NATIONAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has adopted effective January 1, 1998 the Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for the reporting and display
of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general purpose financial statements. The effect of FAS No. 130 on
the Company's interim financial statements is to present in the
statement of income, unrealized gains and losses on marketable
securities net of income taxes, which in periods prior to 1998 had
been reported as an annual adjustment directly to stockholders'
equity.
The balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income,
and statements of cash flow at March 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
periods then ended are not audited but reflect all adjustments
which are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of
management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of the
periods shown.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company, an Iowa corporation, is engaged principally in the
development of commercial real estate for lease to qualified
tenants.
On March 20, 2000 the Company sold its Fayette, Iowa GTE Telephone
Service Center Building to Upper Iowa University. The GTE lease
expired April 30, 2000 and the Company retained the monthly rental
through lease expiration. The property's fair market value of
$185,000 was determined by MAI appraisal dated March 1, 2000. The
property was sold for $50,000 cash, and the remaining $135,000
fair market value was gifted to the University.
On May 1, 2000 the Company sold its Chariton, Iowa GTE Telephone
Service Center Building to Chariton Community School District.
The GTE lease expired April 30, 2000. The property's fair market
value of $320,000 was determined by MAI appraisal dated March 27,
2000. The property was sold for $150,000 cash, and the remaining
$170,000 fair market value was gifted to the School District.
Operating Results
Lease revenues in the first quarter 2000 were $1,205,000 up
$75,000 or 6.6% over the corresponding period in 1999. The
company's convenience stores accounted for approximately $60,000
of the increase with the addition of the Olathe, Kansas and Lee's
Summit, Missouri stores in December 1999. Lease revenues from two
of the Company's three garden center buildings declined
approximately $10,000 in the first quarter from their first
quarter 1999 level after releasing them to a new tenant in October
1999. Contingent rentals based on sales overages increased
$28,000 in the first quarter over the same period in 1999.
Investment income including gains on sale of marketable securities
was approximately $12,000 in the first quarter 2000 compared to
$63,000 in the first quarter 1999.
The Company realized a gain of $93,000 on the sale of its GTE
telephone service center building in March 2000. The gain was
based on a fair market value of $185,000 as determined by MAI
appraisal. The property was sold for $50,000 cash with the
remaining $135,000 fair market value gifted to a university.
Total expenses for the first quarter 2000 were $590,000 compared
to $481,000 in the first quarter 1999. The increase was primarily
due to the $135,000 donation to a university referred to above.
Depreciation and interest expense, two key figures for the
Company, declined $43,000 in the first quarter 2000 from the same
period in 1999. Although interest rates were higher during the
first quarter 2000 than the same period in 1999 (8.4% compared to
7.5%), the Company had an average of $2,160,000 less borrowed on
its three credit lines in the first quarter 2000 than it did
during the first quarter 1999.
Other general and administrative expenses led by compensation
increased $17,000 or 14.5% in the first quarter 2000 over the
first quarter 1999.
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2000, the Company's main sources of liquidity
consisted of $230,000 in cash, marketable securities having a
market value of approximately $1,777,000 and a $3,600,000
remaining loan balance available on three lines of credit with a
local bank. In addition, the Company owns unencumbered real
estate having an aggregate depreciated cost of approximately
$14,000,000. Management believes that its cash flow from
operations and other potential sources of cash will be sufficient
to finance current and projected operations.
