NATIONAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The Company has adopted effective January 1, 1998 the Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income
and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The
effect of FAS No. 130 on the Company's interim financial statements is to
present in the statement of income, unrealized gains on marketable securities
net of income taxes, which in periods prior to 1998 had been reported as
annual adjustment directly to stockholders' equity.

The balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income, and
statements of cash flow at June 30, 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.

At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held May 19, 2000, the
Company declared a $0.14 per share dividend to be paid July 28, 2000 to

Operating Results

Lease revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2000 amounted to
$2,243,000 compared to $2,135,000 for the same period in 1999, an increase of
$108,000 or 5.1%.  The Company's convenience stores accounted for
approximately $120,000 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 centers declined $20,000 in the first
six months from their six month level in 1999 after releasing them to a new
tenant in October 1999.  The Company sold its two GTE Telephone Service
Centers in 2000 earning $21,000 less in lease revenues in the current period
compared to the first six months of 1999.  Contingent rentals based on sales
overages increased $29,000 in the first six months over the same period in
1999.

Investment income including gains on sale of marketable securities were
approximately $30,000 in the first six months of 2000 compared to $79,000 in
the same period in 1999.

The Company recorded gains of $300,000 during the first six months of 2000
from the sale of its two GTE Telephone Service Centers.  The gains were based
on fair market values totaling $505,000 for the two buildings as determined
by MAI appraisals.  The properties were sold for $200,000 cash with the
remaining fair market value of $305,000 gifted to the purchasers.  See
management's discussion and analysis above.

Total expenses for the first six months of 2000 were $1,182,000 compared to
$962,000 for the same period in 1999.  The increase was primarily due to
donations of $305,000 recorded in connection with the sale of the Company's
two GTE Telephone Service Centers noted above.

Depreciation and interest expense, two key figures for the Company, declined
$49,000 and $48,000 respectively, in the first six months of 2000 from the
same period in 1999.  Although interest rates were higher during the first
six months of 2000 than the same period in 1999 (average rate of 8.875% for
2000 compared to 7.500% for 1999), the Company had an average of $2,205,000
less borrowed on its three credit lines and mortgage in the six months ended
June 30, 2000 then it did during the same period in 1999.

Other general and administrative expenses (excluding donations) led by
compensation expense increased $12,000 or 4.8% in the first six months of
2000 over the same period in 1999.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $876,000 compared to
$788,000 for the same period in 1999, a increase of $88,000 or $0.23 per
share.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2000 the Company's main source of liquidity consisted of
$55,000 in cash, marketable securities having a market value of approximately
$1,784,000 and a $4,125,000 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.
