landlord  and Tenant agree to execute and deliver to the other within
twenty  (20) days from  receipt  of either  party's  written  request,  estoppel
certificates  in a form  acceptable  to the party to whom such  request is made,
which  certificates  shall include  information as to any  modification  of this
Lease, and to the best of Tenant's or Landlord's  knowledge,  whether or not the
other party is in default of this Lease.

REAL ESTATE TAXES

     19. (a) Landlord, prior to the Rent Commencement Date, shall make a mailing
address  change on the property tax records so that as of the Rent  Commencement
Date the tax bill and tax notices for only the Leased Premises will be mailed to
Tenant at the  following  address:  Walgreen  Co., 300 Wilmot  Road,  Deerfield,
Illinois 60015, Attention:  Tax Department.  Prior to the date that the tax bill
is mailed directly to Tenant pursuant  hereto,  Landlord,  prior to delinquency,
shall send to Tenant a copy of the tax bill for the Leased Premises if Tenant is
obligated to pay for such taxes.

     (b) Upon receipt of the aforesaid tax bills, Tenant shall pay, when due and
before  delinquency,  the ad valorem  real estate taxes  (including  all special
benefit  taxes and special  assessments  but  excluding  so-called  impact fees)
levied and  assessed  against  the  Leased  Premises,  commencing  with the Rent
Commencement Date and continuing for the remainder of the Term. However,  the ad
valorem taxes levied or assessed for the year in which Tenant  commences  paying
fixed rent shall be prorated  between  Landlord  and Tenant so that Tenant shall
pay only such part  thereof as  pertains  to the period  commencing  on the Rent
Commencementbate and ending December 31st bears to such entire tax year, and the
ad valorem taxes levied or assessed for the year during which this Lease expires
or is terminated  shall be prorated  between  Landlord and Tenant so that Tenant
shall pay only such part  thereof as the period  commencing  on January  lst and
ending on the date this Lease expires or is terminated.  Within thirty (30) days
after  payment of any such taxes,  or as soon  thereafter  as receipt  bills are
available, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord photocopies of bills indicating such
payments.

     If Landlord  is  required  to pay to its lender a monthly  escrow for taxes
levied and assessed  against the Leased  Premises,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord
its pro rata share of such taxes on a monthly basis. At the end of each tax year
for which said taxes are levied,  Landlord  shall  furnish to Tenant a statement
from its lender and a copy of the paid tax bill as  furnished to Landlord by its
lender, and any overage paid by Tenant to Landlord shall be reimbursed to Tenant
and any shortage shall be paid to Landlord.

     (c) Tenant shall have the right, and is hereby  irrevocably  authorized and
directed  to deduct and retain  amounts  payable  under the  provisions  of this
Article from additional  percentage rents payable under Section (b) of Article 2
for such tax year,  or in the  alternative,  if such  taxes for any tax year are
payable after  percentage rents under Section (b) of Article 2 for such tax year
are  payable,  then Tenant  shall have no  liability  under this  Article to the
extent of such percentage rents paid for such tax year. In such event,  Landlord
shall refund to Tenant the amount of such overpayment of percentage rent.

     (d) All special benefit taxes and special  assessments shall be spread over
the longest time  permitted  and Tenant's  liability  for  installments  of such
special  benefit taxes and special  assessments not yet due shall cease upon the
expiration or termination  of this Lease.  In no event shall Tenant be obligated
to pay any  impact  fees  whether or not  billed by the  taxing  authority  as a
special benefit tax or a special assessment.

     (e) (i) Tenant  shall have the right to contest the  validity or the amount
of any tax or assessment  levied against the Leased Premises or any improvements
thereon,  provided  that  Tenant  shall not take any action  which will cause or
allow the institution of foreclosure  proceedings  against the Leased  Premises.
Landlord shall cooperate in the  institution of any such  proceedings to contest
the  validity or amount of real  estate  taxes and will  execute  any  documents
required therefor.

     (ii)  Landlord  covenants  and agrees that if there shall be any refunds or
rebates on account of any tax,  governmental  imposition  or levy paid by Tenant
under the  provisions  of this  Lease,  such  refund or rebate  shall  belong to
Tenant. Any such refunds or rebates which shall be received by Landlord shall be
held in trust for the benefit of Tenant and shall be  forthwith  paid to Tenant.
Landlord shall, on request of Tenant, sign any receipt which may be necessary to
secure the  payment of any such  refund or rebate,  and shall pay over to Tenant
such refund or rebate as received by Landlord.

INSURANCE

     20.  Commencing with the Initial Term,  Tenant shall carry an all risk fire
and  extended  coverage  insurance  policy  covering  the Building and the other
improvements constructed by Landlord on the Leased Premises to the extent of not
less  than  one  hundred  percent  (100%)  pf the  full  insurable  value,  less
foundations,  with companies which are authorized to do business in the State of
New  Mexico and are  governed  by the  regulatory  authority  which  establishes
maximum rates in the vicinity.  Tenant, upon request of Landlord's lender, shall
also carry earthquake and/or flood damage insurance to the same extent as may be
acceptable to Tenant and as customary for all risk  coverage.  Tenant shall also
procure and continue in effect public  liability and property  damage  insurance
with respect to the  operation of the Leased  Premises  (and also  covering that
portion of the adjoining  property used by Tenant for ingress and egress).  Such
public  liability  insurance shall cover liability for death or bodily injury in
any one  accident,  mishap or  casualty  in a sum of not less  than One  Million
Dollars  ($1,000,000.00),  and shall cover  liability for property damage in one
accident, mishap or casualty in the amount of not less than One Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($100,000.00). Tenant agrees to name the owner of the adjoining property
as an additional  insured under such policy in compliance with the provisions of
the Declaration. The proceeds from Tenant's casualty insurance shall be paid and
applied  only as set forth in  Article  14  hereof.  Any  insurance  carried  or
required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to this Lease may, at Tenant's option,
be carried  under an  insurance  policy(ies),  self-insurance  or  pursuant to a
master  policy of insurance or so-called  blanket  policy of insurance  covering
other  locations of Tenant or its  corporation  affiliates,  or any  combination
thereof;  provided,  however,  that  in the  event  Tenant  carries  any of such
insurance  under  any  policy,  Tenant  shall  have  the  right  and  is  hereby
irrevocably  authorized  and  directed  to deduct and retain the amounts of said
premiums in any lease year from  percentage  rents  payable under Section (b) of
Article 2 for such lease year,  provided  such  premiums are at market rates and
excludes  premiums for Tenant's  personal  property.  From time to time and upon
request from Landlord to Tenant's Tax  Department,  300 Wilmot Road,  Deerfield,
Illinois  60015,  Tenant  shall  cause  to  be  issued  to  Landlord  a  current
Certificate of Insurance  naming  Landlord as additional  insured under Tenant's
casualty insurance policy.

     Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Tenant may self-insure only so long as the
consolidated  net worth of Walgreen Co. is not less than Three  Hundred  Million
Dollars ($300,000,000.00).  Proceeds of self-insurance shall be paid to the same
extent as would an all risk fire and extended  coverage  insurance policy issued
by a reputable  insurance company  authorized to do business in the State of New
Mexico and which is  governed  by the  regulatory  authority  which  establishes
maximum rates in the vicinity (such as Hartford  Casualty  Insurance  Company or
such other  insurer as  Landlord's  lender  may  designate  from time to time by
notice to Landlord and Tenant),  with such  endorsements  as  Landlord's  lender
would normally  require with respect to such a policy covering  property serving
as collateral for a loan by Landlord's  lender.  On Landiord's  request,  Tenant
will  deliver to Landlord  written  confirmation  of the coverage in a letter or
certificate of insurance.

MUTUAL INDEMNITY

     21.  Except for loss,  cost and expense  caused by fire or other  casualty,
Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other against and
from any and all loss,  cost and  expense  resulting  from their own  respective
negligent  acts and  omissions  or the  negligent  acts and  omissions  of their
respective employees in the course of their employment.

CONDEMNATION

     22. If the entire Leased  Premises shall be taken by reason of condemnation
or under eminent domain proceedings, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease
as of the date when  possession of the Leased Premises is taken. If a portion of
the  Leased  Premises  shall be taken  under  eminent  domain  or by  reason  of
condemnation  and  if in  the  opinion  of  Tenant,  reasonably  exercised,  the
remainder of the Leased Premises are no longer  suitable for Tenant's  business,
this Lease,  at Tenant's  option,  to be exercised by notice to Landlord  within
sixty (60) days of such taking,  shall  terminate;  any  unearned  rents paid or
credited  in  advance  shall be  refunded  to  Tenant.  If this  Lease is not so
terminated,  Landlord forthwith and with due diligence, shall restore the Leased
Premises.  Until so  restored,  fixed rent shall abate to the extent that Tenant
shall  not be able to  conduct  business,  and  thereafter  fixed  rent  for the
remaining portion of the Term shall be proportionately reduced.

     Tenant shall be entitled to the award in connection  with any  condemnation
insofar as the same represents  compensation for or damage to Tenant's fixtures,
equipment,  leasehold improvements or other property, moving expenses as well as
the loss of leasehold (i.e. the unexpired  balance of the lease Term immediately
prior to such taking).  Landlord  shall be entitled to the award insofar as same
represents  compensation  for or damage to the fee  remainder.  Any mortgagee of
Landlord shall be compensated out of Landlord's award.

     For the purposes of this Article,  the term  "condemnation or under eminent
domain proceedings" shall include conveyances and grants made in anticipation of
or in lieu of such proceedings.

BROKERAGE

     23.  Landlord and Tenant  represent  that they have dealt with no broker or
agent with  respect to this Lease.  Landlord  hereby  indemnifies  and saves and
holds  Tenant  harmless   against  any  claims  for  brokerage   commissions  or
compensation or other claims of any kind (including  reasonable  attorney's fees
and  costs)  arising  out of the  negotiation  and  execution,  of this Lease or
Tenant's interest or involvement with respect to the Leased Premises.

PREVAILING PARTY

     24. In the event of  litigation  between  Landlord and Tenant in connection
with this Lease, the reasonable  attorneys'fees  and court costs incurred by the
party prevailing in such litigation shall be borne by the nonprevailing party.

NOTICES

     25. All notices  hereunder  shall be in writing  and sent by United  States
certified or registered mail, postage prepaid,  or by overnight delivery service
providing  proof of receipt,  addressed if to Landlord,  to the place where rent
checks  are to be  mailed,  and if to Tenant,  to 200  Wilmot  Road,  Deerfield,
Illinois  60015,  Attention:  Law  Department,  and a  duplicate  to the  Leased
Premises,  provided  that each party by like notice may  designate any future or
different  addresses to which subsequent notices shall be sent. Notices shall be
deemed given upon receipt or upon refusal to accept delivery.

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

     26.  (a) From and after the date that is Ten (10)  years  after the date of
this  Lease,  in the event  that  Landlord  shall  receive a Bona Fide  Offer to
purchase  the Leased  Premises at any time and from time to time during the Term
of this Lease or any  extensions  thereof  from any  person or entity,  Landlord
shall so notify Tenant (Attn: Law Department with a duplicate notice to the Real
Estate  Department)  together  with a true and  correct  copy of said  Bona Fide
Offer.  For purposes  hereof, a "Bona Fide Offer" shall be deemed to be one made
in writing by a person or entity that is not related or affiliated with Landlord
(or any of Landiord's Partners or principal owners) in which Landlord intends to
accept (subject to this Article).  Tenant may, at Tenant's option and within ten
(10) working days after receipt of Landiord's notice of said Bona Fide Offer and
receipt of a copy  thereof,  offer to purchase the Leased  Premises at the price
and upon the terms and  conditions as are contained in said Bona Fide Offer,  in
which event,  Landlord shall sell the Leased  Premises to Tenant upon said terms
and conditions and that said price;  furthermore,  in such event, Landlord shall
convey the Leased Premises to Tenant by warranty deed.  Landlord  covenants that
it shall  accept no such Bona Fide  Offer or convey  the  premises  until it has
complied with the terms of this Article.  Any conveyance of the Leased  Premises
made in the absence of full  satisfaction of this Article shall be void.  Tenant
may  enforce  this  Article,   without  limitation,   by  injunction,   specific
performance or other equitable relief.

     (b) Tenants election not to exercise any right of first refusal as provided
for in this Article 26 shall not prejudice  Tenant's rights  hereunder as to any
future Bona Fide Offer.  The terms and  conditions  contained in this Article 26
shall be binding upon the heirs, successors and/or assigns of Landlord.

TRANSFER OF TITLE

     27. (a) In the event  that  Landlord  conveys  its  interest  in the Leased
Premises to any other person or entity,  Tenant shall have no  obligation to pay
rents or any other charges under this Lease to any such transferee  until Tenant
has been notified of such conveyance and has received  satisfactory  evidence of
such conveyance together with a written direction from such transferee as to the
name and address of the new payee of rents and other  charges.  It is understood
and agreed that Tenant's withholding of rent and other charges until its receipt
of such satisfactory evidence shall not be deemed a default under this Lease.

     (b) In the  event  Landlord  sells its  interest  in the  Leased  Premises,
Landlord  shall be relieved  of any and all  liability  under any of  Landlord's
covenants and obligations contained in or derived from this Lease arising out of
any act,  occurrence,  or omission  occurring  thereafter,  and the  assignee or
purchaser  at any such sale or any  subsequent  sale of the Leased  Premises  or
assignment of this Lease,  shall be deemed without any further agreement between
the parties and any such  assignee or  purchaser,  to have assumed and agreed to
carry out any and all of the covenants and  obligations  of Landlord  under this
Lease.

RENT TAX

     28. In the event that any  governmental  authority  imposes a tax,  charge,
assessment or other  imposition  upon tenants in general which is based upon the
rents payable under this Lease,  Tenant shall pay the same to said  governmental
authority  or to Landlord if  Landlord  is  responsible  to collect the same (in
which case Landlord shall remit the same in a timely manner and, upon request of
Tenant,  evidence to Tenant said  remittance).  Tenant is hereby  authorized and
directed to deduct the amount of such taxes, charges, assessments or impositions
from additional percentage rents payable under Section (b) of Article 2 for such
lease  year or, in the  alternative,  in the event  that  such  imposition  or a
portion  thereof is due after  percentage  rents,  payable  under Section (b) of
Article 2 have been paid,  Tenant shall have no liability  under this Article to
the extent  that  percentage  rents for said lease year have been paid.  Nothing
contained  herein shall be deemed to obligate Tenant with respect to any income,
inheritance or successor tax or imposition.

MISCELLANEOUS

     29. (a)  Captions of the several  Articles  contained in this Lease are for
convenience  only and do not  constitute  a part of this Lease and do not limit,
affect or construe the contents of such Articles.

     (b) If any provision of this Lease shall be held to be invalid,  illegal or
unenforceable,  the  validity,  legality  and  enforceability  of the  remaining
provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired thereby.

     (c) If the  Landlord is  comprised  of more than one person or entity,  the
obligations imposed on Landlord under this Lease shall be joint and several.

     (d) All  provisions  of this Lease have been  negotiated by both parties at
arm's length and neither party shall be deemed the scrivener of this Lease. This
Lease  shall  not be  construed  for or  against  either  party by reason of the
authorship or alleged authorship of any provision hereof.

     (e) This instrument shall merge all undertakings between the parties hereto
with respect to the Leased Premises and shall constitute the entire lease unless
otherwise hereafter modified by both parties in writing.

     (f) This instrument  shall also bind and benefit,  as the case may require,
the heirs,  legal  representatives,  assigns and  successors  of the  respective
parties, and all covenants,  conditions and agreements herein contained shall be
construed as covenants  running with the land. This instrument  shall not become
binding upon the parties until it shall have been executed and delivered by both
Landlord and Tenant.

     (g) Landlord has been afforded a full and fair  opportunity  to seek advice
from legal counsel and Landlord  acknowledges that Tenant's attorney  represents
Tenant and not Landlord.

     (h) Notwithstanding  any provision of this Lease to the contrary,  the Term
shall  commence,  if at all, not later than twenty-one (21) years after the date
